Chen Ruilu looked surprised: "Old Gauss is missing?"
Shia showed a heavy look and nodded: "This is the urgent message I received two days ago from Jia returning to the imperial capital from the shadows." [bsp; "Jia went to the shadows to return to the imperial capital?" Chen Rui was surprised again, no wonder he didn't see her.
The thing is, when General George came to Dark Moon last time, he rescued a young man. He was the eldest son and first heir of the Custer family, the first business family in the Shadow Return Empire, named Dio. Because of the family feud, he was plotted and almost died. When he was escaping, he met General George and was rescued. Shia and George's plan is to support Dio's return to power, which will be a huge boost to the economic development of Dark Moon.
While Chen Rui was in a coma, Shia sent her right-hand assistant, Old Goss, to accompany Dio back to the shadows and back to the imperial capital to help him regain control of the family. Jia was also among those accompanying him this time.
The reason is that Dio saw Jia by chance and was so shocked that he couldn't extricate himself. The eldest young man, who always prides himself on being a romantic, is determined to impress the beautiful succubus with his diligence and infatuation, but he fails. After repeated failures, Dio still did not give up after learning that the succubus who had overturned all sentient beings was actually the maid of Sheriff Chen Rui. He made a request to the eldest princess and asked Jia to accompany him back to the shadows and back to the imperial capital.
Taking into account Chen Rui's current situation and being unable to detect Jia's secret, Shia agreed to Dio's request, and Jia, Lao Goss and Dio returned to China together.
However, Shia also explained that this time Jia was accompanying Old Goss as an assistant. If Dio could really successfully control the Custer family, then he could consider asking Sheriff Chen Rui to agree to transfer Jia to Dio.
This promise is a bit watery, because Chen Rui was still in a coma at the time. If he hadn't woken up, even if Dio really took control of the family, without Chen Rui's approval, Jia would still be the Sheriff's maid.
Xia noticed Chen Rui's displeasure and frowned slightly: "Why, you can't bear to part with this beautiful and lovely maid?"
"This 'beautiful and charming' Jia is clearly a task forced upon me by Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chen Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head. However, there seemed to be a little bit of sourness in Jia's words just now. What a woman!
In fact, it is too common in the demon world to give away servants and maids. Chen Rui took over Jia from Alice before, not to mention it was out of such political needs. To be honest, Chen Rui did have some feelings in his heart. It’s not a taste. After spending so long with Jia, the little care at the beginning has been basically worn away, leaving only a friendship similar to friends. At least until some kind of truth is revealed, the two of them are still friends’ masters and servants. relation.
Now that Shia "trades" her to others like goods, it is undoubtedly a blow to men's possessive desire to look back.
Finally, Shia took into account Chen Rui's power (feelings) and gave Jiya directly to Dio without using the lord's special right of return, just in the name of an assistant.
On the surface, Old Goss's strength is that of a high-level evil demon. In fact, she can use secret techniques to upgrade to the Demon King level. She is also very resourceful. Without the support of Old Goss, she would not have been able to control the Dark Moon so quickly. Originally, Old Goss was in charge of food. Back at the base, Shia sent out this ace card because the Custer family was at stake. Unexpectedly, she was unable to achieve her goal, and she also mysteriously disappeared.
Chen Rui thought about it for a while and said, "This time, let me go to the shadows and return to the imperial capital."
"No!" Shia immediately rejected the request. What she was worried about was not Chen Rui's ability, but his safety.
"The imperial capital's sanctions have not been as effective as they should be. Now we should keep a close eye on Dark Moon. My awakening this time has not been made public. To the outside world, I am still unconscious, so I can hide in the dark to carry out this matter." thing."
"It's too dangerous, you don't even have the power to protect yourself." Shia shook her head, and Chen Rui woke up from the coma. He couldn't let the shadow capital become more dangerous and unpredictable.
"Both Araux and Agulie have now broken through to the Demon King level. Araucus will stay to take care of the cloak society and help Athena train the guards. Agulie can protect me and play the role of the power of inheritance. Next, I should have the strength of a low-level evil demon..." Chen Rui nodded: "Not only this, but I also plan to go to the most important part of the plan in person! Although Dark Moon has recovered now There are signs, but in fact we have reached a critical moment, and the Imperial City will use more means to suppress and impose sanctions. If we continue to be passive like this, even if we can barely support it, our failure will only be a matter of time!"
"Are you going in person?" Shia was shocked. That is the most dangerous part. It may never be restored at any time, and Dark Moon cannot provide any help at all.
In the demon world, the Demon King level has just entered the threshold of strength. Unless it reaches the strength of the high-level Demon King or Demon Emperor, it cannot be considered a real strong person. As for the strength of the "low-level Demon King", it is purely just a joke.
As everyone knows, the so-called low level of evil, Zi Shao is equivalent to the Great Demon King.
"Only by taking a risk can we truly grasp the key points of turning defeat into victory." Chen Rui's attitude was very determined, "There is no more suitable candidate except me. I have already decided."
This tough tone did not make Shia unhappy. On the contrary, her heart fluctuated for a while. After a long time, she sighed softly: "You don't need to do this."
This sentence is a pun. In fact, Shia herself understands that with Chen Rui's intelligence, coupled with beast control skills, master-level casting and armor-making skills, there is no need to take such a huge risk for Dark Moon. Even He said that he could leave the precarious Dark Moon and join a stronger and safer force.
Why do you want to stay and carry out such a dangerous plan personally?
"I promised General George to fully assist Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chen Ji shrugged, "As a person like me, I will do what I promised."
Just for this reason? Just because of the promise to Athena...father?
Shia felt a little unhappy for no apparent reason: "Then, I agree to your request."
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she first summoned Chen Rui in the palace garden. If those words were said again now...
At that time, he was just a human being who was looked down upon by everyone and had no power or should be called unappreciated...
At that time, she only regarded him as a tool that could play a role in the territory...
At that time, he and Athena just knew each other...
This human being once said that life is a one-way ticket with no way out and no return trip.
Although she didn't understand some things, she understood everything she needed to know.
Even though he was in coma, he still heard the "order" in front of the hospital bed: but, did he know about those tears?
From that moment on, Shia vaguely understood something deep in her heart, something she shouldn't have.
"If..." Shia suddenly said two words. As soon as the words came out, she regretted them and did not continue.
"If it hadn't been for General George's request." Chen Rui answered tacitly and smiled, "I would have done the same."
The dissatisfaction in Shia's heart was instantly replaced by a strange sense of relief, and her tone became even more unkind: "Humph! This was originally your plan! Instead of just talking nonsense here, it's better to think carefully about how to proceed with the plan. !”
"The plan can't keep up with the changes. That aspect needs to be carefully considered. As for the Custer family... I'll wait until I go to the shadows and return to the imperial capital to see the situation."
Although the eldest princess's voice was cold, the little surprise that flashed in her purple eyes was not hidden from the Sheriff who had reached the level of the Great Demon King. He chuckled: "If I come back with great achievements this time, I don't know if I come back, eldest princess." Can Your Highness agree to a condition that is not too excessive?"
"You have gone too far now!" Shia knew as soon as she saw that hateful smile that this guy was not well-intentioned, "Don't forget that I am the lord!"
What about the lord? What about the princess? Your Highness may not know that your sister’s collection contains a lot of ambiguous stories about female bosses and male employees. Of course, such words can only be found in Just talking in my heart.
"Even if I use my appearance to ask for a reward for my merits! Is the eldest princess really unwilling to agree to such a small... not excessive condition after I risked my life to complete that almost impossible task?"
"Don't get too proud too early!" Shia's teeth were itching with hatred: "Rewards or something... we'll talk about it later!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Sheriff's face suddenly became brighter, but the almost evil look in his eyes was awkward no matter how you looked at it.
Will there be any rewards in the future?
A guy whose thoughts had evolved to an "impure" state felt his mouth go dry for a while.
No, we are supposed to be a very pure otaku, it must be Luo Meng, the one who is close to the ink is the black! After being in contact with him for a long time, he naturally became obscene. I will reveal some of that to Delia later. Let the evil evil king's eyes tremble under the eyes of nightmare!
Shia frowned: "What, is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Chen Rui shook his head quickly. It is estimated that once this sentence is explained clearly, he will be killed by Xia to the point where nothing is left.
"In that case, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Chen Rui bowed politely and said seriously, as if he were a submissive minister: "Then I will treat it as your Highness's agreement, including the 'just' one last time. Wu, I believe that when I come back, it will be the time for the great plan to reap the rewards."
Great plan? Harvest?
What a double-entendre bastard! What exactly do you want to achieve with this damn plan?
Shia finally couldn't control her emotions and glared at Chen Rui angrily. Looking at that situation, she wished she could burn a smiling face into a skeleton with the fire of light and darkness.
…
After opening the palace, Chen Rui was still recalling the angry expression on Leng Meihui's face. Compared with the coldness that usually kept people away from thousands of miles away, he liked this expression better. Next time, if it turns into a smile Even better.
The next stop will be the return of Shadow Emperor to his country. Chen Rui stopped and looked up at the night sky. Behind the purple moons, there were bright stars.
That woman's eyes are just like the beautiful starry sky.
In an instant, scenes of past events that had been buried deep in my heart appeared involuntarily in my mind.
