Chapter 7 Mind Reading? Alice’s Bloodline Talent ()
Depression. This was Chen Rui's first impression of Crescent City.
I don’t know if all the cities in the demon world are like this. Including the palace, most of the buildings in Crescent City look old and dilapidated, and there are few shops and stalls for business. There are many ferocious and ugly demons seen along the way, but
Most of them were wearing shabby clothes, and the whole city was filled with a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere.
The appearance of the demon made Chen Rui tremble with fear. If his identity as a human was exposed, his life would be in danger even if he was not eaten.
"Hey! That guy, keep your waist straight, don't clamp your feet too tightly, and relax your shoulders!" Alina's voice interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts, "Thankfully you are still a man, and one of our Wells family can just come out.
The kids are much better than you!"
In fact, Chen Rui said that he was still a virgin and could not be considered a man in the true sense. However, his posture at this moment was indeed a bit weird. He was lying on the back of the triceratops like a toad, with his hands tightly hugging the wide back shell.
, for fear of accidentally falling and being trampled into a cake by this giant beast.
"I'm sorry, it's my first time to ride on such a big thing." Chen Rui was originally thinking about why there are no stirrups, saddles and the like in this world. He just happened to come up with a plagiarism invention, but when he saw that Alice and the others' triceratops were equipped with
A complete set of saddle and harness equipment - it turns out the treatment is just different.
"Don't clamp it so tightly for the first time! Loosen your legs!" Alina scolded carelessly.
Little Loli didn't know whether she really understood or pretended to understand, so she kindly advised: "Alina, don't be so impatient. Of course it will be tight the first time."
This sentence almost made Chen Rui fall off the triceratops. Many demons along the way discovered his weirdness and pointed at him. Fortunately, Chen Rui was wearing a cloak, and his identity as a human was not revealed for the time being. Only a few
The demons who are particularly sensitive to smells looked puzzled. With the little princess and Athena around, no one dared to approach.
When they arrived at the city gate, four triceratops were stopped.
"Your Highness Alice, where are you going?" The person who stopped the Triceratops was a male demon wearing armor. He was tall and strong, with red skin, two huge curved horns on his head, and the outline of his facial features.
Deep, exuding a ferocious aura, from the appearance, he is a big devil.
"It turns out it's the Sheriff, General Allen, who actually went on patrol in person today." Alice smiled slightly: "We are going to Blue Wave Lake."
General Allen frowned and said: "Lambo Lake has been in a bit of trouble recently. I'm worried that there is something wrong with the sleeping poisonous dragon. I have sent scouts to investigate. Your Highness Alice should wait until it is safe before going there to play."
"That poisonous dragon has been sleeping for thousands of years, and it still has Emperor Bai Ye's strongest lock of light and darkness on it, so there is no problem at all." Alice pointed at Chen Rui, "Besides, I'm not going for fun this time...
He is the new apprentice of Master Aldas, and the master asked me to take him to Lake Rambo to collect some medicinal herbs."
Among the two major branches of alchemy, if the tool maker gives people the feeling of "reverence", the pharmacist gives people the feeling of "awe". People are more afraid of those poisons and negative potions, but ignore their healing and benefits.
Effect.
The keywords of a potion master are usually mysterious, terrifying and vicious, and should not be provoked. Aldas is a representative figure of this kind. The screams of potion testers are often heard in the laboratory, and even the palace guards do not care.
Dare to get close, I really don't understand how Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to place such a dangerous person in the outer courtyard of the palace.
Such a mysterious and terrifying potion master actually accepted an apprentice. Allen was curious about who this apprentice was, so he took a second look, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. At this time, Alice asked Chen Rui to take off his cloak.
.
"This is the human being we caught last time!" A soldier behind Allen exclaimed. All kinds of hostile eyes were focused on him for a while. Chen Rui gritted his teeth and kept a natural look, and was already sweating coldly.
It flowed down from my forehead unsatisfactorily.
Allen discovered Chen Rui's identity earlier than the soldiers. He remembered that when he reported to the eldest princess, Master Aldas happened to be present. He personally proposed that this human being should be used as an experimental subject and took him away directly. Now such a prisoner,
Or maybe a slave suddenly transformed into a master's apprentice?
Alice introduced to Allen nonchalantly: "This human's name is Chen Rui. Because he is very talented in pharmacy, he has been accepted as an official apprentice by Master Aldas. He will also be considered a part of our Crescent City in the future.
Already."
Athena added impatiently: "This is what Your Highness Alice and I heard from Master today. If you still have questions, you might as well ask Master Aldas directly!"
"Athena, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I..."
General Allen's attitude towards Athena was a bit strange. Before he finished speaking, Athena coldly interrupted: "Alan, your cross-examination should be over. Don't delay our time to collect herbs!"
Athena's blunt attitude made Allen feel helpless and said to Alice: "Little princess, just in case, I will send a team of soldiers to protect you."
Alice asked with a smile: "Are you worried that Athena can't protect me?"
Athena raised her delicate eyebrows and her red pupils flashed with sharp light. Allen quickly shook his head and looked at Chen Rui with a bit of chill in his eyes: "Human! Don't try to escape or play any conspiracy, otherwise I will
It will crush every bone in your body."
After Allen finished speaking, he bowed slightly to the little princess and signaled her release.
The four triceratops left the city gate with heavy steps. In Darkmoon City, the news that Master Aldas had accepted a human apprentice spread quickly.
"Actually, I think Allen is quite good. His family background and status are very similar to yours." Alice looked at Athena with a smile: "If he hadn't bypassed you and directly proposed marriage to your father, you might not have done so.
Dislike him."
Athena said disdainfully: "I don't like him in the first place! This guy is cowardly and incompetent. He became the Sheriff only because of the power of the Caron family. He only bullies the weak and has no real ability."
The "weak" guy on the side finally heard it. It turned out that there was such a piece of gossip. No wonder the violent woman treated General Allen as if he was an enemy.
"Last time I went to the Rainy Jungle, he must have reported it to the eldest princess. I hate this kind of person the most," Athena sneered: "You still want to take advantage of me? Ask me about the sword in my hand first!"
"That's right, Athena is mine and no one can take it away." The little loli laughed happily, "Let's speed up!"
The Triceratops began to run faster. It was hard to believe that such rapid speed was driven by such a huge body. It was undoubtedly a torture for Chen Rui, who had no auxiliary tools on the rhinoceros' back. He could only use the toad technique to lie on the ground.
He almost fell off several times. Athena found it troublesome and swapped mounts with him. When he saw the violent woman running on the back of the giant rhinoceros at high speed with ease, Chen Rui could only write a word of admiration in his heart.
Compared with the sunny terrestrial world in Arthur's memory, the environment in the demon world is much harsher. The light source comes from two "stars" in the sky. It is said to be a "star", but its light and heat intensity is far inferior to that on the earth.
Most of the time, the sun is obscured by heavy smoke and clouds in the sky. At night, they turn into the "moon" again, emitting a lavender icy glow, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge.
Huge pits formed by long-term corrosion, dark and mysterious unknown caves, and all kinds of strange plants can be seen everywhere along the way, forming a dark and beautiful landscape.
Lanbo Lake is huge in area, surrounded by mountains, and has a particularly quiet environment. The water is blue, the plants on the lakeside are lush, and the flowers are gorgeous. It is like a paradise in the dark world.
However, Chen Rui soon learned from Alice that the reason why the lake was blue was because there was a huge adult poisonous dragon sleeping at the bottom of the lake. The venom on its body dyed the lake blue, and there was not a single living thing in the lake.
Most of the gorgeous and lush flowers and plants by the lake contain highly toxic substances, and some delicate flowers are even carnivorous species. Their beautiful and moving appearance comes from the flesh and blood of prey.
The power of the dragon is quite terrifying, especially this rare dragon that is extremely poisonous and can easily wipe out the entire population of a city, so no one dares to provoke it easily. This poisonous dragon has been sleeping for thousands of people in the lake.
Years ago, just four hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Dark Moon Territory. The most powerful man in the demon world, Bai Ye Emperor, led his army to conquer the city. When passing by Lanbo Lake, he did not dare to wake up the poisonous dragon. In order to let it continue to sleep, he deliberately set a trap
The seal of the Lock of Light and Darkness.
"There is a law in the devil world: the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."
Chen Rui deeply agreed with Alice's words, and quietly added in his heart that the same is true for witches.
The super cute little princess, the seductive maid, the heroic female swordsman, which one is not a dangerous person?
After all, the poisonous dragon sleeping in the lake is not a decoration. Asina and the little princess did not dare to get too close. They carefully chose a relatively safe hilltop. Looking down, they could see the broad lake and the view was very good.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Blue Wave Lake, Athena, do you remember the last time?" Alice suggested enthusiastically: "It's rare to come out, so why don't we have another picnic."
Athena hesitated for a moment: "Didn't that guy Allen say that something strange has happened in Lanbo Lake recently? It's better to pick the fruits and go back quickly."
"Do you really believe what Allen said as a coward?" Alice shook her head disapprovingly: "If you invite him to come with you, he will immediately say that the poisonous dragon has been eliminated, and the Blue Wave Lake is worse than their bathroom.
Safety."
"I won't invite that kind of annoying guy!" Athena snorted coldly, agreeing with Alice's statement in her heart, "Okay then, Jia will go pick green dragon fruits, and I will get some prey. Hey
,Human, just arrange it here with Alice."
In fact, Chen Rui originally wanted to try whether he could use those poisonous flowers to improve the progress of the super system, but considering the terrifying piranha flowers and the big boss in the lake, he immediately put an end to this idea.
After Jia and Athena left, Alice directed Chen Rui to get busy. The bracelet on her wrist was a space equipment that could store items, but the quality level should not be very high. The space inside was not large, and it was stuffed by the little lolita.
It had to be full. As soon as the entrance to the space was opened, a bunch of things fell out, followed closely by another pile.
Chen Rui had no choice but to help her pack it up, and accidentally "picked up" a bunch of underwear. Some of them were actually large-sized lace. Chen Rui was startled. His first reaction was that the world already had such things. His second reaction was that they already existed in the world.
The reaction is that the size does not match a certain part of the little Lolita that has not yet fully developed. Could it be that Alice is some kind of "controller" in the legend?
Under Alice's murderous gaze, Chen Rui pretended not to see the pile of things and turned back to clean up other objects. When he turned around, the pile of things had disappeared.
Alice's storage space was quite complete. Soon, a complete set of picnic equipment was cleared out. It seemed that this little loli was always ready for the trip.
At this time, Athena and Jiya had not returned. Alice looked around and walked towards Chen Rui step by step. Chen Rui felt nervous and asked: "Little princess, do you have any other instructions?"
"That's not the plot," Alice showed a weird smile and said, "You should say, don't come over. If you come over again, I will call someone! Then I will say, no matter how loud you scream, no one will come to save you!"
"
Chen Rui felt a black line hanging from his forehead. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Then I called 'broken throat, broken throat', and then the guy called 'nobody' came to save me?"
Alice looked surprised: "It turns out that the human world also has the book "The Demon King and the Princess"."
Chen Rui smiled enigmatically and did not say anything. It seemed that many things were in common, regardless of plane or race.
But then he couldn't laugh anymore, because Alice said: "Tell me a nice story for this princess. Just like the prehistoric world last time, her imagination is quite rich."
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he defended: "That's not a story, it's a real thing! If I don't inherit Master Wukong's spiritual thoughts, how can I make Huarong Dao and Kong Mingsuo?"
"I'm telling you a secret that even Athena doesn't know." Alice lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "Just when I met you for the first time, I happened to awaken the Lucifer royal family.
I have a special bloodline talent called mind reading, and... I accidentally tried it on you."
Chen Rui was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
