Chapter 267 Duke Ward’s invitation

Garza Warehouse is one of the largest warehouses in Ice Peak City. It is also an exclusive large warehouse used by the royal family of the Kingdom of Dillon. It stores the supplies that the royal family consumes daily, most of which are shipped in from outside the city.

Garza Warehouse is located due west of Ice Peak City, close to the Ice Castle Palace.

The year before last, the Garza Warehouse caught fire and destroyed most of it. However, the City Guards and Royal Guards responded in time and the Ice Castle Palace was not affected.

Last year, the Kingdom's finances spent a lot of money to rebuild the Garza Warehouse, so this document is also called the New Garza Warehouse.

Li Si remembered clearly that the place where the [Devil's Gate] rose was not in the Garza Warehouse, but during the major event mission at that time, one of the several locations guarded by Duke Ward's men included the Garza Warehouse.

In other words, there must be something wrong with this place!

See if you can take this opportunity to find this place and intensify the conflict between the king and Duke Ward in advance.

Hans looked at the two documents in his hand. One was about the newly built Garza Warehouse, and the other was about the repair work of Bingfeng City's city wall. They were both one of the most important construction projects in Bingfeng City.

Hans didn't think that going to these two places to see what was wrong with the assistant financial officer could be found out. Maybe Ken Simon just wanted to show off to the people above him and show off.

It’s hard to say no.

"I understand, Lord Simon, I will arrange the trip for tomorrow."

"Well, go ahead and organize the people to start checking the tax books first. I'll leave it all to you. If you have anything else, tell me."

Li Si nodded, looking unconcerned and ready to be a mascot.

Hans nodded, received Simon's instructions, and left to complete the work.

Originally, everything had been arranged, including manpower and account books. It just needed Li Si's hand to push him out and use him as a target.

As for whether there is any problem with Philip?

Just kidding, the purpose is not to really find the problem, as long as the need arises, the problem will "naturally arise".

Phew~

Hans, who was walking in the corridor of the palace, breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he always felt a little depressed in the office of the Financial Affairs Officer just now.

Is this the pressure of the once extraordinary powerful man?

You should pay more attention!

After Hans left, Li Si stayed in his office, waiting for things that might come to his door at any time.

As a result, a day passed and no one bothered Li Si except the waiter who came to deliver lunch.

"Is this the mascot?"

Li Si smiled, then packed up and prepared to return to "his" home.

Duoduo~

The knock on the door sounded at an inappropriate time.

Li Si glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, and was a little curious who would come to him at this time.

"Enter!"

The door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a smiling middle-aged man appeared in front of Li Si.

This man looks very familiar to Li Si, Finance Auxiliary Freul Philip!

Lees had obtained a photograph of this man from Ken Simon.

Why would he come to me now?

Could it be that he has noticed that I am going to "take action" on him?

"Haha, Ken, are you going back?"

Phillip said with a smile, his tone was intimate, and he was so enthusiastic that others seemed to think the two were such good friends!

But Li Si knew that Ken Simon had no personal relationship with this person.

So what are you preparing for?

Li Si was alert in his heart, put on his red and black coat without changing his expression, and asked with his palms on his hands:

"Is something wrong?"

He didn't seem to notice Li Si's tough tone, and the smile on Phillip's face became even bigger.

"Duke Ward is holding a party at the mansion tonight, and he specially asked me to invite Ken to join him!"

Li Si, who stared at Ken Simon's serious face, frowned slightly and refused:

"Sorry, please apologize to my Duke for me. I have some personal matters tonight."

Are you aware of King Lukar's temptation and are you about to start a fight?

It's a problem!

Li Si knew very well that no matter according to common sense or his own ideas, he could not accept Phillip's invitation at this time.

Before entering Ice Peak City, Li Si had made up his mind that the identity of Ken Simon should be as low-key as possible. It was Li Si's other identity that was causing trouble in the open.

Refusal, and the more decisive the refusal, the more it reflects Ken Simon's serious and old-fashioned temperament.

"do not talk like that."

The smile on Phillip's face did not change, he took a few steps forward and patted Li Si on the shoulder.

"Duke Ward has admired you for a long time, Ken."

"Don't miss this opportunity!"

Just when Philip touched Li Si's body, Li Si felt a special spiritual power pouring into his body from the place where the two touched.

This spiritual power is very secret and slowly spreads towards Li Si's mind.

If Li Si hadn't been an arcanist, ordinary extraordinary professionals might not have noticed this special spiritual power.

——

[Special psychic power influence detected! ]

[You accept [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion] Consciousness Determination! ]

[Determining.]

[The effect of Specialty [Blessing of the Styx] is triggered! [Jianso] status takes effect! ]

[You are exempt from this ritual judgment! ]——

[Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion]?

Let me go, how could Philip have this ability?

[Subliminal Suggestion] is a very special skill. Its effect is to influence the target's subconscious mind, causing it to subconsciously make the choice the user wants.

The effect of this skill is very subtle and has no sequelae, so it will not be detected, but it does have its flaws.

That means the impact is limited!

For example, if this skill takes effect, it can affect what Li Si chooses to eat for dinner, but it cannot make Li Si continue to work overtime.

This should be the effect of Philip's magic props. Touching my body is to conceal the transmission of magic power and avoid being detected by the palace's detection array.

This should be the effect of a magic item. What does Philip want me to do?

If Ken Simon had lost his extraordinary power, he would not be able to resist the effect of [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion].

Seeing that Li Si was silent for a moment, Phillip then asked:

"How about, come with me to Duke Ward's party."

So, just for me to meet Duke Ward?

"All right."

Li Si pretended to be influenced by [Intermediate Subconscious Suggestion] and nodded in agreement with Phillip's proposal.

"Then let's go."

Phillip said with a smile, walking side by side with Li Si outside the Ice Castle Palace.

Looking at the little official who noticed the two of them, the smile on Phillip's face became a little brighter.

Hans, who noticed the two of them from a distance, looked a little ugly. After hesitating for a while, he walked towards the room of Finance Minister Salas.

Under the leadership of Phillip, Li Si got into the carriage with the emblem of Duke Ward's family and drove towards the east of the city.

Li Si noticed that there were several more of the same carriage waiting outside the Ice Castle Palace.
