Chen Rui had seriously considered doing this. He was going to the mine anyway, so he might as well just do it. Last night, he received a secret report from Royce. The incident at Princess Square made Joseph wary of him. If he stayed in the mine any longer,
Dark Moon, I'm afraid it will be even more inconvenient to move.
Although Xilang Mountain is dangerous, it is not as good as Youye Wetland. With his strength equivalent to that of a high-level demon, there should be no problem in self-protection. What's more, his real purpose is the spiritual energy of the large number of "wasted mines".
Officer... Anyway, the mine has not improved in all these years, and there is no need to produce results in the short term.
As for Araucus's war contract, he can use the bipedal flying dragon to return secretly. This kind of time difference will make no one doubt that Agulie and Chen Rui are the same person.
"Chen Rui!"
Xia stood up suddenly, but Joseph was the first to speak: "Okay! You are indeed a talent that Her Royal Highness and I value! If you need anything, just ask, I will fully support you!"
Shia frowned and said: "Chen Rui, you have been in Dark Moon for too short a time and do not understand the dangers of the mine. Moreover, your strength is too weak. I don't want to make the situation in the mine worse."
"I am not afraid of danger and am willing to serve His Highness!" Chen Rui had already made up his mind to go to the mine to fish for spiritual energy. His "enthusiastic" eyes fell on Xia's beautiful face. She looked impassioned, but in her heart she changed the word "His Highness" to "His Highness".
It became "spiritual energy".
At this time, several bystanders realized that the reason why the newly appointed recordkeeper was so desperate was entirely out of admiration for the beauty of the eldest princess. However, although His Highness was extremely beautiful, he was also known to be ruthless and ruthless.
How can it be impressed by a small human being?
Some people have richer imaginations and think that Joseph has been trying to please the eldest princess before. After learning that there was such an admired recordkeeper around Shia, he became jealous and wanted to weaken the eldest princess's strength.
Cruelly sending this potential "love rival" to death.
"Princess, since Chen Rui himself is willing to go, why not give him a chance?" Joseph glanced at Chen Rui unexpectedly and said, "To show the sincerity of my recommendation, if Chen Rui can keep Xilang Mountain for many years,
Once the hidden dangers are rectified, I am willing to recommend him to serve as the Sheriff again."
The Sheriff has always been a part-time employee of Darkmoon Guard General Allen. Hearing Joseph's words, Allen's anger surged and he glared at Joseph fiercely. Joseph seemed not to notice,
This proposal reminded everyone of the major event that has been abuzz in the city these days. Sure enough, the Sheriff and the Financial Officer were at loggerheads. In fact, it was Allen who was at fault. Who made him cheat in the arena now, but Allen's losses were also
The biggest, a high-level demon died.
Of course, no one thinks that Chen Rui can come back alive to serve as the peace officer. In the eyes of most people, this human being is already a dead person.
"If that's the case, let's establish a document as proof." Chen Rui's words turned everyone's attention again, "Sir Joseph also said just now, if you need anything, just ask. I have never been to Xilang Mountain.
, I need a magic map of the entire Dark Moon territory, a magic eye compass, a lighting ring, and ten fluorite..."
Chen Rui said a dozen things in one breath, and finally glanced at Joseph sheepishly: "That's probably it. I wonder if you are willing to keep your promise?"
These things seem to be all prepared for going to Xilang Mountain, but there are magic items and magic materials in them. Not only do they collect a little interest before going to Xilang Mountain, but they also make Joseph feel disgusted. If
Nothing happened to the magic shop, these were just a drop in the bucket, and now these things were "robbed" by Allen. Of course, the Sheriff also "righteously" took the blame for the magic materials.
Joseph was stunned for a moment and said a polite word. This human being actually took it seriously. However, the promise had been made in front of so many people, and the other party agreed to go to the mine. Of course, these little things didn't matter. They just bought his life.
"That's no problem. I will send someone to the master's laboratory later to ensure that all the equipment and items are of the highest quality." Joseph smiled even more. "As for the paperwork, which is easier to handle, you will draft it yourself."
, the eldest princess and everyone are witnesses."
Chen Rui wrote the document in triplicate, and the two of them signed it. Joseph took his copy and said with a smile: "Then, please ask our mining officer to prepare it carefully, and as soon as possible
Rush to Xilang Mountain."
Chen Rui nodded, and Xia stared at the book in her hand indifferently, without speaking, still with that eternal ice expression.
On the road outside the palace.
Allen gritted his teeth and said to Joseph: "Why do you want to gamble with my Sheriff! Is your sincerity last night just a cover?"
It turned out that Joseph had a secret meeting with Allen last night. Thanks to Joseph's superb diplomacy, Allen, who originally hated him to the core, made peace again. Those magic equipment and other things were used to compensate for Mikas' "accident"
Death, the two sides also reached an important agreement, and continued to pretend to be at odds on the surface to paralyze Shia's faction.
However, Allen's anger today was not a fake act of cooperation, but came from the bottom of his heart. Obviously, Joseph's gambling with the position of Sheriff aroused his real anger.
Joseph looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand and asked in a leisurely manner: "Otherwise, how can we continue to play out the good show of our enmity? Don't you want to watch that human being die step by step?"
Allen's anger subsided a little, and Joseph said again: "Or do you really think that human being can come back alive from Xilang Mountain? The monsters and thieves there are just the 'cover' in your mouth?"
Allen also reacted at this time: "Yes, even if he is really immortal, you can still send someone to kill him, just say he was killed by a monster or a thief!"
"My friend, you finally understand." Joseph smiled slightly: "Now all the items in the magic shop have been given to you. I don't have the things that humans just mentioned, so it's up to you."
"Hmph, I have no use for maps and compasses anyway, but I don't have the fluorite ones. You can figure it out on your own!" Although he seemed to be reconciled on the surface, the thorn in Allen's heart was never removed and he said,
Ignoring Joseph, he strode away.
Looking at Allen's back, the dissatisfaction and contempt in Joseph's eyes flashed, but he did not speak in the end.
In the meeting hall, Chen Rui was left alone.
Shia kept staring at him. The invisible pressure made Chen Rui very uncomfortable. After a long time, the Ice Princess said three words: "Why?"
"Because I really want to go to Xilang Mountain. This is true." Chen Rui answered honestly.
"Tell me the truth? The position of the Sheriff is indeed very important to Dark Moon, but why should you risk your life? In the face of absolute power, wisdom can hardly play a role, so you have no chance of winning this time. Xilang Mountain's
You should be very aware of the dangers. If you fail, you may die."
Chen Rui understands that wisdom is just a cloud in the face of absolute power, so when necessary, use strength to overwhelm strength.
"Don't worry, I will come back. In fact, what I want to say is that this is part of the Grand Master's test."
"This excuse is too lame," Shia shook her head, "I don't understand, I really don't understand. Maybe this can be understood as a way for you to impress me?"
Understand? It's "reasoning"... Chen Rui's expression froze - he was obviously giving an honest answer, but this person didn't believe it yet.
Ever since the last mistake in the garden, the misunderstanding about beauty has continued. However, as a healthy male...that's right, he is a normal man. He is inevitably a little cautious about his beautiful female boss, and besides, he can see
It feels really good to see Shia's rare smile or hear a simple word of concern.
However, with the powerful "reasoning bloodline" of the Lucifer family, his role as "admirer" is played passively most of the time.
"I said, I do it for myself. If you don't believe me, I can't help it." Chen Rui sighed, but still did not express his admiration in troubled waters.
Shia shook her head: "If you lose your life, what will happen even if you are moved?"
"Really... can you impress me?" Chen Rui's heart moved and he asked out of nowhere. The conscience of heaven and earth, there is absolutely no scheming at this time.
"Is there any practical significance between being impressed and not being impressed?" Shia sighed, "Actually, with your wisdom, you should know that it is absolutely impossible for us. You have gained my trust, but you can only stop here. Maybe
I should adopt the suggestion of old Gauss and use the distant beauty temptation to retain your talent, but I don’t plan to do this. To be honest, the feeling you give me is very special, and I haven’t experienced this feeling again for a long time.
I even thought that I had forgotten how to feel it, this feeling... like..."
Speaking of this, Shia's originally expressionless face actually had a trace of fluctuation, trembling slightly, and finally returned to being neither happy nor sad.
"This feeling is like being a friend." Chen Rui added. He didn't expect that old Gauss had such a suggestion. It was interesting, but unfortunately, the boss didn't accept it.
Although there is a little regret in her heart, it is more enriching and touching. Athena knows that she has a slight affection for him, but it is probably just "a little". Alice is more playful and curious. As for Hope,
Ya...he is not so narcissistic as to think that beauties in the demon world will like him for no reason. It is quite surprising that he can be so honest about it.
This should be her first time since becoming a lord.
Maybe it's pity for a dying person, maybe it's just to make him give up... But, honesty is honesty.
"'Friend'? I don't know, maybe." Shia's eyes gradually cooled down: "I am not only the lord of Dark Moon, but also a direct descendant of White Night Emperor. I have a heavy responsibility. These two words are a luxury for me, but for you
To me, it's bad luck. I don't want to discuss this aspect anymore. You just signed the document insistently. Apart from escaping from the dark moon, the only other way to go is to go to the mine. Have you thought clearly?"
"I have thought it through," Chen Rui nodded affirmatively: "Go to the mine."
"Then, no matter what method you use, you must persist for half a year! After half a year, even if you have no achievements, I can use my privileges to transfer you back again. Joseph will have nothing to say even if he has the paperwork in hand."
Chen Rui is thinking that if it takes half a year, he can go to Youye Wetland, but the prerequisite is to pass the level of Araukes and then further improve his strength.
"It shouldn't be a problem in half a year. The great master's inheritance really needs to go out, and it happened to be solved on the way. I also want to take the two-legged dragon with me. By the way, I can also persuade Agulie to come and escort him secretly. After all, he and I have a relationship
Symbiosis contract, if I die, he will die too."
Shia was reminded of the symbiosis contract and asked: "The flying dragon is no problem, but Agulie will have a decisive battle with Araukes in about a month! Aren't you afraid that he will lose? Your lives are already connected.
Together."
Yes, they are indeed connected together. Chen Rui smiled slightly, his smile full of confidence.
"He won't lose."
Shia stared at him for a moment, without asking any more questions about Agulie. She took off a ring from her hand, waved her hand, and slowly flew over, floating in front of Chen Rui.
ps: The old rule is that the discussion area will be unified and refined after 12 o'clock in the evening.
