I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 866 - 509: Roasting the Sand Worm King's Flesh_2

Lis reached into the Sand Worm King's head, delving into the sticky fluid, and after a moment's

Witnessing Lis' power, Blais only wanted to forge good relations with him.

Truthfully, having lived in the Western Desert, Blais had traveled to many parts of the desert.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have built such a large caravan, daring to traverse the desert to trade with other regions.

From Lis's words, he seemed to be quite familiar with this vast desert, yet Blais had never heard of Lis' name.

Perhaps he was a newly emerged strongman, or maybe Lis had always been very low-key.

"No need,"

Lis replied without looking up, focusing on grilling the meat.

"I will leave once we reach Turte Oasis."

"I don't need those rewards. Consider it gratitude for taking me along."

"This..."

Blais felt a bit regretful. He wanted to pay Lis for his help.

Though avoiding a significant expense, it equated to Lis paying back the previous favor.

Comparatively, Lis' favor was more valuable.

If Lis was as young as he seemed, Blais believed that one day he would hear of Lis becoming a Legendary Crown.

The Western Desert, unlike other regions of the Fanor Continent, had no shortage of Legendary Crowns. Some oases or city-states were even ruled by legendary strongmen.

For some reason, Blais had this feeling.

A future legend's favor was far more valuable than an entire caravan of goods!

Lis looked at Blais and said with a smile:

"Alright, before we reach Turte Oasis, let Duke follow me."

"How much he learns is up to him."

"Thank you for your generosity."

Blais nodded in agreement.

Although reluctant, he had no intention of refusing.

Of course, retaining favor was wonderful, but he had neither the power nor the status to oppose Lis' decision.

Otherwise, he would risk offending the person in front of him.

Though Blais was also of Golden Rank, he behaved humbly before Lis.

Having said that, Lis beckoned Duke over.

Duke, having been tempted by the scent of sandworm meat, was drooling but obediently waited by the side.

Seeing Lis calling, he eagerly ran over.

Lis placed the freshly grilled sandworm meat on a plate and handed it to Duke, smiling:

"You did well earlier. This is your reward."

"Thank you, Mr. Lis!"

Eager but aware of Uncle Blais' presence, Duke ate solemnly, savoring each bite.

"Delicious!"

As soon as the sandworm meat entered his mouth, Duke's eyes widened.

This was far better than anything made by the City Lord's chefs!

He thought of having his dad fire all those chefs back home!

"For now, stay with me, and I'll teach you some things..."

Before he could finish, Lis frowned slightly but then relaxed.

The brass ring on his right hand suddenly flashed with a mysterious light.
