Chapter 1215.1: Astounding Efficiency
There was a slightly dilapidated house in the village of Bois. The lower part of this house was made of stones, while the upper part was made of wood.
It was warm in summer and cool in winter.
It was a simple house with bare walls, a black and yellow wooden table, two wooden stools with broken legs, and a bed that was seriously infested with insects and seemed like it could collapse under its own weight at any moment.
And on such a bed, a middle-aged man with a beard was fast asleep. He seemed to have worked all day, as evidenced by the hoe in the corner of the house, which was covered with wet earth.
The smell of sweat permeated the room where the man was sleeping, and combined with the man's loud snoring, he looked like a typical bachelor farmer who had worked all day and was currently recuperating.
If Su Xiao didn't get accurate information, even if this man passed by him, there was no way he would link him to the little princess ' murder.
There were only two possible explanations. First, Elduo was lying, and second, this "farmer" was too good at pretending.
— F-f-f~, " the man exhaled and scratched his face, sighed, turned over and continued sleeping.
According to Elduo, Luper, the grey cardinal, was not an outstanding fighter. His status among the undead wasn't low, it was true that he would have made a lousy warrior, but as far as strategies and evaluation were concerned...
If this man was really the Luper, then he was truly an outstanding strategist. He wasn't personally present in the kingdom's capital, but he was able to create quite the chaos in the royal family. If it wasn't for the king's actions in the banquet hall, then his plan would have been put into action.
Su Xiao carefully opened the wooden window a crack.
*Sk-r-r-r~*
There was a sound so subtle that any sleeping person would not have noticed it, but the man lying on the bed in the room suddenly opened his eyes and put his hand under the pillow.
*Boom!*
Sawdust flew into the house as Su Xiao smashed through the wall of the house and was right in front of the man's bed in an instant.
*Boom!*
Su Xiao punched the "farmer" in the lower abdomen. Along with a crunch, a hole appeared in the bed beneath him.
The object flew out from under the pillow.
It was a green metal ball.
Su Xiao grabbed it and immediately felt a huge temperature. Kicking the nearest part of the board, it immediately flew up with a whoosh and smashed through the roof, creating a hole in it.
Almost immediately, a green metal ball was thrown into the hole with all its might. In just a second, Su Xiao lost sight of him in this night sky.
He decided to put it as far away from him as possible because he felt that this ball was a very dangerous weapon.
After that, he hit the farmer's chin with his fist, causing him to lose consciousness.
*BOOM!*
A loud explosion rang out over Bois Village and a fireball with a diameter of three hundred meters appeared.
The villagers immediately woke up and some of them started screaming.
The fireball started to fall on the village, but eventually disappeared into the sky before it could do a single drop of damage.
Su Xiao now had no doubt that this farmer was the gray cardinal, the same Luper who had created this whole plan to eliminate the king, otherwise how could an ordinary farmer keep such a deadly weapon under his pillow?
[
Notification: The hunter successfully captured the mastermind of the assassination attempt, Luper. After passing Luper to the king, the Hunter will successfully complete the side mission "Secret of the Royal Family" and receive a new task.
Su Xiao grabbed Looper by the scruff of the neck and left the house.
Together with Bubtni, he immediately headed straight for the kingdom's capital.
Along the way, Su Xiao checked Looper for hidden weapons. Admittedly, this guy was quite ruthless. In addition to carrying explosives, he also had three poison needles, one of which was located right under his skin.
There might be things hidden in Luper's body that would kill him if anything happened, after all, he clearly knew a lot of undead secrets, and to prevent him from committing suicide right after waking up, Su Xiao took out a metal syringe from his inventory.
There was a pink liquid in this syringe.
This pink liquid was obtained by Su Xiao in the Hunter x Hunter world. It was the poison that was released by the tentacles in the mountain. More precisely, it was not a poison, but a paralytic toxin that did not kill a person, but only paralyzed them. Since he didn't have a Heaven certificate, Su Xiao had to spend some Heaven coins to preserve this toxin.
By injecting the contents of the syringe into Luper's body, Su Xiao could now be sure that he wouldn't be able to even blink, let alone commit suicide.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned to the kingdom's capital and walked to the main entrance of the palace.
The palace was a completely closed area at night, and no one but a few members of the royal family were allowed to enter or leave it. Fortunately, these rules didn't affect Su Xiao, and on top of that, he still had the golden king pendant.
As soon as he entered the palace, two royal guards immediately approached Su Xiao and led him to the door of the assembly hall, where the king and several princes and princesses were currently staying.
