Chapter 217 Xivan's Ambition
The reason why Xifan controlled the princess to seize the imperial power was not for the sake of fullness, nor for useless power.
Everything Xifan does is for the purpose of advancing to the eighth rank and becoming the top powerhouse under the rules of the world.
For this promotion, Xifan has been planning for nearly a hundred years.
In the past 100 years, Sivan has collected treasures that can help him break through bottlenecks in various secret realms around the world and even in the abyss.
In addition to [Sharan] who had just advanced to the seventh rank, the other 3 seventh-rank powerhouses (Roland, Andrew, Charles Gorse) also maintained close contact with him.
Three years ago, Xifan finally gathered all the treasures he needed, and he was confident that he could advance to the rank!
However, these treasures require a special crystal called [Frenzy Fragment] to unleash the full power of the treasures.
[Frenzy Fragments] need to be obtained from a large number of civilians, 100 civilians can get about 1 fragment after a special ceremony, and Sivan needs at least 3000 fragments to activate all the treasures.
That is to say, he needs 300,000 civilians to participate in the ceremony in order to collect enough fragments.
【Frenzy Fragment】cannot be saved, it will automatically dissipate in about a week, and Xivan cannot accumulate for a long time.
So he made this plan:
Xifan contacted 3 seventh-order powerhouses to seize the imperial power, and used the imperial power to gather hundreds of thousands of residents of Forest City to participate in the ceremony, so that a sufficient amount of [Frenzy Fragments] could be collected.
Three seventh-order powerhouses expressed support for Xivan's plan.
If Sivan can successfully advance to the rank, then the threat posed by the northern rebels will be eliminated, and they can also gain a lot of benefits from it, which is in their interests.
But for the promotion of Sivan, the guardian Kevin Plantage firmly opposed it.
Kevin Plantagenet believes that Sivan will cause a large number of civilian deaths during the promotion process, which is not in the interests of the Empire as a whole. And most importantly, Sivan would threaten his status when he was promoted.
So Kevin Plantager threatened Sivan several times, telling him not to advance.
Facing the enormous pressure of Kevin Gorse, Sivan had to obey on the surface, and could only secretly collect the treasures needed to advance to the rank.
This also caused him to delay the collection of treasures that could have been completed in more than ten years until nearly a hundred years.
Sivan used to be respectful to Kevin Gorse on the surface, but he actually hated it deeply.
Now the chance is finally here!
Kevin Plantagenet's body is stuck in [Brilliant New World] and cannot get out. It is the best time for Xifan to advance, he must seize this time period to complete his breakthrough!
That's why there is a series of events in Forest City.
in the palace of the emperor.
The leaders of the major forces followed Sivan's orders to gather the commoners;
Sivan stood beside the emperor wrapped in black mist and used [Mind Steal] to read his memory;
Su Yu seriously thought about the cause and effect of the incident, and had more confidence in the main storyline afterward.
After reading the memory, Sivan stood and meditated on the spot for a while.
Then he walked towards Su Yu and looked at him with great interest: "Bane, what did that old guy Kevin Plantage say?"
The corner of Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly and replied, "Lord Patronus didn't give me any reply."
Su Yu didn't tell lies, he had no way to communicate with the Patronus, and of course the Patronus would not reply to him.
"Humph! I really hope that old guy dies of anger in the new world." Xifan flicked his sleeves and turned into a black mist to prepare to leave the palace.
But Su Yu stopped him: "Wait a minute, Xifan! I sent you so many letters, won't you give me a favor? You don't treat me as free labor!"
Hearing Su Yu's words, the black mist once again transformed into a human form.
Xifan looked at Su Yu with a slightly surprised look, how dare this kid dare to ask him for a favor?
Other people in the hall, including the seventh-order powerhouse [Sharan], looked at Su Yu in surprise.
At this juncture, Su Yu surrendered to Xifan without lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, how could he dare to speak so loudly?
Xifan thought for a while, then threw a bottle of blue and golden potion from his sleeve and threw it at Su Yu.
"Ding, [Glory of the Plantage Empire (30/100)] has been completed, congratulations on getting the experience value x20000."
"Congratulations on your extra reward: [Advanced Azure Wisdom Potion (Gold Rare)] x1."
【Advanced Azure Wisdom Potion (Gold Rare)】: Increases your intelligence by 200 points for 60 seconds. The cooldown time of the medicine is 5 minutes.
This bottle of potion is quite good, it can be brought back to reality, and it can improve a lot of explosive power.
But Su Yu curled his lips in disdain: "As a powerhouse of the seventh-order legendary peak, that's all? Are you too stingy?"
"Stingy?!"
Sharan and the leaders of the great powers who had not left looked at Su Yu, as if they were looking at a mentally retarded. Your kid wants to die, right?
Well, adventurers from other worlds are not afraid of death, they will be resurrected 6 hours after death.
But Xifan is a seventh-order peak powerhouse, so Su Yu is not afraid that Xifan will permanently imprison his soul?
Xifan's face became gloomy, and he condensed a big hand composed of black mist, trying to crush the bug in front of him.
But Su Yu continued without changing his face: "Xifan, in fact, we have places where we can cooperate. You need [Frenzy Fragments], right? I have a way to get you a lot of [Frenzy Fragments]."
Hearing the word "[Frenzy Fragment]", the big hand composed of black mist stopped abruptly beside Su Yu.
In the face of such a big event as "advancement", Su Yu's little offense doesn't seem so important.
"What can you do?" Xifan's tone was a little stiff.
Su Yu put his hands behind his back and replied calmly: "The biggest difficulty for you to collect [Frenzy Fragments] is that the people in the city do not cooperate. The more you go to the back, the more difficult it is to collect, right?"
Sivan collects [Frenzy Fragments] and needs to set up a Shadow Frenzy Formation and activate [Frenzy Ritual]. Civilians who enter the magic circle will attack and bite each other like crazy animals until they kill everyone nearby.
A [Frenzy Ritual] can allow up to 10,000 civilians to participate.
After the ceremony, half of the civilians will die in the ceremony, a quarter will be seriously injured and dying, and the remaining quarter will survive, which will inevitably leave a lifetime of trauma.
At the beginning, the people didn’t know how terrible the ritual was, but the first few waves of [Frenzy Ritual] could be successfully completed.
But the people are not fools.
They found that all the people who went to the ceremony were gone, and there were fewer and fewer people around, and they began to resist and escape spontaneously, which would cause the collection of debris to become slower and slower.
"What? Do you have a solution?" Xifan looked at him coldly.
"Of course." Su Yu replied: "With my appeal, I can summon a million otherworldly adventurers for you to collect fragments, what do you think?"
