Chapter 23

Gerald cannot see any clues from Su Mo's expression.

He glances at several Duke heirs and says: "Of course not, does the Count know that in the Royal Capital, we are basically in an open-card state with the protagonists."

Open-card state?

Su Mo looks at him: "Since this is the case, why don't you solve them?"

Gerald reveals a bitter smile: "If they were so easy to solve, they would have been solved long ago. In fact, if they were not in the Royal Capital, they would be much easier to solve."

"Is that so?"

Su Mo's tone is still flat.

These few people looking for him, the main reason is probably that they have developed suspicions.

Otherwise, they can't solve it, what is the use of looking for Su Mo, a tiny Count?

These few people don't know Su Mo's other identity.

Gerald nods and says: "It's not so easy to kill people in the Royal Capital. Even if we are nobles, in fact, the restrictions on nobles in the Royal Capital are even greater."

Su Mo asks: "How many of them are there?"

He doesn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore.

Why they can't solve it, Su Mo doesn't need to think to know the reason.

In the Royal Capital, wanting to make a move, how can it be so easy?

The protagonist's early warning range is larger, and as long as the protagonist detects danger, there are too many ways to save their life.

Just like that pay-to-win protagonist Li Mang who hid in the Saint Moon Magic Academy before.

These protagonists all have golden fingers, as long as they show a little talent, entering the magic academy in the Royal Capital, or other forces that can protect them, is simply too simple.

"At first there were only a few, but in the past few days, protagonists have been arriving continuously, and the number of protagonists in the Royal Capital has already reached more than a dozen. If this continues, their number will increase, which is exactly what we are worried about."

Gerald says.

Su Mo understands their worry.

These protagonists have also discovered the benefits of being in the Royal Capital.

In other places, although they are better at hiding, not every protagonist's golden finger is suitable for hiding all the time.

Some protagonists' golden fingers need to move around.

Always hiding, their development is also limited.

In the Royal Capital, as long as these protagonists are careful and don't give the villains a chance to make a move, they can develop faster.

After all, which place has as many people and experts as the Royal Capital?

Just like that protagonist with the attribute-picking system, if he comes to the Royal Capital... his development will be much faster.

The game has started for a few days, and many protagonists have reacted.

On the protagonist's forum, maybe someone is sharing their experience.

Therefore, the number of protagonists in the Royal Capital will probably only increase.

"We also thought about intercepting outside the Royal Capital at first, but there are too many Royal Capitals, and these protagonists have a larger early warning range than us. As long as they are careful, they can always bypass us. As long as we can't discover them, it's hard for our subordinates to distinguish them."

Gerald says again.

These protagonists in the Royal Capital have already made him feel tricky.

As for why they don't go outside to search...

Just kidding, the New Moon Kingdom is so big, the chance of them finding them is even lower.

The other protagonists Su Mo killed, except for one who delivered himself to the door, the others were also discovered by the powerful intelligence organization he built.

This intelligence organization took Su Mo a few years, but it is not omnipotent.

Even if some suspected protagonists were discovered, because of the other party's status, the difficulty for people in the intelligence organization to take them away is not small.

In addition, there are more hidden protagonists who have not been discovered.

After all, the New Moon Kingdom is a prosperous kingdom with a population of over 100 million and a vast territory.

These villains in the Royal Capital, although their status is higher, cannot compare to Su Mo in the collection of intelligence.

On the contrary, guarding the Royal Capital might be able to find an opportunity to kill one or two protagonists.

"Where are they?"

Su Mo asks again.

Gerald glances at the few Duke heirs sitting in the upper seat again.

After these few Duke heirs nod, Gerald says:

"There should be three to five in the church, two of whom have joined the reserve group of the Temple Knight Order. These few protagonists are the hardest to kill. The risk of killing people in the church is too great, not to mention they are also very careful."

The church!

These protagonists are indeed smart.

It's one thing to be in the Royal Capital, but they actually joined the church.

People in the church, even the King cannot move them at will.

Even if they sent someone to kill them, once it is found out, the consequences will be very serious.

Although if you do it secretly, it may not be found out, but those protagonists are not stupid either. People just hide in the Royal Capital, how can you kill them?

"Besides the protagonists in the church, there are a few in the New Moon Magic Academy, one of whom has become a closed-door disciple of a Sanctuary-level expert. As long as he doesn't leave the Royal Capital... the possibility of us wanting to kill him is too small."

Gerald continues.

Sure enough, there are others hiding in the magic academy.

"There are also two protagonists in the Royal Palace Guard. Although their status is not high, in the Royal Capital, it is not easy for us to deal with them. We have no chance to intervene in the Queen's guard."

"There is another one who shined in the official examination just now and is also valued..."

Gerald continues.

Soon, they explained the situation of these protagonists in the Royal Capital roughly.

These protagonists are indeed hard for them to kill.

Of course, hard to kill, it doesn't mean they can't be killed.

They are also preparing, such as preparing to invite some powerful assassins.

The difficulty is that in the Royal Capital, the risk of making a move is too great.

The time for making a move is too short, and you can't drag it out. If you drag it out, you're done.

Once a Sanctuary-level expert perceives the fluctuation of battle, they will arrive very quickly, and the possibility of escaping is very small.

"Among these, the most troublesome protagonist should be in the church. I even suspect that there is likely a gold-level protagonist hidden inside!"

Gerald says again.

Gold-level protagonist!

The level of a protagonist does not represent their strength, but represents the level of their golden finger, as well as the luck value they possess.

If there really is a gold-level protagonist... then the other party must own a gold-level golden finger.

Gold-level golden finger... whether it is the growth speed or the growth limit, it is much higher.

"Of course, this is just a guess, and we haven't verified it yet."

Gerald adds a sentence.

Su Mo has a general understanding of the situation.

"Therefore, I want to invite the Count to join our New Moon Villain Alliance, otherwise, once they grow up, we will all be in trouble."

After Gerald finished explaining the general situation, he formally explained the purpose of his visit.

"As for the issue of benefits after killing the protagonist, it is definitely whoever contributes the most gets the biggest benefit."

He adds another sentence quickly.

"New Moon Villain Alliance?"

Su Mo asks.

Gerald says "Hmm", and says: "Established by several Duke heirs, this villain alliance already has quite a few villains who have joined. In the future, if we can clear out the protagonists in the New Moon Kingdom, we can also group up and further march into the entire World of Gods."

After speaking, Gerald looks at Su Mo expectantly.

"Not interested."

However, what he waited for was Su Mo's three words. ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
