Chapter 3449: Council and Ruling

Rear City District, on the main road one kilometer directly in front of the Wang Gong.

Shouts and the sound of armor colliding from running were connected into one. A large group of Elf warriors surrounded an iron-black carriage, keeping alert.

This carriage was slightly tilted. The three single-horned horses pulling the carriage had been blown into blood and flesh paste. Broken fur and flesh stuck to the front half of the carriage, steaming in the cool early morning of late summer, and emitting a bloody smell.

Diagonally above the carriage was a hole half a meter in diameter, piercing through the metal carriage with a thickness of over 10 centimeters. Large pieces of curled metal debris, as well as deformed gears and spring coils, etc., were scattered on the ground.

Inside the tilted carriage, there were originally three people. At this time, one died miserably, one was seriously injured, and the only one without major problems was the Elf female warrior, Fen Wei.

"Mr. Bai Ye, Mr. Bai Ye! Can you still hear my voice?"

Inside the twisted and deformed carriage, the female warrior Fen Wei blocked in front of Su Xiao. After confirming that no other attacks were coming, emerald green energy gathered on her right forearm. Seeing her swing a fist sideways, with a loud bang, a hole was smashed into the side of the carriage. The defense formation of the carriage had already been broken just now. Breaking the 10-centimeter-thick metal layer with bare hands was easy for the female warrior Fen Wei.

"Mr. Bai Ye, you must not have anything happen. If something happens to you, I'm finished too."

The female warrior Fen Wei muttered in a low voice, gnashing her teeth as she spoke, hating the person who carried out the assassination to the core.

Not long after, the female warrior Fen Wei carried the "comatose" Su Xiao on her back and ran toward the Wang Gong under the escort of a large group of soldiers.

An hour later, Wang Gong rear side hall, inside the bedroom hall.

Su Xiao, with his upper body bare and bandages wrapped around his chest, sat on the bed. This bed was low, about half a meter high. The female warrior Fen Wei stood on the left side, and Ghost Shadow Di Yuke stood on the right side. Just half an hour ago, the Elf Wang ordered Fen Wei and Di Yuke to protect Su Xiao's personal safety.

Neither of these two were small characters. Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was originally the big leader of the assassination squad. Because of his excellent performance, he was later promoted to the Wang Gong, mainly responsible for anti-assassination, infiltration, etc. There is a saying: only by understanding can one know how to prevent.

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was in his early thirties. He wore a black-red mask to cover the lower half of his face. He looked strong, but actually not. He was just big-boned, so he looked strong. Those pale eyes, just looking at him, made people feel creepy. Ghost Shadow, Skinner, Red Hand—these were all his nicknames.

Although Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was silent and cruel, he also had hobbies, such as collecting eyeballs.

And the female warrior Fen Wei, this wasn't a small character either. She had won the title of the strongest female warrior in Bei City in the Elf race's fighting competition. Later, because of her pleasing appearance and temperament, she was chosen as the Queen's personal guard.

This time, the Elf Wang sent the female warrior Fen Wei to be the security personnel to welcome Su Xiao, which was to show an attitude of importance. However, at the critical moment, the female warrior Fen Wei dropped the ball and didn't help Su Xiao block the incoming black long spear.

Actually, this couldn't blame Fen Wei. She was also very difficult. Being in the same carriage, she was calculated by the protected person unknowingly and inhaled nerve-inhibitory gas. Otherwise, Fen Wei would never have been a beat slow to pounce out.

At this time, the female warrior Fen Wei standing by the bed really wanted to slap herself. At such a critical moment, why did she yawn?

Su Xiao sat on the bed with a casual posture. After sizing up the female warrior Fen Wei, he classified her into the low-threat category. Although Fen Wei's combat power was top-notch, she was just a guard.

On the other hand, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was a trouble for Su Xiao. Although the other party could prevent assassination, judging from the detected data, this guy was nine times out of ten a big leader of the assassination squad or intelligence squad. Wanting to operate under the protection of such a person was as difficult as reaching the sky.

Su Xiao never underestimated anyone, especially people like Ghost Shadow Di Yuke. Once the other party discovered clues, he might lose everything. Presumably, one of the purposes of the Elf Wang sending Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was to target this aspect.

This was normal. Even if Su Xiao was invited, if the Elf Wang had no suspicion or vigilance toward him, he would feel it was abnormal instead.

Although Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was a hidden danger, Su Xiao didn't care. The other party was now his guard, and he had many ways to deal with him.

"You are called..."

Su Xiao looked at the female warrior Fen Wei.

"My name is Fen Wei."

"Go get me something to eat. I haven't had breakfast yet."

"But Mr. Bai Ye, your injuries..."

Fen Wei's words were halfway through when she found that Su Xiao had already unwrapped the bandages on his chest and abdomen layer by layer. The piercing wound that looked terrifying just now only had scars that weren't obvious.

"Uh~"

Fen Wei didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she said with concern: "Mr. Bai Ye, the physician specifically instructed before leaving that you cannot eat normal food for the next few days."

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Ghost Shadow Di Yuke at the side turned his head away. He felt that his colleague this time had a head that was somewhat problematic.

"Now the physician tells you, go get something to eat."

"This~"

Fen Wei weighed it in her heart and sincerely felt that the medical skill of the physician in front of her was more superb, so she went down to prepare food.

"Mr. Bai Ye, regarding the identity of the assassin, do you have any guesses?"

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke asked.

"That's my old rival. I didn't expect them to have come to this world too."

"Saying it this way, Mr. Bai Ye is really from another world? Can you explain specifically? This will help us determine the assassin."

"I've been to many worlds, occasionally buying some souvenirs..."

As Su Xiao spoke, he took out many crafts and currencies from the storage space. Although these things were useless, they belonged to antiques or strange objects and were in a state of natural notarization.

Su Xiao had been to many worlds. Proving this point couldn't be simpler. Not long after, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was already convinced that Su Xiao had indeed been to many worlds, especially after seeing some super-era technological creations, he was even more convinced of this point.

The current situation was: Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was near Su Xiao, in a state of merging with the environment. Baha was outside the bedroom hall. After Su Xiao's explanation, the guards let Baha in. After the guards confirmed the identities of Xiang Bubu and Baha, they were no longer vigilant toward them.

Aiduoer was relatively miserable. After Su Xiao was assassinated, Aiduoer, as a companion who was with Su Xiao, was also protected. But after questioning, the Elf race discovered that Aiduoer didn't particularly understand Su Xiao, and immediately detained her. At this time, she was locked in the underground prison of the Wang Gong. That underground prison also held some particularly dangerous things, and the defense level was very high.

In such a safe place, Su Xiao didn't plan to rescue Aiduoer for the time being. Let her be locked there. Anyway, along the way, he had already brushed six killing prestige points, which meant Su Xiao now had a total of seven killing merit cards with a face value of 100 points in his hand.

In principle, killing merit could be brushed one last time. The reason was that the special overlord identity wasn't randomly generated all the time. The limit was eight times. This wasn't a temporary modification by the Tree of the Void, but a rule that killing competition had long had.

In other words, Aiduoer could transfer the overlord identity one last time. Not brushing the last time was because Su Xiao and Caesar were studying whether there were any other ways to continue operating.

Su Xiao took out a cigarette. Baha, who landed on his shoulder, quietly inhaled some. This was the antidote.

A few minutes later, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke, with a gloomy look and a dark red mask on his face, gradually frowned. Although he was still standing there, his abdomen was churning, painful as if someone was jumping rope with his intestines. This feeling of shit coming like a landslide made his face gradually turn green. He, Skinner, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke, actually had a stomachache?

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke didn't dare to relax. If he made any suspicious sound at this time, he would return to his hometown on the spot, the reason being that he had no face to continue mixing in Bei City.

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke's expression became more solemn. Not long after, his face was full of sweat.

Fen Wei, who had finished instructing the servants, returned to the bedroom hall. She had just returned when she saw Ghost Shadow Di Yuke with sweat on his forehead and his eyebrows almost frowning into a "chuan" character.

"Di Yuke, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No... thing."

As Ghost Shadow Di Yuke spoke, his eyes went straight. Feeling that he was reaching the limit, he barely said: "Mr. Bai Ye, I'll go out for a patrol."

"Hmm, go."

Hearing Su Xiao say this, Ghost Shadow Di Yuke was like receiving amnesty. He walked out with his legs clamped and small steps, making Fen Wei look confused.

The conversation with Ghost Shadow Di Yuke just now seemed to be just asking about assassination-related matters, but Su Xiao analyzed a lot of information.

First, Elf Wang Cromwell was much harder to deal with than he imagined. This was a very steady old schemer.

Different from the estimation, the Elf Wang didn't immediately send people to besiege the Priest and the others, but temporarily suppressed the assassination event, and wasn't in a hurry to come to Su Xiao's side to seek medicine.

This ambiguous attitude made Su Xiao think of a possibility: the Priest also had a method to curb "Turbid Blood Syndrome," but the output and effect weren't as strong as the "Life Secret Medicine."

Precisely because of this, the Elf Wang chose a relatively neutral attitude. Su Xiao and the Priest had not been in Bei City for long. Rather than blindly choosing one to believe, it was better to stabilize both sides. Right now, for the Elf race, Su Xiao and the Priest were both daddy-level figures. Su Xiao was a typical big daddy, while the Priest was more inclined toward a wild daddy.

Big daddy and wild daddy, the Elf race couldn't offend either. Their most ideal way was to worship both together. The problem was that this big daddy and wild daddy were at odds and were deadly enemies before coming to this world.

This led to the Elf race now being somewhat caught in the middle, neither able to offend the wild daddy they knew earlier, nor daring to neglect the big daddy who just arrived.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao knew that his previous arrangements hadn't been in vain.

This assassination made the Elf race's attitude toward the Priest slide directly to the "I'm not familiar with this person" level.

If there hadn't been this assassination, Su Xiao estimated that the Priest's side would always occupy the initiative, and even cooperate closely with the Elf Wang, guarding against his side together. That was the worst situation.

Now it had become that the Elf Wang and many Elf race high-level officials had a plummeting attitude toward the Priest and the others. If it weren't for the Priest and the others having a method to curb "Turbid Blood Syndrome," the Elf race would have already besieged the Priest and the others.

In Su Xiao's plan, the assassination was just an appetizer. Through this assassination, Su Xiao's status in Bei City was officially equal to the Priest and the others who had arrived much earlier, and there was even a trend of surpassing them.

In Su Xiao's view, what was needed now wasn't to continue promoting the effect of "Life Secret Medicine."

What Su Xiao needed most right now was a point of contradiction, a point of contradiction sufficient to make the Priest and the others thoroughly suffer. Regarding the point of contradiction, Su Xiao immediately remembered one thing: a few months ago, the Elf Wang Zu claimed that the groundwater had problems. This was the best point of contradiction.

At that time, just say that a few months ago, the Priest and the others polluted Bei City's groundwater with Abyss Power. This pot was big enough. If it was really buckled on the Priest and the others, those people would definitely die.

"Fen Wei."

Su Xiao signaled Fen Wei to come forward, then spoke in a low voice. Fen Wei leaned forward in front of the bed to listen quietly. When she heard halfway, her face had already changed greatly.

"Hurry up."

"Yes!"

Fen Wei ran out of the bedroom hall quickly to meet the Elf Wang. As the personal guard personally transferred to Su Xiao by the Elf Wang, she naturally had the qualification to meet the Elf Wang directly.

Ten minutes after Fen Wei left, the footsteps of soldiers came from outside the bedroom hall. The door of the bedroom hall was pushed open by a burly old man. He wore silver-black half-body armor, and the whole person was awe-inspiring. It was the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin.

Pang Kailin looked around the bedroom hall. After seeing Su Xiao, he shouted in a low voice: "Take down this evil physician."

As soon as Pang Kailin's voice fell, soldiers rushed into the bedroom hall one by one. Looking at their eyes, this wasn't to capture, but to take the opportunity to silence him. These were all death soldiers.

"Whoever dares to take another step forward, die."

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke's voice came. His body, half-turned into dark green smoke, walked out from the wall.

Just as Ghost Shadow Di Yuke appeared, a soldier who rushed to the front stopped immediately. He made a silent wailing posture, his flesh and blood withered, his bones turned into powder, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a wisp of dark green smoke, merging into Ghost Shadow Di Yuke's arm.

The soldiers who rushed into the bedroom hall stopped their footsteps and looked at the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin.

The Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin, signaled to continue. He had no choice now, or rather, having already chosen to stand on the Priest's side before, he had to do so now.

Originally, Pang Kailin believed that the Priest, who could treat "Turbid Blood Syndrome" to a certain extent, was a savior sent by heaven. He naturally wanted to have a good relationship with him.

Pang Kailin's show of favor, and the arrangements on the Priest's side, led this Commander of the Imperial Guard to unknowingly stand on the Priest's side.

Actually, this was nothing. Pang Kailin believed that it wouldn't be long before he would rely on the performance of his ally as a savior in Bei City, and his status would rise by another tier.

Unfortunately, Su Xiao's appearance disrupted Pang Kailin's plan. In just one night, he went from heaven to hell.

Although Pang Kailin had cooperated with the Priest for a short time, what kind of person was the Priest? After boarding that pirate ship, Pang Kailin was also helpless.

The assassination event this morning made the Priest's side passive to the extreme, which made the Priest use a dirty trick. He didn't think Pang Kailin could solve Su Xiao. He fooled Pang Kailin into coming to make the matter big, and then die in this bedroom hall.

"Do it!"

Pang Kailin roared. The soldiers outside the bedroom hall who received the order made a move to rush in.

"Commander Pang Kailin, you can capture Physician Bai Ye, but there must be a reason."

Ghost Shadow Di Yuke spoke. Having done dirty work for years, he knew too well how to protect himself in this situation.

"Reason? Kuku Lin Bai Ye came to Bei City as early as a few months ago. He polluted Bei City's groundwater with Abyss Power, causing Bei City residents to contract Turbid Blood Syndrome. Now he is pretending to be a physician, blackmailing our race in the name of treating Turbid Blood Syndrome. Is this reason enough!"

Pang Kailin's tone was categorical. That angry look seemed as if it were really the case.

The Priest wasn't easy to deal with. That side also threw the same pot.

The reason why Su Xiao and the Priest both threw this pot was that the pot was big enough to shoot the other party to death. Secondly, this was the situation the Elf Wang Zu was most willing to accept. The groundwater having problems was originally fabricated by them.

Sometimes, it wasn't the truth that won everything. When a lie was needed enough, it could also become the truth.

If it was announced that "Turbid Blood Syndrome" was because their ancestors were stubborn, and that was why there was today's evil disease, the Elf race's public would inevitably give up on themselves. But if it was said that it was caused by an external enemy, they would definitely support the Wang Zu and let the Wang Zu help them seek justice.

If Su Xiao was in a big headwind situation when he first arrived in Bei City, then now, he and the Priest were basically tied, just depending on who had more means later.

The bedroom hall was tense. Pang Kailin had already gone all out and decided to take action by force. But just at this time, a masked man stopped beside him and whispered something in his ear.

Pang Kailin was stunned for a moment, then his face changed slightly. His confidant told him that the Priest and the others had already been controlled, on the grounds of suspected poisoning of Bei City's groundwater.

Pang Kailin didn't make any stops and took people to turn and leave. As for where to go, that went without saying. He decided to take his two sons and run away.

This Commander of the Imperial Guard, who had stayed in Bei City for most of his life, keenly judged that today's matter wasn't right and that something terrible was about to happen. If he didn't escape Bei City now, he would likely die here.

As long as he survived this matter, even if he was held accountable after returning to Bei City, Pang Kailin estimated that he wouldn't be sentenced to death. With his connections in the power system, he would at most be stripped of the status of Commander of the Imperial Guard and go back to retire. This was much better than dying.

The current situation was already very clear. Su Xiao and the Priest both knew that to get the other party killed, there must be a point of contradiction. Both sides had the same vision and chose to frame the other party for poisoning the groundwater in Bei City.

If killing and arson would form a feud, then poisoning the groundwater in someone's city was a desperate act, an absolute blood feud, one level higher than the hatred of taking a wife or killing a father.

Soon, Su Xiao obtained a piece of information through Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's eavesdropping: two days later, he and the Priest and the others would prove their intentions under the Elf Wang's personal ruling, and say the other party's criminal evidence.

The ruling location was the Kingdom Hall. At that time, many Elf Wang Zu and high-level officials would be present.

The ruling in the Kingdom Hall wasn't the Elf Wang's one-man show, but a duel between Su Xiao and the Priest.

However, before this ruling started, it was already unfair. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang heard the Elf Wang say with his own ears that if Su Xiao lost, he would be taken down on the spot, and then "locked up."

If the Priest and the others lost, heh~, they would be forked out and beheaded on the spot.

Why would it be like this? The Elf Wang looked more pleasing to Su Xiao? Not really, because the treatment method Su Xiao provided was one step stronger than the Priest's side. Although "Life Secret Medicine" couldn't reach the level of a cure, it was also immediately effective. The Priest's side's treatment was relatively slow, and he had to take action personally, not like "Life Secret Medicine," which even a novice physician could use to treat patients.

Under such a gap, having this kind of differential treatment was natural. Plus, the Priest's side's teammates occasionally made mysterious operations, showing the Priest and the Elf Wang to the point of scalp numbness.

The Elf Wang chose to start the ruling two days later, which was a very clever decision. Within these two days, the Elf race could gradually buy "Life Secret Medicine" from Su Xiao through trading. With a certain amount of "Life Secret Medicine," the Elf Wang could stabilize the situation.

The Priest was an old schemer, but the Elf Wang was also an old schemer.

Su Xiao conjectured that the Elf Wang must have already thought that he and the Priest came here with other plans.

But even if he knew, the Elf Wang had no way. He needed Su Xiao or the Priest's means to treat "Turbid Blood Syndrome."

It could be seen from many places that the Elf Wang was also having a headache facing the current situation. He was trying his best to avoid facing Su Xiao and the Priest at the same time. Even with the Elf Wang's steadiness and sophistication, he couldn't hold up against Su Xiao and the Priest.

So the Elf Wang's attitude was that Su Xiao and the Priest must have one exit first, and then he would scheme with the remaining one. Otherwise, even the Elf Wang couldn't hold up.

Everything seemed confusing, but actually simple and clear. At the ruling meeting two days later, there must be one person out between Su Xiao and the Priest.

At the same time, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin, left the "Rear Side Hall" and went straight to the "Front Courtyard."

The bright morning sun scattered, but Pang Kailin was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the Wang Gong front courtyard. He took two confidants and walked hurriedly toward the main gate of the Wang Gong.

Out of the heavily guarded main gate, Pang Kailin went straight to his home in the Rear City District. Because he had something on his mind, his pace was fast. Plus, this was to take his family to escape Bei City, so he couldn't make a big splash. Taking the two most trusted confidants was the most stable.

Because of the assassination event this morning, the Rear City District was already semi-martial law. Pang Kailin, as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, in charge of all the city guards in the city, naturally wouldn't be blocked.

Saying he was in charge of all the city guards in the city, Pang Kailin's power was actually very limited. Bei City, as the capital of the Elf Kingdom, the city guards here could not only protect this city, but once their control fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, using them to subvert the existing regime was very possible.

So the person who truly controlled the Bei City City Guard troops was actually those Wang Zu nobles. Pang Kailin was at most a representative of those big figures, responsible for daily scheduling, etc. The one who truly had the final say had to be those few Wang Zu.

It was precisely because of this that Pang Kailin was eager to climb up, climb to a higher position, rather than serving as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, which looked glorious but was actually an empty shell.

On the deserted street, only three or five pedestrians passed by hurriedly occasionally. Pang Kailin, with graying sideburns, slowed his pace. He glanced inadvertently and saw four rustic-looking country people.

These four people might not have washed their faces for many days. Their faces were black and oily. "Natural hair gel" made their hairstyles neat. Among them, the leader combed a greasy back head.

Seeing these four, Pang Kailin didn't pay attention. There were many such country bumpkins in Bei City. He wouldn't despise such people, but directly ignored them.

What made Pang Kailin confused was that one of the four bumpkins walking toward him, the leader with the back head, held a portrait in his hand, his eyes looking back and forth between his face and the portrait.

The leader of the fishing village stopped beside Pang Kailin. He ignored the confusion in the other party's eyes and the shouting of the guards behind the other party. He raised his right hand holding the picture, placed the picture beside the other party's face, and after a close-range comparison, he grinned, revealing a few metal teeth.

Bang! Bang!

Two explosions, the two confidants beside Pang Kailin had their heads smashed by the third and fourth from the fishing village.

Under Pang Kailin's horrified gaze, the fish-killing knife in the leader of the fishing village's hand pierced in from his chin and pierced out from the top of his head.

Pang Kailin's eyes widened. With blood gushing from his mouth, he grabbed the collar of the leader of the fishing village. There wasn't much fear in Pang Kailin's eyes, more of confusion and disbelief. Just now the leader of the fishing village blocked him, and he thought this bumpkin was asking for directions.

Actually, it couldn't blame Pang Kailin. No one would have thought that an assassin would hold the target's portrait, place the portrait beside the target's face for comparison. This savage, calm act was too incredible.

The four from the fishing village surrounded Pang Kailin, each holding a fish-killing knife, stabbing Pang Kailin messily. Not long after, Pang Kailin's feet were full of blood.

After cutting Pang Kailin's throat, the four from the fishing village walked toward the nearby small alley as if nothing had happened, leaving only Pang Kailin, who fell to the ground, covering his spurting throat with one hand.

Pang Kailin never thought that someone would dare to move him in Bei City, let alone four guys who looked like bumpkins.

Pang Kailin was careless. He never thought that the four bumpkins he encountered this time were so ruthless and so strong.

A group of city guards walked over. This was a patrol team of dozens of people. The leader was named Arle, the former patrol captain of the Central District, and the current patrol captain of the Rear City District.

There was a fundamental difference between the Central District and the Rear City District. The former was just commercially prosperous, while the latter was a wealthy area and a heavy place where the Wang Gong was located.

From a distance, Arle noticed three people lying on the street. He immediately became vigilant and ordered people to block the scene.

"You, you, and you, go block that side, the others..."

Arle arranged in an orderly manner. His direct superior, Pang Kailin, was assassinated on the street and died suddenly. The assassin's arrogance was too rampant. This made Arle "extremely angry" and decided to "avenge" his old superior.

At noon that day, after the detailed investigation and meticulous analysis of Patrol Captain Arle, he successfully locked onto the culprit. At one o'clock in the afternoon, he only led 10 subordinates to take down the four from the fishing village.

Because this matter was of great importance, the four from the fishing village were transferred to a special department and locked in the dungeon under the Wang Gong, to be executed on a chosen day.

As for the specific execution time, because of the recent turmoil in Bei City, and the reason for the four from the fishing village assassinating the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin, hadn't been found out, and Patrol Captain Arle had repeatedly requested that he wanted to avenge his old superior, Pang Kailin, that is, to execute the four from the fishing village with his own hands.

Multiple situations piled together, plus the ruling between Su Xiao and the Priest's side was much bigger than this matter, so the execution department decided to lock up the four from the fishing village first, and wait for the results of the Kingdom Council's ruling before dealing with the four from the fishing village.

Rear City District, Silver Flower Manor, inside the castle study.

A middle-aged man with a fat body sat behind the desk. His name was Eliton, a direct Wang Zu.

Although the Elf Wang's position wasn't bloodline inheritance, the Wang Zu was. This secret was unknown.

They all said that all roads lead to Rome, and Eliton was an Elf race born in "Rome." At this time, he was pinching a cigarette with his index finger and thumb. On the wood-grain desk in front of his big belly, there was a glass of strong wine.

Eliton was the first Wang Zu to come into contact with Su Xiao. Last night, his daughter who suffered from "Turbid Blood Syndrome" was treated, and today she could eat and get out of bed and walk, which made Eliton's mood very good.

"Mr. Caesar, I've heard of your great name. I don't know what you're looking for me for?"

Eliton put down the cigarette made entirely of tobacco leaves in his hand. This thing was a bit like a thinner cigar.

"Lord Eliton, I've come to introduce someone to you."

Caesar revealed his iconic lecherous smile. Seeing this, Eliton smiled and said: "Introduce who?"

"Rear City District Patrol Captain Arle. I think this person is very capable. The Commander of the Imperial Guard, Pang Kailin, was assassinated on the street, and it was this patrol captain who first stood out and captured the culprit that day. What a strong ability to handle things!"

Caesar didn't spare his praise for Arle. The Wang Zu Eliton opposite just smiled and said:

"Hmm~, I've also heard of this person. I don't know how Mr. Caesar plans to introduce him? And which position do you want to introduce him to?"

"Introduce to... Bei City's Commander of the Imperial Guard."

"!"

The smile on Wang Zu Eliton's face suddenly disappeared. He looked at Caesar with cold eyes.

"You outsiders, what huge guts. You've only been here for two days and you've killed a few of our candidates for Commander of the Imperial Guard. Pang Kailin has been our dog for decades. If there's no credit, there's hard work. You wait to pay with your lives for him."

Wang Zu Eliton wasn't a simple character. He had already seen through the general situation, or rather, anyone with eyes could see the clues in this matter.

"Hehehe."

Caesar rubbed his hands and laughed. He took out five long strip-shaped crystal boxes and placed them on the desk. Seeing these crystal boxes, Wang Zu Eliton hesitated.

"Lord Eliton, do you know that "Life Secret Medicine" has purity levels? Actually, you should have noticed that the "Life Secret Medicine" your daughter used last night and the one you saw in the Wang Gong today aren't the same grade."

Hearing this, Wang Zu Eliton's face changed one after another, and finally nodded. Indeed, the "Life Secret Medicine" his daughter used had better effects.

"Lord Eliton, these five "Life Secret Medicines" are of the highest purity. Who can guarantee that your other family members won't contract "Turbid Blood Syndrome" in the future?"

"Heh~, Kuku Lin Bai Ye is in the Wang Gong. As long as he is there, we can get as many Life Secret Medicines as we want."

"No, no, no, the ruling two days later hasn't yielded results yet. What if, I say what if, some accident happens? Lord Eliton, think about the future for you and your family."

Hearing Caesar's words, Wang Zu Eliton was silent. A moment later, he said:

"Wanting to push Patrol Captain Arle directly to the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard isn't something I can decide alone. Bei City's recent situation is too chaotic. We plan to push a new Commander of the Imperial Guard tonight. His Majesty is very busy and won't attend tonight's secret meeting. Excluding His Majesty, we still need the consent of four other people for Patrol Captain Arle to sit in that position."

"This is easy to handle."

Caesar took out a wooden box. After opening it, there were 20 crystal boxes inside, which were 20 "Life Secret Medicines."

"Lord Eliton, we can just pull the others in with these, can't we."

"This..."

Wang Zu Eliton smiled and raised his hand. His fat hand pressed on the wooden box. He said: "Always give young people a chance. I think Arle is indeed not bad."

Wang Zu Eliton moved the wooden box in front of him. His fat face was full of smiles, but his eyes were thoughtful. His eyes were very bright, bright enough to be soul-stirring.

At 10 o'clock that night, inside the castle banquet hall of Silver Flower Manor.

The banquet had reached its end, and the guests left one after another. These guests were basically direct relatives of the five great Wang Zu figures. Actually, saying this was a family gathering wasn't wrong.

Inside a small room on the side of the banquet hall, a round table and six chairs were everything here. The chairs were almost against the wall, both crowded and giving people a sense of security.

Among the five people sitting, Wang Zu Eliton sat in the second seat. The first seat was empty—that was the Elf Wang's position.

The other four, because the light was dim, could only see their general attire. One was dressed as a judge, the person sitting next to him was dressed as a banker, and the other two couldn't be seen clearly because the light was too dim.

These five were all Wang Zu. They didn't just know how to enjoy themselves every day, but were each responsible for different fields to ensure that Bei City, as the center of the Elf race's power, could be stable.

"So, Eliton, you think highly of the current Patrol Captain Arle? What do you three mean?"

"I'm casual. I've been busy with the Kingdom Council recently. That's what gives me a headache."

"Bai Ye and the Priest are not easy to provoke. These people from the outside world, who knows what means they have."

"His Majesty is also worried about this point. Speaking of which, Eliton, have you investigated the person you recommended?"

"Investigated. Arle was born in Bei City. He has served us since his grandfather's generation. His father died in the fishing village incident 15 years ago."

"Hmm, this person is indeed not bad. Special situation, special promotion. Several, is it decided like this?"

"Don't bother me. The matter of the Kingdom Council is enough to give me a headache."

"Then it's decided like this. I'll let Arle come to see us in a while."

Wang Zu Eliton officially finalized the exceptional promotion of Arle to Bei City's Commander of the Imperial Guard.

Wang Gong rear area, 100 meters underground, inside the gloomy and damp dungeon.

Inside a cell, the four from the fishing village sat around more than a dozen plates, eating meat and drinking wine, very refreshing.

In the dungeon diagonally opposite, Aiduoer grabbed the iron bars with both hands, looking at the four from the fishing village feasting.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's bark came from the side. Hearing the sound, Aiduoer turned her head to look. When she saw Xiang Bubu, she almost blurted out: "Did you forget me?"

"Are you here to save me?"

"Woof~"

Xiang Bubu indicated no, which made Aiduoer feel very depressed. After communication, she knew that Xiang Bubu was here to find her to collude in testimony.

The morning sun rose. Bei City, which had slept for a night, woke up again. Smoke from cooking fires curled up in the city.

On the main street of the Rear City District, a figure wearing an extra-large bamboo hat walked on the street. Its identity as a mushroom person attracted the attention of pedestrians and peddlers on the street. It wasn't until it walked into the main gate of the Wang Gong that people's attention shifted away.

This was the Mushroom Prophet who rushed from the Sunny Wetlands. It wasn't that it wanted to come, but it had to come.

It could be said that with the Mushroom Prophet's arrival, Su Xiao's duel at the Kingdom Council could at least be a tie.

Su Xiao still needed another hand card, a hand card that could win the game.

East District, Industrial Zone.

The sewage on the street flowed like a small stream. The stone slabs were stepped on to be uneven. The smell of the sewer, sweat, and even the smell of dead rats permeated. These smells mixed with the aroma of breakfast, plus the industrial smog—this was the unique smell of the slums.

A row of small tables was set up on the street. Diners dressed simply sat in front of the small tables to enjoy their breakfast. Among them, there was a man wearing old leather armor with an Elf scimitar hanging at his waist. His long face was particularly special. He wasn't ugly, but grew quite casually.

This outfit shouldn't have appeared in the industrial zone. Usually, one would only have this outfit when going out to hunt. The reason this person came here was because of the low prices in the industrial zone.

This person was the wandering Elf Laigo, a "ruthless person" that even Su Xiao couldn't use.

Laigo held the steaming breakfast, looking at the passing crowd, feeling lost about the road ahead.

"Laigo."

A city guard sat beside Laigo, which made Laigo nervous. The lean meat porridge in his mouth suddenly wasn't fragrant. He was very afraid of the city guards. There was no other reason, just instinctive tension and fear.

"Some things need to be investigated with you."

"Wha... what matter."

"Do you know a person named Kuku Lin Bai Ye."

"Don't know."

Hearing him say this, the bearded city guard immediately restrained his smile.

This scared Laigo into nodding repeatedly, changing his words and saying: "Know, know."

"That's good, come with me."

The bearded city guard stood up and made a gesture to his colleague on the roof. Soon, dozens of city guards appeared around, escorting Laigo to the Wang Gong in the Rear City District.

In the bakery not far away, Commander of the Imperial Guard Arle looked through the glass door at everything on the street. He put down the paper packaging bag in his hand and said to the salesperson: "Calculate how much."

"Lo... Lord, these don't cost money."

"How can this be."

Arle put down a silver coin, held a bag of bread with one hand, and went out the door. Wearing the Commander of the Imperial Guard armor, he looked more handsome than before, and added a bit of majesty.

A calm day passed by the fingertips. The sky darkened unknowingly. Tonight, for the big figures of the Elf race, it actually seemed a bit long, because at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, it was time to convene the Kingdom Council, and it was also the time for Su Xiao and the Priest to decide life and death. ===== CHAPTER 3450 =====
