Chapter 35: Amazing Efficiency
In a house in the village of Bois, this is a somewhat dilapidated house, the lower part of the house is made of rocks, and the upper part is made of wood, which can be described as warm in summer and cool in winter.
The humble house can be described as a house with four walls, a black and yellow wooden table, two wooden benches with broken legs, and a badly moth-eaten bed, which seem to collapse at any moment.
On the bed, which was about to collapse, a middle-aged man with a full beard was sleeping soundly, he seemed to have been working all day, and the hoe in the corner was still a little wet with dirt.
The smell of sweat permeated the room, combined with the loud snoring of the middle-aged man, no matter how you look at it, this is a single farmer who has worked all day.
If Su Xiao hadn't gotten accurate information, even if the farmer walked in front of him, he wouldn't have linked the other party to the murder of the little princess.
Now there are only two possibilities, one is that Ildo is lying, and the other is that the 'farmer' is too well disguised.
"Uh~"
The sleeping farmer scratched his face, turned over and continued to sleep, not to mention how sweet his sleep was.
According to the information provided by Ildo, Ruper, the main messenger behind the scenes, has no combat power, and his status in the necromantic clan is not low, but his ability is not very suitable for combat, and his strength lies in his IQ and layout ability.
If this farmer was really Ruper, then his layout skills would be terrible, and he was not in the royal capital, but he made the royal family uneasy, and if it weren't for the old king's adaptability in the banquet hall, his plan would have succeeded.
Su Xiao gently pushed open the wooden window.
Chirping~
A faint sound appeared, and the farmer lying on the bed in the room suddenly opened his eyes and reached under the pillow.
Boom! Stones and sawdust splashed, and Su Xiao directly rushed through the walls of the house and instantly appeared in front of the farmer's bed.
Bang!
Su Xiao smashed his fist on the 'farmer''s lower abdomen, and there was a crisp click, and a hole appeared in the wooden bed under the farmer, and the thing in his hand flew out, which was a green metal ball.
Su Xiao grabbed the metal ball, the high temperature came in the palm of his hand, and he raised his foot and kicked on a wooden board that was floating in the air, and the wooden board swished upward.
The wooden board hit through the roof in response, making a hole half a meter in size, Su Xiao threw the metal ball in his hand upward, and the metal ball flew out of the house from there to the hole, and immediately disappeared into the night sky, Su Xiao This is to prevent the metal ball from being collided, this thing should be some kind of weapon.
Su Xiao punched the farmer in the jaw, and the farmer was knocked unconscious.
Rumble!
A loud bang rang out over the village of Bois, and a fireball with a diameter of three hundred meters appeared, and the residents of the village were awakened, and some even screamed.
The flames fell from the sky and gradually disappeared in mid-air, but did not cause a fire.
Needless to say, this farmer is the main messenger behind the scenes, the necromantic Ruper, otherwise how could a farmer react so aggressively?
[Hint: The Hunter has successfully captured Ruper, the main messenger behind the scenes, and after handing Ruper to the old king, he will complete the hidden side quest - Secrets of the Royal Family and activate the follow-up mission.] 】
Su Xiao picked up Ruper and walked out of the house, he took Bubuwang out of Buwa Village and went straight to the direction of the royal capital.
Along the way, Su Xiao checked the tools or mechanisms carried by Ruper, and I have to say that this guy is a ruthless man, not to mention carrying explosives at any time, he also has three poison needles hidden in his body, and a poison sac implanted under the skin of his wrist.
Ruper is likely hiding other means of suicide, and this guy is ready to die at any time to prevent the necromancy's secrets from being revealed.
In order to prevent Ruper from committing suicide immediately after waking up, Su Xiao took out a metal syringe from the storage space, and the syringe contained a pink solution.
This thing was brought out by Su Xiao from the Hunter World, it was the venom secreted by a tentacle-like plant in the Withered Mountain, a paralyzing toxinoid, which would not be lethal, but it was extremely paralyzing, this thing had not been certified by the Reincarnation Paradise before, and it was an item that Su Xiao brought out of the Hunter World with Paradise Coins.
Being injected with this thing, Ruper couldn't even blink an eyelid, let alone kill himself.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned to the royal capital and came to the main gate of the palace.
The palace at night is an absolute forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter or leave except for a few royal families, but fortunately, Su Xiao is not in this ranks, and he also has the golden lion pendant of the old king.
Successfully entering the palace, Su Xiao was led by two Praetorian Guards to the door of the kingdom chamber, where the old king and several princes and princesses were 'catching up'.
There are only five princes and princesses who are qualified to catch up with the old king, they are the eldest prince with amazing wealth, the third prince with a high affinity with the army, the seventh prince who represents the holy warriors, the second princess who takes it all in black and white, and the sixth princess who acts in an extreme style.
In addition to the six princesses, the rest of the princes or princesses Su Xiao have seen, the six princesses are wearing a black gauze skirt, the age is about 20 years old, in fact she is 27 years old, this is a beautiful beauty with a smile, femme fatale, it is said that she has a hobby of collecting the eyeballs of the strong.
"Father, maybe there is some good news for the Iron Hand to see you so late?"
The eldest prince sat closest to the old king, and the smile on his face was still so gentle.
"Perhaps."
The old king didn't expect Su Xiao to bring any good news, the matter happened around ten o'clock in the day, and the whole thing was carefully arranged at a glance, and it was impossible to find out so quickly.
"Maybe the Iron Hand has come to ask my father for help? I've learned a little bit about what happened during the day, and it's probably the Necromancy's doing. ”
The voice of the sixth princess is very clear, and when her eyes look at any prince or princess, the other party will stagger their gaze from her, because in the eyes of other princes or princesses, the sixth princess is a mad dog, no matter how beautiful she is, she can't hide her mad dog-like personality.
Bang.
The door of the kingdom chamber was pushed open, and the eldest prince, the third prince and others were startled, and thought that an assassin was coming, and the old king rubbed his forehead, this old lion was used to it.
"Iron Hand, haven't you rested so late?"
Because of the presence of 'outsiders', the old king was not in an ordinary tone, if there were only Su Xiao and the old king, the old king's first sentence would probably be 'Iron hand, come forward' or 'How things are done', which is obviously much more casual than now.
"Hmm."
Su Xiao's answer surprised several princes and princesses, this answer was too casual, their eyes looked at the old king, the old king's expression did not change in any way, maybe this is the daily attitude of the two.
At this moment, the hearts of the eldest prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, the second princess, and the sixth princess were all very hot, and they also learned that the old king trusted not four people the most, but two people, namely the Iron Hand and the Captain of the Kingdom Legion, Heslet, if they could get the support of the Iron Hand......
"The mastermind behind the scenes."
Su Xiao threw the Ruper in his hand to the ground, and at this moment Ruper was still a farmer.
"It's ......"
The old king frowned, he felt that it was unlikely that a human was behind this, but he thought that this human might be disguised by a necromancy.
"He's Ruper, Necromancy."
"Ruper."
The old king slowly stood up from his throne.
"Father, be careful......"
The eldest prince also stood up, and the old king waved his hand.
"The main messenger is Ruper, the necromancer, and his known helpers are three necromancers, Dunk Nick, Sagar, and Ildor.
Yesterday the little princess died at the hands of the Captain of the Karen Legion, and the queen drank poison to delay me, all in order to attract my attention, to draw me away, and to carry out an assassination in the banquet hall, but the assassination failed. “
Su Xiao briefly described the whole thing, some information the old king must have known before, and now the whole thing is connected.
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the younger Seventh Prince's mouth opened and closed, he was shocked by Su Xiao's efficiency, this kind of big event, less than 12 hours after the incident, since a series of people were all found out, including big people like Dunk Nick.
"Where's Dunk Nick?"
Of course the old king knew who Dunk Nick was, and it was the name that would keep him awake at night.
"Slaughtered."
"The other two?"
"Slaughtered together, the corpse will be delivered to the palace early tomorrow morning."
"Hmm."
The old king sat back on his throne and let out a long breath.
Several princes and princesses looked at each other, and they finally understood why the Iron Hand had what seemed to be Huang's privileges today, and the current efficiency was too terrifying.
They don't know that this is the Iron Hand, although the position is not high, there is no military power, financial power, and can not manage any officials, and the risk is extremely high, and it will offend many people, but the Iron Hand is the most trusted person of the old lion, during the power struggle, once these princes or princesses do too out-of-the-ordinary things, such as using means such as collaborating with the enemy to exclude dissidents, the Iron Hand is their nightmare.
"One more thing, the kingdom's treasurer, Rowan Harvey, has committed treason."
Su Xiao said an explosive news, and there was a dead silence in the meeting hall.
