A goshawk soared over the royal capital. Perhaps it was tired from flying. The goshawk landed on a towering sculpture in the royal capital.
The height of this sculpture is more than 100 meters. The tallest building in the royal capital is not the palace or the Fuxiu Clock Tower, but this sculpture that has stood here for hundreds of years.
This humanoid sculpture with a height of 127.42 meters is the symbol of the royal capital. Even the royal palace has to be built shorter than it.
The image of the sculpture is a male, wearing a crown on his head and raising his arms, as if he is embracing the sky, or perhaps a salute to the sun.
This sculpture is the first king of Tallinn, but this is a folk name. The Adri royal family calls this existence the First King, which is the source of the king's blood.
After all the weather, this sculpture has shown its antiquity, but it still stands here. Every tower guard must recite an oath under this sculpture and leave his own blood on the base of the sculpture before committing allegiance to the Adri royal family.
Name.
Of course, the blood graffiti will not be exposed for too long. The blood names of the tower keepers change from generation to generation, which also represents the inheritance of the mission. Their names are left on this sculpture. They are no longer nameless people. They are willing to protect the Tallinn to the death.
He doesn't take a wife, he doesn't leave any children, he uses his mortal body to fight against the gods.
From this, we can imagine the significance of the sculpture of King Chu to the Kingdom of Tallinn. Every year, many tourists from other countries come here to pay their respects.
Today's royal capital is still lively and prosperous. Only the powerful know what is hidden under this prosperity. The bloody battle of kings has come to an end, and the final winner will be crowned king. For all high-level officials in the royal capital, this is
An extraordinary day.
The Adri Royal Family is not noble because of their royal power. On the contrary, because of the Adri Royal Family, the royal power has meaning.
In a manor on the south side of the royal capital, hundreds of flowers bloomed in the courtyard, and hounds barked in the flower fields. The castle not far away was burning with flames, and there were hundreds of corpses nearby.
A figure stumbled across the flower field, with a dagger stuck in her back. Because she was wearing a black gauze skirt, it was inconvenient to run. The woman fell to the ground before she could run very far. She was Mrs. Spider, who had been hiding in the dark.
A contender for the throne, she is like a spider, weaving its web and then waiting quietly.
"Walsh, are you crazy? Those two have joined forces. If you kill me, you will die sooner or later."
Mrs. Spider's voice was sharp and full of resentment. It felt uncomfortable to be stabbed in the back. More importantly, she originally planned to stab the other person in the back, but who would have thought that the other person would stab her first.
"..."
The eldest prince, Walsh, said nothing. He had seen villains die from talking too much in many stories. To be fair, Walsh felt that he was not a good person.
Walsh raised the cross sword in his hand and slashed it down with blood splattering everywhere. However, although Mrs. Spider was seriously injured, she was not so easily hacked to death.
"Wait, I'm willing to help you..."
Pfft, pfft.
After two sword strikes, Madam Spider became quiet. She lay in the flower field, blood spreading under her body, like a blooming poppy.
After a moment, Walsh stood up. He raised his head and let out a long sigh. At this time, he could feel that the king's blood in his body was almost replacing all his blood. There may not be any successor to the throne before being crowned king.
More than the royal blood in his body.
This is not Walsh's illusion. He has 8/12 of the king's blood in his body, which is already more than half.
"Father, I did it."
Walsh's arms were raised to embrace the sky, and he was facing the direction of the sun.
…
In the palace, Su Xiao sat on a wide chair covered with several layers of animal skins. Fortunately, the old king's daily life was very simple. Except for sleeping, he sat in a daze most of the time.
Su Xiao had noticed when he killed the old king that the old king was not very sober at that time. According to his speculation, this was most likely a side effect of the king's blood.
King's blood is not a good thing, but if this thing is not passed on, the members of the Adri royal family will basically not live to be 30 years old. Those who are strong can live to 40 years old. After inheriting the king's blood, there is no need to worry about dying young. It is said that
Can live over 200 years old.
The old king was not even 100 years old, so he summoned the battle of king's blood. This should be a problem with the old king himself. The king's blood comes from the first king. After the king's blood is completely inherited, it may be corroded or assimilated by the consciousness of the first king.
.
Of course, this was just Su Xiao's guess. He didn't investigate Talin's secrets in depth, but he learned many secrets by killing.
Because he was pretending to be the old king, Su Xiao couldn't pass the time with puzzle games, and could only occasionally take out a soul crystal to eat.
[Tip: You have received a team message.]
Su Xiao opened the team channel. He originally thought it was a message posted by Bubo Wang, Amu or Baha, but after checking it, he found that it was not, it was sent by Beni.
With the character of this cat, it should be somewhere in a secret realm, inside an ancient ruin. Beni knew that she was not suitable for fighting, so after entering the world, it never followed Su Xiao. Although this was safer, it would delay
Back up.
Su Xiao checked the message sent by Beini. This was not a real-time message, but a message from two days ago.
After Su Xiao was promoted to the seventh level, the permissions of the adventure group were further opened up. Most of these permissions were not used, such as the team space permissions setting. After setting the permissions, some items in the team space such as Bubo Wang and Amu could not be used.
It couldn't be taken out, and this permission had no meaning, so it was ignored by Su Xiao.
But one of them is very suitable for Beni, and that is the team message. This cat will occasionally post some of his treasure hunting experiences and the strange things he saw.
Bu Buwang also found out that when he ate some delicacies in the royal capital, he would often make Penny furious.
The team channel has a special feature. If Su Xiao and Beini are too far apart, they will not be able to contact each other in real time. The emergence of team messages solves this problem to a certain extent.
Team messages are not real-time. For example, when Beni leaves a team message, the message will be delayed based on the distance. For example, this time, it took two days for Beni's message to be seen by Su Xiao.
The content of Beni’s message is as follows.
Beni (team message): "There is a stone tablet in a very ancient ruins, which records the deeds of the ancient race and the Adri royal family. The two parties formed an alliance to fight against the ancient gods together, but it is not that ancient race.
It’s just ancient writing, but if you still want to confuse me, huh~ (with pictures and text information).”
Su Xiao looked at the last picture, which was a selfie of Beni. It was wearing a survey goggle, with a huge stone monument behind it and a colorful hummingbird landing on its head.
Some of the messages sent by Penny are useless, but some are very valuable and may save lives at critical moments.
While Su Xiao was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"King, Walsh succeeded. He lived up to your expectations."
The voice of the traitor to the tower guard came from outside the door. After hearing the words, Su Xiao came to the door. After opening the door, he saw the traitor to the tower guard kneeling on one knee.
"Lead the way to the royal hall."
"It's my pleasure."
The traitorous tower guard led the way, and soon, Su Xiao arrived at the royal hall on the top floor of the palace.
"Your Majesty, won't you hold a crowning ceremony?"
Looking at the deserted royal hall, the traitor tower guard felt a little uneasy.
"Is your brain eroded by the source?"
Hearing Su Xiao's words, the tower guard traitor frowned, but soon he understood what Su Xiao meant. Walsh's victory was too disgraceful, and the two strongest heirs to the throne were executed privately.
At this juncture, it is safest to crown Walsh as king as soon as possible. As long as Walsh becomes the new king, there is nothing they can do even if the tower guards are dissatisfied.
"Send for Walsh. The watchmen will come, but not now."
"As commanded."
The traitorous tower guardian left quickly, and Su Xiao stood still. A few minutes later, a tower guardian wearing a white and bloated hood walked out of the darkness. This was the leader of the tower guardians.
"We should execute you two."
The leader of the tower guards spoke in a deep voice.
"The old king is partial to Walsh, and there is a traitor among your tower guards. What will happen if these two things are spread?"
"I understand, Ted becomes the king, this is the bottom line for us as tower guards."
The leader of the tower guards compromised appropriately, turned around and walked outside the royal hall to summon other tower guards, whose presence was required for the crowning ceremony.
An hour later, Su Xiao was sitting on a high throne. Below was a black marble step more than ten meters long. In a moment, Walsh would walk up from here.
Hundreds of tower keepers stood in the royal hall, standing in two rows. From the entrance of the royal hall to the steps under the throne, they all held swords and spears in one hand. The tips of the two swords and spears met. Below was the red carpet.
, after a while, Walsh had to walk under a series of crossed swords and guns.
Crunch~
The door of the King's Hall was pushed open from the outside by two tower keepers. Walsh walked in wearing the new king's attire. His fluffy blond hair was spread behind him, and the new king's attire he wore made him look very majestic.
feel.
Walsh stopped in front of the main entrance, took a deep breath, walked onto the red carpet with his head held high, and walked under the crossed swords and guns. The tower guards standing in two rows remained motionless, like sculptures.
Among these tower keepers was Walsh's best friend, the traitor among the tower keepers. At this moment, his heartbeat quickened and he looked at the leader of the tower keepers standing next to the throne. Soon, he would take his place.
The man stood there.
Walsh moved forward step by step. Finally, he reached the steps under the throne. He knelt on one knee and raised his arms high, making a gesture of embracing the sky.
Su Xiao stood up from the throne, sparks appeared on his clothes, and his pace was not fast, even a little slow.
This Mars special effect is also thanks to Ted. This guy has done enough homework to become a king. He has checked the records of each new king's coming a long time ago. Before the new king comes, the king's blood in the old king's body will appear.
Trace combustion phenomenon.
As Su Xiao moved forward, sparks fell where he had gained. Seeing this scene, Walsh lowered his head.
"Father."
The reason why Walsh bowed his head was because he was preparing to wear the crown.
Su Xiao stopped in front of Walsh, took off the somewhat large crown on her head with her left hand, and put it on Walsh's head. The moment Walsh put on the crown, the [Whisper of the Soul] short knife appeared on Su Xiao
in the right hand.
Poof!
The dagger pierced through Walsh's chin and out of his crowned head. The tip of the knife was stained with blood.
Due to the force exerted by Su Xiao's hands, Walsh stood up involuntarily. He grabbed Su Xiao's clothes with both hands. There was confusion, confusion, and more despair in his eyes. Yes, at this moment, Walsh was desperate.
.
"Why……"
Walsh's arms dropped weakly, and Su Xiao pulled out the dagger in his hand. When Walsh fell, the crown on his head slipped off, and Su Xiao picked it up with the dagger.
"No!!"
The traitor tower guard roared angrily, his eyes turned blue, and the source power in his body began to activate.
Puff, puff, puff...
Swords and spears were pierced through the body of the traitor who was guarding the tower, and he was lifted up.
Walsh fell to the ground and gasped for breath. Finally, his eyes lost their luster, and the royal blood flowed out of his body, and the royal blood fluttered next to Su Xiao, who was holding the crown.
