Chapter 370 The Traitor Is Myself?
Party at the Palace of Fez,
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, covered her mouth and stood quietly behind Li Si.
Duke House also noticed Risa behind Li Si, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
"I never expected that Sir Kane, the female companion next to you would be so outstanding every time!"
Duke House said with a smile, somewhat flatteringly.
Li Si rarely attended aristocratic parties, but the last time he appeared at the Fes Palace party, 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 since then, the girl has never been seen again. Unexpectedly, after Li Si returned, Risa's appearance also attracted everyone's attention.
Li Si felt Risa's gaze quietly coming from behind him, and his expression was naturally not embarrassing.
He knew that Duke House was talking about Taiya, but the princess was currently practicing outside, and few people present knew her true identity.
"Long time no see, you are joking 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 smiled and said that tonight's palace party is preparing for the canonization ceremony a week later, and Li Si is undoubtedly the person 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, and there was still 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 had not made any progress, and he thought he was going to draw water from a bamboo basket today.
As a result, just now, the moment Li Si shook hands with Duke House, the black aura 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 had completely given 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 House family's strength and connections were still quite strong.
That's why Duke House can become one of the leaders of the court 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 still does not confirm that Duke House is the man behind the Church of Beasts that he is looking for.
In just a short moment, many thoughts went through Li Si's 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, gently rubbed Risa's head, 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.
Upon 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 didn't expect that flattering Duke House would lead to such a reward, and they could get to know the most popular Marquis Kane of 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 full of joy 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 he was holding 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 Duke House's chest.
The surrounding guests couldn't react at all, and the flattering smiles were frozen on their faces before they turned 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 people at this time was in sharp contrast to 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 wasn't 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 the Marquis of 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, his eyes were fixed on Duke House in front of him.
He guessed right!
Duke House was indeed the Church of All Beasts believer he had 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 golden existence.
Li Si was too familiar with the scent of the bloody light gushing out of his body. 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.
There is no need to think about it, the people from the Church of All Beasts have not escaped!
Moreover, although Li Si has never seen Duke House’s secondary profession of Divine Attendant of Beasts, the professions with the entry [ Divine Attendant ] are most likely to be closely related to the gods they believe in, and they are basically high-ranking members of the Church of Gods. .
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 voices of the surrounding nobles talking in low voices suddenly fell silent, and they all moved away from Duke House and Lis.
Although the incident happened suddenly, the nobles of Fes were not all useless. Some people had already 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 Ten Thousand 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 stretched straight into the sky and the strong smell of blood that lingered throughout the Bright City for several days were enough to make the nobles who had enjoyed peace for too long feel that their lives were 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 had a gloomy look on his face. 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.
So 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 the "Godly Attendant of Ten Thousand Beasts" spoken by Li Si immediately pulled off his underwear!
What's happening here?
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's 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 Keizer?
The person he trusted the most was dead, and 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 always disliked him, his goal has always been to be stronger, and he would not betray him for the sake of competition.
Duke House's brain was in confusion. No matter who it was, his identity should not be revealed?
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 kept approaching had already given 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!
He had originally planned to forcibly attack and kill Li Si in the past few days, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen.
Although the preparations have been completed, His Majesty Alvin and the legendary His Majesty from the [Plague Cult] have also arrived in Bright Light City, but it still takes time to arrive.
You must hold it back!
Duke House looked at the flustered nobles around him, and he came up with a plan.
If that doesn't work, control some of the nobles first to delay.
Now that his true identity has been revealed, he must give up his identity as Duke of Fes.
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 valued his family title very much, 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 City, there is a deserted hill.
The space was distorted, and two figures fell from mid-air.
It was Li Si and Duke House who were in the Fes Palace just now.
Duke House adjusted his body shape and landed gently on the hill.
After taking a look at the surrounding environment, Duke House quickly noticed that Bright Light City was not a short distance away.
[Forced Space Teleportation Technique]!
Li Si had 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.
"Hoo~"
Duke House took a deep breath and released his right hand that had been in front of him.
I saw that the wound Li Si had caused had barely healed and was no longer bleeding.
As fallen druids, their physical resilience is quite strong.
"As expected of a disciple of [Flame of Judgment], Li Si, your space spells are already quite powerful!"
Duke House said in a calm tone, but beneath the calm was burning anger.
"It's just a pity that you seem to be unlucky."
As Duke House finished speaking, three figures appeared not far behind him.
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 men 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 broke out on his forehead. Li Si grinned and said with a wry smile:
"No way. 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, what Li Si was standing in front of now were two truly legendary powerhouses.
Is this what Duke House is secretly planning?
Li Si had no time to think.
Teacher, help!
