Chapter 217 Sensible Ur
North Wind City, Solo Castle.
Count Solo held a rather grand party for Lis in the castle.
All the prominent figures in North Wind City were invited to the party, including important officials of the Solo County, directors of major chambers of commerce, senior professionals, and ladies from various families.
Li Si even saw a dwarf master with a big brown beard holding a barrel of ale on the side of the party hall.
The food at the party was also quite sumptuous, but unlike Bright Light City, there were not many desserts and fish in the food, but more of various beef and mutton specialties.
It may be related to the fact that the grassland around Beifeng City is more suitable for grazing.
With the stimulation and background of some spices, whether it is grilled or stewed, the delicious and mellow, tender and juicy lamb and beef can be reflected. The delicious taste jumps on the tip of Li Si's tongue, expressing this wonderful fragrance.
This is a delicacy that is not available in Bright City, and it can only be tasted in this northern region.
Just like the Yalu Plain where the kingdom is closer to the southern countries, the specialty there is delicious desserts and delicacies made from special fruits and vegetables.
While Li Si was enjoying the delicious food, he was also accompanied by Count Solo and chatted with prominent people in North Wind City.
Although Li Si doesn't like this kind of communication, it is also an indispensable part of aristocratic life.
More importantly, unlike the first time he attended the party at Mora's house, Li Si was now the core and focus of the entire party. Naturally, there were a group of people complimenting Li Si and hoping to get closer to this popular nobleman.
Especially the directors of the Fes Chamber of Commerce and the Bright Light Chamber of Commerce, who are quite enthusiastic and respectful to Li Si.
Li Si knew the purpose of these people, but he didn't care. This was his confidence as the Marquis of the Kingdom.
However, one of these people aroused Li Si's interest.
“Lord Li Si is really knowledgeable and talented. Even the Cold Wind Eagle in the north knows that this is a very rare monster.”
A middle-aged man wearing a black dress smiled and complimented Li Si, and at the same time introduced himself and said:
"I am Ur, the president of the Hansong Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, my chamber of commerce cannot be compared with the Fes Chamber of Commerce. However, there are still some Northland specialty products. I wonder if you are interested?"
"oh?"
Hearing this familiar name, Li Si looked carefully at the middle-aged man who called himself Ur, and said with a smile:
“I really want to bring some unique gifts back to Bright Light City.”
Ur Wenyan looked happy and said quickly:
"Then you are absolutely right to choose the Hansong Chamber of Commerce. Whether it is the precious mink fur or special medicinal materials, it is very suitable as a gift. These chambers of commerce have a lot of reserves and will definitely satisfy you."
Li Si nodded with satisfaction, raised the wine glass in his hand and said:
“Then I'll have a good look at it tomorrow.”
“Mr. Li Si, you are too polite. I will go back and prepare carefully.”
Ur said respectfully, raised his glass and clinked it with Li Si carefully, drank all the wine in the glass, and then hurriedly said goodbye and left the party.
Many people present looked at Ur with envy.
This guy is so lucky, he is hooked up with Marquis Kane.
Why didn't I think of this? Those things are rare in Bright City, but not too rare in Beifeng City.
Pity!
The people around Li Si felt regretful for a short time, and then introduced their specialties to Li Si more enthusiastically.
But Li Si just sipped the wine and showed no interest in the treasures they mentioned.
Only Li Si himself knows the specific reasons.
After confirming that he wanted to do something in Beifeng City, Li Si carefully recalled the plot of the game related to Beifeng City in his previous life.
Li Si remembered the names of the Hansong Chamber of Commerce and President Ur very clearly.
That is part of the main plot of the North Wind City War, and that plot is called "Removal of the Dark Line in the Kingdom of Dilon". After the players ran the map through many clues, they finally determined that the secret line arranged by the Kingdom of Dillon in Beifeng City was Ur and Hansong Chamber of Commerce.
The Hansong Chamber of Commerce founded by Ur quickly took root in North Wind City by relying on the relatively cheap various specialties from the Kingdom of Dillon. At the same time, it deployed strongholds in other cities in the northern part of the kingdom and relied on the influence of the Chamber of Commerce to collect intelligence.
Li Si's goal when he came to Beifeng City this time was the Hansong Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't expect that this person would be so proactive and fall into Li Si's hands.
Good guy, you are sensible!
Or do you say that your luck has gotten better?
Glancing at the attribute panel, my luck is still 7 points.
Should it be said, Li Si didn't feel that his luck had improved when he didn't use the Good Luck Brooch [Lucky Man] skill.
Could it be that 3 points of luck are not enough to get rid of the fact that you are not a chieftain?
While Li Si was thinking wildly, Ur had already left the castle, got into the carriage, and headed back.
At this time, his face no longer had the almost flattering smile, but instead had a serious look on his face.
Ul tapped the armrest of the carriage lightly and frowned.
How could this newly-consecrated marquis of Bright Light City come to Beifeng City at this time?
According to the intelligence he collected, Bright City has not been peaceful recently.
The Marquis of Cairn seems to be very active in it.
There are some things that, even if the kingdom wants to reduce the impact and limit the spread of news, it is impossible to silence everyone.
Ur, who has been deeply involved in the field of intelligence and espionage for many years, knows very well that the more the kingdom wants to suppress the news, the more important the information is.
Let's report to Sir Seth and see if we can get any useful information from Lis Kane tomorrow.
Ur sighed secretly. Ever since the Kingdom of Fes declared war on the Kingdom of Berdych, he had a faint feeling that the shadow of war had also shrouded the land in the north.
War! I hope His Majesty Lucar can lead us to victory.
Ur comforted himself and stopped thinking about it.
In the Castle of Solo.
The party is over and the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves.
The invited guests were served by the castle servants and left home one after another, but the two most important people of the party did not show up.
Li Si was sitting in a luxuriously decorated reception room in the castle. There was a slight sound in the fireplace nearby, and the burning flames dispelled the coldness of early winter in the house.
“I wonder if Mr. Li Si is satisfied with today's party?”
Ander, who was leaning on the sofa directly opposite Li Si, said with a smile.
Ignace on the side filled a glass of prepared cream liqueur for the two of them and stood silently.
This is where we get down to business!
Li Si smiled and said:
“Thank you so much. Today's party allowed me to experience a different style from Bright City. It's really fascinating.”
“Haha, as long as you are satisfied.”
Ander said with a smile, waving to Ignatius.
The steward took out a small box wrapped in red silk and placed it gently in front of Li Si.
"I'm sorry for what happened before. This is a small compensation. I hope you will be satisfied."
Ender pointed at the small box and said with a smile.
