Chapter 437 The Legend of Elf Following in Secret
After seeing Lis and Cecile return to their station on time, Elder Riccardo breathed a sigh of relief.
Arrangements were made to take Li and Si to the room to rest, and Riccardo also returned to his room.
Even he was a little tired after these days of long journey.
Of course, it is more because I spend more time on guarding against dangers along the way.
After returning to the room, Riccardo closed the door gently and saw a figure sitting next to the window.
Riccardo did not show any surprise, but bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty Alves, may the light of the World Tree shine on you!"
“I wonder what your orders are?”
Riccardo’s attitude was respectful. Although he was an elder of the Elisir family, the person standing in front of him was a powerful one. Your Majesty the Legend.
Although this team of the Ilisel family was headed by Elder Riccardo on the surface, he knew very well that in fact, the Dark Elf Royal Court had arranged for a legendary minister to follow the team.
There is no way around this. Riccardo is very aware of the current predicament of the Elven Court.
No matter what methods and means were used, those who were hiding in the dark and doing the things could not be found.
So His Majesty Alves was specifically asked to follow the team in secret. On the one hand, it was to protect the Sun Elves in the field, and on the other hand, it was to see if they could catch those people.
Originally, Li Si was able to discover and kill a gold-level assassin who secretly attacked Cecil, which made Riccardo a little happy.
As long as the other party can't help but take action, they will eventually find a clue.
However, the news that came later was not so good.
Other sun elves were attacked when they went to Arcot City. Although the guards arranged successfully protected the sun elves of the Ilisel family, in the end they did not learn from the mouths of those assassins. What useful information can be obtained from it.
Those assassins died instantly when they were caught. It should be some kind of method by the mastermind behind the scenes, in order to prevent the leakage of intelligence.
If His Majesty Alves had been present at the time, he might have gotten some information, but he was staying in Arcot City at the time and it was too late by the time he rushed over.
Riccardo hoped that the other party would not be able to help but take action when they saw their team of elves, but it seemed that because of the total annihilation of the sent men, the enemy lurking in the dark had completely withdrawn its hands and feet.
On the way from Arcot City to the Emerald City, even though the legendary ranger Alves carefully investigated, he did not find any clues.
Those people seemed to have completely disappeared.
"Riccardo, you have worked hard during this time."
The young and handsome elf youth nodded slightly and said, then turned his eyes to the window that was much more energetic than the Elf Royal Court. city.
Alves' handsome face looked a little gloomy, and he was not in a good mood now that he had gained nothing along the way.
If we talk about what happened in the Elf King’s Court, who might be the most uneasy people are probably the legendary strong men like them.
People like Riccardo and the others, although they are high-level officials of the Elven Court, they do not know some secrets.
For example, this time in the Elven Court, the attacks by the Sun Elves made legendary strongmen like Alves feel deeply uneasy.
No matter how hard they tried, no clues were found.
These legendary strong men seemed to be unable to do anything, just as powerless as ordinary people.
What Riccardo and the others didn't know was that they had actually prayed to the Elf Gods for help, but what was disturbing was that they did not receive a response from any of the Elf Gods.
This is not normal!
If the assassination of the sun elves made them feel angry, but not receiving a response from the gods made them feel uneasy or even afraid.
Although the elven gods have issued oracles before, the main world of Gaia will usher in new great changes. Chaos and war will soon envelope the entire world of Gaia, the bottomless abyss, and countless alien planes and minor places. noodle.
Even Corellon Larethian, the chief god of the Elven pantheon [Creator, Guardian and Ruler of the Elves], cannot peer into the past, present and future of the world of Gaia.
Even though the Elf Kingdom made some preparations, it did not expect that the connection with the Elf Gods would now be severed.
This has never happened before!
This means that the Elf Royal Court will not be able to receive help from the gods at least for a short period of time. The Elf Legends, who were already a little uneasy, could not help but feel worried when facing the attack on the Japanese elves in the Elf Royal Court. Cast a shadow.
The city lord of the Elf Royal Court and the patriarch of the Ilisel family, Pompeii Ilisel, judged that there must be someone above the legend involved in this matter.
Otherwise, when the Elf Royal Court uses the arrangements and power left by the Elf gods, it is impossible to discover nothing.
I don’t know which evil god wants to take action against the Elf King’s Court, but no matter who it is, it would be too unreasonable to block the connection between the Elf King’s Court and the Elf Gods.
Alves is more willing to believe that this is the impact of some abnormal changes in the world, and that the evil god is just taking advantage of the opportunity.
The attack on the sun elves to extract blood may be to study the source of the power of the elven gods?
However, the entire Elf Royal Court is not too worried. The other party can only do these things at most.
Even if there is really an evil god secretly planning all this, the other party will definitely still be restricted by the main world of Gaia.
The arrangement of the elven gods in the Elven Court is enough to deal with external dangers.
So, this kind of attack from the dark is the most troublesome.
The Pompeii patriarch is right!
Alves stood up and stood in front of the window, looking at the darkening sky outside the window.
Even if the power of the evil god is involved, it is impossible for the Elf Royal Court to discover no clues at all.
It is very possible that there may be traitors among the higher-ups of the Elf King Court, secretly assisting the followers of the evil god, so that those people can act so smoothly in the Elf King Court.
The purpose of arranging for Riccardo to go out with him to pick up those sun elves this time was to catch them.
It turned out that Pompeo was right, but he did not seize the opportunity.
If I had known better, I should have set off earlier.
Alves was a little regretful because there were several Sun Elves in the team this time, so he chose to stay in Arcot City to deal with the unexpected situation.
But the subsequent development was not as he thought.
It can only be said that one step is slow and one step is slow. It seems that there is no chance to catch the opponent on the way back to the Elf King's Court from Arcot City.
“This is what I should do.”
Riccardo also said with some regret. Although he didn’t know much, but for him, all the sun elves could return safely. It’s also a good thing to go to the Elven Court.
Now every Sun Elf is very precious to the Ilisel family, and the family really cannot afford greater losses.
"Is there anything abnormal about that human being?"
Alves thought for a while, looked at Riccardo and asked.
Riccardo chose to invite Lis to the Elven Court, which surprised Alves.
Although Alves was promoted to the legendary ranger, his age was not as long as that of Riccardo, the family elder.
In his impression, Riccardo was actually an elf elder with relatively stubborn and conservative ideas. He had previously been opposed to Cecil's parents. But I didn't expect that this time he would invite Li Si, a human, to the Elf King's Court.
The human named Li Si, whom Alves had secretly observed, was quite young and very strong.
This is the case with humans. Although their life span is far less long than that of elves, they grow up too fast.
This is why humans now occupy a dominant position in the world of Gaia, and the gods of the human pantheon also occupy the most positions in the pantheon of gods.
Alves was a little surprised, but when he asked Riccardo before, the other party replied that this was because Lis was also one of the participants in this incident, and this was also recognized by the leader of Pompeii.
After learning Riccardo’s reasons, Alves did not object.
After all, as the elder of the Ilisel family, Riccardo has always been conscientious and conscientious. Even if he is a legendary powerhouse, he must respect the other party's opinions.
Not to mention the approval of the clan leader.
However, Alves seemed to feel a familiar aura from Lis, which made him hesitate.
"There is no problem. There is nothing unusual about that human being so far."
Riccardo paused for a moment and said hesitantly:
"I think you are a little too worried. If it is true Those people planned it secretly, and they shouldn’t choose a human, right?”
“Maybe.”
Alves said lightly, and then stopped paying attention to this matter. Something happened.
"Depart from the Emerald Capital tomorrow and speed up to return to the Royal Court as soon as possible."
"In this situation, it is estimated that those on the road will not continue to take action."
Since we know there is no chance Well, it’s better to return to the Elf King’s Court as soon as possible.
Although he knew that the Elf Court and his family would not be in danger because of his departure, it was more peaceful to return to the Elf Court at this time.
“I understand.”
Riccardo nodded. He and Alves had similar ideas.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alves' figure disappeared into the room.
On the second day, outside the Emerald Capital,
The team led by Riccardo continued their journey back to the Elf King's Court after a simple day's rest.
After a while, Li Si felt something was wrong.
It was obvious that the entire team was moving much faster than before. Not to mention Cecil, even some of the elf guards in the team were struggling to keep up.
Has anything changed?
Li Si was very relaxed, but he also controlled his speed within a reasonable range.
This kind of speed will make many people in the team very tired, and it will be very dangerous if they are attacked.
If you do this.
Either there are other forces secretly protecting them, or they are making sure that there will be no more attacks along the way.
Li Si’s face was expressionless, but he raised his hand and grabbed Cecile’s thin shoulders and led her forward.
Otherwise, with her thin body as a mage, she would definitely not be able to bear it along the way.
Cecile looked at Li Si gratefully. She didn’t think too much. Even with the blessing of the Swift Magic Tower, she could barely keep up with the team.
However, she did not give any advice to Riccardo. He also knew that it was more dangerous to be in the wild at this time.
It would be nice to return to the Elf Court as soon as possible.
The journey back to the Elven Court was quite peaceful, even a little boring.
But maybe this is normal.
As children of the great forests of Navia, the elves will almost never encounter attacks from wild beasts and monsters in the forest.
Even those monsters that would attack the elves did not dare to attack directly after noticing this powerful team.
Riccardo let the entire team rest for a while and arranged for the ranger professionals in the team to go to the front to investigate the situation.
Li Si handed the water bag in his hand to Cecile and asked with a smile:
"Is it okay?"
It was another day after Li Si and the others left the Emerald Capital. After seven days of journey, Riccardo almost cared about returning to the Elf King's Court as quickly as a Silver-level professional could bear.
Of course, thanks to this speed, they are only about three days away from the Elven Court.
"It's okay."
Cecile wiped the sweat from her forehead, swept away the dust on the stone, and sat down against a lush tree.
She was not polite. Because of Li Si's help, she felt a little more relaxed than before when she went to the Emerald Capital.
"I haven't been to the Elf King's Court yet. Cecil, can you tell me what that city is like?"
Li Si glanced at the busy people. The others thought for a while and sat down next to Cecile.
Regarding the Elf King's Court, he really didn't know much about the situation in that city.
Unlike the Emerald City, by the time the great Navia forest, known as the Elf Forest, is opened to players, the Elf Royal Court has already been destroyed.
As a player, Li Si saw only a stone ruin covering the entire plain. Only a few remaining stone pillars and exquisite reliefs could bear witness to the former glory of this place.
"The Elf Royal Court"
Cecile was not surprised. The Elf Royal Court is different from the Emerald City. It is usually very difficult for a human to enter that city.
Although the memory left by the Elf Royal Court to Cecil is not very good, Cecil does not deny that this oldest city in the Elf Kingdom does carry the long and rich history of the Elf people.
Time has almost stood still in that city. Every building and every decoration may be traces left by an elf hero countless years ago.
Not to mention the ancient altar in the center of the city. Legend has it that it was the place where the World Tree took root in the earth and the world of Gaia.
There are many relics like this in the Elf King's Court. The Ilisel family protects these places very well. It seems that this is the only way to better represent the source of their bloodline inheritance.
Cecile didn’t care too much about this. Although the World Tree is the highest belief among the elves, it has disappeared for too long and has never responded to any believer.
This means that there are not many elves who believe in the World Tree.
Just when Cecil was introducing Li Si to the Elven Court, an Elf Ranger hurried back.
"Elder Riccardo, there is something wrong with the road ahead!"
