Chapter 2: The Holy King

The streets are full of pedestrians, and judging by the looks of passers-by, their standard of living is not embarrassing.

In front of some of the buildings, groups of men and women gathered to talk about the corruption and incompetence of the officials of the Serra Empire, and a group of patrolling militiamen happened to pass by.

The degree of corruption of the Sierra Empire, Su Xiao had experienced it in prison before, as the overlord of the Eastern Continent, the power system of the Sierra Empire was corrupted to such an extent, and it had not been overthrown, so it must be different.

The Sierra Empire is not only internally corrupt, but the Northern Alliance, located on the northern continent, is at war with the Sierra Empire for many years.

The war between the two behemoths, of course, the other small countries on the two continents are uncomfortable, from 107 years ago, after the outbreak of contradictions between the two countries, the naval war between the two sides lasted for at least 70 years, and then the Serra Empire could not withstand the pressure of the front line and retreated to the land, but fortunately, the land army of the Serra Empire was strong enough to scare the Northern Alliance back.

Su Xiao looked at the medal in his hand, with this thing, he would be able to canonize an official position in the Serra Empire, as for how much power he could have, Su Xiao didn't have any expectations.

Su Xiao checked the task list, and a prompt appeared.

[The Hunter has accepted the dual main quest.] 】

[Due to the extremely secretive 'space-time pivot device' located in this world of Deathland, resulting in limited information, the main quest 1 will be released in the form of a guide, and hunters need to find clues on their own according to the mission guide.] 】

[Hint: There are seven rings in main quest 1, and the first three rings are less risky.] 】

Task Punishment: Forced Termination.

……

Su Xiao ignored the main quest 1 for the time being, because this quest has seven rings, just by looking at the content of the quest, he seems to be able to see a large group of old yin beeps.

As for the main quest 2, this seems simple and crude, but in fact it is not, and the quest reward will be based on the completion of the quest, which is very interesting.

According to Su Xiao's speculation, the reward for killing Xi is constant, and whether or not you can find out the existence behind her is the key, and it is also the bulk of the task reward.

There is plenty of time for the main quest 2, and Su Xiao doesn't know much about the situation in this world, so he continues to study the main quest 1.

To put it simply, the main quest 1 is to let Su Xiao get an official position in the Sierra Empire, and then find a way to get in touch with the high-level of the Sierra Empire.

As for the goal, it is to find the space-time pivot device located in the world of Deathland, so that you can enjoy the cake (Apocalypse Paradise) exclusively.

What really matters is where the 'space-time pivot device' is, since it is a destructible device, it must be protected, such as setting up an enchantment, or sealing it in a dangerous place, or directly handing it over to the big people in this world for safekeeping.

For example, if you disguise the 'Space-Time Hub Device' as a sacrificial item, the big person who holds the 'Space-Time Hub Device' can obtain items that do not exist in the world by sacrificing resources in the world.

In this way, the big man will use his power to protect the 'Space-Time Pivot Device', as well as collect resources, and 'sacrifice' to Deathland, at that time, Deathland will only need to give some small profits that are not available in this world.

It is important to note that there is no arm's length deal without a contract with the HKDL, and the HKDL will maximize its benefits in accordance with the Ordinance.

Of course, disguising the 'space-time hub device' as a sacrificial item is just Su Xiao's guess, from the perspective of security, it is much more reliable to let a certain big person keep the 'space-time hub device' than to place it in danger, and it is more difficult to be discovered, after all, everyone will do their best to protect their own interests.

According to this line of thinking, the task flow in Su Xiao's mind gradually became clear, first of all, he had to contact the rulers of the Sierra Empire first, so as to determine whether the 'Time and Space Pivot Device' was in the Sierra Empire.

If it is not in Serra, there are not many remaining locations, and the Northern Alliance or the Abyss, weaker than these three forces, may lead to the loss of the 'Space-Time Hub Device' in the inheritance.

When Su Xiao met the female contractor/worker Selvi, the ultimate goal of the other party's main quest was to obtain the first-class medal of the Sierra Empire, so as to help Su Xiao, who had just arrived in the abyss world, gain status.

Su Xiao sat on the stone steps on the side of the street, and completed the task in one ring according to the rules, which was obviously not his style, not to mention, the main task 1 had seven rings, and it was too troublesome to complete one ring, and he could guess without looking at the follow-up tasks, the first few rings were nothing more than climbing above the power system of the Sierra Empire.

Su Xiao's breath was completely retracted, and a gold coin appeared in his hand, he seemed to be inadvertently throwing the gold coin in his hand, but in fact, he was sensing the gaze of the pedestrians around him.

The passers-by cast different glances, including doubt, envy, well-intentioned concern, and lastly, greed.

Sensing the last gaze, Su Xiao stood up and walked into a narrow alley, seemingly defenseless.

A man with a lazy expression, less than thirty years old, glanced at Su Xiao with his peripheral vision, and naturally followed Su Xiao into the narrow alley.

Located across the street, a young man who was about fifteen years old at most, with a fluffy beard on his mouth, saw this scene, which made his heart beat not only faster, but also a little nervous, a little scared, and a little excited, after hesitating for a few seconds, he picked up a wooden stick in his hand, ready to be a righteous friend.

A heavy feeling suddenly appeared on the boy's shoulder, and the boy was startled and immediately wanted to wave his hand away.

"Bunny, you're going to do justice with this? The stone at your feet is more reliable than this thing. ”

Baha's unscrupulous voice reached the young man's ears, and at the same time, in the narrow alley where Su Xiao was.

"Well, well, that's right, the commander should at least ......"

The man with a languid expression before was sitting on a wooden box, crumpling a few gold coins in his hand, and the crisp voice made him feel happy.

"Therefore, the commander is an official position in the military, the title is hereditary, and the permanent official of the empire is through assessment and bribery."

Su Xiao threw a gold coin at the lazy man as he spoke.

"That's right, that's right, unlike the Anu border in your hometown, brother, as the holy capital of the empire, Alans is full of opportunities, gold, and women, and this is a good place, and prostitutes and women are more beautiful."

The lazy man was a little scrambling, and the smile on his face was even more flattering.

"Your name is ......"

"Hyena, sir, you can call me that, if nothing else......"

The eyes of the lazy man who called himself a hyena flashed, Su Xiao pointed to the entrance of the narrow alley, seeing this, the hyena nodded and stepped back, seemingly respectful, but in fact he didn't want to turn his back on Su Xiao, although he was just a famous ruffian, but this kind of IQ still exists.

This kind of ruffian has no value to get rid of, or rather, this is also the insurance set by Su Xiao, once he is hostile to the high-level of the Serra Empire, this ruffian named hyena will not be able to escape, and at that time, he will provide the opponent with wrong information.

Through the conversation with the hyena, Su Xiao learned a lot of information, and the power system of the Sierra Empire can be divided into three parts, the army, the hereditary title, and the permanent official.

If Su Xiao gets an official position with the first-class honor in his hand, then he is an official of the imperial army, and there are two ways to climb up, go to the front line to fight, or bribe high-ranking officials of the empire.

The resident officials are canonized after selection and assessment, which is a lifelong system, of course, which can also be opened up through the gold pound.

The hereditary title is the most special and difficult status to canonize.

It's nice to be a military official and work your way up the ladder, but that's too slow.

"Adrian Alver, the old duke on the sickbed, this is a good choice."

Su Xiao muttered in his mouth, of course he would not climb up step by step, it was too slow, he was ready to start as a duke, and above the duke's position was the king of the Serra Empire, or rather, it should be called the king of the Holy Descent.

From the establishment of the Serra Empire to the present, there is an iron law hidden in the darkness, but it cannot be broken, that is, only the Holy Descendants are qualified to be kings, and Sierra is an empire ruled by the Holy Descendants.
