Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections

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

After a moment, the female princess suddenly shouted: "Is the situation so bad? Tell my father that if I need to go to the battlefield, I will not refuse."

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

These princes and princesses are completely different from those in the palace fighting drama.

They all know very well that compared with power, the continuation of the kingdom is the most important.

If there is no kingdom, they will be hunted down by the dead souls mercilessly, even if they escape to the ends of the earth.

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

What is surprising is that most people have surprisingly consistent attitudes.

They said that they can give up the power struggle, but they cannot be deprived of the territory under their rule.

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

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

As for the territory of the new prince, in the current critical situation, there is no time to consider so much. How to successfully survive the current disaster is the most critical thing.

About two hours later, the two "visited" a total of 26 princes or princesses.

Among these people, two of them were extremely ambitious, and at this time, someone was already dealing with their aftermath.

On the streets of the capital, Su Xiao and Lin Yi walked slowly and leisurely, each holding a fruit similar to a peach in their hands.

"Don't say it, this thing is really sweet. Do you think this thing can be planted in the real world?" Lin Yi took a bite of the fruit in his hand and felt that the fruit was crisp and fragrant, with an excellent taste, much better than the peach in reality.

"It's a bit difficult. Some people have tried to bring the seeds of the reincarnation paradise to reality through other means, but I don't know if it's due to the lack of some elements or other reasons. None of these seeds can germinate, and finally they can only give up." Su Xiao answered this question for Lin Yi.

Bubuwang had wanted to transplant a fruit tree from the world of food captives to the real world before. It was looking forward to tasting such delicious fruits in reality, but unfortunately it failed in the end.

"Forget it then."

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 was almost scared to pee.

After all, the princess has always been a person who likes to fish. In her imagination, Su Xiao came to her, maybe to have a go.

You know, the degree of chaos in the upper echelons of the kingdom is better known to no one than the royal family.

"Woof."

Bubuwang called out, which means: "Master, I want to eat meat."

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

Although this thing tastes good, for his physique, it can only slightly relieve hunger at most.

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

Bubu Wang sighed helplessly after hearing this, and hung his head, looking a little depressed.

"If it goes as expected, the old king will hold a banquet later."

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 reward, it meant that the old king had begun to doubt Su Xiao.

Once this happened, Su Xiao would definitely kill the old king and a large group of princes and princesses before his power was taken away.

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

"Old man, although you took the secret medicine, you can't do this. The secret medicine only makes your body recover. Normal people can't stand your work and rest like this." Lin Yi saw the old king who hadn't slept yet, and couldn't help sighing.

The old king took out a pottery bottle from his arms with trembling hands. He carefully poured some white powder from the pottery 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.

"Hu~" 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 trace of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work. I wanted to help you set up a banquet, but I can't seem to hold on for too long."

Hearing this, Lin Yi stepped forward and gently touched the old king's pulse.

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

"How much secret medicine have you taken in the past few days? Why is your body being eroded so quickly?" Lin Yi's face showed a trace of solemnity.

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

"There is 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 a chair, looking very weak and tired.

In the past two days, the old king has exhausted all his energy and efforts to suppress the upper class of the kingdom.

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

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

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

"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 mentioned was Archon Joe Valentine.

The old king turned his eyes and looked at the side hall of the council hall, and slowly said: "Valentin, come out."

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

Archon Joe Valentine walked into the council hall. This henpecked official looked tired and his eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he didn't rest much in the past two days.

"You and Iron Hand made the same choice." The old king nodded slightly, signaling Consul Joe Valentine to come forward.

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

"Cough cough cough..." The old king suddenly began to cough again and again, and the violent cough 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 hand.

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

"Originally, the medicine was used once every 5 days, but now it has to be used at least 30 times a day. When people get old, they are useless." The old king laughed dryly a few times, and the laughter was full of bitterness and self-mockery.

Joe Valentine lowered his head aside, not daring to smile.

He knew the old king's mood at the moment, and he also knew that he couldn't do anything inappropriate at this time.

"What about you, brat?" After asking Su Xiao's opinion, the old king turned his eyes to Lin Yi again.

"Seventh brother." Lin Yi answered without hesitation.

"Huh? I thought you would choose the third brother? Can you tell me why?" The old king showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He even sat up from the chair and looked at Lin Yi on the side with curiosity.

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

In Lin Yi's memory, the seventh prince often secretly took Lin Yi out to play when he was a child, which was also one of the few happy times of Lin Yi's predecessor.

After Lin Yi grew up, the seventh prince also secretly took him to the outside of the God's Wall.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi was caught by the old king in the end.

As for the seventh prince, it was miserable. He was beaten up by the old king.

Seven of the leather straps were broken. There was nothing he could do. The Seventh Prince's physical strength was too high. The old king was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly beat the Seventh Prince?

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

That color was filled with surprise, emotion, and a little relief.

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

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

Under normal circumstances, the lion sculptures representing the royal family all had their eyes open.

"Take this pendant to No. 555, Matoris Street, and those guys will help you then."

After saying this, the old king continued to lie on the chair, his tired body seemed to be overwhelmed.

The old king now looked like an old man who was about to die, and was telling his descendants about his last affairs.

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

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

The old king winked at Su Xiao, and the meaning in that look was very clear. As long as Joe Valentine's expression was slightly different, Su Xiao would kill Joe Valentine on the spot.

"Your Majesty... 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 that were originally full of blood instantly turned red, and tears flowed from the eye sockets like a flood.

The old king stared at Joe Valentine's eyes tightly. If Joe Valentine had done something wrong before, he would have asked Su Xiao to 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 tonight, Joe Valentine's eyes immediately turned red, and the grief was not disguised.

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

"Valentine, at my age, life and death are very normal."

The old king was not afraid of dying soon, but faced it calmly.

He had experienced the baptism of time and had long been indifferent to life and death.

His body was now suffering from torture that ordinary people could not imagine every moment. For the old king, under this situation, death was the best relief for him.

"Valentine, go and call the eldest prince."

"You brat, call Lao Qi over." The old king said to Lin Yi again.

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

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

"After I die, Lin Yi will be entrusted to you for the time being."

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

"Under the throne." The old king suddenly spoke, and as soon as he said this, it was like a thunder exploding in the meeting hall.

"You are under the Curious Throne." The old king looked directly at Su Xiao. That kind of look was definitely not what a dying person should look at.

"Both the high priest and Karen Garrett know that there are secrets under the throne, but they don't know what is specifically under the throne. They died in front of you. As expected, they will reveal some secrets before they die."

The old king patted the armrest of the throne. He leaned back on the throne and felt the uneven touch of the throne.

"Iron Hand, what are you looking for under the throne? There is nothing you desire there." The old king's voice echoed in the chamber, causing the place to fall into a dead silence.

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

He didn't know what was under the throne for the time being, but judging from the old king's tone, he didn't seem to be too resistant to what was under the throne.

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

"The key is on the first level. You really 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.

The identity of Su Xiao's Dharma-Destroying Shadow cannot be concealed at all. If the old king cannot discover this, then there is no need for him to continue squatting in this position.

This old guy looks like he is about to die, but in fact he is like a mirror in his heart, seeing everything clearly.

"It turns out that what you are pursuing is still power, so I feel relieved. Originally, I thought that what you were pursuing was that thing. If it's not that thing, that's fine. It's fine if it's not."

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 view, if Su Xiao entered under the throne, it would be impossible for him to 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 is not going to die soon. Before he dies, he will use the last resort to get rid of some people.

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

Under normal circumstances, the high priest should be handled by the guards, because the guards are dead soldiers and can keep many secrets.

With the old king's thoughtfulness, how could he not have imagined that the high priest would reveal the secrets under the throne before his death?

He had long thought that the news under the throne was actually revealed intentionally by the old king.

The struggle for power is so ruthless. Just now, Joe Valentine, who worked conscientiously for the old king, also accepted the temptation.

If Joe Valentine's expression had been slightly wrong at that time, he would never have been able to leave the chamber.

A generation of emperors and ministers, officials with great power like Su Xiao, Joe Valentine, and Heslett, can the new king really suppress them?

The old king made a series of tests, and Hexlet passed first.

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

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

Because most of what he did was invisible, including killing powerful officials, learning a lot of secrets of the royal family, dissuading a large number of princes and princesses, etc.

It's not that the old king doesn't want to find opportunities to test Su Xiao, but that he can't do this.

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

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

Once word spreads, the reputation of the royal family will plummet.

As for not getting rid of the Iron Hand, that's no joke.

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

They are so afraid of meeting each other, so how can they let Lidya Su work hard for them? It's simply impossible.

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

A little carelessness may lead to unpredictable consequences.

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

"There are at least 300 imperial 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 smile at all.

"They can't stop me."

"What if I don't allow it?"

"Then I will kill all the direct descendants of the royal family."

This time, Lidya Su finally stopped hiding her thoughts.

The old king was silent. Just now, he showed his fangs, preparing to test Su Xiao and even take extreme measures.

But what he didn't expect was that the Iron Hand, which had always obeyed his words, also showed its fangs.

This sudden situation made it impossible to use any of the words he had planned for a long time.

Regarding the Iron Hand, the most ideal method 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 are you?"

Things have developed to this point. If the old king still believes that Su Xiao is the original Iron Hand, he would have died under the frequent assassinations of the Undead.

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

"Oh?"

"Allow me to bring a prince or princess under the throne. As for the royal power, 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 misconduct of his.

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

The old king forced himself to calm down. The current situation was obviously beyond his control.

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

The old king was stunned, and then thought of something. At this moment, he smiled, and smiled with some relief.

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

Blood seeped in through the gap at the bottom of the metal door. At the door of the conference hall, there were more than a dozen bodies lying densely, all of which were the bodies of the guards.

Hundreds of guards with blood on their armor guarded around the conference hall to prevent anyone from entering the conference hall.

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

"Hahaha." The old king laughed loudly, he was very relieved now, very relieved.

"Martir, you have become my best heir." The old king was not angry, nor did he roar. On the contrary, he looked at the visitor with only relief.

The visitor was not the eldest prince who was expected by everyone, but the third prince, Martir Herbert, who had lost some power at the beginning of the power struggle, a third prince who was not very high-profile. (End of this chapter)
