Chapter 269 Visiting Duke Ward’s Dream
"On behalf of the Ward family, I am honored to invite you to today's dinner."
"I was pleasantly surprised to see many old friends today, and welcome many new friends to join us."
"Let us raise a toast to a more prosperous tomorrow for Dillon Kingdom!"
Ding~
Different from the somewhat red tape banquet etiquette in the Kingdom of Fes, Duke Ward's seemingly casual words brought the atmosphere of the party to a climax.
As the guests toasted together, the party officially began.
Li Si pretended to be uncomfortable with the atmosphere and stood at the side of the banquet hall holding an old wine glass, looking coldly at the lively crowd in front of him.
He noticed that several people not far away who were wearing the formal attire of senior officials of Dillon Kingdom looked a little ugly.
Is this someone like me who was led here by hints?
Li Si took a few glances and saw that these were officials from the kingdom's internal affairs, legal and other departments, and their ranks were similar to his own now.
Looking at it like this, it seems that he is still doubting why he accepted the invitation.
Duke Ward spent all these efforts probably to win over his side, but on the other hand, it was probably also a demonstration.
No matter whether these high-ranking officials of the kingdom who were deceived finally surrendered or not, they just planted a nail in front of them and the king.
Li Si took a sip of the Muge wine in his hand. The wine that cost more than 100 gold in the Kingdom of Fes immediately quadrupled in value when delivered to the Kingdom of Dillon. This was a huge profit from the monopoly business of the Kingdom of Fes, and it was also a huge price paid by the Kingdom of Dillon. There are also reasons to explore new trade routes.
At this moment, Lis noticed Philip walking in his direction, accompanying Duke Ward.
"This is our financial affairs officer Ken, I finally know him."
Li Si bowed slightly and said with a smile.
If he hadn't felt the toughness that couldn't be concealed on his body, Li Si would have thought he was facing an old politician.
"It's an honor to meet you, Duke Ward."
Li Si spoke with some respect and looked up at Duke Ward.
"I heard that Ken, you used to be a brave warrior, but you also did a good job as a financial affairs officer. Philip told me."
A smile appeared on Stellan's face, his eyes opened and he began to tell lies.
I don't even know what I did.
Li Si shook his head and said seriously:
"You have given me too much praise. You have wasted a lot of time not knowing what to do. Now you just want not to disappoint Mr. Ghana."
"Gana, he doesn't think things through sometimes."
After commenting vaguely on Li Si's benefactor, Stellan looked at Li Si and said:
"There are a lot of things going on in the kingdom recently. If you have any trouble, you can come to me."
Li Si just nodded silently without saying anything.
As if sensing Li Si's cold attitude, Stellan waved his hand to stop Phillip who wanted to say something, and said with a smile:
"I heard that Ken you had to leave the army because of a serious injury?"
"I do have a way to treat it here. Ken, if you think about it, you can come to me at any time."
After Duke Ward finished speaking, he smiled at Li Si whose expression changed, then stopped staying, raised his glass and walked towards the other guests.
He is very busy tonight.
Phillip breathed out, looked at Li Si and added:
"Ken Enyou, think about it carefully. Master Stellan will never treat his own people badly."
There was a look of excitement on his old-fashioned face, and then he quickly calmed down. Li Si nodded to Phillip and said:
"I know, I will think about it carefully."
Then he drank the wine in his hand and walked out of the banquet hall with his black cane.
Philip did not hold back. In his opinion, the financial affairs officer, Duke Waiward, had already wavered under the temptation, and things would be much easier to handle after that.
A waiter was summoned to follow Li Si, and Phillip also walked towards the other guests.
Today's task has been completed, and he has to enjoy this rare party time in the remaining time.
Li Si, who was sitting on the carriage and leaving, looked calm and looked at the brightly lit luxurious mansion through the carriage window with interest.
It seems that Duke Ward has already noticed the hostility of His Majesty the King by wooing him so directly.
It's a pity that if you can give him some substantial treasure, Li Si is still interested in pretending to play double agent with Duke Ward.
Forget about treatment, Li Si is afraid of having his true identity exposed!
But the biggest goal tonight has been achieved.
In just a few exchanges with Duke Ward, Li Si had already memorized the aura of Duke Ward, and the rest was left to the dead of night.
——
Late at night, at Ken Simon's home.
Perhaps to avoid leaking his identity, Ken Simon did not marry a wife. He only had a few servants in his home, which was quite simple.
Lying on the bed, Li Si felt that it was almost time and Duke Ward should rest and fall asleep, so he stopped waiting.
Special skill [lucid dreaming]!
[Sphinx Dream Building Technique]!
With the help of these two special skills, Li Si successfully entered the dream world.
Controlling his mental body to leave his blank dream world, Li Si looked at the tens of millions of densely packed foamy dreams that filled the hazy dream space. Each dream was scattered around him like stars.
Is this the dream world? It is indeed very special, reality and illusion are intertwined, and the hazy feeling blurs the concept of space and the passage of time.
It's like being in a sea of dreams.
This was the first time that Li Si took the initiative to enter the dream world. He had never had this experience even in previous games.
Secrets and quests involving the dream world are quite rare.
According to the records in [Sphinx Dream Building Technique], this dream should be the embodiment of the dreams of all living beings in this area. Not only humans, but insects and animals will also have dreams, but they will not be like humans. So dazzling and colorful.
"If I hadn't come into contact with Duke Ward today, it would be too difficult to lock into his dream."
Li Si's spiritual body raised his hand, and a breath appeared in front of him, exuding the same powerful feeling as Duke Ward.
[Sphinx Dream Building Technique·Dream Seeking]!
The breath turned into an illusory white dove, flying straight to Li Si's left side.
Li Si quickly followed Bai Ge, flying through one dream after another.
[Sphinx Dream Building Technique] Although the most precious content is the construction of special dream spaces, there are also many commonly used methods in these dream worlds, all of which are the exploration and research of the legendary arcanist.
The dream world is always bizarre. In the dreams that Li Si passed by, people were eating and drinking crazily, and some were being chased by wild beasts. Li Si even saw a guy hiding outside someone else's window watching a movie.
Tsk tsk tsk, what a talent!
Not long after, Bai Ge took Li Si to a dream space that was significantly brighter, and within it was the scene of the Ice Castle Palace.
This is Duke Ward's dream!
It's a bit late, I'll refine it tomorrow
