Chapter 7: The Holy Court

Su Xiao ignored the prompts from Apocalypse Paradise. Even if a battle angel really came to chase him, the worst possible outcome would be life and death. Su Xiao had never been afraid of fighting.

"I want 50%. Excluding expenses, you get 20%."

Su Xiao planned to let these miners continue to dig, and finally caught a group of them. How could he kill the goose and get the egg? That was a short-sighted approach.

If these miners have the opportunity to continue mining and mine all the blue ores underground, Su Xiao will be able to obtain at least 2,000 blue ores, each of which has a 'standard unit' weight.

Simply squeezing will only have the opposite effect, but if both parties benefit at the same time, it will be easy for people to accept it.

"this……"

The captain in the miner hat was confused, but he only thought for 0.1 seconds before agreeing to Su Xiao's request, which was very sincere.

For Captain Miner Hat, life is more valuable than anything else.

"It is very dangerous to mine the mineral veins under the city of Arans. We need to guarantee it. It is estimated that you can get more than 2,000 blue ores!"

Captain Miner Hat spoke in a deep voice. He had never thought about leaving and running away. After preliminary negotiations, he discovered that the enemy might be Lao Yinbi.

In his opinion, the contractors of Samsara Paradise are terrible, and the old Yin Bie among the contractors of Samsara Paradise is even more terrifying.

Therefore, in the judgment of Captain Miner Hat, the chance of them escaping is very slim. He has heard of how scary the old Yin Biao in Samsara Paradise is, but has never seen it. This is actually the scariest thing.

"We will contact you later. As long as you don't get destroyed by the entire city, there will be no problem."

A communicator appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and he threw it towards the captain of the miner hat.

After doing all this, Su Xiao disappeared from the spot 0.5 seconds later.

boom!

A circular pit suddenly appeared where he was just now, and the surrounding ground cracked rapidly.

With wisps of cold air rising, Eminem walked past the six contractors. In the perception of Captain Miner Hat and others, Eminem was also 'safe', but their perceptions were misled again.

And Amu's flashing red eyes told them that this tauren would kill without blinking an eye, and he would not show any emotion.

"I'm optimistic about you, go for it."

Baha landed on the shoulders of the miner hat captain, and disappeared the next moment, and the next moment, Baha had appeared above the city wall.

Baja was telling them they couldn't escape.

"The air is a bit sweet?"

The tall Jiaoshan opened his mouth. Although he looked strong, he was timid. He had a bear-like body and a tender heart like a deer. It was actually his luck to be chosen by Tianqi Paradise.

"Of course it's sweet, we may have been poisoned, but...the people in Samsara Paradise are not completely unreasonable, and they left us 20% of the profit."

"Do it or not?"

"Do we have a choice?"

"With such a large blue vein, even if the net income is only 20%, you can still make a lot of money, let's do it!"

The captain in the miner hat pressed his chest with one hand. Even now, his heartbeat is still very fast.



It was already three-thirty in the morning in the city of Arans. At this time in midsummer, the sky began to get dark.

Su Xiao found a hotel in the city and knocked on the door for a while before someone opened the door.

After renting a room, Su Xiao sat on the hardwood bed and looked at the two azure ores between her fingertips. These things could be sold for a good price, but Su Xiao was not prepared to sell them as they had other uses.

What happened tonight made Su Xiao discover a way to make money, that is to find a group of miners, and after 'friendly negotiation', let the Apocalypse miners mine the resources, and then share the money in proportion.

If you kill those 6 miners and get 2 scarlet cards, you are extremely lucky, but if you choose the "sustainable development" method, you will get a steady stream of profits.

Gathering her thoughts, Su Xiao is now the deputy of the old duke. Of course, this so-called deputy is because the old duke wants to save his face. In fact, as long as the old duke does not terminate the cooperation, Su Xiao will be the temporary duke.

As for what to do if someone questions his power, is there any need to ask? At that time, Eminem was asked to beat the opponent to submission. Even if it went to the Holy Court, it would be Su Xiao's side.

Putting away the blue ore in her hand, Su Xiao began to meditate daily.

Time passed quickly during meditation, and before he knew it, the sun was shining on him.

Su Xiao's eyes opened. It was now seven o'clock in the morning. Five minutes ago, the old Duke's carriage entered the city of Arans from the city gate.

After checking out of the hotel room, Su Xiao took Baha and Amu and went straight to Silverthorn Street.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao stood in front of a fruit stall, holding an apple in her hand, and took a big bite. The flesh was crisp and soft, and the sweet and sour juice moistened the taste buds.

At this moment, the old Duke's carriage drove slowly from the east side of the street. The emblem of the carriage was a snake with black scales all over its body and a forked tail. According to the mythology of this world, this is the snake of the abyss, which represents power.

and majesty.

The carriage stopped and the door was pushed open from the inside. As soon as Su Xiao and Baha got on the carriage, Eminem squeezed in quickly.

"Wait a minute, Eminem, you..."

Before Baha finished speaking, he was squeezed onto Su Xiao. The old Duke opposite him also leaned back as much as possible, his old face full of wrinkles twitching.

Click~

The carriage made a crisp sound, and the three rhino horses pulling it screamed helplessly before moving forward with heavy steps.

Bubu Wang, who was lying on the carport, breathed a sigh of relief. He still had foresight.

The carriage was traveling on the street, the round axles of the wheels groaning, and passers-by looked sideways. If it hadn't been for the Duke's carriage, it would have been stopped by the militiamen for questioning.

It took nearly an hour for the carriage to stop. Some innocent Eminem was the first to get out of the carriage. Dozens of sharp glances came to him. It was an imperial soldier wearing armor and holding a long weapon.

After Su Xiao got off the carriage, she found that she had arrived on the corridor of a large courtyard. There were pools on both sides of the corridor, trees were planted around it, and at the end of the corridor, there was a very magnificent building.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

The old Duke stretched his aching back and looked at the magnificent building. This was the Holy Palace, the center of power of the Serra Empire.

Following the Yong Road, Su Xiao arrived in front of the main entrance of the Holy Palace.

"Stop."

Two long weapons were crossed in front of Su Xiao. The old Duke waved his hand, and the soldiers on both sides raised their weapons with serious expressions.

"Let the two of them stay here while we go in."

The old Duke walked towards the main entrance of the Holy Palace, while Su Xiao asked Amu and Baha to stay in front of the door, accompanied by Bubu Wang who blended into the environment.

After entering the Holy Palace, the first thing you see is a main hall. The Holy Palace has only one floor and is divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. The outer hall is where the Holy King summons the middle and upper-level officials of the empire, and the inner hall is where the five dukes and the old Holy King are.

Where final decisions are made.

There is a very long discussion table in the outer hall. Su Xiao suspected that if the Saint King sitting at the head did not speak loud enough, the officials sitting outside the table would not be able to hear what the Saint King was saying at all. They could only rely on their words.

Mouth guessing.

The city of Arans is like this, there are many powerful people, and the captain here is not even a fart.

Su Xiao walked past the throne, entered a short corridor, and arrived at the inner hall. The place was even more magnificent, with a metal round table in the center and only six seats.

On the backrest of the first throne, there is an engraving of a crown, and the engravings on the other five seats are: a split-tailed snake, an angry lion, a forest, a moon wolf, and a one-eyed vertical pupil.

"Come early."

The old Duke was sitting on the seat with the image of a split-tailed snake. He pointed to the seat with one eye and vertical pupil beside him, indicating that Su Xiao was welcome.

"The White Dragon Duke will not arrive?"

"Kemillan will not come. He is three hundred years old and he is still obsessed with women."

The old Duke snorted coldly, obviously he had an old grudge with the White Dragon Duke Kermilen.

As soon as Su Xiao sat down, a middle-aged man walked into the inner hall. He had the lazy charm of an adult man. He was wearing loose white clothes and looked like pajamas in this world.

"King, you are here."

The old Duke lowered his head, and the person who came was clearly the Saint King. He didn't have a strong aura, as if he hadn't woken up. He even breathed a sigh of relief, and his silver-gray hair was very smooth.

The Holy King ignored the old Duke. After he sat in the first place, he leaned one arm on the armrest, clenched his fist to support his side jaw, and fell asleep for only half a minute at most.

The mission target is just a few meters away. In this case, Su Xiao will certainly not take action.

After confirming that the Saint King was asleep, the old Duke began to chat with Su Xiao in a low voice.

"Cukulin, I heard from people below this morning that a section of the wall in the south of the city collapsed."

"Oh? Really."

"That guy Li Lin used this matter to frame me. After you take my position, you must resolve this matter first, otherwise Li Lin will insist on it."

The old Duke looked a little unhappy. As for why the city wall collapsed, Su Xiao certainly knew that it was dug by miners.

"Who among the other four dukes is your ally?"

"This...our relationship is pretty good."

The old Duke smiled awkwardly but without losing his grace. What he meant was that, except for the Saint King, the other four Dukes were all enemies.

"They won't unite..."

Lidya Su frowned slightly, feeling something bad in her heart.

"Don't worry, they've been together for more than 50 years, but I'm still sitting here, and I'll leave it to you from now on."

The old Duke's old face was blooming like a chrysanthemum. Su Xiao turned her head and looked at him. This old guy had offended all the high-level people in power except the Saint King.

"What did you do?"

Su Xiao's words seemed to irritate the old Duke, and he looked slightly 'angry'.

"Those four bastards, I just married my outstanding children to them and called me grandfather. Is it so difficult?"

The old Duke did not let the other Dukes call him Grandpa, but the more ruthless Grandfather. He was not pushed to the ground and beaten by the other four Dukes, probably because the other four Dukes were more gentlemanly.

Although it sounds funny, this old guy has a big agenda.

"..."

Su Xiao stopped talking, and the old Duke was smiling with his two wives in his hands.
