Chapter 269 Visiting Duke Ward's Dream
“On behalf of the Ward family, I am honored to invite you to today's dinner.”
“I was pleasantly surprised to see many old friends today, and welcome many new friends to join us.”
“Let us raise a toast to a more prosperous tomorrow for the Kingdom of Dillon!”
Ding~
Different from the somewhat red tape banquet etiquette in the Kingdom of Fes, Duke Ward's seemingly casual few words brought the atmosphere of the party to a climax.
As the guests toasted together, the party officially began.
Li Si pretended to be a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere, and stood at the side of the banquet hall holding an old wine glass, looking coldly at the lively crowd in front of him.
He noticed that several people not far away who were wearing the formal attire of senior officials of the Kingdom of Dillon looked a little ugly.
Is this someone like me who was led here by hints?
Li Si took a few glances. These were all officials from the kingdom's internal affairs, law and other departments, and their ranks were similar to his own now.
Looking at it like this, it seems that he is still doubting why he accepted the invitation.
Duke Ward spent all these efforts probably to win over his supporters. On the other hand, it was probably also a demonstration.
Whether these senior officials of the kingdom who were deceived finally surrendered or not, they just planted a nail in front of them and the king.
Li Si took a sip of the Muge wine in his hand. The wine that cost more than 100 gold in the Kingdom of Fes immediately quadrupled in value when delivered to the Kingdom of Dillon. This was a huge profit from the monopoly business of the Kingdom of Fes, and it was also a huge price paid by the Kingdom of Dillon. There are also reasons to explore new trade routes.
At this moment, Lis noticed Philip walking in his direction accompanied by Duke Ward.
“This is our financial affairs officer Ken, I finally know him now.”
Li Si bowed slightly and saluted, Stellan said with a smile.
If it weren't for the unconcealed strong aura on his body, Li Si would have thought he was facing an old politician.
“It's an honor to meet you, Duke Ward.”
Li Si spoke with some respect and looked up at Duke Ward.
“I heard that Ken, you used to be a brave warrior, but you also did a good job as a financial affairs officer. Philip told me.”
Strang had a smile on his face, opened his eyes and started telling lies.
I don't even know what I did.
Li Si shook his head and said seriously:
“You have given me too much praise. You have wasted a lot of time not knowing what to do. Now you just want not to disappoint Mr. Ghana.”
“Gana, he doesn't think things through sometimes.”
After commenting on Li Si's benefactor vaguely, Stellan looked at Li Si and said:
“There are a lot of things going on in the kingdom recently. If you have any trouble, you can come to me.”
Li Si just nodded silently without saying anything.
As if sensing Li Si's cold attitude, Stellan waved his hand to stop Philip who wanted to say something, and said with a smile:
“I heard that you had to leave the army because of a serious injury, Ken?”
"I do have a way to treat it here. Ken, if you think about it, you can come to me at any time."
After Duke Ward finished speaking, he smiled at Lis whose expression changed, then stopped staying, raised his glass and walked towards the other guests.
He is very busy tonight.
Philipp took out a breath, looked at Li Si and added:
"Ken En, please think about it carefully, Mr. Strand will never treat his own people badly." There was a look of excitement on his stern face, and then he quickly calmed down. Li Si nodded towards Philip and said:
“I know, I will think about it carefully.”
Then he drank the wine in his hand and walked out of the banquet hall with his black cane.
Philip didn't hold him back. In his opinion, the financial officer, Duke Waward, had already wavered under the temptation, and things would be much easier to handle after that.
He called a waiter to follow Lis, and Philip also walked towards the other guests.
Today's task has been completed, and he will enjoy this rare party time in the remaining time.
Li Si sat in the carriage and left with a calm expression on his face, looking at the brightly lit luxurious mansion through the carriage window with interest.
Duke Ward made such a direct move, it seems that he has also noticed the hostility of His Majesty the King.
with the Duke of Ward, Li Si was interested in pretending to be a double agent.
Forget about treatment, Li Si is afraid of having his true identity revealed!
But the biggest goal tonight has been achieved.
In just a few exchanges with Duke Ward, Li Si had already memorized the aura of Duke Ward, and the rest was left to the dead of night.
Later at night, at Ken Simon's house.
Perhaps to avoid leaking his identity, Ken Simon did not marry a wife. He only had a few servants in his home, which was quite simple.
Lying on the bed, Li Si felt that it was almost time and Duke Ward should rest and fall asleep, so he stopped waiting.
Special skill [lucid dreaming]!
【Sphinx Dream Building Technique】!
With the help of these two special skills, Li Si successfully entered the dream world.
Controlling his mental body to leave his own blank dream world, Li Si looked at the tens of millions of densely packed foamy dreams that filled the hazy dream space, and each dream was scattered around him like stars.
Is this the dream world? It is indeed very special, reality and illusion are intertwined, and the hazy feeling blurs the concept of space and the passage of time.
It feels like you are in a sea of dreams.
This is the first time that Li Si has actively entered the dream world. He has never had this experience even in previous games.
The secrets and quests involving the dream world are quite rare.
According to the records in [Sphinx Dream Building Technique], this dream should be the embodiment of the dreams of all living beings in this area. Not only humans, but insects and animals will also have dreams, but they will not be like humans. So dazzling and colorful.
“If I hadn't come into contact with Duke Ward today, it would be too difficult to lock into his dream.”
Li Si's spiritual body raised his hand, and a wisp of breath appeared in front of him, exuding the same powerful feeling as Duke Ward.
【Sphinx Dream Building Technique·Dream Seeking】!
That wisp of breath turned into an illusory white dove, flying straight to Li Si's left side.
Li Si quickly followed the white pigeon, flying through one dream after another.
[Sphinx Dream Building Technique] Although the most precious content is the construction of special dream spaces, there are also many commonly used methods in these dream worlds, all of which are the exploration and research of the legendary arcanist.
The dream world is always bizarre. In the dreams that Li Si passed by, people were eating and drinking crazily, and some were being chased by wild beasts. Li Si even saw a guy hiding outside someone else's window watching a movie.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a talent!
Not long after, Bai Ge took Li Si to an obviously brighter dream space, inside which was the scene of the Ice Castle Palace.
This is Duke Ward's dream!
It's a little late. I'll refine it tomorrow.
