Chapter 1184.1: The Palace
As Su Xiao strolled through the busy market, he kept looking around. He needed to get to the palace as quickly as possible. The king had secretly summoned him, which could only mean that he was in a great hurry and wanted him to come to him as soon as possible.
Right now, he obviously couldn't ask passersby which way the palace was located. He was an Iron hand, and if someone like him asked about the location of the palace, it would at least look too strange.
And the palace of the kingdom of Saint Sodin probably wasn't a huge and magnificent building, at least not like the palace of East Goruto in the Hunter x Hunter world».
According to the summary of this world, the structure of this kingdom's palace was more like a "manor" with a large courtyard.
This estate had two main functions. The first was to provide a place for the king and queen to live, and the second was to provide a place of work for important ministers.
The manor wasn't huge or grand, but it could hold more than a thousand people at a time.
In this world, where there was always an endless war between the two races, so that the future ruling generations would not be mired in pleasure and greed, an unremarkable manor was built, which represented a haven for the king and queen and nothing more. It was not extremely luxurious or majestic, since according to the idea it was supposed to only perform its main functions and no more.
A mechanical eye appeared on Su Xiao's palm. The Apostle's Eye, which could assess any creature and scan the area, would fly into the air and point it in the right direction.
As the king's confidant, Iron Hand couldn't live too far away from the palace.
Sure enough, when the Eye of the Apostle rose to a height of 100 meters, it found a large manor that didn't look luxurious, but had a majestic aura.
This manor occupied at least a full kilometer of space. There were no scenic spots on its territory, but at least a hundred sculptures were located, including sculptures of past kings, as well as some great heroes and officials who gave their lives for the prosperity of the kingdom. Every single one of those who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the kingdom became a hero, and since many of these sculptures were on par or even higher than the sculptures of past kings, it at least indicated that these heroes were truly outstanding individuals.
After discovering his target, Su Xiao returned the Eye of the Apostle to his inventory and hurried with Bubtni to the palace, which was less than half a kilometer away from his residence.
As Su Xiao walked through the streets, the civilians who saw him would subconsciously try to stay away from him and pay their respects, which was more like showing fear than showing respect.
After seeing such reactions, Su Xiao felt that Iron Hand had probably made enemies wherever he could.
If it was any other official in his place, it would definitely end up leading to this official's strange and sudden death, but Iron Hand was a special person. Iron Hand was supposed to make enemies wherever he could. He was the king's right-hand man, and although he had considerable privileges, in reality, because of his duties, he could not trust anyone but the current king, so all others were essentially enemies to him.
Su Xiao gradually accelerated. In the end, the king decided to summon him in secret, so he couldn't delay.
Soon, he found himself in front of the courtyard of a majestic manor. The courtyard was surrounded not by a huge brick wall, but by a fence made of metal rods, at the tips of which were the same heads of dogs and lions.
The heads of dogs most likely represented the current officials of the kingdom, and the heads of lions represented the royal family and their greatness..
Thousands of Royal Guards were stationed around the courtyard of the manor. They were all clad in golden armor and held elegant long weapons in their hands. Their posture was straight, and their faces were completely expressionless.
There were dozens of royal guards standing in front of the gate that led to the courtyard of the manor, and all of them were looking ahead and didn't even seem to notice Su Xiao's presence.
Su Xiao went straight to the courtyard.
*Ding*
The weapons of the Royal Guards moved and touched their armor, which created a small but uniform sound.
They didn't try to stop Su Xiao, but rather greeted Iron Hand in this way.
Officials who held high positions could freely enter and leave the manor's courtyard from 6 to 9 o'clock every day, while special people like Iron Hand could enter and leave the manor's courtyard 24 hours a day.
