Chapter 412 The Elf Elder and the Secret of the Royal Court
Arcott City, Elf Station,
Li Si looked at the old Elf who walked in, a little curious.
He was wearing a white-gold robe. The robe was like moonlight pouring down. It was made of the best special materials and had been enchanted with high-level enchantments. It was already equivalent to a high-level magic equipment. .
The face of the old elf is covered with wrinkles. Those wrinkles are deeply carved on his face, like the bark of an ancient tree, recording the vicissitudes of time. His long blond hair is delicately styled and draped behind him. , the bright golden eyes are full of traces left by the years.
Elves are long-lived species. Elves with this appearance have spent countless years and are about to reach the end of their lives.
Generally, elves of this age will stay in the depths of the Elf Forest, quietly waiting for the end to come, waiting for their souls to ascend to the kingdom of elves and gods.
And this person The old elf who walked in, although he was old, his steps were still steady, and he was surrounded by deep magical pressure.
Turns out that he is also a gold-level mage, and his strength is not weak, although he is not as powerful as Xander Valdivia whom he met before.
Li Si knew it well and stood aside without making a sound.
When Cecile saw the old elf walking in, he quickly stood up and bowed.
"Elder, sir!"
The old elf also saw Cecil, frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy, but still said:
"You are Cecil Er Arce, I didn’t expect you to come here quite quickly.”
Nodding towards Cecile, the old elf walked to the armchair and prepared to sit down.
At this time, the old elf noticed Lis behind Cecil and was stunned for a moment.
"This is"
The old elf was a little unsure and asked hesitantly in an old voice.
“This is Lord Lis Kane, who protected me all the way from Nelin City.”
As if thinking of something, Cecil quickly added:< br>
"Lord Li Si once helped an elf, and thus received the protection of the goddess Fenriya."
"So that's it."
The old elf's expression became serious, and with his left hand He clenched his fists on his chest and bowed slightly towards Li Si.
"Your Excellency Li Si, it is an honor to see you here."
"May the glory of the goddess Fenriya always protect your future!"
"You're welcome."
Li Si was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile.
“I don’t know what to call you?”
“I am Riccardo Elicer, welcome to be here as a guest.”
Riccardo looked at Li Si said, a smile appearing on his always stern old face.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the three of them sat down on the chairs and enjoyed the exquisite pastries that had been prepared.
Li Si noticed Riccardo’s attitude towards him and made predictions in his mind.
There is no doubt that the Riccardo in front of him is an important member of the Ilisel Sun Elf family, a Sun Elf with pure blood.
From Cecil's previous experience and Riccardo's attitude when he came in just now, it can be seen that the sun elves of the Elisir family seem to be relatively old-fashioned, a bit like those old antiques among human nobles.
For this reason, although it has been a long time since the incident, their attitude towards Cecile is still not very good.
But at the same time, because they respected and believed in the elven gods, their attitude towards Li Si, who was protected by the elven goddess, was indeed quite good.
I have to say that the contrast is somewhat obvious.
Even Li Si didn't expect this situation to happen, but he didn't mind. After all, it was also good for him, and he might be able to get more information about the Elf King's Court.
“Elder Riccardo, I don’t know why you asked me to come to Arcot City?”
After Cecil sat down, he asked Riccardo.
This is what she is wondering about. What happened to make the Sun Elf family Ilisel so aggressive.
I learned from the moon elf Daphne that I met by chance that even the elf king's court Drono City was closed, which made Cecile feel uneasy.
Especially when she was attacked by the gold-level assassin, the fear in Cecil's heart grew stronger.
It was only because Li Si had been by her side that she felt at ease.
Riccardo did not answer directly, but looked at Li Si with some hesitation.
This is a secret belonging to their Ilisel family and even the Elven Court. Even if Lis was recognized by the goddess Fenriya, he would not feel comfortable telling Lis these secrets.
Li Si noticed Riccardo's expression. If it was about other matters, he might have left directly, but this was not an option.
This may be quite closely related to the destruction of the Elven Court. He cannot miss the opportunity to get follow-up information from Riccardo.
“I heard from Cecil that someone would be attacking the Sun Elves. This time when we were passing through the Elf Forest, we also encountered a gold-level assassin who was about to assassinate Cecil, but I Stopped it.”
“There is actually a gold-level assassin planning to assassinate Cecile?”
Riccardo's expression changed and he could no longer care about other things. He quickly looked at Cecile:
"You were attacked by someone. Who attacked you?"
Cecile was a little nervous and looked at Li Si without saying anything.
"No, that gold-level assassin was killed by me, and he didn't say anything before he died."
"Is that so?"
When Riccardo heard this, his face became gloomy, as if he had remembered something important.
"Your Excellency Li Si, did you notice anything unusual at that time?"
After pondering for a moment, Riccardo looked at Li Si and asked.
"Forgive me for the offense, because this matter is really important to our Elisir family?"
"Can you let me know conveniently why you care so much about this matter? ”
"Why on earth did those people attack Cecile? Has the same thing happened before?"
Faced with Li Si's inquiry, Riccardo was silent for a moment, seeming to be hesitating whether to tell Li Si these secrets. .
Finally, Riccardo held his right hand tightly, his wrinkled face full of seriousness.
"Your Excellency Li Si, you are a person recognized by the goddess Fenriya, and you have also intervened in Cecil's affairs."
"I will no longer hide these secrets from you. But these secrets are related to the safety of the Elisir family. I hope you will not tell other people these secrets after listening to them.”
Seeing Riccardo's serious expression, Li Si didn't pay attention and nodded to make a commitment.
Riccardo sighed and leaned back on the wicker chair. He was silent for a while and said as if it was difficult to start:
"That was half a year ago. A shocking case occurred in the Elven Court.”
“A member of the Elisir family disappeared, and there was no news about it for more than ten days. At first, no one paid attention to it, until someone later went to visit the person. When I arrived, I found him dead at home.”
“There was something wrong with the elf’s death?”
Li Si nodded and asked softly.
“Yes.”
Riccardo looked ugly and continued:
“When the elf was discovered, his face was horrified, as if he was facing something extreme. Horrible thing, at the same time the body shriveled up and all the blood in the body disappeared."
"All the blood disappeared"
Li Si murmured to himself, thinking of the [Original Blood Crystal] he got from the gold-level assassin's storage ring. It seemed that the same force should have taken action, and the target was the blood in the bodies of the sun elves.
"What do you mean, the same thing happened again later?"
"Yes."
Riccardo nodded and said with a gloomy face:
“After all, it was the death of a Sun Elf, and the cause of death was unclear. Of course, the Elf King’s Court had to investigate it carefully at that time.”
"But no matter what, we haven't found the person who did it, and we haven't found any clues."
Riccardo had a frustrated look on his face, and Li Si also noticed it.
However, the Ilisel family, as the ones who control the Elf Royal Court, are naturally the most powerful force in the city. In the Elf Royal Court, there are people who dare to attack the sun elves of the Ilisel family to extract blood. The face of the Elisir family was completely trampled under their feet.
"After that incident, the Pompeii patriarch summoned most of the elf royal court to search, but in the end they returned without success."
The elf elder in front of him said helplessly. One of the participants was also angry about this.
Everyone in the Ilisel family is an extremely precious being. The sun elves are equivalent to the high-ranking royal family in the Elf Kingdom. Who would have thought that there would be such a bold person who would take action against the people of the Ilisel family.
However, the Elisir family has no solution yet. No matter what means they use, they have not found any clues.
Even if the legendary powerhouse takes action, there will be no results, as if the elf committed suicide. "Just one month later, everyone in the Elven Court was about to give up, and a similar case unexpectedly appeared."
"It was also a member of the Ilisel family. Junior, when he was found, he was hung on a big tree beside the road to the Elf King's Court. Likewise, all the blood in his body disappeared."
"After that, the same thing happened many times, and the person who did it was never caught."
"Did the person who attacked the Sun Elves do it for the blood of the Sun Elves?"
< br>Listening to Riccardo's description, Li Si nodded.
If this is the case, then no wonder the Ilisel family reacted so exaggeratedly.
Although the Ilisel family is a sun elf family, due to the special nature of their bloodline, there are not many members in the entire family, and they are even considered rare.
The mysterious deaths of many sun elves were simply a provocation to the Ilisel family, and also greatly affected the strength and future of the Ilisel family.
“I don’t know.”
Riccardo’s face didn’t look good, but he still answered.
“If someone really wants to get the Sun Elf bloodline of the Ilisel family, there is no need to kill so many people.”
“What’s more, isn’t he afraid of being discovered by us! ”
Riccardo said angrily, his face turned red unlike an old man.
It seems that the occurrence of this series of attacks has indeed made the Elisir family very angry.
There have been cases in the past where outsiders wanted to acquire Sun Elf blood. This is not unusual in the history of the Elf Kingdom.
Not only the alien races, but even the interior of the Elf Kingdom is not monolithic. There are also people who covet the legendary Sun Elf bloodline.
For this reason, the Elisir family was actually not very panicked when they discovered the first incident, but as the situation worsened uncontrollably, they eventually became highly nervous.
The most important thing is that the mastermind behind the incident has never been found, which gives the Elisser family a huge headache.
This is a very unmagical thing. In the Elven Court, the headquarters of the Ilisel family, where there are also legendary powerhouses, people were allowed to kill several sun elves openly. No trace was found.
This was simply unthinkable before.
"Then why do you appear here and ask Cecile to come here as well?"
Li Si asked next, but he already had a rough estimate in his mind.
"Because we also received a summons later that the Sun Elf whose family was traveling abroad was also killed and deprived of his bloodline."
"Although that Sun Elf is young, he also has gold-level strength."< br>
“If he has no power to resist, then everyone outside the family will be in an unsafe situation.”
Riccardo said in a deep voice, and then looked at Cecile.
"Cecile, I understand your affairs very clearly. Putting aside the past rights and wrongs for now, the family cannot tolerate any more members being killed by others."
"I asked you to come here for your safety. After all, it is too dangerous for you to be alone in Nelin City. The family is preparing to recall all members who are outside and return to the Elf King's Court."
"The family's The strength has been dispersed to the traveling members. I originally thought that your appearance was different from that of the sun elves, and the manpower was quite tight, so I couldn't arrange for a manpower escort for you."
"But I didn't expect that someone would attack you on the way. You, this is my mistake."
As he spoke, Riccardo took out an emerald green leaf with a little dew on it shining with dreamy light.
As soon as this young leaf appeared in the room, vitality instantly filled the entire room. A faint natural breath spread, and Li Si felt that his body relaxed a little.
Feeling the vigorous vitality and faint pressure on the young leaves, Li Si was a little speechless.
Isn’t this really what he thought?
On the side, Cecile was stunned. She felt that her entire body was responding to the power fluctuations on the young leaves.
Before Cecile could react, Riccardo handed her the young leaves in his hand.
“This is a talisman made by Lord Nemancha [Forest Prayer], which has legendary level of protective power.”
"You have to keep it by your side all the time, understand?"
"Isn't this a little too precious?"
Cecile was caught off guard when she saw the jasper-like young leaf. The ground shook his head.
In her impression, the people in the Elisir family were all stubborn old stubborns who strongly opposed the union of his father and mother, and their attitude towards her was not much better.
Some people even think that her existence has tarnished the Sun Elf bloodline of the Ilisel family.
Although Elder Riccardo's attitude in front of her was a bit stiff, he was already much better. What's more, he taught her such a legendary prop.
This made Cecile unacceptable for a while.
Li Si is not surprised. Although legendary level props are precious, they are not unobtainable for the legendary Ilyseer family.
The most important thing is that the situation has now deteriorated to an extent that the Elisir family cannot bear. The death of any family member is an extremely painful loss.
Even Cecile is the same.
That's why they pay such a price.
Riccardo put the young leaves directly into Cecile's hands, turned to look at Lis, and said sincerely:
"Your Excellency Lis, after hearing what I said, you should understand that Eli is now How seriously does the Seer family take this matter?"
"This is related to the life and death of the family!"
"And now, you are the only one who has seen and fought against the attacker. On behalf of the Elisser family, I would definitely like to ask you, can you tell me the information about that person?”
Li Si looked at Riccardo who bowed slightly after finishing speaking, and felt a little emotional in his heart.
To be honest, even if he was protected by the elf goddess Fenriya, he would not let an elder with a high position in the elf king's court act like this.
This shows how embarrassed the Elisir family has been forced to be now.
"I don't know much else, but what is certain is that the attacker is a human."
"Human?"
Riccardo furrowed his sparse eyebrows, finding it difficult to accept.
Most elves have a bad view of humans. After all, the existence of the Elf Slave Catching Group is indeed a dark history that cannot be erased.
But the human forces were able to attack the Sun Elves in the Elven Court without leaving any clues.
No matter how you think about it, it is too outrageous. Even the churches of the gods in the human pantheon do not have the power to do such a thing in the Elven Court.
Rather than talking about humans, Riccardo preferred to believe that it was a party within the elves that took action, but hired human professionals to attack members of the Elisir family outside the Elven King's Court.
Li Si looked at Riccardo's expression and guessed that the other person might not believe what he said.
After thinking about it, Li Si decided to reveal some information:
"When I was chasing the assassin, the aura of the abyss appeared on that person."
“What?”
“Abyssal Breath?”
Riccardo's eyes widened, he looked at Li Si in disbelief, and even stood up from the wicker chair.
Abyss Demon?
Are they involved in this matter?
Riccardo was confused for a moment. Neither he nor the rest of the Ilisel family had thought of this possibility.
Cecile on the side also looked at Li Si in surprise. She didn't know the news either.
"Your Excellency Li Si, are you sure?"
Riccardo looked at Li Si and asked, his trembling hands showing that he was not at peace in his heart.
"Of course, I can be sure that it is an assassin who has fully accepted the power of the abyss, and I will definitely not be mistaken about the aura of corruption."
Li Si nodded and said with certainty.
"Your Excellency Li Si, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this news is too unexpected."
Riccardo stood up, paced back and forth in front of Li Si, and finally said to Li Si:
"Your Excellency Li Si, could you please wait here for a moment? I must now pass this information back to the Elf King's Court."
"If possible, I would even like to ask you to come with me to the Elf King's Court."
Looking at Riccardo's pleading eyes, Li Si felt numb for a moment.
Going to the Elf Court at this time?
Isn't that going to die?
