The master Kemp on the side touched Da Da Da lightly, and the focused dark goblin master suddenly woke up, and then he noticed Isabella's call, and said to Shia: "I need a top-quality moonstone, if I can find it Come and give it to me, and I am willing to help you create three magical items no lower than the excellence level."
Although the ultimate moonstone is a very rare material, Master Da Da's magic accessories are considered top-level in the entire devil world, and the promised magic items are guaranteed to be at least excellent, which is absolutely worth it.
Accessories are different from weapons or armor. Due to their flexibility in size, they can better perform magic functions. Chen Rui has seen many of Christina's magic props before, and they are all quite amazing.
Xi Ya frowned and said: "According to the ancient records, hundreds of years ago, there were several moonstones in the dark moon, among which there were top-quality ones, but there has been no news about them all these years. I will stay for a period of time, and I will immediately send someone to search for relevant information."
"Up to seven days." Dada thought for a while, and after saying this, he continued to fiddle with the spar, and never paid attention to anyone.
The ultimate moonstone? Chen Rui thought of Grofin sneaking into the underground world, just to absorb the power of the moonstone to alleviate the backlash of the God-eating mask. Doug, the earth elemental man who has already sacrificed, also said that the underground of Xilang Mountain is a huge treasure house. In addition to the main vein of the mine, there are also rare mineral deposits such as moonstone, dark star iron, and blood streak silver. The location of the moonstone deposit is in the area of the earth.
If you want to obtain the three magic items made by Master Da Da, it seems that you have to go to the realm of the earth, but Isabella and his group seem to be planning to stay in the dark moon. It is difficult to get out, and counting the underground travel and mining time, seven days may not be enough.
Isabella said solemnly: "Okay, Your Royal Highness, we can start to enter the topic. The appearance of the Beelzebub royal family has made His Royal Highness attach great importance to it, and the fragments of the God-eating mask were lost in the hands of His Royal Highness." Yes, it can be said that I am to blame. As you know, I have to deal with a lot of affairs in the emperor, and I can't stay in the dark moon for too long. Let's follow Master Da Da's time, seven days. Within seven days, I hope the eldest princess Your Highness can give me a satisfactory answer to go back to the regent."
There was a cold light in Xia Ya's eyes, and he said coldly: "Mrs. Isabella, are you here to assist in the investigation? Or to accuse the crime? If it is to assist the investigation, I am willing to cooperate with you. If it is to inquire about the crime, as your financial advisor I don’t have this qualification yet.”
Isabella didn't care about the contempt in Xia Ya's questioning, shook her head and said: "Your Highness is not only a lord, but also a royal family, you should know what a complete God-eating mask means, and the surname Beelzebub is very important to Dark Moon and Fallen Angels." What does the empire mean? Not only did His Highness lose the fragments of the God-eating mask, but he was also unable to find the whereabouts of the Beelzebub royal family. Shouldn't he accept the punishment he deserved? But something happened, and His Highness Xiya is a member of the royal family. So it's just a symbolic punishment... If His Highness can't give me a satisfactory answer within seven days, then starting from the next quarter, the Red Nether Territory's food support for Dark Moon will be reduced by half."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present at the Dark Moon changed their faces and whispered. The land in the Dark Moon is barren and it is difficult to grow food. At the most prosperous time, the source of food also relied on "imports".
The Chiyou Territory is precisely aware of this point, so it uses the name of "subsidy" to firmly pinch the lifeblood of the dark moon. Now that Prince Obsidian has cut off half of the food support, then the dark moon is originally The very tense food problem will become more and more prominent, and it is very likely that there will be large-scale famine. This cruel sanction is also called "symbolic" punishment
Shea stood up slowly, with anger burning in her cold eyes, even the arrogant Sergey felt the terrifying coldness emanating from Shea, and dared not move for a while.
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, an untimely voice rang out: "The lady... Excuse me, if Her Royal Highness the Princess can give a satisfactory answer within seven days, will the food aid not be reduced?"
It was Chen Rui who stood up who spoke. When Xi Ya heard Chen Rui's voice, the chill she released suddenly stopped. Isabella's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the weak human sheriff with interest: " Your Majesty, please accept my well-intentioned suggestion. You should re-learn your etiquette. Your current diction and speech are very presumptuous for a beautiful lady. But I can answer your question, yes .”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just took office not long ago, so I don't understand anything." Chen Rui continued to scratch his head without manners, "Then according to Madam, the eldest princess has accepted the punishment now, and we will deal with Beelzebub. Don't worry about it?"
"Shut up!" The old Ford of the Saifo family stood up and said coldly: "Chen Rui, you foreign guy, you don't understand the importance of food to the dark moon at all! If there is a large-scale famine among the people, you can afford it." Are you responsible for this?"
Chen Rui didn't have a good tone towards Old Ford either: "Lord Ford is getting older and seems to be more forgetful. Didn't Joseph say that at the meeting? After he is re-elected as finance officer, he will increase food aid by 30%. Eighty percent, and the food purchased from our shadow empire is almost the same!"
"Shut up!" Xia turned her head and glared at Chen Rui, as if scolding him for leaking important news, but her eyes became firm: "Since this is the case, I will leave the matter of Beelzebub to a few of you." The commissioner of the Imperial Capital, I believe that His Highness the Regent’s vision will definitely eliminate the biggest hidden danger of the empire. As you can see, the affairs of the dark moon are very busy, and I cannot entertain you for too long. Then... seven days later, I will wait Your answer, Mrs. Isabella. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then I have the right to demand that the so-called symbolic punishment be withdrawn!"
Everyone in the dark moon was determined, and they all showed expressions of "that's how it is", only the old Ford who "had a bad relationship" with Chen Rui showed dissatisfaction. In fact, he admired the quick wit of the sheriff who had saved his son's life. Even if Joseph really puts out 30% more, the total amount of food in real calculations is less than 80%. As for the purchase of food by the Shadow Empire, it is purely fictitious.
However, the Saifo family has achieved great success in cultivating meat over the years. Old Ford knew part of Shea's food plan. Dark Moon's current food should be unprecedentedly sufficient, and he is not afraid of such sanctions from the imperial capital. , but these are "secret weapons" and cannot be revealed for the time being.
Chen Rui's reckless interruption not only calmed people's hearts, but also made the eldest princess take the initiative in turn.
Isabella's emerald-like eyes glanced at Chen Rui, who was silent behind Shia, secretly surprised, she had already effectively hit An Yue's morale, and threw a heavy burden at Shia, but she was caught by this person who didn't know anything. The magistrate who understands is not afraid of boiling water for a while, but Xia Ya seizes the opportunity to treat him in his own way, and throws the burden back.
"Then, I want to impolitely 'question' the eldest princess..." Isabella stood up, and just when everyone thought she was going to make a sharp remark, she suddenly showed a charming smile: "I have heard that Dark Moon is very hospitable. Why haven't we started preparations for the welcome dance after we've been here for so long?"
These words eased the atmosphere all of a sudden, and everyone smiled. Chen Rui secretly thought that this woman was clever, and she changed the topic with a joke, and started a new round calmly.
Shia also seemed to have forgotten the tit-for-tat confrontation just now, and discussed the matters of the dinner and dance in a polite manner.
After the dinner, it was a routine welcome dance. Athena seemed to have gained more insight in terms of strength in the past two days. She has been retreating at the lower level of the arena. The guards handed over the training to Araux, so she did not participate tonight. .
Different from the last master challenge, although Chen Rui is still a powerless human being, he is no longer a corner person that no one cares about. Several women invited him to dance, of course because of the identity of the sheriff. It's a pity that Chen Rui was really not interested in this kind of activity, so he politely declined.
The dance in the devil world has much less rules than humans, and it is very casual. Chen Rui slowly moved to an inconspicuous corner, holding a glass of red fruit wine, waiting for the early end of this boring activity. The most popular person in the ball is Isabella, who has changed into a black evening dress, exuding seductive charm in her elegant temperament. After dancing with Sergey, her butterfly-like dancing posture has attracted the attention of most people, and she has been invited to dance with her.
In contrast, Shea was the one who didn't care. In fact, Shea's beauty was not inferior to Isabella's, but everyone knew that she never accepted anyone's invitation, so no one wanted to touch the wall.
"Hmph! A coquettish woman!" Alice's dissatisfied voice sounded beside Chen Rui. It turned out that little Lolita had been paying attention to Chen Rui, and finally walked away from her sister, and finally came to Chen Rui's side as she wished, with a glass of wine she secretly took in her hand.
"Alice," Chen Rui snatched the glass from Little Lolita's hand, "You can't drink."
Alice glared at him: "Huh..."
This loli suddenly thought of something, and the expression of "staring at so-and-so biscuits" changed, her big eyes blinked brightly, and she said obediently: "Brother, I will listen to you, can you dance with me?" ?”
Chen Rui shook his head quickly: "I've never danced, I really can't dance."
Not counting in his previous life, he really didn't dance after rebirth, and this kind of court dance is very complicated, he really doesn't know how to do it.
"Never skipped?" Little Lolita's eyes lit up, she leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Then brother's first time, give it to Alice!"
"Pfft..." Chen Rui spit out all the wine in one gulp, the wording is too ambiguous!
Alice screamed, looking at the red wine splashed on the skirt, she was about to cry with grievance: "This is my favorite evening dress!"
"I'm sorry..." Chen Rui hurriedly put down his wine glass, and sure enough, he saw a large red spot on Alice's yellow dress, which couldn't be wiped off.
Ten minutes later, the little Lolita, who was pretending to be crying, won the victory, and Chen Rui, who was wronged and succumbed, bit the bullet and appeared on the dance floor.
The court dance in the Demon Realm is a bit similar to the ballroom dance of European courts in the 15th century. There is no hugging movement, but it is very cumbersome and has many rules. Chen Rui exchanged positions with Alice and felt in a hurry. Sabella has already danced her second dance with Sergey.
Sergey is obviously proficient in this way, skillfully changing movements and dance steps. His graceful posture and handsome appearance have attracted the attention of many demon women around him. Of course, the most attractive is the glamorous Isabella. Standing together, the two of them can be described as talented and beautiful, and they are definitely the focus of the whole ball.
In contrast, Chen Rui and Alice on the side became the contrast. Originally, Alice danced well by herself, but because she had to cooperate and guide Chen Rui, she seemed awkward, but Little Lolita was not angry and taught him patiently.
When Chen Rui changed positions, he accidentally bumped into the person behind him, and quickly apologized, but couldn't keep up with the actions behind him. Sergey saw it, and deliberately pulled Isabella closer, and said with a contemptuous smile: "You bumpkin, go away, the dance floor is not a place for scum like you to come."
Before Chen Rui opened his mouth, Alice said angrily: "Damn it! Leave it alone!"
"Dark Moon's royal princess is nothing more than that, she can't even dance well," Sergey looked at Alice with disdain, and suddenly added maliciously: "It must be because of lack of discipline since childhood."
Alice's father, Prince Green, passed away very early. This touched the wound of little Lolita, her eyes turned red immediately, and she squeezed the hand she held with Chen Rui.
Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Sergey lightly, keeping her expression on. Seeing Little Lolita's sad look, Chen Rui was secretly angry at Sergey's despicableness, and immediately retorted: "No wonder the Russ family has always been inferior to the Wells family, they only bully girls."
"What did you say!" Sergey's father, Doron. Ruth's ranking has always been lower than Athena's father, General George, and he is known as the second general. Sergei is most jealous of others saying this, and he is furious, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Now you still want to attack me, a powerless human being?" Chen Rui showed no fear, "Don't forget, this is a dance floor, please leave if you don't want to dance."
"A country bumpkin like you deserves to say the word 'dance'?" Sergey showed a sinister look, thought for a while, stopped dancing, channeled his strength, and said loudly: "Everyone, please pause!"
Everyone stopped dancing immediately, and the sound of the performance also stopped.
"The magistrate said just now that he would let me see the real pas de deux, and I am looking forward to it," Sergey pointed to Chen Rui and said, "Let us enjoy it together now, the magistrate and the little princess Dark Moon Your Majesty's beautiful dance."
Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone saw Chen Rui's level before. Sergey must have done this on purpose. Isabella still kept smiling, neither stopping nor encouraging. Sergey's methods were despicable. It's not bad to use this to humiliate Dark Moon.
