The candle flame flickered, and a little girl less than ten years old was hanging her head to face the wall, and it could be seen that her body was shaking, even if she was a saint, her heart was full of despair and helplessness at this time.

At the table, the old duke poured some scarlet liquid into a delicate oak cup, it was not blood, the old duke was tired of the rusty smell of blood, this scarlet liquid called 'Crimson Bounty', a wine made with life force, created by a crazy widow.

At first, because of this wine, there was a lot of commotion in the city of Arans, and then it was the old duke who took over the matter and was able to calm down.

"Mersidis, do you know what the punishment will be for eavesdropping on my conversation with the guest."

The old duke slightly raised the wine jug in his hand, meaning to ask Su Xiao if he wanted a drink, Su Xiao declined, saying that he did not drink, in fact, he did not have the habit of drinking 'high-concentration compressed explosives'.

"Ancestor... Grandfather, I'm Tasia, Mersidis is my ......"

Little Lori Tasia said that she didn't know what to call her grandmother's grandmother, and as for calling the old duke her grandfather, it was because in her personal understanding, male elders with more than 5 generations were classified according to their grandfathers.

"Tasia?"

The old duke muttered earnestly for a few seconds, but in the end, he still did not remember which generation Tasia was from.

"It's so late, go back to sleep."

The old duke smiled kindly, and he didn't say anything until Tasia walked out of the banquet hall.

"Alver, where is the soul stone you are talking about, if you don't have even the most basic clues, it is impossible to find it."

The soul stone that Su Xiao said is the old duke's name for the Broken Soul Shadow Stone, as for helping the old duke find the Broken Soul Shadow Stone, of course Su Xiao will find it, as for how to find it, of course it is a private swallow, the Broken Soul Shadow Stone is very important to Su Xiao, even if he directly turns his face with the old duke, it doesn't matter.

The thoughts in Su Xiao's mind gradually became clear, his ultimate goal was to destroy the 'Space-Time Pivot Device', the current situation was that even if the Space-Time Pivot Device was not in the Serra Empire, Su Xiao would not leave here, he had to obtain the Broken Soul Shadow Stone first, as well as the skeleton that held the Broken Soul Shadow Stone in the first place.

There are two things that can be done right now, one is to find and obtain the Shadow Stone of Broken Souls, and the other is to find the skeleton whose identity is unknown.

On the way to complete these two things, Su Xiao was also able to find out the news about the 'space-time hub device', which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

As for getting rid of Xi, Su Xiao is not going to go to the woman for the time being, it is a waste of time, when he completes the first three purposes, the power in his hand will be able to find Xi's traces all over the world, and then he will find her out and kill her.

After straightening out his thoughts, Su Xiao began to determine the conditions of cooperation with the old duke, the content of the cooperation was very simple, during the period when Su Xiao helped the old duke find the soul stone, the old duke would announce to the outside world that Su Xiao was his 'agent' and handled some things on his behalf, and the time was about 5 days to half a month.

The old duke's approach is quite smart, he will not lose power, but also let Su Xiao help him find the soul stone, it seems that everything is within the control of the old duke, which not only resolves the assassination crisis, but also receives strong reinforcements, because of this, he did not choose to turn against Su Xiao.

Another advantage of this arrangement is that the other four dukes can't say anything at all, because the old duke did not canonize the title to Su Xiao, but let Su Xiao be his agent.

The old duke can completely declare to the outside world that he himself is too old and wants to rest for a while, as the oldest saint among the five dukes, he can't find any problems with his words.

Of course, this was just the old duke's own thoughts, Su Xiao had been talking with the old duke for about half an hour, during which the old duke drank a total of 12 grams of high-concentration compressed explosives, as well as a small piece of banishment fragments separated to the size of dust particles.

When the two sides turned their faces, Su Xiao would let the old duke know how painful it was to break off cooperation.

At the moment, there is no direct contradiction between the two sides, so there is no problem with cooperation, provided that the old duke does not stab him in the back.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll let the other four dukes know first, and then you'll need to go with me to the Holy Court, and if the Saint King isn't asleep, we may be able to see him again."

"Yes."

"Very well, Kukulin White Night, you are now my acting agent Adrian Alver, and enjoy the duke's position to the fullest."

As soon as the old duke's words fell, Su Xiao received a large number of prompts.

[You have completed the main quest: Ring 1.] 】

Mission Info: Kill King Alexandre and gain his heart.

Tip: The Saint King's heart must be at least 50% complete, otherwise the mission will fail.

Duration: 20 calendar days.

Reward: Holy Spirit Chest

Task Punishment: Forced Termination.

……

Obviously, Su Xiao's choice was very correct, he directly sent the main quest to the fourth ring, skipping the first three rings, and these three-ring tasks should be to be 'coolies' for the imperial officials, so as to obtain a higher status.

As for the Fourth Ring mission, it's very exciting, kill Alexandria, the king of the Sierra Empire, and get the heart of the other party.

The difficulty of the mission is between Lv.56~Lv.63. The highest difficulty reaches the seventh order, obviously, this is a reckless difficulty, and at that time, not only will you need to face a large number of strong people, but you will also be besieged by the imperial army.

Of course, Su Xiao will not be reckless, he has now taken the line of the old duke, and is only waiting for the opportunity to meet the Holy Descent King alone in the future.

If the old duke knew what Su Xiao wanted at this time, he would definitely immediately break off the cooperation and draw a line with Su Xiao.

Before 12 o'clock in the night, Su Xiao left the old duke's manor, the old duke didn't trust him, of course he didn't trust the other party, in case this old guy's brain pumped and suddenly got tens of thousands of imperial troops, then Su Xiao could only retreat strategically.

In the dimly lit banquet hall, the old duke's cheeks twitched, and the cloudy eyes in his eyes showed a different look, which had only happened to such an interesting thing a few times in his long life.

"Kukulin White Night, is it a powerhouse in the abyss, or is it from the Northern Alliance?"

Hearing the old duke's words, Bu Buwang, who had integrated into the environment, was a little relieved, at least this old guy was not prepared to get the imperial army.

Su Xiao chose to cooperate with the old duke, of course, he would leave a back hand, and Bu Buwang would keep an eye on the old duke in the near future, so as not to stab the other party in the back.

In the wheat field in the field, Su Xiaoyuan returned to the city of Alans, and as soon as he arrived near the city wall, he received news from Baha, Bahar found a group of suspicious people, located under the city wall 2 kilometers away, the terrain of the broken city wall is somewhat special, and the moat under the city has not been maintained for a long time, and the moat has been covered by mud.

Su Xiao quickly arrived at the location that Baha said, and indeed found a few sneaky figures, and these people were still talking in a low voice.

"Are you ready?"

"Well, no problem, the city guards on the city walls are numb."

"Let these saints know how powerful our Apocalypse Paradise is in Xia, hahahaha~"

A super demonic laugh came, and anyone could not help but laugh at the sound of this laughter.

These men and women were all wearing black robes, and their breath was also hidden, hearing their conversation, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the hilt of the knife on his waist, he didn't want to be disrupted before the plan started.

The long knife slowly came out of its sheath, and just as Su Xiao was about to rush forward and cut down several contractors of the Apocalypse Paradise, he heard a few crisp sounds.

Click, click.

The metal machine stretched, and without seeing any movement from the contractors, they assembled a large machine.

Thundered......

The muffled sound spread, the sound was not loud, and most of it was absorbed by a layer of light film, and in a maximum of 10 seconds, the large machine sank into the ground, and the earth was pouring everywhere.

These people are specially here to mine, and they are digging at the base of the city wall, if this kind of courage is used in battle, it will definitely burst out with good combat power.

Su Xiao and Baha glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped back, this kind of good thing is not often encountered, preventing these contractors from mining? What a joke, of course, is to let them continue to dig and eventually obtain the minerals through 'friendly negotiations'.
