I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means-Chapter 572 398 The Past of Elf Sword Deity Igley_2
Chapter 572: Chapter 398: The Past of Elf Sword Deity Igley_2 Chapter 572 -398: The Past of Elf Sword Deity Igley_2 However, in the later main storyline, during his fight against the Abyss Demons, he was attacked by three Legendary Demons and ultimately perished alongside two Legendary Abyss Demons.
This Legendary Elf Sword Saint didn’t have much contact with the players, so it took Mr. Lis a moment to recall him.
Hadn’t heard that Igley Alce had a daughter, had he?
And there was never any mention of such a thing in the related storyline?
Mr. Lis thought of the destruction of the Elf Royal Court and furrowed his brow slightly.
Could there be a connection between these two events?
Cecil noticed Mr. Lis’s expression and hesitated for a moment before asking:
“If this matter is troubling you, I could ask someone else if you’re unwilling.”
...
“Ah, no, no need.”
Mr. Lis quickly responded.
After all, having the opportunity to meet Igley ahead of time was a good thing, considering that he was an important character in the later Elf Clan storyline. It was beneficial for Mr. Lis to make contact early.
Perhaps he could even obtain information about the Elf Royal Court from him.
With this thought in mind, Mr. Lis looked at Cecil and asked:
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to ask.”
“Why are you being so cautious, even taking such precautions?”
Mr. Lis was quite curious, as Cecil’s actions were indeed somewhat strange.
Most importantly, Cecil might be linked to the later destruction of the Elf Royal Court, and Mr. Lis didn’t want to miss the chance to investigate.
“This…”
Cecil seemed troubled, but considering that Mr. Lis knew of her father’s existence, it’s possible that his elf companion had already told him the gist of it.
Although she didn’t want to talk about it, she had asked Mr. Lis to find her father, and since he agreed so readily, it seemed inappropriate not to explain.
“It’s like this, as I’ve just told you, Lord Lis, I possess the bloodline of a Day Elf, but it’s not something I take pride in.”
“Because of my Day Elf bloodline, other elves always look at me differently, and those self-proclaimed noble Day Elves think I shouldn’t exist and that I’ve tainted the so-called noble bloodline of the Day Elves.”

Cecil laughed self-deprecatingly, her eyes hiding deep somberness.
“But I don’t blame my father or mother; they loved and cared for me deeply.”
“Even when I begged my father to take me away from the Elf Royal Court, away from the Elf Forest, he faced immense pressure to make it happen for me.”
“My father is strong. He climbed from an ordinary elf to his standing today, and he’s one of the most powerful people in Jade City, just short of legendary. And my mother is a Day Elf.”
“Their love caused quite a stir within the Elf Clan. Typically, Day Elves and Moon Elves do not pair with ordinary elves, and my parents were the most recent to break this convention.”
“Their union, and later my birth, subjected them to tremendous pressure, especially from my mother’s family, the Illiser Family, who opposed it the most.”
“To them, it was unacceptable for Day Elf blood to be spilled outside and they have always sought to confine me within the Elf Royal Court permanently.”
“My father has been contending with the Illiser Family because of this.”
Cecil said with a wry smile:
“In fact, without the help of Adela the Great Sage, my father would have found it difficult to defy the Illiser Family.”
“So, my trip to the Bolin Kingdom was under the orders of an elder from the Illiser Family, and I’m worried they might forcibly take me back.”
“They might even lay their hands on me midway, wishing to erase my existence that has tainted the Day Elf bloodline.”
“To them, my mere existence is tarnishing the reputation of the Illiser Family.”
“If that’s the case, why would you still go?”
Mr. Lis was curious, sensing that he was onto a clue.
“I don’t want to be a burden to my father anymore. Because of me, my mother has been confined in the Elf Royal Court, and my father can barely see her a few times a year.”
“This time, the Elf Elder’s request to see me is reasonable, and I have no grounds to refuse.”
Cecil lowered her head, her demeanor somewhat downcast.
Are the rules of the Elf Clan so rigid?
Listened to Cecil’s story, Mr. Lis realized he did not know much about the internal affairs of the Elf Clan in his past life.
Though the Elf Clan played a large part in the subsequent main storyline, especially when the World Tree was corrupted by Abyss Power, leading to the fall of the Elf Main God.
That directly triggered the invasion of the Gaia Main World by the Abyss Demons.
At that time, the Elf Clan that the players encountered had already plunged into chaos, with no semblance of order to speak of.
Even so, the rigidity of the Day Elves surpassed Lis’s imagination.
The Day Elves and the ordinary elves were much like nobles to commoners, representing conservative and stubborn thought.
“I understand.”
Seeing Cecil’s low spirits, Lis did not continue to ask further questions.
Besides, he had to escort Cecil to the Bolin Kingdom, and there was plenty of time. He had ample opportunity to gather more information from her.
“When do we depart?”
“We can leave now.”
Cecil, upon hearing Lis’s question, stood up and indicated the light leather armor she wore.
“I’m already prepared.”
“In fact, if Mr. Lis hadn’t come today, I was planning to set out by myself.”
Having said that, Cecil voiced her confusion:
“I don’t know why Elder Estelle is so urgent, insisting that I make my way to Acot City as soon as possible.”
That urgent?
Lis’s expression shifted, sensing that something was amiss.
As Cecil had mentioned, for the elves of the Longevity Species, the passage of time was not something to be particularly concerned about.
They had ample time to pursue what they wanted, and this was why art and music became a widespread pursuit among them.
The concept of being pressed for time was quite rare among the elves.
“If that’s the case, then let’s get going.”
Lis nodded to Cecil.
Now that he had a lead on the Elf Royal Court, he wasn’t eager to rest. After all, the previous part of his journey had been relaxing, and he did not need much rest.
“Yes.”
Cecil nodded, went into her bedroom to retrieve a small, emerald green backpack to carry, and turned to follow Lis out of the room.
“I’ll be relying on you, Mr. Lis, for this journey.”
Cecil used a spell to seal and protect her small house and said to Lis.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep you safe.”
Lis nodded affirmatively.
Although he was unaware of what situation awaited the Elf Elder in need of rescue in Acot City, he was not concerned about any mishaps along the way.
In fact, in some sense, Lis hoped there would be complications en route.
That way, he would have more opportunity to uncover the secrets behind it all.
The destruction of the Elf Royal Court was too mysterious, and Lis had to be all the more careful.
While Lis’s target was the World Tree New Bud, he was not going to take it lightly.
Lis still had a nagging doubt that he had not resolved.
Why would the World Tree New Bud appear among the ruins of the destroyed Elf Royal Court?
Such a precious treasure could not simply be forgotten in the ruins of the Elf Royal Court.
Could it be a naturally occurring World Tree New Bud?
One must understand that the World Tree New Bud was an extremely precious object, of which even the Elf Clan had only one, passed down over thousands of years and revered as a Holy Object.
Legend has it that this new bud was personally picked by the Elf Main God Correlon Larysian from the World Tree.
Lis did not believe such a treasure could appear out of nowhere.
It couldn’t possibly be that the long-lost World Tree had reappeared in the Elf Royal Court, giving rise to a new bud?
Lis shook his head, feeling that this idea was perhaps too far-fetched.
What exactly lay hidden behind the destruction of the Elf Royal Court?
Could it be that the future corruption of the World Tree by the Abyss was linked to the destruction of the Elf Royal Court?
