Chapter 2133 The Death of the Angry Lion

The breeze blows in through the windows, making the environment in the inner sanctum more comfortable.

The Saint King has been taking a nap. Judging from the old Duke's expression, he seems to have been used to it for a long time. Moreover, his attitude towards the Saint King is also a bit strange, respectful but disrespectful.

Footsteps were heard, and an old man walked into the inner hall. His expression was serious, and his hooked nose matched his sharp eyes. It was obvious at a glance that he was a serious man.

Compared to the old duke, this old man looks more like an imperial duke in both his dress and aura. He is serious, unsmiling, old-fashioned but fair.

The old man stopped in front of the seat engraved with a forest pattern. He did not sit down, but looked at Su Xiao for a moment before sitting down.

"Ah? Isn't this Duke Li Lin? Who released you...ah no, you are really old and confused. How could you say such rude words?"

The old Duke seemed to have just discovered Duke Li Lin's presence. He was surprised and held his beloved wife in his hands.

"Wild dogs."

Li Lin's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the old Duke to hear.

"Kid, you will be punished by God for talking to your 'father' like this. It's a pity that your mother Fu Linna is no longer alive, otherwise..."

The old Duke's words contained a huge amount of information. This old guy had lived for who knows how many years. God knows if he had an affair with Duke Li Lin's mother.

A blue vein popped up on Duke Li Lin's forehead. Then, he didn't speak. This made the amount of information even greater.

In this situation, silence almost means acquiescence, and the old Duke, in all likelihood, really has some scandal with Duke Li Lin's biological mother. After all, the aristocratic circle of the empire is very chaotic.

"The combined age of the two of you is at least over a thousand years old. Isn't it a shame?"

A beautiful woman walked over. Her lazy and luxurious temperament completely made up for her age disadvantage. Moreover, she looked to be in her early thirties at most.

Moon Wolf Duke Eve has arrived. She smiles when she looks at everyone. Although she is not wearing any jewelry, she still looks noble. Temperament is something that sometimes cannot be compensated by external objects.

For some reason, almost everyone calls Moon Wolf Duke Eve Mrs. Moon Wolf instead of calling her Duke directly. There must be some hidden meaning in this.

Li Lin and Mrs. Moon Wolf were both present, but the remaining Duke Gilbert, the Raging Lion, had not yet arrived. This wait lasted until nine o'clock in the morning.

It was true that Gilbert was a duke, but he couldn't let the Saint King and the three dukes wait for more than an hour.

"Something happened to the angry lion."

Duke Li Lin spoke in a deep voice. Mrs. Moon Wolf beside her was obviously a little anxious. With her status and experience, few things could make her like this.

"A lion is never late, am I right?"

Li Lin turned his gaze and looked at the old Duke.

"This time...it was indeed not me."

God knows why the old duke directly denied it. Perhaps, this is because he has done too many bad things. Once something happens, other dukes will immediately think that this is what the old duke did.

"You can't be..."

The smile on Mrs. Moon Wolf's face gradually faded, her appearance was beautiful, but deadly.

The old Duke was speechless for a moment. The Raging Lion Duke hadn't come yet, something must have happened, and he was 'lucky' to be the biggest suspect.

Under the instruction of Madam Moon Wolf, an attendant quickly left the Holy Court. Within five minutes at most, Madam Moon Wolf learned something through intelligence channels. Duke Gilbert of the Raging Lion was killed and died in a winery outside the city. .

Dukes are not comparable to the officials of the empire. Every duke has huge power in his hands. More than 60% of the military power of the empire is in the hands of Duke Furious Lion. In addition, the empire is currently at war with the Northern Alliance. The death of Duke Furious Lion , almost equal to the collapse of half of the empire.

After hearing the news, Duke Li Lin proposed that the old Duke be detained in the Holy Court.

"Fart! What evidence do you have?"

The old Duke's face was trembling with anger. In fact, he knew clearly in his heart that neither Li Lin nor Mrs. Moon Wolf doubted him. The Serra Empire was the foundation of the saints and would destroy the empire's power system, especially in terms of military power. , almost tantamount to self-destruction.

"I don't need evidence to doubt you."

Mrs. Moon Wolf's words were extremely heartbreaking, but she had to do this now. Duke Gilbert of the Raging Lion died inexplicably. If the old Duke took the opportunity to make a fuss, they would be in trouble.

"Is this your decision?"

"That's right."

"We can only deal with the death of the angry lion if you stay here."

"Well, I'll stay here. I will stay in the Holy Palace until the cause of Angry Lion's death is found out."

The old Duke's words made both Li Lin and Mrs. Yuelang slightly surprised. They almost thought at the same time, could it be that this old guy really did it?

"But before that, I have something to announce. I once devoured gods, but after that, the immortal curse made me live in pain..."

"You'd better get to the point."

Mrs. Moonwolf couldn't bear to hear it. Is the old Duke living in pain? Don't be kidding, this old guy lives a more prosperous life than anyone else. He has married a lot of wives and has two of them with him.

"I am ready to temporarily lay down the power in my hands and hand it over to my nephew, Cuculin White Night, who is now the Duke."

"Nephew? Are you crazy?"

Li Lin looked at the old Duke with no expression on his face.

"Since you two agree, no, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. Today I am just announcing this matter. Whether you agree or not is not important."

The old Duke stood up and seemed to feel much more relaxed. It looked like he was going to take a walk in the garden behind the Holy Court.

Li Lin and Mrs. Yue Lang both looked at Su Xiao, because from beginning to end, Su Xiao remained silent.

"You two, do you have any prejudice against me, a normal human being?"

Su Xiao chewed the soul crystal fragments in his mouth. At the beginning of each world, he would eat some soul crystal fragments like eating jelly beans to increase the strength of his soul.

"Human beings will not be the descendants of saints..."

Halfway through Duke Li Lin's words, he found Su Xiao looking at him with a smile.

After a while, Duke Li Lin's expression returned to normal. He didn't need to negotiate with Su Xiao at all to judge how difficult Su Xiao was to deal with.

"Duke of White Night, it's incredible that you can actually make that old guy give in. Okay, I admit it, you are the acting Duke."

Mrs. Moon Wolf chuckled lightly, not surprised by the death of Duke Angry Lion and the old Duke relinquishing power. She had experienced too many great events in her life, and she was able to survive until now because of her heart as ruthless as a snake.

Su Xiao sat back in his seat. He was able to achieve his current status at such a speed, firstly because of his cooperation with the old Duke, and secondly because he was strong enough.

Strong strength brings a lot of convenience. If Su Xiao had not had the strength to kill the old Duke last night, the old Duke would not have compromised at all.

As long as the old Duke dared to say no last night, then today everyone would not come to the Holy Court to hold an imperial meeting, but to hold a memorial service in his manor.

Of course, there is also a very important point in this, which is the death of Duke Angry Lion this morning. If the old Duke did not know the hidden secret, Su Xiao would never believe it.

The old guy was not only a compromise with Su Xiao, but also wanted to hide himself, an old fox.

After preliminary contact, Su Xiao has a general understanding of the three dukes. The old duke is a troublemaker. His plot is so big that he needs to be hostile to all the dukes in order to conceal his purpose.

Duke Li Lin is an upright man. He is not a descendant of the first generation of saints. In other words, he has no choice. He was born a descendant of a saint, and he also inherited the position of Duke.

Without Duke Li Lin, the Serra Empire might have been penetrated by the Northern Alliance.

As for Mrs. Moon Wolf, she is an extremely selfish type. As long as she is not threatened, she will not take risks.

"Since you are the old guy's representative, come together. Saints are only mortals."

Duke Li Lin left these words and stood up and walked towards the outer corridor. Mrs. Yuelang thought for a moment and chose to follow.

"Old fox."

Su Xiao looked at the old Duke who was admiring the scenery from the window.

"Don't be so rude, you are a Duke now."

The old Duke was obviously in a good mood.

"You should be the first to die. Just last night, you would die before the angry lion, and Li Lin would not send anyone to kill you."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the prompt from Samsara Paradise suddenly appeared.

[Hunter has triggered a hidden mission:? ? ? 】

[Because the Hunter chose to perform the main mission in a high-risk way, this hidden mission is a bonus mission. 】

Su Xiao turned off the prompt. Now it seems that the way he opened the main mission is completely correct. Although it is high risk, it is also high reward.

If he guessed correctly, something was secretly brewing, and the timing of Samsara Paradise sending him was consistent with that event. This couldn't be a coincidence.

Su Xiao could choose not to participate in that matter, that is, to complete the main mission through normal channels. But now, he has chosen to participate in a certain event. Without strong strength as a basis, he may not survive if he participates in this unknown event. one day.

"Li Lin won't send someone to kill me? Maybe, he is too upright."

The old Duke always turned his back to Su Xiao, while the Saint King kept dozing off and didn't care about anything, including the death of the Raging Lion Duke.
