Chapter 416: Chapter 234: Have One, and We Are One of Us Now

"Great Lord, should we kill all those nobles?" Hualou Chun whispered quietly from the side.

As soon as these words came out, the nobles who were brought along trembled uncontrollably. These nobles, lacking much strength, averaged around level 10 with fluctuation, and it was considered diligent practice if they reached level 20.

Their weight might have increased, but their brains and strength did not improve.

Gu Shanhai also understood the situation, the nobles were nobles not because of their abilities or strengths, but simply because they were the agents of the Goddess.

This meant they belonged to a designated group. Going further up, they even claimed themselves to be descendants of the Goddess.

In essence, it was all to ensure their own stable rule, similar to Sky Dragon People. This time, they were literally Sky Dragon People, few in numbers, occupying privileges and even capable of mobilizing Transcendents at their behest.

Even though these Transcendents were a bit weak in strength.

"Seeing you always thinking about fighting and killing." Gu Shanhai was exasperated. As an enforcer, Hualou Chun was very competent, but beyond that, not so much.

The kneeling nobles also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the King was imprisoned, the Kingdom Guardian controlled, and they themselves were compromised, they decided to bide their time temporarily. Once the other nobles mobilized troops, these three so-called heroes would undoubtedly die.

Who would fight the Demon King after the heroes’ death?

That wasn’t the nobles’ concern. With the protection of the Goddess, even if the entire Hero Continent fell, as long as they were in the Royal Capital, they would remain safe.

The Royal Capital was protected by the Goddess, and the deaths of commoners and foreigners mattered not.

What they hadn’t considered was, if nobles from outside the Royal Capital simultaneously converged here, the Royal Capital couldn’t accommodate so many people. As for having the nobles outside the Royal Capital fight the enemy and then leave – impossible. Once the Demon King invaded, and the noble armies had provisions, it would be the nobles inside the Royal Capital who would be forced to leave.

"We should at least have them explain their wealth before anything else; also, you make killing so artless. We’ll see who remains defiant, we’ll first flay their skin, then slowly pick their flesh, keeping them alive with healing potions in between, ensuring they won’t die before we have cleaned off their flesh," Gu Shanhai said tauntingly.

Those present changed their expressions drastically. Oh great, a tougher one appeared. Hualou Chun at least put them to death quickly, but this one planned something crueler.

"Alright, whoever you are, you’re sure everyone’s here now, right?" Gu Shanhai glanced at the Wind Element Holy Realm Warrior and asked.

"Yes, hero, all the nobles of the entire Royal Capital are here," the other hurriedly conformed, also glancing at the horizon with a hint of anxiety in his expression—as the sun was nearly setting—if no antidote was given soon, he would indeed die.

But he didn’t dare to openly ask, only desperately gazing at Gu Shanhai.

"It’s good they’re all here. Now, I suspect you’re colluding with the Demon Clan. You need to prove your innocence," Gu Shanhai resorted to his usual tactic.

Then with a wave of his hand, the Royal Palace Guards and Royal Capital City Guard surrounded them. At Gu Shanhai’s command, they could swarm and reduce these nobles to mincemeat.

It wasn’t so much Gu Shanhai’s charismatic appeal as it was that he had thrown each person a healing spell version of the Life and Death Talisman, and by making an example of one, he made the rest unusually compliant; they wouldn’t dare touch a chicken on his command.

The excuse left all the nobles stupefied; they too were somewhat aware of the King’s situation, and now it was their turn.

They had to accept it because refusal meant death.

"Hero, you see, the sun is about to set," the Wind Element Holy Realm Warrior was anxious but didn’t dare to speak directly, only subtly hinting to Gu Shanhai.

"Oh, I remember now, you want the antidote, right?" Gu Shanhai also slapped his forehead as if he had just remembered, then said, "Rest assured, it wasn’t poison. Did you feel a chill in your body when you ingested it? That’s called a peppermint candy."

The man didn’t know what ’peppermint’ was, since the plant didn’t exist here, but he understood what candy meant, and his face turned extremely ugly.

A Holy Sanctuary Level Warrior, frightened by a piece of candy.

In that instant, his raging anger rushed towards his forehead, almost compelling him to strike at Gu Shanhai immediately.

"Thank you, hero. Since there’s nothing more, I have other matters and shall not disturb you further," the man wisely didn’t dare to make a move and turned to leave.

"Oh, weren’t you going to be my dog? How come you’ve retracted now?" Gu Shanhai’s tone carried a hint of regret.

The Wind Element Holy Realm Warrior carried an expression of disgust but did not stop his stride.

"Great Lord, shall I kill him?" Hualou Chun said again.

"I’ve said no need for violence, let’s give them a chance at least," Gu Shanhai sighed.

Just as the Wind Element Holy Realm Warrior was about to reach the door, he suddenly felt an itching on his skin. His face changed, he turned to say something to Gu Shanhai.

But the choking sensation in his throat arrived, and he could only retract his arms frantically scratching, trying to get air into them.

As pustules continued to emerge on his skin, a foul stench began to fill the entire splendid palace.
