The "assassination" of Financial Officer Chen Rui occurred a few days before Shia's birthday, causing a fierce storm in the upper levels of the Dark Moon.
The result of this storm is three words: The Great Purge.
A considerable number of people from almost every family were taken away for investigation, and many never returned. The Red Blood Legion and the Flame Legion joined forces to conduct a large-scale manhunt across the city and imposed a curfew.
Shia showed off her iron-blooded tactics that were rarely shown in normal times. Suspicious elements would be killed regardless of their race or identity without mercy. Anyone who asked for mercy would be treated as an accomplice. In just a few days, a bloody storm enveloped many people in Dark Moon.
family.
This incident added a bloody embellishment to Her Royal Highness the Princess's upcoming twenty-fifth birthday, and at the same time further established Shia's prestige.
To fight against the Imperial City, the internal siltation must first be cleared away.
——The real person in charge of the execution of the iron-blooded method is Isabella. She maximized Shia's authorization and banned any suspicious persons without killing them. No one was spared.
Even Delia, the second-in-command, was shocked by the decisiveness and ruthlessness of this intelligence chief. But Delia also knew that these people were the cancer of Dark Moon. The deeper they were buried, the longer they would become.
The longer it grows, the greater the harm will be to Dark Moon. The painful lessons from the Dark Demon Headquarters were her own experiences and will never be allowed to happen again.
The shocking effect is quite obvious. Now the upper-class families of the Dark Moon tremble when they hear the name of the Dark Demon. Isabella was originally the controller of the Anbu of the Imperial Capital. Her method is not only killing, but also uses the golden name of the eldest princess to turn over.
With hands like clouds and hands like rain, those families who have been managed to be submissive will no longer dare to have any objections in a short period of time.
In the secret prison of the palace, the captured peak demon emperor Sarandi is imprisoned.
Today, Salandi's body is poisoned by Pagliu's poison, and his strength has been greatly reduced. However, even if he is not poisoned, he cannot break away from the seal of the secret prison, because it is an ancient runic seal placed by Lola himself. Today,
In the world, there are only a few demi-gods and below who can break out of this seal, and Salandi is obviously not one of them.
Sarandi was not particularly abused or tortured, but looked at Chen Rui and Shia who appeared in front of him with cold eyes.
"Lord Sarandi." Chen Rui said: "Please forgive me, your strength is too strong. Just in case, we have to use a little confinement method."
"Hmph! Human, I have to admit that you are lucky and cunning, and you actually have a strong dragon like that to protect you." Sarandi's eyes fell on Shia behind him: "Don't you want to say something?
Lord?"
"Uncle Sarandi..." Shia sighed softly.
Salandi Lucifer, one of the royal geniuses at that time and a secret disciple of Emperor White Night, was seriously injured after following Emperor White Night for three hundred years to conquer the human world. After White Night died, Obsidian took the opportunity to seize the power of the Fallen Angel Empire and
When Prince Green, who was appointed by Bai Ye, was driven to Dark Moon, Salandi was recovering from his injuries. However, after he recovered from his injury, he did not help Dark Moon, but instead took refuge in Obsidian. When Prince Green was alive, Shia once met
After meeting Salandi a few times, according to seniority, he should indeed be called uncle.
"I can't afford to be called uncle." Salandi's eyes became sharp, "Lord, please tell me your full name!"
When Chen Rui saw Sarandi scolding Shia, he interrupted: "Sir Sarandi is so majestic and majestic. It seems that he has not yet realized that he is a prisoner. You are not qualified to question any of us."
Sarandi ignored Chen Rui and just stared at Shia.
"Shia. Lucifer." Shia replied calmly.
"Really? I thought it was Shia Asmodeus." Sarandi showed a mocking look.
Shia's expression did not change: "Some things will never change, just like Shia Lucifer. But I don't know when the secret disciple of Emperor Bai Ye changed his worship to Obsidian."
This sharp retort made Chen Rui give up the idea of speaking, and Salandi sneered: "You don't understand at all, what kind of person is Obsidian, worthy of being my teacher? I have only one teacher from beginning to end. Even if
Obsidian has seized the power that originally belonged to your father, but this Fallen Angel Empire is ultimately controlled by the Lucifer royal family! And what about you, Lord? Previously, you and your daughter were suppressed by Obsidian. After all, it is only me, Lucifer.
It’s just an internal struggle within the royal family, and now in order to deal with the imperial capital, you don’t hesitate to betray the Fallen Angel Empire to the Asmodeus clan!”
Shia did not explain too much on this issue: "Chen Rui is right, you are just a prisoner. I don't need to explain anything to you, but you can continue to talk."
"You are able to persist under the suppression of the Imperial Capital until now. You must not be stupid. Don't you know that interests come first in politics? Why would Emperor Catherine of the Shadow Empire help Dark Moon so much? Even if you are really in Caesar
With the support of Lin, he overthrew Obsidian and ascended the throne, but he just became a puppet of the Shadow Empire!"
"Politics is indeed about interests first. However, Dark Moon did not sell out the interests of the Fallen Angel Empire. It only exchanged some interests of equal value with the Blood Wattle Territory of the Shadow Empire."
Sarandi showed strong disdain on his face: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? It's just a matter of magical land improvement and battle ball. Will the Fallen Angel Empire help you eliminate the armies of Lan Melt and Chiyou? Will they install that kind of peak demon?
Are the emperor-level dragons by your side? Will they secretly help Dark Moon's rapid economic and military development? I can't imagine that the most wise man in the demon world would make such a stupid decision, let alone how you can get rid of the control of the Shadow Empire!
"
Sarandi suddenly became excited, clenched his fists, and roared: "Once the Fallen Angel Empire really falls into the hands of others, you will be the most unforgivable sinner! I am also a sinner! I shouldn't have been secretly protecting you.
You father and daughter!”
Shia's eyes showed surprise. It turned out that Salandi was one of the people who had been secretly protecting Dark Moon. It was precisely because of the protection of people like George and Salandi that Obsidian did not dare to blatantly kill Dark Moon.
Kill to death.
"Uncle Sarandi... Shia's firm voice rang out: "I, Shia, swear in the name of Lucifer that I will never betray the Fallen Angel Empire or the Lucifer royal family. If this sentence is even slightly false, my soul will be destroyed.
He will fall into the abyss for eternity and be burned by the fire of hell, with no escape."
Salandi was slightly shocked, stared at Shia for a moment, slowly unclenched her clenched fists, and remained silent. Oaths based on surnames in the demon world are not something that can be made casually, especially this kind of poisonous oath.
Chen Rui saw the opportunity and spoke: "Lord Sarandi did misunderstand. The armies of Chiyou and Lanrong were completely destroyed by Dark Moon with her own power. His Highness Shia also took advantage of the opportunity to rebuild the red blood flames of Emperor Bai Ye.
Although the rapid development of the military and economy initially used the business families of the Shadow Empire to open up the trade route to the west, now the initiative and core of economic development are in the hands of Dark Moon. As for the strong dragon clan, they have nothing to do with the Shadow Empire.
Does it have anything to do with it? I wonder if Mr. Sarandi still remembers that Emperor White Night sealed a sleeping dragon when he put down the rebellion of the Beelzebub clan?"
Sarandi suddenly thought about it: "The poisonous dragon of Lanbo Lake!"
"Yes, Poison Dragon encountered some troubles after waking up. It was the eldest princess who provided great help, so now Poison Dragon is Dark Moon's guest." Seeing that Salandi's attitude relaxed, Chen Rui took the opportunity to add: "Last time in the imperial capital,
The sent assassin, the middle-level Demon Emperor Waumu, has surrendered. Since Lord Sarandi is a disciple of Emperor White Night and has secretly helped and protected Dark Moon for many years, why not..."
Salandi knew what Chen Rui wanted to say, and shook his head before he finished speaking: "I am different from the elders of the elder family. I will not seek refuge in the Dark Moon. Secretly protecting the Green Prince's lineage is just a personal matter.
My real allegiance is not to one person but to the entire Fallen Angel Empire. Although Obsidian is not a great strategist and is far inferior to Emperor Bai Ye, the entire royal family cannot find a more suitable person to rule the empire than him. In the person of Emperor Bai Ye,
After the death, the relationship between the Fallen Angel Empire and the other two empires has remained stable to this day, largely due to Regent Obsidian."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and then said: "You are wrong. The one who really kept the peace in the Three Kingdoms was Emperor Catherine. Emperor Catherine also used the Fallen Angel Empire for the benefit of the Shadow Empire and to avoid being annexed by the Blood Evil Empire.
As a kind of buffer. Not to mention that the Fallen Angel Empire has to 'aid' a lot of materials to the two empires every year as a price. Currently, the Blood Evil Empire is eyeing the Fallen Angel Empire, and there are constant border frictions. Obsidian is involved in a fund-raising incident and is subject to various threats.
The great lord and the family are questioning. If this continues, the Fallen Angel Empire will be weakened step by step due to internal and external troubles. How can it compete with the two great empires? If you continue to follow Obsidian so stubbornly, then the Fallen Angel Empire will fall into disarray.
The true sinner must be rehabilitated."
"Human, your eloquence is as outstanding as your talent, but it's a pity that it is useless. Whether it is personal strength or the power at hand, there is no comparison between His Highness Shia and Obsidian." Sarandi called Shia from "
"Lord" became "Your Highness". It seems that he has believed Shia's oath, but his unwillingness to surrender remains firm.
"I believe that there are many people in the entire Fallen Angel Empire who have the same idea as you. These people are not really serving Obsidian, but for the so-called 'overall situation'." Chen Rui rolled his eyes and took a strong dose of medicine.
, "What if I say that within ten years at most, Dark Moon's strength can defeat Obsidian in all aspects?"
"Ten years?" Salandi glanced at the calm Shia in surprise, and took a deep breath: "If His Highness can really do this within ten years, I, Salandi Lucifer, am willing to become His Highness
The long sword in your hand will kill all enemies on the road ahead for the new queen of the empire, but if your highness is unable to do so, then please put the highest interests of the royal family first and truly submit to the imperial capital."
"It's a deal!" Shia agreed without hesitation.
The strong confidence in Jia's eyes moved Sarandi. She felt that what she had always believed in seemed to be shaken, and she finally nodded.
Salandi didn't know that Shia agreed so unhesitatingly not because she had confidence in herself, but because she had confidence in that human being.
After a while, in a certain house.
Chen Rui looked at Isabella opposite who was making tea for him, and said with a wry smile: "You have become famous this time. Now everyone in the family knows that there is a witch leader in ANBU who kills without blinking an eye, but your methods seem to be a little crueler.
.”
Isabella did not answer Chen Rui's question, but just poured him a cup of tea: "Try it."
"But this is good. At least those guys will be cautious in the future. Even if they are careful, they will be a little more wary." Chen Rui picked up the cup and took a sip, and said: "It is a pity that due to the traitor, the secrets of the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital are
Three of the demonic strongholds, including the Walloon Hotel, were all removed. Fortunately, one stronghold survived. However, because the secret magic communication station was destroyed, it seems that it is quite difficult to obtain accurate information about the imperial capital as soon as possible.
"
"How is my craft?" Isabella asked, her eyes flowing with a hint of charm.
Chen Rui keenly noticed a bit of anger in the charm, shrugged, stopped talking about "business", and took another sip of tea: "This time is good, the brewing time should be a little shorter..."
"Well, I got it." Isabella blinked her charming eyes and nodded seriously. She was really studying tea art very hard. The scene where the two of them were sitting on the floor with the tea set in the middle was quite atmospheric.
"Do you still have the Quqin I gave you?"
With a thought in his mind, Chen Rui opened his palm, and in it was the musical instrument that was forcibly given to him that day.
"Have you had any practice?"
"Well...you know, my time is very tight..."
"So, have you found time to practice?"
"I have to study alchemy in the morning, work in the afternoon, and run around in the evening..."
"I want to hear you play a piece of music."
"..."
Chen Rui was defeated and started playing the Quqin. When he was an earthly otaku, although he liked listening to music, he knew nothing about music theory and could read the staff as ancient tadpole literature.
After coming to the devil world, especially after getting the red piccolo, he deliberately spent a period of hard work learning music theory. With the help of in-depth analysis, he has achieved some success. The Quqin given by Isabella is at the training ground.
When I have free time during practice, I will practice for a while. According to the time rules of the training ground, I have been immersed in it for quite a while.
When the beautiful music sounded in the courtyard, surprise flashed in Isabella's eyes. She came over and sat down, leaning gently on Chen Rui's back, closing her eyes and listening to the music quietly.
After the Nero incident, the two did not have any further escalation of their intimacy, but they only had a tacit understanding that they did not have before.
"What kind of music is this? It's very nice."
"It seems to be called "The End of the World."
"Is the end of the world..." There was a hint of confusion in Isabella's charming eyes, her red lips moved, but there was one sentence she didn't ask.
Chen Rui suddenly felt something that he had not asked, and said three words to himself: "I will do it."
A strange look flashed in Isabella's green eyes, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly in a touching arc. She leaned against him and closed her eyes comfortably: "Can you blow it again?"
"kindness……"
Amidst the beautiful music, the moonlight reflects the shadows of the back to back, like two hearts united together.
