Chapter 465: Pledge of allegiance and bestowal of the World Tree Mark

The Emerald City,

After Lisi sent Cecile back to his father Eagly's home, Eagly 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.

Therefore, he was immediately notified of the news that the Elf King's Court, Drono City, had been completely destroyed by the demon prince Demogorgon and turned into a land of death.

Maybe other people will be worried 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 afford it.

But for Yigli, there was only worry and anger in his heart.

Igli had no good feelings at all towards the Ilisel Elf family that dominated the Elf Royal Court.

If it weren't for the old stubbornness of the Ilisel 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 Court to be destroyed. After all, his beloved wife Ariana is still in the Elf Court, and his daughter Cecil has also returned to the Elf 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 hoped.

Several days have passed, not to mention getting news about his wife and daughter. Until now, he has not even got any news about any survivors of the Elf Court.

If it weren’t for the fact that the ruins of the Elf Court have been sealed off by the Elf Kingdom and no one is allowed to enter;

If he hadn't gotten the news that the great elf sage was looking for a human named Li Si, who was said to be related to the destruction of the elf royal court.

Yigli knew the name Li Si very well.

That was the mercenary guard hired by Cecil. He saved his daughter once and met him when he and Cecil came to the Emerald Capital.

After that, Li Si followed Cecile and the team of the Elisir family to the Elf King's Court.

If the person the Great Sage is looking for is 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 by.

Every day that passed meant that Cecile's hope of survival became smaller and smaller.

Igli 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, Igli stayed at home during this period and never left.

He doesn't even care about the Elf Guards. For Igli, family is the most important thing.

A knock on the door rang in this empty room. Li Si took Cecile, opened the door and walked into this cozy tree house. They only saw the Master of the Emerald City, the [Sword Master of the Wind], sitting dejectedly on the wooden floor. On the chair, his eyes were a little hollow.

Igli 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 Cecile saw his father, the reason he had been barely maintaining finally collapsed, and she threw herself into Igli's arms in tears.

"Cecile, my daughter!"

Igli 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 had always been considered the most powerful golden warrior in the Emerald City, but he could not 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 pain as a father at losing his beloved, and also his endless gratitude and joy for his daughter's remaining life after the disaster.

"Just come back, just come back!"

Igli murmured, his eyes full of surprise at regaining the treasure.

But Cecile cried bitterly and said:

"But mother"

Ariana her.

Igli's eyes suddenly went blank, 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 and 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 the forest, will always surround us and never leave!"

Cecile buried her head in Yigli'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.

It is needless to say that as a high-ranking official in the Emerald City, Igli is naturally aware of the dire situation in the Elven Royal Court and the extreme danger of escaping from the hands of the demon prince Demogorgon.

It is a great blessing for Igli to see Cecil again.

Li Si nodded gently and responded to Igli's gratitude.

——

Ding~

[Igli's friendliness has been raised to [Respect]! ]——

Without paying too much attention to the system's prompts, Li Si found that Igli and Cecil's emotions gradually calmed down, so he left quietly.

He did not want to get any benefits or interests from Igli, and he took the risk to rescue Cecil just because he wanted to do so.

Leaving Igli's tree house, Li Si looked at Mir and Bella who were waiting outside the door.

Walking up to the two of them, quietly looking at these two battle-hardened elf warriors, Li Si hesitated for a moment and said:

"What plans do you two have?"

For Bella and Mir, the pain in their hearts was no less than that of Cecil.

If Demogorgon can be defeated, these two elves will not hesitate to sacrifice everything, including their lives, to defeat him with a one in ten thousand chance.

"Lis, as long as I can get revenge, I am willing to do anything!"

Mil said firmly, and Bella, who was silent on the side, nodded firmly.

Lis nodded slightly and said to the two:

"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 also want to do this no matter what the situation is."

"After all, no one wants the tragedy of the Elf King's Court to happen again!"

This is a vague idea that Lis had before. The power of the elves is undoubtedly quite powerful, and even among the many powerful races in the Gaia world, it has a place.

The most important thing is that the elves, as one of the forces that inherited part of the magic empire's heritage, are quite outstanding and excellent in magic research.

If it weren't for the sudden death of the Elven Lord Corellon, the Elven Forest would have become the main battlefield for the invasion of the Endless Abyss, and the Elven race would not have suffered heavy losses and almost been exterminated.

Relying on his special identity as an [Elven Sage] in advance to form a new force in the Elven Kingdom to gather strength is undoubtedly the most appropriate method.

Mir and Bella looked at each other, and suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Li Si and said solemnly:

Bella's voice was soft and powerful, and she said unwaveringly:

"Under the witness of Lord Yggdrasil, the world tree, I, Bella Listy, swear allegiance to you in the name of nature."

"May my wisdom and magic accompany you to move forward."

Then, Mir also took a step forward solemnly, his voice was unquestionable and firm:

"Under the witness of Lord Yggdrasil, the world tree, I, Mir Seth, swear allegiance to you in the name of nature."

"I will be the sword in your hand, fighting side by side with you in all wind, rain, thunder and lightning, until the end of the world."

Li Si did not stop the two elves from swearing allegiance.

He could see that the only thing left in the hearts of the two elves was the anger of revenge against Demogorgon, which was also their only hope.

In this case, it would be better to let him guide the future path of the two.

After all, Bella and Mil were also friends that Li Si met on his way to the Elf King's Court. He would not watch them sacrifice meaninglessly in the rage of revenge.

Li Si stretched out his right hand and slowly stretched it towards Mil and Bella.

Under the sunlight, that hand seemed to be shining with a sacred emerald green light.

Li Si's fingertips gently touched Mil and Bella's foreheads. At that moment, time seemed to freeze again.

With the touch of his fingertips, an emerald green giant tree mark slowly appeared on the foreheads of the two. The mark was extremely vivid, as if an ancient giant tree was blown by the breeze, the branches swayed gently, and the light of life flashed among the green leaves.

This is not just a mark, but also a perfect combination of nature and life force, symbolizing the deep connection between the two and Li Si.

The emerald mark swayed on the foreheads of the two, like the flames burning in their hearts, never extinguished, illuminating the way forward.

Bella and Mil opened their eyes and felt the mark on their foreheads in amazement.

With the blessing of this special mark, Bella and Mir felt as if their bodies were immersed in a pure life energy. The various hidden injuries left in the Elf King's Court were slowly healing at this time, and the whole person's spirit was also more excited.

Most importantly, the two elves felt that their connection with nature and life force was much stronger, and many of the elves' previous combat skills and magic would exert stronger power.

After the two told Li Si about their feelings, Li Si nodded with satisfaction.

This is the special ability he obtained after becoming the follower of the world tree Yggdrasil [Granting the World Tree Mark].

This special mark can allow the recipient to gain a certain degree of natural affinity and at the same time enhance the connection with the world tree Yggdrasil.

This kind of enhancement is certainly not comparable to Li Si, but it is also a very rare improvement for Bella and Mir.

Most importantly, the World Tree Mark has the ability to enhance the speed of strength improvement of extraordinary professionals, and the extent of improvement is related to the recipient's own situation.

Compared with humans, 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 300 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 World Tree Seal to the elves is more obvious to the bronze and silver level elves, and it is of certain help to the gold level elves.

For the Elf Legend, it has almost no impact.

Therefore, for Li Si, it is undoubtedly more advantageous to recruit bronze and silver level elves.

Choose 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 past glory of the elves as everything.

In his previous life, Li Si had been active in the Elf Forest for a long time, so he naturally knew the various differences that existed among the elves.

Maybe this is one of the negative effects of the long life of elves?

Moreover, being able to enhance 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 Corellon's fall and the invasion of the Endless Abyss. Li Si has time to build a 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 forming will be called?"

After swearing allegiance, the two elves quickly changed their identities and soon considered themselves Li Si's subordinates.

For them, they are willing to do anything as long as it helps them get revenge.

Not to mention Li Si who saved their lives!

".Just call it [Wrath of Nature]!"

Li Si thought for a moment and said solemnly to the two of them.

Let the abyss demons feel the anger from nature!

"As for the logo."

Li Si waved his hand, and a green magic emblem appeared in mid-air.

It was a giant tree that was half withered and half prosperous, half extremely lush and half completely withered, symbolizing destruction and rebirth.

"This is it, [Half-Dead World Tree]!"

"Remind us never to forget the pain caused by the destruction of the Elf King's Court, and the anger towards the power of the abyss that pollutes the World Tree!"
