Li Wei walked into the Holy Light Hall.
He saw Grand Archbishop Lancelot, dressed in a white-and-gold Bishop’s Robe.
Sensing Li Wei enter,
Lancelot turned to look at Li Wei.
Li Wei t his gaze for two seconds before looking away.
It wasn’t that Lancelot’s gaze was too aggressive.
On the contrary, his eyes were like the warm sun, making one want to lose themselves within them.
Li Wei even felt as if his innermost thoughts were being seen through.
He instinctively averted his gaze.
’If I look at him for too long, I feel like he’ll see right through .’
’Although, he probably saw through at a glance anyway.’
Lancelot said, "May I see your Holy Emblem?"
His voice was gentle yet majestic, impossible to defy.
Li Wei took out the Holy Emblem of Light and handed it to Lancelot.
Lancelot examined the Holy Emblem of Light, trying to find any clues related to its owner.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
The Holy Emblem of Light only bore the faint traces of Li Wei’s aura.
He asked, "Who gave you this Holy Emblem?"
Li Wei replied, "My master."
"What is your master’s na?"
"Torresta."
Lancelot returned the Holy Emblem of Light to Li Wei, a flicker of doubt in his heart.
He had never heard the na Torresta.
Among all the people who had ever received a Holy Emblem of Light, there was no one nad Torresta.
But this Holy Emblem of Light was genuine.
And it had been issued by a Saintess.
It even carried the Saintess’s blessing.
It was just that ordinary people couldn’t perceive it.
Lancelot looked at Li Wei and asked, "What business do you have with ?"
Li Wei said, "I’m afflicted by the Evil God Curse. My master told to seek help from the Divine Hall of Light."
"The Evil God Curse?"
Lancelot glanced at Li Wei in surprise.
’If there was a curse, I should have noticed it the mont Li Wei appeared before .’
Lancelot focused his senses. A mont later, he reacted.
"A very well-hidden curse. Purifying it would require so effort."
Lancelot did not agree to help Li Wei purify it.
The reason was simple. Although Li Wei ca bearing the Holy Emblem of Light, he was not its owner.
If the owner themselves had co, Lancelot would naturally have obliged them.
Granting Li Wei an audience was already showing great respect to the Holy Emblem of Light.
Seeing that Lancelot had a way to resolve the curse, Li Wei breathed a small sigh of relief.
’As long as there’s a way.’
’Now I just have to convince Lancelot to help .’
Li Wei asked, "Grand Archbishop, you’ve been stationed in Storm City for thirty-six years, haven’t you?"
Lancelot looked at him strangely. "That’s right. Is there a problem?"
"Don’t you wish to advance further?"
Hearing this, Lancelot almost laughed out loud.
’A kid who’s still wet behind the ears cos to with this kind of talk? It’s utterly laughable.’
He said with amusent, "And you have a way?"
If it weren’t for the Holy Emblem of Light, he would have thrown Li Wei out already.
He didn’t have ti to joke around with him.
Li Wei said, "I do. I have a very important piece of information."
Lancelot chuckled internally but kept a straight face. "What information?"
"Information about a Legendary Witch Lich."
The mont Li Wei’s words fell,
Lancelot’s perpetually calm expression wavered.
He stared at Li Wei. "A Legendary Witch Lich?"
Li Wei said, "There is a Legendary Witch Lich in the Ancient Battlefield preparing to unleash an Undead Calamity."
Lancelot suddenly felt it was ridiculous that he would even entertain his words.
"What proof do you have?"
Li Wei took out the Stone Coffin Lid.
The instant the Stone Coffin Lid appeared, Lancelot’s expression changed completely.
He imdiately sensed the Witch Lich’s aura on the Stone Coffin Lid.
With a wave of his hand, Lancelot beckoned the Stone Coffin Lid into his grasp.
After examining it for a mont, he asked, "How did you get this?"
Li Wei said, "I found it in a Secret Realm within the Elental Tower."
"You just ’found’ a Witch Lich’s Life Box?"
Lancelot was skeptical of Li Wei’s words.
However, he could sense that Li Wei wasn’t lying.
Lancelot found it incomprehensible.
’What kind of Legendary Witch Lich loses their own Life Box?’
’And has it picked up by a re Tier Three Mage?’
’If word of this got out, the other Witch Liches would laugh them to death.’
Lancelot pondered for a mont, then said, "This doesn’t prove what you’re saying. If you were able to find the Life Box, that Legendary Witch Lich is most likely already dead."
Li Wei said, "They’re not dead."
Lancelot stared at Li Wei, and Li Wei t his gaze.
This ti, it was Lancelot who looked away first.
A storm raged in his heart. ’What the hell...!’
’Everything Li Wei said is actually true.’
Lancelot didn’t doubt his own abilities.
So, no matter how unbelievable or incomprehensible it seed, what Li Wei said was the truth.
He really had to give serious consideration to Li Wei’s words.
A Legendary Witch Lich preparing to unleash an Undead Calamity—this was astounding news.
If this news reached Central Earth, it would be a thunderclap.
Lancelot looked at Li Wei and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
Li Wei replied, "No one. Just you and ."
Lancelot asked, "How do you know all this?"
Li Wei explained, "The Legendary Witch Lich’s Life Box was inadvertently sealed by the Elental Tower in a certain Secret Realm."
"They were never sure of its location and were afraid of making a rash move that would alert the Elental Tower and arouse its suspicion. It wasn’t until this lid from the Life Box erged that the Legendary Witch Lich finally found a chance to retrieve it."
"The person who accidentally saw the Life Box——will likely beco the Legendary Witch Lich’s target."
"I’m the person who ca closest to the Life Box. They will definitely want to use to find it."
"If you can prevent an Undead Calamity and slay a Legendary Witch Lich, I imagine the Grand Archbishop would also have an opportunity to advance further."
"In exchange for purifying my curse, I am willing to be the bait."
Lancelot gave him a deep look.
’What the hell...’
’How is everything this guy says true?’
It was only when he offered to be bait that Lancelot sensed he was lying.
Lancelot could understand that part, though.
After all, they were dealing with a Legendary Witch Lich. A Tier Three Mage like him would be turned to dust in an instant if he got involved.
Lancelot deliberated for a long ti before saying, "For now, stay here at the Divine Hall of Light. I will have soone investigate the movents of the Undead in the Ancient Battlefield to see if what you say is true."
Li Wei nodded. "Mm, alright."
Things having reached this point, Li Wei knew Lancelot was tempted.
Even if it wasn’t for the sake of his own advancent,
as the Grand Archbishop of the Divine Hall of Light in Storm City, he had an undeniable responsibility.
As long as the Legendary Witch Lich’s existence was confird, Lancelot would owe him a favor.
Helping him purify the curse would then be a simple matter.
A Priest arranged for Li Wei’s accommodations within the Divine Hall of Light.
Li Wei stood by the window and looked outside. The sky was a vast azure.
He had a faint premonition that a storm was about to break.
He had felt it the mont he carried the Dragon Heart out of the Bone Palace.
