Vol 23 Chapter 26: :Little tail

The dinner ended before nine o'clock. As the owner of the castle, the little duke took the dwarf king, Bubwang, and Ahm to visit his father's collection.
In the castle's study, Su Xiao sat with the Minister of Finance Walker, and the wooden table in the room was filled with black tea and snacks.
Walkley's fingertips held a tobacco rod. Cigarettes in this world are not filled with tobacco, but a tender leaf of a four-year tree.
"Duke Kukulin, you're not here for military expenses."
Walkley tapped the cigarette rod in his hand, and the room was surrounded by white smoke.
"Of course, I'm here this time ..."
Su Xiaohua said that he stopped and looked at the wooden table beside him. On the side of the wooden table, there was a small piece of transparent nails, about the size of a nail cover.
"I'm here this time mainly to investigate crown theft."
"The crown is stolen?"
Walkley apparently didn't hear about the theft of the crown. In fact, this was an excuse Su Xiao made up casually.
"You want to know?"
"I'm not interested. I'm old, and I'm getting weaker and weaker about rights. In fact, that's it. The more things I have, the more I pay. Before I was 0, money was in my eyes Everything, before the age of 50, rights is life, but after the age of 70, I found that the rights can't solve the problem that I have to get up three times every night, it will only make me get up more often. "
Walkley shook his head and smiled, as if he was tasting something, as if he was sorry.
"This thing is proof that the thief has been to the Duke's Mansion."
Su Xiao cut off the transparent nails near the wooden table. After entering the Duke's Manor, he didn't see this thing once or twice, but at least a dozen times.
If Su Xiao didn't guess wrong, this is what the offenders left behind. There is no mental imprint on it, and it is more likely to be a side effect after using a certain ability.
"this is……"
Walkley looked at the transparent nails on the table for a while and was quite surprised.
"Isn't this the husk of Acanthopanax spinosa."
"Wooden spines?"
"Duke has never heard of this summer fruit?"
Walkley was more puzzled, but he soon discovered that after completely losing his support, the husk of that piece of thorn tree began to evaporate quickly, which was very abnormal.
"Lena is very fond of Mu Zhanji, but she suffered a severe illness yesterday afternoon and has ..."
Walkley did not go on to say that Lena in his mouth was a distant relative, who was mainly responsible for the daily purchase of the duke's estate, and was violent in his bedroom yesterday.
The Empire has almost zero tolerance for severe illness. Once found, the corpse is about to be burned.
"That said, she died yesterday afternoon?"
"That's right. Suddenly, Lena is a good girl. It's a pity."
Walkley sighed. Of course, he realized that this was not easy, so he immediately broke away from the relationship. The little duke had withdrawn from the battle for kingship.
"yesterday afternoon……"
Of course, Su Xiao would not fully believe Walker's words, but it is important that he was ambushed last night and encountered the tough enemy of Flesh Auditorium Baha.
Su Xiao decided to settle Bloomer at noon yesterday. He planned an operation around one afternoon and went to work at night. The assassination went smoothly and he was ambushed on the way back.
The Duke Manor's Lena had a sudden illness yesterday afternoon. Assuming she has been replaced by the offender, then her sudden illness yesterday afternoon may be that the offender replaced the replacement target.
From the beginning of Su Xiao's participation in the struggle for kingship, he was exposed to the sight of offenders. This is a certain thing.
Lina died of illness yesterday afternoon, Su Xiao was ambushed at night, and the ambusher accurately grasped his return route.
When attacked last night, Su Xiao suspected that there was a traitor in Youyu Manor. Now it seems that the offender is likely to replace someone in Youyu Manor.
The only thing that doesn't make sense is that if the offender is in Youyu Manor, the hunting function should be activated, but Su Xiao received no prompt.
Assuming that the offender has a special ability to replace the other party without swallowing the consciousness of the indigenous people, it becomes a body with two consciousnesses.
Usually, the indigenous people who are replaced are the original consciousness, which will be judged as the invasion of external conscious energy, not the offender.
However, when action is needed, the offender will replace the other party ’s consciousness and use the other party ’s identity and memory to act. In this way, the horse will not be exposed, and the hunting function is most likely avoided.
Because the body of the offender is not in Youyu Manor from beginning to end, the other party is more likely to be a substitution or manipulation of consciousness, rather than a complete replacement of an indigenous population.
Complete replacement is actually better to deal with, but it is difficult to do if it is only consciousness storage and the death of the indigenous people will be caused when consciousness is stripped.
After having an idea in his mind, Su Xiao stopped asking the Minister of Finance about the offenders, and the Minister of Finance was so happy that the two started chatting.
At ten o'clock that evening, the Minister of Finance and the Little Duke delivered Su Xiao and others to the door of the manor.
"Duke Kukulin, come and visit me when you have time."
From the look of the Minister of Finance, he was very happy to chat with Su Xiao and even felt like meeting each other and hating being late.
"of course."
Su Xiao also smiled, but the moment the two turned their backs, the smiles on their faces disappeared at the same time.
‘This old guy, there ’s a problem. ’
One thing Su Xiao can determine is that the Minister of Finance is by no means as simple as it seems, but one thing is that the other party should have nothing to do with the offender.
It is even possible that the offender was kicked out of the Duke's estate by this old guy.
"Boob, what did you find in the manor?"
"Wang."
Bubuwang tossed a wooden box to Su Xiao. The wooden box was almost filled with the husks of wood thorns. These husks are not special, and they will not dissipate immediately when exposed to the air. After losing the support, It will dissipate very quickly, or in other words, it is related to the ability of the offender, and the ability of the other party needs some kind of support. Once it loses its support, it will dissipate quickly.
"What did you find?"
The lingering king spoke. Most of the night tonight, she searched on the third floor of the castle, and learned a lot, and found many clues left by the offenders.
"It's nothing."
Su Xiao will not tell the other person about the offender who may be in Youyu Manor ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The less people know about this, the better. Once the offender is alarmed, the other party may escape again where.
Moreover, the King Mao is not a professional in this field. She entered the world mainly to avoid Su Xiao conflicting with other contractors. From this point of view, she has done very well. Not to mention conflicts, Su Xiaolian and other contractors It ’s no coincidence that the holy city is so big that I have never seen him before.
Right now, the fish was near the hook, and he took a bite.
Su Xiao glanced at the nucleus of the world on his wrist. He wanted to avoid the fish biting the fishing line and swallowing the bait directly, and his blood was lost.
That night, Su Xiao returned to Youyu Manor as usual, and it really seemed that he was just visiting the Minister of Finance.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, Su Xiao gave Wufu an order to let the other party look for something.
At present, Su Xiao has a lot of power in the empire. This power is only used to seize power. It is too wasteful. Therefore, he ordered Wufu to search for records about sword art. Of course, some alchemy materials are also needed. Take a look at Plant Reconciliation and Sword Art.
