Facing countless crystals filled with terrifying cold air, an object in Chen Rui's hand emitted a strong light, and a strange blue light door appeared in the void. Carnita recognized that this light door was the way "Charles" traveled between the demon world and the human world.
The Space Gate immediately exclaimed: "He wants to return to the human world!"
A fierce look appeared in Zhuo Qie's eyes, and the symbols wrapped in the blue flames at his fingertips suddenly exploded. The room instantly turned into a world of ice. Chen Rui, who was in the center, had been wrapped in a small, compressed blizzard.
What is even more surprising is that there is also a strange electric light in the wind and snow.[]
Chen Rui could vaguely feel that the water element and the wind element seemed to be perfectly fused together. This was the power of the composite element! Normally, a magician could only call upon one elemental power at the same time, but there were also very few individuals with extraordinary talents.
People can use two or more elements at the same time, and combine the power of these two elements that are originally difficult to integrate in a special way to exert extraordinary power.
This is the power of compound elements. The power of compound magic is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two. It is enough to cause several times the effect. However, this compounding process is full of dangers. One mistake during the practice may cause
Injuring oneself, unless one has an extremely profound understanding of magical elements and has extraordinary control over them, will not be able to succeed.
Of course, not all elements can be mixed together. For example, water element and fire element, wind element and earth element, light element and dark element are "dead enemies" of each other. Under normal circumstances, they cannot be combined.
Zhuoqie's ability to become one of the four major lords is not just about adapting to the situation. His own strength is also an important factor to achieve success by standing in the right camp.
As Chen Rui thought, a translucent blue shield appeared around him, which was not affected by the blizzard. He walked towards the light door step by step. Although the blue shield quickly began to crack under the power of the blizzard, according to this
The progress of the steps makes it possible to walk into the light gate before the shield shatters.
Zhuo Qie immediately changed his tactics and waved his hand towards the light gate. Countless sizzling ice crystals rushed into the light gate, but they passed through as if they were just a non-existent shadow. Chen Rui had already arrived.
He took a step in front of the light door. What surprised Zhuo Qie was that half of the human foot was not in the door. It was not the ice crystal that passed through the door just now. This strange "door." It was definitely not a phantom!
Zhuo Qie frowned, if it was the "gate of time and space" of the water system. Those ice crystals that combined the power of the domain just now should be able to interfere with or eliminate this door, but in the end, they were not affected at all and did not even feel any water element.
Is the fluctuation of space really the power of space that has been lost?
Chen Rui's mind was racing, he took a step, but then took it back, and pointed at the door of space, and the door disappeared.
This move was beyond Zhuo Qie and Kanita's expectations. Chen Rui opened his fingers, and the shield that originally protected him disappeared.
Give up the chance of survival? Is this human being crazy? What exactly does he want to do?
"Master Zhuo Qie." After removing the protective shield, Chen Rui's feet were already covered with a thin layer of ice, but his eyes fell on Zhuo Qie's face like fire, "We humans also have a saying, there is no white person in the world.
Lunch. I hope that I can use this almost death performance to prove my sincerity in cooperation."
Zhuo Qie's eyes narrowed slightly, but the snowstorm did not immediately wrap around him, nor did he speak.
"As the heir of a family, I must take responsibility. Now I am here to endure your magic." Chen Rui's voice was sonorous. Baidu Tieba Qihang had no powerful words: "I believe that no liar will use his own magic."
risk your life."
Zhuo Qie snorted coldly, and the blizzard immediately enveloped him, mixed with the flashing light of lightning, ravaging the human form in the center. Even Kanita, who was an audience on the side, was frightened by the sight.
The blizzard gradually dissipated, and the little crystal lights in the room were extinguished one by one. The human in the center had solidified into an ice sculpture, and all parts except the head were firmly frozen.
A sizzling thunder ball rose up in Zhuo Qie's hand: "As long as this thunder ball hits you, your body will turn into a ball of powder. However, I specially left you with the last words on my head."
Demon King level power is no child's play, especially the powerful power of composite elements.
Chen Rui's lips have turned purple from the cold, and his skin has turned bluish-white. These are just superficial symptoms. The elemental power that breaks through the body's surface defenses is raging in the body, and the destructive trauma and pain are almost greater than his.
The limit of tolerance is reached.
In the eyes of Zhuoqie and Kanita, although the muscles on the human face were distorted by pain and the voice was trembling, the eyes were still firm and unphotos: "I only want to say the last two words, sincerity."
Zhuo Qie's face was full of murderous intent, and the thunderball flew towards Chen Rui, hitting him squarely, and the sound of shattering suddenly sounded.
However, it was not Chen Rui's body that shattered, but the ice that wrapped him. This hand held it just right, showing that Zhuo Qie's magic control has reached its peak.
"No matter which world you are in, strength and courage are elements worthy of respect. Human beings, I have to say that you have successfully demonstrated your sincerity." Zhuo Qie's murderous aura gradually subsided, returned to the throne, and sat down again.
Go, when I finished saying this, the ice and snow world in the room had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had made the right bet. Zhuo Qie did not use a real killing move, it was more of a test.
Moreover, when Chen Rui judged that the opponent possessed the composite magic of wind and water elements, the armor had silently added corresponding props to resist wind and water elements and reduce the power of magic. In addition, it had the ability to reduce the power of magic.
With the two passive attributes of "Guiding Spirits", which deals 30% damage, and "Anti-Magic", which reduces magic damage by half, the magic damage just now has been reduced to the minimum. Even if the thunder ball really has killing intent, it will not shatter his body.
, you can also summon the Starry Sky Gate again to escape.
But in that case, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Zhuo Qie was indeed difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the most difficult initial stage of the Kurou plan was passed.
"Lord, your powerful compound magic, especially the control of elements, is at its peak!" Despite this, Chen Rui was still seriously traumatized, and immediately drank the anti-cold potion and recovery potion, and praised: "Even if
The holy mage in the Holy Empire Mage Tower is also a bit inferior."
Zhuo Qie accepted the praise calmly: "Your strength should have vaguely reached the first stage of the Demon King... By the way, according to you humans, you have already touched the edge of the Saint level."
Kanita nodded secretly, this powerful human being had indeed reached the level of the Demon King.
Zhuo Qie's half-break was based on firstly the pure aura of destruction exuded by human beings before, and secondly human beings' adaptation to the power of the domain and their endurance in hard-wired magic. But they didn't know that this confident judgment was actually a high-level decision.
Assessed the other party.
The previous aura of destruction was something Chen Rui learned from the spiritual imprint. At present, he can only barely make the aura leak out. In fact, it is just a bluffing empty shell: as for the adaptation to the field and the endurance to resist magic, he can only
It is said that it is the attributes of the super system combined with the wonderful functions of the equipment.
"Your Excellency, you have good eyesight." Chen Rui didn't explain, and nodded slightly, "It's just that I can feel that Your Excellency only used a little bit of strength. If he had used real power, I would have been completely dead just now."
Zhuo Qie smiled noncommittally: "Please sit down."
Since this human being is also a "Demon Emperor-level" being, at least he has the ability to talk to him on an equal footing.
Chen Rui sat down and said, "I understand your lord's feelings. I am a human being, and I am here to ask you to pay valuable money. However, as your lord said before, there is never anything for nothing.
If you don't pay, how can you gain? To be honest, with the financial resources of my Camplot family, tens or hundreds of millions of black crystal coins are really nothing. It's just that now is a particularly difficult period, and funds are urgently needed to unfreeze those coins.
Restricted investment projects..."
Zhuoqie didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and interjected: "Your Excellency Charles, your words are too vague. I hope to understand every detail of what you said. This is the most basic prerequisite for our cooperation."
Chen Rui thought for a while and gave the general situation of the Camplot family. He first introduced the family's financial resources, industry and huge influence, and then mainly highlighted the feud with the second prince Garfield.
Under Garfield's methods, the Camplot family suffered a sudden and comprehensive blockade. The family's various sources of funds were frozen, and investment projects were forced to stop operating. Most importantly, Emperor Rex handed over to Camplot.
The progress of the Crystal City that the family had completed had also stopped. Once it could not be completed within the stipulated time, the second prince would take advantage of the situation and kill him, causing the entire Camplot family to fall into irreversible danger.
Under such adversity, the original "friends" have adopted a wait-and-see attitude or even defected. It has become increasingly difficult to maintain the liquidity of the huge business system. Even if they want to sell real estate or goods and exchange them for cash, no one is willing to buy them. Start-up funds
It's only a few million short of getting it all together. If this continues, the Camplot family will collapse before the completion of Crystal City.
In the most difficult period of the afternoon, the patriarch Carlo thought of his other son Samuel who went to the devil world to experience. The devil world may be the only hope that can help the family overcome the difficulties. As the heir of the family, Charles volunteered to come to the devil world and successfully succeeded.
I took the Carnita line.
After Carnita's first capital investment of 7 million, the deadlock was finally resolved. Then through a series of means such as withdrawing funds, the situation was greatly alleviated, and all the benefits obtained were handed over to Carnita. Currently, there are still
Although many investment projects are waiting for funds to be activated, the Camplot family has collected nearly 200 million in funds, and is expected to be short of 50 million black crystal coins. Since Carnita can no longer solve the problem, they came to seek help from Lord Zhuoqie.
Chen Rui's words are both false and true. Crystal City is indeed the mission of the Camplot family, and Carlo is having a headache about this, but the situation is far from as bad as Chen Rui said. When explaining, Chen Rui
From time to time, some economic management terms such as marginal cost, moral risk, and the law of supply are added. Although Zhuo Qie is very thoughtful, he still feels dizzy when he half understands it. He just feels that human business methods are really extraordinary.
, no wonder the ground world is much more prosperous than the demon world.
Chen Rui went around in a big circle and finally came back: "Now there are still 50 million black crystal coins left, the return rate is 70%, and the total is 83.5 million. Just like when I dealt with the card
As promised by Lord Nita, it will be returned in three installments. My brother Samuel will continue to stay in the demon world as a representative of sincerity."
Zhuo Qie did not promise immediately, but said calmly: "No matter what, the demon world and human beings are always enemies. If Mr. Charles interacts with the enemy like this, are you not afraid that this matter will be exposed in the future and your entire family will be implicated?"
"This future... will have to wait until at least two hundred years later. This is my personal behavior. I will bear any responsibility alone. As long as the Camplot family can maintain its value to the empire, it will continue to prosper.
," Chen Rui shrugged disapprovingly, "What's more, our human lifespan is not as long as the demons. In two hundred years, even if I don't encounter any accidents, I will almost die. This aspect is not a problem."
"It is undeniable that your proposal makes me tempted, but..." Zhuo Qie nodded: "First, I still can't trust you. Even if you leave your brother in the devil world, you can't be the real guarantee for this cooperation.
:Second, assuming what you said is true, our cooperation is effective. However, even if 50 million can get you 83.5 million, as a reward for saving your family, I think it is still far from enough."
"If the lord is willing to cooperate, then 50 million is just the beginning. You will get more benefits later, but the prerequisite is that you must invest. It is equivalent to the lord using the operational capabilities of my Camplot family and our influence in the human world.
The huge business system is profitable. After this difficulty, the subsequent rate of return will gradually stabilize and is expected to be around 10%. Our cooperation can last longer, but due to the consideration of jihad time, this time cannot exceed one
century."
Zhuo Qie looked like he was thinking, and his heart actually started to move - although the Chiyou territory is a relatively wealthy territory in the Fallen Angel Empire, it cannot be compared with the wealthy human world. If he can cooperate with the largest business family in the human world
, then the benefits will be unimaginably huge. Even if the territory encounters more bad harvests or changes, it can still ensure a steady flow of wealth. With money, you will have a stronger army and combat effectiveness, and you may be able to achieve some unprecedented things.
Maybe even the ambition to dare to think...
The most important thing is that under such favorable conditions, the other party does not necessarily have to rely on Chiyou. If it is replaced by the Blue Melt Territory or the White Ling Territory or even a major force other than the Fallen Angel Empire, they will also choose to cooperate. It seems that Carnita can
It's great luck to take in that Samuel by chance.
"As for the question about trust... a ray of light appeared in Chen Rui's hand: "This cooperation contract is an equal contract. As long as we both sign this contract, even if my brother Samuel leaves the devil world, there will be no cooperation between us.
Credit will not be affected in any way. Lord, what do you think?
The equality contract is a high-level contract that can generally only be used by Demon King-level experts. Zhuo Qie felt the power of that contract and no longer had any doubts. He showed a rare smile: "I think we can discuss cooperation next.
Here are the details.”
Chen Rui also smiled, because this "contract" was created by him using spiritual links, and its attributes can be canceled one by one.
It was indeed not easy to pass Zhuoqie's test, and it even cost a lot, but the result was very satisfying, because this big fish finally took the bait.
