Chapter 218 Requiem Gem

Li Si looked at the small box placed in front of him and said with a smile:

"That incident was just an accident. You were too polite."

Ender waved his hand and said seriously:

"In the final analysis, Ignatius failed to fulfill his duties. I admire your generosity, but this does not mean that the Solo family is not sincere."

Hearing this, Ignos also bowed and said:

"Thank you for pardoning my offense."

It seems that Count Solo is indeed sincerely grateful, and he probably doesn't want to owe too much of a favor.

Li Si also nodded and said:

"Then I'll accept it. I hope our friendship with you will be as lasting as the Garno Mountains!"

Ender also smiled and said:

"Of course, the Solo family will always be your friends."

Sure enough, with strength and background, I really have "friends" wherever I go.

Li Si thought this in his mind and heard Ander say at the same time.

"You might as well open it and take a look. This is a gift I carefully selected. I hope you like it."

Li Si didn't hesitate after hearing this, and directly picked up the small dark gray box in front of him, which was still a bit heavy.

What could it be?

Li Si couldn't help but be a little curious and gently opened the small box.

On the velvet fabric, a purple transparent crystal shaped like a twisted branch lay quietly. It was covered with fine cross-sections and reflected a slightly dreamy lavender light.

Li Si couldn't help but murmured:

"Requiem Gem?"

"Lord Li Si is truly a disciple of [Flame of Judgment]!"

Ender was a little surprised that Li Si could recognize this treasure so quickly, clapped his hands and exclaimed.

"Since I got this gem, I hired many appraisers and spent a lot of time to find out what it is. I didn't expect you to recognize it right away."

Li Si gently took the purple gem out of the box and carefully appreciated it in his hand.

It is obviously just a small piece of gemstone, but its weight is quite astonishing, even two or three times that of metallic iron of the same volume.

Looking carefully at the cross-section of the gemstone, the reflected light seems slightly distorted.

Without the need for systematic identification, Li Si has confirmed that this is a genuine [Requiem Gem]!

The reason why Li Si could recognize it was because he had been lucky enough to get a [Requiem Gem] in his previous life, and finally sold it for 100,000 gold coins, a huge gain!

So he was very impressed.

[Requiem Gem] is different from the azure gemstone and emerald gemstone in Li Si's hand. The power contained in it is not various elemental powers, but a special soul power.

Similarly, [Requiem Gem] will not be produced from elemental crystal mines and gemstone mines. It may be born in any corner of the world. No one currently knows how it is produced.

Some people speculate that it is the crystallization of the souls that have entered the underworld, while others speculate that it is the product of the legendary dream world. There are many related conjectures, but none of them have been confirmed.

[Requiem Gem] is very useful. It can make up for the damage suffered by the soul of the strong, and can enhance the user's soul. At the same time, it is also a necessity for some advanced ritual formations.

Li Si knew that the [Requiem Gemstone] was needed in the Church of Dawn's [St. Lar's Miracle Resurrection Ceremony], which was a ritual circle that could resurrect a high-level professional without damage.

[Requiem Gemstone] has a wide range of uses, but the quantity produced every year is quite small, so its price is also very high.

The [Requiem Gem] in Li Si's hand is slightly larger than the one he got in his previous life, and is estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Rich man!

This was the only thought left in Li Si's mind.

"This is too expensive."

Li Si put the [Requiem Gem] in his hand back into the box, looked at Ander and said.

Ender looked unconcerned and said:

"This treasure was found in my territory. It is of no use to me. You happen to be a mage, so I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha."

Li Si hesitated for a moment, nodded, and put away the small box containing the gems honestly.

As expected of Count Solo, the mainstay of the northern border of the kingdom, I have high hopes for you!

Having said that, Count Solo's gift was a bit too generous, and it completely exceeded the level of apology.

This is considered a favor to Count Solo.

After all, Li Si also had a special need for the [Requiem Gem]. He had previously entrusted the Fes Chamber of Commerce to help acquire it. Unfortunately, there was no definite news when he left Bright Light City.

I didn’t expect to gain anything here!

Count Solo was also very happy that Li Si could accept this gem. To him, a [Requiem Gem] was nothing.

If you can make good friends with the Marquis of Kane, it will be a foreshadowing if you can ask the two big guys behind him if something happens!

Li Si picked up the wine glass and took a sip, hesitated and said:

"You are too polite, but I do have something I want to communicate with you."

Seeing Li Si's slightly serious expression, Count Solo straightened up a little and asked with a smile:

"Is it related to your coming to the north, Marquis Kane?"

"Maybe it's partly related."

Li Si was silent for a moment and organized his words:

"You know that the Kingdom declared war on the Berdych Kingdom."

When Ander heard what Li Si was talking about, he immediately became serious, nodded slightly and said:

"This is natural. As a border noble, I have been paying attention to this war."

"I heard that Duke Baird has captured Beru City and is advancing towards the hinterland of the Berdych Kingdom."

"Duke Ram has also broken through the blockade of Danyi Pass."

"The war is going very smoothly!"

Li Si was not surprised to hear that Ander knew the information about the war in the east of the kingdom, and continued:

"The war has started, and it will naturally not be limited to the eastern part of the kingdom."

When Ander heard Li Si's words, he was silent for a moment and said cautiously:

"You mean, there will also be war in the north?"

Li Si looked at Ander with a half-smile, and said calmly:

"Isn't that the task assigned to you by Lord Aiwen? Keep an eye on the Dillon Kingdom in the north."

Ender looked at Li Si suddenly, paused for a moment, raised his hand to touch his hair to cover up his gaffe, and said seriously:

"I didn't expect Marquis Kane to know this. His Majesty the King really trusts you!"

Li Si shrugged. Our king probably didn't even know that I came to the north.

You can’t say that I know it from the main plot mission in my previous life, right?

Ander Solo is a disciple of Alvin Deen, the legendary monk of the Kingdom of Fes [Broken Mountain]. He can be said to be a well-established royal noble and deeply trusted by the King of Fes.

Because of the special nature of his family's territory, when he left the royal capital and returned to his family to inherit the title, King Morton gave him the task of secretly accumulating strength and guarding against the Kingdom of Dillon.
