Su Xiao opened his eyes. He had taken a nap just now. After all, he was about to enter the Dead City. After arriving there, it was still unknown whether he would have a chance to rest.
"Here comes someone."
Wu Fu looked at the door, coughed slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared. He already had a sense of majesty as a person in power.
Two guards dragged the cloth bag into the room.
"Woo! Woo!"
The person in the bag was struggling. Seeing this, Wu Fu leaned over and whispered in Su Xiao's ear: "Sir, this extraordinary person is the best we can find. She can block sound, perception, vibration, and light within 300 meters.
It can even block most of the energy. If she is disobedient, there are four candidates, but their abilities are very different. The best one can only block sounds and a small part of vibrations."
"Yeah, I got it."
"Open."
Under Wolf's order, the bag was opened, and a woman appeared, tied up and gagged with linen. Obviously, this wild supernatural being was very uncooperative, so Wolf transferred 1,000 frontier troops to 'invite' this woman over
.
"Sir, this is the 'Nodding Crow'."
Wolf took out a glass bottle from his arms, which contained a light yellow liquid.
"Woo! Woo!"
Seeing the 'Nodding Crow' potion, the female transcendent struggled even more violently, with three long swords placed on her neck.
After the female transcendent stopped struggling, the guards untied the rope from her body and retreated to the door. Although the door had been closed, they would rush into the room as soon as there was any movement in the room.
"Hoo, ho...who are you?"
The female transcendent gasped for breath. She had short flaxen hair, and she wore slim leather armor on her upper body. There were many small pockets on her thick cloth coat, and she had a loose belt around her waist, which made people feel like her pants might fall off at any time.
.
"I am Wu Fu, the current imperial minister."
Wu Fu looked at the female transcendent coldly. Facts have proved that there are basically no good people who can work under Su Xiao. Wu Fu was a military ruffian when he was young. Although he was lucky enough to climb to the position of commander in middle age, he also had bad records.
He is the kind of person who will be thrown into the trap by those in power wherever there is dirty work.
"Right...Right Royal"
The female supernatural looked at Wu Fu in astonishment. Although she was a wild supernatural, she also knew who You Yu was. He was a big shot who would shake the entire holy city and even the entire empire with just one stamp of his feet.
The female supernatural being's name is Veroni. Judging from her record of being imprisoned 12 times, we can see that she is not a very evil person. Her 12 imprisonment experiences were extremely weird. She got into a fight in a bar and accidentally injured the grocery store guy next door.'
He kidnapped the maid of a certain noble, and was later blackmailed by the maid. They were both imprisoned, and they stole the guardrails of the Holy City wall, and later claimed that it was caused by sleepwalking.
Judging from the fact that the total time spent in jail for 12 times was less than two years, the worst thing she ever did was the kidnapping case.
Veroni looked at Wu Fu with astonishment, and swallowed her saliva. Soon, she turned her eyes to Su Xiao, because both Wu Fu and the old master were standing, and only Su Xiao was sitting there.
There was also a plate of steaming hot seafood noodles in his hand.
She looked at Wu Fu and then at Su Xiao, her heart thumped, and she thought to herself, could this be the new king who came recently? Isn't the new king a woman?
"Your name is..."
Wolfe tapped his head lightly with his fingers. He had to contact too many people every day and couldn't remember Veroni's name at all.
"I am Veroni, 21 years old, living in Steel Fang outside the Holy City, single, my hometown is..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Wu Fu waved his hand and looked at Lidya Su.
"Sir, is this okay?"
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He just ate seafood noodles and looked Veroni up and down. Finally, he looked at the old magic stick.
"What about this? If it doesn't work, let Woof take care of it."
Su Xiao's seemingly casual words made Veroni's heart tremble. She was sure that this was definitely a super big shot. You Yu was groveling in front of the opponent, like a bitch. She, a wild extraordinary person, would be able to do it in a matter of minutes.
Crushed to death.
"This person..."
The old magician immediately understood what Su Xiao meant and began to look Veroni up and down. Wolfe on the side also understood that he had done this kind of thing with Su Xiao countless times, so he took a step forward.
"I, I am very strong, no, I am very useful, I will..."
"Just deal with it."
Su Xiao suddenly spoke, and the old magician sighed, put one hand on his chest, and said: "Poor child, God will accept you."
"Wait, wait, at least let me know what you want me to do. It's so unacceptable to die like this."
Veroni actually wanted to pounce on Su Xiao many times, capture this super big man, use him as a hostage to escape from the manor, and then fly away, or at worst, go to "eat grass" abroad.
"Wolf, I leave this to you, you choose from the successors..."
As soon as Su Xiao opened her mouth, Veroni suddenly stood up. Without seeing any movement from her, she had already gone around behind Su Xiao and strangled Su Xiao's throat with one hand.
"Don't even come here!"
Veroni roared. Although her arms were slender, they were quite powerful.
"You, and you, I'm talking about you, Emperor Youyu, stand back! Otherwise I will strangle his neck."
Veroni was breathing heavily, her heart was pounding, and she strangled Su Xiao's neck with one arm, while Su Xiao continued to chew the noodles in her mouth.
"Calm down, if he makes any mistake, the 370,000 soldiers in the Holy City will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs. I will not let you go, and neither will Zuoyu Walkerley."
Wu Fu's cheeks were twitching. After all, acting is very tiring.
"I don't care, it was you who forced me. I was sleeping, and suddenly a bag fell down on me. Even if I die today, you won't have a good time. It's great to see you, the imperial minister, so nervous."
Veroni turned her head and looked at Su Xiao who was very close. What surprised her was that after Su Xiao swallowed the noodles in his mouth, he naturally picked up the white tablecloth and wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth.
"You, don't move!"
"It's not bad, at least the crisis response is good, and I won't be so nervous that I lose judgment in the Dead City."
As Su Xiao spoke, she raised her hand and grabbed Veroni's arm. Veroni retracted her arm as if she was electrocuted and took a few steps back.
"As long as you are satisfied, my lord, I still have to deal with the turmoil in the southern border, so..."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Wolf pushed the door open and walked out of the room, leaving Veroni with a face full of doubts about life.
"It's not an important thing to come to you. I'm going to enter the Deadly City tomorrow morning and I need your ability. You have the right to refuse."
Su Xiao sat back on the chair. The old magician looked at Veroni with gentle eyes and said, "My child, the God of Light is protecting you."
"City of Death? Isn't that a legend?"
Veroni never mentioned the matter of rejection, because she knew that after learning that Su Xiao was going to enter the City of Silence, her rejection would mean death.
"You don't have to worry about this. As long as you are willing to enter the City of Death, feel free to ask for any requests you have."
"I want 3 million black stones!"
Veroni hesitated several times before offering this price. At least in her opinion, this was an impossible and sky-high price.
"Can."
"ha?"
Veroni took a few steps back. She originally came up with a high price, and then bargained with Su Xiao to ask Su Xiao to do something for her.
The old magician walked out of the room and returned within half a minute.
With a bang, a big cloth bag was thrown in front of Veroni, and the currency carved out of spar fell with a splash, reflecting a black luster in the sun, which was very attractive.
"This is 5 million black stones, and it's yours now."
Su Xiao was not worried about what Veroni would do when she arrived in Dead City, because once she got there, unless Veroni wanted to die, she would have no choice but to cooperate, and Su Xiao had follow-up methods.
"I, I..."
Veroni, who had been smashed into a repeater by money, leaned against the window. She swore to God that she was really just a lion talking loudly.
Poverty limited Veroni's imagination. Even if she had just offered 10 million black stones, there would only be two big bags thrown in front of her, and there would be no other changes. The money was obtained by Su Xiao on the way to seize power, and there is no point in keeping it.
