Reincarnation Paradise

"Find out this matter before dawn tomorrow, and everyone involved in this matter will die."

The old king's hand was placed under the table. He was holding a small pendant in his hand. It was a lion carved from gold. This thing could represent the old king himself to a certain extent.

Su Xiao took the golden lion pendant, and the prompt of Samsara Paradise appeared.

[Tip: Hunter has activated side missions. 】

[Side mission: Death of Charlene]

Difficulty level: Lv.23

Mission introduction: Find the murderer of Charlene Herbert within 18 hours.

Task duration: 18 hours.

Mission reward: Gem of Wisdom (Light Gold)

Mission penalty: The trust of the old king is slightly reduced.

…

Su Xiao activated the side mission again, which made him suspect that as long as he helped the old king, there would be a certain chance of triggering the side mission.

Su Xiao spent a full 16,000 points of world merit in exchange for the identity of the Iron Hands. The Iron Hands have neither financial resources nor military power. Now it seems that the benefit of redeeming the Iron Hands is not only a higher status, but it may also increase the ability to trigger tasks. become.

Princess Charlene Herbert was killed. According to common sense, it is normal for several princes or princesses to be killed or injured in the struggle for power. However, the old king sealed the city, sent Heslett to the front line, and also gave Su Akatsuki's power of life and death inevitably seems to be making a fuss out of a molehill.

This is not the case. If other princes or princesses were killed, the old king would turn a blind eye, but not Princess Charlene Herbert. It was not how much the old king loved Charlene Herbert, but Charlene Herbert is too young.

Princess Charlene Herbert was only 13 years old. She was a princess acquired by the old king in his later years. This was something no one expected.

Charlene Herbert will spend her childhood and adolescence in the palace before she is 15 years old. After she turns 15, she will get a fief. However, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that she will get a fief.

This 13-year-old little princess obviously has nothing to do with the struggle for power. She is not qualified to participate in the struggle for power in name. Therefore, her murder is the assassination of a member of the royal family. This is something that must not be left alone.

The old king's expression seemed calm, but he was very angry. No matter who did such a thing, as long as he was still in the kingdom, he would die. This was a provocation to the royal family and the entire power system.

"Where is the body?"

Su Xiao opened her mouth to talk to the old king. He always cherished words like gold.

"garden."

"..."

Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the banquet hall, followed by Bu Buwang. Among the five people who originally exchanged cups, only the old king was left in less than two minutes.

Seeing Su Xiao walking out of the banquet hall, many officials were confused, the wealthy businessmen were also deceived, and even the eldest prince, third prince and others were a little confused.

"Third brother, something big seems to have happened in the capital."

The eldest prince came to the prince's side with a wine glass in hand, a gentle smile on his face.

"You still smile so hypocritically. You don't know what happened?"

The third prince glanced at the eldest prince and pretended to clink glasses with the eldest prince. On the surface, the two were in harmony, but the content of their conversation was diametrically opposed.

The departure of Su Xiao and others made the eldest prince and others no longer interested in attending the banquet. However, the old king was still present. If the old king did not leave, none of them dared to leave first.

As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the banquet hall, five guards in black armor were already waiting at the door.

"It turns out to be you."

Su Xiao's eyes swept over these five people. These five imperial guards acted together with Su Xiao last night. Let's not talk about other things. The execution ability of these five people alone is top level.

You don't need to think about it to know that these five people were sent by the old king.

"Walk."

Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and five guards to the back of the palace, where Charlene Herbert's body was found.

Walking on the way to the back garden of the palace, Su Xiao began to think about the general situation of the matter.

First of all, this side mission is different from the previous purge. Although the mission of purge is relatively difficult, it only needs to kill a few mission targets. As long as you have strong combat power, 'side mission: purge' is not difficult.

The current side mission is different. This is obviously a reasoning mission. According to the past of the devil's castle world, Su Xiao is very good at her own reasoning ability. Although it is not weak, it is above average. Conan attached The body is completely impossible.

Therefore, Su Xiao was mentally prepared for the failure of the side mission, but he would not give up directly. After all, the reward of the mission was a light golden gem. The rarity of the gem was needless to say.

After walking around the palace for a few times, Su Xiao came to a garden that was not too big.

There are a lot of vines climbing in the garden, which is lush and green. The old king likes these vines very much.

Stepping on the soft lawn, Su Xiao came to the center of the garden. There was a huge fountain here. The sound of water could be heard far away. The water vapor made the garden much cooler. God knows how such a thing could be built with the level of technology in this world.

"Sir, the body is over here."

Under the guidance of a guard, Su Xiao came to the second half of the garden. There were several flower beds made of white stones. A faint floral fragrance floated in the air, and the floral fragrance was also mixed with a strong smell of blood.

A girl about 1.3 meters tall was lying next to a flower bed. The girl was wearing a white dress. At this moment, most of the white dress was stained with blood. This was Princess Charlene Herbert.

This is obviously the first scene. There are more than a dozen direct guards of the royal family standing around, prohibiting others from destroying the scene. Their faces are very ugly, because the palace is protected by them, and under their layers of protection, Charlene ·Princess Herbert was killed.

Su Xiao ignored the dozen or so royal guards. They also knew what Su Xiao was doing, so they all got out of the way.

"Let me... go over and take a look at... Charlene."

A female voice came, and just by listening to the sound, it was clear that she was crying.

"Queen, calm down, Lord Iron Hand will find the murderer."

"Go away, go away, what are you doing every day? Why did Charlene die in the garden of the palace? She didn't even leave the palace! She was still so young..."

Under the protection of a group of guards, a woman who was so sad that she almost fainted staggered over. The guards wanted to stop the woman, but they could only kneel in a ball to prevent the woman from moving forward.

"This subordinate deserves to die."

A guard wearing gorgeous armor knelt in front of the woman. He was the legion commander of the royal guard regiment. There were many legion commanders in the kingdom. The highest ranking legion commander was Heslett. In addition to the royal legion, Most of the legions were under the jurisdiction of Hethlet.

The commander of the royal guard regiment is named Karen, who is strong and about 35 years old.

Su Xiao squatted in front of Charlene Herbert's body. He hooked his fingers at a guard next to him, and the guard immediately leaned over.

"Keep them quiet."

"yes."

The Royal Guards didn't care about the queen or the commander of the Karen Army. He walked directly to the group of people and looked directly at them.

"Quiet."

Seeing this guard, Commander Karen's expression changed slightly, but the queen didn't care at all and continued to cry loudly.

This cry attracted Su Xiao. He had some doubts in his heart. If the mother was heartbroken before, he could understand it. Now even a fool can see that he was observing the corpse. Is it better to cry in vain than to find the corpse? Is the real murderer more important? Don't think that queens are just ordinary women. They are all daughters of high officials or nobles.

What made Su Xiao even more confused was that Charlene Herbert's body had been dragged. Although the other party concealed it very well, it could not deceive Bubowang's sense of smell. And judging from the swelling of the queen's eyes, she seemed Been here crying for a long time, this doesn't make sense.
