Chapter 1551.1: Witches and Traitors
The old king's snores kept rolling around the hall. This parasitic egg had almost completely drained him, and in addition to the egg, he had already been working day and night for the past few days, which was why even without the parasite's "help", he was exhausted both mentally and physically. Now, even if he was no longer tormented by this parasite, he can live at best for about six months, but in fact he can live for about a month or two.
Anyone with more than seven spans of intelligence could see that Su Xiao had saved the old king's life, so all the servants surrounding him were now confused.
— Ahem, master, please forgive us, " one of the servants said and bowed in apology.
— Master, you must be tired from your journey, so maybe you should rest first?..
— No, take me to the river.
— The senior servant winked at his young colleague, signalling for him to prepare a room for the guests, food for all of them, and so on.
— Follow me, sir.
When they emerged from the castle, the smell of burning was constantly hitting them in the face.
Half the city had turned to charcoal, so the richness of the burning smell in the air was easy to imagine.
Half of the civilians had been moved to other homes, and the streets were filled with screams..
Ordinary people were howling in helplessness as they suffered from these parasites, but unfortunately, not all of them were like a king with a ton of resources and servants.
When Su Xiao walked out onto one of the streets, he saw a few shriveled corpses. The parasite eggs were still in these corpses, and since the witches clearly had to take them away, they had to do something about it.
— What do you do with such bodies?
— Burn it down.
— Who is responsible for this?
— Mr. Avakin, " the servant replied and lowered his head, but the tone in which he answered this question was a little displeased, except that for some reason his eyes were moving in different directions.
— Bring him to me.
— This... the servant was confused. "Master, the fact is that there are too many corpses in the city, and I haven't seen Mr. Avakin for a long time.
— Really? Well, then, take me to the river.
— "Yes, master," the servant said, and sped up. His name was Kang. In this world, commoners were often given monosyllabic first and last names.
Kang was relatively thin and looked frail, but as a trusted servant of the king, he couldn't be weak.
With Kang's help, Su Xiao, Bubtney, and Melody headed towards the river. Since Amu was too conspicuous, he was in charge of guarding the carriage. In any case, until the fight starts, Amu won't be much help to them.
Su Xiao was second in line, and Melody reached out and grabbed his windbreaker, then pulled it down slightly.
But he ignored her, and she rolled her eyes in anger.
Seeing this, Bubtney sighed and looked at her, wanting to say, " Don't worry, just don't die if anything happens».
Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived at the river in the eastern part of the city. It was an artificial river about five meters wide and more than ten meters deep. Stone steps were installed on both sides of the river to make it easier for ordinary residents to carry water.
Judging by its depth, it was originally a natural river, but later it was artificially expanded and given a very neat appearance.
There were several fishing boats drifting along the river. This river was used not only as a source of clean water, but also as a source of fish. Moreover, this river connected to a large river outside the city, which allowed goods to be transported along this river.
It was safe to say that it was the presence of this river that made Nikodo City so prosperous.
— But before the servant could finish, Su Xiao had already jumped into the river with a splash.
A few seconds later, Su Xiao, who was soaked through, came out on the beach.
— No further questions, take me to my room.
— Of course, then follow me, master, everything is ready.
Kang led the way as before, and the group soon returned to the castle.
Not long after they left, two women in black robes came out of the abandoned house.
— The witch hunter has arrived, " one of them said.
— He's just a white-ranked hunter. It's all good. We have to deal with him secretly so that other hunters don't come here. If he dies of natural causes, it will give us at least a ten-day head start, which is more than enough time for us.
— It's up to you, but this is the first time I've seen a witch hunter working with a white witch.
After about a few minutes, a figure appeared by the river, looking a little agitated and carrying something in her hands.
— Put it down and get out of my sight.
— "Yes, yes," a man's voice answered, then carefully set the bag down and quickly left.
