Chapter 1241
A large group of Imperial Guards rushed into the Kingdom Council Hall, blocking around the Third Prince, while dozens of officials retreated to the edge.
After the throne was blown away, a pitch-black shaft appeared below, cold air overflowing, and an ice-blue war hammer protruded from the wellhead.
Seeing this scene, Joe · Valentine subconsciously felt something was wrong. Coincidentally, the throne that was blown away landed near him.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Joe · Valentine bumped his head against the throne. He bumped his head until it was bleeding. Although he was grinning in pain, he rolled his eyes and 'fainted' directly.
Joe · Valentine was a smart man. He knew clearly that some secrets must never be known, such as the thing under the throne, so he 'accidentally fainted'.
The Third Prince's peripheral vision saw this scene. He turned his gaze to those officials. The leader of the Imperial Guards immediately understood and took more than a dozen Imperial Guards to 'escort' the officials out of the council hall.
Amu was the first to climb out of the shaft, followed by Su Xiao carrying Alisa, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed closely behind.
The Third Prince's face was a bit ugly. According to the letter left by the old king, the Iron Hand should have died under the throne.
Things didn't develop according to the old king's expectations. Reed, who was highly valued by the old king, had now been sent to the Reincarnation Paradise as a blacksmith, and the Armor Spirit had died in a sea of fire.
"Iron Hand, it seems you succeeded. Congratulations."
The Third Prince rushed to greet them. The cooperative relationship between the two sides could still be maintained. The Third Prince hadn't fully mastered the royal power yet. Now he was just sitting on the throne, and there was still some distance from fully mastering the royal power.
"Just luck."
Su Xiao didn't plan to break with the Third Prince. For now, he still needed to cooperate with the opponent.
Ten minutes later, in the banquet hall, the Third Prince sat in the first seat, while Su Xiao just found a seat at random. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu were eating wildly on the side, especially Amu, whose appetite somewhat startled the Third Prince.
The Third Prince put down his tableware and asked casually: "What exactly is under the throne?"
"Necromancer."
Su Xiao stopped chewing the food in his mouth. He still had a transaction to discuss with the Third Prince.
The Third Prince nodded upon hearing this. After becoming the new king, he already had some understanding of what was under the throne. Asking like this was just making small talk to avoid embarrassment.
"I plan to go to the front-line battlefield."
Su Xiao let out a long breath. Although he hadn't stayed in the Xiya Sanctuary for long, he also had to seize the time. The stay time was not much left.
"Front line?"
The Third Prince looked at Su Xiao with great interest. He didn't expect Su Xiao to think of going to the front line. This was good news for him. First, Su Xiao's official position as Iron Hand had no effect on the front line. Second, Su Xiao's combat power was very strong and could play a significant role on the front line.
The Third Prince's first thought was that Su Xiao wanted to defect to him. The real power of the Iron Hand was the vote of confidence.
"But before rushing to the front-line battlefield, I need one thing."
"What?"
The Third Prince instinctively thought that Su Xiao wanted to take his life. This wasn't because the Third Prince had persecution delusions, but because of Su Xiao's previous actions, which really left a deep impression on the Third Prince.
"Crown."
"Huh?"
The Third Prince's face looked a bit ugly. The crown sometimes also represented royal power.
"I want that gemstone on your crown."
"..."
The Third Prince stared at Su Xiao. He couldn't guess what Su Xiao was thinking.
"That gemstone has no value to you. As a token of gratitude, I will no longer appear in the royal capital."
The reason Su Xiao wanted that gemstone on the iron crown was that there was a smaller gemstone inside that gemstone, which was the Law Stone.
"Let me consider it."
The Third Prince didn't agree immediately, although Su Xiao's proposal made him very tempted.
If Su Xiao rushed to the front line, the identity of Iron Hand would pose no threat to the Third Prince, or rather, the position of Iron Hand would be hollowed out.
A position like Iron Hand was necessary in any dynasty, but the person serving as Iron Hand must be deeply trusted by the king.
Su Xiao was the Iron Hand under the old king, and the old king died in his hands, which made the Third Prince somewhat repelled by Su Xiao. As for falling out with Su Xiao, the price was somewhat high, and the Third Prince didn't want to do that for the time being.
Su Xiao rushing to the front line was all good and no harm to the Third Prince. First, the threat of Iron Hand to the outside world was still there. Second, the real power of Iron Hand was no longer there. As long as the Third Prince fully mastered the throne, everything else would be easy to handle.
For the Third Prince, the throne and crown were not very important. What he valued was real power, not formal things.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Third Prince sent someone to bring the crown.
"The Iron Crown has been passed down for many years. You can take the gemstone, but don't damage the crown."
Although the Third Prince said so, he threw the crown to Su Xiao. In his view, this thing was iron and not easy to damage.
Su Xiao took the iron crown. A ruby was embedded in the crown. He easily pried off the gemstone and returned the crown to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince waved to his confidant behind him. In less than ten minutes, a gemstone of the same style as before would be embedded in the crown.
Su Xiao held the ruby between his fingers. With a crisp click, the ruby shattered, and a yellow gemstone the size of a small fingernail fell out.
【Hint: You have obtained the Law Stone.】
【Detected that the Hunter has obtained the Extinction Stone, Law Stone, and Shadow Stone. Do you want to synthesize 'Soul-Severing Shadow Stone (Incomplete)'? If you need to synthesize, you need to consume 50000 Paradise coins.】
Su Xiao of course wouldn't synthesize it. He would still need to use these three gemstones after entering the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction.
Having obtained the Law Stone, Su Xiao had no reason to stay in the royal palace, so he stood up.
"I advise you, don't let anyone enter under the throne again, or rather, don't open that place again, otherwise you will regret it."
The cooperation with the Third Prince was still quite pleasant, so Su Xiao provided the opponent with a 'friendly reminder'. The Xiya Sanctuary now was different from before, and something very terrifying was entrenched on the first floor.
Without waiting for the Third Prince to reply, Su Xiao walked out of the banquet hall. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu followed immediately. This time the destination was very clear: the front-line battlefield.
Su Xiao hadn't entered the battlefield for a while. Due to his talent ability, Su Xiao's survival ability on the battlefield was extremely strong. Coupled with his skilled blade technique, this led to him being like opening a 'musou' when he was on the battlefield.
Su Xiao had finished dealing with things in the royal capital. The naive princess continued to go back to stay at home. As a royal family member who had entered the Xiya Sanctuary, she was rarer than a giant panda, so the Third Prince sent more than a dozen Imperial Guards to protect her secretly.
Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu and rushed out of the royal capital. Before entering the Xiya Sanctuary, he had already obtained a map of the Saint-Sodin Kingdom.
If Su Xiao wanted to reach the front-line battlefield, he first had to enter the 'Yane Mountains', then pass through 'Tulaner City', then turn from 'Tulaner City' to the 'Kunji North Forest', then pass through the 'Tingsa Port Desert', and then pass through the 'Seme Wetlands' before reaching the God's Wall.
Inside the wall was human territory, outside the wall was the territory of the Necromancer race, and the ruins of the Shadow of Extinction were located in the territory of the Necromancer race.
