After everyone left, only Xi Ya and Chen Rui were left in the conference hall.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency the new Sheriff." Facing the fact that Joseph's intentional anger had long since disappeared, Xia said with emotion, "Your plan is amazing, and Joseph really took the initiative to push you to be the Sheriff. s position."
In fact, Joseph would not have made up his mind to push Chen Rui to the top if "Agulie" hadn't "communicated" with Joseph in advance, but Chen Rui would definitely not reveal these inside information, just smiled: "If there is no The cooperation between the eldest princess and the Saifo family will definitely not achieve this effect. Next, the eldest princess can send someone to control and rectify the guard army, I just need to make a decoration."
"Kagulon will be in charge of the Imperial Guard," Xia said with a faint look in his eyes, "Since you have already served as the Sheriff, the Guard will be handed over to you?"
"I can't do this!" Chen Rui shook his head hastily, trying to come up with an idea to make trouble behind his back, and it's okay to lead soldiers. Moreover, the identity of "Chen Rui" is a powerless human being, so we can't expose his true identity because of this. Strength.
"Don't underestimate your ability, and you can ask Athena to help you." Shea glanced at him, and suddenly added: "There is another piece of advice, the bloodline talent of the Wells family is very special, if you really For Athena's sake, don't cross that last line until she's twenty."
Chen Rui showed surprise. The matter between him and Athena was not made public. Even the little Lolita could only vaguely guess a little bit, but it is estimated that Xi Ya also guessed. Ever since Athena asked to accompany Chen Rui At Xilang Mountain, Xi Ya should have seen some clues.
Chen Rui could hear that Xi Ya's voice was slightly lonely, Xi Ya didn't give him time to explain or think, and continued nonchalantly: "Since this is the case, I think that a promise you made before you went to the mine should be fulfilled." Yes, that's Ji Ya."
This is a rehash of the past, Chen Rui frowned and said, "Can I refuse this reward?"
A few months ago, after Ji Ya learned about this incident, the relationship between her and Chen Rui, which was still relatively harmonious, suddenly became estranged. In the past, Ji Ya liked to go to picnics with Alice, but when she went to the mangrove forest a few days ago, Alice offered to ask Ji Ya to go, but she refused, obviously avoiding Chen Rui.
To be honest, when he first came to the Demon Realm, Chen Rui still had a bit of flirtatious thoughts about this seductive witch, but now he doesn't feel this way at all, and he doesn't want to force others to make things difficult for him.
"This is actually not a reward, but a task." Xi Ya shook her head and said, "Jiya was rescued by me by chance, and then became my maid, but... this 'accident' is very likely It's man-made. Don't underestimate this succubus, her mind and strength are far beyond your imagination."
After becoming Shea's maid, Ji Ya has been doing her best and earning Shea's trust. However, by chance, Old Gauss discovered that she possessed powerful spiritual power. If she was a magician, her strength was even higher than that of Old Gauss himself, so he immediately reported it to Shia.
No matter what method was used to interrogate, Ji Ya just said that she had recently awakened the mutation talent, and voluntarily wore the magic ring to show her innocence, which is a powerful tool to confine mana.
Although there was nothing to criticize in this reason and attitude, Shia had already become suspicious, and instead of keeping Gia by her side, she gave it to Alice. In fact, old Goss also secretly tried to use the master-servant contract, but it didn't work for Ji Ya. It is very likely that she already has her own master or servant, and the origin is not simple.
"Your task is to find out her origin, and if possible, subdue her completely so that the pawns placed by the enemy around us can be used by us instead. In addition to her excellent magic talent, Ji Ya also has the mutation talent of devouring body , can swallow the power of the essence of the target and turn it into her own use. This kind of mutation talent is very rare, and it is so powerful that even the devil emperor cannot be completely exempted. The magic ring can only limit her magic power, but cannot imprison this talent. However, there is one secret treasure that can suppress this devouring power—that is the 'Dark Will' I gave you!" Xi Ya's eyes fell on Chen Rui's finger, but she didn't find the ring, and she frowned slightly.
Chen Rui noticed Xi Ya's displeasure, and with a thought, the storage warehouse came into play, and he opened his clenched fist, holding this secret treasure of the Lucifer royal family in his palm: "I think you need this secret treasure more than I do, now I have come back from Xilang Mountain, I wanted to return it to you."
"This is a gift from me. I don't plan to take it back." Xi Ya glanced at the ring and shook her head lightly. "This secret treasure is Sakya. Lucifer's favorite concubine Xuehan. Belial used the most The power of the Eye of the Strong Evil King is mixed with the blood of Lucifer's royal family to forge a secret treasure ring. In addition to teleportation and mental resistance, it also has special functions in matters of men and women, which is enough to suppress Ji Ya's devouring physique."
Chen Rui didn't expect that "The Will of Darkness" would have miraculous effects, and suddenly remembered another "Passion Ring" from Lomon in the warehouse. Po, it's a pity that this mystery has not been solved yet.
Shea's tone turned cold: "You only need to wear the ring, and you can possess Ji Ya without being affected by the power of devouring. Succubus are naturally attractive to men, but their desire for men is also higher than that of ordinary women. .When the conditions are ripe, completely possessing her body and mind may be a good way to subdue her. Our current plan has reached a relatively critical stage, and there must be no mistakes. If it is determined that she cannot be subdued, then we can only subdue her Completely obliterate to avoid future troubles!"
The indifference of easily manipulating the life and death of others seems to remind Chen Rui that she is an indifferent and ruthless female lord in front of her.
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I have to complete this task? Can't I hand it over to someone else?"
"The Will of Darkness was secretly escorted by Athena three years ago. Almost no one knows that it is in my hands, and besides you, I don't plan to give it to anyone else... Only you can complete this task." Ario paused, showing admiration, "Speaking of which, Ji Ya is only a task, I don't know what reward I should give you."
"Reward? No need, I don't have much credit anyway." Chen Rui rubbed his nose, "And I'm already a magistrate, if I'm found to be abusing my power and pocketing my own money in the future, please turn a blind eye to Your Highness the Eldest Princess." Eyes will do."
"If you just look at credit, no one in Dark Moon can compare to you..." Shea shook her head: "Now the secret food base has been successfully established. Under the action of that dust, the effect of soil improvement is huge, and the crop yield is gratifying The food crisis in the dark moon for thousands of years has been solved in my hands, you can be said to have contributed a lot. The income of the Princess Square you planned and operated far exceeded my imagination, and it has become one of the most important sources of cash. It will bring more benefits. Not only that, but the ores you brought back this time, together with those brought by Toagulle last time, are enough to create equipment for arming several troops. You not only rescued Tim, but also made Sai The Buddha family was even more determined, and used a conspiracy to trap and kill the leader of the bandit group, planning a surprise attack on the entire Xilang Mountain, and finally cleared the hidden dangers of the west passage for several years in one fell swoop. This time, they designed to regain the power of the magistrate... "
"Really?" Chen Rui rubbed his nose even harder. It sounds like he has done a lot of credit, but many of these are for his own purposes, and many of them are just stealing sheep...
Xi Ya said so much in one breath, and sighed: "These contributions are too great, I can't think of how to reward you..."
Is there any reward? But what Xi Ya said is correct, the magistrate is already the highest position below the lord, and half of the wealth in the treasury of the palace from the Princess Square originally belonged to Chen Rui, so there is indeed nothing to reward.
Chen Rui murmured secretly, and said with a smile: "We humans have a saying, called the master of high merit. Generally, even if you really let go of the power in your hands, it will be difficult to end well."
There are countless examples in history, such as Han Xin, Yue Fei, Li Mu, Nian Gengyao... Although there are many comprehensive reasons for the failure of these people, the key word is the undoubted key word.
Xia's expression suddenly became serious, and he stood up: "I, Xia. Lucifer swears by the blood of the royal family..."
"Wait!" Chen Rui smiled bitterly: "It's just a joke, the eldest princess doesn't have to be serious."
"If it's just a test, I believe you already know my answer." Shea frowned: "It is estimated that the people from the imperial capital will arrive soon, and we must deal with it carefully. No matter what, the royal family of Beelzebub must be wiped out." In the bud of possibility, especially the guy who wore the God Eater mask that night, he must be smashed to pieces!"
The undisguised and strong killing intent in Xi Ya's tone made Chen Rui secretly chill. The secret of the secret room should be the biggest source of murderous intent. It seems that the identity of the "Royal Beelzebub" can only continue to be concealed.
The "law" of offsetting hostility with affinity, accumulate more credit now, and when the truth is told, her resentment will also decrease.
Xia Ya looked at his flickering eyes, and suddenly her voice became a little low: "Do you really think that one day I will hurt you because of...?"
"Value determines the meaning of existence." Chen Rui scratched his head, "You, the princess, said this yourself, it seems to be before I went to Xilang Mountain."
When Xiya heard about Mount Xilang, she seemed to have touched something, and the ice and snow in her eyes gradually melted: "No, your value is not..."
This sentence did not go on, but Chen Rui clearly felt the rare softness in the purple eyes, and when he thought of the call before the wind chimes in the secret room, he felt softer in his heart, showing a determined smile: " Princess, since this is the case, then, I think I have already received the best reward."
Xi Ya's eyes trembled slightly, she stared at his smiling face, and suddenly said lightly: "I have to say, you are really good at impressing women, Your Excellency the Sheriff. Unfortunately, I am not Athena, put you away small means."
What and what, it's rare to feel a little confidant... A woman who doesn't understand style...
Chen Rui's expression froze, and he thought to himself that with the strange reasoning ability of the eldest princess, the explanation would only get darker and darker, and he left very depressed, but he didn't notice the rare narrowing of Xi Ya's purple eyes.
