The result of the emergency meeting surprised all the residents of Dark Moon. Tim, the man who had the most hope of becoming a sheriff, lost to the human mining officer Chen Rui who was "rescued" by him!
According to well-informed sources, the key to Chen Rui's success this time is that he has the support of financial officer Joseph. The reason is that during the last quarterly meeting, Joseph and Chen Rui made a betting document. When he came back alive, he recommended him as the magistrate. At that time, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Xi Ya personally testified and could not go back on his word. That's why Chen Rui was promoted to the magistrate's position dramatically.
For a time, voices of contempt, dissatisfaction, and jealousy were heard from all sides, but nothing could change the reality that human beings became sheriffs. But almost no one pays attention to the former sheriff Allen who has stepped down. In any case, a loser is a loser.
The most innocent one was Tim from the Saifo family. The sheriff who got it flew away, so he had to return to the bitter cold place of Xilang Mountain to serve as a mining officer again, but he was given the title of Captain of the West Road Defense. , being able to command a certain amount of troops is also considered a consolation prize.
No one could have imagined that Tim, the most innocent mining officer, was half-kneeling in front of the sheriff at this time, and he was completely convinced.
Tim looked at the devil fruit in his hand and was extremely excited. In addition to the life-saving life-extending potion, the master actually gave such a precious item. In fact, apart from the little scumbag Mosley, devil fruit has become the "standard welfare" of Chen Rui's servants. If this news spreads, countless demons will squeeze their heads in to recognize their masters.
With the power of the heart of the earth element, the production of devil fruit will be doubled. As for whether the grade can be further improved, it depends on whether it supports this "upgrade".
"Get up." Chen Rui patted Tim on the shoulder, "How did you explain Liao Sha's matter to the family?"
Tim nodded: "It was much smoother than expected. When my father heard that Liao Sha had a child, and she was a mutant devil, he immediately confirmed the location of her main room without saying a word, and proposed to immediately It was hard for me to persuade you to bring the child back."
Chen Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Old Ford was so "enlightened" that he actually gave that "heterogeneous" Medusa a seat in the main room. In fact, Chen Rui still underestimated the importance that the demons attached to inheritance. Sha gave birth to Medusa, so it is not bad to be able to barely get the recognition of a concubine.
"So... you still have a lot of side rooms?" Chen Rui said with a smile, and seeing Tim's wry smile, he said, "Your father didn't doubt me, did he?"
Tim shook his head and said, "Master, don't worry. Father only knows that Master saved me and Liao Sha, and he is very grateful to Master. I don't know anything about the rest. Even the materials used by Master to make the black potion are well covered up by me. .”
Chen Rui nodded approvingly: "This time you go to Xilang Mountain, you will bring a lot of people from the family. The underground world must continue to be kept secret. You can claim that the main mine has been closed and let the miners continue to mine open-pit ore. Don’t worry about paying the ore, I’ve already made an agreement with the eldest princess. Also, all the ore in the abandoned mine room has been restored to normal ore, and I buried some of it in the green leafy forest. You can transfer this batch of ore secretly Go to a safe place. In addition to restoring the original public communication station, you also need to secretly build our own communication station in Xilang Mountain to facilitate our communication. As for the defense in the west, I don’t need to say more. Be on guard against the Scarlet Nether Territory and the Shadow Empire at any time, and if necessary, use the power of the Medusa tribe or ask the earth elementals for help."
"Obey, Master." Tim is completely convinced of Chen Rui's wisdom and magical power. This time he can go to Xilang Mountain to show off his skills, and at the same time, he can take good care of Liao Sha's mother and child, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
After a while, Tim walked out from the lower level of the arena, saw Athena in the hall, gave a deep salute, nodded to Araux and the others, put on his cloak, and left under the cover of nightfall arena.
Chen Rui also came out and asked Royce, "Has Joseph left Dark Moon?"
Royce nodded: "After attending the meeting, I hurried to Chiyou. It seems that because of the defeat in the west of the dark moon, Carnita is attacking him."
"Poor financial officer, not only has to run back and forth, but also has to deal with infighting with his younger brother, even the time to calm down and practice is precious, but I saw him today and found that his strength has increased a lot, and he may break through To the high level of the Demon King." Chen Rui looked at the calm appearance of Araux, Royce and others, and frowned: "Aren't you worried at all?"
Royce showed a strange look: "It's not that I want to flatter the master, it's just that I am worried about Joseph. It is estimated that when he reaches the high level of the devil, the master will at least be the big devil. In a sense Speaking of which, the master is..."
Royce shrugged his shoulders and did not continue. Araux, who was drinking on the sofa here, suddenly answered tacitly: "Monster."
The people around nodded in unison, seeing that even Athena was following suit, Chen Rui was even more speechless.
Soon, two shadows with fluttering wings rose in the night sky and flew quickly out of the city.
After arriving at Lanbo Lake, Chen Rui found Pagliu.
Pagliu looked at Athena, who came with him, and grinned: "Yes, I brought my family this time."
As soon as these words came out, Athena, who was still jealous of Dulong's cheating and poisoning, blushed half of her face, and most of the resentment in her heart dissipated immediately.
Du Long added another sentence: "If Chen Rui dares to bully you, just tell me, and I will beat him up for you. I will teach you how to restrain your breath and control your combat power later."
Athena's favorability towards Duron soared, from "average" to "friendly".
Chen Rui gave Dulong a middle finger contemptuously: Don't you just want to find a reason to bully others? I can only coax the silly girl Athena.
Pagliu took the wine thrown by Chen Rui, and asked, "The young couple are here today, what's the matter?"
Chen Rui pulled the cautious Athena to sit down: "I am now the Sheriff of Dark Moon City, you'd better be honest, otherwise I don't mind being named a Dragon Slayer Warrior."
Pagliu gave him a disdainful glance: "Only you, unless you commit suicide, you won't even be able to hurt a single scale of my lord."
Athena was a little surprised at the casualness of the words between the two at first, especially Pagliu, who did not have the arrogance of the legendary dragon at all, but was similar to some kind of "dead duck" "mutated creature" that Chen Rui said.
Gradually, Athena, who has a generous personality, also got used to this atmosphere, interjecting a sentence from time to time, appearing very harmonious.
"By the way, how is your cultivation?"
"The first step has been completed. Although I don't have much time left, I have full confidence because I have Athena's support." Chen Rui glanced at Athena and gave her a reassuring smile .
"A guy who values sex and despises friends!" Du Long said dissatisfiedly, "After the seal is released, I will bring a dozen female dragons to fly dozens of times over your house! I envy you!"
"A dozen 'heads'? Still 'envious of death'? Bah! I won't be envious even if I die!" Chen Rui glanced at Dulong contemptuously, flaunting the intimacy between Yang and Athena's interlocking fingers, " What's more, you can't even find a female lizard now."
Athena shyly withdrew her hand and gave him a blank look.
Chen Rui made a few jokes and said: "By the way, I plan to go to Youye Wetland in a while. Now that I am a Demon King, Youye Wetland also has the help of Wyvern. locked."
Pagliu frowned: "Let's wait until you have passed the test of cultivating your mind. Anyway, I have slept for thousands of years, so I don't have to worry about this moment."
"No need, now my mind training... It's not enough to rely on meditation alone. It needs to be realized slowly in life, and there is no rush. Besides, in less than a month, your dragon language inscription will appear intermittently. At that time, two friends will go to find the treasure. It will be troublesome if you touch the self-destruct inscription. I have already made an appointment with those two friends to go together. At that time, I will adapt to the situation and just take one thing that friend needs Returning it to her will not expose your treasure. But speaking of it, you stole a lot of things back then, except for that friend, the Eye of Sauron seems to be the secret treasure of the tauren?"
Pagliu didn't feel ashamed at all, on the contrary, he seemed very proud: "That's natural, don't underestimate the ability of the Dragon Clan to make money, after I unlock all the seals, I can take you to plunder..."
This guy, is this promising? Chen Rui shook his head helplessly.
"If you use the Eye of Sauron to lift your seal, this secret treasure should not be damaged, right?"
"No, I just use the spiritual power of the Eye of Sauron to vibrate the lock of light and darkness." The poisonous dragon showed an indifferent expression, "If you want, I can give it to you, but I have to exchange it with another treasure!"
"Stingy guy! By the way, do you have any requiem fruit in your treasure?"
"Do you think I'm a gardener? What's more, that thing is very rare, the growing conditions are harsh, and I don't know where to find it..."
At this time, Athena interjected: "Chen Rui, the two friends you are talking about going to Youye Wetland are Delia and Luo Meng! I haven't seen Delia for a long time, this time Youye Wetland , you must take me with you!"
"No, there are dangerous dragon language inscriptions everywhere, and even Pagliu doesn't remember how many traps he set up." Chen Rui shook his head resolutely: "I am enough alone, you stay in the dark." Moon City."
Thinking of the scene of obtaining the devil fruit in the rainy jungle, Athena suddenly became depressed: "You are afraid that I will drag you down."
"What are you talking about? You are my woman, so there is no burden." Chen Rui held Athena's hand, "It's just that Delia once told me that if you go to Youye Wetland, she will I will really break off friendship with you. Besides, you have one more important thing to help me, and no one else can do it except you. "
Athena blushed and tried to free her hand, but was held tightly by Chen Rui. Dulong didn't have the consciousness of a light bulb at all, and looked at the intimate two with a look of interest.
It was not easy for Athena to calm down, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Rui shrugged and kissed the back of her hand: "As the future wife of the sheriff, you have the right and obligation to perform the duties of the sheriff."
Athena felt sweet when she heard the word "madam", but she was even more ashamed of his ostentatious behavior in front of the poisonous dragon, and almost fell over her shoulder.
But there was a lightbulb dragon beside him who added inappropriately: "Go on, just pretend that I don't exist."
