Chapter 361: Your Generous Majesty the King
Brilliant City, the Royal Palace of Fes.
??Li Si sat leisurely in the dedicated reception room, slowly enjoying the exquisite snacks and coffee prepared by the palace maid.
Teacher Stephens likes sweeter cookie desserts, while Li Si also likes soft and sweet cakes.
??Looking at the white skin exposed under the skirts of the maids casually, Li Si looked at it critically and then shook his head.
Perhaps it’s because he has spent too much time with Risa recently, and Li Si has found that he has become more and more restless recently.
"Hey!"
?Li Si laughed at himself, this was not a good place to think about these things.
The palace is still the same as before, luxurious and grand, but it is not like the extravagant golden decorations like the Berdych Palace. Whether it is the polite servants or the decorations mainly in dark colors, it gives people a calm atmosphere. feeling.
This is the difference between the Kingdom of Berdych and the Kingdom of Fes.
?Lees also admitted that King Morton was much stronger than King John Berdych.
So even though there was the matter of Prince Yat''an, Li Si still had a certain respect for this man in his heart.
What''s more, Li Si''s request to see His Majesty King Morton this time was strictly speaking because Li Si had something to ask for.
?Li Si didn''t wait long before he heard the sound of the door being pushed open from the outside.
?Standing up, Li Si saw Morton Faith''s slightly bowed body, although his face still looked resolute, with a gentle smile.
??But Li Si felt that His Majesty was a little older than the last time they met.
??And following King Morton was the Duke of Forsythe Hard.
??Li Si put his right hand on his chest and made a standard noble salute to the king.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Your Majesty Morton.”
?King Morton waved his hand and said kindly:
“I didn’t expect that our outstanding Marquis Kane has returned to Bright Light City.”
?King Morton walked to the sofa in the center and sat down, with a smile on his face:
“Bevis has already told me what you did in the Berdych Kingdom. I didn’t expect our Lisi to be so outstanding!”
“The Marquis of Kane has indeed done many things beyond our imagination and has made great contributions to the kingdom.”
Duke Harder said meticulously, with the most serious expression present.
“This is just what I should do.”
?Li Si also said with a smile, slightly modestly.
“Haha, this is no small matter.”
?King Morton patted the armrest of the sofa gently and said with a smile.
“Whether it’s the Kingdom of Dillon or the Kingdom of Berdych, everything you do, Li Si, amazes me.”
“As expected of your Excellency [Flame of Judgment], I am becoming more and more interested in your future.”
“I hope you can become as powerful a person as your teacher!”
?King Morton praised Li Si without any concealment, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
In fact, King Morton was indeed very happy.
He had thought many times before declaring and launching war against the Berdych Kingdom.
??Whether he successfully captured the Lower Berdych Kingdom, or his offensive was frustrated, or he faced a situation where the Berdych Kingdom and the Dillon Kingdom were attacking from both sides, he had thought about how to deal with it.
No matter how the future develops, he must have measures to deal with it and be prepared to face failure.
There is no other way, this is the responsibility that he carries on his shoulders. He wants to hand over a better Kingdom of Fes to Taiya''s hands.
At the same time, he also wants to resolve all domestic conflicts and crises as much as possible while he is still healthy.
?Although it seems a bit wishful thinking, this is what the old king really thought.
?But later, Morton Face found that many of the preparations he had made were in vain, and things developed beyond his expectations.
??Whether it was Earl Sauron who had secretly arranged to be in the north of the kingdom long in advance, or the reserve army that was going to be sent to the Kingdom of Berdych, they were not used in the end.
The Kingdom of Dillon is too busy to take care of itself. The [Devil''s Gate] in Ice Peak City has almost exhausted most of the kingdom''s power. Now they can only curl up and lick their wounds and slowly regain their strength.
??The Kingdom of Berdych, as the royal capital has fallen at this time, does not have much single-resistance capability at all.
Even their king has been killed by his own side.
The person who did these things was the handsome young man sitting in front of him and smiling.
?King Morton glanced at Li Si, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
To be honest, King Morton had never thought of such a beautiful situation now, and it really surprised him.
“You just came back not long ago, Li Si.”
? King Morton said with a smile, sipping the black tea slightly.
“I just came back two days ago and went to visit the teacher first.”
??Li Si nodded and took out an exquisite wooden box from the storage ring.
“This is the gift I brought to Your Majesty.”
"oh?"
? King Morton looked at the wooden box in Li Si''s hand curiously, which was about the size of a human head.
“Our Marquis of Kane, won’t he bring over King Berdych’s head?”
?Morton sat up slightly and teased Li Si with a smile.
He naturally knew that King John of Berdych was killed by the young man in front of him.
“Of course not.”
??Li Si said with a smile and gently opened the lid of the wooden box.
?Several people present noticed that the box was made of dark red woolen padding, and placed on top of it was a pure gold shining crown.
This crown is made of pure gold, with a hollow center, surrounded by filigree gold threads and enamel-outlined decorations. It is dotted with scattered diamonds, guarding the center and three small ones on the sides like stars. The pure golden gem emits a brilliant six-pointed star in the sunlight.
?Morton gently stroked the crown placed in front of him, already having some expectations in his mind.
Phochis glanced at His Majesty the King and asked Li Si:
“Is this true?”
"It is King Berdych''s crown. I got this crown from the king and brought it back to present to His Majesty King Morton."
“Okay, good cough cough!”
?King Morton smiled happily several times, and then coughed violently several times.
Waving his hand, he didn''t pay attention to the look on his face that Fuchs wanted to persuade.
For Morton, who is the king of Fes, it does not matter how precious the material used in a crown is. He has the wealth of a kingdom and does not care about this.
?But the crown in front of me is the crown of King Berdych, which in some way represents the authority of King Berdych.
Now he holds it in his hands, which is almost equivalent to possessing the sovereignty of the Berdych Kingdom.
?Although this is only conceptual and not directly equivalent, it also made King Morton quite happy.
“Naturally, although I also brought King Berdych’s body back, I think this is the only one suitable for you.”
?As he said this, Li Si was observing the state of King Morton. Why did he feel that the old king was getting weaker and weaker?
? King Morton looked at Li Si, smiled and said casually:
“Xiao Li Si, you really gave me a surprise!”
?Li Si smiled, this was something that came easily to him.
“Haha, you have done so much, I don’t even know what reward I can give you!”
?King Morton looked at Li Si and said with some profound meaning:
“Why don’t you tell Li Si what do you want?” Li Si was silent for a moment and said naturally:
“Your Majesty the King, I do have something I want, and I hope you can reward me.”
"oh?"
? King Morton had a smile in his eyes and motioned for Li Si to continue.
"When I came back this time, I passed by the port of Dan''erluo in the Kingdom of Berdych. I would like to ask you to grant it to me as a territory."
"Um?"
? King Morton seemed a little surprised that Li Si would make this request.
He naturally knows the Port of Dan Erluo. It is the most prosperous port city in the Berdych Kingdom and the largest and most important city besides Huangshi City.
For ordinary nobles, that is indeed a piece of fat.
But in comparison, he thought.
Upon seeing this, Fuxis quickly looked at Li Si and said:
“Why did our Marquis Kane take a fancy to that territory? Although it is indeed a pretty good place, Li Si, you might get more if you stay in Bright Light City.”
?Phochis There is simply no hidden meaning in his words. He was afraid that Lisi wouldn''t understand what they were talking about, so he had to express it clearly.
??Li Si naturally knew what Fuxis was referring to, but he would not give up Port Danerluo.
To be honest, it’s tempting to think about the future of Bright City, but it’s a bit too comfortable.
??Moreover, Danerluo Port is related to his future layout.
??Whether it is the Azera Floating City or the [Phillips Crystal] that will fall in the future, it is extremely important to Li Si.
??If you stay in Bright City all the time, you may still be able to break through and become a legendary powerhouse in the future, but that''s all.
??For the Kingdom of Fes, a legendary mage is powerful enough, but for Li Si, who knows that the world of Gaia will fall into chaos in the future, he is naturally not satisfied with an ordinary legendary arcanist.
He wants to become a strong man at the top like Teacher [Flame of Judgment], or even stronger!
Seemingly noticing the firmness in Li Si''s eyes, King Morton, who had originally planned to persuade, did not refuse.
??Although in his mind, Li Si is the person who will accompany and assist Taiya in the future.
“For all your merits, Lis, the port of Darro is nothing to you.”
?King Morton was silent for a moment, and then said:
"Well, I will upgrade your title to Duke, and as for the territory, it will be the Loo Peninsula including the port of Dan''erluo!"
Um? !
Li Si, who has lived on the Pearl Sea for a long time, naturally knows about the Loou Peninsula. It is a piece of land extending into the sea to the south of the Berdych Kingdom. It echoes the Taizé Peninsula in the north of the mainland. The sea area between and outside the two peninsulas is the Pearl Sea. .
The Port of Dan''erluo is located on the Lo''ou Peninsula, closer to the mainland of Fanor.
This shows that the Looe Peninsula is vast, almost equivalent to the land of two and a half dukes.
What''s more, compared with the desolate Taizé Peninsula, the land on the Loeo Peninsula is quite fertile and is one of the richest areas in the Berdych Kingdom.
??If the entire Luo Peninsula is really canonized to Li Si, it will be almost equivalent to a new principality.
??There has never been a duke in the Kingdom of Fes whose territory has been so huge!
?Even Li Si didn’t expect King Morton to be so generous!
To King Morton, this was nothing.
After all, Li Si''s achievements are indeed exaggerated. Compared with leading the decisive battle of the Berdych Kingdom and winning the victory, what is more important is that he almost subdued the Dillon Kingdom.
? King Morton also knew that after that, the legendary mage Stephens and the legendary assassin both went to the Kingdom of Dilon.
?This allowed the Kingdom of Fes to eliminate the biggest hidden danger in the war against the Kingdom of Berdych, and received almost no influence from external kingdoms.
?After he launched a war against the Berdych Kingdom, more and more human kingdoms began to prepare for action.
?According to the news that King Morton received, many kings had already clashed with their guns on their respective borders, and they almost no longer concealed their greedy thoughts.
?King Morton is keenly aware that he seems to have opened a Pandora''s box, and the future is increasingly out of his control.
But what is certain is that the future war sweeping the entire continent is not far away.
??The more strength the Kingdom of Fes can retain at this time, the more sure it will be of protecting itself in the future.
Maybe even take the opportunity to take it a step further!
So, King Morton needed to unite all possible forces.
The [Flame of Judgment] behind Li Si and the legendary assassin Joyce are extremely important existences.
?Even, with the talent shown by Li Si now, it is very likely that he will also be a legendary arcanist in the future.
?Bevis has already told him that Li Si has successfully been promoted to gold and defeated Archmage Wendel, the leader of the Berdych Royal Mage Group head-on!
? And Li Si is not yet twenty years old, and his talent is even more exaggerated than that of little Taiya.
What''s more, judging from the look of little Taiya, Li Si is very likely to become the prince chosen by Taiya in the future.
In this case, why are we so clearly separated when we are all members of the same family?
??Li Si didn''t expect that King Morton had thought so much, and even if he knew, he wouldn''t care.
After all, King Morton stood at the starting point of the Fes Kingdom, and everything he did was to win over him, which did no harm to him at all.
The sugar-coated bombs are filled with candy hearts!
“Li Si, you don’t have many knights and soldiers, do you?”
?King Morton looked at Li Si and asked.
"Yes."
Li Si nodded. Although after becoming a Marquis, the number of knights and guard teams he could form increased significantly, he did not take it to heart when he went out for training. Naturally, there was no progress. He was still the Golden Warrior Welf. With a few noobs.
?It is precisely because of this that he recruited the two golden powerhouses from Dan''erluo Port as his team.
"At that time, I will ask Bivis to transfer some soldiers from the Golden Lion Knights to you."
“After all, the territory is too big and it’s troublesome to have no available subordinates.”
?King Morton thought for a moment and said decisively.
Holy shit!
Father-in-law!
?Li Si did not expect King Morton to be so willing.
The Knights of the Golden Lion are the most elite and powerful corps in the kingdom, and they are also the absolute confidant of the old king.
This is an army composed entirely of extraordinary professionals!
For a moment, Li Si seemed to see kindness on the face of King Morton, and almost bowed his head and bowed!
??Having such a god-like teammate is infinitely better than that King Berdych!
?Li Si controlled his emotions and said with a surprised expression:
“Thank you for your generosity, your mind is admirable.”
?Phoses on the side opened his mouth, but in the end he didn''t say anything to dissuade him.
He could see that the king had made up his mind, and he also vaguely guessed why the king did what he did.
Very good, it was worth the effort to tie Li Si to the chariot of Fes Kingdom.
“In a few days, let’s prepare for the canonization ceremony of our little Li Si!”
“I’ll leave it to you, Vosys!”
Phochis immediately bowed in response.
“Little Lis, take a good rest for a few days. Soon the youngest Duke will appear in our Kingdom of Fes!”
? King Morton looked at Li Si and said with a smile, and then he felt a little regretful:
“It’s a pity that little Taiya is not here. She and Aiwen went out for training. Otherwise, she would be very happy to know about your situation.”
??Li Si noticed King Morton''s hint. He had just received huge benefits and immediately expressed his stance and said:
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty!”
“I will definitely get along well with Princess Ataya. It’s been a long time since we last met, and I miss her a little!”
Li Si said with confidence, does this count as being ordered to eat soft rice?
