Chapter 267 Duke Ward’s Invitation
The Garza Warehouse is one of the largest warehouses in Ice Peak City. It is also an exclusive large warehouse used by the royal family of the Kingdom of Dillon. It stores the supplies that the royal family consumes daily, most of which are from Shipped in from outside the city.
Garza Warehouse is located due west of Ice Peak City, close to the Ice Castle Palace.
The year before last, the Garza Warehouse caught fire and destroyed most of it. However, the City Guards and Royal Guards responded in time and the Ice Castle Palace was not affected.
Last year, the Kingdom’s finances spent a lot of money to rebuild the Garza Warehouse, so this document is also called the New Garza Warehouse.
Li Si remembered clearly that the place where the [Devil's Gate] rose was not in the Garza Warehouse, but during the major event mission at that time, one of the several locations guarded by Duke Ward's men included the Garza Warehouse.
In other words, there must be something wrong with this place!
Let’s see if we can take this opportunity to find the issue of this place and intensify the conflict between the king and Duke Ward in advance.
Hans looked at the two documents in his hand. One was the newly built Garza Warehouse, and the other was the repair work of Bingfeng City's city wall. They are both one of the most important construction tasks in Bingfeng City.
Hans didn’t think that going to these two places to see what was wrong with the financial assistant could be found out. Maybe Ken Simon just wanted to show off to the people above him and show off.
It’s hard to say no.
"I understand, Lord Simon, I will arrange the trip for tomorrow."
"Well, go ahead, organize the people to start checking the tax account book, I will leave it all to you, Tell me if you have anything to say."
Li Si nodded, looking unconcerned and ready to be a mascot.
Hans nodded, received Simon's instructions, and left to complete the work.
Originally, everything had been arranged, including manpower and account books. It just needed Li Si's hand to push him out and use him as a target.
As for whether Philip has any problems?
Just kidding, the purpose is not to really find the problem, as long as it is needed, the problem will "naturally arise".
Huh~
Walking in the corridor of the palace, Hans let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't know why he always felt a little depressed in the office of the Financial Affairs Officer just now.
Is this the pressure of the once extraordinary powerful man?
You should pay more attention!
After Hans left, Li Si stayed in his office, waiting for things that might come to his door at any time.
As a result, one day passed, and no one bothered Li Si except the waiter who came to deliver lunch.
“Is this the mascot?”
Li Si smiled, then packed up and prepared to return to "his" home.
Duoduo~
The knock on the door sounded at an inappropriate time.
Li Si glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, and was a little curious who would come to him at this time.
"Come in!"
The door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a smiling middle-aged man appeared in front of Li Si.
This man looks familiar to Li Si, Finance Auxiliary Fruel Philip!
Lis got a picture of this man from Ken Simon.
Why would he come to me at this time?
Did you notice that I was going to "take action" on him?
"Haha, Ken, are you going back?"
Philip said with a smile, his tone was intimate, and his enthusiasm made others think that the two of them were such good friends!
But Li Si knew that Ken Simon had no personal relationship with this person.
So what are you planning to do?
Li Si was alert in his heart, put on his red and black coat without changing his expression, and asked with his palms on his hands:
"Is something wrong?" He didn't seem to notice Li Si's tough tone, and the smile on Phillip's face became even bigger.
“Duke Ward held a party at the mansion tonight, and he specially asked me to invite Ken to come with you!”
Staring at Ken Simona Li Si, who had a serious face, controlled his brows and frowned slightly, and refused:
"I'm sorry, please apologize to my Duke for me. I have some personal matters tonight."
Are you aware of King Lukar's temptation and are you about to start a fight?
It’s a problem!
Li Si knew very well that neither according to common sense nor his own ideas, he could not accept Philip's invitation at this time.
Before entering Ice Peak City, Li Si made up his mind that the identity of Ken Simon should be kept as low-key as possible. It was Li Si’s other identity that caused trouble in the open.
Reject, and the more decisive the refusal, the more it reflects Ken Simon’s serious and old-fashioned temperament.
"Don't say that."
The smile on Philip's face did not change, he took a few steps forward and patted Li Si on the shoulder.
“Duke Ward has admired you for a long time, Ken.”
“Don’t miss this opportunity!”
Just when Philip touched Li Si’s body , Li Si felt a special spiritual power pouring into his body from the place where the two came into contact.
This spiritual power is very secret and slowly spreads towards Li Si's mind.
If Li Si hadn't been an arcanist, ordinary extraordinary professionals might not have noticed this special spiritual power.
——
[Special spiritual power influence detected! ]
[You accept [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion] Consciousness Determination! ]
[Determining.]
[The effect of Specialty [Blessing of Styx] is triggered! [Jianso] status takes effect! ]
[You are exempt from this ritual judgment! ]——
[Intermediate subconscious suggestion]?
Let me go, how can Philip have this ability?
[Subliminal Suggestion] is a very special skill. Its effect is to influence the target's subconscious mind, causing it to subconsciously make the choice the user wants.
The effect of this skill is very hidden and has no sequelae. It will not be detected, but it also has its flaws.
That means the impact is limited!
For example, if this skill takes effect, it can affect what Li Si chooses to eat for dinner, but it cannot make Li Si continue to work overtime.
This should be the effect of Philip's magic props. Touching my body is to conceal the transmission of magic power and avoid being detected by the palace's detection array.
This should be the effect of a magic item. What does Philip want me to do?
If Ken Simon had lost his extraordinary power, he would not be able to resist the effect of [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion].
Seeing that Li Si was silent for a moment, Philip then asked:
"How about, come with me to Duke Ward's party."
So, just for Want me to see Duke Ward?
"Okay."
Li Si pretended to be influenced by [intermediate subconscious suggestion] and nodded in agreement with Phillip's proposal.
“Let’s go then.”
Philip said with a smile, and walked side by side towards the outside of the Ice Castle Palace with Li Si.
Looking at the little official who noticed the two of them, the smile on Philip's face became a little brighter.
Hans, who noticed the two of them from a distance, looked a little ugly. After hesitating for a while, he walked towards the room of Finance Minister Salas.
Under the leadership of Philip, Lis got into the carriage with the emblem of Duke Ward's family and drove towards the east of the city.
Li Si noticed that there were several more of the same carriage waiting outside the Ice Castle Palace.
