I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 750 Li Chen's forte is this disguise strategy! (Please subscribe and vote!)
It's clear that Sylph put in a lot of effort; at least she tried very hard.

They didn't even mention that when they went to make breakfast this morning, they were scolded by the kitchen servants.

Li Chen glanced at the so-called "breakfast" and frowned almost imperceptibly: "Is this what you and your daughter usually eat?"

Sylph nodded silently, a hint of grievance and helplessness flashing in her amethyst eyes.

"Let's go," Li Chen said casually, "I'll take you out to get something good to eat."

Upon hearing this, Sylph was initially delighted, but then became worried: "My lord, it's daytime now, and there are many people around. Won't going out like this expose your whereabouts? What if the family members..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Chen smiled slightly, a smile that conveyed absolute confidence and composure.

He reached out and grabbed Sylph's wrist. The next moment, Sylph felt a blur before her eyes, and the surrounding scenery rushed past like a streak of light, with the whistling wind in her ears.

When she regained her composure and looked around, she was astonished to find herself standing outside the Windwhisperer family castle, on a bustling street in Silvershine City!
"It's out already?" Sylph covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

As expected of a Saint Realm expert, such free and easy methods are simply divine!
Li Chen was only unfamiliar with the terrain yesterday, but after exploring it last night, he has a general understanding of it, so it will definitely be easier for him to come out now.

Li Chen was not short of money, so he took Sylph directly to the most luxurious and high-class hotel in Silverlight City, "Glassy Dome".

Those who can afford to patronize this place are either rich or noble. When the waiters at the entrance, dressed in smart uniforms, saw Li Chen's bishop's robe, which, though not ostentatious, bore the obvious insignia of the Vatican, their attitude immediately became extremely respectful. They bowed and ushered them inside, not daring to ask a single question.

However, when the waiter's gaze swept over Sylph beside Li Chen, a hint of surprise and barely perceptible disdain flashed in his eyes.

Although the girl was stunningly beautiful and had an ethereal air, she wore a cheap, faded cotton dress that clashed with the opulent surroundings.

Sylph's beauty quickly attracted the attention of many dignitaries in the hotel.

Those eyes were filled with amazement, greed, and a desire to possess it and keep it as a pet.

However, when their gaze fell upon Li Chen, who stood beside her with a deep aura and wore papal robes, all their covetousness was instantly suppressed.

Even in Silvershine City, where faith is relatively weak and various races are mixed, no one would dare to openly provoke the people of the Holy See.

In order to maintain its supreme authority, the Vatican often labels anyone who dares to challenge it as a "heretic" and then eliminates them completely with ruthless methods.

In the Eternal Day Empire, being labeled a heretic was almost equivalent to a death sentence.

Offending the entire Vatican for a woman? That's incredibly foolish.

Ignoring the various gazes, Li Chen sat down in a private seat by the window, picked up the gold-rimmed menu, and ordered only the most expensive and exquisite signature dishes on the menu.

Sylph sat opposite him, looking somewhat flustered.

It wasn't that she didn't want to order, but rather that she simply didn't dare. She had never even heard of the dishes listed, and the prices made her dizzy. Soon, the waiters brought out one after another dishes that were exquisite in color, aroma, and taste, resembling works of art.

The crystal-clear shrimp dumplings, the fragrant roasted antelope chops, the platter made with various rare fruits, and the enticing aroma of the mushroom soup with its rich elemental fluctuations instantly conquered Sylph's sense of smell.

Looking at the table full of food she had never seen before, her stomach, which had been growling since she was hungry all morning, started to rumble, and her mouth almost watered.

Her large, amethyst-like eyes were fixed on the food, her little nose twitching slightly, just like a little cat eyeing dried fish. Her expression of wanting to eat so much yet trying to restrain herself carried a kind of innocent and charming beauty.

"Sir, can I really eat these?" she asked timidly, her voice filled with longing and uncertainty.

“Sure,” Li Chen said, finding her expression somewhat amusing, and his tone softened. “Eat as much as you want, don’t be shy. After you’re done, pack some for your mother to take back with her.”

"Thank you, sir!" Sylph was moved to tears and could no longer resist. She began to savor the delicious food in small bites, and then faster and faster, her face beaming with happiness and satisfaction.

Just as Sylph was enjoying her meal, a plan gradually became clear in Li Chen's mind.

While conducting investigations in secret is discreet, its efficiency is ultimately limited.

The Windwhisperers, as the local power in Silvershine City, have been entrenched here for many years. They have extensive connections and are well-informed. Moreover, their understanding of the local area and the surrounding region is far beyond what he, an outsider, can match.

Based on the current investigation, they do not seem to have a direct connection with the Pope's disappearance and are not highly suspicious. After a thorough inspection of the patriarch's room, we can basically confirm the matter.

Since that's the case, why not take this family under our control and let them investigate for us?

By leveraging the power of the Wind Whisperer family, we can improve efficiency, better conceal our presence, and plant a deeper seed in the southern part of the Eternal Day Empire—a win-win situation.

A calculating smile curved at the corners of Li Chen's mouth.

His specialty is this kind of disguise style.

Last time, he transformed into the "Witch Ancestor" in the Great Luo Dynasty and controlled a country without bloodshed, which gave him a taste of success and allowed him to accumulate rich experience in "playing" roles.

At that moment, a similar plan quickly took shape in his mind.

The energy source within one's own body is supreme, making it easy to simulate any kind of divine aura; moreover, the bloodline of the Witch Ancestor seems to be related to the elves.

In that case, wouldn't it be faster to consolidate power and use it for one's own purposes by playing the role of a supreme being in the eyes of the half-elf race?
When Sylph had almost finished eating, her belly slightly bulging and her face flushed with satisfaction, Li Chen casually asked, "Sylph, in your half-elf race, what bloodline is considered the most sacred and supreme?"

Upon hearing this, Sylph put down her cutlery, wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and replied earnestly, "My lord, in the legends and understanding of us half-elves, the most sacred bloodline is naturally the direct bloodline of the ancient Elf King!"
Even if this bloodline has been diluted over countless generations and become extremely thin, as long as one can awaken or be proven to possess the mark of the Elf King's bloodline, they will still have unparalleled appeal within their clan.

That's enough to instill in all other half-elves, regardless of their family background or strength, an instinctive sense of awe, even to the point of submission! It's an ingrained sense of recognition and submission to the king, etched deep in our blood.
