Chapter 447 Praying and Waking Up
The Elf King's Court, a quiet place somewhere in the west of the city,
This place is not far from the core tower of the Ilisel family, and along the way, Li Si saw the guards of the Ilisel family wearing golden light armor.
It seems that this area is also a very important place for the Ilisel family.
Li Si followed Cecil here, and when he met the patrolling elf guards along the way, he tacitly did not go forward to ask about the situation.
After all, Li Si was the only human who could stand in the Elf King's Court.
Originally, after getting the approval of the Pompeii Patriarch, Li Si had the right to enter the entire Elf King's Court except for a few areas.
Not to mention that Ricardo had already told them in advance, so there was no need to stop him.
In addition, they had heard about Li Si and Cecil, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.
At this time, Cecil was no longer as lively and cheerful as when she was with Li Si in the past, and her face blushed and followed Li Si obediently.
Seeing Cecil like this, although she was very proactive before, she was a little shy when the time came.
Li Si didn't care and held Cecil's jade-like hand.
Cecil was slightly startled and struggled a little. Seeing that Li Si didn't let go, she blushed and acquiesced.
Li Si felt relieved and walked towards the destination with Cecil with a smile.
After a while, an exquisite tree house appeared in front of Li Si and Cecil.
The tree house was quietly surrounded by a green oak tree, nestled on an ancient and huge tree trunk, and the wooden walls were entangled with green vines, like traces of time, as if it was a work of art carved by the god of nature.
Around the tree house, there is a yard surrounded by flowers. The fresh and colorful flowers still have morning dew on them, swaying gently in the wind, exuding bursts of intoxicating fragrance, and shining in the sun.
Li Si had heard about her mother from Cecil.
Her mother, Ariana, is a sun elf from the Ilisel family, and is a partner with her father, Agri, who is an ordinary elf.
This is quite rare in the Elven Kingdom, but fortunately, the Ilisel family is relatively open-minded. At that time, they agreed to the marriage of her father and mother, just like she does now, and gave their blessings.
The only difference is that her father is the leader of the Elven Guard in the Emerald City, so he rarely meets his mother who lives in the Elven Royal Court.
However, the relationship between her father and mother has always been good, and Cecil has always grown up in the care of her father and mother.
Li Si held Cecil's hand, felt the girl's body a little nervous, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, don't worry."
It was obviously to meet Cecil's mother, but for some reason Cecil seemed more nervous.
Cecil took a deep breath and calmed down the emotion that came from nowhere.
Cecil pushed open the door and walked into the tree house with Li Si.
A warm atmosphere came to her face. The layout of the room was simple but elegant, and every place revealed the owner's taste and thoughts.
The soft cushions, exquisite tea sets, and the books scattered in the corners all make people feel the warmth of home.
What's more worth mentioning is that the room is full of traces of Cecil's father and mother's life. On the wall hangs a hand-painted painting, a warm picture of a family of three; on the table are exquisite decorations and some old toys.
These little details make the whole tree house full of love.
"Is it Cecil?"
A gentle female voice sounded, and a beautiful elf woman walked out of the room.
She has dazzling blonde hair, like the sun shining on the golden wheat field, shining with charming luster. Her blonde hair fell softly on her shoulders, gently fluttering with the breeze from the window.
The pair of golden eyes were deep and bright, but there was no indifference or arrogance, only full of love and tenderness. Li Si seemed to feel a warm current flowing into his heart, as if the whole world had become soft.
"Mother, good morning."
"Li Si, this is my mother, Anliana."
Cecil saw her mother coming out and hurriedly called out, then hesitantly didn't know what to say.
Aliana smiled and didn't say much.
When she saw her daughter's hand held by Li Si, she knew who the human in front of her was.
"You are Li Si, right?"
"Cecil has told me about it many times?"
Aliana was not surprised. Although it was late last night, Elder Ricardo still came to her to talk about Cecil and Li Si's marriage.
Aliana didn't have any idea of stopping the two.
After all, every time Cecil chatted with her, he would mention this human man named Li Si. She had long seen that her daughter had someone in her heart.
When talking about Li Si, Aliana had already noticed the flash in her daughter's eyes, but she just resisted and didn't ask more questions.
She believed that Cecil could make the right choice, and the fact that Cecil and Li Si's marriage could get the attention of Elder Ricardo and even the Patriarch of Pompeii was enough to prove Li Si's excellence.
Moreover, even now, in Ariana's opinion, Li Si's appearance was quite outstanding.
Even in the Ilisel family, it was considered quite outstanding.
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Ariana."
Li Si let go of Cecil's hand and saluted respectfully.
No matter what, Li Si still respects the lady in front of him who is more like a sister than mother and daughter.
"I'll go prepare some tea."
Cecile was still a little flustered and walked toward the kitchen in a hurry.
My mother comes here often, so she is very familiar with the layout here.
Ariana didn't stop Cecile, she looked at her daughter with loving and compassionate eyes, and then took it back.
"Cecile is a good girl, she has been since childhood."
"This is the first time I've seen her look so shy. She's so cute."
Li Si sat opposite Ariana and listened quietly to Ariana's words without saying anything.
"Since childhood, she has lived more with me."
"Although her father loves her very much, after all, the Emerald City is far away and often cannot take care of her."
Ariana said gently, with a small smile on her face.
Seems to be immersed in fond memories of the past.
"I understand."
Li Si nodded and said in a positive tone.
No matter what, his feelings for Cecile cannot be faked, and he is willing to be responsible for Cecile's future.
"I know, Liz."
Ariana looked at Li Si and said seriously:
"I have often heard about you from Elder Riccardo and Cecile, and know that you are a good boy."
"As Cecile's mother, I give her all my care."
"She's been outside all her adult life, and I'm a little worried."
"But now it seems that I am worrying too much."
"Li Si, I hope you can take responsibility for Cecile, so that I can hand Cecile to you with confidence."
Ariana's tone revealed solemnity, and Li Si was a little surprised, but thinking that his marriage to Cecile was almost settled, it was indeed time.
"Ms. Ariana, please rest assured."
"I will take good care of Cecile for the rest of her life!"
Li Si solemnly promised, but for some reason his thoughts suddenly became confused.
It's like I've forgotten something, but I can't remember it.
"Li Si, of course I believe you."
"I believe you and Cecile will be happy in the future."
Ariana's eyes were gentle, and she looked at Lis as if she were her child.
"I have no objection to who Cecile's partner is. I was really worried that if he chose a human, the longevity of the immortal species would make her face a sad separation. That is something I don't want Cecile to experience."
"But it's okay, Li Si, you are so good, I don't think you have to worry about this in the future."
Li Si turned around slightly. With the guidance of Teacher Stephens, he was indeed confident to become a legendary warrior.
At this time, Cecile walked out of the kitchen with tea and snacks, and saw Li Si and his smiling mother sitting on the sofa.
He quickly put down the things in his hands, packed them up, and sat next to Li Si.
Ariana looked at Lis and Cecile, who were as good as a golden child, her eyes were full of emotion, and she said with emotion:
"My daughter, you are luckier than your father and I, so cherish her!"
"No, mother, are you and your father so happy?"
"It would be great if Li Si and I could be like you and your father!"
"Um"
Ariana didn't know what happened to her, she opened her mouth but didn't know how to answer.
Is what Cecile said really true?
Why does she feel so uncomfortable?
She and Cecile's father are indeed very happy, right?
But why is it that there seems to be a gloomy feeling in my heart that I want to vomit but can't?
This is her daughter, and she will obviously have the best happiness.
I will get the blessings from my parents and the Elisir family.
Why?
Why is she so worried and sad?
Why does it feel like there is something I must say to Cecile, otherwise it will never be too late?
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Cecile felt a little shy because of what she just said, but suddenly she noticed that her mother's face was a little pale and her eyes were panicked.
"me?"
Ariana looked at her daughter, and there was something in her heart that she wanted to tell her daughter, but she couldn't say it out.
For a moment, Ariana felt that the whole world was a little chaotic, the surrounding scene was distorted, and the colors in her field of vision were confused like a palette.
"Woo~"
Ariana felt as if something was trying desperately to prevent her from remembering.
The more oppressive she was, the more uneasy Ariana felt.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Cecile found that her mother, who had always been calm and dignified, suddenly grasped the armrest of the sofa tightly, her face turned pale, her whole body was shaking and she was sweating.
It seemed like he was enduring some great pain.
Although Cecile's shout was quite loud, it was quite distant and faint in Ariana's ears.
So far away that it seems to cross the distance between worlds, so far away that it seems to cross the boundary between death and life.
I have to remember!
Cecile can't be like me, she is already very unfortunate!
She must get her own happiness!
Although she didn’t know why such a voice appeared in her heart, Ariana’s mother’s intuition made her firmly believe in the hunch at this moment.
Ariana was shaking all over, but her will remained as strong as iron.
She had to do something, otherwise Cecil would have to face the most cruel thing.
At this time, Li Si also stood up and prepared to help.
At this time, he noticed the abnormality of Ariana.
Ariana's body began to fade, just like a light bulb with poor contact began to flicker.
Wait, what is a light bulb?
Li Si's hand, which was ready to help, suddenly froze in mid-air. The conflict in his thinking made him even forget what to do.
This strange sense of conflict had happened before, but Li Si had subconsciously ignored it.
But now, staying by Ariana's side, his doubts and depression in his heart became more and more intense.
Just when Li Si was confused, Ariana suddenly grabbed Li Si's hand.
The power was so great that Li Si was surprised. How could the elf's tiny arm burst out such power?
"Li Si, remember quickly."
"The Elf King's Court has been destroyed! Destroyed by the Abyss Evil God!"
"I'm dead, everyone in the city is dead, no one is spared!"
"You and Cecil still have a chance, you two still have a chance to escape!"
"Please, Li Si!"
"Take Cecil away, take my daughter away."
Before the words fell, the hand holding Li Si suddenly disappeared.
Arianna's figure had disappeared in the air, leaving only the stunned Cecil and Li Si.
The Elf King's Court has been destroyed, what's going on?
Everyone is dead?
Li Si was stunned in place, and a huge sense of absurdity and conflict instantly engulfed him completely.
He seemed to be about to remember something extremely important.
At this moment, a white illusory light curtain appeared in front of him.
——
Ding~
[You have accepted the legendary task [Escape from the Blood Elf King's Court]! ]
[Legendary Mission: Escape from the Blood Elf King's Court]
[Mission Requirements: The once prosperous and powerful Elf King's Court has completely fallen into blood and destruction. Take Cecil and escape!
[Mission Reward: 1 billion experience points, special expertise (depending on the completion of the mission)]
[Note: My daughter Cecil, you must be happy! ——Ariana Elisir]——
Li Si looked at the light curtain that suddenly appeared in front of him, and his thoughts instantly broke through an invisible film, and all his memories poured in.
He remembered.
He is the arcanist Li Si, he is a person with the legendary talent [Almighty], he is the disciple of the legendary arcanist Stephens!
The environment around Li Si was instantly shattered, and he fainted in the midst of the colorful light.
When he woke up, the surroundings were completely different from before.
The peaceful and tranquil city is no longer seen.
What appeared in front of Li Si was a completely destroyed city.
Just like a cursed purgatory, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, the sticky and stinking smell almost suffocated people. On the street, blood was like a flooded river, covering the ankles, and every step seemed to be stepping into a sticky nightmare.
The blood-red color dyed the whole world into a terrifying color, making it difficult to tell whether it was day or night.
The Elf King's Court was really completely destroyed!
Li Si stood there blankly, with only this thought in his mind.
