"It is an honor to meet you, Councilwoman Talinda."
Lis bowed to the lady before him.
Yes, Third Speaker Talinda Akansas was the only female among the three council members.
Yet her strength had impressed everyone.
"No need for formalities, Lis."
Talinda smiled at Lis, her gaze filled with gentle warmth, as if facing a long-lost friend.
She pointed to a seat to invite Lis to sit down, then sat across from him, smiling as she said:
"You are Stephens' disciple. Your mentor has bragged about you quite a bit to me."
"But that's understandable, if I had a disciple like you, I'd surely do the same as Stephens."
Lis smiled and nodded, without responding.
Although Talinda seemed quite young, she had become the third council member.
"The little elves all like you, is that a trait of the World Tree Favored?"
Talinda smiled and raised her hand, as the little elves happily landed on her fingers.
"I really didn't expect that the fourth World Tree Favored to appear would be a mage."
