Chapter 445: World Tree Phantom and Cognitive Bias

Elven Royal Court, Ilisel Family,

After coming out of Pompeii's room, Li Si followed Ricardo downstairs.

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

Ricardo glanced at the golden ring on Li Si's hand, sighed slightly and said:

"But I think Patriarch Pompeii is right, and now you may be the most suitable person 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 Elven Royal Court is relatively normal. With the back-up prepared in advance, safety should still be no problem.

When Li Si and Ricardo came down from the magic elevator, they saw several elves with the same golden hair and golden eyes coming in from outside.

"Elder Ricardo, long time no see."

One of the elf youths looked at Ricardo and said.

Ricardo nodded:

"Long time no see, Xifu."

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

Because of the destruction of the Elven Royal Court in the previous life, basically no players had in-depth contact with the plot related to the Elven Royal Court.

Li Si did not recognize the Sun Elves in front of him, but the Sun Elves named Xifu also exuded a very impressive aura.

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

"Who is this?"

Xifu looked at Li Si standing side by side with Ricardo and asked with a smile.

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

Ricardo 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 noticing the ring on Li Si's hand, the smile on his face became even warmer.

"Hello."

Li Si shook hands with the Sun Elves indifferently. He felt that the Sun Elves in front of him gave him a strange feeling.

He was now wary of everyone in the Elf King's Court, even Ricardo and the Chief of Pompeii.

Seeing this, Xifu did not entangle too much. He simply chatted with Ricardo for a few words and left.

Watching Xifu and several Sun Elves leaving, Li Si said to Ricardo:

"The guy just now seems to be quite powerful!"

"It's worthy of the Ilisel family!"

Riccardo shook his head and said:

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

Did Xifu give him that strange feeling just now because he didn't care about the possible attack?

Li Si felt something was wrong. When he was in Akote City, he learned from Ricardo that the Ilisel family Sun Elves were facing attacks, and he thought the situation in the Elf King's Court was already quite bad.

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

This is different from the severity and urgency of this matter that Ricardo showed before.

It made Li Si feel a little torn.

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

But even if there are those reasons, it always feels a bit wrong to hand over such an important matter to the Elf King Court to Li Si.

"Let's go, Lord Li Si."

Ricardo said to Li Si:

"You must have worked hard on this journey. I will take you to a place to rest."

"This matter has been so many days, there is no rush, not to mention that Chief Pompeii also said that the triggering of the effect of the [Precognition Ring] also requires a certain opportunity."

Li Si nodded and followed Ricardo out.

At this time, in a dark place in the Ilisel Tower, a pair of eyes were staring at Li Si and Ricardo who were walking out.

The eyes were firmly locked on Li Si.

"Li Si?"

"What a tricky little guy, did he guess something?"

"In that case, we can't do it now."

"There is the breath of Stephens, it's really troublesome!"

After a moment, the darkness here returned to calm again, but a hint of blood was faintly revealed in the deep darkness.

Came to a courtyard in the east of the Elf King's Court.

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

"Li Si, this is the place where our Ilisel family receives distinguished guests. It's okay for you to rest here during this period of time."

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

Ricardo introduced Li Si.

In fact, with his status, he doesn't have to do these things at all.

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

Elves are proud, and the sun elves are 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 the case with Xifu, and even more so with Ricardo.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Elder Ricardo."

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

After a few polite words, Ricardo got up and left.

After Ricardo walked away, Li Si first briefly checked the situation in the house, and then sat at the table to review today's experience.

It's better to be careful in a place like the Elf King's Court.

To be honest, everything I saw and heard today made Li Si feel a little unclear.

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

Just give it to me like this?

With this ring, can you really find out who is the mastermind?

Li Si didn't quite believe it. Let him wear the ring and wander around the Elf King's Court, waiting to trigger the effect to find clues about the mastermind?

This method always feels a bit child's play.

With the elf legend sitting in the palace and the power left by the elf gods, they actually pinned their hopes on him, a human?

Or, in fact, the Pompeii Patriarch secretly prepared many plans to find clues, and he was just a member of the plan?

How can I get more information?

Should I do what the Pompeii chief asked me to do first?

Li Si pondered in his heart, and his right hand subconsciously swiped in front of him.

Hmm?

Li Si suddenly stopped and looked at his right hand that was stagnant in the air.

What am I doing?

Somehow, the feeling of disharmony before appeared in Li Si's heart again.

It was like when chatting with others, I wanted to say something and suddenly my mind went blank.

Somewhat disgusting, some uncomfortable.

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

Sure enough, something seemed to be wrong!

Li Si's heart tightened. The abnormality of the Elf King's Court made him feel as if he had fallen into the story of the Arabian Nights. Everything seemed normal but full of weird atmosphere.

Should we retreat now?

Li Si hesitated for a moment, but stopped the idea.

He felt a lot of abnormalities on the first day alone.

Although he had not yet gone to other places in the Elf King's Court, it was estimated that there would be a lot of things wrong.

Let's not talk about Pompeii for now. I don't know why Ricardo didn't react at all.

Is this the result of Ricardo being contaminated by the power of the abyss?

So, is the entire Elf King 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 Court.

But now Li Si was unwilling to leave, one because he had prepared emergency measures and was sure to leave the Elf King Court safely before the danger came.

The second reason was that he had just tried to get in touch with the secret of the destruction of the Elf King Court, and he was unwilling to leave now.

Then all the preparations made before would have failed.

No hurry, although something was wrong, it should be some time before the destruction of the Elf King Court.

Li Si thought silently in his heart that if possible, he still wanted to save Cecil as much as possible.

Even if Cecil in the previous life did not die under the assassination of the assassin, she certainly did not escape the destruction of the Elf King Court.

It was because of the death of Cecil and her mother that the Elf Sword Saint became so emotional.

For Li Si, saving Cecil is also a way to make friends with the future legendary swordsman.

Of course, more importantly, Li Si himself wants to help this strong elf girl.

Let's take it one step at a time

Li Si thought silently in his heart and stood up.

After stretching his body, Li Si twisted his neck and walked out of the house.

Let's practice martial arts!

If I don't practice martial arts for a day, I feel that the whole person is not right.

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

The next day, in the Elf King's Court,

Early in the morning, Ricardo came over and prepared to walk around the King's Court with Li Si to try to trigger the effect of the [Precognition Ring].

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

Although it was a bit of a waste of talent to let an elf elder be his guide, Li Si was indeed not familiar with the Elf King's Court.

Li Si was particularly interested in some places in the Elven King's Court, so it was good to have Ricardo, the elder of the Ilisel family, accompany him.

At least there was no need to worry about being stopped by others when going to some places.

"Is this the World Tree Altar?"

Li Si was now in the center of the Elven King's Court, Dronor City, and sighed at the scene in front of him.

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

There are no buildings in the core area of ​​the Elven King's Court, Dronor City. An ancient altar with a very wide area lies quietly here.

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

The blue-gray stone bricks that make up the altar seem to bear the traces of time, eroded by wind and rain, but reveal a kind of vicissitudes of beauty. Between those bricks, there seems to be the laughter of the elves, or the whispers of their pious prayers.

The few stone pillars left on the altar, like guardian gods, have stood firm for thousands of years. Although their bodies are broken, their majesty and power 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 one 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 brick and every stone pillar is 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 transcended time and space.

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

Li Si could feel the faint and pure breath of divine power enveloping this ancient altar. Perhaps it was because of the protection of the elf gods that this altar was preserved.

Looking at this ancient altar, Li Si seemed to have seen a huge tree that blocked out the sun and covered the sky. It stood alone in the wasteland, but it seemed so full of vitality.

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

Its branches were as thick and solid as mountains and rivers, like the arms of a warrior holding up the whole sky; and its branches and leaves were 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 mottled light and shadows, accompanied by the tender green essence of life dripping from the canopy, it is like a flowing waterfall of light that sprinkles light and hope on the earth, like drizzle moistening the heart, so that the barren land can also bloom with vitality.

After a moment, Li Si woke up from the illusion.

Is this the world tree Yggdrasil?

Born at the beginning of the Gaia world, the existence that breeds the vitality of the whole world?

Ricardo stood beside Li Si, 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 where the mother of the World Tree once took root. This time and space are branded with special traces, which have never dissipated for tens of millions of years."

"Sure enough, it is shocking!"

Li Si nodded, his heart full of emotion.

This can be regarded as a miracle!

When he saw the World Tree, it seemed as if the whole person was immersed in the river of time, and the perspective was infinitely elevated.

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

Ding~

A crisp sound rang in Li Si's ears, but he did not react at all.

If the [New Buds of the World Tree] will appear on the ruins of the Elf King's Court, this altar in front of him is most likely to appear here, right?

Li Si looked at the ancient altar in front of him, and he was looking forward to it.

Sure enough, the choice to come to the Elf King's Court was correct, and witnessing this miracle was worth the trip.

All that's left is to find the guy who attacked the Sun Elves, and this journey will be complete!

Li Si thought to himself, not realizing that his perception had once again deviated.
