Chapter 278 Duke Ward takes the blame again!

Outside Bingfeng City, Li Si prepared an underground hiding place with spatial coordinates in advance.

In the originally dark cave, the space fluctuated and twisted. A figure wearing a black mage robe suddenly appeared in mid-air and fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state.

Li Si grinned, feeling the severe pain coming from all parts of his body, and decided to lie down for a while first.

Although Li Si succeeded in pretending to be a big boss this time, as a silver professional, he tricked a group of the kingdom's top gold-level experts, but the price Li Si paid was also quite high.

Most serious injuries are caused by the use of energy beyond the body's tolerance, which causes great load and backlash on the body.

This is because Li Si has a special talent. If it were a mage of the same level, under the same circumstances, his body would explode and he would die without a trace.

In addition, the elemental power accumulated over the years in the legendary jewelry [Sphinx's Wisdom] has also been exhausted. Before Li Si fully masters this legendary equipment, he can only slowly wait for it to recover on its own.

The other thing is the magic props consumed this time. As for the mission rewards given to the Virgin Mary players, it is nothing to Li Si.

For Li Si, who had received a large gift package from the Hansong Chamber of Commerce in Beifeng City, this amount of wealth was nothing.

But at the same time, the previous goal was achieved this time, and the impact was quite large. This "fireworks show" can be said to have affected the entire Bingfeng City, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

You can go back and explore the dream world to see if you have achieved your intended goal.

However, at least Li Si did not plan to return to Bingfeng City tonight.

First, because Li Si is currently seriously injured, it will take some time to return to physical activities without being affected.

On the other hand, Li Si does not dare to return to Ice Peak City now.

When he left Ice Peak City using [Advanced Teleportation Technique] just now, he saw the [Top High Energy Bomb] sent to the central courtyard of the Ice Castle Palace through [Teleportation Technique]. Although the explosion was completed in the end, the huge golden light pillar produced even Directly destroying the protective array of the palace.

But the location of the explosion was not in the atrium of the destination, but in the air directly above the palace.

The overall architecture of the palace was not much affected, only the tall central spire was damaged.

The cause of all this was not the desperate gold-level worshipers of the palace, but a sturdy middle-aged man wearing white single clothes.

The [Top High-Energy Bomb] was caught in his hand, and all the power it unleashed spread into the air.

This middle-aged man Li Si is very familiar with, the only legendary strongman in the Dilon Kingdom, the legendary berserker [Wrath of the North] Hitty Whitman.

Li Si felt the hostility from this person at the last moment when he teleported away. Although there was only a trace, it still made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Provoking the Dillon Kingdom may not seem like much to this person, as he is not interested in taking action against the professionals under the legend.

But under the dangerous situation that most of the entire Ice Castle Palace might be destroyed by [top-level high-energy bombs], this big shot still took action.

terrible!

Is that the power of the legendary strongman?

Just the coercion and hostility made me tremble with fear, and I felt like I might go see the God of Death in the next moment!

Li Si lay on the ground in the hiding place, thinking with lingering fear.

I can’t commit suicide anymore!

In other words, I can't dance so happily in front of this guy. Who knows if this boss will take action directly next time.

Fortunately, in the subsequent plan, Li Si was not prepared to take action personally, but hid in the dark and quietly carried out the trouble.

Feeling that his body had regained some strength, Li Si sat up, took out the healing potion from the storage ring and drank it.

Now he didn't even have the magic power to use healing magic.

However, he could feel that the earrings transformed into [Sphinx's Wisdom] were slowly drawing elemental power from the surroundings into his body, slowly healing the trauma to his body.

His body was slowly improving, and he even felt a little rejuvenated. Li Si had a hunch that after his body fully recovered, he might become stronger.

Find wealth in danger!

Li Si sighed and called out the system panel.

Just when he was out of the battle, he heard the system prompt.

——

[You are out of combat! ]

[You have completed an attack on Dillon Kingdom-Ice Peak City-Ice Castle Palace. This is an unprecedented feat! ]

[You have obtained the special specialty [Provocateur]! ]

[Special Expertise [Provocateur]: When you provoke hostile forces or opponents (including verbal provocation, action provocation, use of provocation skills, etc.), the mental resistance of the provocation target will be slightly reduced, and your own movement speed will be +30%]

[You have obtained a new milestone [The Pain of Ice Peak City]! ]

[Milestone [Painful Fireworks in Ice Peak City]: The actions of Moriarty, the Secret Order of Death, made Ice Peak City, which had not experienced turmoil for decades, once again taste the feeling of pain. No one can forget that scene. Crazy fireworks. National legend +1]

[Your identity [Death Secret Order-Moriarty] acquires a special status. Whenever you appear in Ice Peak City as Moriarty, the [Dillon Kingdom-Undying] status will be triggered! ]——

The new milestone has gained a bit of national legend, which is pretty good.

As for the newly acquired specialty [Provocateur], Li Si found this skill very strange.

Increase movement speed?

Is this because he is afraid that he will be beaten to death after provocation, so he makes himself run faster?

Besides, as a good young man who is loyal, reliable, honest, and treats others peacefully, how could I be a provocateur?

Li Si shook his head, then took out a mattress from the storage ring and laid it on the ground casually.

Tonight's operation has drained all Li Si's energy. Just carefully observing all the golden experts present and preventing them from seeing the cover-up of his strong appearance but incompetence is enough to test his mental toughness!

That was a double-digit gold expert. Fortunately, he was bluffed at first!

Otherwise, if they really go together, Li Si will have no choice but to run away directly!

Bingfeng City should be very lively now!

But that's none of my business!

Li Si soon fell asleep, and darkness and calm returned to this hiding place hidden under the ice sheet.

——

Unlike Li Si who left, Bingfeng City and Ice Castle Palace are now bustling.

Groups of soldiers set off from the military camp and quickly rushed to various important locations in Bingfeng City. The atmosphere was solemn and serious.

Bingfeng City, which was already tense due to the bombing of the Garza Warehouse a few days ago, suddenly entered a wartime state.

In the streets that were already sparsely populated at night, no one could be seen. From time to time, a pair of eyes peeked out from the windows of the houses on both sides of the road.

In the Ice Castle Palace, many guards are stepping up patrols, not missing any suspicious location.

[Wrath of the North] disappeared from the scene after holding the [Top High Energy Bomb].

However, all the royal ministers present knew the legendary boss who was sitting in the palace, so they were not surprised by his appearance.

Everyone present was still a little frightened. The man in black robe who claimed to be Moriarty just now left them with a deep shock.

Not to mention the weird and unpredictable means of appearance, the grand blue meteor shower and the terrifying golden beam of light at the end made them fearful of the instigator, Moriarty.

The decapitated tall tower in the center of the palace still reflected the terror of the golden beam of light just now.

"Lord Abbas, His Majesty the King summons you."

A palace attendant walked up to Abbas, who had a dark face, and said respectfully.

"OK."

Abbas was stunned for a moment, then he agreed and followed the waiter towards the depths of the palace.

This time, the place where King Lucar received him was not in the study high up in the kingdom, but somewhere underground in the palace.

Abbas knocked lightly on the thick door, opened the door and walked in after receiving permission.

This is directly below the Ice Castle Palace, the core of the magic circle protection, and the surrounding solid walls also block outsiders from prying into it.

Abbas entered and respectfully saluted King Lukar who was sitting on the throne.

At the same time, Anna and several other core kingdom ministers were present.

Although it is underground, it is also luxuriously decorated, and it looks like a safe place has been prepared long ago.

"Abbas is here, sit down!"

Lukar looked up and said with a smile.

Abbas nodded respectfully and sat carefully on the sofa at the end, the sound of the armor on his body clanking against each other.

There is no way, everyone here has a higher status than him.

"Abbas, I just asked you to come here to confirm something."

Lukar tapped the table with his left hand and looked seriously at Abbas, who was wearing armor.

"Is that Moriarty the one who destroyed West Castle?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Abbas didn't want to recall that tragic time, he could only nod heavily at this moment.

"That was the first time I saw that person. He claimed to be Moriarty from the Death Secret Order. Every time he appeared, he was wearing a black robe. He was a pale middle-aged man, but I'm not sure who he was. It’s not who he is.”

"The Order of Death Moriarty"

Lukar murmured, feeling very bad.

He noticed Moriarty last time when he got the news that West Castle was destroyed, but at that time he thought that this should be a counterattack from the Kingdom of Fes, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Targeting and attacking the Kingdom of Fes will definitely bring a lot of losses and pain, and he knows all of this.

But I really didn't expect that Moriarty would go to such an extent and dare to attack Ice Peak City and Ice Castle Palace. This was simply a direct declaration of war on the Kingdom of Dillon.

So now Lukar is a little undecided.

If this Moriarty was really arranged by the Kingdom of Fes, he would not have stimulated and provoked the Kingdom of Dillon like this.

Now most of the power of the Fes Kingdom is devoted to the war with the Berdych Kingdom, and there is no spare power to open up the northern battlefield.

If the king of Fes Kingdom still had sense, even if he knew that he was planning to invade, at most he would only destroy the two castles in the Luoxue Mountains.

And this Moriarty, and his self-proclaimed Death Secret Order, acted like a madman, without any regard for any consequences, just like those evil churches that advocated chaos and blood and fire.

"Does the Secret Order of Death have this organization?"

Not just Abbas, all the ministers present shook their heads.

Even though they are basically noble families with a long history in the kingdom, they have never heard of this organization.

"The name sounds like an organization that believes in the gods of the Death Gods, but the Death Gods nowadays have always been very low-key, and I have never heard of any organizations related to the Death Secret Order."

Military Minister Armand Cardin is a powerful and domineering old man. Although his hair is gray, the confidence and domineering exuding from his body are eye-catching.

"That's it."

Although Lukar knew something about those extraordinary forces, most of them were about the Zhengshen Church. He didn't know much about other extraordinary organizations.

"Abbas, how strong is Moriarty?"

Lukar thought for a while, then continued to ask Abbas, and then added something.

"Master Whitman has already told me that the last golden beam of light was not Moriarty's own strength, but the effect of a powerful magic item."

Abbas breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If that terrifying golden light was also Moriarty's method, he really wouldn't have the courage to continue facing Moriarty.

"He should have a very strong gold-level mage, although his aura looks strange."

"But there is no doubt about his strength, and he should have a way to explode. Otherwise, I can't imagine that those dozens of blue meteors are his own strength."

Abbas said seriously, but the more he did this, the more strange he felt about Moriarty.

"Your Majesty, when we were at West Castle, Moriarty finally told me that he would meet again in Ice Peak City. I didn't pay attention at the time. Now that I think about it, he may have planned all of this."

"Is that so?"

Lukar's face was a little gloomy. These facts proved that this Death Secret Order was really directly provoking the Kingdom of Dillon.

Could it be that this is the plan of the Fes Kingdom to divert their energy and delay the invasion of them as much as possible.

There were too many possibilities, which gave Lukar a headache.

This matter is so serious that it may even affect the prestige of the kingdom.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lukar looked at the others present.

Anna was silent for a while and then said:

"No matter what, the purpose of what Moriarty did so much should be to cause chaos in Ice Peak City."

"I don't know if the explosion at the West Warehouse two days ago has something to do with them, but I think we should pay more attention to it."

"Especially if there is any relationship between the Death Secret Order and Duke Ward."

Duke Ward!

Lukar suddenly found that he had ignored this possibility. This possibility was very high!

If this is the case, the Death Secret Order's attack on West Castle, Ice Peak City and Ice Castle Palace was all to help Duke Ward relieve the pressure!

Damn the Order of Death!

Damn Duke Ward!

Duke Ward didn't know it, but a big pot was suddenly placed on his head again.
