Chapter 13 The first step in gathering intelligence
“Interesting, really interesting.”
Li Si murmured, the girl named Yaer just now was very strange, she clearly accepted the nobility from her behavior Etiquette education, but at the same time giving yourself a sense of freedom and uninhibitedness, which is very contradictory.
And when he caressed the girl's slender hand just now, although it was well maintained, he could clearly feel the girl's tough palm and the fine calluses formed by long-term use of weapons. This seemed to be inconsistent with her status as a noble woman. Too consistent.
Moreover, the man who left with the girl just now was Arsene Hard, the youngest son of Duke Hard’s family whom Mora introduced to her before. Seeing Arsene Hard’s cautious gaze on her The vague look of respect in the girl's eyes all reflected Ya'er's unusual identity.
Shaking his head, Li Si stopped thinking about these things. Maybe they would rarely see each other in the future!
As for the golden shrimp balls that the girl wants to eat, let’s talk about it later! ——
"Miss Ya'er, please don't do this next time. I just went to say hello, and you disappeared in a blink of an eye."
Assen Hard said helplessly The girl next to him said.
“Oh, I’m hungry. There are so many delicious foods and I didn’t go anywhere else!”
The girl named Ya'er waved her hands happily, not paying attention to Yasen's helpless tone.
"Who was the person next to you just now~" Yasen asked. Li Si gave him a somewhat unusual feeling just now. He did not look like the kind of aristocrat who was keen on communication and greedy for enjoyment. His unique temperament seemed You can spot him at first sight when thrown into the crowd.
"He said his name is Li Si Kane, and he seems to be a very good chef!" Ya'er thought for a while and said.
"Lis Kane." Yassen thought for a while, automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and said doubtfully: "Is it that Viscount Kane? Is there a magician at home?"
"I don't know, but he is a very interesting person! He also said that he would make golden shrimp balls for me in the future!!"
"Shrimp balls. Is this a dish?" Yasen was a little speechless. It was all the same. If it was really the Viscount, although he was not a big noble, he probably didn't know how to cook.
Ya'er didn't care at all about Yasen's thoughts, humming and tapping as she walked on the streets at night, her fiery red skirt jumping, just like the girl's mood at the moment.
Yasen had no choice but to follow the girl's footsteps closely. Although Miss Ya'er's strength far exceeded his own, and she had magic props to hide her appearance, if someone really didn't have the foresight to bump into this girl, that would be It's not good to protect yourself.
——
After finally finishing her speech with her father, Maura finished the first round of dance with a shy noble lady, then stepped back to give up her position and left the center of the ball. .
With a friendly smile on her face, Maura walked among the people in the banquet hall, seeming to be looking for something.
“Good guy, I’m working so hard up there, and you’re just hiding here to eat?”
Moura finally found Li Si hiding in the corner, looking at the dinner plate and scraps in front of him. Geng Lengzhi knew that this guy had stayed here and never left.
"Do you want me to go up and say a few words at your birthday party?"
Li Si focused on destroying the chocolate vanilla ice cream that was just served in front of him. He had to say that he could do it in June. Feeling this coolness in the heat should be made with the help of ice magic or ice magic stone. It is really luxurious, but I like it.
Maura waved to her waiter to get some food for her, took a sip of the golden champagne, took a deep breath, and looked at the lively scene in front of her.
"It's not like you don't know. Celebrating my birthday is only part of the reason. The main reason is to provide a social and social occasion."
"Ah, yes, yes"
Li Si didn't bother to pay attention to this guy at all. He dared to guarantee that if he didn't do it, this guy would be worried about whether his own chamber of commerce would go bankrupt.
“You guy!” Mora punched Li Si, but it didn’t use much force.
"But it's really rare that you can come this time. This is your first time attending a party at my house." Li Si recalled it, and it seemed that it was indeed the first time. In the past, except for parties like the royal family's inescapable party every year, he himself It seems that he has never attended any party, so other nobles think that Viscount Kane is very unsociable.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Where is that guy Bernie? I’m here but he’s not here?”
“I heard it seems to be in the school magic workshop. When the research reached a critical stage, he was too busy to leave, but he asked someone to tell me and brought a gift."
Moura stretched out her hand to show Li Si. Wearing a ring inlaid with transparent gemstones on her index finger, it exuded the brilliance of magic.
"The iron armor ring is enchanted with the three-ring iron armor technique. It can be used three times a day. The most rare thing is that it can be automatically triggered when encountering danger."
"You are determined."
This protective ring is worth It also costs hundreds of gold coins. Bernie himself knows that his family conditions are average, so it must have taken a lot of effort to give such an expensive gift.
"Where's yours?" Maura didn't hide it at all and stretched out her hand towards Li Si.
"Your surprise is not ready yet, but it will definitely satisfy you." Li Si spread his hands. He had some ideas that he wanted to implement with Maura and Bernie, but they were not mature yet. After a while.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Maura believed that Li Si wouldn't deceive him on this matter.
"I have something to do. Can you help me?" Li Si said to Moura.
"What is it? New experimental equipment, magic ore or magic pattern scroll?" Mora replied casually. In the past, Li Si asked him to help only to buy these items.
"It's not about buying things. I want you to help me collect information about Bright Light City, mainly about various price levels, abnormal events and so on."
Li Si said after considering it, I still don't know anything about the mastermind behind the scenes. I only know that they will assassinate the nobles including myself at the Holy Festival celebration in three months' time. I can only see if they can get any clues from Mora.
"When did you start caring about this?" Maura glanced at Li Si in surprise.
"I have my own uses." Li Si didn't want to elaborate with Mora. After all, he couldn't say that he predicted that he would be assassinated in three months. Will scare off the grass and scare the snake.
Seeing that Li Si didn't want to talk, Maura stopped asking. After all, helping a brother was nothing, let alone just a little effort.
“Okay, I will give you a summary of the weekly information from our Chamber of Commerce, but it can only be those that do not involve the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce. I will also help you pay attention to other information, and will send it to you if you have any. Come to you."
"Thank you." Li Si nodded. He also thought about asking servants or guards to help him collect some information, but this was too inefficient, so he might as well ask Mora to help.
The Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce. It has its own department personnel who specialize in collecting intelligence. You must know that businessmen are very concerned about all kinds of intelligence. After all, there may be huge business opportunities and golden coins hidden behind ordinary information.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Look at that. That is the second daughter of Count Siani’s family. That is an attractive rose flower. How is it? Are you excited?”
Maura, who had just been normal for a while, relapsed and became deviant.
Li Si sighed, ashamed to be with this person.
“I’m so big”
Brothers, can you give me a collection for reading?)——)+
