The Garza warehouse is one of the largest warehouses in Icepeak City, and it is also an exclusive large warehouse used by the royal family of the Dillon Kingdom, storing the daily consumption of the royal family, most of which are transported from outside the city.

The Garza Warehouse is located directly west of Icepeak, near the location of the Ice Castle Palace.

The year before last, most of the Garza warehouse was burned down due to a fire, but the city guards and the royal court guards reacted in time and did not affect the ice castle palace.

Last year, the kingdom's treasury spent a lot of money to rebuild the Garza warehouse, so this document is also called the new Garza warehouse.

Lees remembers very well that the place where the [Devil's Gate] rose was not in the Garza warehouse, but in the major event mission at that time, one of the several locations guarded by Duke Ward's men included the Garza warehouse.

That said, there must be something wrong with this place!

Let's see if we can find this place at this opportunity, and exacerbate the conflict between the king and the Duke of Ward in advance.

Hans looked at the two documents in his hand, one was the newly built Garza warehouse, and the other was the repair work of the city walls of Icepeak City, both of which were one of the most important construction projects of Icepeak City.

Hans didn't think that going to these two places to see what was wrong with the assistant treasurer, maybe this Kenn Simon just wanted to make a show for the people above and show it.

It's hard to refuse.

"I see, Simeon-sama, I'll plan my trip for tomorrow."

"Well, let's go, let's organize people to start checking the tax account books first, it's all up to you, and I'll tell you if you have something."

Li Si nodded, not caring at all, honestly preparing to be a mascot.

Hans nodded, got Simon's orders, and left to carry out the work.

Originally, everything had been arranged, including manpower and account books, but it was just that Li Si needed to push him out as a target.

As for whether Philip has a problem at all?

Just kidding, the purpose is not really to find a problem, as long as it is needed, the problem will "naturally generate".

Call~

Hans, who was walking in the corridors of the palace, breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered why he had always felt a little depressed in the office of the treasurer just now.

Is this the coercion of the once extraordinary powerhouse?

It's better to pay attention!

After Hans left, Lees stayed in his office honestly, waiting for something that might come to the door at any time.

As a result, a day passed, and except for the waiter who came to deliver lunch, no one came to disturb Li Si.

"Is this the mascot?"

Li Si smiled, and then packed up and prepared to return to "his own" home.

Dodo~

The knock on the door rang out at an inopportune time.

Li Si looked at the already dark sky outside the window, and was a little curious about who would come to him at this time.

"Enter!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and a smiling middle-aged man appeared in front of Li Si.

This person is very familiar, the financial assistant Flor Philippe!

Lees had a picture of the man from Ken Simon.

How could he come to him at this time?

Could it be that you've noticed that I'm going to "do something" to him?

"Haha, Ken, are you going back?"

Philip said with a smile, his tone was intimate, and he looked enthusiastic, and others seemed to think that the two were good friends!

But Lees knew that Ken Simon didn't have a personal relationship with this man.

So what is this going for?

Li Si raised his vigilance in his heart, put on a red and black coat without changing his face, and asked with his palms on his hand:

"Something?"

He didn't seem to notice Lees' hard tone, and the smile on Philip's face was even better.

"Duke Ward has held a party in the mansion tonight, and I specially asked me to invite you to join me!"

Lees, who was staring at Ken Simon's serious face, frowned slightly, and refused:

"I'm sorry, please apologize to my Duke for me, I have some personal matters tonight."

Is this a temptation to perceive King Lucar and start fighting?

It's a nuisance!

Li Si knew very well that whether it was according to common sense or his own thoughts, he could not accept Philip's invitation at this time.

Before entering Ice Peak City, Li Si made up his mind that the more low-key Ken Simon's identity is, the better, and it is Li Si's other identity that is causing trouble on the bright side.

Refusal, and the more decisive the refusal, the more it reflects Ken Simon's serious and old-fashioned temperament.

"Don't say that."

The smile on Philip's face remained unchanged, and he took a few steps forward and patted Lees on the shoulder.

"Duke Ward has admired you for a long time, Ken."

"Don't miss this opportunity!"

Just as Philip touched Li Si's body, Li Si felt a special spiritual power pouring into his body from the place where the two of them touched.

This spiritual power was very secretive, slowly spreading towards Li Si's mind.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Si was an arcane master, ordinary transcendent professionals might not have noticed this special spiritual power.

[Special psychic force effect detected!] ]

[You accept the [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion] Consciousness Judgment!] ]

[Verdict.]

[Specialty [Blessing of the River Styx] effect triggers!] [Spirit] status takes effect! ]

[You are exempt from this ritual decision!] ]——

[Intermediate subliminal cues]?

I go, how can Philip have this ability?

[Subliminal Suggestion] is a very special skill, the effect is to influence the target's subconscious, so that it subconsciously makes the user's desired choice.

The effect of this skill is very stealthy, and there are no after-effects, so it will not be checked, but it also has its flaws.

That is, the impact effect is limited!

For example, if this skill is effective, it can affect what Li Si chooses to eat for dinner, but it can't make Li Si continue to work overtime.

This must be the effect of the magic props on Philip's body, touching my body to conceal the transmission of magical power, and to avoid being detected by the palace detection circle.

This is supposed to be the effect of a magic prop, what does Philip want me to do?

If it was Ken Simon who had lost his extraordinary power, he would not be able to resist the effect of [Intermediate Subconscious Suggestion].

Seeing that Li Si was silent for a moment, Philip then asked:

"Well, come with me to Duke Ward's party."

So, just to get me to see Duke Ward?

"Okay."

Li Si pretended to be affected by [Intermediate Subliminal Suggestion], and nodded in agreement with Philip's proposal.

"Let's go, then."

Philip said with a smile, walking side by side with Li Si towards the outside of the Ice Castle Palace.

Looking at the small officials who noticed the two on the side, the smile on Philip's face was even better.

Hans, who had noticed the two of them from afar, had a somewhat ugly face, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the room of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Salas.

Led by Philip, Lees got into a carriage bearing the coat of arms of Duke Ward's family and headed east of the city.

Li Si noticed that there were several other carriages waiting outside the Ice Castle Palace.
