If Daphne had really been taken by those people, it would have been troublesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Daphne also nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lived in Elf Land for so long and had seldom interacted with other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even within Jade City, many Humans’ gazes towards her would make Daphne uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lis wasn’t like that, perhaps because he had saved Daphne, which made her feel like he wasn’t harboring bad intentions towards her, unlike some Humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lis’s display of extensive knowledge during their conversations after he rescued her intrigued Daphne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Human was not only handsome and spoke eloquently, but she also really liked him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lis did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t have anything else to do at the moment, and the Legendary Witch Demon Ring wasn’t something he could acquire in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jade City, Lis indeed had some plans, but those tasks had to wait until after the affairs at the Elf Royal Court were taken care of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the most important thing for him was the Elf Royal Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, under Cendelle’s guidance, the group arrived at a place called the Oak Tree Tavern, which was located some distance away from the bustling commercial streets, adding a bit more tranquility to the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing open the wooden door to enter, a refreshing fragrance of alcohol mixed with floral scents greeted them. Hanging from the ceiling were chandeliers made of vines, diffusing a soft and warm light. The walls were adorned with various exotic and beautiful Elfish paintings and ancient musical instruments, seemingly narrating the legendary stories of the Elf World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern was furnished with comfortable seating and soft jade-colored carpets embroidered with flowers and vines motifs, as if encapsulating the vitality of the entire forest within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within this Elf Tavern, time seemed to slow down, and music played softly as Lis relished the rare serenity and harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cendelle sat Lis and Daphne down at a spot by the tavern and said with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is where I like to come. I hope you’ll enjoy it too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is indeed a very nice place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis nodded and said. At this moment, there weren’t many people in the tavern, and besides Lis, there were no customers other than Elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern’s decorations were also very exquisite; the soft lighting and music seemed to be the effects of special Magic Items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne, on the other hand, was quite curious and looked around, touching everything she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, the Elf Servant brought the dishes Cendelle had ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colorful plate of fruits and vegetables was a specialty of the Elf Forest, with the exceptionally fresh and tasty fruits and vegetables cut into small pieces, rich in color, and even more flavorful with the addition of a sauce made from honey, lemon juice, and other ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various exquisite pastries were also not to be missed. These pastries, hand-crafted by Elf bakers, came in different shapes—some like delicate flowers, others like tiny mushrooms. They were all made from natural ingredients like honey, nuts, and fruit spreads, offering a rich variety of flavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Elf Forest does not produce wheat, these flour-based pastries are one of the Elves’ favorite delicacies, making wheat a common commodity carried by the merchants who travel to and from the Elf Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the fruit and vegetable platter and pastries, the Elf Tavern also had other Elf-style (vegetarian) dishes that were indeed tasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis from his previous life in the game was already familiar with the food of the Elf Clan, so he wasn’t too surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lis was pleasantly surprised by the green fruit wine of the Elf Tavern. This wine, brewed from unique fruits found in the forest, had a jade-like green color, clear and translucent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright wine in the glass gently swayed, emitting a faint aroma of fruits and alcohol that was intoxicating.\u003C\u002Fp>",955,"2026-06-03T10:58:36.197Z","2026-06-03T10:58:42.238Z",1,"novelbin.me","f332ba942fe718035c3b39577415e7308a525cc7608f5c8d4293a93af80c8904","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-660","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-658",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
