"Find out about this matter before dawn tomorrow, and everyone involved in this matter will die."

The old king's hand rested under the table, and in his hand he held a small ornament, a lion carved of gold, which in some way represented the old king himself.

Su Xiao took the golden lion pendant, and a hint of reincarnation paradise appeared.

[Hint: The Hunter has activated a side quest.] 】

[Side Quest: The Death of Charin]

Difficulty level: Lv.23

Mission Description: Find the killer of Charlene Herbert within 18 hours.

Duration: 18 hours.

Reward: Wisdom Gem (Pale Gold)

Quest Punishment: The Old King's trust is slightly reduced.

……

Su Xiao activated the side quest again, which made him suspect that as long as he helped the old king do things, there was a certain chance of triggering the side quest.

Su Xiao spent 16,000 points of world merit to exchange for the identity of the Iron Hand, the Iron Hand has neither financial resources nor military power, and now it seems that the benefits of exchanging the Iron Hand are not only a high status, but also a bonus to trigger the task.

Princess Charlene Herbert was killed, according to common sense, it is normal to kill and injure several princes or princesses in the struggle for power, but the old king sealed the city again, sent Heslet to the front line, and gave Su Xiao the temporary power of life and death, which is inevitably a big fuss.

This is not the case, if other princes or princesses are killed, the old king will turn a blind eye, but Princess Charlene Herbert cannot, not how much the old king loves Charlene Herbert, but that Charlene Herbert is too young.

Princess Charlene Herbert was only 13 years old, and she was a princess that the old king had acquired in his old age, which was something that no one expected.

Sharlene Herbert spent her childhood and adolescence in the royal palace until she was 15 years old, and after the age of 15 she was given a fief, although it is unlikely that she will receive a fief at the moment.

The 13-year-old princess obviously had nothing to do with the power struggle, she was nominally not eligible to participate in the power struggle, so her murder was the assassination of a member of the royal family, which must not be left unattended.

The old king's expression seemed to be calm, but he was very angry, no matter who did such a thing, as long as the other party was still in the kingdom, the other party would die, this was a provocation to the royal family and the entire power system.

"Where is the body?"

Su Xiao opened his mouth and talked to the old king, he cherished every word like gold.

"Garden."

“……”

Su Xiao got up and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall, followed by Bu Buwang, the five people who originally pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and in less than two minutes, only the old king was left.

Looking at Su Xiao who was walking towards the outside of the banquet hall, many officials were confused, and those wealthy businessmen were also blinded, even the eldest prince, the third prince and others were a little confused.

"Third brother, something big seems to have happened in the royal capital."

The eldest prince came to the prince with a wine glass and a gentle smile on his face.

"You're still smiling so fakely, you don't know what's going on?"

The third prince glanced at the eldest prince and clinked glasses with the eldest prince, the two were harmonious on the surface, but the content of the conversation was-for-tat.

The departure of Su Xiao and the others made the eldest prince and the others no longer have the heart to continue to participate in the banquet, but the old king was still there, and the old king did not leave, and none of them dared to leave first.

As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the banquet hall, five Praetorian Guards in black armor were already waiting at the door.

"It turned out to be you."

Su Xiao's gaze swept over these five people, these five Praetorian Guards acted with Su Xiao last night, not to mention anything else, the execution of these five people alone is at the top level.

You don't have to think about it to know that these five people were sent by the old king.

"Let's go."

Su Xiao led Bubuwang and five Praetorian Guards to the rear of the palace, where Sharlene Herbert's body was found.

Walking on the way to the back garden of the palace, Su Xiao began to think about the general situation of this matter.

First of all, this side quest is different from the previous purge, although the difficulty of the purge task is relatively high, but you only need to kill a few mission objectives, you only need to have strong combat power, and the 'side quest: purge' is not difficult.

The current side quest is different, this is obviously a reasoning task, according to the past of the Demon Castle World, Su Xiao is very good at his reasoning ability, although it is not weak, but it is above average, and it is completely impossible for Conan to possess it.

Therefore, Su Xiao was mentally prepared for the failure of the side quest, but he would not give up directly, the reward of the quest was a pale golden gem after all, and the rarity of the gem did not need to be said.

After going around the palace a few times, Su Xiao came to a garden that was not too big.

The garden is covered with a large number of vines, a large area of lush greenery, which the old king was very fond of.

Stepping on the soft lawn, Su Xiao came to the center of the garden, there was a huge fountain, the sound of water came far away, and the water vapor made the garden a lot cooler, God knows how to build this thing with the technological level of this world.

"My lord, the corpse is over here."

Under the guidance of a Praetorian Guard, Su Xiao came to the second half of the garden, where there were several flower beds piled up with white stones, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafted into the air, and the fragrance of flowers was mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Next to a flower bed is lying a girl about 1.3 meters tall, the girl is wearing a white dress, and at this moment the white dress has been infected with blood, this is Princess Charlene Herbert.

This is obviously the first scene, more than a dozen royal guards are guarding the scene, forbidding others to destroy the scene, their faces are very ugly, because the palace is protected by them, and in their layers of protection, Princess Charlene Herbert was killed.

Su Xiao ignored the dozen or so royal family guards, and they also knew what Su Xiao was here to do, so they all got out of the way.

"Let me ...... In the past, take a look... Charlie. ”

A female voice came, and just by listening to the voice, I knew that she couldn't cry.

"Queen, calm down, Lord Iron Hand will find the murderer."

"You get out, you get out, what are you doing every day, why did Shalene die in the garden of the palace, she never even left the palace! She's still so young......"

Under the protection of a group of guards, a woman who was so grieved that she almost fainted staggered forward, and the guards tried to stop the woman, but they could only kneel in a ball to stop the woman from moving forward.

"Subordinates should be damned."

A guard in ornate armor knelt in front of the woman, he was the head of the royal family's direct escort regiment, there were many legions in the kingdom, and the most senior legion commander was Heslet, except for the royal legion, most of the legions were under the jurisdiction of Heslet.

The commander of the royal family's direct escort regiment is named Karen, who is sturdy and about 35 years old.

Su Xiao squatted in front of Charlene Herbert's corpse, and he hooked his finger at one of the Praetorian Guards beside him, who immediately leaned over.

"Keep them quiet."

"Yes."

The Praetorian Guard didn't care about the queen and the captain of the Karen army, he walked directly in front of the group and looked directly at everyone.

"Quiet."

Seeing this Praetorian Guard, Captain Karen's face changed slightly, but the queen didn't care at all, and continued to cry loudly.

This cry attracted Su Xiao, he had some doubts in his heart, if this mother was heartbroken before, then he could understand it, now even a fool can see that he is observing the corpse, is useless crying more important than looking for the real murderer? Don't think that queens are just ordinary women, they are all daughters of high-ranking officials or great nobles.

What made Su Xiao even more puzzled was that Shalene Herbert's body had been dragged, although the other party had covered it up very well, but it couldn't deceive Bubuwang's sense of smell, and looking at the swelling of the queen's eyes, she seemed to have been crying here for a long time, which didn't make sense.
