I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 661 - 431 The Elf Legend that Follows in the
Chapter 661: Chapter 431: The Elf Legend that Follows in the Shadows Chapter 661 -431: The Elf Legend that Follows in the Shadows After seeing Lis and Cecil return to the station on time, Elder Ricardo breathed a sigh of relief.
He arranged for someone to take Lis and his companion to their room to rest, and Elder Ricardo returned to his own room as well.
After a long journey like the one he had endured, even he was feeling fatigued.
Of course, it was mostly because he had spent more energy being vigilant against dangers along the way.
Once back in his room, Elder Ricardo gently closed the door and saw a figure sitting beside the window.
Elder Ricardo didn’t show any surprise but instead bowed slightly and respectfully said,
“Lord Alvis, may the brilliance of the World Tree shine upon you!”
“May I know if you have any instructions?”
Elder Ricardo was respectful, although he was an elder of the Illiser family, the person standing before him was a powerful Legendary Crown.
Although the Illiser family’s team was outwardly led by Elder Ricardo, he was well aware that in secret, the Elf Royal Court had arranged for a Legendary Crown to accompany the team.
This was a necessity, as Elder Ricardo knew all too well the current predicament of the Elf Royal Court.
No matter what methods or means were used, they hadn’t found those who were acting from the shadows.
That’s why Lord Alvis was specifically asked to follow the team in secret, partly to protect the Day Elves who were abroad and partly in hopes of catching those people.
Lis having discovered and killed a Gold-level Assassin trying to attack Cecil had pleased Elder Ricardo greatly.
As long as the enemy could not resist attacking, eventually, they would find a clue.
However, the news that followed wasn’t so good.
Other Day Elves were attacked on their way to Acot City, and although the appointed guards successfully protected them, they didn’t get any useful information from the mouths of those assassins.
Those assassins died instantly upon capture, likely a means employed by the mastermind behind the scenes, to prevent any information leakage.
If Lord Alvis had been present then, he might have gotten some information, but he was in Acot City at the time and it was too late when he arrived.
Elder Ricardo had hoped that the enemy would reveal themselves upon seeing their Elf squad, but it seemed that due to the total loss of their agents, the enemy lurking in the shadows had completely withdrawn.
From Acot City all the way to Jade City, even though the Legendary Ranger Alvis searched thoroughly, no clues were found.
It was as if those people had completely disappeared.
“Elder Ricardo, you have worked hard during this time.”
The young, handsome Elf youth nodded lightly and then turned his gaze towards the city outside the window, which was much more lively than the Elf Royal Court.
Alvis’s handsome face wore a somewhat gloomy expression; he was in a bad mood, having gained nothing from the journey.
If anyone was most unsettled by the affairs at the Elf Royal Court, it was likely these Legendary Strongmen.
While people like Elder Ricardo, although senior members of the Elf Royal Court, did not know some secrets,
like the recent attacks on the Day Elves, which deeply troubled such Legendary Strongmen as Alvis.
No matter how hard they worked, they could not find any clues.

These Legendary Strongmen felt as powerless as ordinary people.
What Elder Ricardo and the others didn’t know was that they had already sought help from the Elf Gods, unsettlingly, they had received no response from any of them.
This was very abnormal!
If the assassination attempts on the Day Elves were meant to provoke anger, the lack of response from the gods brought unease and even fear.
Previously, the Elf Gods had decreed an oracle that Gaia Main World was to welcome a significant upheaval, with chaos and war soon to envelop the entire Gaia World, the Bottomless Abyss, as well as numerous Different Planes and Small Planes.
Even Correlon Larysian, the Elf Creator, Guardian, and Ruler of the Elf God System, could not foresee the past, present, or future of Gaia World.
Even though the Elf Kingdom had made some preparations, it was unexpected that now all contact with the Elf Gods was severed.
This had never happened before!
This meant that at least for a short time, the Elf Royal Court could not expect the gods’ assistance, and the Legendary Elves felt a profound unease in the face of the attacks on the Day Elves at the Elf Royal Court, casting a shadow over their hearts.
Pompey Illiser, the City Lord of the Elf Royal Court and the clan leader of the Illiser family, assessed that entities beyond Legendary must be involved in this matter.
Otherwise, in light of the defensive arrangements and strength left by the Elf Gods at the Elf Royal Court, it would not have been possible for nothing to have been discovered.
It was unclear which evil deity wished to act against the Elf Royal Court, but however it was, severing the link between the Elf Royal Court and the Elf Gods was somewhat highly irrational.
Alvis preferred to believe that this was caused by some abnormal change in the world, and the evil god in question was merely taking advantage of the situation.
Targeting Day Elves to extract their bloodline might be an attempt to study the source of the Elf Gods’ Divine Power?
However, the entire Elf Royal Court was not overly worried, for the enemy could at most only manage these actions.
Even if a real evil god was scheming all this from the shadows, they would still be constrained by the rules of Gaia Main World.
