Chapter 27: The King’s Capital in the Open State!
The dinner party had ended, and the Queen of the Crescent personally sent Su Mo out of the palace.
Several other carriages suddenly appeared as the carriage left the palace, blocking their path.
“Who goes there?” Asked one of the guarding knights stepping forward.
“We are from the Blackstone Territory,” replied one of the nobly dressed people from the lead carriage. “Have you ever heard the saying, ‘three times three equals nine’?”
Nine out of three? “Is that the password for the traverser?” Su Mo glanced at the villain panel but didn’t give any hint, so it was clear that this person was the villain. When villains meet, there’s usually no need for prompts.
“Let them come over,” Su Mo said lightly, and the guarding knight moved out of the way. Those people quickly came to the carriage.
“Blackstone Territory, can you take a step to speak? Don’t worry. We have no malicious intentions,” said a young man.
Su Mo’s eyes swept over the people around him, and finally, he agreed.
“Good,” he thought, “Let’s see what these guys are up to.”
…….
“This is the eldest son of Grand Duke Hill. Grand Duke Hill is old, and now the whole family is under his control,” said a man in a magnificently decorated room filled with a large number of magic arrays. He was introducing other villains, and there were many of them present, all of whom held extremely high statuses.
“There are three heirs and actual power holders from the Duke family and several from the Marquis family. In comparison, Su Mo, the earl, is considered to have the lowest status in the Crescent Moon Kingdom,” he continued.
Initially, the villain level of these people was also higher. For example, several villains from the duke’s family were all silver-level villains.
After time travel, the villain’s first level was usually related to his status and strength. In contrast, the protagonist’s level was associated with the rank of the Golden Finger.
“Do you know that many protagonists are already eyeing you, Earl?” asked Jarrell after introducing everyone. He had just inherited the position of Marquis, but he didn’t mention what his name was before crossing.
“Oh?” Su Mo looked at the other party with calm eyes.
Jarrell continued, “It may not be clear in the remote Black Stone Territory, but there’s already a lot of knowledge about the Earl in the capital. It can be said that the Earl is an open secret in the Crescent Kingdom.”
He watched Su Mo’s reaction carefully, but the Earl remained as calm as ever. The products of another world that Su Mo invented were too obvious, and it was impossible for the traverser not to recognise them. Although the game had just started a few days ago, and news in this world was not widespread, some protagonists with a low starting point may need to learn about Su Mo. However, it was impossible for these high-status villains not to know.
Moreover, they may have had their doubts. After all, Su Mo had been in the Crescent Kingdom for a long time. As a time traveller, as long as there was no defect in IQ, he could detect problems that others couldn’t.
Su Mo said lightly, “You came to me late at night to discuss this matter?”
Jarrell couldn’t discern any clues from Su Mo’s expression, so he glanced at the duke’s heirs and said, “Of course not. The Count must know that we and the protagonists are in a clear state in the capital.”
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, “Clear card status?”
Su Mo looked at him and said, ” Why don’t you get rid of them?”
Jarrell let out a wry smile, “If it were that easy to solve, it would have been done long ago. In fact, if they weren’t in the capital, it would be much easier to deal with.”
