Chapter 361: Your Generous Majesty the King
Brilliant City, Fes Palace.
Li Si sat leisurely in the dedicated reception room, slowly enjoying the exquisite snacks and coffee prepared by the palace maid.
Teacher Stephens likes sweeter cookie desserts, and Li Si also likes soft and sweet cakes.
After casually taking a look at the white skin exposed under the skirts of the maids, Li Si looked at it critically and then shook his head.
Maybe it’s because he’s been spending too much time with Risa recently, and Li Si found that he’s been getting more and more restless recently.
“Hey!”
Li Si laughed at himself, this is not what he meant. Great place for these things.
The palace is still the same as before, luxurious and grand, but not like the Berdych Palace with extravagant golden decorations everywhere, whether it is the polite servants or the decorations mainly in dark colors. It gives people a calm and atmospheric feeling.
This is the gap between the Kingdom of Berdych and the Kingdom of Fes.
Li Si also admitted that King Morton was much stronger than King John Berdych.
So even though there was the matter of Prince Atian, Li Si still had a certain respect for this man in his heart.
What's more, Li Si's request to see His Majesty King Morton this time was strictly speaking for something.
Li Si didn't wait long before he heard the sound of the door being pushed open from the outside.
Standing up, Li Si saw Morton Faith's slightly bowed body, although his face still looked so resolute, with a gentle smile.
But Li Si felt that His Majesty was a bit older than the last time they met.
And following King Morton was His Excellency Duke Vosys Harder.
Li Si put his right hand on his chest and gave a standard noble salute to the king.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Morton.”
King Morton waved his hand and said kindly:
"I didn't expect that our outstanding Marquis Kane has returned to Bright City."
King Morton walked to the sofa in the center and sat down with a smile on his face:
" Bivis has already told me what you did in the Berdych Kingdom. I didn’t expect our Lisi to be so outstanding!”
“Marquis Kane has indeed done a lot of things beyond our imagination, right? The kingdom has made a great contribution."
Duke Harder said meticulously, with the most serious expression present.
"This is just what I should do."
Li Si also said with a smile, slightly modestly.
“Haha, this is no small matter.”
King Morton gently patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile.
"Whether it is the Kingdom of Dillon or the Kingdom of Berdych, everything you do, Li Si, surprises me."
"As expected of your Excellency [Flame of Judgment], I am becoming more and more interested in your future."
"I think you can become as powerful a person as your teacher!"
King Morton praised Li Si without any concealment, which made people feel like they were in the spring breeze.
In fact, King Morton was indeed very happy.
He had thought many times before declaring and launching war against the Berdych Kingdom.
Whether he successfully captured the Berdych Kingdom, or his offensive was frustrated, or he faced a situation where the Berdych Kingdom and the Dillon Kingdom were attacking from both sides, he had thought about how to deal with it.
No matter how the future develops, he must have countermeasures and be prepared to face failure.
There is no way, this is the responsibility that he shoulders. He wants to hand over a better Kingdom of Fes to Taiya.
At the same time, I also want to resolve all domestic conflicts and crises as much as possible while he is still healthy.
Although it seems a bit wishful thinking, the old king really thinks so.
But later, Morton Face found that many of his preparations were in vain, and things developed beyond his expectations.
Whether it was Earl Sauron who secretly arranged to be in the north of the kingdom long in advance, or the reserve army that was going to be sent to the Kingdom of Berdych, they were all useless in the end.
The Kingdom of Dillon has no time to take care of itself. The [Devil's Gate] in Ice Peak City has almost exhausted most of the kingdom's power. Now they can only curl up and lick their wounds and slowly regain their strength.
As for the Berdych Kingdom, the royal capital has fallen at this time, and there is not much single-resistance capability at all.
Even their king has been killed by their own side.
The person who did these things was the handsome young man sitting in front of him and smiling.
King Morton glanced at Li Si, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
To be honest, King Morton had never thought of such a beautiful situation now, and it really surprised him.
"I just came back not long ago, Li Si."
King Morton said with a smile and took a slight sip of the black tea.
"I just came back two days ago. I went to visit the teacher first."
Li Si nodded and took out a delicate wooden box from the storage ring.
"This is the gift I brought to His Majesty."
"Oh?"
King Morton looked at the wooden box in Li Si's hand curiously, almost a human head size.
"Our Marquis of Kane has brought King Berdych's head here, right?"
Morton sat up slightly and teased Li Si with a smile.
He naturally knew that King John of Berdych was killed by the young man in front of him.
“Of course not.”
Li Si said with a smile and gently opened the lid of the wooden box.
Several people present noticed that the box was made of dark red woolen padding, and placed on top of it was a pure gold shining crown.
This crown is made of pure gold, with a hollow center, surrounded by filigree gold threads and enamel-outlined decorations. It is dotted with scattered diamonds, guarding the center and sides like stars. There are one large and three small pure golden gemstones on the side, exuding the brilliant light of a six-pointed star in the sunlight.
Morton gently stroked the crown placed in front of him, already having some expectations in his mind.
Foxis glanced at His Majesty the King and asked Li Si:
"Is this true?"
"It's King Berdych's crown. I got this crown from the king and brought it back to present to His Majesty King Morton."
"Okay, so good!"
King Morton smiled happily, and then coughed violently.
Waving his hand, he didn't pay attention to the look on the side of Fuxis who wanted to persuade.
For Morton, who is the king of Fes, it does not matter how precious the material used in a crown is. He has the wealth of a kingdom and does not care about it.
But the crown in front of him is King Berdych's crown, which in some way represents King Berdych's authority.
Now it is in his hands, which is almost equal to the possession of the sovereignty of the Berdych Kingdom.
Although this is only conceptual and not directly equivalent, it also made King Morton quite happy.
"Naturally, although King Berdych's body was also brought back by me, thinking about it, this is the only one suitable to present to you."
As he said this, Li Si While observing the condition of King Morton, I feel that the old king is getting weaker and weaker
King Morton looked at Li Si, smiled and said easily:
"Little Li Si, you really gave me a surprise!"
Li Si smiled, which was convenient for him. matter.
“Haha, you have done so much, I don’t even know what reward I can give you!”
King Morton looked at Li Si and said with a little meaning:
< br>
"Why don't you tell Li Si what do you want?" Li Si was silent for a moment and said naturally:
"Your Majesty the King, I do have something I want, and I hope you can reward me."
“Oh?”
King Morton smiled and motioned for Li Si to continue.
"When I came back this time, I passed by the Port of Darro in the Kingdom of Berdych. I would like to ask you to grant it to me as a territory."
"Huh?"
King Morton It seemed a bit surprising that Li Si would make this request.
Delluo Port, he naturally knew, was the most prosperous port city in the Berdych Kingdom and the largest and most important city besides Huangshi City.
For ordinary nobles, that is indeed a piece of fat.
But in comparison, he thought.
Seeing this, Vosys quickly looked at Li Si and said:
"Why does our Marquis Kane take a fancy to that territory? Although that It is indeed a pretty good place, but if you stay in Bright Light City, Li Si, you might get more.”
Forsyth simply didn’t have a hidden meaning in his words, and he was afraid that Li Si wouldn’t understand what they were talking about. What, it’s just a matter of making it clear.
Of course Li Si knew what Fuxis was referring to, but he would not give up Port Danelluo.
To be honest, it is indeed tempting to think about the future of Bright City, but it is a bit comfortable.
And the Port of Danerluo is related to his future layout.
Whether it is Azera Floating City or the [Phillips Crystal] that will fall in the future, it is extremely important to Li Si.
If you had been in Bright Light City, you might still be able to break through and become a legendary powerhouse in the future, but that would be the limit.
For the Kingdom of Fes, a legendary mage is powerful enough, but for Li Si, who knows that the world of Gaia will fall into chaos in the future, he is naturally not satisfied with an ordinary legendary arcanist.
He wants to become a strong man at the top like Teacher [Flame of Judgment], or even stronger!
Seemingly noticing the determination in Li Si’s eyes, King Morton, who had originally planned to persuade, did not refuse.
Although in his mind, Li Si is the person who will accompany and assist Taiya in the future.
“With your credit, Li Si, a Dan Erluo Port is nothing to you.”
King Morton was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Let's do this, I will upgrade your title to Duke. As for the territory, it will be the Loo Peninsula including the Port of Dan'erluo!"
Huh? !
Li Si, who has lived on the Pearl Sea for a long time, naturally knows about the Loou Peninsula. It is a piece of land extending to the sea in the south of the Berdych Kingdom. It echoes the Taizé Peninsula in the north of the mainland. The two peninsulas are in the middle. The outer sea area is the Pearl Sea.
Delro Port is located on the Luo Peninsula, closer to the Fanor continent.
It can be seen from this that the area of Loou Peninsula is vast, almost equivalent to the land of two and a half dukes.
What's more, compared with the desolate Taizé Peninsula, the land on the Loeo Peninsula is quite fertile and is one of the richest areas in the Berdych Kingdom.
If the entire Luo'ao Peninsula is really canonized to Li Si, it will be almost equivalent to a new principality.
No other duke in the Kingdom of Fes has ever had such a huge territory!
Even Li Si did not expect King Morton to be so generous!
In the eyes of King Morton, this is nothing.
After all, Li Si's achievements are indeed exaggerated. Compared with leading the decisive battle of the Berdych Kingdom and winning the victory, what is more important is that he almost subdued the Dillon Kingdom.
King Morton also knew that after that, the legendary mage Stephens and the legendary assassin both went to the Kingdom of Dilon.
This allowed the Kingdom of Fes to eliminate the biggest hidden danger in the war against the Kingdom of Berdych and receive almost no influence from external kingdoms.
After he launched a war against the Berdych Kingdom, more and more human kingdoms began to get ready to take action.
According to the information received by King Morton, many kings have already misfired on their respective borders, and they can hardly hide their greedy thoughts anymore.
King Morton is keenly aware that he seems to have opened a Pandora's box, and the future is becoming increasingly uncontrollable for him.
But what is certain is that the future war sweeping the entire continent is not far away.
The more strength the Kingdom of Fes can retain at this time, the more sure it will be of protecting itself in the future.
It’s even possible to take the opportunity to go one step further!
So, King Morton needs to unite all possible forces.
The [Flame of Judgment] and the legendary assassin Joyce behind Li Si are extremely important existences.
In fact, with the talent that Li Si has shown now, it is very likely that he will also be a legendary arcanist in the future.
Beavis had already told him that Li Si had successfully been promoted to gold and had defeated Archmage Wendel, the leader of the Berdych Royal Mage Group, head-on!
And Li Si is not yet twenty years old, and his talent is even more exaggerated than that of little Taiya.
What's more, looking at the look of little Taiya, Li Si is very likely to become the prince chosen by Taiya in the future.
In this case, why are they so clearly separated when they are all one family?
Li Si did not expect King Morton to think so much, and even if he knew, he would not care.
After all, King Morton stood at the starting point of the Fes Kingdom, and everything he did was to win over him, which did no harm to him at all.
The sugar-coated bullets are filled with sugar hearts!
“Li Si, you don’t have many knights and soldiers yet, do you?”
King Morton looked at Lis and asked.
"Yes."
Li Si nodded. Although after becoming a Marquis, the number of knights and guard teams he could form increased significantly, he did not put this into practice when he went out for training. Taking the matter seriously, naturally there was no progress, and it was still the golden warrior Welf with a few novices.
It is precisely because of this that he recruited the two golden powerhouses from Danerluo Port as his team.
“When the time comes, I will ask Bivis to transfer some soldiers from the Golden Lion Knights to you.”
"After all, the territory is too big and it is troublesome to have no available subordinates."
King Morton thought for a moment and said decisively.
Holy shit!
Adoptive father!
Li Si did not expect King Morton to be so willing.
The Knights of the Golden Lion are the most elite and powerful legion in the kingdom, and they are also the absolute confidant of the old king.
This is an army formed entirely by extraordinary professionals!
For a moment, Li Si seemed to see kindness on the face of King Morton, and almost bowed his head and bowed!
Having such a god-like teammate is infinitely better than that King Berdych!
Li Si controlled his emotions and said with a surprised expression:
"Thank you for your generosity. Your mind is admirable."
Forsyth opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say any words of advice.
He could see that the king had made up his mind, and he also vaguely guessed why the king would do this.
It's good. It's worth the effort to tie Li Si to the chariot of Fes Kingdom.
“In a few days, let’s prepare for the canonization ceremony of our little Li Si!”
"I'll leave it to you, Foxis!"
Foxis immediately bowed in response.
"Little Lis, take a good rest for a few days. Soon our Kingdom of Fes will have the youngest Duke!"
King Morton looked at Liss and smiled. He said, and then felt a little regretful:
“It’s a pity that little Taiya is not here, and she and Alvin went out for training, otherwise she would be very happy to know about your situation.”
Li Si noticed King Morton's hint. He had just received a lot of benefits and immediately expressed his stance:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"I will definitely get along well with Princess Ataya. , Long time no see, I miss her a little too!"
Li Si said solemnly, does this count as being ordered to eat soft food?
