Chapter 274: Duke Ward is back to the black pot again!

Outside Ice Peak City, Li Si prepared an underground hideout with spatial coordinates in advance.

In the originally dim cavern, the space fluctuated and distorted, and a figure wearing a black mage robe suddenly appeared in mid-air, falling to the ground in some embarrassment.

Li Si grinned, feeling the sharp pain coming from all over his body, and decided that it would be better to lie down honestly for a while.

Although he successfully pretended to be Bo Da this time, as a silver professional, he played a group of top gold-level powerhouses in the kingdom, but the price paid by Li Si was also quite large.

Most of the serious injuries are due to the use of energy beyond the body's capacity, which has caused a great load and backlash on the body.

This is also because Li Si has a special talent, if he changes to a mage of the same level, he may directly explode his body and die without a corpse under the same circumstances.

In addition, the elemental origin power accumulated over the years in the legendary accessory [Sphinx's Wisdom] has also been exhausted, and before Li Si fully grasps this legendary equipment, he can only wait for it to recover on its own.

In addition, it is the magic items that were spent this time, and as for the task rewards for the Virgin and the players, it is nothing to Lis.

For Li Si, who got the gift package of the Cold Pine Chamber of Commerce in the North Wind City, this bit of wealth was nothing.

But at the same time, this time the previous goal was also achieved, and the impact was also considerable, and this "fireworks show" can be said to have affected the entire Ice Peak City, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

If you go back and explore the dream world, you can see if you have achieved your intended goal.

However, at least tonight, Li Si does not plan to return to Icepeak City.

One is that Li Si is now seriously injured, and it will take some time to return to physical activities and not be affected.

On the other hand, Li Si didn't dare to return to Ice Peak City now.

Just now, when he was using the [Advanced Teleportation Technique] to leave Ice Peak City, he saw the [Top High Energy Bomb] that was sent to the central courtyard of the Ice Castle Palace through the [Teleportation Technique], and although the explosion was finally completed, the huge golden pillar of light produced even directly destroyed the palace's protective array.

However, the explosion occurred not in the atrium of the destination, but in the air directly above the palace.

The entire architecture of the palace was not affected much, except for the central tower, which was destroyed.

And the reason for all this is not those gold-level worshippers of the palace who are fighting to the death, but a middle-aged man with a strong body and a white single robe.

The [Top High Energy Bomb] was grasped by him, and all the power of the cast spread out into the air.

This middle-aged man Li Si is very familiar with, the only legendary powerhouse in the Dillon Kingdom, the legendary berserker [Wrath of the North] Hitty Whitman.

At the last moment of teleporting away, Li Si felt the hostility from this man, although only a trace of it, but it made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Provoking the Kingdom of Dillon may not seem to be anything to this one, and he is not interested in making a move against the professionals under the legend.

But in the danger that the entire Ice Castle Palace might be destroyed by the [Top High Energy Bomb], this big man still made a move.

It's horrible!

Is that the power of a legendary powerhouse?

The coercion and hostility alone made my heart tremble, and I felt that I might go to see death in the next moment!

Lees lay on the ground of his hideout, thinking with palpitations.

I can't die again!

Or can't jump so happily in front of this person's eyes, who knows if this big guy will shoot directly next time.

But fortunately, in the later plan, Li Si was not going to take action in person, but hid in the dark and quietly did something.

Feeling a little strength regained in his body, Li Si sat up, took out the healing potion from the storage ring and drank it.

Now he doesn't even have the magic to use healing magic.

However, he could feel that the earrings made of [Sphinx's Wisdom] were slowly pulling elemental power into his body from his surroundings, slowly healing the wounds on his body.

His body was slowly improving, and he even felt a little rejuvenated, and Li Si had a hunch that when his body fully recovered, he might become stronger.

Wealth and danger are sought!

Li Si sighed and exhaled out of the system panel.

Just as he was out of battle, he heard the sound of the system.

——

[You're out of combat!] ]

[You have completed a blow to the Kingdom of Dillon - Ice Peak City - Ice Castle Palace, which is an unprecedented feat!] ]

[You have gained a special specialty, [Provocateur]!] ]

[Special Specialty [Provocateur]: When provoking an enemy or opponent (including verbal provocation, action provocation, use of provocation skills, etc.), the provocative target's Mental Resistance is slightly reduced, and the caster's movement speed is +30%]

[You have earned a new milestone [Pain in Icepeak City]!] ]

[Milestone [Icepeak City's Painful Fireworks]: The actions of Moriarty, the Death Secret Order, have made Icepeak City, which has not experienced turmoil for decades, taste the pain again, and everyone will never forget the crazy fireworks. National Legend +1]

[Your identity [Death Secret Order - Moriarty] gains a special status, and whenever you appear in Icepeak City as Moriarty, the [Dillon Kingdom - Undying] status is triggered!] ]——

The new milestone got a bit of national legend, which is pretty good.

As for the newly acquired specialty [Provocateur], Li Si found this skill very weird.

plus movement speed?

Is this because you are afraid that you will be killed after provoking, so let yourself run faster?

Besides, as a good young man who is loyal, reliable, honest, trustworthy, and peaceful, how can I be a provocateur?

Lees shook his head, then pulled out a mattress from the storage ring and lay it on the floor casually.

Tonight's operation has drained all of Li Si's energy, just carefully observing all the golden powerhouses present and not letting them see the cover of his external strength and middle strength is enough to test his mental toughness!

That's a double-digit golden powerhouse, but fortunately he was bluffed at first!

Otherwise, if they really go together, Li Si can only choose to run away!

Ice Peak City should be very lively now!

But that's none of my business!

Lees soon fell asleep, and the hideout hidden beneath the ice field returned to darkness and calm.

——

Unlike Li Si, who left, Ice Peak City and Ice Castle Palace at this time were now lively.

Groups of soldiers set off from the barracks and quickly rushed to the key places in Ice Peak City, and the atmosphere was solemn and grim.

Ice Peak City, which was already nervous because of the explosion of the Garza warehouse a few days ago, suddenly entered a wartime state at this time.

At night, the street is sparsely populated with people, and at this time, it is even more invisible to idlers, and between the windows of the houses on both sides of the road, a pair of eyes secretly look out from time to time.

In the Ice Castle Palace, many guards are stepping up patrols, not letting go of any suspicious locations.

After the [Fury of the Northland] carried the [Top High Energy Bomb], the figure disappeared from the scene.

However, all the royal family offerings present were known to the legendary boss who sat in the palace, and it was not surprising that this person appeared.

Everyone present was still a little apprehensive, and the shock left by the black-robed man who claimed to be Moriarty just now was really profound.

Not to mention the strange and unpredictable means of haunting, the grand blue meteor shower and the terrifying golden pillar of light at the end made them full of fear of Moriarty, the initiator.

The severed tower in the center of the palace that had been smoothed out was still reflecting the horror of the golden pillar of light just now.

"Lord Abbas, His Majesty has summoned you."

A court attendant walked up to the dark-faced Abbas and said respectfully.

"Okay."

Abbas was stunned for a moment, then he answered, and followed the attendant towards the depths of the palace.

This time, King Lucar received him not in the study high in the kingdom, but somewhere under the royal palace.

Abbas knocked lightly on the thick door, and when he got permission, he pushed it open and walked inside.

This is directly below the Ice Castle Palace, the core of the magic array's protection, and the solid walls around it also block the prying eyes of outsiders.

Abbas went in and respectfully saluted King Lucar, who was seated on the throne.

At the same time, there were also several core kingdom ministers such as Anna.

Although it is underground, it is also luxuriously decorated, and at first glance it is a safe place that has been prepared for a long time.

"Abbas is here, sit!"

Lucar glanced up and said with a smile.

Abbas nodded respectfully, carefully sitting on the couch at the very end, the sound of his armor clashing.

No way, everyone here is higher than him.

"Abbas, calling you over is just to confirm one thing."

Lucar tapped lightly on the table with his left hand and looked solemnly at Abbas, who was dressed in armor.

"Is that Moriarty the one who destroyed Westcastle?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although Abbas did not want to recall that painful time, he could only nod his head heavily.

"That was the first time I had seen the man, he claimed to be Moriarty of the Secret Order of Death, and every time he appeared, he was wearing a black robe, a middle-aged man with a pale face, but not sure if it was his own face."

"Moriarty of the Secret Order of Death"

Lucar muttered, in a terrible mood.

The last time he got the news of the destruction of Westcastle, he noticed this Moriarty, but at the time he thought that it should be from the counterattack of the Fez Kingdom, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Targeting and attacking the Kingdom of Fez would definitely bring a lot of losses and pain, and he knew all of this.

But I really didn't expect this Moriarty to do this to this extent, and he dared to brazenly attack Ice Peak City and the Ice Castle Palace, which was simply declaring war directly on the Dillon Kingdom.

So now Lucar is a little undecided.

If this Moriarty was really arranged by the Fez Kingdom, it should not be so stimulating and provoking the Dillon Kingdom.

Now most of the power of the Fez Kingdom is poured into the war with the Berdych Kingdom, and there is no more power left to open up the battlefield in the north.

If the king of the Fez Kingdom still had his senses, even if he knew that he was preparing to invade, he would only destroy the two castles in the Luoxue Mountains at most.

And this Moriarty, and his self-proclaimed Death Order, behaved like a madman, completely indifferent to any consequences, and worshipped chaos and blood like the Cult of the Evil Gods.

"Is there such an organization in the Death Secret Order?"

Not just Abbas, but all the ministers present shook their heads.

Even though they were basically noble families with a long history of the kingdom, they had never heard of this organization.

"From the name, it sounds like an organization that believes in the gods of death, but the current death god system has always been very low-key, and I have never heard of an organization related to the Death Esoteric Society."

The Minister of War, Armand Cardin, was a powerful and domineering old man, with gray hair and the confidence and domineering that exuded from his body were eye-catching.

"That's right."

Although Lucar knew something about those supernatural forces, most of them were about the Orthodox Church on the one hand, and he didn't know much about other supernatural organizations.

"Abbas, how strong is that Moriarty?"

Lucar thought for a moment and continued to ask Abbas, then added.

"Master Whitman has already told me that the last golden pillar of light is not Moriarty's own strength, but the effect of a powerful magic prop."

Hearing this, Abbas also breathed a sigh of relief, if that terrifying golden light was also Moriarty's means, he really didn't have the courage to continue to face Moriarty.

"He should have a strong gold-level mage, although his aura looks strange."

"But his strength is beyond doubt, and there should be a means to explode, otherwise I can't think of the dozens of blue meteors that are his own strength."

Abbas said seriously, but the more he did, the more he felt that Moriarty was strange.

"Your Majesty, when I was at Westcastle, Moriarty finally told me that I would see you again in Icepeak City, I didn't care about it at the time, and now I think that he may have planned all this a long time ago."

"Is that so?"

Lucar's face was a little gloomy, these facts proved that this Death Esoteric Order was really directly aimed at provoking the Kingdom of Dillon.

Could it be that this is the plan of the Fez Kingdom, which involves his own energy and delays the invasion of them as much as possible.

There are too many possibilities, which gives Lucar a bit of a headache.

This time the matter is so serious that it may even affect the prestige of the kingdom.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Lucar looked at the rest of the room.

Anna was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"Anyway, that Moriarty is doing all this for the sake of causing chaos in Icepeak City."

"I don't know if the explosion at the West warehouse two days ago has something to do with them, but I think it should be more noticed."

"Especially if there is anything to do with the Death Secret Order and Duke Ward."

Duke Ward!

Lucar suddenly found himself ignoring this possibility, which is very likely!

If that's the case, the Death Secret Order's attack on Westcastle, Icepeak City, and Icecastle Palace are all meant to help Lord Ward relieve his stress!

Damn the Death Order!

Damn Duke Ward!

Duke Ward didn't know that a cauldron was on his head again.
