In the back city area, on the avenue one kilometer directly in front of the palace.
The shouts were combined with the sound of armor clashing as they ran, and a large group of elven warriors surrounded an iron-black carriage, keeping vigilance.
The carriage was slightly tilted, and the three unicorns it was pulling had been blown into a bloody pulp. The broken fur and flesh were stuck to the front half of the carriage, steaming and smelling of blood in the cool late summer morning.
Diagonally above the carriage is a hole half a meter in diameter, which penetrates the metal carriage that is more than 10 centimeters thick. Large pieces of curled metal debris are scattered on the ground, as well as deformed gears and spring coils.
In the tilted carriage, there were originally three people inside. At this time, one person died tragically and another was seriously injured. The only one who was not seriously injured was the female elf warrior Fen Wei.
"Mr. Bai Ye, Mr. Bai Ye! Can you still hear my voice?"
In the distorted carriage, the female warrior Fen Wei stood in front of Su Xiao. After confirming that no other attacks were coming, emerald green energy gathered on her right forearm. She swung her fist to the side with a loud bang.
A hole was smashed into one side of the carriage, and the defensive formation of the carriage had just been broken. It was easy for the female warrior Fen Wei to break through the 10 centimeter-thick metal layer with her bare hands.
"Mr. Bai Ye, please don't let anything happen to you. If anything happens to you, I will be finished."
The female warrior Fen Wei murmured in a low voice, gritting her teeth as she spoke, hating the person who carried out the assassination.
After a while, the female warrior Fen Wei carried the unconscious Su Xiao on her back and ran towards the palace surrounded by a large group of soldiers.
An hour later, in the back hall of the palace, in the sleeping hall.
Su Xiao, who was shirtless and with a bandage on his chest, sat on the bed. The bed was low, about half a meter high. The female warrior Fen Wei was standing on the left? The ghost Diyuk was standing on the right?
Half an hour ago, the Elf King ordered Fen Wei and Diyuk to protect Su Xiao's personal safety.
Neither of these two are small roles? Ghost Shadow Diyuk was originally the big boss of the assassination team. Because of his outstanding performance, he was later promoted to the palace and was mainly responsible for counter-assassination, infiltration, etc. There is a saying that is good?
Only with understanding can you know how to prevent it.
Ghost Diyuk is in his early thirties. He wears a black and red scarf to cover the lower half of his face. He looks strong, but is he actually not? He is actually a little thin? He only looks strong because of his big frame. Those pairs
His pale pupils make people shudder just by looking at him. Ghost, Skinner, Red Hand? These are all his nicknames.
Although Ghost Diyuk is silent and cruel, he also has hobbies? For example, collecting eyeballs.
As for the female warrior Fen Wei, this is not a small role. She once won the title of the strongest female warrior in Bay City in a competition between female elves. She was later selected because of her pleasing appearance and temperament.
The queen's personal bodyguard.
This time the Elf King sent the female warrior Fen Wei to be the security guard to greet Su Xiao, just to show his serious attitude. However, the female warrior Fen Wei pulled her hips at the critical moment and failed to help Su Xiao block the incoming black spear.
In fact, it’s not Fen Wei’s fault. She was also in a difficult situation. She was in the same carriage and was unknowingly plotted by her protector. She inhaled the nerve-suppressing aerosol. Otherwise, Fen Wei would never have slowed down.
save.
At this moment, the female warrior Fen Wei who was standing on the bed wanted to slap herself. Why did she just take a breath at such a critical moment?
Su Xiao sat casually on the bed. After looking at the female warrior Fen Wei, she classified her into a low-threat category. Although Fen Wei had the highest combat power, she was only a guard.
On the other hand, Ghost Diyuk is a trouble for Su Xiao. Although the opponent can prevent assassinations, judging from the detected data, this guy was most likely the leader of the assassination force or the intelligence force. I think
Operating under the protection of such a person is extremely difficult.
Su Xiao never underestimates anyone, especially people like Ghost Diyuk. Once the other party notices the clues, he may lose everything. Presumably, the Elf King sent Ghost Diyuk here.
One of the purposes is to target this aspect.
This is normal. Even if Su Xiao was invited, if the Elf King didn't have any suspicion and vigilance towards him, he would feel abnormal.
Although the ghost Diyuk is a hidden danger, Su Xiao doesn't care. He is now his bodyguard, and he has many ways to deal with him.
"Your name is..."
Su Xiao looked at the female warrior Fen Wei.
"My name is Fen Wei."
"Go get me something to eat, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"But Mr. Bai Ye, your injuries..."
Halfway through Fen Wei's words, she found that Su Xiao had taken off the bandages on her chest and abdomen in circles. Just now, she was looking at the terrifying penetrating injury, but now there were only inconspicuous scars left.
"Uh~"
Fen Wei didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she said with concern: "Mr. Bai Ye, the doctor specifically told you before leaving that you cannot eat normal food in the past few days."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak. The ghost figure Diyuk on the side tilted his head. He felt that his colleague this time had something wrong with his head.
"Now the doctor tells you to get something to eat."
"This~"
Fen Wei weighed it in her mind, and sincerely felt that the doctor in front of her had superior medical skills, she went down to prepare for food.
"Mr. Bai Ye, what are your guesses about the identity of the assassin?"
Ghost Diyuk asked.
"Those are my old rivals. I didn't expect them to come to this world."
"So, Mr. Bai Ye really comes from another world? Can you explain it in detail? This will help us identify the assassin."
"I have been to many worlds and occasionally buy some souvenirs..."
While Su Xiao was talking, he took out many handicrafts and currencies from the storage space. Although these things were of no use, they were antiques or rare objects and were in a natural notarized state.
Su Xiao has been to many worlds. Proving this should not be too simple. After a while, Ghost Diyuk was convinced that Su Xiao had indeed been to many worlds, especially after seeing some super-era technological creations.
I believe this even more.
The current situation is that Bubu Wang is near Su Xiao and is in a state of integrating into the environment. Baha is outside the dormitory. After Su Xiao explained, the guards let Baha in. After confirming the identities of Bubu and Baha, the guards
, no longer be wary of the two of them.
Ai Duoer was in a worse situation. After Su Xiao was assassinated, Ai Duoer was also protected as a traveler with Su Xiao. However, after questioning, the elves found that Ai Duoer did not know Su Xiao particularly well, and immediately
She was detained and was currently being held in the underground prison of the palace. The underground prison also contained some particularly dangerous things and had a very high level of defense.
In such a safe place, Su Xiao is not going to fish for Adore for the time being. Let's keep her there for now. Anyway, she has gained six killing reputations along the way. In other words, Su Xiao now has a total of seven cards with a face value of
100 points killing merit card.
In principle, the killing merit can be refreshed one last time. The reason is that the special overlord identity is not always randomly generated, and the limit is eight times. This is not a temporary modification of the Void Tree, but a long-standing rule of the killing competition.
In other words, Adol can now transfer the status of overlord for the last time. Instead of transferring the identity for the last time, Su Xiao and Caesar are studying whether they can think of other ways to continue the operation.
Su Xiao took out a cigarette and quietly inhaled some of the cigarette that fell on his shoulder. This was the antidote.
A few minutes later, the ghostly figure Duyuk, with gloomy eyes and a dark red scarf on his face, gradually tightened his brows. Although he was still standing there, his stomach was turbulent. It hurt as if someone was skipping rope with his intestines. This kind of
The feeling of shit was like a mountain falling apart, making his face gradually turn blue. His skinner, the ghost Diok, actually had a stomachache?
Ghost Diyuk didn't dare to relax and wanted to make some suspicious noises. He went back to his hometown on the spot because he had no shame and continued to hang out in Bay City.
Ghost Diyuk's expression became more solemn, and after a while, his face was covered with sweat.
After giving orders to the servants, Fen Wei returned to the dormitory. As soon as she came back, she saw the ghostly figure of Duyuk, whose forehead was covered with sweat and the word "Sichuan" was frowning between his brows.
"Diyuk, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"fine."
As Ghost Shadow Diyuk spoke, his eyes straightened. When he felt that he was reaching his limit, he managed to say: "Mr. Bai Ye, I'm going out for a patrol."
"Well, go ahead."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Ghost Diyuk felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He crossed his legs and walked out with small steps, leaving Fen Wei looking confused.
The conversation with Ghost Diyuk just now seemed to be just about asking about the assassination, but Su Xiao analyzed a lot of information.
First of all, the Elf King Cromwell is much harder to deal with than he thought. He is a very stable old man.
Contrary to expectations, the Elf King did not immediately send people to besiege the priest and others, but suppressed the assassination incident temporarily, and did not rush to Su Xiao's side to find medicine.
This ambiguous attitude made Su Xiao think of the possibility that the priest also had a method to curb "turbid bloodemia", but the yield and effect were not as strong as the "Secret Medicine of Life".
Because of this, the Elf King chose a relatively neutral attitude. Both Su Xiao and the priest had not been in Bay City for a long time. Instead of blindly choosing one to believe in, it was better to stabilize both parties. For the elves at the moment,
Su Xiao and the priest are both father-like figures. Su Xiao is a typical big dad, while the priest is more of a wild dad.
Neither the Big Daddy nor the Wild Daddy can be offended, and the elves cannot offend them. The most ideal way is to support them together. The problem is that the Big Daddy and the Wild Daddy are incompatible with each other. They were mortal enemies before they came to this world.
As a result, the elves are now a bit stuck. They can neither offend the wild fathers whom they have known earlier, nor dare to neglect the new big fathers.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao knew that her previous arrangements were not in vain.
This assassination caused the elves' attitude towards the priest to fall directly from being ambiguous to "I am not familiar with this person."
If there had not been this assassination, Su Xiao estimated that the priest would always have the upper hand, and would even work closely with the Elf King to guard against his own side. That would be the worst case scenario.
Now it turns out that the attitude of the Elf King and many high-level elves towards the priest and others has plummeted. If the priest and others had not found a way to curb the "turbid blood", the elves would have besieged the priest and others at this moment.
In Su Xiao's plan, the assassination was just the appetizer. Through this assassination, Su Xiao's status in Bay City was officially equal to that of the priests and others who had come earlier, and there was a tendency to dominate.
In Su Xiao's view, what is needed now is not to continue to promote the effects of the "Secret Medicine of Life".
What Su Xiao needs most right now is a contradiction, a contradiction that is enough to make the priest and others unable to bear it. Regarding the contradiction, Su Xiao immediately remembered one thing. A few months ago, the Elf Royal Family claimed that the underground water had leaked out.
Question, this is the best point of contradiction.
At that time, he said that a few months ago, the priest and others used the power of the abyss to pollute the groundwater in Bay City. The pot was big enough. If the priest and others were really put on the head, those people would definitely die.
"Fenwei."
Su Xiao motioned Fen Wei to come forward, and then spoke in a low voice. Fen Wei leaned forward in front of the bed and listened. Halfway through, her expression changed drastically.
"Go quickly."
"yes!"
Fen Wei quickly ran out of the dormitory to meet the Elf King. As the Elf King's personal bodyguard assigned to Su Xiao, she was of course qualified to meet the Elf King directly.
Ten minutes after Fen Wei left, the footsteps of soldiers were heard outside the dormitory. The door of the dormitory was pushed open by a burly old man. He was wearing a silver-black half-armor. He was not angry and intimidating. He was a member of the Imperial Guard.
Long Pang Kailin.
Pang Kailin looked around the dormitory. When he saw Su Xiao, he shouted: "Take down this evil doctor."
As soon as Pang Kailin finished speaking, soldiers rushed into the dormitory one after another. Looking at their eyes, they didn't want to capture them, but they wanted to take the opportunity to silence them. These were all dead soldiers.
"Whoever dares to take another step forward will die."
The voice of the ghost Diyuk came, and he walked out of the wall with his body half transformed into dark green smoke.
As soon as the ghost Diyuk appeared, a soldier who was rushing at the front stopped immediately. He made a soundless wail, his flesh and blood withered, and his bones turned into powder. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a wisp of dark green tobacco and disappeared into the air.
Into the arms of Ghost Diok.
The soldiers who rushed into the dormitory stopped and looked at the Guards Commander Pang Kailin.
The commander of the Guards, Pang Kailin, signaled to continue taking action. He had no choice now, or in other words, he had already chosen to side with the priest before, so he had to do this now.
Originally, Pang Kailin believed that the priest who could cure "turbidemia" to a certain extent was a savior sent by God, so he naturally wanted to have a good relationship with him.
Pang Kailin's overtures and the arrangement by the priest's side resulted in the commander of the imperial guard unknowingly siding with the priest's side.
In fact, this is nothing. Pang Kailin believes that it won't be long before his status will rise to the next level again based on the performance of his allies as the savior in Bay City.
Unfortunately, Su Xiao's appearance disrupted Pang Kailin's plan. In just one night, he went from heaven to hell.
Although the cooperation between Pang Kailin and the priest was short, Pang Kailin couldn't help himself after boarding the pirate ship because of who the priest was.
This morning's assassination incident, the priest's side was extremely passive, which made the priest resort to cruel tactics. He didn't think that Pang Kailin could solve Su Xiao. He tricked Pang Kailin into coming here to make the matter bigger.
, and then died in this dormitory.
"Do it!"
Pang Kailin shouted loudly, and the soldiers who received the order outside the dormitory prepared to rush in.
"Lord Pang Kailin, you can capture Dr. Bai Ye, but there must be a reason."
Ghost Diyuk spoke. Having done dirty work all year round, he knew very well how to protect himself in this situation.
"The reason? Kuculin White Night came to Bay City a few months ago. He used the power of the abyss to pollute the groundwater in Bay City, causing the residents of Bay City to suffer from turbidemia. Now he pretends to be a doctor to treat
Is this reason enough to blackmail our clan in the name of turbidemia?"
Pang Kailin's tone was resounding, and his angry eyes seemed as if such a thing was really happening.
The priest is not easy to deal with, and the same blame was thrown over there.
The reason why Su Xiao and the priest both threw out the pot was because the pot was big enough to beat each other to death. Secondly, this was the situation that the Elf Royal Family was most willing to accept. There was a problem with the groundwater, and they had made it up in the first place.
Sometimes, not the truth wins everything. When a lie is needed enough, it can also become the truth.
If it were announced that "turbid blood disease" was caused by their ancestors' iron heads, which led to today's serious disease, the people of the elves would inevitably give up on themselves, but if it were said that foreign enemies caused all this, they would definitely support the royal family and let the royal family help them
Seek justice.
If when Su Xiao first came to Bay City, his side was in a big headwind situation, now, he and the priest are basically tied. It depends on who has more means in the future.
There was a tense situation in the dormitory. Pang Kailin had already risked his life and decided to take action forcefully. But at this moment, a masked man stopped beside him and whispered something in his ear.
Pang Kailin was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly. His confidants told him that the priest and others had been controlled on the grounds that they were suspected of poisoning the underground water in Bay City.
Pang Kailin did not make any stop, turned around and left with his people. As for where to go, there was no need to ask. He decided to take his two sons and run away.
The captain of the Imperial Guard, who had spent most of his life in Bay City, keenly judged that what happened today was wrong and something terrible was about to happen. If he didn't escape from Bay City now, he would probably die here.
As long as he survives this incident, even if he returns to Bay City and is held accountable afterwards, Pang Kailin estimates that he will not be executed. Based on his connections within the regime, the most he can do is to be dismissed as the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Going back to retire is much better than dying.
The current situation is very clear. Both Su Xiao and the priest know that if they want to kill each other, there must be a contradiction. Both sides have the same vision, and they have chosen to frame the other party for poisoning the groundwater in Bay City.
If murder and arson can lead to hatred, then poisoning the groundwater in other cities is a desperate act. It is an absolute blood feud, one level higher than the hatred of seizing a wife or killing a father.
Soon, Su Xiao got a piece of information through BuBoWang's eavesdropping. Two days later, he and the priest and others would prove their intentions and reveal the other party's guilt under the personal judgment of the Elf King.
The ruling will be held in the Kingdom Hall, where many elven royals and high-ranking officials will be present.
The ruling in the Kingdom Hall is not the Elf King's words, but the duel between Su Xiao and the priest.
But before the ruling started, it was already unfair. Bubowang heard the Elf King say with his own ears that if Su Xiao loses, he should be captured on the spot and then 'imprisoned'.
If the priest and others lose, hehe, they will be chopped up on the spot.
Why is this so? The Elf King likes Su Xiao more? No, because the treatment methods provided by Su Xiao are better than those provided by the priest. Although the "Secret Medicine of Life" cannot achieve a radical cure, it is effective immediately. The priest's
Bian's treatment is slower, and he must do it himself. It is not like the "Secret Medicine of Life", which even novice doctors can use to treat patients.
With such a gap, it is natural to have such differential treatment. In addition, the teammates on the priest's side will occasionally perform confusing operations, which will make both the priest and the Elf King go numb.
The Elf King chose to start the ruling two days later, which was a very wise decision. Within these two days, the elves could gradually buy the "Secret Medicine of Life" from Su Xiao through trading. With a certain amount of "Secret Medicine of Life" in stock,
The Elf King can stabilize the situation.
It’s true that the priest is an old man, but the Elf King is also an old man.
Su Xiao guessed that the Elf King must have thought that he and the priest had other plans for coming here.
But even if he knew it, the Elf King couldn't do anything. He needed Su Xiao or the priest to treat "turbidemia".
It can be seen from many places that the Elf King is feeling a dull pain in his head when facing the current situation. He is trying his best to avoid facing Su Xiao and the priest at the same time. Even with the Elf King's calmness and sophistication, he cannot withstand Su Xiao.
Both with the priest.
Therefore, the attitude of the Elf King is that Su Xiao and the priest must eliminate one of them first, and then he will scheming with the remaining one. Otherwise, even the Elf King will not be able to withstand it.
Everything seems complicated and confusing, but in fact it is simple and clear. At the ruling meeting two days later, one person between Su Xiao and the priest must be eliminated.
At the same time, the commander of the imperial guard, Pang Kailin, left the "rear side hall" and went straight to the "forecourt".
The bright sunshine in the morning was scattered, but Pang Kailin was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery in the palace's vestibule. He and two of his confidants hurriedly walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
After leaving the heavily guarded main gate, Pang Kailin went straight to his home in the back city area. Because he had something on his mind, he moved very quickly. In addition, he wanted to take his family with him to escape from Bay City, so he couldn't make a big fanfare and brought his two most trusted friends with him.
Your confidant is the safest.
Due to the assassination in the morning, the back city area has been under semi-martial law. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin is in charge of the entire city's guards, so of course he will not be hindered.
It is said that he is in charge of all the city guards in the city, but Pang Kailin's power is actually very limited. As the capital of the Elf Kingdom, the city guards here can not only protect the city, but once its control falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives,
In the hands of others, it is very possible to use it to subvert the existing regime.
Therefore, the people who really control the Bay City City Guards are actually the royal dignitaries. Pang Kailin is at most the representative of those big shots, responsible for daily dispatching, etc. The real ones who have the final say are those royal family members.
It is precisely because of this that Pang Kailin is eager to climb up and climb to a higher position, instead of serving as the commander of the Imperial Guard, which seems to be a prestigious but is actually an empty official position.
On the deserted streets, only three or five groups of people occasionally passed by in a hurry. Pang Kailin, who had a gray beard, slowed down a little. He accidentally glanced and saw four country people dressed in formal yet rustic clothes.
These four people may have not washed their faces for many days, and their faces are dark and greasy. The 'natural hair gel' has made their hair neatly styled. The leader of them has a oily back hair.
Seeing these four people, Pang Kailin ignored them. There were many such country bumpkins in Bei City. He would not despise such people, but simply ignore them.
What puzzled Pang Kailin was that one of the four bumpkins, the leader, was holding a portrait in his hand, looking back and forth between his face and the portrait.
The boss of the fishing village stopped next to Pang Kailin. He ignored the doubts in his eyes and the scoldings of the guards behind him. He raised his right hand holding the picture, put the picture next to the face of the person opposite, and took a close look.
After comparing the distance, he grinned, revealing a few metal teeth.
Bang! Bang!
There were two explosions, and the two henchmen beside Pang Kailin had their heads smashed by the third and fourth sons of the fishing village.
Under Pang Kailin's horrified gaze, the fish-killing knife in the fishing village boss's hand penetrated his chin and came out from the Tianling Gai.
Pang Kailin's eyes widened and blood gushed from his mouth. He grabbed the collar of the fishing village boss. There was not much fear in Pang Kailin's eyes, but more of shock and disbelief. Just now the fishing village boss blocked him, and he still had
I thought this country bumpkin wanted to ask for directions.
In fact, it's not Pang Kailin's fault. No one would have thought that a killer would actually hold a portrait of his target and place it next to his face for comparison. This brutal and calm move is so incredible.
Four people from the fishing village surrounded Pang Kailin, each holding a fish-killing knife, and stabbed Pang Kailin randomly. After a while, Pang Kailin's feet were covered with blood.
After slitting Pang Kailin's throat, the four people in the fishing village walked to a nearby alley as if nothing had happened, leaving only Pang Kailin who fell to the ground and covered his bloody throat with one hand.
Pang Kailin never expected that anyone would dare to touch him in Bay City, let alone four guys who looked like bumpkins at first glance.
Pang Kailin was careless. He never expected that the four bumpkin he met this time would be so ruthless and powerful.
A group of city guards came, a patrol group of dozens of people. The leader was named Arles, the former patrol captain of the central neighborhood and now the patrol captain of the back city area.
There is an essential difference between the central district and the back city area. The former is just a prosperous business area, while the latter is an important area where wealthy people and royal palaces are located.
From a long distance, Arles noticed three people lying on the street. He immediately became vigilant and ordered people to cordon off the scene.
"You, you, and you, go and block that side, the rest..."
Arles made arrangements in an orderly manner. His immediate boss, Pont Kellin, was assassinated in the street and died suddenly. The assassin's arrogance was too arrogant. This made Arles "extremely angry" and decided to "avenge revenge" for his old boss.
.
At noon that day, after detailed investigation and careful analysis by the patrol captain Arles, he successfully identified the prisoner. At 1 p.m., he led only 10 subordinates and captured four people from the fishing village.
Because the matter was of great importance, the four people from the fishing village were transferred to the special department, imprisoned in the dungeon under the palace, and executed on a selected day.
The specific execution time is due to the recent turmoil in Bay City and the fact that the reason why the four men from the fishing village assassinated the Guards Commander Pon Kailin has not yet been found out. Moreover, the patrol captain Arles has repeatedly requested that he should do it for him.
His old boss Pang Kailin took revenge by personally executing four people from the fishing village.
Various circumstances came together, and the ruling from Su Xiao and the priest was much bigger than this matter, so the execution department decided to take the four people from the fishing village into custody first, and then deal with the fishing village after the Kingdom Council's ruling came out.
four people.
…
Back City District, Yinhua Manor, inside the castle study.
A fat middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk. His name was Eriton, and he was a direct descendant of the royal family.
Although the position of the Elf King is not inherited by blood, the royal family is. The actual secret is unknown.
It is said that all roads lead to Rome, and Eriton was an elf who was born in Rome. At this time, he pinched the cigarette with his index finger and thumb, and placed a glass of strong wine on the wood grain desk in front of his big belly.
.
Eriton was the first royal family member to come into contact with Su Xiao. Last night, his daughter suffering from "turbidemia" was cured. Today, she is able to eat and get out of bed, which makes Eriton feel very good.
"Mr. Caesar, I have heard of your name, but I wonder why you came to me?"
Eriton put down the cigarette in his hand that was completely rolled with tobacco leaves. It looked like a thin cigar.
"Lord Eriton, let me introduce someone to you."
Caesar showed his trademark evil smile. Seeing this, Eriton smiled and said: "Who should I recommend?"
"Inspection Brigade Captain Arles of the Back City District, I think he is very capable. The Guards Commander Pang Kailin was assassinated in the street, and it was this Patrol Captain who was the first to stand up and catch the murderer on the same day. This is
What a strong ability to do things!”
Caesar did not hesitate to praise Arles, but the king Eriton opposite just smiled and said:
"Well~, I have also heard about this person. I wonder how Mr. Caesar is going to introduce him? And where does he want to introduce him?"
"Recommended to...the captain of the Imperial Guard in Bay City."
"!"
The smile on King Eriton's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Caesar coldly.
"You foreigners are so brave. You have only been here for two days and you killed the commander of the Guards elected by a few of us. Pang Kailin has been working as a dog for us for decades. He has no credit but hard work. You
Just wait and pay for him with your life."
King Eriton was not a simple person, he had already understood the general outline of the matter, or in other words, anyone with a discerning eye could see the clues in this matter.
"Hey hey hey."
Caesar rubbed his hands and smiled. He took out five long crystal boxes and placed them on the desk. Seeing the crystal boxes, King Eriton hesitated.
"Lord Eriton, do you know that the "Secret Medicine of Life" has its own purity. In fact, you should also be aware that the "Secret Medicine of Life" used by your daughter last night is different from what you saw in the palace today.
It’s not the same quality.”
Hearing this, King Eriton's expression changed one after another, and he finally nodded. Indeed, the "Secret Medicine of Life" used by his daughter was more effective.
"Lord Eriton, these five "secret medicines of life" are of the highest purity. Who can guarantee that your other family members will not suffer from "turbidemia" in the future."
"Haha~, Kuculin White Night is in the palace. With him here, we can get as many secret medicines of life as we want."
"No, no, no, the decision has not come out after two days. What if, I mean, what if something unexpected happens? Lord Eriton, I want to think about the future of you and your family."
After hearing Caesar's words, King Eriton was silent. After a moment, he said:
"I want to directly push Captain Arles to the position of Commander of the Guards. It is not my decision alone. The recent situation in Bay City is too chaotic. We are going to promote the new Commander of the Guards tonight, Your Majesty.
I'm very busy and won't be attending tonight's secret meeting. Not counting His Majesty, the consent of four other people is required before Inspection Brigade Captain Arles can sit in that seat."
"This is easy to handle."
Caesar took out a wooden box and after opening it, there were 20 crystal boxes stacked inside, which is 20 "Elixir of Life".
"Lord Eriton, can't we just use these to bring others in?"
"This is it."
King Eriton smiled and raised his hand, pressing his big fat hand on the wooden box, and said: "Always give young people a chance. I think Arles is really good."
King Eriton moved the wooden box in front of him, his fat face was full of smiles, but his eyes were thoughtful. His eyes were very bright, so bright that it was breathtaking.
At ten o'clock that night, in the castle banquet hall of Yinhua Manor.
The banquet has come to an end, and the guests are leaving one after another. These guests are basically the immediate family members of the five important people of royal descent. In fact, it is not wrong to say that this is a family gathering.
In a small room at the back of the banquet hall, there is a round table and six seats. The seats are almost close to the wall, which is both crowded and gives a sense of security.
Among the five people present, King Eriton sat in the second seat, and the first seat was empty, which was the seat of the Elven King.
The remaining four people, because the light was too dark, could only roughly see what they were wearing. One of them was dressed as a judge, and the person sitting next to him was dressed as a banker. The other two couldn't be seen clearly because the light was too dark.
These five people are all descendants of kings. They do not just enjoy themselves every day, but are responsible for different areas to ensure the stability of Bay City, the center of elven power.
"So, Eriton, what do you think of Arles, the current patrol captain? What do you three mean?"
"It's up to me. I'm busy with the Kingdom Council recently, and that's what gives me a headache."
"Both Bai Ye and the priest are not easy to mess with. These people from the outside world may have some tricks up their sleeves."
"Your Majesty is also worried about this. Speaking of which, Eriton, have you investigated the person you recommended?"
"After investigation, Arles was born in Bay City and has served us since his grandfather's generation. His father died in the fishing village incident 15 years ago."
"Well, this person is indeed good. Special circumstances, special promotion, how many of you have decided like this?"
"Don't bother me. The matter with the Kingdom Council is enough to give me a headache."
"Then it's decided. I'll ask Arles to come see us later."
King Eriton officially finalized the promotion of Arles to the rank of Captain of the Praetorian Guards of Bay City.
…
In the back area of the palace, a hundred meters deep underground, in a dark, damp dungeon.
In a cell, four people from the fishing village sat around a dozen dinner plates, enjoying a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.
In the dungeon diagonally opposite, Adol held the iron bars with both hands and watched the four people feasting on the fishing village.
"Woof."
Bubu's barking came from the side. Hearing the sound, Adol turned her head and looked. When she saw Bubu, she almost blurted out: 'Have you forgotten me?'
"Are you here to rescue me?"
"Woof~"
Bubu said no, which made Adol feel even more depressed. After the exchange, she knew that Bubu had come to collude with her to confess.
…
The early morning sun rises, and Beicheng wakes up after sleeping for a night, and the smoke in the city is dim.
On the main street of Houcheng District, a figure wearing an oversized bamboo hat was walking on the street. Its identity as a mushroom attracted the attention of pedestrians and vendors on the street. It wasn't until it entered the main entrance of the palace that people's attention was drawn.
Move away.
This is the mushroom prophet who came from Sunshine Wetland. She didn’t want to come, but she had to come.
It can be said that with the presence of Mushroom Prophet, Su Xiao's duel in the Kingdom Council can at least be a draw.
Su Xiao also needs another hand card, a hand card that can win the game.
…
East of the city, industrial zone.
The sewage on the street flows like a stream, and the stone slabs are uneven due to being stepped on. The smell of sewers, sweat, and even dead rats permeates the air. These smells are mixed with the aroma of breakfast, plus industrial haze.
It's the smell unique to the slums.
There are rows of small tables on the street, and diners in simple clothes are sitting at the small tables to enjoy their breakfast. Among them, there is a man wearing an old leather armor with an elf scimitar hanging on his waist.
The long face is particularly special. He is not ugly, but he has a more casual appearance.
This kind of attire should not appear in the industrial area. Usually people wear this kind of attire when they go hunting. The reason why this person came here is because of the low prices in the industrial area.
This person is the wandering elf Lai Ge and a ‘ruthless person’ that even Su Xiao cannot take advantage of.
Lago was holding a steaming breakfast and looking at the flow of people passing by, feeling confused about the way forward.
"Lego."
A city guard sat next to Lago, which made Lago nervous. The lean meat porridge in his mouth suddenly no longer tasted good. He was afraid of the city guards. For no other reason than his instinctive nervousness and fear.
"I have something to investigate with you."
"What...what happened."
"Do you know Kuculin Baiye?"
"I don't know."
Hearing what he said, the bearded city guard immediately stopped smiling.
This frightened Lago so much that he nodded repeatedly and changed his words: "I know, I know."
"That's good, come with me."
The bearded city guards stood up and made a gesture to their colleagues on the roof. Soon, dozens of city guards appeared around, escorting Legault to the palace in the back city.
In a bakery not far away, Captain Arles of the Guard looked at everything on the street through the glass door. He put down the paper bag in his hand and said to the salesperson: "Calculate how much it costs."
"Sir...sir, these are free of charge."
"How can this be done?"
Arles put down a silver coin, held a piece of bread in one hand and went out. Putting on the long armor of the Praetorian Guard, he looked more handsome than before, adding a bit of majesty.
The peaceful day passed by at the fingertips, and the sky turned dark unconsciously. To the big shots of the elves, today's night seemed a bit long, because at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, it was the time for the Kingdom Council to be held.
It was also the time when Su Xiao and the priest had to decide whether to live or die.
