The High Priest fell silent for a moment after hearing Lu Jun's words.
In the end, she nodded.
"You're right. The Tree God bears no hostility toward any of you."
"Moreover, the Tree God did indeed ask me to tell you some things."
After saying that, she waved toward the outside.
"Bring out our treasured Sunlight Divine Brew and serve it to our honored guests."
Sunlight Divine Brew?
A burst of startled cries came from outside.
"High Priest! The Sunlight Divine Brew?"
An Elf's voice was full of disbelief.
That was the most precious treasure of the Wood Elf clan!
It took a thousand years to condense a single drop!
It took ten thousand years to fill a small gourd!
Even the High Priest herself was usually reluctant to drink it.
And now, it was going to be used to entertain these outsiders?
"High Priest, this... is this appropriate?" The Elf's voice carried a trace of hesitation.
The Sunlight Divine Brew was far too precious.
Even the High Priest needed the approval of the Council of Elders before she could use it.
Yet the High Priest had made this decision alone?
The High Priest nodded.
"That's right. It is the Tree God's will."
The Tree God's will?
The Elf froze.
The Tree God... had personally given the order?
Just who were these outsiders?
Who could make the Tree God personally order that they be entertained?
"Yes, High Priest!"
The Elf answered respectfully.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Jian Wuhen and the others exchanged looks.
What exactly was this Sunlight Divine Brew, for the Elf clan to value it so highly?
"Master..." Jian Wuhen could not help but speak.
Lu Jun waved his hand, signaling for him not to ask further.
"You'll find out soon enough."
Jian Wuhen nodded
