Chapter 2520: Talin

The next morning, the sun rose. It was a sunny morning, which seemed to dispel some of the haze.

Liu curled up by the campfire. As a 'teenager,' she didn't need to consider whether her posture was elegant, but the feeling that she had boarded a pirate ship grew stronger. Fortunately, she had a simpleton guard.

"In other words, you are a royal of the Talin Kingdom, taken away by Qingzhang when you were a few years old, and grew up in Bamboo Village?"

"Yes."

Liu spoke listlessly. Not far away, Qifu was chopping wood to make a back basket, sparing Liu from the hardship of the journey.

"Your real father is about to die of old age?"

"I don't know. When I was old enough to understand, he was already over seventy."

"Ya-ha, another tough guy who is old but still strong."

Baja said something cheeky. Liu, who was only 17 and grew up in a simple place like Bamboo Village, knowing little about this, turned her head and gave a light laugh, pretending she understood everything.

"If you return to Talin, will it involve a struggle for the throne?"

Su Xiao didn't know the situation of the Talin Kingdom yet. His main purpose in going to Talin was to find the Water of Origin.

"If the struggle for the throne begins, I'm dead for sure."

Liu's tone was certain, as if this was an inevitable result.

"It's fine, we have experience with this kind of thing."

"Bird, you're saying strange things again."

"Let's not talk about useless things first. Tell us, how many brothers and sisters do you have? We'll plan an assassination. If there are too many, we'll have to split up."

Hearing Baja's words, initially, Liu took it as a joke, but after making eye contact with Baja, she found that the other party didn't seem to be joking, but was serious.

"You, you guys..."

Liu couldn't speak. Qifu nearby was full of vigilance because right next to him, a group of people was discussing how to assassinate the Talin royal family.

"It's useless. As long as the struggle for the throne begins, I will definitely die. Talin's tradition is that no matter how many heirs to the throne there are, only when they die until only one remains can they inherit the crown and the throne from the old king."

Liu spoke of the cruel tradition of the Talin Kingdom. No matter how many princes and princesses there were, only when they died until only one remained could they inherit the crown and the throne. Listening to Liu, the crown seemed to be higher than the throne, which made people very puzzled.

"This tradition is truly unique. Won't your family go extinct?"

"It won't. It has never gone extinct. When I heard about this from Grandpa... the chief, I also thought, won't the Edri royal family go extinct? It's too absurd. But the result is that the Edri royal family hasn't gone extinct to this day. I am still one of them. My other name is Edri Beifu. It's hard to hear, so call me Liu."

Liu's eyes were full of disgust for the Talin Kingdom and the Edri royal family—disgust that she didn't hide, not even willing to use her former name, preferring the name the chief gave her: Liu.

"Edri Beifu, that name is quite feminine."

"Do I look like a woman?"

Liu was 'shocked.' She was currently sitting in front of the campfire with her legs spread, holding a charred wooden stick with half a grilled fish on it.

"No, I was just possessed by a sand-sculpture just now. Don't mind it."

Baja's cheeky words sometimes had a positive effect. Liu wasn't as full of sadness as before.

Hearing the way the Edri royal family inherited the throne, Su Xiao thought of a possibility: besides the throne, the Edri royal family also inherited other things. Even, compared to the throne, another thing passed down from generation to generation was more important. To inherit that thing, one couldn't be lacking in courage and boldness, which was likely also the reason why the Edri royal family was so cruel.

From the risk of death before birth, such people, once they grew up and slaughtered all other competitors, there would be nothing they couldn't accept.

The royal power likely wasn't important at all; it was enough to stabilize the country. The history of this world had already proven that in critical moments, powerhouses were reliable. For example, when dealing with ancient Gods, ordinary soldiers couldn't enter the area where the ancient Gods were, and even if they did, they would be wiped out in a short time.

Thinking through these, Su Xiao already knew what to do. He didn't even plan to meet other princes or princesses, or the old king. Except for the king, he would just kill them one by one. These were all large amounts of World Source gains.

After the World Source gain reached 100%, it could be converted into a World Seed, but there would be no settlement rewards after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao had seen what a World Seed was in the Light and Dark World. The value of that thing was very high, but it wasn't suitable for him to use. That was something a race needed, and the help to a single person was very limited.

If the World Source gain exceeded 150%, he would obtain a World-level treasure chest, and he could obtain a comprehensive settlement after returning to the Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao felt that if he could kill all six heirs to the throne and find the Origin God Village, the World Source gain would likely reach 150%.

"Qifu, are there any other ways to use the transmission tower besides the royal status?"

"Of course there are."

Qifu, whose mouth was stuffed with food, spoke. This guy ate very much, second only to Amu.

"Speak."

"If you have a large chamber of commerce certified by the Kingdom, you can get a quota."

"..."

Su Xiao ignored Qifu's words. Rather than that, it was better to use the royal status to use the transmission tower.

After a full meal, the group headed toward the city center. The transmission tower was underground in the city center, and there were people guarding it 24 hours a day.

After passing through a dozen blocks, Su Xiao arrived at the city center. Among numerous three or four-story stone buildings, a low, small stone building was particularly conspicuous. Moss grew on the blackened outer walls.

Standing in front of this small stone building were two people wearing black robes and wearing bloated hoods. The hoods on their heads looked like a black pumpkin that had been hollowed out and placed on their heads, looking funny in their clumsiness.

Seeing these two, Qifu showed vigilance. With his reckless personality, there were very few people who could make him vigilant.

"Who are these pumpkin people?"

"Shh!"

Qifu hurriedly stopped Baja, telling it not to continue. Seeing Qifu's expression, Baja narrowed its eyes. People who could make this reckless simpleton vigilant—no, somewhat afraid—would definitely not be simple.

"Those are Tower Guards. Don't provoke them. If Lord Liu can get their support, she might be able to seize the throne, but the Tower Guards won't support anyone. They are only loyal to the king who wears the crown."

Under Qifu's guidance, several people walked toward the somewhat dilapidated small building.

"Two..."

Qifu just opened his mouth, and something that he couldn't imagine happened. The two Tower Guards in front of him suddenly knelt on one knee, holding their hands high, as if to embrace the sky.

"Respected Tianba, we offer our highest respect."

Looking at the two Tower Guards kneeling on one knee, arms held high as if to embrace the sky, Qifu's brain short-circuited. After calming down for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"We want to use the transmission tower."

"As you wish, owner of the Dragon Heart."
