Chapter 205: Revenge Is Just the Beginning

Fengxi City, the outer city square where people are gradually increasing.

Craftsmen are putting the final touches on the statue of the Seven Gods.

The statue of the Seven Gods, carved from pure white prismarine, already stands in the center of the square. The warm sunshine of early autumn shines on the statue, exuding a holy brilliance.

In the center of the square, craftsmen are building a high platform and a viewing area. They are making final preparations for the celebration that will begin in the evening.

On the edge of the square, Li Fengzheng and Kestrel were chatting casually and thinking about their plans for tonight.

"Moros was too optimistic about Jori. He put all his political resources on his nephew."

Looking at the increasingly luxurious celebrations arranged in front of him, Kestrel sighed:

"Actually, you know, although Jory is very talented on the extraordinary path, the king doesn't like Jory.

Even if there is no precedent for the king to decide the successor of the island governor, and usually he does not do so.

But if Governor Fell really planned to make Qiao Li his heir, the king would definitely dissuade him. "

"Why?"

Li Feng asked curiously after hearing the gossip mentioned by Kestrel.

Although after today, Penros Fell will probably no longer be willing to make Qiao Li his heir.

But Li Feng was still curious, why didn't the king like Qiao Li?

"I think even if you haven't had much dealings with Qiao Li, you can still feel his violent, paranoid and completely self-centered character."

Kestrel replied:

"A person with his personality is not suitable to be a governor and rule an island, or even to have rights. He will do extraordinary things and implicate many people.

It's really strange. There has never been anyone with such a character in his family's ancestors. "

When he has nothing to do, Kestrel still likes to gossip.

‘So that’s it. ’

Li Feng nodded in agreement.

Jory's paranoid character, Sia believes is the reason why Moross and Celine Weiss are incestuous.

But as a player, Li Feng, who has experienced the era of information explosion, believes that the over-indulgence of elders is more likely to create this kind of personality than genetic problems.

"So, I say that Chief Political Consultant Moros is really smart but confused for a while."

Kestrel saw Moros in the crowd who was busy with Qiao Li, shook his head and sighed:

"Moros' investment will not be returned and the crew of the shipping company will be out of luck again."

In addition to being the chief political advisor of Storm's End, Moros is also the boss of Storm's End Shipping Company and controls most of Storm Island's shipping business.

As a capitalist, when his investment fails and he loses money, he naturally has to make up for it from his shipping industry.

In short, someone will tighten his belt for him.

When he had difficulty with cash flow, he told the crew that the company couldn't make money, and then laid off employees or created a big pie for the crew.

Wouldn't it be possible to save money by cutting off their salary for a few months?

As for how the crew members live, it has nothing to do with Moros. Anyway, this is not the first time he has done this.

That's why Kestrel simply said that in the end only the crew was the poor ones.

"Moros once told me..."

Kestrel recalled what Moros said to him the last time the shipping company used damp rice to pay crew wages:

"The truth is not important. As long as the interests are maximized, even if lies and deception are used, the Seven Gods will not blame you."

Kestrel's tone included ridicule, emotion, weakness and worry.

Li Feng understood his worries, but from Li Feng's perspective, it would be too late for Kestrel's worries to happen.

Following Kestrel's line of sight, Li Feng also saw Moros and Qiao Li.

At this moment, Moros was saying something to Qiao Li sincerely, but judging from his body movements, Qiao Li was very cold, and he was too paranoid to listen to anything.

The morning sun was shining, and across the busy crowd, Li Feng suddenly noticed something.

That is, Moros's hair is dark brown, but Jory standing with him does have golden hair.

Jory has the same hair color as Celine Weiss and Penrose Fell.

‘Could it be that... Shia made a mistake? ’

Li Feng didn't understand genetics, but he had heard an explanation.

The color of a child's hair will most likely be inherited from the darker hair color of the parent.

In other words, if Qiaoli is really Moros' child, his hair color should also be dark brown.

But looking at the layout of the square at this moment, and everything Moros has done for Qiaoli.

Li Feng felt that perhaps not only Sia had made a mistake, but Celine Weiss and Moros had also made a mistake.

The villain is not Penros Fell, but Moros, who is paying for the child he mistakenly believes he is.

But what does it matter?

As Moros himself said:

‘The truth is not important, as long as the interests are maximized, even if lies and deception are used, the Seven Gods will not blame you. ’

Li Feng didn't intend to expose the lies that were likely to exist and let it continue like this. Anyway, he agreed with Moros's style.

Maybe it will be more interesting.

Li Feng unconsciously looked at the increasingly crowded crowd in front of him, thinking about the love letters between Celine Weiss and Moros that Shia had discovered, and the affair between them.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt emotional. Sia did have her own way. She turned into a cat to find out information and told it under the guise of being a great fortune teller.

Physical divination can indeed deceive people.

Just when Li Feng was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Kestrel sighing teasingly:

"I finally understand why you don't want to go to the royal city."

Li Feng:? ? ?

What's going on? After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Feng felt that Kestrel seemed to be gossiping about something again.

"She is indeed more beautiful than the ladies in the royal city. I can understand your choice."

Li Feng:? ? ?

Following Kestrel's line of sight, Li Feng saw Xia among the crowd watching the statue of the Seven Gods.

For some reason, she seemed to be very interested in the statue of the Seven Gods and was looking at it thoughtfully.

"Uh, this..."

Li Feng probably understood that Kestrel must have heard about what happened some time ago.

Indeed, in the eyes of others, he and Sia have a very good relationship.

Just as he was thinking about whether to defend himself, Li Feng heard Kestrel continue:

"You, I remember that a long time ago, I planned to introduce you to the great fortune teller, but you were not interested at all at that time.

I thought you were particularly resistant to beautiful young ladies, but I didn’t expect..."

Kestrel said in a tone that all men understand.

Li Feng: ...Haha.

After being reminded by Kestrel, Li Feng also recalled that Kestrel really wanted to introduce him to Xia when the demon invaded Wind's Breath City.

But he didn't know at the time that the great diviner of Storm's End Castle was the little black dragon with whom he had contracted.

But, it's been so long, how come Kestrel still remembers this.

"The life experience of the Great Diviner is actually quite pitiful. Her mother is dead. If she hadn't had the talent for divination, her situation at Storm's End would have been even more difficult."

Kestrel was a bit of a reminder and said to Li Feng:

"You may have also heard that the great fortune teller's mother was poisoned by Qiao Li's mother.

The people Mrs. Weiss originally wanted to poison included the Great Diviner, but perhaps the Seven Gods took pity on him and the Great Diviner did not die.

But this cannot change her situation in Storm's End, so if you are sincere with her, you'd better find a way to leave Wind's End.

Otherwise, Qiao Li, Mrs. Weiss, and even Moros, who supports Qiao Li, may even target you. Qiao Li's provocation just now is an example.

You can go to the royal city and join the Earth Ring. The king is very optimistic about you. The Earth Ring also needs diviners. I will take care of everything for you. "

Kestrel told Li Feng his proposal. Li Feng was very grateful after hearing it, but in fact he felt even more tired.

Because Kestrel got everything wrong.

The sunshine in the morning of early autumn was very good, and it shone warmly on the square in the outer city.

Kestrel had other things to do, so he said goodbye to Li Feng and left, while Li Feng was alone to calm down his complicated mood.

‘Things have developed like this. I wonder if Kestrel will also feel complicated when the truth is revealed in two days. ’

Kestrel, who thought he understood everything and reminded Li Feng, understood everything wrong.

First of all, Sia is really dead. Now Sia is not the Sia who has shown her talent for divination since she was a child.

Secondly, Qory and Mrs. Weiss, and even Moros, who are hostile to her, I'm afraid...

Furthermore, Xia is currently using physical divination, and she is not the divination talent that the Earth Ring needs.

Li Feng once asked Xia whether she also had powerful divination abilities after being promoted to the fourth level and seventh level.

But Xia told Li Feng that although she was a spell weaver, she actually hated learning the divination of Shen Shen Nao Tao. She preferred to use flames to cleanse enemies directly.

Li Feng wanted to persuade him at the time, but considering that the opponent was a fourth-level and seventh-level dragon, he basically had a ceiling in combat power, so he had nothing to say.

No longer thinking about those things, Li Feng returned to the present. Seeing that Xia was still studying the statue of the Seven Gods made of prismarine, he wanted to go over and ask.

But while squeezing into the crowd, he suddenly discovered that Qiao Li, standing on the high platform, was looking down at Sia.

There was contempt, greed, and something very disgusting in his eyes.

Li Feng was a little unhappy when he saw this kind of thing, but at the same time, an old-fashioned but very effective plan emerged in his mind.

Passing through the crowd praising the statue of the Seven Gods, Li Feng walked very close to Xia and put his arm around her waist.

Li Feng's actions startled Xia, who was concentrating. She silently raised her head and looked at Li Feng, as if she wanted to ask what was going on.

Li Feng was also a little embarrassed, but he did not pass the contract. He only lowered his head and whispered in Xia's ear:

"I suddenly realized that I am also quite naive."

Sia didn't understand it at first, but when she noticed Jory on the high platform, it suddenly dawned on her.

"Pfft."

Xia laughed, and rubbed her head on Li Feng's shoulder cooperatively and affectionately.

The routine is indeed old, but judging from the veins popping up on Qiao Li's forehead, the old routine really works.

No longer caring about him, Li Feng asked Xia:

"What, is there something wrong with this statue?"

"Hmm~"

Half leaning on Li Feng, Xia nodded:

"This prismarine is too big and complete. I always feel a little strange."

"I heard it's really rare."

Li Feng thought for a while and replied that he had learned some information about this prismarine from the words of people around him in the past few days.

"But being so big and complete is no longer a rare problem. It can even be said to be a miracle."

Xia was a little surprised that Li Feng didn't know much about prismarine. This human didn't know everything.

Without worrying too much about this, Sia continued:

“When my mother was here, she collected a lot of treasure and hid it under Mount Doom.

But I can definitely confirm that the prismarine she collected and treasured is not as big as this one. "

"Maybe your mother didn't find this one at that time."

Li Feng felt that this should not be the point, but after thinking about it, he asked again:

"Can you sense something wrong?"

Xia shook her head sadly and felt something was wrong:

"That's not the case."

"In that case, don't think too much about it for now."

Li Feng concluded with a smile, then looked at the greedy young dragon and said:

"However, when you succeed to the throne as the Black Dragon Queen, you can also move this prismarine to the bottom of the Doomsday Volcano?"

"Huh? Is that what I mean?"

Xia puffed her cheeks to refute, but the next second she smiled again:

"But what you said makes sense, I really like this stone."

"...Okay. "

Li Feng looked up at the sky speechlessly, and when he found that the sun had risen to the zenith, he said:

"Let's go home for dinner."

After that, they left the square in Qiao Li's eyes full of resentment and revenge.

...

September 17, the eleventh game cycle, the Endless Sea World.

From the evening, in the square outside the city of Fengxi, the celebration for the statue of the Seven Gods and Qiao Li continued until the night.

Although Li Feng and Xia both received invitations, they were not interested in the celebration, so they did not attend.

This made Qiao Li, the protagonist of the banquet, very angry.

He was the protagonist today, combined with what he saw in the square in the morning Li Feng and Xia's intimate behavior, he wanted to use the celebration to embarrass them in front of everyone.

But unfortunately, the other party didn't have this opportunity.

The moon was in the sky, and because of Moros's generous sponsorship, the celebration in the square was still crowded and lively.

Qiao Li glanced at the square again, but still didn't see Li Feng and Xia.

The plan failed, Qiao Li angrily pushed away the people who wanted to toast him, and went alone to a remote part of the square to the toilet built temporarily for the celebration.

Along the way, Qiao Li angrily talked to himself :

‘How dare they ignore the invitation of Storm's End? How dare they? ’

Recalling that at noon, Xia actually left with Li Feng, and they were not heading back to Storm's End.

And they didn't show up all afternoon and evening, they must be doing something.

“This is a scandal, a scandal, I want to tell this, I want them to…”

Leaving the square and walking on the dimly lit path, Jory was talking with gritted teeth.

However, at this moment, at the corner of the path ahead, in the dim light, two figures suddenly appeared. Suddenly, it flashed before Qiao Li's eyes.

Under the influence of alcohol, he tried to look and saw that it was Li Feng and Xia whom he hated.

"Well, it's so late, they dared..."

Qiao Li remembered what Moros said to him in the morning.

Moros said that Rhine was the king's man, and he had a title personally conferred by the king, so he should not provoke him easily.

'Unless you have definite evidence to prove that Rhine committed a crime or misbehavior. '

Seeing the intimate backs of the two people in front of him, Qiao Li was excited.

"Kidnapped the governor's daughter, it should be considered a crime and misbehavior! "

Jory, unwilling to give up the opportunity, chased after him. He wanted to make Li Feng lose all face and make Xia a slut despised by everyone.

With great excitement, Jory followed the figure in front of him and turned two blocks.

He didn't notice that he was far away from the banquet and there was no one around.

Turning another corner, just when Jory thought he was about to catch Li Feng and Xia.

He clearly saw that the background of the two people in front of him gradually glowed blue, becoming illusory and tall.

As they turned around, Jory saw two hideous troll faces.

Moreover, the two troll ghosts had begun to walk towards him.

Realizing that something was wrong, Jory turned around and ran for his life.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw that behind him, a taller troll ghost had been standing.

At this moment, the tall troll stretched out his hand and pinched Jory's neck.

The barrier blocked the endless screams, and the square was still lively.

Under the moonlight, everything was normal.
