~11 min read 2,008 words

"Wu Fu, reward every soldier who participated in this battle with 500 Black Stones, 30 Black Stones for those on standby, 2,000 Black Stones for the wounded, 10,000 Black Stones for the dead, and their families will enjoy the treatment of a thousand-man commander."

The Black Stones Su Xiao mentioned were the highest denomination currency in the Black King World.

"Obey orders."

Wu Fu answered very crisply, but he felt very guilty in his heart. This was a huge expense, but the God of Wealth of the Empire was on their side, so this was not a problem.

Wu Fu gave an order, and the surrounding soldiers retreated quickly, leaving only the personal guards.

Su Xiao stood up from the seat and walked slowly to Di Ya.

"Not, not bad, actually using, the way, I, consistently, use, to deal with me."

Di Ya was not dead. Her ability was quite special, so the gains from each world were very high. One might ask, after enjoying this kind of treatment, how could she be willing to fight like a Some Qiyuezhe.

Just when Di Ya thought Su Xiao was going to mock her, or say something like "Farewell," Su Xiao had already pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed down. When he could kill the enemy, he never talked nonsense.

Score: Special item, no score

Introduction: Run away in despair, and then... obediently die at my feet.

Price: Cannot be sold

A smile gradually appeared on Su Xiao's face. He was exhausted after entering this world. This rule-breaker was as slippery as a loach. If he hadn't taken the initiative and quickly killed two power-seizers, he didn't know how troublesome things would have become.

The rule-breaker had just died, and not far away, the Daikou King's body gradually became transparent. Her mission was completed.

"Paradise Arena, dare to come?"

The Daikou King suddenly spoke.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the Daikou King in confusion.

"You used my best friend Pedera. I am no longer the king, but I am her guardian knight. Her soul is crying to me."

"..."

Su Xiao stopped paying attention to the Daikou King. Clearly, their concepts were seriously inconsistent. Not having a life-and-death struggle was entirely because Arbitrators and Hunters could not conflict.

"You coward villain..."

Before the Daikou King could finish her words, she suddenly disappeared, and the provocation only used half of it.

"Sure enough, a cruel environment cannot completely change a person's beliefs."

Su Xiao didn't care whether the Daikou King would find trouble with him. If nothing unexpected happened, his intersection with the other party wouldn't be much, at most meeting in some war world.

In a starry sky, the Daikou King suddenly appeared. She subconsciously looked around, her gaze suddenly stunned.

"Little cutie, your performance makes me not very satisfied. Guardian knight? You actually thought of that."

The toad had appeared beside the Daikou King at some point.

"So, you need to be rebuilt."

The toad smiled, smiling very "kindly." Looking at this scene, the Daikou King subconsciously retreated two steps.

"Can... not go?"

The Daikou King clearly already had a shadow of the Black Abyss.

"What do you guess?"

The toad gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. God knows where it would throw the Daikou King this time.

After solving the rule-breaker, Su Xiao could be said to be completely relaxed. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay directly on the ground, starting to bathe in the sun.

The most troublesome problem had been solved. Su Xiao wanted to focus his energy on the Black King suit. It was very difficult to obtain this suit.

Su Xiao had already obtained one piece, and after completing the second ring mission with the World Core, he could obtain the second piece. As for the last piece, the previous prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise had already indicated that to obtain the third piece, one could either rely on luck to acquire it in the Reincarnation Paradise's trading market, or enter the Dead Silence City.

Su Xiao knew a little about the situation in the Dead Silence City. That was a Sixth Tier area where experts were as common as dogs. If he entered there, it was uncertain whether he could come out alive.

After wandering in the Reincarnation Paradise for so long, Su Xiao summarized a truth: either wait for death on the spot, or move forward bravely and become stronger continuously.

Of course, even if Su Xiao wanted to enter the Dead Silence City, he had to make sufficient preparations. And what he had to do now was to solve the problem of the struggle for royal power and let the new king appear.

According to the Old Shaman, if the new king hadn't appeared within a dozen days, the Dead Silence City would quickly assimilate this continent, and the new king was the one who could suppress the Dead Silence City.

If Su Xiao wanted to enter the Dead Silence City, he would definitely create a new king. Candidate Pedera died in an accident, and Su Xiao himself was not prepared to sit on the throne, which was not a wise decision.

However, before doing these things, Su Xiao wanted to maximize the benefits with the power in his hands. Of course, this had to have a degree. How the rule-breaker died was still fresh in his memory.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and the reconstruction work was handed over to an imperial official. Su Xiao returned to the Right Imperial Manor, sent Zos and Wu Fu to collect certain things, while Su Xiao himself didn't take a step out of the Right Imperial Manor.

Time passed quickly in Su Xiao's study of sword techniques. In the blink of an eye, eight days passed.

In the room on the second floor of the castle, Su Xiao put down the test tube in his hand. In these few days, besides studying sword techniques, he was preparing potions.

Su Xiao prepared a total of 69 bottles of 【Active Force】 potions. He had ownership of these potions, but because the Black King World belonged to a native world, if he wanted to bring these potions into the Reincarnation Paradise, he needed to notarize them.

If the quality of these 【Active Force】 potions was good, Su Xiao would definitely be willing to pay this notarization fee. Unfortunately, the Black King World didn't have professional preparation facilities, and the materials were barely substitutes, leading to a significant reduction in the effect of the finished potions.

Su Xiao had long expected this. He had encountered this situation in the Pirate World, which was a derived world belonging to the Reincarnation Paradise. However, what he wanted was the proficiency of the Plant Harmonization Chapter, which was almost equal to Paradise Coins.

【Plant Harmonization Chapter: lv. 25 (Proficiency: 2497/250)】

This was Su Xiao's gain. Besides that, his vision for sword techniques had also expanded significantly.

The time limit for the second ring of the main mission was still very abundant, but the Old Shaman had become more muttering in the past few days. In his words, the Dead Silence City was already very close.

Su Xiao sealed the prepared potions and left the manor with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu.

At 9:00 AM that day, Imperial Council Hall.

Originally, there were five people sitting opposite each other here, but now only two remained: Su Xiao and Princess Sayeto.

Sayeto might not have slept well recently, and obvious dark circles could already be seen.

"You have no other opponents. Are you preparing to declare war on me?"

Sayeto had changed from her usual violent temper. With silver hair and red pupils, she was actually very beautiful, but she took the tomboy route. It was said that after she personally killed a suitor when she was eighteen, no one dared to pursue her again, and she was secretly nicknamed Saint Sayeto.

"The new king will be crowned by you."

"Wh, what?"

The tomboy Sayeto suddenly stuttered. She felt she might have heard wrong.

"Continue fighting, and the Dead Silence City will assimilate the entire continent. From the beginning, I have had no interest in the throne. The Pedera I cultivated died in an accident. You are not bad, so the new king will be you."

Su Xiao's tone was flat, as if he were saying as casually as having seafood for dinner.

"You..."

Sayeto felt it was a conspiracy at the first moment. This was clearly caused by Su Xiao's persecution delusion.

"From the very beginning, I had no interest in the throne. Returning to the Holy City was only because the Dead Silence City was becoming more and more active. This is the responsibility after wearing it." After Su Xiao raised his left arm, he continued:

"Power is just a means. You have disappointed me somewhat. However, compared to the three of Silver Feather, Bloom, and the Little Duke, you are still excellent, so you are the new king."

"What a joke!"

With a bang, Sayeto's fist hammered on the council table. She felt shame, shame from the bottom of her heart. The thing she had pursued all her life was casually thrown over by someone, telling her, this thing is yours, be careful, don't break it.

"Why, you have no interest? Then forget it. Among the legitimate successors, the Little Duke is also a good choice."

Su Xiao made a move to get up and leave.

"Wait."

After Sayeto calmed her breathing, she began to look Su Xiao up and down, as if she had only known Su Xiao today.

"You and our struggle for power... really for the sake of this continent not being assimilated by the Dead Silence City?"

Sayeto stared at Su Xiao's eyes when she spoke.

"Have you seen anyone seizing power like me? The remnants of Silver Feather and Bloom have been staring at me. Those two are too much of an eyesore. By the way, tell you one thing, in less than a week, the Dead Silence City will begin to assimilate this continent."

"..."

Sayeto was silent. She felt even more ashamed, because compared to her struggle for power out of selfishness, Su Xiao was clearly considering the entire human race.

"Will you... support me?"

"Of course, finance and military power are all in my hands. I support you to become the new king, and no one dares to oppose."

"Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you after I become the new king?"

"..."

Su Xiao got up and left.

"Wait, I agree."

Sayeto hurried to stand up, however, she didn't know what she would have to pay to become the new king. Only the Old Shaman knew about this. Even, he knew what it felt like to become a resident of the Dead Silence City. He had said this himself.

Su Xiao didn't worry at all that Sayeto would retaliate after becoming the new king, because after becoming the new king, Sayeto would no longer be the Sayeto in front of him. ===== CHAPTER 1864 =====
