My Endless Life.

Chapter 42: England's Action

After getting off the carriage, Li Qi immediately saw Mayor Dag standing at the door waiting for him.

And beside him, Dag's daughter, Claudia, was wearing a lady's dress and a sun hat.

Dag is a typical aristocrat.

The reason why he is called typical is that he completely fits Li Qi's stereotype of aristocrats.

He was dressed in fancy clothes, had a big belly, a sloppy moustache, and held a cane that looked like a twig compared to him.

Li Qi had not seen many nobles. He saw most of them in school, and the second most was on the train.

However, they were either at school or traveling, so they dressed very appropriately.

Unlike the one in front of me...his body is too heavy.

Compared to Dag, the daughter next to him looks much prettier.

The long dark blond hair was curled, and under the lace-rimmed sun hat, a pair of brown eyes looked around with curiosity and scrutiny.

Her posture is quite neat, and she has obviously received a good etiquette education. She is a most orthodox noble lady.

The two men greeted them one after the other, and behind them, the mayor's guards lined up in a row.

Li Qi took in all the images before getting off the carriage.

As soon as he got off the car, Dag, who was paunchy, came up to him and said excitedly:
"Oh! My lovely Angela, I finally see you again!"

Dag said this and took two steps forward as if he wanted to hug Li Qi, but he soon stopped in front of Li Qi.

He looked at his big belly, then at his 'little daughter's' petite body, and for a moment he didn't dare to hug her.

Claudia immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Qi, saying excitedly:
"Sister, long time no see. You must have had a hard time on the road."

"Long time no see, sister."

Hearing Claudia addressing him, Li Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.

At first he thought that Claudia was forced to act by Dag, and she herself might not be aware of the inside story.

But now, judging by Claudia's attitude, the opposite may be true.

In the Angulo family, the person who really has the final say should be Ms. Claudia.

Claudia and Li Qi hugged each other and then separated immediately. Then she naturally took Li Qi's hand and walked into the city.

At the same time he said:

"You must be very tired after traveling for several days. I will take you home. You don't know that we no longer live in the territory. We live in the city center now."

Claudia was like a doting sister, and she quietly introduced the things happening in the city to Li Qi.

But although she seemed to be talking about family matters, she had actually explained most of the situation in the city to Li Qi.

These include the names of some prestigious aristocratic families in the city, some reformist officials, and traditional officials hiding in the dark.

In just a few words, this clever woman had told Li Qi all about the situation in the city in a casual conversation.

And it won't arouse suspicion.

This made Li Qi even more certain that his adopted sister was probably the real boss of the Angulo family.

The city center was some distance away from the city gate, so it was certainly impossible for them to walk back.

Therefore, after walking a few steps, Li Qi was pulled by Claudia into another carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

The carriage was dark gold in color, with two brown horses snorting in front.

Compared with the carriage that Li Qi took from the provincial capital, this carriage looked larger and more luxurious, and could accommodate several people.

Claudia took Richie's hand and got into the car, and soon Dag got in as well.

Then Genero sat in the front and was responsible for driving the carriage.

When the carriage started, the soundproofing barrier engraved inside the carriage was activated simultaneously, and Dag and Claudia's attitudes changed.

"I was rude just now, I hope you can forgive me, sir."

As soon as he got in the car, Dag apologized to Li Qi.

Li Qi shook his head: "This is my current identity. You can call me whatever you want. Besides, I'm not a superior. I'm just an ordinary person now."

The moment Li Qi became a spy, his official file would be completely sealed and only a few people would be able to access it.

At the same time, his public records would be tampered with, making him completely disappear from the sight of others.

So now that Li Qi no longer holds an official position, Dag doesn't have to be so respectful to Li Qi.

But Claudia said, "Necessary etiquette must be followed."

"Okay, there's no need for unnecessary red tape. You just need to tell me when I can leave for the Ship Federation."

Li Qi said with a slightly tired look.

After several days of traveling, even though Li Qi had good physical fitness and was a strategic-level magician, he could not hold on any longer.

The main thing is... he couldn't take off his clothes these days, and with the corset made of metal wire and the decorations on the clothes, he had to wear something weighing nearly 20 kilograms every day, which was unbearable for anyone.

Therefore, Li Qi now just wanted to find a place to take off all his clothes, have a good rest for a night, and then immediately go to the Magic Kingdom of England to study magic.

I don't want to get involved in any mess.

Li Qi wanted to go to the Ship Federation quickly, but when they heard his words, Dag and Claudia looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing the two of them, Li Qi's heart sank:
"What? Is there a problem?"

"Sir, you just arrived today, so I'm afraid you don't know that the Ship Federation refused entry to Uno citizens three days ago... I wanted to tell you about this just now."

Dager responded.

Li Qi frowned even more tightly, and Claudia added:
"You have been on the road these days, so you may not know this. It is said that England has gone to war with our country."

"I know this. I already knew the news before I came from the capital."

Li Qi was certainly aware that England had declared war on Uno.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been so anxious to leave Uno.

No... start a war?
Li Qi quickly realized that Claudia said "start a war" instead of "declare war". Could it be that...

Sure enough, Claudia quickly explained:

"It's not the previous declaration of war, it's the official start of war. England's warships arrived at the White Rock Strait a few days ago and ran into our fleet."

"The Ship Federation blocked the border when England declared war on our country?"

"Yes."

Claudia nodded.

So that's how it is. It seems that Li Qi is still a step late.

Originally, Borrent asked Li Qi to set off in such a hurry because he wanted to enter England from another route through the territory of a neutral country before England officially took action.

But unexpectedly, not long after Li Qi left, England immediately started fighting with Uno.

How could they act so quickly?

It was difficult for Li Qi to understand English's choice and decision.

England declared war on Uno a week ago, not even ten days had passed.

The war against Uno officially began three days ago.

From declaring war, to assembling the fleet, to arriving at the White Rock Strait in the Uno Sea, if any link in between was delayed, it would be impossible to fight Uno so quickly.

That is to say, from the day the war was declared, England immediately mobilized and started the war with Uno at lightning speed.

too fast.

England's actions were too fast!
It’s almost too fast to be normal!

English's action made Li Qi think of something, and he quickly asked:
"What about the Meen front? How's it going over there?"

"The Meen Front?" Dag was startled. He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about the front line where we fought with Farol? I'm not very clear about the situation over there."

Claudia added:
"We will know about England's actions or get the news from the Ship Federation. Farol is too far away from us, so we don't know the situation there."

At the end, Claudia thought for a moment and asked:
"You think that Farol might also go to war with us?"

It's not a possibility, it's a certainty.

Li Qi was in a heavy mood.

The fact that England could act so decisively proves that Farol must have also launched an attack on Uno.

Only when England is sure that Uno cannot mobilize the entire country to defend the White Rock Strait, will it dare to take such a big action!

But if this is true, it's definitely bad news.

Because this means that Farol and England may have formed an alliance!
