Chapter 369 Palace Banquet

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 was also doing physical exercises to quickly become familiar with his 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].

Stephens had some surprise on his face when he saw Li Si skillfully using the warrior skill Furious Slash and the assassin skill Invisibility.

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 said with a smile:

"Your talent is very, very special, Li Si."

"I have never seen such a talent as yours. I can imagine that you could choose to learn a lot."

Stephens looked at Lis and said with some emotion:

"With such a good talent, Li Si, you can really learn more about the abilities of other professions. It will be very helpful to improve your strength and broaden your horizons."

"But again, a person's time is limited. I hope you can clarify the goals in your heart instead of letting complicated abilities confuse your eyes."

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

Li Si nodded and said seriously.

He understands Stephens' concerns.

To be honest, if there is no system with him, even if Li Si has the ability of the [Almighty One], it will 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 them.

Looking at Ludwig in the distance who was still struggling to survive 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 what he had handed over to Clawzhao 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.

Claw Claw 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 worked very hard for his mission, but what he said did make sense.

According to Zhuozhao, Li Si is an ironclad protagonist of the plot, and his movements are likely to foreshadow the development of future game plots. Whether it is the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos] in Bright Light City or the war between the two countries in Huangshi City, Li Si will Played a very important role.

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.

Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter. 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 Clawclaw to recruit people, he did not mention the requirements for recruiting people. Clawclaw would naturally recruit players by default.

Of course, this is what Li Si expected to happen.

but

Li Si closed the player forum. In a sense, there was 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 this because the process is all wrong and the result is all right?

But in a sense, this is what Li Si has wanted to achieve for some time, so that players will 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 had checked all the Fez nobles that Mora had collected and were apparently related to Count Petrie, and there was 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 Lis to find that person.

Li Si was also observing whether there were any nobles who 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, and 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 react.

If it's not because of cowardice, it's because the other party has a bigger conspiracy secretly.

This is still being tolerated.

In contrast, Li Si didn't have any good ideas. He 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 Feisi noble, 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 Fes royal family tomorrow.

This is preparation for the knighthood ceremony held at the Fes Palace a week later.

Tomorrow night, most of the Fez nobles in Bright Light 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 couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After all, if the power of the Church of All Beasts can be weakened as much as possible in Bright 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, the Royal Palace of Fez,

The setting sun sets, leaving only a faint red glow on the sky, and at the same time, it is gradually being swallowed up by the ink-black night.

At this time, the entire Kingdom of Fez was completely shrouded in bright lights. The long red carpet extended from the entrance of the palace to the tall main hall. The servants of the palace decorated the entire banquet hall with golden ribbons and red curtains. It is extremely gorgeous and reflects the confidence, strength 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, including Northland smoked chicken, pan-fried scallops with black mushrooms, cold meat platter with fez, beef tenderloin with garlic and black pepper, and braised beef with matsutake foie gras. , shrimp with vegetable salad, birch wood steamed lamb chops, 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 Fes nobles came to the palace banquet, but now most of the people present were minor 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 the party hoping to make friends at the party. The real big shots in the Kingdom of Fes.

Viscount Kane, who was once obsessed with magic and missed many aristocratic evenings, seemed to them to be an alien. However, this view has disappeared among the nobles of Bright City.

The rest was 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 gentlemen is not very convincing.

At this moment, a two-horse 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 with great respect:

"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 also received aristocratic education and were courteous and thoughtful. They were all people with outstanding eyesight and good dancing skills.

Similarly, their status is not low, and 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.

Regardless of strength or status, most of the Dukes of the Kingdom of Fes 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 indicate that he did not need to be guided 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 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 perfectly outlined the girl's graceful figure. Her figure and skirt swayed gently with her light steps, like purple waves surging in the night sky.

The white hair does not need too much modification. It is as simple as a silver waterfall pouring, smooth and shiny. Under the magic stone lamp, it shines with a faint light, as if the stars in the Milky Way have fallen on the tips of her hair. Her red eyes are tight. Staring at the young man in front of him, his thick eyelashes trembled slightly, showing a bit of girlish uneasiness.

Feeling the warmth close to him, Li Si patted the girl's little hand on his arm and said with a smile:

"Don't be so nervous, Risa."

"Didn't you agree to attend 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 him made her a little uneasy who was used to being alone, but she was more shy.

Master Li Si, it’s 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.

Taking 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.

Logically speaking, Li Si could be a little late, but he had other purposes for coming here, so he naturally didn'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 definitely 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 had hardly attended a few aristocratic dinners, and many people who wanted to know him had no way of getting to know him, many people still got Li Si's portrait.

So they can naturally recognize Li Si.

However, Li Si did not pay too much attention to these nobles.

He had already checked them with his mental power. The few nobles in front of him were ordinary people, not even extraordinary professionals. Naturally, they could not 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. A blush appeared on Risa's face as white as snow, but Still accepting the feeding from the young master obediently.

Although a nobleman came to Li Si to salute and talk to him, Li Si casually responded with a few words. Seeing that he was not very interested, the noble said goodbye and walked away.

As time went by, the number of nobles in the banquet hall gradually increased, but there was a deserted area around Li Si and Risa, and 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!"
