The next day, the inner city of the Shadow Empire, the royal palace.
Chen Rui wore a robe of a master craftsman with a gold-rimmed double-moon badge pinned to his chest. He came to the palace, and handed the pass token given to the guards at the gate by Catherine the Great last time.
The guards showed considerable respect to the first three-line toolmaker master in the demon world for thousands of years. After receiving the pass of the token, a veiled maid led Chen Rui into the palace.
The royal palace, which symbolizes the highest authority of the Shadow Empire, is not as luxurious as imagined. The overall feeling is simple and grand, and exquisite art can be seen in the subtleties.
The scale of the palace is quite large, and there are quite complicated mazes, which are far from comparable to the small palace of Dark Moon. The maid led Chen Rui to turn left and right for nearly an hour, and finally came to a secluded courtyard.
"Master, please come in, your lady will arrive later." The maid bowed and retreated.
Chen Rui collected himself and walked into the yard.
This is a quiet courtyard. There are many plants and trees, which look green. Perhaps affected by the power of Nirvana, these plants are much more lush than normal. Chen Rui strokes the trees gently, thinking of the power of Nirvana on his body Fire, thinking of the fiery blood fused into the body at that time, thinking of another fusion in the tent that time...
On the road in Youye Wetland, the talent and temperament of the "noble girl" had begun to attract him faintly. Later, an unexpected incident in Feilong's lair made the relationship between the two skip the process and reach the end. Chen Rui admits that he is a superficial man, and Christina's perfect appearance and body can't make him tempted. In order to protect the tempted woman, who was also his first woman, Chen Rui met Bai Luo, who was at the Demon Emperor level. Thinking about it now, it was really impulsive. (Sex makes you faint?)
When she was dying, Christina, who was supposed to kill him, accidentally gave him her precious blood of Nirvana. Maybe it was just an impulse, but it made the red piccolo really stay in Chen Rui's life. heart.
Whenever the fire of Nirvana ignited in his body, he couldn't help but think of her, the woman who claimed that she owed nothing to each other and would kill him next time, and wanted to see her again.
Now when this wish is about to come true, there is an indescribable feeling in my heart, anticipation, uneasiness, apprehension... can't be described with accurate words.
Race: Royal Desire (mutation). Comprehensive strength assessment: A.
Physique A, strength A, spirit A, agility A.
The data that suddenly appeared in the Analytical Eye made Chen Rui's hand tremble, and he turned his head slowly.
There is already one more person in the yard.
Still dressed in a classic-style robe, with perfect body proportions, long black hair coiled up, and a hazy veil covering his face, exuding a noble and mysterious temperament.
It really was her.
Chen Rui felt his heart beating faster, suppressed his agitated mind, turned around, and bowed slightly: "Is it Miss Christina? I'm Arthur, and a friend entrusted me to bring you something. "
Christina didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, her peaceful gaze behind the veil seemed to see through his disguise.
Chen Rui was inexplicably nervous, and immediately took out a few bottles of medicine from the storage ring, and put them on the stone table beside him.
"These four bottles are eternity potions. You must take them all, and they will have additional special effects. This bottle is a resurrection potion, and this bottle is a life extension potion."
These six bottles of black medicine representing the highest achievement in pharmacy are enough to shock the entire demon world. Christina just glanced lightly, then turned her eyes back to Chen Rui.
After a long time, I finally opened my mouth, still in the quietness of the ancient well in my memory: "Is there eternity in the world?"
Chen Rui was taken aback by this question, and as she was trying to figure out the intention of her question, Christina's voice sounded again: "Answer me seriously."
Chen Rui thought for a while and replied: "As far as I know, even the bright stars or the double moons in the devil world will be annihilated one day. Whether it is a thousand years or ten thousand years of life, it is actually just a moment. Precisely because there is no eternity, you should cherish the moment even more."
"Instant youth," Christina nodded slightly, alluding to the artistic conception of his legendary bracelet, "The youth of life is so short, with the passage of time, no matter how immortal an existence is, it will decay into ashes, and no matter how profound a memory Same thing, do you understand?"
Chen Rui frowned and said: "Your lady's words are very reasonable, but... I still don't quite understand."
"You should understand." Christina looked directly at him deeply, "Some things you think are obsessed with obsession, but one day, they will be forgotten in the process of obsession. Even if you don't understand now, but in the future you will definitely will understand."
Chen Rui sighed: "Some things... time cannot be taken away. Even if life is annihilated, the mark still exists."
"Persistence in the wrong place...it's just stupidity. It seems that your stupidity is hopeless." Christina shook her head: "So you came here today, do you already have the consciousness of death?"
"My disguise really failed." Chen Rui didn't know that his identity had been discovered by Christina, and smiled wryly, "It seems that no matter what image I use, I can't get rid of the adjective stupid."
As soon as the words fell, a faint murderous aura surrounded him. Although the aura was very weak, the terrifying power contained in it made him almost unable to move.
Christina's voice cooled down: "Stupidity is the biggest reason for ruining your life. For the sake of the black potion, I will give you time to confess your last words."
Chen Rui didn't panic, this was due to the test of the eldest princess' killing intent in Dark Moon City. Although Christina's murderous intent is terrifying, Chen Rui, who has experienced many battles, keenly feels that the murderous intent is not particularly strong, otherwise, when he first recognizes him, he will be hit by a thunderbolt, and it is impossible to talk nonsense with him for a long time .
Chen Rui won't be so narcissistic that he thinks that the last time he had sex with Christina won her over, or that he fell in love with him with all his heart.
This noble lady must have many concerns about her inability to kill: for example, she has joined the Shadow Empire Artisan Alliance as a three-line master craftsman; for example, the highest level of black potion; and for example, Master "Arthur" was approved by the Queen in public to enter For the palace, if there is any accident, whether it is from the public or the queen, it is difficult to explain, etc., there may be a little bit of other reasons that he is looking forward to.
Although the murderous aura is loud thunder and little rain, but if you are unlucky, you may be hit by lightning. I heard that Li Yuanba's baby just complained to the sky, but was struck by lightning after winning the lottery. Although this story is purely fictitious, one must not be careless. I'm afraid it will really become a last word.
"I thought that I was enough to make the devil world tremble, so I came to the Shadow Empire and wanted to see you. Unfortunately, it is still not enough."
Chen Rui's seemingly unreasonable words caused Christina's murderous aura to fluctuate slightly, because in the Wetland of the Night, he once said that he would come to the Shadow Empire with the power to shake the entire demon world to take her away.
At the time, she thought these words were nothing more than flattery to pretend to be good at a cheap price, but now... this man has indeed shaken the devil world, not counting the rare three-line master craftsman, as well as the lost master-level black magician. Medicine, and it is the highest level!
He deliberately made a show of being in the weapon maker competition this time, even when everyone made a request to the queen, just to see her
Also, "hand over" six bottles of precious black medicine to her
Sure enough, it was still that stupid guy.
"Although I don't know where your black potion came from," these were not enough to affect Christina's will, and her calm eyes remained unchanged: "But... even if you become a real master, it is still not enough to change something, unless …”
"Unless there is strength? In your eyes... only strength?" Chen Rui couldn't help asking, which was a question from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that I only have power in my eyes, but I must have power in my eyes!" Christina's tone was extremely firm: "Have you ever seen countless homes destroyed by war? A prosperous and beautiful home is only a moment In the meantime, thousands of miles of scorched earth, people displaced and homeless! Have you heard countless civilians crying in the killing? The death scythe of war, ignoring the crying and pleading of blood, ruthlessly harvested a large area of innocent people life! I have personally experienced this scene of blood and crying, as if it was just yesterday! Now the shadow empire is becoming more and more prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If there is no strength, how can this hard-won peace and tranquility be maintained?"
The more Christina said, the more imposing she became. In the eyes of analysis, the values began to change. The overall strength: A... A+... can't be judged.
Sure enough, it is the Devil Emperor class!
"If your attachment is to protect one or a few women, then my attachment is to protect thousands of people with all kinds of attachments and dreams, guarding their dreams and attachments. This is my greatest attachment, Everything else is nothing compared to this. You, understand?"
Chen Rui stared at Christina, as if it was the first time he looked at this woman so seriously. In fact, Christina and Xia were very similar. The difference was that Christina's persistence was stronger, her belief was firmer, and she was unshakable.
Strength, born for responsibility.
It's not a pure responsibility, but a real persistence. In this regard, Shia has no comparison.
For this obsession, she must have sacrificed a lot and given up a lot.
A sudden strange emotion has replaced the originally planned lines at some point, Chen Rui suddenly smiled, ignoring the murderous look: "Understood, so you are also a stupid woman."
If it was Shia, she would definitely scold him for being rude, but Christina just glanced at him lightly, without denying it: "It's good to understand, but my stupidity is different from yours."
"It's essentially the same." Chen Rui shrugged: "I thought this trip was a bit impulsive, but now it seems that it's worth it."
Christina originally said so much, but told him that it was impossible for the two of them, and she frowned when she heard this: "You obsessed guy, do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"I haven't done enough, far from enough. So I can't die... I have to beg for mercy," Chen Rui smiled confidently, showing no trace of fear or begging for mercy, "There is an important piece of information that should make my last words Save it for the next time."
Kristina ignored his language tricks and asked, "What information?"
"Let's dissipate the murderous spirit first, please? It's too uncomfortable to talk like this."
"Say it like that!"
This is suspected of intentionally tricking people, and it must be "revenge for personal gain", but it is somewhat feminine.
