The battle in the courtyard quickly subsided, and the eight guards were missing. Eminem was sitting on the steps directly in front of the castle, and Eminem was thinking, yes, just thinking.
Eminem was thinking about a very simple question. It was clearly the one who was being beaten during the battle. Why the enemy was so angry, Eminem couldn't figure it out, so he asked Boobwang in a low voice.
Boubo Wang's answer was that the enemy is jealous of your "peerless appearance". Eminem was stunned for a long time, scratching his head in confusion. The second question appeared, what is a peerless appearance?
In the banquet hall of the castle, dozens of candles illuminated here, the old duke sat at the head of the table, Su Xiao was diagonally opposite him, and the other seats were the old duke's family members.
This old guy is ruthless enough. He knew that Duke Lilin would send someone to assassinate him, but he still kept his family members in the castle. These family members of the old Duke have the blood of saints.
The curse of immortality is a curse that can be inherited. This curse does not forcefully destroy the physiological structure of human beings, but spreads silently like a plague.
The horror of this curse is that as long as the saints want to maintain consciousness and not become idiots who only know how to repent to the gods, they must continue to absorb vitality and harm ordinary people. Once ordinary people die, the end of the saints It's here too.
Because of this, the Holy Seeds will try their best to control the number of descendants. When the number of Holy Seeds is too large, they will kill each other crazily in secret. This is the iron law set by the first Holy Seed King.
This dinner, no, it should be supper. It seemed silent and depressed. There was only a wooden cup on the table in front of the old prince, which contained scarlet liquid.
The old duke will never garrison troops in his manor, the reason is because of the scarlet liquid in the cup, some things, once exposed to the sun, he can only hide in the darkness forever.
Soon, the family members of the old duke left the table, and they were more polite, after all, Su Xiao, a 'distant relative', was present.
"Kukulin Baiye, I've never heard of it. Saints can be reincarnated from the dead. This is the price of hunting gods, and no one can escape it."
The old duke leaned on the seat and gently rubbed the small skull in his hand with his thumb. There are two skulls, which are strung together and are somewhat covered with pulp. These are the skulls of the old duke's two wives. It's a size you can carry with you all the time.
Seeing this scene, Boubo Wang, who was squatting beside Su Xiao's feet, was slightly stunned. He had seen walnuts and hand skewers before, but this was the first time he had seen his wife, and it was even wrapped up to the head. pulp.
"There is nothing impossible. Besides, as I said before, there is only a certain probability of success."
"Is that so, in order to prevent you from slaughtering my family, let me explain in advance that even if I agree to confer the title of duke to you, the other four dukes will not agree. They are not holy descendants, so they are not eligible to be canonized as dukes."
The old duke is very aware of the current situation. Even if his family members swarmed up, the result could only be slaughtered. There is no other possibility, unless the imperial army is called in, it is possible to win.
"oh."
Su Xiao was not surprised. He didn't get rid of the old duke before. In fact, this was the reason. The duke's position is not inherited by killing.
As for what the old duke said just now, the title of Duke Su Xiao cannot be canonized, there is no problem. In the final analysis, the Sierra Empire is in the hands of the holy descendants. They have already stood at the top of the pyramid and will not allow ordinary people to get involved in their power. This is the basis of their survival, otherwise they will become rats crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats them. For example, you can refer to the ghosts on the Ghost Continent.
"Did I say that you want to be canonized directly as a duke?"
Su Xiao's purpose is not to get a title, what he wants is real power, enough to gain access to the real power of other high-level empires.
If the space-time hub is installed in the city of Alans, then it will only be in the hands of the King of the Holy See. However, it is too difficult to get in touch with the King of the Holy See.
"Then you want me to be your puppet?"
The old duke said this casually, seemingly joking, but in fact he was probing.
"It is the most stupid choice to make an old immortal a puppet."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What is the standard for the evaluation of the Holy See King?"
"!"
The old prince's eyes gradually became sharper, and then he was so angry that he smiled.
"Kukulin Baiye, we undead can control the Sierra Empire to this day only because we are united enough"
Speaking of this, the old duke was a little bit speechless, because Su Xiao looked at him at this time, clearly saying: 'Can you stop farting. '
"Hey, the conflict between me and Duke Li Lin is just a game between old friends.That's all. "
The old prince's fists were clenched tightly, and his gaze was like a ghost trying to swallow people alive.
"I'm not interested in being the Holy Seed King, but I can cooperate with you in other matters. I have long been tired of the rights of the Duke."
The words of the old prince let Su Xiao get an important clue, that is, what the saints are competing with each other, even breaking the balance of power.
Greedy, fickle, and there is no sign when he turns his face. This is the most intuitive feeling that the old duke gave Su Xiao. As for the saints who have lived too long and are tired of the world, judging from the performance of the old duke, this old guy not only Not tired, but enjoying it. For some saints, immortality is a disaster, but for the old duke, immortality is what he wants.
"Artifact? Weapon? Or some kind of ability?"
Su Xiao's words made the old prince gently rub his temples. The uninvited guest he met was not only strong and monster-like, but also had a terrifyingly high IQ.
"That is a gem. It is said that thousands of years ago, a group of explorers found a corpse from the abyss, and the corpse held that gem in its hand."
"Gem? Specific features."
""
The old prince was silent for a moment. After thinking that Su Xiao was not a holy descendant, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, with something painted on it with blue dye.
The old prince put the strip of cloth on the dining table, and casually pushed it in front of Su Xiao. From his attitude, it can be seen that the information he is about to reveal is not a secret, at least for the saints.
This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below!
"It is unique, only it can suppress the life stripping phenomenon of the undead, or in other words, it can be embedded in the soul."
Su Xiao didn't care what the old duke said, he wanted to put Dragon Flash into the storage space at this moment, but considering the concealment of the mosaic effect, he was relieved.
The purpose of the old duke, Su Xiao basically judged that the two sides met in this way, even if they cooperate, the old duke is more inclined to use him.
Su Xiao didn't care about this, they just used each other, there was nothing to complain about, what he cared about was why this old guy took out a piece of rag with the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow painted on it, or why the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow will appear in this world.
So far, Su Xiao has found three stones of soul-severing shadow. If what the old duke said is true, then this is the fourth one. When Su Xiao gathers five stones of soul-severing shadow, he will have a chance to get the stone of soul-severing shadow. Shadow ability.
Moreover, the old duke also said just now that this stone of broken soul shadow is held in the hand of a skeleton. Is it possible that that skeleton is the skeleton of the previous law destroyer?
If this is the case, is it possible that the former law destroyer left anything on his own bones? Once something is really lost, Su Xiao will make a lot of money if he can find the skeleton.
Of course, the old duke¡¯s words may be true or false. Whether the information is true or not needs to be carefully judged. However, the old duke is a smart man, and now Su Xiao can kill him at any time. Lying at such a time will only make him die faster.
"It so happened that I was looking for something too."
A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.
"Really, then our meeting is not only my luck, but also your luck."
The old prince smiled more and more kindly. In his right hand, he still held the skulls of his two wives. The patina of the skulls reflected a warm feeling under the candlelight.
"That's right, but cooperation requires trust."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and there was no sincerity in his words.
"Of course I trust you."
The old prince said this without distraction. Under the candlelight, the two looked at each other.
The change in attitude of the old duke is very interesting. At the beginning, he wanted to stabilize Su Xiao. Whenever he had the opportunity, he mobilized the army to get rid of Su Xiao. But after negotiation, he decided not to do so, because this is an opportunity to get rid of the curse. The opportunity to live forever without having to bear the price of eternal life.
"Wow~"
When the cry came, a little girl of holy descent who was eavesdropping was frightened into tears by the conversation between Su Xiao and the old duke. For some reason, both Su Xiao and the old duke were laughing, but this little girl of holy descent was afraid , fear from the bottom of my heart.
There are five dukes in the Sierra Empire, all of whom have lived for an unknown number of years. They are so dangerous that Xi dare not come here at all. The situation here cannot be dealt with solely by Xi's force and her wisdom.
And today, Adrian Alf, one of the five dukes, made a huge mistake, he shouldn't have dinner with an alchemist
