The next day, the inner city of the Shadow Empire, the royal palace.
Chen Rui wore a master-level toolmaker's robe, with a gold-rimmed double-moon badge on his chest. He arrived in front of the palace and handed the pass token given to him by Catherine the Great last time to the guard at the gate.
The guards showed considerable respect for this master of tool making who was the first master of three series in the demon world for thousands of years. After receiving the token, a veiled palace maid led Chen Rui into the palace.
The palace, which symbolizes the highest authority of the Shadow Empire, is not as luxurious as imagined. The overall feeling is simple yet grand, and exquisite art can be seen in the details.
The palace was quite large and had quite complex mazes, far beyond the small palace of Dark Moon. The palace maid led Chen Rui around left and right for nearly an hour, and finally reached a secluded courtyard.
"Master, please come in, your lady will be here shortly." The maid bowed and retreated.
Chen Rui calmed down and walked into the courtyard.
This is a quiet courtyard with many plants and trees, which are full of green. Perhaps affected by the power of Nirvana, these plants are much more lush than ordinary ones. Chen Rui gently stroked the trees and thought of the Nirvana in him.
Pan Zhihuo, thinking of the fiery blood that merged into the body at that time, thinking of the other fusion in the tent...
On the road to Youye Wetland, the talent and temperament of the "noble girl" had begun to attract him. Later, an unexpected incident in Feilong's lair caused the relationship between the two to skip the process and go straight to the end. Chen Rui admitted that he was a superficial man, and Christie
Na's perfect appearance and body could not dissuade him. In order to protect the woman he was attracted to, who was also his first woman, Chen Rui faced the Demon King-level Bai Luo. Thinking about it now, it was indeed impulsive. (The color makes Zhi faint.
?)
When she was about to die, Christina, who was supposed to kill him, accidentally gave him her precious Nirvana blood. Perhaps this was just an impulse, but it made the red piccolo truly stay in Chen's mind.
Rui's heart.
Whenever the fire of Nirvana was ignited in his body, he couldn't help but think of her, the woman who claimed that they didn't owe each other anything and would want his life next time, and wanted to see her again.
Now that this wish is about to come true, I feel an indescribable feeling in my heart, anticipation, uneasiness, apprehension... I can't describe it with accurate words.
Race: Desire Royal Family (Mutation). Comprehensive strength assessment: a.
Physique a, strength a, spirit a, agility a.
The data that suddenly appeared in the Analytical Eye made Chen Rui's hands tremble and he slowly turned around.
There is already one more person in the yard.
He is still wearing a classical-style robe, with perfect body proportions, long black hair tied up, and a hazy veil on his face, exuding a noble and mysterious temperament.
Sure enough it was her.
Chen Rui felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. He suppressed the excitement in his mind, turned around, and bowed slightly: "Is this your lady Christina? I am Arthur, and a friend has entrusted me to bring something to you.
"
Christina didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, her quiet gaze behind the veil seemed to penetrate his disguise.
Chen Rui felt inexplicably nervous, so he immediately took out a few bottles of potions from the storage ring and placed them on the stone table nearby.
"These four bottles are eternity potions. You must take them all. They will have additional special effects. This bottle is a resurrection potion, and this bottle is a life extension potion."
These six bottles of black potion, which represented the highest achievement in pharmacy, were enough to shock the entire demon world. Christina just glanced at them lightly and returned her gaze to Chen Rui.
After a long time, he finally spoke, still with the unwavering tranquility in his memory: "Is there eternity in the world?"
This question stunned Chen Rui. Just as he was trying to figure out the purpose of her question, Christina's voice rang again: "Answer me seriously."
Chen Rui thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, even the bright stars or the twin moons in the demon world will eventually be annihilated. Whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years of life, it is actually just a moment.
Precisely because there is no eternity, we should cherish the moment more."
"The moment of youth," Christina nodded slightly, metaphorizing the artistic conception of his legendary bracelet, "The youth of life is so short. As time goes by, no matter how immortal the existence is, it will eventually decay and become ashes. No matter how profound the memory is,
It’s the same thing, do you understand?”
Chen Rui frowned and said, "What your lady said makes sense, but... I still don't quite understand."
"You should understand." Christina looked directly at him deeply, "There are some things that you think you will never forget, but one day, they will be forgotten in the process of you never forgetting them. Even if you don't understand now, you will definitely in the future.
You will understand."
Chen Rui sighed: "Some things... time cannot take them away. Even if life is annihilated, the mark will still exist."
"Persistence in the wrong place...it's just stupidity. It seems that your stupidity is hopeless." Christina shook her head: "So since you came here today, have you already realized the consciousness of death?"
"My disguise really failed." Chen Rui didn't know that his identity had been revealed by Christina, so he smiled bitterly, "It seems that no matter what image I use, I can't get rid of the adjective stupid."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint murderous aura surrounded him. Although the aura was very light, the terrifying power contained in it made him almost unable to move.
Christina's voice turned cold: "Stupidity is the biggest reason for your death. For the sake of the black potion, I will give you time to confess your last words."
Chen Rui did not panic. This was due to the fact that he was tested by the murderous intention of the eldest princess in Darkmoon City. Although Christina's murderous intention was terrifying, Chen Rui, who had experienced hundreds of battles, felt it keenly.
The murderous intention is not particularly strong, otherwise when you first recognize him, you will be struck with thunder, and it is impossible to talk nonsense with him for a long time.
Chen Rui will not be so narcissistic that he thinks he conquered Christina after having sex with her last time, or that he fell in love with him wholeheartedly.
This noble lady must have many concerns about being unable to kill: for example, she is a three-series proficient toolmaker who has joined the Shadow Empire's toolmaker alliance; for example, the highest level of black potion; and for example, Master "Arthur" was approved by the Queen to enter in public.
In the palace, if there is any accident, it is difficult to explain to the public or the Queen, etc. There may be some other reason why he is looking forward to it.
Although the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light, this murderous intention may still be struck by lightning if you are unlucky. I heard that Li Yuanba Nawa was complaining to the sky, but he won the lottery and was struck by lightning. Although this story is purely fictional, it cannot be ignored.
Be careful, if you copy lines such as "There was once a true love in front of you", I'm afraid it will really become your last words.
"I thought I was enough to make the devil world tremble, so I came to the Shadow Empire and wanted to see you. Unfortunately, it's still not enough."
Chen Rui's meaningless words made Christina's murderous intention fluctuate slightly, because in Youye Wetland,
He once said that the country would come to the Shadow Empire to take her away with a power that would make the entire demon world tremble.
At that time, she only thought that these words were just a lie to get something cheap and be good, but now... this man has really made the devil world tremble, not counting the three-series proficient tool-making master who is rare to meet in ten thousand years, and the lost grandmaster level.
Black potion, and the highest level!
He deliberately stole the show in the weapon maker competition, and even made a request to the Queen in front of everyone, just to see her?
Also, "hand over" six bottles of precious black potion to her?
Sure enough, he is still the same stupid guy.
"Although I don't know where your black potion comes from," these are not enough to affect Christina's will, and her calm eyes remain unchanged: "But... even if you become a true master, it is still not enough to change something.
unless……"
"Unless there is power? In your eyes...there is only power?" Chen Rui couldn't help but ask, this was a question from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that I only have power in my eyes, but I must have power in my eyes!" Christina's tone was firm: "Have you ever seen countless homes destroyed by war? A prosperous and beautiful home, just for a moment
In the blink of an eye, it turned into thousands of miles of scorched earth, and people were displaced and homeless! Have you ever heard countless civilians crying in the killing? The death scythe of war, ignoring the cries and prayers of blood, ruthlessly harvested large areas of innocent people
life! I have personally experienced this scene of blood and crying everywhere, as if it was yesterday! The shadow empire is becoming more and more prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is no power, how can we maintain this hard-won peace and tranquility? "
The more Christina spoke, the more powerful she became. In her analytical eyes, the numerical values began to change. The overall strength was: a...a+...unable to judge.
It is indeed the Demon Emperor level!
"If your obsession is to protect a certain woman or women, then my obsession is to protect thousands of people who have various obsessions and dreams, and to protect their dreams and persistence. This is my biggest obsession,
Compared with this, everything else becomes insignificant. Do you understand?"
Chen Rui looked at Christina, as if it was the first time he looked at this woman so seriously. Christina and Shia were actually very similar, but the difference was that Christina's persistence was stronger, her faith was firmer and unshakable.
Strength is born for responsibility.
It's not pure responsibility, but true persistence. Shia has no comparison in this regard.
For this persistence, she must have sacrificed a lot and given up a lot.
A sudden strange emotion had replaced the originally planned lines at some point. Chen Rui suddenly smiled, ignoring the murderous intent: "I understand, it turns out you are also a stupid woman."
If it was Shia, she would definitely scold him for being rude. Christina just glanced at him lightly and said without denying: "It's good to understand, but my stupidity is different from yours."
"Essentially they are the same." Chen Rui shrugged: "I originally thought this trip was a bit impulsive, but now it seems that it is well worth it."
Christina originally said so much, just telling him that it is impossible for two people to be together. She frowned when she heard this: "You stubborn guy who doesn't regret it, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
"I really didn't do enough, far from enough. So I can't die... so I have to beg for mercy." Chen Rui's determined smile showed no trace of fear or begging for mercy. "There is an important piece of information that should make my life better."
I’ll leave my last words until next time to express my feelings.”
Kristina ignored his language tricks and asked: "What information?"
"Can you let go of your murderous aura first? It's too uncomfortable to talk like this."
"That's it!"
This is suspected of deliberately harassing people, and it must be "retaliation for personal gain", but it has a bit of a womanly taste. (To be continued)
