Li Si looked at the small box placed in front of him, and said with a smile:

"It was just an accident, and you were too polite."

Ander waved his hand and said:

"In the end, Ignos didn't do his duty, and I admire your generosity, but that doesn't mean that the Solo family doesn't show sincerity."

Ignos, who was on the side, also bowed down and said:

"Thank you for forgiving me for the offense."

It seems that Count Solo is indeed sincerely grateful, and it is estimated that he also has the idea of not wanting to owe too much favor.

Li Si also nodded and said:

"Then I'll take it, and I hope that your friendship will last as long as the Garneau Mountains!"

Ander also smiled and said:

"Of course, the Solo family will always be your friends."

Sure enough, with strength and background, I really have "friends" wherever I go.

Li Si thought so in his heart, and at the same time heard Ender speak.

"You might as well open it up and take a look, this is a gift I have carefully selected, I hope you will like it."

Li Si didn't twist when he heard this, and directly picked up the small dark gray box in front of him, which was still a little heavy.

What could it be?

Li Si couldn't help but be a little curious, and gently opened the small box.

On the velvet fabric, lying quietly was a purple transparent crystal shaped like a twisted branch, covered with fine cross-sections, reflecting a slightly dreamlike lilac light.

Li Si couldn't help but mutter:

"Requiem Gem?"

"Lord Li Si really deserves to be a disciple of [Flame of Judgment]!"

Ander was a little surprised that Li Si could recognize this treasure so quickly, and clapped his hands in exclamation.

"Since I got this gem, I have hired many appraisers and spent a lot of time to find out what it is, and I didn't expect you to recognize it at once."

Li Si gently took the purple gem out of the box and put it in his hand to examine it carefully.

Although it is only a small gemstone, the weight is quite amazing, even two or three times that of the same volume of metallic iron.

Looking closely at the cross-section of the gemstone, the reflected light appears to be slightly distorted.

Without systematic identification, Li Si has already confirmed that this is a genuine [Requiem Gem]!

The reason why Li Si was able to recognize it was because in his previous life, he had been lucky enough to get a [Requiem Gem], and finally sold it at the price of 100,000 gold coins, a wave of fat!

So he was very impressed.

[Requiem Gem] is different from the Azure Gem and Emerald Gem in Li Si's hand, the power contained in it is not a variety of elemental power, but a special soul power.

Similarly, Requiem Gems are not produced from Elemental Hedron Mines or Gem Ores, it can be born anywhere in the world, and no one knows how it was created at this time.

Some people speculate that this is the crystallization of the condensation of those souls who entered the underworld, and others speculate that it is the product of the legendary dream world, and there are many related conjectures, but none of them have been confirmed.

The [Requiem Gem] has a great effect, it can make up for the damage to the soul of the strong, can enhance the soul of the user, and is also a necessity for some high-level ritual circles.

Li Si knew that in the [Miracle Resurrection Ritual of St. Laar] of the Dawn Church, the [Requiem Gem] was needed, which was a ritual circle that could resurrect a high-level professional without damage.

While Requiem Gems are widely used, they are produced in small quantities each year, so their prices are also very high.

The [Requiem Gem] in Li Si's hand was a little larger than the one he got in his previous life, and it was estimated to be worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Tyrants!

This thought was only left in Lees's mind.

"That's too expensive."

Li Si put the [Requiem Gem] in his hand back into the box, looked at Ander and said.

Ander looked unconcerned, and said:

"This treasure was found in my territory, and it is of little use to me, it just so happens that you are a mage, so I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Li Si hesitated, nodded, and honestly put away the small box containing the gem.

Count Solo, the mainstay of the northern realm of the kingdom, I am optimistic about you!

Having said that, Count Solow's gift was a bit too generous, and it completely exceeded the level of apology.

I owe Count Solo a favor.

After all, [Requiem Gem] Li Si also has a special need, and he also entrusted the Fez Chamber of Commerce to help buy it before, but unfortunately there is no exact news when he leaves Bright City.

I didn't expect to gain anything here!

Count Solo was also very happy that Li Si could accept this gem, for him, a [Requiem Gem] was nothing.

If you can make friends with this Marquis of Kane, if you can find the two big guys behind him, it will be a foreshadowing!

Li Si took a sip of his wine glass, hesitated for a moment and said:

"You're so kind, but I do have something I want to talk to you about."

Seeing Li Si's slightly serious expression, Count Solo straightened up a little, and asked with a smile:

"Is it related to Marquis Kane's coming to the North?"

"Part of it."

Li Si was silent for a moment, and then organized the following language:

"You know about the kingdom's declaration of war on the Berdych kingdom."

When Ander heard what Li Si said about this, he immediately became serious, nodded slightly, and said:

"It's natural, as a border nobleman, I've been following this war all along."

"I heard that the Duke of Baird has broken through the city of Belu and is advancing towards the hinterland of the Berdych Kingdom."

"Duke Ram has also broken through the blockade of Danyi Pass."

"The war is going well!"

Hearing that Ender was well aware of the intelligence of the war in the eastern border of the kingdom, Li Si was not surprised, and continued:

"The flames of war have already begun, so naturally it will not be limited to the eastern part of the kingdom."

Hearing Lees's words, Ender was silent for a moment, and said cautiously:

"You're saying there's war in the North, too?"

Li Si looked at Ender with a smile and said calmly:

"Isn't that the task given to you by Lord Aven, to keep an eye on the kingdom of Dillon in the north."

Ander looked at Li Si suddenly, paused for a moment, raised his hand and touched his hair to hide his gaffe, and said seriously:

"I didn't expect Marquis Kane to even know this, His Majesty really trusts you!"

Li Si shrugged, our king probably didn't even know that I was coming to the north.

You can't say that I know this from the main story quests in my previous life, right?

Ander Solo is a disciple of the legendary warrior monk [Broken Mountain] Evan Deen of the Fezy Kingdom, and can be described as a royal nobleman with strong roots, and is deeply trusted by King Fez.

Because of the particularity of his family's territory, when he left the royal capital and returned to his family to inherit the title, he was entrusted by King Morton with the task of secretly accumulating strength to guard against the Dillon Kingdom.
