Chapter 413: The Girl Wakes Up

Elf Station,

Li Si looked at Ricardo in surprise. He did not expect that the elven elder in front of him would suddenly invite him to the Elf King's Court.

In fact, according to Li Si's original plan, he was not going to delve too deeply into the destruction of the Elf King's Court.

After all, that was the arrangement that the Abyss Prince Demogorgon had planned for many years, and it was very likely to be one of the important fulcrums for the future invasion of the Abyss into the Gaia World.

Unlike the Demon Gate incident in Bingfeng City, if that was the details of all Demogorgon's arrangements, then the destruction of the Elf King's Court was undoubtedly the most important part of his entire planning and arrangement.

Although Li Si did not know why Demogorgon destroyed the Elf King's Court, nor did he know what purpose Demogorgon had caused turmoil similar to Bingfeng City in various parts of the Gaia World?

But Li Si could be sure that Demogorgon was very likely to keep an eye on the Elf King's Court at all times. At this time, the danger of going to the Elf King's Court was simply a big failure of rolling the dice.

Therefore, Li Si was prepared not to reveal any plan about Demogorgon before.

After all, he had no way to explain where he got this information from.

But later, through the intelligence collected by Li Si, as well as the information from the Elf Guards and the Moon Elves, Li Si had to face a problem that he had not noticed before.

That is, he could not determine the specific time of the destruction of the Elf King's Court!

In other words, the Elf King's Court is likely to be suddenly destroyed at some time in the future due to Demogorgon's plan.

After all, from the memory of the previous life, the Elf Kingdom immediately rushed to the ruins of the Elf King's Court after discovering the sudden destruction of the Elf King's Court, but found nothing.

It was during the subsequent continuous search for the ruins of the Royal Court that the elves discovered the [World Tree Sprout] growing in the ruins.

In other words, if Li Si wanted to achieve the ultimate goal of this Green Court and get the [World Tree Sprout], he had to take the [World Tree Sprout] after the destruction of the Elf King's Court and before the Elf Kingdom arrived.

Otherwise, the destruction of the Elf King's Court would inevitably shake the entire Elf Kingdom. As a human being, even if he was recognized by the Elf Goddess, it would be impossible for him to enter the ruins of the Elf King's Court at that time.

Similarly, even if you enter the ruins of the royal court, it is completely impossible to take away the holy object [World Tree Sprout] under the eyes of the elves.

Even if Teacher Stephens comes, it will not work. After all, there are many legendary strongmen in the Elf Kingdom.

For example, the great elven sage Adela is a legendary existence that is not inferior to the teacher.

So Li Si must go further and understand the major event of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court, so that it is possible to seize the extremely short time window to take away the [World Tree Sprout].

At this time, the attack of Cecil by the gold-level assassin with the power of the abyss demon gave Li Si a good opportunity.

It gave Li Si enough reason to point out that the abyss power was involved in the recent events of the Elf Royal Court, so that the elves' attention would be diverted.

Also because of this legitimate reason, Li Si would not be too conspicuous and attract the attention of others, even the Prince of the Abyss hidden in the depths.

Although there is no hope that the Elf Royal Court and the Ilisel family will escape the destruction, it can also buy Li Si enough time and space to operate a little.

Before Li Si told Ricardo about the attack of Cecil by the Abyss Apostle, he had planned to quietly follow and lurk near the Elf King's Court after they returned to the Elf King's Court, waiting for the incident to happen.

Through contact with Cecil, he determined the abnormality of the Elf King's Court.

If possible, Li Si also wanted to try to see if Cecil could avoid the future of death.

In his previous life, Li Si had not heard of Cecil, the elf NPC. Judging from the fact that his father later became hostile to the Elf Kingdom, it is very likely that Cecil and his mother died in the incident of the Elf King's Court.

Even Cecil may not have escaped the pursuit of the Abyss Apostle.

After getting along with each other for these days, Li Si also learned that Cecil was an elf girl who liked quietness, magic and gem inlaying, and he would help her if he could.

However, Li Si could only try his best. He didn't even dare to get too close to the Elf King's Court, fearing that he would be involved in sudden danger.

At this time, Ricardo's invitation to him to the Elf King's Court was indeed a bit unexpected.

Li Si subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he hesitated and did not speak.

For him, this was also a good opportunity.

Mainly, he remembered his clone skill [Mirror Body]. This ability has almost no disadvantages except that it consumes a lot of magic power.

The most important thing is that Li Si can control this clone in real time, even if it is far away.

In this way, Li Si can completely observe everything happening in the Elf King's Court in real time through the mirror body from a distance.

He didn't think of it before because the city of Zhuonuo, as the Elf King's Court, has the most powerful defense force of the elves.

Without permission, it is even difficult for outsiders to approach the location of the Elf King's Court.

Anyway, it's just a mirror body clone. As long as it automatically disperses when the Elf King's Court is destroyed, it shouldn't attract any attention.

After all, the Elf King's Court should be more concerned about those legendary strongmen.

Li Si lowered his head and pondered for a while, looking at Ricardo and asked:

"Thank you for your invitation. The Elf King's Court is also one of the holy places I yearn for."

"However, I heard that the Elf King's Court has been sealed off. Is it appropriate for me to enter at this time?"

Li Si asked indirectly, wanting to get more information.

"No problem. The patriarch has told me that the King's Court has been sealed off. During the time I was away, two more Sun Elves were attacked."

Ricardo sighed and said. Although he didn't go into details, the fate of the two Sun Elves was self-evident.

"In order to stabilize the situation, prevent the attackers from attacking again, and find out the truth as soon as possible, the patriarch had to seal off the entire Elf King's Court. The entire court was under martial law."

As if he felt great shame and deep helplessness, Ricardo sighed, and the old wrinkles on his face squeezed together.

"Excuse me, since the situation has reached such a critical level, why don't you ask for help from the Elf Kingdom?"

"The Elf Guard and the Emerald City don't seem to know what happened in the Elf King's Court."

Li Si asked with some curiosity, which was also the strangest thing about him.

After all, in the previous life, there was no information about the attack on the elves of the Ellysir family in the Elf King Court, which shows how tightly the Ellysir family blocked this matter.

If he had not learned the relevant information from Cecil and even killed an attacker, Ricardo in front of him would not even tell him.

"No."

Ricardo flatly refused, and it seemed that he had a lot of resistance to the Elf Kingdom.

"Who knows if there are other families behind the attack on Ilysir this time? Even if the Elf King Court that the family finally has, they also want it. This is absolutely intolerable."

This situation seems to be very complicated in the Elf Kingdom!

Li Si noticed that Ricardo was a little angry in front of him, and he had a guess in his heart.

Words from other families in the Elf Kingdom

The Moon Elf family has always lived in the Elf Country, and a small number of Moon Elves will serve the Elf Gods in various temples and altars in the Elf Kingdom.

They rarely participate in the ruling system of the Elf Kingdom, and they should not be those Moon Elves.

The other ordinary elf families have little influence on the Elf Kingdom, and they are basically gathered in the Emerald City, a more free and open city.

The Kaldor here refers to other Sun Elf families.

The Vishan family among the Sun Elves is quite low-key, rarely appears in the eyes of the world, and is almost not interested in the Elf Kingdom.

That leaves only the Alorotti family, the most powerful Sun Elf family.

Most of the kings of the Elf Kingdom are from the Alorotti family, especially the recent Elf Kings.

The status of the Alorotti family in the Elf Capital is similar to that of the Ilisel family in the Elf King's Court.

So, the competition between the two Sun Elf families is also quite fierce, and they are even worried that the other party will do something to their family members.

If this is the case, it is understandable not to tell the Elf Kingdom. After all, what is the difference between this and inviting the mastermind to come?

Li Si shook his head slightly, and could only say that the elves are not as harmonious and peaceful as they appear on the surface, and there are many struggles and chaos in the dark.

However, this time, the Ilisel family should have guessed wrong, which may be one of the reasons for the destruction of the Elf King's Court?

"Sir Ricardo, please forgive me. I can't decide whether to go to the Elf King's Court or not."

"When will you set off to return to the Elf King's Court?"

Li Si had an idea in mind. He wanted to collect more information before Ricardo and his team went to the Elf King's Court to see if he could get more clues.

Then he would decide whether he needed to take the risk to go to the Elf King's Court.

To be honest, although he knew about the changes in the Elf King's Court and the reasons for the self-isolation of the Elf King's Court from the Elf Elder Ricardo, Li Si always had a strange feeling of unreality for some reason.

Obviously, the decisions made by the Ilisel family were all reasonable, but it was this state of common sense that made Li Si feel something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"It's okay, Lord Li Si."

"There is one last member of the Ilisel family returning, and we are ready to return to the Elf King's Court."

"But he is in the human kingdom in the north, and it will take more than a month for him to get here."

Ricardo nodded, and then smiled bitterly:

"In fact, if there is really no other way, I would not think of bothering you, Lord Li Si."

"The clan leader said that if there is no progress, we can only ask the moon elves in the Elf Land for help."

Li Si did not think much about it. After all, as an outsider, even if he felt strange, he had no idea to change the decision of the Ilisel family.

Although Ricardo in front of him was relatively friendly to him because of the relationship with the Elf Goddess, the other party was an elf with more conservative ideas and could not accept Li Si's advice at all.

"Then I will visit again later!"

Li Si nodded and stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Ricardo did not continue to keep him and sent Li Si out the door.

The elf guards on the side were a little surprised. They didn't know what the identity of the human youth in front of them was, and Elder Ricardo paid so much attention to him.

Cecil was a little reluctant to leave. After all, she had been with Li Si for these days and had already regarded Li Si as her true friend.

However, Ricardo did not allow her to live outside the elves' settlement. Now, every elf with the blood of the Ilisel family is extremely important to them.

Even if they were given legendary protective items, they could not be completely assured. After all, legendary items could only resist one attack at most. Who knows how many people would attack in secret?

After saying goodbye to Cecil, Li Si left.

Since he was going to collect some intelligence during this period, he had to hurry up.

He was unfamiliar with the Bolin Kingdom now. The intelligence he got from the Mercenary Guild and the Assassin Guild was probably useless as before. The best way was to find a local figure with greater influence.

For example, His Majesty Burns, the Prince of the Blood Clan.

Li Si felt the mark he had planted before and walked in that direction.

——

Acot City, Burns Family Mansion,

This is a special mansion standing on a separate hillside on the edge of the city.

The reason why it is special is that this mansion is different from the elf-style buildings in the entire city. It is more like an ancient castle forgotten in history.

The castle is shrouded in a thick layer of dark tones, as if it is a trace of erosion by time. The stone walls are mottled, and the old bricks are glowing coldly in the moonlight, as if telling the endless vicissitudes of life. The windows of the castle are closed and the curtains are heavy, as if they are rejecting the prying of the outside world, and also as if they are guarding some secrets.

In this dark tone, the castle looks more mysterious and weird, as if it is a forgotten corner, quietly waiting for a brave explorer to unveil its veil.

If it weren't for the fact that the castle has been dressed in solemn servants going in and out to take care of it, others might really think that this is a forgotten haunted house.

But the name of the Burns family, although not familiar to most people in the Kingdom of Bolin, is a well-known and mysterious existence among the nobles of the entire kingdom.

As one of the few duke families in the Kingdom of Bolin, the Burns family rarely appears in front of others. Most of the time, they just stay in the family residence, and they don't seem to be interested in the power and wealth of the kingdom.

However, no one dared to provoke this family. There were also ignorant people who offended the Burns family, and he and his family disappeared overnight.

At this time, others would remember that the Burns family was the only noble family that existed since the establishment of the Bolin Kingdom. There were even rumors that the history of the Burns family was longer than that of the royal family of the Bolin Kingdom.

Even the Bolin royal family was respectful to the Burns family and never asked about the Burns family for countless years.

It was also for this reason that no one dared to offend the Burns family, and even the name of this family became a taboo.

However, recently, this name appeared again among the nobles of Akote City.

There was no other reason, just because an heir of the Burns family suddenly appeared in Akote City.

What's more curious is that this is a white-haired girl with a cold temperament and extremely beautiful. Even many noble children fell in love with her when they first saw her.

In the quiet bedroom of Burns Mansion,

a white-haired girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old was sleeping peacefully on the big bed, and her gentle breathing reflected the tranquility of the place at this time.

The dim light of the setting sun shone through the half-closed curtains, sprinkled on her beautiful and flawless face and silver hair, as if she was covered with a mysterious veil. Her hair was soft and delicate, rising and falling gently with her breathing, with a kind of tranquil beauty.

The girl was wearing a simple and thin blood-red pajamas. The pajamas were tailored just right, fitting tightly to her graceful figure. The scarlet blood color appeared more vivid and deep under the sunlight, as if flowing with the vitality of life. The collar of the pajamas was slightly open, revealing her delicate clavicle and slender neck, which looked elegant and charming.

The slender and delicate legs were as white and flawless as two ivory tusks. The sunlight gently sprinkled on her legs, reflecting the delicateness and luster of her skin. The thin blanket gently covered her body, as soft as a cloud, which seemed to add a bit of charm and mystery.

The whole bedroom was immersed in a quiet and warm atmosphere, as if even the air was filled with the fragrance of the girl. This white-haired girl was like a princess in a fairy tale, sleeping in her own dream, waiting for a brave prince to wake her up.

"Hmm~~~"

Not long after, the girl rolled on the bed like a kitten who had just woken up, lying on the bed and slowly arching her waist in the air, stretching her waist lazily and long.

The girl who sat up yawned lightly, stretched out her slender white arms forward, and bent her body into an elegant arc, showing the lightness and beauty of the girl's body.

The girl blinked confusedly, looked at the gradually dimming sunlight outside the window, rubbed her stomach with her little hands, and then came back to her senses:

"I'm hungry."

Should I continue to attend the party invited by those nobles?

The girl tilted her head and hesitated.

In her opinion, those courteous nobles were too weak, and each of them had bad intentions.

The whole party was boring, except that the food at the party was good, which was the only motivation for her to accept the invitation.

But even so, she has been tired of eating recently and can't help but miss the time in Cangguang City.

It was so good back then, there were endless delicious food every day, it was much more interesting than now!

After waiting for a while, the girl, whose stomach protested, got up. She planned to go to the kitchen of the mansion to find something to eat today.

Dude~

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the maid's respectful voice came from outside the door.

"Lady Angela, I'm disturbing your rest."

"A guest of yours is here."

The maid's voice paused for a while and continued:

"The man who claims to be Mr. Li Si from Bright City."

Boom!

As soon as the maid finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the bedroom. The maid was startled and quickly opened the door to check the situation.

Nothing will happen to Angela-sama, right?

Just when the maid opened the door, she saw a white figure flashing in front of her.

Following the thumping of footsteps, the girl's figure ran downstairs, her crisp voice revealing surprise.

"Lee Si!"
