Chapter 369 Palace Banquet
The Kane Family Mansion,
In the next few days, in addition to going to the First Magic Workshop to receive special training from Mr. Stephens, Li Si also Perform physical exercises and quickly become familiar with your strengthened body.
But this time, Li Si did not continue to hide his talent for mastering other professional abilities in front of [Flame of Judgment].
When Stephens saw Li Si skillfully using the warrior skill of slashing and the assassin skill of invisibility, there was some surprise on his face.
It's not like he has never seen people with amazing talents who can master the abilities of two or three professions, but this is the first time he has seen Li Si's talent in mastering various professions without any restrictions.
Looking at Li Si who was lying on the ground panting with interest, Stephens smiled and said:
"Your talent is very, very special, Li Si."
"I have never seen such a talent as yours. I can imagine that you can choose to learn a lot."
Stephens looked at Li Si and said with some emotion:
"With such a good talent, you can really learn more about the abilities of other professions Li Si, which will be very helpful to improve your strength and broaden your horizons."
"But again, a person's time is limited Yes, I hope you can clarify your goals and not let complicated abilities confuse your eyes."
"Yes, I understand, teacher"
Li Si nodded and said seriously.
He understood Stephens' concerns.
To be honest, if Li Si didn't have a system with him, even if Li Si had the ability of the [Almighty One], it would be quite difficult to fully improve his strength without any shortcomings.
Especially the arcanist, a special profession that requires wisdom, time and concentration.
But now, Li Si can shout out without hesitation,
System, add some points!
The emergence of the system completely accelerated the improvement of Li Si's strength, which also enabled Li Si to complete the leap from bronze to gold within one year.
Stephens looked at Li Si and understood what he meant, so he teleported away without saying anything more.
Li Si reluctantly stood up, took out a piece of clean clothes from the storage ring and changed into it.
Looking at Ludwig in the distance who was still barely holding on under the magic attack, he shook his head and left directly.
Ludwig was still immersed in training Mo Yun. Mo Yun lived in dire straits every day, and there was nothing new for him in the past.
Li Si was also concerned about the follow-up development of the matter he had given to Pawpaw last time.
At the Baige Chamber of Commerce, Li Si started the new mission [Go to New Territory] directly on the Chamber of Commerce interface that day. So far, thousands of players have signed up.
Zhaozhao not only published videos and posts about Li Si and Ludwig on the player forum, but also highlighted speculations about the future progress of the game.
Li Si also logged into the game forum and took a look. It can be seen that Zhaozhao is still working very hard for his mission, but what he said does make sense.
According to Zhuozhao, Li Si is the determined protagonist of the plot, and his movements are likely to indicate the development of future game plots, whether it is the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos] in Bright Light City or Huangshi City. Li Si played a very important role in the war between the two countries.
Especially as Li Si’s strength increases, his influence in the game plot becomes more and more important, especially since the final battle in Huangshi City is about to become Li Si’s one-man show!
Now that the boss is recruiting people to build his new territory, it is very likely that the next important plot may happen in Linhai or the southern part of the mainland.
It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong. At most it’s equivalent to a trip from the Kingdom of Fes to the Kingdom of Berdych. Most players have never left the country where they were born after joining the game.
Following Li Si to the Luo'ao Peninsula is a rare opportunity.
Although Li Si asked Pawpaw to recruit people, he did not mention the requirements for recruiting people. So Pawpaw naturally recruits players by default.
Of course this is what Li Si expected to happen.
But
Li Si closed the player forum. In a sense, there is nothing wrong with this guy.
It is true that the main plot line of version 3.0 is near the Port of Dan Erluo.
Is the process all wrong and the result all right?
But in a sense, this is also what Li Si has wanted to achieve for some time, so that players can subconsciously regard him as one of the vanes of the plot direction.
Although many things are progressing smoothly, there is no news about the mastermind behind the Church of All Beasts.
In the past few days, Li Si has collected Mora and checked all the Fez nobles who are apparently related to Count Petrie. There is no one with a similar aura to Li Si's hand.
This situation is very troublesome.
If the other party consciously avoids direct contact with Count Petrie, it will be more troublesome for Li Si to find that person.
Li Si is also observing whether there are any nobles who have suddenly disappeared recently. After all, the other party must have discovered that something happened to Earl Petrie.
If the other party runs away because of a guilty conscience, Li Si can also catch clues about the other party.
Unfortunately, nothing unusual happened either.
The more this happened, the more worried Li Si felt.
After all, Count Petrie's status is already quite important. It is very likely that he is the core subordinate of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Faced with such a threat, the other party still did not respond.
If it's not because of cowardice, it's because the other party has a bigger conspiracy secretly.
I am still holding back on this.
In contrast, Li Si had no good solution and could only slowly continue to investigate the remaining Fes nobles.
In fact, the worst case scenario for Li Si is that the mastermind behind the scenes is not a Fes nobleman, but this situation is relatively unlikely in Li Si's opinion.
You can’t trouble Teacher Stephens just because of the Church of Beasts, right?
That would really be killing a chicken with a knife.
However, there is a good opportunity for Li Si now.
That is the palace party held by the Fez royal family tomorrow.
This is preparation for the knighthood ceremony to be held at the Palace of Fes a week later.
Tomorrow night, most of the Fez nobles in Bright City will attend the party.
In other words, Li Si had an opportunity to compare and confirm the auras of most nobles at once.
Even if no discovery is made, the scope of suspicion can be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it, Li Si felt a little anxious. After all, if the power of the Church of All Beasts can be weakened as much as possible in Bright Light City, then we will have to rely entirely on our own strength when we reach Dan Erluo Port.
Yeah~ right.
Li Si suddenly remembered something and disappeared in a flash.
The next day, at the Royal Palace of Fez,
the sun set, leaving only a faint red glow on the sky, and at the same time, it was gradually being swallowed up by the ink-black night.
At this time, the entire Kingdom of Fes was completely shrouded in bright lights. The long red carpet extended from the entrance of the palace to the tall main hall. The palace servants matched the red curtains with golden ribbons. The entire banquet hall was decorated extremely gorgeously, reflecting the confidence, power and wealth of the Kingdom of Fes.
The banquet has not yet begun, but the long dining table is already filled with all kinds of exquisite and tempting delicacies, such as Northland smoked chicken, pan-fried scallops with black mushrooms, cold meat platter with fez, and beef tenderloin with garlic and black pepper. , braised beef with matsutake and foie gras, shrimp with vegetable salad, steamed lamb chops with birch wood, raw tuna fillets, salmon risotto and more.
As if to highlight the victory in the war against the Berdych Kingdom, there were a lot more seafood delicacies from the Berdych Kingdom at this dinner.
As dusk fell, one after another Fez nobles came to the palace banquet, but now most of the people present were small nobles, mainly barons and viscounts.
Just like the former Marquis of Kane, this kind of small nobles must rely on the Fes royal family to survive. This kind of party where many big shots appear is the most important thing for them, and they all dress up to attend. Want to make friends with the real big shots in the Kingdom of Fes at the party.
Viscount Kane, who was once addicted to magic and missed many aristocratic evening parties, was simply an alien in their eyes, but this view has disappeared among the nobles of Bright City.
The rest is all praise and envy for Marquis Kane. Many noble gentlemen even used Li Si as an example to encourage their own children to calm down, improve their strength and make a career.
Of course, the big belly of those aristocratic men is not very convincing.
At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage that was obviously much more gorgeous than the surrounding nobles slowly drove over and stopped at the main entrance of the palace, attracting the attention of many people around.
The attendant who was already standing aside saw the eye-catching eagle badge with spread wings on the carriage, and quickly accelerated his steps forward.
Opening the door gently, the young attendant bowed and said in a very respectful tone:
"Dear Marquis Kane, welcome to your arrival!"
Most of the attendants who can serve the Fes royal family in the palace are children of Fes noble families, but they are not the eldest son of the family and have no inheritance rights.
They have also received aristocratic education and have thoughtful etiquette. They are all people with outstanding eyesight and good dancing skills.
Similarly, their status is not low. Even some ordinary barons and viscounts do not need them to greet them personally. It is enough for ordinary attendants to lead them.
But the attendant knew very well that the Marquis Kane in front of him was no simple figure.
Whether it is strength or status, most of the Dukes of the Fes Kingdom cannot compare to the young man in front of them.
At the same time, he is well-informed and knows that this person is one of the protagonists of tonight's palace party. It won't be long before this person is the First Duke of the Kingdom of Fes.
Li Si stepped out of the carriage and waved his hand to show that he did not need to be led by the attendant.
Li Si turned around and stretched out his right hand towards the carriage, leading a beautiful white-haired girl out of the carriage.
The girl standing next to Li Si seemed to be a little shy, slightly shrinking her body behind Li Si, but this still could not hide the girl's alluring appearance. The exquisitely tailored purple evening dress was just right. The ground outlines the graceful figure of the girl, and the skirt gently swings with her light steps, like purple waves surging in the night sky.
White hair does not need too much modification. It is as simple as silver waterfall pouring, smooth and shiny. Under the magic stone lamp, it shines with a faint light, as if the starlight in the Milky Way falls on her hair. At the top, his red eyes stared closely at the young man in front of him, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly, showing a bit of girlish uneasiness.
Feeling the warmth close to him, Li Si patted the girl's little hand holding her arm and said with a smile:
"Don't be so nervous, Risa."
"I don't agree. Come to the dinner party with me, enjoy it!"
Risa didn't respond. Now she just wanted to hide behind Li Si. The stunning looks from the people around her made her accustomed to being alone a little bit. Uneasy, but mostly shy.
Master Li Si is really true! I thought I was going to a nobleman's party, but I was taken directly to the palace.
Li Si naturally knew the girl's little thoughts, but it was not a problem to stay at home all the time.
He didn't want Risa to stay in the deepest part of the floating city every day like in her previous life, staying at home and getting moldy.
With Risa, who was a little stiff in the banquet hall, Li Si walked towards the banquet hall.
There are not many nobles arriving in the hall now, and none of the big nobles are here.
It stands to reason that Li Si can be a little late, but he has other purposes for coming here, so naturally he doesn't care about these details.
When Li Si and Risa appeared in the banquet hall, they attracted the attention of almost everyone present.
The handsome boy and the stunning girl will attract everyone's attention no matter where they are.
Many nobles were talking in low voices, asking about the identity of the boy and girl in front of them.
After all, with their outstanding appearance and temperament, these two are certainly not ordinary people in Bright Light City, but they are a bit strange to them who are keen on socializing.
Soon, someone recognized Li Si.
As an important figure who suddenly rose like a comet in the Kingdom of Fes, Marquis Lis Kane's status goes without saying. Many people want to get to know Lis.
Although Li Si has rarely attended a few noble dinners, and many people who want to know him have no way to get to know him, many people have obtained Li Si's portrait.
So they can naturally recognize Li Si.
However, Li Si did not pay too much attention to these nobles.
He has already checked with his mental power. The few nobles in front of him are ordinary people, not even extraordinary professionals. Naturally, they cannot avoid his detection.
After looking around, Li Si found that there was no one he knew, so he took Risa to the dining table nearby and started feeding Risa.
The dinner at the palace is naturally extraordinary, the presentation is exquisite and interesting, and the taste is quite good.
Li Si carefully put a piece of beef that was cooked just right into Risa's mouth and chewed it gently. The juice mixed with black pepper and many other spices filled her lips, and Risa's face was as white as snow. There was a hint of blush, but she still accepted the young master's feeding obediently.
Although a noble came to Li Si to salute and talk to him, Li Si casually responded with a few words, but the other party saw that he was not very interested, so he said goodbye and walked away.
As time passed, the number of nobles in the banquet hall gradually increased, but there was a deserted area around Li Si and Risa. No one dared to break this beautiful atmosphere without authorization.
At this time, a dull male voice sounded,
"Oh, my dear Li Si, long time no see!"
