"Your Excellency Jia Luo." Chen Rui frowned: "I ask myself if I am not an idiot, but I still don't understand the meaning of this sentence."
Azgalo still had a smile on his face: "With the talent of an adult, he is enough to be the finance minister of an empire, but the current finance officer is overqualified."
"I'm just a weak 'foreigner'. Besides, the current financial officer is already a rare high position. Could it be that I can still be a lord?"
Azgallo showed a mysterious look: "There is a saying in our demon world that nothing is impossible. The Lord is not impossible, as long as the adults think about it."
"I've also heard an old saying in the demon world, there is nothing that you can get for nothing." Chen Rui asked intentionally: "So... which empire does Your Excellency Gallo represent? What is the purpose of coming to Dark Moon?"
"My purpose is closely related to Master Chen Rui's needs. As big as your heart is, the conditions I can give you are as wide as possible."
Judging from Azgallo's tone, do you really want to recruit him? Or use him as a finance officer to subvert Dark Moon? Chen Rui always felt something was wrong—in the field battle in Leith Town, he showed the fearless spirit of defending Xiya to the death, and he must not "betray" easily now. Besides, Chen Rui's identity involved too much, he was no better than the "Arthur" master who could put oil on his feet at any time, so Infernal Affairs was not considered for the time being.
"If you weren't Ji Ya's father, you might have been imprisoned by now." Chen Rui stood up and said lightly: "Since you are Ji Ya's father, I will make it clear that it is impossible for me to betray the boss. Princess. I am self-aware of my ability and identity. I am definitely not expected to be a lord or a finance minister. The current finance officer is the most suitable position for me and can allow me to display my true talents. If you come, just In order to solicit without results, then you can return now, and for the sake of Ji Ya's usual service, I can let you leave Dark Moon safely."
Although he said so, Chen Rui was still a little nervous. After all, the other party was the peak devil emperor. Once he turned his face, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he just wanted to take Ji Ya away, no one in An Yue could stop him.
Azgalo stared at Chen Rui for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. After a while, he changed into a satisfied look: "That's right! Whether it's human beings or demons, the most rare thing is self-knowledge. Lord Chen Rui is indeed a A persistent and wise person. I can rest assured that Ji Ya will stay by your side."
Chen Rui showed doubts, but he was relieved. At least it would be a gain for Ji Ya to stay by his side as an "undercover agent" for a long time.
Although it has broken through to five-star evolution, there is still a considerable gap from the devil emperor, especially the strongest peak devil emperor.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and his will became stronger.
Power still requires stronger power! Protect everyone who is dear to you!
"I was so rude just now. Even if this small gift is an apology, it can also be regarded as gratitude to Master Chen Rui for taking care of Ji Ya. Please continue to take care of Ji Ya in the future." Azgalo said, and handed over a space ring.
Chen Rui pondered for a while, and took it over. Inside was a large amount of black crystal coins and a magic bracelet.
"That bracelet is a quasi-legendary magic equipment, which can automatically release protective magic and teleportation magic. I'm rude to say that Mr. Chen Rui's strength is a weakness. You must pay attention to your own safety. If I have malicious intentions today, It’s dangerous for adults.” Azgalo pretended to be frank and said that the role of this quasi-legendary equipment actually has a certain limit, but for human finance officers, it can be said to be tailor-made and very practical.
"Your Excellency Jia Luo, don't go around in circles anymore," Chen Rui didn't refuse, and after receiving the gift, he said in a more polite tone: "Although I don't have much power, I can tell with my eyes that Your Excellency is definitely not an idle person, what's the matter?" Please speak up."
Azgalo nodded: "Master Chen Rui is a smart person. You should know that although Dark Moon has defeated Chi You and Lan Rong, and the economy and military are developing rapidly, it does not mean that they are far away from the crisis. On the contrary, Dark Moon The hidden power of the Fallen Angel Empire has been exposed to the eyes and ears of the Fallen Angel Empire. At present, it is only a short period of tranquility before the storm. The strength of the Fallen Angel Empire is by no means comparable to that of the two major territories. The Regent of Obsidian alone is the pinnacle Devil Emperor, the situation of Dark Moon at that time..."
"What does this have to do with today's Your Excellency's intentions?"
"My real identity is the vice president of the Red Leaf Merchant Association of the Blood Annihilation Empire, and the controller behind the Red Leaf Merchant is His Royal Highness Aleus, the great prince of the Blood Annihilation Empire. I came here at the order of His Highness Aleus. See Her Royal Highness Princess Dark Moon, and discuss the cooperation between Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and Dark Moon. For those who have the hope of inheriting the bloody throne, if An Yue can become a partner of the Red Leaf Merchant Guild, then even Prince Black Yao must be cautious and absolutely dare not act rashly."
Hearing what Azgallo said, Chen Rui thought quickly, the so-called Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is very likely to be the power of Xueyan, then the great prince of the Blood Fiend Empire, Aleus, is actually a person of Xueyan's power! Could it be that the real mastermind of Blood Annihilation is Achilles? Or is it even higher... Emperor Lei Chan
Perhaps only the most powerful person in the demon world can control people like Crystal Dragon and Azgalor to use the Blood Annihilation Organization to pull off such a trick similar to peaceful evolution when the Three Kingdoms signed a truce
Chen Rui felt something was wrong in his heart. People like Azgallo and Manu had big hearts. It was obvious that they wanted to restore the lost glory of the royal family. "Blood Annihilation" gave him more of an impression that they wanted to subvert The existing forces in the Demon Realm are re-establishing a political organization, so Lei Chan aside, if Aleus is really the leader of Xueyan, then his purpose is... Could it be that he wants to bring down his father
In any case, when Azgalo came here, his eyes on behalf of Blood Annihilation had fallen on the rising Dark Moon, and he wanted to take advantage of the current crisis that Dark Moon was facing and Xiya's mentality of resetting, and bring Dark Moon into Blood Annihilation in the strength. Then, using the identity of Princess Xiya, she subverted and controlled the entire Fallen Angel Empire step by step.
The previous win over of him as a financial officer was just throwing stones to ask for directions.
Seeing Chen Rui's deep thought, Azgalo only knew that the other party was already moved. He didn't know that this insignificant human being was the culprit who destroyed his foundation, the Crystal Valley, and he already knew his identity and true purpose.
"Your Excellency Jia Luo's identity surprised me," Chen Rui finally said, "If it's just a business cooperation, I can make a decision right now... But this matter must be reported to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess before I can give you an answer. It will be up to His Highness the Eldest Princess to decide whether or not to see you at that time. Today, His Highness seems to be practicing behind closed doors without seeing any outsiders. Could you invite Your Excellency Jia Luo to stay in Dark Moon for a few days? Then I will introduce you to meet the Eldest Princess."
With Azgalo's strength, if he really wants to see Xia, even if he does not have it in every possible way, it is better to use the strategy of delaying the attack and delay the time.
"Of course." Azgalo nodded in satisfaction, and handed over another interspatial ring, "The previous small gift represented my personal thanks to Sir for taking care of Ji Ya, so this gift represents the Red Leaf Merchant's respect for Sir." A thank you gift for the introduction. This cooperation is extremely huge for the interests of both parties. Your lord's right to speak in front of the eldest princess is quite important, and once the cooperation is successful, there will be great gifts in return."
There are ten times as many black crystal coins in this space ring, Xue Yan's move is really generous. Chen Rui was not polite, accepted the ring, and rolled his eyes: "Well, I will go to the palace now to see if His Highness Xi Ya has completed his cultivation. If he has not, then please wait a day or two."
"No problem, thank you so much, sir." The smile on Azgalo's face grew stronger, he told the hotel he was staying in, and got up to leave.
Chen Rui sent Azgalo to the door and quickly walked towards the palace.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the outer courtyard of the palace, he saw Kaguli walking out. After the lord war, Dark Moon made some adjustments to his internal duties. Because of his outstanding performance in the field battle in Leith Town, Kaguli was named the deputy commander of the Red Blood Guards, responsible for guarding the palace. His brother Kagulong's key Focus on recruiting and training new troops. As for Alice in Princess Square, not only Ji Ya is there, but also the magic circle and props carefully designed by Chen Rui. Delia's dark magic members are also paying attention and protecting her at all times, and the safety factor is much higher than before.
Kaguli and Chen Rui are old acquaintances. When they saw him coming, they froze for a while, called him aside, and said in a low voice: "Master Chen Rui, what a coincidence that you came. Your Highness the Princess just wanted to summon you. Now Your Highness is meeting with two important distinguished guests in the conference hall, please go there quickly."
Chen Rui looked at Kaguli's mysterious and cautious appearance, nodded, and walked all the way into the meeting hall, and found that there were no guards around the meeting hall. It seems that the origins of these two distinguished guests are not simple, because Xue Yan had already come to Chen Rui just now, and he also agreed, he would definitely not meet Xi Ya directly so soon, otherwise he would not use Ji Ya to catch up He's on this line.
Chen Rui walked all the way into the conference hall, and saw Xi Ya talking with the two of them.
These two people are both women, with a moving figure. The one in the blue robe sits opposite Xi Ya, and there is a woman in black standing behind her. Both women's faces are covered with veils.
This attire is familiar to Chen Rui, it seems to be the usual dress for women in the Shadow Empire.
A hint immediately appeared in the analytical eye:
The race of the woman in the blue robe is the royal family of desire, and her overall strength has reached A- (A-), the first stage of the Demon Emperor.
Sure enough, it was the Asmodeus royal family of the Shadow Empire, and it seemed that Dark Moon was a meeting of the wind and clouds this time.
What really surprised Chen Rui was the woman in black who looked like a bodyguard behind her.
Race: Desire royal family.
Comprehensive strength evaluation: A (S+).
Constitution A (S+), strength A (S+), spirit A (S+), and agility A (S+).
Analysis: None.
This unremarkable black-clothed woman turned out to be the peak Demon Emperor!
Today in the dark moon, I actually saw two strongest peak devil emperors in a row!
Chen Rui suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. How many peak demon emperors are there in the Asmodeus royal family? How many are women
The woman in black seemed to be keenly aware of this subtle emotion, and when she glanced at him, Chen Rui inexplicably felt a strange feeling in her heart, which seemed somewhat familiar.
illusion
impossible!
The woman in black also had some doubts in her eyes, she stared at him for a moment, then looked away again.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and bowed to Xi Ya: "Your Royal Highness, I have something important to report, but I met Lord Kaguli at the door, and I just learned that His Highness has summoned you."
When there are outsiders, Chen Rui is naturally full of etiquette, Xi Ya nodded: "No wonder you came so fast, I will report something later, I came to meet two distinguished guests. This is the lady Lilith , the one behind is the leader of Isis, and the two ladies are both members of the Asmodeus royal family of the Shadow Empire."
Isis? very strange name.
Chen Rui had already calmed down, and bowed to the two women: "Dark Moon Magistrate Chen Rui, I have seen two distinguished ladies."
Li Lisi said: "I have heard the name of Lord Chen Rui for a long time, and today I saw him with extraordinary demeanor. Just now, I happened to talk about the deeds of the Lord with His Highness Xi Ya. The dark moon can take off today, and Lord Chen Rui can be said to be credited." Great."
Chen Rui hurriedly said a few words of humility, walked over, and stood behind Xi Ya.
Lilith said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness Shia, I came to Dark Moon this time because I was entrusted by His Majesty Catherine, hoping to establish a close cooperative relationship with Dark Moon."
Chen Rui's heart twitched, could it be that the empress also wanted to annihilate that with blood? Support Shia quietly, use peaceful evolution to subvert and control the Fallen Angel Empire? With Catherine's wisdom, such a strategy is not impossible.
When Xia Ya heard Catherine's name, a glint of light flashed in her eyes: "I would like to hear more about it."
"The cooperation between my shadow empire and the dark moon has actually started long ago. The Custer family and the dark moon have established a joint chamber of commerce, and Princess Square has opened a branch in the shadow capital. Yue has established night markets, auction houses and other facilities. Her Majesty the Empress is very interested in the battle ball and Dark Moon's latest magical soil improvement technology, and hopes to establish an informal cooperative relationship with Dark Moon."
There are also many barren and backward territories in the Shadow Empire. Catherine obviously wants to introduce soil improvement technology through this cooperation to make the country stronger. Fighting balls can enhance physical fitness and are highly entertaining. People have long imitated them in various places, but that kind of ball is very special. It seems to be made of dozens of top-quality materials and cannot be imitated. So it hasn't become popular yet.
Perhaps that Empress also has the ambition to fight for hegemony. Judging from the current strategy for Dark Moon, Catherine and Blood Annihilation are still two different concepts. One is a conspiracy to strengthen oneself, and the other is a conspiracy to subvert the other party.
Xi Ya was silent, and Chen Rui spoke: "Miss Lilith, please forgive me for asking, what benefits can the so-called 'informal' cooperation of Your Majesty the Empress bring to Dark Moon?"
As Azgallo said, the current situation of Dark Moon is indeed not optimistic. Apart from Obsidian, there is also Bloody Annihilation. opportunity.
