Chapter 397 An acquaintance? A guest of the Darkmoon Palace
Chapter 397: An acquaintance? A distinguished guest from the Dark Moon Palace (second update)
"Your Excellency Gallo." Chen Rui frowned: "I think I'm not a fool, but I still don't understand the meaning of this sentence."
Azgalo is still smiling: "With your talents, you are qualified to be the finance minister of an empire, but the current finance officer is overqualified."
"I'm just a weak 'alien'. Besides, the financial officer position is already a rare high one. Can I still be a lord?"
Azgaro showed a mysterious look: "There is a saying in our demon world that nothing is impossible. The lord is not impossible, as long as you think about it."
"I have also heard of an old saying in the demon world, there is nothing for nothing." Chen Rui asked deliberately: "So...which empire does Lord Gallo come here on behalf of? What is the purpose of coming to Dark Moon?"
"My purpose is closely related to Master Chen Rui's needs. How big your heart is, the conditions I can give you will be broad."
Listening to Azgaro's tone, do you really want to recruit him? Or use him as a financial officer to subvert Dark Moon? Chen Rui always felt something was wrong - during the battle in the Lacey Town wilderness, he showed that he would defend Shia to the death.
His fearless spirit must not be easily "rebellious" now. Moreover, Chen Rui's identity involves too much, and is no better than Master "Arthur" who can rub oil on the soles of his feet at any time, so Infernal Affairs will not be considered for the time being.
"If you were not Jia's father, you might have been imprisoned by now." Chen Rui stood up and said calmly: "Since you are Jia's father, I will make it clear that it is impossible for me to betray my elders.
Princess. I am self-aware of my abilities and identity. I am by no means a lord or a finance minister. The current finance officer is the most suitable position for me, which can allow me to display my true talents. If your Excellency comes, just
For the sake of fruitless solicitation, you can return now. For the sake of Jia's usual attentiveness, I can let you leave Dark Moon safely."
Although he said this, Chen Rui was still a little nervous. After all, the opponent was the peak demon emperor. Once he turned against him, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if he just wanted to take away Jiya, no one in Dark Moon could stop him.
Azgalo stared at Chen Rui for a moment, then suddenly laughed. After a moment, he put on a look of satisfaction: "That's right! Whether it's a human being or a demon, the most rare thing is self-knowledge. Lord Chen Rui is indeed a
A persistent and wise person. I can rest assured to keep Jiya by your side."
Chen Rui showed doubts, but he breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could keep Jia by his side as an "undercover", which was somewhat of a gain.
Although he has broken through to five-star evolution, he is still far behind the Demon Emperor, especially the strongest peak Demon Emperor.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and his will became stronger.
Strength still requires stronger strength! We must protect everyone we cherish around us!
"I was so rude just now. This small gift can be regarded as an apology and a thank you to Mr. Chen Rui for taking care of Jia. Please continue to take care of Jia in the future." Azgalo said, handing over a space ring.
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and took it. Inside was a large amount of black crystal coins and a magic bracelet.
"That bracelet is a quasi-legendary magic equipment that can automatically release protective magic and teleportation magic. I'm sorry to say that Mr. Chen Rui has a weakness in terms of strength. You must pay attention to your own safety. If I have any malicious intentions today,
Your Majesty, this is in danger." Azgalo pretended to be frank and said that the role of this quasi-legendary equipment actually has a certain limit, but for human financial officers, it can be said to be tailor-made and very practical.
"Your Excellency Jialuo, stop beating around the bush," Chen Rui did not refuse. He collected the gift and said in a more polite tone: "Although I don't have much power, I can tell with my eyes that you are by no means an easy person. What's wrong with you?"
Please tell me the matter directly."
Azgaro nodded: "Master Chen Rui is a smart man. He should know that although Dark Moon defeated Chi You and Lan Rong, and the economy and military are developing rapidly, it does not mean that the crisis is far away. On the contrary, Dark Moon
The hidden power of the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital has been exposed to the eyes and ears of the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital. At present, it is just a brief calm before the storm. The strength of the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital is by no means comparable to the two major territories. The Obsidian Regent himself is at its peak.
Demon Emperor, Dark Moon’s situation will be..."
"What does this have to do with the purpose of Your Excellency's visit today?"
"My true identity is the vice-president of the Hongye Merchant Association of the Blood Annihilation Empire. The person behind Hongye Merchant is the eldest prince of the Blood Annihilation Empire, His Highness Aleus. I came here under the orders of His Highness Aleus and want to meet him.
I met Her Royal Highness Princess Dark Moon to discuss the cooperation between Hongye Chamber of Commerce and Dark Moon. This kind of cooperation is not only commercial, but also in all aspects... Her Royal Highness Aleus is a genius who has reached the realm of the Demon Emperor and is recognized as a genius.
If Dark Moon, the most promising person to inherit the Bloody Emperor's throne, can become a partner of Hongye Chamber of Commerce, then even Prince Obsidian will have to be wary and will never dare to act rashly."
Hearing Azgaro's words, Chen Rui thought quickly. The so-called Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is most likely the power of Blood Oblivion. Then the eldest prince of the Blood Evil Empire, Alius, turned out to be a member of the Blood Oblivion force! Could it be the Blood Oblivion force?
Is the real mastermind of Annihilation Aleus? Or is it someone higher up... Emperor Lei Chan?
Perhaps only the most powerful man in the demon world can control people like Crystal Dragon and Azgalo, and use the Blood Annihilation Organization to carry out such a trick similar to peaceful evolution when the Three Kingdoms signed a truce contract?
Chen Rui felt something was wrong in his heart. People like Azgalo and Manu had big hearts. It was obvious that they wanted to restore the lost glory of the royal family. "Blood Annihilation" gave him the impression that it was more like someone who wanted to subvert
The existing forces in the demon world are re-establishing the organization of the political power. Leaving Lei Chan aside, if Aleus is really the leader of Bloody Oblivion, then his purpose is... could he want to bring down his father?
In any case, Azgarro came here, and his eyes on behalf of Blood Annihilation have fallen on the rising Dark Moon. He wanted to take advantage of the crisis that Dark Moon is currently facing and Shia's reset mentality to incorporate Dark Moon into Blood Annihilation.
and then use the identity of Princess Shia to subvert and control the entire Fallen Angel Empire step by step.
The previous efforts to win over him as a financial officer were just asking for advice.
Azgaro saw Chen Rui lost in thought and knew that the other person was already moved. How could he know that this insignificant human being was actually the culprit who destroyed his foundation, the Crystal Valley, and already knew his identity and true purpose.
"Your Excellency Jia Luo's identity surprises me," Chen Rui finally spoke, "If it was just a business cooperation, I can make a decision directly now... But this matter must be reported to Her Royal Highness the Princess before I can give you an answer.
.It is up to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to decide whether to see you or not. Today Her Highness seems to be practicing behind closed doors and not seeing any outsiders. Can you please ask Sir Gallo to stay in Dark Moon for a few days? I will then introduce you to meet the Eldest Princess."
With Azgalo's strength, if he really wants to see Shia, he won't be able to do so even if he tries to stop him in every possible way. For now, he still has to use a delaying strategy to delay the meeting.
"Of course," Azgaro nodded with satisfaction, and handed over another space ring, "The small gift before represented my personal thanks to you for taking care of Jia, so this gift represents Hongye Chamber of Commerce's gratitude to you.
A gift of thanks for the introduction. This cooperation is of great benefit to both parties. Your right to speak in front of the eldest princess is quite weighty. Once the cooperation is successful, you will be rewarded with generous gifts."
There were ten times more black crystal coins in this space ring, and Xue Yan's move was indeed generous. Chen Rui was not polite, accepted the ring, and rolled his eyes: "Well, I'll go to the palace now to see Shia.
Has His Highness completed the practice? If indeed he has not, then please wait a day or two more."
"No problem, thank you so much, sir." The smile on Azgalo's face became even stronger, he told the hotel where he was staying, and stood up to leave.
Chen Rui sent Azgalo to the door and quickly walked towards the palace.
As soon as he reached the gate of the outer courtyard of the palace, he saw Kaguli walking out. After the Lord War, Dark Moon made some adjustments to its internal duties. Kaguli was named the Red Blood because of his outstanding performance in the battle in the Lacey Town Wilderness.
The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard is responsible for guarding the palace, while his brother Kagulon focuses on recruiting and training new troops. As for Alice in Princess Square, not only is Ji Ya there, but also the magic circle carefully designed by Chen Rui
And props, Delia's Dark Demon members are also keeping an eye on and protecting her at all times, and the safety factor is much higher than before.
Kaguli and Chen Rui were old acquaintances. When she saw him coming, she was stunned, called him aside, and whispered: "Master Chen Rui, it's a coincidence that you are here. Her Royal Highness the Princess is about to summon you. Now
His Highness is meeting with two important guests in the council chamber, please go quickly."
Chen Rui looked at Kaguli's mysterious and cautious look, nodded, and walked into the meeting hall. He found that there were no guards around the meeting hall. It seemed that the origins of these two distinguished guests were not simple, because Xue Yan had already come to see Chen
Rui, and he also agreed, he would definitely not meet Xia directly so soon, otherwise he would not use Jia to hook up with him.
Chen Rui walked all the way into the meeting hall and saw Shia talking about something with the two of them.
Both of these people are women, with attractive figures. The one in a blue robe is sitting opposite Shia, and there is a woman in black standing behind her. Both women's faces are covered with veils.
This outfit looked familiar to Chen Rui. It seemed to be the usual outfit for women in the Shadow Empire.
A prompt immediately appeared in the Eye of Analysis:
The race of the woman in blue robe is the ** royal family, and her overall strength has reached A-(a-), the first stage of Demon King.
Sure enough, it is the Asmodeus royal family of the Shadow Empire. It seems that Dark Moon is having an extraordinary meeting this time.
What really shocked Chen Rui was the woman in black who looked like a bodyguard behind him.
This inconspicuous woman in black turned out to be the pinnacle of the Demon Emperor!
Today in Dark Moon, I actually saw two of the strongest peak demon emperors in a row!
Chen Rui suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. How many peak demon emperors are there in the Asmodeus royal family? How many are women?
The woman in black seemed to be keenly aware of this subtle emotion. When she glanced at him, a strange feeling surged in Chen Rui's heart, which seemed a little familiar.
illusion?
Impossible!
The woman in black also had some doubts in her eyes. She stared at him for a moment and then looked away.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and bowed to Shia: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, my subordinates had something important to report. I met Master Kaguli at the door, and I happened to know that Your Highness had summoned me."
When there were outsiders, Chen Rui naturally followed the etiquette. Xia nodded: "No wonder you came so quickly. If you have anything to say, please tell me later. I came here to meet two distinguished guests. This is the noble daughter Lilith.
, the one behind is Commander Isis, and both ladies are members of the Asmodeus royal family of the Shadow Empire."
Isis? A very strange name.
Chen Rui had calmed down and bowed to the two women: "Dark Moon Sheriff Chen Rui, I have met these two distinguished ladies."
Lilith spoke up: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Chen Rui is a capable minister, and today I saw that he is really extraordinary. I just happened to be talking to His Highness Xia about your deeds. Mr. Chen Rui can be said to have taken the credit for Dark Moon's rapid development.
Greatest."
Chen Rui quickly said a few words of modesty, walked over, and stood behind Xia.
Lilith said straight to the point: "Your Highness Shia, this time I came to Dark Moon because I was entrusted by Her Majesty Catherine. I hope to establish a close cooperative relationship with Dark Moon."
Chen Rui thought. Could it be that the queen also wanted to use blood to annihilate her? She quietly supported Shia and used peaceful evolution to subvert and control the Fallen Angel Empire? With Catherine's wisdom, such a strategy is not impossible.
.
When Shia heard Catherine's name, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes: "I would like to hear the details."
"The cooperation between our Shadow Empire and Dark Moon has actually started a long time ago. The Custer family and Dark Moon have established a joint chamber of commerce. Princess Shop has opened a branch in the Shadow Imperial City, and business is booming. Including the Imperial Capital and surrounding territories, they have begun to follow the example of Dark Moon.
Yue has established night markets, auction houses and other facilities. Her Majesty the Queen is very interested in the battle ball and Dark Moon's new magical soil improvement technology, and hopes to establish an informal cooperative relationship with Dark Moon."
There are also many barren and backward territories in the Shadow Empire. Katherine obviously wants to introduce soil improvement technology through this cooperation to make the country stronger. Battle balls can enhance physical fitness and are highly entertaining. There are already people in various places.
It's just that the ball is very special. It seems to be made of dozens of top-quality materials, so it can't be imitated. And Dark Moon sells in limited quantities, so it hasn't become popular yet.
Perhaps Her Majesty the Queen also has ambitions to compete for hegemony. Judging from the current strategy for Dark Moon, Catherine and Blood Annihilation are still two different concepts. One is a conspiracy to strengthen oneself, and the other is a conspiracy to subvert the other party.
Shia was silent, and Chen Rui spoke: "Miss Lilith, please forgive me for being rude and asking, what benefits can Her Majesty the Queen's so-called 'informal' cooperation bring to Dark Moon?"
Just like what Azgaro said, the current situation in Dark Moon is indeed not optimistic. In addition to Obsidian, there are also Bloody Eyes who are eyeing them. At this time, the Shadow Empire has just arrived. We must seize this key.
