Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Su Xiao picked up Rupert, walked out of the villa, and headed straight towards the royal capital.

As for the royal guards here, that depends on the old king's intention.

Rupert chose to lurk in Loulin Town, which undoubtedly indicates that there must be a channel for Rupert to pass on information.

I believe the old king will send a special intelligence agency to take over this matter.

Asking Su Xiao to catch the disc would be a waste of his talent.

Now that it is the general election period, the old king himself feels overwhelmed.

At this critical juncture, if Su Xiao was sent out to perform other tasks, it would be completely asking for trouble.

As they moved forward along the way, Su Xiao carefully checked the tools or mechanisms that Rupert was carrying.

I have to admit that this guy is really ruthless.

Not only did he carry explosives with him, he also had three poison needles hidden on his body and a poison sac implanted under the skin of his wrist.

It is very likely that Lupo has hidden other means of suicide, because he is ready to die at any time in order to prevent the secrets of the Undead from being leaked.

In order to prevent Rupert from committing suicide immediately after waking up, Su Xiao quickly took out a metal syringe from the storage space.

The syringe contains a pink solution, which is a treasure that Su Xiao brought out from the Hunter World. It is the venom secreted by a tentacle-like plant in Kukulu Mountain, and is a paralyzing toxin.

Although this toxin is not lethal, it is extremely paralyzing.

Before, this thing was not certified by the Samsara Paradise, and Su Xiao spent Paradise Coins to bring this precious item out from the Hunter World.

When Rupert was injected with this stuff, he couldn't even blink his eyes, let alone commit suicide.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao returned to the royal capital smoothly and arrived at the main gate of the palace.

Here, Su Xiao saw Bubu Wangzheng and Lin Yi carrying Yierduo.

Behind Lin Yi was Rowan Harvey with messy hair.

It was obvious that Rowan Harvey was forcibly dragged to the royal city by Lin Yi.

Given Rowan Harvey's not-so-outstanding physical fitness, it was really difficult for him to return to the royal city in such a short time.

The palace at night is an absolute restricted area. No one is allowed to enter or leave except a few members of the royal family.

Fortunately, the two of them were not within this restriction, and Su Xiao also had the old king's golden lion pendant.

After successfully entering the palace, Lin Yi and Su Xiao were led by two guards to the door of the Kingdom's Council Hall.

At this time, the old king was reminiscing about the past with several princes and princesses inside.

There are only five princes and princesses who are qualified to reminisce with the old king.

They are the eldest prince with amazing financial resources, the third prince who is very popular in the army, the seventh prince who represents the holy warriors, the second princess who is good at both black and white, and the sixth princess who has an extreme style of doing things.

The Sixth Princess was wearing a black gauze dress and looked to be around 20 years old, but in fact she was 27 years old.

This is a woman who has a very beautiful smile, but she is a femme fatale.

It is said that she has a unique hobby of collecting the eyeballs of powerful people.

"Father, Iron Hand came to see you so late, perhaps there is some good news?"

The eldest prince sat closest to the old king, and the smile on his face was still so gentle.

"maybe."

The old king's tone was flat. He did not have too many expectations for Su Xiao to bring any good news.

The incident happened around ten o'clock in the daytime, and from all indications, the whole thing was obviously carefully planned.

It is impossible to find out the clues so quickly in such a complicated situation.

"Perhaps the Iron Hand came to ask father for help? I know something about what happened during the day. It is very likely that the Undead did it."

The Sixth Princess' voice was very clear. When she looked at any prince or princess, the other party would subconsciously avoid looking at her.

Because in the eyes of other princes or princesses, the Sixth Princess is a mad dog.

No matter how beautiful she is, she can't hide her mad dog-like character.

boom!
The door of the Kingdom's meeting hall was suddenly pushed open with a loud noise.

The eldest prince, the third prince and others were startled by the sudden noise. Their first reaction was that an assassin had arrived, and their expressions instantly became tense.

The old king rubbed his forehead gently. It was obvious that the old lion was accustomed to all kinds of emergencies.

"Huh? Why are you with Iron Hand?" The eldest prince, the third prince and others showed a hint of surprise on their faces when they saw Lin Yi following Su Xiao.

You know, in everyone's cognition, Iron Hand Su Xiao is the old king's sharp blade. No one dares to touch this knife. Once touched, it will be a dead end.

"It's okay, I asked him to follow." The old king helped Lin Yi out of the predicament. The crown princes around him frowned slightly when they heard this.

Several people were thinking in their hearts what the old king's behavior meant.

Seeing the expressions of his children around him, the old king couldn't help but sigh.

This is also the reason why he prefers to stay with his eldest nephew Lin Yi.

The old king has been scheming against his children all his life, and now that he is old, he really doesn't want to continue scheming.

"Iron Hand, what's going on?" Because there were "outsiders" present, the old king's tone was very different from usual.

If it was just Su Xiao and the old king, the old king's first words would probably be "Iron Hand, come forward" or "How's the matter going", which would be much more casual than it is now.

"Okay." Su Xiao's answer surprised several princes and princesses.

This answer was too casual. They all looked at the old king, but found that the old king's expression did not change at all. Perhaps this was the attitude of the two in their daily interactions.

As for Lin Yi, he is even more casual than Su Xiao.

When the old king refused to take the medicine before, Lin Yi almost pointed at his nose and scolded the old king.

But surprisingly, the old king fell for it.

In the old king's opinion, Lin Yi's way of expressing family affection was actually an alternative way.

This is much more comfortable than the hypocritical interactions he has with his children, the eldest prince. The old king has struggled in the vortex of power all his life and has seen too much hypocrisy and flattery.

"The mastermind behind this."

Su Xiao threw Rupert, who was in his hand, to the ground. At this moment, Rupert was wearing a silk pajamas. The only flaw was that his head was a little bald, which made his temperament look a little weird.

"This is……"

The old king frowned. He felt that it was unlikely that the mastermind behind this incident was a human, but he thought that this human might be a disguised undead.

"He is Luper, the leader of the Necromancer intelligence organization."

"Rupert."

The old king slowly stood up from his throne.

"Father, be careful..."

The eldest prince pretended to stand up as well, and the old king waved his hand, preparing to go closer to take a look.

"This is the murderer who killed the little princess."

After Su Xiao finished his story, Lin Yi threw Yierduo in front of several people.

After hearing Su Xiao's story, the younger Seventh Prince opened and closed his mouth slightly, his face full of shock.

He was shocked by Su Xiao's amazing efficiency.

Such a serious incident happened, but within less than 12 hours, a series of related personnel were all caught, including Luper, a big shot who was in charge of the entire Undead spy organization.

Several princes and princesses looked at each other, their eyes revealing complicated emotions.

Today they finally understood why the Iron Hands had those seemingly outrageous privileges.

The efficiency Su Xiao is showing right now is too terrifying.

This is the Iron Hand. Although his position is not high, he has no military or financial power and cannot manage any officials. Moreover, the work he does is extremely risky and will offend many people.

But the Iron Hand is the person the old lion trusts the most. During the struggle for power, once these princes or princesses do something too extreme, such as using means such as colluding with the enemy to exclude dissidents, the Iron Hand will be their nightmare.

"The mastermind is the undead Luper, and his known helpers include Dunk Nick and Ildur.

Yesterday, the little princess died at the hands of the commander of the Karen Army. The queen drank poison to delay me. All this was to attract my attention, lead me away, and carry out an assassination in the banquet hall, but the assassination failed. "

"Where's Dunk Nick?"

Of course the old king knew who Dunk Nick was; it was a name that kept him awake at night.

"Kill it."

"Yes, Not Bad."

"By the way, old man, I just caught a big fish for you." Lin Yi clapped his hands. At this time, the door of the Kingdom Parliament Hall was opened again.

The eldest prince and the others present were almost numbed by the series of accidents.

They opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief, and at this moment they just wanted to know how all this happened.

At this time, Rowan Harvey appeared in everyone's sight with an untidy beard.

He looked a little disheveled, with messy hair and a tired face.

There is no way. Lin Yi doesn't care so much when he is on the road. In his opinion, as long as Rowan Harvey is not dead, it's fine.

Rowan Harvey is an important "big fish" and may play a vital role for the old Kings.

"Your Majesty." Rowan Harvey's voice trembled slightly. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the old king's eyes.

"Rowan Harvey, I want to know why you betrayed me." The old king slowly returned to his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly.

After the old king said this, the meeting hall suddenly fell into silence.

"Gurgle." The sound of swallowing saliva was heard, coming from the eldest prince.

Normally speaking, the eldest prince's calm personality would not lead him to lose his composure like this.

However, Rowan Harvey was the treasurer of the kingdom, and the eldest prince was very knowledgeable about finance, so he lost his composure.

If Rowan Harvey really did something to the kingdom's finances, it would not be as simple as the kingdom losing a certain amount of gold coins.

This could lead to a series of serious consequences and even affect the stability of the entire kingdom.

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. My parents have always been in the hands of the other party. After my parents died one after another, the Undead Clan captured my sister and forced me to work for them."

Rowan Harvey smiled bitterly, his heart full of bitterness.

To be honest, anyone who wants to be a spy can do it, but the problem is that Rowan Harvey's talent is too special and cannot be copied at all.

Although Rowan Harvey is a mixed-race, he is an extremely rare mixed-race person, and it can even be said that he is the first case in history.

He has absolutely no characteristics of the Undead. No matter how you look at him, he looks 100% human.

In other words, there was no detectable undead blood in his body at all.

Initially, the Undead also thought that Rowan Harvey was a human.

Because of this, his mother was almost exiled for infidelity.

However, something happened that changed Rowan Harvey's life, and that was the awakening of the power of the dead in his childhood.

You know, the power of the dead can be acquired later or inherited.

As a two-year-old child, Rowan Harvey had no conditions to acquire the power of the dead.

This incident alarmed the high-ranking members of the Undead Clan, and they began to conduct in-depth research on Rowan Harvey, the half-Undead.

After a careful study, the top leaders of the Undead Clan came to the conclusion that Rowan Harvey was indeed a mixed-race, and a mixed-race with Undead tendencies, but his physical features were completely human.

The Undead leaders immediately realized Rowan Harvey's great value.

Initially, the Undead high-ranking officials intended to train Rowan Harvey towards the military side, but Rowan Harvey's qualifications were limited.

But when Rowan Harvey was seventeen years old, he showed surprising financial talent.

After decades of careful operation, Rowan Harvey became the treasurer of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin at the age of fifty-nine and was deeply trusted by the old king.

As a price, Rowan Harvey's family was held hostage by the Undead to ensure that Rowan Harvey would not commit treason.

The old king stared at Rowan Harvey, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

Thousands of words finally turned into this heavy sigh.

"Take him away. Remember to keep him under close watch. No harm can happen to him." The old king waved his hand and ordered two guards to hold Rowan Harvey down.

Rowan Harvey lowered his head and left silently with the guards.

There is no way, Rowan Harvey's position is too critical.

The old king did not dare to kill Rowan Harvey directly, so he had to find a way to make Rowan Harvey tell him everything he knew.

"Old man, I brought the person back for you. I haven't slept well these two days. I have been running around all the time. See how you can compensate me." Lin Yi approached the old king and pointed at the dark circles around his eyes.

The so-called dark circles were actually the smoky makeup that Lin Yi had just put on. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's physical condition, he would have no problem enduring for dozens more days.

"Okay, okay, you just keep staring at the materials in my secret vault. Here's the token, now get out of here." The old king looked at Lin Yi helplessly and threw a token to him.

"Okay, Iron Hand, come with me to move the materials. I may not be able to move them alone." Lin Yi's face was full of excitement, and he turned around to greet Su Xiao.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Lidya Su could no longer hold back her emotions.

He forced himself to keep a straight face and looked at the old king.

The old king opened his eyes and glanced at Su Xiao. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: just follow this guy.

In this way, Su Xiao and Lin Yi successfully left the Kingdom Council Hall and came to the vicinity of the Royal Secret Library.

Here, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw more than a dozen holy warriors leading a patrol. The sky was blocked directly with an alchemical array, and not even a bird could get close.

"Token." After Lin Yi and Su Xiao approached, several holy warriors blocked their way.

Although they recognized the identities of Lin Yi and Su Xiao, they still had to go through the process.

After all, the royal secret treasury is of great importance and cannot be sloppy in the slightest.

Lin Yi took out the token thrown to him by the old king from his pocket. After several holy warriors carefully checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the token, they made way.

Entering the secret vault, Lin Yi and Su Xiao saw a large number of rare alchemical materials.

While carefully identifying the medicinal materials in front of him, Lidya Su gently rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks.

What he hated most was pretending to be a spy. He had to be very careful in everything he said and did, or his identity would be exposed if he wasn't careful.

But the power of the Iron Hand is too high. Without the power of the Iron Hand, Su Xiao would not be able to know so many secrets about the royal family.

This made him feel helpless, but he had to admit the convenience brought by this power.

In just ten minutes, all the precious medicinal materials in the warehouse were divided up by the two of them.

"Aren't you going to take anything else?"

"Taking too much can lead to trouble."

He did not take all the medicinal herbs here, but only cleared out some rare ones.

In this way, outsiders will not suspect anything when they see it. After all, Lin Yi's identity determines that he likes these rare medicinal materials the most.

"Speaking of which, the one who has the greatest impact on Rowan Harvey's treason this time is probably the eldest prince."

"Well, if he is a smart man, he will choose to quit on his own."

Su Xiao agreed with Lin Yi's statement. The most embarrassing thing about the eldest prince was that he used to have a very good relationship with Rowan Harvey. Even his financial skills were taught by Rowan Harvey.

In such a situation, the eldest prince must avoid suspicion.

There's no way, who made the eldest prince so close to Rowan Harvey?

If Rowan Harvey had not gotten into trouble, the eldest prince would have been able to prosper with the help of Rowan Harvey's powerful influence.

Now that Rowan Harvey is in trouble, the eldest prince will naturally have to bear the corresponding consequences.

On the other hand, just as Su Xiao and Lin Yi had guessed, the eldest prince gritted his teeth and made a decision, choosing to withdraw from the competition for the throne and instead devote himself to the operation of investigating the kingdom's financial problems.

This move did not surprise anyone, including the old king.

The current eldest prince does not have enough capital to continue to gain a foothold in this fierce competition for the throne.

However, what other competitors never expected was that the third prince also chose to withdraw from the competition.

The excuse he gave was that he wanted to guard the border to prevent the Undead from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.

If the Kingdom of Saint Soudin is likened to a magnificent pyramid, then the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the supreme royal power.

The next level is military power, finance and governance, and the next level is the various institutions branching out from these three.

These three are like solid pillars, jointly supporting the royal power.

If there is a problem in any link, the royal power may be in danger of direct collapse.

"Don't you two regret it?"

"No regrets." The eldest prince and the third prince answered in unison. Don't think that the two of them will become brothers because of this. Even now, they still dislike each other.

"Okay, so be it."

The old king stood up and slowly walked out of the meeting room. (End of this chapter)
