Chapter 1218

~9 min read 1,728 words

Su Xiao carried the teary-eyed Alisa Herbert downstairs. Alisa Herbert originally didn't cooperate, but when the Slaughter Dagger was placed on her neck, Su Xiao's Charisma attribute "soared" directly from 9 points to "90 points," and she surrendered without any integrity.

Su Xiao took the opportunity to check Alisa Herbert's attributes. Except for the relatively prominent Charisma attribute, other attributes could only be described as eye-stinging.

Name: Alisa Herbert

Category: Human (Royal Family)

HP: 94% (Skin slightly scratched by Slaughter)

Mana: 60 points

Strength: 4

Agility: 6

Stamina: 15

Intelligence: 6

Charisma: 38

Skill 1, Royal Bloodline (Passive Lv. 10), Stamina +10, Charisma +10, elegant demeanor.

Skill 2, Call for Help (Active Lv. 12), scream for help. If Alisa Herbert is in the royal capital, there is a 70% chance of attracting the royal capital's security army and a 100% chance of attracting the guardian knight Goss.

Skill 3, Erudite (Passive Lv. 29), Alisa Herbert is proficient in multiple languages and self-taught botany through books.

In terms of combat power, Alisa Herbert was weak to the point of being eye-stinging. Su Xiao could kill her with a casual wave of his hand.

Alisa Herbert's combat power was indeed not strong, but her guardian knight Goss possessed not-weak combat power and could serve as cannon fodder under the throne.

Su Xiao only needed Alisa Herbert to open the mechanism under the throne; he didn't need Alisa Herbert to have any combat power at all. As for her personality, as long as she wasn't a scheming bitch, it was fine.

Compared to other princes or princesses, Alisa Herbert was undoubtedly the best choice. She had not-weak combat power (Goss) and possessed no ability herself. If such a princess entered under the throne with Su Xiao, whether she was molded round or flat would be entirely up to Su Xiao's whim.

Su Xiao sat in the living room, and Alisa Herbert on the side had bandages wrapped around her neck. The Slaughter Dagger was a weapon Su Xiao used to kill enemies. His enemies were all monster-level, so just a touch of the blade scratched Alisa Herbert's skin.

Goss was furious at this, but he had no way to do anything. Whether it was the old King or the new King, they both allowed Su Xiao to temporarily requisition Alisa Herbert.

Requisitioning was different from assisting. Requisitioning meant that even if Alisa Herbert died, the royal family wouldn't hold Su Xiao responsible. As for rubbing Alisa on the ground, the Third Prince would only comment lightly afterward: "I didn't expect Iron Hand to have such elegant interests."

That's right, this was Alisa Herbert's current situation.

"How could His Majesty agree to such an absurd thing."

Goss was now angry but didn't dare to speak. Even if he complained, he could only complain in a low voice.

This master and servant were somewhat deaf to things outside the window. Now that there were undercurrents in the royal capital, who would care about the life or death of an arrogant holy warrior and a useless princess?

"The matter is basically like this. Go deep under the throne with me. By the way, I'll tell you, you have no right to refuse."

Su Xiao stood up. He still didn't know the situation under the throne, so he had to hurry.

"T-then, I'll prepare."

Alisa Herbert also understood the current situation. She had two choices: one was to go deep under the throne with Su Xiao, in which case she had a high chance of surviving. Su Xiao still needed to come out from under the throne, so he needed her to open the mechanism for returning. As for refusing, the result was obvious.

"No time for you to prepare. Move now."

"So... direct."

The "prepare" in Alisa Herbert's mouth wasn't about bringing luggage or anything, but wanting to bring a few books she treasured. This princess was not only useless but also a bookworm.

Don't think she was thirsty for knowledge; she was just too bored, and she was very afraid of going out, so she could only stay at home reading books to pass the boring time.

Su Xiao walked out of the room. Alisa Herbert hesitated for a moment and could only choose to follow with small steps. Goss followed closely behind, his gaze toward Su Xiao full of hostility.

The first thing Su Xiao did when entering under the throne was to maximize the cannon fodder value of Goss. If this guy could live for one day, it would be a mistake in Su Xiao's plan.

What he needed was cannon fodder, not a guardian knight who might stir up trouble at any time. A knight guarding a princess seemed beautiful, but had the knight ever thought that he was guarding someone else's wife?

The team was assembled. It had to be said that the team members were all a bit peculiar.

Su Xiao, who was full of blood, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who acted stupid intermittently, Amu, who was so hungry its eyes were rolling, the arrogant holy warrior, and the last princess was... a pendant. Her role in the team, besides opening the mechanism under the throne, was just to be beautiful.

About forty minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the palace. At this moment, the palace was guarded by a large number of imperial guards. These imperial guards looked like eagles, and when they saw Su Xiao, they all tensed their bodies.

"Lord Iron Hand, I don't know what business you have entering the palace?"

An imperial guard leader stepped forward, his attitude still polite.

"Council Hall."

"I'll lead the way."

This imperial guard leader had long received the Third Prince's order. Now Su Xiao clearly couldn't enter and leave the palace freely, but if he wanted to enter the Kingdom Council Hall, the Third Prince wouldn't stop him. Stopping Su Xiao from entering the Council Hall was equivalent to tearing his face off with Su Xiao.

Su Xiao and his party entered the Council Hall very smoothly. Goss at the back of the team felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more wrong.

Just as Su Xiao and his party entered the Council Hall, the Third Prince also brought people to catch up. He was entirely out of curiosity about under the throne.

"Iron Hand, don't mind me. I'm just here to assist."

The Third Prince smiled. He now held great power, so he restrained some of the iron-bloodedness and ruthlessness in his personality. What he needed most now was to win people's hearts.

Su Xiao came to the metal throne. Regarding how to open the throne, the old King only left one sentence, which should be some kind of mechanism.

Su Xiao stood in front of the throne. He took off his coat, threw it to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, and then placed both hands on the throne.

Su Xiao took a deep breath, exerted force in his hands, and began to push the side of the throne hard.

With a crack, the rubble under the throne collapsed, and a large area of the ground under Su Xiao's feet cracked.

Crack! Crack!

Su Xiao's real Strength attribute was 89 points under the blessing of the Hunter King. What kind of terrifying monster strength was this? At this moment, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and the ground within a dozen meters under his feet cracked.

Boom, the entire Council Hall shook. The Third Prince on the side watched with his eyes twitching. He had previously tried to let the imperial guards dismantle the throne, but unfortunately failed. The throne was almost fixed together with the entire Council Hall.

Dust fell from the ceiling. Su Xiao had half of his body pressed against the throne. He didn't intend to use the mechanism to open the throne at all; the hidden danger of doing so was too great.

Creak, creak...

The throne began to tilt, and a difficult metal twisting sound came. When the throne tilted to about 30 degrees, Su Xiao withdrew his force.

"Iron Hand, although I don't care about the throne, this thing isn't opened by brute force. Hey, what are you..."

The Third Prince waved his hand, signaling the surrounding imperial guards to retreat. Before they retreated, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu had already retreated.

Su Xiao drew the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist. He pushed the throne earlier just to determine the structure of this thing. Although the top of the throne was chair-shaped, its overall shape was similar to an iron pillar, and more than 90% of it was buried underneath.

Su Xiao, holding the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, stood in front of the throne. After brewing for a moment, he slashed forward with his long sword.

Clang.

A silver chain of light appeared. The long sword in Su Xiao's hand slowly returned to its sheath, and he took the opportunity to kick the throne.

With a boom, the throne was kicked away, and a pitch-black hole appeared. This hole was three meters wide and looked very much like a vertical shaft, and the shaft wall was completely metal-structured.

The bottom of the hole was pitch black, and a whimpering wind came from below. Su Xiao kicked a piece of rubble down. After a full dozen seconds, he vaguely heard the crisp sound of the rubble hitting metal.

"Let's go."

Su Xiao jumped into the hole. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed closely behind, while Amu grabbed Alisa Herbert and jumped into the hole amidst Alisa Herbert's screams.

Goss stood in front of the vertical downward hole. He felt the thick malice from below, which made his face look very ugly. He didn't understand, didn't understand why Su Xiao and others could jump into such a dangerous place without changing their expressions.

Alisa Herbert had already entered the hole. Now it was time to test whether Goss was loyal, but he hesitated.

Goss didn't know that this level of danger was just daily life for Su Xiao. As for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, don't mention a pitch-black hole, even if it were a volcanic crater, as long as Su Xiao jumped, they would immediately follow closely behind.

Goss gritted his teeth and jumped into the hole.
