Chapter 3: The Old Stick

Su Xiao stood in the church, a beam of sunlight shining on the skylight, and dust particles flew in the sunlight.

"To be a king is to go through a lot of pain, the person you trust the most may betray you, your blood relatives will always think of you to death, you will face countless temptations, you will ......"

The clerical old man kept whispering, which made Su Xiao frown, this old man was very chattering.

"Ahem."

Su Xiao coughed lightly, and the clergyman's whispering stopped.

"Where did you just go?"

The clerical old man was a little dazed, and when he heard his words, Su Xiao almost pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"Let's get straight to the point, I probably know better than you what it takes to become the Black King."

Su Xiao pulled up the cuff of his left arm and tapped the metal arm guard with his index finger, and the color of the [Black King's Fall Sacrifice] changed, turning back to black.

When the clergyman heard this, his expression was obviously a little stunned.

"That's the king's ......"

As if thinking of something, he staggered to the gate and repeated to determine whether it was locked.

"Again, what can you do for me."

Su Xiao felt that the clerical old man was a little unreliable, and this old man was obviously a little senile......

"Where did we just go?"

The clerical old man began to be at a loss again.

“……”

Su Xiao took a deep breath and appropriately reviewed the previous conversation.

"Did you bring it back to save us?"

The clergyman's eyes were full of anticipation, the gaze of a traveler who was in the desert and was about to die of thirst.

"Probably...... Be. ”

"It must be, you have returned with the king."

The clergy old man walked quickly to the stone platform where the metal book was placed, he took the book, and the black line of Sisi merged into the clergyman's body from the book, making his cloudy eyes much clearer.

"Let's talk about the current situation, before I returned to the Holy City, I had been living in the north, and the lords of the north were very ambitious, and the first to send troops must be over there."

Su Xiao urgently needs to understand the situation in the Holy City now, and it is not enough to be a royal family, he also needs someone to support him, of course, his own combat power can also make it much easier for him in his future actions.

The so-called seizure of power seems to be an undercurrent and extremely complicated, but which of those people Su Xiao has come into contact with is not good at seizing power? The old lion of the world of Sia, Harold of the ghost world, which is not a super old yin beep? Which one is not a daddy in terms of seizing power?

Su Xiao has cooperated with these two people many times, and the power struggle in this world has lasted for more than ten years, and there has not yet been a second black king, which has already shown that there is no ruthless person like the old lion or Harold among the contenders.

Su Xiao is not ready to stand up and seize power by himself, he has to choose a controllable puppet first, the other party must have the identity of the royal family, but he is not capable of seizing power.

The reason for this is very simple, although Su Xiao now has the identity of the royal family, the imperial officials will not admit that an outsider suddenly appears, and those people are not NPCs in the game.

The clerical old man in front of him, the other party obviously did not support him because of his power, but wanted him to suppress some terrible things, that is, those 'residents' of Dead City.

If you can't directly come forward to seize power, this aspect can reflect the role of puppets, puppets have to live in the holy city for a long time, and have been forced to participate in the struggle for power, hard support, such puppets, if the other party is disobedient in the end, you can also consider using physical means to eliminate.

"The situation in the Holy City is very complicated, the approximate situation is that one-third of the rights are in the senate, one-third of the rights are in the hands of the princess, and the remaining one-third is in the hands of two dukes, the princess and the duke are both descendants of the king, because of the laws of the empire, until now, the capable men of the royal family can only become dukes, and women are relatively better and can become more powerful princesses."

The princess in the mouth of the clergy old man is actually a princess who is qualified to become a king, and there is an essential difference between a princess and a princess.

The situation in the Holy City was worse than Su Xiao had imagined, and even the Senate, a department that presided over neutrality, was involved in the power struggle.

The violators are likely to be among these people, Su Xiao is the first thing to do, of course, not to contact these people, he wants to find a puppet first, and then find a jack of all trades, judging from the current situation, the clergy old man is more of a recommender, and it is unknown how much power he has in his hands.

"What can we do in such a chaotic situation?"

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair as he spoke, he didn't believe in the old priest arranged by the Reincarnation Paradise, he was just an old god who was chattering.

"We can order the Senate to surrender all their military powers."

The clergyman spoke very calmly, as if discussing what to eat for dinner.

“……”

Su Xiao looked at the old god stick differently, obviously, this guy has a lot of power in his hands.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, I'm sure I'll be able to stay awake for at least 40 months from now on."

The old god stick smiled at Su Xiao, his aura gradually changed, if this was a kind old man before absorbing black energy, then now he is an old monster, Su Xiao even felt a vague sense of crisis, life and death fighting, he and the old god stick are at most five or five, this is funding from the reincarnation paradise, from this point can also be seen, how difficult that violator is.

"Very good, what are the royal families in the Holy City who have lost power, the more waste, the better."

"The royal family that has lost power? You're ready to ......"

The old god immediately understood what Su Xiao meant, and the gaze in his eyes changed.

"You should know that if I am directly involved in the struggle for royal power, not to mention whether I can get some military power, it is a question of the recognition of the officials and the people, we are not trying to rebel, but to regain the rights that originally belonged to us, which requires the support of other officials, as well as justifiable reasons."

The senate, the princesses, and the dukes never dreamed that their worst enemy would be able to finalize a plan in just one hour in a chapel.

"Let me think about it for a moment."

The old man walked into the hut at the back of the church, and after about ten minutes, he changed into a black robe.

"There are three suitable personnel, Duke Bernard of the Sea, the exiled princess Kaki, Princess Pedella of Dawn, the youngest Petella is only fifteen years old, this is a problem, but she has a lot of voice among the people, so she has been assassinated three times by some people."

"That's it."

Su Xiao simply decided to let the old god's fingers tap his chest.

"Forgive me, O God."

The old man seemed to have a little uneasy conscience, but in the blink of an eye, he took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom like a trick.

"Pedela prays in the royal garden every morning at ten o'clock, and it is now half past nine, and we should be able to see her there, O God, forgive me for my sins."

The old god stick looked at Su Xiao with a smile on his face, and now Su Xiao finally knew why the reincarnation paradise arranged the old god stick on his side.

"You don't need to pray to God, you may have killed no fewer people than I am."

Although the old god stick was well disguised, Su Xiao could feel the other party's blood, a blackened and dirty blood.

"Those who believe in the light never slaughter others, that is only cutting out the darkness."

The old god has a solemn expression, but he says things like a fart, and cutting off the darkness is especially murderous.

Su Xiao and the old priest looked at each other, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, and the old priest's finger was pointed on his forehead.

"God, please forgive me for my support of evil, which is helping more people."

If there really is a god of light, the god of light will definitely let the old god stick go as far as he goes, he doesn't have such a believer.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's go."

"Impatience is ......"

Bang!

The door of the church was kicked open.

"My door."

The old priest's face distorted for a moment, but it quickly returned to a kind and kind appearance, which was actually an even more terrifying change of mood.
