Chapter 272 On the New Usage of Suicide Squad Players
Ice Castle Palace, Ken Simon’s room.
Tuk Tuk~
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and in came the second secretary of the Chancellor of Finance, Hans. Cruz.
"Sir Simon, when are you going to inspect those two places today? I have already arranged it."
"Now!"
Li Si stood up from the chair, neatly and simply said.
Had it not been for this man holding a cane in his hand, Hans would have felt like he was facing a real soldier.
"Hans, how is your other job going?"
Li Si put on his coat, tightened his collar, and asked Hans who was standing at the door.
“Everything has been arranged, please rest assured.”
Hans lowered his head and said seriously:
“As for last year’s tax clearance work, we have already arranged it. Special personnel have gone to check, and they are all trustworthy people. Please rest assured.”
“When I went to inform Lord Philip this morning, there was no conflict.”
Although he didn't know whether the financial affairs officer could understand what he meant, Hans still told the "Lord Simon" in front of him exactly what he knew.
“It’s just”
Looking at the hesitation on Hans’s face, Li Si asked without changing his expression:
“What’s the matter, is there something unexpected? "
"No, it's just that I seemed to see you and Lord Philip together yesterday afternoon."
After hesitating for a moment, Hans gritted his teeth and asked the doubts in his heart.
Last night he didn't sleep well all night because of this matter, because the task assigned by Mr. Gilberto this time was really important. If everything went well, he could even become the next financial assistant. That's why Hans is so positive.
But I didn’t expect that Ken Simon, who was supposed to be the leader, actually left with Philip. This situation was like the general surrendering directly before the war officially started.
Originally Hans was going to report this matter to the Chancellor of Finance, but he thought about it and asked first.
“Oh, Philip took me to see Duke Ward. Don’t worry, Sir Alberto knows about this.”
Li Si's expression did not change at all, and he glanced at Hans.
As soon as he came this morning, he reported what happened last night to the king's confidant. As Ken Simon, he was not prepared to make repeated leaps, so he must avoid the suspicion of his boss.
Moreover, this matter must not be hidden from those people.
As for the carriages with the coat of arms of Duke Ward at the entrance of the palace yesterday evening, only a blind person would not notice them.
That was Duke Ward's demonstration. Likewise, His Majesty the King and Gilberto must have noticed it.
This morning, after Li Si described the relevant situation and specifically pointed out his doubts about why he agreed to attend the party, Gilberto did not look surprised at all. Instead, he comforted Li Si and told him not to think too much.
It seems that the king is well aware of Duke Ward's methods.
Mars is already here, and it’s time to start the battle of wits.
"That's good."
Hans breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not what he thought. The Financial Affairs Officer might have his own plans. Lord Gilberto knew Just fine.
Afterwards, the two men, accompanied by minor officials and attendants, went to the Ice Peak City wall and the New Garza Warehouse to conduct inspections.
——
Afternoon, Garza Warehouse.
After inspecting the Bingfeng City wall construction project and having lunch in the morning, Li Si came to the most important goal today, the Garza Warehouse next to the Ice Castle Palace.
"Lord Simon, please come with me."
A middle-aged man in his forties with a round figure stooped forward and walked in front of Li Si, with a flattering smile on his face.
This man is Talib, the steward of the Garza warehouse.
He is actually an official of the Ice Castle Palace, and he doesn’t care much about ordinary officials.
But the Ken Simon in front of him is definitely not that. This boss is one of the kingdom's senior officials, especially the financial affairs officer who holds the kingdom's financial power.
“In this reconstruction, all warehouses are made of the best black rock bricks, and we have made special fire prevention arrangements and have dedicated personnel to monitor them. There will definitely be no fires like before.”
"Yeah."
Li Si nodded and looked around.
All the followers looked at the boss, touching here, looking there, and knocking a few times to listen to the sound.
What is this situation? I have never seen any big boss check so seriously before?
Talib wiped the cold sweat from his head and thought to himself.
You probably can't tell, I just used a slightly, slightly inferior stone.
Talib even silently prayed to the goddess of ice and snow in his heart.
Hans on the side was already used to it. This was how Sir Simon checked the wall of Ice Peak City in the morning. Otherwise, how could he have spent the whole morning.
However, I didn’t expect Lord Simon to be so serious when working, so why did Lord Gilberto leave this matter to him?
Li Si didn’t know that Hans’s psychological activities were so rich.
He checked so carefully, he was just looking for Duke Ward's layout in the Garza warehouse. As for what was at the city wall in the morning, it was just a disguise.
Accompanied by the warehouse manager, Li Si looked around all the warehouses, but found none.
Li Si even used detection magic secretly, but couldn't find anything special.
"Sir Simon, this is the last Warehouse No. 8."
Talib, who had been accompanying the Financial Affairs Officer all afternoon, looked tired and his nerves were highly tense for a long time. It made him a little unable to hold on. This was the first time for him, who had always been pampered, to visit all the warehouses of his subordinates at once.
But fortunately, it’s almost over!
Li Si's expression did not change much, but when he stepped into Warehouse No. 8, a smile appeared on his face.
Finally found it!
The magic waves returning from his feet told Li Si that there was a huge space under the ground here, which should be about the same size as the warehouse in front of him.
I looked at Talib, the warehouse manager, from the corner of my eye, and saw that his expression had not changed much.
The secret place underground should be Duke Ward's arrangement. Isn't this warehouse manager an internal agent of Duke Ward?
But it doesn’t matter!
Li Si pretended to find nothing and checked the warehouse up and down as before. Then he praised Talib for his work and left the Garza warehouse with Hans.
Just kidding, of course Li Si would not dismantle the layout in the warehouse by himself. Wouldn't that directly attract Duke Ward's hatred value to himself?
The main thing is to keep a low profile, and the reported credit is of little use to Li Si. The real Ken Simon has already left for the Kingdom of Fes. After Li Si leaves, everything gained from this identity will be abandoned.
What's more, isn't there a better scapegoat? Those fearless players!
Since entering the Kingdom of Dillon, Li Si has never gone to taverns in every place to recruit players like before.
After all, the purpose of entering the Dilon Kingdom is to cause trouble, and the players will not keep it secret for themselves.
So Li Si could only give up cruelly, looking at the group of high-quality and fresh leeks in the Dilon Kingdom without being able to put his own mark on them.
But that doesn’t mean players can’t put it to use, like now.
Wearing a black cloak and wrapping his body tightly, Li Si walked into the mercenary tavern located in the lower city of Bingfeng City.
This mercenary tavern is quite busy at this time. After all, it is winter now, and there are almost no mercenary commissions that need to go out of the city. Therefore, most of the mercenaries stay in the city, and their only pastime is drinking in the tavern. Bragging to other people.
When Li Si walked in, the tables and chairs in the center of the tavern had been cleared away, and the free space was tightly surrounded by many mercenaries. In the middle, two big and round mercenaries were clashing muscles.
Maybe these were the panicked mercenaries. The onlookers were cheering for the wrestlers they supported. Li Si even saw someone betting on the odds.
Li Si just glanced at it a few times and paid no attention. He was never interested in wrestling with a high concentration of male hormones.
The purpose of his coming here is also very simple, which is to find a few players to issue commissioned tasks.
Soon, Li Si discovered several targets.
Three people with [The Fugitive Virgin of Paris], [Retired Bar Girl] and [Cherry Little Kid] on their heads were standing on the table nearby, happily watching the game in the middle of the tavern.
“I said, go over there, I’m about to fall.”
[Cherry Little Wanduzi] pushed [The Fugitive Madonna of Paris] and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Why don't you let the barrage give way? He obviously has the most room to stand."
The Holy Mother complained, but still gave way carefully to the side.
“I can’t fight, I’m scared!”
Duzi said confidently, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the passionate battle.
Du Zi, Sheng Sheng and Gang Jing are all college students. The four of them share a dormitory. Apart from the three of them, there is also an [antenna short-circuit baby] who is not online.
At this moment, they felt a knock on the table under their feet, and then saw a man in a black cloak looking at the three of them.
"Is something wrong?"
[The Madonna on the Run in Paris] jumped off the table, he could already smell the mission.
But apparently he didn't realize that after he left, the table quickly lost its balance, and Gangjing and Duzi all fell to the ground together with the table.
Bangdang~
duangduangduang~
The first was the sound of the table falling to the ground, and then the sound of the Virgin being hammered.
Li Si stood aside, looking at the scene of the three people playing tricks in front of him, with some hesitation.
Do you want to choose someone else? These three people look unreliable.
Forget it, there seemed to be no famous players in Ice Peak City in the previous life, and no professional players settled in. The three people in front of me were all around level 15, and their equipment was pretty good.
After hesitating for a while, Li Si decided to stick to the three people in front of him.
"Hello, what can I do for you?"
Our Lady straightened her messed up clothes and said with a smile.
He started with the Charisma talent and was the diplomat of their four-person team. Basically, all contact with NPCs was left to him.
As the game progresses, players also find out some tricks of the "Shenqi" game.
For example, players with higher charm attributes are more likely to gain the trust of game NPCs. Maybe this is the benefit of having a handsome face?
“I have a mission, are you guys interested?”
The man in black robe had a low voice, and his face under the hood was blurry, and his appearance could not be clearly seen.
“Of course!”
Seeing that it was really a mission, Our Lady immediately nodded in agreement.
Just kidding, the four of them who were born in Ice Peak City already regret it. Although the four of them are lucky enough to be together, the winter here is really difficult, and there are not many tasks. Compared with those in the south in the player forum In the daily routine posted by players, the Holy Mother felt that she and others were simply practicing hard, which was too boring.
But now the plot finally comes!
"Okay, I think"
As the man in black robe lowered his voice and talked about his commissioned task this time, new tasks were also displayed on the task panels of the Virgin, the Calf, and Gang Jing. hint.
——
[Silver Level Mission: Destroy Garza Warehouse! ]
[Task requirements: The men in black robes need you to destroy the Garza warehouse. This is a very difficult task! Of course, the reward is equally generous! ]
[Task reward: 15W experience points, 1,000 gold coins, and an intermediate fire element gem]
[Tip: The man in black robe will provide special mission props, please use them properly, no Chance to fail! ]——
Looking at the mission reward in front of them, the eyes of the three people lit up.
This reward is too generous for them who are still young bronze!
Without any discussion, the three of them directly chose to accept the task.
"Don't worry, even if we risk our lives, we will complete this task."
The Virgin said impassionedly, patting her chest.
Forget it, don’t think I don’t know you will be resurrected!
Li Si, disguised as a man in black robes, was speechless. Who didn’t know the tricks of these players yet.
Immediately, Li Si took out two gray iron balls the size of fists and handed them to the Virgin.
"This is a high-energy bomb. I need you to place it in Warehouse No. 8 of the Garza Warehouse and just throw it on the ground."
"After this bomb is activated, it will explode in one minute. It will explode, so use it with caution.”
"Of course, if you fail, there will be no reward."
Listening to the deep laughter of the man in black, a new message appeared on the three people's panels.
[Warning: [Mission: Destroy Garza Warehouse! 】If you are caught by the warehouse guards or if Warehouse No. 8 is not destroyed, the mission will be considered a failure! ]
It sounds like it’s a bit troublesome.
“No problem!”
[Our Lady on the Run in Paris] took the bomb handed over by Li Si and looked like she was ready to die heroically at any time.
But when he saw the detailed information about the bomb in his hand, his hands shook involuntarily, and he quickly grabbed it firmly with both hands.
[[Intermediate high-energy bomb]: A product that combines extremely powerful gunpowder with special magic patterns. It detonates and causes 10,000 points of fire damage and 10,000 points of impact damage to targets within a 10*10M range in the core area. This bomb has been specially treated and looks more like a huge firework than a bomb! ]
Wogan!
Ten thousand points of damage!
The Holy Mother looked at the pitiful three-digit health value on her panel. Is this the power of advanced items?
All the players in Bingfeng City standing together are not enough to blow him up!
"That's it. When you complete the mission, I will come here to find you again!"
Li Si nodded, then ignored these three weirdos who were looking down at explosives and stood up. leave.
I hope Your Majesty Lucar and Duke Ward will like this gift!
