Chapter five hundred and seventy-two complete treasure
In the evening of the next day, Chen Rui came to the Royal Hotel wearing a mask and cloak. Cafu and Celine were very busy these two days. In addition to the palace banquet, there were also many social invitations, which were simply overwhelming.
These invitations from big families or powerful people are mainly to implement Shia's strategy and ask for directions. Now "Agulie"'s visit is naturally reasonable.
Chen Rui bowed slightly to Cafu and Celin: "The general and Miss Celin are old friends of His Majesty Shia and Dark Moon. Since I am here as a special envoy, there are many inconveniences, so this time I have accepted the honor of Xi Ya."
I came here at His Majesty’s personal request to extend my most sincere condolences to both Your Excellencies.”
The two of them quickly returned the gift, and Cafu said: "I understand that this mission is not an ordinary friendly visit. From the perspective of a friend, I don't want to come. It's just that Catherine the Great has an order and cannot disobey it.
If I offend you in any way, please apologize to His Majesty Shia on my behalf."
Kafu is a veteran, and the meaning of these words is very obvious. As an envoy, it is his duty to negotiate. He must fight for every inch of territory, and he will not give in because of friendship. I will accuse him first.
"As for the general," Chen Rui said with a smile in his voice: "Everyone is his own master now. If he abandons private affairs for public service, he will not be the General Cafu we know, nor will he be the father whom General Monroe revered.
."
These words are thorny. Kafu once received the Devil Fruit as a gift from Shia, and with the help of Dark Moon, he helped solve the big problem of the underground mineral veins in the Crystal Valley. Shia also took in Kafu's son Monroe, who was wanted by the country.
, and Kafu's rewards, including the goblin warriors and magician legions, now seem to have come from Catherine's instructions, rather than real repayments.
From the perspective of the empire, Kafu's behavior was understandable. He even almost gave up his son for the empire, which was considered loyal, but from the perspective of a friend, it was very unreasonable.
Chen Rui's words made Cafu blush slightly, and Hao Ran said: "I feel ashamed to say it. The problem of the underground mineral veins in the Crystal Valley was solved by His Excellency Agulie, and Monro was also rescued by His Excellency Agulie. Now he still holds an important position in Dark Moon. I
I have never had a chance to repay you. I keep this affection in my heart. If you need it in the future, just come to the Shadow Empire to find me. I will do my best and never refuse."
Chen Rui knew that Cafu would not give in in the negotiation because of his personal relationship. He did not want to embarrass Cafu too much, so he nodded: "Okay, if there is any difficulty, I will definitely come to trouble the general. I am already at the Cape Hot Pot Restaurant in the Imperial Capital.
A banquet has been set up, if the general and Miss Celine don't mind being rough, how about we go have a drink together?"
Cafu had previously agreed to Stiller's invitation. Stiller was the main opponent in this negotiation. Cafu also wanted to find out the true nature of his opponent, but unexpectedly Chen Rui "killed" him midway, and he suddenly looked embarrassed.
Cafu thought to himself that he had just mentioned the kindness of the other party, and it would be unreasonable to refuse immediately now. He was about to grit his teeth and agree, but Celine, who had been silent all the time, spoke up: "General Cafu has already promised Lord Stiller a long time ago.
I’m about to go to the Bol family, so I can’t miss the appointment. Let’s do it. I haven’t tasted Dark Moon’s authentic hot pot for a long time. I wonder if I would be honored to have a few drinks with Mr. Agulie alone?”
As soon as these words came out, "Agulie" naturally couldn't shirk the blame and immediately agreed. So the three of them left the hotel together. Cafu and his entourage went to the Bol family for a banquet, while Chen Rui and Celine sat on the
Got the carriage and walked towards the hotpot branch opened by the Beijiao Cloak Club in the Imperial Capital.
After Cafu separated from the two of them, he secretly praised Celine along the way for her knowledge of adapting to changes. Little did he know that Chen Rui knew early on that he was going to the Boer family for a banquet. He just found an excuse to meet Celine alone.
That's all.
The hot pot restaurant is located in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital and is quite large. The business is quite booming. Chen Rui and Celine came to the VIP room. After the food and wine were served, all the attendants left. Chen Rui activated the soundproof magic circle prepared in advance and nodded.
Said: "You can talk now."
Celine knew Chen Rui's incarnation early on. She had seen his look and offered to come to the banquet on Kafu's behalf. Now that the two were alone, she immediately lifted the veil and bowed deeply: "I have met the master."
Celine is only eighteen years old, with a sweet and lovely appearance, especially a pair of tall and round breasts that are not commensurate with her age. She has a standard childish face and is filled with the allure of youth. However, she is such a seemingly innocent and lively person.
The girl from Bo fought off her two brothers who were vying for the position of clan leader and ascended to the position of controller of the number one business family in the Shadow Empire. Everyone in the Custer family obeyed her methods.
Celine is indeed talented. She has managed the Custer family in an orderly manner, and the family business has become increasingly prosperous. She has also been appreciated and reused by Queen Catherine. In fact, she also has another most important identity, that is, Chen Rui
As a servant, Celine's status and power today can be said to have been facilitated by Chen Rui back then, and the master-servant contract also prevented her from having second thoughts.
Celine is extremely smart and knows that this master is the fiancé of Shia, the new queen of the fallen angels, and will probably control the entire empire in the future. Her personal strength is equally unpredictable, and her expression looks very humble.
"Sit down, no need to be polite."
Celine poured a glass of wine for Chen Rui respectfully, and then sat down with him: "Master, please give me your orders."
This posture was completely different from the last time they met in Leia Town. Chen Rui nodded secretly: "This time you and Kafu are on an envoy, did Emperor Catherine give a time limit for negotiations? Is there any time limit for negotiations?
Explain your bottom line?"
"I am just a deputy, responsible for assisting General Kafu. Even if there is a special explanation, only Kafu knows about it. As for the time limit... From the time we arrive at the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital, there must be a result within seven days. If Shia
If we keep delaying it, we will show this deadline on the last day and catch the Fallen Angel Empire by surprise."
Celine did not say what would happen if "negotiations failed within seven days", but Chen Rui could already guess that the Shadow Emperor would not give Shia too much time, and would definitely stir up civil strife in the Fallen Angel Empire. By then, the empire would be in chaos.
, even if there is no war, Shia has lost the capital to fight against Catherine and will be completely controlled by others.
"Seven days..." Chen Rui pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "Has Emperor Catherine ever asked you about matters related to 'Master Arthur'?"
"I asked. I followed the master's instructions. I said that when I used the power of Master Arthur and Dark Moon to ascend to the position of the Custer family, I originally wanted to use seduction and the family's financial resources to firmly bind Master Arthur.
But unexpectedly, the master suddenly disappeared. Before the Custer family stationed in Dark Moon, I reported it to Her Majesty Catherine and got permission."
Chen Rui nodded thoughtfully, took out a special communication talisman and put it on the table: "You did a good job. During this period, you are the shadow envoy. Don't show any flaws. If there is an emergency, you can use
Contact me with this messenger."
"I understand, Master." Celine took the communication talisman and put it away, and said: "Master, you asked me to look for something last time. By chance, I found this. I don't know if it meets the Master's requirements.
, please take a look.”
Saying that, Celine took out something. Chen Rui's eyes narrowed, and it turned out that what Celine took out was an ancient and broken leather scroll. This leather scroll was very familiar to him, because he already had one in his hand.
I got four copies of the same thing: treasure map fragments!
This is indeed a surprise!
Chen Rui quickly took out the half-assembled fragment of the scroll in his hand. When the leather scroll that Celine brought came close to the fragment, the fragments glowed faintly and merged together perfectly, becoming one.
A complete map.
After the map was restored to its complete state, its original appearance suddenly changed. It moved like an animation, and an ocean appeared. There is only one place with such geographical features in the Demon World, the Sea of Death. Back then, Chen Rui got the second
When the fragmentary scroll was opened, the goblin profiteer once said that the treasure map records the location of the secret treasure in the Sea of Death. This secret treasure was left by the Dark Dragon King who dominated the demon world hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it contains countless treasures.
Treasure, now it seems, is not just a lie.
It's just that this treasure map looks like a vast ocean. Chen Rui looked at it for a long time and found no special marks or hints. He was a little confused. After finally putting together the treasure map, could it be that he just determined the location before death?
Somewhere in the sea? The Sea of Death is so big, how to find it? Or do you need to bring the map to the Sea of Death to be effective?
With the eyesight of Master Chen Rui, it can be seen that the treasure map is made of a special material. It is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. This material is very sensitive. If it is cracked using violent means, it is very likely that it will be broken.
The entire treasure map will be reduced to ashes. It seems that unraveling the secrets will require a lot of research.
This time Chen Rui just planned to go to the Sea of Death. As long as the secret of the treasure map is unlocked, there may be unexpected big gains by then.
"You did a good job!" Chen Rui put away the treasure map and showed approval to Celine: "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Celine lowered her head and said: "It is my duty to serve the master. I dare not ask for rewards."
Chen Rui knew that this girl's scheming and methods were extraordinary, so he said: "I have always made clear rewards and punishments. Your ability and loyalty satisfy me very much. Just say whatever you want without being restrained."
Celine glanced at him hesitantly and bit her lip: "Can I become the master's concubine?"
Since the master-servant contract only limits one person, the master can give up her life at any time and choose a more valuable servant. Judging from the relationship between "Master Arthur" and the succubus Jiya, the master treats his woman very well, so Sai
Lin wants to dedicate herself to become Chen Rui's woman, greatly reducing the threat of being abandoned. Not only that, the master has supported Shia from the Dark Moon Lord to the Fallen Angel Empire. It is very likely that the Fallen Angel Empire will also be under the master's control in the future. If
Being close to him would mean an extra escape route for the Custer family and her.
Chen Rui really has no other thoughts about Celine. When it comes to devotion, those two thousand lanterns are not inferior to Celine in terms of loyalty or beauty. He frowned and vaguely guessed how much Celine was.
Distracted in thought, he shook his head: "I know what you are worried about. My power is beyond your imagination. You are not the only servant I have signed a contract with. Loki, the deputy general of Jergo Fortress, is also one of them. He is here now.
Imperial Capital, do you want to meet him?"
Celine was shocked. Of course she knew that Loki was a close aide of Bai Luo, the first general of shadows, and a powerful Demon King. Unexpectedly, he also became the master's servant. From this point of view, the master has more than one contract that he can manipulate!
What does this mean?
Celine's expression fell into Chen Rui's eyes, and she smiled lightly. In fact, Loki was not a servant, but a puppet, but using this "acquaintance" as an example was obviously more convincing to Celine.
"I can tell you a secret. I am the inheritor of a demigod. If I recover completely, it will not be difficult to reach the demigod level. You are a smart man, do you understand what I mean?"
Demigod inheritance! This sentence brought a stronger shock to Celine, and then she suddenly realized: No wonder the master's strength has leapt so fast. At the time of the weapon maker competition, he was just a big devil, and later in Leia Town, he could compete with
Queen Catherine's secret guard, Terdira, the middle-level demon emperor, competes with her, and now, the fallen angel regent Obsidian has killed the peak demon emperor. Such a terrifying upgrade speed... turns out to be the inheritor of the demigod!
The meaning behind Chen Rui's last sentence made Celine's heart beat fiercely, because according to legend, only strong men who have reached the demigod level can lift the restrictions of the contract. So what the master means is to wait until his strength returns to the demigod level.
…
If another person said this, Celine would never believe it, but the "miracle" created by Chen Rui was something she witnessed with her own eyes, even if it was the strongest Lei Chan or the Emperor Catherine of the Shadow Empire
It is impossible for them to have such a terrifying progress speed, and have more than one servant contract ability.
"Understood! Master!"
Celine's last extra little thought was completely restrained, and her loyalty suddenly increased to the highest point. The master's strength has really reached the level of a demigod, and there is indeed no need to use a contract to bind her servant. The demon world respects the strong.
, if it can be protected by the power of a powerful demigod, the Custer family will prosper for generations to come, and even the emperor of the empire will not be able to shake it.
"Since you don't want rewards this time, then reward them together next time." Chen Rui took out a list, "Also, try every means to collect the materials listed in this list. The quantity can only be more but not less.
"
These materials are all needed for the remains of ancient alchemical civilizations. Some of them are very rare, and the required quantities are large and difficult. Celine took a look at the list and showed a hint of surprise, but did not say much.
Carefully put it into the space ring: "Master, please rest assured, I will complete it in the shortest possible time."
Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction. When Celine gathered these materials, he would go to the Sea of Death to find Blue Star Heavy Water and Ghost Coral. By then, Star Glory City would be able to return to its peak state and have a powerful army of ancient alchemical civilization.
