Chapter 495: Being Considerate to a Father and Loyal to a Disciple
“Master!”
When lissa saw Vincent, she imdiately stood up respectfully and had her head down. She looked like a guilty child who had just done sothing wrong.
When Sophia saw Vincent, her eyes flashed with fear, but she did not retreat. Instead, she walked quickly toward lissa. She said firmly, “I was trying to persuade her but her respect for you was beyond my imagination. She demonstrated loyalty and sincerity from the start! If you want soone to punish, co at , she has nothing to do with it!”
Before Vincent could say anything, lissa grabbed Sophia’s shoulder and pushed her aside.
lissa used all her strength to push her. This resulted in Sophia being pushed to the corner of the wall and she fell heavily to the ground.
lissa said sincerely, “Master, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have kept this sinner by my side. I had been letting her help with my plans which made her arrogant. So, please punish instead, master!”
Vincent shook his head, turned around, and closed the door of the secret chamber behind him. He then sat down and said, “There is still so ti before Horace wakes up so we have to keep our voices low. lissa, you don’t have to admit your mistake to because you didn’t do anything wrong! When you were City Lord, there’s already a montum of revival in Serene Spring City, and every law you’ve issued has had no issues. Even if so of the opinions were from Sophia, they still influenced you in so way. She’s ready to turn over a new leaf and these are all your achievents. How can I punish you for that?”
After hearing Vincent’s words, lissa said firmly, “But master, she said those words because I didn’t discipline her well enough. It’s all my fault!”
After hearing that, Vincent smiled helplessly. He patted the seat beside him and said, “You are still worried that I will punish Sophia. If you have anything to say, sit down and say it. I won’t make things difficult for anyone!”
lissa nodded lightly and quickly sat beside Vincent.
Vincent’s gaze then fell on Sophia. He asked with a smile, “Sophia, you used to depend on n to live but now you are relying on won. How do you feel about it?”
Sophia got up and held her shoulders that were about to fall apart. She sighed softly and said, “It feels very good! Even though I felt that I was being despised by her, I think I can still gain her respect eventually. At least, I am not being treated like a toy!”
Vincent smiled and said, “So, you want to persuade lissa to take the initiative to ask for so benefits. Even if those benefits may not improve her status, it may improve her strength.”
Sophia nodded and said, “That’s right! As her disciple, she listens to your words and doesn’t dare to slack off even a little. As her master, shouldn’t you help her more?
lissa shouted angrily, “Sophia!” She then glared at Sophia as if she was trying to stop her from talking.
Vincent was not angry. He raised a finger and tapped on the edge of the handrail. He said in a deep voice, “lissa is my disciple but what she is doing now is part of her responsibility as City Lord. At the sa ti, it is what she should do as a mber of the Elf Race! If she cos to for credit because of these rits, then it shows that my judgnt was poor for selecting her as my disciple. Of course, if I, as her master, turn a blind eye to lissa’s rits, it would show that I am an irresponsible master. However, if you stand up for lissa now, it would be an insult to the mutual trust between a master and disciple. Are you aware of this mistake?”
After hearing this, Sophia could only lower her head and said softly, “I am wrong!”
Vincent nodded and said, “Good! Since you’ve admitted that it was your mistake, you must be punished. You must accept the punishnt willingly and take the initiative to ask for punishnt.”
Sophia raised her head slightly. She could not bear to look at lissa and said softly, “I’m willing to be punished!”
lissa could not bear to see it. She turned to Vincent and said, “Master, please punish too. I’m also responsible for this matter!”
Vincent shook his head and said, “Don’t say anything yet. I’ll be in charge of the punishnt!”
After hearing that, lissa could only keep her mouth shut. At the sa ti, she looked at Sophia with a worried look.
Sophia then withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes. She was ready to receive any painful punishnt.
Vincent cleared his throat and said, “You think you’re smart but you’re talking nonsense and disturbing our master-disciple relationship. That is a heinous cri! I’ll punish you to stay by lissa’s side and be her shadow. You can only help her make plans but you can’t get any status. Are you willing to receive this punishnt?”
After hearing that, Sophia raised her head and looked at Vincent in surprise. She nodded and said without hesitation, “Yes, I’m willing!”
lissa looked at Vincent in a confused manner. Her eyes were full of joy.
Vincent smiled at lissa and said, “I’m your master. I know that you have no family and that you only have her to talk to. Even if Sophia has made a great contribution, she should still be punished even if the punishnt may be considered soft. Nonetheless, she was right. You’ve done a lot when Horace was in war against the demons. So, I want to tell you that I want to help you to beco a god of the elves!”
lissa opened her mouth slightly. She could not hide her surprise. She stamred, “You want to beco a god too? Do I have the right to do that?”
Vincent nodded and said solemnly, “Of course you do! Not only do you have the qualifications to beco a god, but you have also made a lot of contributions. I have the sa expectations for both you and Dave. You will have to shoulder more important responsibilities for the elf race in the future, so you must beco a god too!”
After hearing that, lissa felt happy and excited.
She felt excited because she had obtained the opportunity to beco a god.
She felt happy because she had received Vincent’s approval. That was far more important than her becoming a god!
When Sophia noticed that lissa had the opportunity to beco a god, she could not help but feel happy for her.
Vincent quickly said, “Of course, don’t be happy too early. Your situation is different from the others. It is more troubleso to make you a god so you must work hard and figure out a way for to do so!”
lissa asked with a blank look, “Why is my situation different from the others?”
Vincent looked at lissa’s pitch-black eyes and he said softly, “Horace was originally a Wood Elf, so he was able to contain the Wood Elf’s divine spark. I was also able to contain the Fire Elf’s divine spark as I had mastered the law of fire! It was because of this reason that I did not respond to you and Dave’s prayers or let you beco my believers. As Dave was originally a Black Elf, he could inherit the Black Elf’s divine spark in the future. However, as you are a Dark Elf, you need to change your faith imdiately. You also can not beco my believer. I wonder if you can do it?”
After hearing that, lissa said with so hesitation, “This is really not easy to do. The faith of the Elf Race must co from the heart. The one I respect the most in my heart is you, master. It is very difficult for to change my faith!”
Vincent thought for a mont and said, “Then, we might as well try to change your cognition so that you can change your faith!”
lissa asked with a puzzled face, “How do we do that?”
Vincent stood up and walked to the center of the room. A light suddenly shone behind him. The four divine sparks that symbolized thunder, water, light, and earth instantly floated behind him, emitting a strong and shocking aura.
“Now, other than the wood divine spark and black divine spark, all the other divine sparks are with . No matter which divine spark you pray to, it’s the sa as praying to . That would in turn weaken the knowledge about in your heart and enable you to change your faith to another elental divine spark.”
lissa had never thought of such a thod because it was equivalent to finding loopholes in her own faith. It was an act of blasphemy!
However, with Vincent’s encouragent, lissa could only nod and say, “I’ll give it a try! If I can’t succeed, then let be a Fire Elf!”
Vincent put away all his divine sparks and turned to Sophia. He said, “You have to encourage her more and don’t let her be so insecure all the ti. Make her more confident!”
Sophia quickly nodded and said, “Yes!”
lissa frowned and pondered as she stood up. She asked Vincent, “Master, if I want to convert my faith, which elent should I convert to?”
Vincent did not think and imdiately asked, “Which type of elves have the least number of believers and the lowest strength in Serene Spring City and Devil Fla City?”
lissa was stunned as she did not know the answer to that question. She only knew the situation in Serene Spring City. As for Devil Fla City, she knew nothing about it.
At that mont, the door of the secret chamber suddenly opened. Horace, whose entire body was emitting a jade-green light, strode out with a sense of gratitude on his face. He said to Vincent, “Right now, in Serene Spring City and Devil Fla City, the number of Light Elves is the smallest, and there are no Light Elves who have reached level 40. There are a small number of powerful Light Elves staying at Tias Mountains but they are not willing to cooperate with us!”
Vincent looked at Horace, who had successfully beco a god and had reached level 45. He nodded with a smile and said, “Well, since there aren’t any experts among the Light Elves that are working with us, then lissa, you can try to change into a Light Elf! When the ti cos, I’ll help you contain the Light Elf’s divine spark!”
lissa nodded with a serious look on her face. She said, “Yes, master! I will not let you down!”
After that, lissa winked at Sophia and the two quickly slipped out of the room. They then tried to find a way to change their faith.
Horace then walked up to Vincent and said gratefully, “Thank you for giving such an opportunity. From now on, everyone in the Elf Race, including the gods, will forever rember your greatness and honor your existence as one above the gods!”
