Chapter 290 Son Of That Man
There were many visitors to the Temple of Light.
Besides the servants of Light, devout believers and emissaries of other power centers were present. They were either watching the statue of God of Light or discussing in a low voice.
William did not attract any attention. He followed the other people and watched the statue of the God of Light in reverence.
The God of Light held a sword in his right hand while bracing a shield using his left hand.
The sword and shield emitted white light, and the eyes of the God exuded a stern authority.
The God was not looking downwards. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the sky…
The top of the Temple of Light was not open-aired. Instead, there was a ceiling with a mural painting that depicted the blue sky with white clouds.
William surveyed the painting, but he did not find it interesting. So, he leisurely strolled in the temple.
He ignored the offerings to the God of Light and the storage rooms. Even though they were available for viewing, he was not interested.
Because he could not stop himself from pilfering!
After the temples of the mystical era had been fully excavated, the Temples of Light on the nine continents had been duplicated, referencing the historic temples.
William did not want to ogle at the mountains of treasure and return empty-handed.
“I can’t reveal the Left Hand of the Thunder God here. Otherwise, I’ll be killed.” William did not want to be reckless. He caressed his glove as he detoured the statue and left the temple by the backdoor.
A back courtyard greeted him. There was a bridge built over the flowing water and many shimmering Trees of Light.
The visitors had gathered in groups of three to five as they stood in front of Trees of Light, admiring the beauty of the blossoming flowers and discussing country affairs.
Perhaps, their words could change the destiny of a country.
Without any doubt, they were the powerful leaders of the large continent.
Besides the devout believers who were allowed entry to the temple, only high-ranking officials and prominent leaders of the power centers were allowed to come in.
William pretended to pass by and admire the surrounding scenery as he strolled from crowd to crowd.
But he did not speak a word.
His Elven ears should not attract too much attention.
However, his tall build, peerless appeal, and 255 points of charm attracted the attention of both men and women!
The nearby bystanders had a good impression of William.
Oh!
How should it be said?
William’s appearance was like an exquisite art. His every movement was graceful and rhythmic. It was definitely more interesting than the Trees of Light…
For women, the look of their Prince Charming had always been hazy!
But when William appeared, they knew that he was the man they had been looking for!
Race restrictions and being strangers were no longer valid issues.
Young ladies who accompanied their elders intentionally crossed William’s path so that they could have a serendipitous encounter.
Unfortunately, William only flashed a casual smile and detoured from the ladies while continuing to admire the scenery…
They would never find out that underneath that pretty face, William was extremely exhilarated.
“Oh my gosh, they have great impressions of me. Oh my god, they are powerful leaders. Even if I don’t obtain legendary equipment, it’s still highly profitable for me.”
“I’m the King of Charm.” William chuckled to himself that his endowment was too awesome.
William would make enormous benefits that would be crucial for his future development.
The people who were curious about the stranger, William, were powerful and Advanced professionals.
They immediately recognized him as a teenage Elf. Many people curiously asked, “Does anyone know him? Is he a Blackleaf Elf?”
“It’s surprising to know that the Temple of Light and the Blackleaf Elves have a good relationship…”
A young lady who was acting coquettish behind an elderly Human noble, glanced at William. The elderly Human lightly coughed before he said, “Does anyone know him? I don’t think he’s a Blackleaf Elven prince. Otherwise, my granddaughter’s hopes will be dashed.”
“It’s a real coincidence. He’s a prince,” a Light element mage of the Temple of Light replied while shrugging. He had recognized William.
The elderly Human sighed and turned to look at his granddaughter. “You’ve heard the man. He’s a Blackleaf Elven prince. You don’t stand a chance.”
The young lady behind the elderly Human pouted. She lowered her head as her eyes tried to look away. She wanted to forget about William’s peerless looks.
The Light element mage smiled gently and said, “Not really. He’s not the pureblood prince of the Blackleaf Elves.”
The elderly Human raised his brow. The mage’s words had given him an idea.
The young lady behind the elderly Human raised her brows too. Her hopes were raised once again.
At the same time, the other bystanders who were in discussion recognized William’s identity.
He was the Lord of the City of Dawn.
The only neutral lord in the nine continents who repulsed the first Darkness invasion.
The Blackleaf Elven prince!
The son of that man!
Many young visitors became curious about William.
They did not look down on him because he was a small neutral lord.
Because William’s fame had spread throughout the nine continents.
William’s status was not lower than them.
Nobody would think that William was an opportunist who occupied the City of Dawn.
The young visitors present in the temple were not fools. They had been brought here to gain experience and not to embarrass themselves…
However, some pureblood Elves would feel uncomfortable with William’s half Elven bloodline.
However, that did not include Humans.
Some old folks still remembered William’s father.
He had become famous within a short period of time, but he remained as a normal man due to love.
He got married and had a son.
But that did not stop him from having a lofty ambition.
Finally, he left his family for a hopeless future.
He went to a place that had no perceivable future for a legendary professional.
No news came from that desolate place.
Sages were prohibited from entering the place while legendary professionals were barred from leaving.
Only if he could become a true sage, would he be able to return to the large continent.
He had left for many years.
Many people thought that he was already dead.
But nobody expected his son to be so outstanding.
After his son had taken over his rundown territory, he gradually developed it with the help of 500 Elves…
William also became the only victor in the small scale Darkness invasion.
“Gosh, his development is quite similar to his father. I feel that he will be achieving outstanding feats, and his reputation will spread far and wide.”
“I hope he’s not a troublemaker like his father.”
Many people frowned when they recalled William’s troublemaking father.
But William’s graceful demeanor suggested that he had inherited the princess’ temperament.
Many prominent leaders knew about William, but they had no intention to interact with him.
Because William was not qualified to join their circle.
Unless his father returned…
However, they were not qualified to join his father’s circle…
Hence, many leaders sent their grandchildren to invite William into their own circles!
Regardless of whether William’s father could return alive, it was still worthwhile for their grandchildren to get to know William.
