I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 417

Chapter 417: Marquis Kate was caught off guard

 Cate City, in a merchant's inn,

Since the Marquis of Kate is rich in products, many merchant teams from the north come here to sell supplies and purchase local specialty products to bring back to the north. Many elven specialties can even be purchased here.

Because those traders from other human kingdoms do not know the trade routes into the Elf Forest, and they may even face attacks from the elves if they go to the Elf Forest rashly, so instead of venturing to the Elf Forest, it is better to do this in Kate City. Procurement in important hub cities in the Kingdom.

There are many chambers of commerce and even traveling merchants in the Bolin Kingdom that specialize in running caravans between the Bolin Kingdom and the Elf Forest. They sell the goods purchased from the elves at a premium to the caravans from the Northern Chamber of Commerce in order to earn enough money. profit.

It is precisely because of this that Kate City is more prosperous than the human cities Li Si passed before, and is not even much inferior to Arcot City, the king of the Bolin Kingdom.

Although the Kate family that controls this land is only a marquis family, it is actually quite powerful. Many nobles of the Bolin Kingdom believe that the Kate family has enough strength to become the next ducal family of the Bolin Kingdom.

However, all this has nothing to do with August now.

 After being thrown into the hotel by Li Si and Angela, Augustus stayed in the room without going out.

Even lunch was delivered to the door of the room by the waiter.

Augus is so careful, but there is nothing he can do.

Leaning against the window edge and looking at the familiar city outside the window, Augustus let out a long, dull sigh.

 As the Marquis of Kate, the youngest son of the lord of this land, this city can be said to be the place where he has lived the longest.

 But now when he saw this city, Augustus couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

 Afraid of others discovering your vampire identity?

Afraid that others will dislike you and exclude you?

Or are you afraid that your father will no longer recognize you as his son?

Augus was a little irritable. To be honest, he didn't care about the inheritance rights of the Kate family.

 In other words, he has long since given up competing with his brother for the inheritance rights of the Kate family.

  He knows that he is not good at handling these affairs in the territory, and prefers to live a leisurely and unrestrained life, so he has long had no thoughts in this regard.

 For this reason, he was even extremely lax in training his extraordinary professional abilities. He was only a bronze-level warrior before.

Perhaps because of this reason, the relationship between Augustus and his brother is not bad, and his father loves him very much and meets many of his requests.

But even so, his father's serious old face and old-fashioned demeanor made August very worried that his father would never accept him again.

At that time, with the help of Angela's power, Augustus once tried to get rid of Andre's restraint on himself, but the timidity in his heart stopped him.

 When he was chased by the vampire Valentine and Maureen and escaped from Caitlin, August breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

Perhaps this is good, it helped me make a choice.

 Maybe I will never come back to this city again.

Augus thought so, but the development of things was not as expected after all.

　　Not long after he left Kate City, he unexpectedly returned here with Li Si and Lady Angela.

Even though he didn't know what Li Si and Angela were doing, Augustus could guess that they were looking for the gold-level vampire Andre.

Although he didn't know what Angela and the others wanted to do and why they wanted to take him with them, they finally returned to the city.

Possibly due to the invisible connection with this land, Augustus's heart began to move faintly again, and the thoughts that he wanted to bury deep in his heart surged up again.

 Shaked his head, August closed the window and lay down on the bed.

It's useless to think about so many things. It's better to recharge your batteries and wait for Lady Angela's call.

There was a knock on the door. Augustus sat up and asked instead of opening the door directly:

 “Who?”

 “Augus? Open the door!”

 This is Lord Li Si's voice.

Augus reacted immediately, stood up quickly, walked to the door, and opened the door.

Li Si, dressed in luxurious black clothes, was standing at the door with a smile on his face, like a graceful aristocratic young man.

 Angela, who was wearing a sky blue slim-fitting dress, followed Li Si, completely revealing the girl's perfect and slim figure, attracting the attention of everyone passing by in the corridor.

At this moment, Angela seemed to be awake, following Li Si with a sleepy expression, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with her left hand.

 “Augus, are you okay now?”

Li Si looked at August with a smile in his eyes.

“It's okay, please give me your instructions, Master Li Si.”

Seeing this, August bowed slightly and saluted.

　　Although he is a dependent of Lady Angela, Lady Angela also ordered him to obey Lady Li Si's arrangements.

 For this reason, he was very curious about the relationship between Li Si and Angela. He didn't know why Angela, a powerful vampire, was so close to Li Si.

“Then come with me, let's go somewhere.”

"OK."

Upon seeing this, Augustus nodded quickly and followed behind Li Si and Angela.

Following Li Si behind him, he walked out of the hotel, boarded a high-end carriage that had been parked aside, and set off while the carriage swayed leisurely.

Augustus looked at the street where the carriage window continued to disappear, feeling a little curious.

Is this the way to the city center?

　　Looking away, he found that Li Si, who was sitting opposite him, was reading a magic book in his hand, looking leisurely.

But Angela lay lazily sleeping on Li Si's lap, completely losing her previous aloof temperament, and more like a cute girl next door.

But where are Li Si and Ms. Angela going in such formal attire?

Augus looked at the street outside the window. He was quite familiar with Kate City. As the carriage moved forward, the possible destination area in his mind also shrank.

After a moment, Augustus suddenly remembered something and quickly turned his head to look at Li Si.

“Lord Li Si, are we on the way to Kate Castle?”

Li Si put down the book in his hand and said with a smile:

 “Have you noticed? The response is quite fast!”

Ogus felt his throat was a little dry and said in a deep voice:

 “Lord Li Si, why are you?”

“Don't think too much, I really have something to do with Marquis Kate this time.”

"I won't say anything to Lord Kate if you don't want to."

Li Si said with a smile, looking at the young man in front of him.

Augus breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know why he felt a little lost in his heart.

 “But, I think you might not miss this opportunity?”

 Hearing Li Si's words, Augustus opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak.

 “In this case, I will take it as your acquiescence.”

Li Si glanced at Augustus with a smile, lowered his head and continued to read the magic book in his hand.

 After understanding what Augustus had faced before, Li Si directly understood why Augustus did not leave with Angela before, but stayed in Kate City and was hunted down by Andre's subordinates.

Young man!

 The more you think, the more mistakes you make.

 When encountering this kind of situation, it is often best to just go ahead without caring about anything.

Augustus in front of him was obviously still struggling, but he had actually made a decision in his heart.

Kate's Castle,

This castle is located in the center of Kate City. It is made of heavy stones. Time has carved mottled marks on its surface, making it appear simple and solemn. The castle's spiers tower into the sky, as if to pierce the sky, showing its majesty and unyieldingness. On the top of the tower, there is a bright flag flying, embroidered with the Timberwolf emblem that symbolizes the Kate family, fluttering in the wind, looking solemn and sacred.

At the gate of the castle, two guards stood solemnly wearing heavy armor and holding spears. Their armor is also engraved with exquisite patterns that complement the castle's decoration. The guards' eyes were as bright as fire, and they watched everything around them vigilantly, doing their duty not to let go of any suspicious characters.

  Kate Castle is different from Kate City. As a trading city, Kate City's walls are not tall and are more prepared to protect against the invasion of monsters.

Kate's Castle is more solid and strict, and the steadfast look of the guards exudes a serious atmosphere at all times.

The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Kate's Castle, and the door opened.

Wearing a tight robe that covered his figure, Augustus stepped out of the car first and stood aside respectfully.

 This was a temporary decision he made. He did not reject Li Si's suggestion, but he still wanted to cover it up a little to avoid being discovered by others in advance.

Subsequently, Li Si, who was wearing a black dress, also stepped out of the carriage and stood by the door. He stretched out his hand tall and elegantly, with his palm upward, as if to invite a distinguished guest, revealing an unspoken gentlemanly demeanor. As the car curtain lifted, a slender and white hand appeared in the moonlight, with slender fingers like jade, gently resting on the man's hand. A white-haired girl wearing a sky blue dress slowly stepped out of the carriage. .

 The hem of the skirt swayed gently with the girl's steps, like ripples on the water. Her figure is tall and well-proportioned, as if she is a masterpiece carefully carved by nature.

However, her face was as cold as an iceberg, and her eyes were deep and bright, without a trace of smile, as if she could see through all worldly prosperity and hypocrisy. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, but it was not because of joy, but because of a kind of innate arrogance and nobility.

　　Although her face is expressionless, her charm is like moonlight, filling the air silently. Her beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in the noble temperament she exudes from the inside out. She is like a bright star, shining alone in the night sky. She can become the most dazzling existence without anyone's support.

　　The guards standing in front of the castle were shocked for a moment, and they hesitated to step forward to ask.

Li Si looked at Angela in front of him with satisfaction and nodded happily.

 It's not worth his trouble, it's still very effective.

In order to make Angela look more like the eldest lady of the Duke of Burns family, Lis asked Angela to keep her mind empty and not think about anything except delicious food.

In this way, Angela, who focused entirely on delicious food, returned to the state of this iceberg beauty.

I have to say, it looks really scary!

If possible, Li Si wouldn't want to do this.

But if he wanted to see Marquis Kate or even get help from him, even if Li Si showed his identity as the Duke of Fes, it might not be possible.

After all, the Kingdom of Fes is too far away from the Kingdom of Bolin. Let alone meeting, the other party is likely to be a liar.

 But Angela is different.

After all, she is a real little princess of the Burns family. When she appeared in Arcot City, the information about her had already been grasped by the great nobles of the Kingdom of Pauline.

With the status of the Duke of Burns family, it is quite easy to meet the Marquis Kate.

  After all, Marquis Kate is at best considered to be the next Duke of the Kingdom of Pauline, and Duke Burns is undoubtedly the most powerful nobleman in the Kingdom of Pauline besides the royal family.

 Just a moment,

Hearing the guard's report, the steward of Kate Castle hurried out in a hurry.

 “Miss Angela Burns, dear!”

 “Mr. Lis Kane, Gui'an!”

 The plump butler bent down and said respectfully.

“After receiving the letter of your visit yesterday, Marquis Kate has been waiting for you in the reception room.”

 “Please follow me.”

Li Si nodded. After he came back from Andre's place yesterday, he also sent a letter to the castle, using Angela's name.

As for himself, he is a friend of Angela and a nobleman from another country who came to visit the Kingdom of Bolin.

"Who is this"

The housekeeper looked at August and asked with a frown.

 I don't know why, but he always felt that the person in front of him, whose appearance he could not see clearly, gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.

 Uncle Haka

Augustus looked at the chubby butler in front of him through the brim of his hat and sighed in his heart.

“This is Miss Angela's escort, specially arranged by the Duke of Burns.”

Li Si said naturally with a smile on his face.

 “Is that so?”

Steward Haka glanced at August again and did not continue to speak. Instead, he walked in front and guided Li Si and others towards the castle.

 “This is it.”

A moment later, the housekeeper who led Li Si and others to the second floor of the castle gently opened a door, bowed and said to Li Si and others.

Li Si nodded and walked into the reception room side by side with Angela.

 In the spacious room, the gold and crimson velvet curtains danced in the wind, as if whispering the glory of the past. On the walls, exquisite murals show the glory and style of Kate's ancestors through the generations, and every stroke reveals the rich heritage of the Kate family.

In the center of the room, a small solid wood table with intricate carvings was placed quietly, covered with a satin tablecloth embroidered with the family crest, which looked both solemn and elegant. The surrounding sofas are all carefully made, inlaid with gems and pearls, shining with an alluring luster.

Sitting at the main table was an old man with gray hair, who looked to be in his fifties. His hair was like frosty autumn leaves, silvery white mixed with a few strands of blue hair, showing the traces of time. His face is resolute and deep, like a rock that has been baptized by the years, tough and steady. Sitting on the solid wood bench with complicated carvings, his posture is upright and majestic, like an unshakable mountain, with a solemn and majestic aura.

I didn't expect Marquis Kate to be a gold-level strongman. I felt that he should be a warrior professional.

Li Si thought in his mind, and walked up to sit down with Angela.

When Augustus saw the old man, his body trembled slightly, and then quickly stabilized, standing not far from Angela.

 “Welcome two distinguished guests to Kate City.”

 “I am Sebino Kate.”

The old man nodded towards Li Si and Angela and said in a low voice.

“Do you think this is Miss Angela Burns?”

“I have admired your father for a long time, and I really hope to visit the Duke of Burns one day.”

Angela nodded slightly at Li Si's prompting, but her eyes had already fallen on the exquisite snacks on the small table.

But that's enough, I'll do the rest myself.

Li Si shook his head, looked at Sabino and said:

 “I'm glad to have the opportunity to meet you, my lord, the Marquis.”

At this time, Sabino's eyes shifted to Li Si.

　　When a few people walked in just now, all his eyes were attracted to Angela.

 First, it's because of Angela's unique temperament and outstanding appearance, but now Sabino can only admire her.

 It's more about Angela's identity.

 The Burns family is the most mysterious and recognized as the most powerful noble family in the Kingdom of Pauline.

 Their members rarely appear in front of outsiders, almost only move within the family territory, and rarely know anyone from the Burns family.

I don't know why, the Burns family seems to be not interested in anything, not wealth, power, etc. The tax rate that the people in their territory need to pay is also the lowest, so low that it is almost negligible.

 But the strength of the Burns family has never declined for countless years, and the tragic endings of countless people who provoked the Burns family in the past undoubtedly reflect this.

 A few days ago, Sabino received intelligence from the Royal Capital. What concerned him most was the appearance of new members of the Burns family in the Royal Capital.

 This made Sabino, who was obsessed with developing his family and hoped to obtain the title of Duke, very concerned.

Perhaps, the Burns family will not help him obtain the dukedom, but it is enough as long as they do not object.

There is no way, the Burns family's status in the Bolin Kingdom is so transcendent.

 But recently, Sabino, who has been troubled by many things, has stopped paying attention to matters in the royal capital. He has no clues about August's disappearance.

 As a result, the eldest lady of the Burns family suddenly came to Kate City and wanted to visit him, which made him a little curious.

 But when Sabino looked at Li Si, he instantly realized that he was wrong.

As the only gold-level professional in the family, he is very confident and confident that no one can harm him in front of him.

 This is one of the reasons why the Kate family has flourished in recent years.

 For this reason, there is no guard guarding the room except the one who came in and out just now.

 But when he looked at Li Si, he suddenly felt that the originally peaceful aura of the young man in front of him had changed.

The aura that was originally like a calm stream, in Marquis Kate's eyes, was like an endless sea suddenly raging with violent winds, with storms and thunder raging between the huge waves.

Is this Lis Kane a gold-level powerhouse? !

 Sabino's hands tightly grasped the handguards on both sides of the sofa, and his body tensed up instantly.

impossible!

Even a gold-level powerhouse can't make himself feel such a big threat just by relying on his breath?

 Could it be the power of the extraordinary realm? !

Sabino's eyes were solemn, and he looked nervously at Li Si, who was calm.

“Sir Li Si, do you need my help in any way?”
