Chapter 1551.2: Witches and Traitors
----
Day, in the king's castle, bedroom on the third floor.
*
Knock, knock, knock...
Someone knocked on the wooden door.
Su Xiao, who was currently drawing something on paper, looked at the door and signaled Melody to open it.
— Master, your lunch, " the maid said as she wheeled the food cart into the room and stopped in front of Su Xiao.
Picking up a piece of bread from the cart, he was about to take a bite when he suddenly seemed to think of something important, after which he made a couple of sketches on paper and took a bite of the bread.
After finishing a few more touches, Su Xiao looked up and looked at the maidservant standing by the food cart.
She immediately bowed and left the room.
— Su Xiao spat out the bread, took out a test tube, and rinsed his mouth with a light green solution.
There were more than just witches in this city. The king's servants weren't exactly normal, even the king's trusted men, Kang and Avakin, clearly had some connection to what was happening in the city.
Given the internal and external problems, what happened in this city was only the result of poor decisions and blindness of the ruler. Of course, Su Xiao didn't come here to help rebuild the city or anything like that. And he wasn't interested in traitors at all. He only wanted to find the witches and kill them.
This was the essential difference between Su Xiao and all these "brave heroes". If a hero arrived in this city, he would first save the civilians, creating a lot of problems for himself, and then start looking for the root of the problems. If the hero had a brainless heroine in the group, he would also have to collect strong evidence of the guilt of this or that person, which would cause a lot of trouble.
Yes, the hero will eventually be able to defeat the witch, but at what cost? By the end of the battle, the witch will probably know everything about him, including what color underpants he was wearing.
The incident, which could have been resolved in no time, will actually last for some time, and the final battle will be full of overcoming, although in the end the main character will still win and reach a happy ending.
Su Xiao's plan was simple and crude. He had to find the witches as soon as possible and kill them immediately. As for the civilians and traitors, it was up to the ruler of these lands to do it. Even though he looked like he could die at any moment, he was definitely an expert at underhanded games, after all, he was already an old man, still in power, and clearly had a reputation for being a good ruler.
However, finding the witches wasn't easy. Su Xiao suspected that there were at least three witches in the city, otherwise they wouldn't have tried to destroy such a large city.
While he was thinking about this, the door to his room opened and the king's trusted servant, Kang, walked in.
After glancing at a piece of bread, he walked over to Su Xiao without even changing his expression.
— Sir, Avakin was found, but...
— He's dead?
— Yes, according to the report, he died more than three days ago.
— Su Xiao dropped the pen and looked at Kang. "The witches have found more suitable candidates, and they no longer need Avakin?
— Kang looked at Su Xiao doubtfully, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about at all.
— If I were a witch and decided to destroy this city, I would have to bribe or find dirt on the king's entourage. After all, compared to wooden houses, living in such a large castle is much more pleasant, right? Su Xiao carefully observed Kang's face as he spoke, but from the look on his face, he didn't seem to understand what was being discussed at all.
Was this a normal reaction? Only when a person did something bad did they try to stay calm. If Kang was on the king's side, he might not be shocked, but at the very least, he would start to suspect something or even worry about the king's safety, but there wasn't a single bit of worry on his face right now.
— Okay, you're useless.
— Kang was really confused this time, as he didn't catch what Su Xiao said.
A short sword made of Qing Gang Yin energy appeared in Su Xiao's hand. It was similar in structure to an energy shield.
With a whoosh, it immediately left Su Xiao's hand and flew towards Kang's head.
The servant immediately jumped out of the way, but the short sword immediately changed its trajectory and pierced right through the boy's head.
Kang clearly had some kind of power, but his opponent was clearly not at his level.
With a crash, the body slammed into the wall.
As soon as Kang died, the wooden door swung open and revealed a view of pitch darkness, even though it was one o'clock in the afternoon right now.
