Crystal dragons are a special kind of dragon, completely immune to magic, but relatively weaker in terms of strength.
The crystal dragon Jacob is the mortal enemy of the fairy dragon Lola. The fairy dragon is good at all kinds of magic, including the dragon language magic that Pagliu fears, but the crystal dragon is just her nemesis.
Two thousand years ago, in order to fight for the mysterious silver box, Lola formed a deep hatred with the crystal dragon Jacob and the blue dragon Ranieri. Later, Lola united with the poisonous dragon Pagliu, who was also the enemy of Jacob and Ranieri. In the end, Ranieri, the blue dragon, died, and Jacob was seriously injured. He was lucky enough to escape from Pagliu's hands.
However, under the temptation of the silver box, a certain dead duck dragon's integrity value became negative. Regardless of the joint research agreement, it sneaked up on Lola and snatched the silver box. However, this guy didn't end well either. In the end, a mysterious strongman came to his door, sealed his power with ancient runes, and threw it in Lanbo Lake for two thousand years.
This is called, come out to play, sooner or later you have to pay back.
Chen Rui never imagined that what he had to face now was the enemy of Pagliu's peak devil emperor, the crystal dragon Jacob!
Crystal Valley... Crystal Dragon? No wonder Manu once said that Jacob is the master of this crystal valley. Chen Rui's mind has started to spin at a high speed. Both of them are strong at the devil emperor level. Excessive mood swings will be noticed, so they must find a way.
Seeing Jacob's movements, Manu frowned: "Didn't I tell you that an important guest is coming? Why is it still like this?"
"The guest you're talking about is this high-ranking demon?" Jacob didn't raise his head, but concentrated on kneading the maid's plump hemispheres, with extreme disdain in his voice.
Manu is proficient in magic, but this crystal dragon is not only stronger than him, but also completely immune to magic, so it is reasonable not to buy it. Manu was unhappy, but his face didn't show it. He was about to introduce Chen Rui's status as a three-line proficient master, when he suddenly heard the "master" say: "This manor, the layout of this room is really terrible!"
Jacob, who was playing with the maid, suddenly had a cold light in his eyes, and the maid screamed, and a cluster of blood burst out of her chest. Jacob sat up slowly, waved his hand, and the maid covered her chest in severe pain. back down.
Feeling Jacob's murderous intent, Manu yelled in his heart, he had previously told the master to pay attention to his words, but now he hit Jacob's most taboo point when he opened his mouth.
"This chair is actually only made of blood crystals! Why not use golden crystals? I thought the facilities inside should be more imposing than the outside, but it is much worse than expected! Also, why not inlaid with sparkling gems on it?"
"This lamp is big enough, but those flame stones must be polished more finely, otherwise the brightness will not be enough! Also, it is better to have more gemstones on the wall. These are too small and not impressive enough. We need to inlay some more Make it bigger, and in a different color! This way, the style of the room will be much higher!"
Jacob's eyes lit up, and the murderous aura disappeared instantly. He asked the stunned Manu, "This high-ranking demon... what is the origin of this guest? He has good eyesight!"
"This is the master of the three lines who is most likely to become the master of the device maker in the demon world for thousands of years, and he is also a genius of the magic circle..."
This is the first time that Manu saw someone criticize the furnishings here and was praised by Jacob, but the performance of the master is really surprising...
"No wonder!" Jacob glanced at Manu: "I thought you taught him to say those words, but now it seems that you are far from reaching this level of appreciation!"
Your sister's level of appreciation! Jacob's words made Manu completely speechless, secretly slandering the taste of these two monsters.
Chen Rui tried his best to recall the image of the nouveau riche in his heart, and commented on all the furnishings of the room. Although Jacob disagreed with some of his opinions, some of them went to his heart. After the arrangement, Chen Rui's topic turned to women again. Just like a certain dead duck dragon, the crystal dragon also has the dragon's common weird hobby for women, as can be seen from the maids outside.
What Chen Rui proposed, such as "beautiful and tough skin, clean and sharp teeth, tall and plump body", are so heavy that even Manu can't bear it, but Jacob's eyes shine .
After some discussions, Crystal Dragon looked at Chen Rui differently. In fact, there is not only one master in Crystal Valley, but he is the first genius of the three lines like "Arthur" who has been unique for thousands of years. More importantly, This master's taste is so "elegant", he is simply the confidant of the dragon clan!
Manu was originally worried that Chen Rui would not get along well with this eccentric dragon here, and would even provoke Jacob to misfortune, but now it seems that there should be no worries in this regard.
A maid walked in, bowed and said, "Master, it's time to go to the magic circle."
"Didn't you see that I was chatting enthusiastically with the guests? Next time you dare to do this, I will break your limbs!" Jacob glanced at the maid, waved his hand in the air, and said "snap", this innocent poor man The maid was slapped a few meters away and spit out several bloody teeth.
As if nothing happened, Jacob talked and laughed freely: "I have to go to a special magic circle to practice and restore my strength every few days. Today I can only talk about this with the master, but since the master came to Crystal Valley, I will definitely not leave in a short time. Don't worry, I will provide you with the best laboratory and the most complete materials."
"Thank you, Mr. Jacob." Chen Rui nodded, but he was secretly chilling in his heart. This crystal dragon obviously had to go to the magic circle, but he angered the maid for no reason, and his methods were cruel, just like what Manu said was moody. His previous bet was in the right place.
"That's right! The Crystal Dragon was seriously injured by Pagliu two thousand years ago. Is the recovery...is it related to the original injury?"
"Master Jacob," Chen Rui asked tentatively, "I'm very curious about knowledge about magic circles. I wonder if I can take a look?"
Jacob still had a smile on his face just now, but when he heard this, his face sank in an instant, murderous intent flashed across his eyes, the magic circle was one of his forbidden areas, even if he was an "ally", he would not allow it Not allowed to enter, this guy even proposed to take a look!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Manu hurriedly said: "Jacob, Master Arthur is not only a once-in-a-million-year three-line master, but also a peerless genius in the magic circle. One of the reasons why he joined us is that I promised to provide Let him observe the unknown magic circle."
In fact, what Chen Rui wanted to "observe" was the magic circle on the Phantom Shield. Manu said this because he was afraid that Jacob would suddenly attack him. After all, Chen Rui was now an important figure under his command.
"It's not that I claim to be a genius. Not long ago, I deciphered two high-level magic circles in the ancient magic tower in a row." It seems that the identity of "magic circle genius" has unexpected effects, Chen Rui Immediately, he showed pride, "I also have a lot of experience in improving the magic circle. When I came, the magic circle in the swamp, in my opinion, had a lot of room for improvement."
Jacob frowned, because the dragon language inscription outside was laid down by himself, and he was quite proud. Its power was equivalent to that of a demon emperor, and it was unpredictable. It was unexpected that Chen Rui would say such big words.
Seeing his disbelief, Chen Rui made gestures in the air. Of course, he could not reveal the fact that he was proficient in the inscriptions in Dragon Language, but deliberately called them magic arrays, and also missed many unique features of the inscriptions. The simplest feature of the inscription was revealed: "The magic circle outside is indeed extremely profound. Although there are many things I don't understand very well, they remain the same. I can be sure that if there is a slight change at this point, the magic circle's The effect is much better."
Although Jacob's attainments in dragon language inscriptions are not as good as Pagliu's, he is still considered a leader in the dragon clan. It is natural to see the gold content of this small improvement. Although it is not a major improvement, it is definitely beyond the comprehension of laymen of. Crystal Dragon's eyes on Chen Rui suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, an ordinary demon can see through some of the mysteries in the dragon language inscription just after learning about it. He really is a super genius!
If the crystal dragon knew that the master's "magic circle" attainment came from his deadly enemy, the poisonous dragon, and that he was deliberately fooling him, he would definitely vomit blood... spit crystals.
"Every change is the same, this sentence is wonderful!" Capable people are always valued by others. Although Jacob is moody, he can't help but praise him sincerely at this time: "I have lived for nearly ten thousand years. This is the first time I see a genius like the master, so please come with me, master, if you can understand my magic circle and make improvements, I will be very grateful."
"Live for nearly ten thousand years?" Chen Rui was shocked, showing an expression of disbelief.
Seeing this expression, Jacob felt complacent and said with a smile: "To tell the truth, Master, I am a noble Dragon Clan, let alone nearly ten thousand years, even tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years is not surprising."
Chen Rui praised a few words cooperatively, Jacob felt relieved, and suddenly said to Manu: "You don't need to come, I will go with the master."
Manu knew that the magic circle was a taboo for the Crystal Dragon, but Master Arthur's progress in integrating into the Crystal Valley was much faster than he imagined, and with the shackles of his mind, he was not afraid that he would abandon himself and switch to the Crystal Dragon. Chen Rui gave a badge and said with a smile: "Okay, master, I'm in Nightmare Valley, with this badge, you can travel unimpeded all the way."
"Thank you Master Manu, please tell Fatilu that she will prepare some fine wine and wait for me."
Chen Rui's words vaguely expressed his position, and Manu nodded in satisfaction, while Jacob has already urged him impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, I will send someone to send the master back later, but there is still no one." Dare to stop, master, let's go quickly."
Chen Rui followed Jacob out of the room and came to a place behind the manor. There were actually many dragon language inscriptions along the way, and finally came to a pool.
This pool gave Chen Rui a familiar feeling, a bit like a fountain of vitality, and a bit like a fountain of life, full of a strange power.
The crystal dragon did not enter the pool, but sat in a sunken stone pit beside it. The pit was surrounded by various inscriptions in dragon language and extremely complicated magic circles. The main body was six stone slabs, each of which was There is a strange mark, which seems to be a strange rune, placed at the end of the six-pointed star.
These marks seemed a little familiar, and Chen Rui remembered that every time he tried to go to the fifth floor of the ancient magic tower, some strange runes and marks would appear, making it impossible for people to move forward.
Even in-depth analysis can't decipher those strange imprints and runes. Judging from the in-depth analysis data, several imprints around the stone pit have something in common with those runes.
"Master, you can look at it slowly from this distance, but don't touch it." Jacob sat behind the stone pit and activated the dragon language inscription. Chen Rui could tell that Jacob used the Dragon Clan's inscription. The inscription triggered by the power of blood means that other people cannot use this stone pit.
After the inscription was activated, those complicated magic arrays were activated one by one. Under the action of the magic array, the hexagram array shone with strange light, and the imprints at the six ends lit up one after another, floating in the air, exuding mysterious power, Slowly changing shape, as if alive.
The water in the pool began to pour into the stone pit, and under the action of the magic circle, it turned into clusters of bright mist, wrapping Jacob's body like a steam bath. The mist didn't float around, but was "imprisoned" within the scope of the stone pit.
"Lord Jacob, what did I see? These magic circles... are truly a miracle! It seems that I will have too many questions to ask my lord... No! I am impatient to ask for advice now, I don't know Is it convenient for adults to talk now?"
To be complimented by a magic circle genius like this, Jacob felt relieved, nodded and said: "If you have any questions, just ask!"
"Forgive me, this spring water and magic circle seem to have a therapeutic effect, but even I, there are many things I can't understand about these mysterious and profound magic circles. Since my lord is a noble dragon, there must be legends in them The most profound knowledge of the Dragon Clan—the dragon language inscription?"
"Master's eyesight is quite good!" Jacob nodded approvingly, and said seemingly casually: "The master's methods are also quite remarkable. Not only did he gain my favor when we met for the first time, but he also discovered a lot about me. My secret. I have a small request now, I wonder if the master is willing to be my servant?"
This small "request" voice revealed a faint sense of arrogance, and it was obvious that it was a threat.
Chen Rui was secretly vigilant. Sure enough, none of these BOSS-level enemies were fuel-efficient lamps, but now there is a good answer to this question, which is the shackles of the mind.
People who are under the shackles of the mind can no longer draw up or accept the contract. This is the case when old Gauss failed to use the contract with Ji Ya before.
"As a craftsman, my own combat strength is only at the level of a demon king. To develop and improve crafting skills, I must rely on the strong. Accepting the shackles of the soul is also a helpless move. Otherwise, how could I come to this crystal valley today?"
Jacob naturally knew the power of the shackles of the mind, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "Manu will use these insidious tricks, and that Azgallo is not much better than him! Master, if I have a way to force Manu to To lift the shackles of the soul, are you willing to belong to me?"
Chen Rui's heart moved, Jacob's words revealed a message, Manu, Azgalo and Jacob, these three devil emperors did not seem to be monolithic.
