Chapter 156: Uninvited Evil Guests
“This is really interesting.”
Li Ke looked at his task reward and couldn't help but look up and down at Minette in front of him, which made Minette a little confused.
Li Ke really wanted to know the upper limit of his talent. After completing this task, how would he redeem the reward named Minette?
Did Minette become obedient to him, or was she just like the goblin that time, suddenly appearing in his hands?
This is what Li Ke is very curious about.
Just like he was actually very curious about how everything belonging to Grand Duke Violet would come into his hands if he really cured Finna, he was really curious.
Because during that period of time before, although he had completed tasks before, there were very few people who did not pay him for the tasks.
Take Minette for example. She usually won't give herself tasks with unclear rewards. And when the other party is about to pay her for the task, her talent will not flash a golden light and hand the task reward to her , but let the other party give it to her themselves.
Faced with someone who treated himself as a reward for the mission, Li Ke was very, very, very curious.
They dare not take any action against the Grand Duke because the matter involved too many people. After all, Violet is the Grand Duke. Don't be fooled by his courtesy. It's because he looks very strong and has some plan.
The position of a Grand Duke involves a lot of things, just like his brother Mordred in front of him. I'm afraid that the people around him are all from various families , and they have been prepared to become a Grand Duke since childhood.
"That's not funny at all. I'm serious. As long as you can help us get enough information about Queen Maya, I will provide you with everything I can."
Minette was very serious.
Although she is a centrist, she is clear about one thing.
A country cannot be without a backbone.
As long as Queen Maya is in the hands of the Empire, the Dark Elves will be controlled by the Empire.
It's not impossible to change an emperor, but honestly, Queen Maya has done a pretty good job. Everyone likes her, and most of the dark elves who are eligible to inherit the throne are either uneducated and incompetent, so pushing someone else to the throne will only make things worse for the dark elves, or they are too old and their views are consistent with the Council of Elders.
This was unacceptable to Minette.
Dark elf society requires balance, not dictatorship.
And once Queen Meya was forced to become the wife of a prince and gave birth to a child, it would no longer be just a shame for the dark elves.
As for how to force Queen Maya?
It's very simple.
Capture a dark elf who admires Meya, and if Meya disagrees, smash one centimeter of her flesh and blood, crushing it bit by bit. In a few days, Meya's spirit will collapse.
Next, as long as we give the dark elves a little benefit and some policy preferences, they will be willing to do anything.
This is the tragedy of a weak country.
So she had to get Maya's information, and after getting it, whether it was to rescue her or...
Both can make the current situation of the dark elves better.
"Well... I'll take it, but don't expect too much. I don't plan to get entangled with these people any more."
Li Ke didn't think he could complete the task. How could he get Queen Mea's whereabouts so easily? Minette could enter the castle of a Grand Duke so easily but couldn't find him, let alone himself who had nothing to do with the top leaders of the empire.
To be honest, the most likely thing is that they find it themselves.
"Haha, people like you will get entangled with you even if you don't want to get entangled with them."
Minette chuckled twice, and then she and Li Ke heard footsteps at the same time. She made a gesture to Li Ke and disappeared into the shadows. When she looked again, she was gone.
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke heard a very polite voice.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li Ke?"
This is a female voice that sounds pleasant and steady.
Li Ke found it very interesting that since he came here, people were looking for him everywhere.
Gods seek him, humans seek him, and dark elves seek him.
It was as if his adventure in life had officially begun when he decided to save his mother.
Who will it be this time?
Li Ke opened the door and saw a rather dignified girl.
This girl is obviously very young, but she has black hair tied up. Behind her stand two swordsmen who look very imposing.
However, when they saw Li Ke, the two swordsmen subconsciously took a step back and put their hands on the hilts of their swords.
On the contrary, the dignified girl in front of Li Ke did not move at all, but showed a look of surprise on her face.
"Who are you?"
Li Ke looked at the girl in front of him in confusion, not knowing who she was.
He was dressed elegantly and was able to walk freely in a grand duke's castle with his own guards.
If the identity is simple, then it is really incredible.
"My name is Celia. You may have heard of this name... But it's really surprising. When I heard my guards report that Grand Duke Violet 's guest was a person who was quite different from the rumors, I didn't take it seriously. But after meeting you, I found that you really have a surprising aura."
Although she was commenting on Li Ke, the girl's tone and aura made it seem so natural, as if this person was supposed to stand over others and comment on them.
Li Ke somewhat disliked this self-righteous guy, but this girl gave him a very good feeling, and what was very subtle was that Li Ke did not sense any malice from her.
But just as he was thinking this, the girl spoke again.
"Just looking at your appearance, you should be a handsome and extraordinary man. Why do you cover your cheeks?"
At this point, Li Ke became a little impatient. Although the person in front of him was indeed a noble person, it was too impolite to speak like this.
"I am so ugly, I am afraid I may have offended you. Sorry, I am really tired from using my power to treat Madam Finna, so please allow me to leave."
Li Ke didn't want to get involved with these dignitaries, but the girl was not so easy to get rid of.
"Really? But it doesn't look like it, and..."
The girl raised her head, looked at Li Ke and smiled.
" Sage, you don't want your territory to be razed to the ground by the empire, do you?"
