Chapter 437 The Elf Legend Following in Secret
After seeing Li Si and Cecil return to the base on time, Elder Ricardo breathed a sigh of relief.
He arranged for someone to take Li Si and Cecil to their room to rest, and Ricardo also returned to his room.
After these days of long journeys, even he was a little tired.
Of course, it was more because he spent more time on guarding against danger along the way.
After returning to the room, Ricardo gently closed the door and saw a figure sitting by the window.
Ricardo did not show any surprise, but bowed slightly and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty Alvis, may the light of the world tree shine on you!"
"I wonder if you have any instructions?"
Ricardo was respectful. Although he was an elder of the Ilisel family, the one standing in front of him was a powerful legendary majesty.
Although the Ilisel family team was led by Elder Ricardo on the surface, he knew very well that the Elf King Court had arranged a legendary majesty to follow the team in secret.
There was no way around it. Ricardo knew the current predicament of the Elf King Court very well.
No matter what methods and means were used, those who were hiding in the dark and taking action were not found.
So His Majesty Alvis was specially asked to follow the team in secret, on the one hand to protect the sun elves in other places, and on the other hand to see if they could catch those people.
Originally, Li Si was able to find and kill a gold-level assassin who secretly attacked Cecil, which made Ricardo a little happy.
As long as the other party can't help but take action, there will be a clue after all.
However, the news that came later was not very good.
Other sun elves were attacked when they went to Akot City. Although the guards arranged successfully protected the sun elves of the Ilisel family, they did not get any useful information from the assassins in the end.
Those assassins died instantly when they were caught. It should be some means of the mastermind behind the scenes to prevent information leakage.
If His Majesty Alvis was present at the time, he might have gotten some information, but he was in Akot City at the time, and it was too late when he rushed over.
Ricardo hoped that the other party would not be able to resist attacking when they saw their elf team, but it seemed that because the people sent out were all wiped out, the enemy lurking in the dark had completely withdrawn his hands and feet.
On the way from Akot City to the Emerald City, even if the legendary ranger Alvis carefully explored, he did not find any clues.
Those people seemed to have completely disappeared.
"Ricardo, you have worked hard during this period."
The young and handsome elf youth nodded gently and said, then turned his eyes to the city outside the window that was much more vibrant than the Elf King's Court.
Alvis's handsome face looked a little gloomy. He was in a bad mood now because 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, it might be these legendary strongmen.
People like Ricardo, although they are high-level members of the Elf King's Court, they do not know some secrets.
For example, the attack on those day elves in the Elf King's Court this time made Alvis and other legendary strongmen feel deeply uneasy.
No matter how hard they tried, they did not find any clues.
These legendary warriors seemed to be unable to do anything, just like ordinary people.
What Ricardo and his friends didn't know was that they had actually prayed to the elven gods for help a long time ago, but what was disturbing was that they didn't get any response from any of the elven gods.
This was very abnormal!
If the assassination of the Sun Elves made them feel angry, but they didn't get a response from the gods, they felt uneasy and even scared.
Although the elven gods had given an oracle before, the Gaia main world would usher in a new great change, chaos and war would soon cover the entire Gaia world, the bottomless abyss, and countless other planes and small planes.
Even the main god of the elven pantheon [the creator, guardian and ruler of the elves] Corellon Laresian could not peek into the past, present and future of the Gaia world.
Even though the Elven Kingdom had made some preparations, it didn't expect that the connection with the elven gods would be cut off now.
This had never happened before!
This meant that the Elven King's Court would not be able to get help from the gods at least in the short term. The elven legends, who were already a little uneasy, were inevitably overshadowed when facing the attack on the Sun Elves by the Elven King's Court.
Pompey Ilisel, the mayor of the Elf King Court and the patriarch of the Ilisel family, judged that this matter must have been participated by a legendary being.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Elf King Court to find nothing when it used the arrangements and power left by the elven gods.
I don't know which evil god wants to attack the Elf King Court, but no matter who it is, it is too unreasonable to cut off the connection between the Elf King Court and the elven gods.
Alves prefers to believe that this is the impact of some abnormal changes in the world, and the evil god just took the opportunity to act.
Attacking the sun elves to extract blood, maybe to study the source of the power of the elven gods?
However, the entire Elf King Court is not too worried, and the other party can only do these things at most.
Even if there is an evil god who is secretly planning all this, the other party will definitely be restricted by the Gaia main world.
The arrangements of the elven gods in the Elf King Court are enough to deal with external dangers.
Therefore, this kind of attack from the dark is the most troublesome.
Patriarch Pompeii was 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 Court, who are secretly assisting the followers of the evil god, so that those people can act so smoothly in the Elf Court.
This time, he arranged for Riccardo to go out with him to pick up those sun elves, just to catch the other party's feet.
It turned out that Pompeo was right, but he just failed to seize the opportunity.
If I had 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 Elf King's Court.
Now every Sun Elf is 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 moment, 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 powerful.
This is the case for 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.
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 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.
"Depart 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."
Now that I know there is no chance, it is better to return to the Elf Court as soon as possible.
Although he knew that the Elf King's Court and his family would not be in danger because of his departure, it was more peaceful to return to the Elf King's 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.
On the second day, outside the Emerald Capital,
After a simple day's rest, the team led by Riccardo continued their journey back to the Elf King's Court.
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 to grab Cecile's thin shoulders and led her forward.
Otherwise, her thin body as a mage 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 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.
Ricardo asked the whole team to rest for a while and arranged for the ranger professionals in the team to go ahead to investigate the situation.
Li Si handed the water bag in his hand to Cecil and asked with a smile:
"Is it okay?"
It had been seven days since Li Si and his team left the Emerald City. Ricardo was almost returning to the Elf King's Court at the fastest speed that a silver-level professional could bear.
Of course, thanks to this speed, they were only about three days away from the Elf King's Court.
"It's okay."
Cecil wiped the sweat from her forehead, swept the dust off the stone, and sat down against a lush tree.
She was not polite. Because of Li Si's help, she was a little more relaxed than when she went to the Emerald City before.
"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 other people who were busy, thought about it, and sat down next to Cecil.
As for the Elf King's Court, he really didn't know much about the situation in that city.
Unlike the Emerald City, when the Navia Great Forest, known as the Forest of Elves, was opened to players, the Elf King's Court had already been destroyed.
As a player, Li Si saw only a stone ruin covering the entire plain, with only a few remaining stone pillars and exquisite reliefs on them to witness the former glory of this place.
"The Elf King's Court"
Cecil was not surprised. The Elf King's Court was different from the Emerald City. It was quite difficult for a human to enter that city.
Although the Elf King's Court left Cecil with a not very good memory, Cecil did not deny that this oldest city in the Elf Kingdom did carry the long and heavy history of the elves.
Time was almost stagnant in that city. Every building and every decoration could be a trace 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 Gaia world.
There are many such relics in the Elven King's Court. The Ilisel family has protected these places very well, as if only this can better represent the source of their bloodline inheritance.
Cecil didn't care much about this. Although the World Tree is the highest belief of the elves, it has disappeared for too long and has never responded to any believers.
This makes it rare for elves to believe in the World Tree.
Just as Cecil was introducing the Elven King's Court to Li Si, an elf ranger ran back in a hurry.
"Elder Ricardo, there is something wrong with the road ahead!"
