On the first floor of the small building, Su Xiao and Puri sat opposite each other. After the old congressman became critically ill, Puri took over the authority of the old congressman with the help of Azaz.
Puri's ambition is not to become a parliamentarian. He prefers to travel the continent on a steam train and go to various kingdoms to spend time. He has never stopped having female companions by his side. He is romantic but not obscene, and he always lives a free and easy life. This is Puri.
As the son of a congressman and the son of the Holy Land Councilor among the three powerful congressmen, Puri is respected wherever he goes.
The hyena clan did not dare to take action against Puri, at least not until the old councilor died. After doing such a root-cutting thing, the hyena clan could not imagine how the old councilor would retaliate. If Puri was eliminated,
It's totally out of proportion to the price you'll have to bear afterwards.
This also makes Puri more free and easy. In his own words, since some things cannot be chosen, he can only accept them.
The old congressman is critically ill, and others are acting as congressmen. Neither Councilor Frost Snake nor Councilor Rose agrees. The only person they recognize is Puri.
This has nothing to do with Puri's personal ability. He is the son of an old congressman. Even if he acts randomly, he is trustworthy at critical moments.
The old congressman is critically ill. Not only Puri and Azaz are worried, but Councilors Frost Snake and Rose are also secretly paying attention.
Su Xiao was attacked on a steam train before, and the people from Chidorman Company came to reinforce him so quickly because they relied on the intelligence network of Senator Frost Snake.
Chidoman Company only dared to send people to intervene in this matter and come to the rescue in time after asking for instructions from Representative Frost Snake. Otherwise, they could only watch. Even if they knew they would be held responsible afterwards, they would only dare to watch. This matter is related to
If a critically ill congressman interferes rashly, the Chidorman Company will be in serious trouble.
In the eyes of the real people in power, Chidorman Company is just a company that controls a lot of money. Under the suppression of force, no matter how much money there is, it is just a pile of waste paper. The banknotes circulating in the Four Kingdoms are printed by the House of Parliament.
Otherwise, the four kingdoms would have become independent long ago.
The empire established by Emperor Okaz has never been completely divided. The House of Parliament controls transportation, trade, economy, and the mobilization of mystics, while the Four Kingdoms control the army, territory, resources, etc.
The sum of the House of Parliament and the four kingdoms is the empire established by Emperor Okaz. Thousands of years ago, Emperor Okaz had created the prototype of the empire. He even expected that his four heirs would turn against each other, causing the empire to fall apart.
Parliamentary system is the last resort.
If the Four Kingdoms and the House of Parliament are considered as a whole, there will be far fewer incidents to guard against.
The four kings are actually the lords of various places. It is unlikely that they will establish the House of Parliament. Under this situation, if the king establishes the House of Parliament, it is tantamount to destroying himself. The trade and economic system will collapse, and no good fruits will be gained anywhere.
Excluding the Four Kingdoms, the number of suspects has narrowed. First of all, the person behind the scenes must have the right to command Tie Ya Muro. Tie Ya Muro is dead, and it was he who temporarily changed the mystic who escorted Su Xiao.
A dozen new mystics were recruited to escort Su Xiao.
Tieya Muro is a very powerful figure on the mainland, a being that needs to be looked up to, but in this matter, he is just a small role. After being used, he will die no matter what the result is.
Of course Tieya Muro is not willing to give in, but he has no choice. In the competition for power, if he makes even half a step wrong, everyone related to him will die.
The clue to Tie Ya Muro was broken, and the person behind the scenes successfully hid, but after Su Xiao met the old congressman, the clue reappeared.
The old congressman's critical illness was planned by the person behind the scenes. The combination of multiple clues gave Su Xiao more and more 'puzzle puzzles' in his hands. Now he only needs to piece together the last few pieces to find out the person behind the scenes.
Su Xiao had a guess that the person behind the scenes was also a part of a huge plan. This plan was so terrible that once successful, it could uproot the Four Kingdoms + the House of Parliament and collapse the empire of Emperor Okaz.
"Cukulin, can my father be saved? Don't worry about my feelings. Please tell me the truest situation."
Puri lowered his eyes, ready to accept the worst outcome.
"It's hopeless."
"Really, that's it."
Puri rested her elbows on the armrests of her seat and covered her eyes with one hand.
"Bai Ye, you know, before you came, I looked for four other alchemy masters, but they didn't even dare to come. You are the only one who dares to take action. Even you can't do anything, then..."
As Puri spoke, tears flowed down his fingers. The relationship between him and his father was very bad, no, it should be bad. He never thought that he was about to lose this 'dispensable' person in his childhood.
He would feel so heartbroken when his father treated him coldly in every possible way.
"It's just a joke, your father can be saved."
Su Xiao pushed aside a piece of dried fruit and threw it into her mouth, slowly rejecting it.
Puri sniffled, and stared at Su Xiao with her red eyes, but she was filled with joy despite her anger.
"Have you always been so bad?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. He was using the simplest elimination method. He learned a skill from an old friend named Harold. He could intuitively sense other people's emotional changes, expressions, body reactions, and gazes.
Disguise, the only thing that cannot be disguised is instantaneous emotional changes.
"Based on the situation, the four alchemist masters made the right decision. I should leave now."
Su Xiao rubbed the fruit shell residue on her fingertips and took a sip of the weak tea.
"They are afraid. No one is willing to participate in this kind of thing. What do I have to pay to invite you? Money shouldn't be important to you."
"Who knows."
Of course Su Xiao would not say that he needs the 'Light Austrian Gold Pound' now. The 'Light Austrian Gold Pound' is the currency of this world. This thing was originally called 'The Empire of Light and Darkness·Okaz Great Emperor's Third Sequence Batch·Paper Production'.
"Golden Pound", because the world originally used gold coins, after it developed into paper currency, it was simply called "Guangao Golden Bang".
After several improvements, the material of the 'Guang'ao Golden Bang' is made of cotton and linen, which is more difficult to damage and feels thicker to the touch. More people directly call this cute thing a golden pound.
With the gold pound, Su Xiao could purchase a large amount of alchemy materials and even build an alchemy laboratory directly.
As a master of alchemy, it is obviously unjustifiable to not have a laboratory, which will arouse suspicion. It is a bit of a loss to get gold pounds from Puri. Treating the old councilor requires taking a lot of risks, and of course a higher reward must be offered.
Before Su Xiao entered this world, one of the reminders from Samsara Paradise was that Starlight Iron was a unique and scarce resource of this world, and its specific function was unknown.
After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
"Ten kilograms of starlight iron."
Su Xiao didn't know the value of starlight iron, so she didn't ask for it. If the density of starlight iron was high, ten kilograms would be as big as a fist.
"Cukulin, you, your alchemists use starlight iron, do you calculate it by kilogram?"
Puri's eyes were a little desperate. Ten kilograms of starlight iron. Even if all the starlight irons in the stock of the Four Kingdoms + Parliament were taken out, there would still be only ten kilograms.
"You can think of this as a one-on-one deal and you can make a counteroffer."
"Then, 70 grams, that's all my father has."
"make a deal."
"Why?"
Puri didn't react for a while. The difference between ten kilograms and 70 grams was too big. After being stunned for a few seconds, he got up and went upstairs. After a while, he quickly walked down the stairs holding a very delicate wooden box.
.
"This is the reward. Cure my father and it will be yours."
Puri placed the wooden box on the table and opened it. Inside the wooden box was a translucent metal block with dots of blue inside, like starlight.
Su Xiao picked up the starlight iron and checked the information on this thing.

Seeing the properties of starlight iron, Su Xiao decided to get as much of this thing as possible.
