Chapter 369 Palace Banquet
The Kane family mansion,
In the next few days, in addition to going to the First Magic Workshop to receive special training from Mr. Stephens, Li Si was also doing physical exercises to quickly become familiar with his strengthened body.
But this time, Li Si did not continue to hide his talent for mastering other professional abilities in front of [Flame of Judgment].
Stephens had some surprise on his face when he saw Li Si skillfully using the warrior skill of slashing and the assassin skill of invisibility.
It's not like he has never seen people with amazing talents who can master the abilities of two or three professions, but this is the first time he has seen Li Si's talents in mastering various professions without any restrictions.
Looking at Lis who was lying on the ground panting with interest, Stephens said with a smile:
“Your talent is very, very special, Li Si.”
“I have never seen such a talent as yours. I can imagine that you can choose to learn a lot.”
Stephens looked at Lis and said with some emotion:
“With such a good talent, you can really learn more about the abilities of other professions, Li Si. It will be very helpful to improve your strength and broaden your horizons.”
Especially as Li Si's strength increases, his influence in the game plot becomes more and more important, especially since the final battle in Huangshi City is about to become Li Si's one-man show!
Now that the boss is recruiting people to build his new territory, it is very likely that the next important plot may occur in Linhai or the southern part of the mainland.
To be honest, if there is no system to carry him around, even if Li Si has the ability of [Almighty One], it would be quite difficult to fully improve his strength without any shortcomings.
At the Baige Chamber of Commerce, Li Si started the new mission [Go to New Territory] directly on the Chamber of Commerce interface that day. So far, thousands of players have signed up.
If it's not because of cowardice, it's because the other party has a bigger conspiracy secretly.
Ludwig is still immersed in training Mo Yun. Mo Yun lives in dire straits every day, and there is nothing new for him in the past.
but
Li Si closed the player forum. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with this guy.
But now, Li Si can shout out without hesitation,
System, add points!
The emergence of the system completely accelerated the improvement of Li Si's strength, which also enabled Li Si to complete the leap from bronze to gold level within one year.
Even if it is wrong, it doesn't matter. At most, it is equivalent to a trip from the Kingdom of Fes to the Kingdom of Berdych. Most players have not left the country where they were born after joining the game.
“But again, a person's time is limited. I hope you can clarify your goals instead of letting complicated abilities confuse your eyes.”
However, there is a good opportunity for Li Si now.
In the past few days, Li Si has collected all the Fes nobles who are apparently related to Count Petrie. There is no one with a similar aura to Li Si's hand.
Although many things are progressing smoothly, there is no news about the mastermind behind the Church of All Beasts.
Especially the arcanist, a special profession that requires wisdom, time and concentration.
If the opponent runs away because of a guilty conscience, Li Si can also catch the opponent's clues.
This situation is very troublesome.
This means that the process is all wrong and the result is all right?
But in a sense, this is what Li Si has been trying to achieve for some time, to make players subconsciously regard him as one of the vanes for the direction of the plot.
Lees is also observing whether there are any nobles who have suddenly disappeared recently. After all, the other party must have discovered that something happened to Earl Petrie.
In contrast, Li Si didn't have any good solution. He could only slowly continue to investigate the remaining Fes nobles.
He understood Stephens' concerns.
Stephens looked at Li Si and understood what he meant, so he teleported away without saying anything more.
“Yes, I understand, teacher.”
Unfortunately, nothing unusual happened either.
Li Si also logged into the game forum and took a look. It can be seen that Zhaozhao is still working very hard for his mission, but what he said does make sense.
Following Li Si to the Luo'ao Peninsula is also a very rare opportunity.
Faced with such a threat, the other party still did not respond.
If the other party consciously avoids direct contact with Count Petrie, it will be more troublesome for Lis to find that person.
ChaoZhao not only published videos and posts about Li Si and Ludwig on the player forum, but also focused on speculations about the future game process.
The more this happened, the more worried Li Si felt.
Li Si reluctantly stood up, took out a piece of clean clothes from the storage ring and changed into it.
That is the palace party held by the royal family of Fes tomorrow.
Looking at Ludwig in the distance who was still struggling to survive the magic attack, he shook his head and left directly.
Li Si nodded and said seriously.
Even, the worst case scenario for Li Si is that the man behind the scenes is not a Fes nobleman, but this situation is relatively unlikely in Li Si's opinion.
Li Si is also paying attention to the subsequent development of what was handed over to Clawzhao last time.
Of course this is what Li Si expected to happen.
It is true that the main plot line of version 3.0 is near the port of Danerluo.
Although Li Si asked Clawclaw to recruit people, he did not mention the requirements for recruiting people. Clawclaw would naturally recruit players by default.
According to Zhuozhao, Li Si is the unwavering protagonist of the plot, and his movements are likely to foreshadow the development of future game plots. Whether it is the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos] in Bright Light City or the war between the two countries in Huangshi City, Li Si will Played a very important role.
After all, Count Petrie's status is already quite important, and it is very likely that he is the core subordinate of the mastermind behind the scenes.
You can't trouble Teacher Stephens just because of the Church of All Beasts, right?
That's really killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.
This is preparation for the title canonization ceremony to be held at the Royal Palace of Fes a week later.
Tomorrow night, most of the Fez nobles in Bright City will attend the party.
In other words, Li Si has an opportunity to compare and confirm the auras of most nobles at once.
Even if no discovery is made, the scope of suspicion can be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After all, if you can weaken the power of the Church of All Beasts as much as possible in Bright City, you will have to rely entirely on your own strength when you get to Dan'erluo Port.
Hmm~ Right.
Li Si suddenly remembered something and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
The next day, the Royal Palace of Fez,
The setting sun has set, leaving only a faint red glow on the sky, and at the same time, it is gradually being swallowed up by the ink-black night.
At this time, the entire Kingdom of Fez was completely shrouded in bright lights. The long red carpet extended from the entrance of the palace to the tall main hall. The servants of the palace decorated the entire banquet hall with golden ribbons and red curtains. It is extremely gorgeous and reflects the confidence, strength and wealth of the Kingdom of Fes.
The banquet has not yet begun, but the long dining table is already filled with all kinds of exquisite and tempting delicacies, including Northland smoked chicken, pan-fried scallops with black mushrooms, cold meat platter with fez, beef tenderloin with garlic and black pepper, and braised beef with matsutake foie gras. , shrimp with vegetable salad, birch wood steamed lamb chops, raw tuna fillets, salmon risotto and more.
As if to highlight the victory in the war against the Berdych Kingdom, there were a lot more seafood delicacies from the Berdych Kingdom at this dinner.
As dusk fell, one after another Fes nobles came to the palace banquet, but now most of the people present were small nobles, mainly barons and viscounts.
Just like the former Marquis of Kane, this kind of small nobles must rely on the Fes royal family to survive. This kind of party where many big shots appear is the most important thing for them, and they all dress up to attend the party hoping to make friends at the party. The real big shots in the Kingdom of Fes.
Viscount Kane, who was once addicted to magic and missed many aristocratic evening parties, was simply an alien in their eyes, but this view has disappeared among the nobles of Bright City.
The rest is all praise and envy for Marquis Kane. Many noble gentlemen even used Li Si as an example to encourage their own children to calm down, improve their strength and make a career.
Of course, the big belly of those aristocratic gentlemen is not very convincing.
At this moment, a two-horse carriage that was obviously much more gorgeous than the surrounding nobles slowly drove over and stopped at the main entrance of the palace, attracting the attention of many people around.
The attendant who was already standing aside saw the eye-catching eagle badge with spread wings on the carriage, and quickly stepped forward a little faster.
Opening the door gently, the young attendant bowed and said in a very respectful tone:
“Dear Marquis Kane, welcome to your arrival!”
Most of the attendants who can serve the Fes royal family in the palace are children of Fes noble families, but they are not the eldest son of the family and have no inheritance rights.
They also received aristocratic education and were polite and thoughtful. They were all people with outstanding eyesight and good dancing skills.
Similarly, their status is not low. Even some ordinary barons and viscounts do not need them to greet them in person. It is enough for ordinary attendants to lead them.
But the attendant knew very well that the Marquis Kane in front of him was not a simple figure.
Whether it is strength or status, most of the Dukes of the Kingdom of Fes cannot compare to the young man in front of them.
At the same time, he was well-informed and knew that this person was one of the protagonists of tonight's palace party. It wouldn't be long before this person was the First Duke of the Kingdom of Fes.
Li Si stepped out of the carriage and waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be led by the attendant.
Li Si turned around, stretched out his right hand towards the carriage, and led a beautiful white-haired girl out of the carriage.
The girl standing next to Li Si seemed a little shy, slightly shrinking her body behind Li Si, but this still could not hide the girl's alluring appearance. The exquisitely tailored purple evening dress perfectly outlined the girl's graceful figure. Her figure and skirt swayed gently with her light steps, like purple waves surging in the night sky.
The white hair does not need too much modification. It is as simple as a silver waterfall pouring, smooth and shiny. Under the magic stone lamp, it shines with a faint light, as if the stars in the Milky Way have fallen on the tips of her hair. Her red eyes are tight. Staring at the young man in front of him, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, showing a bit of girlish uneasiness.
Feeling the warmth close to him, Li Si patted the girl's little hand on his arm and said with a smile:
“Don't be so nervous, Risa.”
“Didn't you agree to attend the dinner party with me? Enjoy it!”
Risa didn't respond. Now she just wanted to hide behind Li Si. The stunning looks from the people around him made her a little uneasy who was used to being alone, but she was more shy.
Master Li Si is so true! I thought I was going to a nobleman's party, but I was led directly to the palace.
Li Si naturally knew the girl's little thoughts, but it was not a problem to stay at home all the time.
He didn't want Risa to stay in the deepest part of the floating city every day like in her previous life, staying at home and getting moldy.
With Risa, who was a little stiff in the banquet hall, Li Si walked towards the banquet hall.
There are not many nobles arriving in the hall now, and none of the big nobles are here.
Logically speaking, Li Si could be a little late, but he had other purposes for coming here, so he naturally didn't care about these details.
When Li Si and Risa appeared in the banquet hall, they attracted the attention of almost everyone present.
Handsome young men and stunning girls will attract everyone's attention wherever they are.
Many nobles were talking in low voices, asking about the identity of the boy and girl in front of them.
After all, with their outstanding appearance and temperament, these two are certainly not ordinary people in Bright Light City, but they are somewhat unfamiliar to them who are keen on socializing.
Soon, someone recognized Li Si.
As an important figure who suddenly rose like a comet in the Kingdom of Fes, the status of Marquis Lis Kane goes without saying. Many people want to get to know Lis.
Although Li Si has rarely attended a few noble dinners and many people have no way to get to know him, many people have obtained Li Si's portrait.
So they can naturally recognize Li Si.
However, Li Si did not pay too much attention to these nobles.
He has already checked with his mental power. The few nobles in front of him are ordinary people, not even extraordinary professionals. Naturally, they cannot avoid his detection.
After looking around, Li Si found that there was no one he knew, so he took Risa to the dining table nearby and started feeding Risa.
The dinner at the palace is naturally extraordinary, the presentation is exquisite and interesting, and the taste is quite good.
Li Si carefully put a piece of beef that was cooked just right into Risa's mouth and chewed it gently. The juice mixed with black pepper and many other spices filled her lips. A blush appeared on Risa's face as white as snow, but Still accepting the feeding from the young master obediently.
Although a noble came to Li Si to salute and talk to him, Li Si responded casually, and the other party saw that he was not very interested, so he said goodbye and walked away.
As time went by, the number of nobles in the banquet hall gradually increased, but there was a deserted area around Li Si and Risa, and no one dared to break this beautiful atmosphere without authorization.
At this time, a dull male voice sounded,
“Oh, my dear Li Si, long time no see!”
