Ice Castle Palace, Ken Simon's room.

Tuk Tuk~

"Please come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside, and it was Hans Cruz, the second secretary of the Chancellor of the Exchequer whom he had met yesterday.

"Lord Simon, when are you going to inspect those two places today, I have already arranged it."

"Now!"

Li Si stood up from his chair and said neatly and simply.

If it weren't for the cane in his hand, Hans would have felt like he was facing a real soldier.

"Hans, how's the rest of the work?"

Lees put on his coat, tightened his neckline, and asked Hans, who was standing in the doorway.

"It's all arranged, please rest assured."

Hans lowered his head and said seriously:

"Regarding the work of last year's tax clearance, special personnel have been arranged to carry out the inventory, and they are all people who can be trusted, please rest assured."

"When I went to inform Lord Philip this morning, there was no conflict."

Although he did not know if the financial clerk could understand what he meant, Hans nevertheless told the "Lord Simon" what he knew.

"It's just"

Looking at the hesitation on Hans's face, Li Si asked with an unchanged face:

"What's wrong, what's the change?"

"No, it's just that I seemed to see you with Mistress Philip yesterday afternoon."

After hesitating for a moment, Hans gritted his teeth and asked the doubts in his heart.

He hadn't slept well all night last night because of this, because the task assigned by Lord Gilberto this time was so important, and if it went well, he could even become the next assistant to the treasury, which is why Hans was so active.

But I didn't expect Ken Simon, who was supposed to be the leading eldest brother, to leave with Philip, just like the general who led the army to surrender directly before the war officially began.

Hans was going to report the matter to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but after thinking about it, he asked first.

"Oh, Philip took me to Duke Ward, rest assured, Lord Belberto knows about it."

Li Si's face did not change in the slightest, and he glanced at Hans.

This morning, as soon as he arrived, he reported the events of last night to the king's henchmen, and Ken Simon's identity was not prepared to jump sideways repeatedly, so he must avoid the suspicion of his own boss.

Moreover, this matter must not be hidden from those people.

Just yesterday evening, the carriages with the coat of arms of the Duke of Ward at the gates of the palace were not noticed by the blind.

It was a demonstration by the Duke of Ward, and likewise, His Majesty the King and Gilberto must have noticed.

This morning, after Li Si recounted the relevant situation, especially pointed out his doubts about why he didn't know why he agreed to participate in the party, Gilberto didn't look surprised at all, but comforted Li Si and asked Li Si not to think too much.

It seems that the king's side also knows Duke Ward's methods.

Mars already has it, just wait for the fight to begin.

"That's good."

Hans breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem like he thought, the treasurer might have his own plans, and Lord Gilberto knew.

Afterwards, the two of them, accompanied by petty officials and attendants, went to the walls of Ice Peak City and the warehouse of New Garza to inspect the work.

——

In the afternoon, Garza warehouse.

After inspecting the construction of the walls of Ice Peak City in the morning and having lunch, Li Si came to the main target of the day, the Garza warehouse next to the Ice Castle Palace.

"Lord Simon, please come with me."

A middle-aged man in his forties with a somewhat round figure bent over and walked in front of Li Si, with a flattering smile on his face.

This man was Talib, steward of the Garza storehouse.

He was actually a subordinate official of the Ice Castle Palace, and he didn't care much about ordinary officials.

But this Ken Simon in front of him is certainly not, this big man is one of the high-ranking officials of the kingdom, especially the financial affairs officer who holds the financial power of the kingdom.

"In this reconstruction, all the warehouses are made of the best black rock bricks, and we have made special fire prevention arrangements and special personnel to take care of them, so there will definitely not be another fire like before."

"Hmm."

Li Si nodded and looked around.

All the attendants looked at the big guy here and there, and knocked a few times from time to time to make a sound.

What's going on?,I've never seen a big guy check it so seriously before?

Talib wiped the cold sweat from his head and said silently in his heart.

I don't think I can see it, but I'm just using a little, slightly inferior stone.

Talib even silently prayed to the goddess of ice and snow in his heart.

Hans on the side was already surprised, this is how Lord Simon checked when he was at the wall of Ice Peak City in the morning, otherwise how could he spend a morning.

However, I didn't expect Lord Simon to be so serious when he worked, so Lord Gilberto handed over this matter to him?

Lees didn't know that Hans's mental activity was so rich.

He was so meticulous that he was only looking for the arrangement of the Duke of Ward's warehouse in Garza, and as for the morning at the city wall, it was only a disguise.

Accompanied by the warehouse steward, Li Si turned around all the warehouses, but he didn't find them.

Lees even secretly used detection magic, but he couldn't find anything special.

"Lord Simon, this is the last Warehouse Eight."

Talib, who had been with the financial affairs officer for an afternoon, was full of exhaustion, and his nerves were a little tense for a long time, and he had been pampered for the first time, and this was the first time he had walked through all the warehouses of his subordinates at once.

But it's okay, it's almost over!

Li Si's face didn't change much, but when he stepped into the eighth warehouse, there was a smile on his face.

Finally found it!

The magic fluctuations that returned from his feet told Li Si that there was a huge space under the ground here, and it should be about the size of the warehouse in front of him.

He glanced at the warehouse supervisor Talib and saw that his face had not changed.

In the hidden place underground, it should be Duke Ward's arrangement, and this storekeeper is not Duke Ward's internal response?

But it doesn't matter!

As if he hadn't found anything, Lees inspected the warehouse as before, then praised Talib for his work and left the Garza warehouse with Hans.

Just kidding, of course Li Si wouldn't have to demolish the layout in the warehouse himself, wouldn't that directly attract Duke Ward's hatred to himself?

Mainly low-key, the credit of reporting is of little use to Lees, the real Kenn Simon has gone to the kingdom of Fez, and after Lees leaves, everything obtained by this identity will be abandoned.

What's more, isn't there a better scapegoat?

Those players who are not afraid of the sky and the earth!

Since entering the kingdom of Dillon, Lees has not gone to the taverns in every place to recruit players as before.

After all, the purpose of entering the Kingdom of Dillon was to make trouble, and the players would not keep it a secret for themselves.

So Li Si could only give up ruthlessly, looking at the group of high-quality and fresh leeks in the Dillon Kingdom and couldn't mark himself.

But that doesn't mean players can't come in handy, like now.

Dressed in a black cloak and wrapped around his body tightly, Li Si walked into the mercenary tavern located in the lower part of Icepeak City.

This mercenary tavern is quite lively at this time, after all, it is winter, and there are almost no mercenary commissions who need to go out of the city, so most of the mercenaries stay in the city, and the only pastime is to drink in the tavern and brag with others.

When Li Si walked in the door, the tables and chairs in the center of the tavern had been cleared, and the vacated place was tightly surrounded by many mercenaries, and the two mercenaries with big shoulders and round waists in the middle were colliding with their muscles in full swing.

Maybe this is the panicked mercenaries, the onlookers are cheering on the wrestlers they support, and Li Si even saw someone opening a bet on winning or losing.

Li Si just glanced at it a few times and didn't pay attention, he was never interested in this kind of wrestling with too high a concentration of male hormones.

The purpose of his coming here is also very simple, which is to find a few players to issue a commission mission.

Soon, Lees found several targets.

The three men with the fugitive of Paris, the retired barmaid and the cherry calf on their heads were standing at the table next to them, happily watching the game in the middle of the tavern.

"I said, go over there, I'm going to fall."

[Cherry Little Calf] pushed [Our Lady of Paris on the Run] and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you let the bar spirit give way, obviously he stands in the most places."

Our Lady complained, but carefully gave way to the side.

"I can't do it, I'm afraid!"

The calf said confidently, and then his eyes were drawn to the passionate battle.

Calf, Madonna and Bar Spirit are all college students, four people in a dormitory, in addition to the three of them, there is also a [antenna short circuit baby] is not online.

At that moment, they felt a knock on the table beneath their feet, and then saw a man in a black cloak watching the three of them.

"Is there something wrong?"

Our Lady of Paris on the Run, jumped off the table, he could already smell the mission.

But apparently he didn't realize that after he left, the table quickly lost its balance, and the bars and calves fell to the ground along with the table at once.

Bang dang~

duangduangduang~

Before it was the sound of the table falling to the ground, and then it was the sound of the Virgin being hammered.

Li Si stood aside, looking at the scene of the three people playing treasure in front of him, and hesitated.

Do you want to change your choice? These three people don't look reliable.

Forget it, there didn't seem to be any famous players in Bingfeng City in the previous life, and there were no professional players stationed in it, and the three people in front of me were all about level 15, and the equipment was quite good.

After hesitating for a while, Li Si decided to just look at the three people in front of him.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Our Lady tidied up her messy clothes and smiled.

He chose the charismatic talent to start the game as a diplomat for their four-person squad, and basically left all the contact with NPCs to him.

As the game progresses, players also figure out some tricks for the game Apocalypse.

For example, players with higher charisma attributes are more likely to gain the trust of game NPCs, maybe this is the benefit of Face Shuai?

"I have a mission, are you any interested?"

The black-robed man's voice was low, his face under the hood was blurred, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Of course!"

Seeing that it was really a task, Our Lady immediately nodded and agreed.

Just kidding, the four of them who were born in Ice Peak City already regretted it, although they were lucky that the four of them were together, but the winter here was really difficult, and there were not many tasks, compared to the daily life posted by those southern players in the player forum, Our Lady felt that she and the others were simply doing penance, too boring.

But now it's finally time for the plot!

"Well, I think"

As the black-robed man lowered his voice to talk about his entrusted mission this time, the task panel of the Holy Mother, the Calf, and the Bar Spirit also swiped out new task prompts.

——

[Silver Mission: Destroy the Garza Warehouse!] ]

[Requirements: The Black-robed Man needs you to destroy the Garza warehouse, which is a very difficult task!] And, of course, the pay is just as good! ]

[Reward: 15W experience points, 1000 gold coins, 1 fire elemental intermediate elemental gem]

[Hint: The black-robed man will provide special quest props, please use them properly, there is no chance of failure!] ]——

Looking at the task reward in front of them, the eyes of the three people lit up.

This reward is too generous for them when they are still little bronze!

There was no need to discuss it at all, and the three of them directly chose to accept the task.

"Rest assured, even if we fight for our lives, we will complete this task."

Our Lady said impassionedly, patting her chest.

Forget it, don't think I didn't know you were going to be resurrected!

Li Si, who was disguised as a black-robed man, was a little speechless, who didn't know the routines of these players.

Immediately, Li Si took out two fist-sized gray iron balls and handed them to the Virgin.

"It's a high-energy bomb, I need you to put it in warehouse 8 in the Garza warehouse and throw it on the ground."

"Once this bomb is activated, it will explode in a minute, so you should use it carefully."

"Of course, if you fail, the honorarium is gone."

Listening to the low laughter of the black-robed man, a new message was swiped on the panel of the three of them.

[Warning: [Mission: Destroy the Garza warehouse!] If you are caught by the Warehouse Guard, or if you don't destroy Warehouse 8, you will be considered a mission failure! ]

Sounds like a bit of a hassle.

"No problem!"

[Our Lady of Paris on the Run] took the bomb handed over by Lees, and looked ready to be heroic at any time.

But when he saw the details of the bomb in his hand, his hands couldn't help shaking, and he hurriedly grabbed it with both hands.

[[Intermediate High Energy Bomb]: A combination of extremely powerful gunpowder and a special magic pattern, detonating to cause 10,000 fire damage and 10,000 impact damage to targets within a 10*10M radius in the core area. This bomb is specially treated and is more like a giant firework than a bomb! ]

Mandarin!

10,000 damage!

Our Lady looked at the pitiful three-digit health on her panel, is this the power of high-level items!

All the players in Ice Peak City standing together are not enough for him to blow up!

"That's it, when you're done, I'll come here again to find you!"

Li Si nodded, and then ignored the three strange people who were looking down to study the explosives, and got up to leave.

I hope that His Majesty Lucar and Duke Ward will enjoy this great gift!
