Bay City·Hucheng District·Palace Back Courtyard.

This is a vast courtyard, full of flowers and shady trees. Compared with these, the water pools on both sides of the back courtyard are more eye-catching.

Every now and then, water vapor drifts out from the pools on both sides, maintaining sufficient humidity in the back courtyard.

This was rebuilt more than ten years ago. Not only that, the waterfall flowing down the mountain wall behind Bay City was also diverted from the rocks dug in recent years. In recent years, the elves have become more and more fond of environments with high humidity.

In the steamy back courtyard, there stands a majestic building. This is the kingdom's meeting hall. It will not be opened unless there are important matters.

At 7:30 in the morning, people gradually walked out from the side next to the royal palace and walked towards the kingdom meeting hall. These people were all dignitaries of the elves.

Under the escort of a large group of elite soldiers, Su Xiao walked into the back courtyard. The water vapor here made people feel slightly uncomfortable. It was not poisonous. He just didn't want to inhale the water vapor.

After walking through the foggy Yong Road, Su Xiao walked into the Kingdom Hall. At this time, there were many people in the hall. These people were standing on both sides of the table, or sitting on both sides against the walls, which were higher than the ground.

on the seat.

The conference table is about 5 meters wide and nearly 10 meters long. It is made of a single piece of heavy wood, and the black table top is polished to look like obsidian.

The discussion table is arranged according to the layout of the conference hall. In front of the conference table on the inside, there is only one large chair, which is the main seat of the Elf King. On both sides of the conference table, there are many seats.

chair.

The Kingdom Council officially started at 8 o'clock, but Su Xiao found that the Elf King, the priest and others were already seated.

The Elf King looks to be in his early 50s, wearing finely crafted armor. The armor looks like it is made of metal. It has a certain degree of flexibility. What is more concerning is his gray-black hair. And

Slightly wrinkled face.

The first time I saw the Elf King, I felt that I did not envy the status of this king. I only felt that this strong man was tired from the heart and had paid too much for the Elf people.

The Elf King sitting in the first place closed his eyes and took a nap. He snored faintly. He actually fell asleep on this occasion, which shows that he usually has a lot of things to do.

"Your Majesty, Kuculin White Night has arrived? Your Majesty? Wake up."

The trusted servant next to the Elf King called in a low voice. After a moment, the Elf King opened his eyes, and there was a little more fatigue in his eyes.

Seeing this scene? Bubuwang and Baha, who came with Su Xiao, both felt that the Elf King should be a wise king.

Not only the two of them, but also Xian Ji, Ming Lang and others sitting opposite Su Xiao felt the same way.

"I accidentally fell asleep. I'm rude. I recently married 195 wives? It's hard to avoid physical and mental fatigue."

The Elf King opens his mouth? You will know as soon as he opens his mouth? He is old and useless.

"I'm sorry~"

Baha muttered in a low voice? The image of the Elf King in his heart instantly collapsed.

"Now that everyone is here, the Kingdom Council has officially begun."

The first elf king spoke, he felt like he was acting as a judge this time.

Boom? The two giant metal doors of the conference hall were closed, and everyone took their seats. The Elf King was at the head of the conference table, with Su Xiao, the priest, and others on both sides.

Su Xiao and the priest were sitting opposite each other. On Su Xiao's right were Bubuwang and Baha, while on the opposite side of the priest's camp were the priest, Fairy Fairy, Ming Lang, and Tieshan.

As for Crow Girl, Beast Man, and Bee, they were not present. I guess this was the priest's arrangement, and it would indeed be safer to move in two groups.

On both sides, that is, in front of the walls on both sides, there are three rows of seats on each side. Royal officials and high-ranking officials are all sitting here to listen. Arles, the commander of the praetorian guard, is among them.

"Regarding the groundwater poisoning incident in the city, both of you have your own theories, but everything must be based on evidence."

The Elf King Cromwell's eyes were a little sharper. His meaning was very simple. No matter who Su Xiao or the priest was, they could identify and defeat each other as long as they showed irrefutable evidence.

In this ruling, whoever can speak first will definitely have an absolute advantage. The reason is that neither Su Xiao nor the priest poisoned the groundwater in Bay City, so they are throwing dirty water at each other.

If dirty water is poured out, of course the one who splashes it first has a better chance of winning. If a basin of dirty water is thrown out, even if the opponent is not stained, the opponent will no longer be clean. Generally speaking, in this game, whoever strikes first will have a better chance of winning.

Reached more than 80%.

In this ruling, Su Xiao and the priest were not allowed to speak at will. When one party stated the situation, the other party could only listen quietly. It was the Elf King who decided which party spoke first.

"In view of the evidence provided by both of you, and considering many aspects, I decided that the priest should provide evidence first."

The Elf King's words caused the royal family and officials in the auditorium on both sides to discuss in low voices. Some of them nodded in agreement, while others remained silent.

The priest seized the opportunity, letting Xian Ji and others on the side breathe a sigh of relief. The situation was too confusing. They wanted to use the power of the elves to get rid of Su Xiao, but of course they had to bear the corresponding risks. The elves were like double-edged swords.

The sword was either slashing towards Su Xiao, or towards the priest, Fairy Fairy and others.

The priest did not stand up. He coughed lightly and said in a calm tone:

"Cukulin Baiye, I have three questions to ask you. First, what is your relationship with the Mushroom Prophet in Sunshine Wetland? Second, what is your relationship with Jungle Hunter Lago? Third, you treat Zhuo

Where does the formula for blood medicine come from?”

After the priest asked these three questions, Baha next to Su Xiao felt a thump in his heart.

Not only Baha, but also the Guards Commander Arles and King Eriton who were in the auditorium behind Su Xiao were shocked.

Now they are on the same pirate ship as Su Xiao. As long as they defeat the priest and use the "Secret Medicine of Life" formula that Su Xiao has mastered, their status will definitely take another step forward.

King Eriton's status seems to be lower than that of the Elf King, but he knows that compared to the other four kings, he is much inferior in terms of actual power and prestige. King Eriton

Eriton didn't ask for anything else, as long as he could be on an equal footing with the other four descendants of the king, he would be able to avoid those four people using him as a source of thunder in critical moments.

The priest's few simple words made Eriton's heart high. The three points mentioned by the other party were a critical blow, which happened to hit their preparations this time.

The priest didn't care about everyone's reaction, he still said in a calm tone:

"As far as I know, Bai Ye, you and Mushroom Prophet have known each other a few months ago. It was also at that time that you agreed on the plan to poison the underground in Bay City. You came here four months ago and did not enter Bay City in person.

city.

Four months ago, you and Nicholas Caesar came here. Nicholas Caesar was responsible for inquiring about intelligence, and you were responsible for arranging poisoning-related matters. However, that could not be considered poisoning. To be precise, you used a device to bring the abyss into the abyss.

The force dissolved into the groundwater, polluting the entire underground water source in Bay City."

The priest paused after saying this, leaving a short time for everyone to sort out their thoughts. With his guidance, they gradually believed in the 'facts' he created.

"You two were very smart, and you didn't even set up the device yourself. You needed some local people. How to find suitable local people became a problem. In the end, you found out about the fishing village incident 15 years ago."

As soon as the priest said this, the royal family and senior officials in the auditorium on both sides were in an uproar. They all knew that the tragedy in the fishing village 15 years ago was fundamentally caused by them, the decision-makers in Bay City.

"Bai Ye, you need some people who hate the royal family to help you do that crazy thing, so before April, you find four scoundrels from the fishing village. Although they are scoundrels in the village, they have been fighting sea monsters all year round.

, eating the sea monster's flesh and blood raw, it becomes powerful beyond imagination.

You relied on their hatred of the royal family, their aquatic nature of living by the sea, and their courage that ordinary people don't have, so that the four people from the fishing village dived deep into the underground river of Bay City, and completed the installation of the power release device of the abyss, polluting the entire

Bay City’s groundwater.”

Having said this, the priest looked at the Elf King and said, "Your Majesty, the four people from the fishing village are in the underground prison of the palace. You can send someone to bring them up."

As soon as these words came out, the royal family and senior officials in the auditorium fell silent. King Eriton and Captain Arles, who chose to stand in Su Xiao's camp, felt huge waves in their hearts.

Especially the Commander of the Guards Arles, he had some doubts at this time. It was really Su Xiao who poisoned the groundwater in Bay City. He personally caught the four people in the fishing village. He knew how cruel those four people were.

.

After a while, the four people from the fishing village were pressed up, and the Elf King asked: "Who is the employer of the four of you?"

Before the four people in the fishing village could speak, the hooded woman in red standing behind them raised her hand, and a ray of light flashed on the ring on her index finger.

When the four people in the fishing village came to their senses, they found that their fingers were all pointing at Su Xiao.

The ability of the woman in red is such that it can make people react instinctively when they are unprepared. However, her ability is basically useless against people like Su Xiao, the priest, and the Elf King.

"Go down."

The Elf King ordered people to suppress the four people in the fishing village. The four people in the fishing village may have felt that they had accidentally 'betrayed' Su Xiao. They were extremely angry. The fourth among them even cursed the Elf King angrily and mentioned the fishing village 15 years ago.

event.

"God said that hatred is like a seed that has broken its shell. It will take root in people's hearts. Hatred will change people beyond recognition. Hatred will breed more hatred."

The priest's eyes were filled with compassion, as if he was deploring the incident in the fishing village 15 years ago.

"Everyone, although these can prove that Cuculin White Night, Nicholas Caesar, and the Mushroom Prophet conspired to harm the entire Bay City, in my opinion, the evidence is not enough."

The priest's words surprised everyone, so they stopped whispering and continued to listen to the priest's speech.

"Any horrific crime has a purpose, whether it is to satisfy psychological pleasure or material gains. In this incident, Cukulin Baiye's purpose was to obtain material benefits.

Everyone, you may not understand the preparation of medicines. Considering how troublesome turbidemia is, no one can prepare the corresponding special medicine within one day after arriving in Bay City. Therefore, this is what Kuculin Baiye has planned for a long time.

, he had already developed the "Secret Medicine of Life" a few months ago, or even longer. He first had the treatment medicine before turbidemia appeared. This kind of thing, he and the Mushroom Prophet had long ago not

First time doing it.

I'm not making this up. Please take a look. Here are some potion formulas. The original secret potion of life was called "Purifying Blood Potion." According to the records of these formulas, Kuculin White Night perfected it four times before it became what it is today.

The "Secret Medicine of Life", according to discussions among the elven doctors, this cannot be completed in two days."

The priest dropped the stack of formulas in his hand on the table and looked at Su Xiao with a gentle smile.

It is unknown how the priest obtained these formulas. Why didn't he also use these formulas to create the "Secret Medicine of Life"? In fact, if he could have created it, he would have done it long ago. The problem is that he couldn't mix it at all.

The priest came up with this formula for two purposes, 1. to confirm what he just said, and 2. to give reassurance to the Elf Royal Family, telling them in a subtle way that it would be okay to kill Su Xiao if the formula was obtained.

All I can say is that this old thing is too stable. It is no longer on the fifth floor, but floating in the atmosphere.

"Let me sort it out for you. Four months ago, Kukulin Baiye met the Mushroom Prophet by chance. After the two conducted normal item purchases and sales with soul coins, they established initial trust. Later, through the Mushroom Prophet, Kuku
