Chapter 1984
Su Xiao picked up the treasure chest on the ground and turned to leave. The next target: Gatekeeper - Frank.
Su Xiao really hadn't thought before that Frank, who was almost castrated by the little adjutant at the beginning, was actually one of the mission targets.
Su Xiao returned to the imperial capital overnight. At 11:00 PM, he arrived at the clothing store where Frank was. The secret prison was right underneath here.
Su Xiao stood on the roof of the clothing store. Without any movement, he leaped to the window on the third floor of the clothing store.
Opening the window easily, Su Xiao entered the room on the third floor of the clothing store. At this time, a figure was sitting in front of the fireplace in the room, throwing the last book in his hand into the fire.
"Is the Soul Walker already dead?"
It was Frank who spoke. He took off the gold-chain glasses on the bridge of his nose and also threw them into the fire pile.
"So it was you, Mr. Kukuline. Fortunately, you didn't bring your fierce adjutant. Is she really a woman?"
Frank smiled at Su Xiao. Su Xiao looked Frank up and down. It was the same feeling as before; the other party was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
"From a physiological structure perspective, she is a woman."
Su Xiao walked to the fireplace, dragged over a chair, and sat down. He felt he could learn something from Frank.
"Having such a beautiful adjutant is the dream of many men."
Frank showed a smile that all men understood. He rolled a cigarette with brown cigarette paper, struck a match with trembling hands, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath.
"Cough, cough, cough, Mr. Kukuline, what do you want to know? After asking, give me a quick death. No other requirements. In this life, I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed, and I have no regrets."
Although Frank's strength was not strong, he was facing death. He was a man.
"Bring the Key to the City of Earth."
"Sure enough, your goal is that. Truly an amazing person."
Frank's hand reached into his collar, grabbed a pendant, and snapped it off with a click.
"This is the key. By the way, let me tell you, this is something our Middleton family has guarded for dozens of generations. The Soul Speaker of this generation is actually my biological sister. I should have become the Soul Speaker, but my sister was too eager for power and even forgot about family affection."
Frank threw the key on the pendant to Su Xiao. Su Xiao caught it, and the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.
【The Hunter has obtained the Key to the City of Earth.】
"Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of generations of inheritance, most of the secrets have been lost in the inheritance. Gods will fall, what else is impossible? The soul fire of the Middleton family has long been extinguished. What is the point of believing in the so-called Moon God?"
Frank sneered, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
"Those who believe in the Moon God are nothing more than wanting to gain power, or their hearts are empty. Expectation, no, no, no, that is kneeling and begging the gods to protect them. In the final analysis, they are just a group of cowardly hypocrites. If you want to get something, you have to rely on your own hands! Wisdom! Fight for it!"
Frank puffed out his chest. What he possessed now was not obtained through a special status, but fought for by himself.
"Moon Prayer Chapter, Section 173, suffering is God's test for people. My family believed in this bullshit theory. In my opinion, never believe that suffering is worth it. Suffering is always just suffering. The only thing that can truly lead to the light is personal ability, wisdom, diligence, and doing things that ordinary people cannot do."
Frank breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had said the words that had been suppressed in his heart.
"I was born a gatekeeper. After finally becoming an imperial official, I ended up watching a prison. Perhaps this is fate. Mr. Kukuline, excuse me, do you have anything you want to ask?"
"Is Earth Dragon - Tamen also a member of your family?"
Su Xiao's third target was Earth Dragon - Tamen. This was very troublesome. The other party was the number one combat power under the Moon Goddess.
"Of course not. If my family had such a strong person, it wouldn't have declined to this extent. However, he is indeed related to my family. In rumors, Tamen ate an earth dragon to gain his current power. In fact, that is not a rumor. That earth dragon was originally raised by our Middleton family, and then it was caught and eaten by Tamen. That was the strongest human I have ever seen in my life, strong to the point you cannot imagine."
Frank was a bit helpless. He vaguely remembered riding on the back of Spa (Spa: the name of the earth dragon) when he was a child. Spa ran with him, and Spa was only cruel to enemies.
"No other questions."
D-Assassination appeared in Su Xiao's hand.
"Bullshit, I suddenly don't want to die. Sure enough, it's not as calm as I imagined. Mr. Kukuline, how about I help you do things?"
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak.
"Sorry... let me calm down..."
Pfft.
The bullet of D-Assassination left the chamber and pierced Frank's skull. The "someone come, help" he was about to shout didn't come out. In fact, except for those who often experience life and death, most people cannot be calm when facing death.
"Cunning but not smart enough."
Su Xiao picked up the shell on the ground, and after dealing with the traces at the scene, he leaped out of the window.
The night in the imperial capital seemed calm, but in fact, it was already undercurrents. Now it was just missing the final spark to ignite the powder keg.
The next morning, the Flower of the Empire, Sonia, came to the door.
Although Su Xiao's reputation in the Moon Goddess Monastery had reached negative ten thousand, Sonia still had a smile on her face when looking at Su Xiao.
Today was the day the envoys of the Simolo Empire arrived, and the imperial representatives on their side were Su Xiao and Sonia. The two sides would discuss the issue of war reparations.
This reparation was very interesting. The Simolo Empire claimed to the outside world that they were coming to the Dawn Empire to demand reparations, but in fact, they were coming to pay reparations to the Dawn Empire. Of course, the amount of reparations would not be too much, just a gesture. After all, in the previous war, the Dawn Empire only had an advantage on the local battlefield.
The diplomatic departments of both sides held their own opinions, and neither would give in on the surface. The meaning of the Simolo Empire was very clear: reparations could be paid, but they could not claim this to the outside world.
The old Holy King didn't actually care about this. As long as the gold pounds were in hand, it didn't matter how they argued with each other later. This kind of thing had happened more than once or twice. In the last war, the Dawn Empire paid reparations, and they also refused to admit it.
At 8:00 AM, the guard team of the Simolo Empire entered the capital of the Dawn Empire, and the envoy, Nigal, arrived at the mansion at 9:00 AM.
At 10:00 AM, 2,000 soldiers were already stationed near the mansion, 1,000 of whom were sent by the Simolo Empire, and the remaining 1,000 were disguised supernaturals from their own empire.
On the surface, the soldiers of the Simolo Empire stood in neat postures and were very imposing, but if they really fought, the 1,000 supernaturals on their side could stuff the heads of these soldiers into their asses.
The mansion was built magnificently, and in the main hall of the mansion, a circular conference table had been placed. The envoy of the Simolo Empire, Nigal, sat opposite the round table. On his left and right were a man and a woman. The man was the military representative of the Simolo Empire, and the woman was responsible for financial aspects.
On their side, Sonia wore a pair of narrow-framed glasses and was flipping through documents, while Su Xiao leaned on a chair and took a nap.
"Ms. Sonia, regarding the specifics of the funds, do you have any doubts?"
The envoy, Nigal, spoke. His way of speaking was very clever, and he didn't explicitly say it was reparations.
The envoy, Nigal, combed his hair until it was oily, and the smile he kept on his face gave people a natural sense of favor. This guy's real charm attribute was as high as 117 points, and his language and negotiation skills were rated as Master Lv. 56 by the Reincarnation Paradise. It was no wonder the Simolo Empire sent him here.
"This amount is not enough to compensate for our country's losses. The war was initiated by you, Simolo."
Just as Sonia finished speaking, a piercing sound of breaking wind struck. Su Xiao beside her leaped up and slashed out with his sword.
Thud!
A terrifying shockwave expanded, wood chips and gravel splashed, and the envoy, Nigal, and the man and woman beside him disappeared, turning into meat paste in the sky. Two pitch-black holes appeared on the ground. This was the assassination by the strongest weapon in this world, the steam high-pressure cannon.
Su Xiao's hand holding the sword was numb. Just now he had slashed at that high-pressure cannonball and cut it in two, but even though he had significantly reduced the power of this ghost thing, the enemy envoy was still blasted into slag.
