With the auction and trade fair approaching, Dark Moon is becoming more and more lively day by day.
This grand event has attracted the attention of many people in the demon world. The three devil fruits auctioned alone are enough to drive many demons crazy.
Devil fruit is a rare fruit that only ripens once in hundreds of years, and it has extraordinary significance to demons other than the royal family. In addition to improving strength, it can also greatly increase potential, increasing the possibility of breaking through the bottleneck several times, and there is also a very small chance of obtaining additional special abilities.
Even for the royal family, in addition to potential, the increase in strength and that extra special ability are quite attractive.
In the history of the Demon Realm, there used to be a lord war for the devil fruit. If this auction was before the Dark Moon Lord War, then the nearby territories would likely be coveted or even robbed. However, now the Dark Moon has defeated Lan Rong and Chi You. The alliance of the big territories already has enough deterrent effect.
In fact, Chen Rui now has so many Devil Fruits that he can sell them in big baskets in the wholesale market. However, rarity is more expensive, and there will not be too many Devil Fruits for the time being.
Dark Moon's victory in the Lord's War and the convening of auctions and trade fairs caused merchants and merchants who had evacuated to return one after another. Those vacant shops were all sold out through bidding a week after Shia announced the news.
The recruitment of new recruits was also going smoothly. The population of the Dark Moon Territory was already large. This victory greatly inspired the hearts of the people. Coupled with the generous treatment, the crowd was enthusiastic, and there was a long queue at the recruitment office every day. Of course, these applicants must go through a certain screening and assessment before they can officially become a member of the Dark Moon Army.
What surprised the soldiers and civilians of the Dark Moon most was that the secret method of the treasure in the Blue Pond Mountain Range was indeed effective. All the transformed magic soil had been successfully planted with crops, and the growth situation was very gratifying, which was better than the only fertile soil in the territory. It will be several times more, which means that Dark Moon will always get rid of the biggest weakness of food shortage, and truly become self-sufficient.
The renovation of the water supply and sewage system in Darkmoon City was completed more than half before the Lord's War, and now it is finally completed. Almost every household has used "tap water". This convenience has also spawned many accompanying "magic devices". For example, showers, automatic toilets, etc., and quickly became popular throughout the dark moon, which improved the quality of life in the entire city and surprised those outsiders.
Seeing that their research results were finally successful and drinking was promoted throughout the territory, the two masters, Da Da and Skye, showed a look of relief. When the lord battle was approaching, Dark Moon's people were in a state of panic. Prince Tetris of the Blood Fiend Empire had sent Montero, who was at the beginning of the Demon Emperor, to persuade Master Da Da to leave Dark Moon and go to the Blood Fiend Empire to avoid disaster.
Master Da Da wanted to be moved, but he already knew that Terris was not an easy person, and the Blood Fiend Empire would definitely not go, but at least he would take Sasa away from the war-torn dangerous place of Dark Moon.
Sally, Skye's lover, insisted on staying because her elder brother Ardas was loyal to the Princess Shea and would never leave in times of crisis. revealed. Skye considered again and again and decided to stay. Leaving aside Sally's relationship, "Agulie" had the grace to rebuild him and his daughter, so he had to do his part no matter what. Master Da Da gritted his teeth and simply stayed.
The result of the final lord battle was beyond everyone's expectations, and the two masters finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the new financial officer, Chen Rui has been very busy these days, the renovation of the water supply system, the reorganization of shops, the management of the Cloak Club, the start of Delia's "Dark Demon", the affairs of the United Chamber of Commerce... he was very busy all day long, For this reason, Xi Ya also specially set up the Ministry of Finance, with Chen Rui as the chief executive, equipped with many capable subordinates, but because it was just starting, it could not be the hands-off shopkeeper.
Of course, no matter how busy they are, it is absolutely necessary to take Athena and Ji Ya to practice "practice" together at night. The fully nourished female sheriff and maid look radiant and charming.
Although the characteristic of "Double Cultivation" can refine strength, it has no effect on the experience of transforming the realm, and the experience is still 0. Although the transforming realm happened to be upgraded during the papapa, papapa cannot make this realm truly improvement.
To practice "law" in the law realm, what the transformation realm needs is "transformation". This realm is a bit puzzling. The super system does not have a clear reminder, but just like the previous law realm, there is a vague and mysterious feeling in my heart. Once you have mastered this feeling, you will be able to truly comprehend the mystery of Huajing.
In addition to the newly acquired skills and buildings, a series of good things have been added to the imperial spirit class and blueprint formula class in the exchange center.
There are four types of medicines, plants, imperial spirits and blueprint recipes in the exchange center.
1. Medicines: In addition to common medicines, there are also a full set of black medicines including resurrection medicines and life extension medicines.
2. Plants: There are the seeds of the pivot fairy, the Juling flower, etc., which are the main source of spiritual energy and the source power of the entire super system. Among them, the pivot fairy is also the soul of the Star Garden.
3. Spirit-guarding categories: including scurrying insects, gluttonous vines, guardian vines and winged butterflies, the first two of which are used more in actual combat and have a time limit; guardian vines are treasures for protecting the house, and now Chen Rui is in Guardian vines were also planted around the inner courtyard of the palace to protect Sister Xia; as for the winged butterflies, they have not yet been used.
This time there are two types of imperial spirits added.
1. Return tree—attributes: reply, timing. Restore physical strength and magic power within the range of action, the action can be timed, the longest lifespan is one month, 1000 spiritual energy per plant.
Due to the passive nature of the star itself, the return tree should not be very useful to him, but it can be used to restore his companions, and it has a very positive role in military training or combat.
2. The fruit of endowment—attribute, endowed by Yuling. Give the spirit-controlling plant to the medium used by others, the longest time is one day, 1000 spirit energy per piece.
The emergence of the fruit of endowment has brought about a qualitative change in the functions of imperial spirits. For example, the winged butterfly, which has not been used before, can now allow an ordinary person who has not reached the level of the devil to have the ability to glide and fly, although there is a time limit , but in a specific environment, it can play an unexpected role.
4. Blueprint recipes: The original artifact "Leiyin" has always been an indispensable treasure in Chen Rui's battle, and now it has increased to six.
The first three are weapons, and the blueprints are priced at 30 million auras.
Beiming (long sword) - especially sharp, speeding up the attack, doubling the level of mastery of swordsmanship, halving the damage of water and light magic, absorbing the power of the attacked during the attack, and launching the skill "Wanliu Guizong" with full power, water , Light dual-attribute sword energy damage. Automatically repair damage, must recognize the owner.
Judgment (epee)—doubles attack power, doubles defense power, recovers stamina quickly, and has a chance to stun the opponent when attacking. Additional skill: "Judgment", with a 50% chance of ignoring the opponent's defense, greatly increasing the crushing damage, and can only be used once per hour. Automatically repair damage, must recognize the owner.
Mystic Shadow (rod) - doubles the power of all types of magic, doubles the casting speed, and is immune to soul attacks. With the skill "Breakthrough Field", there is a chance to ignore the opponent's magic defense or immune body. Can only be cast once per hour. Automatically repair damage, must recognize the owner.
The latter three are armors, and the blueprints are priced at 20 million auras.
Overlord Armor (Heavy Armor)—Significantly increases strength and defense, weakens, absorbs damage and converts it into physical strength. Additional skills: "Overlord Unarmor", greatly weakens the defense of all enemies within the range, and can lock the target unit. It is limited to one use every six hours, and each time it works for one hour. Automatically repairs damage, has the ability to extend and shape change, must recognize the owner.
Mysterious Jade Armor (Light Armor)—Increases movement speed, increases mental power, and reduces long-range damage by half. Additional skills: "Blood Halo", the speed of friendly troops within 100 meters increases, the attack power increases, and auxiliary units can be locked. It is limited to one use every six hours, and each time it works for one hour. Automatically repairs damage, has the ability to extend and shape change, must recognize the owner.
Phantom Feather Yarn (civilian clothing)—Increases movement speed, quickly restores physical strength, mental strength and magic power, and greatly increases magic resistance. Additional skill: "Facing the Wind with Void", automatically triggers teleportation when receiving a fatal attack, and escapes danger. It can be used only twice per hour. Automatically repairs damage, has the ability to extend and shape change, must recognize the owner.
Each of these six artifact-level weapons and armors made him salivate, and each weapon had its own characteristics, especially the Overlord Armor and Xuanyu Armor even had halo skills. Although the price is expensive, at present his aura has reached 160 million. The price of the blueprint is not a problem, but it requires a lot of rare materials, and it is impossible to get together for a while, and even one piece cannot be made. I hope that in this trade fair Can gain something.
In addition to the exchange center, the "spiritual link" related to the contract has also undergone new changes, but the strengthening and other functions also require the crystallization of faith. For now, we can only wait for the harvest of the Tower of Faith.
On this day, Chen Rui returned to the office building of the Ministry of Finance after finishing some trivial matters from the United Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, Ji Ya was waiting for him in the office. At this time, Ji Ya should be at the busiest time in Princess Square. And she brought someone with her.
This person was tall and had an unfamiliar face, but the fierce aura hidden between his brows gave Chen Rui a vaguely familiar feeling.
At this time, Ji Ya bowed and saluted, and said, "Master, Ji Ya has something to ask you."
"oh?"
Chen Rui and Ji Ya are already the closest relationship, but now Ji Ya seems a little too polite. With the degree of mutual understanding between the two, Chen Rui felt that something was wrong, and with a thought, the analytical eyes were opened.
Race: Gluttonous royal family, comprehensive strength assessment: S- (S+)
Physique: S-(S+) Strength: S(S+) Spirit: S-(S) Dexterity: S-(S)
Analysis: soil properties.
Beelzebub royal family! Peak Devil Emperor!
Chen Rui's heart was shocked, it met this condition, and Ji Ya had such an abnormal expression and title, the true identity of this Demon Emperor Beelzebub was ready to be revealed!
Ji Ya's father, one of the leaders of the blood annihilation organization, the king of Beelzebub who had intersected with Chen Rui in Crystal Valley - Azgalor. Beelzebub!
Azgalor actually came to Dark Moon himself!
The sensing ability of the devil emperor level is quite subtle. Although Chen Rui's emotional fluctuations were only fleeting, they were still caught by Azgalo, and there was a faint doubt in his eyes.
"So that's how it is!" Chen Rui yelled loudly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Graça, give me the layout of the trade fair immediately!"
Grasa outside responded and hurried towards another office. Chen Rui muttered something, as if he just remembered something, and said to Ji Ya: "Jiya, please don't disturb me, I will Just thought of the trade fair."
"Yes, Master." Hearing Chen Rui's harsh tone, Ji Ya understood in her heart, she was relieved, and bowed respectfully.
Chen Rui turned a blind eye to Ji Ya and Azgallo, and walked in the hall while making a contemplative expression. This affectation was just to cover up the shock just now. Azgallo came to the dark moon. What is the purpose
Although Azgallo, Jacob, and Manu besieged Catherine and fled in a big defeat, the strength of the peak devil emperor is here. Looking at the entire Dark Moon, only the earth elemental king and Crow are the devil emperors. Beluth, Moore, the king of the earth element, has improved in strength after the return of the heart of the earth element, but he has only reached the apex of the middle-level devil emperor, and there is still a small difference from the peak devil emperor.
Even among the peak devil emperors, the gap between each other is not small. Even if the earth elemental king breaks through to the peak devil emperor, he is not Azgalo's opponent. Unless Pagliu can recover his strength, no one in the dark moon can No match for the king of Beelzebub.
While thinking, Graça has quickly brought over the venue layout of the trade fair. Chen Rui marked it for a while, and it took a long time to complete it. He nodded in satisfaction and ordered Graça some matters, which is right. Ji Ya said: "By the way, Ji Ya, you seem to be saying something?"
Ji Ya nodded and said, "I'm sorry to disturb the master's work. I brought a guest today and I want to introduce it to the master."
Chen Rui set his sights on Azgallo who was in disguise. As expected, Azgallo hadn't been suspicious just now, and he had been waiting patiently without showing any signs of impatience. He said politely: "Mr. , is really a busy person. Please forgive me if I disturb you."
"This guest is..."
Ji Ya interjected: "Master, he... is Ji Ya's long-lost father."
"Father?" Chen Rui was taken aback. He didn't expect Azgallo to appear in this "real" identity, and asked deliberately: "Didn't you tell me that your parents have passed away for a long time?"
There were tears in Ji Ya's eyes, more for her deceased mother, Freya: "The thing is like this, when my parents and I met a group of thieves, my father and mother stayed behind to hold back the thieves in order to cover my escape. I thought both my parents died, but my father survived."
There was kindness in Azgalo's eyes, and he said a little excitedly: "My name is Gallo. I have been looking for Ji Ya's whereabouts these years. I found my long-lost daughter."
Chen Rui sneered inwardly, he couldn't see that Azgallo had this kind of talent for acting, he was Ji Ya's father, but to Azgallo, family affection was not much thicker than a piece of paper. If necessary, he can kill his own daughter without hesitation. Fatilu is the best example.
"So that's the case, but no matter what Ji Ya was like before, she is now a servant given to me by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Even if you are her father, I will not let her go."
Chen Rui bit the word "servant" on purpose, and deliberately opened the real distance between Ji Ya and him, emphasizing the relationship between superiority and inferiority - this is his bottom line, he can play tricks and tricks with Xue Yan, but he will never let Ji Ya Venture back into the hands of Azgalor.
"Your Excellency misunderstood, it is better for Jiya to be here than to wander around with me, and I still need to ask you to take care of me in the future." Azgalo smiled and said: "I came here today because I came to meet Jiya. Secondly, there is a huge benefit that should be given to the financial officer."
"Benefits?" Chen Rui knew that Xirou was coming, and frowned at Ji Ya, who understood, and deliberately nodded affirmatively to him in front of Azgalo.
Chen Rui looked at Azgallo for a few times, and finally nodded: "Your Excellency, please sit down."
Azgalo winked at Ji Ya, and Ji Ya said: "Master, I came out of Princess Square temporarily, there are still many things that cannot be separated from the little princess, you and father can talk here, we Take your leave first."
Chen Rui nodded, thought for a while, and asked everyone in the office to retreat, leaving only himself and Azgalo.
Azgallo used Ji Ya's line to find him, and there should be no malicious intentions for the time being, otherwise, with the strength of the peak devil emperor, if he directly attacked in secret, even Chen Rui, whose real strength has reached the level of the devil emperor Can't resist.
"Your Excellency Gallo, there are no outsiders now, so you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."
"Before that, I would like to take the liberty to ask, is your lord from the human world?"
Chen Rui shrugged: "Yes, as we all know, I am a human being, but as far as I know, I am not the only human being in the Demon Realm."
"Your Excellency misunderstood, whether it is the human world or the demon world, talented people are the real strong." Azgalo said with a smile, "Master Chen Rui is definitely the most important reason why Dark Moon's economy has such a brilliant situation today." The revolutionary factor, just an auction house, is to create a precedent."
This is not a secret. Many innovations of Dark Moon are unprecedented in the demon world. Many people attribute this to humans. This should be the real reason why Shia reuses humans so much.
Weak in strength, extraordinary intellect, especially in economics, this is the evaluation of human financial officials by the outside world.
Capable but lacking in strength, there is no need to worry about rebellion. Such a person is the most ideal candidate for a subordinate. So even Zhuoqie publicly expressed his intention to solicit Chen Rui during the battle in the wilderness of Leith Town.
"Actually, I just copied some things from the surface world." Chen Rui shook his head lightly, "It's not really a talent, but to be appreciated by the eldest princess and get the current status is already very satisfying."
"My lord is too modest." Azgalo took a deep look at him, and suddenly asked calmly, "My lord, have you never thought about making a further step forward?"
Chen Rui frowned: Is this solicitation
Azgalo came to Dark Moon himself, and appeared as Ji Ya's father, with the purpose of poaching? This is too much to think highly of him as a "mere" human being!
This father-in-law is not General George. Since he is here this time, no matter what, he must try to "entertain" him well.
