Chapter 809 The Secret of the Dark Elves

In the underground city passage,
Seeing that the mental imprint on the Spider Queen Rose had been successfully eroded, Li Si pressed his advantage, increasing his mental output to gradually dismantle the core of the imprint.

As the brand crumbled, Elisa's body trembled slightly, and a struggle flickered in her previously empty eyes.

This is her imprisoned self-awareness slowly taking shape.

Elisa opened her eyes, a hint of confusion in them:

"Where am I?"

However, after overcoming her initial confusion, Elisa seemed to recall her previous memories.

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, then Elisa looked at Li Si in front of her:

"Humanity?"

"Oh, so it's Lord Li Si Kane, the Ruler of All Things."

"I never expected that you could help me temporarily break free from the control of the Mother Goddess Rose. Thank you!"

Li Si carefully examined Elisa, who seemed to have regained consciousness, but did not release his control over her body.

At this moment, Li Si's mental energy remained in Elisa's mind.

At this moment, the mental imprint that originally controlled Elisa has been largely eroded by Li Si's mental power.

The power of the Spider Queen, Rose, was completely enveloped by Li Si's chaotic divine power and remained peacefully in Elisa's mind.

The reason Li Si did not completely erode the Spider Queen Rose's mental imprint was that he could sense the last remaining trace, and that continuing to erode it would attract the Spider Queen Rose's attention.

However, to a certain extent, Li Si has already taken over the control of Elissa from the Spin matriarch.

With a thought, Li Si noticed that Elisa in front of him had raised her right hand.

Elisa glanced at her unresponsive right hand and sighed softly:

“Lord Li Si, although I understand my current situation, this still saddens me.”

"is it?"

"I'm very sorry."

Li Si said with a smile on his face:

"I'm curious, why were you controlled by the Spider Queen, Lolth?"

"You are clearly a legend of the Dark Elves, so why would Lolth, the Spider Queen and a goddess of the Dark Elves, control you in this way?"

"This is simply because we once rebelled against Him."

A bitter smile appeared on Elisa's beautiful face as she spoke.

"What are your thoughts on rebelling against Lolth, the Spider Queen?"

Li Si was taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Elisa thoughtfully as he spoke.

"He is clearly the god of your race, so why do you rebel against Him?"

In groups like humans and orcs, it's perfectly normal not to believe in a particular god.

However, the situation of the Dark Elves is very special.

The Dark Elves are a unique race, with only Lolth, the Spider Queen, as their primary deity.

Besides this one, there are a few other gods, but they are all subordinates of Lolth, the Spider Queen, and have a very low presence.

Therefore, it was somewhat unimaginable for the Dark Elves to rebel against Lolth, the Spider Queen, the only powerful deity among them.

"I don't want to rebel, I just don't want to live that kind of life anymore."

Elisa spoke softly, her expression somewhat somber:

"I don't want to live in the eternally dark underground city. I don't want to live the same lewd and depraved life as my fellow humans. I don't want my hands to be stained with that disgusting blood anymore."

"I have been to the world on earth, and both the gentle breeze in the forest and the morning dew have filled me with joy."

"I also want to lie on the grass and feel the beauty of the world, instead of the damp moss and stuffy air of the underground city."

"So, you want to fight against Lolth, the Spider Queen?"

Li Si looked at Elisa and said with a frown.

"of course."

Elisa's behavior doesn't seem like that of a dark elf.
Do you like forests and nature?
Isn't this a characteristic of those forest spirits?

Forest elves are the main and most numerous group among the elves.

Other elven groups are basically derived from forest elves.

The Navia Great Forest (Elf Forest) and Elf Kingdom that Li Si was familiar with were the largest gathering place of forest elves in the Gaia world.

If it were just Elisa, it wouldn't seem so strange.

There are always exceptions to everything.

But judging from Elisa's words, it seems that the other Dark Elf legends are in the same situation as her?
No, wait!
Li Si suddenly remembered something and quickly recalled it.

He once perused the records left behind by the elven race over countless years in the elven library of Tyrion, the land of the elves.

Among them are many extremely important secrets of the Elven race.

Although these were not Li Si's goals at the time, he took advantage of the rare opportunity to go through all the secrets of the Elven race.

Li Si remembered that much of it was information related to the Dark Elves.

After all, the Dark Elves and Lolth the Spider Queen have always been objects of great interest to the Elven race.

The elves have also been gathering intelligence on the dark elves.

Li Si remembered that this included information about the legend of the Dark Elves.

One of them seems to be somewhat similar to Elisa's situation.

That is, according to the intelligence that the elves have been collecting over the years, a small number of dark elves may undergo a change in their nature after breaking through to the legendary level.

Originally dark elves, under the influence of Lolth, the Spider Queen, they pursued corruption and darkness, which was completely contrary to the original nature of the elven race.

However, there is a special case: regardless of their extraordinary profession, dark elves may undergo a change in nature after breaking through to legendary status, and begin to tend to be more like normal elves.

However, this situation is only rare among dark elves, and those dark elves who experience this will mysteriously disappear not long afterward.

The Elven race believed that this was because the Dark Elves, after breaking through to the Legendary realm, had received the baptism of Legendary power, causing the influence of the Spider Queen Lolth to fade.

That's how the elves were able to restore their original nature.

This conjecture also proves that dark elves and elves are essentially the same.

It was only due to the influence of Lolth, the Spider Queen, that the Dark Elves came into being.

Although this was just a speculation by the elves, Li Si felt that it was somewhat similar to the situation of Elisa in front of him.

If that's the case, then all those vanished Dark Elf legends were turned into legendary puppets by Lolth, the Spider Queen?

Just like Elisa in front of me.

Just now, when Li Si entered Elisa's mental world, he observed her carefully.

In Elisa's mental world, her soul is completely sealed by the mental imprint left by Rose the Spider Queen.

Although she seems to have regained her senses now, this is only a temporary recovery under Li Si's manipulation.

Lis cannot touch the core of Rose's spiritual imprint.

Therefore, as long as Li Si releases his control, Elisa, who has been suppressed by the Spider Queen Rose's mental imprint, will return to her previous state.

However, Li Si was already able to control Elisa's actions, just like the previous Dark Elf Matriarch Spin.

But Li Si wanted to get some useful information from Elisa.

With Rose's spiritual imprint present, it's impossible for Li Si to forcibly search for Elisa's soul.

Hopefully, it will be fruitful.
Were you conscious when you were being controlled?

Li Si looked at Elisa in front of him and asked softly. At the same time, he also lifted the previous restrictive spell.

Elisa's body is now entirely under his control.

She can do nothing but speak.

"Sometimes I am conscious, but most of the time I am in a state of deep sleep."

Elisa shook her head and said calmly:
"Even when I'm conscious, I can't control my body and can't do anything, so it's better to be unconscious."

"You know who I am. If you are willing to assist me, I will help you break free from the control of the Spider Queen Lolth once I am confident."

Li Si looked at Elisa, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
“You can take this as my promise, or you can take it as a deal.”

"Lord Li Si, the World Tree's Chosen One, I still believe in your promise."

"I hope that one day I can visit the Elf Forest!"

"You can use my body as you please, even if it means facing death."

Elisa looked at Li Si, a genuine smile appearing on her face:

"If I don't live to see the day my promise is fulfilled, could you please bury me in that elven forest?"

".Can."

Li Si looked at Elisa in front of him and nodded slightly.

Apart from her appearance, Elisa in front of him gave Li Si the feeling that she was no different from an elf from the Elf Forest.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Li Si."

Elisa smiled and nodded, then looked at Li Si and said:
"What do you want to know?"

"How many legends are there in that forbidden fortress of Donovan?"

There are five legendary dark elves in total.

Elisa said without hesitation:

“Apart from Mistress Spin and me, the other three legends are all like me.”

"One of them, Harya, is the key person who has been guarding Donovan all along. You should have already told the other two about them."

What they excel at is...

Li Si carefully wrote down all the information that Elisa had given him.

What arrangements were made in Donovan?

"I'm not quite sure."

Elisa thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly and said:
“I am a legendary assassin, so since I arrived here, Spence has had me wander around the surrounding dungeon areas, looking for any powerful individuals who might come close.”

"Therefore, I rarely go into Donovan and know very little about him."

"However, there are quite a few dark elves in Donovan, and they are mostly powerful superhumans; there are no ordinary elves among them."

"Moreover, these elves are in a rather strange state. They are usually in a dormant state, which is a special way of prolonging their lives."

Rose the Spider Queen is quite ruthless!
Li Si was somewhat moved.

To Lolth, the Spider Queen, the Dark Elves were nothing but tools!

"What's going on with those monsters that rushed out of the dungeon?"

Li Si then asked.

"Those are dungeon monsters modified by the Spider Queen Lolth, but no one knows the specifics."

Elisa shook her head slightly and then said:

"It seems to be due to the influence of the power of the abyss, so those magical beasts have lost all their intelligence and are just a bunch of wild beasts fighting madly."

Where are these magical beasts?

Li Si looked at Elisa and asked.

This was something he was quite curious about.

After entering the dungeon, Li Si also searched for traces of those magical beasts.

However, in the end, they gained nothing.

After the monsters returned to the dungeon, they left behind a chaotic trail, seemingly without any particular purpose.

But no matter which monster entered the dungeon passage, the traces left by the monster would disappear after a short time.

It was as if those magical beasts had vanished into thin air.

Li Si wanted to wait for those magical beasts to reappear so he could follow them and find their lair.

But for some reason, those monsters that emerged from the dungeon never appeared again.

Having no other choice, Li Si ventured deep into the underground city.

Those magical beasts weren't much of a problem for Li Si.

However, it reminded Li Si of some unpleasant memories.

That was during the bloody battle in the abyss.

When countless abyssal gates appeared in the Gaia main world, they brought unprecedented disaster to the entire world and all living beings.

The abyssal demons that emerge from the Gates of Abyss are mostly nothing to legendary powerhouses.
However, the number of those abyssal demons was simply too great.

Under the influence of the will of the abyss, even the weakest lesser demons are quite dangerous to ordinary people.

Countless abyssal gates appeared in various parts of the continent, and even with legendary powerhouses appearing to fight and countless armies and adventurers clearing them away, the abyssal demons could not be completely eradicated.

For ordinary people, this is an utter disaster.

The frenzied monsters that emerged from this underground city gave Li Si a feeling reminiscent of the abyss demons he faced during his previous life's bloody battles in the abyss.

And judging from what Elisa said, these magical beasts were indeed affected by the power of the abyss?

"Spencer has a special legendary item."

Elisa continued:

"I don't know what that special item is, but its power seems to be able to open a passage to the abyss plane that He controls."

"Those magical beasts were all bred in that abyssal plane."

Is the source the [Deep Pit Magic Web] on the 66th floor of the Endless Abyss?
Li Si sensed that things were getting a bit complicated.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be equivalent to a small abyss demon gate that can be opened at any time?

This is tricky!

In this situation, it seems the only way to target them is to start with Spin.
However, Li Si did not want to touch Spin in the short term.

Li Si didn't want to attract the attention of the Spider Queen Rose prematurely, unless it was time to reveal his true colors.

Before the final battle, Li Si needed to obtain more intelligence.

The Spider Queen Lolth even nurtured those magical beasts in the Abyss Planes under her control; her purpose could not possibly have been solely to attack the Pancontinental Mage Association.

What exactly does this evil god want to do?
"Then do you know how Spence sealed off the space in this underground city area?"

Li Si pondered for a moment, then asked.

“I know that very well.”

In response to this question, Elisa nodded and said:

"Spence did this through a magical artifact."

"The name of this artifact is [Pastrum's Stomach]!"
