Chapter 2387: Star Light Iron

Inside the first floor of the small building, Su Xiao and Puri sat opposite each other. After the old councilor became critically ill, with Azaz's assistance, Puri took over the old councilor's power.

Puri's ambition wasn't to become a councilor. He preferred to travel across the continent by steam train and go to various kingdoms to dissipate. His female companions had never been broken. He was romantic but not lewd, and always lived freely. This was Puri.

As the son of a councilor, and the son of the Saint Realm Councilor among the three councilors with actual power, Puri was respected wherever he went.

The hyena wolf clan didn't dare to take action against Puri, at least not before the old councilor died. The hyena wolf clan couldn't imagine what kind of revenge the old councilor would take after doing such a root-cutting thing. Getting rid of Puri was not equivalent to the price paid afterwards.

This also made Puri more free. In his own words, since some things couldn't be chosen, he could only accept them.

The old councilor was critically ill, and others acting as councilors were not agreed upon by the Frost Snake Councilor or the Rose Councilor. The only person they recognized was Puri.

This had nothing to do with Puri's personal ability. He was the old councilor's son. Even if he messed around usually, he was worth trusting at critical moments.

The old councilor was critically ill, and not only Puri and Azaz were anxious, but the Frost Snake Councilor and the Rose Councilor were also paying attention in secret.

Before Su Xiao was attacked on the steam train, the reason why the Chidorman Company came to reinforce so quickly was also with the help of the Frost Snake Councilor's intelligence network.

The Chidorman Company only dared to interfere in this matter after asking the Frost Snake Councilor. Otherwise, they could only watch. Even if they knew they had to bear the responsibility afterwards, they only dared to watch. This matter concerned a critically ill councilor. If they interfered rashly, the Chidorman Company would be in big trouble.

In the eyes of the real rulers, the Chidorman Company was just a company that mastered a large amount of wealth. Under the suppression of military force, no matter how much wealth there was, it was a pile of waste paper. The paper money circulating in the four kingdoms was printed by the Council Chamber. Otherwise, the four kingdoms would have become independent long ago.

The Council Chamber and the four kingdoms combined were the empire created by Emperor Okaz. A thousand years ago, Emperor Okaz had already created the prototype of the empire. He even predicted that his four descendants would turn against each other, leading to the collapse of the empire. The parliamentary system was the final insurance.

Treating the four kingdoms and the Council Chamber as a whole, there were fewer changes to guard against.

The four kings were actually lords of various places. It was unlikely they would mess with the Council Chamber. In this situation, the kings messing with the Council Chamber was equivalent to messing with themselves. Trade and economic systems would collapse, and neither side would have good fruit to eat.

Excluding the four kingdoms, the suspect object shrank by a large circle. First of all, the person behind the scenes must have the power to command Iron Tooth Muro. Iron Tooth Muro was already dead. It was he who temporarily changed the secret arts masters escorting Su Xiao and got a dozen newly promoted secret arts masters to escort Su Xiao.

Iron Tooth Muro was a very powerful figure on the continent, someone to look up to. But in this matter, he was just a small character, a small pawn that had to die regardless of the result after being used.

Iron Tooth Muro was of course unwilling, but he had no way. In the competition for power, as long as he took half a wrong step, everyone related to him had to die.

The clue broke at Iron Tooth Muro, and the person behind the scenes successfully hid. But Su Xiao got new clues after seeing the old councilor.

The old councilor's critical illness was planned by the person behind the scenes. Combining multiple clues, Su Xiao had more and more "puzzle pieces" in his hands. He only needed to piece together the last few pieces to drag the person behind the scenes out.

Su Xiao had a guess that the person behind the scenes was also a link in a huge plan. This plan was so terrible that once successful, it could uproot the four kingdoms + the Council Chamber, and the empire of Emperor Okaz would collapse.

"Kuku Lin, is there any hope for my father? Don't worry about my feelings, please tell me the most real situation."

Puri lowered his eyelids, already prepared to accept the worst result.

"No hope."

"Is that so? Is that so."

Puri rested his elbows on the armrests of the seat, covering his eyes with one hand.

"Bai Ye, do you know? Before you came, I looked for other four alchemy masters. They didn't even dare to come. You are the only one who dared to take action. Even you have no way, then..."

Puri spoke, tears soaking out from between his fingers. He had a very bad relationship with his father—no, it should be terrible. He never thought that when he was about to lose this "dispensable" father who had been indifferent to him in his childhood, he would be so heartbroken.

"Just kidding, your father can be saved."

Su Xiao's voice fell, and Puri stood up with a "whoosh," his face showing joy. On the side, the maid Riss's eyes also regained some spirit.

"How is it? My father is fine?"

"No, your father is going to die."

Su Xiao's voice fell, and Puri stood up with a "whoosh," his face showing joy. On the side, the maid Riss's eyes also regained some spirit.

"You, are you always so bad?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. He was using the simplest elimination method. He had learned a technique from an old friend named Harold: using intuition to perceive other people's emotional changes. Expressions and physical reactions could be disguised, but the only thing that couldn't be disguised was the instantaneous emotional change.

"Judging from the situation, the decisions of those four alchemy masters were very correct. I should also leave now."

Su Xiao rubbed the fruit shell residue on his fingertips and picked up the light tea to sip.

"Who knows."

Su Xiao of course wouldn't say that he was in great need of "Light Au Pounds" now. "Light Au Pounds" was the currency of this world. This thing was originally named "Light Dark Empire · Emperor Okaz Third Order Batch · Paper Gold Pound." Because this world originally used gold coins, after developing into paper currency, it was abbreviated as "Light Au Pound."

After several improvements, the material of "Light Au Pound" was made of cotton and hemp, which was less easy to damage, and the touch was thicker. More people directly called this cute thing a pound.

With pounds, Su Xiao could acquire a large amount of alchemy materials, and even directly create an alchemy laboratory.

As an alchemy master, not having a laboratory obviously couldn't be justified and would arouse suspicion. It was somewhat of a loss to get pounds from Puri. Treating the old councilor had to bear great risks, so of course, he had to propose a higher reward.

Su Xiao didn't know the value of Star Light Iron, so he didn't ask for too much. If the density of Star Light Iron was high, ten kilograms would be a piece the size of a fist.

Considering for a moment, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.

"Ten kilograms of Star Light Iron."

Su Xiao didn't know the value of Star Light Iron, so he didn't ask for too much. If the density of Star Light Iron was high, ten kilograms would be a piece the size of a fist.

"Kuku Lin, do you alchemists use Star Light Iron by the kilogram?"

Puri's eyes were a bit desperate. Ten kilograms of Star Light Iron, even if all the Star Light Iron in the four kingdoms + the Council Chamber was taken out, there wouldn't be ten kilograms.

"You can treat this as a transaction, you can bargain."

"Then, 70 grams, my father only has this much."

"Deal."

"Eh?"

Puri didn't react for a while. The gap between ten kilograms and 70 grams was really too big. After being stunned for a few seconds, he went upstairs. Not long after, he took a very exquisite wooden box and walked down the stairs quickly.

"This is the reward. Cure my father, and it will belong to you."

Puri placed the wooden box on the table and opened it. Inside the wooden box was a translucent metal block with blue dots inside, like starlight.

Su Xiao picked up the Star Light Iron and checked the information of this thing.
