I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 412: The Elf Elder and the Secret of the Royal Court
Arcot City, the elf settlement,
Li Si looked at the old elf who walked in, feeling a little curious.

He was wearing a platinum robe, which was like moonlight pouring down. It was obviously made of the top-grade special materials, and after advanced enchantments, it was equivalent to a high-level magic equipment.

The old elf's face was covered with wrinkles, which were deeply engraved on his face like ancient tree bark, recording the vicissitudes of time. His long golden hair was delicately groomed and draped behind him, and his bright golden eyes were full of traces left by the years.

Elves are a long-lived species. An elf like this has gone through countless years and is about to reach the end of its life.

Usually, elves of this age would stay deep in the Elf Forest, quietly waiting for the end to come, waiting for their souls to ascend to the kingdom of the elven gods.
The old elf who walked in, although old, still walked steadily, and was surrounded by a strong magical pressure.

He is actually a gold-level wizard, and quite powerful, although not as strong as the Cinderella Valdivia whom I met before.

Li Si knew what was going on and stood aside without saying anything.

When Cecil saw the old elf come in, she quickly stood up and bowed.

"Elder, hello!"

The old elf also saw Cecil, frowned slightly and looked a little unhappy, but still said:
"You must be Cecile Arce, right? I didn't expect you to come here so quickly."

Nodding to Cecil, the old elf walked to the chair and prepared to sit down.

At this moment, the old elf noticed Li Si behind Cecil and was stunned for a moment.

"Who is this"

The old elf was a little unsure and asked hesitantly in his aged voice.

"This is Lord Lis Kane, who protected me all the way from Nelin City to here."

As if she had thought of something, Cecil quickly added:

"Lord Li Si once helped an elf and was blessed by the goddess Fenriya."

"So that's it."

The old elf's expression became serious. He clenched his left fist in front of his chest and bowed slightly to Li Si.

"Mr. Li Si, it's an honor to meet you here."

"May the glory of the goddess Fenriya always protect your future!"

"You're welcome."

Li Si was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly and said with a smile.

"Don't know what to call you?"

"I am Ricardo Elisir, and I welcome you here as a guest."

Ricardo looked at Li Si and said, a smile appeared on his stern old face.

After a brief greeting, the three of them sat down in the chairs and enjoyed the exquisite pastries that had been prepared.

Li Si noticed Ricardo's attitude towards him and had some idea in his mind.

There is no doubt that the Ricardo in front of him is an important member of the Ilithel Sun Elf family and a sun elf with pure blood.

From Cecilia's previous experience and Ricardo's attitude when he entered the door just now, it can be seen that the sun elves of the Iliseel family seem to be rather old-fashioned, somewhat like those antiques among the human nobles.

For this reason, even though it had been a long time since the incident, their attitude towards Cecil was still not very good.

But at the same time, because they respect and believe in the elves and gods, they are indeed quite nice to Li Si, who has the blessing of the elf goddess.

It has to be said that the contrast is quite obvious.

Even Li Si did not expect this situation to happen, but he did not mind. After all, it was also good for him. He might be able to get more information about the Elf Royal Court.

“Elder Ricardo, I wonder why you asked me to come to Arcot City?”

After Cecile sat down, she asked Ricardo.

This was what puzzled her in her heart. What had happened to cause the Sun Elf family Ilithel to make such a big fuss?

Cecil learned from the moon elf Daphne she met by chance that even the elven kingdom of Tindrono was closed, which made her feel uneasy.

Especially when she was attacked by the gold-level assassin, the fear in Cecil's heart grew stronger.

It was because Li Si had always been by her side that she felt at ease.

Ricardo did not answer directly, but looked at Li Si hesitantly.

This is a secret of their Ilithel family and even of the Elf Royal Court. Even though Li Si has obtained the approval of the goddess Fenrir, he is not very confident in telling these secrets to Li Si.

Li Si noticed Ricardo's expression. If it was something else, he might have just left, but not in this case.

This may be closely related to the destruction of the Elf King's Court, and he cannot miss the opportunity to get follow-up intelligence from Ricardo.

"I heard from Cecil that someone would attack the Sun Elves. This time when we were traveling through the Elf Forest, we encountered a gold-level assassin who was trying to kill Cecil, but I stopped him."

"There is actually a gold-level assassin preparing to assassinate Cecil?"

Ricardo's face changed, and he could no longer care about other things. He quickly looked at Cecil:

"You were attacked by someone. By whom?"

Cecil was a little nervous and looked at Li Si without saying anything.

"No, I killed that gold-level assassin. He didn't say anything before he died."

"Is that so?"

Ricardo's face darkened when he heard this, as if he remembered something important.

"Mr. Li Si, did you notice anything unusual at that time?"

After thinking for a moment, Ricardo looked at Li Si and asked.

"Forgive my offense, because this matter is indeed very important to our Irisel family?"

"Can you please let me know why you care so much about this?"

"Why did those people attack Cecil? Has the same thing happened before?"

In response to Li Si's question, Ricardo was silent for a moment, as if he was struggling over whether to tell Li Si these secrets.

Finally, Ricardo clenched his right hand tightly, his wrinkled face full of seriousness.

"Mr. Li Si, you are someone recognized by the goddess Fenria, and you are also involved in Cecil's affairs."

"I will not continue to hide these secrets from you, but these secrets are related to the safety of the Irisel family. I hope you will not tell these secrets to others after listening to them."

Looking at Ricardo's serious expression, Li Si didn't care and nodded to make a promise.

Ricardo sighed, leaned back on the rattan chair, was silent for a while, and then said as if he was having trouble starting:

"That happened half a year ago. A horrific case occurred in the Elf King's Court."

"A member of the Ilisel family disappeared and there was no news for more than ten days. No one cared at first, until someone went to visit him and found him dead at home."

"Is there something wrong with the elf's death?"

Li Si nodded and asked softly.

"Yes."

Ricardo looked grim and continued:
"When the elf was found, his face was horrified, as if he had faced something extremely terrifying. At the same time, his body was shrunken, and all the blood in his body had disappeared."

“All the blood disappeared”

Li Si muttered to himself, thinking of the [Source Blood Crystal] he got from the storage ring of the gold-level assassin. It seems that the same force should have made a move, and the target is the blood in the bodies of those sun elves.

"From what you mean, the same thing happened again later?"

"Ah."

Ricardo nodded and said gloomily:
"After all, it was the death of a Sun Elf, and the cause of death was unclear. Of course, the Elf King's Court had to conduct a detailed investigation at the time."

"But no matter what, we haven't found the person who did it, and we haven't found any clues."

Ricardo showed a frustrated look on his face, and Li Si also noticed it.

But it is also true that the Iliseel family, as the one that controls the Elf King's Court, is naturally the most powerful force in the city. There were actually people in the Elf King's Court who dared to attack the Iliseel family's Sun Elves and extract their blood, which was simply a complete disgrace to the Iliseel family.

"After that incident, Chief Pompeii summoned most of the Elf King's forces to search, but in the end they returned empty-handed."

The elf elder in front of him said helplessly that he was one of the participants at that time and was also angry about it.

Every member of the Iliseel family is extremely precious. The Sun Elves are equivalent to the high and mighty royal family in the Elf Kingdom. Who would have thought that there would be such a bold person who would attack the members of the Iliseel family.

Unfortunately, the Ilisel family had no idea what to do, and no matter what means they used, they couldn't find any clues.

Even if a legendary expert took action, it was still fruitless, as if the elf had committed suicide. "Just one month later, when everyone in the Elf King's Court was about to give up, a similar case occurred again."

"He was also a descendant of the Ilith family. When he was found, he was hung on a big tree beside the road to the Elf King's Court. All the blood in his body was gone."

"After that, the same thing happened many times, and the perpetrator was never caught."

"The people who attacked the Sun Elves, did they do it for the Sun Elves' bloodline?"

Listening to Ricardo's description, Li Si nodded.

If this is true, then it's no wonder that the Ilisel family reacted so exaggeratedly.

Although the Ilithel family is a family of sun elves, due to the special nature of its bloodline, there are not many members in the entire family, and they can even be considered rare.

The bizarre deaths of many sun elves were simply a provocation to the Ilissa family, and also greatly affected the strength and future of the Ilissa family.

"I don't know."

Ricardo didn't look happy, but he still answered.

"If someone really wanted to obtain the Sun Elf bloodline of the Ilissair family, there was no need to kill so many people."

"Besides, isn't he afraid of being discovered by us?"

Ricardo said angrily, his face flushed, not like an old man.

It seems that this series of attacks has indeed made the Ilissel family very angry.

There have been cases in the past where outsiders have tried to seize the bloodline of the Sun Elves. This is not uncommon in the history of the Elf Kingdom.

It's not just the alien races, even the Elf Kingdom itself is not a monolithic entity, there are also people who covet the legendary Sun Elf bloodline.

It is also for this reason that the Ilissel family was not very panicked when they discovered the first incident, but as the situation deteriorated uncontrollably, they eventually became highly nervous.

The most important thing is that the mastermind behind the incident has not been found, which is a big headache for the Ilissel family.

This was a very un-magical thing. In the Elf King's Court, the base camp of the Iliseel family, where there were also legendary masters in charge, several sun elves were killed openly without any trace being discovered.

This was simply unthinkable before.

"Then why are you here and why did you ask Cecil to come here as well?"

Li Si continued to ask, but he already had a rough estimate in his mind.

"Because we also received news later that the sun elves of our family who were traveling outside were also killed and deprived of their bloodline."

"Although that sun elf is young, he also possesses gold-level strength."

"If he is powerless to resist, then everyone in the family outside will be unsafe."

Ricardo said in a deep voice, then looked at Cecil.

"Cecil, I understand your situation very well. Let's not talk about the past. The family cannot tolerate another member being killed by others."

"I asked you to come here for your safety. After all, it is too dangerous for you to be alone in Nelin City. The family is preparing to recall all members outside and return them to the Elf King's Court."

"The family's forces have been dispersed to members on tour. I originally thought that your appearance was different from that of a sun elf, and we were short of manpower, so I was unable to arrange for someone to escort you."

"But I didn't expect someone would actually attack you halfway. This was my mistake."

As he spoke, Ricardo took out a emerald green leaf from his body, on which were some dewdrops that sparkled with a dreamy light.

As soon as this young leaf appeared in the room, vitality instantly filled the entire room, a faint natural scent spread, and Li Si felt his body relaxed a little.

Feeling the vigorous vitality and faint sense of oppression on the tender leaves, Li Si was a little shocked.

This wasn't really what he had in mind, was it?

Cecil on the side was stunned. She felt that her whole body was responding to the power fluctuations on the young leaves.

Before Cecile could react, Ricardo handed her the young leaves in his hand.

"This is a talisman made by Lord Nimancha, the Forest Prayer. It has legendary protective power."

"You have to keep it by your side at all times, understand?"

“Isn’t this a bit too precious?”

Cecil looked at the tender leaf that looked like jasper and shook her head in surprise.

In her impression, the members of the Ilisel family were all rigid and stubborn old fogies who strongly opposed the union of her father and mother, and their attitude towards her was not much better.

Some even believe that her existence tarnishes the Sun Elf bloodline of the Ilissa family.

Although Elder Ricardo's attitude was a bit stiff, it had improved a lot, not to mention that he taught her this legendary item.

This made Cecil unable to accept it for a while.

Li Si was not surprised. Although legendary items were precious, they were not unobtainable for the legendary Ilissel family.

The most important thing is that the situation has now deteriorated to a level that the Ilissel family cannot tolerate. The death of any family member is an extremely tragic loss.

Even Cecil is the same.

That's why they paid such a price.

Ricardo placed the young leaf directly in Cecil's hand, turned to look at Li Si, and said sincerely:
"Mr. Li Si, after hearing what I said, you should understand how much the Ilisel family values ​​this matter now, right?"

"This concerns the survival of the family!"

"And now, you are the only one who has seen and fought with the attacker. On behalf of the Ilisel family, I must ask you, can you tell me the information of that person?"

Li Si looked at Ricardo, who bowed slightly after speaking, and felt a little emotional.

To be honest, even if he had the blessing of the elven goddess Fenrirya, it would not allow an elder who holds a high position of power in the elven royal court to behave like this.

It is clear that the Ilissel family has been forced into such a miserable state now.

"I don't know much else, but what is certain is that the attacker is human."

"Humanity?"

Ricardo frowned his sparse eyebrows, finding it hard to accept.

The elves generally have a bad opinion of humans. After all, the existence of the elven slave-hunting group is indeed a dark history that cannot be erased.

However, human forces were able to attack the Sun Elves in the Elf King's Court without leaving any clues.

No matter how you think about it, it is too outrageous. Even the churches of the gods of the human pantheon do not have the power to do such a thing in the Elf King's Court.

Rather than saying it was humans, Ricardo would rather believe that it was a certain faction within the elves who took action, and simply hired human professionals to attack members of the Ilith family outside the Elf King's Court.

Li Si looked at Ricardo's expression and guessed that the other party might not believe what he said.

After thinking about it, Li Si decided to reveal some information:
"When I was chasing the assassin, the aura of the abyss appeared on that person."

"what?"

"Abyssal breath?"

Ricardo widened his eyes and looked at Li Si in disbelief, even standing up from the rattan chair.

Abyss demon?

Are they involved in this matter?
Ricardo was confused for a moment. Neither he nor the other members of the Ilisere family had ever thought of this possibility.

Cecil on the side also looked at Li Si in surprise, she didn't know the news either.

"Mr. Li Si, are you sure?"

Ricardo looked at Li Si and asked, his trembling hands showing that he was not at peace.

"Of course, I am sure that he is an assassin who has completely accepted the power of the abyss. I am sure that he will not mistake the aura of corruption."

Li Si nodded and said with certainty.

"Mr. Li Si, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this news is too unexpected."

Ricardo stood up, paced back and forth in front of Li Si, and finally said to Li Si:

"Mr. Li Si, could you please wait here for a moment? I must now pass this information back to the Elf King's Court."

"If possible, I would even like to ask you to go with me to the Elf King's Court."

Looking at Ricardo's pleading eyes, Li Si was a little at a loss for a moment.

Going to the Elf King's Court at this time?

Isn't that just going to die?
