In the royal capital, Su Xiao's temporary residence.
The not-so-spacious living room was almost full of people. Su Xiao, Bu Bu Wang, Amu, and Baha were all there. Liu was in the bedroom, looking around from time to time. Qifu was standing in the porch, blocking the door. This time he came.
An uninvited guest.
One thing cannot be ignored. Even now, Su Xiao has not found out where Qifu is from and who sent him to Zhucun to protect Liu.
The second prince, Ted, got a late-night snack from somewhere and was eating it without grace. This guy had to eat about five meals a day. In his words, if he didn't eat more, his life force would be sucked out by the king's blood sooner or later.
Maybe because he grew up in a slum, Ted would carry some easily stored food such as dried meat with him. Only people who have been on the verge of starving to death understand how precious food is, and Ted does.
Chief looked at Ted with wary eyes. Of course he had heard of the name of the second prince, Ted. Ted often wore a silver armor, and many people called him the Silver Fox of the Slums.
Liu didn't recognize Ted. She saw that Ted's midnight snack was so delicious, and she was also hungry.
"I'm full. What did we talk about just now?"
"Find out Mrs. Spider."
Su Xiao has decided to temporarily cooperate with Ted. Regardless of Ted's purpose, the benefits he can get belong to him. Temporarily cooperating with Ted is the most profitable method at the moment.
"Mrs. Spider is in the royal capital. She was not a royal family half a month ago, but she is now. There are only two kinds of people who take the king's blood. One is me, for survival, and the other is Mrs. Spider, for power."
Ted glanced at Su Xiao while speaking, which meant that Su Xiao was also the second type of person.
"Mrs. Spider dares to use the power of the king's blood without permission like you?"
"Don't accuse me falsely. I have never burned the king's blood. I will be caught and executed by the tower guards."
"It's not about burning King's blood to gain power, what about that?"
Su Xiao felt that she had grasped a very key clue. It all depended on whether Ted was willing to reveal the clue.
"Let your people withdraw first, and only you and I will know the rest of the conversation."
"..."
"Let's go, let's go to the second floor for supper."
Baha opened his mouth, and Bubuwang and Amu immediately followed. Su Xiao knew, which actually means they knew.
Liu, who had no intention of doing anything, hurried upstairs. She had been hungry for a long time. Qifu didn't move, and stood guarding the porch with his arms folded.
"As I said just now, the two of them talked after that."
Ted looked sideways at Chief, who met his gaze coldly. After a moment, Chief snorted and walked upstairs.
"I suggest you kill this mad dog as soon as possible. He dares to carry Tianba's dragon heart on his back. I guarantee with my life that he cannot bear the erosion of the dragon heart."
Ted shook his head. He had seen too many people who were seduced by the source and wanted to reach the sky and gain great power. Such people would not end well. Otherwise, why did the average life span of the tower keepers not exceed 30 years?
There are experts who use the power of the source. Except for the Tianba tribe, no one can truly control the power of the source. But even the Tianba tribe cannot avoid the fate of being eroded by the power of the source in the end.
"Continue the conversation just now."
"Okay, I'm from your side anyway. If something goes wrong, it's not me who will be unlucky."
Ted put down the black tea cup, the smile on his face disappeared, and said seriously: "Baiye, you should have guessed the purpose of the king's blood. Yes, this is Tallinn's way to prevent the rise of the ancient gods. The ancient gods will not die for a day, and they will
May rise again..."
"To get to the point, I basically already understand the situation of the ancient gods."
Su Xiao interrupted Ted. He had discovered that this guy actually liked telling stories. This was not the key. The key was that Ted always went off topic.
"There are two elements for inheriting the throne, the crown and the king's blood."
At this point, Ted paused for a moment to avoid going off topic.
"As Tallin's heritage, the crown actually has nothing to do with the king's blood. Its real function is to open the key to a certain place. That place is called Shenxiang. What do you think? Are you satisfied with this secret?"
Ted guessed something. Since entering this private house, he has been observing and observing Lu's attitude towards Su Xiao. He was a little afraid, but more about the way friends get along with each other.
Not only that, Ted also discovered that Lyu's attire and body shape were now more neutral. Judging from the sound, his sister was pretending to be a teenager.
Ted was thinking about why Su Xiao was willing to help Liu fight for the king's blood, and this was even when Liu couldn't inherit the king's blood.
Ryu is a seed. When the king's blood is cut off, something in her body will awaken and a trace of king's blood will appear. This trace of king's blood will be taken away by the tower guardian to find a strong male and let the king's blood merge into that strong man.
In the body, he will then start to create humans, which will allow the king's blood to grow faster.
The king will only be male, which is determined by the king's blood. No matter what gender the heir to the throne was before, after the king's blood is spread in the body, he will definitely become a male, because the first king is male.
According to Ted's judgment, there is a high probability that what Su Xiao is looking for is not the king's blood, but something else. The only thing he can think of is the crown related to Yuan Shenxiang. After all, there are not many ways to gain power in this world. Practice
Techniques, source power, spiritual energy, other than these, the power obtained through other methods is very limited.
"The Divine Land only exists in legends. How could I pursue that kind of thing? I am more interested in the Source Water than the Divine Land that I don't know whether it really exists."
Of course, Su Xiao will not tell Ted all about her purpose. Compared with finding the location of Shenxiang, it is easier to find the water of the source. According to Ted, if you want to reach the source of Shenxiang, you must first get it.
The Crown of Tallinn.
"Is this so? It's a pity that I originally planned that when I become the queen, the king's blood will belong to me and the crown will belong to you."
"Will the tower keepers allow the crown to be taken out of the capital?"
Su Xiao lit a cigarette, seemingly chatting, but in fact he was testing him. He knew that Ted was testing him too.
"Of course it is allowed. That thing has no other use and will get you into trouble. It belongs to Tallinn. Even if someone takes it away, it will be sent back to Tallinn in a short time."
When Ted mentioned the crown, he looked like he didn't care that the crown would be lost. He continued:
"Neither you nor I are good people. Let me tell you something straight. I am on the throne just to survive. I am only 32 years old and I am not weak at all. Even so, I am starting to age prematurely. Recently, my hair has become increasingly gray.
many."
Ted sighed, opened his left arm wrapped in arm armor and rolled up the cuffs. Su Xiao saw a withered arm although it had muscle outlines.
"You see, this is the curse of the king's blood. First it was the left arm, then the torso, the right arm, the legs, and finally the head. I have been living in the slums since I was 7 years old. After so many years, I finally managed to survive. Then I discovered that I
I only have a few years to live, hahaha, is there anything more ridiculous than this? What was the purpose of my previous 30 years of life, to dedicate more vitality to the royal blood in my body?"
The expression on Ted's face was distorted. After a moment, he rubbed his brow with his dry left hand to calm himself down.
"If we win, the king's blood will be mine, you can take the crown, and the water of the source will be no problem. How about it? Do you accept my proposal?"
"Can."
Su Xiao took out two glass pillars, one thick and one thin, from his arms. He had a quarter of the king's blood in his hand.
"If I don't get the crown, I'll ruin the king's blood."
"You don't dare."
Ted stared at Su Xiao, his eyes were like a dying beast, choosing people to devour. Suddenly, his expression changed and he said:
"Yes, that's a good reason. If you and I break up like this, the uneven distribution of the spoils will lead to a breakup between you and me, and then we will frame each other. It would be best for us to 'all die', but no, 'all death' is too difficult."
Ted's smile returned to his face, and the old man had obviously thought of some plan.
"It's not difficult for you and me to die. Let's break up now. Don't die. I won't be merciful, otherwise there will be holes."
Su Xiao pulled out the long knife from his waist. He basically understood Ted's plan. Now he wanted to fall out with Ted and at least have a fight.
After putting away the king's blood, Su Xiao could feel that he was not far from Yuan Shenxiang. He was willing to enter such a dangerous place with his current strength, mainly because he would participate in the Empty Seat Banquet in the near future.
Before Su Xiao entered this world, she noticed that there was a change in the invitation to the Empty Seat Banquet. It clearly felt that it would not be long before the invitation to the Empty Seat Banquet would be activated.
Su Xiao doesn't know much about the Empty Seat Banquet, but he knows that only if he is strong enough can he get more benefits from the Empty Seat Banquet. It is for this reason that he wants to enter a seventh-level high-risk area like Yuan Shenxiang.
, improve your own strength as soon as possible.
Zheng~
Ted pulled out the thick and sharp sword from his waist, and his eyes turned dark.
"You guy, at least don't kill anyone..."
boom!
A loud noise spread, piercing the night sky of the royal capital. Ted flew out from the debris of a large building. As soon as he landed, he spat out a large mouthful of blood. A slash was cut across his chest, and he could even see it from the wound.
his organs.
"How cruel, bastard."
Ted turned into an afterimage, and Su Xiao rushed towards Ted, slashing with his long knife and sharp sword, and an impact spread.
Two hours later, Ted rushed into an alley with one of his arms cut off and his armor in tatters. His face was pale and he was seriously injured.
The dark alley became quiet, and Ted stood up from the ground with some difficulty. At this moment, several figures blocked the front and back of the alley, and people from the Great Prince Walsh and Mrs. Spider arrived.
As long as Ted escapes alive at this time, he and Su Xiao will basically win, because tomorrow, both of them will 'die'.
Ted has an extremely crazy plan, which is to use the old king to get rid of the eldest prince Walsh and Mrs. Spider. According to Ted, the eldest prince Walsh has a trump card that he can only use at critical moments, no matter what.
No matter what, the eldest prince Walsh cannot be allowed to use that thing.
