On the bustling street, Su Xiao and the old god stick walked side by side on the main street. The Royal Garden was not far from the chapel, only less than one kilometer away.
"Is this the royal garden you're talking about?"
Su Xiao looked up at the stone porch, which was more than 30 meters high. He believed that this was the main entrance of the palace.
"This is the smallest royal garden."
The old magic stick was a little helpless.
"It's a miracle the empire hasn't fallen yet."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. In this world with technological gaps, his behavior of smoking was not inconsistent. Yes, there were serious technological gaps in this world. It felt like certain technologies were suddenly discovered, and this kind of
Advanced technology does not play a big role. For example, wind power generation, 90% of the electricity is used for lighting.
"I think so too. The life of the royal family is too luxurious. I heard that some dukes like to feed on human milk. What a sinful behavior. It is the water of life that only belongs to new life."
When the old magic stick said this, his expression was a little distorted.
"You should see a psychiatrist."
"..."
The old magician was silent, he had indeed done this, but the quack doctor wanted to imprison him.
The two walked into the garden. When they first entered, there were several flower beds. As they walked in, there was a corridor. On both sides of the corridor were large seas of flowers. The fragrance of all kinds of flowers was mixed together. It didn't smell good, but it gave people a sense of comfort.
Along the corridor, Su Xiao and the old magic stick came to a tall sculpture. Four maids had their backs to the two of them. In front of them, kneeling was a famous lady with long light red hair and a beige dress.
girl.
"O God, please forgive their behavior. They were just deceived by evil. I would like to forgive them, and please do not sin against them. May the people of the empire be safe, with abundant food, lovely children, and good health.
A kind companion..."
This girl is none other than the Princess of Dawn, Pedela. Judging from her aura, she is a princess who is not extremely beautiful, but is kind and innocent.
"God cannot meet your expectations; only you can."
Su Xiao didn't know when she was squatting next to the Princess of Dawn, Pedela. Pedela's eyelashes trembled slightly and her body was shaking a little.
"Are you here...to kill me?"
I don’t know how many times she has been assassinated. When meeting a stranger, the princess’s first reaction was to kill her.
The four maids who had also closed their eyes in prayer suddenly opened their eyes, cold sweat oozing out from their temples. Two of them rushed towards Su Xiao, and the other two rushed towards the Princess of Dawn, Pedela, intending to protect her under them.
A minute later, Su Xiao sat on the two maids stacked on top of each other. The breeze blew and the white petals floated near Su Xiao.
"Don't even think about getting close to her."
A maid who was kneeling on the ground, with her forehead on the ground and her hands covering her lower abdomen, spoke, blood dripping from the corners of her mouth. According to the old magician's information, all the family members of Princess Pedela of Dawn had long since died, and there was only this person around her.
Protected by four loyal maids, if she had not posed little threat to other power grabbers, she would have died in a stinky ditch or been sold to the border to give birth to a baby for those barbarians.
"The situation is as you can see. You have two choices, either the four of them die, or you become the next heir to the throne."
Su Xiao shook off the blood on her hands. The old priest, whose hands were also stained with blood, was confessing. In fact, this old man was more ruthless than Su Xiao.
"I, I..."
Princess Pedela of the Dawn was so stunned that she turned into a repeater with tears in her eyes.
"So, you agree?"
"I……"
"Well, very good. Since you agree, then you are one of the candidates for the next Black King."
"Ugh, I don't agree. Who are you?"
Princess Pedela of the Dawn cried out. Seeing this scene, the old magician wiped the blood off her hands.
"Your Highness Princess, I am Ken Lahan. Don't you remember me anymore? I hugged you when you were little."
The old magic stick returned to his kind look and patted Pedela on the shoulder.
"Have you ever hugged me?"
Pedela's mood is more stable, and more importantly, she calls Ken Lahan "you". Of course she has heard of such a big shot as Ken Lahan, "King Nu Ken Lahan!" All the nobles in the empire
Everyone knows this person, but not many have seen it with their own eyes. This was the former right-hand man of the Black King. When the King was angry, the first one to find his enemy was definitely Ken Lahan.
"We are here to help Her Royal Highness restore the glory of the empire and make the people happy..."
The old magician Ken Lahan started his brainwashing work. He put one hand behind his back and gestured to Su Xiao not to irritate the little princess yet.
After half an hour of 'mental counseling' by the old master, Pedela, who is only fifteen years old, is completely at a loss. Her expression seems to be asking, where am I? Who am I? Can I really do it?"
The mental counseling continued. Su Xiao, who was sitting on the two maids, was flipping through some information. At this moment, he suddenly felt something touching him, and the figure of Bubuwang appeared.
I saw Bu Bu Wang sticking out his tongue and gasping for air. He was obviously very tired from running all the way.
Bubuwang looked at Su Xiao with questioning eyes, meaning: "Who is this cute little girl and that old monster?"
Su Xiao briefly explained the current situation through the adventure group channel. Bubo Wang's big watery eyes seemed to be shining, obviously very interested in the situation in the Holy City, and seemed to be saying: "Master, who is trying to trick you this time? I will do it first."
Go and monitor and definitely arrange the opponent clearly."
"It has not been determined yet. Seizing power comes second, and finding the violators is more important."
Su Xiao's three goals, the main mission, finding the violator, and arriving at the Deadly Silent City are not in conflict. These three are closely related to the royal power, especially the Deadly Silent City. From what the old man said, it is obvious that he did not even search for the violator before seizing the royal power.
There is no qualification to go to Dead Silence City. If Su Xiao guessed correctly, the source of darkness may also be obtained there.
"If it's for the people, I'm willing to do it."
Pedela nodded solemnly. In fact, she mainly wanted to save her four maids now.
"Okay, we will help you get back what originally belonged to your father."
The old magician's expression became more and more kind.
"What?"
Pedela was still confused. She felt like she was dreaming, and nightmares alternated with sweet dreams.
"The military power your father once had."
The old magic stick turned to look at Su Xiao. When he saw Bubu Wang appearing next to Su Xiao, he was confused for a moment, but he didn't ask much. In fact, the old magic stick didn't care who ascended the throne at all, he just wanted someone
People sit there as quickly as possible and suppress the 'residents' of Dead City. What the Black King left there can no longer last long.
One member of the power-seizing team was promoted, and with Pedela and four maids supporting each other, the group went straight to the Senate.
On the streets on the west side of the Holy City, a girl wearing a dark green robe and a hood was walking among the crowd. She had a straw in her mouth and was drinking yogurt. She was always maintaining her strength.
The habit developed by Hei Yuan, she is about to find the target of this mission, the hunter, and whether this hunter is easy to communicate with is a problem that Arturia has always been worried about.
