The outcome of the emergency meeting shocked all Dark Moon residents. Tim, the man who had the most hope of becoming the Sheriff, actually lost to the human mining officer Chen Rui who was "rescued" by him!
According to well-informed sources, the key to Chen Rui's success this time is the support of Financial Officer Joseph. The reason is that at the last quarterly meeting, Joseph and Chen Rui made a bet document. If they can get money from Xilang Mountain,
When he came back alive, he recommended him as the Sheriff. At that time, Her Royal Highness Princess Shia personally provided evidence and could not go back on her words, so Chen Ruicai dramatically ascended to the position of Sheriff.[bsp; For a time, all parties were despised, dissatisfied, and jealous.
The voices are endless, but nothing can change the reality of human beings becoming sheriffs. But almost no one pays attention to the former Sheriff Allen who has stepped down. No matter what, losers are losers.
The most innocent person is Tim of the Seifer family. The Sheriff who got it actually flew away and could only return to the bitter cold place like Xilang Mountain to serve as the mining officer again, but with the additional title of West Road Defense Captain.
, being able to command a certain amount of troops is also a consolation prize.
No one could have imagined that at this moment, Tim, the most innocent mining officer, was half-kneeling in front of the sheriff, and he was sincerely convinced.
Tim looked at the Devil Fruit in his hand and was extremely excited. In addition to the life-saving life-extending potion, the owner actually gave him such a precious item. In fact, apart from the little evil demon Sli, the Devil Fruit has become Chen Rui
"Standard benefits for servants." If this news spreads, I'm afraid countless demons will rush in to recognize the master.
With the power of the Earth Elemental Heart, the output of Devil Fruit will be doubled. As for whether the grade can be further improved, it depends on whether it supports this "upgrade".
"Get up." Chen Rui patted Tim on the shoulder, "How did you explain Liao Sha's matter to the family?"
Tim nodded: "It was much smoother than expected. When my father heard that Liaosha had a child, and it was also a mutated big devil, he immediately determined the location of her main wife without saying a word, and even proposed to have her immediately.
Take the child back, and it was not easy for me to convince you."
Chen Rui was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Old Ford was so "enlightened." He actually gave the "alien" Medusa a position as his wife. In fact, Chen Rui still underestimated the importance the demons attached to inheritance. Of course, if Liao
Sarah gave birth to Medusa, so it would be good to be recognized as a concubine.
"So... you will have many side rooms?" Chen Rui said with a smile, and seeing Tim's wry smile, he added: "Your father didn't doubt me, did he?"
Tim shook his head and said: "Master, don't worry. My father only knows that it was the master who saved me and Liao Sha. He is very grateful to the master. He doesn't know anything else. Even the materials used by the master to make the black potion were well concealed by me."
.”
Chen Rui nodded approvingly: "This time you go to Xilang Mountain, you will bring many people from the family. Things in the underground world must continue to be kept secret. You can claim that the main mine has been closed and let the miners continue to mine open-pit ore.
As for paying the ore, don’t worry. I have already made an agreement with the eldest princess. Also, all the ore in the abandoned mine room has been restored to normal ore. I also buried part of it in the green leaf forest. You can secretly transfer this batch of ore.
Go to a safe place. In addition to repairing the original public communication platform, you also need to secretly build our own communication platform in Xilang Mountain to facilitate our communication. As for the defense in the west, I don’t need to say more.
Always be on guard against the Red Nether Territory and the Shadow Empire. If necessary, you can use the power of the Medusa tribe or ask for help from the earth elemental people."
"Yes, Master." Tim was completely convinced by Chen Rui's wisdom and magical power. This time he went to Xilang Mountain to show off his skills, and at the same time, he could take good care of Liao Sha's mother and son. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
After a while, Tim walked out of the underground level of the arena. When he saw Athena in the hall, he bowed deeply, nodded to Araux and others, put on his cloak, and left under the cover of nightfall.
arena.
Chen Rui also walked out and asked Royce: "Joseph has left Dark Moon?"
Royce nodded: "After attending the meeting, he hurried to Chiyou. It seems that Carnita is attacking him because of the complete defeat of Dark Moon West."
"The poor financial officer not only has to travel back and forth, but also has to deal with internal fighting with his brother. Even the time to meditate and practice is precious. But when I saw him today, I found that his strength has increased a lot, and he is likely to break through.
To the high level of Demon King." Chen Rui looked at the calm appearance of Araukes, Royce and others, and frowned: "Aren't you worried at all?"
Royce showed a strange look: "It's not that I want to flatter the master, but I am also worried about Joseph. It is estimated that by the time he reaches the high-level Demon King level, the master will at least be a big demon king. In a sense,
Say, the master is..."
Royce shrugged and didn't say anything. Araukes, who was drinking on the sofa, suddenly answered in a tacit understanding: "Monster."
The people around him nodded in unison. Seeing that even Athena was following suit, Chen Rui was even more speechless.
Soon, two shadows with flashing wings rose in the night sky and flew quickly outside the city.
After arriving at Lanbo Lake, Chen Rui found Pagliu.
Pagliu looked at Athena who was also here and grinned: "Not bad, I brought my family here this time."
As soon as these words came out, Athena, who originally still had a grudge against Poisonous Dragon for being deceived and poisoned, immediately turned half red, and most of the resentment in her heart immediately dissipated.
Du Wulong added: "If Chen Rui dares to bully you, just tell me and I will help you beat him. I will teach you how to control your breath and control your fighting power later."
Athena's favorability towards Poison Dragon has skyrocketed, from "average" to "friendly".
Chen Rui gestured his middle finger to Poison Dragon with contempt: Don't you just want to find a reason to bully others? He can only coax this silly girl Athena.
Pagliu took the wine thrown by Chen Rui and asked, "What's the matter with the young couple coming here today?"
Chen Rui pulled the somewhat reserved Athena to sit down: "I am now the Sheriff of Darkmoon City. You'd better be honest, otherwise I don't mind taking the title of a dragon-slaying warrior."
Pagliu glanced at him with disdain: "As for you, unless you commit suicide, you won't be able to hurt even one of my scales."
Athena was a little surprised at the casualness of the words between the two, especially Pagliu, who did not have the arrogance of the legendary dragons at all, but was similar to some kind of "dead duck" "mutated creature" that Chen Rui said.
Gradually, Athena, who has a generous personality, got used to this atmosphere. She would interject a few words from time to time and seemed very harmonious.
"By the way, how's your practice of cultivating your mind?"
"The first step has been completed. Although I don't have much time left, I have full confidence because I have Asina's support." Chen Rui glanced at Asina and gave her a reassuring smile.
.
"You are a guy who values sex over friends!" Poisonous Dragon said with dissatisfaction, "After the seal is lifted, I will take a dozen female dragons to fly dozens of times over your home! I envy you!"
"Ten 'heads'? Are you still 'envious to death'? Bah! I won't be envious even to death!" Chen Rui glanced at Poison Dragon with disdain, and showed off the closeness of Yang and Athena's interlocked fingers.
, "What's more, you can't even find a female lizard now."
Athena shyly withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Rui made a few jokes and said: "By the way, I plan to go to Youye Wetland in a while. Now that I am at the Demon King level, Youye Wetland also has the help of the two-legged flying dragon. It's time to help you unlock the world of light and darkness."
locked."
Pagliu frowned: "Let's wait until you pass the level of mind cultivation. Anyway, I have been sleeping for thousands of years, so I don't have to worry about this moment."
"No need, now my mind training... meditating alone is not enough. It needs to be understood slowly in life. There is no need to rush. Besides, in less than a month, your dragon language inscription will appear intermittent.
At that time, two friends will go to look for treasures. If the self-destruction inscription is touched, it will be troublesome. I have made an appointment with those two friends to go together. I will adapt to the situation and just give the friend one piece he needs.
Returning the things to her will not reveal your treasure. But speaking of which, you robbed a lot of things back then. Apart from that friend, the Eye of Sauron seems to be the Minotaur's secret treasure?"
Pagliu showed no shame at all, but looked very proud: "That's natural. Don't underestimate the dragon clan's ability to make money. When I unlock all the seals in the future, I can take you to plunder..."
Is this guy really good at this? Chen Rui shook his head helplessly.
"If you use the Eye of Sauron to lift your seal, this secret treasure will not be damaged, right?"
"No, I just borrow the spiritual power of the Eye of Sauron to shake the Lock of Light and Darkness." Poisonous Dragon showed an indifferent expression, "If you want it, I can give it to you, but I have to exchange it for another treasure!"
"Stingy guy! By the way, is there any requiem fruit in your treasure?"
"You think I'm a gardener? What's more, that thing is very rare and has harsh growing conditions. I don't know where it can be found..."
At this time, Athena interjected: "Chen Rui, the two friends you mentioned going to Youye Wetland are Delia and Luo Meng! I haven't seen Delia for a long time. This time at Youye Wetland
, you must take me with you!"
"No, there are dangerous dragon inscriptions everywhere, and even Pagliu himself doesn't remember how many traps he has laid." Chen Rui shook his head firmly: "I am enough alone, you stay in the dark
Moon City."
Asina thought of the scene of obtaining the Devil Fruit in the rainy jungle, and her mood suddenly dropped: "You are afraid that I will drag you down."
"What are you talking about? I am my woman, there is nothing that can hinder me." Chen Rui held Athena's hand, "It's just that Delia once said to me that if you go to Youye Wetland, she
I will truly break off all relations with you. Besides, you have a more important thing to help me with, and no one can do it except you."
Athena blushed and tried to free her hand, but was held tightly by Chen Rui. Du Wulong showed no sign of a light bulb and looked at the two intimate people with interest.
With great difficulty, Athena was calmed down and asked: "What on earth is going on?"
Chen Rui shrugged and kissed the back of her hand: "As the future wife of the Sheriff, you have the right and obligation to exercise the powers of the Sheriff on your behalf."
Athena felt sweet when she heard the word "ma'am", but she was even more embarrassed by his show off behavior in front of the poisonous dragon, and almost threw her over her shoulder.
But there was a lightbulb dragon next to him who added inappropriately: "You continue, just pretend I don't exist."
