Reincarnation Paradise
Chapter 2129 Voidness and Submission
The battle in the courtyard quickly subsided, and the eight guards were missing. Ammu was sitting on the steps directly in front of the castle. Ammu was thinking, yes, thinking.
Eminem was thinking about a very simple question. It was clearly being beaten during the battle. Why would the enemy be so angry? Eminem couldn't figure it out, so he asked BuBoWang angrily.
BuBoWang's answer was that your enemies are jealous of your 'peerless appearance'. Eminem was stunned for a long time, scratching his head and confused. The second doubt appeared, what is peerless appearance?
In the banquet hall of the castle, dozens of candlelights illuminated the place. The old duke sat at the head of the dining table, Su Xiao was diagonally opposite him, and on the other seats were the old duke's family members.
This old guy is cruel enough. He knew that Duke Li Lin would send people to assassinate him, but he still kept his family members in the castle. All the family members of the old Duke have the blood of saints.
The immortal curse is a curse that can be inherited. This curse does not forcefully destroy the human physiological structure, but spreads silently and 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 the ordinary people die, the end of the saints will be It’s here.
Because of this, saints will try to control the number of their descendants. When the number of saints is too large, they will secretly kill each other crazily. This is an iron law set by the first generation of saint kings.
This dinner, no, it should be a midnight snack, seemed both silent and depressing. There was only a wooden cup on the dining table in front of the old Duke, filled with scarlet liquid.
The old Duke would never station troops in his manor. The reason was because of the scarlet liquid in the cup. 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 all left the table politely. After all, Su Xiao, a 'distant relative', was present.
"Cukulin Baiye, I have never heard that a saint can be reincarnated from the dead. This is the price of the hunting god, 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 were two skulls, which were strung together and both were a little pulpy. These were the skulls of the old Duke's two wives, which he had used the mystical magic of the gods. It has become this size and can be carried with you all the time.
Seeing this scene, Bubu Wang, who was squatting next to Su Xiao's feet, was slightly stunned. He had seen people plate walnuts, and he had also seen people plate skewers, but this was the first time he saw his wife, and she even plated her head. Pulp.
"Nothing is impossible. Besides, as I said before, there is only a certain probability of success."
"Is this so? In order to prevent you from killing all 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 saints and are not qualified to be canonized as dukes."
The old Duke knew the current situation very well. Even if his family members swarmed forward, they would only end up being slaughtered. There was no other possibility except to mobilize the army of the empire to win.
"oh."
Su Xiao was not surprised. He had not taken action to get rid of the old duke before. In fact, this was the reason. The position of duke was not inherited through murder.
As for what the old Duke just said about not being able to confer the position of Duke Su Xiao, there is no problem. In the final analysis, the Serra Empire is in the hands of the saints. They are already 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 on the street, and everyone will beat them up. For examples, please refer to the ghosts on the ghost continent.
"Have I ever said that I want to be directly canonized as a Duke?"
Su Xiao's purpose is not to get a title, he wants real power, enough to have access to the real power of other high-level officials in the empire.
If the space-time hub device is in Arans City, it will only be in the hands of the Saint King. However, it is too difficult to get in touch with the Saint King.
"Then you want me to be your puppet?"
The old Duke said this casually, seemingly as a joke, but actually as a test.
"Making an old immortal a puppet is the stupidest choice."
"What do you mean?"
"What criteria are used to determine the position of Saint King?"
"!"
The old Duke's eyes gradually became sharper, and then he became so angry that he smiled.
"Cukulin White Night, we undead can control the Serra Empire to this day only because we are united enough..."
Speaking of this, the old Duke was a little unable to speak, because the look Su Xiao looked at him at this time was clearly: 'Can you stop farting? ’
"Ahem, the conflict between me and Duke Li Lin is just a game between old friends, nothing more than that."
The old Duke's fists were clenched, and his eyes were like those of an evil ghost who wanted to eat people alive.
"I'm not interested in being crowned Saint King, but I can cooperate with you on other matters. I've long been tired of the rights of the Duke."
The old Duke's words gave Su Xiao an important clue, which was what the saints were fighting for each other, even at the expense of breaking the balance of power.
Greedy, fickle, and without warning when he turns against him, this is the most intuitive feeling that the old Duke gave Su Xiao. As for the saint who has lived too long and is tired of the world, judging from the performance of the old Duke, this old guy is not only I am not tired of it, but enjoy it. For some saints, immortality is a disaster, but for the old Duke, immortality is what he wants.
"An artifact? A weapon? Or some kind of ability?"
Su Xiao's words made the old Duke 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 the gem in its hand."
"Gem? Specific characteristics."
"..."
The old Duke was silent for a moment. After thinking that Su Xiao was not a saint, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms with something painted on it with blue dye.
The old Duke placed the strip of cloth on the dining table and pushed it to Su Xiao casually. From his attitude, it could be seen that the information he was about to reveal was not a secret, at least for the saints, it was not a secret.
"It is unique. Only it can suppress the phenomenon of life stripping from the undead, or in other words, it can be embedded into the soul."
Su Xiao didn't care what the old Duke was saying. He wanted to put the Dragon Killing Flash into the storage space at this time, but considering the invisibility of the mosaic effect, he felt relieved.
Su Xiao basically judged the purpose of the old Duke. If the two parties met in this form, even if they cooperated, the old Duke would prefer to use him.
Su Xiao didn't care about this. They were just using each other. There was nothing worth complaining about. What he cared about was why the old guy took out a piece of rag with the Soul-Breaking Shadow Stone on it, or rather, the Soul-Breaking Shadow Stone. Why? will appear in this world.
So far, Su Xiao has found three soul-breaking shadow stones. If what the old Duke said is true, then this is the fourth one. When Su Xiao gathers five soul-breaking shadow stones, he will have a chance to obtain the soul-breaking shadow stone. shadow ability.
Moreover, the old Duke had just said that the Soul-Destroying Shadow Stone was held in the hand of a skeleton. Is it possible that the skeleton was the skeleton of the previous generation of exterminators?
If this is the case, is it possible that the ancestor of the law destroyer left anything on his own bones? Once something is really missing, Su Xiao will make a lot of money if he can find the skeleton.
Of course, the old Duke's words are true or false. Whether this information is true or not needs to be carefully judged. However, the old Duke is a smart man. Su Xiao can kill him at any time now. Lying at this time will only make him die faster.
"I happen to be looking for something too."
Lidya Su had a smile on her face.
"Really, then our meeting is not only my luck, but also your luck."
The old Duke smiled more and more kindly, holding the skulls of his two wives in his right hand. The pulp of the skulls reflected the warmth in the candlelight.
"Yes, but cooperation requires trust."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette without any sincerity in her words.
"Of course I trust you."
The old Duke said this without hesitation. Under the candlelight, the two looked at each other.
The change in the old Duke's attitude is very interesting. At first, he wanted to stabilize Su Xiao and mobilize the army to get rid of Su Xiao whenever he had the opportunity. But after negotiations, he decided not to do so because this was an opportunity to get rid of the curse. The opportunity to live forever without having to bear the price of eternal life.
"Wow~"
The cry came, and a little Saint girl who was eavesdropping was frightened into tears by the conversation between Su Xiao and the old Duke. For some reason, Su Xiao and the old Duke were both laughing, but this little Saint girl was afraid , fear from the heart.
There are five dukes in the Serra Empire, all of whom are old men who have lived for who knows how many years. They are so dangerous that Xi dare not come here. The situation here can no longer be dealt with solely by Xi's force and her wisdom.
Today, Adrian Alver, one of the five Dukes, made a huge mistake. He should not have had dinner with an alchemist.
