Chapter 455: The Only Condition
82_82678When Lin Xiao followed Hamdan to the palace where the king lived, he was not shocked by the magnificent decoration and majestic architecture, in fact, he had been shocked when he came half a year ago, and this time he was much calmer. However, he slowly found that this time seemed to be very different from the last time, the difference was no longer the environment, but the people.
Last time, Lin Xiao made a great achievement, the king ceremoniously received Lin Xiao, all the royal family relatives and dignitaries and officers were present, and the royal cavalry regiment lined up to welcome, the scene was extremely grand, and it was also very solemn. But this time, there were not so many people in high positions and no cavalry regiment, only a few servants kindly led the way, and at the same time kept smiling at Lin Xiao.
In contrast, the last time it was solemn, this time it was cordial, and it felt a little weird.
When entering the king's residence, Lin Xiao found that there was a bigger difference, this time the king didn't even have a few servants around him, only the court magicians Minks and Princess Sara were present, plus Hamandan and Lin Xiao, who arrived later, there were only five people, and even the palace attendants who led the way quickly retreated and closed the door.
Lin Xiao said in his heart, he must have to negotiate conditions with me, after all, although he has helped the royal family a lot, the information about the tomb of Cain and the holy city of Jerusalem is still the core secret of the royal family and the Mus-S-Lin Presbyterian Church, and will not be unconditionally revealed to Lin Xiao.
At this point, Lin Xiao had already prepared.
The old king was frightened before and didn't attend the banquet, and Lin Xiao also believed it, but now when he looked at the old king's face, he overturned his previous opinion. The old king was sick, and very strict, and it seemed that his life would not be long. In fact, the old king's face was now bloodless, his pale hair was like withered grass, and his eyes were even more chaotic and filthy. At the same time, his wheezing voice was very low and laborious, which was a sign of the exhaustion of life elemental power.
"Lin Xiao, it's a pleasure to see you again. Boy, come here. ”
Lin Xiao beckoned.
Lin Xiao was surprised, the last time he came to see him, although the king was quite kind to him, but there was a majesty in the cordiality, which could not be crossed, this was the gap of royal power. But this time, the old king seemed to have forgotten that he was a king, which was so kind that Lin Xiao was a little suspicious.
However, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, no matter how you say it, the old king is also an elder, and he is no younger than Master Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao smiled and walked towards the old king's seat.
At the same time, Minks stepped away from the king's side and stood beside Hamdan, and the two of them discussed something in a low voice, looking like they were smiling.
Lin Xiao wanted to salute the old king in the manner of Mu-Si-Lin, but he waved his hand and interrupted, and then the old king looked at Sarah.
Sara blushed and looked away, pretending not to know that her father was looking at her, and humming and chirping without knowing what song she was singing.
"Sarah, you go take care of Wizard Khatami." Hamdan laughed.
"She doesn't need me to take care of her, and her sisters are learning witchcraft from her, so they ignore me......," Sara argued.
"Ahem...... the old king coughed twice and motioned for Sara to leave.
"Cough again, it's time for you to take your medicine!" Sara pursed her mouth and gave her father a blank look.
The old king was so angry that his beard trembled slightly.
"Sarah, how do you talk to your father?" Lin Xiao said dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry." Sara said perfunctorily.
Rao was like this, Hamandan and the old king couldn't help but glance at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, obviously, they still underestimated Lin Xiao's influence on Sara, which was more effective than the two of them.
Then, Sara walked away slowly, and when she turned the stone gate, she turned around and grimaced at Lin Xiao.
"Lin, don't mind, Sarah, this kid is spoiled by me." The old king sighed.
"Yes." Lin Xiao said.
"Uh......" The old king was slightly shocked, didn't he say that the Orientals were very reserved? How can you be so outspoken? Then, he smiled, his face wrinkled, and his complexion improved a little, "As far as I know, you are going to the tomb of Cain?" ”
Here's the highlight.
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes." A friend may be in danger and I have to go and help. ”
"A friend?" The old king obviously didn't expect Lin Xiao to answer like this, he felt that cultivators had many reasons to go to Cain's tomb, such as wealth, strength, spiritual treasures, etc., but how could it be because of friends?
At the same time, they were also surprised, as well as Harman's and Minks, neither of them knew the purpose of Lin Xiao's going to Cain's tomb.
At present, only Khatami knows about this matter, this woman now considers herself Lin Xiao's slave, and her body and soul have become Lin Xiao's accessories, and Lin Xiao's affairs are naturally extremely secretive.
"Bloodline?" Minks was a cultivator after all, and he quickly guessed some clues.
"Yes." Lin Xiao didn't hide it, he knew what happened after he entered Cain's tomb, and they would know sooner or later, after all, they were also a member of the Light Clan, even if they didn't enter the Rose Alliance together, it didn't mean that they would know nothing. Therefore, Lin Xiao confessed very frankly, "The new Prince of the Blood Clan is my friend. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone fell silent.
"Lin Xiao, you know, although we are not at odds with the Rose Alliance, in the final analysis, we are also a member of the Light Clan, and we are mortal enemies with the Blood Clan......," Minks reminded.
"I know." Lin Xiao said, "So, I chose to be honest and didn't deceive." ”
"What kind of person is that friend of yours?" The old king asked suddenly.
"He used to be my companion, and the last time he came to the Middle East to fight against the Bloods and rescue Sarah, she also had a credit for it. Her becoming the Prince of the Blood Clan is actually a confidential mission of the Ninth Detachment, I don't know the specifics, but she is by no means a Prince of the Blood Clan in the traditional sense. Lin Xiao said.
Once again, there was silence, this time different from before, not in horror, but in doubt.
The king then said, "We don't have a map to Cain's tomb, it's in the hands of the Rose League." All we have is information about the entrance to the Jerusalem Underworld, and that's all we can do to help you. However, we know that the Rose Alliance usually enters twelve hours before Cain's tomb opens, around twelve o'clock tomorrow afternoon. So, as long as you find the entrance, you have a way to follow them in, right? ”
The old king almost agreed to support Lin Xiao in disguise, which surprised Harman and Minks, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you." ”
This is too important for Lin Xiao, because he now has the heart to help the ace of hearts, but the most fundamental difficulty is that he can't start. Time was pressing, and how could he find a narrow entrance to the great Jerusalem? However, as long as he finds the entrance in advance and waits for the rabbit, he can follow the Rose Alliance to enter, and with his current strength, it is not difficult.
The old king smiled and said: "Lin, don't be too happy, I have one and only condition, you must promise me, otherwise, the promise I made just now will be null and void!" ”。
