moon night.
Darkmoon City, Cloak Society Headquarters Gutai House, backyard.
Miss Sasa is showing two good friends, Eve and Allianne, a new gadget given by her boyfriend Da Da, a lighting beam that can absorb moonlight and emit various shapes.
"It's really interesting! Sister Sasha."
Seeing the surprised and happy faces of Eve and Ariane, Miss Sasa felt a bright light on her face: "This is made by Data based on the inspiration of the flashlight that leader Agulie said last time, but it is better than what the leader said. The function is many times stronger, not only looks good, but also has high practical value... Hey, Eve, why are you suddenly upset, Nuo, this is for you to play with."
"It's not that my sister is unhappy, it's just that she misses you a little bit when you mentioned the leader."
"Ariane!"
"Sister, what's the matter with embarrassment, in fact, I also miss Mr. Agulie, and I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Speaking of which, leader Agulie is really attractive, mysterious and powerful, but our family is more attractive, with a short and fat body, a long nose, and a sexy green skin..."
"..."
Not far away, Da Da was talking with Skye. Both of them were top masters. They cherished each other and had become inseparable friends.
"Master Da Da, have you heard?" It was the dark elf Skye who spoke.
"Of course," Da Da nodded: "This is almost the most important news in the world of tool making for thousands of years. I believe that everyone in the devil world knows it now. Even Horford, the direct disciple of Master Nete and the master of dual-lines, lost. Gave it to that person."
There was a strange sarcasm in Skye's eyes: "Nate should not be able to sit still now."
Da Da didn't pay attention to Skye's disdain when he talked about Nate, but just sighed: "Two pieces of quasi-legendary equipment and one piece of legendary equipment. It's a pity that I couldn't witness the grand occasion of that final."
Skye nodded empathetically, and said: "I heard that the genius who created a new miracle in the ancient magic tower of the Shadow Empire disappeared mysteriously, and his whereabouts are still unknown. I have a strange premonition in my heart. This genius...may be related to one of our acquaintances It's kind of related."
"Really?" Da Da gave him a strange look, "I thought I was the only one who had this premonition?"
The two laughed almost simultaneously.
"Animals!"
In Dark Moon, the residence of the city magistrate, an unhappy voice rang out.
"Master of the three lines of master craftsman! Magic circle genius! Can this girl be more famous?" Pointing at the moon outside the window and yelling, it is obviously the wife, widow, bad-control teammate and cheap nephew Luo Meng.
However, this house is no longer what it was when it was first built. Not only are there protective plants such as guardian vines around, but also all kinds of dragon language inscriptions are covered. .
Luo Meng's indignant look made Du Long seem to see himself who was also extremely jealous of this in the past, and added a sentence gloatingly: "Not only that, this guy also has a master-level black potion, didn't you just drink the full set of the eternal system?" Potion?"
"It's too beastly!" Luo Meng didn't have the slightest awareness of being soft-mouthed, took a big gulp of wine, looked up to the sky and sighed, with a bit of a tragic temperament of a hero with empty ambitions, which almost made people cry, "Demon God! Can you open your eyes?" The almighty left eye that fascinates all women, show favor to your poor believer! Why have I been so handsome and unrestrained in the royal family, I have hardly had any luck in these years! The day before yesterday, even a beautiful woman was caught by Delia! No, I can't be hanged from a tree! I want the whole forest!"
"I forgot to tell you all the time," Pagliu said, clearly the kind of person who would add insult to injury, "It took this guy from a powerless weakling to a great devil now... It seems like it took less than a year? You are just now Being promoted to the Great Demon King, in terms of combat power, he is absolutely inferior to him. It is estimated that in less than a year, the guy will become the Demon King."
"Pfft!" Luo Meng choked out the wine from his nose, and was about to continue expressing pure jealousy indignantly, when a pleasant voice came from outside the yard: "Athena, did you hear that? What are you screaming like?"
"That's right, Delia, it seems to be Lady Luck or something, and..."
Before Athena could finish her words, Lomon floated over like a gust of wind, and graciously took the things in the hands of the two of them: "Ah, you two beauties, it's been hard for you to go to the night market. I'll help you carry your things in."
"By the way, I just heard someone say that the demon god has a charming left eye. Your Excellency the Woodcutter, did you hear that?" Delia took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face that had been completely cured, but her eyes were somewhat unfriendly.
"Dear Delia, you must have heard it wrong. Let me talk about the demon god's dreamy right eye."
"Diudiu, I know you are hiding in the corner! Tell me, what did this person say just now? To be honest, I will give you a bottle of the best fruit wine I bought at the night market just now, otherwise, you will starve for three days."
The last sentence of threat caused the amoeba to pop out immediately, and turned into the appearance of Lomon just now, imitating the movements and tone perfectly.
"...I will be caught by Delia even if I pick up a beautiful woman! No, I can't be hanged on a tree! I want the whole forest!"
Lomon: "..."
Seeing Delia walking over with a sneer, Lomon's face turned into a bitter gourd shape——Almighty Demon God, open your omnipotent eyes and save your poor believers.
Athena watched the farce of the pair of enemies with a smile, and suddenly thought of the playfulness and joy between herself and that man, and deep thoughts rose in her beautiful red eyes—are you thinking of me too? my sweetheart.
Darkmoon City, the palace back garden.
The slim figure in a long white dress stared at his own reflection in the moonlight, silent.
The scene of the conversation with old Gauss in the conference hall just now still comes to mind.
"This time his performance in the Artisan Contest shocked the entire demon world! As for the Custer family, a new successor has been confirmed, and it is the youngest Miss Celine. When I left the Shadow Empire, she He once specifically contacted me and said that he would do his best to support our plan."
As Old Gauss said, he said with emotion: "At first, my evaluation of him was already high enough, but unexpectedly it was still too low."
Xi Ya nodded slightly. Chen Rui once mentioned to her that he inherited the forging and armor-making skills of the great master, and could train and teach some craftsmen. Before the old Gauss came back, "Arthur" became famous in the shadow empire toolmaker competition , the news of becoming the first three-line tool-making genius in the demon world for thousands of years has already spread to Dark Moon.
Shea was really shocked at that time, but now after hearing the "genius of the magic circle" added by old Gauss, she seems calm.
"In fact, at the very beginning, he came into our sight as an alchemy grand master, but the wisdom and talent he showed later made us almost forget that biggest 'original intention', and it is only now that he shines with dazzling real light. "
Old Gauss sighed: "That's right, Your Royal Highness, he has joined the Artisan Alliance of the Shadow Empire at the public invitation of Emperor Catherine. I thought he would leave Dark Moon and directly Joined the Shadow Empire, but he saved me again and entrusted me to bring back those plans, it seems that his heart is still in the dark moon, at least for now."
"Indeed." In fact, Xi Ya had already asked Chen Rui face-to-face similar questions.
"His Royal Highness, with Chen Rui's current ability and reputation, it is no longer possible to keep him with Dark Moon's conditions alone. It can be said that he will have a better and safer development prospect if he goes to other places." Old Gauss He said meaningfully: "The reason why he didn't do this is because he still has our friendship and affection in his heart, but this kind of friendship obviously cannot be maintained for a long time. If the eldest princess wants to realize her greatest wish, she must get him. help, so I overstepped the bounds by making a suggestion... Please don’t take offense, the Eldest Princess.”
"Gauss, what do you want to say, just say it."
"Chen Rui is a person with outstanding intelligence and ability, and he has such a powerful inheritance. What's more rare is that he attaches great importance to friendship and will not be swayed by ordinary interests. But things are unpredictable. As long as another force also gives him more He is likely to leave if he has great friendship and conditions that are more worthy of service. To be honest, the bond between Dark Moon and him is not deep enough. Even his lover, Miss Athena, is not from the royal family of Dark Moon. I thought... a deeper relationship should be used to tie him firmly to Dark Moon."
Shia frowned slightly: "You mean..."
"Marriage." Old Gauss nodded affirmatively, "This is the best way. In fact, I can see that he is to the eldest princess..."
"Okay, Gauss, just pretend I haven't heard about this, understand?" Xia Ya suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. Although she knew that what the old Gauss said was very reasonable, she still couldn't help the anger. The voice suddenly became cold.
Old Gauss shook his head: "Her Royal Highness, as the Lord of the Dark Moon, may be able to regain the throne from Black Yao in the future. It is really not suitable for marriage, so can you consider using the little princess..."
The chill in Xi Ya's eyes was even worse, and he directly cut off the words of old Gauss: "There is no need to talk about this matter!"
Old Gauss's expression was stagnant, and finally he didn't say any more. Shea felt that her tone was a bit serious, and added: "You are tired after returning from the Shadow Empire, so Ji Ya asked her to continue to follow Alice to take care of the princess workshop. In case you find Chen Rui's secret when you return to the magistrate's house... you should go down and rest first."
Old Gauss let out a long sigh and left.
Xia looked at her lonely shadow silently. She still remembered what the human man said when he came to this back garden for the first time: the furthest distance in the world...
Closing his eyes, the man's parting voice rang in his ears again: "Even if there is no request from General George, I will do this."
Not only this, but also those hateful topics with puns, hateful smiles, hateful everything...
For some reason, I kind of miss this hateful thing, miss it, miss it, and feel a lot lighter.
A voice came from a distance: "Jiya, watch your feet, don't fall down, why did you become a different person when you came back, and you can even walk in a daze? Are you thinking of a certain man?"
"No, Your Royal Highness, I just..."
"Okay, let's go quickly... Sister! Ji Ya and I brought you delicious supper from the night market!"
Hearing Alice's voice, Xi Ya opened her eyes, and there was a faint warmth in her purple eyes. Perhaps because of the change of moonlight, the lonely shadow became two. It seemed that she was not so lonely anymore.
