From a long distance, Arles noticed three people lying on the street. He immediately became vigilant and ordered people to cordon off the scene.

"You, you, and you, go and block that side, the rest..."

Arles made arrangements in an orderly manner. His immediate boss, Pont Kellin, was assassinated in the street and died suddenly. The assassin's arrogance was too arrogant. This made Arles "extremely angry" and decided to "avenge revenge" for his old boss.

.

At noon that day, after detailed investigation and careful analysis by the patrol captain Arles, he successfully identified the prisoner. At 1 p.m., he led only 10 subordinates and captured four people from the fishing village.

Because the matter was of great importance, the four people from the fishing village were transferred to the special department, imprisoned in the dungeon under the palace, and executed on a selected day.

The specific execution time is due to the recent turmoil in Bay City and the fact that the reason why the four men from the fishing village assassinated the Guards Commander Pon Kailin has not yet been found out. Moreover, the patrol captain Arles has repeatedly requested that he should do it for him.

His old boss Pang Kailin took revenge by personally executing four people from the fishing village.

Various circumstances came together, and the ruling from Su Xiao and the priest was much bigger than this matter, so the execution department decided to take the four people from the fishing village into custody first, and then deal with the fishing village after the Kingdom Council's ruling came out.

four people.

…

Back City District, Yinhua Manor, inside the castle study.

A fat middle-aged man was sitting behind the desk. His name was Eriton, and he was a direct descendant of the royal family.

Although the position of the Elf King is not inherited by blood, the royal family is. The actual secret is unknown.

It is said that all roads lead to Rome, and Eriton was an elf who was born in Rome. At this time, he pinched the cigarette with his index finger and thumb, and placed a glass of strong wine on the wood grain desk in front of his big belly.

.

Eriton was the first royal family member to come into contact with Su Xiao. Last night, his daughter suffering from "turbidemia" was cured. Today, she is able to eat and get out of bed, which makes Eriton feel very good.

"Mr. Caesar, I have heard of your name, but I wonder why you came to me?"

Eriton put down the cigarette in his hand that was completely rolled with tobacco leaves. It looked like a thin cigar.

"Lord Eriton, let me introduce someone to you."

Caesar showed his trademark evil smile. Seeing this, Eriton smiled and said: "Who should I recommend?"

"Inspection Brigade Captain Arles of the Back City District, I think he is very capable. The Guards Commander Pang Kailin was assassinated in the street, and it was this Patrol Captain who was the first to stand up and catch the murderer on the same day. This is

What a strong ability to do things!”

Caesar did not hesitate to praise Arles, but the king Eriton opposite just smiled and said:

"Well~, I have also heard about this person. I wonder how Mr. Caesar is going to introduce him? And where does he want to introduce him?"

"Recommended to...the captain of the Imperial Guard in Bay City."

"!"

The smile on King Eriton's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Caesar coldly.

"You foreigners are so brave. You have only been here for two days and you killed the commander of the Guards elected by a few of us. Pang Kailin has been working as a dog for us for decades. He has no credit but hard work. You

Just wait and pay for him with your life."

King Eriton was not a simple person, he had already understood the general outline of the matter, or in other words, anyone with a discerning eye could see the clues in this matter.

"Hey hey hey."

Caesar rubbed his hands and smiled. He took out five long crystal boxes and placed them on the desk. Seeing the crystal boxes, King Eriton hesitated.

"Lord Eriton, do you know that the "Secret Medicine of Life" has its own purity. In fact, you should also be aware that the "Secret Medicine of Life" used by your daughter last night is different from what you saw in the palace today.

It’s not the same quality.”

Hearing this, King Eriton's expression changed one after another, and he finally nodded. Indeed, the "Secret Medicine of Life" used by his daughter was more effective.

"Lord Eriton, these five "secret medicines of life" are of the highest purity. Who can guarantee that your other family members will not suffer from "turbidemia" in the future."

"Haha~, Kuculin White Night is in the palace. With him here, we can get as many secret medicines of life as we want."

"No, no, no, the decision has not come out after two days. What if, I mean, what if something unexpected happens? Lord Eriton, I want to think about the future of you and your family."

After hearing Caesar's words, King Eriton was silent. After a moment, he said:

"I want to directly push Captain Arles to the position of Commander of the Guards. It is not my decision alone. The recent situation in Bay City is too chaotic. We are going to promote the new Commander of the Guards tonight, Your Majesty.

I'm very busy and won't be attending tonight's secret meeting. Not counting His Majesty, the consent of four other people is required before Inspection Brigade Captain Arles can sit in that seat."

"This is easy to handle."

Caesar took out a wooden box and after opening it, there were 20 crystal boxes stacked inside, which is 20 "Elixir of Life".

"Lord Eriton, can't we just use these to bring others in?"

"This is it."

King Eriton smiled and raised his hand, pressing his big fat hand on the wooden box, and said: "Always give young people a chance. I think Arles is really good."

King Eriton moved the wooden box in front of him, his fat face was full of smiles, but his eyes were thoughtful. His eyes were very bright, so bright that it was breathtaking.

At ten o'clock that night, in the castle banquet hall of Yinhua Manor.

The banquet has come to an end, and the guests are leaving one after another. These guests are basically the immediate family members of the five important people of royal descent. In fact, it is not wrong to say that this is a family gathering.

In a small room at the back of the banquet hall, there is a round table and six seats. The seats are almost close to the wall, which is both crowded and gives a sense of security.

Among the five people present, King Eriton sat in the second seat, and the first seat was empty, which was the seat of the Elven King.

The remaining four people, because the light was too dark, could only roughly see what they were wearing. One of them was dressed as a judge, and the person sitting next to him was dressed as a banker. The other two couldn't be seen clearly because the light was too dark.

These five people are all descendants of kings. They do not just enjoy themselves every day, but are responsible for different areas to ensure the stability of Bay City, the center of elven power.

"So, Eriton, what do you think of Arles, the current patrol captain? What do you three mean?"

"It's up to me. I'm busy with the Kingdom Council recently, and that's what gives me a headache."

"Both Bai Ye and the priest are not easy to mess with. These people from the outside world may have some tricks up their sleeves."

"Your Majesty is also worried about this. Speaking of which, Eriton, have you investigated the person you recommended?"

"After investigation, Arles was born in Bay City and has served us since his grandfather's generation. His father died in the fishing village incident 15 years ago."

"Well, this person is indeed good. Special circumstances, special promotion, how many of you have decided like this?"

"Don't bother me. The matter with the Kingdom Council is enough to give me a headache."

"Then it's decided. I'll ask Arles to come see us later."

King Eriton officially finalized the promotion of Arles to the rank of Captain of the Praetorian Guards of Bay City.

…

In the back area of ​​the palace, a hundred meters deep underground, in a dark, damp dungeon.

In a cell, four people from the fishing village sat around a dozen dinner plates, enjoying a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine.

In the dungeon diagonally opposite, Adol held the iron bars with both hands and watched the four people feasting on the fishing village.

"Woof."

Bubu's barking came from the side. Hearing the sound, Adol turned her head and looked. When she saw Bubu, she almost blurted out: 'Have you forgotten me?'

"Are you here to rescue me?"

"Woof~"

Bubu said no, which made Adol feel even more depressed. After the exchange, she knew that Bubu had come to collude with her to confess.

…

The early morning sun rises, and Beicheng wakes up after sleeping for a night, and the smoke in the city is dim.

On the main street of Houcheng District, a figure wearing an oversized bamboo hat was walking on the street. Its identity as a mushroom attracted the attention of pedestrians and vendors on the street. It wasn't until it entered the main entrance of the palace that people's attention was drawn.

Move away.

This is the mushroom prophet who came from Sunshine Wetland. She didn’t want to come, but she had to come.

It can be said that with the presence of Mushroom Prophet, Su Xiao's duel in the Kingdom Council can at least be a draw.

Su Xiao also needs another hand card, a hand card that can win the game.

…

East of the city, industrial zone.

The sewage on the street flows like a stream, and the stone slabs are uneven due to being stepped on. The smell of sewers, sweat, and even dead rats permeates the air. These smells are mixed with the aroma of breakfast, plus industrial haze.

It's the smell unique to the slums.

There are rows of small tables on the street, and diners in simple clothes are sitting at the small tables to enjoy their breakfast. Among them, there is a man wearing an old leather armor with an elf scimitar hanging on his waist.

The long face is particularly special. He is not ugly, but he has a more casual appearance.

This kind of attire should not appear in the industrial area. Usually people wear this kind of attire when they go hunting. The reason why this person came here is because of the low prices in the industrial area.

This person is the wandering elf Lai Ge and a ‘ruthless person’ that even Su Xiao cannot take advantage of.

Lago was holding a steaming breakfast and looking at the flow of people passing by, feeling confused about the way forward.
