I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 445

Chapter 445 World Tree Phantom and Cognitive Bias

 Elf Royal Court, House of Elisir,

 After coming out of Pompeii's room, Lis followed Riccardo down.

"I didn't expect the clan leader to give this ring to you."

Riccardo glanced at the gold ring Li Si wore on his hand, sighed slightly and said:

"But I think Patriarch Pompeii is right. Now may be the best time for you to do this."

Li Si shook his head. Although he was a little confused, he didn't say much.

Now it seems that the entire Elf Court is relatively normal. With the back-up prepared in advance, there should be no problem with safety.

When Li Si and Riccardo got off the magic elevator, they saw several elves with the same blond hair and golden eyes walking in from the outside.

"Elder Riccardo, long time no see."

One of the elf youths looked at Riccardo and said.

Riccardo nodded:

"Long time no see, Xifu."

Seeing this, Li Si also stopped and stood beside Riccardo.

Due to the destruction of the Elven Court in the previous life, basically no players had in-depth exposure to the plot related to the Elven Court.

Li Si didn't know these sun elves in front of him, but the aura exuded by this sun elf named Xifu was quite impressive.

Not weaker than Riccardo, but obviously much younger than Riccardo.

"Who is this?"

Si Fu looked at Li Si, who was standing side by side with Riccardo, and asked with a smile.

"This is the guest invited back by the Pompeii patriarch, Mr. Li Si."

Riccardo frowned slightly, but still introduced him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li Si."

Xifu stretched out his hand and said to Li Si with a smile.

Especially when he noticed the ring on Li Si's hand, the smile on his face became even warmer.

"Hello."

Li Si shook hands with the sun elf calmly. He felt that the sun elf in front of him gave him a strange feeling.

He is now wary of everyone in the Elf Court, even Riccardo and the Pompeii patriarch.

When Xifu saw this, he didn't bother too much. He simply chatted with Ricard for a few more words and then left.

Watching Xi Fu and several sun elves leave, Li Si said to Riccardo:

"The one just now seems to be quite powerful too!"

"As expected of the Elisir family!"

Hearing this, Riccardo shook his head and said:

"Xifu's talent is quite good among the family, but he is usually a little too confident."

Was the strange feeling Xifu gave him just now because of his indifferent attitude towards the possible attacks he faced?

Li Si felt that something was wrong. When he was in Arcot City, when he learned from Riccardo that the Ilisel family's sun elves were facing an attack, he thought that the situation in the Elf King's Court was already quite bad.

But now it seems that both the ordinary residents of the Elf King's Court and the people of the Ilisel family have a feeling of contempt for this matter.

This is not the same seriousness and urgency as what Riccardo showed before.

Li Si felt vaguely separated.

Even the Pompeii patriarch just now, although he gave Li Si a good feeling, also attached great importance to this matter, and it seemed normal.

But even if those reasons exist, it always feels like something is wrong to leave such an important matter to the Elf Court to Li Si.

"Let's go, Mr. Li Si."

Riccardo said to Lis:

"You must have worked hard along the way. I will take you to a place to rest."

"This matter has been going on for so many days, so there is no rush. What's more, the leader of Pompeii also said that triggering the effect of [Prediction Ring] also requires a certain amount of opportunity."

Li Si nodded and followed Riccardo outside.

At this time, in a dark place in the Ilisel Tower, a pair of eyes were staring at Lis and Riccardo who were walking outside.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Li Si.

"Li Si?"

"What a tricky little guy. Did he guess something?"

"In this case, we can't take action now."

"It's really troublesome to smell like that guy Stephens!"

After a while, the darkness here returned to calm again, but there was a hint of blood in the deep darkness.

Arrive at a courtyard east of the Elf King's Court.

This courtyard has the style of the Pompeii patriarch. Although it is an elf tree house, it is quite spacious and the decoration inside is also quite luxurious.

"Li Si, this is where our Elisir family receives distinguished guests. There is no problem for you to rest here during this period."

"If you have anything to do, you can ask the waiter to do it."

Riccardo introduced Li Si.

In fact, given his status, there is no need for him to do these things at all.

But when he learned that Li Si also mastered the power of the extraordinary realm, he paid much more attention to Li Si.

Elves are proud, and sun elves even more so.

But when facing real geniuses, they will also put away their arrogance and prejudice and communicate in a friendly manner.

This is true for Sifu, and even more so for Riccardo.

"Okay, thank you Elder Riccardo."

Li Si nodded. Although he didn't care too much about where he lived, he was quite satisfied with this temporary residence.

After Riccardo said a few polite words, he stood up and left.

After Riccardo walked away, Li Si briefly checked the situation in the house, then sat at the table and reviewed today's experience.

When staying in a place of right and wrong like the Elf King's Court, it's better to be careful.

To be honest, what he saw and heard today gave Li Si an unclear feeling.

Especially the Pompeii clan leader. Although Li Si had never heard of the name of [Prediction Ring], if the effect of this ring is really what Pompeii said, its level must not be low.

Just leave it to yourself?

With just this ring, can we really find out who is behind the scenes?

Li Si didn't quite believe it, so he let him wear the ring and wander around the Elf King's Court, waiting for the trigger effect to find clues to the mastermind behind the scenes?

This approach always feels a bit childish.

With an elf legend sitting in charge and the power left behind by the elf gods, they would place their hopes on him, a human?

Or is it that the Pompeii patriarch actually secretly prepared many plans to look for clues, and he was just a part of the plan?

How can I get more information?

Do you want to do what the Pompeii patriarch asked you to do first? Li Si was thinking in his mind and subconsciously drew his right hand in front of him.

Um?

Li Si suddenly stopped and looked at his right hand that was still in mid-air.

What am I doing?

Somehow, the previous feeling of disobedience reappeared in Li Si's heart.

It's like when you're chatting with someone and your mind suddenly goes blank when you want to say something.

A little disgusting, a little uncomfortable.

Li Si looked at his right hand silently, trying hard to think about what went wrong, but in the end he found nothing.

Sure enough, something wrong seemed to have happened!

Li Si's heart tightened. The anomalies in the Elven Court made him feel as if he had fallen into a fantasy story. Everything looked normal but was full of weirdness.

Are you going to retreat now?

Li Si hesitated for a moment and finally stopped the idea.

On just the first day, he felt a lot of abnormalities.

Although I haven't gone to other parts of the Elf King's Court yet, I guess there will be a lot of things that are amiss.

Pompeii and the others aside, I don't know why Riccardo didn't react at all to this.

Could this be the result of Riccardo being contaminated by the power of the abyss?

So, is the entire Elven Court now contaminated by the power of the abyss?

Li Si felt that he was now on a powder keg, and this powder keg was the entire Elf King's Court.

But now Li Si is unwilling to leave, firstly because he has prepared emergency measures and is sure to leave the Elf King's Court safely before danger arrives.

The second reason was that he had just tried to contact the secret of the destruction of the Elven Court, and he was unwilling to leave now.

Then all the preparations made before were in vain.

There's no rush, although something is wrong, there should still be some time before the Elf King's Court is destroyed.

Li Si silently thought that if possible, he still wanted to save Cecile as much as possible.

Even if Cecil in her previous life had not died due to an assassin's assassination, she certainly had not escaped the destruction of the Elf King's Court.

It was precisely because of the deaths of Cecil and her mother that the Elf Sword Master became so emotionally extreme.

For Li Si, rescuing Cecile also meant making friends with the future legendary swordsman.

Of course, what's more important is that Li Si wants to help this strong elf girl.

Let's take a step first and see what happens.

Li Si thought silently in his heart and stood up.

After stretching, Li Si twisted his neck and walked outside the house.

Practice your martial arts skills!

If you don't practice martial arts for a day, you will feel like something is wrong with you.

If Teacher Stephens knew that he was wasting his martial arts training, he would definitely teach him a lesson!

The next day, the Elf King's Court,

Riccardo came over early in the morning, planning to walk around the royal court with Li Si to see if he could trigger the effect of the [Prediction Ring].

Li Si felt that Riccardo seemed to be very active in finding those behind the scenes, but he did not refuse his company.

Although letting an elf elder serve as his guide was a bit overkill, Li Si was indeed not familiar with the Elf King's Court.

In particular, Li Si is very interested in some places in the Elf Royal Court, so it is also good to have Riccardo, the elder of the Ilisel family, accompanying him.

At least you don't have to worry about being stopped by others when you go somewhere.

"Is this the World Tree Altar?"

Li Si was now in the center of the Elf King's Court, Zhuonuo City, looking at the scene in front of him and sighing.

Generally speaking, the central area of ​​a city is its most prosperous and lively area, but the Elf King's Court is different.

There are no buildings in the core area of ​​Drannor City, the Elven Court. An ancient altar covering an extremely wide area lies quietly here.

This ancient altar has only three floors and looks very simple, even crude.

Each of the blue-gray stone bricks that make up the altar seems to bear the traces of time. It has been eroded by wind and rain and is mottled, but it still reveals a sense of vicissitudes of beauty. Between those stone bricks, there seems to be still the laughter and laughter of the elves, or the whispers of their devout prayers.

The few remaining stone pillars on the altar, like guardian angels, have stood firm despite thousands of years of wind and rain. Although their bodies are dilapidated, their majesty and strength have not diminished at all. The patterns engraved on the stone pillars are rough and wild, and every stroke is full of the tension of life, as if you can feel the close connection between the elves and nature.

Li Si looked at the altar in front of him like a thick history book. Every stone brick and every stone pillar was its chapter, recording the glory and decline of the elves, and also telling the changes and eternity of the world.

Standing here, Li Si quietly felt the shock and awe that spanned time and space.

This altar may have existed before the prosperity of the human race, and even longer than the existence of many eternal gods.

Li Si could feel the faint and pure aura of divine power shrouding this ancient altar. Perhaps it was because of the protection of the elves and gods that this altar was preserved.

Looking at this ancient altar, Li Si seemed to be in a trance as if a big tree covering the sky had appeared. It stood alone in a world that was still a wasteland, but it seemed so full of vitality.

In Li Si's eyes, this giant tree seemed to be rooted in the whole world.

The branches are thick and solid like mountains and rivers, like the arms of a warrior holding up the entire sky; and its branches and leaves are lush and green like jade, like the embrace of a loving mother, warm and broad, giving shelter and nourishment to this desolate world.

What's even more magical is that when the sun penetrates its canopy and casts variegated light and shadow, along with the tender green life essence dripping from the canopy, it is like a flowing waterfall of light, spreading light and hope to the earth. Just like the drizzle that nourishes the heart, a barren place can bloom with vitality.

After a while, Li Si woke up from the hallucination.

Is this the World Tree Yectrasil?

The existence that was born at the beginning of the world of Gaia and gave birth to the vitality of the entire world?

Riccardo stood beside Lis, noticed that he had woken up, and said with a smile:

"Did you see it? That is the origin and mother of our elves, the World Tree!"

"This altar is the place where the mother of the world tree once took root. This place has been imprinted with special traces in time and space, and it has never dissipated for thousands of years."

"It's really shocking!"

Li Si nodded, filled with emotion.

This can already be regarded as a miracle!

When he saw the World Tree, he felt as if he was immersed in the river of time, and his perspective was infinitely higher.

For some reason, Li Si always felt that there was something about the World Tree in the phantom that made him want to get close.

Ding~

A crisp voice rang in Li Si's ears, but he didn't react at all.

The altar in front of me, if the [World Tree Sprout] will appear on the ruins of the Elf King's Court, it will most likely appear here, right?

Li Si looked at the ancient altar in front of him with expectations in his heart.

Sure enough, the choice to come to the Elf King's Court was the right one, and it was a worthwhile trip to witness such a miracle.

All that remains is to find the guy who attacked the Sun Elves, and the journey will be complete!

Li Si thought to himself, unaware that his perception had gone awry again.
