Su Xiao stood in the church, with a beam of sunlight shining through the skylight, and dust particles flying in the sunlight.
"To become a king, you have to go through a lot of pain. The people you trust most may betray you. Your blood relatives will always want you to die. You will face countless temptations. You will..."
The old priest kept whispering, which made Su Xiao frown. The old man was very nagging.
"cough."
Su Xiao coughed lightly, and the clergyman's whisper stopped.
"Where were you talking about?"
The old priest was a little confused. After hearing his words, Su Xiao almost pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.
"Let's get straight to the point. I may know better than you what it takes to become the King of Black."
Su Xiao pulled up the cuff of her left arm and tapped the metal arm guard with her index finger. The color of [Black King's Fall Festival] changed and turned back to black.
When the old priest heard this, his expression was obviously a little startled.
"That's the king's..."
As if thinking of something, he staggered to the door and repeatedly confirmed whether the door was locked.
"That said, what can you do for me?"
Su Xiao felt that the old priest was a bit unreliable. This old man obviously had Alzheimer's disease...
"Where were we talking about?"
The old priest began to feel confused again.
"..."
Su Xiao took a deep breath and reviewed the previous conversation appropriately.
"You brought it back to save us?"
The eyes of the old priest were full of expectation, the kind of eyes only a traveler in the desert would have if he was about to die of thirst.
"Probably...yes."
"It must be so. You brought the king back."
The old priest quickly came to the stone platform where the metal books were placed. He took down the book, and the black threads merged from the book into the old priest's body, making his cloudy eyes much clearer.
"Talking about the current situation, I have been living in the North before returning to the Holy City. The lords in the North are very ambitious, so the first one to send troops must be there."
Su Xiao now urgently needs to understand the situation in the Holy City, and simply having a royal status is not enough. He also needs someone to support him. Of course, his own combat power will also make his subsequent actions much easier.
The so-called seizing power seems to be undercurrent and extremely complicated, but among those people Su Xiao has come into contact with, which one is not good at seizing power? The old lion in the world of Shia, Harold in the ghost world, which one is not a super old man? Which one is not good at seizing power?
Dad figure?
Su Xiao has cooperated with these two people countless times. The power struggle in this world has lasted for more than ten years, and there has not yet been a second Black King. This shows that there are no ruthless people like Old Lion or Harold among the contenders.
Su Xiao is not planning to stand up and seize power on his own. He needs to choose a controllable puppet first. The opponent must have royal status but be unable to seize power.
The reason for this is very simple. Although Su Xiao now has a royal status, the imperial officials will not recognize an outsider who suddenly appears. Those people are not NPCs in the game. If they show their identity casually, the other party will support him wholeheartedly.
The old priest in front of him obviously did not support him because of his power, but wanted him to suppress some very scary things, namely the 'residents' of the Dead City.
Unable to directly seize power, this aspect can reflect the role of the puppet. The puppet has to live in the Holy City for a long time, and has been forced to participate in the struggle for power and support it hard. Such a puppet can still be used if the other party is disobedient in the end.
Consider physical means of elimination.
"The situation in the Holy City is very complicated. The general situation is that one-third of the power is in the hands of the Senate, one-third of the power is in the hands of the princess, and the remaining one-third is in the hands of the two dukes. Both the princess and the duke are
The descendants of the king, due to the laws of the empire, have been passed down to this day, and capable men in the royal family can only become dukes, while women who are relatively better-off can become princesses with greater power."
The prince's daughter mentioned by the old priest is actually a princess who is qualified to become a king. There is an essential difference between a prince's daughter and a princess.
The situation in the Holy City is worse than Su Xiao imagined. Even neutral departments like the Senate are involved in the power struggle.
The violators are probably among these people. The first thing Su Xiao needs to do is of course not to contact these people. He needs to find a puppet first, and then a know-it-all. Judging from the current situation, the clergy elders are more likely to
It is unclear how much power the recommender has.
"What can we do in such a chaotic situation?"
Su Xiao sat down on a wooden chair while he was talking. He didn't believe that the old priest arranged by Samsara Paradise was just an old man with a famous name.
"We can order the Senate to hand over all their military power."
The old priest spoke very calmly, as if discussing what to eat for dinner.
"..."
Su Xiao looked at the old magician differently. Obviously, this guy had a lot of power.
"Are you sure?"
"Well, I'm sure I can stay awake for at least 40 moons from now on."
The old magic stick smiled at Su Xiao, and his aura gradually changed. If he was a kind old man before absorbing the black energy, then he is an old monster now. Su Xiao even felt a vague sense of crisis, a life and death fight.
, he and the old magic stick are at most 50-50, and this is the funding from Samsara Paradise. From this, we can also see how difficult the offender is.
"Very good. Which royal families are out of power in the Holy City? The more rubbish they are, the better."
"The royal family has lost power? Are you ready to..."
The old magic stick immediately understood what Su Xiao meant, and the look in his eyes changed.
"You should know that if I directly participate in the struggle for royal power, let alone whether I can get part of the military power. The recognition of officials and people alone is a problem. We are not trying to instigate rebellion, but to regain the rights that originally belong to us.
, which requires the support of other officials and justifiable reasons."
The Senate, the princess, and the dukes never dreamed that their biggest enemy would finalize the plan in a small church in just one hour.
"Let me think about it for a while."
The old magician walked into the small room behind the church. After about ten minutes, he changed into a black robe.
"There are three suitable people, Duke Bernard of Linhai, exiled princess Kaki, and Princess Pedela of the Dawn. The youngest Pedela is only fifteen years old. This is a problem, but she is among the people.
He made a lot of noise, so he was assassinated three times by some people."
"It's her."
Su Xiao made a simple decision and let the old stick finger tap his chest.
"O God, forgive me for my mistakes."
The old magician seemed to have a little conscience, but in the blink of an eye, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms like a magic trick.
"Pedela prays in the Royal Garden at ten o'clock every morning. It's half past nine now. We should be able to see her there. God, forgive my sins."
The old magic stick looked at Su Xiao with a smile. Now Su Xiao finally knew why Samsara Paradise arranged the old magic stick on his side.
"No need to pray to God, you may have killed as many people as me."
Although the old magic stick concealed it very well, Su Xiao could feel the opponent's blood, a kind of black and dirty blood.
"Those who believe in the light never kill others, they are just cutting off the darkness."
The old magic stick looked solemn, but he said words that were like farts. Cutting off the darkness meant killing people.
Su Xiao and the old priest looked at each other, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, and the old priest pointed his finger on his forehead.
"God, please forgive me for supporting evil. This is helping more people."
If there really is a God of Light, the God of Light will definitely let the old god go as far as he can. He has no such followers.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."
"Impatient is..."
Bang!
The church door was kicked open.
"My door."
The old priest's face was distorted for a while, but it soon returned to a kind and kind look. This was actually a more terrifying emotional change.
