Chapter 1184.2: The Palace
Since Su Xiao didn't have a weapon in his hand, the guards didn't stop him.
Su Xiao then walked along a granite road that was covered with carved patterns. Since it was now around 7 o'clock in the morning, officials in aristocratic costumes would pass by from time to time.
The attitude of all the officials towards him was the same. All of them tried to keep a distance of 10 meters from Su Xiao, and not out of fear, but out of unwillingness to get close to such a person, as often the extra attention of the Iron Hand to someone's person did not end well.
Soon, Su Xiao entered the manor unhindered, or rather, it would be more accurate to say that he entered the palace, which was both the residence of the royals and their workplace.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the palace, he smelled a faint fragrance. After starting to search for the source of this fragrance, he ended up looking at several large pots of tulips.
He was able to get inside the palace, but because of this, he had a new problem.
Where was the King now?
Fortunately, an elderly man in a white suit and a corset with gold threads could be seen kindly helped him to solve this problem..
When Su Xiao saw this man, his eyes lit up. "Where's Herbert?" Su Xiao asked.
— The elderly man in white snorted coldly and walked forward.
Seeing his reaction, Su Xiao was surprised. The man was surprisingly brave. During this time, he had already met at least a few dozen kingdom officials, but they were all trying to get out of his sight as quickly as possible, while this man was clearly not afraid of him, and even on the contrary, he decided to go straight to Su Xiao, although from the outside, it might seem that he was just "accidentally " passed by Su Xiao.
This elderly man's attitude towards him didn't seem to be very good, but Su Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit of hostility from him.
Just as the man was about to pass by Su Xiao, he took a small step towards Su Xiao and their shoulders collided.
Su Xiao heard a crunch from that elderly man's back.
Because of this collision, the man's legs trembled and he almost fell to the floor.
— Why didn't you move away, uh, my old bones... " the elderly man said in a low voice, but his lips barely moved.
This man and Iron Hand obviously weren't enemies, but they apparently pretended to be them all along to make the other officials feel safe.
— I was thinking, " Su Xiao replied in a friendly tone.
— After saying that, the man walked on and stopped for a moment. "His Majesty is in the kingdom's council hall, hmm," he deliberately raised his voice as he spoke and looked around. Although he answered Su Xiao's question, he gave a cold snort in the end. From his trembling arms and legs, it could be seen that his back must be in a lot of pain right now, however, it wasn't surprising considering that he was facing Su Xiao's shoulder, a Hunter who currently had 89 points of true strength and 87 points of true stamina.
The fact that he didn't lose consciousness due to such a collision indicated that he had quite a bit of strength.
Su Xiao quickly recalled the information that Heaven had provided. Based on the description of the appearance, Su Xiao quickly realized who this elderly man was. He is the Treasurer of the kingdom, Rowan Harvey, and he is responsible for the finances of the kingdom and is also one of the king's confidants..
Some people might think that the king's entourage had the same views on certain things, but in reality this was not the case. Each of the king's entourage had a different view of the world, but this really only played into the hands of the king, because only in this way could a healthy system of power be created.
And, of course, each of the king's entourage had enormous power. If all these people had the same views, it would cause them to join forces and create a completely new faction that would make even the king nervous.
In total, there were four trusted representatives of the king. The first is the treasurer of the kingdom, Rowan Harvey, the second is" Hyena " Huslet, the commander of the kingdom's army, the third is Consul Joe Valentine, who is responsible for managing most of the officials, and finally the fourth is Iron Hand.
Finance, military power, official management, and the Emergency Regulator… All these levers were necessary to run the country, but if these levers decided to join forces and create one faction in the end, it would obviously not lead to anything good.
