Chapter 155: Getting outrageous
"I'm sorry, Master Li Ke, I haven't entertained you properly yet, and I need you to take action."
When Li Ke entered the magnificent hall, a young man named Mordred came over. Although his face was full of anxiety, Li Ke did not feel this emotion from him.
Instead, I feel unhappy.
This made him a little angry. It seemed that this stupid Oni-chan of his really wanted to become a real Oni-chan through his fists.
The saying "There is no filial son for a long-term sick bed" means that the elderly need care and cost a lot of money for medical treatment, which is a disaster for ordinary people. It is difficult for ordinary people not to complain.
But as the son of the Grand Duke, he was really angry about his mother's attitude towards him.
However, this has little to do with him.
"It's okay. This is exactly why I came here. Please lead the way."
Li Ke remained calm and nodded to signal Mordred to lead the way.
The handsome young knight immediately turned around and took Li Ke to the room on the top of the castle.
Li Ke's axe and broadsword were naturally left downstairs. These two weapons were not considered to be very precious. After all, it was a bit inappropriate for Li Ke, with his body size, to use a double-edged sword that was mainly used for stabbing.
Li Ke is very clear about what kind of weapons are suitable for different body types.
Mordred apologized to him many times along the way, showing him kindness and courtesy, and acting in a humble manner.
Li Ke just perfunctorily answered him. As he walked forward, he thought about Michael and his mother in this life.
"If she fainted because she knew that her child was mine... I don't think she would welcome me, right?"
Li Ke was confident about this. This kind of abnormal thing was not something that a woman who lived in seclusion in the boudoir and fell ill because of the death of her child could accept.
If the other person's mind is strong enough, then although he will be sad when he learns of his death, he will not fall ill.
So, Li Ke didn't have any expectations from the beginning.
When he pushed open the door, Li Ke saw a frail woman. Her waist was not even as long as his palm and her figure was graceful. At first glance, she did not look like a mother of two children at all.
However, there was now a look of pain on his face, as if he was having a nightmare.
The Grand Duke on the side looked at his wife nervously, reached out and held Mrs. Finna's hand, trying to comfort his wife.
However, his company did not make his wife return to normal, but made her even more terrified.
Li Ke didn't say much and just walked over. When the Grand Duke saw him coming, he decisively let go of his wife's hand and nodded at Li Ke.
But compared to how he treats his wife, he treats Li Ke much more enthusiastically.
"I'm counting on you, Master Li Ke."
Why does this make me feel like the same as those qigong masters?
Li Ke walked to Finna's bed in silence, looking at the woman with a frown and a look of fear on her face.
It is impossible to say that there is no feeling of disappointment in my heart, but it is just a little disappointment.
Reaching out and holding the woman's delicate hand, Li Ke felt how light it was and how fragile her life was.
That feeling of weakness could not be faked. If it weren't for a ball of golden light sustaining her life, the woman would have died long ago.
“…”
Li Ke didn't say much, a powerful vitality emanated from his body, and a scarlet light appeared on his hands.
The power representing life was continuously transmitted into the woman's body by Li Ke through his own power, and the woman's pale face quickly turned rosy.
The vitality required to cure this woman to a healthy state was nothing to Li Ke, so he planned to replenish the woman's vitality in one go.
But at this moment, Finna opened her eyes slightly, and Li Ke subconsciously let go of her hand . Finna, still a little confused, could only watch Li Ke stand up from the ground and look at her husband.
"Madam's condition has stabilized, but if we want to fully recover, we need to solve his mental illness, which is something I can't do."
Li Ke stood up and wanted to leave, but Finna, who was half asleep and half awake, spoke subconsciously.
"Al..."
But halfway through her words, fear gripped the woman's heart and made her wake up. She quickly stopped reading her son's name and looked helplessly at Li Ke who lowered his head and walked out of the room.
And just when she didn't know what to do, her husband hugged her.
"Honey, I'm glad you're okay."
Her husband's words made her feel at a loss, and in the blink of an eye, Li Ke had already left the room. She had no choice but to look at her husband, subconsciously trying to cover up her action of wanting to say out his name.
But unfortunately, she thought too much. For a young woman like her, it would be better for her not to hide anything in front of her political husband.
...What's going on?
Looking at his wife's unnatural expression, Grand Duke Tenaris instinctively felt something was wrong.
Li Ke didn't think too much about it. He looked at the task that showed no signs of completion. He breathed a sigh of relief and was sure that Michael had done something unnecessary.
Sighing slightly, Li Ke walked into a secluded room to rest under the guidance of Mordred. He deliberately showed his fatigue because he was not sure whether the woman could continue to conceal it if he continued to be there.
"Michael really did something unnecessary. Isn't it better to let Arthas die like this?"
With a sigh, Li Ke looked towards his window.
If he heard correctly, when he entered the room just now, someone . So he picked up the bottle of wine on the side, poured himself a glass of wine and spoke.
"Come out, there should be no one else here."
As he finished speaking, a tall figure emerged from the dark corner.
The girl with brown skin and pointed ears is Minette who works with Li Ke.
She was now looking at Li Ke with a curious look, as if she was seeing Li Ke for the first time.
"I didn't expect that someone like you would be in a bad mood?"
Minette was very surprised. She had been working with Li Ke for such a long time, and Li Ke always looked confident. Even if he did something surprising, he didn't care at all, as if he didn't do it for that matter, but just did it as a by-product.
"If you have something to say, just say it now."
Li Ke ignored her. Over the years, his relationship with Minette was only average, and he was not as familiar with some dark elf officials. He had only met Minette a dozen times and done some tasks with her.
After hearing Li Ke's words, Minette, who didn't like being polite, didn't plan to exchange pleasantries anymore.
"Well, since you said so, I won't say any more. Since you have the trust of the Grand Duke, I hope you can help us find some information about Queen Maya. The reward is easy to talk about. If it is a detailed location and guard distribution map, I will do my best to repay you."
Minette made a rare joke, and there was a hint of frivolity in her final words.
This is a normal thing, but...
"I advise you to think twice."
Li Ke looked at his newly refreshed task and felt that these people were really looking for trouble.
Mission: Find out the news about Queen Maya. Reward: Minette's property, Minette's clothes, Minette's...Minette.
