The moment Cecil saw Lis, she stood up, her face betraying a hint of anxiety.
Bella and Mil, who had originally been lying on the ground, also struggled to sit up, and upon seeing Lis, they seemed to have found their support.
"Lis, what exactly happened at the Elf Royal Court?"
Cecil hurried forward a few steps, tightly grasping Lis's hand as if to gain the strength to continue from him.
"I need to go back and save my mother, Lis, can you take me there?"
Cecil knew well that the silver-haired girl named Angela had restricted their departure at Lis's request, and also that only Lis could help them return to the Elf Royal Court.
Lis looked at Cecil's somewhat pale face and slightly red eyes, and fell silent for a moment.
Returning to the Elf Royal Court was definitely not possible, not to mention that Cecil's mother had already died in Demon Prince Demogorgon's plot, even now Lis could not guarantee that there were no other dangers within the ruins of the destroyed Elf Royal Court.
This time, with his warning, it seems the Elf Gods and the Elf Kingdom had already discovered the changes occurring in Jonor City of the Elf Royal Court, but it was ultimately too late. The Elf Royal Court had already turned completely into dust in the waves of history, irretrievable.
For Cecil, this was absolutely unbearable. Although the Elf Royal Court had not left her with many happy memories, Cecil's mother, Lady Arianna, had also died in this disaster.
Before coming to the Elf Royal Court, Lis had thought about trying to take Lady Arianna away from the Elf Royal Court, but everything was too late.
Even if Lis had not been controlled by the Mystery Lock Illusion, at that time Lady Arianna had already died at the hands of Demogorgon, becoming part of the sea of blood of the Elf Royal Court.
Lis held Cecil's hand tightly and said to her in a deep voice,
"A lot has happened, I will tell you everything."
"Now listen to me, sit down and rest for a while, have something to eat, okay?"
Feeling the warmth from Lis's tight hold, Cecil, although still anxious, felt somewhat reassured.
Taking a deep breath and nodding, Lis led her to sit down next to a tree, and then brought over Bella and Mil, two members of the Elf Guard.
Seeing their dirty and exhausted appearance, how could Lis not know what had happened.
However, this was what he had asked Angela to do, and Angela had performed his request very well; such trivial details did not need to be overly concerned.
Seeing Lis approaching, the three elves were not as resistant as before.
Though not in the mood, the three still forced themselves to eat some bread and drink some water, then turned their attention to Lis.
This time, Lis did not continue to refuse, but calmly told the three present everything that had happened in the Elf Royal Court.
From the Mystery Lock Illusion that enveloped the entire Elf Royal Court, to the sea of blood that drowned the whole city;
from how he escaped from the illusion, to taking them away from the Elf Royal Court;
from the Demon Prince Demogorgon, disguised as Pompey clan leader, to the entire process of the Elf Gods striking against him.
Lis basically told the three everything he knew, including becoming a favored one of the World Tree Yggdrasil, which he did not hide either.
Of course, there was no need to hide such matters.
Perhaps Cecil and the others, with their Silver Rank strength, could not discern it, sensing only some familiar essence, but it was hard to hide from the eyes of the legendary strongmen of the Elf Clan.
Moreover, this was also the best guarantee for Lis to gain the trust and support of the Elf Clan in the future.
Being a favored one of the World Tree, one could almost strut in front of the True God Church, not to mention in front of the Elf Clan that saw the World Tree as the Holy Tree and Origin.
Moreover, Lis truly needed the help of the Elf Clan.
The World Tree had chosen him as its favored one partly because Lis had disrupted Demogorgon's plans, aiding the World Tree, but it truly needed Lis to thwart the Demon Prince's future schemes.
This was a war that would affect the entire world; relying solely on Lis's strength was definitely not enough.
Cecil fell silent for a moment, finally managing to speak:
"My mother is already dead?"
Lis, seeing Cecil's sorrowful expression, though somewhat unwilling, still nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, not just Lady Arianna, everyone in the Elf Royal Court must have already been killed by Demogorgon, it's just that the Mystery Lock Illusion retained their memories and souls, creating a semblance of reality."
Listening to Lis's affirmations, the three young elves fell silent.
For Bella and Mil, it was harder for them to accept this fact than for Cecil.
After all, they had always lived in the Elf Royal Court, where all their relatives and familiar things were located, and now all had been destroyed by the Demon Prince.
But as battle-hardened warriors of the Elf Guard, the two were stronger than Cecil and accepted the fact more quickly.
"Lis, thank you for your help."
"If it weren't for you, we surely would have died at the hands of Demogorgon too."
The group fell silent for a moment, and Mil looked seriously at Lis, saying softly,
"It's what I should do."
Lis shook his head slightly, if he could, he would have liked to save more people, but the situation was too dangerous, and he simply could not resist the power of Demogorgon.
