Chen Rui completely ignored Garfield's anger and apologized to Gralin: "The tree is big and has dead branches. Even the Roland royal family will inevitably have such uncultivated and rude people, which makes Sir Gralin laugh.
"
"I understand," Gralin naturally sighed in agreement: "However, Your Highness Garfield, as an imperial prince, I think you should really pay attention to your own cultivation. This is not what an elder brother should do to his younger brother.
Attitude, and we are brothers who have only reunited after being separated for many years. I believe Emperor Rex doesn’t want to see you like this either.”
Seeing the two people singing and singing, the resentment in Garfield's eyes became even stronger, but he knew he must not let it out, otherwise once things got bigger, with Glalin as a very important "witness", he would be the only one who would suffer.
Extremely humiliating.
After all, Garfield was not an ordinary person. He quickly calmed down and laughed a few times: "Lord Gralin is right, I was rude. Brother Three Emperors, I'll take my leave first. We have a long time to come, and there is still a chance for our brothers to get close."
It’s a lot, so you must take good care of it.”
"That's right, Brother Second Emperor, I am also very much looking forward to the day when you can regain your glory." Chen Rui seemed not to understand the threat in Garfield's words, but said with a sincere face.
This guy really didn't care about anything. The veins in Garfield's temples almost burst out with blood. He barely suppressed the rage in his heart, snorted coldly, and left the hall without looking back.
When Samuel saw the second prince Garfield, who had persecuted him and his family several times, being so angry by Chen Rui that he almost vomited blood and left angrily, he felt relieved.
Chen Rui smiled at Samuel and winked. Samuel understood and left the hall, guarding the door.
Chen Rui then said to Gralin: "Thank you so much for your words."
"With a little effort, His Royal Highness Arthur is too polite." Gralin understood that the other party was deliberately giving him this "favor" and said, "Actually, I am very presumptuous in coming today..."
"I have already guessed the purpose of your visit." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Let me ask first, is there any conflict between the throne and the Holy Son?"
As soon as this question was raised, Gralin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Of course there is no conflict! Whether you want to be the emperor of the Longhuang Empire or the next pope of the church, the church will be your most solid backing. If you want
It’s not impossible to have both!”
"Really?" Chen Rui added in his mind, 'Actually, I'm not interested in either thing,' and still kept a smile on his face, "In other words, the Church of Light will support me in my fight for the throne, and even if the competition fails, I will still have the Saint of Light."
This back road through the mountains?”
"That's right."
"Then the other two sacred objects..."
"Since we have made it clear, let me make it clear." Gralin hesitated for a moment. "The sacred objects involve the two holy empires. Even if the church wants to intervene and obtain them, it will be very difficult. Now it is time to unite all countries to deal with them.
At this critical moment for the Black Death Apostles, it is not appropriate to cause additional conflicts. However, I have a solution. Since His Highness is the prince of the Longhuang Empire, as long as he inherits the throne, the Holy Light Robe belonging to the Longhuang Empire will be within easy reach. As for the Holy Grail
...Princess Lambis of the Lanyao Empire is His Highness’s fiancée. Your Highness can get some relevant clues from her, and then the church will come forward to try to solve it. What do you think, Your Highness?”
This passage made Chen Rui think seriously. Then he showed a strange expression: "Why do I feel like I am firmly tied to the church?"
"I feel honored for this, Your Highness." Gralin heard the mystery of these words. He was overjoyed, "In fact, from the moment Crown of Thorns chose His Highness, Your Highness has already stood on the same front as the church.
."
"I don't know whether I should feel sorry or grateful for the honor given to Lord Gralin." Chen Rui shrugged with a pun, "However, I can't give you a formal answer now."
"It doesn't matter, I already know His Highness's ambitions and intentions. This is enough. If you bother me too much today, I will come to visit Your Highness next time." Gralin, who thought he had made great achievements, did not pay attention to anything more and left happily.
And go.
In the next few days, Chen Rui patiently met all the people who came to visit one by one, including Samuel's father, Joanna's father, etc. The fourth prince Luke later visited again.
Princess Mayfair came almost every day, and she and Isabella seemed to have become close friends who talked about everything.
A few days later, Chen Rui was summoned by Emperor Rex again, this time in the main hall of the palace.
Chen Rui has now basically met most of the upper-class nobles. In addition to Emperor Rex on the throne, there are two princes, Garfield and Luke, five heads of the two houses and three divisions, and a
A strange old man wearing a long robe with gray hair and beard looked sleepy. He was actually sitting, and there was a pretty brown-haired girl standing next to him.
"Your Majesty." Chen Rui bowed to Rex.
Rex in the main hall is completely different from that in the garden. He looks harsh and indifferent, without any unnecessary emotions, and exudes the majesty of a king.
"Arthur, you told me last time that your inheritance is the ancient alchemical civilization?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Rui clearly felt that the seemingly sleepy old man had been secretly sizing him up, and he already understood something in his heart.
"This is Grandmaster Qikui, one of the two remaining masters of weapon making in mankind." Rex raised his hand to the old man, "He is somewhat interested in the inheritance you have obtained."
Garfield's eyelids twitched, and Luke's eyes clearly flashed with a strange light. This was clearly a recommendation to become a disciple. Arthur's cultivation qualifications have always been very weak. Even after seven years of so-called "inheritance", it was only
It is only a soldier-level strength, not even a master-level one. If you can find a weapon-making master as a backer, the benefits will be self-evident to "Arthur" himself or to the entire Longhuang Empire.
However, Grandmaster Qikui is not the kind of teacher in name only. In this way, "Arthur" is equivalent to embarking on another path. If he wants to truly succeed in his studies, it will take at least ten years or even decades.
Such a long time is enough for a lot of changes to occur. In short, the distance between "Arthur" and the throne will only get farther and farther.
Garfield was convinced, no wonder his father Rex never mentioned returning the Jin Yao territory to "Arthur". It turned out that he had this plan.
Chen Rui looked at Grandmaster Qi Kui and then at Rex, and he felt clear in his heart: From Rex's point of view, this decision was a win-win situation. It not only settled the sudden appearance of "Arthur", but also prevented him from doing so.
It had an impact on the already relatively balanced political situation and also attracted a master of weapon making.
"Arthur Roland, you're polite." Chen Rui gave Qi Kui a seemingly ancient courtesy.
The rest of the people did not understand the meaning of this etiquette, and thought it was some kind of etiquette from the ancient alchemical civilization. Qi Kui's eyelids moved, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. The girl with short black hair even changed her expression, and blurted out: "Ah
Your Highness, do you understand the true meaning of this etiquette?"
This is not the etiquette of the alchemical civilization, but an ancient etiquette of alchemists. What Prince Arthur showed to Grandmaster Qikui was actually a courtesy to his "peers", not to his "teacher"!
Instead of explaining, Chen Rui smiled, and then began to look at the girl's hot figure unscrupulously.
Under such eyes, the girl felt as if she was naked, and her heart was filled with rage. As one of the five direct disciples of Grandmaster Qi Kui, a newly promoted master of tool making, and the most outstanding talent of the new generation of tool making, she was not a god.
The existence of such a proud daughter was actually humiliated by this ignorant prince today!
If this wasn't the palace of the Longhuang Empire, I'm afraid the girl would have had a seizure.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... what a pity." Chen Rui shook his head, with a look of regret on his face, "What a pity."
"Arthur, don't be rude!" Emperor Rex noticed something was wrong, "This is the direct disciple of Grandmaster Qikui. The most famous tool-making genius in the human world, Master Pelusi, please apologize to Master Pelusi.
"
"Master? What a pity," Chen Rui still shook his head, "Miss Pelusi should be proficient in props. There are thick calluses on the side of your left thumb and the second knuckle of your middle finger, which shows that you like to use a small awl.
Tools like this are used with right-hand-operated button drills and spiral needle knives to perform enchanting using the spiritual rune array method. This is a highly difficult enchanting technique, and the effect is about 20 to 30% higher than direct 'attunement', but it has a negative effect on mental power.
The control requirements are very high, you must multi-purpose, and it is easy for the magic patterns to intersect, thus affecting the overall effect. Your mental power level is enough, but the purity seems to be insufficient, so the failure rate is very high. The back of your hand
Above are impact spots caused by failed enchantments. Even with medicine, it takes about a month for these spots to fade. From the spots on the back of your hands, it can be seen that you suffered at least three failed enchantments ten days ago.
But you should have succeeded in the end..."
Chen Rui's eyes fell on Pei Luxi's ears again: "If I guess correctly, your work... should be the pair of red glazed, purple coral, star powder, glazed sand, mithril, and blue incense
It is a quasi-legendary earring made from liquid. It increases mental concentration by 43%, mental induction by 30%, and physical and mental recovery speed by 35%. This prop can actually improve your ability to perform mental rune array enchantments.
Successful efficiency is just a pity..."
Pelusi was completely shocked. This rude person who thought she was "uneducated and incompetent" actually saw her characteristics in tool making just from her hands. What's even more incredible is that she is now wearing
This pair of earrings, whether it was the production time, the number of failures, the equipment attributes, or even every material used, were all accurately stated by the other party!
What kind of talent is this? No, it is no longer an ordinary talent. To be more precise, it is an achievement!
With his extraordinary attainments in instrument making, Prince "Arthur" must also be a genius as an instrument maker, and he may even be even better than her!
"What's a pity?" The person who spoke was Pelusi's teacher, Grandmaster Qikui, with a rare seriousness in his originally lazy eyes. (To be continued...)
