In the imperial capital, Chen Rui took a sum of funds provided by Hei Yao and set foot on the portal to the "human world".
The financial resources of an empire are naturally far from comparable to that of a territory. Obsidian's move is quite generous, directly throwing out one billion black crystal coins, paying such a huge sum of money to a human being who has only been in contact with it for a short time. I have to say that this regent is still Very bold. However, Chen Rui knew very well that this number was far from the opponent's bottom line. It could be said that it was a kind of temptation.
Chen Rui claimed that this injection of funds far exceeded his original plan and could activate most of the projects, so the rebate could be rebate within half a month at the earliest, and the interest rate was 10%. Due to the high investment, Black Yao half You can make a net profit of 100 million a month, and this rebate rate is already quite impressive.
Chen Rui left the imperial capital and did not return to Dark Moon, but went to a mysterious place.
Rainbow Valley.
Compared with the poetic and picturesque name Rainbow Valley, the place where Chen Rui lives can only be described as "poor mountains and bad waters".
Huge, sinister, and barren, except for a few colorful flowers that are occasionally seen as highlights, there is nothing valuable to be found at all.
However, the origin of the Rainbow Valley is not because of the beautiful scenery here, but because it is said that every time a rainbow appears here, a mysterious valley will appear, and when the rainbow disappears, the valley will disappear again.
Chen Rui came here naturally to repair the Requiem Fruit of the Heart of Elements, but there is no fixed time for the appearance of this rainbow, and the interval may be months, years or days. When there is no rainbow, there will be no trace of that mysterious valley.
When Chen Rui came, he didn't see the rainbow, so naturally he couldn't see the legendary Rainbow Valley. He was not the first person to explore in normal times, but now he is the only one here, because thousands of years ago No one who came to explore has gained anything, and as time goes by, no one is willing to waste time.
Unlike those adventurers who are purely curious, Chen Rui came here with a considerable purpose, but this is completely different from the "artificial treasure" he made in the dark moon. He didn't find any magic circle or the like, but he still didn't give up , took out the tent that he carried with him, and stayed here.
A whole day passed, still nothing, and no rainbow appeared.
Chen Rui has already obtained the true biography of Pagli's Oolong inscription, and has obtained a lot of knowledge of magic circles in the Artisan Alliance, especially those mysterious magic circles in the ancient magic tower, which are not limited to the field of artefacts. . The rainbow is likely to be the trigger for the triggering of some kind of magic circle, or the appearance caused by the triggering of a certain key point. No matter whether the inducement exists or not, the Rainbow Valley must be a real existence, but it is usually hidden, and the entrance to the teleportation or space cannot be found.
As someone who is proficient in magic circles (it can be said like this), Chen Rui has a faint feeling that it is too "natural" for him to get nothing in the valley, as if everything was produced under the guidance of the environment and conditions, which on the contrary seems obvious. There are some traces of chiseling. An ordinary adventurer or magic circle researcher would not feel this way.
Of course, it is not ruled out that it is some kind of hallucination.
If this feeling is true, then the plants and trees seen now may even be part of Rainbow Valley's hidden self, that is to say, this "magic circle" has been perfectly integrated into nature, with almost no flaws.
If it was set up artificially, then the person who set up the magic circle... has reached the point of being unpredictable.
With this assumption in mind, Chen Rui began to pay attention to some details and record daily natural changes, such as the shadow of the double moon, the direction of the wind, the position of the hill, etc.
It took him another day to enter the refining room and connect to the time-hundred times rule of the training ground. This time, he didn't practice or make equipment, but used the dragon language inscriptions, magic circle knowledge and making equipment in his mind. The notes of the Weapon Masters Alliance were carefully sorted out, and corresponding experiments and calculations were carried out in the refining room.
When Chen Rui withdrew from the refinery, his view of the valley changed again. After applying the calculated results to reality, he searched all the way and finally found a "spot" in a rotten pool of water. ".
This point does not trigger the appearance of the Rainbow Valley. Perhaps it is just a useless auxiliary node in the mysterious space. For Chen Rui, it is a breakthrough and a major progress, which fully proves the feasibility of the idea.
In the next few days, Chen Rui devoted himself to research and calculation, and found more points one after another, some were in caves, and some were buried deep under the roots of big trees...
After using the rules of time in the refining room to deduce many times, these "points" were finally connected into a vein. After trying to activate the entire "surface", after countless failures, an elliptical channel was successfully opened. It's like a door.
This passage is not like a teleportation point, but an entrance to some kind of space. Unknown space is a very dangerous concept, and there is a danger of being trapped in space turbulence at any time. After the entrance was opened, it immediately began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was only the size of the mouth of a water tank in a blink of an eye.
This kind of channel is a temporary "variable", which is quite random. It will take a lot of effort to re-deduce it next time to open it again. Chen Rui gritted his teeth, shook his body, and rushed in.
As soon as I rushed into the space channel, I felt that my body and soul encountered an irresistible force. I was so dazzled that I couldn't see anything clearly. I just felt that the world was spinning and twisting. This twisting feeling lasted forever It took nearly half an hour before it gradually disappeared.
After returning to normal, Chen Rui's viscera twitched for a while, and he almost vomited out. When he regained his composure, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
Looking around, there is greenery everywhere, clear flowing water can be seen in the mountain stream, the air is full of freshness and fragrance of plants, there is a light mist in the woods in front, and there are pleasant birdsong from time to time.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of the sentence "The clouds are green and green, like rain, and the water is dull, and there is smoke". It is completely different from the previous appearance of poor mountains and bad waters.
This should be the real Rainbow Valley!
However, this "Wonderland" is not simple, it can be described as frightening every step of the way. Chen Rui can feel that there are irregular and dangerous "threads" everywhere, which are dozens of times more complicated than the outside. If you walk rashly, the lightest consequence is to be teleported out of this space.
From the current position to the woods in front, there are at least three unavoidable dangers, which must be "deciphered" step by step. The context of this danger has become an "element" that is integrated with the Rainbow Valley. A simple magic circle is comparable. Even if Chen Rui has the experience of entering here, he can't unlock the secret in a short time. He can only use the most stupid method, one step at a time, and one step at a time. Fortunately, he has a large amount of magic in his storage warehouse. You can also use the time rule to research, and slowly search for the requiem fruit steadily and steadily.
Meanwhile, in a bizarre house.
A graceful figure in a long skirt controls a strange instrument two meters away in the distant sky.
"The last top-grade thunder fire crystal is here. After about three hours of pressurization, it will start to soften. This time, we must grasp the heat and the best timing to extract the purest trace of compound element power." (self-reminder )
"Will you succeed?" (confused)
"Of course, don't look at who this lady is?" (Confidence)
"Thunder Flint is the most unstable crystal, what if it fails again?" (worried)
"If I fail again, I won't take a shower for a week, no, a month!" (gritting teeth)
"It will definitely succeed!"
A white jade-like finger pointed at the mirror... It turned out that the conversation just now was from the same person.
At this time, the huge crystal ball on the side shone with a little red light.
"Wait! It seems that some small bug has broken in? Strange, it seems that no blasting experiments have been done these days... Never mind! Anyway, it will disappear soon."
The little red dot on the crystal ball started to move.
"The little bug actually moved forward. There is a big gift waiting in front of him. The countdown counts down to disappear in ten seconds. One, two, three..."
"Eh? It still hasn't disappeared? Then I'll give you another minute. If it doesn't disappear within a minute, I'll cut my most beloved nails!"
(the red dot is still there)
"Last time! If it's still ten minutes old, then Miss Ben won't have lunch for a while!"
(Ten minutes later, the red dot still hasn't disappeared)
"You're so lucky? I'll give you one last chance! Anyway, there are still three hours to extract the elements, so it's time to have some fun... for half an hour! Bet on my lady's dinner tonight!"
(After half an hour, the red dot actually moved on.)
"Could it be a 'God Blessed One Day' to increase luck? Hmph! Even with that magic blessing, you can't escape the fiery formation in front of you. Poor little bug, it just disappeared, but now it's going to disappear forever! The last hour! Bet Miss Uemoto's breakfast tomorrow!"
(In less than an hour, the red dot passed through the fiery array again and continued to move forward.)
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I'll give you one last chance..."
"..."
Chen Rui didn't know that he had successfully defeated a certain lady several times, finally reached the woods, and began to search for the whereabouts of the Requiem Fruit.
The requiem fruit usually grows near the water source. When Chen Rui searched along a small stream in the woods, he unlocked two magic circles, but found nothing. Instead, the surrounding environment has undergone strange changes. I couldn't find the way. The lost Chen Rui stumbled around like a hooded fly for a while, and found a spring in front of a deep cave.
This spring exudes a dense, strange atmosphere, which makes Chen Rui feel familiar, the spring of resurrection!
There is a spring of resurrection in Rainbow Valley. This is not the artificial spring of life in his cottage in the Blue Pond Mountains. It should be a real and natural spring of resurrection.
With a thought, Chen Rui searched around the cave, and finally saw a blue plant under a rock wall, with four purple fruits the size of walnuts hanging down. This shape is very consistent with the requiem fruit!
Not only that, but there is also a complex magic circle in front, which seems to be able to maintain growth and protect. Chen Rui was studying this magic circle, when there was a muffled sound in the distance, as if something had burst.
Chen Rui was taken aback. At this moment, there was a strange distortion in the space, and there was already an extra figure.
"Damn guy!"
It was a female voice, and the tone seemed to be gritted, as if there was some deep hatred.
"Not only ruined my most important experiment, and made me unable to take a bath for a month, but also shamelessly deprived Miss Ben of three days of rations! It is simply unforgivable!"
This is a slender young woman, wearing a long skirt, with a bumpy figure. Although it is not as good as Isabella's "murder weapon", she looks plump and well-proportioned. Her long purple hair is casually tied in a bun, and her facial features are delicate and delicate. Exquisite, with a pair of glasses, full of intelligence and amazing beauty.
It's just that the face of this intellectual beauty is full of bitter and vengeful anger. The strange thing is that the beauty just casually stepped in the center of the magic circle. The magic circle that was supposed to erupt in full force seemed as docile as a kitten, without even the slightest sign of activation. Chen Rui can be sure that if he stepped in like this, the end would definitely be smashed to pieces.
Unless, this magic circle has some kind of "intelligent recognition" singular ability, that is to say, when it is set up, it has been endowed with the highest law of some "exception". Beauty.
What surprised Chen Rui even more was that she angrily asked the crime—ruined the experiment? Prevent this lady from taking a bath? And took away her... rations for three days
Does this have something to do with my dime? Chen Rui just felt baffled, it was clearly the first time they met!
This innocent guy didn't know that he had become the object of "betting" and not only "won" the food and drink for three days, but also caused a certain lady to completely fail that important experiment when she was distracted.
At this moment, the analytical eyes of the super system showed the information of this beauty.
Race: Dragon (Fairy Dragon).
Comprehensive strength assessment: Unable to judge.
Fairy... fairy dragon? Chen Rui was shocked immediately, even when he saw the crystal dragon Jacob in Crystal Valley, he was not so horrified.
How many fairy dragons are there in the Demon Realm
Could it be...
Chen Rui's little heart began to throb violently.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw silver light flashing all over the sky. Before he could react, he fell to the ground, with strong silver electric sparks all over his body - he felt that his body was rapidly eroded by a strange elemental power, This kind of elemental power is not pure wind element, but a mixture of wind, fire, and darkness. It spreads rapidly in the body like a spider web, destroying his resistance in an instant, making him almost unable to move.
Compound magic! What's more, it's a combination of three elements, and it's instantaneous without any preparation, which has almost surpassed the cognition of magic practitioners!
The compounding of three elements is by no means a simple effect of triple superposition. Although Chen Rui has the characteristics of anti-magic and spirit-leading, which can greatly reduce the damage and effectiveness of magic, but facing this terrible compound magic of three elements, he still cannot. Resisting, quickly activated teleportation, opened the distance, struggled and shouted: "Wait a minute, listen to me first..."
