Chapter 13 The first step in gathering intelligence
"Interesting, really interesting."
Li Si murmured that the girl named Ya'er just now was very strange. Her behavior clearly showed that she had been educated in aristocratic etiquette, but at the same time she gave herself a sense of freedom and unruliness, which was very contradictory.
And when he caressed the girl's slender hand just now, although it was well maintained, he could clearly feel the tough palm of the girl and the fine calluses formed by long-term use of weapons, which did not seem to be consistent with her status as a noble woman.
Moreover, the man who left with the girl just now was Arsene Hard, the youngest son of Duke Hard's family whom Mora introduced to her before. Seeing the cautious look in Asen Hard's eyes as he looked at her and the vague look in his eyes towards the girl, The respectful look on her face reflected Ya'er's unusual identity.
Shaking his head, Li Si stopped thinking about these things. Maybe they would rarely see each other in the future!
As for the golden shrimp balls that the girl wants to eat, let’s talk about it later! ——
"Miss Ya'er, please don't do this next time. I just went to say hello, and you disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Yassen Hard said helplessly to the girl beside him.
"Oh, I'm hungry. There are so many delicious foods, and I didn't go anywhere else!"
The girl named Ya'er waved her hands happily, not paying attention to Yasen's helpless tone.
"Who was the person next to you just now~" Yasen asked. Li Si gave him an unusual feeling just now. He didn't look like the kind of aristocrat who was keen on communication and greedy for enjoyment. His unique temperament seemed to be thrown into the crowd. You can spot him at a glance.
"He said his name is Li Si Kane, and he seems to be a very good chef!" Ya'er thought for a while and said.
"Lis Kane." Yassen thought for a while, automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and said doubtfully: "Is it that Viscount Kane? Is there a magician at home?"
"I don't know, but he is a very interesting person! He also said that he would make golden shrimp balls for me in the future!!"
"Shrimp balls. Is this a dish?" Yassen was a little speechless. It was all the same. If it was really the viscount, although he was not a big noble, he probably didn't know how to cook.
Ya'er didn't care at all about Yasen's thoughts, humming and tapping as she walked on the streets at night, her fiery red skirt jumping up and down, just like the girl's mood at the moment.
Yasen had no choice but to follow the girl's footsteps closely. Although Miss Ya'er's strength far exceeded his own, and she had magic props to hide her appearance, if someone accidentally bumped into this girl, it would be a disadvantage for him to protect her.
——
After finally finishing her speech with her father, Maura finished the first round of dance with a shy noble lady, then stepped back to give up her position and left the center of the dance.
With a friendly smile on her face, Maura walked among the people in the banquet hall, seeming to be looking for something.
"Good guy, I'm working so hard up there, and you're just hiding here to eat?"
Maura finally found Li Si hiding in the corner. Looking at the dinner plate and leftovers in front of him, she knew that this guy had stayed here and never left.
"Do you still want me to come up and say a few words at your birthday party?"
Li Si focused on destroying the chocolate and vanilla ice cream that had just been served in front of him. He had to say that he could feel this coolness in the heat of June. It should have been made with the help of ice magic or ice magic stone. It was indeed luxurious enough, but I like.
Maura waved to her waiter to get some food for her, took a sip of the golden champagne, took a deep breath, and looked at the lively scene in front of her.
"It's not like you don't know. Celebrating my birthday is just part of the reason. The main reason is to provide a place for socializing and socializing."
"Ah, yes yes yes"
Li Si didn't bother to pay attention to this guy at all. He dared to guarantee that if he didn't do it, this guy would worry about whether his company would go bankrupt.
"You guy!" Mora punched Li Si, but it didn't use much force.
"But it's really rare that you can come this time. This is your first time attending a party at my house."
Li Si recalled it, and it seemed that this was indeed the first time. In the past, except for the parties that the royal family could not avoid every year, he had never attended any party, so other nobles thought that Viscount Kane was very unsociable.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Where is that guy Bernie? I'm here but he's not here yet?"
"I heard that the research in the school's magic workshop reached a critical point and he was too busy to leave. However, he asked someone to tell me and brought a gift."
Maura stretched out her hand to show it to Li Si. On her right index finger was a ring set with a transparent gemstone, exuding the brilliance of magic.
"The iron armor ring is enchanted with the three-ring iron armor technique. It can be used three times a day. The most rare thing is that it can be automatically triggered when in danger."
"I'm determined."
This protective ring is worth hundreds of gold coins. Bernie himself knows that his family's conditions are average, so it must have taken a lot of effort to give such an expensive gift.
"Where's yours?" Maura didn't hide it at all and stretched out her hand towards Li Si.
"Your surprise is not ready yet, but it will definitely satisfy you." Li Si spread his hands. He had some ideas that he wanted to implement with Maura and Bernie, but they were not mature yet and it would take some time.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Maura believed that Li Si wouldn't deceive him on this matter.
"I have something to do, can I help you?" Li Si said to Moura.
"What's the matter? New experimental equipment, magic ore or magic pattern scroll?" Mora replied casually. In the past, Li Si only asked him to help him to buy these items.
"It's not about buying things. I want you to help me collect information about Brilliant City, mainly about various price levels, abnormal events, etc."
Li Si thought about it and said that he still knew nothing about the mastermind behind the scenes. He only knew that they would assassinate the nobles including himself at the Holy Festival celebration in three months. He could only see if he could get it from Mora. Got any clues.
"When did you start caring about this?" Maura glanced at Li Si in surprise.
"I have my own uses." Li Si didn't want to tell Mora in detail. After all, he couldn't say that he predicted that he would be assassinated in three months. That would only be regarded as a lie, and if it spread, it might alert others.
Seeing that Li Si didn't want to talk, Maura stopped asking. After all, helping a brother was nothing, let alone just a little effort.
"Okay, I will give you a summary of the weekly information from our Chamber of Commerce, but it can only be those that do not involve the secrets of the Chamber of Commerce. I will also help you pay attention to other information, and will send it to you if there is any."
"Thank you." Li Si nodded. He also thought about asking servants or guards to help him collect some information, but this was too inefficient, so he might as well ask Mora to help.
The Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce is a well-known large chamber of commerce. It has its own department personnel who specialize in collecting intelligence. You must know that businessmen are very concerned about all kinds of intelligence. After all, there may be huge business opportunities and golden coins hidden behind ordinary information.
"Stop talking about this, look at that. That is the second daughter of Count Siani's family. That is an alluring rose. How about it? Are you excited?"
Maura, who had just been normal for a while, relapsed and became deviant.
Li Si sighed, feeling ashamed to be with this person.
"I'm so big"
Brothers, can you give me a collection for further reading?)——)+
