I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Bernal's Allegiance

　　Port of Danl'ro,

Bernar had just left Lis, and was preparing to return to his temporary residence in the port of Darro with lingering fears.

 Ignoring the movement behind him, he separated from the other old nobles and turned into a small alley under the **** of gold-level assassins.

 “Please wait a moment, Lord Bernal.”

 Having not gone far, Bernal heard a voice coming from behind.

He paused, turned around, and found Ivor holding the staff falling from mid-air.

Guards also appeared from the shadows behind Bernal, holding sharp daggers in their hands to watch out for Ivor.

 “Your Excellency Ivor, what else can you do?”

Bernar looked at Ivor who suddenly appeared to stop him and said calmly.

"Your Excellency Bernal, Duke Kane has something to talk to you privately. I wonder if you have time now?"

  If there is a chance, can the family rely on the Duke of Kane and continue the inheritance in this land?

 “Let's go?”

 If there is no place to stay, the family may collapse at any time in the future.

If Li Si has really been canonized as a Duke and obtained the territory of Port Dan'erluo, it would be quite different from his previous speculation.

Li Si turned his head and noticed that Ivor flew over with Bernal.

 He understands that although his family still has strong strength and enough wealth, it is still just a rootless family.

Ivor raised his eyebrows. He didn't care that Bernal continued to follow the guard, but Bernal's behavior was undoubtedly more sincere.

 So there is only one possible situation.

　Judging from Lord Li Si's intention, it seems that he wants to win over the former Duke of Berdych Kingdom.

right!

Only in this way could Ivor and Grace be conquered by Li Si so quickly.

 At other times, he might not have cared so much. After all, there were not many people who dared to take action against the head of the family.

“Pal, go back and wait for me first.”

 It's even possible, and he's made a lot of preparations for it.

He is different from other guards. He was trained by Bernal himself, so he is naturally loyal to Bernal.

 This is a powerful nobleman who is rising!

A lot of thoughts went through his mind in an instant, and Bernal suddenly had other ideas.

 Pal, the gold-level assassin, did not expect that Bernal would not let him continue to follow him, so he spoke anxiously.

 Tsk!

Ivor felt that there was some trouble. If it was as he guessed, it meant that Lis was not a temporary move. He had been thinking about this place before the Port of Dan Erluo was occupied by the Kingdom of Fes.

“It's okay, you go back first!”

 “Lord Bernal, please let me follow you!”

It has not been long since the Port of Dan'erluo was occupied by the Kingdom of Fes. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Kingdom to use an uncertain territory as Li Si's fiefdom at this time.

When Pal saw this, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only follow the order, sneak up and leave here.

He had heard about the former Duke Berdych and knew this low-key but wise man.

 “Your Majesty the Duke!”

 Leave aside Li Si's own strength, he is already stronger than everyone in his family. His subordinates and the forces behind him are very strong.

 That is to say, Port Dan'erluo was the territory Li Si wanted, and he took the initiative to request the canonization of this territory from His Majesty King Morton in advance.

Bernar said in an unquestionable tone and waved his hand.

Bernal nodded, and then said to the gold-level assassin guard standing behind him:

What Ivol said just now has already revealed a lot of information to him.

Ivor held the staff in his hand and said to Bernal.

 But he still remembered the tragic look of Rolando, who was also the Duke of Berdych Kingdom.

 His attitude towards Bernal was much better than when he faced those old nobles just now.

Then without further delay, he cast [Advanced Flying Technique] on Bernal, and the two of them flew towards the outside of the city.

Bernar hesitated for a while and replied in a deep voice.

 “You are here.”

"Um."

 It seems that Li Si Kane values ​​​​Delro Port very much. The center of the family still needs to be adjusted and cannot confront Li Si.

Although the family was once a ducal family of the Berdych Kingdom, the current situation makes it impossible to face Li Si's pressure.

".good."

Ivor stood in front of the two of them and said in a gentle tone.

Has Lis Kane been canonized as a Duke by the Kingdom of Fes?

Bernal looked solemn. According to the information he had collected before, Li Si was still a palace marquis.

If it were other old Berdych nobles, they might still be clinging to their past glory and unwilling to let go, but Bernal is not such a superficial and vulgar person.

Li Si said with a smile, paying some attention to the battle at the rear and looking at Bernal, whom he invited.

After Bernard gave a slight salute to Lis, his attention was attracted by the battle between Risa and Rolando, the gold-level guard.

What surprised him was that the weak girl who was behind Li Si just now was actually fighting on top of the gold-level warrior.

The stormy spell attacks left the gold-level warrior with no ability to resist, and could only block and dodge in a panic.

 As expected, Li Si is not surrounded by simple people.

The strength shown by this girl even surpassed that of Ivor and Grace.

Bernar's mood couldn't help but become more solemn. Now it seemed that the power of his subordinates controlled by Li Si was even stronger than he thought.

There seems to be nothing in my family that can attract the attention of the new Duke.

Li Si didn't expect Risa's battle to have such an effect. After hearing what Bernal called him, he knew that Ivor had already told him a lot.

“Your Excellency Bernal, there were so many people just now, so I wanted to invite you to come over and have a private chat.”

Li Si looked at the calm middle-aged man in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Duke, you are too polite. We just want to have a new place to stay."

Bernar lowered his head slightly and said, keeping his posture very low.

On the way here, he was thinking about why Li Si came to him in private instead of just talking in front of everyone.

After much thought, he felt that there was only one possibility that was more likely.

That means the other party wants to win over you.

To put it more bluntly, Li Si wanted him to serve.

 This is a rare opportunity. Although Bernal also has this idea, he still wants to hear what Li Si has to say.

"It's that simple?"

The corners of Li Si's mouth were slightly raised, and he looked at Bernal in front of him.

“Of course, those ideas we had before were really inappropriate. I didn't know that Port Dan'erluo already belonged to you.”

Benard paused and said in a deep voice:

"But please believe that my family and I do not have such thoughts now."

“As you hope, we are willing to contribute to the construction of Danerluo Port.”

Li Si thought for a while and said directly:

 “If I asked you to work for me, would you do it?”

"Forehead"

Bernal didn't expect Li Si to say this suddenly. He had just secretly expressed his intention in this regard, but he still wanted to hear Li Si's thoughts.

 In other words, what kind of status and power can Li Si provide to Bernal and the family behind him.

Even though Bernal does not care about the glory of the past, he once stood in a high position in the kingdom.

 No matter how strong Li Si is and how good the prospects for territorial development are, it would make no sense if Bernal starts from scratch.

  But this opportunity is really tempting.

 Among other things, Bernal learned that Lis Kane's teacher was the legendary mage [Flame of Judgment].

He himself has such strong strength at a young age, and he may not be able to become a new legendary powerhouse in the future.

The meaning is different!

When faced with a choice, Bernal's mood was also quite ups and downs.

Li Si didn't urge Bernal in the slightest, he just smiled and waited aside.

 “Your Majesty, thank you for your consideration.”

"I am willing to offer you my strength. The direction your sword points at is the direction the Byrne family is moving forward!"

Without any further hesitation, Bernal knelt on one knee in front of Li Si, lowered his head and swore allegiance to Li Si.

Li Si smiled and helped Bernal up.

 He is not a king, so he does not need such a complicated loyalty ceremony.

Just the fact that Bernal could so decisively swear allegiance to Lisi, who was much younger than him, can reflect his sincerity.

 “Haha, welcome to join us, Bernal!”

Li Si smiled with some joy.

He did have some tentative intentions before, but he was really happy that Bernal could be so decisive. He doesn't care about Bernal's real thoughts, even if he just wants to invest in him, it doesn't matter.

 He is not a gold coin, no one will fall in love with him for no reason.

 As long as you can serve him honestly, it is enough.

 Li Si has this strength and confidence, and is not worried that his subordinates will betray him.

"yes!"

Bernar stood up from the ground, looked at Li Si and said.

Although he hesitated just now, he quickly made a decision.

 Since Li Si wants to win over him, he must seize this opportunity.

 Besides, it doesn't matter even if he fails, he somewhat understands what the Duke of Kane in front of him means.

Unlike other nobles, he seems to be quite tolerant as long as his bottom line is not touched.

Although he didn't know why, it was clear that Rolando had died by his hands just now, but Bernal felt this way.

 “I'm glad you made this choice.”

Li Si smiled and said that if he could get Bernal's services, then the efforts he spent today would be worth it.

 “I do have something I want to ask you to do.”

 “Please tell me.”

 Bernar nodded and said respectfully.

 Since he has chosen his allegiance, he will naturally correct his position.

　　"Thanks to the favor of His Majesty King Morton, the entire Luo'ao Peninsula will be my fiefdom."

Li Si thought about it and said:

“Except for the port of Dan Erluo, I have never been to other places on the Luo Peninsula, and I don't know much about it.”

Li Si is telling the truth. In his previous life in the game, he did spend some time near the Pearl Sea, but it was all on the sea centered on Dan Erluo Port. As for other areas of the Luo Peninsula, he almost never set foot in it.

Porto d'Arlo is the core and essence of the Looe Peninsula.

 But in fact, the Port of Dan'erluo and the surrounding annexed territories only accounted for one-fifth of the area of ​​the Lo'ou Peninsula.

 In addition to the port of Dan Erluo, the value of other territories on the Loo Peninsula is also quite high.

In addition to the two smaller ports, the land in the center of the Lo'o Peninsula is also quite fertile. Several small rivers flow down from the western mountains and meander through the Lo'o Peninsula, making the central part of the Lo'o Peninsula a It is an important granary of the Berdych Kingdom and is rich in products.

 Although Port of Dan'erluo is the most important place in Li Si's eyes, this does not mean that he has to let other territories go.

The current situation in Port Denelro is pretty good, which is the result of the control of Grace and Ivor, but it is different in other places.

 Where the Fez army had wreaked havoc, he still needed to clean up the mess.

 As the lord of the Loou Peninsula, Li Si was closely related to this land from the first moment he set foot on it.

 Among Li Si's subordinates, there was a lack of talents like Bernal to help him manage the territory.

 Bernar also has this ability, and his performance in his previous life proves everything.

"what do you mean"

Bernal asked tentatively, but to be honest, he really didn't expect that the entire Luo'ou Peninsula was Li Si's territory.

With such a vast land, and so important and prosperous, is King Morton really not worried that Li Si will establish his own business?

Lis Kane is not the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King, is he?

Bernar suppressed the surprise in his heart and began to think about what Li Si meant.

　　The territory of the Byrne family where Bernal is located is not in the Luo peninsula, but in the further north.

However, he still knows something about the fertile land of the Loao Peninsula and the prosperity of this land.

To be honest, if it weren't for the mediocre nobles of the Berdych Kingdom, the development of the Loou Peninsula would be far from what it is now.

“In the short term, I don't plan to make any moves. The main focus will be on the port of Danerluo.”

Li Si solemnly said that he only had one idea for many things, and most of them had to rely on people like Bernal to realize them.

“As long as the rest of the Luo Peninsula is stable, it will be fine.”

“Except for the Port of Dan Erluo, there will be no changes to the other ports, just keep them as they are.”

“Other places must return to the state before the war as soon as possible and let people continue farming as soon as possible.”

“Well, we don't need to collect taxes from the farmers in the territory this year.”

Although Li Si is short of money now, these are necessary comfort measures.

Li Si thought for a while and spoke one by one.

Although he has many plans for the territory and has made a lot of preparations, he also knows that the development of the territory cannot be achieved in one go.

His main job is to let everyone in the Luo Peninsula know his name and know that this land has a new lord.

 After stabilizing people's hearts, many measures can be implemented.

“You will follow me recently, and after taking care of the affairs in Dan Erluo Port, you will patrol the entire territory.”

Li Si told Bernal that although recruiting Bernal was his idea today, he had high hopes for Bernal.

"I will leave most of the things in the territory to Mora. He is the person I trust most."

"But he needs to help me manage the affairs of the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, and he needs to pay more attention to things there."

“Other things in the territory will require you to work harder.”

Li Si looked at Bernal and said solemnly.

 His meaning was obvious, and Bernal naturally understood it.

He did not expect that Li Si would entrust him with such an important matter all of a sudden. In this way, he was qualified to manage the territory of Luo'ao Peninsula.

 This is much more important and critical than the responsibility he imagined.

 For a moment, Bernal didn't react.

 First, he felt that Li Si valued him. If he hadn't seen this Duke of Kane for the first time today, he would have thought that Li Si had known him for a long time.

 Do you trust his ability so much?

 Subsequently, Bernal felt Li Si's strong confidence again.

It seems that no matter what Bernal does, even if he does something privately, Li Si has the confidence to deal with him.

"Thank you for your trust. I swear on the name of the Byrne family that I will not disappoint your expectations."

Bernar asked himself that he was not the kind of person to be emotional, but he was suddenly moved by Li Si.

Perhaps, his decision can lead the Byrne family to a different future?

 Li Si did not pay attention to the change in Bernal's attitude, but began to learn about the specific situation of the Loao Peninsula from Bernal.

 While in Bright City, Li Si collected some information about the Luo'ou Peninsula.

 After all, he only learned about King Morton's generosity later.

 But unfortunately, even the royal library does not have much information about the Looe Peninsula.

Except for a few caravans, they have some knowledge of the Luo'ao Peninsula, but that is not as good as Li Si himself.

Since there is a person like Bernal who understands the actual situation, it is natural to have a good understanding of it.

 Getting things sorted out in the territory as soon as possible so that he can have time and energy to do other things.

Li Si's continuous collection and training of talents can be regarded as having this purpose.

Li Si doesn't want to spend too much energy on territorial matters, and he doesn't have the obsessive-compulsive disorder to control everything. He just leaves everything to the right person.

 In the next period of time, Li Si's most important plan is to explore the Azera floating city.

If he had not just taken control of the territory, it would be inappropriate to completely leave it to others, and exploring the floating city would not be an urgent matter. Li Si would like to be the hands-off shopkeeper now.

 Things in the territory are complicated.

 Lees is ready to hand over the matter between the player and Dan'erluo Port completely to Mora and the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce.

 It has to be said that the appearance of players has brought sufficient manpower to Li Si.

Li Si is now just like the NPC in the previous game, happily instructing the players and assigning many tasks to them, all it costs is a few gold coins.

Li Si went a step further. Not only did he ask the players to work for him, he also wanted to gain experience from the players.

While Li Si and Bernal were talking, the battle behind them also came to an end.

Risa looked at the unconscious warrior and controlled a huge dark blue ice pick to float above his head.

For a long time, I didn't see the warrior get up and dodge. After thinking about Li Si's instructions, Risa cast a few more magic shields on herself to defend against physical attacks, and then fell from the air.

Standing in front of the warrior, Risa was prepared for possible sneak attacks.

Carefully poked the swollen warrior in front of him with his staff. After confirming that the guy had indeed passed out, he happily turned his head and ran behind Li Si in small steps.

Li Si, who had been paying attention behind him, naturally noticed Risa's little movements and patted Risa's little head encouragingly.

 walking in front of the gold-level warrior, he found that he was still breathing.

After thinking about it, Li Si carefully controlled a magic crest that shone with black light and slowly integrated it into the warrior's body.

 The unconscious warrior felt that something was wrong, but he was seriously injured and had no strength at all.

This is the first time he has used [Puppet Crest] to control gold-level professionals. He has only experimented with [Hurricane] before to control pirates.

Let's do this for now, and look back to see if this guy still listens.

correct!

Li Si suddenly thought of a very critical question.

 What is this guy's name?
