Chapter 140: Just a Pocket Watch

"I was the one who helped you sit on the throne, and I can also replace you."

Iris's eyes were sharp. "Who should I change to? Xue Rui?"

When the name is read, it is said with a mocking tone.

Xue Rui immediately rolled her eyes and looked away without saying a word.

Celilda rubbed her fingers. "Anyone can do it. For example, the two unborn princes."

"To the outside world, Xue Rui was reportedly the consort who gave birth to the prince and was ruling the country from behind the scenes."

The woman spread her hands and said, "Anyway, this huge Utuman is not supported by blood."

"I rely on my overwhelming power. Whoever comes is just a matter of a word from me."

The Sultan lowered his head, half of his face was dark, but he was still unruly and gave a mocking laugh:

"Mastering the method of transferring demonic power, I can't wait to replace me."

"You should try it on yourself first to see if it works."

"This woman is only transferring my divine and demonic powers. What if something happens to me and these transferred powers disappear?"

"You know how difficult it is to train another one like me."

Celilda put away her fierceness, frowning slowly as she spoke, her thoughts wavering.

Inside the bottle, Tu Xing's heart moved. Iris was still different.

Guess: Only he can directly bear the power of the real demon god. If others want this power, they need to rely on Iris, who is an indispensable intermediate bridge.

Celilda walked towards Xue Rui, holding out the dagger, her eyes cold and oppressive:

"You know what I want you to do, right?"

Xue Rui's face turned pale and she took it tremblingly.

The black wizard was dissatisfied: "What are you afraid of?"

"Just repeat what you did to Sudan. It's not like you're taking everything away. Look at him, his wounds are almost healed."

Xue Rui clasped her hands and said, "Yes."

The black wizard took out the bottle again: "What's in it?"

"You told me you saw a ball of divine power floating in with your own eyes and needed to borrow the Demon Sealing Bottle. Now look..."

As she spoke, she looked around, "Is Cyril in there?"

Xue Rui lowered her head to hide her flickering eyes and said firmly, "Yes, sir."

"He can bring you what you want, so he must have gotten more. The power lies in him!"

She pointed her finger at the ground and said, "He is the man Cyril brought back from the forbidden area!"

"If he doesn't have divine power, how could he be followed by people from that realm?"

Celilda looked at Ba and said, "Not that strong."

She held the bottle, her face hesitant, and looked at Xue Rui again, especially the gold pattern:

"You're not planning to replace Cyril, are you? Get rid of him while you're at it."

"He's been doing things for me one after another. I've been relying on him more recently. Even Luo Bo is a little jealous."

The man standing quietly beside her, almost without a sense of existence, lowered his head when he heard this, "I love you deeply, so jealousy is inevitable."

"The Chief has advised me that as long as I can stay by your side, no matter what reward I receive, saving you is my priority."

"This time it was truly a critical situation, so you gave me such a generous reward."

In the bottle, Tu Xing felt a little relieved, fortunately he had a thoughtful response at that time.

Inside the bedroom, after listening to what was said, Celilda nodded her head three times in a row, her face full of approval.

"That's right. If we're gone, there's no chance of conquering Lenilaya. Naturally, there's nothing left."

Xue Rui watched this scene, her lips trembling, "Sir, he is indeed suspicious."

"I saw it with my own eyes. This person's hand was broken, but he was still able to walk around holding the bottle!"

Everyone present lowered their heads and looked at the person stuck to the ground by green moss.

Although Hei Wu continued to talk to Luo Bo, his eyes were always on Xue Rui.

Catching the changes in his expression of panic, she couldn't help but be suspicious, but still said:

"Come here, cut off this man's hands!"

Immediately, a guard stepped forward, drew his weapon and struck with two sharp blows.

Suddenly there was a shrill cry, "Ahhh!"

Blood gushed out from the cross section of the severed arm. Ba's eyes were filled with pain. He struggled a few times and seemed to collapse powerlessly.

The other guards present all looked horrified and reluctant.

Celilda examined it for a moment. "This is clearly very ordinary."

Xue Rui's face was pale, and her eyes rolled. "Search his room to see if there is anything wrong."

"If not, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm a stupid servant, far less intelligent than you, sir."

"It's better to believe it exists than to let it go by mistake."

Celilda frowned. "How could I not know this?"

"Come here, search Cyril's cell and try to take all his belongings."

She glanced at the crowd and said, "Luo Bo, go ahead and keep an eye on it."

Luo Bo: "Yes."

A white skeleton followed the man out.

The Sultan's eyes suddenly dropped, just for a moment, he looked away as if nothing had happened, and tapped his knees with his fingers alternately.

"Cyril has always respected you. I can't see you all the time because I'm doing your job."

At this point, the voice was yin and yang: "You asked me not to detain people, but now that I have opened my eyes, I have been detained in the bottle."

Celilda looked a little embarrassed, but she said soothingly, "We'll release him once we've investigated everything."

"Xue Rui has been with me for three years, not much shorter than the time I've known you. If I handle it wrongly, I'll always feel a knot in my heart for the rest of my life."

She looked at Xue Rui again, "What are you waiting for? Put the dagger away. His business is his business. It won't affect you."

Xue Rui's cheek twitched. She found a piece of clothing and put it on the ground, then struggled to hold the dagger upright.

She raised her head and looked around. "It's just you and me in this room. We need to stay in one room for at least two hours."

The Black Wizard frowned: "Then let's check the items first."

Not long after, Luo Bo and a skeleton came back carrying something.

It's basically a cloak, gloves, clothes, paper, a sickle...

Celilda scanned the whole thing, picked up the paper, and turned the page. "Oh, you're really studious. You've recorded so much."

When he turned to a certain picture, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, "Virtual Scene Retrospection?"

She suddenly remembered something, rummaged through the pile, and took something out.

The long chain swayed slightly, and the dark blue pocket watch was exquisitely crafted, with a pair of misplaced blue flowers on it adding to its exquisiteness.

"Isn't this the pocket watch I lost?"

Xue Rui's eyes lit up, "Yes, they are exactly the same!"

The Sultan stood up and approached, his voice majestic: "There are many similar styles."

He raised his hand to pick it up and look at it, but Celilda dodged his hand and put it away. "It's just a pocket watch."

"I'll give him a new watch. Cyril won't refuse this gift from me."

The Sultan stared at the other man's pocket, his hand still raised, and the pressure intensified.

He spoke each word with great emphasis: "You must give me either the pocket watch or the demon-sealing bottle."

Celilda replied perfunctorily, "What's the rush?"

She squatted down and continued searching, picked up the cloak and looked at it for a moment, then looked at Xue Rui.

"I threw away something like this a long time ago. I didn't even know him then. Can you explain it to me?"
