I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Please fasten the **** basin

 The next day, Ice Castle Palace.

Li Si, who was leaning on a cane, walked slowly towards the room. Along the way, he saw people on both sides whispering from time to time, talking about what happened last night.

Although His Majesty the King has not yet issued any formal orders, Li Si has clearly felt that the entire Ice Peak City has begun to become tense, especially the fully armed patrol troops that come and go on the streets from time to time, which adds a sense of chill.

 This is the effect Li Si wants!

As an outsider, both parties must be unaware of Li Si's existence. If one person takes the initiative to muddy the waters of Bingfeng City, the whole situation will become chaotic, which is more suitable for Li Si to fish in troubled waters.

This is also the reason why Li Si gave the [intermediate high-energy bomb] to the player to complete the task. There are many bombs obtained from the teacher, and there are many more powerful ones, but the most eye-catching one is this large "firework".

 The reason why Li Si chose this was to make the matter bigger. Such eye-catching "fireworks" would make it impossible to cover up the matter, and ultimately bring the conflict between the kingdom and Duke Ward to the table.

However, what happened last night is not over yet!

Li Si did not expect that the work efficiency of the Virgin Mary, Duzi and other players would be so high. He just handed over the task to them and it was completed that night.

As a financial affairs officer, Ken Simon had just finished inspecting the Garza warehouse during the day when an explosion occurred at night.

If Li Si didn't react, it would be suspicious.

 At this time, we must clear away the suspicion on ourselves and direct the suspicion of the bombing to Duke Ward.

The news that this financial affairs officer brought to me is really not small!

As they said, the explosion at the Garza Warehouse was related to Duke Ward?

It is true that they had just targeted Philip yesterday, and such a serious thing happened today, which directly involved Philip and Duke Ward behind him.

Li Si sat back on the chair, his usually serious expression made Hans's eyes so gloomy that they almost shed tears.

“He did not choose to act secretly, but instead used the method of blowing up the warehouse, which shows that there is probably a problem in Garza's warehouse, and the problem is huge!”

 “Lord Simon, I'm here.”

 “Your Majesty, this is the situation.”

“Although I don't know much about financial work, this is not without precedent in the military.”

“But, Lord Simon, we clearly didn't find any problems yesterday!”

This is also the reason why Li Si persuaded Hans. After all, two people reporting together will always distract others' attention and reduce the possibility of being suspected.

This study is the real core of the Ice Castle Palace, and it is also the place where His Majesty the King meets with his confidants.

 “Do you know what happened last night?”

 After a while, Gilberto watched Ken and Hans disappear outside the door, and his originally calm expression immediately became serious.

Gilberto sat in the study room dedicated to King Lucar and respectfully described the situation he had just learned to His Majesty the King.

"this"

Turn around from the window, Li Si looked at Hans seriously. When he first arrived, he asked the waiter to let Hans come to his office.

Lees stood up, picked up his cane, and walked toward Chancellor Gilberto's room with Hans.

Thinking of this, Gilberto couldn't sit still immediately.

“You are saying that you need to report to Mr. Gilberto.”

He was just following the orders of the Finance Minister and did not know the game between His Majesty the King and Duke Ward.

 Whether Duke Ward did this or not, His Majesty the King needs to know about it.

 Actually, Hans didn't know much about what happened to Philip.

Gilberto pondered in the room for a while, then got up and walked towards the inner court of the Ice Castle Palace.

 “Let's go then, hurry up!”

“Maybe it's because you think we noticed something wrong with the Garza warehouse?”

Hans was stunned and asked quickly.

Hans nodded and said with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face:

“As I know, the Garza warehouse was attacked and two explosions occurred.”

Hans was also hesitant. His usual experience and subconscious told him that there should be no relationship between the two. How big a mistake did Philip's financial assistant have to make to do such a big thing just because of the risk of leakage?

You must know that what was blown up was the Garza Warehouse, which was only separated from the Ice Castle Palace by a wall.

 Could it be that there is really a connection?

Yes, no matter whether there is any connection or not, I just need to report the situation, and naturally there will be dedicated people to verify the situation!

As a confidant of the king, who holds the core power of the kingdom, he is naturally aware of the delicate relationship and situation between His Majesty the King and Duke Ward.

“We just inspected the Garza warehouse yesterday afternoon and were attacked that night. What does this mean?”

 The responsibility will definitely not fall on me in the end!

Hans, who had just come back to his senses, nodded deeply and said to Li Si:

“It means there must be something wrong in Garza's warehouse!”

“Is it possible that this matter has something to do with Fiscal Auxiliary Philip? Do you need to report it to Minister Gilberto?”

I saw Hans Cook, the clerk dressed in black, gently opened the door and walked in, saluted Li Si and said.

Li Si tapped the desk with his left hand, his tone uncertain.

 “It's so big that they have no choice but to do this!”

 “You mean?”

Hans was a little stunned. He didn't expect how his boss suddenly connected the warehouse explosion with their inspection work yesterday.

 “This is also something I don't quite understand.”

 After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:

“I am discussing this with you. After all, you are more familiar with this aspect than me.”

But at this time, looking at the deep and serious look on the financial officer's face, he couldn't help but begin to doubt.

However, besides Lucar and Gilberto, there was a third person at this time.

 “Anna, what do you think?”

Lukar's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at the young man sitting quietly aside.

 Anna Seaforth, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Dillon and Lucar's right-hand man.

 The two of them studied and grew up together since childhood, and have always won Lukar's trust.

Of course, his ability is also quite outstanding. He looks very young, but he is very sophisticated in his methods. After taking office as the Minister of the Interior, he quickly put the old people under his command into submission. No one dares to look down on the youngest person in the kingdom. Minister.

 Faced with Lucar's inquiry, Anna did not answer directly, but talked about another thing.

“I have already checked on the explosion in Garza. There were two explosions in total.”

“The first incident occurred at the gate of the Garza warehouse, and a total of four guards died.”

“The second incident occurred in the No. 8 warehouse inside, and there were no casualties.”

“The property damage was not as great as expected, and there were not many things stored in warehouse No. 8.”

"but."

 “Is there any special discovery?”

Hearing something different in Anna's words, Lukar asked in a deep voice.

“There was a large underground space three meters directly below the No. 8 warehouse where the second explosion occurred, which is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​the entire warehouse. It was discovered because of the collapse of the explosion.”

Hearing this, the silent Gilberto suddenly turned his head to look at Anna, looking a little surprised.

Is there a secret space under the Garza warehouse?

 There is a secret!

 Well done to Ken and Hans!

Hearing the news, Lukar finally showed a hint of surprise on his face. The Chancellor of Finance just reported the suspicions about the Garza Warehouse. This is a big surprise for me. What do you want to do?

That's the Garza Warehouse!

It is not only a warehouse exclusive to the royal family, but also very close to the Ice Castle Palace.

There is a secret place underground there that the king doesn't know about. No one dares to believe it if it's not directed at the palace or himself!

“So, it was that guy Ward who did it?”

Lucar's face was a little gloomy. If Stellan Ward had just offended the king's majesty before, if this thing is true, it would be a real threat to his life.

 “What's in that space?”

 Anna shook his head and said with some regret:

 “Nothing was found, not even debris.”

"What?"

Lukar was a little surprised when he heard this, and the successive news made him a little confused.

It's like someone wasted a lot of effort and made such a big noise hidden from his sight, only to be told that it was just for fun.

“Your Majesty, I think there are two possibilities.”

 Anna said calmly, without being affected at all.

“The first one is that the other party has just prepared this place in advance, and the corresponding arrangements have not been implemented yet, so now it is just an empty shell.”

"However, I have checked carefully. That space should have been formed with the help of some special spell, and it has existed for more than half a year. The first possibility is not very high."

 Lucar nodded and motioned to Anna to continue.

“The second option is, as Gilberto said, our Duke Ward really has a problem. He evacuates everything in the space in advance, and finally uses an explosion to cover up possible evidence.”

Ana said in a calm tone, without feeling at all how serious what he said was.

“So, do you think the second possibility is higher?”

 Lucar looked at his subordinate and friend. He believed in Anna's wisdom.

“Actually, I think the likelihood of both is relatively low.”

Anna still shook his head, leaned on the snow-white bear skin sofa, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples.

"After all, I know the character of Duke Ward very well. He is thoughtful, but he is indeed a somewhat indecisive guy."

“He could so decisively give up the hidden back-up plan that cost a lot of money just because of the possibility of the secret being leaked? And also in such a flamboyant way? I don't really believe it.”

“If he had the courage, he would have taken action long ago!”

"But apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who has the strength to do such a thing."

 Lucar was a little silent, he knew what Anna meant.

The Ward family was actually a branch of the Dillon royal family, but that was a hundred years ago. Then, like many noble families, it declined for a long time until the patriarch who became the disciple of the legendary strongman appeared.

 So, the Ward family can actually be regarded as having the blood of the Dillon royal family, and legally has the right to inherit the kingdom.

When Lucar first inherited the throne, it was actually not secure. The previous Duke Ward had already passed away. Stellan Ward had been in power for many years, and his power spread throughout the kingdom.

However, Stellan did not take any action at that time. Although there was some offense, Lukar tolerated it and worked hard to regain the initiative. It is not easy now.

 “Could it be anyone else besides Ward?”

 Anna thought for a moment and did not give a definite answer.

“Your Majesty, all signs indicate that this matter must be related to Duke Ward, and some doubts are not important.”

Anna said seriously, with a slight smile on his face.

“Perhaps Duke Ward acted decisively this time, or someone else secretly planned it, but so what?”

“Since Duke Ward dares to do that kind of thing in the Garza Warehouse, it means that he does have a problem, and the problem is serious!”

"The best result we imagined before is probably impossible to achieve. Duke Ward must not be willing to give up the power in his hands, so he has such an arrangement."

Lukar's face was also a little gloomy, thinking about Anna's opinion in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want to worry about so many things when preparing to go to war with the Kingdom of Fes. If Duke Ward could admit defeat obediently, for the sake of the legendary master, let him keep his current vast territory and become a stable lord. Best case scenario.

but now.

 Lucar breathed a long sigh of relief, walked over to Anna and sat down.

 “Gilberto!”

 “Your Majesty, I am here.”

Finance Minister Gilberto has been sitting on the sidelines without saying a word. It is his code not to worry about anything.

“That Financial Auxiliary Philip, I will ask someone to go back with you and arrest him directly for interrogation.”

Lukar's eyes showed a cold light and he said decisively.

"yes."

Gilberto responded immediately without any hesitation.

 Originally, the king's intention was to take it slow and slowly remove Duke Ward's influence.

But now, it was obvious that the king could not sit still, and the conflict came too suddenly.

 Anna on the side thought for a while and originally wanted to say something, but then gave up.

"What!"

 “You said the place where the explosion occurred last night was the Garza Warehouse!”

Duke Ward, who had sent people to inquire early in the morning, got the exact information and stood up and walked back and forth in the room.

 “How could it be there?”

 Duke Ward feels a little tricky.

 Originally, the Garza Warehouse had nothing to do with him, but after feeling the malice from King Dillon, he also began to prepare some back-ups for himself.

 At that time, the demon messenger Shaz Wood came to the door and wanted to cooperate with him.

Although Duke Ward was very hesitant about whether to really make a deal with this fallen man and open the [Devil's Gate], he still followed this man's request and prepared five special places in Ice Peak City.

 The default location where the [Devil's Gate] opens for one large and four small children!

The space underneath Garza Warehouse No. 8 is where one of the four branching portals is located.

"how so?"

Duke Ward felt his head was a little heavy. He felt something was wrong last night. He didn't expect that this would give him such a big surprise.

Although Li Si has not yet confirmed his cooperation with the demon messenger, and there is nothing in that space now, there is no doubt that Lucar must doubt himself.

 “Damn it, who did it?”

 Duke Ward feels that nothing has gone his way lately.

At this moment, a soft voice sounded in his ears

“Oh, my dear Ward, why are you so angry? Do you need a glass of Styx water to sober up?”
