Su Xiao walked out of the narrow alley. Bubo Wang and Baha were already waiting at the entrance of the narrow alley. As for Amu, it was just outside the city of Arans.
Because there is too little known information, Su Xiao is not allowed to go to the Holy Court for the time being. It is the center of power of the Serra Empire. It does not have a certain status and nothing can be done even if it gets there.
Baja spread his wings and flew high into the sky, heading straight for the old Duke Adrian Alf's manor, which was located about five kilometers away from the city of Arans.
As for the first-class honor of the Serra Empire in Su Xiao's hand, he was not going to use it. Once the starting point was determined, he could only follow that line and canonize it one by one.
There is no need to think about it. The old duke's manor is definitely full of dangers. With Su Xiao's current strength, it is not impossible to break through. Although it is impossible to resist the Serra Empire's army, there is no problem in breaking through a duke's manor.
Moreover, Bu Bu Wang can also detect the situation in the Duke's manor. If it is too dangerous there, Su Xiao has other methods.
It is indeed interesting to fight with the enemy's wits and courage, but why go around in a big circle when you can solve the problem directly and recklessly? When you encounter a person in power who cannot stand up to you, then fighting with the opponent's wits and courage is the best choice.
Baha quickly disappeared from Su Xiao's sight. As for Penny, who had moved freely, she was responsible for looking for traces of Xi this time.
Xi likes cats very much, and as a cat, Beni can survive for a while by being cute even if she is discovered, as long as she is not completely seen through.
Besides, Beini has never seen any big winds and waves. It has actually been to more dangerous places than Su Xiao. It’s just that one is a dog and the other is a direct kill.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao arrived under the city wall of Arans City. The wall was conservatively estimated to be thirty meters high. This shows the impact of the war on this country.
Su Xiao leaned against the city wall, and 5 minutes and 23 seconds later, he stepped on Eminem's forearm with one foot.
Bang!
Su Xiao broke through a layer of air waves, and as he gradually slowed down in mid-air, he finally landed on top of the city wall.
When they came to the other side of the city wall, Su Xiao jumped down. After a while, Amu also climbed up the city wall and jumped down from where Su Xiao was before.
Outside the city wall is a moat, and beyond are endless green wheat fields. In terms of farming and animal husbandry, the Serra Empire has completely surpassed the Northern Alliance. Over there is a bitter cold land, where the people are tough, good at fighting, but not good at production.
It was midday at this time, and the sun was bright in the sky. Of course, it was not the time to sneak into... and invade the Duke's manor. Night was more suitable for this kind of thing.
Su Xiao found a crooked tree, lay on the crooked tree, crossed her legs, and took a nap while listening to the chirping of cicadas.
Scarecrows were inserted in the wheat fields one by one. BooBoo Wang squatted under a scarecrow and had a great time playing with the scarecrow.
The sun in the sky went from fierce to red, then slowly disappeared into the horizon.
When the bright moon was high in the sky, Su Xiao straightened his upper body from the crooked branch of the tree. The night breeze caressed him and rested for a whole afternoon, which made him particularly energetic.
"Is the situation at the Duke's estate determined?"
"It's confirmed. There are no more than 20 guards on the surface. As for the ones hidden in the dark..."
Baha looked at BuBuWang.
"Woof."
Bubu barked, which means that the amount of information is relatively large, so let's talk about it on the team channel.
According to Bubouwang's investigation, there are 29 guards in the Duke's manor, of which 20 are in the open and the remaining 9 are in the dark.
For an imperial duke, this is a bit unbelievable. You must know that the old duke has garrison power and can station 500 to 2,000 soldiers near the manor to protect himself and his relatives.
The old Duke Adrian Alver not only did not station troops in the manor, but also reduced the number of guards. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit abnormal.
Su Xiao felt that this should be a battle between power factions. According to the information Bubowang learned, the old Duke had been bedridden for a month and might kick off his legs at any time.
Of course, this is only what Bubo Wang saw, and there should be hidden secrets in it.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"Go in directly from the front entrance. We don't have any leverage now. The 'first pot of gold' is very important."
"learn."
Baha disappeared into the night, and Su Xiao also jumped down from the crooked branch of the tree, inserting the Sheathed Dragon Slayer into her waist.
Ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived in front of the Duke's Manor. The manor covers an area of about 3 hectares, the size of four football fields. The exterior walls are not too high, showing a sense of the times without appearing shabby.
"slim Shady."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Eminem had already strode forward, making dents everywhere he passed.
boom!
Broken stones flew everywhere, and Eminem directly broke through the wall and rushed into the manor, and then nothing happened.
No guards rushed forward, only a dozen hounds rushed forward, barking loudly at Amu. Although they were trembling with fear, they still performed their duties.
"Moo!"
Amu roared angrily, and the dozen or so hounds were so frightened that they urinated and pooped out, and their legs were weak from fear.
Buzz~
A strange whistle sound was heard, and the next moment, the muscles on the bodies of the dozen hounds suddenly bulged, their white canine teeth protruded, and they rushed towards Eminem with their mouths full of saliva.
With a whoosh, a hound rushed out of an afterimage, suddenly appeared in front of Eminem, and bit him on the head.
Eminem was also fierce. He gave himself a big mouth with a backhand, and with a snap, the head of the hound, which had turned into a madman, was beaten to pieces. The bite it just bit did not even break Eminem's skin membrane.
A short scream suddenly appeared, blood spattered, and Baha flicked his claws, throwing out a woman wearing animal skins and a bone and tooth necklace. The woman was hiding just now.
At the same time, in the castle at the back of the manor, a pair of red eyes opened in the darkness.
"Duke Li Lin's people are here. Fortunately, your Excellency has thought of it already."
"For the family."
"for……"
As soon as the sound in the darkness appeared, a whistling sound suddenly came.
Boom!
A round stone smashed through the wall and sank into the wall further behind. Cold air spread from the round stone.
Ten seconds later, several figures rushed out of the castle shrouded in darkness and headed straight for Amu.
The castle was eerily quiet. In a bedroom on the third floor, an old man with a haggard face and skinny bones was lying on the bed. It seemed that he might die at any time.
With a bang, the window was pushed open, and the night wind blew the curtains.
"I will pay you a hundred times as many gold pounds as Li Lin gives you."
The old man lying on the bed spoke, he was none other than the old Duke Adrian Alf.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, but dragged a chair over and sat on it.
Realizing this, the old Duke, who was lying on the bed, sat up and heard the sound of bones rubbing against each other everywhere in his body.
"You are not from Duke Li Lin."
The old Duke looked at Lidya Su with his cloudy eyes.
"Saint."
Su Xiao looked at the old Duke. Just now, he felt the gray and black aura of the other party, that kind of sticky 'death'. This was the first time he had seen it.
The old Duke is critically ill? Don't be kidding me. Saints will never die naturally. This is obviously a trap.
There were constant roars in the courtyard, and 8 guards besieged Eminem. Eminem's heart was at peace. If these little dwarfs weren't so fast, they would have beaten them down one after another.
Under the moonlight, eight men and women in different clothes were surrounding Amu. They all had a thought at the same time: 'Where did this monster come from?'
In the old Duke's bedroom, Su Xiao was sitting in front of the window, and the old Duke was sitting by the bed, and the two looked at each other in silence.
"Li Lin, it's impossible and not qualified to recruit someone like you. Young man, tell me what you want."
The old Duke lit the whale oil lamp on the bedside table, and the dim flame dispelled the darkness.
"..."
Su Xiao still didn't speak. He was thinking about what he had been involved in and whether he could get convenience from it.
"Are you from the abyss?"
The old Duke really couldn't figure out where the people came from to have such strong oppressive power. He could already see the flowing blood in the air.
"Let's make a deal. I want the power of the Duke. In return, I will let you reincarnate from the dead. I'm not sure it will work, but it's just possible."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the old Duke, who had lived for who knows how many years, was stunned for a moment, then smiled sadly.
"Young man, do you think I, Adrian Alfer, am really afraid of you?"
The old Duke's eyes gradually turned gray-black, thick black smoke drifted from all parts of his body, and he decided not to hide his strength anymore.
Zheng~
Su Xiao slowly pulled out the long knife from her waist. Suddenly, blood rushed out like an explosion, and the glass window crackled.
The white hair on the old Duke's head was blown by the blood, and his withered cheeks twitched twice.
"Young man, what did you just say?"
The old Duke sat back on the bed, with a gracious expression as if everyone was a civilized person, there was no need to use knives or guns.
"I want the power of the Duke's position, and in return I can reincarnate you from the dead. Of course, it's only possible."
"Well, let's talk carefully. My nephew from the country, have you had dinner?"
The old Duke smiled kindly and looked like a kind-hearted old man. Just now, he had determined that it was impossible to defeat Su Xiao. The means he reserved could only deal with the saint. He was preparing
He had been planning for a long time to get rid of a confidant of his old rival.
Immortal? Stop talking about it. If it is chopped into pieces, the old Duke will also die.
The old Duke was a little unlucky. He originally wanted to attract Duke Li Lin's people, but before the people there came, Su Xiao arrived.
