I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 138

 Chapter 138 Confrontation at the Palace Party (4k)

 The next day, the Kane family mansion.

After getting the signal from the boss, Li Si originally planned to go to Marion today, but something unexpected happened.

 The palace sent an invitation, inviting Viscount Kane to attend the Holy Festival celebration party held in the Kingdom Banquet Hall tonight.

This is an evening party held in the name of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Fes every year before the Holy Festival. The purpose is to receive the feudal nobles from all over the country who come to Bright Light City to participate in the Holy Festival celebration.

Yes, during the Kingdom's Holy Festival celebrations, the Kingdom generally requires all the court nobles in Bright Light City to participate, but if the lords and nobles from various parts of the country want to participate, the Kingdom is also quite supportive.

After all, being willing to leave the territory and come to Bright City to participate in the celebration undoubtedly shows loyalty to the Kingdom and His Majesty the King. The Kingdom is also willing to publicize and encourage this behavior of lords from various places, demonstrating that the Kingdom's control over various parts of the country is still strong.

 Now that the Holy Festival is approaching, it is not surprising that the kingdom holds a party.

There are several large-scale parties held in these kingdoms every year, and Li Si, as the court viscount, will also receive invitations.

　　Previously, Li Si, the predecessor, rarely participated. After all, in the eyes of others, the strength of the Kane family was just that. In fact, it didn't matter whether he came to participate or not.

 It's just that, in a situation where the little nobles who are "similar" to the Kane family are working hard to make camp, it seems that the Kane family is very unsociable.

 In fact, Li Si originally wanted to refuse. He didn't want to participate in these meaningless parties. Wouldn't it be nice to hold his own parties when he was strong enough?

However, this year's invitation is a little different. Under the standard invitation letter, there is also the handwriting of Duke Harder, asking himself to attend this party at the palace. His Majesty the King wants to see this young talent of his again.

Now Li Si had no choice but to refuse. To be honest, His Majesty the King was very kind to him. He had just received a precious trial card from him not long ago. It was inappropriate to refuse his first invitation to a banquet. .

After thinking about it, Li Si packed up and prepared to attend the party.

I originally wanted to drag Risa along, but when she heard that she was going to a place with so many people and had to take off her cloak and change into an evening dress, she blushed and refused to go no matter how much I tried to persuade her.

Having no other choice, Li Si had no choice but to drag Moura along, and asked the current head of the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce to introduce the chamber's enchanted products to the nobles in Bright Light City.

By the way, Master Daher and Bernie's research is nearing completion, and it would have taken longer according to their expectations.

However, Daher once mentioned this issue when asking Fran for advice. The legendary mage thought about it a little and helped optimize it, which greatly saved time and made the burning of combined magic patterns much more difficult.

 It can only be said that he is worthy of being a legendary mage!

The enchanted product that has been developed first is the magic air conditioner. Master Daher and Bernie are still studying the addition of cleaning techniques and other functions. It is expected to take a short period of time to complete, but this does not prevent Mora from advertising first. reputation.

Originally, Li Si was thinking about changing the name, but after thinking about it, he also had the ability to adjust the air, so he decided to call it the abbreviation of Magic Air Conditioner.

 Evening, the banquet hall of the palace.

 There were already many minor nobles in the banquet hall who had arrived long in advance. At this time, they were looking around to see if there was any important person worth talking to.

As for the well-dressed aristocratic ladies, they did not have such complicated thoughts, and their eyes wandered among the men present.

Every banquet held in the palace is a good opportunity for them to find their sweetheart.

Now, many of their eyes are on Li Si and Maura.

Li Si and Maura were both wearing black men's attire tonight. Their handsome and high-spirited appearance made these noble ladies blush slightly. They murmured in private and didn't know what they were talking about, but they didn't dare to take the initiative to come forward.

 “You are very popular!”

Stepping on the soft crimson carpet, Maura poked Li Si with her arm and said with a low smile.

As the second young master of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild, Maura is naturally not bad at all. He looks like a handsome pretty boy. Otherwise, how could he have lived such a ridiculous life before?

As for Li Si, he has a handsome appearance and a sense of heroism between his eyebrows. What is even more rare is his majestic aura. In the eyes of those noble ladies, he stands out from the crowd and even dare not take the initiative to talk to her.

Li Si couldn't help it. Ever since he changed his profession to an arcanist and his strength continued to improve, he naturally had such an aura.

 Unless Li Si uses some skills such as [Aura Masking] and [Transformation], Li Si doesn't want to bother coming to a banquet.

 Besides, this is good, Li Si is not interested in these warblers.

"I dare say that if you take the initiative to take anyone away tonight, they will definitely not refuse. Haven't you seen the eyes of those young ladies who usually think highly of themselves? They look straight at you?"

Mora smiled and joked that he also found that his best friend's aura has become stronger and stronger recently.

 “Go and do your thing, otherwise why would I bring you here?”

Lees glanced at Maura in annoyance. On such occasions, Baron Carl usually brought his heir Jon Carl over, and Maura didn't even have the chance to attend.

However, it's no problem for Li Si to bring Mora here this time, and it's also a good opportunity for Mora to expand her network.

“Okay, if the big boss asks, I'll go right away.”

Said with a smile, Maura took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and walked towards the crowd talking not far away.

 “Go ahead and see how handsome he is.”

“I'm already engaged, why don't you go? I see your face is red. Are you shy?”

“Oh, sister Mitna, please stop teasing me and ask me first!”

“Which family does this person belong to? Why do I have no impression at all?”

“The person standing with him just now was the second young master of the Karl family. Could it be that one.”

 “Who is it? Stop playing riddles!”

 “The one from the Kane family, the head of the family who rarely attends banquets.”

 “I seem to have an impression, who's at home?”

"Freeze said!"

The companion quickly stopped the man from continuing and warned:

“Don't you know that he was accepted as a disciple by His Excellency [Flame of Judgment]? He is still talking nonsense here.”

 “Is this the case? Thank you very much!”

This man nodded with lingering fear. He indeed said the wrong thing and no one else should have heard him.

Turning around and looking around carefully, he found Li Si looking at him with a wine glass in his hand. He felt a chill in his heart. He quickly lowered his head and pulled his companions away from here in a hurry.

Li Si looked away helplessly. His agility attribute had improved. In addition to his action speed and shooting speed, his perception seemed to be much sharper.

He heard clearly what the people around him were talking about just now.

Just when Li Si was thinking about changing places to kill time before the king arrived.

Suddenly, the conversation around him became more intense, and a blond man with an upright face walked towards Li Si.

 The second prince of the Kingdom of Fes, Atian Fes!

 You are here to find me?

Li Si looked at the second prince walking towards him with some curiosity. This was the first time he came into contact with this prince after his rebirth.

 “His Excellency, Viscount Lee Cairn?”

Yat'an stopped in front of Li Si, with a smile on his usually serious face.

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Yat'an." Li Si said this, but he didn't even make a salute and looked directly into Yat'an's eyes.

Yate'an didn't pay attention to Li Si's somewhat rude behavior, or in other words, the meaning of this situation made him feel even more gloomy.

“This is the first time I have met Mr. Li Si. He is indeed a talented person who was accepted as a disciple by Mr. [Flame of Judgment]. He is truly extraordinary.”

Yat'an praised, even though he was the second prince, he was still in his thirties. There was nothing wrong with praising Li Si in this tone.

“Thanks to the teacher's love, I have this opportunity to study with the teacher.”

Li Si replied calmly, he would like to know what kind of medicine is sold in Yat'an Gourd.

 The nobles not far away were shocked when they heard that the second prince told the public that Kane had been accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage, and that Li Si directly admitted it.

It was all rumors before, but now it has been confirmed by the person involved, so there is nothing wrong with it now.

 The Kane family is about to soar into the sky!

Everyone turned their envious eyes towards Li Si, and some even started to look at their daughter with their thoughts in mind.

Neither Yat'an nor Li Si paid attention to the reactions of the people around them. Yat'an continued:

“It's all because Mr. Li Si is good enough, and Mr. Stephens has a very critical eye.”

"Um."

Li Si responded directly and had no other response.

Li Si's reaction almost made Yate unable to calm down. He took a deep breath and said:

“I wonder if I will have the opportunity to invite you to have a private gathering after the banquet.”

"Sorry, I have something to do later."

After refusing bluntly without giving any face, Li Si's eyes showed a trace of amusement. He probably guessed what the second prince wanted to do.

 Want to make peace?

Li Si can only say that Yat'an is overthinking. He is not a kind person who can forget his grudges with a smile.

 I regret it, why did I go there earlier?

Yat'an couldn't help but swallow the rest of his words. Li Si's bad attitude seemed to indicate something.

Logically speaking, even if Li Si has been accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage, he would not treat the prince of a kingdom with this attitude. After all, he is not a legendary mage yet!

It seems that Li Si already knows something, from Camus?

Before he had time to think about it, Yat'an already knew that he was in trouble.

If it was only known that he secretly tested the probe on him, it would be very difficult if Li Si knew more about the plan.

The chance to fundamentally seal her mouth was gone. Yat'an took a deep breath, tried his last effort, and solemnly said:

"I don't know if there was any misunderstanding between me and you, Li Si, but I promise that this was not my intention."

 “If possible, I am willing to pay a certain price in exchange for your understanding?”

Li Si is a little bored. If that's the case, there's really no need to continue talking.

 Although Li Si did not intend to continue the conversation at first, he shook his head and said:

“No misunderstanding, I have admired His Highness the Second Prince for a long time.”

Just when the second prince was about to say something, Duke Harder came over.

 Phosse did not give Yater a good look and said directly to Li Si:

“Viscount Kane, let's go, His Majesty is already waiting for you.”

Seeing Duke Harder, the leader of the palace nobles, the slightly noisy crowd around him suddenly became quiet, staring closely at Li Si and Atian.

They also seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere. The upstart Viscount Kane seemed to be at odds with the second prince?

Li Si nodded and saluted Duke Hard, and followed Duke Hard to prepare to leave.

 Before leaving, Li Si seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to Yat'an and said:

 “Goodbye, Your Highness Yat'an, I wish you all your wishes come true.”

Yat'an looked at Li Si's retreating figure, his expression finally no longer as calm as before. Li Si's half-smiling face and meaningful words gave him an ominous premonition.

Shaking his head, Yat'an forced the thought down, turned around and started talking with the nobles around him with a smile.

　　The matter has come to an end, there is no use in talking more, all plans have been arranged, and he has no chance to go back on his words.

Yate'an also stabilized his mind. Since he made that decision, he would naturally have the consciousness to face any consequences.

Li Si did not take Yat to heart and followed Duke Hader to the reception room at the side of the banquet hall. The king, dressed in luxurious clothes, was already sitting on the sofa waiting.

 “Li Si is here, sit down!”

Morton saw the two people walking in and said with a smile.

Li Si saluted respectfully and sat on the sofa nearby.

 “I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Fran, congratulations!”

King Morton's tone was obviously much gentler than the last time he saw Li Si, and he was as cordial as Li Si's elder.

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have been studying with the teacher during this period.”

Li Si said politely, it seems that the kingdom does not know that Teacher Stephens has also accepted Risa as a disciple.

But that's right, Risa has left the academy for a long time, and her identity card should have been sealed.

The more Morton saw Li Si, the more satisfied he became. Being accepted as a disciple by [Flame of Judgment], he would have the opportunity to break through and become a legend in the future. The kingdom of such talents must attract them.

 “Does our little Li Si have a sweetheart?”

Duke Harder suddenly asked from the side. Morton smiled and did not stop Vosys from asking.

Um?

Li Si looked up at the two of them. What do you want to do?

"not yet."

Phosse glanced at Morton and then said:

“Li Si, you are almost twenty years old and should be starting a family.”

“As the head of the palace noble family, do you need me to introduce you to Li Si?”

　　嚯, The map of Yan State is so short?

Li Si was a little surprised. He thought that the kingdom would do something to win him over, but he didn't expect that this was the idea.

Just when Li Si was thinking about how to refuse, Morton spoke.

 “No need to be so tactful, Vosys.”

 “Little Li Si, what do you think of my daughter Taiya?”
