Chapter 1217: Under the Throne
The fight for the throne has just begun, but the two strongest candidates have already dropped out of the fight.
Su Xiao stood motionless in the assembly hall and watched the remaining three princes and princesses.
The seventh prince had a helpless expression on his face, he really wanted to do something right now, but he was only good at two things: fighting strong enemies and flirting with noblewomen in the future... Well, many recognized him as the " prince with steel kidneys».
The Seventh Prince wanted to stand up like the other two princes and say that he would lead the army of Holy Warriors to the front lines, but after thinking about it, he eventually gave up on the idea. If he really gathered the Holy Warriors scattered in different battle zones, the king would start to suffer from insomnia due to the possible rebellion.
Not only would he help the kingdom overcome the crisis, but on the contrary, he would be doing it a disservice.
Among all the princes and princesses, the seventh Prince was the greatest threat to the king. Not to mention his own strength, his title 'Wings of the Realm' alone was enough for the vast majority of Holy Warriors to respond to his call.
The king didn't want to grant him this title, but after a certain incident, more than 70% of the Holy Warriors made such a request to the royal family. Then it was no longer a question, but his responsibility.
Fortunately, the seventh prince had a somewhat lazy and lustful nature. If he were to become a king, he would definitely marry a bunch of beautiful queens and form a huge harem that would even include Holy Female Warriors.
This was something that the seventh Prince had been dreaming about for a long time.
Such a seventh prince certainly wouldn't rebel. Leaning back in his chair, he looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.
It seemed like he was thinking about something important, but in reality, he was thinking about where he could pick up girls tonight.
But the seventh prince wasn't useless. While he was in the kingdom's capital, no one dared to break into it, of course, except for the huge undead army.
The second princess lowered her head and thought. Her goal was very simple. She wanted to take the throne. Even if the first, third, and seventh princes don't compete for the throne, the new king or queen won't be able to remove them from their current positions. Financial resources and military power will be under their control. As for the seventh prince, he could summon more than 50% of the kingdom's Holy Warriors in a matter of moments.
Trying to eliminate such a person was like committing suicide.
The second princess was smart, and she was good at both good and bad things. If someone other than her ascends to the throne, then she will definitely not be able to survive.
The sixth princess was in a similar situation. Her mad dog personality was too intimidating, but she herself wasn't nervous right now. Instead, she watched her competitors ' expressions with great interest.
The battle for the throne continued, but the situation became increasingly strange.
Giving up the throne of the first and third princes was good news for the other princes and princesses, but not good news for Su Xiao, as it would make the battle for the throne more chaotic.
Fortunately, for now, Su Xiao only had to find something that was related to the Shadows of the Law.
And Su Xiao had previously learned something about it from Elduo. The legacy of the Shadows of Law was located in the undead territory, and it wasn't a secret to the upper layer of the undead.
But even though it was in undead territory, she couldn't get her hands on it, because she needed a special key to enter the ruins.
The need for a key to enter the ruins did not mean that the legacy of the Shadows of the Law was locked, at least Elduo herself did not fully understand why the key was needed, but one thing was certain: this "key" was in the hands of the royal family.
Before Su Xiao arrived at the assembly hall, he had no idea what kind of key it was, but after throwing the originator of the genius plan towards the king, he realized what kind of key it was.

Through the description of the "Shadow Stone", Su Xiao gained a general understanding of the legacy of the Law Shadows. The legacy of the shadows consisted of ruins that were divided into three parts, and to enter these ruins, you had to have keys.
Right now, he had one of the three keys in his hands.
Apart from having one of the keys in his hands, Su Xiao had already obtained the information regarding the next key.

If Su Xiao wanted to take the legacy of the Shadows of Law, then first he had to find the keys. Even though he owned one of them right now, the more keys he collected, the better it would be.
Su Xiao had already heard about the throne many times. The high priest mentioned it before he died, which caused him to be immediately dismembered by the Royal Guards. Karen, the commander of the Royal Guard, also mentioned the throne before his death, and then drew his sword and committed suicide.
At first, Su Xiao thought that they meant some kind of curse or just the king's power, but because of this quest, it became obvious to him that they meant literally the throne and what was underneath it.
It was so simple that Su Xiao ended up thinking so much in vain.
Su Xiao looked at the towering throne. It was pitch-black and was said to be made from a meteorite. He felt that it was very solid, at the very least, he wouldn't be able to destroy it even with his current strength. As for its appearance... then he was ugly.
The surface of the throne was uneven, and if one sat on it for a long time, one's butt would definitely hurt, so it was covered with animal skins in several layers .
It was most likely the entrance down below, but Su Xiao couldn't go down there right now because there were princes and princesses in the assembly hall.
If he decides to move the throne now, it will at least look strange.
And in addition, a large number of mechanisms were installed under the throne, which reacted only to the blood of Herbert.
A plan popped up in Su Xiao's mind. First, he will kidnap the prince or princess, go down with him and take the Stone of Disappearance from there.
