Chapter 46 The Princess's Entrustment

Not long after Xiao Longnv left, someone came to the door again.

Kevin Twain, one of Princess Teresia's attendants, was the paladin who escorted him back to his territory, a sunny man with a similar temperament to Anthos.

But at this moment, the sunny man seemed quite melancholy: "His Royal Highness entered the prison of the court. It was requested by Her Highness herself, saying that she would atone for the victims of Conrad City."

Still can't get over it in conscience?
Li Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to see the princess just go down the path of a fool.

Of course, Tang En didn't just come to report this, he came for another matter.

"Most of the survivors in Conrad City are children. Except for those who have relatives to take refuge in, the rest of the kingdom and the court need to arrange a way out."

"The children under the age of six have been adopted by the various churches of the Holy Court, and there are more than 300 slightly older ones left. The Kingdom and the Holy Court originally planned to let nobles from remote areas adopt them, and the princess wanted to give these children to Your Excellency the Viscount. "

Li Qi was stunned for a while before he understood the princess' intention.

Those over six years old can already remember things.The disaster in Conrad City and the loss of their loved ones will undoubtedly leave deep scars in their hearts.

The princess rescued them, but it was the murderer who slaughtered their relatives.Whether from the point of view of the princess, or the kingdom and the court, these children are future troubles and cannot be adopted with the younger, more malleable children.

But the princess has a guilty conscience, and even if she can't take them in, she doesn't want to throw them to other nobles.Even if those aristocrats can't "figure out what they want" and think of ways to toss them to death, their life will not be easy.

Li Qi became the only choice for the princess. After all, for the princess, he was the only one who understood her, at least the only one who dared to show his understanding.

What a heart-warming trust...

Li Qi's heart is heavy. With more than 300 children, it is equivalent to building another collective farm, and the payback period is longer. How many gold bushes will it cost?
Then he wanted to slap himself, more than 300 children who had planted the seeds of rebellion in their hearts!This is an incomparably heavy gift!
Tang En stared at Li Qi's face, not letting go of every change in his expression: "Your Highness also knows that this is a heavy burden for Your Excellency the Viscount. But she said in person that in this matter, you He's the only one who can help."

At this time, Li Qi just wanted to understand, his expression turned joyful, and he quickly continued: "It is a great honor for me to be trusted by His Highness! Please tell Your Highness, I will definitely take good care of these children for her..."

He clenched his fists and said more directly: "I must make them understand His Highness' painstaking efforts, and I want them to appreciate His Highness's kindness!"

"Your Highness is right. The Viscount understands His Highness's intentions." Tang En let out a sigh of relief and said happily, "Your Highness will not let the Viscount spend money on his own. She knows that you are also very nervous. debt, and she paid ten gold bushels each for the upbringing of these children."

It is a one-stop service, Her Royal Highness is really a good person!

The sound of clattering gold coins rolled in Li Qi's heart, making him happy and encouraged.

How can I spend so much money raising a child, and put it all in the farm to work for me!Start from the most basic "labor is the most glorious"!There are so many places to spend money now.

"Your Majesty the Viscount is indeed a fellow of His Highness. If there is any change in the future situation of the Kingdom, personally, I sincerely hope that Your Majesty the Viscount can..."

Tang En, who was in a good mood, slipped his tongue. He quickly woke up, smiled apologetically, and then changed the topic to the details of placing the children.

Did a group of people gather around the princess?
Sending Tang En away, Li Qi thought, if he had to stand in line, Princess Theresia might be a good choice.

However, the ruling paladin Sylvie was not someone who could coexist peacefully. The scene where she beckoned her subordinates to kill the three girls was still churning in Li Qi's mind.

Back in the study, the daily routine of copying books was temporarily put aside, and Li Qi planned to wait until he received the Xinyu book before starting.

Finally, I can spare some time to sort out the collective farm affairs.

Sebadian and the church apprentices have only made the farm work so far, and more meticulous work is needed to make the farm play a role in condensing people's hearts.

………………

As night fell, Li Qi cast a divine light spell and wrote at his desk.

The benefit of extraordinary power is here, not relying on the industrial system, but relying on its own strength, it can solve various needs.The divine light technique doesn't consume much divine power, but the holy light it emits is enough to make the study as bright as day, at least for an hour.

As he was writing, Li Qi suddenly felt something was wrong, and the shadows in the room seemed to have changed.

When he raised his head, a figure suddenly appeared, wearing a cloak, his face hidden in the hood, emitting a faint gray smoke all over his body.

The hairs on Li Qi's body stood on end. Damn it, both Tarrence and Tina went out to collect information, and there was no one guarding him!

As for Sardar, that guy should be drinking in the lobby downstairs, and he can't count on his bodyguards.

The terrible thing is that Li Qi himself didn't care too much, he didn't even wear that full-resistant armor!
With a circle of silver and white holy light circulating around his body, Li Qi stood up, gathered all his strength, and prepared to... shout for help at the top of his voice.

Then... give this uninvited guest a mind thorn with the greatest output.

The other party said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, Your Excellency, I am Sir Familia, you should remember."

Princess Catherine's deputy! ?Li Qi's prepared action slowed down.

Familia said respectfully, "I don't have the guts to attack a pope who has supreme divine favor."

It really was him!He really knew his identity!

"Are you here on behalf of the king? When did His Majesty the King become so sneaky, and even communicate with his subjects, he had to hide from others, and the messenger kept his head and tail shrunk, not daring to show his true colors?"

Li Qi didn't relax his vigilance, and felt a big chill in his heart.

The king already knew his hole cards, and he would send someone here, probably for a showdown.

"Join me or die!"

He wanted to get the expression on the king's face when he said this.

"Your Excellency, the Viscount, misunderstood us. Of course, this is an ulterior secret of the royal family. As for my face, I hope you will not be frightened..."

Familia unfolded her cloak and took off her hood.Under the bright holy light, his figure and face can be seen at a glance.

Not him, but her.

With a slender figure, a slender waist, and a bulging chest, she is not inferior to the Countess.

But the face on the neck is really terrifying.After seeing his face clearly, Li Qi almost cried out.

The lips and nostrils were crooked, and countless scars where the skin and flesh rolled up after being burned or scratched, destroyed the supposedly beautiful face like a devil.

Those hazel eyes stared at Li Qi's expression, from horror to calm, there was no fluctuation.

She put on the hood again, and said in a hoarse voice like a man's: "It seems that this will make the Viscount more comfortable."

Uh... I'm more comfortable with you completely gone.

Familia continued: "I am here on behalf of Princess Catherine. Her Royal Highness and His Majesty the King are not one."

The rumors were indeed unreliable, and Li Qi took a chance and asked: "Then, have you told His Majesty the king what happened?"

"We are only responsible for seizing the artifacts. Other things, including excavating the ruins, have nothing to do with us. We didn't know that the matter in Conrad City would develop to that point."

The implication of Familia's words is very clear: "In a sense, His Majesty the King is just cooperating with us. What to report to the King is up to us."

This is a threat...

"So, what can I do for Her Royal Highness?"

Li Qi pretended to be cowardly, saying in his heart that as long as he didn't become a son-in-law, other things would be easy to talk about.

"Just like Your Excellency the Viscount, there is a god behind Her Highness the Princess, but of course the relationship is not as close as the Viscount and Lady Scarlet."

Familia's hoarse voice is far from the "seductive low magnetism", which sounds rather uncomfortable, much like Princess Catherine's situation.

"What to do specifically, now is not the time to talk about it. I am here to meet with His Excellency the Viscount and establish the necessary contact."

The experience in Sue Death Temple flashed through Li Qi's mind. He had the bottom line in his heart and said in a compassionate tone: "How is the situation of Princess Catherine? What is Ms. Ye's plan for her? If the princess wants to get rid of The situation of the witch, maybe I can try it. When I was in the underground temple, my divine power should have affected her."

"you……"

It was Familia's turn to be surprised. She smiled wryly and said, "That's right, that old fellow Van der talked too much, and Her Royal Highness also showed her attitude towards you too directly."

She said seriously: "Since you know that it is related to Ms. Ye, Your Excellency, are you sure you really want to get involved?"

The feng shui took turns, and Li Qi had a headache. He wanted to roll as far as he could in Ms. Ye's muddy water.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, what we are doing has nothing to do with you or your church. The situation of Her Royal Highness has not yet reached the point where it must be dealt with."

"The viscount doesn't have to worry that Ms. Ye will attack you and your church. The incident in the kingdom is just a small prelude. Finn is facing a big change. The more characters on the stage, the happier the lady will be."

Li Qi nodded, this was indeed in line with Ms. Ye's temperament.

As for Fein's big change, although the power is extremely weak, in essence, he is also one of the chess players hiding in the dark.

He asked suspiciously: "So, you are here this time, really just to say hello?"

"Yes, beyond that, there is hope for some consensus."

"For example... Her Royal Highness is a witch, and this kind of thing cannot be publicized. Otherwise, the fact that I am the Pope of Lady Scarlet will be made public?"

"Your Excellency is very smart, and this is also necessary."

"But how can I compare with His Highness with my weight. And the fact that I am the Pope is announced, at least on the surface, it will not cause too much adverse consequences. Should I add some weight?"

"Licky Player, why do I smell a businessman on you?"

"The family business is dying, and the livelihood is forced."

The two exchanged another confrontation in just a few words, and this time it was Familia who was defeated.

"Your Excellency is very smart..."

Familia repeated what she said just now, but her tone was different: "We also have some expectations for Your Excellency. Maybe we will get together in the future. Be careful and don't hold it back."

Her figure swayed, and she didn't seem to make any movements, but there were three golden tickets on Li Qi's tattered desk.

Three thousand gold bushels!
Adding the four thousand gold bushes given by Princess Teresia, and the advance payment of the holy water, Li Qi suddenly became a millionaire!
This can be regarded as another bonus of desperately trying to sue the death temple...

Familia added: "When the time is right, I will explain the relevant matters to you in detail. Before that, I hope you will try not to make any more publicity."

The next words were serious and serious: "The kingdom is about to usher in greater turmoil, and now is not a good time for the Viscount to take the stage."

"This is my wish too," Li Qi said sincerely, he is an otaku in essence, if possible, he doesn't want to take risks at all.Now that the funds are abundant, I just bury my head in farming.

"So farewell..."

Familia turned around, and the cloak was about to disappear.

Li Qi suddenly thought of a very important thing: "Wait! Did I know Princess Catherine very well before?"

Familia's figure froze in the air, but a voice came from outside the window: "You can ask her yourself when the time comes."
