Vol 53 Chapter 4: : False and Snake

The fighting 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.
Amu was thinking about a very simple question. It was clearly being beaten during the battle. Why the enemy was so angry, Amu couldn't figure it out, so he asked Boubo Wang in a low voice.
Boubo Wang's answer was that the enemy is jealous of your 'peerless face'. Eminem was stunned for a long time, scratching his head in confusion, and the second question appeared, what is a peerless face?
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 fellow is ruthless enough, knowing that Duke Li Lin will send someone to assassinate him, he still keeps his family members in the castle. These family members of the old Duke have the blood of the 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 crazily kill each other secretly. This is the iron law set by the first Holy Seed King.
This dinner, no, it should be supper, it was silent and depressing, there was only a wooden cup on the table in front of the old prince, which was filled with scarlet liquid.
The old duke would never garrison troops in his manor because of the scarlet liquid in the cup. Some things, once exposed to the sun, he could only hide in the darkness forever.
Soon, the old duke's family members left the table, and they were more polite, after all, there was Su Xiao, a 'distant relative' present.
"Kukulin Baiye, I've never heard of it. The saint can be reincarnated from the dead. This is the price of hunting the 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.
"Nothing is 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 was very aware of the current situation. Even if his family members rushed forward, they could only be slaughtered. There was no other possibility, unless the imperial army was called in 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 title of duke 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, it will only be in the hands of the Holy King. However, it is too difficult to get in touch with the Holy King.
"Then you want me to be your puppet?"
The old duke said this casually, seemingly joking, but in fact he was probing.
"Let an old immortal become a puppet, that is the most stupid choice."
"Then what do you mean?"
"What is the standard for the evaluation of the King of the Holy See?"
"!"
The old prince's eyes gradually became sharper, and then he was so angry that he smiled.
"Kukulin White Night, we undead can control the Sierra Empire to this day only because we are united enough..."
Speaking of this, the old duke couldn't continue, because the way Su Xiao looked at him at this moment clearly said: '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 duke's fists were clenched tightly, and his gaze was like that of a ghost who wanted 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 old duke's words gave Su Xiao an important clue, that is, what the saints were fighting for 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 that corpse held that gem in its hand."
"Gem? Specific features."
"..."
The old duke 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 cloth strip 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.
"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 former Dharma destroyer?
If this is the case, is it possible for that former law-destroyer to leave 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 judged carefully, but the old duke is a smart man, 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.
"Yes, but cooperation requires trust."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and there was no sincerity in his words. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
"Of course I trust you."
The old duke said this without distraction, and 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 saint loli 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 saint loli was afraid, Fear from within.
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. The situation here can no longer be dealt with by Xi's force alone and her wisdom.
And today, Adrian Alf, one of the five dukes, made a huge mistake. He shouldn't have dinner with an alchemist.
