Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Price of Poverty
"Not for the time being, where are the people?"
Su Xiao opened his eyes, he took a nap just now, after all, he was about to enter the Dead Silent City, and after arriving there, it was still unknown whether he would have a chance to rest.
"Someone."
Wolfer looked at the door and coughed lightly, the smile on his face disappearing, and he already had a sense of the majesty of the people in power.
Two guards dragged cloth bags into the room.
"Woo! Woo! ”
The people in the cloth bag were struggling, seeing this, Wu Fu leaned over next to Su Xiao's ear and whispered: "My lord, this transcendent is the best we can find, she can block sound, perception, vibration, light sense, and even most of the energy within 300 meters, if she is disobedient, there are still four candidates for her subordinates, but the ability is very different, the best one can only block sound and a small part of the vibration." ”
"yes, got it."
"Open."
At Wuffer's orders, the cloth bag was opened, and a woman with a burlap gagged mouth appeared, apparently, the wild transcendent was very uncooperative, so Wufu transferred 1,000 border Cypriot troops to 'invite' the woman over.
"My lord, this is the 'Nodding Crow'."
Wolfer pulled out a glass bottle from his bosom, which contained a pale yellow potion.
"Woo! Woo! ”
Seeing the 'Nodding Raven' potion, the female transcendent struggled even more violently, and three long swords rested around her neck.
As soon as the female transcendent stopped struggling, the guards untied the ropes from her body and retreated to the door, which was closed but rushed into the room as soon as there was movement.
"Whew, whew...... Who are you? ”
The Female Transcendent gasped for breath, her short flaxen hair, her slim leather armor, her thick cloth jacket with many small pockets, and a loose belt around her waist, making it seem like her pants might fall off at any moment.
"I'm Wu Fu, the current Imperial Emperor."
Wu Fu looked at the female transcendent coldly, it turns out that if you can do things under Su Xiao, there are basically no good people, Wu Fu was a military ruffian when he was young, and although he was lucky enough to climb to the position of commander in middle age, he also had bad deeds, and he belonged to the kind of dirty work that would be thrown by those in power.
"Right...... Right Imperial
The female transcendent looked at Wu Fu in astonishment, although she was a wild transcendent, she also knew who the right emperor was, it was a big man who stomped his feet, and the entire Holy City, and even the entire empire would be shocked.
The female transcendent's name is Veroni, judging from the record of her 12 imprisonment times, she is not a very vicious person, these 12 prison experiences are extremely strange, fighting in a bar, accidentally injuring the uncle next door to buy groceries, 'kidnapping' a nobleman's maid, and was later blackmailed by the maid, both of them were imprisoned, stealing the guardrail of the holy city wall, and later claiming that it was caused by sleepwalking.
Judging from the sum of the 12 prison sentences for no more than two years, the worst thing she ever did was the kidnapping case.
Veroni looked at Wu Fu with stunned eyes, swallowed her saliva with a grunt, and soon, she turned her gaze to Su Xiao, because both Wu Fu and the old god stick were standing, only Su Xiao was sitting there, still holding a plate of steaming seafood noodles in his hand.
She glanced at Wu Fu, then at Su Xiao, and sighed in her heart, secretly thinking, can't this be the new king who has recently been sealed, isn't the new king a woman?
"Your name is ......"
Wolfer's fingers tapped his skull, he had too many people to come into contact with every day now that he couldn't remember Veronie's name.
"I'm Veroni, 21 years old, living outside the Holy City of Tooth of Steel, single, from ......"
"Stop, stop."
Wu Fu waved his hand and looked at Su Xiao.
"My lord, is this okay?"
Su Xiao didn't speak, just eating seafood noodles with a bald lur, looking Veroni up and down, and finally, he looked at the old god stick.
"How about this, if it doesn't work, let Wofver dispose of it."
Su Xiao's seemingly casual words made Veroni's heart chill, she could be sure that this was definitely a super big person, Youyu groveled in front of the other party, like a dog's leg, she was a wild transcendent, and she would be pinched to death in minutes.
"This man ......"
The old god immediately understood what Su Xiao meant, and began to look Veroni up and down, and Wu Fu on the side also understood that he didn't know how many times he had cooperated with Su Xiao to do this kind of thing, so he stepped forward.
"I, I'm strong, no, I'm useful, I'll ......"
"Dispose of it."
Su Xiao suddenly spoke, and the old god man sighed, pressed one hand on his chest, and said, "Poor child, God will accept you." ”
"Wait, wait, at least let me know what the hell are you going to let me do, just die like this, it's too unwilling."
Veroni actually wanted to pounce on Su Xiao many times, capture this super big man, escape from the manor with the other party as a hostage, and then fly away, and go abroad to 'graze' if it's a big deal.
"Wuffer, this is up to you, you ...... from the successor candidates"
As soon as Su Xiao spoke, Veroni suddenly burst out, and without seeing her make any movements, she had already circled behind Su Xiao and strangled Su Xiao's throat with one hand.
"Don't come here!"
Veroni roared, her arms slender but not small.
"You, and you, it's you, the right emperor of the empire, stand back! Otherwise I'll break his neck. ”
Veroni gasped, her heart pounding, and grabbed Su Xiao's neck with one arm, while Su Xiao continued to chew the noodles in her mouth.
"Calm down, if he makes any mistakes, the 370,000 soldiers in the Holy City will chop you up and feed you to the dogs, I won't let you go, and neither will Zuo Yu Walkley."
Wolfer's cheeks twitched, after all, acting is also very tiring.
"I don't care, you forced me, I was sleeping, and suddenly a bag came down, even if I die today, don't think about it, it's great to see your imperial right emperor so nervous."
Veroni looked sideways at Su Xiao, who was close at hand, and to her surprise, after Su Xiao swallowed the noodles in her mouth, she naturally picked up the white tablecloth on the side and wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth.
"You, don't move!"
"It's okay, at least the crisis response is good, so that you don't lose your judgment when you are so nervous in the Dead City."
As Su Xiao spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed Veroni's arm, Veroni retracted her arm like an electric shock, and took a few steps back.
"Your Excellency, it's good that you're satisfied, I'm still dealing with the turmoil in the south, so ......"
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
Wolfer pushed the door open and walked out of the room, leaving Veroni with a skeptical face.
"It's not important to come to you, I'm going to enter the Dead City tomorrow morning, I need your ability, and you have the right to refuse."
Su Xiao sat back in the chair, and the old god on the side looked at Veroni with gentle eyes, and said, "Child, the god of light is protecting you."
"Dead City? Isn't that a legend? ”
Veroni never mentioned refusal, because she knew that after learning the news that Su Xiao was going to enter the Dead City, her refusal would be equivalent to death.
"You don't have to worry about that, as long as you are willing to enter the Dead City, you can ask for anything."
"I want 3 million black stones!"
Veroni hesitated several times before offering this price, at least in her opinion, it was impossibly sky-high.
"Yes."
"Huh?"
Veroni took a few steps back, she originally wanted to come up with a high price, and then bargain with Su Xiao and ask Su Xiao to help her do something.
The old god walked out of the room and returned in less than half a minute.
With a snap, a large cloth bag was thrown in front of Veroni, and the currency carved from the spar fell with a clatter, reflecting a black luster in the sunlight, which was very attractive.
"It's 5 million black stones, and now it's yours."
Su Xiao wasn't worried about what Veroni would do when she arrived in Dead City, because after getting there, unless Veroni wanted to die, she could only cooperate, and Su Xiao had follow-up methods.
"I, I ......"
Veroni, who had been smashed into a repeater by money, leaned against the window, swearing to God that she was really just a lion's mouth.
Poverty limited Veroni's imagination, even if she offered 10 million black stones just now, there would only be two big cloth bags smashed in front of her, and there would be no other changes, these money were obtained by Su Xiao on the way to seize power, and it was useless to keep them.
