Chapter 382 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
Port of Danl'ro,
When representatives from various noble families arrived, Bernard and Rolando also stood up, preparing to go to see Ivor together.
“Ivor, this guy, is getting bigger and bigger.”
Rolando said with some dissatisfaction, adjusting his gorgeous clothes and the family crest on his chest.
Although the Berdych Kingdom has been destroyed and has become history, these nobles still hold on to their so-called glory.
Bernar, who was dressed in casual clothes, had no expression on his face and just sighed silently in his heart.
He is already thinking about whether to give up uniting these former colleagues.
With this approach, even if cooperation can be achieved this time, it will not last long in the future.
Should it still be the time when the Berdych Kingdom was once upon a time?
In the war between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych, after the first wave of fighting, the Kingdom of Fes was also prepared to take such measures, but the Kingdom of Berdych collapsed thousands of miles away, and the decay of those lords and nobles made Fes The views of Sri Lankan military leaders were shocked.
Why is a young boy sitting in the main seat, while Ivor and Grace, who are supposed to be the protagonists, are standing behind him like escorts, as if they have nothing to do with them.
After Li Si thought about it for a moment, he said to the people opposite him with a smile.
What's more, the fewer competitors, the better!
They are all wanderers who have lost their country at this time and are eager to regain a foothold.
Li Si remembered that this man was once the Duke of the Kingdom of Berdych. He later achieved considerable merit in the Kingdom of Fes in purging the remnants of the Berdych Party who were secretly causing trouble and pacifying the pirates of the Pearl Sea. He was also awarded the title by the Kingdom of Fes. Received the title of Marquis.
Everyone who was not sure what was going on looked at each other for a few times, and then they all sat down at the long table.
“My name is Lis Kane.”
“Welcome everyone!”
But this Bernal is different, this guy is a talent!
Generally speaking, in wars between human kingdoms, apart from the battles between frontal armies and extraordinary professionals, the infiltration of each other is a necessary means.
As for the issue of trust, Li Si is not worried.
They appear in many side plots in Lo'ou Peninsula and Pearl Sea, but they are basically insignificant characters.
These old nobles later wanted to change their ways and continue to cling to the Kingdom of Fes.
This man is one of the few among the old nobles of Berdych who is willing to give up his past noble glory and start over from the Kingdom of Fes.
Led by the waiter, a group of people walked through the corridor of Ivor's mansion and stood in front of the reception room.
After all, even though he was also the Duke of the former Berdych Kingdom, that was only the past after all.
Li Si lightly knocked on the table and looked at the old nobles of the Berdych Kingdom in front of him with a smile.
He can be regarded as one of the best people among the old nobles of Berdych.
If he uses his previous title to ask others, what's the point?
But Bernal is worthy of his attention.
So after reporting to King Morton, the Fez army rarely accepted the surrender of the Berdych nobles, but instead plundered their wealth and territory.
But this is no longer a threat to Li Si now.
They are also the source of a lot of confusion.
Pushing the door open, I saw bright sunlight streaming in slantingly from the glass window on the right side of the reception room, like a golden ribbon dancing in the air.
At the same time, there was a white-haired girl standing next to him. She lowered her head slightly and couldn't see her face clearly under the bangs, but the simple white fringed dress had already outlined the girl's elegant and tranquil temperament.
At the end of the beam of light, a handsome young man sat quietly behind the long table, his figure outlined particularly clearly by the sunlight.
Behind him, Grace and Ivor, the guardians of Darro Port, stood there quietly, not squinting, not paying attention to the surprised looks of the old nobles of Berdych.
Moreover, compared to his own strength, his ability in internal affairs is actually stronger, and he once served as a regional governor for a period of time.
For a moment, Bernard, Rolando and others were stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on.
Anyway, he has the ability to overturn the table, so he doesn't worry about other people having bad intentions and making small moves.
And you can get more land to reward your own people.
“Please sit down.”
Especially for the lords and nobles of the enemy country, if you can successfully win over them and surrender, it will be equivalent to winning a region without any blood.
After all, in this way, the wealth and strength accumulated by the family can be preserved.
He was wearing a white shirt embroidered with gold thread, with the collar slightly open. His temperament was indifferent and a little casual, as if he had everything under control. His hands were gently placed on the table, and his fingers were long and strong, as if he were ready to play beautiful music at any time.
Among the old nobles in front of him, Li Si found that there were still a few "acquaintances".
This is why these Berdych nobles later chose to abandon their territories and flee.
However, Bernal had no intention of persuading him at all.
They found that the resistance and willpower of the lords and nobles to defend their territory were extremely weak. It seemed that direct attack could save more time than coercion.
But they all sat on the side of the long table away from Li Si, looking like they were fighting together.
Um.
Li Si is greedy!
He is in urgent need of such talents now!
With a territory as large as the Luo'ou Peninsula, Li Si is in great need of talents, especially in terms of territory management.
Li Si didn't pay attention at all, but instead focused his attention on Bernal.
“I have already heard your thoughts and ideas from Ivor, but I would like to know in what aspects do you want to cooperate?”
Bernar, who was sitting opposite, heard Li Si's name. Although his face was expressionless, his heart suddenly sank.
It's over.
He knew Lisi Kane's name very well. After choosing to give up his territory and noble title, and leading his family to hide in secret, he naturally would not give up collecting intelligence about the Kingdom of Fes.
This is the capital for the family's comeback.
Lees Kane, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Fes, is a gold-level mage. His teacher is the legendary powerhouse [Flame of Judgment]. He once brazenly killed Archmage Wendel, the leader of the Royal Mage Group of the Kingdom of Berdych, outside Huangshi City.
Benard learned this information from the soldiers of the Fez army. After all, people must have rest and entertainment. It is not difficult to extract such information from the drunken soldiers.
And Lis Kane clearly left after the decisive battle in Huangshi City, why did he appear here?
Looking at the respectful and humble attitudes of Ivor and Grace, Bernal already had new guesses.
Could it be that Port Dan'erluo has become this person's territory?
With his status, it is very likely that King Morton would make such a decision.
I have to say that although Bernal did not receive any news from Bright Light City, he still made a good guess.
Bernar is a bit on pins and needles now.
The proposal they had made with Ivor before was obviously not acceptable to the noble lords here. It was tantamount to dancing and mocking directly in front of Li Si.
No, we have to find a way to get out!
Bernar thought this way, thinking hard about how to find the right opportunity.
Bernal is not the only smart person. There are also several people among the old nobles of Berdych whose expressions are a little strange.
Perhaps they don't know as much as Bernal, but they have all heard of Li Si's name.
Of course, there are also people who have never heard of it
Rolando is one of them. Although his strength is pretty good, the others are average.
He can use his brain, but not much.
Listening to Li Si's words, he found that no one around him said anything, so he took the lead and said:
"Yes, Your Excellency Li Si." "After all, we nobles have been running the Port of Dan'erluo little by little, so naturally we don't want to give up the accumulation here."
Although Rolando didn't know Li Si, Ivor and Grace were standing behind him, and the identity of the young man in front of him was definitely unusual.
He also held back his temper and said with a smile:
“Your Excellency Li Si, if it were you, we would be willing to give you an additional 10% of the commission.”
Li Si looked at Rolando in front of him with interest, smiled and said:
“I don't know what to call you?”
Rolando heard this and said with a little pride:
“I am Rolando Linton, Duke Linton of the Kingdom of Berdych.”
Hmm. Never heard of it.
Confirmed, this should be a dish!
“Your Excellency Li Si, I think you should be the governor appointed by the Kingdom of Fes, right?”
“If you are willing to cooperate, I believe that with our efforts, the future of Port Den Erluo will be even better!”
“You can also have wealth that you never imagined before!”
Rolando thought he was sincere.
In his opinion, a man as young as Li Si can actually order Ivor and Grace. His status is naturally not simple, and he may even be a descendant of those in the Fes army!
Seeing the prosperity of Dan'erluo Port, he thought of ways to win it.
As for whether he is the new lord of Port D'Elro, Rolando thinks it is unlikely.
After all, it has only been a long time since the Fez army broke through Huangshi City and cleaned up the place.
With this little time, it is too late to go to the Brilliant City, the capital of the King of Fes, to accept the canonization of His Majesty the King, and then travel a long distance to get here.
Even he felt that Li Si was probably just a temporary governor, and the Kingdom of Fes might grant this place to other nobles in the future.
At that time, Dan Erluo Port will have nothing to do with Li Si.
If you don't take advantage of this little time to fish one more time, what are you waiting for?
Rolando even thought that after everything became familiar, he could even secretly join forces to kick Li Si out.
Just like they did to those governors sent by the Kingdom of Berdych to Port D'Elro.
Rolando thought proudly and turned to look at his colleagues around him, hoping to find a few people to persuade Li Si.
But he found that few of the old nobles responded to him.
Especially Bernal, sitting beside him like a piece of wood, he didn't even see it in the dark.
In the end, you have to rely on yourself!
Just when Rolando was about to say something more, Li Si suddenly said:
“I heard everything you said clearly, it's quite interesting.”
“How can we cooperate specifically? Can you tell me if you need any help?”
Seeing that Li Si seemed to be a little moved, Rolando also became happy and racked his brains to introduce to Li Si.
Although he believed that as a former Duke, his status should be the most noble one present, but the situation was stronger than others, Rolando still worked very hard to introduce everything that came to mind to Li Si.
ˆFrom secretly cooperating to suppress the prices of merchant shipping goods from other regions, to jointly monopolizing the specialties of Berdych to obtain high profits, etc.
Rolando told everything he had learned before.
After a while, looking at Rolando who seemed a little thirsty, Li Si nodded with satisfaction and said to Ivor beside him:
“Remember? What he said just now, I don't hope to see again in Port Delroy.”
The reason why Li Si talked to Ivor was because he planned to let Ivor stay in Dan Erluo Port, control the space transmission array and supervise everything that happened in Dan Erluo Port.
As for Grace, as a warrior, it is more useful for him to lead the **** team to clean up the magical beasts and rebel forces that appear in the territory of Loou Peninsula.
“Mr. Li Si, what do you mean?”
Rolando heard what Li Si just said. After all, he did not lower his voice and everyone in the room heard it clearly.
Rolando suddenly felt like he had been fooled, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.
“Oh, I didn't mean anything else.”
Li Si glanced at Rolando with a smile and said nonchalantly:
"As the lord of Dan'erluo Port, I welcome you to establish a chamber of commerce in Dan'erluo Port to make profits, but only if you abide by my rules!"
“As for what you just said, don't think about it.”
Rolando gritted his teeth and looked at Lis. He was so angry that he didn't notice Lis' previous self-identification. His mind was filled with Lis's behavior of teasing him like a child.
"Why?"
Rolando suppressed the anger in his heart and did not understand why Li Si did this.
"You can obviously make a lot more money, but do you want to show off in front of your king?"
Facing Rolando's sarcasm, Li Si shook his head, looked at the polished tabletop with his right hand and said:
“You guys can't understand this. I can only say that your former title of duke was purely a matter of fate. No wonder you are so incompetent and furious now.”
boom!
“Damn guy!”
“Do you really think you alone have the final say in Port Dan'erluo?”
Rolando couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly. The chair fell to the floor behind him with a loud noise.
The loss of the title of Duke has always been a secret pain in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he has always maintained his demeanor as a Duke even in normal times.
The anger of having his scars uncovered made him unable to care about anything else.
“Just wait, you will regret it!”
This is not okay!
Bernar, who had been silent all this time, was a little anxious. He had been trying to buy time to find an opportunity to explain to Li Si privately, but he didn't expect that Rolando would fall out in just a short while.
He did not want to be regarded as Rolando's companion and be forced to give up this rare opportunity.
There was room in what Li Si said just now.
Just when he was about to stand up and explain, some warm liquid fell on his face from his right side.
Bernar touched it subconsciously, only to find that his hand was full of scarlet color.
There was a muffled sound, and he turned his head to look to the right. Rolando, who was originally standing on his right, was now only a headless body lying on the ground.
Scarlet liquid spread continuously from the smooth fracture of the neck to the surroundings, and the smell of blood continued to stimulate the nerves of the people around him.
Exclamations came, and the old nobles stood up in disbelief and retreated back.
They are not as arrogant as Rolando. After hearing what Li Si just said, they have already guessed Li Si's identity.
But they didn't expect that Li Si would take action so brazenly and kill Rolando, who had silver-level strength, directly in front of him.
Li Si shook the index finger he just extended and smiled warmly:
“I don't think I will regret it.”
“But you seem to have no chance to regret it.”
