Chapter 413: Girl Waking Up

Elf Residence,

Li Si looked at Ricardo in surprise. He didn't expect that the elf elder in front of him would suddenly invite him to the Elf Royal Court.

In fact, according to Li Si's original plan, he was not going to get too involved in the destruction of the Elf Royal Court.

After all, that was the arrangement that the Prince of the Abyss Demogorgon had planned for who knows how 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 Ice Peak City, if that was just a minor detail in all of Demogorgon's arrangements, then the destruction of the Elf King's Court was undoubtedly the most important part of his entire plan and arrangement.

Although Li Si didn't know why Demogorgon destroyed the Elf Royal Court, he also didn't know what Demogorgon's purpose was in causing unrest similar to that in Ice Peak City in various parts of the Gaia world?
But what Li Si can be sure of is that Demogorgon is very likely to be keeping an eye on the Elf King's Court at all times. The danger of going to the Elf King's Court at this time is simply a roll of the dice and a big failure.

Therefore, Li Si had planned not to reveal any plan about Demogorgon.

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

But later, through the intelligence collected by Li Si and 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 exact 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 point in the future due to Demogorgon's plan.

After all, from the memory of the previous life, after discovering that the Elf Royal Court was suddenly destroyed, the Elf Kingdom immediately rushed to the ruins of the destroyed city of Drano, the Elf Royal Court, but found nothing.

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

In other words, if Li Si wants to achieve the ultimate goal of Green Pavilion this time and obtain the [New Sprout of World Tree], he must take the [New Sprout of World Tree] after the destruction of the Elf Royal Court and before the arrival of the Elf Kingdom’s manpower.

Otherwise, the destruction of the Elf King's Court would inevitably shake the entire Elf Kingdom. As a human being, even if I got the approval of the Elf Goddess, it would be impossible for me to enter the ruins of the Elf King's Court at that time.

Similarly, even if one enters the ruins of the royal court, it is completely impossible to take away a sacred object like the [New Sprout of the World Tree] under the eyes of the elves.

Even if Mr. Stephens came, it would not be the same. After all, there are many legendary masters in the Elf Kingdom.
For example, the great elf sage Adela is a legendary figure who is no less talented than her teacher.

Therefore, Li Si must go a step further and understand the major event of the destruction of the Elf King's Court in order to seize the extremely short time window to take away the [New Sprout of the World Tree].

At this moment, the attack on Cecil by the gold-level assassin who possessed the power of the abyss demon gave Li Si a good opportunity.

This gave Li Si enough reasons to point out that the power of the abyss was involved in the recent events in the Elf Royal Court, and divert the elves' attention.

Also because of this legitimate reason, Li Si will not be too conspicuous and attract the attention of others, or even the Prince of the Abyss who is hiding deep inside.

Although he had no hope that the Elven Court and the Ilithel family would escape destruction, he could still buy Li Si enough time and space to make some small moves.

Before Li Si told Ricardo about the Apostles of the Abyss attacking Cecil, 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 anything to happen.

Determine the abnormality of the Elven King's Court through contact with Cecil.

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

In his previous life, Li Si had never heard of Cecil, the elf NPC. Judging from her father's later hostility towards the Elf Kingdom, it is very likely that Cecil and her mother died in the incident at the Elf King's Court.

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

After spending these days together, Li Si also learned that Cecilia was an elf girl who liked quietness, magic and gem inlaying, so he would lend a helping hand 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, for fear of being dragged into sudden danger.

At this time, it was indeed somewhat unexpected that Ricardo invited him to the Elf King's Court.

Li Si subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after hesitation, he did not say anything.

This is also a good opportunity for him.

The main reason was that he remembered his clone skill [Mirror Body]. This ability had almost no disadvantages except that it consumed a lot of magic power.

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

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

He hadn't thought of this before because the city of Drano, as the royal court of the elves, possessed the most powerful defensive force of the elves.

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

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

After all, the Elf King's Court should pay more attention to those legendary powerful people.

Li Si lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Ricardo and asked:

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

"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, trying to get more information.

"No problem. The chief has already told me that the royal 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 detail, 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 clan leader had to seal off the entire Elf Royal Court. The entire court was under martial law."

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

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

"Neither the Elven Guard nor the Emerald City seem to know what happened in the Elven King's Court."

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

After all, in the previous life, there was not even any information about the elves in the Elf Royal Court Ilithel family being attacked, which shows how tightly the Ilithel family blocked this matter.

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

"No."

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

"Who knows if there are other families behind the attack on Iliseel? Even if they want the Elven Royal Court that the family finally owns, this is absolutely intolerable."

It seems that the situation within the Elf Kingdom is also very complicated!

Li Si noticed that Ricardo was a little angry in front of him and had some guesses in his mind.

Words from other families in the Elf Kingdom
The Moon Elf families have always lived in the Elf Land, and a small number of Moon Elves serve the elven gods in various temples and altars in the Elf Kingdom.

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

Other ordinary elven families do not have much influence on the elven kingdom, and most of them are 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 appearing in the eyes of the world, and has almost no interest in the Elf Kingdom.

That leaves only the Aloloti family, the most powerful family of sun elves.

Most of the kings of the elven kingdoms are from the Aloroti family, especially the recent elven kings.

The status of the Aloroti family in the Elf Capital is similar to that of the Ilysel family in the Elf Royal Court.

This means that the secret competition between these two sun elf families is quite fierce, and they are even worried that the other side will harm their own 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 your door?
Li Si shook his head slightly. He could only say that the elves were not as harmonious and peaceful as they appeared to be on the surface, and there were many struggles and chaos in secret.

But this time, the Ilithel family must have guessed wrong. This may also be one of the reasons for the destruction of the Elf Royal Court?
"Sir Ricardo, please forgive me. I have not yet decided whether to go to the Elf King's Court." "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 companions went to the Elf King's Court to see if he could get more clues.

Then I can decide whether I need to take the risk and go to the Elf King's Court.

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

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

"It's okay, Mr. Li Si."

"With the return of the last member of House Ilithel, we are ready to return to the Elven 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, then smiled bitterly:
"In fact, if there was really no other way, I wouldn't think of bothering you, Mr. Li Si."

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

Li Si didn't think much about it. After all, as an outsider, even if he felt it was strange, he had no idea of ​​changing the decision of the Ilisel family.

Although Ricardo in front of him was relatively friendly to him because of the elf goddess, he was an elf with relatively conservative ideas and would never accept Li Si's advice.

"Then I'll come visit again later!"

Li Si nodded and stood up to leave.

Seeing this, Ricardo did not try to persuade Li Si to stay and sent him out the door.

The elf guards at the side were a little surprised when they saw this. They didn't know the identity of the human youth in front of them and why Elder Ricardo took him so seriously.

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 Ilith family is extremely important to them.

Even if you are given a legendary protective item, you cannot be completely at ease. After all, a legendary item can only withstand one attack at most. Who knows how many people are attacking in secret.

After saying goodbye to Cecil, Li Si left.

Since we plan to collect some intelligence during this period, we have to hurry up.

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

For example, His Majesty Burns, the vampire prince.

Li Si felt the mark he had planted before and walked towards that direction.
-
Arcot City, Burns Family Mansion,

This is a special mansion standing on a separate hillside at 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 darkness, as if it has been eroded by time. The stone walls are mottled, and the old bricks glow coldly in the moonlight, as if telling of endless vicissitudes. The windows of the castle are closed, and the curtains are heavy, as if to reject the prying eyes of the outside world, and also as if to guard some secrets.

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

If it weren't for the solemnly dressed servants coming in and out to take care of the castle, other people might have really thought it was some 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 ducal 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 seem to have no interest in the power and wealth of the kingdom.

However, no one dared to provoke this family. Once there was an ignorant person who offended the Burns family, and he and his family disappeared overnight.

At this time, other people will remember that the Burns family is the only noble family that has existed since the establishment of the Bolin Kingdom. There are even rumors that the history of the Burns family is longer and longer than the history of the royal family of the Bolin Kingdom.

Even the Boleyn royal family treated the Burns family with great respect and never asked about their affairs for countless years.

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

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

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

What is even more curious is that she is a white-haired girl with a cold temperament and incomparable beauty. Even many noble sons fell in love with her when they saw her for the first time.

In the quiet bedroom of Burns Mansion,
A white-haired girl of about seventeen or eighteen was sleeping peacefully on the big bed, her gentle breathing reflecting the tranquility of the place at that moment.

The dim light of the setting sun shines through the half-closed curtains, onto her beautiful and flawless face and silver hair, as if she were covered with a mysterious veil. Her hair is soft and delicate, rising and falling gently with her breathing, with a sense of tranquil beauty.

The girl was wearing a simple, thin, blood-red nightgown. The cut of the nightgown was just right, fitting her graceful figure tightly. The scarlet blood color looked even brighter and deeper under the sunlight, as if flowing with the vitality of life. The neckline of the nightgown was slightly open, revealing her delicate clavicle and slender neck, which made her look elegant and charming.

The slender and delicate legs were as white and flawless as two pieces of ivory. 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 is immersed in a quiet and warm atmosphere, as if even the air is filled with the fragrance of a young girl. The white-haired girl is 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 over on the bed like a kitten that had just woken up, then she lay on the bed, slowly arched her back towards the air, and stretched out her waist lazily and long.

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

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

"hungry."

Do you want to continue attending the parties invited by those nobles?

The girl tilted her head, a little hesitant.

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

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

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

It was so good back then. There was endless delicious food to eat every day. It was much more interesting than it is now!
After a while, the girl, whose stomach was protesting, finally got up. She planned to go to the kitchen of the mansion to find something to eat today.

Dudu~

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

"Lord Angela, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"You have a guest."

The maid paused for a moment and continued:

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

Boom!
Just as the maid finished her words, a loud noise suddenly came from the bedroom. The maid was startled and quickly pushed the door open to go in and check the situation.

Will nothing happen to Lady Angela?
Just as the maid pushed open the door, she saw a white figure flash past her.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the girl ran downstairs, and her clear voice revealed surprise.

"Lis!"
