Facing the countless crystals full of terrifying coldness, an object in Chen Rui's hand emitted a strong light, and a strange blue light door appeared in the void. Carnita recognized that this light door was "Charles"'s way to go back and forth between the demon world and the human world. The gate of space immediately exclaimed: "He wants to return to the human world!"
The hostility flashed in Zhuoqie's eyes, and the symbol wrapped in the blue flame on the fingertips suddenly burst open, and the room instantly turned into a world of ice. Surprisingly, there is also a strange electric light in the snowstorm.
Chen Rui could vaguely feel that the water element and the wind element seemed to be perfectly fused together. This is the power of compound elements! Normally, magicians can only use one elemental power at the same time, but there are also very few gifted people who can use two or more elements at the same time, and combine the power of these two elements that are difficult to fuse with The combination of special methods exerts extraordinary power.
This is the power of compound elements. The power of compound magic is not as simple as one plus one equals two, it is enough to cause multiple effects. But this compounding process is full of dangers. If one is not careful during the cultivation process, it may hurt oneself. If it is not someone who has an extremely deep understanding of magic elements and has extraordinary control, it will not be successful.
Of course, not all elements can be mixed together, such as water element and fire element, wind element and earth element, light element and dark element, each other is "mortal enemy" and cannot be combined under normal circumstances.
Zhuoqie's ability to become one of the four major lords is definitely not achieved by relying on the wind and the wind and standing in the opposite camp. His own strength is also an important factor.
With a thought, Chen Rui saw a translucent blue shield appearing around his body, which was not affected by the snowstorm. He walked towards the light gate step by step. Although the blue shield quickly began to crack under the power of the snowstorm, according to the With the progress of this pace, it is completely possible to walk into the light gate before the shield is shattered.
Zhuoqie immediately changed his tactics, waved his hand towards the light gate, and countless sizzle-sounding ice crystals poured into the light gate, but passed through them, as if they were just a phantom that did not exist. Chen Rui had already walked in front of the Guangmen, and took a step. To Zhuoqie's surprise, half of the human's foot was not in the entrance, and it was not the kind of crossing that Bingjing just made—this strange "door" is definitely not a phantom!
Zhuoqie frowned. If it was the "Gate of Time and Space" of the water system, the ice crystals he had mixed with the power of the domain just now should be able to interfere or eliminate this door, but the result was not affected at all, and he didn't even feel any water element Is the fluctuation really the lost power of space
Chen Rui's thoughts turned, he took a step, but took it back, pointed at the door of space, and the door disappeared.
This move was beyond the expectations of Zhuoqie and Carnita. Chen Rui spread his five fingers, and the shield that originally protected him disappeared.
Give up life? Is this human crazy? What exactly do you want to do
"Master Zhuoqie," after removing the protective cover, Chen Rui's feet were already covered with a thin layer of ice, but his eyes fell on Zhuoqie's face like flames, "We humans also have a saying, there is no one in the world. A free lunch. I hope to prove my sincerity in cooperation with this almost death-defying performance."
Zhuoqie's eyes narrowed slightly, but Blizzard didn't wrap it up immediately, nor did he open his mouth.
"As the heir of a family, I have to take responsibility. I am here now, and I am forced to accept your magic spell." Chen Rui's voice was sonorous and powerful: "I believe that any liar will not risk his life for such a thing." risk."
Zhuoqie snorted coldly, and the blizzard immediately enveloped it, mixed with flickering electric light, ravaging the central human figure, even Kanita, who was a spectator, was terrified.
The blizzard gradually dissipated, and the dots of crystal light in the room were also extinguished one by one. The human in the center had solidified into an ice sculpture, and all parts except the head were firmly frozen.
A sizzling thunder ball rose in Zhuoqie's hand: "As long as this thunder ball hits you, your body will turn into a ball of powder, but I specially left a head for you to confess my last words."
The power of the devil emperor level is by no means a child's play, especially the powerful power of compound elements.
Chen Rui's lips had been turned purple from the cold, and his skin had turned bluish white. These were only superficial symptoms. The trauma and pain caused by the elemental power that broke through the surface defenses and ravaged and destroyed the body almost exceeded his endurance. limit.
In the eyes of Zhuoqie and Carnita, although the muscles of the human face were distorted due to pain, and the voice trembled a little, the eyes were still extremely firm: "I only say the last two words, sincerity."
Zhuoqie's face was filled with murderous aura, and the thunderball flew towards Chen Rui's body, hitting it squarely, and the sound of shattering suddenly resounded.
However, what shattered was not Chen Rui's body, but the solid ice that wrapped him. This hand was handled just right, which shows that Zhuoqie's magic control has reached its peak.
"No matter which world you are in, strength and courage are elements worthy of respect. Human beings, I have to say that you have successfully demonstrated your sincerity." Zhuoqie's murderous aura gradually subsided, and he returned to the throne and sat down again. Go, when this sentence is finished, the world of ice and snow in the room has disappeared, as if nothing happened.
Chen Rui heaved a sigh of relief, the bet just now seemed to be the right place, Zhuoqie didn't show the real ultimate move, it was more of a test.
Moreover, when Chen Rui judged that the opponent possessed the compound magic of the two elements of wind and water, there were silently more items in the armor that could resist the wind and water elements and reduce the power of magic. The two passive attributes of "Spirit Guiding" that deal 30% damage and "Anti-magic" that halve magic damage, the magic damage just now has been reduced to the minimum. Even if the lightning ball really had killing intent, it wouldn't shatter his body, and he could summon the Star Gate to escape again.
It's just that if you do that, all your previous efforts will be wasted.
Zhuoqie was indeed difficult to deal with, but luckily the trick was successful, and the most difficult stage at the beginning was passed.
"My lord is such a powerful compound magic, especially the mastery of elements is so wonderful!" Despite this, Chen Rui was still traumatized, and immediately drank the anti-cold potion and recovery potion, praising: "Even if The holy mage in the Holy Empire's mage tower is also a bit inferior."
Zhuoqie accepted this praise calmly: "Your strength should have faintly reached the beginning stage of the Demon Emperor... By the way, according to you humans, you have already touched the edge of the holy level."
Kanita nodded secretly, this powerful human has indeed reached the level of the Demon Emperor.
Zhuoqie's judgment is based on the pure destructive aura emitted by human beings before, and human beings' adaptation to the power of the domain and the endurance of hard-wired magic, but they don't know that this kind of confident judgment is actually high-level. Overestimated the opponent.
The previous destructive aura was something Chen Rui learned from his spiritual branding. At present, he can barely make the aura overflow, which is actually a bluffing shell; It is said that it is the attribute of the super system plus the magical effect of the equipment.
"My lord has good eyesight." Chen Rui didn't explain, and nodded slightly, "It's just that I can feel that my lord just used a little bit of strength. If I used real power, I would have been completely dead just now."
Zhuoqie smiled noncommittally: "Please sit down."
Since that human being is also a "devil emperor level" existence, at least he has the strength to talk to him on an equal footing.
Chen Rui sat down: "I understand the feelings of the lord, I am a human being, and this time I am here to make you pay a lot of money. But, as the lord said before, there is never something that you get for nothing. How can there be any gains without paying? To be honest, with the financial resources of my Camplot family, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of black crystal coins are really nothing, but now is a particularly difficult time, and funds are urgently needed to be unfrozen. Those restricted investment projects…”
Zhuoqie didn't wait for him to finish, and interjected: "Your Excellency Charles, your words are too vague. I hope to understand every detail of what you said. This is the most basic prerequisite for our cooperation."
After thinking for a while, Chen Rui told the general situation of the Camplot family. First, he introduced the family's financial resources, industry and huge influence, and then mainly highlighted the feud with the second prince Garfield.
Under Garfield's means, the Camplot family was suddenly and completely blocked, the family's various sources of funds were frozen, and investment projects were forced to stop operating. Most importantly, Emperor Rex was handed over to Camplot. The progress of the Crystal City completed by the Te family has also stopped. If it cannot be completed within the specified time, the second prince will take advantage of the situation and kill, causing the entire Camplot family to fall into a catastrophe.
Under such adversity, the original "friends" have adopted a wait-and-see or even defected attitude. It is becoming more and more difficult to maintain the liquidity of the huge business system. Even if they want to sell real estate or exchange commodities for cash, no one is willing to buy them. Start-up funds It is only a few million and it is impossible to make up. If this continues, the Camplot family will collapse before the completion of Crystal City.
During this most difficult period, the patriarch Carlo thought of another son, Samuel, who went to the Demon Realm to practice. The Demon Realm may be the only hope that can help the family overcome difficulties. On the carnitas line.
After Carnita's first investment of 7 million yuan, the deadlock was finally broken, and then through a series of means such as the withdrawal of funds, the situation was greatly eased, and all the benefits obtained were handed over to Carnita. At present, there are still many investment projects that urgently need funds to be activated. The Camplot family has collected nearly 200 million funds, and it is estimated that there is still a gap of 50 million black crystal coins. help.
What Chen Rui said was true. Crystal City is indeed the mission of the Camplot family, and Carlo is having a headache because of this, but the situation is far from as bad as Chen Rui said. When elaborating, Chen Rui added some economic management terms such as marginal cost, moral hazard, and supply law from time to time. Zhuoqie was so thoughtful that he was dizzy when he half understood, and only felt that human beings The business methods are really extraordinary, no wonder the ground world is much more prosperous than the devil world.
Chen Rui went around in a big circle, and finally turned back: "Now there is still a shortfall of 50 million black crystal coins, the rate of return is 70%, and the total is 83.5 million. As promised by Your Excellency Nita, I will return it in three installments. My younger brother Samuel will continue to stay in the Demon Realm as a representative of sincerity."
Zhuoqie didn't promise immediately, but said indifferently: "In any case, the demon world and human beings are always enemies. Your Excellency Charles is not afraid that this matter will be exposed in the future and your entire family will be implicated if you deal with the enemy like this?"
"This 'future'... will have to wait at least two hundred years later. This is my personal behavior. I will bear any responsibility on my own. As long as the Camplot family can maintain its value to the empire, it will prosper forever. "Chen Rui shrugged disapprovingly, "What's more, our human lifespan is not as long as that of the demons. In two hundred years, even if there are no accidents, I will almost die. This is not a problem."
"It is undeniable that your proposal moved me, but..." Zhuoqie nodded: "First, I still can't trust you, even if you leave your brother in the devil world, it can't be a real guarantee for this cooperation; second, Assuming that what you said is true, our cooperation is effective. However, even if you can get 83.5 million for 50 million, as a reward for saving your family, I think it is still far from enough. "
"If the lord is willing to cooperate, then 50 million is just the beginning, and you will get more benefits in the future, but the premise is that you must invest. The huge business system is profitable. After this difficulty is overcome, the follow-up rate of return will gradually stabilize and is expected to be around 10%. Our cooperation time can be longer, but due to the consideration of jihad time, this time cannot exceed 100% Year."
Zhuo Qie looked like he was thinking, but his heart had already begun to move—even though the Chiyou territory was a relatively rich territory in the Fallen Angel Empire, it could not compare with the rich human world after all. If we can cooperate with the largest business family in the human world, the benefits will be unimaginably huge. No matter how many bad harvests or accidents the territory encounters, it can still guarantee a steady stream of wealth. With money, there will be a stronger army and combat effectiveness, and perhaps some ambitions that were unimaginable before may be realized...
The most important thing is that with such favorable conditions, the other party does not necessarily have to rely on Chiyou. If it is replaced by the Blue Molten Territory or the Bailing Territory, or even the big forces other than the Fallen Angel Empire, they will also choose to cooperate. It seems that Carnita can happen to It was great luck to accept that Samuel.
"As for the issue of trust..." A ray of light appeared in Chen Rui's hand: "This cooperation contract is an equal contract. As long as we both sign this contract, even if my brother Samuel leaves the Demon Realm, the cooperation between us will not be creditable." It won't have any effect, my lord, what do you think?"
The equal contract is a high-level contract, and generally only the devil-level powerhouse can perform it. Zhuoche felt the power of that contract, and he no longer had any doubts, and showed a rare smile: "I think, we can discuss cooperation next. Details."
Chen Rui also smiled, because this "contract" was created by him with a spiritual link, and its attribute - cancellable.
It is indeed not easy to pass Zhuoqie's level, and even paid a heavy price, but the result is very satisfactory, because this big fish finally took the bait.
