Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Things went more smoothly than expected. Su Xiao turned and left. The tomboy princess pulled the blanket on her shoulders and looked at Su Xiao's back.

After a moment, the macho princess suddenly shouted, "Is the situation so bad? Tell my father that if he needs me to go to the battlefield, I will not refuse."

Su Xiao stopped, and the tomboy princess raised her chin slightly at Su Xiao.

These princes and princesses are completely different from those characters in palace fighting dramas.

They all knew very well in their hearts that compared to power, the continuation of the kingdom was the most important.

Without the kingdom, they would all be hunted down mercilessly by the Undead, and would not be able to escape even if they fled to the ends of the earth.

Afterwards, the two began to "visit" the princes or princesses who participated in the struggle for power one by one.

Surprisingly, most people's attitudes are surprisingly consistent.

They said they could give up the struggle for power but could not be deprived of the territory under their rule.

These territories are like "consolation prizes" after giving up the struggle for power.

In fact, the old king had already agreed to this.

As for the issue of the new prince's territory, in the current critical situation, there is no time to think about so much. The most critical thing is how to successfully survive this disaster.

After about two hours, the two had "visited" a total of twenty-six princes or princesses.

Among these people, there were two who had extremely inflated ambitions, and at this time, someone was already dealing with their affairs.

On the streets of the royal capital, Su Xiao and Lin Yi walked slowly and leisurely, each holding a fruit that looked like a peach in their hands.

"You know what, this thing is really sweet. Do you think it can be grown in the real world?" Lin Yi took a bite of the fruit in his hand and found that the fruit was crispy and fragrant, with an excellent taste, much better than peaches in reality.

"It's a bit difficult. Some people have tried to bring the seeds of the Paradise of Reincarnation into reality through other means, but I don't know if it was due to the lack of some element or other reasons, none of these seeds were able to germinate, and in the end they had to give up." Su Xiao answered this question for Lin Yi.

Bubuwang had previously wanted to transplant a fruit tree from a captive world of gourmet food into the real world. He was looking forward to tasting such delicious fruit in reality, but unfortunately his plan ended in failure.

"That's it."

When the two finished all this, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning.

When Su Xiao visited the last princess, the princess was extremely nervous.

Her body was trembling slightly, her face was pale, her eyes were full of fear, and she almost peed her pants.

After all, the princess has always been a person who likes to slack off. In her imagination, Su Xiao came to her maybe to have some sex.

You know, no one knows the extent of the chaos in the kingdom's upper echelons better than the royal family.

"Wang."

Bubuwang barked, which meant: "Master, I want to eat meat."

Crunch, crunch, crunch... Su Xiao chewed the fruit flesh in his mouth, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the silent night.

Although this thing tastes good, considering his physique, it can only slightly relieve his hunger.

"Bear with it for now." Su Xiao said vaguely while chewing the fruit in his mouth.

After hearing this, Bubu Wang sighed helplessly, hung his head, and looked a little depressed.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the old king will hold a banquet later."

After hearing Su Xiao's words, Bubu Wang, who was so hungry that his steps were trivial, became much more energetic, meaning: "Really?"

"Of course, if there is no banquet, we will rebel against him."

Lin Yi smiled. He knew that he was not joking. At this time, if the old king did not give rewards, it meant that the old king had begun to doubt Su Xiao.

If this happens, Su Xiao will definitely kill the old king and a large group of princes and princesses before his power is taken away.

When the two men returned to the palace to report, the old king did not hold a banquet, but took a nap on the throne in the council hall.

“Old man, even though you’ve taken the secret medicine, you can’t be so exhausted. The secret medicine will only allow your body to recover. No normal person can endure your lifestyle.” Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh when he saw the old king who hadn’t slept yet.

The old king took out a ceramic bottle from his arms with trembling hands. He carefully poured some white powder from the bottle, poured it on the base of his left hand, and raised his left hand to his mouth and nose and took a deep breath.

"Huh~" The old king's breathing became much smoother and his flushed face gradually recovered.

He closed his eyes and quietly felt the changes in his body.

After a while, he opened his eyes, revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.

"Thank you for your hard work. I wanted to help you with the banquet, but I can't seem to hold out for much longer."

Hearing this, Lin Yi walked forward and gently felt the old king's pulse.

The old king did not stop Lin Yi's actions, but just looked at him quietly, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"How many secret medicines have you taken in the past few days? Why is your body being eroded so quickly?" A solemn look appeared on Lin Yi's face.

At this moment, half of the old king's tissues and organs have been transformed into undead organs.

"There's no way. This medicine also has resistance. If I don't increase the dosage, I'm afraid I can't hold on." The old king curled up in his chair, looking very weak and tired.

In the past two days, the old king has been working extremely hard and has used up his last bit of effort to suppress chaos among the upper echelons of the kingdom.

If the old king ignored these things, he should be able to survive for a few more months.

But once the old king lets go, the entire kingdom will immediately fall into chaos.

"Iron Hand, among my descendants, who do you think is the most promising?"

"The eldest prince."

Su Xiao knew who the old king supported the most, so he chose a relatively safe prince.

"Valentin is also optimistic about him."

The old king smiled. The Valentine he was referring to was Governor Joe Valentine.

The old king turned his gaze towards the side hall of the meeting hall and said slowly, "Valentin, come out."

With a creaking sound, a wooden door was gently pushed open.

Consul Joe Valentine walked into the council chamber. This henpecked official looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not had much rest in the past two days.

"You and Iron Hand made the same choice." The old king nodded slightly and motioned for Archon Joe Valentine to come forward.

Joe Valentine bowed and then slowly came to the old king, waiting for his further instructions.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The old king suddenly started to cough dryly again. The violent coughing seemed to shatter his body.

His hand shook violently, and the pottery bottle in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Seeing this, Joe Valentine rushed forward, quickly picked up the pottery bottle, and carefully poured the white powder into the old king's hands.

"Hu, hu, hu..." The old king was breathing heavily, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

"I used to use the medicine once every five days, but now I have to use it at least 5 times a day. When I get old, it's useless." The old king laughed dryly a few times, and that laughter was full of bitterness and self-mockery.

Joe Valentine lowered his head and didn't dare to smile.

He knew very well how the old king felt at the moment, and he also understood that he could not do anything inappropriate at this time.

"What about you, little brat?" After asking Su Xiao for his opinion, the old king turned his gaze to Lin Yi.

"Seventh Brother," Lin Yi answered without hesitation.

"Huh? I thought you would choose the third brother? Can you tell me why?" There was a hint of surprise in the old king's eyes.

He even sat up from his chair and looked at Lin Yi with curiosity.

"Seventh Brother can take me out to play, it's that simple."

As far as Lin Yi could remember, the Seventh Prince had often secretly taken Lin Yi out to play when he was a child. This was one of the few happy times that Lin Yi's predecessor had.

After Lin Yi grew up, the Seventh Prince secretly took him outside the Wall of God.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi was finally caught by the old king.

As for the seventh prince, he was in a miserable state and was beaten up by the old king.

Seven of the leather straps were broken, but there was nothing he could do. The seventh prince's physical strength was too great and the old king was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly beat the seventh prince?

"You are really different from your father." After hearing Lin Yi's reasons, the old king's eyes showed a different color.

That color carries with it surprise, emotion, and a hint of relief.

"Since you said so, I will give that guy Lao Qi a chance. This thing is for you, just give it to Lao Qi when the time comes." The old king slowly took out a seal with a lion head on it from his pocket.

The seal exuded an ancient atmosphere in the dim light. The only problem was that the lion carved on the seal had its eyes closed.

Normally, lion sculptures representing the royal family have their eyes open.

"Take this pendant and go to 555 Martolis Street. Those guys will help you then."

After saying this, the old king continued to lie on the chair, his tired body as if he could not bear the burden.

The old king now looks like an old man who is about to die and is giving instructions on his last affairs to his descendants.

"How long can you hold on?" Su Xiao said. Upon hearing this, Joe Valentine's eyes twitched.

"I may... not survive the night." The old king's voice was low and weak, like a candle swaying in the wind.

The old king gave Su Xiao a look, and the meaning of that look was very clear. As long as Joe Valentine's expression showed the slightest difference, Su Xiao would kill Joe Valentine on the spot.

"Your Majesty?" Joe Valentine was struck by lightning. He looked at the old king in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

The pair of eyes, which were originally bloodshot, turned red in an instant, and tears flowed from the eye sockets like a flood.

The old king stared closely at Joe Valentine's eyes. If there was anything wrong with Joe Valentine before, he would let Su Xiao get rid of Joe Valentine immediately.

Judging from the current situation, Joe Valentine is a loyal minister.

When the old king said that he would not survive the night, Joe Valentine's eyes immediately turned red, and that look of grief was by no means a disguise.

The old king had seen countless people, and he could see that Joe Valentine was sad from the bottom of his heart.

"Valentin, at my age, life and death are normal."

The old king was not afraid of his impending death, but faced it calmly.

He has experienced the baptism of time and has long become indifferent to life and death.

His body is now suffering torture that ordinary people can hardly imagine every moment. For the old king, death is the best relief for him in this situation.

"Valentin, go and fetch the eldest prince."

"Brat, call the seventh brother over." The old king said to Lin Yi again.

When the old king said this, Lin Yi understood the look in the old king's eyes. It seemed that he wanted to say something private to Su Xiao.

After the two left, the old king glanced at Su Xiao.

"After I die, Lin Yi will be in your care for the time being."

The old king did not expect that Lin Yi could get along with Su Xiao, the cold-faced killer. Originally, the old king wanted to find an opportunity to send Lin Yi to the border, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

"Under the throne." The old king suddenly spoke, and his words were like a thunderclap in the conference room.

“You are under the throne of curiosity.” The old king looked directly at Su Xiao. That kind of look was definitely not what a dying person should have.

"The high priest and Karen Garrett both knew that there were secrets under the throne, but they didn't know what exactly was under the throne. They died in front of you. As expected, they will reveal some secrets before they die."

The old king patted the armrests of the throne and leaned back on it, feeling the bumpy touch of the throne.

"Iron Hand, what are you looking for under the throne? There is nothing there that you desire." The old king's voice echoed in the council hall, plunging it into dead silence.

"Looking for the key." Now, Su Xiao was ready to talk to the old king.

He was not sure what was under the throne for the time being, but judging from the old king's tone, the other party did not seem to be resistant to the things under the throne.

"Key?" The old king was stunned, and then seemed to think of something.

"The key is on the first floor. You do need that thing. After all, you have inherited the power of the guardians." The old king nodded slightly, as if he had a deeper understanding of Su Xiao's purpose.

Su Xiao's identity as the Shadow of Destruction cannot be concealed at all. If the old king cannot discover this, then there is no need for him to continue staying in this position.

This old fellow looks like he is about to die, but in fact his mind is as clear as a mirror and he sees everything clearly.

"So what you're after is still power. I feel relieved now. I originally thought that what you're after is that thing. It's good that it's not that thing. It's good that it's not that thing."

The old king let out a long sigh, and the sharpness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.

In the old king's opinion, if Su Xiao went under the throne, there was no way he would come out alive.

The old king trusted the Iron Hand, but he was not sure that the Iron Hand would be loyal to the new king.

It is true that the old king will not live long, and before he dies, he will use the ultimate means to get rid of some people.

It is not wise to eliminate the Iron Hand by force, but under the throne is a good choice, so on the 'Night of Slaughter', the name of the high priest was added to the list.

Under normal circumstances, the high priest should be dealt with by the Royal Guards, because the Royal Guards are death warriors who can keep many secrets.

Given the old king's meticulous mind, how could he not have thought that the high priest would reveal the secret under the throne before his death?
He had already thought that the news under the throne was actually revealed deliberately by the old king.

The struggle for power is so ruthless. Just now, Joe Valentine, who worked diligently for the old king, was also tempted.

If Joe Valentine's expression had been slightly off at that moment, he would never have walked out of the chamber.

A new emperor has his own ministers. Can the new king really control powerful officials like Su Xiao, Joe Valentine, and Heslet?

The old king made a series of tests, and Heslet was the first to pass.

Joe Valentine had just successfully passed the test. As for Rowan Harvey, before the old king could test him, that guy gave the old king a "surprise".

As for Su Xiao's temptation, Su Xiao had no such opportunity at all.

Because most of the things he did were not allowed to be seen in public, such as killing powerful officials, knowing a lot of secrets of the royal family, persuading a large number of princes and princesses to retire, etc.

It’s not that the old king didn’t want to find an opportunity to test Su Xiao, but that he couldn’t do so.

God knows what will happen when testing. Others may not know Su Xiao's fighting ability, but the old king knows it very well.

The old king once thought of using the royal guards and the holy warriors in the royal capital to besiege Su Xiao, but that would definitely cause a big commotion.

Once the news gets out, the royal family's reputation will plummet.

As for not getting rid of the Iron Hand, that's nothing to joke about.

Except for the old king, other princes and princesses were a little scared when they saw Su Xiao.

They were so scared when they met, how could they expect Su Xiao to work for them? It was impossible.

The old king was well aware of Su Xiao's strength and influence. During this critical period of power transfer, he must handle his relationship with Su Xiao carefully.

The slightest carelessness may lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Your Majesty, will you allow me to enter under the throne?"

"There are at least 300 guards outside the palace."

The old king continued to look at Su Xiao, but a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. This was the first time the old king saw Iron Hand smile. He once thought that Iron Hand did not have such an expression as smiling.

“They can’t stop me.”

"What if I don't allow it?"

"Then I will kill all the royal descendants."

This time, Lidya Su finally stopped hiding his thoughts.

The old king remained silent. Just now, he had bared his fangs, ready to test Su Xiao and even take extreme measures.

But what he didn't expect was that the Iron Hand, who always obeyed him, also showed his fangs.

This sudden situation made it impossible for him to use any of the excuses he had prepared long ago.

Regarding the Iron Hand, the most ideal way is to let the Iron Hand die under the throne, or to become the same kind as those things under the throne and be suppressed under the throne forever.

However, the current situation is completely beyond his expectations.

"Who, exactly, are you?"

With the development of the situation to this point, if the old king still believed that Su Xiao was the original Iron Hand, he would have died from the frequent assassinations of the Undead.

"It doesn't matter, Bailly Herbert, how about we make a deal?"

"Oh?"

"Allow me to bring a prince or princess to the throne. As for the kingship, I have no interest in that thing."

"you……"

The old king looked at Su Xiao in astonishment. This was the first time he showed astonishment, or it could be said that this was a rare instance of him losing his composure.

"How do you know what it takes to enter under the throne? How could you possibly know!"

The old king forced himself to calm down, as the situation was clearly beyond his control.

"It's almost time, the deal is done."

The old king was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something. At this moment, he smiled, and his smile was somewhat relieved.

At this moment, the iron door of the conference room was pushed open, two figures walked into the conference room, and then the door of the conference room was locked.

Blood seeped in through the gap at the bottom of the metal door. At the entrance of the meeting room, there were more than a dozen corpses lying densely packed together. They were all the bodies of the guards.

Hundreds of guards with blood on their armor stood around the meeting hall, preventing anyone from entering.

"Father, I'm here to see you." A male voice came from the door of the conference room, and Joe Valentine followed the visitor respectfully.

"Hahahaha." The old king laughed heartily. He was very relieved now, very relieved.

"Martir, you have become my most outstanding offspring." The old king was not angry, nor did he roar. On the contrary, he looked at the visitor with only relief in his eyes.

The person who came was not the eldest prince who was highly anticipated, but the third prince, Martyr Herbert, who had lost some of his power at the beginning of the power struggle and was not a very high-profile third prince. (End of this chapter)
