The candlelight was flickering, and a little girl less than ten years old was bowing her head and facing the wall. It could be seen that her body was shaking. Even as a saint, her heart was full of despair and helplessness at this moment.
Beside the dining table, the old prince poured some scarlet liquid into an exquisite oak cup. This is not blood. The old prince is tired of the rusty smell of blood. This scarlet liquid is called 'Crimson Bounty'. It is a wine brewed with vitality. Created by a mad widow.
At the beginning, because of this wine, there was a lot of commotion in the city of Alans, and it was only after the old duke took over the matter that it was calmed down.
"Mercedes, do you know the punishment for eavesdropping on my conversation with the guests?"
The old prince slightly raised the flagon in his hand, meaning to ask Su Xiao if he would like to have a drink. Su Xiao declined, saying that he did not drink alcohol. In fact, he did not have the habit of drinking 'high-concentration compressed explosives'.
"Grandfathergrandfather, I am Tasia, and Mercedes is mine"
The little girl Tasia said that she didn't know what to call her grandma's grandma. As for calling the old duke his grandfather, it was because in her personal understanding, male elders over five generations were all called grandpa. Classification.
"Tasia?"
The old duke pondered seriously for a few seconds, but in the end, he still didn't recall which generation of his heir Tasia was.
"It's already so late, go back to sleep."
The old prince smiled kindly, and he didn't say anything until Tasia walked out of the banquet hall.
"Alf, where is the soul stone you mentioned? If you don't even have the most basic clues, it's impossible to find it."
The Soul Stone that Su Xiao mentioned is the old duke¡¯s name for the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow. As for helping the old duke find the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow, Su Xiao will of course look for it. Shi is very important to Su Xiao, even if he directly turns against the old Duke, it doesn't matter.
The thoughts in Su Xiao's mind gradually become clear. His ultimate goal is to destroy the "time-space hub device". The current situation is that even if the time-space hub device is not in the Sierra Empire, Su Xiao will not leave here. He must first obtain the Broken Soul Shadow The Stone, and the skeleton that held the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow back then.
There are two things that can be done right now, one is to find and obtain the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow, and the other is to find the unknown skeleton.
On the way to accomplish these two things, Su Xiao can also inquire about the news about the 'space-time hub device', which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
As for getting rid of Xi, Su Xiao is not going to find that woman for the time being, which is a waste of time. After he completes the first three goals, the power in his hands will be able to search for Xi's traces all over the world, and then find her out and kill her. up.
After straightening out his thoughts, Su Xiao began to determine the terms of cooperation with the old duke. The content of the cooperation was very simple. During the period when Su Xiao helped the old duke find the soul stone, the old duke would announce to the public that Su Xiao was his "agent" and handled it on his behalf. For some things, the time is about 5 days to half a month.
The old duke's approach is quite smart, he won't lose his power, and he can let Su Xiao help him find the soul stone. It seems that everything is within the controllable range of the old duke. It not only resolves the assassination crisis, but also obtains strong military reinforcements. Because of this, he didn't choose to turn against Su Xiao.
Another advantage of this arrangement is that the other four dukes can't say anything at all, because the old duke did not confer the title to Su Xiao, but let Su Xiao act as his agent.
The old duke could declare to the outside world that he himself was too old and wanted to rest for a while. As the oldest holy descendant among the five dukes, the other four couldn't find any problems with his statement.
Of course, this is just the old duke's own thoughts. Su Xiao has already talked with the old duke for about half an hour. During this period, the old duke drank 12 grams of high-concentration compressed explosives and a small piece of exiled fragments separated to the size of dust particles. .
When the two sides turned their faces, Su Xiao would let the old prince know how painful it is to interrupt the cooperation.
Right now, there is no direct conflict between the two parties, so there is no problem in cooperation, provided that the old Duke does not stab him in the back.
"Tomorrow morning, I will inform the other four dukes first, and then you need to go to the Holy Court with me. If the Holy King is not asleep, we may still see him."
"Can."
"Well, Kukulin White Night, you are now my Adrian Alf's representative, enjoy the duke to the fullest."
As soon as the old duke finished speaking, Su Xiao received a lot of reminders.
[You have completed the main mission, the first ring. ¡¿
[Task reward: real attribute point x1 (already stored in the reincarnation brand). ¡¿
[You have completed the main task ¡¤ the second ring. ¡¿

Difficulty level: lv.56¡«lv.63
Task Information: Kill the Holy Seed King Alexander and get his heart.
Tips: The integrity of the heart of the King of Saints must be above 50%, otherwise the mission will fail.
?Task period: 20 natural days.
Mission Reward: Holy Spirit Level Treasure Chest
Task punishment: mandatory execution
Obviously, Su Xiao made the right choice. He directly moved the main task to the fourth ring, skipping the first three rings. The third ring task should be to serve as a "coolie" for the imperial officials, so as to obtain a higher status.
As for the fourth ring task, this is very exciting, kill the king of the Sierra Empire, Alexander, and get the other party's heart.
The task difficulty is between lv.56 and lv.63. The highest difficulty reached level seven. Obviously, this is a tough difficulty. At that time, not only will you need to face a large number of strong men, but you will also be besieged by the imperial army.
Of course Su Xiao will not go to Qianmang, he has already joined the line of the old duke, and is only waiting for the opportunity to meet the King of Saints alone in the future.
If the old prince knew what Su Xiao was going to do, he would definitely stop the cooperation immediately and draw a clear line with Su Xiao.

Before midnight, Su Xiao left the old duke's manor. The old duke didn't trust him, and of course he didn't trust him either. Strategic retreat.
In the dimly lit banquet hall, the old Duke's cheek twitched, and the cloudy pupils in his eyes showed a different look. In his long life, he only encountered such interesting things a few times.
"Kukulin White Night, the strong man in the abyss, or is it from the Northern Alliance?"
Hearing the words of the old duke, Boubo Wang, who had blended into the environment, felt relieved, at least the old guy didn't intend to bring the imperial army.
Su Xiao chooses to cooperate with the old duke, of course he will stay behind. Boubo Wang will keep an eye on the old duke in the near future, so as not to stab him in the back.
In the wheat field in the wild, Su Xiaoyuan returned to Yalansi City on the original road. As soon as he arrived near the city wall, he received news from Baja. Baja found a group of suspicious people under the city wall 2 kilometers away. In particular, the moat under the city has not been maintained for a long time, and the moat has been covered by mud.
Su Xiao soon arrived at the location that Baja said, and indeed found a few sneaky figures, and these people were still talking in a low voice.
"Are you ready?"
"Well, no problem, the city guards on the city wall are all numb."
"Let those holy descendants know how powerful our Apocalypse Paradise is, hahaha hiccup~"
A super magical laughter came, and anyone who heard this laughter could not help laughing.
These men and women were all wearing black robes, and their breath was concealed. Hearing their conversation, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. He didn't want to be disrupted before the plan started.
The long knife slowly came out of its sheath, and just as Su Xiao was about to rush forward and chop off several contractors of Apocalypse Paradise, he heard a few crisp sounds.
Click it, click it.
The metal machinery stretched out, and without seeing any movement from these contractors, they assembled a large-scale machinery.
Boom
The muffled sound spread, the sound was not loud, and most of it was absorbed by a layer of light film, at most 10 seconds, the large machine sank into the ground, and the mud gushed out.
These people are here to dig mines, and they dig at the bottom of the city wall. If this kind of courage is used in battle, they will definitely explode with impressive combat power.
Su Xiao and Baja looked at each other and stepped back at the same time. This kind of good thing is not often encountered, to prevent these contractors from mining? What a joke, of course let them continue to dig, and finally get the minerals through "friendly negotiations"
