Chapter 1177

【Main Mission: Crown of Power】

Difficulty Level: Lv. 30

Mission Introduction: Choose a prince or princess and make them successfully inherit the throne.

Mission Information: The Hunter has 15 natural days of observation time.

Mission Deadline: 30 natural days.

Mission Reward: 4 true attribute points, any skill already mastered by the self increases by 1 level.

Mission Penalty: None

Su Xiao successfully activated the main mission, and this main mission is very friendly.

First, Su Xiao has 15 days of observation time before choosing which prince or princess to support. Although he cannot support in public due to the Hand of Iron's identity, he also has a great advantage.

Secondly, there is no penalty for this main mission, which is likely related to "paid" worlds like this Native World. Therefore, the requirements of the main mission are relatively loose.

Not only that, the deadline for this mission is very long, and the time is enough for Su Xiao to explore this Native World, such as completing the adventurer team's promotion or looking for the ruins of the Law-Breaking Shadow, etc.

The adventurer team promotion mission has not been activated yet, and there is no clue about the Law-Breaking Shadow ruins. Fortunately, the time is ample, so there is no need to worry about these two aspects for the time being.

The first thing now is to sort out the main mission clearly. After all, the mission reward this time is really too generous. Not to mention the 4 true attributes, the "any skill already mastered by the self increases by 1 level" is very tempting.

Su Xiao had received this kind of reward once before. He used that reward to forcibly upgrade the Supreme Blade MAX-level ability by one level. The benefits were obvious. If it weren't for that upgrade, Zhan Long Shan couldn't have been promoted to gold quality so quickly.

Therefore, Su Xiao must try his best to complete the main mission this time. His several MAX-level abilities all have upgrade value. The upgrade of each MAX-level skill will significantly improve his combat power.

"Calculate the time, my several descendants will arrive early tomorrow morning. Tonight, you help me deal with a few people."

The Old King took a small roll of parchment from his bosom. Su Xiao walked forward a few steps to the Old King and took the parchment.

"This time, there is no need to let them disappear secretly. The new successor to the throne cannot convince the public. You need to let them know what the end is for opposing the surname "Herbert." No, it is to let everyone in the Royal Capital know that you, the Hand of Iron, are the sharpest blade of me, Bai Herbert."

The Old King patted Su Xiao's forearm. He meant to let Su Xiao get rid of dissidents openly, thereby paving the way for the subsequent power struggle and the new king's ascension.

What Su Xiao needs to do is very simple, which is to terrify those with ulterior motives. Tonight, there must be a bloody storm in the Royal Capital.

"Just do it, take 50 Royal direct guards, no, for you, 20 people are enough."

The Old King's hand dropped, and he began to cough dryly again.

"No problem."

Su Xiao turned and walked toward the outside of the council hall. He didn't pay a great salute to the Old King, nor did he use any honorifics. This is the Hand of Iron. It is enough to help the Old King get rid of dissidents. There is no point in doing those cumbersome rituals.

"If, I say if..."

The Old King suddenly spoke, and Su Xiao's footsteps stopped.

"If Hardy does something out of line, give him a chance to change."

The Old King closed his eyes tightly. Hardy in his mouth is the eldest prince, a prince who is 47 years old. For his eldest son, the Old King gave him an extra privilege.

"Understood, eldest prince, one chance not to be killed."

This sentence was the longest sentence Su Xiao said after entering the council hall. The Old King was a bit surprised. He obviously hadn't heard the Hand of Iron say so many words at the same time.

In the past, this Hand of Iron was basically: "Hmm, know, clear, good, obey, killed."

"Really rare."

The Old King didn't suspect anything. Su Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems there is no need to kill his way out of the Wang Gong.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of the council hall and left. Only the Old King was left in the council hall. He sat on the throne, and those turbid eyes narrowed.

"My descendants, what... surprises will you bring me?"

The Old King struggled to sit up. He, who was in tatters, stood in front of the throne. He had won in the power struggle 45 years ago. As a price, he personally got rid of all his closest relatives, including his father king.

In the Wang Gong, Su Xiao put the small roll of parchment in his hand into his storage space. He didn't expect to perform the duties of the Hand of Iron tonight.

When Su Xiao walked out of the Wang Gong, he found Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang observing a Royal direct guard. The guard stood straight, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also sat straight, staring big-eyed at the guard.

The guard's heart was collapsing. He knew the origin of this "dog," so he couldn't offend it.

Finding Su Xiao coming out, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted his head at the guard, meaning to let you go today, see you next time.

After Su Xiao left the Wang Gong courtyard, he headed straight for the Hand of Iron's residence.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao returned to the Hand of Iron's residence. Only then did he have time to carefully check this residence.

The courtyard of the residence is very large, but the courtyard is overgrown with weeds. Looking at the appearance, it hasn't been taken care of for a long time. The pool is already half-dried, and there are no living things in the miserable green pool water.

Su Xiao was surprised to find that there were no servants in the Hand of Iron's residence. No, there were two servants, which were the two little luoli who looked only about ten years old.

In fact, the Hand of Iron is not without servants, but they were all driven away by the previous Hand of Iron. As for the previous bed-warming maid skinning incident, that was not because the two maids fell asleep while warming the bed, but because the two maids were eyes and ears planted by an official. After being exposed, they were dealt with directly.

Planting eyes and ears here as the Hand of Iron has great value, sometimes avoiding a fatal disaster.

Maybe the previous Hand of Iron really couldn't find any servants he could trust, so he bought two slaves from a slave trader, which were the two little luoli.

The kingdom prohibits human trafficking, but one type of special human trafficking is not prohibited, which is trafficking humans with Necromancer blood.

Necromancers are a kind of humanoid creature, and they can give birth to offspring with humans. These offspring are called mixed-bloods. A small part of these mixed-bloods will be sold as slaves. The standard is that human blood is more than twice that of Necromancer blood.

This kind of mixed-blood is not dangerous, and so far no special abilities have been found. The only special place is that the strength is greater than ordinary people, that's all.

There are no benefits, but the disadvantages are great. According to past records, the lifespan of mixed-bloods is only half that of humans and one-tenth that of Necromancers, with an average lifespan of about 30–40 years.

To buy these two mixed-bloods, the previous Hand of Iron paid a large amount of gold coins. These two mixed-bloods have no combat power, but they have been trained by slave traders and are proficient in housework, cooking, bed-warming, and other life matters. More importantly, the possibility of these two mixed-bloods being eyes and ears for others is very small.

Just as Su Xiao walked into the courtyard, Amu greeted him, carrying half a rockery in his hand. As for why it was half, the tooth marks on it could already explain this problem.

Su Xiao really didn't expect that Amu, this idiot, would even gnaw on the rockery when hungry. If left alone, this residence might be razed to the ground in less than two days. Fortunately, he had power in his hands, and Amu's diet in this world was no problem.

When Su Xiao pushed open the bedroom door, he found that the two little luoli were still facing the wall, and their shoulders were twitching from time to time while facing the wall.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair and took out a cigarette to light it.

"You two, come here."

The two little luoli turned around. At this time, they had already cried into flower faces, and hurriedly ran to kneel under Su Xiao.

"If you dare to cry again, I will slaughter you."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. He was hesitating whether to clear these two out of the residence. If he did that, there would be no one else in the residence, but doing so had a chance of making people suspicious.

Su Xiao's words could only be described as immediate. The two little luoli stopped crying immediately. One of them had twin ponytails, and the other had a side ponytail. Heaven knows why the two sisters were obsessed with the ponytail hairstyle.

"Tell me what you two can do."

Su Xiao didn't want to put two vases in the residence, and he thought the previous Hand of Iron wouldn't get two vases either.

"My lord, we can do laundry, cooking..."

The younger sister among the little luoli was obviously smarter. She listed dozens of things she was good at. Her sister looked dull, and eight or nine out of ten were still in a state of panic.

"Go cook, you don't need to do anything else, as long as you can do this one thing well."

"Really? My lord won't punish us anymore?"

The older sister among the little luoli was obviously a bit cute and dull. Her sister wished she could bite her. This was simply asking for trouble.

"Give you... one hour."

"No problem, my lord, our cooking will definitely satisfy you."

The younger sister among the little luoli showed a smile, but what she didn't know was that Su Xiao's "cooking" was calculating Amu's appetite, which was not an easy task.

If the two sisters could solve Amu's food problem, then they would be useful. If they couldn't solve it, then they would be useless.
