Chapter 116: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety
It's late at night, and in the middle of the night, the streets in Central City are deserted.
"Go this way."
A deliberately suppressed voice came, and Captain Bernard, who was forced to surrender to the enemy, was walking in front. In fact, what he didn't want was for his boss's wife to take the initiative to seduce him, but his boss would not believe this. If this was exposed,
What he faced must be castrated first and then killed.
Thinking of this, Captain Bernard shuddered, walked quickly, and finally returned to the small courtyard where Su Xiao temporarily lived. When he looked at Captain Bernard again, he was sweating.
"You can't do this. If you're so frightened, your head will be filled with sweat."
Caesar showed a smile that every man could understand, while Captain Bernard remained silent.
"Seeing that we are all our own people, I would like to recommend a rejuvenating pill to you, as long as..."
Caesar took out a paper ball from his arms, which was a pill wrapped in calendar paper. The pill was not small, as big as a lychee, and looked dark across the calendar.
Captain Bernard didn't take it seriously. When he heard that this thing could be tried for free, he was moved. He opened the calendar paper, frowned and chewed one like a candy pill. As soon as the pill was chewed in his mouth, he
His whole face was wrinkled, looking like he might die at any moment.
After a while, Captain Bernard sniffed and his forehead was still buzzing.
"Isn't it strong?"
Caesar gestured with his thumb as he spoke, Captain Bernard nodded, and after taking the pill, it went straight to the sky.
A few minutes later, Caesar walked into the second floor of the mansion with his chin slightly raised, and his secret rejuvenation pills were sold out.
"Caesar, selling counterfeit medicines can easily lead to trouble."
Baha opened his mouth and upon hearing its words, Caesar sneered and said, "That's not a fake medicine."
"Isn't it true that counterfeit medicine can get so addictive?"
"Concentrated mustard, of course."
"You are such a talent."
Baha was speechless. Caesar was counting the money aside. Although Brother Donkey's 'treatment' had been completed, the client had not arrived yet.
According to what Caesar said, the client in this matter was Os Conrad, the son of the eldest god. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit puzzling.
Os Konrad is one of the powerful people in the main city, the eldest son of Poseidon, and the person most likely to threaten Poseidon's authority.
Why would such a person be related to Brother Donkey and hire someone to heal Brother Donkey?
Everything is very suspicious. Su Xiao's acceptance of this commission is more of a temptation. If he wants to deal with Poseidon, the eldest son of God, Os Konrad, is the best collaborator, surpassing Sias and Wood.
If Poseidon, Sias and Wood can be successfully destroyed, they will become Su Xiao's enemies again. Don't forget, this is a battle for the scroll. In the end, whoever submits the most scroll fragments to the eldest lady will be the winner. Su Xiao
View the ranking of scroll fragments.
[The ranking of picture scroll fragments has been refreshed, and the current ranking is as follows.]
First place: White Night (Reincarnation Paradise), number of picture scroll fragments submitted, 20 yuan.
Second place: Wood (Devil Tribe), the number of scroll fragments submitted was 4 pieces.
Second place: Siniyas (Destroying Star), the number of scroll fragments submitted was 4 pieces.
Second place: Lilim (Demon Tribe), number of scroll fragments submitted, 4 pieces.
Second place: Morey, Moon Apostle, number of scroll fragments submitted, 4 pieces.
…
Except for Su Xiao, everyone below is in second place. The reason is that only after submitting 4 scroll fragments to the eldest lady can one ascend to the second floor of the castle.
In fact, Su Xiao doesn't want to be the first at this stage. He submitted 20 picture scroll fragments to the eldest lady, mainly to increase the eldest lady's friendliness to 100 points and try what will happen.
That's why he got the "password" and "password". The former has been put to use, but the function of the latter is still unknown.
Of course, Su Xiao had more than 20 picture scroll fragments. He also had 18 pieces in his hand, making a total of 38 pieces. Wood and Sias also held many picture scroll fragments in their hands.
Su Xiao looked at the 18 scroll fragments in the storage space. After entering the third immersive painting world, the bottom of the sea, there were two changes in the rules of the battle.
First of all, after someone is eliminated, new participants will be transferred in in just one hour.
The second change is that in the inner painting world, you can submit picture scroll fragments to the eldest lady. The process is as follows: first submit the required picture scroll fragments to the Void Tree, and then they will be in the hands of the eldest lady, and the submissions on the ranking list will be
The number of picture scroll fragments will naturally increase.
In the living room of the main painting world, there are a total of four paintings, representing the four inner painting worlds. Judging from the current situation, Su Xiao has a feeling that the winner of the battle for the scrolls will be decided in the underwater world. Maybe not.
It’s time to draw the world in the fourth level.
This is not Su Xiao's random guessing. Brother Shui cleared the field before, greatly speeding up the pace of the battle, and all possible unstable factors were removed.
Brother Shui has stopped clearing people now, which means that there is more than 90% chance that Crow Girl has entered this world.
In this way, the participants in this world are: Su Xiao, Crow Girl, Wood, Sias, Lilim, Brother Shui, and the Apocalypse Sisters.
Ignore the Apocalypse sisters for the first time. Judging from their salty expressions before entering the underwater world, it is obvious that they have completed their mission. The remaining time is spent happily playing soy sauce. The core idea is not to die.
Brother Shui's words seem to be a strong enemy, but Brother Shui's series of performances mean that he has given up the fight for the scroll fragments. He came too late this time, so he profited from other channels, that is, the Qing people helped Crow Girl enter
field.
Lilim's words, after awakening, this succubus clearly has the strength to fight Su Xiao. Although she is not very durable, with the battle she can break out, she is too hard to beat. It is obvious that Lili
Mu’s goal this time is not to win, he has other plans.
After this elimination, the only real contenders are Su Xiao, Crow Girl, Sias, and Wood.
Others are not interested in competing for rankings? No, it's because the four people currently competing are in a chaotic battle among the gods. If they join in rashly, it will be too easy to give up.
Lilim also had dreams before, but after the battle with the blood monster, she was a little hesitant and began to consider whether it was worth continuing to participate in the fight here. Afterwards, the Lord of the Sun → The Beast of the Flame, and after the battle with the Lord of the Flame, Lilim
I discovered that this was a fight between gods.
Until Sunbird Tehakkak appeared in the "Holy Dan City" in the world of sand, Lilim decided, goodbye! The subsequent fight had nothing to do with her, she had other things to do.
After calculating this, there are actually only three remaining opponents, two are 'teammates', and the other one is Crow Girl.
The most ideal way is to let two teammates deal with Crow Girl. The biggest obstacle is that the IQs of the two teammates are too high to do such a thing.
While Su Xiao was thinking, there was a knock on the door downstairs, and Bubuwang went to open the door.
A man wearing a black coat with gold patterns, a bowler hat, and a cane went upstairs. He looked to be in his early 30s. His originally handsome appearance was ruined by the black and red lines on the left half of his face.
This pattern, which resembled lightning strike lines, clung to the entire left side of his face, reaching behind his ears. His left eye was completely white, and there were cracks in the center of the eyeball.
"Are you surprised at the ugliness on my face? This was given to me by my father," the visitor paused before saying with a smile:
"Actually, this was not given by my father, but was done by myself. When we first meet, I am Os Conrad, the eldest son of Poseidon and the person he most wants to get rid of. I am very happy to meet you, Sun.
Cuculin White Night of the Church.”
Os Conrad, the eldest son of God, has a gentle tone, but he is strategizing.
"I know that you are related to the Church of the Sun. This is not surprising. A few days ago, a Ji King came to me and told me a lot of things. The Ji King called himself Lu Xiuman and came from the only remaining ancient castle in the main painting. The Ji King always knows
Many things.
People say that the King of Traces has their current status because they can see the future, but in my opinion, what is more terrifying is that they can peek into the past. The future has infinite possibilities, but there is only one past that has happened."
Conrad picked up the teacup on the table, raised the cup to signal, and then began to drink slowly.
Hearing his words, Su Xiao thought that it was the King of Miracles in Room 5. He knew that King of Miracles could foresee the future, but he didn't know that being able to peer into the past was indeed an incredible ability.
If used well, it will result in information crushing.
For example, now, Os Conrad has gained a huge intelligence advantage through the King of Traces, and has taken the initiative in tonight's meeting.
"Your methods... are very clever. Without the information given by King Ji, I would not have noticed you. Kuculin Baiye, you came here to kill my father. Apart from this, I really can't think of anything else."
possible."
Os Conrad raised his left hand, with the back of his hand facing up, and said with a smile: "Even with a guard, the sense of crisis still makes my hair stand on end. You have to know that I have three wives and five children. This is not showing off.
It’s about sincerity. I, who have a complete family, come to have a face-to-face interview with you who may take my life at any time. Is this sincerity enough?”
Os Conrad is not an ordinary person, but with his strength and being so close to Su Xiao, it only takes an instant for Su Xiao to take his life, and the guards behind him will never have time to react.
"fine."
Su Xiao's breath retracted, Os Conrad, who was sitting opposite, relaxed, and the two guards behind him, a man and a woman, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know your origins, but I know your purpose of coming here. That's enough. As a cooperating party, you should naturally know enough about me."
Os Konrad glanced at Caesar with his peripheral vision, meaning that if he had any doubts, he could confirm it with Caesar, and he began to briefly describe his situation.
As the eldest son of Poseidon, Os Conrad's conflict with Poseidon originated from Poseidon's young wife. The content is very explosive. Conrad, who was 15 years old at the time, had an encounter with the young woman. This was not only a moral issue.
, also involves ethical issues.
The result can be imagined. Conrad's current face was caused by being punished by Poseidon at that time. Many people said that Conrad was lucky to survive.
After Conrad was 20 years old, his face was disfigured, and his character was cold and violent. After the age of 25, he secretly developed his strength. At the age of 27, he broke with Poseidon. To this day, he is the only thorn in Poseidon's side in the main city.
The grievances between Poseidon and Conrad that are rumored by the outside world are like this, but the real situation is not like this. It is many times more magical than this. The real situation is:
When Conrad was very young, he was smarter than his other brothers and sisters. He discovered one thing. His brothers generally did not live long, and the title of the eldest son of Poseidon took turns. This made the young Conrad decide that he
Can't be too smart.
Until one day, Conrad heard that his nearly 60-year-old brother had died in Sanctuary City No. 8. This young Conrad was deeply shocked. He knew that his brother was stupid enough to make people laugh.
, he still didn’t live past 100 years old, and was hacked to death by thugs. His life was too short.
Conrad concluded two points. If you become the eldest son of Poseidon, you will not be able to live long either if you are too old or too smart.
Conrad didn't panic. He still had two older brothers, so he couldn't become the eldest son of Poseidon. This made him live with peace of mind every day.
As the saying goes, good things happen to people. When Conrad was 12 years old, he learned the bad news that his two brothers died miserably.
That night, Conrad, who became the eldest son of Poseidon, hid in bed and cried secretly. He didn't want to leave this beautiful world. He was only 12 years old, and he was still a child.
As Conrad grew older, he gradually understood how those brothers died. The source of all disasters lay in his father, the aloof Poseidon, who intended to become a terrifying existence of the Holy God.
Conrad's journey of self-rescue began. When he was 15 years old, he 'accidentally' knocked over the box of resentment, and most of his face was disfigured. This was just the beginning of his plan. He wanted to spread rumors to the outside world that Poseidon had begun to persecute him.
This kind of rumor alone is not strong enough to stimulate the senses. If desires, ethics and other aspects are added, it will spread widely. People are like this. The more exciting the news, the more likely they are to remember it, even if someone later claims it.
, this is false.
Things were as Conrad expected. The rumors spread. Even if the people from Poseidon Palace used bloody methods to torture to death several of the people who were rumored to be the most popular, the more it happened, the more people felt that Poseidon Palace was covering up.
Scandal, your circle is in chaos.
Conrad grew up day by day. He did not pretend to be stupid, but looked sinister. In the few meetings with Poseidon, he implicitly showed almost fanatical admiration and yearning.
This situation lasted until Conrad was 27 years old. He knew that in order to consolidate his position and continue to have the continuous power of faith in the main city, his father would eliminate outstanding heirs one after another, but the eldest son
It must exist. This is the last comfort for his subordinates, lest people feel that Poseidon has become heartless and has no desire, and has long forgotten his past feelings.
Poseidon is maintaining a terrible balance. For the goal of becoming the Holy God, Conrad knows that this is his only chance, the chance to survive.
Conrad and his father Poseidon proposed that divine power would lead to many disadvantages, and rebel forces in the main city sprouted up like mushrooms after the rain.
Conrad proposed that simply occupying these rebel forces would be counterproductive. They needed a rebel force that was controllable and convincing enough as their leader.
There are two benefits to doing this. One is to attract those who are rebellious, let them take refuge, and then deal with them secretly. The other is to diversify the power system in the main city and give hope to those who are desperate for divine power.
, once you have hope, you will not resist easily, but wait for the distant hope to come.
This controllable rebel force was founded by Conrad, and all the senior personnel were secretly cultivated by Poseidon.
The leader of the rebel forces is Conrad. He is the son of Poseidon. According to rumors, he was almost executed by Poseidon when he was a boy. It is said that he will oppose Poseidon. People think it is normal, even though he is the eldest son of Poseidon now.
The mission of this force is to openly oppose Poseidon and attract those people or forces who really want to rebel.
After the power was promoted, the effect was excellent. With the charisma displayed by Conrad, those who intended to rebel joined in batches and were killed in batches.
This is in line with Poseidon's wishes. There are indeed too many rebel forces in the main city and they cannot be cleared away. Now that Conrad is here, those rebel forces are showing signs of being completely extinguished.
This balance lasted for 2 years and 10 months. According to Poseidon's original plan, it lasted for 3 years. After Conrad was eliminated, he did not need outstanding heirs.
The accident happened at this time. Conrad had been struggling since he was 12 years old, and until he was almost 30 years old, he finally stood up and could say to Poseidon: 'Come on, try to see if you can crush me to death.'
"This is my life. I have always wondered about one thing. For a long time, I just wanted to live. Is this wrong?"
Conrad touched his grooved left cheek with his fingers. Obviously, this was a guy as steady as an old dog. He was willing to take such a big risk to stand up, which showed that the situation on his side was already very bad.
"Your father is not far away from becoming the Holy God?"
Su Xiao lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke.
"Yes, after he became the Holy God, I must be the first lucky person to be sacrificed to heaven. Oh, by the way, there are also my wife and children."
What Conrad said is not an exaggeration. If his description of Poseidon is true, Poseidon can indeed do such a thing.
"Then let's join forces."
Su Xiao's words made Conrad stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that Su Xiao would believe what he said. In order to make Su Xiao believe it, he had prepared several guarantee methods in advance. He had reached a dead end. Anyone who could make a comeback would
He will not miss any hope.
"You agree like this? I don't need to make any pledge? For example, pledge important items to you, or let one of my wives be used as a hostage?"
Conrad felt a little unsure, as Su Xiao's attitude of agreeing to cooperate was too straightforward.
"This is your sincerity."
Su Xiao pointed to the empty tea cup in front of Conrad. Conrad suddenly realized and said with a smile:
"It turns out you poisoned the tea."
Conrad picked up the teacup and smelled it. He didn't smell anything suspicious. He looked sideways at his subordinates and pointed at the teacup, meaning: 'See, this is professionalism.'
"I didn't poison the tea. What you drank was type 17C chronic highly toxic. After entering the mouth, people will mistake it for weak tea. You can understand that this is tea-flavored chronic highly toxic, which does not contain
Tea."
Su Xiao's inspiration for preparing this chronic poison came from a tea-flavored drink. The drink was indeed tea-flavored, but it did not contain tea.
"Eh~, this..."
Conrad was speechless for a moment. He laughed dumbly and then picked up the teacup and said, "It tastes good. Let's have another cup."
