Chapter 437 The Legend of Elf Following in Secret
After seeing Li Si and Cecile return to the station on time, Elder Riccardo breathed a sigh of relief.
Arranged for people to take Li Si to the room to rest, and Riccardo also returned to his room.
Even he was a little tired from the long journey these days.
Of course, the more reason is that more attention is spent 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 upon 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 legendary crown prince.
Although this team of the Ilisel family is apparently headed by Elder Riccardo, he knows very well that in fact, the Dark Elf Royal Court has arranged for a legendary crown prince 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 carrying out the attack could not be found.
Therefore, 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.
Lis 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 escorts they arranged successfully protected the sun elves of the Ilisel family, in the end they did not get any useful information from the assassins. .
The assassins died instantly when they were caught. It should be some kind of method by the mastermind behind the scenes to prevent the leakage of intelligence.
Had His Majesty Alves been present at the time, he might have gotten some information, but he was staying in Arcot City at that time, and it was already too late by the time he rushed over.
Riccardo hoped that the other party would not be able to resist taking action when they saw their team of elves, but it seemed that because of the total annihilation of the sent troops, the enemy lurking in the dark had completely withdrawn its hands and feet.
On the way from Arcot City to the Emerald City, even if the legendary ranger Alves searched carefully, he did not find any clues.
Those people seemed to have completely disappeared.
“Riccardo, thank you for your hard work during this time.”
The young and handsome elf youth nodded slightly and said, and then turned his gaze to the city outside the window, which was much more vibrant than the Elf Royal Court.
Alves' handsome face looked a little gloomy. He had gained nothing along the way and was not in a good mood now.
If we talk about what happened in the Elf King's Court, who might be the most uneasy people are probably these legendary powerful men.
People like Riccardo and the others, although they are high-level officials of the Elf Royal Court, they do not know some secrets.
Just like what happened this time in the Elven Court, the attack 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 seem 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 elven gods for help, but what was disturbing was that they did not receive a response from any of the elven gods.
This is not normal!
If the assassination of the sun elves makes them feel angry, but they do not get a response from the gods, it will make them feel uneasy or even afraid.
Although the elven gods have sent down 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 planes.
Even Corellon Larethian, the chief **** 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 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, couldn't help but feel a shadow in their hearts when facing the attack on the Japanese elves in the Elf Court. .
Pompeii Ilisel, the city lord of the Elf Royal Court and the patriarch of the Ilyser family, 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 **** wants to attack 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 **** is just taking advantage of the opportunity.
Attacking the sun elves to extract blood, maybe they want 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 an evil **** secretly planning all this, the other party will definitely be restricted by the main world of Gaia.
The arrangement of the elven gods in the Elf King's Court is enough to deal with external dangers.
Hence, 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 there is the involvement of the evil god, it is impossible for the Elf Royal Court to discover no clues at all.
It is very possible, because there may be traitors among the high-level officials of the Elven Court, secretly assisting the believers of the evil god, so that those people can act so smoothly in the Elven Court.
This time he arranged for Riccardo to go out with him to pick up the sun elves, just to catch the other party's feet.
It turned out that Pompeo was right, but he did not seize the opportunity.
Had I known earlier, 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 expected.
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 that although he didn't know much, it was a good thing for him that all the sun elves could safely return to the Elven Court.
Every Sun Elf is now very precious to the Ilisel family, and the family really cannot afford greater losses.
“Is there anything unusual 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 elder of the family.
In his impression, Riccardo was actually an elf elder with a rather stubborn and conservative concept, and he had previously been opposed to the matter of 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 lifespan 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.
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 Pompeii patriarch.
After learning Riccardo's reasons, Alves did not object.
After all, Riccardo, as the elder of the Elisir family, has always been conscientious and conscientious. Even if he is a legendary strongman, he must respect the other party's opinions.
Not to mention the approval of the patriarch.
However, Alves seemed to feel a familiar aura from Li Si, which made him hesitate.
“There's no problem, there's 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 was really those people who planned it secretly, they probably wouldn't have chosen a human, right?"
"maybe."
Alves said calmly, and then stopped paying attention to this matter.
“Let's set off from the Emerald Capital tomorrow and speed up to return to the Royal Court as soon as possible.”
“In this case, it is estimated that those on the road will not continue to take action.”
Since we know there is no chance, we should return to the Elf 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 see."
Riccardo nodded. He and Alves had similar ideas.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alves' figure disappeared into the room.
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 traveling 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 protecting us secretly, or we are sure that we will not be attacked again on the way back.
Li Si's face was expressionless, but he raised his hand and grabbed Cecile's thin shoulders and led her forward.
Otherwise, her thin body as a mage would definitely be unbearable 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 in the wild at this time.
It would be nice to return to the Elven Court as soon as possible.
The journey back to the Elf King's 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 rangers 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?”
Seven days have passed since Li Si and the others left the Emerald Capital. 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 Elf King's Court.
"fine."
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, but because of Li Si's help, she felt a little more relaxed than when she went to the Emerald Capital before.
“I haven't been to the Elven Court yet, Cecil, can you tell me what that city is like?”
Li Si glanced at the other people who were busy, thought about it, and sat down next to Cecile.
Concerning the Elf King's Court, he really didn't know much about the situation in that city.
Different from the Emerald City, by the time the great Navia forest known as the Elf Forest is opened to players, the Elf King's Court has already been destroyed.
As a player, Li Si saw only a stone ruin covering the entire plain. There were only a few remaining stone pillars and exquisite reliefs that could bear witness to the former glory of this place.
“The Elf King's Court”
There was no surprise for Cecil. The Elf Royal Court was different from the Emerald City. It was 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 is almost at a standstill 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, which is said to have been the location 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 Elisir family protects these locations very well. It seems that this is the only way to better represent the source of their bloodline inheritance.
Cecile doesn'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 the Elf King's Court to Li Si, an Elf Ranger hurried back.
“Elder Riccardo, there is something wrong with the road ahead!”
