Chapter 187: The Secretly Returning Mining Officer
Chapter 187: The Mining Officer who returned secretly (first update in March, asking for seduction and attention)
Although Kagulun didn't know what those powders were, judging from Old Gauss's attitude, this person's identity must be of great importance. He didn't ask any more questions and nodded decisively.
Soon, a man wearing a cloak whose true identity could not be seen followed Kagulong to the meeting hall.
"Kagulung, you personally guard the entrance to the inner courtyard. No one is allowed to enter." Shia's expression was still cold, but the fluctuations in her voice rarely reflected the extraordinary fluctuations in her heart. Kagulung was secretly surprised by the visitor.
With his identity, he bowed and left.
"Princess, I still have some things to do, so I have to take my leave." Old Gauss bowed and took the initiative to take his leave.
Shia seemed to want to keep old Gauss, but she didn't say anything in the end. She and the cloaked man were left alone in the meeting room.
After old Gauss left, the visitor took off the cloak covering his head and smiled: "Long time no see, Your Highness the Princess."
The moment Shia saw that smile, she was slightly absent-minded, and instantly returned to her original state. However, this subtle emotional fluctuation could not be hidden from Chen Rui, who had reached the level of the Demon King. Although due to the skill of disguise, he was now just the powerless one.
of human beings.
Xia looked at Chen Rui for a moment and nodded: "You came back just in time. I have an important matter to discuss with you."
Chen Rui was stunned. Not counting Agulie's identity and the bathing incident, he and Shia hadn't seen each other for two months, and they had come back from such a dangerous place. They didn't even ask about the situation and went straight to the topic.
It can be seen from the recall of the wind chime that Shia has a subtle feeling for him now, a little closer than a friend. Now that they are reunited after a long separation, they have to say "you are finally back", "finally you are back safely" or
Ask why you came back.
Chen Rui secretly sighed: This eldest princess can cry loudly in front of the wind chimes in the secret room, and even call his name deeply, but in the meeting hall she is the ice princess who is unsmiling and as cold as frost.
Hidden attributes are hidden attributes after all, and cannot be activated unless there are specific conditions.
However, Chen Rui didn't expect that even if he was an ordinary subordinate, Shia would be more or less polite in this situation, saying that it was "abnormal" because he was "special".
Shia told the story about the Beelzebub royal family appearing to steal artifact fragments and the fact that people from the Imperial Capital were coming to assist in the investigation. Seeing Chen Rui looking a little distracted, she frowned and said, "What do you think of this matter?"
Chen Rui deliberately showed a thoughtful look and said: "The Beelzebub royal family must have come prepared when they reappeared four hundred years later, and now they have obtained a complete God-Eating Mask. It is indeed a big problem. I am thinking,
Beelzebub's target is definitely not just the ruined Dark Moon, but the entire Fallen Angel Empire. Perhaps we can use some means to use Beelzebub's power to our own advantage to fight against..."
"No!" Shia categorically interrupted Chen Rui's words, a strong murderous intention emerged from her body, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how valuable it is, the Beelzebub family, especially the person that night, must die!
"
"Eldest Princess, today is no longer the same person as four hundred years ago. Perhaps, that person..."
The murderous intention on Shia's body became even stronger. Even though it was not directed at Chen Rui, it still made him feel chilled to the bone. It was definitely not a bluff. It seemed that her hatred for a certain guy had reached the extreme: "Needless to say! Even without the God-Eating Mask
, that person must die too! There is no doubt about this!"
"..."
Chen Rui originally just wanted to test Shia's attitude, but Shia's reaction was so violent that there was no room for explanation. It seems that even if he is not from the Beelzebub royal family or does not have the God-Eating Mask, the secret room alone has touched Shia.
Asia's reverse scale.
Chen Rui had no doubt that if he revealed his identity now, Xia would immediately kill him on the spot - a risk he couldn't afford.
Judging from the sounds of recalling the wind chimes, Shia, as the Lord of the Dark Moon, is a cold-blooded woman who devotes her life and death to her territory. Nothing is more important than the "overall situation" she considers. Unless she has the power to compete with her or
Until he can leave Dark Moon without any scruples, it would be better not to confess about the God-Eating Mask for the time being.
After all, Shia is not Athena. Chen Rui currently only has a vague shadow in Shia's heart. The most obvious impression is that of a subordinate with some talent. Unless her intimacy can reach Athena's level, otherwise
The true bottom must never be revealed.
Everything is for survival. Now Chen Rui is not to the point of gambling, and he is no longer a person. He has a lover, friends, and followers, so he must be cautious.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui immediately changed his mind: "I understand what the eldest princess meant. I don't want to cooperate with the Beelzebub royal family, but I want to use the power of the imperial capital to consume the Beelzebub royal family, and then I will seize the opportunity and use the other party's power.
Act when it is at its weakest and wipe out the Beelzebub royal family in one fell swoop."
Xiya pondered for a while and nodded: "It's just that this plan is too difficult to implement. I have sent people to search for half a month, and there has been no whereabouts of the Beelzebub royal family. It is very likely that they have left the Dark Moon, or are hiding in our
A place that cannot be found.”
"Then this matter can be put on hold for a while and left to the people from the imperial capital to deal with. The eldest princess is the lord of the territory, so she should take a broader view and don't follow this point too closely. There is a more important thing at the moment." Chen
Rui looked at Shia's expectant eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, why didn't you ask me why I came back from Xilang Mountain?"
Seeing the confident smile, Shia felt that her anxiety in recent days had calmed down inexplicably, and said calmly: "As a lord, I am waiting for the report from my mining officer."
"I made a mistake. It was very rude to let a beautiful lady take the initiative to ask." Chen Rui cleverly drew an equal sign between the lord and the beautiful lady, putting himself in a more equal position.
Sure enough, Shia's murderous aura subsided, her eyes showed a little softness, and she seemed to have a sense of empathy.
"Has the eldest princess received the ore I brought back from Agulie last time?"
Speaking of this, Shia's purple eyes flashed: "I have received them all. I don't know how you solved the problem of the waste mine. These high-quality iron ores can be used to make sophisticated weapons and equipment."
"What I asked him to bring was only a small part. This time I brought back some more. In fact, these are all waste mines over the years. I disposed of them all using a 'special' method inherited from the great master.
There is no more waste ore in the mine, it is all this high-quality ore. It’s just that we can’t go underground yet. For now, the ‘waste ore’ accumulated over hundreds of years is enough for us to use.”
I said it was easy, but in fact, I even killed a demon emperor. This was indeed a "special" method.
Shia was overjoyed: "Your contribution is great! I will reward you well."
"I haven't finished my credit yet, Princess, don't worry," Chen Rui said with a smile, "Your Highness, do you still remember Tim, the former mining officer who disappeared two years ago?"
Shia nodded, and Chen Rui's next words surprised her: "Tim is not dead..."
According to Chen Rui, Tim was framed two years ago. He met the terrifying monster Medusa underground and was imprisoned by Medusa. If he hadn't happened to marry a Medusa, he would have died a violent death. These things
Nian has been trying his best, but unfortunately he can't escape.
Just as Chen Rui and Athena were trying to save the miners who were trapped at the bottom of the main mine, they happened to encounter a battle between Medusa and the Bullhead. When Tim took advantage of the chaos to escape with the help of Medusa's wife, he happened to find two
They escaped from the underground world together, but Tim's Medusa wife is a demon king and cannot pass the seal. Currently, Tim has been hiding somewhere in Xilang Mountain.
Chen Rui told the situation of the bandits in Xilang Mountain again. The original bandit leaders were either tricked into killing each other or poisoned. They were all dead. Only Snod, the leader of the bandit group, was left. Chen Rui originally wanted to use
Poison was used, but this Snod was a demon king-level warrior with a vigilant nature, and he was discovered unexpectedly. If it hadn't been for the help of Agulie who came over, Chen Rui, Tim and Athena would all have died in the hands of Snod, but Agullie
He was also seriously injured and is currently hiding in Leia Town in the Shadow Empire to recuperate.
"That Agule..." Shia looked suspicious: "Are you sure you have been with you these days?"
Chen Rui nodded affirmatively: "After the last duel with Araukes, he handed the things I entrusted to the eldest princess, and then returned to Xilang Mountain. Although he didn't like to be disturbed and often practiced alone, he needed to
It will still show up in time.”
Shia carefully asked about the time when Agulie appeared. Sure enough, it conflicted with the time when the Beelzebub royal family appeared. He should not be the same person, and his face became slightly brighter. Chen Rui knew that Shia had a lot of feelings for "Agulie".
Suspicious, fortunately he was prepared and dealt with it without missing a beat.
Chen Rui did not tell Athena's true power to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Athena is currently resting in the underground level of the arena. According to Vasasha, Royce has successfully moved around the Chiyou territory.
I got the Evil Blue Tears and am on my way back to Dark Moon. I can get there as soon as tonight.
Chen Rui's in-depth analysis of the God-Eating Mask began to slow down after it reached 50%. It was also a deep analysis. In the past, it could resolve 1%-2%. Now it is only possible to reach 1% after two analyzes. There are Evil Blue Tears.
Now, not only the number of analysis can be increased, but the special effect of shielding one's own power level is just suitable for Athena.
"Do you still remember the letter I asked the cloak to send? It asked the eldest princess to postpone the plan to send troops to Xilang Mountain because the conditions were not mature enough at that time. According to the information I obtained, Snod is a mutated demon with a strength of
The Demon King is in the first stage and is good at wind magic. If the eldest princess has a reliable candidate to defeat Snowd, then this plan can be launched."
Shia pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, you actually know this candidate, that is Kagulong."
Chen Rui was slightly surprised. Kagurong's strength in the Eye of Analysis was only a high-level demon, and he was not a mutant bloodline. How could he actually deal with Snod?
However, as the most important commander of the Imperial Guard under Shia, he must have something special about him.
"Both Kagulon and his sister have special mutant abilities. They are just the opposite of ordinary big demons. They usually store their power in a fighting form. During battle, they can transform into ordinary forms to exert powerful power. Kagulung and Kagulli
Their strength is at the level of demon kings, and they will never be revealed easily. Kagulon's duty is to guard the palace, while Kaguli is to protect Alice. However, when they actually take action, they need to cover it up appropriately and try not to let Snod see the clues.
"
This is the first time Chen Rui has heard of this opposite state of the Great Demon's mutated talent. He must be able to control his combat power. However, Shia's last words are obviously unnecessary. Snowd is already under control.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness." Chen Rui understood that Xia telling him such a secret meant that he had become as close a confidant as Kagulong and Old Gauss, so he reciprocated the favor and said, "Since that's the case
, then I would like to congratulate the eldest princess in advance, it is time to take back the position of the Sheriff."
As soon as these words came out, Shia's eyes immediately lit up.
