The brilliance of the double moon quietly changed to purple, and the sheriff's house, which still looked gloomy and quiet on the outside, was full of noises unknown to outsiders, making it extremely lively.
"My captain, my uncle, you are so shameless! We huddled here and waited hard for your corpse, but you enjoyed the best wine and beautiful women in that good place!" Luo Meng was shameless while drinking the wine Chen Rui brought from Crystal Valley. While stuffing the fine wine that came into the interspatial ring, he complained non-stop with righteous indignation.
"You actually met Jacob?" Pagliu showed a dignified expression, and then immediately showed his true nature, "Did you get his treasure here? As a partner who shares life, I have the right to ask to share your Obtained loot! Do not try to conceal or prevaricate, I am well aware of your cunning and greed!"
Chen Rui's story was only halfway through, and he was interrupted several times by these two guys, quite speechless.
What was even more speechless was Diu Diu, who was not listening at all, but turned into Chen Rui, holding an apple in each hand, one dangling in front of the little black horse, and the other stuffing it into his mouth. , yelling indistinctly: "Guoguo... Guoguo..."
Ever since seeing Chen Rui teasing the little black horse with fruits, Diudiu has become interested in this newcomer. For some reason, the amoeba can understand the voice of the little black horse, but it is a pity that they don't sell it at all. , when you get annoyed, just give this fake a fear spell.
Here Pagliu's expression has sublimated to a look of hatred and no ring: "As a noble dragon with rich experience in financial management, I, Mr. Pagliu, have not gone out to plunder for a long time... the one who collected wasted property I went out on purpose a few times a few days ago, but this ghost place is really a backcountry, there is not even a decent treasure, let alone a magic weapon! A giant dragon can't sleep in the pile of treasures, that kind of emptiness It is simply a great shame!"
Feeling empty? A black line was drawn on Chen Rui's face: Emotional Pagliu even went out to step on the plate to find the way, do you know what it means that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest? Fortunately, Darkmoon City is a poor place, and there really aren't many treasures that this dead duck dragon can fancy.
Chen Rui directly threw out a big golden crystal bed that was blown away when the crystal dragon was sleeping last time, and slammed it hard at this dragon clan that smelled of copper. Pagliu caught it, carefully inspected it for a while with the eyes of an expert in treasure appraisal, and finally lay down on it in front of everyone with a happy smile, showing a satisfied expression, throwing the so-called dignity of the dragon clan to him. The surface world is gone.
How did I get to know these two guys who are so weird...with a dodgy servant? Fortunately, Delia and Athena are still good listeners. As soon as she thought of this, she saw Delia looking at him expectantly, and then pointed to herself.
It's rare for a normal girl team member to be hacked by two unscrupulous bastards! Chen Rui reluctantly took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings, which were seized from Sapulina. They have high defensive power and can enhance the power of the water system.
Seeing Delia happily take it over, Chen Rui secretly sighed, is it easy for me
Athena watched all this with a smile, never taking back his hand.
Chen Rui's story was still going on, and when it came to the thrilling part, even the two guys who liked to interrupt kept their mouths shut.
Pagliu sat up from Jin Jing's bed, and said with emotion: "That Empress Catherine defeated the combination of Jacob's three peak devil emperors by herself?"
Chen Rui's story is still reserved, and the plot has been slightly changed. It is only said that Emperor Catherine came in person, and he was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, witnessing all this.
"That's right, that guy named Manu should be near death. If Jacob and Azgallo didn't run fast, there would definitely be casualties."
Pagliu really showed seriousness this time: The strength gap between the devil emperors is huge, but he is very clear about Jacob's strength. This Catherine actually possesses such strength. I am afraid that he is not an opponent, not to mention that he is now restricted by the seal and has only recovered to the state of the peak Demon Emperor. Even Pagliu himself couldn't see any clues about the six ancient rune slabs. It seems that he can only hope to find the fairy dragon Lola—whatever, when the time comes, he can sleep on this golden crystal bed. On the bed, it is no less than sleeping on a large pile of black crystal coins, at least you can have a solid dream tonight.
Delia was surprised to see Chen Rui take out the magic shield, the highest artifact of the Leviathan royal family, from his "body". This state of "fusion" should be the expression of the highest approval of the artifact. What surprised her even more was that she, who was originally recognized by the magic shield, could not sense that strange connection, and the magic shield could not be combined with the magic shield under such circumstances.
Chen Rui was surprised. Does the in-depth analysis of the super system still have the function of "grabbing control"? The God-eating mask that has been completely analyzed can't even be taken off. This is... equipment binding? Khan...
Originally, he analyzed the magic shield to give Yin Bailuo a chance to save his life. In the battle, the magic shield did save his life, but now it made the original successor Delia lose control. Chen Rui I can't help but regret it.
Seeing Chen Rui's thoughts, Delia smiled slightly, indicating that it's okay, with the phantom shield, she can still resist Bai Luo's spiritual shackles, and the rest naturally attribute this matter to the strange power inherited by the ancient master, otherwise a human , how could it be possible to fuse the Seven Artifacts? You know, Chen Rui not only has the magic shield in his hand, but also a complete artifact such as the God-eating mask, but the power seems to have weakened.
Luo Meng didn't care either, he was tough-talking, and jokes were jokes, and he was absolutely unambiguous in matters. Both his and Delia's lives were saved by Chen Rui, and it is Chen Rui's credit to be with Delia now, not to mention the magic shield, even if it is the magic weapon of the Belial royal family, the wind shadow boots, he doesn't care.
quiet night.
"Shall we sign a symbiotic contract?"
In the room, Athena was lying in Chen Rui's arms, and suddenly said such a sentence.
"I know that you can carry more than one contract." Athena raised her head seriously and looked at Chen Rui. "Although I don't know how to perform a symbiotic contract, Pagliu should be able to help us."
Chen Rui saw that Athena was not joking, and asked in surprise: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Three years ago, Lomon and Delia took an adventure together in the Wetland of the Night, and almost died; three years later, when Delia went to the Wetland of the Night, Lomon was still with him. And what about me? You are in the Wetland of the Night, While the Shadow Empire was desperate, I was left alone in this so-called safe place."
"I'm not a vase, I have the ability and courage to face danger with the man I love," Athena's eyes were already red, "I understand that you are thinking of me, just like when Lomon left Delia , also for her sake, but, is Delia happy?"
Chen Rui was shocked. Ever since the battle in the underground world of Xilang Mountain, he never wanted Athena to face danger again, but he never thought about it from her perspective.
"I know it's selfish to say this. Your wisdom is amazing. My father was amazed by your plans and calculations. I will not destroy your plans or become your burden," Athena's eyes gleamed with crystal tears : "I just want to connect life with you, and face life and death with you, even if I'm not by your side."
Chen Rui stared at the beloved woman in front of him, that face that still insisted on tears.
The scene of Xilang Mountain facing Grofen came to mind again. She transformed into a witch was burning with fiery flames of life.
"But, I still love you, not like, but love."
"Maybe like the story you told, we will meet again in a certain underworld, no matter what, don't forget me!"
This love of life and death has been deeply branded in each other's souls, even if it dissipates at the last moment, it will not disappear.
The corners of Chen Rui's eyes were moist, he held her face in his hands, and looked at those crystal red eyes affectionately, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world: "Athena, answer a few questions for me. If I don't have a house, Without a car, without money, are you still willing to accept my gaze?"
"Of course." Athena replied, a little strange in her heart: there is no house, can't they be built together? It's like the warm cottage in the green leafy forest of Xilang Mountain. Although it is simple, it is warmer than all the luxurious and spacious houses she lived in before. The car... is it a luxury carriage? What else can that thing do besides show off? As for the money... as long as it is enough, she doesn't like any special luxury anyway, sometimes just a piece of ordinary clothes he bought is enough to be happy for a long time.
"What if I have no power?"
Athena blushed: "Actually... in that rainy jungle, my heart was already cheated by you. At that time, you were just a powerless human being, at least you behaved in front of me. so."
Chen Rui straightened up, and solemnly said to Athena: "Then, the last question, Miss Athena, no matter poverty, disease or death, are you willing to accompany this man for the rest of your life?"
Athena suddenly understood something, and the hand held by him trembled slightly because of nervousness, and she said firmly, "I am willing, regardless of poverty, disease or death."
Feeling warm in Chen Rui's heart, she suddenly knelt down on one knee and put a magic ring on the ring finger of her left hand: "This is an ancient custom, which means... even if you want to go back on your word in the future, I will be ashamed I will snatch you back... Although it is a bit hasty, this magic ring I made by myself is an agreement in advance. When the time is right, we will have a grand ceremony that we will never forget."
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence: "This is the deepest bond and the best symbiotic contract."
Athena's heart was instantly filled with great happiness and surprise, tears overflowed from her eyes again, this time it was a sweet taste, the lips and tongues of the two were tightly intertwined, like two hearts.
After the affectionate kiss, the emotionally moved two people almost couldn't control it. Fortunately, Chen Rui finally restrained the desire in his heart. After all, Athena's twentieth birthday has not yet come, so she can't be ruined just because of a momentary impulse. This gave her the best chance to advance to the Great Demon King.
After calming down for a while, Athena's low voice sounded: "This time, you went to the Shadow Empire... have you seen her?"
"Just met once." Chen Rui didn't want to reveal Christina's identity, but only said that he met her once in the palace, and then went to Crystal Valley.
"Oh." Athena didn't continue to ask, as if she was just asking casually, and hearing an answer was enough, but Chen Rui still heard the "not taste" in it. I remember back then when this heroine promised that she would not be jealous, she agreed to accept Christina and even added the big and small princesses and Ji Ya, now...
"Don't think too much," Chen Rui shook his head, and said, "Actually, my relationship with her...is hard to come to fruition."
Athena's heart was sour when she mentioned Christina just now, but now she suddenly felt guilty again, as if she was really a petty jealous woman. After all, even a self-disciplined person like her father has twelve wives. In comparison, Chen Rui is indeed pitifully few, and immediately added: "By the way, Ji Ya... very pitiful. The princess has returned from Bailing's territory, let her come back here to live."
Chen Rui glanced at her in surprise, thinking that he had Athena and "provoked" other women, he felt ashamed, but at this point, it was impossible to abandon Ji Ya, luckily Ji Ya Athena was included in the acceptable "staff" personnel, thanks to the great environment of the Demon Realm.
He was smart enough not to say too much on this matter, and asked instead, "What's going on with Bai Ling's territory?"
Athena's answer made Chen Rui frown. Dark Moon, Chiyou, Bailing, and Lanrong are the four major territories of the Fallen Angel Empire. The Lord of Bailing, Sikali, is an admirer of the eldest princess and is also an admirer of the eldest princess. Supporting the largest lord of Dark Moon, this time is to invite the eldest princess to the territory as an official visit. Firstly, it is to show the attitude of the Bailing territory to the imperial capital, and secondly, it may want to give some assistance to the imperial capital's sanctions.
Chen Rui of Bailing's territory knew about it, but he didn't know that the lord Xi Kali was actually an admirer of Xi Ya. There was actually a hazy feeling between him and Xi Ya, and it was more of an ambiguity. Now that he heard this When things were going on, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Athena had always misunderstood the relationship between Chen Rui and Xi Ya before, but now she didn't notice his little emotions, she just sighed: "The eldest princess doesn't know about Ji Ya, in order to prevent her from taking the opportunity to make troubles in the territory, she specially took her Let's go to Bailing together. The affairs in the territory will be taken care of by old Goss, old Ford of the Saifo family and me. Your method is very effective. After special training, the guards even wiped out a few thieves, which is a big change Yes, the recruitment of recruits went very smoothly. It's just that... from time to time, some guys with excess energy made troubles, and not long ago there were conflicts with the Guards."
Chen Rui noticed how tired she was when she came back today, and hugged her distressedly: "I'm sorry, I'm the one who troubled you."
Athena shook her head: "I am very happy to be able to help you, and I grew up in a military camp since I was a child, and I like that atmosphere very much."
"Excess energy?" Chen Rui thought for a while, "Don't worry, I'll find a solution."
"Well..." Athena moved comfortably on his chest, and there were still many trivial troubles, but as soon as this man came back, it seemed that he had a backbone, and those complicated things became simpler.
