Chapter 1194: Chief Justice
[
You killed the "Holy Warrior", "Poison and Victory", Joseph Ke.
Joseph Ke-former second - in-command of Angori, so you have received 1.6% of the World Source and have a total of 1.6% of the World Source.
Reminder: The Source of Peace is extremely difficult to obtain in a neutral world.
[
Your Soul Eater talent has been activated, and your mana pool has been increased by 30 points. The maximum amount of mana at the moment is 4,106 points.
[
You have received a treasure chest (legendary).
Reminder: The quality of dropped treasure chests in neutral worlds increases.
Su Xiao wasn't surprised to only get 1.6% of the World Source. He was told at the very beginning that it was very difficult to obtain a Source of Peace in neutral worlds.
And according to his guess, since it was very difficult to obtain a World Source in neutral worlds, the reward for even a small amount of World Source collected would be quite good.
As for the dropped chest, Su Xiao was a little surprised that he was given a legendary treasure chest for killing such a person. Yes, Joseph Ke was indeed strong, but he had obvious weaknesses in close combat. He lost almost immediately after Su Xiao got close to him.
According to Su Xiao's understanding, he should have been given a good gold chest for killing Joseph, but he received a legendary chest due to the influence of the neutral world.
Getting even one legendary chest was worth using the space and time coin. Even if he could only get the legendary consumables out of it, he would still be able to raise a good amount of money by selling them, and if he could get some equipment, he would get a fortune.
However, Su Xiao didn't have high hopes for this chest. Yes, it was legendary, but it became so because of the influence of the neutral world, and it couldn't be compared to the chest that fell from, for example, Hashirama Senju.
However, such a chest was quite a good reward for killing such an easy target.
After stretching his right leg for a bit, Su Xiao nodded. The power of this strike was terrifying. Although the punch itself looked simple, it actually carried too much power.
In addition to using all of his strength for this strike, this attack was also enhanced by his boots, Wood Spirit, and specialized melee combat.
From the outside, this strike looked quite ordinary, but in such simplicity there was a deadly danger.
Joseph's head hit the ground with a thud.
— Sometimes paying off old debts is expensive, " Su Xiao muttered. A person of this level couldn't possibly be a mercenary, and before he lost his head, he managed to say a few words.
«Er, I tried my best».
The Er that Joseph mentioned was, of course, Chief Justice Herve Anthony.
Bubtney was taking advantage of the chaos to try to find Herve, and since he was a smart dog, he knew very well that he couldn't find him with that "gorgeous" portrait, so after the battle started, he immediately snuck into the residence and started looking for the right office.
Only the owner of the residence or his family members could have a separate office inside the residence. The owner of this residence was the chief justice, so there would definitely be a lot of law-related books in his office. Even if he never opened most of them, he would still have furnished his office with the appropriate books, as this would give it a respectable appearance in front of the guests.
Many guests would have given the impression that he was dedicated to his work.
With the appropriate clues on his paws, after a couple of minutes of active searching, Bubtny found the right room.
As for why Bubtney wanted to find his office, it was quite simple. Given the current circumstances, the Chief Justice obviously wouldn't have stayed in his office and read something, and Bubtney knew it. He wanted to find his office because of the smells. Such a person's office would obviously have the least foreign odors, and it would not be difficult for him to find the right one..
It only took Bubtney 2 minutes to find the Chief Justice's scent.
As soon as he found the right scent, he immediately started tracking down the right person.
Bubtney wasn't stupid, he was a very smart dog, but it wasn't because of his acting that he wasn't a very smart dog in peacetime.
When something important wasn't happening, all sorts of ideas popped up in his head. Sometimes he wanted to bring them to life, but all his ideas were often too strange or simply impossible to implement.
Bubtney spent 5 minutes tracking down Herve. After killing the mercenaries who tried to lead him out of the capital, he brought him back to the residence without much trouble.
After setting him down on a chair in his office, Bubtney yawned and sat down at his desk.
— According to the kingdom's constitution, adultery is punishable by death... " said Chief Justice Herve. He was a plump old man with a clearly visible look of despair on his face. He had long thought that the king would decide to get rid of him, but there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he didn't want to give up the power that allowed him to decide a person's life and death with just a few words.
Sensing the impending danger, he carefully prepared himself. He hired mercenaries and recalled the service he had rendered more than ten years ago, with which he was able to gather a small army and a strong holy warrior in his residence.
He also secretly dug a secret passage under the residence and used various channels to send his children away from the capital.
The office doors opened and Su Xiao walked in.
When Chief Justice Herve saw him, he put the book down.
— Iron Hand, you were much stronger than I thought.
Herve's hands were shaking a little, but unlike the other three officials, he tried his best to remain calm in front of Su Xiao.
Bubtney got up and walked away from the table. He was only sitting next to him because Herve might try to do something wrong, but that wasn't necessary now.
— May I... last cup of tea? Herve asked and pointed at the cup of cold black tea on the table.
Su Xiao didn't say anything.
Herve forced a smile and took the cup. "Please tell His Majesty that I... don't hate him, even if he decided to kill me," he said, and took a sip, which made him visibly calm down.
— Who will be the new chief justice? Herve asked, seeming to know exactly what was going to happen next.
— You'll find out soon enough, " Su Xiao replied. He didn't immediately kill him, as he still had some matters to deal with, and he had more than two hours to complete the task.
Su Xiao sat down on a wooden chair, took out his sword, and began to wipe the blood off it.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
— Come in, " Su Xiao said, and the door swung open.
A thin, middle-aged man with brown hair entered the office. Despite his thinness, he gave off a calming aura.
This man's name was Steve, and he came from a remote city on the border of the kingdom.
— It turns out that it will be Steve. His Majesty has prepared so carefully... " the chief Justice said and laughed bitterly.
— I'll give you one hour, " Su Xiao said as he carefully examined his sword.
— Sir, if you only give us one hour ... " Steve only managed to say before he saw Su Xiao looking at him.
— One hour... I think that should be enough, " Steve said, laughing awkwardly as he walked over to the table. - Former Chief Justice Herve Anthony, let's get started.
