The battle in the courtyard quickly subsided, the 8 guards were nowhere to be found, Eminem was sitting on the steps in front of the castle, Eminem was thinking, yes, thinking.

Eminem was thinking about a very simple question, it was clear that it was being beaten during the battle, why the enemy was so angry, which made Eminem puzzled, so he asked Bubuwang angrily.

Bu Buwang's answer was that the enemy was jealous of your 'peerless appearance', Eminem was stunned for a long time, scratching his head, and the second doubt appeared, what is a peerless appearance?

In the banquet hall of the castle, dozens of candles were reflected here, the old duke sat at the head of the table, Su Xiao was diagonally opposite him, and on the other seats, there were the old duke's family members.

This old guy is ruthless enough, knowing that Duke Lilin will send someone to assassinate him, he still leaves his family in the castle, and these family members of the old duke have the blood of saints.

The curse of immortality is a curse that can be inherited, and this curse does not forcibly destroy the physiological structure of human beings, but silently, but spreads like a plague.

The horror of this curse is that as long as the saints want to maintain their consciousness and not become idiots who only know how to confess to the gods, they will continue to absorb life force and mutilate ordinary people, and once ordinary people die, the end of the saints will come.

Because of this, the Saints will try to control the number of descendants, and when the number of Saints is too large, they will secretly kill each other, which is an iron law set by the first Saint King.

The dinner, no, it was supposed to be a supper, was both silent and depressing, and on the table in front of the old duke was only a wooden cup containing the scarlet liquid.

The old duke would never have stationed troops on his manor, because of the scarlet liquid in the cup, and there were some things that he could only hide in the dark forever once he was exposed to the sun.

Soon, the old duke's family members left the table, and they were all more polite, after all, Su Xiao, a 'distant relative', was present.

"Kukulin White Night, I've never heard that the Holy Descendant can be reborn from death, this is the price of the God Hunter, and no one can avoid it."

The old duke leaned back on the seat and gently rubbed the small skull in his hand with his thumb, there were two skulls, which were strung together, and they were all a little pulped, these were the skulls of the old duke's two wives, which he had used the secret technique of the gods to become such a size, and had always carried it with him.

Seeing this scene, Bu Buwang, who was squatting next to Su Xiao's feet, was slightly stunned, it had seen walnuts and bracelets, but it was the first time he had seen his wife, and it was also the case of his brain.

"Nothing is impossible, and besides, as I said before, there is only a certain probability of success."

"In this case, in order to prevent you from slaughtering my family, I will explain in advance that even if I agree to canonize you as a duke, the other 4 dukes will not agree, they are not saints, and they are not qualified to be canonized as dukes."

The old duke is very aware of the current situation, even if the people of his family rush up, the result can only be slaughtered, there is no other possibility, unless the imperial army is transferred, it is possible to win.

"Oh."

Su Xiao was not surprised, he didn't get rid of the old duke before, in fact, this is the reason, the duke's position is not a killing inheritance.

As for what the old duke just said that he could not be canonized to Duke Su Xiao, there is no problem with this, in the final analysis, the Sierra Empire is in the hands of the Holy Descent, they are already standing on the top of the pyramid, and they will not allow ordinary people to set foot in their power, this is the foundation of their survival, otherwise they will become rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and the case can refer to the ghosts on the ghost continent.

"Did I say that I want to be canonized as a duke directly?"

Su Xiao's purpose is not to ask for a title, he wants real power, enough to access the real power of other imperial high-level officials.

If the space-time hub is installed in the city of Aranth, then it will only be in the hands of the Holy Descent King, but it is too difficult to reach the Holy Descent King.

"And you want me to be your puppet?"

The old duke said this sentence very casually, which seemed to be a joke, but in fact it was a temptation.

"Letting an old immortal become a puppet is the stupidest choice."

"And what do you mean?"

"What criteria is the ascension of the Holy King to the throne?"

“！”

The old duke's gaze gradually sharpened, and in turn, he was so angry that he smiled.

"Kukulin White Nights, we undead have been able to control the Serra Empire to this day only because we are united enough ......"

Speaking of this, the old duke was a little speechless, because Su Xiao looked at him at this time, and it was clear: "Can you not fart." ’

"Ahem, the conflict between me and Duke Li Lin is just a game between old friends, that's all."

The old duke's fists were clenched, and his gaze was like a demon who wanted to devour his life alive.

"I'm not interested in being crowned King of the Holy Descent, but in other matters, I can cooperate with you, and I'm tired of the right to the duke's throne."

The old duke's words gave Su Xiao an important clue, that is, what the saints were fighting for each other, even at the expense of breaking the balance of power.

Greedy, fickle, and without any call when he turned his face, this is the most intuitive feeling that the old duke gave Su Xiao, as for what the saint has lived for too long and is tired of the world, judging from the old duke's performance, this old guy is not only not tired, but enjoys it, for some saints, immortality is a calamity, but for the old duke, immortality is what he wants.

"Artifacts? Weapons? Or is it some kind of ability? ”

Su Xiao's words made the old duke rub his temples lightly, the uninvited guest he met was not only strong and monster-like, but also had a terrifyingly high IQ.

"It was a gem, and it is said that a thousand years ago, a group of explorers found a corpse from the abyss, and the corpse held the gem in its hand."

"Gems? Specific characteristics: ”

“……”

The old duke was silent for a moment, and after thinking that Su Xiao was not a saint, he took out a strip of cloth from his arms, on which something was painted with blue dye.

The old duke put the strip of cloth on the dining table and pushed it in front of Su Xiao very 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 inhibit the disconnection of the undead, or rather, it can be embedded in the soul."

Su Xiao didn't care what the old duke was saying, he wanted to put the dragon slaying flash into the storage space at this time, but considering the concealment of the mosaic effect, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The purpose of the old duke, Su Xiao basically judged that the two sides met in this form, even if they cooperated, the old duke was more inclined to use him.

Su Xiao didn't care about this, they just used each other, there was nothing to complain about, what he cared about was why this old guy took out a rag with the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow, or why did the Stone of Broken Soul Shadow appear in this world.

So far, Su Xiao has found three Broken Soul Shadow Stones, if what the old duke said is true, then this is the fourth, when Su Xiao gathers five Broken Soul Shadow Stones, he will have a chance to obtain the Broken Soul Shadow ability.

Moreover, the old duke also said just now that this Soul Breaking Shadow Stone was held in the hand by a skeleton, could that skeleton be the bones of the previous Dharma Exterminators?

If this is the case, is it possible that the previous Dharma Destroyer left something on his bones? Once it is really lost, Su Xiao can find the skeleton and make a lot of money.

Of course, the old duke's words are true or false, whether this information is true or not, we have to judge carefully, but the old duke is a smart man, and now Su Xiao can kill him at any time, lying at this time will only make him die faster.

"It just so happens that I'm looking for something."

A smile appeared on Su Xiao's face.

"Yes, then our meeting is not only my luck, but also your luck."

The old duke smiled more and more kindly, and in his right hand he still coiled the skulls of his two wives, the skulls of which reflected the warmth in the candlelight.

"Yes, but cooperation requires trust."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette, and his words were insincere.

"Of course I trust you."

The old duke said this without distraction, and 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 as soon as he had the opportunity, he would mobilize an army to get rid of Su Xiao, but after negotiation, he decided not to do it, because this was an opportunity, a chance to get rid of the curse, and he could live forever without having to bear the price of eternal life.

"Wow~"

The cry came, a little Lori of the Holy Descent who was eavesdropping, was directly frightened and cried by the conversation between Su Xiao and the old duke, for some reason, Su Xiao and the old duke were obviously laughing, but this little Lori of the Holy Descent was afraid, afraid from the bottom of her heart.

There are five dukes in the Sierra Empire, all of whom are old yin beeps who have lived for an unknown number of years, and they are so dangerous that Xi does not dare to come here at all, and the situation here is no longer something that Xi can deal with her wisdom alone.

And today, Adrian Alver, one of the five dukes, made a huge mistake that he should not have had dinner with an alchemist.
