After everyone left, only Shia and Chen Rui were left in the meeting hall.
"Congratulations, your Excellency, the new Sheriff." Sia sighed as Joseph's deliberately displayed anger had long since disappeared, "Your plan is amazing, Joseph really took the initiative to promote you to the position of Sheriff.
s position."
In fact, if "Agulie" had not "communicated" with Joseph in advance, Joseph would not have made up his mind to recommend Chen Rui to the position. However, Chen Rui would definitely not tell these inside stories. He just smiled and said: "If not
The cooperation between the eldest princess and the Seifer family will definitely not achieve this effect. Next, the eldest princess can send people to control and rectify the guard army, I only need to make a decoration."
"Kagulung will be in charge of the Guards," Shia said with a faint look in her eyes, "Since you have served as the Sheriff, the Guards will be handed over to you?"
"I'm not good at this!" Chen Rui shook his head quickly. It's OK to come up with some ideas to stumble behind his back. He definitely can't handle things like leading troops. Moreover, the identity of "Chen Rui" is a powerless human being, so he can't expose his true identity.
Strength.
"Don't underestimate your ability, and you can ask Athena to help you." Shia glanced at him and suddenly added: "One more piece of advice, the Wells family's bloodline talent is very special. If you really
For Athena's sake, don't cross that last line until she's twenty."
Chen Rui showed a look of surprise. The matter between him and Asina was not made public. Even the little Loli only vaguely guessed it. But I guess Shia also guessed it. From the time Asina took the initiative to accompany Chen Rui,
Shia should have seen some clues when they were at Xilang Mountain.
Chen Rui could hear that there was a hint of loneliness in Shia's voice. Shia didn't give him time to explain or think about it, and continued as if nothing had happened: "In this case, I think the promise you made before going to the mine should be fulfilled.
Yes, that’s Jiya.”
This was an old matter brought up again. Chen Rui frowned and said, "Can I refuse this reward?"
A few months ago, after Jia learned about this incident, her originally harmonious relationship with Chen Rui suddenly became estranged. In the past, Jia liked to go on picnics with Alice, but when she went to the mangroves a few days ago,
Alice offered to ask Jia to go, but she refused, obviously avoiding Chen Rui.
To be honest, when he first came to the demon world, Chen Rui still had some feelings for this seductive witch, but now he has no such feelings at all, and he doesn't want to force others into trouble.
"This is actually not a reward, but a mission," Shia shook her head and said: "Jia was rescued by me by chance and then became my maid, but... this 'accident' is very
It may be man-made. Don't underestimate this succubus, her mind and power are far beyond your imagination."
After Jiya became Shia's maid, she has been fulfilling her duties and won Shia's trust. However, by chance, Old Gauss discovered that she actually possessed powerful spiritual power. If she were a magician, her strength would still be as high as the old one.
Gauss himself immediately reported to Shia.
No matter what interrogation method was used, Jiya just claimed that she had recently awakened her mutation talent, and voluntarily wore a magic-forbidden ring, which is a powerful item that traps magic power, to show her innocence.
Although there was nothing faulty about this reason and attitude, Shia had already become suspicious, and instead of keeping Gia by her side, she gave it to Alice. In fact, Old Goss even secretly tried to use Master and Servant
Contract, but it is invalid for Jia. It is very likely that she already has her own master or servant, and her origin is by no means simple.
"Your mission is to find out her origins, and if possible, subdue her completely so that the chess pieces placed by the enemy around us can be used by us. In addition to having excellent magic talents, Jiya also has the mutation talent of Devouring Body
, able to swallow the essence of the object and turn it into one's own use. This mutated talent is very rare and extremely powerful. Even the Demon Emperor cannot completely exempt it. The demon-forbidden ring can only limit her magic power and cannot imprison this talent.
However, there is a secret treasure that can suppress this devouring power - that is the 'Dark Will' I gave you!" Shia's eyes fell on Chen Rui's finger, but she did not find the ring, and she frowned slightly
.
Chen Rui noticed Shia's displeasure, and with a thought, the storage warehouse came into play. He opened his clenched fists and found in his palm the secret treasure of the Lucifer royal family: "I think you need this secret treasure more than me. Now
I have returned from Xilang Mountain, and I wanted to return it to you."
"This is a gift I gave you. I have no intention of getting it back." Shia glanced at the ring and shook her head slightly. "This secret treasure is the most precious treasure of Xuehan Belial, the beloved concubine of Emperor Saga Lucifer.
The secret treasure ring forged by the power of the Eye of the Strong Evil King mixed with the blood of Lucifer's royal family, in addition to teleportation and mental resistance, it also has special functions in matters between men and women, which is enough to suppress Jiya's devouring physique."
Chen Rui didn't expect "The Will of Darkness" to have miraculous effects. He suddenly remembered another "Passion Ring" obtained from Luo Meng in the warehouse. The correct name of this ring should be Ziyanxin. It seemed to be related to the ancient Tibetan people.
Treasure, it's a pity that this mystery has not been solved yet.
Shia's tone turned cold: "You only need to wear the ring, and you can possess Jia without being affected by the power of devouring. Succubi are naturally very attractive to men, but their desire for men is also greater than that of ordinary women."
. When conditions are ripe, completely possessing her body and mind may be a good way to subdue her. Our current plan has reached a more critical link and cannot make any mistakes. If it is determined that she cannot be subdued, then she can only be conquered.
Completely obliterate it to avoid future troubles!"
The indifference that easily controls other people's lives and deaths seems to remind Chen Rui that she is an indifferent and ruthless female lord in front of her.
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I have to complete this task? Can't I leave it to others?"
"The Will of Darkness was secretly escorted by Athena three years ago. Almost no one knows that it is in my hands, and besides you, I don't plan to give it to anyone else... Only you can complete this task."
Xiya paused for a moment and showed admiration, "Speaking of it, Jiya is just a task. I don't know what reward I should give you."
"Reward? No need, there is no merit anyway." Chen Rui rubbed his nose, "And I am already a peace officer. If I am found to have abused my power and enriched my own pockets in the future, please turn a blind eye, Her Majesty the Princess.
Just the eyes will do.
"If you only look at your merits, no one in Dark Moon can compare to you..." Shia shook her head: "Now the secret food base has been successfully established. Under the influence of that dust, the effect of soil improvement has been huge, and crop yields have increased.
It's gratifying. The food crisis in Dark Moon for thousands of years has been solved in my hands, and you can be said to have made the greatest contribution. The income of the Princess Fang you planned and operated far exceeded my imagination, becoming one of the most important sources of cash, and your follow-up planning
It will also bring more benefits. Not only that, the ores you brought back this time, plus those brought by Toa Gulie last time, are enough to create equipment to arm several armies. Not only did you rescue Tim, but also made
The Seifer family became even more determined, and used a cunning plan to trap and kill the leader of the bandit group. They planned a surprise attack on the entire Xilang Mountain, and finally eliminated the hidden dangers of the western passage that had been stagnant for several years. This time, they designed to take back the power of the Sheriff..."
"Really?" Chen Rui rubbed his nose even more. It sounded like he had done a lot of credit, but many of these were for his own purposes, and many of them were just taking advantage of others...
Shia said so much in one breath and sighed: "These contributions are too great, I can't think of how to reward you..."
Is there any reward? But Shia is right, the Sheriff is already the highest position below the lord, and half of the wealth in the palace treasury from Princess Square originally belongs to Chen Rui, so there is indeed nothing to reward.
.
Chen Rui secretly murmured and smiled: "We humans have a saying, which is called the master who is shaken by his great achievements. Usually when it reaches this point, even if you really let go of your power, it will be difficult to end well."
There are countless examples in history, such as Han Xin, Yue Fei, Li Mu, Nian Gengyao... Although there are many comprehensive reasons for the failure of these people, the undoubted keyword is their high achievements.
Shia's expression suddenly became solemn and she stood up: "I, Shia Lucifer, swear by the blood of the royal family..."
"Wait a minute!" Chen Rui smiled bitterly: "It's just a joke, Princess, don't take it seriously."
"If it's just a test, I believe you already know my answer." Shia frowned: "It is estimated that the people from the imperial capital will arrive in a few days. We must deal with it carefully by then. No matter what, we must kill the Beelzebub royal family.
If possible, especially the guy wearing the God-Eating Mask that night, we must smash him to pieces!"
The unabashed murderous intent in Shia's tone made Chen Rui secretly shiver. The secret of the secret room should be the biggest source of murderous intent. It seems that the identity of the "Beelzebub Royal Family" can only continue to be concealed.
The "law" of using affinity to offset hatred, if you accumulate more credit now, her resentment will be reduced when the truth is told.
Shia looked at his twinkling eyes, and suddenly her voice became a little deeper: "Do you really think that one day I will hurt you because of...?"
"Value determines the meaning of existence." Chen Rui scratched his head, "You, the eldest princess, said this yourself, I think it was just before I went to Xilang Mountain."
When Shia heard about Xilang Mountain, she seemed to be touched by something. The ice and snow in her eyes gradually melted away: "No, your value is not..."
This sentence was not spoken further, but Chen Rui clearly felt the rare softness in the purple eyes. Thinking of the call in front of the wind chime in the secret room, his heart became softer and he showed a determined smile: "
Princess, since this is the case, then, I think I have received the best reward."
Shia's eyes trembled slightly, staring at his smiling face, and suddenly said lightly: "I have to say, you are really good at impressing women, Mr. Sheriff. Unfortunately, I am not Athena, put you away
Small means."
What and what, it’s rare to feel like a confidant...a woman who doesn’t understand the style...
Chen Rui's expression froze, secretly thinking that with the eldest princess's strange reasoning ability, the explanation would only become darker and darker, so he left depressedly, but did not notice the rare narrowing of Shia's purple eyes.
