Chapter 290 The next journey
As the former Duke of Ward and the current King of Dillon, Stellan was also a little helpless.
It’s not that the Kingdom of Dillon doesn’t have legendary equipment, but it was found on [Wrath of the North]’s body and was not found on his body.
It might have been taken away by the abyss lord, or it might have been taken away by the legendary strongman from the Death Secret Order.
But no matter who it was, Stellan had no idea of asking for it back.
Apart from this, Stellan can't think of any other treasures that are precious enough to impress Moriarty in front of him.
There is no way, the Kingdom of Dillon is so poor, it is even a bit embarrassing compared to the prosperous human kingdoms in the south.
It's not like there are no ordinary property and treasures, but Stellan doesn't think this can impress Moriarty.
You know, this person can also destroy the [Devil's Gate] with one strike, and Stellan can't forget that terrifying golden light now.
Even though it was a trump card and it might have come at a huge price, Stellan also felt that this man should be standing at the top of the golden level and peering into the legendary realm.
Because of this, Stellan couldn't help but feel a little respect.
Taking a deep breath, Stellan said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Moriarty, on behalf of the Kingdom of Dillon, I want to reach cooperation with the Death Secret Order and obtain the protection of the legendary powerhouse."
"I don't know what price I, or the Dillon Kingdom, will have to pay?"
There was also a smile on Li Si's face, and this development was part of his plan.
To be honest, after this battle, the Dillon Kingdom suffered a big loss. It was even difficult to control the kingdom's interior and maintain balance.
And this is also a good opportunity!
Give Li Si the opportunity to gain greater benefits from the Dillon Kingdom.
You know, although the Dillon Kingdom is located at the northern end of the Fanor continent, transportation is extremely inconvenient.
To the north is the uninhabited Arctic Icefield, to the west is the long and steep Terre Mountains, which is even more steep than the Luoxue Mountains. It is difficult for ordinary people to cross, and the east is also a hilly wilderness.
Before the trade route in the eastern wasteland was opened by Duke Ward, the Kingdom of Dillon could only obtain goods and food through trading with the Kingdom of Fes.
This almost monopoly position puts the Dillon Kingdom at an almost absolute disadvantage in trade.
So much so that the Dillon Kingdom's own rich minerals and leather cannot obtain the appropriate benefits at all.
It means that the Kingdom of Fes has been exploiting the Kingdom of Dillon and sucking blood from the Kingdom of Dillon.
This is why many people in the Kingdom of Dillon hate the Kingdom of Fes.
In the past, Li Si wouldn't have cared about this. At most, he would just get a share of the pie.
But things are different now. Li Si knows that there is a floating city sunk in the Pearl Sea in the east of the mainland.
Although the floating city can still operate normally, after so many years, there must be many places that need repair and strengthening.
In addition, there is the daily consumption of the floating city.
You must know that a floating city is equivalent to a large magic factory. The magic power consumed can be provided by the core of Mythra, but the resources consumed need to be obtained from the outside world by the owner of the floating city.
This was also the dilemma that Azera Floating City faced in its previous life.
Li Si naturally had to prepare early.
The Kingdom of Dillon is a pretty good choice.
Of course, Li Si is not a devil!
They won’t be exploited as ruthlessly as the merchants in the Kingdom of Fes, and everyone will just get what they need!
I am such a good person!
"What can you give?"
Moriarty, Li Si's incarnation as the man in black robe, said meaningfully.
The person who puts forward the conditions first is always at a disadvantage, especially now that Li Si has taken all the initiative.
Stellan was a little silent. To be honest, he couldn't think of what the Death Secret Order needed.
After all, in his opinion, the Death Secret Order does not require the faith of the people of the kingdom like the Church of the Gods.
"Haha~"
Li Si chuckled, interrupting Stellan's thoughts.
"I understand what you are thinking. It is not easy to get the protection of the legendary crown prince."
"I think you should also be mentally prepared for this."
"I will help you convey your wishes to those adults. As for the final result, I will tell you later."
Stellan nodded silently, feeling speechless for a moment.
How many legends do you crown me?
This is even stronger than some churches with weak divine power and weak divine powers.
Is what this Moriarty said true?
Even Stellan, who had seen the legendary moves of the Death Secret Order, was a little suspicious at this moment.
Li Si naturally noticed the subtle changes in King Dillon's expression, but he didn't care.
He really has the capital to act cool! ——
Kingdom of Fes, Bright City, Kane Family Mansion.
"Xiao Li, are you sure what you said is true?"
Joyce, who was wearing a black butler's outfit, stood in front of the window, looking at Ashley who was exercising hard in the garden below, with a look of surprise on her face.
He was holding a communication crystal ball specially made by Stephen, so he could naturally get in touch with Lis.
But what Li Si said surprised him a little.
Good guy!
The Devil's Gate, the melee in the Kingdom of Dilon, the fall of the legend, and the appearance of the demon prince Demogorgon
In such a big battle, Li Si is already at the silver level and is already involved?
And it sounds like it plays a pretty important role in it.
"Yes, Uncle Joyce, I invited Teacher Stephens over, and the teacher also suspected that it was Demogorgon!"
Li Si said in an affirmative tone that he had not concealed anything about his boss, including his transaction with Stellan under the alias Moriarty of the Death Secret Order.
"Well done, Li Si, you are better than I thought!"
After the confirmation, Joyce had no hesitation in praising Lees.
In his opinion, the better Li Si is, the happier he will be.
You have lived up to Li Si’s father’s trust!
"Little Li Si, do you want me to support the Dillon Kingdom?"
Joyce thought for a moment and asked through the crystal ball.
"Yes, uncle."
Although he knew that he could not be seen on the other side, Li Si nodded seriously and expressed his thoughts.
"The property resources of Dillon Kingdom are still quite rich. These may be useful to me in the future, and they will also be beneficial to you."
"After this time, nothing major will happen in the Dillon Kingdom in the future."
"But you don't have to be the patron saint of Dillon Kingdom like [Wrath of the North], you just need to give that king a certain amount of support."
"I think this will be enough for him to feel at ease."
After Li Si finished speaking, Joyce was silent for a moment and said:
"No problem, these are all small things."
At this time Joyce added with a smile:
"Little Li, you may not know that I am still one of the worshipers of the Southern Principality Alliance. There is just one more Dillon Kingdom on my left and right."
"I will let my clone go to the Kingdom of Dillon. Just reply to the king like this."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Joyce!"
Li Sifei said sincerely, thanking his boss for his support.
From the beginning, Joyce was as helpful as his elders.
Regardless of whether it is this time or the previous protection, please ask [Flame of Judgment] to be your teacher.
This may be the biggest help Li Si has received besides the system.
"Xiao Li, where are you going to go next?"
Joyce asked with a smile, as if it had been a trivial matter to him before.
"I'm going to head east to the Kingdom of Dillon, and then go to the Kingdom of Berdych via sea."
Li Si did not hesitate at all, this was also his future idea.
After this experience in Ice Peak City, Li Si also discovered his shortcomings.
That is, his "partiality" has become more and more serious.
His strength as a mage has far surpassed other professions.
For example, this time, except for the occasional use of the [lurk] ability of the assassin profession, the abilities of warriors, hunters, etc. are not of use.
Most of his expertise and skills are biased toward mages.
Perhaps, with the support of sufficient basic attributes, Li Si is not weaker than professionals of the same level in professions such as warriors and assassins.
But considering the intensity of the battle Li Si was facing now, it was of no use.
This is not what Li Si expected!
Because the mage profession has the inheritance of the arcanist and the two legendary arcanists, it is naturally stronger than other professions.
There is no doubt that Li Si will not stop practicing arcana and let other professional abilities catch up.
That was undoubtedly due to choking.
But Li Si cannot accept the situation of completely falling behind in other professions.
In that case, the combat technique that Li Si envisioned with the exclusive specialty [The Return of Ten Thousand Techniques - Li Si] as its core would be useless.
Moreover, strength on one side will always be met with restraint, and only development in all aspects is the right way.
This is unrealistic for ordinary people.
After all, they can spend their entire lives learning the skills and fighting methods of a profession.
But Li Si, who has the system and talent [Almighty], is different.
He has the opportunity and the ambition to achieve that goal!
Therefore, it is imperative to train the abilities of other professions and ensure not to fall behind.
This is not meaningless, after all, Li Si's progress as an arcanist has begun to gradually slow down.
Before Li Si breaks through to the gold level, there will be no further progress.
In this case, allocating part of your energy to the practice of other professions is also a manifestation of maximizing efficiency.
In fact, Li Si had already consciously strengthened his training in this area when he left Bright Light City and followed the caravan to the Luoxue Mountains.
But that intensity is undoubtedly too low.
You must strengthen yourself!
Li Si planned to cross the Dillon Kingdom and follow the trade route opened by the Ward family to the eastern coast.
Along the way, you have to pass through ice fields and wilderness hills, and naturally you have to face many monsters and dangers.
In this process, although Li Si will maintain his arcane practice, he will try his best to use the abilities of warriors, assassins, hunters and other professions to deal with everything.
Come to think of it, this can give him enough pressure!
In addition, Li Si also had two considerations in making such a decision.
The first is to rely on one's own strength as much as possible and challenge one's limits.
In many things, Teacher [Flame of Judgment] and Uncle Joyce gave him so much help that after Lis came out of [McGuire's Tomb of Death], he hardly faced a few life-and-death crises.
Even if there is, there are big bosses who will help Li Si.
Although the impact is not big, it does make him gradually relax his vigilance.
this is not right!
The appearance of Demogorgon this time alerted Li Si.
In the majestic and chaotic times ahead, even teachers and uncles cannot completely protect him.
Unless you follow the two big guys every step of the way, it is almost impossible to become a legend or even go one step further.
That strong man did not survive the crisis of life and death or the baptism of strong winds and waves.
Li Si cannot rely too much on the help of the two big guys, but must also challenge his own limits and break through himself.
The second point to consider is the requirements for the monk professional specialty [Proof of Nature].
Understand nature and feel nature.
This is the most basic requirement for this feat.
Only through travel can we get closer to this expertise.
In fact, Li Si had already made up his mind.
This time, Li Si will not ride in a carriage or rely on teleportation, flying, etc. to move forward.
Instead, one step at a time, slowly moving towards the east.
Use the training method of an ascetic to hone yourself!
Probably after chatting with Joyce about his current situation and future, Li Si also stopped communicating and lay back on the bed to continue resting.
Before starting his future journey, the most important thing for him is to ease the injury to his soul as much as possible, at least not to affect his actions.
——
Ice Peak City, Garza Warehouse No. 6.
"You guys get out!"
His Majesty Stellan, the new king of Dillon Kingdom, walked into the warehouse, looked at the precious metals and magic gems neatly packed in wooden boxes in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
The guards and warehouse stewards were hesitant, worried about the new king's safety.
If something goes wrong with this guy again, the Dillon Kingdom will really fall into complete chaos.
But feeling the stern look from His Majesty the King, everyone retreated obediently and closed the door behind them.
"Hoo~"
Stellan let out a sigh of relief and stood quietly, as if waiting for something.
"Our dear Majesty Stellan, you came so early!"
With the same frivolous tone as always, Moriarty's familiar figure appeared in front of Stellan.
Familiar black mage robe, pale face, no trace of real aura detectable.
"Hello, Mr. Moriarty."
"This is the prepared material."
Stellan nodded and said, carefully looking at the man in black robes in front of him.
This was his first close contact with this powerful man from the Death Secret Order.
The moment Moriarty appeared, his body's nerves tensed up, but he soon relaxed.
When preparing these precious metals and ores, he carefully considered the existence of the Death Secret Order.
After all kinds of strange performances, he finally came up with an answer in his heart.
The purpose of the Death Secret Order is not actually the Kingdom of Dillon, but that Demogorgon!
The more Stellan thought about it, the more it made sense.
Destroy Garza's warehouse, attack the palace, help him teleport his army, destroy the [Devil's Gate] and even kill Lukar, the incarnation of Demogorgon.
This effort is completely out of proportion to the reward!
Therefore, this organization called the Death Secret Order must be enemies with Demogorgon and even the Abyss Lord.
A great organization that works in secret to protect mankind!
Only in this way will it help the Dillon Kingdom.
Feeling that he had discovered the truth, Stellan became more determined to cooperate with the Death Secret Order.
How could we let such a good partner go?
So after receiving the notice from Moriarty, Stellan ordered his subordinates to take out the most precious magic metals and magic gems from the palace treasury in order to show his sincerity.
I am determined to be this ally!
