The old lord was snoring one after another. He was tortured by the parasitic eggs and worked day and night for several consecutive days, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. Even if the parasitic eggs in his body were removed, he would not survive for long. It could be as short as a month or as long as
In half a year, the old lord's vitality will be exhausted and he will die.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Xiao saved the old lord's life, and the attendants who surrounded him looked embarrassed.
"Ahem, sir, please come this way."
One of the attendants bowed to apologize.
"Sir, you have been tired all the way, why don't you take a rest first..."
"No need, take me to that water source."
"yes."
A confidant of the old lord glanced at the servants on the side and motioned for the other party to prepare the guest room, meals, etc.
"My lord, please come this way."
Following his confidants out of the castle, a burning smell hit him. Half of the city was reduced to charcoal. You can imagine the smell in the city.
Half of the civilians were displaced, and the streets were full of mourners. The civilians tortured by the parasitic eggs howled loudly. Not everyone had the endurance of the old lord.
As soon as he arrived at the street, Su Xiao saw several shriveled corpses. According to his perception, the parasitic eggs in the corpses were still there. If the witch wanted to get these things, it would not be a simple process.
"What are we going to do with these bodies?"
"Burn uniformly."
"Who is responsible."
"Lord Avakin is in charge."
The confidant lowered his head as he spoke, his eyes a little evasive.
"Bring him to me."
"This..." The confidant's face looked troubled: "Sir, it's like this. There are too many corpses in the city. I haven't seen Lord Avakin for a long time."
"Really, forget it, take me to the water source."
"As commanded."
The confidant quickened his pace. His name was Kan. In this world, a single-letter name is both a first name and a surname.
Kan's body is relatively thin. Although he looks weak, as a confidant of the old king, his fighting ability should not be too weak.
Under Kan's guidance, Su Xiao, Bu Buwang, and Melody walked towards the water source. Amu was too eye-catching and was responsible for watching the car. Unless it was a hard fight, there was no need to send out Amu, a general.
While Su Xiao was walking forward, Melody reached out and grabbed the clothes at Su Xiao's lower back, gently pulled and released them.
Su Xiao ignored Melody, who rolled her eyes angrily. Seeing this scene, Bubuwang sighed, which meant: "Stop worrying so blindly, just make sure you don't die."
Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the water source on the east side of the city. It was an artificial river about five meters wide and more than ten meters deep. There were rock ladders piled on both sides of the river to facilitate civilians to collect water.
Judging from the depth, this was originally a natural river, but it was artificially constructed to give it such a neat appearance.
Several fishing boats are floating in the river. This river is not only used for daily water use, but also for civilians to fish here. Moreover, this river is connected to a large river outside the city and can also be used to transport goods by water. It can be said that there is
Only with the existence of this river can the city of Nicododo be as prosperous as it once was.
"Sir, this is right here..."
Before the confidant had finished speaking, Su Xiao had already jumped into the river with a splash. Not long after, Su Xiao walked ashore, all wet.
"No more questions, take me to rest."
"It's ready, sir."
Kan led the way, and the group turned back toward the castle. Not long after the group walked, two women in black robes walked out of an abandoned house.
"The witch hunter has arrived."
One of the women spoke.
"It's just a white-level witch hunter. This is a good thing. Deal with him secretly to avoid attracting the attention of other witch hunters. If a witch hunter comes here and dies here, he can at least buy us 10 days, which is enough."
"As you like, but this is the first time that a witch hunter actually cooperates with the white witch."
After a few minutes or so, a sneaky figure arrived at the river. He seemed a little nervous.
"Things are put down and disappear before my eyes."
"Yes, yes."
The person who came was a man. He put down the cloth bag in his hand gently and left quickly.
…
The old lord's castle, in the bedroom on the third floor.
Boom, boom, boom...
There was a knock on the wooden door. Su Xiao, who was drawing a sketch, looked up at the wooden door and signaled Melody to open the door.
"Sir, lunch is here."
A maid pushed a dining cart into the room, and the dining cart stopped in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao picked up a piece of bread and was about to put it in his mouth when something suddenly occurred to him. He bit the piece of bread and began to write and draw on the drawing.
After just two strokes, Su Xiao looked up at the maid beside the dining car. The maid bowed and bowed before exiting the room.
"Pooh."
Su Xiao spit out the bread in her mouth, took out a test tube, and rinsed her mouth with the light green solution in the test tube.
After preliminary observation, Su Xiao was able to determine that there were not only witches in the city, but also many people around the old lord who had problems. For example, the confidant Kan, Avakin, who was responsible for disposing of the corpse, and others might all have problems.
Due to internal and external troubles, it is normal for Nickodore City to become what it is today. Of course, Su Xiao is not here to help Nickodore City rebuild the city. He is not interested in those traitors at all. All he needs to do is to find the witches and kill them
.
This is the essential difference between Su Xiao and those decent heroes. If those decent heroes arrive in Nicododo City, they will save the civilians first, causing a lot of trouble in the process, and then investigate the traitors. In case there is a mentally retarded female teammate,
They still need to collect evidence to eliminate the traitor, which will create a lot of trouble.
The witches can be eliminated in the end. By then, the witches may even know the color of the hero's trousers. What was originally a crushing battle will take a hard fight to win, and then everyone will be happy.
Su Xiao's plan was simple and crude, to directly find the location of the witch and kill her. As for the problem of civilians and traitors, this needs to be dealt with by the old lord himself. Although the old lord looks like he might get angry at any time, he is in this aspect
An expert who has spent his whole life dealing with matters related to rights and civilians.
However, it is not easy to find the witches. Su Xiao suspects that there are at least three witches in the city, otherwise they would not have the guts to harm this big city.
While Su Xiao was thinking, the door was pushed open, and the old lord's confidant Kan walked into the room. He glanced at the piece of bread on the ground with his peripheral vision, and walked towards Su Xiao with an unchanged expression.
"Sir, Avakin has been found, but..."
"Is he dead?"
"Yes, Lord Avakin had been dead for more than three days when he was found."
"oh."
Su Xiao dropped the quill in her hand and looked sideways at Kan.
"In other words, those witches have found more suitable candidates and no longer need Avakin to collect corpses?"
"Eh~"
Kan looked at Lidya Su in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Lidya Su was talking about.
"If I were one of those witches who had destroyed 'Nikdodo City' to this extent, the people around the local lord would also have to buy it off or seize the blame. Compared with those houses that are leaking from all sides and full of burnt smell, the old
The lord's castle is obviously more suitable for residence."
While talking, Su Xiao was observing the changes in Kan's expression. The more Kan listened, the more confused he became. Judging from his expression, there seemed to be no problem.
Is this really the case? Only after doing something wrong would he deliberately pretend to be calm. If Kan was from the old lord's side, although his expression would not be shocked, he would also start to be suspicious and worried about the old lord's safety.
.
"So, you are useless."
"Um?"
Kan was really confused this time. He didn't hear the meaning of Su Xiao's words.
A short knife generated by the energy of the green steel shadow appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This thing has basically the same structure as the energy shield.
With a whoosh, Su Xiao threw out the energy dagger in his hand. Kan just wanted to dodge sideways, but the energy dagger had already passed through his head. This guy was full of tricks, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up with the strength.
With a bang, Kan was nailed to the wall.
As soon as Kan died, the wooden door was pushed open. The wooden door was dark. You know, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
