Chapter 20: Shock

Su Xiao squatted in front of Charlene Herbert's body, the cause of the girl's death was a sharp weapon through the heart, the technique was crisp and neat, and after the killer used a sharp weapon to penetrate the girl's chest, the other party also picked her up, and finally threw her aside.

Su Xiao's fingers pushed away the wound on the girl's back, and the elasticity of the muscle tissue fault was significantly reduced, indicating that the time of her death was more than 3 hours.

Su Xiao casually pulled out a long sword from the waist of a Praetorian Guard, and after observing the surroundings for a few minutes, he finally stood in front of the flower bed, where the murderer was likely to be standing before committing the murder.

The killer was stabbing her in the back from Charlene Herbert, which can be seen from the wound, judging the wound Su Xiao is definitely an expert.

Su Xiao threw the sword back to the Praetorian Guard, and he slowly walked to the flower bed, where Shalene Herbert was picked up by the killer and thrown directly onto the flower bed, which could be judged from the large bruise on the girl's collarbone.

The girl's body was thrown to the flower bed, but there was no blood on the edge of the flower bed, but there was a clear smell of blood.

Su Xiao took out an iron can and a flashlight from the storage space, under the camouflage mechanism of the Reincarnation Paradise, his current actions were not inconsistent.

Hiss~

The white spray sprayed on the flower bed, Su Xiao turned on the blue flashlight, and a large fluorescence appeared on the edge of the flower bed, and the blood stains on it were cleaned up.

According to the direction of the bloodstains, Su Xiao judged that the girl did not die immediately after being thrown on the flower bed, but struggled for a while, and finally died here, when she died, she was dragged down from the flower bed by others and cleaned up the blood stains on the flower bed.

After Su Xiao judged the murder process of this series, he felt incredible.

First of all, this is the royal palace, who dares to kill people here? What was the motive for the killing? Who would a young girl who had never left the palace offend?

The second is that Charlene Herbert has a very lively personality, why didn't she call for help after she was penetrated through the chest? The sharp pain of being lifted off the ground after being pierced through the chest was not something that a 13-year-old girl could bear, and it was most reasonable to assume that her screams would spread throughout the palace, or that she could not call for help or scream.

Su Xiao untied Shalene Herbert's clothes, although she was very young, it was not excluded that there were people with special tastes, and the five Praetorian Guards formed a human wall, blocking the view of the queen and others.

"What are you doing, let go of Sharin!"

The queen in the distance let out a helpless cry, and the Commander of the Karen army on the side also looked angry.

The five Praetorian Guards formed a human wall, and they drew their long swords at their waists, which clearly meant that whoever stepped forward would kill whomever they wanted.

Su Xiao didn't find anything from Charlene Herbert's upper body, it was basically a blur of flesh and blood, but when she undressed Charlene Herbert's lower body, Su Xiao's brows furrowed.

"The princess of the royal family... All so open? ”

Su Xiao muttered and motioned for a Praetorian Guard to take Salene Herbert's body away.

"Iron Hand, where are you taking Sharin! Let me...... Look at her again, please, please, as if this was a mother's last request....... ”

The queen sat on the ground, looking helpless.

"Let her see."

Su Xiao felt that this queen was very wrong, the other party's sadness was not fake, but her behavior was very wrong.

A Praetorian Guard carried the body of Charlene Herbert to the queen and lifted the black cloth from the body.

"Charlene~"

The queen's hand trembled slightly.

With a whoosh, the queen spat out a mouthful of black blood without warning, and then fell to the ground with a pop.

Captain Karen on the side rushed forward quickly, pressed two fingers on the queen's neck, and after a while, cold sweat oozed from Captain Karen's forehead.

"Queen...... He's dead. ”

Captain Karen's cheeks twitched slightly, if Charlene Herbert's death was a dereliction of duty, then the queen's death in front of him......

[Hint: The side quest has changed, and the difficulty has increased significantly.] 】

【Hidden Side Quest: Secrets of the Royals】

Difficulty level: Lv.32

Mission Description: Find the killer of Charlene Herbert within 72 hours.

Duration: 72 hours.

Reward: Shadow Stone (Special Item/Golden Gem)

Quest Punishment: The old king's trust is cleared, and the Iron Hand position is forcibly stripped away

……

There was a big reversal in things, Su Xiao originally thought that it was just a side quest to earn extra money, but the difficulty suddenly climbed, directly breaking through Lv.30 and reaching Lv.32.

Charlene Herbert died a tragic death, and her heartbroken mother died after one look at her, and judging by the changes in the body, the queen had drunk the poison in advance.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over."

Captain Karen's lips began to tremble, and he laughed miserably, and suddenly drew the long sword at his waist.

Rumble!

The grass clippings flew under Su Xiao's feet, and he pounced straight at Commander Karen, as did the five Praetorian Guards.

Poof.

Blood splattered, and the long sword in Captain Karen's hand slit his throat, and this sword cut extremely deep, and the blood spurted out at least five meters away.

Su Xiao grabbed Cullen's throat with one hand, and Cullen's hands grabbed Su Xiao's arm.

"You... Will... Die, under the throne ......"

Captain Karen lost his life, blood dripping from Su Xiao's cheeks.

A princess who died in the back garden of the palace, she was pierced in the chest from behind, and then fell to the flower bed, after a preliminary observation, Su Xiao got several important information.

First of all, Charlene Herbert died of excessive blood loss after a broken heart, and at the age of 13, she often had a relationship with someone, most likely voluntarily.

Charlene Herbert was found 3 hours after her death, and her mother died after looking at her body, the cause of death was poisoning in advance.

As soon as the queen died, Captain Karen committed suicide as the head of the royal family's guard, leaving behind the words 'You will all die, under the throne ......'

Under the throne again, Su Xiao had heard this word from the mouth of the high priest before.

Needless to say, there is a secret hidden in the royal capital, and the old king is definitely involved.

Puff, puff......

The sound of falling to the ground came one after another, and it was the dozens of surrounding people who were in charge of guarding the corpse, as well as the royal guards who followed the captain of the Cullen legion.

A Praetorian Guard came forward to check on the situation, and the men were all dead, the cause of death was biting a poison sac in the mouth.

It's a good thing now, the back garden, which was 'lively' just now, has become extremely deserted at the moment, with dozens of corpses lying on the ground.

The current situation was obviously out of control, and Su Xiao led a few Praetorian Guards to walk briskly in the direction of the banquet hall.

Two minutes later.

Bang.

The door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Su Xiao walked into the hall with five Praetorian Guards, his left hand was still dripping blood, it was the blood of Captain Karen, and one of the Praetorian Guards who followed Su Xiao was holding the corpse of Shalene Herbert in his arms, which was the origin of the whole thing.

The loud noise caused by Su Xiao pushing the door, not to mention those officials and princes, even the old king was startled by this sudden loud noise, and the wine in his cup spilled.

The old king's eyes narrowed, and those who knew him knew that the old king was already a little angry, but after he saw Su Xiao with blood dripping from his hands, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Iron Hand, how did you bring the corpse here?"

After the old king saw the blood stains on Su Xiao's hand, he knew in his heart that the situation was wrong, he trusted Su Xiao, the iron hand, otherwise he would not have handed over the golden lion token to Su Xiao.

"That's probably how it ......"

Su Xiao whispered to the old king to describe what happened in the garden, the wine glass in the old king's hand was subconsciously flattened, and the wine inside was poured out.

Although the old king's expression still did not change, it was clear from the glass that he had lost some of his temper.

"They... Again... Look for...... Extinguishing the ......"

The old king almost subconsciously muttered, because his voice was too small, Su Xiao only listened to a few words, and two of them made him very interested, that is, 'extinguishing the law'.

Compared with the main quest, Su Xiao is more eager to find the relics left by the shadow of the law in this world, about the main quest, Su Xiao even thought about tying up the old king, the 49 princes or princesses slaughtered 48, and chose an obedient successor to the throne at random.

It's a pity that there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the royal capital, and the holy warrior is a high-end force that cannot be ignored, if Su Xiao really rebels, then losing both is the best result.

The deadline for the main quest is 28 days, and now that the clues to the ruins of the shadow of the law destroyer seem to have appeared, Su Xiao is ready to focus on this matter first, and the main quest is not in a hurry for the time being.

As for the clues to the ruins of the shadow of the law of destruction, the 'Hidden Side Quest: Secrets of the Royals' is definitely the best way to break through.
