Chapter 365 The remnants of the Church of All Beasts

The next day, morning

Outside of Bright Light City, Baron Tony’s territory.

The town located on the hill is no different from the last time Lis came here. Low brick and stone huts surround Baron Tony's dark gray castle. Children are hiding in the shade and playing in the hot summer sun, or It is to play in the clear stream at the foot of the mountain and enjoy the coolness.

The people of Baron Tony are busy in the vineyards on the surrounding hills. Emerald-green grape leaves grow wantonly in the sun along the purple-red vines. Small white-green grape flowers are hidden in the greenery. Relying on people's expectations for a good harvest.

On the hilltop not far from Baron Tony's territory, the space was distorted, and a figure appeared there, and then the figure faded and merged with the surrounding environment.

The visitor was none other than Li Si, who had made a special trip.

After using [Invisibility Technique] to hide his figure, Li Si took a look at the familiar towns and castles and nodded slightly.

For this teleportation, he did not arrange the spatial coordinates here in advance, but used [Teleportation Technique] based on spatial sensing to arrive here.

Originally this was also an attempt, and Li Si was already prepared to deviate from the target, but he did not expect that the result was quite good, with almost no deviation.

However, this may also be related to the short distance of the teleportation. The farther the distance, the higher the requirements for the mage user, and the higher the uncertainty.

Li Si came here not to revisit his old place, but to investigate the previous affairs of the Church of All Beasts.

This time, Li Si successfully killed [Blood Shark] Patrick on the Pearl Sea, grabbed the [Hurricane] from him, and also successfully promoted to the gold level.

Although the whole thing is proceeding according to Li Si's plan, it does not mean that the matter ends here.

Although the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts is not the strongest group among the Evil God Church, compared to other extraordinary organizations that believe in the Evil God, it is still a behemoth to Li Si.

[Flame of Judgment] The teacher may not care about the Church of All Beasts, but Li Si cannot do that. He must consider the revenge of the Church of All Beasts.

After meeting those few believers of the Church of All Beasts, Li Si understood that the negative state in him was extremely attractive to the Church of All Beasts.

[The Wrath of the Lord of Beasts]: You have hindered the Lord of Beasts from descending. The Lord of Beasts has remembered your insignificant existence. At the same time, your relationship with the Church of Beasts camp is locked: Dead Enemy (-10000)

In other words, Li Si didn't even need to think about easing the relationship with the Church of All Beasts. He had already locked in and became a mortal enemy.

Of course, Li Si had never thought of giving in to the Church of All Beasts, and started to compete with each other in a ruthless manner.

Li Si was very confident in this. He had killed so many people in the Church of All Beasts, but he didn't believe that the Church of All Beasts could endure it.

Even if his teacher is [Flame of Judgment], if they have a normal mind, they will not believe in the Lord of Beasts from the chaotic camp.

After Li Si was granted the territory of Luo'ou Peninsula, it would be very annoying if the Church of All Beasts still came to cause trouble.

Everything broken by then will belong to Li Si, and Li Si doesn't want to pay such a high price for the Church of Beasts.

Therefore, Li Si needed to make preparations in advance to collect information about the Church of Beasts, and it was best to strike first.

Li Si looked at the castle not far away. This time he came to see a doubt that he had missed before.

Li Si still remembered that he had followed Taiya's mercenary team and received a commission to come to Tony Baron Territory to deal with a Moon Leopard.

There was nothing much to say about the whole process, except that Li Si was a little curious about why the Moon Spirit Leopard living in the Great Elf Forest in the South appeared in the hinterland of the human kingdom.

Especially the Kingdom of Fes, which is actually the northern area of ​​Fanor continent.

At that time, traces of being detained by others were found on Yuelingbao's body. Naturally, someone was involved, but Li Si was curious about why those people did this.

You must know that a monster like the Moon Spirit Leopard is difficult to tame, and it is also one of the taboos of the elves. It is difficult to imagine who would choose to capture the Moon Spirit Leopard.

Li Si wrote this down, but so many things happened in Bright Light City that he forgot about it.

Li Si remembered this incident when he was thinking about things related to the Church of Beasts. At the same time, he also noticed what he had missed before.

That is, during the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos], among the monsters released by the Church of All Beasts, there were monsters like the Moon Spirit Leopard.

It would be interesting if the Moon Spirit Leopard that appeared in Baron Tony's territory escaped from the Church of Beasts.

It’s unclear whether Baron Tony has anything to do with the Church of All Beasts, but at least the Church of All Beasts at least stopped in Baron Tony’s territory when moving those monsters.

If this is the case, it means that among the nobles of Bright Light City there is a high possibility that there are collaborators of the Church of All Beasts, and even one of them is a believer of the Lord of All Beasts.

Thinking of this matter, Li Si asked Maura to help collect some recent information, and at the same time came to the Tony Baron Territory in person to prepare for an investigation.

Li Si stood on the hills not far from the castle, his eyes indifferent, and the majestic spiritual power spread from his body to the small town and castle in front of him.

Since being promoted to gold level, Li Si's mental power has also strengthened a lot, and it is not difficult for Li Si to explore the town in front of him.

"There's nothing strange about these people's houses."

"There is actually another silver-level guard. Does this Baron Tony have such strength?"

"It's so annoying, it's not dark yet!"

Li Si investigated and found nothing, nor did he sense any familiar information from the followers of the Lord of Beasts.

But he didn't expect that Baron Tony was doing bad things with the maid at home. He looked at it with a critical eye and saw that the chubby Baron suddenly slumped down and shook his head.

Rookie!

Just now, Li Si had completely explored the town in front of him and found no clues.

Then there's no way!

Of course, Li Si wouldn't just go back, and flew towards Baron Tony's castle in a flash.

Ask the person involved!

Li Sike has never had any mental burden to find clues to the Church of All Beasts. Not to mention that he is already a Duke, even if he does not have a title, he will not change his worries.

In the bedroom in the center of the castle,

The light yellow curtains have been drawn, and the room is a little dark.

"Lord Tony."

A small soft voice came from the bed, and the white and tender hands patted the fat on her body that completely covered her body.

"Lilin, how about this time?"

The fat Baron Tony turned over hard and lay on the thin quilt beside him, his forehead covered with glistening sweat.

"You're so awesome, I almost fainted!"

Feeling that the mountain on her body had finally moved away, the maid Lilin took a sharp breath. Although she felt a little disgusted in her heart, she still said in a sweet voice.

"Haha, I've lost a lot of weight recently, and I feel a lot more relaxed!"

Baron Tony patted his belly proudly and made a "pop" sound.

Although he usually treats his subordinates and subjects without pretense and maintains the dignity of his lord, he is still willing to talk to the little maid in his arms in bed.

Lilin struggled to get up, her hands and feet were aching but she still put on the black and white maid uniform, and slowly walked to the window and opened the curtains.

A cool breeze blew in, and the stuffy heat in the room dissipated a bit.

Although Lilin was quite popular with Baron Tony, she knew in her heart that she could only rely on the master, so she never acted petty or asked for anything else, and served Baron Tony with peace of mind.

I was originally going to help the master get dressed, but at this time every day, Baron Tony went to inspect the work of the people in the vineyard.

"Lilin, please get out."

Baron Tony's plain voice came from behind. Lilin's body trembled and she turned to look at the master lying on the bed.

Lilin, who didn't find anything wrong, didn't say anything and quietly walked out of the door, closing the door carefully at the same time.

After the maid left, Li Si's figure appeared in the room.

And Baron Tony slowly got up from the bed and stood naked in front of Lis.

Charm control spell [Human Charm]!

Baron Tony was just an ordinary nobleman, not even an extraordinary professional. He naturally had no ability to resist Li Si's spells.

Li Si asked Baron Tony to put on his big pants with some disgust, and then asked him:

"Are you Baron Tony?"

"Yes, my lord."

Baron Tony stood in front of Li Si, his eyes were dull and his tone was quite rigid.

After confirming again that it was him and that he had not been replaced, Li Si nodded and asked:

"Did a Moon Spirit Leopard appear in your territory last year and attack your territory?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Tell me the specific story."

"Last year, a Moon Spirit Leopard attacked my territory. My guards were no match, so I asked someone to help me hire a mercenary team named Ya'er Mercenary Group from the Bright Light City Mercenary Guild. Killed this Moon Spirit Leopard."

"Although I didn't see the Moon Spirit Leopard's body in the end, there were no more attacks, so it should have been resolved."

Listening to what Baron Tony said, Li Si frowned slightly and then asked:

"Do you know where that Moon Spirit Leopard came from?"

"Know."

Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard Baron Tony's affirmative reply.

Sure enough there is a problem!

"Tell me the origin of that Moon Spirit Leopard!"

"That was a magical beast that Count Petrie's men were temporarily guarding in my territory. It lasted about two months before the accident."

"It was what Count Petrie asked me to do. I didn't know what those people were doing at first. It wasn't until the Moon Spirit Leopard escaped that I learned that they actually put a group of dangerous monsters on my territory."

Even though he was mentally controlled by Li Si, Count Tony still showed a trace of lingering fear on his face.

"Those people left my territory only after taking care of the Moon Spirit Leopard."

"Similar things never happened again. Count Petrie also gave me a large sum of gold coins and asked me to keep my mouth shut."

Is that why you can hire more silver-level professionals to be your bodyguards? But it doesn't mean anything to me.

As for that Count Petrie.

Li Si touched his chin. It seemed that there was a court earl named Cobb Petrie in Bright Light City, but Li Si had no impression of this person.

If he took the lead in this matter, this person is likely to be related to the Church of All Beasts.

Li Si remembered that during the [Blood Sacrifice Chaos], several nobles were not involved. Now it seems that the remnants of the Church of All Beasts were not cleared away at that time!

No, if this Count Petrie is really the mastermind behind the [Blood Sacrifice Riot], how could he leave such an easily exposed hidden danger like Baron Tony?

Looking at Baron Tony's situation, he probably rarely goes to Bright Light City, and his connection with the city is not very close.

During the inquiry, Li Si knew that if Baron Tony knew that the monsters that appeared in the "Blood Sacrifice Chaos" were related to him and had appeared in his territory, how could he care about Count Petrie's warning given his temperament? I have already reported it to the Fes royal family.

Sure enough, do we still need to go find this Count Petrie?

Li Si was thinking secretly, and the figure sitting on the chair suddenly disappeared.

The breeze blew, and Baron Tony suddenly shivered.

What's wrong with me? Why am I standing on the ground barefoot?

Just when Baron Tony was confused, he suddenly heard a bang and the door was pushed open from the outside.

The little maid Lilin rushed in with two silver-level guards in the castle with an anxious look on her face.

"Sir, are you okay?"

"I didn't look right at you just now."

Seeing Lilin's anxious look, Baron Tony rubbed his round and cold forehead, and some cold sweat broke out on his back.

Sure enough, am I possessed by a ghost?

Do I have to go to Morningside Church and ask the pastor for baptismal purification?

Kane's Mansion in Shining Light City,

Lis didn't pay attention to Baron Tony's panic. Although he was a little curious about the little maid's courage, he left after confirming that Baron Tony really didn't know anything about the Church of Beasts.

Count Petrie?

Li Si was silent for a moment and then left the mansion again.

But this time, he didn't go directly to the Count Petrie, but to his good brother Mora.

As the head of the White Pigeon Merchant Guild, Mora is now considered a popular figure in Bright Light City, especially since most of the nobles have learned about Li Si’s actions in Berdych from different channels and will soon be awarded the title by His Majesty the King. With the title of Duke, he naturally wanted to show goodwill to Li Si through the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce.

That's it, Mora now spends almost every day communicating with other nobles and heads of chambers of commerce.

There was no way, because in the communication between them, although Li Si told him about his upcoming plan to go to the Port of Dan'erluo on the Luo'ao Peninsula, there were also many practical problems.

The most important thing is funds and resources!

Originally, Li Si expected that it would only be the territory around the Port of Dan Erluo. The wealth Li Si had accumulated from the Dilon Kingdom and the Pearl Sea should be enough. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. There was more than just Port Dan Erluo on the Luo'ou Peninsula.

Although the bulk is still Port of Dan'erluo, the gold coins expected to be consumed will quadruple.

The White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce alone is not enough to bear the expenses and consumption. Morad has to find a way to get some support from other nobles.

Mora didn't quite understand. In his opinion, it was not urgent to renovate and rebuild all the city walls and infrastructure, and to reserve too many strategic materials. He just had to take his time.

But with Li Si's insistence, Maura still put in the effort to prepare.

Li Si did not dislike the old territory, but he knew that the war between the Kingdom of Fes and the Kingdom of Berdych was just the prologue, and more and more disasters and crises were coming in the future.

Rather than trying to make up for it when the time comes, it is better to prepare in advance.

But this time, Li Si didn't find Mora at the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce. The manager said that Mora's father asked him to go back.

Li Si was a little surprised. This guy has really changed his ways now. He devotes himself to the work of the Baige Chamber of Commerce almost every day. This is the first time in the past few times that he has seen this guy go home without the Chamber of Commerce.

It is no exaggeration to say that the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce is developing so well now. In addition to the [self-charging] magic pattern related products provided by Li Si, it is more due to the hard work that Mora has put into the chamber of commerce.

Unfortunately, when Li Si saw Mora for the first time when he returned to Bright Light City, he almost thought that the pale guy was going to die suddenly in the next second.

After dealing with the players for a while and harvesting a wave of leeks with his own hands, Li Si rushed towards Karl's mansion.

In the study upstairs in the Karl family mansion,

A faint scent of incense floated in the air of the study, and the sun shone in from the window and fell on the two people sitting in the study.

Maura sat on the snow deerskin sofa in the study room, rubbing the corners of her eyes, yawning, and said a little tiredly:

"Father, why did you call me back?"

Wim Karl, Maura's father and the current president of the Golden Vine Flower Chamber of Commerce, had a few more grooves on his face than at last year's party.

He was sitting on the chair behind the desk. There were many scrolls recording information about the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Association on the table in front of him. He put down the quill in his hand and looked at the younger son who was obviously haggard in front of him.

Although Maura's condition was not good, the light in her eyes became brighter, and she no longer wanted to be as afraid of his father as before.

Mora, who has proven his ability through the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce, is much more mature than before. Although it is not the same as Wim's plan, Mora's change really makes him happy.

Wim was silent for a moment and did not answer Mora directly, but asked:

"Are you still busy with the Marquis Kane recently?"

"I heard that he will soon be made a Duke by His Majesty the King and will have a new territory?"

"Um."

Wim's words did not surprise Mora, after all, the news had spread among the nobles of Bright Light City.

In a sense, Mora was also the one who fueled the situation, in order to gain more support from the nobles.

After all, no matter how powerful Li Si was, he could not produce necessary supplies such as food and iron out of thin air. Faced with the huge demand listed by Li Si, Mora could only find possible channels as much as possible.

"So are you planning to go to his territory with that Li Si recently?"

"If I'm not wrong, Duke Kane's territory should be in the Berdych Kingdom, right?"

Wim asked Maura calmly, with a somewhat businesslike look.

"."

Maura did not answer, but became a little more energetic, sat up and frowned slightly.

What does this Lao Deng want to do?

Want to get news about Li Si from me?

Seeing Maura's somewhat wary look, Wim sighed, leaned back in the chair, and his face softened a lot.

"I did not mean anything else."

"I'm just asking what you think. Do you want to inherit the Golden Vine Flower Guild?"

Mora: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!
