Chapter 436: Daphne Is a Little Special
The Emerald City,
Li Si looked at the two of them curiously and asked with a smile:
"Are you going shopping?"
Daphne nodded and said happily:
"Of course, I was brought back by Sister Xander before, but I was imprisoned for a long time!"
"It's so boring. Even though I finally got out, you still won't let me go out."
Xander shook her head and said helplessly:
"You also said that the trouble you caused by running around wasn't big enough?"
"If you hadn't met Mr. Li Si, you wouldn't have known where you were caught!"
"Master Harold has been very tolerant of you, otherwise you would be taken back to the land of elves now."
Daphne was speechless for a moment. She was a little embarrassed and took Xander's hand, and said coquettishly:
"I understand, Sister Xindel, I will never run around again next time!"
"Stop talking about me. I finally came out."
Xander didn't pay attention to Daphne's play, looked at Li Si and said:
"Mr. Li Si, I didn't expect to meet you here?"
"But why haven't you seen Cecile?"
Li Si nodded and explained:
"Cecile went to visit his father, and I'm going to have a nice stroll in the Emerald City."
"I have always heard about the prosperity of the Emerald City, so I just took this opportunity to visit it."
"That's it. I think you will definitely like this place when you come to Li Si!"
Xander smiled softly and said in a positive tone.
It seemed that the elf in front of him was very proud of the prosperity of the Emerald City.
"Maybe it's the goddess's will to meet you here!"
"This is Li Si's first time coming to the Jade City. Why don't I treat you to a taste of the Jade City's delicacies? You won't be disappointed!"
"I also want to express my gratitude to you, Li Si. If Daphne is really taken away by those people, the consequences will be troublesome."
When Daphne heard this, she nodded again and again.
She had been living in the land of elves before and had little contact with other races.
Even in the Emerald City, Daphne felt a little uncomfortable when many humans looked at her.
But Li Si would not be like this, maybe because Li Si saved Daphne, which made Daphne feel that Li Si did not have bad intentions for her like some humans.
Moreover, after Li Si rescued Daphne, the knowledge he displayed during the chat made Daphne very interesting.
This human is handsome and speaks nicely. I like him very much!
"Oh well."
Li Si saw this and did not refuse.
Anyway, he has nothing else to do at this time, and he won't be able to get the legendary lich ring in a short time.
In the Emerald City, Li Si did have some plans, but those things would have to be done after the matters at the Elf King's Court.
The most important thing he faced now was the Elf King's Court.
After a while, under the leadership of Xander, several people came to a place called Oak Bar. It was some distance away from the bustling commercial street and seemed a little quieter.
Pushing open the wooden door and walking in, a fresh scent of light wine and flowers hit your face. Chandeliers made of woven vines hang from the ceiling, emitting a soft and warm glow. Various strange and exquisite elf paintings and ancient musical instruments hang on the walls, as if telling legendary stories of the elf world.
Comfortable seats and soft emerald carpets are placed around the tavern. The carpet is embroidered with various flowers and vines, as if the vitality of the entire forest is condensed here.
In this elf tavern, time seemed to become slow and leisurely, and the relaxing and melodious music sounded softly. Li Si enjoyed this rare tranquility and harmony.
Xander took Li Si and Daphne to sit down next to the tavern and said with a smile:
“This is a place I usually like to come, and I hope you will like it too.”
“Really a nice place.”
Li Si nodded and said. There were not many people in the store at this time, and besides Li Si, there were no customers other than elves.
The decoration in the store is also very exquisite, and the soft lights and music seem to be the effects of special magic props.
Daphne was very curious and looked around.
After a while, the elf waiter brought the dishes ordered by Xander.
The colorful fruit and vegetable platter is a specialty of the Elf Forest. The extremely fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables are cut into small pieces, rich in color, and topped with sauces made from honey, lemon juice, etc. to add some flavor.
The various exquisite and delicious pastries are not to be missed. The pastries made by the elf bakers have different shapes, some are like delicate flowers, and some are like small mushrooms. They are made with a variety of natural ingredients, such as honey, dried fruits, jams, etc., and have rich and diverse tastes.
Because wheat does not grow in the Elf Forest, but these pastries made from flour are also one of the elves' favorite delicacies, so wheat has become the most common cargo carried by caravans traveling to and from the Elf Forest.
In addition to fruit and vegetable platters and pastries, the Elf Tavern also has other elf-style (vegetarian) dishes, and they all taste really good.
Li Si knew something about the food of the elves in his previous game, so he was not surprised by this.
However, what surprised Li Si was the emerald green fruit wine in the Elf Tavern. This fruit wine was brewed from fruits unique to the forest. It was as green as jade and crystal clear.
The crystal wine glass was gently shaken, exuding a faint fruity and wine aroma, which made people intoxicated.
While enjoying the food, Li Si, Cinderella and Daphne chatted about some of their experiences on the journey.
Daphne seemed to like this kind of fruit wine very much. After drinking more, her little face was flushed, and she fell asleep on Cinderella in a short while.
Cinderella looked at Daphne, feeling helpless.
The alcohol content in this kind of fruit wine is very low, so she did not restrict Daphne.
But Daphne was drunk unexpectedly, and it seems that she can't drink in the future.
After thinking about it, Cinderella said to Li Si:
"I wanted to invite you to my place today, but Daphne may not be able to do it like this."
"Her elders are also there, and they said before that they wanted to thank you, Li Si."
"It's okay, I'll visit you again when I have time later!"
"Don't Daphne and the others have to stay in the Emerald City for a while?"
Li Si waved his hand and said with a smile.
When chatting just now, Xiandel did not avoid Li Si and simply told him about Daphne's situation.
Daphne came from the secret realm of the Elf Kingdom [Elfland], and her identity was not ordinary. As a moon elf, she seemed to be very valued and had always been watched very closely, so she ran out secretly this time.
Xiandel was quite surprised when she knew that Li Si was going to the Elf King's Court. After all, there must be something wrong with the Elf King's Court, otherwise it would not be self-sealed.
However, if the Elf King's Court did not ask for help from the Emerald City, the Emerald City would not intervene directly.
I didn't expect that Li Si would follow the team of the Ilisel family and prepare to enter the Elf King's Court.
Xiandel could only remind Li Si to be careful. After all, it was not convenient for her to tell Li Si too much about the disputes within the Elf Kingdom.
Li Si had already prepared for this, and thanked Xiandel for her concern.
On the way to Cecil's house, Li Si pondered what Xiandel had just said.
For some reason, Li Si always felt that Xiandel was a little strange when talking about Daphne, as if Daphne's identity was a little sensitive, and some things were not convenient to tell Li Si.
And although Xiandel had a good relationship with Daphne, he seemed to attach great importance to Daphne.
But it was also true that from the previous communication with Daphne, he called the great sage of the elves Adela as his sister. That person was an absolute powerhouse in the legend and the messenger of the elf gods. Daphne's identity must be extraordinary.
And for some reason, when Li Si was with Daphne, he always felt that there was always an inexplicable attraction to this elf girl.
Li Si could be sure that this feeling was not because he was attracted by her beauty. Although the moon elf Daphne was indeed young and beautiful, Li Si's mind had been tempered and would not be so easily fluctuated.
Sure enough, Daphne, the elf girl, was very special!
However, Li Si did not have the idea of exploring in depth now, and the matter of the Elf King's Court was more urgent.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Si walked towards Cecil's house.
When Li Si saw Cecil, the girl's eyes were red, as if she had cried.
"What happened?"
Li Si was silent for a moment and asked.
"It's okay, let's go back."
Cecil shook her head and said to Li Si.
She hadn't seen her father for a long time. Today, she finally had a chance to have a good chat with her father, Igli.
After telling his father Igli what happened in the Elf King's Court and Elder Ricardo's preparations, Igli was very worried.
It was obvious that someone was secretly targeting the Ilisel family, and Cecil was completely implicated.
Igli wanted Cecil to stay in the Emerald City and not go to the Elf King's Court.
But Cecil refused.
Although she knew that her father was doing it for her own good, Cecil felt that this would not solve the problem.
She had been attacked on the way from Nelin City to Akot City, which meant that she had been targeted by those people.
The other party dared to take action in the Elf King's Court, how could they give up because of the Emerald City or her father?
Of course, if Igli stays with Cecil all the time, there will be no problem.
After all, the name of the Wind Sword Saint is a name that Igli earned by fighting with the sword in his hand, but strength cannot solve everything.
Otherwise, how could the legendary masters of the Elf King's Court be helpless against this sudden incident and could only passively take the beating?
Cecil didn't want to delay her father's business, so she asked him to stay with her all the time.
And she felt that Ricardo's serious and cautious attitude along the way also proved that the elder of the Ilisel family was indeed doing his best to protect them.
After all, there have been so many attacks on the Japanese elves, and the Ilisel family is now focusing all their energy on protecting their safety.
Therefore, Cecil felt that if she went to the Elf King's Court, her safety should be guaranteed.
It is impossible that the Elf King's Court, as the most important place in the Elf Kingdom, would have problems, right?
Of course, in addition to this, Cecil had another reason to persuade Igli, which was to visit her mother who lived in the Elf King's Court.
Although Cecil gained precious freedom due to his father's struggle, Ariana, Cecil's mother, did not have such an opportunity.
She had to stay in the Elven King's Court to preserve the dignity of the Ilithel family.
For the safety of her husband and daughter, Ariana finally chose to obey the family's request.
Igli only had the opportunity to go to the Elf King's Court to see Ariana occasionally, and Cecil had never seen his mother since leaving the Elf King's Court.
Cecil still missed her mother very much, which is why Cecil did not have much resistance to going to the Elf King's Court, Drano City this time.
Igli had no choice but to respect Cecil's choice.
Although so many things happened that made Igli very worried, the Ilisel family, as one of the three major solar elf families in the Elf Kingdom, was still quite powerful.
Otherwise, he would not have resisted so hard at the beginning.
After telling Cecil a few words, Igli looked at Li Si and said:
"Mr. Li Si, I'll trouble you with Cecil's affairs."
For Li Si, although there were some embarrassing misunderstandings before, Igli still believed in Li Si's strength.
More importantly, Cecil had a high opinion of Li Si, which made Igli feel jealous unconsciously.
"It should be."
Li Si nodded and said nothing more.
To be honest, the place with the most plots and opportunities in the entire Elf Kingdom is the Emerald City. Li Si remembered that in the early and middle stages of his previous life, almost all the plots involving the Elf Kingdom were related to the Emerald City.
The place where Li Si stayed the longest was also the Emerald City, so he was quite familiar with Igli, the leader of the Elf Guard. Making friends with him was very helpful for Li Si's subsequent plans.
However, Igli in his previous life was not as normal as he is now, perhaps because his wife Ariana and daughter Cecil died because of the destruction of the Elf King's Court, which almost became his obsession later.
All Li Si could do was to protect Cecil as much as possible.
To be honest, Li Si was a little pessimistic about the current situation of the Elf King's Court.
No matter from which aspect, under Demogorgon's plan, the destruction of the Elf King's Court was almost irreversible.
Especially the legendary vampire Benfica appeared in the Bolin Kingdom and attacked him and Angela. Many signs showed that he was related to the changes in the Elf King's Court.
But Benfica left the Elven Court and appeared in the Bolin Kingdom. Could it be that Demogorgon's conspiracy against the Elven Court has almost come to an end?
Li Si always felt that the curtain of Demogorgon's plan had been lifted in front of him, but it seemed that there was a great terror hidden behind the curtain.
Li Si did not talk about these things with Igli, but just walked towards the residence of the Ilisel family with Cecil.
