I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 265

Chapter 265 The Beginning of Political Confrontation

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Li Si said in a deep voice, imitating Ken Simon's habit.

Now that Li Si can have the appearance of Ken Simon, on the one hand, it is the advanced disguise mask provided by Old Tangs. In addition, Li Si also uses the fourth-level spell [Advanced Disguise] and the assassin skill [Aura Camouflage].

Double insurance makes it almost impossible to see through Li Si's disguise.

As long as Li Si doesn't take action, not even the detection and protective magic arrays of the Ice Castle Palace will be able to identify Li Si's true identity.

The door was gently pushed open, and a young man wearing dark green clothes walked in and said respectfully:

“Lord Simon, Lord Salas, please come over.”

Li Si nodded slightly to indicate that he understood. The young man knew Simon's temper and did not dare to ask any more questions after seeing this. He could only bow and exit the room.

“Why is this guy looking for me now?”

Li Si was a little confused and quickly began to make calculations in his mind.

Gilberto Salas, the current Minister of Finance of the Kingdom, has held this position for ten years and enjoys the trust of His Majesty the King.

According to Ken Simon, in the past few months as the Financial Affairs Officer, he has hardly been involved in any specific work, has no contact with officials in the same department, and is alone.

Although this is suitable for Li Si's disguise, if there is an emergency, there is no previous experience to draw on.

Sigh~ Can you only play the role of a tough guy?

Li Si sighed inwardly, stood up and walked out of the room, walking towards the finance minister's house.

Bang bang!

Li Si knocked on the door of the Chancellor of Finance's office with great force. Two junior officials who were talking about something not far away looked over with surprise. When they found out that it was the financial affairs officer, they immediately withdrew their gaze.

“Is it Ken? Come in.”

Some deep sounds came from inside the door, and Li Si opened the door politely and walked in.

The decoration inside the room was similar, but it was obviously larger than Li Si's office.

Of course the biggest difference is that there is almost a table full of documents in front of Gilberto Salas.

“Hehe, Ken, you sit down first.”

Gilberto, who had some gray hair, pointed to the sofa by the fireplace. Hot black tea and snacks were already prepared on the coffee table next to him.

Li Si nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, leaning his cane aside.

Gilberto also sat down opposite Li Si, took a sip of black tea, and said with a smile:

“Ken, you seem to be in much better spirits now than before. It seems that you have had a good rest recently.”

“I can't do it. Recently, His Majesty the Kingdom has assigned more and more tasks.”

Li Si just nodded silently, did not speak, and did not touch the black tea and snacks in front of him.

Looking at the cold expression of Ken Simon in front of him, Gilberto understood clearly and did not continue to beat around the bush. Instead, he took out a badge and a letter from his arms and placed them in front of Li Si.

Li Si stared at the badge in front of him, the Silver Moon Cedar, which is the symbol of the Duke of Quirk Garner's family.

It was the military boss who asked Ken to serve as financial affairs officer.

After a moment of silence, Li Si picked up the letter and read it carefully.

Like the letter provided by Ken Simon, it is an autographed letter from Quake Garner.

The content of the letter is very simple. It just instructs Ken Simon to follow the orders of Gilberto Salas and not to report to him unless there is a major matter.

What is the connection between Gilberto Salas, Chancellor of Finance, and Duke Quique Garner?

Are they all officials belonging to the royal family? Putting down the letter, Li Si nodded towards Gilberto who was tasting top-quality black tea.

“What do you want me to do?”

Gilberto showed a smile on his face, nodded and said:

“His Majesty the King has a lot to do, and we just need to do our part.”

“Fruel Philip, do you know him?”

Li Si nodded and said briefly:

“Know, not familiar with.”

Fruel Philippe, a young official in his thirties, is young and very shrewd.

Lee Si immediately recalled the material provided by Ken.

The official structure of the Dillon Kingdom is similar to that of the mainstream human kingdom. There are dedicated officials responsible for all aspects of the kingdom's affairs.

In terms of finance, the Chancellor of Finance, Financial Affairs Officer, and Assistant Financial Officer are the three most important official positions, and their status and power are ranked in order.

Fruel Philip is the financial adjutant of the Kingdom of Dillon, second only to Gilberto Salas and Ken Simon.

“I have some work recently, so you may have more contact with him.”

Gilberto said with a smile. He seemed like a kind and gentle old man, but in Li Si's eyes, he was just a treacherous old fox.

“So, what do you need me to do?”

Li Stie said naively, with a hint of impatience on his resolute face.

Gilberto didn't pay attention. He naturally knew that Ken was once a soldier. It was easy for them to go into battle and kill. It was really difficult for them to understand the rules of the game between civilians.

After thinking about it, Gilberto decided to speak more clearly.

“Fruel Philip, of Duke Stellan Ward.”

“His Majesty does not like Duke Ward. He stretches his hand a little too long.”

Gilberto sipped the black tea and said calmly:

"Don't worry about other things. I will leave some of the affairs in charge of Fluor Philip to you."

"Don't worry about not doing it well. I only have one request. Go and create trouble for Freul Philip. It's best to find his problem."

"I see."

Li Si nodded, his expression unchanged.

Gilberto then ordered:

"You may not be familiar with those jobs. I'll ask my subordinate Hans to help you, and you can make the decision."

Li Si returned to his office, leaned on the sofa, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

It's interesting!

Gilberto's intention was very clear, let him cause trouble and seize the painful feet of Fluor Philip, with the purpose of taking down this financial auxiliary officer and the third person in the kingdom's finance.

So, is King Lucar ready to take action against Duke Ward?

This is just one side of the story. There may be silent confrontations between the two in more places.

It now seems that the Kingdom's appointment of Ken Simon as Financial Affairs Officer is probably a check and balance made by the old Minister of Finance to prevent the Kingdom's finances from being controlled by Duke Ward's men.

Don't think it's strange, this seems strange in the Kingdom of Fes. How can a Duke compete with His Majesty the Kingdom?

But in the Kingdom of Dillon, the status of Duke Stellan Ward is quite special.

His father, the late Joey Ward, was the only legendary strongman in the Dilon Kingdom and a disciple of the legendary berserker [Wrath of the North] Hitti Whitman.
