Chapter 465 Pledge of Allegiance and Granting the Seal of the World Tree
The capital of emeralds,
After Les sent Cecil back to the home of his father Egli, Egli happened to be at home.
As the leader of the Emerald City Elf Guard, [Wind Sword Master] Igrid Arce is also one of the top leaders of the Emerald City in a sense.
Hence, he was immediately notified of the news that the Elf King''s Court Drono City was completely destroyed by the demon prince Demogorgon and turned into a dead land.
Maybe other people will be worried and scared because of this. After all, with the protection of the elven gods, many elven legendary elven royal courts will be destroyed by the demon prince, not to mention other forces?
??Although the elven pantheon has declined a lot compared to ancient times, it is still a top racial pantheon with powerful divine power, and not just anyone can offend it.
But for Yigli, there was only worry and anger in his heart.
??Yigli has no good feelings at all towards the Ilisel Elf family that dominates the Elf Royal Court.
??If it weren’t for the old stubbornness of the Elisir family, how could he be separated from his wife, and how could his daughter leave the Elf Forest to live in a human city?
Even so, Igri does not want the Elf King''s Court to be destroyed. After all, his beloved wife Ariana is still in the Elf King''s Court, and his daughter Cecil also returns to the Elf King''s Court with the elders of the Ilisel family. .
After hearing the news that the Elf Royal Court was completely destroyed and no one survived, Igli felt that the whole world collapsed.
Although he hoped that his wife and daughter would be safe, things did not turn out the way he had hoped.
A few days have passed, not to mention getting news about his wife and daughter. Until now, he has not even gotten any news about the survivors of the Elven Court.
??If it weren’t for the fact that the ruins of the Elven Court have been blocked by the Elf Kingdom and no one is allowed to enter;
??If he hadn''t gotten the news that the Elf Great Sage was looking for a human named Li Si, it was said to be related to the destruction of the Elf Royal Court.
??Yigli knows the name Li Si very well.
?That was the mercenary guard hired by Cecil. He saved his daughter once and came to see him when he and Cecil came to the Emerald Capital.
After that, Lis followed Cecil and went to the Elf King''s Court with the team of the Elisir family.
??If the person the Great Sage is looking for is this Li Si, does that mean that this human being did not die in the destruction of the Elf King''s Court?
?Does that mean that Cecile who is with him still has hope of survival?
?This gave Yigli the last glimmer of hope in his heart, allowing Yigli to maintain his last shred of sanity.
Even so, the days passed day by day.
Every day that passed meant that Cecile’s hope of survival became smaller and smaller.
??Yigli felt like he was going crazy, and his whole body was about to suffocate.
?His heart felt like being pierced by sharp arrows, bleeding every moment, and the world around him lost its color, leaving only a gray patch.
Because he was worried that his daughter would not be able to find him when she came over, Yigli stayed at home during this period and never left.
Even if he doesn''t care about the affairs of the Elf Guards, for Yigri, his family is the most important thing.
A knock on the door rang in this empty room. Li Si took Cecile and opened the door and walked into this cozy tree house. They only saw the Master of the Emerald City [Wind Sword Master] sitting dejectedly on the wooden floor. On the chair, his eyes were a little hollow.
??Yigli slowly raised his head, thinking that another member of the Elf Guard was coming to comfort him.
But when he saw Li Si''s figure and the petite blond elf girl following him, a new color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Father!"
??The moment Cecil saw his father, the sanity he had been barely maintaining finally collapsed, and she threw herself into Igli''s arms in tears.
“Cecile, my daughter!”
??Yagli held his daughter tightly in his arms with trembling hands. All the sadness, anger, and helplessness seemed to find an outlet to vent at this moment.
He has always been considered the most powerful golden warrior in the Emerald City, but he couldn''t hold back the emotions in his heart at this moment. Tears fell silently and fell on his daughter''s soft hair.
That was his heartfelt sorrow as a father for losing his beloved, and also his endless gratitude and joy for his daughter''s remaining life after the disaster.
“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back!”
??Yigli murmured, his eyes full of surprise at regaining the treasure.
?But Cecile cried bitterly and said:
“But mother, she”
Ariana She.
??Yigli''s eyes suddenly lost focus, and his heart suddenly trembled. He wriggled the corners of his mouth a few times and then clenched his teeth.
He realized that even if he was immersed in the endless sorrow of his wife''s death, he must hold up a sky for his daughter.
He is the father, he must be strong now!
Igli gently stroked his daughter''s soft hair. Although his voice contained a subtle tremor, it was unusually warm and soothing:
“Cecile, although Ariana has left us, her love, like every breeze and every green leaf in this forest, will always surround us and never leave!”
??Cecile buried her head in Igli''s arms and cried loudly.
??Li Si just stood aside quietly, not disturbing the father and daughter''s mutual comfort.
“Thank you, Li Si!”
After a moment, Igli raised his head and looked at Li Si and said softly.
There is no need to say more. As a high-ranking official in the Emerald City, Igri is naturally aware of the dire situation in the Elven Court and the extreme danger of escaping from the hands of the demon prince Demogorgon.
??It was a blessing for Igli to be able to see Cecile again.
?Li Si nodded slightly and responded to Yigli''s thanks.
—
Ding~
[Igli''s friendship level has been raised to [Respect]! ]—
? Without paying too much attention to the system prompts, Li Si found that the emotions of Igli and Cecile gradually calmed down, and left quietly.
??He didn''t want to get any benefits or benefits from Igli. He took the risk to rescue Cecile just because he wanted to do so.
Leaving Eagle''s tree house, Li Si looked at Mir and Bella waiting outside the door.
??Walked in front of them and looked at the two battle-experienced elf warriors quietly. Li Si hesitated for a moment and said:
“What plans do you two have?”
For Bella and Mir, the pain in their hearts is no less than that of Cecile.
??If they could defeat Demogorgon, these two elves would not hesitate to sacrifice everything, including their lives, to defeat the one in ten thousand possibility.
“Li Si, as long as I can get revenge, I am willing to do anything!”
Mir said categorically, and Bella, who was silent on the side, also nodded firmly.
Li Si nodded slightly and said to the two of them: "You two have seen the previous situation. My idea is to establish an organization to find and defeat the abyss demons. Lady Adela also supports this idea."
“Although I don’t know how much support I can get from the Elf Kingdom, I want to do this no matter what.”
“After all, no one wants the tragedy of the Elf Court to happen again!”
This is a vague idea that Li Si had before. The power of the elves is undoubtedly quite powerful, even among the many powerful races in the world of Gaia.
The most important thing is that the elves, as one of the forces that have inherited part of the magic empire, are quite outstanding and excellent in magic research.
??? In the future, if it hadn''t been for the sudden death of the elf **** Corellon and the Elf Forest becoming the main battlefield for the invasion of the Endless Abyss, the elves would not have suffered heavy losses and were almost wiped out.
??It is undoubtedly the most appropriate method to rely on one''s own special status as [Elf Sage] in advance to form new forces and gather strength in the Elf Kingdom.
Mir and Bella looked at each other, suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Li Si, and said solemnly:
?Bella''s voice was soft and powerful, and she said firmly:
“In the presence of Lord Yggdrasil, the World Tree, I, Bella Listi, swear allegiance to you in the name of nature.”
“May my wisdom and magic accompany you as you move forward.”
Immediately afterwards, Mir also took a serious step, his voice was unquestionable and firm:
“In the presence of Lord Yggdrasil, the World Tree, I, Mir Seth, swear allegiance to you in the name of nature.”
“I will be a sharp sword in your hand, no matter the wind, rain or lightning, I will fight alongside you until the end of the world.”
Lees did not prevent the two elves from swearing allegiance.
He could see that the two elves now only had the anger of revenge against Demogorgon in their hearts, and this was their only sustenance.
In this case, it is better to let him guide the future path of the two of them.
After all, Bella and Mir could be considered friends that Lis met on the way to the Elf King''s Court. He would not watch the two of them sacrifice themselves pointlessly in the rage of revenge.
??Li Si stretched out his right hand and slowly moved toward Mir and Bela.
?That hand seemed to be shining with an emerald green divine light under the sunlight.
??Li Si''s fingertips lightly touched Mir and Bella''s foreheads. At that moment, time seemed to freeze again.
With the light touch of his fingertips, an emerald green giant tree mark slowly appeared on the foreheads of the two people. The mark was extremely vivid, as if an ancient giant tree was blown by the breeze, its branches swaying gently. The green leaves are shining with the light of life.
??This is not just a mark, but a perfect combination of nature and the power of life, symbolizing the deep connection between the two people and Li Si.
??Emerald marks swayed on the foreheads of the two men, like the fire burning in their hearts, which would never go out and illuminate the way forward.
Bella and Mir opened their eyes and felt the marks on their foreheads in surprise.
Under the blessing of this special mark, Bella and Mir felt as if their bodies were soaked in a kind of pure life energy. The various hidden wounds left in the Elf King''s Court were slowly healing at this time, and their spirits became more uplifting. A lot.
Most importantly, the two elves feel that their connection with nature and the power of life has become much stronger. Many of the previous elves'' combat skills and magic will exert stronger power.
After the two told Li Si their feelings, Li Si also nodded with satisfaction.
??This is the special ability he gained by becoming the favored one of the World Tree Yectrasil [Granting the Mark of the World Tree].
?This special mark allows the recipient to gain a certain degree of natural affinity and at the same time strengthen the connection with the world tree Yggdrasil.
??This kind of enhancement is of course impossible to compare with Li Si, but it is also a very rare improvement for Bella and Mir.
The most important thing is that the Seal of the World Tree has the ability to enhance the speed of the extraordinary professional''s strength, and the extent of the improvement is related to the recipient''s own situation.
Compared to humans, the elves get a greater improvement when they obtain the Mark of the World Tree.
?Of course, the number of World Tree Marks granted by Li Si is not unlimited. Currently, Li Si can grant three hundred World Tree Marks.
The number will increase as Li Si’s strength improves and his connection with the World Tree deepens.
The improvement brought by the Mark of the World Tree to elves is more obvious for bronze and silver level elves, and it is of certain help to gold level elves.
For the Elf Legend, it has almost no impact.
So for Li Si, it is undoubtedly more advantageous to recruit bronze-level and silver-level elves.
?Select as many young elves as possible to join Li Si''s forces, so that Li Si can avoid being influenced by the conservative forces among the elves as much as possible.
??Although Li Si was awarded the honorary status of [Elven Sage] by the goddess Fenriya, he is still a human being after all. This is something that is difficult to tolerate for those old diehards who regard the elves'' past glory as all they have.
? Li Si had been active in the Elf Forest for a long time in his previous life, so he naturally knew the various differences that existed among the elves.
Perhaps this is one of the negative effects of the long life of elves?
Furthermore, being able to increase the speed of strength improvement is also an extremely precious opportunity for the elves who are growing slowly.
As for the time it takes to cultivate elves with actual combat capabilities, Li Si is not too worried.
After all, there is still a long time before the fall of Corellon and the invasion of the Endless Abyss. Li Si has time to raise a brand new force from scratch.
?Bella and Mir stood up, looked at Li Si and asked:
“Lord Li Si, I wonder what the organization you are going to name will be called?”
After swearing allegiance, the two elves changed their identities very quickly, and soon regarded themselves as Li Si''s subordinates.
For them, they are willing to do anything as long as it can help them get revenge.
Let alone Li Si who saved their lives!
“.Let’s call it [Wrath of Nature]!”
?Li Si thought for a moment and said solemnly to the two of them.
Let the demons of the abyss feel the fury of nature!
“As for the sign.”
??Li Si waved his hand, and a green magic emblem appeared in mid-air.
?It is a giant tree that is half withered and half prosperous, half extremely lush and half completely withered, symbolizing destruction and rebirth.
“That’s it, [Half-Dead World Tree]!”
“Remind us never to forget the pain caused by the destruction of the Elven Court, and the anger towards the power of the abyss that pollutes the World Tree!”
