Joseph was even more vigilant. Although he had retained his strength in the tentative confrontation just now, this "Agulie" also did not use the innate abilities and artifacts of the Beelzebub family. Once he breaks out and takes action, he is afraid that it will really happen. Can't leave each other behind.
Most of the royal families have strange inherited powers. For example, most of Shia's power was inherited from his father, Prince Green. This Agule can possess the God-Eating Mask, so he must be the controller or heir of the Beelzebub royal family. Shia is just a down-and-out elder. Princess, and although the Beelzebub royal family has disappeared, the foundation accumulated over thousands of years is much deeper. It is definitely not easy for "Agulie" to go from the middle level at the beginning to the current demon king level. The seal is likely to be unlocked step by step. The key to inheriting power, then this person's true strength is probably the Great Demon King or even the Demon Emperor!
What's more, the Beelzebub royal family has come back again after four hundred years of silence, with more than just this power and manpower! Are they going to repeat the great changes four hundred years ago? In this way, I have many issues to consider.
Joseph kept a smile on his face, but his eyes were cloudy and there was no smile at all.
If Chen Rui knew what Joseph was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud: You really guessed wrong, I am the same person.
"The God-Eating Mask is indeed well-deserved. Although it is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of puppet power, it is enough for me to realize the power of the artifact." Joseph took a sip of wine gracefully: "I am very surprised. As one of the Seven Kings of the Demon Realm, How could the gluttonous royal family expect to cooperate with a little financial officer like me?"
"I came here tonight with sincerity. (I came here tonight purely because I won the prize through teleportation. Sincerity, my sister). Those words before were not perfunctory. I really long for this woman Shia. , but women are just a tool for me to satisfy certain pleasures. What I, the Beelzebub clan, really want is the entire Dark Moon, and this desire can be further expanded to the entire Fallen Angel Empire."
Chen Rui let out a deep laugh: "Dark Moon's food source and the passage to the west are both under your control, Chiyou. Compared with the little tricks of human trafficking in the Lanrong territory, Chiyou is Dark Moon's real control. So, I decided to cooperate with you."
"It seems that your Excellency is quite familiar with the situation in Dark Moon. Perhaps Princess Shia does not know as much as you do." Joseph showed curiosity: "Why did you choose me? Instead of my more capable brother. Carnita?”
"The hidden strength of the Beelzebub family is more powerful than you think. Not only Dark Moon, but even Chi You, I also know a lot of information, such as the recent failure of the Scarlet Guards in Leia Town, Snod "To be honest, I don't think you can overthrow Kanita. Even if you overthrow your brother, or if Kanita overthrows you, They may not be able to bring down your father. Don't tell me that Lord Zhuoqie is old and it's time to hand over power. Your father is playing nothing more than a balanced game. I believe you in this. You know better than me. If you have the support of my Beelzebub family, you can become the protagonist of this game instead of a toy manipulated by others..."
When Joseph heard Chen Rui mention Chi You's latest information and even Snowd's movements, his suspicions finally began to loosen, and the last sentence especially hit home.
Joseph was deeply scheming. Although he was moved, he would not easily believe such an empty promise: "Sir Agulie, what you said is indeed true, but judging from today's experience, it seems that you came here to avoid trouble.
Not for the so-called sincerity. As the Sheriff of Dark Moon, I have the responsibility and obligation to tell you to the lord Princess Shia."
"Yes, I did sneak into the palace to steal the artifact fragments, but I was chased by Shia. Her strength is a level higher than you and me. Unfortunately, she couldn't kill me even with all her strength, and she even restored the complete artifact to me.
, and I believe that even my identity as the leader of the Cloak Society has not been exposed." Chen Rui shook his head, his voice full of strong confidence, "This is enough to prove my personal ability... If your last sentence is serious, then for me
It's a pity that you gave up a real shortcut and at the same time added an enemy who should have been your greatest ally."
"Your Excellency Agulie is so sure of achieving his goal?" Joseph asked with a frown. If Shia was not aware of Agulie's identity, then he was definitely a person lurking next to Shia as the head of the Guards Reserve.
Killing move.
"The current Fallen Angel Empire is no longer the 400-year-old Fallen Angel Empire. The greatest enemy of our Beelzebub clan, Emperor Bai Ye, is no longer there. Do you still remember King Beelzebub who fought fiercely with Bai Ye 400 years ago? Is there a complete version of it?
His God-eating Mask, coupled with his current strength, is enough to compete with Lei Chan of the Blood Evil Empire!"
"Grofen Beelzebub?" Joseph was secretly shocked. Grofen did not die in Bai Ye's hands back then. After four hundred years of training and hiding, it was probably not an lie to say that he could compete with Lei Chan.
Joseph never thought that these were all nonsense by Chen Rui. Grofen had lost his body long ago underground, and now his soul had been swallowed up by Chen Rui. It could be said that it was completely wiped out. How could he have any strength to fight against Lei Chan?
"Based on the lessons learned four hundred years ago, our plans before launching this time will be more perfect. If the artifact was not so important this time, it would not easily show traces. But now that the artifact is in hand, many plans have already begun.
Even if your identity is exposed, it's worth it... This conversation can only end here, you know enough." After saying that, Chen Rui stood up and made a gesture of preparing to fall out, but he was secretly beating a drum in his heart.
"Wait! If the relationship between us changes to partners, can we continue to talk?" Joseph pondered for a moment and stood up.
"Let's make it simple, in one sentence. Chiyou is yours, I want Dark Moon and Lan Melt, and once we start a full-scale launch, you must be the first to respond publicly in Chiyou." Chen Rui glanced at Joseph:
"If you agree, we will be allies. I believe you have considered it for a long time just now. I want to hear your choice now."
Although Chen Rui's words were a bit strong, they were more credible in Joseph's ears. After all, there was the Demon Emperor behind him. From the words of "Agulie Beelzebub", it can be heard that the Beelzebub royal family this time
After hundreds of years of planning, if it doesn't move, it will be overturned.
Before that, he could just use Beelzebub's power to defeat his younger brother Kanita and his father Zhuoqie, and fulfill his long-cherished wish. At that time, whether he chooses to truly join or stab his ally in the back, the initiative rests entirely with him, the new Lord of Chiyou.
in hand.
Joseph's idea was good, but unfortunately, even the name "Agul Beelzebub" was a parallel import, which wasted a lot of thinking brain cells.
"My friend, Joseph Alvin is willing to devote his sincere friendship to you." Joseph raised his glass to express his attitude.
"Very good, Agulie Beelzebub is willing to accept and give his friendship." Chen Rui also raised his cup symbolically, "As a friend, I have a personal request. Don't touch the eldest princess for the time being. I want to
Do it yourself, and of course I won't interfere with your hobbies."
"We will all get what we want, my friend." Joseph showed an ambiguous smile, "Don't forget the saying in our demon world, the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is."
"But there is another saying, the stronger the wine, the more fragrant it is." Chen Rui also said something, and the two of them laughed at the same time, maybe they were also sneering in their hearts.
Chen Rui successfully used the wolf this time. The most important thing is to take advantage of the situation and turn the situation that was originally unfavorable to him (such as Shia's misunderstanding and pursuit) into an advantage to gain Joseph's trust. However, he must further secure this wolf.
Wolf also needs appropriate sweetness.
At this time, Royce had already finished handling the body and bowed to Joseph: "Just now the commander of the Imperial Guard, Kagulon, came here to ask about the suspect. I was afraid of disturbing your business, so I sent him away without authorization.
"
Joseph nodded: "You are right. Now I have a true ally with you."
"To show my sincerity, I will give you a precious gift, my friend," Chen Rui took out something, "but the sincerity is mutual, and I also need your return gift."
Joseph was slightly surprised. He looked at Chen Rui's slowly opened palm and studied it for a while. Suddenly his expression changed and he could no longer maintain his calmness. His eyes instantly became extremely hot: "Devil Fruit!"
Royce and Vasasha were both surprised. Vasasha was shocked by the Devil Fruit, but Royce was surprised by the identity of the masked man. Now he has determined that this "Princess Shia" ordered the whole city to search.
"The Beelzebub Royal Family" are their own masters!
Joseph took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure, but his mind was agitated. One of the fundamental reasons why Carnita was valued more by his father than him was talent and strength. Carnita was extremely talented and was close to the level of the Great Demon King.
, however, he is still stagnant in the middle level of the Demon King. If he can obtain the Devil Fruit, the hope of breaking through the bottleneck will greatly increase, and the chance of becoming the Great Demon King will be greatly increased. In any case, his own power is the most important and real!
Joseph suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "This gift is indeed extremely precious. My friend, what sincerity do I need to pay to satisfy you?"
"Heart of Scarlet Obsidian and Requiem Fruit." Although it is a pity to let Joseph get the Devil Fruit, to Chen Rui, nothing is more important than Heart of Scarlet Obsidian, even if Joseph breaks through to the high level of Demon King or even the Great Demon King
, he also has complete confidence to surpass this enemy.
Joseph pondered: "Both of these are extremely rare treasures. I have one of the Hearts of Red Light, but it is stored in the territory of Chiyou. I will go there in person tomorrow and can return in three days at the earliest. However,
There is indeed no requiem fruit. Can it be replaced with something else? For example, magic materials or equipment?"
Chen Rui was excited when he heard about Chi Yao's heart. Fortunately, he was wearing a god-eating mask on his face, so there was no clue. Instead, Joseph's unconcealable eagerness fell into his eyes, and he sneered secretly and said
: "I remember you said at the beginning that one of the conditions for our cooperation is that I can use your resources to lift the seal, magic materials and equipment. Isn't that the preferential treatment I already enjoy?"
Joseph secretly scolded this guy for being greedy, but he was bound to get the Devil Fruit. He couldn't show any dissatisfaction at the moment, so he agreed immediately: "No problem! Royce is in charge of the magic store. This time the magic store has been rebuilt.
Now, you can go find him! But I can send someone to inquire about the Requiem Fruit..."
Chen Rui knew that Joseph indeed did not have the Requiem Fruit, so he sighed: "Since it is a symbol of friendship, I don't want to embarrass you. Let's change it to something, Chi Yao's Heart and..."
Chen Rui's eyes swept across Royce and landed on Vasasha. He pointed at the cold female demon and said, "I want this woman!"
