"Uncle, it's not necessary. You should take a rest. Look at your body. It's not worth it to take medicine every day and get angry." Lin Yi walked quickly to the old king and hurriedly put the golden scepter in the old king's hand aside. Although Lin Yi knew that even if the old king used this thing, he might not be able to break the defense, but he still had to show his attitude. At this moment, a man with a cold face and a black windbreaker appeared in Lin Yi's field of vision, followed by a majestic big dog. When Bubuwang saw Lin Yi, he was stunned for a moment. He was originally ready to bark happily, but when he thought of Su Xiao's identity at the moment, he forcibly held back and did not yell at Lin Yi. After seeing Lin Yi, Su Xiao was also full of surprise. You know, the identity he exchanged was Iron Hand, one of the four powerful officials in the kingdom. How could this guy Lin Yi appear here? Seeing Su Xiao coming, the old king gave Lin Yi a small look, indicating that he would deal with you later. Looking at Su Xiao's youthful appearance, the old king's eyes revealed a complex look. He seemed to see his young self from Su Xiao's face, the same unruly and high-spirited self.
"You have a young body and powerful force. If I were you, I would definitely get a lot of women and be busy until the second half of the night every day." The old king smiled, with a bit of ridicule in his words. Su Xiao just stood quietly five meters in front of him, his face calm as water, and said nothing. The old king was not angry because of Su Xiao's silence. On the contrary, he had long been accustomed to this silence. The old king noticed that Su Xiao's eyes quickly glanced at Lin Yi after entering the door. However, the old king did not care. In his heart, Lin Yi's current performance is very much in line with his wishes. Although this guy clearly stated that he was not prepared to inherit the throne, the old king was not prepared to let the throne election affect Lin Yi. Therefore, this time, when Su Xiao came over, Lin Yi was specially asked to stand here. On the one hand, he wanted Lin Yi to understand the situation of the kingdom, and on the other hand, he wanted Su Xiao to help Lin Yi to deter other forces and let them not interfere. "How many dissidents have you helped me get rid of? Cough cough cough cough cough..." The old king put his fist tightly in front of his mouth and coughed violently. The sound seemed to cough out the lungs from the chest. This time, he did not deliberately avoid Lin Yi when he spoke. "257 people." Su Xiao replied expressionlessly, his tone was as calm as if he was telling a very ordinary thing. He knew clearly how many dissidents the "Iron Hand" helped the old king get rid of. After all, this was extremely important information. "Are there so many people already?" A complex look flashed in the old king's eyes, with both helplessness and heartache. "Power makes too many people lost, but they have forgotten that there are still those dead spirits outside the Wall of God who want to exterminate humans." The old king leaned on the throne, his body looked a little tired. A strand of coughed saliva stained his beard, but he ignored it. "Iron Hand, can I trust you?" The old king leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were no longer cloudy, but became extremely sharp, like two sharp swords, as if they could easily see through people's hearts. "Of course." Su Xiao's answer was concise and powerful, without any hesitation. "I can't hold on for much longer." "..." Su Xiao remained silent, just staring at the old king quietly. He knew that silence at this time was more powerful than words.
"You can't reveal this secret even if you die." "Clear." Su Xiao still had that calm tone. "My descendants are all on their way to the Holy City, and a new heir to the throne will appear among them." The old king's words let Su Xiao know that the main topic was coming. "Only those who are wise enough are qualified to inherit the throne. This is what the Iron Crown King has passed down, and it is also the key to the prosperity of the kingdom. My children add up to about... 48, no, 49. Some of them may be able to inherit the throne, or not, but in any case, the surname 'Herbert' will not be cut off. This is one of the reasons why we can fight against the undead." "Iron Hand, after they gathered in the capital, the struggle for power began. I want you to assist the victorious heir to the throne, just like you are assisting me now. Before the heir appears, you help me monitor them, and if they have the intention of rebellion, help me deal with them." The old king's tone seemed to be understated, but what he wanted to deal with was his own children. As the old king spoke, the main task in front of Lin Yi and Su Xiao was finally activated at the same time. [Hint: The hunter has activated the main task. 】 [Main Quest: Crown of Power] Difficulty Level: Quest Description: Choose a prince or princess and make him/her the throne. Quest Information: The hunter has 15 natural days to choose. Quest Deadline: 30 natural days. Quest Reward: 4 real attribute points, any skill level you have mastered will be increased by 1 level. Quest Penalty: None … "Calculate the time, my descendants will arrive early tomorrow morning. Tonight, you help me deal with a few people." The old king said as he took out a small roll of parchment from his arms. Su Xiao walked a few steps forward to the old king and took the parchment. "There is no need to let them disappear secretly this time. The new heir to the throne cannot convince the public. You need to let them know the consequences of confronting the surname 'Herbert'. No, let everyone in the royal capital know that you are iron-clad." The hand is my Bayherbert’s sharpest knife.” "Lin Yi, tonight you serve as my eyes and follow Iron Hand to these people's homes. Remember, no one will be left behind." The old king patted Lin Yi's forearm. In order to ensure Lin Yi's safety before the new king came to power, the old king specially arranged for Lin Yi and Su Xiao to do this dirty work together. In this way, Lin Yi is equivalent to a member of the Iron Hand faction in the eyes of outsiders. As long as those heirs to the throne are not fools, they will not threaten Lin Yi easily. You must know that the Iron Hand's power can be great or small. It is different from the position of General. For these crown princes, the Iron Hand is a greater threat than the general. Because the Iron Hand really has the right to kill them. Su Xiao knew that what she had to do was very simple, which was to kill those who had ulterior motives. Tonight, there will be bloodshed in the capital.
"You bring 50 direct guards of the royal family, and be sure to leave no one behind." The old king stared at Lin Yi and said while taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Lin Yi shrugged helplessly, indicating that he understood. "You bastard, get out of here as soon as you find out. Iron Hand, I will entrust this boy to you for the time being. If anything goes wrong with him during this period, you don't have to come to see me again." "yes." Su Xiao looked at the old king expressionlessly, not wavering at all because of the old king's words, just like a cold-faced killer. After saying that, Su Xiao turned around and prepared to walk out of the meeting hall. He did not use any honorifics, because he was the Iron Hand, and it was his mission to get rid of dissidents for the old king. Those complicated etiquette were not important to him at all. It makes no sense. Looking at Su Xiao's leaving figure, the old king showed a trace of regret on his face. "Lin Yi." "What's wrong, Fourth Uncle?" "If Hardy does something outrageous, give him a chance to change." The old king closed his eyes tightly. The Hadi he spoke of was the eldest prince, a 47-year-old prince. For the eldest son, the old king gave him an extra privilege. "Cousin? Yes, I will tell Iron Hand about this matter." "Then Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving. Also, if the broken medicine doesn't work, let's not take it. You don't want to be a Necromancer when you die." "You brat, you're educating me before I'm dead? Get out of here right now." The old king waved his hand in mock anger, as if he was about to pick up the golden scepter on one side. "Yes yes yes." Seeing Lin Yi's leaving figure, a smile appeared on the old king's face. How many years has it been, how many years has he not been so happy inside? ten years? Twenty years? The old king himself could no longer remember clearly. He vaguely remembered that since he was fifteen years old, he had been forced to learn all kinds of knowledge about governing the country, and from then on he embarked on a road full of blood and cruelty to fight for the throne. The old king sat up with great effort. He stood in front of the throne with a ragged figure, his eyes showing vicissitudes of life and exhaustion. He had a difficult victory in the power struggle 45 years ago, and as a price, he personally killed all his close relatives, including his father. That dark past, like a heavy shackle, has been weighing on his heart. I thought I would never experience the warm feeling of family love again in this life, but I didn't expect that I would meet this little guy Lin Yi before I died. Perhaps, God really saw how pitiful he was and sent Lin Yi down specially. Ten minutes later, Lin Yi and Su Xiao met at Iron Hand's residence. The courtyard of this house is extremely spacious, but the courtyard is overgrown with grass. Looking at it, it seems that it has not been taken care of for a long time. The pool was half dry, and there was no trace of any living creatures in the pale green water. Lin Yi was surprised to find that there were no servants in Su Xiao's residence. No, strictly speaking, there were two servants, and they were the two little lolita who looked to be only about ten years old. "Holy crap! Su Xiao, you guy has such a strong taste! You don't let go of a ten-year-old child. No wonder you always look cold and have no feelings for anyone. I, Lin, am ashamed to talk to you. Together." Seeing the two little twins running back and forth to clean the room for Su Xiao, Lin Yi had an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen something extremely amazing. After listening to Lin Yi's words, Su Xiao couldn't hold herself any longer.
As for Bu Bu Wang on the side, he was already lying on the ground, laughing so hard that he couldn't help but laugh. The atmosphere in the entire courtyard became a little weird for a moment, and Su Xiao's face was full of black lines, not knowing how to respond to Lin Yi's sudden accusation. "Okay, okay, I'll have these two guys when I come in." Su Xiao hurriedly explained. He didn't dare to tell the story about finding two little lolita warming his bed when he came in. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's big mouth, sooner or later everyone in the Samsara Paradise will think that Su Xiao is a lolicon. By then, Su Xiao will not be able to clean himself up even if he really jumps into the Yellow River. "By the way, what is your current status? Why is the old king so generous to you." Su Xiao glanced at Lin Yi, full of doubts in her heart. According to his understanding of the old king, that guy was not an ordinary person. If Su Xiao's performance today had any flaws, he would not have been able to successfully walk out of the heavily guarded palace. Who would not dare to kill the old king who had been on the throne for a lifetime? The position of Iron Hand looked impressive, but in fact, it was just a dog of the old king. As long as the old king wanted, he could replace Iron Hand at any time. This time was just a loyalty test of the old king, but Su Xiao passed it by luck. "My identity is the vice president of the Alchemy Academy, but I also have another identity as the son of the previous prince. For the old king, I am equivalent to his nephew." "No wonder, you don't have the right to inherit the throne, and you don't have hatred for the royal family. It seems that the old king is ready to protect you in this vortex." Su Xiao's brain turned very quickly. Almost after Lin Yi finished talking about his identity, he analyzed the cause and effect. The border between the Kingdom of Saint Sodin and the Undead Empire, the Wall of God, the Lulimas Snowfield area. This ice wall is a hundred meters high and more than ten meters wide, like an insurmountable barrier. At this time, a large group of soldiers wearing cold-proof clothes were standing on the ice wall and roaring. They lined up and worked together to operate thousands of heavy machine crossbows. "Bang!" With a loud noise, the taut crossbow string suddenly loosened, and the snowflakes falling in the sky were broken into large pieces. A crossbow arrow made of metal shot out. This crossbow arrow was at least three meters long. Its huge size did not look like a weapon used against humans. The metal crossbow arrow tore through the air like lightning and shot to the bottom of the ice wall almost instantly. There was only a muffled sound, and it shot through the body of a humanoid creature without any obstruction. With a "pop", the upper body of the humanoid creature exploded, and light green blood splashed everywhere. Its lower body rushed forward a few steps and fell to the ground. Under the ice wall, countless humanoid creatures rushed towards the ice wall like a tide. Their skin is pale and they look almost the same as humans, but their eyes are green, a kind of green that makes people shudder. Just staring at these eyes will make people shudder. Yes, they are the dead souls. The dead souls are numerous, but they are not cannon fodder. On the contrary, they are all wearing finely forged armor and holding weapons. Looking at their charge formation, it is clearly a well-trained army. "Gait (for the king)!" "Gait (for the king)!" Hundreds of thousands of dead souls roared and rushed towards the ice wall. They are not emotionless creatures. On the contrary, the dead souls are a kind of stubborn creatures. As long as they are determined to do something, they will do it no matter what the price. No one knows why the dead souls are so persistent in attacking the Wall of God.
You know, the territory they occupy is much richer than the Kingdom of Saint Sodin. In addition to the bad climate, the resources completely crush the territory of the Kingdom of Saint Sodin, so the dead souls will naturally develop their territory. Before the God's Wall appeared, the army of the dead spirits was fully capable of beating the human army, because their forging technology was more advanced and their military quality was far superior to that of humans. The dead spirits were intelligent. According to the investigation of human sages (sages: similar to scientific researchers), the IQ of the dead spirits was very high, and their creativity was even higher than that of humans. It was really incomprehensible that such a highly intelligent race would insist on attacking a strong wall that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The human soldiers did not understand, and their superiors did not understand, but they all knew one thing, that is, they must not let the dead spirits break through the God's Wall. Boom, boom, boom... The snowfield shook, and hundreds of thousands of dead spirits rushed to the bottom of the ice wall. The outside of the ice wall was almost vertical. The hundred-meter-high ice wall was as smooth as a mirror, and it was extremely difficult to climb. Whoosh, whoosh... Metal crossbows fell from the sky, and in an instant, thousands of dead spirits were stabbed into skewers and nailed to the frozen land. After the dead spirits rushed to the bottom of the ice wall, they raised their arms horizontally and stretched them back with force. Ding, ding, ding... Hook-shaped arm blades popped out from the metal arm guards of the undeads. They jumped up almost at the same time, and the hooks on their arms hooked towards the ice wall. The crisp sounds came one after another. Because the ice wall was too hard, most of the undeads failed, and only a few succeeded. They began to climb up. Although many undeads fell down during the climb, hundreds of undeads still managed to climb up. "Here they come again, these ice skins are really stubborn." A soldier on the ice wall spat, "Ice skins" is their name for the undead. "Don't talk nonsense, change to explosive arrows quickly, if these undeads climb up, many brothers will die again." The "explosive arrows" mentioned by the soldier on the side are actually a special metal crossbow arrow. This crossbow arrow will completely split after firing, and a three-meter-long metal crossbow arrow will split into at least hundreds of them. It's just that the "split arrow" is expensive, and it will not be used except when the undead climb the God's Wall. Boom, boom, boom... the rapid sound of war drums spread on the ice wall. Hearing the sound of war drums, all the soldiers rushed to the low wall protruding at the edge of the ice wall. This was almost their instinctive action. Dense black dots fell from the sky. If you look closely, you will find that these black dots are black spikes about one meter long. The spikes are covered with black spiral patterns, slender, and have strong penetrating power. This is the long-range means of the undead army, a weapon called "Death Spin". However, "Death Spin" is the transliteration of this weapon, which is translated into human language as "Black Curtain Rain". With a "crack", ice chips flew. A black spike pierced into the ice wall, and the splashed ice chips hit a soldier's face, and drops of blood oozed from his face, which shows how powerful this black spike is. 'Black Curtain Rain' is a very terrifying long-range weapon. Its only weakness is that it takes a long time to reload. The human soldiers all know this, so they immediately leave the bunker and aim at the undead below to pour metal crossbows. "Someone fell off the wall!!" A roar spread on the ice wall. According to common sense, it's nothing for a soldier to fall off the ice wall in this cruel war. However, this is not the case. This is not the case. Once a soldier falls off the ice wall, the nearby soldiers will immediately use a crossbow to shoot the soldier who fell off the wall. This is to help their comrades reduce pain. Being captured alive by the undead is too terrifying. That is not the treatment that intelligent life should suffer.
More than a dozen crossbows were aimed at the "soldier" who fell off the wall. "Captain!" Hundreds of soldiers screamed at the edge of the ice wall, and it was obvious that the one who fell off the ice wall was an officer of a high position. A young soldier swallowed his saliva. He did not shout like the other soldiers, because he clearly saw that his superior took the initiative to jump off the ice wall. Whoosh! Blue-white flames gushed out from the captain who fell off the wall. The crossbowmen who were aiming at him immediately turned around and no longer paid attention to the captain who fell off the wall, because he was a holy warrior. With a bang, the captain fell to the ground, and the large area of snow around him melted, revealing the wet ground, but the next moment the moisture in the soil was evaporated by the high temperature, and the ground around a hundred meters began to crack. At this moment, on the God's Wall, dozens of contractors were fighting hard in the crowd. Some of them were beggars and had no way to negotiate with others smoothly, so they could only choose to start with the army. In this way, at least there would not be too much shortage of supplies. The only problem is that this hellhole is too dangerous. Heslett was wearing armor and standing on the God's Wall, looking at the charging dead souls below, with a look of disdain on his face. "It just so happens that the king has ordered the capture of some dead soul monarchs, and I was worried about where to find them. Since you have delivered them to my door, I will not be polite." Behind Heslett stood the strongest holy warriors in the kingdom. They had only one mission, which was to capture dead soul monarchs to make medicine for the old king. (End of this chapter)
