Chapter 15: Athena's friendship

Views:

Chen Rui spent a lot of time explaining under Pagliu's poisonous erosion as if nothing had happened.

When talking about the six-four division of the treasure, he deliberately said "people six dragons four", and Pagliu jumped up all of a sudden: "Dream! Greedy guy, it's you four and me six!"

Sure enough, wealth is the most memorable thing for the Dragon Clan, but it is impossible to forge the symbiosis contract. In all likelihood, this guy has realized it before, and he is doing it deliberately for fun later.

After Pagliu criticized the insatiable greed of the human allies, he dragged him to the diamond chess and showed off his achievements in the past few days. Sure enough, since he left last time, Dulong has been wallowing in it.

Chen Rui looked at the remaining four small stones on the chessboard, but did not comment. He rearranged the stones and moved them. Looking at the last three pebbles left on the chessboard, and counting the number of moves Chen Rui had used, it was Dulong's turn to be injured. In fact, Chen Rui has a simpler method, which can complete the highest level of "genius" in only 18 steps, that is, leaving only one chess piece in the center of the chessboard. Of course, this method is not original by him, but by predecessors. crystallization of wisdom.

Whether it is Huarong Dao or Independent Diamond Chess, Chen Rui has made a smart choice, and has never used the most advanced solution he knows, just to leave more interest and imagination for these users.

Sure enough, when Pagliu heard that there were more and simpler movements than before, he became more interested. But right now is not the time to play this, Dulong glanced at Athena in the distance, and shouted: "Woman! Master Pagliu wants to eat barbecue, you go and hunt some prey, and your man will stay with you." Master Pagliu is playing chess!"

This girl has a good memory for barbecue! Chen Rui looked at Pagliu with contempt. Athena knew that the barbecue was the condition of the "promise" of the poisonous dragon last time, so she didn't say anything more. After a few ups and downs, she disappeared from sight.

"This woman has a mutated bloodline and has two forms. Even if the demon form in battle doesn't meet your aesthetic point of view, she should still be pretty in her usual state." Pagliu squeezed his eyes: "How is it? Is there any? Put her to bed?"

"You are a guy who only thinks about problems with his lower body! How can I have this ability?" Chen Rui said calmly: "Actually, Athena is quite nice, and she is very righteous. I don't want to lie to her, so I just want to be friends." Yes, she should help too."

"You can do whatever you want, as long as you achieve your goal," Pagliu said with a strange smile, "but we dragons have two maxims. There is no true pure friendship between a man and a woman. Friendship is the beginning of love. You have successfully taken the first step." One step, you are indeed a cunning guy!"

Chen Rui knew that he couldn't tell Dulong clearly, so he said, "Pagliu, don't digress. Now that Athena is not here, let's start learning the dragon language inscription."

Hearing this, Pagliu also became serious.

Inscriptions refer to carved words, which are divided into Yin and Yang according to their concave and convex shapes. Dragon language inscriptions are a kind of inscriptions carved using the special spells of the ancient dragon clan. Each individual inscription contains mysterious meanings and can express Powerful power, the stronger the user's own power, the deeper the understanding of the inscription, the greater the power of the carving. Because it is too esoteric, not many dragons are proficient in this way.

A string of inscriptions arranged according to certain rules exerted a power several times that of the sum of the individual inscriptions. Although the power of the dragon language inscription is powerful, due to the source of the creator's power, the inscription's lethality to the dragon itself is much weaker than to other creatures.

Pagliu first taught some basic decomposed glyphs. Chen Rui has a good memory and can memorize them quickly, but it feels very difficult to understand, so he can only memorize them all first, and go back slowly Slow digestion. Seeing that Chen Rui had such a good memory, Pagliu simply taught him a few more complete inscriptions.

Soon, Athena returned with her prey, and Chen Rui started to work as a chef. The last time Dulong ate only the leftover ingredients from Alice and the others, this time it was a feast. After eating the barbecue, Pagliu took a branch and picked his teeth leisurely, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, remember to come back in seven days!"

"Wait," Athena suddenly stood up and asked sharply, "Where's the antidote?"

Pagliu asked suspiciously, "What antidote?"

This foodie! I even forgot about the antidote! Chen Rui quickly asked for help, and while winking at Pagliu, Pagliu finally remembered, showing hesitation, and fumbled for a long time on the clothes, and came up with three small green beads.

Chen Rui felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the sweat pills used to punish people in some novels.

That disgusted look made Pagliu furious, and he put a sound-proof barrier, grabbed Chen Rui by the collar, and said angrily: "You ignorant fellow! This is the Biyingzhu, the special product of the poisonous dragon. Crystallization, eating it can not only quickly heal the injury, but also permanently enhance the body's anti-toxicity. It takes almost two hundred years to produce one! Each one is melted in water, enough for ten people to take it! The next antidote , you solve it yourself!"

It turned out to be Shiquan Dabu Wan, Chen Rui smiled embarrassedly, Pagliu looked at Athena who had drawn out his sword to rescue, smiled meaningfully, and loosened his collar. Chen Rui gave Athena a safe look, and led her away from the lake quickly.

Along the way, Athena kept her head down on the back of the triangular rhino and didn't talk to Chen Rui, looking depressed.

Chen Rui thought that Athena was still afraid of the toxicity in her body, so she handed over a green pearl and said, "Athena, why don't you take this antidote first, we will come back in seven days, it should be fine of."

"It's all my fault!" Athena suddenly clenched her fists, and her long-suppressed mood burst out, "I have been regretting for a few days. If I insisted on not bringing Alice to Lanbo Lake, she would not Poisoned! I really want to fight to the death with the poisonous dragon, the Wells family would rather die in battle than accept threats!"

Chen Rui didn't expect Athena's temperament to be so strong, no wonder Dulong said it was only a temporary solution, seeing that she was really going to find Pagliu desperately, he said quickly: "Wait, if you annoy Dulong, he will Don’t give the antidote anymore, wouldn’t it hurt Alice?”

Athena was hit to the point, and she sat down slumped, with a rare crying voice: "Alice is my best friend, and my Welsh family is greatly favored by Emperor White Night, my father specially sent me to secretly In the Moon Territory, even if you risk your life, you must protect the lineage of Prince Green, but I have committed such an unforgivable mistake! What should I do?"

Chen Rui realized that Athena was not worried about her own safety but about her friend Alice's, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt in her heart: "Athena! I swear with my life, the poison of you, Alice, and Ji Ya will be relieved safely. , if you trust me, take that antidote pill now!"

For the sake of Dulong and her own life, this lie cannot be exposed for the time being, so it is better to give her a psychological comfort first.

Athena raised her head, her reddish eyes looked at the resolute human in surprise, she finally nodded, took Biyingzhu and ate it. Maybe the taste of this tonic was not good, she frowned tightly, and Chen Rui remembered that one green pearl was enough for ten people, which seemed a bit wasteful.

Athena, who came back to her strength, said: "Chen Rui, you are the bravest human being I have ever seen, and you are also a man with a sense of responsibility. These days, I have regarded you as a friend. Is there anything I can do to help you in the future? , just ask, I, Athena. Wells will never refuse!"

"En!" Chen Rui nodded, guessing that he might be the first human being she has ever seen, the bravest and the least brave are actually the same person. But Athena's friend made him think of the two dragon mottos that Dulong said today, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.

"This detoxification pill tastes very spicy, and my throat feels like it's on fire. I'm afraid the little princess won't take it. She's very smart, so she has to think of a way, otherwise she will be noticed."

Chen Rui thought for a while, and said, "I'll figure it out. Don't let her see your flaws. It's fine as usual. The poisonous dragon must not be leaked."

Athena nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone about your acceptance of the inheritance. His Royal Highness Xi Ya has ordered this."

"Don't think about unhappy things, I'll continue telling you about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This time I'm going to talk about the classic battle of the Three Kingdoms powerhouses, the Three Kingdoms vs. Lu Bu." Chen Rui was relieved and determined to make up for Asi in terms of the story. Na, "Lu Bu is the number one powerhouse, and the artifact he uses is a Fangtian painted halberd, and the beast under him is called Chitu..."

Athena's eyes lit up, and she began to listen attentively.

When the rhinoceros arrived at the gate of Dark Moon City, Chen Rui and Asina Qiqi were taken aback. They saw the little Lolita Alice with her hips akimbo, blocking the gate of the city, behind her was a helpless There are many soldiers beside Ji Ya, and the leader is a burly and strong horned demon.

Chen Rui recognized this horned demon as the little leader of the city guard, and they were very respectful to Athena when they left the city in the morning.

Athena and Chen Rui came down from the triangular rhinoceros. Alice looked like "the princess is not happy, the consequences are serious", and the first sentence was: "Athena, you are so mean! You actually went to Lanbo Lake secretly Don’t take me with you! If Gangke didn’t report to me, I wouldn’t even know!”

Chen Rui quickly explained: "Little princess, Athena was entrusted by Master Ardas to protect me to go to Lanbo Lake to collect herbs..."

"Shut up! You cunning human being!" The horned demon named Gang Ke roughly interrupted Chen Rui's explanation, "I now suspect that you are in collusion with the thieves outside the city, come! Capture him first!"

"Clang!" The big sword on Athena's back was out of its sheath, and a forceful aura spread out, and a cold murderous intent appeared in her beautiful red pupils: "Chen Rui is my friend, anyone who dares to move, I will chop it!" Whose head is going to be shot!"

Athena's father was George, the first general of the empire, with a great reputation, and his own swordsmanship was also well-known, so the soldiers were afraid to go forward for a while. Seeing Athena defending human beings in such a way, Gang Ke couldn't help being surprised, and shouted: "Master Athena, don't be fooled by this guy!"

Athena waved her hand, turned her big sword, and slapped Gangk with the back of the sword. Gangk quickly raised the hammer in his hand to parry. With a one-handed blow, the whole person was shortened, and both ankles had sunk into the soil.
