Bai Luo, who was rushing to the Imperial Capital of Fallen Angels, didn't know that the person he wanted to fight for this time, "Charles", had already been notified of his arrival in advance, and had also prepared a special "welcome ceremony." In fact, Bai Luo had already learned about his arrival in advance.
Things were pretty good for a while.
The last adventure to deal with Manu Bailuo suffered heavy losses, but the harvest was not small. Although the power of Manu Demon Emperor level flesh and blood swallowed by secret techniques was not completely digested, the pure power was very close to the Demon Emperor level.
The remaining areas are breakthroughs.
As long as he can understand the realm of the Demon Emperor, he can enter the level of a peak powerhouse (not the ordinary category of demigods), and with his powerful bloodline talent, he will definitely be the best among the Demon Emperors of the same class. Currently,
It is only one step away from this highest level.
Through a series of thunderous means, Bai Luo killed Manu's cronies, controlled the remaining power of the Leviathan royal family, and obtained the official recognition of Blood Annihilation, and successfully took over the hands of Manu, who was "severely injured and died".
that power.
However, Bai Luo was even more afraid of the Shadow Emperor Catherine, who had severely damaged Manu and defeated the three powerful forces of Crystal Dragon and Azgaro. He acted extremely low-key in the Shadow Empire and made many decisions, including some military restructuring.
They all took the lead in responding to the Queen's call, creating an appearance of loyalty, and received good reviews.
Bai Luo's actions were nothing more than lowering his posture and pretending to surrender. He also knew that his power was deeply rooted. Especially his father-in-law was the biggest contributor to supporting the Queen's accession to the throne and quelling the chaos. Although he had "retired", his influence in the military and the court was still the same.
Huge, Her Majesty the Queen will not touch him for the time being. I just use this precious time to quickly increase my strength and strive to break through the Demon Emperor as soon as possible.
If the Shadow Empire fails to lurk, you can still get the highest treatment and reuse if you return to Blood Annihilation. This is the importance of strength.
As for Queen Catherine's army restructuring measures, Bai Luo is not worried, because the Blade Legion has always been firmly under his control, and it guards the Yerge Fortress at the border with the Blood Evil Empire, which belongs to the throat zone. No matter what,
Reform, as long as he, the commander of the army, is still in the position of supreme commander, will definitely not cause any trouble. In this regard, Bai Luo is quite confident.
The only regret is the loss of the phantom shield. The phantom shield fell into the hands of Delia, and the whereabouts of this sister have never been found. It is possible that the magic shield was really lost to the genius master who was proficient in the three elements as Manu said before his death.
For this reason, Bai Luo had set up a large number of eyes and ears in the Artifact Makers Alliance. What was deplorable was that this guy had never been seen, as if he had evaporated out of thin air.
This time, going to the Fallen Angel Capital to fight for the human with the black potion resources was the first important task Bai Luo fought for after taking over Manu's position. After learning all the relevant information, Bai Luo had full confidence
Confidence persuaded this human "prince" who had a similar experience to his own. Not only that, the rare black potion resources also made Bai Luo covet. Maybe this was an important opportunity for him to break through to the Demon Emperor. Therefore, this
He is bound to win once he goes there.
If the win over fails, even if he turns against him and takes action, he still has to capture this human being and try to control him. No matter what, the black potion will be in Bai Luo's bag.
Chen Rui completed the last "detection" of the artifact and said goodbye to Obsidian and walked out of the palace. His Royal Highness the Regent has shown great enthusiasm in the past few days. There are banquets and dances held specially for him every day, which Chen Rui is tired of coping with.
Fortunately, after staying this night at most, he would leave the imperial capital and return to the "human world" the next day.
Every time when he "observed" the artifact, Obsidian never left. Although the two had become stable allies, and although "Charles" had no motive to take away the artifact and run away, Obsidian still showed considerable caution.
There was no chance for Chen Rui to steal the sword. So Chen Rui could only follow the most unsatisfactory plan, record the ancient runes of the artifact, and make some small tricks on the Fallen Angel Sword in a prepared way.
There is a carriage parked outside the palace. As we all know, this is the carriage of Isabella, the famous emperor of the imperial capital. These days, Isabella and the palace's senior advisors are having a heated relationship, and they are like a stick. They go out to play during the day, and "Charles" stays overnight at night.
In Mandala's house, you can tell with your fingers what the two of them are doing. Rumors have begun to describe how powerful Mr. Charles is in a certain way, and how he was so tormented that Mandala cried for mercy on the bed.
.
However, there is often a discrepancy between the truth and the appearance, and sometimes the discrepancy is quite large. The highly toxic "death encounter" was actually the most intimate act between the two of them so far, and there will never be a second one.
.
Approaching the carriage, a line of eye-catching data suddenly appeared in his analytical eyes. Chen Rui raised his brows slightly. What was supposed to come finally came. He adjusted his breathing, calmed his mind, and walked without stopping.
Entered the carriage.
The carriage was filled with a faint fragrance, which was the smell of Isabella's favorite black tulips. But besides Isabella, there was another person. This person was dressed in a robe, had a big beard, and had a strange face.
, actually looks a bit like an uncle from another world.
However, Chen Rui still recognized this person at a glance. Not to mention the familiar facial features, just the vaguely visible pits and spots on his face were the masterpieces of Chen Rui's own hands when he was in Youye Wetland. At that time, he
Every quality has reached the peak level of the Demon Emperor and is quite balanced. Moreover, Chen Rui has personally seen his nightmare double pupil mutation talent, which is very powerful.
"Who is this person?" Chen Rui's tone was filled with undisguised disgust. On the surface, it seemed that he was naturally unhappy with the strange man appearing next to his woman.
"I am a friend of Isabella." Bai Luo spoke first, "Your Excellency Charles, my name is Bai Luo, and I have come all the way to visit you. In order to express my apology for coming here, here is a small gift.
Please accept it."
Chen Rui looked at the space ring handed over by Bai Luo, frowned, and looked at Isabella aside. Isabella's expression was a little cold, but she still nodded. This reaction was also normal, she
He had a bad relationship with Bai Luo in the organization, but this time, it was just for the sake of the "overall situation".
Only then did Chen Rui take it, glanced at Bai Luo cautiously, and used his mental power to enter the space ring to explore. It was actually filled with the rarest gold crystals. It seemed that just this "meeting gift" was enough to make him bleed.
Made a lot of money.
Although Chen Rui wanted to follow the same pattern and trick these guys again, Isabella's past experience made him put away his complacency. There are many wise men in the devil world, especially this ambitious mysterious organization. It is difficult to guarantee that by then
There will be no loopholes again. In this plan, Dark Moon's follow-up actions are closely linked and no extraneous matters are allowed.
The Blood Annihilation Organization is not Obsidian who is restrained by the lords and elder families. It can be said that it acts without scruples. Once it is self-defeating, it will trap itself. It is better not to be too greedy and to complete the current plan of the Fallen Angel Empire in a down-to-earth manner. I believe that
There will be many opportunities for confrontation in the future. The focus this time is Bai Luo.
"This gift is not small." Chen Rui turned his mind back and handed the space ring back. "I don't think... based on our friendship that we have never met, it is necessary to accept this level of apology."
How could he not be tempted by such a huge wealth? Bai Luo nodded secretly: He is indeed a royal nobleman who has seen big events. He seems to be a person who does big things.
"Friendships come from relationships. This can be considered the beginning of our friendship." Bai Luo did not accept the space ring. Chen Rui received Isabella's eyes as a "signal" and hesitated for a moment before accepting the ring.
The carriage stopped, and Isabella said: "You go to Youyue Pavilion first, which is in the No. 7 courtyard last time. That courtyard has been booked by me for a month. Now I will go back to the house to change clothes.
Come as soon as you can."
Youyue Pavilion is a famous villa-like leisure place on the outskirts of the imperial capital. It is the property of a certain veteran family. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and covers a large area. It has an elegant environment, pleasant scenery, and a series of services such as gourmet beauties and many other services.
All dignitaries and nobles like to go there.
"Yini, I'd better wait for you to go together."
Isabella glanced at him angrily: "Don't you know that women spend the most time dressing up?"
"Okay then." Chen Rui smiled slightly, squeezed her hand, and Isabella stepped out of the carriage with a smile.
Bai Luo saw the intimacy between the two, and secretly thought that this Charles was indeed the same as the intelligence, and had a connection with Isabella. In the future, he could consider using beauty to win over or control him.
After Isabella left, the carriage drove the two of them all the way to Youyue Pavilion. Facing Chen Rui's neither salty nor cool attitude, Bai Luo showed considerable patience and just rambled on.
Intentionally or unintentionally, it shows the cultivation of a superior noble.
When they got off the bus, the relationship between the two had obviously improved a little. This was not the first time that Chen Rui had come to Youyue Pavilion, and the reputation of the senior consultant had been well known in the imperial capital recently. A female leader immediately led the two to Isabelle.
The No. 7 courtyard under Lading.
The independent "box" in Courtyard No. 7 is located on a mountain peak. The environment is very quiet, equivalent to a small village courtyard, with all the facilities. Chen Rui came to the exquisite stone table in the courtyard and sat down, and Bai Luo also sat down.
On the opposite side, a beautiful maiden served drinks and snacks. An incense stick had been lit in the courtyard, and the faint mist exuded a strange fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Incense is one of the hobbies of the upper-class nobles in the demon world. The higher the quality of the incense, the better it can show one's identity.
Chen Rui waved the girl back, squinted her eyes, and took a breath, as if savoring the feeling of the incense.
Bai Luo asked as he liked: "Your Excellency Charles also likes the dragon festival incense from the devil world?"
"This Dragon Festival incense is not the best. The taste is a bit raw." Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes, flashing a strange light. "Listening to Sir Bai Luo's words, you already know that I am not from the demon world?"
Bai Luo smiled slightly: "First of all, please forgive me for being rude. I know many things about you, including your body of light, including your cooperation with Prince Obsidian, and some precious resources that are unique in the demon world..."
"What's the relationship between you and Isabella?" Chen Rui expressed vigilance, "No, there are some things that even she doesn't know about."
Bai Luo thought he answered cleverly: "If you don't even have this ability, how can you be qualified to sit across from your Excellency now?"
"I don't like to hang around with strangers, especially men." Chen Rui frowned: "Sir Bai Luo, you should be a real nobleman, generous, knowledgeable and courageous, but I hope our
Conversation can get rid of the politeness and hypocrisy commonly used by nobles. There are no other people here. What is the purpose of your visit? You might as well say it directly."
Bai Luo's female servants had already left and nodded: "In that case, I will make it clear. I hope to establish a long-term and close cooperative relationship with you, and I will give you all the help you need without restriction.
The condition is that the precious resources you have on hand...can only be supplied through one channel: me."
Chen Rui frowned even more tightly: "Your intelligence power is indeed amazing, but I already have a long-term partner, and his conditions are the same as yours. I don't intend to abandon this existing cooperative relationship."
Bai Luo shook his head: "You are wrong. My conditions are different from his. To be precise, they are the huge force I represent. We can give you what Obsidian Regent can give you; Obsidian
We can also give you what we can't give you! For example... a larger amount of wealth, sophisticated weapons and equipment, secret medicine to control people and self-destruct, secret weapons that have never appeared in the human world or even the demon world, etc...
Even if it is your own strength, we can help you improve quickly."
Chen Rui's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked excited, but he was sneering in his heart: Wealth aside, he had already seen those so-called secret medicines and secret weapons in the Secret Demon Valley of Crystal Valley. Bai Luo
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that the human "prince" in front of me would be the one who destroyed the Valley of Secret Demons, destroyed the Crystal Valley... and was also the biggest "culprit" who defrauded the Demon Shield!
Chen Rui's agitated appearance had been expected by Bai Luo. Judging from the information he had, the real purpose of this "Charles"'s cooperation with Obsidian was not simply to make profits, but to use the power of the demon world to seize the throne of the human world, so
There is no reason to refuse such tempting conditions.
After a long time, Chen Rui finally spoke: "I have to admit that what you said is indeed very touching. But why should I believe what you say?"
When Bai Luo heard that there was something going on, he was secretly happy and took out two more space bracelets: "Your Excellency, Charles, you can take a look at the contents of these two bracelets before talking."
Chen Rui used his mental power to explore. One bracelet contained a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor, and another contained secret medicines and various ordnances. Some of them had never been seen in the Valley of the Mysterious Demon.
——There shouldn't be many bases like Crystal Valley, but I'm afraid there are more than one. In any case, these are unexpected gains.
"Please accept these and take the time to test the quality or effect. I believe that with His Highness's judgment, you should be able to make the most correct choice. This is just a part of the sample. As long as Your Highness agrees to cooperate, we will continue to supply it to Your Highness.
Wealth and these equipments. Compared with this bargaining chip and Obsidian, His Highness should know who is lighter and which is heavier." In order to further increase the appeal of the lobbying, the title in Bai Luo's mouth has been changed to "Your Highness" and he said to himself
conditions and have considerable confidence.
If Chen Rui is really the fourth son of the constructed character "Charles" who wants to regain his status as a prince or even the throne of the emperor, then as Isabella fears, he will definitely not be able to refuse the bloody temptation.
Unfortunately, he is not this one.
Not only is he not, but he is also an "old friend" that Bai Luo and even Xue Yan will never forget.
Chen Rui secretly calculated the time, showing a thinking look. His toes kept tapping the ground as if out of habit. If you listen carefully, you should be able to find a strange rhythm.
Bai Luo didn't notice this. He was still trying his best to use his eloquence to persuade this "Charles" who seemed to be getting more and more excited: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am also a member of the demon clan. Like Your Highness, I was once taken away by someone.
I have regained what belongs to me, and I understand very well how His Highness feels. Now, with the help of those people, I have regained a considerable part of it, and there will be more in the future..."
Bai Luo was talking eloquently when a strange warning sign suddenly occurred to him.
If he hadn't already reached the edge of the Demon Emperor's realm, he wouldn't have such a keen sixth sense.
Although the contact with the other party has been going very smoothly and there should be no danger now, but as a strong man who has experienced many battles, he trusts this intuition more and reacts without thinking about any rudeness.
Facts have proved that this reaction is correct. Just when Bai Luo jumped back at an extremely fast speed, the stone bench suddenly glowed with radiant light, wrapped in thousands of threads.
Although Bai Luo's mental reaction was fast, his body seemed to be affected by something. His strength was weakened a lot out of thin air, and his speed slowed down out of thin air. He had been caught in the light, and the light stretched infinitely, like a rope, and his limbs
Being tightly bound.
Chen Rui's rhythmic beating of the ground just now was using the magic mechanism of a specific sound frequency. This magic mechanism was one of the tricks Isabella set up for their "date" after booking the No. 7 courtyard.
, which combines dragon language inscriptions and magic circles, as well as some magical effects of ancient runes (unfortunately it is quite limited).
Bai Luo struggled hard, but couldn't get out for a while. He felt that he seemed to be a lot weaker for no reason, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of stubborn poison. His eyes fell on the dragon festival incense, and his face couldn't help but change drastically.
Could it be because of the incense stick? No wonder "Charles" just now deliberately said that the incense smelled harsh and not the best. It turned out to be to eliminate his suspicions. The other party may have taken the antidote in advance!
It makes absolutely no sense!
With the generous conditions offered by Xue Yan, Bai Luo would have agreed to it if he were in another place, and it was even less likely that he would fall out and take action!
And this method does not seem to be used temporarily, but seems to have been planned for a long time?
