Chapter 370 The traitor is myself?
Fez Palace Party,
Hearing this familiar voice, Li Si, who was feeding Risa, was stunned and turned around to look.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black and gold evening gown. Although his temples were slightly white, his steps were steady and strong. He was walking over with a smile and said to Li Si.
Li Si thought for a moment and remembered the identity of the man in front of him.
Duke House, the only family that has inherited the founding meritorious service of the Kingdom of Fes, is one of the representatives of the court nobles of the Kingdom of Fes.
“Nice to meet you, His Excellency Duke House.”
Li Si patted Risa’s little hand, and Risa obediently swallowed the sweet shrimp meat in her mouth and covered it. Zui stood quietly behind Li Si.
Duke House also noticed Risa behind Li Si, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
“I didn’t expect that Sir Kane, every time the female companion beside him would be so outstanding. Ah!”
Duke House said with a smile, somewhat flatteringly.
Li Si rarely attended aristocratic parties, but the last time he appeared at a party at the Palace of Fes, there was also a stunning girl with red hair and purple eyes accompanying him.
At that time, it shocked the eyes of many nobles, but the girl has never been seen since then. Unexpectedly, after Li Si returned, Risa's appearance also attracted everyone's attention.
Li Si felt Risa's eyes quietly coming from behind him, and his expression was naturally not embarrassing.
He knew that Duke House was talking about Taiya, but now the princess was practicing outside, and few people present knew her true identity.
"Long time no see, you're kidding again!"
Li Si said with a smile, and then reached out to shake hands with Duke House.
The first moment Li Si came into contact with Duke House, his body was slightly stunned, but he quickly covered it up.
"Then I won't disturb you. You are the protagonist of today's party!"
Duke House said with a smile. The palace party tonight is for the canonization ceremony a week later. Prepare, and Lis is undoubtedly the one who gets the most attention.
Li Si smiled and signaled to Duke House, and then turned around after the other party left to join another group of nobles.
His face, which was still smiling, instantly calmed down, with a trace of thought on his face.
Although he had been feeding Risa just now, most of his attention was still on observing the newly arrived nobles.
Until just now, he has had no development, and he thought he would be able to draw water from a bamboo basket today.
As a result, just now, the moment Li Si shook hands with Duke House, the black breath in his body suddenly trembled.
This is why Li Si was stunned for a moment.
In this case, could it be that Duke House is the mastermind behind the Church of All Beasts?
If it were him, it would really be possible!
Although the House family completely gave up the territory they owned during the period of a certain King of Fes and became a palace duke, after countless years of accumulation, the strength and connections of the House family are still quite strong. .
That’s why Duke House can become one of the leaders of the palace nobles.
If it were Duke House, it would not be impossible to prepare for the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos] without anyone noticing.
Similarly, if it is really him, it is very possible to have a palace count's subordinates.
However, this is not yet certain that Duke House is the man behind the Church of Beasts that he is looking for.
In just a short moment, Li Si had many thoughts running through his mind, and finally he made a decision.
Finding out the man behind the scenes as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment, and it is necessary to take a little risk for this.
Li Si raised his head, rubbed Risa's head gently, and said with a smile:
"Risa, I have something to do now. Can you go to the lounge and wait for me for a while?"
Although it felt like Master Li Si was coaxing a child, Risa still nodded obediently and followed Li Si into the lounge next to the banquet hall.
After settling Risa, Li Si turned back to the banquet hall and walked among the guests.
After declining the invitations from other nobles, it didn’t take long for Li Si to find his target.
At the dining table not far away, Duke House was holding a wine glass and laughingly chatting with the nobles surrounding him.
Seemingly noticing that Li Si was walking towards him, Duke House raised his glass of wine and gestured to Li Si, inviting Li Si to join him.
Seeing this, Li Si naturally walked in the direction of Duke House with a smile on his face.
The little nobles surrounding Duke House were also surprised. They did not expect that flattering Duke House would lead to such a reward, and they could get to know the most popular Marquis Kane in the Kingdom of Fes.
Li Si approached Duke House step by step, and took a glass of golden champagne from the waiter passing by.
When Lis was only two or three meters away from Duke House, Duke House was very happy and was about to introduce Lis to the surrounding noble guests
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Li Si let go of the champagne in his right hand, and a sharp sword appeared in his hand. In an instant, it was like silver lightning shining coldly in the happy party, and it stabbed directly into the chest of Duke House.
The surrounding guests couldn't react at all, and the flattering smiles froze on their faces before turning into panic.
Duke House also noticed Li Si's sneak attack instantly, but Li Si's movements were too fast and decisive, and he was unprepared and had no time to react.
The endless desire to survive made Duke House desperately mobilize the power in his body without any reservation. Layers of blood-colored light appeared in front of him, forming several layers of blood-light shields to meet the cold light pierced by Li Si.
Chi~
The bloody shield in front of Duke House tried its best to block Li Si's attack, but in the end it collapsed in front of Li Si's sword.
After the last trace of blood dissipated, Li Si's long sword directly cut through the luxurious and exquisite clothes on Duke House's chest and stabbed into his chest.
However, after breaking through the defense, the long sword in Li Si's hand also exhausted most of its power. After piercing Duke House's body, it was blocked by the tough muscles and bones.
Scarlet blood continued to gush out from the wound, dyeing Duke House's snow-white shirt red, and the shocking blush gradually spread.
Duke House’s right hand tightly held the sword that had pierced his chest, with a look of disbelief and shock on his face.
But the corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly, as if he noticed something interesting.
The stalemate between the two at this time was in sharp contrast with the grand palace dinner around them, like a shocking and cruel picture.
Ding!
After Li Si took action, the entire banquet hall was silent for a moment, and everyone was shocked by what Li Si did.
It was not until the sound of the glass wine glass in Li Si's hand turning into crystal on the ground that the momentary calm was broken.
Why did Marquis Kane assassinate the noble Duke of House in public?
What does he want to do? Are you crazy?
And Li Si didn't care about the opinions of everyone around him, and stared at Duke House in front of him.
He guessed right!
Duke House is indeed the Church of All Beasts believer he has been looking for, at the top of Bright Light City.
In the case of Li Si's forced sneak attack, Duke House was still able to react and only suffered minor injuries.
His strength is undoubtedly above gold, and may even be a high-level gold existence.
The scent of the bloody radiance gushing out of his body was very familiar to Li Si. Isn't that the lingering smell of blood on the members of the Church of All Beasts?
Li Si has experienced this kind of depraved aura that contains madness and ominousness.
More importantly, Li Si’s system panel displayed Duke House’s information.
——

Looking at the system panel, Duke House’s main profession is Fallen Druid, and his secondary profession is Attendant of Beasts.
No need to think about it, the people from the Church of All Beasts have not escaped!
Although Li Si has never seen the secondary profession of Duke House’s Divine Attendant of Beasts, there is a high probability that occupations with the entry [ Divine Attendant ] are closely related to the gods they believe in. Basically, They are all high-ranking members of the Church of God.
Li Si grinned and said with a friendly smile:
“My dear Duke House, I have been looking for you for a long time!”
“Do you think so, Lord Attendant of the God of Beasts? ?" The whispers of the surrounding nobles suddenly fell silent, and they all moved away from Duke House and Lis.
Although the incident happened suddenly, the nobles of Fez are not all useless. Some people have noticed the extremely ominous aura on Duke House.
Hearing Li Si say the words of Duke House's Divine Attendant of Beasts, he couldn't help but believe it a little bit and stepped back.
You know, the [Blood Sacrifice Riot] launched by the Church of All Beasts in the lower city of Bright Light City last year, the crazy and extremely dangerous scene was still fresh in the memory of all the nobles.
The blood-colored curtain that reaches into the sky and the strong smell of blood that lingers for days in the entire Bright City are enough to make the nobles who have enjoyed peace for too long feel that their lives are threatened.
Li Si fiercely pulled out his sword and looked at Duke House, who was clutching his chest, as if he was sure of victory.
Duke House looked gloomy. Originally, he was still thinking about how to hide this matter.
After all, he is quite confident in his disguise, and it is impossible for others to find evidence against him from him or his family.
What about the aura of depravity on his body? That nobleman doesn’t have any trump cards?
The worst thing is to refuse to admit it. Li Si's words alone cannot shake his status as the palace duke.
But when Li Si said "The Divine Attendant of Ten Thousand Beasts", he immediately pulled off his underwear!
What is going on?
Not to mention other people, even his confidant Count Petrie only knew that he was the divine envoy of the Church of All Beasts. He had never told anyone else about this biggest and most important secret.
The only ones who can know are the absolute top leaders of the Church of All Beasts!
No matter what, Li Si shouldn’t know about this?
There is a mole!
This thought flashed through Duke House's mind.
He gritted his teeth and thought quickly in his mind, who betrayed him?
Fear Priest Kaiser?
The person he trusted the most was dead. He died in the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos]. This was something Duke House had confirmed.
The leader of the Church of All Beasts?
No, he has already made his attitude clear and retreated directly to his base camp on the Fanor continent. Even if he is really dead, the leader will have to bear the wrath of my lord.
Your Majesty Alvin?
That’s not right. Although the legendary crown prince has never liked him, his goal has always been to be stronger, and he will not betray him for the sake of competition.
Duke House's brain was in confusion. No one should reveal his identity?
But Li Sizhen told his secret with certainty.
Could it be
Duke House was left with a very ridiculous idea.
Did I betray myself? When did you let your dreams slip?
Before Duke House could figure out the situation, Li Si's sharp aura that was approaching had already brought him an extremely strong sense of threat.
He couldn't think about it anymore and quickly thought of a way to escape.
Feeling the strong aura of the Editor-in-Chief of Beasts mark on Li Si, Duke House began to feel annoyed and regretful.
Damn it!
I originally planned to attack and kill Li Si in these few days, but I didn't expect that such an accident would happen.
Although the preparations have been completed, His Majesty Alvin and the legendary His Majesty the [Plague Cult] have also arrived in the Bright City, but it still takes time to arrive.
You must hold it back!
Duke House looked at the somewhat flustered nobles around him and took a calculated look at them.
If that doesn't work, control some of the nobles first to delay.
The true identity has been exposed anyway, and the identity of Duke of Fes must be given up.
Thinking of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
You must know that his original purpose of joining the Church of All Beasts was to restore the glory of his ancestors, and he was also dissatisfied with what the Fes royal family had done to the family.
After all, he values his family title very much, but who knew he would have to give it up now.
Duke House glanced at Li Si resentfully, but was surprised to find that Li Si was looking at him with interest.
"I'm curious."
"I'm stalling for time. What are you waiting for?"
Li Si said with a smile, putting away the long sword in his hand.
Duke House noticed something was wrong and immediately wanted to leave.
At this moment, a blazing white light erupted between the two of them, and a violent wind blew the nobles in the hall to and fro.
When the light dissipated, Li Si and Duke House were still there.
More than ten kilometers away from Bright Light City, there is a deserted hill.
The space was distorted, and two figures fell from mid-air.
It was Lis and Duke House who were in the Palace of Fes just now.
Duke House adjusted his body shape and landed gently on the hill.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Duke House quickly noticed that Bright City was not a short distance away.
[Forced Space Teleportation Technique]!
Li Si just used this space spell to forcefully teleport the two of them to the wasteland outside Bright Light City, thus eliminating Duke House's idea of kidnapping hostages.
“Hu~”
Duke House took a deep breath and released his right hand that had been placed in front of him.
I saw that the wound caused by Li Si had barely healed and was no longer bleeding.
As fallen druids, their physical resilience is still quite strong.
"As expected of a disciple of [Flame of Judgment], Li Si, your space spell is already quite powerful!"
Duke House said in a calm tone, but it was burning surging under the calmness. The anger arose.
"It's just a pity that you seem to be unlucky."
As Duke House finished speaking, three figures appeared not far behind him.
The two stood side by side at the front, and the other stood respectfully behind.
Duke House turned around and saluted, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty Alvin!"
"Your Majesty Garcia!"
A turbulent and terrifying aura emanated from the two people standing in the middle, pressing directly towards where Li Si was.
Feeling this ferocious and terrifying aura, Li Si's nerves were frantically warning him of the death threat in front of him.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Li Si grinned and said with a wry smile:
"No way. Is it so unlucky?"
Li Si has felt this kind of momentum before, it is the pressure that a legendary strong person can bring.
In other words, the people standing in front of Li Si now are two truly legendary powerhouses.
Is this what Duke House is secretly planning?
Li Si had no time to think.
Teacher, help!
