Chapter 382: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

Danlo Port,

After the representatives of various noble families arrived, Bernard and Rolando also stood up and prepared to meet Ivor together.

"Ivor is getting more and more arrogant."

Rolando said with some dissatisfaction, tidying up his gorgeous clothes and the family emblem on his chest.

Although the Berdych Kingdom has been destroyed and has become a thing of the past, these nobles still hold on to their so-called glory.

Bernard, who was dressed in casual clothes, had no expression on his face, but sighed silently in his heart.

He was already thinking about whether to give up uniting these former colleagues.

With such a style, even if they can reach a cooperation this time, it will not last long in the future.

Is it still the time of the Berdych Kingdom?

However, Bernard did not have the slightest intention of persuading.

After all, even if he was once the Duke of the Berdych Kingdom, that was only the past after all.

What's the point of him using his previous title to ask others?

What's more, the fewer competitors, the better!

At this time, they are all wanderers who have lost their country, and they are eager to regain a foothold.

Led by the waiter, the group walked through the corridor of Ivor's mansion and stood in front of the reception room.

Pushing the door open, the bright sunlight shone in from the glass window on the right side of the reception room, like a golden ribbon dancing in the air.

At the end of the beam of light, a handsome boy sat quietly behind the long table, his figure outlined by the sunlight was particularly clear.

He wore a white shirt embroidered with gold thread, with a slightly open collar. His temperament was indifferent and mixed with a little casualness, as if everything was under control. His hands were gently placed on the table, his fingers were slender and powerful, as if ready to play a beautiful movement at any time.

Behind him, Grace and Ivor, the guardians of Port Danlo, stood there quietly, looking straight ahead, not caring about the surprised eyes of the old nobles of Berdych.

At the same time, there was a white-haired girl standing beside him. She lowered her head slightly to see her face under her bangs, but the simple white tassel dress had already outlined the girl's elegant and quiet temperament.

For a moment, Bernard, Rolando and others were stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Why was a young boy sitting in the main seat, while Ivor and Grace, who should have been the protagonists, stood behind him like guards, looking like they had nothing to do with them.

"Welcome everyone!"

Li Si tapped the table lightly and looked at the old nobles of the Berdych Kingdom in front of him with a smile.

"Please sit down."

Some people who didn't know what was going on looked at each other for a few seconds, and then sat down at the long table.

However, they all sat on the side of the long table away from Li Si, and it looked like they were fighting together.

Li Si didn't care at all, but instead set his eyes on Bernard.

Among these old nobles in front of him, Li Si found that there were a few "acquaintances".

They appeared in many side plots on the Luo Peninsula and the Pearl Sea, but they were basically insignificant characters.

But this Bernard was different. This guy was a talent!

Generally speaking, in the war between human kingdoms, in addition to the battles between the frontal army and the extraordinary professionals, mutual infiltration is a necessary means.

Especially for the lords and nobles of the enemy country, if they can be successfully persuaded to surrender, it is equivalent to taking a piece of territory without bloodshed.

In the war between the Kingdom of Fez and the Kingdom of Bertich, the Kingdom of Fez was also prepared to take this measure after the first wave of fighting, but the Kingdom of Bertich was defeated, and the corruption of the lords and nobles shocked the three views of the leaders of the Fez army.

They found that the resistance and will of the lords and nobles to defend the territory were particularly weak. It seemed that compared with persuading them to surrender, direct attack could save more time.

And they could also get more land to reward their own people.

So after reporting to King Morton, the Fez army rarely accepted the surrender of the Bertich nobles, but instead plundered their wealth and territory.

This is why these Bertich nobles later chose to abandon their territory and flee.

After all, in this way, the wealth and strength accumulated by the family could be preserved before.

These old nobles later wanted to change their ways and continue to cling to the Kingdom of Fez.

They are also the source of many chaos.

But this is no longer a threat to Li Si now.

However, Bernard is worth his attention.

This person is one of the few among the old nobles of Berdych who is willing to give up the past noble glory and start anew in the Kingdom of Fez.

Li Si remembered that this person was once the Duke of the Kingdom of Berdych. Later, the Kingdom of Fez cleared out the remnants of the Berdych remnants who were secretly making trouble and pacified the pirates of the Pearl Sea. He was awarded the title of Marquis by the Kingdom of Fez.

He is one of the best among the old nobles of Berdych.

Moreover, compared with his own strength, his ability in internal affairs is stronger. He once served as a regional governor for a period of time.

Well.

Li Si is jealous!

He is in urgent need of such talents now!

With such a large territory as the Luou Peninsula, Li Si is in great need of talents now, especially in territory management.

As for the issue of trust, Li Si is not worried.

Anyway, he has the strength to overturn the table, and he doesn't worry about other people having bad intentions or making small moves.

"My name is Li Si Kane."

After Li Si thought about it for a moment, he smiled and said to the people opposite him.

"I have already heard from Ivor what you think and mean, but I would like to know in what aspects do you want to cooperate?"

When Bernal, who was sitting opposite, heard Li Si's name, although his face was expressionless, his heart suddenly sank.

It's over.

He knew Lisi Kane's name very well. After choosing to give up his territory and noble title, and leading his family to hide in secret, he naturally would not give up collecting intelligence about the Kingdom of Fes.

This is the capital for the family's comeback.

Lis Cain, the Marquis of the Kingdom of Fes, is a gold-level mage. His teacher is the legendary powerhouse [Flame of Judgment]. He once brazenly killed Archmage Wendel, the leader of the Royal Mage Group of the Kingdom of Berdych, outside Huangshi City.

Bernal learned this information from the soldiers of the Fez Army. After all, people always have to have rest and entertainment. It is not difficult to extract such information from the drunken soldiers.

And Li Si Kane clearly left after the decisive battle in Huangshi City, why did he appear here?

Seeing the respectful and humble attitudes of Ivor and Grace, Bernal already had new guesses.

Could it be that Port Danelluo has become this person’s territory?

With his status, it is very likely that King Morton would make such a decision.

It has to be said that although Bernal did not receive any news from Bright Light City, he still had a pretty good guess.

Now Bernal is on pins and needles.

Their previous proposal with Ivor was obviously not acceptable to the noble lords here. It was tantamount to dancing and mocking directly in front of Li Si.

No, we have to find a way to get out!

Bernal thought, thinking hard about how to find the right opportunity.

Bernard is not the only smart person, there are also a few people among the old nobles of Berdych whose expressions are a little strange.

Maybe they didn't know as much as Bernal, but they had all heard of Li Si's name.

Of course, there are also people who have never heard of it

Rolando is one of them. Although his strength is pretty good, the others are average.

He can use his brain, but not much.

After listening to Li Si's words, he found that no one around him said anything, so he took the lead and said:

"Yes, Sir Li Si."

"After all, the Port of Dan'erluo was run by us nobles little by little. Naturally, we don't want to give up the accumulation here."

Although Rolando didn't know Li Si, with Ivor and Grace standing behind him, the identity of the young man in front of him must be extraordinary.

He also held back his temper and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency Li Si, if it were you, we would be willing to give you an additional 10% commission."

Li Si looked at Rolando in front of him with interest, smiled and said:

"I don't know what to call you?"

Rolando heard this and said with a little pride:

"I am Rolando Linton, Duke Linton of the Berdych Kingdom."

Hmm. Never heard of it.

Sure, this should be a dish!

"Your Excellency Li Si, I think you should be the governor appointed by the Kingdom of Fes, right?"

"If you are willing to cooperate, I believe that with our efforts, the future of Port Den Erluo will be even better!"

“You can also have wealth that you never imagined before!”

Rolando said sincerely.

In his opinion, for someone as young as Li Si to be able to order Ivor and Grace, his status is certainly not simple, and he may even be a descendant of those in the Fez army!

Seeing the prosperity of Dan Erluo Port, he thought of ways to win it.

As for whether he is the new lord of Port Delro, Rolando thinks it is unlikely.

After all, it has only been a long time since the Fez army broke through Huangshi City and cleaned up the place.

In this short time, it was too late to go to the Brilliant City, the capital of the King of Fes, to accept the canonization of His Majesty the King, and then to travel a long distance to get here.

He even felt that Li Si was probably just a temporary governor, and the Kingdom of Fes might grant this place to other nobles in the future.

By then, Dan Erluo Port will have nothing to do with Li Si.

If you don’t take advantage of this little time to catch it one more time, what are you waiting for?

Rolando even thought that after everything became familiar, he could even secretly join forces to kick Li Si out.

Just like they did to the governors sent by the Berdych Kingdom to the Port of Darro.

Rolando thought proudly and turned to look at his colleagues around him, hoping to find a few people to persuade Li Si.

But he found that few of the old nobles responded to him.

Especially Bernal, sitting next to him like a piece of wood, he secretly did not even see the eyes.

In the end, you have to rely on yourself!

Just when Rolando was about to say something more, Li Si suddenly said:

"I heard everything you said clearly. It's quite interesting."

"How to cooperate specifically? Can you tell me what help you need?"

Seeing that Li Si seemed to be a little moved, Rolando also became happy and racked his brains to introduce to Li Si.

Although he believed that as a former Duke, his status should be the most noble one present, but the situation was stronger than the person, Rolando still worked very hard to introduce everything that came to mind to Li Si.

From secretly cooperating to suppress the prices of merchant shipping goods from other regions, to jointly monopolizing Bertig's specialties to obtain high profits, etc.

Rolando told everything he had learned before.

After a while, looking at Rolando who seemed a little thirsty, Li Si nodded with satisfaction and said to Ivor beside him:

"Remember? What he just said, I don't want to see again in Port Delluo."

The reason why Li Si talked to Ivor was because he planned to let Ivor stay in Dan Erluo Port, control the space teleportation array and supervise everything that happened in Dan Erluo Port.

As for Grace, as a warrior, it is more useful for him to lead the escort team to clean up the magical beasts and rebel forces that appear in the territory of Loou Peninsula.

"Lord Li Si, what do you mean?"

Rolando heard what Li Si just said. After all, he did not lower his voice and everyone in the room heard it clearly.

Rolando suddenly felt like he had been fooled, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

"Oh, I didn't mean anything else."

Li Si glanced at Rolando with a smile and said nonchalantly:

"As the lord of Dan'erluo Port, I welcome everyone to establish a chamber of commerce in Dan'erluo Port to make profits, but only if you abide by my rules!"

"As for what you just said, don't think about it."

Rolando gritted his teeth and looked at Li Si. He was so angry that he didn't notice Li Si's previous self-identification. His mind was filled with Li Si's behavior of teasing him like a child.

"Why?"

Rolando suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't understand why Li Si did this.

"You can obviously make a lot more money, but do you want to show off in front of your king?"

Faced with Rolando's sarcasm, Li Si shook his head, looked at the polished tabletop with his right hand and said:

"You can't even understand this. I can only say that your former title of duke was pure fate. No wonder you are so incompetent and angry now."

boom!

"Damn guy!"

"Do you really think you alone have the final say in Port Dan'erluo?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Rolando stood up suddenly, causing the chair to fall to the floor behind him with a loud crash.

The loss of the title of duke has always been a hidden pain in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he has always maintained his demeanor as a duke even in normal times.

The anger of having his scars revealed made him unable to care about anything else.

"Just wait, you'll regret it!"

This is not possible!

Bernal, who had been silent all this time, was a little anxious. He had been trying to buy time to find an opportunity to explain to Li Si privately, but he didn't expect that Rolando would fall out in just a short while.

He didn't want to be regarded as Rolando's companion and be forced to give up this rare opportunity.

There was room in what Li Si said just now.

Just when he was about to stand up and explain, some warm liquid fell on his face from his right side.

Bernal touched it subconsciously, only to find that his hand was full of scarlet color.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and he turned to look to the right. Rolando, who was originally standing on his right, was now only a headless body lying on the ground.

Scarlet liquid continued to spread from the smooth fracture of the neck to the surroundings, and the smell of blood continued to stimulate the nerves of the people around him.

Exclamations came, and the old nobles stood up in disbelief and retreated back.

They were not as arrogant as Rolando. After hearing what Li Si just said, they had already guessed Li Si's identity.

But they didn't expect that Li Si would take action so brazenly and kill Rolando, who had silver-level strength, directly in front of him.

Li Si shook the index finger he just extended and smiled warmly:

"I don't think I'll regret it."

"But you seem to have no chance to regret it."
