Chapter 37: Under the Throne

At the beginning of the struggle for power, the two favorites lost their qualifications, which is a pity for everyone and a helpless thing.

Su Xiao stood motionless in the council chamber, observing the remaining three princes and princesses.

The seventh prince was full of helplessness, he actually wanted to do something just now, but there are two things he is best at, one is to fight with a strong enemy, the other is to flirt with a sister, and then hehehehe, he can be called the little prince of iron kidney.

The Seventh Prince had wanted to step up like the other two princes and tell the old king that he would lead an army of holy warriors to the front.

After some consideration, the Seventh Prince dispelled the idea in his mind, if he really gathered the holy warriors scattered in the war zone, then the old king would lose sleep, he was not helping the kingdom through the crisis, but wanted to rebel.

Among all the princes and princesses, the seventh prince is the most threatening to the old king, not to mention his own combat power, his title of 'wings of the kingdom' alone is enough to reflect his prestige among the holy warriors.

The wings of the kingdom are not that the old king wants to be sealed to the seventh prince, but that after a certain event, more than 70% of the holy warriors send a request to the royal family, which is no longer a question of whether the old king is willing or not, but must be sealed.

Fortunately, the character of the seventh prince is a little lazy, which is commonly known as the Buddhist system, after this thing becomes the king, he will definitely marry a large group of beautiful queens and form a huge harem group, among which there will even be female holy warriors, which is what the seventh prince has always dreamed of.

Of course, the seventh prince of such a Buddhist system will not rebel, this thing is leaning back on the seat, looking at the ceiling at a 45° angle, it seems to be thinking about life, but in fact he is already thinking about where to go to flirt with his sister tonight.

Don't think that the Seven Princes are waste, as long as he is in the royal capital, no one can break through the royal capital unless the Necromantic army is overwhelmed.

The second princess is bowing her head and pondering, her purpose is very simple, that is, the throne, even if the eldest prince, the third prince, and the seventh prince can't compete for the throne, the new king on the throne doesn't dare to move them immediately, the financial resources and military power in their hands are not decorations, as for the seventh prince, can this product summon more than 50% of the holy warriors in the kingdom in a short time to move him? Looking for death?

The second princess is different, she belongs to black and white, and if the new king takes the throne, she will definitely not live.

The situation of the sixth princess is similar, her mad dog personality is too jealous, but she herself is not nervous, but is more interested in observing the expressions of the other brothers.

The struggle for power continues, but the situation is getting stranger and stranger.

The withdrawal of the eldest prince and the third prince is good news for other competitors, but not good news for Su Xiao, which will make the struggle for power more chaotic and time-consuming.

Fortunately, there was only one thing that Su Xiao needed to do now, and that was to find something related to the Shadow of Destruction Ruins.

Regarding the ruins of the Shadow of the Law Destroyer, Su Xiao learned some news from Yierduo's mouth, that is, the ruins were in the territory of the Necromantic Clan, which was not a secret to the high-level of the Necromantic Clan.

Although the ruins are in the territory of the necromancy, the necromancyrs cannot enter the ruins, and they do not have a 'key'.

The key in Ildo's mouth does not mean that the door of the Shadow of Destruction is locked, and even Ildo doesn't know the meaning of this key, but she knows one thing, that is, the 'key' is in the hands of the human royal family.

Before Su Xiao arrived at the council hall, he didn't know what the key in Ildo's mouth was, but after handing over the main messenger behind the scenes, Ruper, to the old king and completing the first ring of the hidden side quest, Su Xiao knew what the key was.

……

Through the information of the [Shadow Stone], Su Xiao already has a general understanding of the Shadow Ruins of the Law Destroyer, this ruin has three parts, and if you want to enter these locations, you need different 'keys', and the Shadow Stone is one of the 'keys'.

Su Xiao has already obtained the Shadow Stone, and not only that, but he has also obtained the information of the [Stone of Destruction], which is related to the second link of the hidden side quest.

……

If Su Xiao wanted to go to the Shadow of Annihilation Ruins, he had to find the 'key' first, although he had now found a key, which was the Shadow Stone, but of course the number of keys was the more.

'Under the throne', this message Su Xiao has heard many times, the high priest roared out of the throne before he died, and then he was divided by the Praetorian Guard, and the commander of the Karen Legion also said under the throne before he died, and then he drew his sword and killed himself.

Originally, Su Xiao thought that 'under the throne' represented some kind of darkness under the royal power, or some kind of curse.

It can be seen from the second ring of the hidden side quest that he was completely overthinking it before, and the meaning under the throne is simple and clear, that is, what is under the throne, that is, what is under the palace, and the throne is the entrance nine times out of ten.

This meaning is too simple and crude, making Su Xiaobai waste a lot of brain cells.

In the kingdom chamber, Su Xiao looked at the throne on the height, the metal throne was pitch black, it was said to be made of meteorites outside the sky, this thing gave Su Xiao the feeling that it was solid, at least he couldn't destroy this thing, as for the appearance...... It's ugly.

The surface of the throne is uneven, and it will definitely be separated from the buttocks after sitting for a long time, so it is covered with these layers of animal skins.

Nine times out of ten here is the entrance, but Su Xiao can't step forward to study it now, there are still a few princes and princesses around, he is going to study the throne now, and he won't be suspicious.

Not only that, but there are also a large number of traps under the throne, which can only be opened by someone with the blood of the Herbert royal family.

A plan appeared in Su Xiao's mind, first kidnapping a prince or princess, and then taking the other party under the throne to find the [Stone of Annihilation].
