Chapter 56, Part 1 "I've been waiting for a long time."

After finding the first "seed", Xia Xifeng successfully found the location coordinates on this map.

He had a good sense of space, and the map he had run over hundreds of times immediately took shape in his mind, pointing out the location of other seeds.

Even if the terrain changes, isn't it just a variable maze? No big deal.

Xia Xifeng had played a lot of single-player games, including a period of RPGs, where the nauseating mazes were a must-try. He was quite good at navigating them.

The remaining seeds were quickly found.

The smile on Richo's face grew fainter and fainter until it was completely covered by frost.

Xia Xifeng found a total of ninety-nine seeds.

Riccio thought he had strict control over the palace, but he didn't expect that the palace had been infiltrated so deeply?

Riccio was deeply annoyed and upset.

Being able to do such a thing, it must be easy for the murderer to assassinate him.

The murderer didn't do this, obviously he had a bigger plan.

Could it be that the murderer knew his identity as a person favored by God and was targeting the God of the Sea?

Xia Xifeng began "psychological profiling" again, making up the reasoning process based on the results.

"The location where the evil god seed was placed isn't a confidential location in the palace. The only place that can be considered heavily guarded is your bedroom, Li Qiao," Xia Xifeng said. "This suggests that the person who placed the seed may not have much power, but is someone close to you."

Singer knew Xia Xifeng was beating around the bush again and was about to chime in when Leo interrupted, "If he's backed by the Evil God, then even if he doesn't have much power, he should be able to move freely around the palace, right? Isn't the Evil God's power enough to allow him to come and go freely in the palace?"

Pereira then analyzed, "Perhaps, just like in Green Sand City, if the evil god uses too much power, he will be exposed to the King of Atlantis."

Leo pinched his chin. "Perhaps if he gave the murderer power beyond the legendary level, he would be exposed? Bishop Singer, when the murderer killed people, there were no legendary classes nearby?"

Singer nodded: "Yes." After listening to Leo and Pereira's analysis, he almost suspected that Xia Xifeng was really "deducing" the murderer.

Anyway, Richo believed the three people's "reasoning".

He followed the three people's analysis and said, "Even with the blessing of the evil god, this person cannot reach the legendary position. He can enter and leave the palace freely, but he has no power..."

Richo sneered and said, "Then they must be members of the royal family."

He has not yet appointed a queen, only concubines.

The places where the evil god seeds were found were all in the vestibule. Although they were not confidential locations, the side rooms would not pass through the vestibule.

The only people who could both wander around the front yard and enter his bedroom were members of the royal family.

Xia Xifeng repeated the "psychological profiling" conclusion he had made in front of Singer before.

An incompetent royal family member with bad conduct and no power, but qualified to enter and leave Ricci's bedroom, a name immediately came to Ricci's mind.

Riccio said to Singer, "Bishop, are the Marquis des's movements consistent with those of the murderer?"

Singh was also at the Marquis of Chads: "When the murder occurred, his name was not on the list of people entering the city. But there are many ways to circumvent the registration."

Richo said, "I have a special method that can confirm the whereabouts of close relatives within a month... Never mind, I'm too lazy to bother. I'll find an excuse to lock him up."

Xia Xifeng asked knowingly, "Who is Marquis Des?"

Richo said: "He is my legal brother, my father and mother's adopted son, and my cousin by blood."

Because of his bad behavior, the Marquis of Des only held the title of Marquis, but Riccio did not give him any official position. He spent his days living a life of luxury in his own territory, and only came to the palace once a month to suffer poverty, with a low sense of existence.

Marquis Des's father and mother were both bastards. They killed themselves early and their names were removed from the royal family tree.

Richie's parents felt sorry for their young nephew and believed that the parents' mistakes should not be implicated on the ignorant child, so they adopted Des.

Richie's parents raised Des very carefully, but Des's character completely inherited his parents' laziness, greed, viciousness and stupidity.

When Richo ran away to be an adventurer, he thought he could become the next king of Atlantis and did many stupid things.

He didn't even think about how he could be king with his empty head.

Although Des is a bastard, he is too incompetent and under the strict discipline of Riccio's parents, he has not done anything overly evil.

After Riccio was captured and succeeded to the throne, Des could no longer do evil.

So Des can still be a marquis and enjoy wealth.

However, Richo had long been aware of his cousin's true nature. It was only because of his parents' kindness that he did not want to target his cousin too much since he currently had no chance to do anything bad, and he maintained a friendly and respectful relationship with his brother on the surface.

After all, Des was his legal brother, and after he inherited the throne, Des flattered him very attentively.

As soon as Xia Xifeng analyzed it, Des's face immediately appeared in Richo's mind.

Although Des is stupid, he is indeed the person closest to the throne in legal terms. Moreover, he is stupid, vicious, and useless, so it is normal for him to turn to the evil god.

Even if it wasn't Des, Riccio planned to control Des first and then find an excuse to expel him from the royal family.

Since the war between gods is about to begin and he may die in battle at any time, he should decide on a successor as soon as possible.

Des must be expelled from the royal family to prevent him from being used to seize power from his designated heir.

Richo had long wanted to expel this disgusting man from the royal family, but he was too busy. In addition, Des was indeed under strict control. He was disgusting but not capable of doing evil. He himself was a legendary and a god-favored person, so it was difficult for him to kill. This matter was not too important, so he never did it.

Singh observed Xia Xifeng's expression.

Although Xia Xifeng concealed it well, he was not very cunning and Singer still caught the fleeting surprise in his eyes.

In addition, since Xia Xifeng did not continue his "analysis", Singer confirmed that Xia Xifeng did know who the murderer was, and the murderer was Marquis Des.

"His identity is special. To avoid trouble, the two of us will take direct action and capture him and imprison him in the Sea God Temple. We will release him after my master confirms whether he has any connection with the evil god," said Singer. "He's a marginal individual. His disappearance for one night won't attract any attention."

Richo said without hesitation: "Okay."

Although arresting royal family members without evidence is an insult to the royal family, if he did it personally, it would not be considered an insult to the royal family. It would only be considered that the king was incompetent and abused lynching.

He had nearly died at the hands of the evil god, so why should he care about royal dignity? Returning to the status of a god-favored one would be better for both him and Atlantis.

Xia Xifeng originally thought that after "deducing" the murderer, it would still take a lot of time to find evidence and arrest him.

Who knew that Singer and Richo actually decided to ask the sea god for blessings to cover their tracks, relying on their demigod and legendary powers to arrest people without authorization tonight.

Ah, this...

What kind of makeshift team is this Atlantis? Is it such a joke?

At the critical moment of life and death, everything can be compromised.

Singer and Richo decided to send the evil god seed to the Temple of Poseidon first, and then capture the person immediately.

Riccio told his trusted ministers that there was an important matter at the Temple of Poseidon, and he and Bishop Singh would go to the Temple of Poseidon for one night and come back tomorrow.

After arranging the government affairs, Riqiao left the palace with Singh, Xia Xifeng and others.

Xia Xifeng asked, "Is it okay to expose our whereabouts directly? Will it alert the murderer?"

Richo smiled and said, "If we arouse his vigilance, he'll enter the palace to check if the seeds are still there. I've set a trap, which will make it easier to catch him. Catching him red-handed will be less troublesome than dealing with him secretly."

Singh said, “My lord has set his sights on the palace.”

Xia Xifeng was no longer worried.

Although Poseidon is a bit stupid, he has already formed an alliance with Shuangri, and the seed has not yet been detonated. The outer gods should not dare to show up under his nose.

The time of doomsday has not yet arrived. Based on the experience of dealing with the minions of the Blood Moon, the Outer Gods will not confront the native gods of the Dream World head-on for the time being.

They returned to the Temple of Poseidon through the teleportation array.

Singh had informed the Pope in advance to ask non-essential personnel to leave temporarily and to close the church doors temporarily.

When they arrived at the church, the Pope had been waiting for Singh for a long time with his ten most powerful bishops and paladins.

When the ten most powerful priests in the Temple of the Sea God sensed the power of the demigod in Singer, they were speechless for a moment.

They were all quite familiar with Singh and jokingly asked, "Bishop Singh, you still say you're not a person favored by God?"

Singh shook his head: "I really am not."

Richo walked out of the teleportation array: "I am."

Clergy of the Sea God Temple: "Ah?"

Clergy of the Temple of Poseidon: "Ah?! The King of Atlantis?!"

Richo shrugged, "Although my Lord practically ignores me, I am truly a favored one of the Sea God."

The clergy of the Temple of Poseidon: “…” The amount of information was too much and their brains were a little overwhelmed.

Even the Pope did not expect that the one favored by Poseidon who had never appeared before was actually the King of Atlantis.

It can be seen that the Sea God not only does not bother to pay attention to his favored ones, but also does not often pay attention to his Pope.

Leo and Pereira also walked out of the teleportation array and saluted respectfully to the Pope of the Temple of Poseidon.

The Pope was shocked again.

Even the Son of God from Shuangri has arrived. How big a thing is about to happen to our Sea God Temple? I'm a little scared.

The Temple of Poseidon had long since become secularized and hadn't dealt with any troublesome matters related to the gods in many years. The Pope had never imagined that he would encounter such a major event in his lifetime.

Pope: "Singer, would you like to be the Pope?"

Singh didn't hesitate: "Inappropriate."

The Whitebeard Pope had a tearful expression on his face, which made the other clergymen of the Temple of the Sea God very embarrassed.

How many times has the Pope been rejected?

Being a demigod is so great, but he can even choose not to be the Pope if he doesn’t want to?

Well, demigods are amazing.

Singh's identities as the one favored by the Sea God and the one favored by the Two Sun God were too dazzling, so Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang were ignored.

They all thought that these two were envoys from Green Sand City. When the Twin Sun God's Favored Ones arrived, they would be his guards.

Although they weren't as powerful as the Twin Sun God's Favored Guards, Legendary Guards weren't usually Legendary. They were just handling chores and providing support, which was perfectly normal. Xia Xifeng and Qin Lang didn't introduce themselves, and they didn't speak to them either.

Xia Xifeng was ready to explore the map again and clear all the seeds.

At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the Pope's face, and black water gushed out from the cracked human skin and rushed towards the King of Atlantis.

The incident happened suddenly, but Singh and the King of Atlantis responded immediately.

The Atlantean King dodged and Singh pinned Blackwater.

The ten clergymen had the same strange smile on their faces as the Pope, as if they were wearing the same mask.

Ten human skins shattered.

At the same time, screams were heard from the temple and black water gushed out from inside the temple.
