Chapter 2533
Su Xiao touched the Ancient Mask on his face. He could feel the wooden texture of the mask, but after entering a complete disguise, the mask would completely disguise itself as the old King's skin.
Su Xiao didn't think anyone would dare to touch the old King's face. Right now, this level of disguise was enough. After entering the 100% disguise state, the disguise could only last for 7 hours, while if it was 90% disguise, it could last for a full 16 hours, provided that he didn't have physical contact with outsiders.
Soon, the movement outside the bedroom subsided. Someone had come to assassinate the King, but ended up causing an explosion and then fled.
After leaving the bedroom, Su Xiao walked at a not-fast pace and soon arrived at the Royal Hall. The first thing he did was summon Ted.
Inside the Royal Hall, Ted knelt on the ground, his shoulders pressed by two powerful large hands.
"No need to execute him in the afternoon."
"Yes."
After the Tower Keepers took Ted away, Su Xiao also left the Royal Hall, rested in a bedroom, and began to wait. He had to show up as little as possible.
Waiting until night, the bedroom door was knocked.
"Come in."
The words had just fallen when a Tower Keeper walked into the room. After closing the door, this Tower Keeper closed his eyes to perceive for a moment before taking a note from his bosom.
"King, Lord Walsh seeks your assistance."
The Tower Keeper kneeling on one knee handed over the note. Clearly, this was a traitor among the Tower Keepers. Tower Keepers were neutral and wouldn't help any side in the Royal Blood War.
People would make mistakes, and Tower Keepers were no exception. The First Prince, Walsh, colluded with one or several Tower Keepers. Su Xiao had already guessed this before.
According to Ted, it was the First Prince who had tampered with the teleportation tower in the Royal Capital before Liu arrived, which led to Amu being teleported away and ambushed by unknown enemies.
Without a Tower Keeper acting as an inside agent, the First Prince couldn't do this. Moreover, the ambush plan had just failed, and the man with space abilities was silenced. It was too fast. If it wasn't done by a Tower Keeper, who would believe it?
Su Xiao took the note handed over by the Tower Keeper. It was written on it.
'Father, Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye have joined forces. Son is in danger. Requesting your assistance again.'
The corners of Su Xiao's eyes under the mask twitched slightly. This feeling was a bit strange; the enemy was asking him for help.
"Go and tell Walsh that Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye have been secretly executed by me."
While speaking, Su Xiao took out a cylindrical glass bottle from his bosom. The glass bottle was somewhat yellowish, and inside was viscous Royal Blood.
"Hand these to Walsh. If he can't eliminate the spider before tomorrow morning, he doesn't need to come to see me, and he doesn't have the qualification to become King."
Su Xiao handed the glass bottle in his hand to the Tower Keeper kneeling on one knee. This was about 5/12 of the Royal Blood.
Ted had about 2/12 of the Royal Blood. The Royal Blood of the Third Prince and the Fourth Princess eliminated by Su Xiao added up to 3/12. The two added up to 5/12.
The amount of Royal Blood Su Xiao took out now was exactly the amount of Ted's Royal Blood + the Royal Blood Su Xiao was known to have obtained by outsiders. Details determine success or failure.
"Yes!"
The Tower Keeper traitor lowered his head and solemnly took the Royal Blood from Su Xiao's hand. As long as the First Prince won, this Tower Keeper could enjoy treatment that other Tower Keepers couldn't imagine in his limited life.
After the Tower Keeper traitor retreated, Su Xiao frowned and thought. There was one thing he couldn't solve, which was whether the three Tower Keepers who were holding Ted would keep their mouths shut.
Traitors among the Tower Keepers were rare, and the probability of there being a traitor among those three was very, very low. Moreover, all three of them were on the verge of losing control. Without an extremely strong sense of responsibility, they couldn't have persisted until now.
Overall, in fact, most Tower Keepers were trustworthy. Without them, there would be no current glory of the Tallin Kingdom. One couldn't ignore the loyalty and mission that thousands of Tower Keepers had persisted in for hundreds of years because of one or two black sheep.
Royal Capital, inside the back room of a civilian tavern.
The First Prince, Walsh, sat cross-legged in the darkness, holding a sculpture in his hand. This was his final means. What he didn't want to admit was that he had been forced into a desperate situation. The combination of Kuku Lin · Bai Ye and Ted was simply fouling. As for the breakup of the two, the First Prince didn't completely believe it, although there was indeed a possibility of the two breaking up.
One had survived in the slums since he was 7 years old, avoiding assassination after assassination while developing his power.
The other had arrived in the Royal Capital for only one day and had arranged the First Prince's strong rivals, the Third Prince and the Fourth Princess. That nearly crazy means truly shocked the First Prince.
The combination of these two people made the First Prince's ally, Lady Spider, a bit desperate. She simply couldn't see the hope of winning.
"Sigh~"
The First Prince, Walsh, sighed. He would never do this in front of outsiders, but if he still kept this face in private, he felt that he would have problems sooner or later.
*Thud, thud-thud. *
Rhythmic knocking came. The First Prince, Walsh, sat upright, his expression becoming serious.
"My lord."
A figure walked out of the darkness and bowed slightly to Walsh.
"How did the matter go?"
"Not very smoothly."
"Is that so? It's hard for you. I will find a way. Don't let yourself be exposed because of impatience."
Walsh was still calm, as if everything was under his control.
"Walsh..."
The Tower Keeper traitor spoke. He came to Walsh and suddenly punched Walsh's shoulder. Walsh was stunned for a moment. This friend of his had always been very serious, and the two had been best friends since they were a few years old.
"We succeeded. The King's help is something you and I can't imagine."
The Tower Keeper traitor took out a glass bottle from his bosom and pressed it into Walsh's bosom.
"This is!"
Walsh could no longer be calm.
"This is the Royal Blood of Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye. That bastard Kuku Lin has already merged with the Royal Blood. He wants to become the new King. An outsider actually dares to come and snatch the Royal Blood. Seeking death."
"This is... the Royal Blood of Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye?"
Walsh had some difficulty controlling his slightly trembling hands. He grabbed the glass bottle in front of his chest and immediately felt the Royal Blood inside.
Walsh looked at the amount of Royal Blood and estimated the Royal Blood possessed by Su Xiao and Ted. Soon, a smile that couldn't be hidden appeared on his face.
"In other words..."
Walsh looked at the Tower Keeper traitor.
"That's right. We win after eliminating Lady Spider. You and that woman are allies. She doesn't know yet that Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye are dead. There is no better opportunity than now."
The Tower Keeper traitor also couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Are you sure Ted and Kuku Lin · Bai Ye are both dead?"
"I didn't see Kuku Lin · Bai Ye's corpse, but I saw Ted's corpse. I can be sure that the corpse is Ted. The aura remaining on the corpse matches perfectly, and the appearance is also."
"Haha, hahahaha!"
Walsh couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and laughed wildly. A moment later, he exhaled slowly.
"Lost my composure. I'll go see Lady Spider now."
Walsh stood up from the darkness. He knew that from this moment on, he would no longer belong to the darkness, no longer hiding like a gopher, but would become the King of Tallin, the King sitting on the throne, looking down at everything.
There is a saying that when a person is most proud, it is also when he is most relaxed. Relaxed, he will be doomed.
