Master Kemp on the side gently touched Da Da, and the focused dark goblin master suddenly woke up. Only then did he notice Isabella's call and said to Shia: "I need a top-quality moonstone. If I can find it,
Come and give it to me, and I am willing to help you create three magic items of no less than excellence level."
Although the best moonstone is a very rare material, Master Xingxing's magic jewelry is considered to be at the top level in the entire demon world, and the promised magic items are guaranteed to be at least excellent level, which is absolutely worth it.
Accessories are different from weapons or armors. Due to their flexibility in size, they can better perform magic functions. Chen Rui has seen many of Kerstina's magic props, and they are all quite magical.
Shia frowned and said: "According to the classics, hundreds of years ago, moonstones appeared several times in the Dark Moon, and there were top-quality ones among them. However, there has been no news over the years. So, can the master in the dark moon...
If you stay for a while, I will immediately send someone to look for relevant information."
"Seven days at most." Da Da thought for a while, and after saying this, he continued to play with the crystals and ignored anyone again.
The best moonstone? Chen Rui thought of Grofen sneaking into the underground world just to absorb the power of the moonstone and alleviate the backlash of the God-Eating Mask. The sacrificed earth elemental man Doge once said that the underground of Xilang Mountain is a huge treasure house.
, in addition to the main vein of high-quality iron ore, it also contains rare mineral deposits such as moonstone, dark star iron, and bloody silver. The location of the moonstone deposit is in the Territory of the Earth.
If you want to obtain the three magic items made by Master Xingxing, it seems that you must go to the Realm of the Earth. However, it seems that Isabella and her gang are planning to stay in the Dark Moon. As the most important peace officer, I am afraid that
It would be difficult to escape, and taking into account the underground journey and mining time, seven days would probably not be enough.
Isabella solemnly said: "Okay, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, we can start to enter the topic. The appearance of the Beelzebub Royal Family made Her Royal Highness the Regent attach great importance to it, and the fragments of the God-Eating Mask were lost in the hands of the Eldest Princess.
Yes, it's hard to blame. As you know, I have a lot of matters to deal with in the Imperial City. I can't stay in Dark Moon for too long. I will follow Master Xingxing's time, seven days. Within seven days, I hope the eldest princess
Your Highness can give me a satisfactory answer so that I can go back and explain it to the Prince Regent."
Shia's eyes shone coldly, and she said coldly: "Mrs. Isabella, are you here to assist in the investigation? Or are you here to plead guilty? If it is to assist in the investigation, I am willing to cooperate with you. If it is to plead guilty, given your financial status,
The person you are asking is not qualified to do so."
Isabella didn't care at all about the contempt in Shia's question. She shook her head and said: "Your Highness is not only a lord, but also a royal family. You should know what the complete God-Eating Mask means, and the surname Beelzebub is very important to Dark Moon and Fallen Angels."
What does the empire mean? Not only did His Highness lose the fragments of the God-Eating Mask, but he was also unable to search for the whereabouts of the Beelzebub royal family. Shouldn't he accept the punishment he deserves? However, something unexpected happened, and His Highness Shia is a member of the royal family.
So it's just some symbolic punishment... If His Highness cannot give me a satisfactory answer within seven days, then starting from the next quarter, the food subsidy to Dark Moon from Chiyou Territory will be reduced by half."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present in Dark Moon changed their expressions, and whispered for a while, the land in Dark Moon is barren, and it is difficult to grow food. For thousands of years, food shortage has been a stubborn disease that cannot be solved, even in Dark Moon
In the most prosperous times, the source of food also relied on "improvement."
The Chiyou Territory is precisely aware of this, so it uses the name of "subsidy" to firmly strangle Dark Moon's lifeline. Now that Prince Hei Yao has cut off half of the food support with just one sentence, Dark Moon was originally
The very tense food problem will become more and more prominent, and widespread famine is likely to occur.
Can such cruel sanctions be called "symbolic" punishment?
Shia stood up slowly, her cold eyes burning with anger. Even the arrogant Sergey felt the terrible coldness radiating from Shia's body and did not dare to move for a moment.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, an untimely voice rang out: "Madam... may I ask, if Her Royal Highness the Princess can give a satisfactory answer within seven days, the food aid will not be reduced?"
The speaker was Chen Rui who stood up. When Shia heard Chen Rui's voice, her chill suddenly stopped. Isabella's eyes moved slightly and she looked at the weak human peace officer with interest: "
Mr. Sheriff, please accept my kind suggestion. You should re-learn etiquette. Your current wording and speech are very presumptuous for a beautiful lady. But I can answer your question, yes
."
"I'm sorry, I'm rude. I just took office not long ago and I don't understand anything." Chen Rui continued to scratch his head without etiquette. "Then according to Madam's wishes, the eldest princess has accepted the punishment now, and we will deal with Beelzebub's matter.
Don’t worry about it?”
"Shut up!" Old Ford of the Seifer family stood up and said coldly: "Chen Rui, you, an outsider, don't understand the importance of food to Dark Moon! If there is a large famine among the people, how can you pay for it?
Do you take this responsibility?"
Chen Rui also had a bad tone towards old Ford: "Mr. Ford seems to be more forgetful as he gets older. Didn't Joseph say it at the meeting? After he is re-elected as financial officer, he will increase the food aid by 30%, then he will still have to pay for it.
It’s 80%, and the food purchased from our Shadow Empire is almost enough!”
"Shut up!" Shia turned back and glared at Chen Rui, seeming to scold him for not leaking important information, but her eyes became firm: "In this case, the matter of Beelzebub will be left to a few people.
I am the special commissioner of the Imperial City. I believe that His Highness the Regent’s vision will definitely eliminate the empire’s greatest hidden danger. As you can see, Dark Moon’s affairs are very busy and I cannot entertain you for too long. So... I’ll wait for you in seven days.
I’m waiting for your answer, Lady Isabella. If you can’t give me a satisfactory answer, then I have the right to demand that the so-called symbolic punishment be withdrawn!”
Everyone in Dark Moon felt at ease, and all showed expressions of "That's it". Only Old Ford, who had "enemies" with Chen Rui, showed dissatisfaction. In fact, they admired the quick wit of this Sheriff who had saved his son's life.
Even if Joseph really comes up with 30% more, the actual total amount of food is less than 80%. As for the Shadow Empire's food purchase, it is pure fiction.
However, the Seifer family has achieved great success in the cultivation of meat over the years. Old Ford is partially aware of Shia's food plan. Dark Moon's current food umbrella should be unprecedentedly sufficient, and he is not afraid of this kind of food in the imperial capital.
Sanctions, but these are "secret weapons." They cannot be revealed for the time being.
Chen Rui's reckless intervention not only calmed people's hearts, but also enabled the eldest princess to take the initiative.
Isabella's emerald eyes glanced at Chen Rui, who was silent behind Shia, and she was secretly surprised. Originally, she had effectively damaged Dark Moon's morale, and threw a heavy burden at Shia, but she didn't expect anything from this.
The Sheriff, who knew how to deal with the situation, was not afraid of being scalded by the boiling water, but Shia seized the opportunity to treat him the same way, and threw the burden back again.
"Then, I want to question the eldest princess rudely..." Isabella stood up, and just when everyone thought she was going to make a sharp statement, she suddenly showed a charming smile: "I have always heard that Dark Moon is very hospitable.
, why haven’t we started preparing for the welcome dance after we’ve been here for so long?”
This sentence suddenly relaxed the atmosphere, and everyone smiled. Chen Rui secretly thought that this woman was very clever. He changed the topic with a joke and started a new round calmly.
Shia seemed to have forgotten the tit-for-tat polite discussion about the dinner and dance.
After the dinner, there was a regular welcome dance. Athena seemed to have gained further insights in terms of strength in the past two days. She has been in retreat at the lower level of the arena. The guards left Araux in charge of training, so she did not participate tonight.
.
Different from the last Master Challenge, although Chen Rui is still a powerless human being, he is no longer a corner figure that no one cares about. Several women have invited him to dance. The reason is of course the identity of the police officer. It is a pity that Chen Rui is not interested in this.
I was really not interested in this kind of activity, so I politely declined.
The dance party in the demon world has many fewer rules than humans and is very casual. Chen Rui slowly moved to an inconspicuous corner, picked up a glass of red fruit wine, and waited for this boring activity to end soon. The most popular person in the dance was Isabelle.
La, she had put on a black evening dress. Her elegant temperament exuded seductive charm. After dancing with Sergey, her butterfly-like dancing posture had attracted the attention of most people.
Eyeballs, people kept asking her to dance.
The sharp contrast is with Sia, who no one cares about. In fact, Sia's beauty is no less beautiful than Isabella, but everyone knows that she never accepts anyone's invitation, so no one wants to touch her.
"Hmph! You coquettish woman!" Alice's voice of dissatisfaction rang out from beside Chen Rui. It turned out that little Loli had been paying attention to Chen Rui, and finally walked away from her sister, and finally came to Chen Rui's house as she wished.
There is also a glass of wine secretly taken in his hand.
"Alice." Chen Rui snatched the wine glass from Little Loli's hand, "You can't drink."
Alice glared at him: "Humph..."
This loli suddenly thought of something and her expression changed as she glared at someone for making cakes. Her big eyes flashed brightly and she said obediently: "Brother, I listen to you. Can you dance with me?"
Chen Rui shook his head quickly: "I have never danced before, I really can't dance."
Not counting his previous life, he really hasn't danced since he was reborn, and this kind of court dance is very complicated, and he really doesn't know how to do it.
"Never skipped before?" Little Loli's eyes lit up, she came closer and whispered: "Then let's give it to Alice for my brother's first time!"
"Pfft!" Chen Rui spit out all his wine. This wording was too ambiguous!
Alice screamed, looking at the red wine splashed on her skirt, she was about to cry with grievance: "This is my favorite evening dress!"
"I'm sorry..." Chen Rui hurriedly put down the wine glass, and sure enough, he saw large red spots on Alice's yellow skirt, which could not be wiped off.
Ten minutes later, the little girl who pretended to cry was completely victorious, and Chen Rui, who was convinced, bravely appeared on the dance floor.
The court dance in the Demon Realm is somewhat similar to the two-person ballroom dance in the European courts in the 15th century. There is no hugging movement, but it is very complicated and has many rules. Chen Rui followed Alice and exchanged positions a few times, feeling confused. Just at this time, Yi
Sabella is already having her second dance with Sergey.
Sergei is obviously proficient in this art, and he skillfully changes his movements and dance steps. His graceful posture and handsome appearance attract the attention of many demon women around him. Of course, the most attractive one is the radiant Isabella.
Standing together, the two of them looked like a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they were definitely the focus of the entire dance.
In contrast, Chen Rui and Alice on the side became the contrast. Originally Alice was a good dancer, but because she had to cooperate and guide Chen Rui, she seemed very awkward. However, Little Loli was not angry and kept patiently dancing.
teach him.
Chen Rui accidentally bumped into the person behind him when he was changing positions. He apologized quickly and couldn't keep up with his subsequent movements.
Sergey saw this and deliberately pulled Isabella closer. He smiled contemptuously and said: "Country bumpkin, get out of here. The dance floor is not a place for scum like you."
Before Chen Rui could speak, Alice had already said angrily: "What a nuisance! I don't want you to worry about it!"
"The royal princess of the Dark Moon is nothing more than that. She can't even dance well." Sergey looked at Alice with disdain, and suddenly added maliciously: "Maybe it's because of the lack of discipline since childhood."
Alice's father, Prince Green, passed away a long time ago. This touched the injury of Little Loli, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she squeezed the hand that was holding Chen Rui's hand.
Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Sergey calmly. Chen Rui saw the sad look on the little girl's face and was secretly angry at Sergey's inferiority. He immediately retorted: "No wonder
The Ruth family has always been inferior to the Wells family, and it turns out they only bully girls."
"What are you talking about!" Sergey's father, Doron Rus, has always been ranked below Athena's father, General George, and is called the second general. Sergey is most taboo about others saying this, and he is furious.
Murderous intentions flourished.
"You still want to attack me, a powerless human being?" Chen Rui showed no fear, "Don't forget, this is a dance floor. If you don't want to dance, please leave."
"A country bumpkin like you is qualified to say the word 'dance?'" Sergey showed a sinister look, and with a change of heart, he stopped dancing, exerted his strength, and said loudly: "Everyone, please pause!"
Everyone immediately stopped dancing and the music stopped.
"Just now, the Sheriff said that he would let me experience a real palace pas de deux. I am looking forward to it." Sergey pointed at Chen Rui and said: "Now let us enjoy it together, the Sheriff and the little princess of the dark moon.
Your Highness’s beautiful dance.”
Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone had seen Chen Rui's level before. Sergey must have done this on purpose. Isabella still kept smiling, neither stopping nor encouraging. Sergey's methods were inferior, but
It would be nice to use this to humiliate Dark Moon.
