Along the way, Chen Rui learned from Delia that after Delia handled the affairs of Leia Town according to Christina's order last time, she had been worried about "Richard" who was taken away by the noble lady, but strangely
What's strange is that Christina seemed to have disappeared from the world, never returned to Laiya Town, and had no whereabouts.
Just when Delia returned to the Shadow Imperial City, her brother Bai Luo, the leader of the three shadow generals and the commander of the Blade Legion, took the initiative to write a letter to Queen Catherine in the border defense stronghold of Jergal Fortress. The reason was that Bai Luo was in the pursuit of the army.
When the scout disappeared, he had a conflict with the noble lady Christina. Bai Luo himself was assassinated by a mysterious man and was poisoned.
Bai Luo's wife is named Medilu, the daughter of Queen Catherine's uncle Ferenc. At that time, the Shadow Empire was in civil strife. Catherine's elder brother and younger brother fought for power and killed each other, causing constant wars. In critical moments, Caesar
Lin stepped forward and single-handedly quelled the rebellion, killing her brother Keberai with her own hands, and finally restored stability to the Shadow Empire. This battle was quite cruel. The Asmodeus royal family suffered heavy casualties and their vitality was severely damaged.
Ci is Catherine's most powerful supporter and her most trusted direct force.
Catherine became queen and handed over the general power to Ferenc. Later, Bailuo married Medilu. Relying on this relationship, he gradually began to rise to power. Coupled with his own strength and outstanding military talents, he replaced the "retired"
Ferenc's position became the first of the three generals of the empire, and he had great appeal in the army.
Queen Catherine did not accept Bai Luo's initiative to "please apologize". Instead, she pointed out that Christina had mishandled the matter and promised to give her internal punishment within the royal family, ordering Christina to stay in the forbidden palace to reflect on her mistakes and not to go out. Queen Catherine
He also invited Angel Gillette, the president of the Apothecary Alliance, to personally go to Yerkol Fortress to treat Bai Luo, and commended the members of the Blade Legion who had guarded Yerkol Fortress for many years. The morale of the army was high, and they shouted long live the Queen.
Christina was grounded and was not allowed to have contact with any outsiders. Delia tried very hard to find out the news about "Richard" who was taken away by the noble lady. It was only now that she saw Chen Rui that she felt relieved.
Chen Rui frowned when he heard this. It was clearly Bai Luo who wanted to get rid of Christina ambitiously, but he became a meritorious official and was comforted and rewarded. However, Christina survived the disaster but was placed under house arrest.
With the wisdom of Queen Catherine, she would never fail to see Bai Luo's ambitions and intentions. This appeasement method is nothing more than a check and balance, but it is too unfair to Christina. Since she is imprisoned in the forbidden palace, then even if
Now it is difficult to go to the Shadow Imperial Capital to see her.
Chen Rui took a deep breath. Now he was not qualified to go to her openly. Just like the same line said, let's talk about the future in the future.
Chen Rui also noticed a detail. When Bai Luo, his biological brother, was mentioned, Delia's eyes seemed unnatural. This was probably related to the fact that Bai Luo forced her to marry the old and immortal finance minister three years ago.
The three of them all moved very fast, and Luo Meng, who had fought with Chen Rui, was just paying it forward. Delia saw that this "Richard" who only showed the aura of a high-level demon could easily keep up with her and Luo Meng.
, I was secretly surprised. Last time due to the golden crystal magic lock, I was unable to see the true power of this Richard. Now it seems that he is probably at the same level as her. No wonder he was able to use secret techniques to counterattack the Eyes of Nightmare.
In fact, the last time Delia met Chen Rui, Chen Rui was really only at the level of a high-level demon.
Along the way, many plants have withered and water sources have dried up. The further we go, the more serious this phenomenon becomes.
"Delia, was there such a change when you came last time?" Chen Rui pointed to the surrounding environment.
Delia recalled it and replied: "Yes, but it doesn't seem to be as serious as it is now. It may have something to do with the magic circle of the treasure."
Chen Rui thought of the pond that was drying up in the Flying Dragon's lair and the poisonous pond in the Hydra's lair, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. He was already quite familiar with the dragon language inscriptions. Based on the characteristics of the inscriptions, this should not happen.
It’s a “symptom” that gets worse and worse as time goes by.
It's all because of the forgetful poisonous dragon. His memory is not good. After sleeping for more than two thousand years, he can't remember many things. Let alone the specific layout of the complex inscription traps. Even if it is a treasure, he only remembers that it was in a place.
It's just "in a relatively large hole".
A special interference force begins to appear in front. Under this force, props such as the magic map and the magic eye compass can no longer be used. Judging from the general direction of the previous map, it should be possible to determine the treasure location Delia mentioned.
It's the same place as Pagliu's Treasure.
After a day and a night, the three finally arrived at their destination.
From a distance, this is a very common wetland jungle, with a lot of fog floating around, making the scene blurry. But the strange thing is that this jungle does not wither like the plants along the way, but remains lush and appears
Very weird.
There were not just the three of them at the edge of the jungle, there were others.
Pagliu has been sealed for more than two thousand years. Over the past two thousand years, more and more people have discovered the anomalies in this jungle, and some people have discovered treasures in the areas near the jungle from time to time. Like Delia, these people have also found out
In spite of the law that "protective magic" will be weakened every three years, come here to hunt for treasures.
Among these people, there are two who are the most powerful. One is the Asmodeus royal family and the first stage of the great devil. He leads a team of about ten people. The group size is the largest among this group of treasure hunters.
The other one is a single person, a mature woman with a strong mid-section of a demon king. The analytical eye shows that she is a greedy royal family.
The Greedy Royal Family - whose surname is "Mamen", is the ruling class of the Blood Evil Empire, and is currently the strongest man in the demon world, Lei Chan. Mamen is the most representative figure of the Greedy clan.
In addition, there are some teams and individuals, most of which have demon king-level combat capabilities.
It seems that this treasure has attracted many powerful people. What caught Chen Rui's attention most was not the two big demon kings, but a single guy. This man was of medium build and wore a cloak, covering his face. In the eyes of analysis,
This person's overall strength rating is C, a middle-level devil, but his race prompt is: Great Devil (Mutation) (Corpse Puppet).
Corpse puppet? Chen Rui has never heard of this term, but if you understand it literally, it is likely to be some kind of puppet that is controlled. Then the controller may be among these people, or he may be hiding in the dark, waiting for some yellow person.
The timing of launching the bird behind.
There were several corpses on the ground. They seemed to have died not long ago. They were probably treasure hunters and were killed in some kind of conflict.
As soon as Chen Rui and the others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of these people, with hostility and murderous intent faintly visible in their eyes. The three men immediately secretly mobilized their strength and were ready to fight at any time. None of them were good men and women here. Everyone wanted the treasure, and the competitors were naturally
The less the better.
The first-stage demon king of the Asmodeus royal family spoke: "Many of the people here are familiar faces. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Casillas, from the Asmodeus royal family. Everyone who is here today must be
For the things in the jungle. I believe everyone knows that there are a lot of terrible magic traps and traps in the jungle. If you are not careful, you will be dead. Now you have not seen the shadow of the treasure and you have started fighting to the death. There is no any
Meaning. I have a suggestion. We should work together to break these magic traps first. As long as we find the real treasure location, then everyone can fight to the best of their ability to decide who owns the treasure. What do you think?"
Casillas' team has the strongest overall strength. This suggestion was approved by many people. Casillas is actually more afraid of the woman with the strength of the devil in the middle. If these people fight first,
Even with the help of his teammates, he was not sure of defeating the opponent.
Besides, it's really not worth it to start a fight without even seeing the edge of the treasure. It's better to use the power of others to crack the trap and minimize your own consumption. Then you can find an opportunity to plot against the big devil in the middle section. As long as you get rid of it.
This most troublesome opponent, who else can compete with the strength of his team?
Those who agreed to cooperate also had their own calculations. Most of them were concerned about Casillas' team strength. The strongest woman thought about it and expressed her agreement. He is the strongest individual here, so he just needs to save his strength until he meets her.
Use your strength again when you find treasure.
Chen Rui also voted in favor, and everyone introduced each other. Chen Rui used the name of Richard, Lomon was still the pseudonym of Lennon, and Delia also gave the pseudonym of Nicole. Although Cass
Lias is from the Asimode royal family, but he does not know that the veiled Nicole is the famous "Mrs. Spider" in the imperial capital. The great devil woman of the Mammon royal family calls herself Akui, which has attracted Chen Rui's attention.
The corpse puppet announced his name as Hart, and his voice was somewhat sinister.
Casillas' cooperation proposal is: move forward together, and each team or individual takes turns to crack the traps along the way. If they cannot crack the traps, they must explore the location and properties of the traps. Whoever dares to evade responsibility or retreat will become a public target.
Enemies. Anyone who disagrees must leave in advance now. If they are found secretly following us during the march and take advantage of the situation without doing anything, they will be killed without mercy.
As soon as these words came out, several guys with ulterior motives were dumbfounded. These people also wanted to use Casillas' team to break the trap. They had a big tree behind them for shade, so they just followed behind to look for opportunities. Now they plan to completely
Failed.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. People without abilities are naturally not qualified to hunt for treasures.
After the cooperation proposal was unanimously approved, everyone seemed to be less hostile and the atmosphere became more harmonious. However, everyone knew that this temporary peace was quite fragile and could not last long. Once something happened, they would immediately turn against each other and become mortal enemies.
"I have a very fair method." Casillas spoke, and a special magic item appeared in his hand.
