I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic

Chapter 138 Confrontation at the Palace Party (4k)

The next day, the Kane family mansion.

After getting the signal from the boss, Li Si originally planned to go find Marion today, but something unexpected happened.

The palace sent an invitation, inviting Viscount Kane to attend the Holy Festival celebration party held in the Kingdom Banquet Hall tonight.

This is a party held in the name of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Fes before the Holy Festival every year. The purpose is to receive the real nobles from all over the country who come to Bright Light City to participate in the Holy Festival celebration.

Yes, during the Kingdom's Saint Festival celebrations, the Kingdom generally requires all court nobles in Bright Light City to participate, but if the lords and nobles from all over the country want to participate, the Kingdom is also quite supportive.

After all, being willing to leave the territory and come to Bright Light City to participate in the celebration undoubtedly shows loyalty to the Kingdom and His Majesty the King. The Kingdom is also willing to publicize and encourage this behavior of lords from various places, demonstrating that the Kingdom's control over various parts of the country is still strong.

Now that the Holy Festival is approaching, it is not surprising that the kingdom holds a party.

There are several large-scale parties held in these kingdoms every year, and Li Si, as the court viscount, will also receive invitations.

In the past, Li Si, his predecessor, rarely participated. After all, in the eyes of others, the strength of the Kane family was just that. In fact, it didn't matter whether he came to participate or not.

However, in the situation where those little nobles who are "similar" to the Kane family are working hard to gain camp, it seems that the Kane family is very unsociable.

In fact, Li Si originally wanted to refuse. He didn't want to participate in these meaningless parties. Wouldn't it be nice to hold his own parties when he had enough strength.

However, this year's invitation is a little different. Under the standard invitation, there is also the handwriting of Duke Harder, asking him to attend the party at the palace. His Majesty the King wants to see this young talent of his again.

Now Li Si had no choice but to refuse. To be honest, His Majesty the King was very kind to him. He had just received a precious trial card from him not long ago. It was inappropriate to refuse his first invitation to a banquet. .

After thinking about it, Li Si packed up and prepared to attend the party.

I originally wanted to drag Risa along, but when she heard that she was going to a place with so many people and that she had to take off her cloak and change into an evening dress, she blushed and refused to go no matter how much I tried to persuade her.

Li Si had no choice but to drag Moura along, and asked the current head of the White Pigeon Chamber of Commerce to introduce the chamber's enchanted products to the nobles in Bright Light City.

By the way, Master Fahr and Bernie's research is nearing completion, and it would have taken longer as the two expected.

However, Fahr once mentioned this issue when asking Fran for advice. The legendary mage thought about it a little and helped optimize it, which greatly saved time and made the burning of combined magic patterns much less difficult.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a legendary mage!
The first enchanted product to be developed is the magic air conditioner. Now Master Fahr and Bernie are still studying the addition of cleaning techniques and other functions. It is expected to take a short period of time to complete, but this does not prevent Mora from advertising first. reputation.

Li Si originally wanted to change the name, but after thinking about it, he also had the ability to adjust the air, so he decided to call it the abbreviation of Magic Air Conditioner.

In the evening, the palace banquet hall.

There were already many minor nobles in the banquet hall who had arrived long in advance. They were looking around to see if there was anyone worth talking to.

As for the well-dressed aristocratic ladies, they did not have such complicated thoughts, and their eyes wandered among the men present.

Every banquet held in the palace is a good opportunity for them to find their sweetheart.

But now, many of their eyes fell on Li Si and Maura.

Li Si and Maura were both wearing black men's attire tonight. Their handsome and high-spirited appearance made these noble ladies blush slightly. They murmured in private and didn't know what they were talking about, but they didn't dare to take the initiative to come forward.

"You are very welcome!"

Stepping on the soft crimson carpet, Maura poked Li Si with her arm and said with a low smile.

As the second young master of the Golden Vine Flower Merchant Guild, Maura is naturally not bad at all. He looks like a handsome pretty boy. Otherwise, how could he have lived such a ridiculous life before?
As for Li Si, he has a handsome appearance and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. What is even more rare is his majestic aura. In the eyes of those noble ladies, he seems to stand out from the crowd, and they even dare not take the initiative to talk to him.

Li Si couldn't help it. Ever since he switched to arcanist and his strength had been continuously improving, he naturally had such an aura.

Unless Li Si uses some skills such as [Aura Masking] and [Transformation], Li Si doesn't want to bother coming to a banquet.

Besides, that's fine. Li Si is not interested in these flamboyant people.

"I dare say that if you take the initiative to pull anyone away tonight, they will definitely not refuse. Haven't you seen the eyes of those young ladies who usually think highly of themselves? They look straight at you?"

Maura smiled and joked that he also found that his best friend's aura was getting stronger and stronger recently.

"Go and do your thing, otherwise why would I bring you here!"

Li Si glanced at Maura angrily. Baron Karl usually brought his heir Jon Karl over on such occasions, and Maura didn't even have the chance to attend.

But it’s no problem for Li Si to bring Maura here this time, and it’s also a good opportunity for Maura to expand her network.

"Okay, if the big boss asks, I'll go right away."

With a smile, Maura took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand and walked towards the group of people talking not far away.

"Go ahead and see how handsome he is."

"I'm already engaged, why don't you go? I see your face is red. Are you shy, little girl?"

"Oh, sister Mitna, please stop teasing me and ask me first!"

"Who does this person belong to? Why don't I remember him at all?"

"The person standing with him just now must be the second son of the Karl family. Could it be that one."

"Who is it? Stop playing riddles!"

"The one from the Kane family, the head of the family who rarely attends banquets."

"I seem to have an impression. Whose family...?"

"Freeze said!"

The companion quickly stopped the man from continuing and warned:
"Don't you know that he was accepted as a disciple by His Excellency [Flame of Judgment]? You are still talking nonsense here."

"Is this happening? Thank you very much!"

The man nodded with lingering fear. He indeed said the wrong thing and no one else could have heard him.

He turned around and looked around carefully, and found that Li Si was looking at him with a wine glass in his hand. He felt a chill in his heart, and quickly lowered his head and pulled his companion away from here in a hurry.

Li Si looked away helplessly. His agility attribute had improved. In addition to his movement speed and shooting speed, his perception seemed to be much sharper.

He could clearly hear the exchanges between these people around him just now.

Just when Li Si was thinking about changing places to kill time before the king arrived.

Suddenly, the conversation around him became more intense, and a blond man with a straight face walked towards Li Si.

The second prince of the Kingdom of Fes, Atian Fes!
Is this for me?

Li Si looked at the second prince walking towards him with some curiosity. This was the first time he came into contact with this prince after his rebirth.

"His Excellency, Viscount Lis Kane?"

Yat'an stopped in front of Li Si, and a smile appeared on his usually serious face.

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Yat'an." Li Si said, but he didn't even make a salute and looked directly into Yat'an's eyes.

Artian didn't pay attention to Li Si's somewhat rude behavior, or in other words, the meaning of this situation made the haze in his heart even more intense.

"This is the first time I have met Mr. Li Si. He is indeed a talented person who was accepted as a disciple by Mr. [Flame of Judgment]. He is truly extraordinary."

Yate'an praised, even though he was the second prince, he was still in his 30s. There was nothing wrong with praising Li Si in this tone.

"Thanks to the teacher's love, I can have this opportunity to study with him."

Li Si replied calmly, he would like to know what kind of medicine is sold in Yat'an Gourd.

The nobles not far away were shocked when they heard that the second prince told the public that Kane had been accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage, and that Li Si directly admitted it.

It was all rumors before, but now it has been confirmed by the person involved, so there will be no mistakes now.

The Kane family is about to soar into the sky!
Everyone cast their envious eyes on Li Si, and some even started to look at their daughter with their thoughts changing.

Neither Yat'an nor Li Si cared about the reactions of the people around them. Yat'an continued:

"It's all because Mr. Li Si is excellent enough, and Mr. Stephens has a very critical eye."

"Ah."

Li Si responded directly and had no other response.

Li Si's reaction almost made Yate unable to calm down. He took a deep breath and said:

"I wonder if I will have the opportunity to invite you to have a private gathering after the banquet."

"Sorry, I have something to do later."

After refusing bluntly without giving any face, Li Si's eyes showed a trace of amusement. He probably guessed what the second prince wanted to do.

Want to make peace?
Li Si can only say that Yat'an is overthinking, and he is not a kind person who can forget his grudges with a smile.

I'm sorry. Why did you go there earlier?
Atian couldn't help but swallow the rest of his words. Li Si's bad attitude seemed to indicate something.

It stands to reason that even if Li Si has been accepted as a disciple by the legendary mage, he would not treat the prince of a kingdom with this attitude. After all, he is not a legendary mage yet!

It seems that Li Si already knew something, from Camus?

Before he had time to think about it, Yat'an already knew that he was in trouble.

If it was only known that he secretly tested the probe against him, it would be very difficult if Li Si knew more about his plan.

The chance to fundamentally seal her mouth was gone. Yat'an took a deep breath, tried his last effort, and solemnly said:
"I don't know if there was any misunderstanding between me and you, Li Si, but I promise that this was not my intention."

"If possible, I am willing to pay a certain price in exchange for your understanding?"

Li Si was a little bored. If that was the case, there was really no need to continue the conversation.

Although Li Si did not intend to continue the conversation at first, he shook his head and said:

"No misunderstanding, I have admired His Highness the Second Prince for a long time."

Just when the second prince was about to say something, Duke Hader came over.

Fuxis did not give Yater a good look and said directly to Li Si:

"Viscount Kane, let's go, His Majesty is already waiting for you."

Seeing Duke Harder, the leader of the palace nobles, the slightly noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, staring closely at Li Si and Atian.

They also seemed to sense that something was wrong in the atmosphere. The upstart Viscount Kane seemed to be at odds with the second prince?
Li Si nodded and saluted Duke Hader, and followed Duke Harder to leave.

Before leaving, Li Si seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to Yat'an and said:

"Goodbye, Your Highness Yat'an, I wish you all your wishes will come true."

Yate'an looked at Li Si's retreating figure, his expression finally no longer as calm as before. Li Si's half-smiling face and meaningful words gave him an ominous premonition.

Shaking his head, Yat'an forced this thought down, turned around and started talking with the nobles around him with a smile.

The matter has come to this, there is no point in talking anymore, all plans have been arranged, and he has no chance to go back on his words.

Yat'an also calmed down. Now that he had made that decision, he was naturally aware of any consequences.

Li Si put Yat in his heart and followed Duke Hader to the reception room on the side of the banquet hall. The king, dressed in luxurious clothes, was already sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Li Si is here, sit down!"

Morton saw the two people walking in and said with a smile.

After Li Si saluted respectfully, he sat on the sofa nearby.

"I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Fran, congratulations!"

King Morton's tone was obviously much gentler than the last time he saw Li Si, and he was as cordial as Li Si's elder.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have been studying with the teacher during this period."

Li Si said politely, it seems that the kingdom does not know that Teacher Stephens has also accepted Risa as a disciple.

But yes, Risa has left the academy for a long time, and the ID card should have been sealed.

The more Morton saw Li Si, the more satisfied he became. Being accepted as a disciple by [Flame of Judgment], he would have the opportunity to break through and become a legend in the future. Such a talented kingdom must win over.

"Does our little Li Si have a sweetheart?"

Duke Harder suddenly asked from the side. Morton smiled and did not stop Vosys from asking.

Ok?
Li Si looked up at the two of them, what do you want to do?
"not yet."

Vosys glanced at Morton and then said:

"Li Si, you are almost 20 years old and should be starting a family."

"As the head of the palace noble family, do you need me to introduce you to Li Si?"

Hey, the map of Yan State is so short?
Li Si was a little surprised. He thought that the kingdom would do something to win him over, but he didn't expect that this was the idea.

Just when Li Si was thinking about how to refuse, Morton spoke.

"No need to be so tactful, Vosyce."

"Little Li Si, what do you think of my daughter Taiya?"
