The next day, the townspeople of Yankou Town got a piece of good news, a piece of bad news, and another piece of news that might be good or bad.
The good news is that the remnant
The mayor of ào'ergun finally accidentally died in the hands of Wang Lingbiological creature. The bad news is that due to the ancient battlefield, the Yankou Town area has been eroded by the evil spirit and the king's strange power, and has become a cursed place.
fǎ live again.
The last news is that the Lord Princess of Darkmoon City ordered the magic formation to be used to seal Yankou Town to prevent the cursed land from further spreading. The original townspeople moved collectively to Soto Town further south, and each household was given a
Appropriate compensation. Although many people are unwilling to leave their homes, because Yankou Town has been haunted by "ghosts." In addition to the curse relationship caused by the Wangling creature, there is no choice but to leave.[]
Mayor Shi Ke must be severely punished. Since Shi Ke is backed by the Seifer family, in order to avoid possible internal conflicts, the Wang Ling Disaster was used to give him an opportunity to "die in the line of duty."
In fact, Chen Rui kept his promise and handed over Shi Ke to Gu Lazhidam. It was definitely not Shi Ke.
Experimental product of ào technique
After receiving the summons from Chen Rui, Old Goss immediately arranged for the corresponding manpower and transport of monsters to come to assist, and made preparations for the settlement of Soto Town in advance. Athena also mobilized more guards to maintain safety and order.
The migration work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Judging from the news from Old Gauss, the eldest princess and her party will soon return to Darkmoon City, accompanied by Jia. Thinking of Jia, Chen Rui's original thoughts turned into a heavy one. Freya's
Things have been weighing on his mind. What should come will eventually come, so he should think about how to comfort her.
After the townspeople completely left Yankou Town, Chen Rui and Pagli Wu began the work of "sealing". In fact, they set up dragon language inscriptions and magic arrays to isolate the corresponding areas of Yankou Town to avoid outsiders.
Entered and repaired the originally destroyed Bone Altar, helping Gulladham speed up the recovery of soul essence.
Since the matter of Gulagdam involves many secrets such as Du Piao Astronomy Web Dragon, it is not appropriate to report it to Shia for the time being. Therefore, the jade ice crystal mine in Yankou Town should be sealed up first, and it will not be fully recovered until Gulagdam's soul is released.
Let’s wait until the energy is fully recovered. Chen Rui’s request for Gu Lazhidam is very simple. He will not disturb him on weekdays, and he will support his experiment as much as possible without damaging the general interests of the territory and civilians. Once the witch is needed, he will
When the time comes, you must go all out.
If the power of the king spirit in the ancient battlefield can be fully utilized, then Gulladham will be able to create a terrifying king spirit army that can rival the power of the entire Dark Moon Territory, plus the power of the king spirit demon army.
, is definitely a powerful secret weapon.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of something. He had the tauren and Medusa tribes of Xilang Mountain in his hands, the West Road Defense Force in Tim's hands, the Jun of the Earth Elemental Human Alliance, and the Cloak Society. In addition, it was now worthy of its name.
With the help of his subordinates such as King Ling of Guladam, plus the help of Pagliwu, Luo Meng, and Delia, this strength is quite powerful even for a lord of a large territory. If he wants to
If so, replacing Shia as the lord of the Dark Moon with absolute superiority in force seems like... not very difficult?
However, Chen Rui didn't want to do such a laborious and boring thing. He saw Shia's hard work and pressure. Sometimes, the invisible battlefield is more terrifying than a real life-and-death battle. You don't even Know when the "comrades" behind you will attack you. For example, in the Lanrong Territory, there is a white-eyed wolf who calls you Gege in his mouth and modifies his hands, and always pretends to be a good person and attacks you behind the scenes.
If he was really passionate about the power of the spring, he would have planned to return to the surface world. The Jinyao territory was the richest territory of the Longhuang Empire. He, the third prince, was a legitimate and true lord, and he might be able to defeat the others. Brothers and sisters, they have ascended the throne. Now hiding in the dark and helping Shia with her plans is the limit of what he can do. Besides, there is still something unclear between the eldest princess and him... .
After arranging a series of resettlement work, Chen Rui, Athena and Pagliwu returned to Darkmoon City. Old Goss told Chen Rui that Shia had returned and was waiting for him in the garden behind the palace.
Chen Rui disguised himself as a follower and followed Old Gauss into the palace smoothly. Old Gauss took him to the inner courtyard and the back garden, and then bowed to leave.
Shia was still wearing her customary long white dress. Looking at this strange big demon, she was a little surprised at first, and then she suddenly revealed: "This is the genius weapon maker in the demon world? The grand master. In our inheritance, there is such a wonderful transformation technique."
"This face is not that of a master...".
Chen Rui did not explain the inheritance of the great master. His original intention was this excuse. Now that Shia took the initiative to think so, he naturally saved a lot of effort. His face changed again and turned into the appearance of a "master": "This is , However, the whereabouts of this master are currently unknown, and there is a high probability that he encountered something unexpected."
Shia nodded, and did not say more in this regard, nor did she mention the topic of the genius master of the demon world. She said directly: "This time I went to visit the Bai Ling territory, and Lord Sikali gave me a gift before leaving. As a gift, there were many luxuries, such as special decorative crystals, colorful feathers, high-quality silk clothing, etc. There were also a group of goblin and horned devil craftsmen who were good at construction, saying they were going to help Dark Moon repair the dilapidated palace. .”
Chen Rui shook his head and said: "This gift is more like a gift to the eldest princess than to the Dark Moon territory. Luxury goods cannot alleviate Dark Moon's current real food shortage problem. On the contrary, those craftsmen will increase Dark Moon's original Just the tight food load. Of course, if Dark Moon is only so difficult on the surface... I suspect that Xikali's move is a test. He wants to find out the true bottom line of Dark Moon. He does not rule out the possibility of obtaining the imperial capital's secrets behind the scenes. Instruction, or pressure.”
The so-called friendship in the government mainly refers to interests and purpose. It is very likely that at some point, when interests change or the purpose cannot be achieved, it is not surprising that they will turn against each other and become enemies.
There are still very few people who are really like General George Jun who stubbornly support Shia, a weak force, because of some kind of kindness and justice. In fact, Chen Rui knows that even his father-in-law has once wavered. , so General George just asked him to help Shia with all his strength once, without forcing him and Athena to be tied up in this precarious place.
Respect the strong, this is the simplest and biggest rule. You cannot place your hopes on others, you can only rely on yourself.
This is true for individuals, and it is true for the entire territory.
"You are right." Shia nodded, "By the way, Sikali seems to be quite interested in Jia I brought."
Chen Rui frowned, and his impression of Xikali became even worse. He heard Shia say: "Originally, I should have given Jiya to Xikali as a gift in return, but I was afraid of a certain genius master.
When I returned, I couldn't see his maid and I felt resentful, so I gave Lord Sikali a set of gifts made by Princess Workshop instead."
Last time when Shia told Chen Rui that Dio sent her to the Custer family because of Dio's interest in Shia, Chen Rui's eyes showed faint displeasure, and naturally he would not repeat the same mistake this time.
"I'm almost clear about Jiya's affairs." Chen Rui sighed softly, "She shouldn't be any threat now, and the Jin magic ring can be removed."
"She is your maid, and it is up to you to handle her." Shia's tone was quite indifferent.
Chen Rui did not stop at this issue and said: "This time I obtained the transformation technique passed down by the great master. The key plan has been completed. Given the current situation, it must be implemented as soon as possible. I plan to go there myself."
Shia sighed, "As a lord, and also the biggest beneficiary of this plan, I don't want to say anything hypocritical. But..., you have been taking personal risks since Xilang Mountain. This is obviously not the case."
The work of a wise man."
"I have never said that I am a wise man. I am also afraid of Si, but this matter is the most critical part of our entire plan. No one except me is qualified for this role. And..., I have decided
Already." Chen Rui's tone was unquestionable and firm, as if he was the lord. However, this almost over-the-top firmness did not disgust Shia. Instead, the ice and snow in his purple eyes began to melt.
"By the way, I remember... when the curtain opened last time, Her Royal Highness the Princess seemed to have returned due to the issue of the Custer family of the astronomical empire. Will she agree to my small request?" Chen Rui saw that the atmosphere seemed to be
He was a little frozen, his tone of voice changed, and his eyes became a little weird.
This look made Shia feel inexplicably nervous: "We will discuss this issue later... Mr. Security Officer, it's getting late, you can go back and rest now."
"Let's talk about it later?" Chen Rui's eyes twitched with ambiguity, and then he shook his head, "That's too far away, we are still before tomorrow..., uh, let's talk about this important issue now. I will soon
I am going to carry out the most dangerous thing. If the lord breaks his word like this, it will seriously hurt my enthusiasm."
"Bold!" Shia's tone became sharp and angry: "How dare you threaten me!"
This reaction seemed a bit too drastic, but unfortunately Chen Rui had given up on this trick and sighed: "Your Highness also knows the danger of my trip, and I will probably not be able to come back. Could it be that he can't even satisfy my last wish?"
"Stop.!" Shia stared at this guy's eyes full of anger, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "In addition to the dance I originally promised, if there are any other messy requests, now
Just your last moments!"
Chen Ruilu showed a look of astonishment: "What a messy request, it's just that dance... Princess, why don't you pay me back?"..."
Shia knew that she had fallen into another verbal trap and was about to have a seizure when she saw this guy coming over and politely made an invitation gesture. At the same time, a melodious automatic music sounded, and in the back garden,
Floating.
Even the music was arranged for the fun, so I came prepared!
Shia's eyes almost wanted to dissect this guy, but when Chen Rui made that invitation gesture, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
à, it is regarded as fulfilling the promise. As a royal member of the Luciferian royal family, how can you break your promise?
Shia, who had temporarily convinced herself, resisted the urge to burn this guy to ashes with black flames, and allowed him to hold her hand. The moment their hands touched, it was as if electricity passed through them.
, the wonderful feeling at the dance emerged again. The wonderful feeling on the fingertips kept flowing into my heart, and my tense heart was gradually softened by this feeling. When I hugged my shoulders, the man's breath was already quite close. Last time
I have never had such a strong feeling in front of everyone. Now, there are only two people in this back garden, him and her.
In the beautiful melody, two figures danced gracefully in the moonlight.
Since the last welcome dance for visitors to the imperial capital, Shia has not danced with anyone, especially this new dance that she is interested in. Chen Rui's performance is much more disciplined than expected, which makes one of Shia's
Some of these precautions were gradually let down. To use a word that Alice learned from someone, it was called gentlemanly behavior.
As everyone knows, the so-called gentlemen are just more patient wolves
à.
However, for Shia, who has always been nervous and busy, it was a rare opportunity to relax. Her steps began to become lighter, she began to enjoy this long-lost fun, and her cooperation with Chen Rui became more and more tacit.
Chen Rui also enjoyed dancing with the ice princess, especially the close contact. The white jade-like skin was clearly visible, and the fresh fragrance was faintly transmitted from the nose. Looking at the entire Dark Moon and even the entire demon world
, he is the first man to be so "close" to Shia, and it should be her "voluntary" choice."... If the nobles in the territory see this scene, their jaws will drop in surprise.
.
"Hmph!" Xia looked at the smile on Chen Rui's face and wanted to punch him: "Isn't it funny?"
"I'm thinking that the eldest princess is true to her word, and she is worthy of being my lord."
"What a shame!" Shia's face turned slightly hot when she heard "My lord."
"Even if Your Highness wants to take revenge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find my people in a while." In order to prevent her from turning her face and spoiling the atmosphere, Chen Rui quickly added: "I personally hope that I can do it next time."
Come back with your life to accept the little punishment from the eldest princess."
Shia's eyes were a little dim: "Actually, this time... you don't have to come back."
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "In my understanding, there are some people and some things that are more important than other things."
Shia looked into his eyes: "Your efforts may not get the return you want. When the time comes, I'm afraid you will regret it."
"Why regret? I remember a book once said that there are always encounters and mistakes in life. The important thing is that you have experienced it, met you before, and made mistakes..." Chen Rui
Without escaping her gaze, he smiled and raised his hand, "Besides, I have been rewarded now, haven't I?"
Shia looked at his smile and suddenly felt that her heartbeat was a little fast. The two of them didn't speak for a while, they just danced quietly to the music. There were some subtle things that didn't have to be expressed in words.
Can feel it.
"...",
"Why has this piece of music been repeated so many times? You magical prop, what on earth..."
"Well...it's just a longer piece of music, it should be over soon...".
"No! Poor guy, how many dances did he dance?"
"Well, I think it's almost time...".
"It's been almost three hours! Bastard, it's time for your little tricks to end!"
