Chapter 1281: In the Drum
"Then what do you want to eat?" Li Cha asked Bibi helplessly.
"Anything that is delicious is fine, such as fried steak, grilled chicken, stewed fish, mushroom soup..." Bibili said a lot, and finally added, "By the way, don't forget the wine. Beer and wine are fine, of course Wine is better, and I don't mind beer."
This is purely a foodie...how would the truth be made...
Li Cha looked at Bibi with some dark lines, pursed his lips and said: "It's too late now, wait until dawn, I'll ask someone to do it for you after dawn."
"Hmph, don't lie to me." Who knows that Bibi is very witty, and quickly said, "Although I have been in the box these days, I can hear clearly that you can eat here anytime, and you don't have to wait until daytime. "
Li Cha: "..."
After a while of silence, he exhaled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to do it for you."
He stretched out his hand and was about to ring the copper bell on one side to summon the servants, but who knew that the knock on the door rang first, and the servant named Les reported timidly through the door: "My lord... Your lord, there are guests who want to visit you."
"Are there any guests?" Li Cha was taken aback for a moment. It was midnight, and most people would not visit, so he asked, "Who?"
"It's Mr. Oscar."
"Oscar?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows, guessing the possibility of the other party's visit, and murmured, "This is the result of the 'waiting thing' that I said at the beginning, and we can put forward conditions? Didn't it mean to wait? One to two months, come here so quickly, is there any accident?"
Pursing his lips, Li Cha looked at Bibi in the wooden box, said, "I'll talk about it when I get back", put the lid on regardless of Bibi's objection, and walked out.
...
In the living room on the first floor, Li Cha saw Oscar.
After a few words of politeness, Oscar waved his hand, and someone brought in one after another a well-sealed box, counting them, there were a total of twelve.
"Boy Li Cha, don't you want the books in the Royal Library? I've already brought one-third of the books you want. In addition, there are many incomplete taboo spells and ancient materials with high value, which can be regarded as gifts. "Oscar waved his hand and introduced, "If you can fulfill the conditions proposed, then the remaining books can be sent immediately, and the official library of the entire Soma Alliance will be opened to you."
Li Cha listened and blinked his eyes, but he was not too excited. He was very clear that there was no free lunch, and asked rationally: "What is the condition? Before, you said that you would have to wait for a while, so now is the time?"
"Yes, it's about time." Oscar nodded, sighing a little, "I didn't think it would be so soon, but the plan hasn't changed much. Speaking of which, it was you who caused it. It was the information you provided that produced a chain reaction. "
"Um?"
"It's been a long time to talk about this matter. I will talk to you in detail when I have time. Now you only need to know two things."
"Which two o'clock?"
"The first point is due to the fact that the Kingdom of Sika invaded tonight. After dawn, the Soma Alliance will officially declare war on the Kingdom of Sika, and they will never die."
Li Cha's eyes flickered, and it took several seconds to digest the information in this sentence, quite surprised. After all, this is an event that can affect the situation of the entire continent. Even if he will not participate in it, he can't help but feel a little surprised. After a few seconds, he asked aloud, "What about the second point?"
"The second point is that His Majesty invites you to take up the position of advisor to the command of the Alliance Army to help the Alliance win this war." Oscar said seriously, not looking like a joke at all.
Li Cha's eyes widened, but he couldn't help saying: "Really?"
"Of course it is."
"This is a bit of a joke." Li Cha frowned deeply, and his first thought was absurd, and said, "You have never verified my military ability, why do you want me to be a so-called command consultant to help you win the war? Based on the fact that I have provided you with some information, just based on my conversation with the emperor, the emperor has a good impression of me? Is this illogical? After all, you don’t take war seriously,
Or trust me too blindly?
Besides, what is the position of a command consultant? I've never heard of it. What are the responsibilities of this position, what power can it mobilize, and how can it function? In addition, the condition of helping you win the war is too broad..."
In the middle of speaking, Li Cha stopped, because he was sure that Oscar must understand what he meant.
Oscar did understand, and said in a slow voice: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The position of command consultant did not exist before, it was just specially set up by His Majesty. The responsibilities are to supervise, plan, command, Mobilizing everything about the war has unlimited rights in theory, and it can be regarded as half of the army commander. If you want, you can do anything that is beneficial to the war, as long as you are not suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, as long as the army commander has no valid reason to veto you, then you The order can be unimpeded."
"You mean, hand over half of the fate of the entire Soma Alliance to me?" Richard continued to frown deeply.
"Listen to me." Oscar raised his hand and said, "The position of command consultant does have a lot of power, but I also know that you don't like to be busy, so if you don't want to, you can just name it, and things will naturally be handled by your subordinates." The real army commander is in charge. Believe me, the alliance is sure to win this war, you follow the army all the way, and just wait to get the reward when the time comes."
Hearing this, Li Cha was really puzzled. Even though he could see through many things, this time he really couldn't see through Oscar and the emperor's purpose behind it.
Obviously gave him great rights, but he can not bear any obligations? It's not equal at all, it always looks like a conspiracy.
In fact, it's okay to have a conspiracy, as long as he can get what he wants, he doesn't mind taking the blame for a while, or playing a cameo in someone's hand.
But the problem is, at least let him know a little bit about the situation.
The feeling of being kept inside the drum like this is not pleasant at all, he hasn't tasted it for a long time, and he doesn't really want to taste it.
"Why?" Li Cha frowned, looked at Oscar and said directly, "What is the real purpose? I want to know."
"There is no reason." Oscar was not very cooperative, and smiled, "As for the purpose, it is what I said - to help us win this war."
"Mr. Oscar, this statement is a bit false. You should know that my brain is still relatively good, so I won't really believe it." Li Cha said in a deep voice.
Oscar continued to laugh: "Boy Li Cha, you are indeed smart, but the smarter you are, the more you should know when to pretend not to be so smart."
Li Cha raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.
He is now completely sure that the conditions proposed by Oscar definitely have a big conspiracy, and he doesn't want to tell him, and this is one of the conditions for exchanging the books he wants - he is only willing to keep in the dark until the war is won , to get everything you want.
"Okay." Oscar stood up, walked out, and said as he walked, "Boy Li Cha, you should think about it carefully. Everything is in front of you. Whether you want to agree or not, you can give me the answer after you think about it. It's before dawn. The time is really tight, but you have to be considerate, after all... war will be declared against the Kingdom of Sika after dawn, and I, an old man, have to stay up all night, so I feel very helpless."
In the end, Oscar spread his hands, showed a wry smile, and walked out.
Looking at Oscar's back, Li Cha fell into deep thought.
