Chapter 1206: Astonishing efficiency

In a residential house in Buwa Village, this was a somewhat dilapidated residential house. The lower part of the house was built of rock, and the upper part was wooden, which could be called warm in summer and cool in winter.

The simple house could be described as having nothing but four walls. A black-yellow wooden table, two wooden stools with broken legs, and a bed severely eaten by insects, which seemed to collapse at any time.

On this bed that would collapse at any time, a middle-aged man with a full beard was sleeping soundly. He seemed to have worked for a whole day, and the hoe in the corner was still stained with some moist mud.

A smell of sweat permeated the room, combined with the middle-aged man's loud snoring, no matter how you looked at it, this was a bachelor farmer who had worked for a whole day.

If Su Xiao hadn't received accurate news, even if this farmer walked in front of him, he wouldn't have linked the other party to the Little Princess murder case.

Now there were only two possibilities: one was that Il-Duo was lying, and the other was that this "farmer" was disguised too well.

"Eh~"

The farmer in deep sleep scratched his face, smacked his lips, and turned over to continue sleeping. Don't mention how sweet he slept.

According to the intelligence provided by Il-Duo, the mastermind Lupo had no combat power. His status among the Necromancers was not low, but his ability was not very suitable for combat. His strength lay in his IQ and layout ability.

If this farmer was really Lupo, then his layout ability was very terrifying. He was not in the Royal Capital, but he made the Royal Family restless. If it weren't for the Old King's adaptability in the banquet hall being too strong, his plan would have succeeded.

Su Xiao gently pushed open the wooden window.

Zzz~

A subtle sound that could almost be ignored appeared. The farmer lying on the bed in the room suddenly opened his eyes and reached for under the pillow.

With a boom, stones and wood chips flew. Su Xiao rushed through the wall of the house directly and appeared in front of the farmer's bed instantly.

Bang!

Su Xiao punched the "farmer" in the lower abdomen. With a crisp sound, a hole appeared in the wooden bed under the farmer. The thing in the farmer's hand flew out; it was a green metal ball.

Su Xiao grabbed the metal ball, and high heat came from his palm. He raised his foot and kicked a wooden board floating in mid-air. This wooden board shot toward the top with a whoosh.

The wooden board pierced through the roof with a sound, making a hole half a meter in size. Su Xiao threw the metal ball in his hand upward. The metal ball flew out of the house from that hole and soon disappeared into the night sky. Su Xiao was preventing the metal ball from colliding. This thing should be some kind of weapon.

Su Xiao punched the farmer in the chin, and the farmer was knocked unconscious.

Boom!

A loud noise came over Buwa Village. A fireball about three hundred meters in diameter appeared. The residents in the village were all awakened, and some even let out screams.

The flames fell from the sky and gradually died out in mid-air, not causing a fire.

Undoubtedly, this farmer was the mastermind, Necromancer Lupo. Otherwise, how could a farmer have such an aggressive reaction?

【Hint: The Hunter has successfully captured the mastermind - Lupo. After handing Lupo to the Old King, the hidden side quest - Royal Secret will be completed, and the follow-up quest will be activated.】

Su Xiao picked up Lupo, walked out of the house, and left Buwa Village with Bubu Wang, heading straight for the Royal Capital.

Along the way, Su Xiao checked the tools or mechanisms Lupo carried. It had to be said that this guy was a ruthless person. Not to mention carrying explosives at any time, he also hid three poison needles on his body, and a poison sac was implanted under the skin of his wrist.

Lupo might also have hidden other means of suicide. This guy was ready to die at any time to prevent leaking the secrets of the Necromancers.

To avoid Lupo committing suicide immediately after waking up, Su Xiao took out a metal syringe from the storage space. Inside the syringe was a pink solution.

This thing was brought out by Su Xiao from the Hunter world. It was a venom secreted by a tentacle-like plant in Kukuru Mountain, a paralytic toxin. It wouldn't be fatal, but the paralysis was extremely strong. This thing hadn't been certified by the Reincarnation Paradise before and was an item Su Xiao spent Paradise Coins to bring out of the Hunter world.

After being injected with this thing, Lupo didn't even blink his eyelids, let alone commit suicide.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned to the Royal Capital and arrived in front of the main gate of the Wang Gong.

The Wang Gong at night was an absolute restricted area. Except for a few Royal Family members, no one was allowed to enter or exit. Fortunately, Su Xiao was not in this category. Moreover, he had the Old King's Gold Lion pendant.

Successfully entering the Wang Gong, Su Xiao was led by two Imperial Guards to the door of the Kingdom Council Hall. The Old King and several princes and princesses were "reminiscing" inside.

Only five princes and princesses were qualified to reminisce with the Old King. They were the Great Prince with astonishing financial resources, the Third Prince with high military affinity, the Seventh Prince representing the Holy Warriors, the Second Princess who was involved in both black and white, and the Sixth Princess with an extreme style of conduct.

Except for the Sixth Princess, Su Xiao had seen the other princes or princesses. The Sixth Princess wore a black gauze dress and was about 20 years old. In fact, she was already 27 years old. This was a beauty who smiled very beautifully, a snake-and-scorpion beauty. It was said that she had a hobby of collecting the eyeballs of powerhouses.

"Father King, Iron Hand coming to see you so late, perhaps there is some good news?"

The Great Prince sat closest to the Old King, the smile on his face still so gentle.

"Perhaps."

The Old King didn't expect Su Xiao to bring any good news. The whole thing happened around ten o'clock in the day, and the whole thing looked carefully arranged. It was impossible to find out the clues so quickly.

"Perhaps Iron Hand came to ask Father King for help? I learned a little about what happened during the day. It is very likely that the Necromancers did it."

The Sixth Princess's voice was very clear. When her eyes looked at which prince or princess, the other party would avoid her gaze because in the eyes of other princes or princesses, the Sixth Princess was a mad dog. No matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't hide her mad dog-like personality.

Bang.

The door of the Kingdom Council Hall was pushed open. The Great Prince, Third Prince, and others were all startled, thinking that an assassin had come. The Old King rubbed his forehead lightly. This old lion was already used to it.

"Iron Hand, haven't rested so late?"

Because there were "outsiders" present, the Old King didn't use his usual tone. If it were only Su Xiao and the Old King, the Old King's first sentence would likely be "Iron Hand, come forward" or "How is the matter handled," clearly much more casual than now.

"Hmm."

Su Xiao's answer made several princes and princesses somewhat surprised. This answer was too casual. Their eyes looked toward the Old King. The Old King's expression didn't change at all. Perhaps this was the daily attitude of the two.

At this moment, the Great Prince, Third Prince, Seventh Prince, Second Princess, and Sixth Princess were all very enthusiastic in their hearts. They simultaneously understood that the person the Old King trusted most was not four people, but two people, namely Iron Hand and Kingdom Legion Commander Heshiliet. If they could get Iron Hand's support...

"Mastermind."

Su Xiao threw Lupo, whom he was carrying in his hand, onto the ground. At this moment, Lupo was still in the appearance of a farmer.

"This is..."

The Old King frowned. He felt that the possibility of the mastermind behind this matter being human was not high, but he thought that this human might be disguised by a Necromancer.

"He is Lupo, Necromancer."

"Lupo."

The Old King slowly stood up from the throne.

"Father King, be careful..."

The Great Prince also made a gesture to get up, and the Old King waved his hand.

"The mastermind is Necromancer Lupo. His known helpers are three Necromancers: Dunke Nick, Sajia, and Il-Duo.

Yesterday, the Little Princess died in the hands of Legion Commander Kalun. The Queen drank poison to delay me. All this was to attract my attention, lead me away, and carry out an assassination in the banquet hall, but the assassination failed."

Su Xiao briefly narrated the whole thing. Some intelligence the Old King must have learned before, and now the whole thing was connected.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the relatively young Seventh Prince's mouth opened and closed. He was shocked by Su Xiao's efficiency. Such a big thing, less than 12 hours after the incident, a series of people were all dug out, including big figures like Dunke Nick.

"What about Dunke Nick?"

The Old King of course knew who Dunke Nick was. This was a name that could make him unable to sleep at night.

"Slaughtered."

"What about the other two?"

"Slaughtered together. The corpses can be sent to the Wang Gong early tomorrow morning."

"Hmm."

The Old King sat back on the throne, and he let out a long breath.

Several princes and princesses looked at each other. They finally understood today why Iron Hand had those privileges that seemed to be yellow-haired. The efficiency at the moment was too terrifying.

They didn't know that this was Iron Hand. Although the position was not high, he had no military power, financial power, and couldn't manage any officials. Moreover, the risk was extremely high, and he would offend many people. But Iron Hand was the person the old lion trusted most. During the power struggle, once these princes or princesses did something too outrageous, such as using means like colluding with the enemy to exclude dissidents, then Iron Hand was their nightmare.

"There is one more thing. Kingdom Finance Officer Rowan Harvey has betrayed the country."

Su Xiao said an explosive piece of news, and the Council Hall was dead silent. ===== CHAPTER 1207 =====
