Chapter 651 - 427: Heading to the Elf Royal Court
Chapter 651: Chapter 427: Heading to the Elf Royal Court
Lis waved his hand and used Magic Flames to burn the Vampire Dick’s body to ashes.
He had obtained some intelligence from this man, but the outcome left Lis somewhat surprised.
It seemed that Antoine’s three Golden-level Vampires had been arranged by the Legendary Vampire Benfica in Bolin Kingdom to control the slave trade there.
Moreover, their purpose appeared to be secretly gathering Elf Slaves.
If that was the case, it seemed to make sense.
The number of Elf Slaves traded annually was not small, and if Benfica and his accomplices aimed to acquire more Elves, controlling the slave trade was a good strategy.
It could certainly deceive the Elf Clan and secretly collect Elf Slaves.
But for what purpose did they need so many Elves?
It was known that Antoine had been operating in Bolin Kingdom for decades, and with Devitt and Palmer’s arrival later, these three had taken control of most of the Kingdom’s slave trade.
Even if the number of Elf Slaves that passed through their hands was not substantial, the quantity accumulated over so many years was considerable and terrifying.
Most importantly, Elf Slaves were not like regular commodities that could be easily stored.
They were living beings, to keep such a number of Elves quietly in place and obedient to commands.
Lis felt a chill in his heart and, although he did not want to admit it, it seemed that the most convenient and simplest solution to this situation was to kill the Elves in advance.
Otherwise, Lis could not think of any tactics that would require decades of covert operations and planning.
Lis remembered the Gold-level Assassin who had ambushed Cecil, and the [Source Blood Crystal] in the assassin’s hand.
Could it be for the sake of obtaining Elf Bloodline?
If the bloodline of a Day Elf was precious enough, what could be done with so many common Elf bloodlines?
Was it really just for a Blood Sacrifice to summon the power of Demogorgon?
Lis felt it was not that simple, but for now, he could not discern Demogorgon’s scheming.
He could only take it one step at a time!
Lis sighed somewhat.
Although he had gained some clues from Dick, the mystery of the Elf Royal Court’s destruction still loomed over Lis.
Looking at the ashes that were once Dick, Lis sighed.
It seemed that the remaining clues could only be sought from Riccardo Illiser, the Elf Elder, and the affairs of the Elf Royal Court.
However…
Lis pondered for a moment, and still harbored some reservations about entering the Elf Royal Court.
No matter how one looked at it, the current situation of the Elf Royal Court was not good.
The most important was the attitude of Riccardo, the Elf Elder, which left Lis uncertain.
Truth be told, as the holder of power over the Elf Royal Court from the Sun Elf Family, the Illiser Family was quite conservative and xenophobic, as could be seen from Cecil’s experiences.
Especially now, since there had been attacks in the Elf Royal Court aimed at depriving Day Elves of their bloodlines, an incident that was absolutely intolerable to the Illiser Family.
The incidents that the Legendary Strongmen of the Elf Royal Court could not resolve were known to everyone, and it was clear that a major force was plotting something behind the scenes.
Yet the Illiser Family was not taking any special actions.
Calling back the Sun Elves from outside, sealing off the Elf Royal Court to prevent exit, and controlling the flow of information…
Lis did not know whether the Elf Royal Court and the Illiser Family were reporting the events of the Royal Court to the All Gods of the Elf God System, or to the Elf Capital and Elf Land.
But from the events of the future, the entire Elf Kingdom seemed to be completely unaware of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court.
That was very strange!
If this were a decision made by the Illiser Family to keep their Hidden secrets, then why would Riccardo invite Lis to the Elf Royal Court?
Indeed, Lis had killed the assassin who had attacked Cecil, and that assassin might be related to the dark forces behind the Elf Royal Court.
Lis had the blessing of Elf Goddess Fenrilya and was a friend of the Elf Clan.
But this did not mean the Illiser Family would agree to Lis visiting the Elf Royal Court at this time.
Lis, though confident, also knew that compared to him, a foreigner, the Elf Capital and Elf Land of the same Elf Clan would undoubtedly be deemed more trustworthy.
So, Riccardo’s invitation for Lis to go to the Elf Royal Court could indeed be a desperate measure from the other party, but it still made Lis cautious.
Especially after getting a glimpse of a part of Demogorgon’s arrangements, Lis felt that no amount of caution was too much.
“If it really comes down to it, then I can only do it that way,”
Lis hesitated for a moment before making up his mind.

Bolin Kingdom, Acot City,
Cecil leaned boredly on the window, with a soft breeze coming from the hills on both sides of Acot City, bringing with it a faint scent of flowers and a coolness.
As the Royal Capital of Bolin Kingdom, Acot City was in a very good location, with beautiful scenery and suitable for living, a different charm compared to the Elf Kingdom.
The continuous hills stood like guardians, silently protecting the city.
Between the lush mountain ridges, the clear river flowed like a silver ribbon through the city. The sparkling water was so transparent it seemed as if it could cleanse away the dust within people’s hearts.
The architecture, similar to Elf style, was simple and classic, with green tiles and black bricks, revealing a sense of quiet and natural beauty. The entire city seemed to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment, with its shady trees and fragrant flowers, making one feel as though they were in a beautiful painting.
