Inside the palace meeting room.

Hundreds of guards are guarding near the throne. Ever since the palace was inexplicably hit by a sudden earthquake yesterday, the entire palace has been under martial law.

You should know that when the royal family chose the location of the royal city, they took natural disasters into consideration.

The royal city where the Saint Sodin Kingdom is located has not experienced an earthquake for thousands of years.

When the earthquake suddenly struck yesterday, people were terrified and almost thought it was an invasion by the undead.

This made the Fourth Princess very upset. She had to work very hard to calm the people's panic.

In the next room to the council hall, the fourth princess held a pile of official documents and war reports in her hands, which described the current critical situation in detail.

Recently, the Undead soldiers seem to have gone crazy, attacking the Wall of God frantically like a tide.

The fierce offensive caused the pressure on the front line to increase sharply. The kingdom's general, Heslet, had sent messages for help many times, and the words between the lines revealed the tension and difficulty of the war on the front line.

Looking at the kingdom’s financial situation, it is simply too horrible to look at.

After Rowan Harvey confessed everything, not only the Fourth Princess was shocked, but the entire upper class of the kingdom was in an uproar.

Today, the kingdom's finances are in a state of disarray, like an empty shell.

On the surface, it seems that there is still a lot of wealth, but in fact, the remaining wealth is barely enough to maintain the normal operation of the kingdom.

Fortunately, the old king had foresight and dealt with the Chief Justice in advance, which left a large amount of wealth for the new king.

Otherwise, with the current empty treasury, let alone supporting the war on the front line, it would be far from enough to even pay the salaries of the officials of these kingdoms.

Now the Fourth Princess is guarded by four holy warriors. Ever since she got the seal from the Seventh Prince that symbolizes the wings of the kingdom, the Fourth Princess can be said to have the military power firmly in her own hands.

During the short few days that she served as acting king, the fourth princess suddenly felt that the position of king was a hot potato and whoever was willing to take the position could do so.

Looking back, she must have been obsessed to be so intent on fighting for the throne.

The exhaustion from handling state affairs in the past few days made her miserable. She only slept for three hours in four days. The dark circles under her eyes were so heavy, as if she had been punched twice.

What was most difficult for her to accept was that she found herself losing hair in clumps.

So the Fourth Princess has already made up her mind that as soon as the Seventh Prince comes back, she will immediately return the royal power to that guy.

After all, the fourth princess fought for the throne largely to save her life.

In this treacherous royal family, if you excel in one aspect, you will naturally become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of others.

Even if the Fourth Princess doesn't want to fight anymore, she is forced by various forces around her and has to bite the bullet and fight for this symbol of power.

"Pass on my order to mobilize the 300,000 troops of the Northern Military District to the Wall of God. We must stop the attack of the Undead at all costs."

"Yes!" After hearing the Fourth Princess' order, the officials below did not dare to delay for even a second and quickly bowed and stepped back to pass on this extremely urgent order.

Although the Fourth Princess was in power for only a few days, she fully demonstrated her swift and iron-blooded methods during this limited time.

Relying on the holy warriors around her, she directly killed those stubborn and clique-based officials, executing more than a hundred officials at once.

This bloody act was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing uproar in the entire royal city, and all the officials in the royal city were in danger.

Just when the fourth princess was having a splitting headache because of this series of events, she suddenly heard a faint noise coming from next door.

boom!
Metal and iron collided, and the throne high up in the conference hall flew up.

At this moment, a large group of guards rushed into the kingdom's meeting hall like a tide.

The fourth princess hurried to the Kingdom's Parliament Hall with several holy warriors.

"Sure enough, the air up there is better. I've been down there for too long and breathed in too much air and I feel like I'm going to turn into a corpse." Upon hearing this voice, the Fourth Princess' eyes lit up instantly. She was sure that she had not heard it wrong. This was the voice of the Seventh Prince.

The next second, Am crawled out from under the throne with an ice hammer.

Afterwards, the Seventh Prince, Lin Yi, Su Xiao and Bubu Wang filed out, and the last one to come out was the prisoner.

These people now looked dirty, or rather, so dirty that they looked like they had just crawled out of a garbage dump.

There was nothing they could do about it. After all, there was no place to wash down there, and the blood on their bodies had dried and solidified into lumps.

"Is this the breath of freedom? It's so comfortable." The prisoner raised his head slightly, his eyes focused on the ceiling that had not been repaired yet. Looking at the beam of sunlight coming in, a part of his breath involuntarily dissipated.

The fourth princess forced herself to put her hand on the shoulder of a guard beside her, and only then was she able to steady herself and avoid making a fool of herself in front of everyone.

"Constrain your aura." The seventh prince frowned, walked over quickly, raised his hand and gave the prisoner a slap on the head.

The prisoner, who was a little dazed by the sudden blow, finally came to his senses and retracted his breath.

"In that case, the contract has ended and it's time for me to leave." Prisoner Xing muttered.

As he spoke, a contract appeared in front of him and began to burn out of thin air. The dark blue flames leaped and soon devoured the contract.

What the prisoner never expected was that after this contract was burned out, there was actually another contract hidden under the ashes.

Under the gaze of everyone, the newly appeared contract suddenly seemed to be controlled by an invisible giant hand and split into four.

What’s strange is that all four contracts have the prisoners’ fingerprints.

The prisoner had never seen such a strange scene before. He opened his eyes wide and was stunned, looking dumbfounded.

Looking at the newly emerged contract and the power of the contract surging from his body, Prisoner Xing's mind seemed to suddenly crash, and everything went blank.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head and cast his gaze at Lidya Su.

"These are some guarantees I asked you to make to avoid you turning against me right away." Su Xiao spoke slowly as he lit a cigarette.

The smell emanating from his body was indeed a bit pungent, but they couldn't detect it when they were under the Temple of Xia. After all, the rotten and heavy smell in the mausoleum was much stronger than the smell on them.

But now that we're up there, the smell seems a bit unpleasant.

Prisoner Xing's face became a little gloomy and ugly, then he looked at the contents of the four newly signed contracts, and his expression eased a little.

The main content of these four newly signed contracts is actually to restrict the prisoners from attacking the other three people. Simply put, this is equivalent to a one-way non-harm treaty.

"You are nothing like your ancestors." Prisoner Xing stared at Su Xiao. In his impression, the Shadow of Destruction back then would not resort to so many complicated twists and turns. He always relied on one man and one sword to kill everyone, making them terrified and flee.

"I can't help it. I'm not as good as my predecessor."

Su Xiao did not feel the slightest bit of guilt about this. In his opinion, these were just some necessary measures to ensure his own safety.

"You're finally back! Here, this is the Iron Crown, take it back quickly." When the Fourth Princess saw the Seventh Prince, she walked quickly forward and couldn't wait to hand the Iron Crown on her head, which symbolized the supreme royal power, to the Seventh Prince.

When the seventh prince saw the iron crown, it was as if he saw a bomb that could explode at any time, and he shuddered all over.

He coughed twice and said quickly, "Ahem, Fourth Sister, look at how miserable I am now. How can I be fit to be the king? You have been managing the country quite well these days. Why don't you be the king?"

The seventh prince racked his brains and tried every possible way to get rid of this hot potato. He didn't want to be bound by the throne for the rest of his life.

In his opinion, if he really sat on the throne, he would not be able to go outside the Wall of God to cause trouble for those Undead Lords, and he would not be able to go out freely to have fun with those beautiful young ladies.

The fourth princess was so angry that she laughed. She finally realized that the bastard Seventh Prince was just going to be a hands-off boss.

"Don't try to push this thing to me anymore. Just sit on this throne honestly." The fourth princess smiled grimly and put the crown on the head of the seventh prince without saying a word.

The seventh prince felt somewhat helpless and raised his hand to gently touch the iron crown on his head.

It's really strange. Just a few days ago, everyone was fighting for this crown, but now, everyone has begun to dislike it.

"Okay, now that the crown has been returned to you, I'll leave. I haven't slept well these past few days, and I have dark circles under my eyes." The fourth princess took out a small mirror and looked at herself in the mirror with heartache.

You know, before she ascended the throne, the fourth princess kept herself more beautiful than those young girls in their twenties, but now, she looks as if she has aged by ten years.

"Don't worry, Fourth Sister, you must help me. Politics is not my forte. How about I give you the position of Cabinet Chief?" When the Seventh Prince saw that the Fourth Princess was about to leave, he immediately became anxious and quickly reached out to hold the Fourth Princess. Such a capable helper cannot be let go so easily.

"Head of the cabinet?" Upon hearing this position, the Fourth Princess frowned slightly and began to hesitate.

To put it bluntly, the position of cabinet head is actually equivalent to that of prime minister and possesses enormous power.

Moreover, the duties of this position are not that complicated. The only responsibility is to submit some key matters to the emperor for the final decision.

"Deal. But now, I have to go back and get a good beauty sleep. Don't disturb me unless necessary." The fourth princess glanced at the seventh prince, then turned and left the kingdom's meeting hall.

She hummed a cheerful tune as she walked towards her villa in the royal capital.

She planned to clear out all the mess in her mind first, and as for the follow-up matters, she would deal with them after she took care of herself.

A few people did not mind the blood stains on their bodies and held a banquet directly in the kingdom's meeting hall.

Ten minutes later, they sat down in a circle in the conference room and began to feast.

Originally, Lin Yi thought that Am's appetite was already ridiculously large, but until he saw Prisoner Xing's unique eating style, he suddenly felt that Am's eating style seemed very cultured compared to Prisoner Xing.

Am at least finished his meal before putting the plate into his mouth.

The prisoner was even more brutal. He just picked up the plate and stuffed the food together into his mouth. I don't know if his stomach could digest all this.

"Two more roasted lambs and a roasted cow." After the prisoner had crunched the bones in his hands, he continued to shout loudly to the attendant beside him.

Fortunately, the prisoners learned human language very quickly. Although they still stumbled a little when speaking, they had no problem communicating normally.

After hearing the prisoner's request, the servants around immediately walked out of the meeting room and asked the chefs in the kitchen to work overtime to prepare food.

"What are you going to do after you come out from down there?" The Seventh Prince looked at the prisoner with sharp eyes, and suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.

"I want to go around first and see how much this world has changed compared to the original Shia Dynasty." A look of confusion emerged on Prisoner Xing's face.

He had been trapped in the Temple of Xia for hundreds of years, and this long time was enough to erase the scenes from his memory.

"What do you plan to do after the rotation?" asked the Seventh Prince.

The prisoner shook his head slightly and said softly, "I don't know."

The Seventh Prince smiled and said enthusiastically, "If you have nowhere else to go, why not come to my place? I can't say anything else, but at least I can guarantee you enough food."

Hearing the words of the Seventh Prince, Prisoner Xing stared at him deeply.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a hint of Emperor Xia in the seventh prince.

The meal lasted for three hours as everyone ate and drank to their heart's content.

The imperial chefs in the kitchen have been replaced by three groups. The first two groups had to be supported and sent out because of hand cramps.

Am ate up the lamb leg in front of him and then burped contentedly.

Lin Yi, the Seventh Prince and the others had already eaten so much that their bellies were full and they lay on the carpet in the conference room, holding their stomachs.

As for the dried blood on several people making the carpet in the conference room dirty, the Seventh Prince didn't care about it at all. In his opinion, the worst that could happen was to replace the carpet with a new one.

"By the way, this is the iron crown you wanted." The Seventh Prince was lying on the ground, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he casually took off the crown on his head that symbolized the royal power and threw it to Su Xiao who was carefully maintaining the Dragon Flash.

Su Xiao reacted quickly, raised his arm slightly, and caught the iron crown steadily.

This crown is made of iron, which is hard and not easily damaged.

There was a bright red ruby ​​inlaid in the middle of the iron crown. Su Xiao easily took the ruby ​​off with skillful techniques, and then threw the crown back to the seventh prince.

"I'm ready to leave." After obtaining the Stone of Magic, Su Xiao suddenly said this to everyone.

Lin Yi was not surprised by this, because before they left, Su Xiao said in the communication channel that he was going outside to look for the remains of the Dharma Destruction.

Originally, Su Xiao wanted to invite Lin Yi to go with him, but Lin Yi refused.

The ruins of the destruction of law are ruins exclusive to Su Xiao. Su Xiao will definitely gain something if he goes there, but Lin Yi may not necessarily gain anything if he goes there.

"Hey? What are you going to do?" asked the seventh prince curiously.

"I'm going to go outside the Wall of God. It is said that there are ruins of the destruction of Buddhism there. I have to go and take a look." Su Xiao did not try to be mysterious, but told the Seventh Prince his plan without reservation.

The seventh prince and the old king are two completely different people. The old king's head is full of conspiracies and intrigues, and he likes to beat around the bush when he speaks.

If you don't use caution when dealing with such people, you might get cheated without even knowing what happened.

But the Seventh Prince is different. His own strength is strong enough and he simply disdains to use those crooked tricks.

He prefers to be straightforward and frank, and likes to make everything clear.

Although sometimes you may wonder if this person has some mental problems, in most cases, this kind of person's friendliness will make people around him unconsciously attracted and slowly stand by his side.

With the Seventh Prince's ability and lifespan, perhaps in a few hundred years, he will become another Shia Emperor.

"Oh, I really hope you can continue to be my iron hand. I have to say, the position set up by the old man is really useful. I will definitely set up such a position in the future." A look of disappointment emerged on the face of the seventh prince, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

He then asked, "Do you need me to help you with anything on this trip?"

Su Xiao waved his hand and said, "No need. The area outside the God's Wall is not your sphere of influence. If I go alone, I will be less of a target."

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "Okay, I won't take back the Golden Lion Mark that the old man gave you. If you need help later, go find Heslet. The old guy should still be fighting those stinky undead guys at the Wall of God."

"Ah."

Before leaving, the Seventh Prince gave Su Xiao a map outside the Wall of God. This map was not a treasure of the kingdom, but was drawn by the Seventh Prince himself based on his own memory and understanding.

Because of this, the map looks a little difficult to recognize, but for Su Xiao, it has helped him a lot.

Having a map and not having a map are two completely different things. After leaving the Wall of God, the map of the Seventh Prince will definitely play a huge role.

Afterwards, Lin Yi also said goodbye to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince said reluctantly: "My cousin, your Seventh Brother is in need of help right now, why are you leaving too?"

The Seventh Prince was reluctant to let go of Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart.

There are not many people he can talk to sincerely now. The Fourth Princess counts as half, and Lin Yi counts as one.

After Lin Yi left, the Seventh Prince felt that he would never be able to find someone he could talk to from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "Hey, I just want to go out for a walk. When the old man was alive, I never had time to go out. Now that I finally have some free time, I definitely want to go out and walk around. By the way, where is the old man's grave? I want to go and pay my respects before I leave."

The Seventh Prince replied, "It's still in the old place, the Royal Cemetery. You should be able to see it when you get there."

As he spoke, the Seventh Prince handed Lin Yi a card. With this thing, Lin Yi could directly call on the local army no matter where he was in the Kingdom of Saint Sodin.

From this point, it can be seen that the Seventh Prince really regards Lin Yi as his own.

After Lin Yi left the Kingdom Council Hall, he came to the Royal Cemetery.

This place is in sharp contrast to the bustling and lively capital and seems exceptionally quiet.

After all, this is the resting place of kings of all dynasties, so naturally no one would break in at will.

In the entire cemetery, apart from Lin Yi, there were only royal guards patrolling around.

Bayherbert's tomb was not difficult to find. Lin Yi did not spend much effort to find the newly built grave. This was the burial place of the old king.

Looking at the offerings placed in front of the tomb, Lin Yi smiled and said softly: "Now, you can finally have a good sleep."
