Although he still had doubts about Tiffany's identity in his heart, Chen Rui left Mount Serkide with satisfaction. In addition to gaining the most fertile soil, he also unexpectedly obtained a trace of demigod-level power. As for the badge, It can also play an unimaginable role at a certain time.
Satan once said that he would not care about the rise and fall of the Demon Empire. This sentence does not seem to be false, because the demigod-level powerhouse was originally a legendary existence that transcended the world, so Chen Rui should not have to worry about his gravity and elemental skills. The leakage of skills such as blessings has aroused the suspicion of interested people.
However, Chen Rui did not relax his vigilance against Satan because of the benefits he received. He faintly felt that Satan had an instinctive repulsion or disgust towards him, and under such circumstances, it must have given him such a big benefit. its far-reaching purpose.
I don't know if there is anything tricky about this bestowed power.
If you want to get what you want, since the entrance to the abyss is extremely difficult to come across, then the requirement to find it is just "by the way", and the real purpose should be something else. However, it is useless to think too much now. To put it bluntly, it is regarded as a It's just a pawn, and it's useless to escape. Before you are not qualified to become a player of that level, you can only play by ear.
In the world, everyone is just a chess piece, but the chess game is different, and he needs to return to the chess game he is playing now.
Leaving aside the benefits obtained from Serkred Mountain, this trip to the Blood Fiend Empire itself has gained a lot. First of all, he exposed Nete's true face, avenged Master Fengsaka, and then used Adelaide's death to escalate the disputes between the princes, further muddying the water of Xuesha, and at the same time blaming Xueyan, causing Xueyan to be in Thunder Zen's heavy blow suffered heavy losses. Of course, there is also the precious understanding of the basic laws obtained from the fourth floor of the library hall.
It's just that Chen Rui still feels suspicious about the little prince Terris. He failed in the night inspection and was injured by Gustav, but Gustav appeared in Terris' palace so quickly, and He also has insight into the characteristics of the magic circle in the palace, which is enough to explain certain problems in itself.
Doing the math, it has been more than two months in the Blood Fiend Empire, and it is necessary to rush back to Dark Moon as soon as possible, not only to avoid suspicious people, but also there must be a lot of things waiting to be resolved. It's a pity that the upper limit of star points is two. Due to temporary needs, both star points have been changed to the capital of the blood fiend, otherwise they will be able to return to the dark moon in the blink of an eye.
Chen Rui no longer chose to cross from the Black Iron Mountains of the Shadow Empire to the Blood Thorn Flower Territory and then detour from Leia Town to the west of the Dark Moon Territory, because that would make a big circle, and the two feet he rode on last time Feilong had already returned to Dark Moon automatically under the original order.
Chen Rui chose to go south from the capital of the Blood Fiend Emperor, and enter the territory of the Fallen Angel Empire through the Warlock Fortress of the Fallen Angel Empire, which is much faster.
After making up his mind, Chen Rui immediately used the Star Gate to return to the bloody capital. At this time, the atmosphere in the capital was tense. Not only Xueyan, but also some spies and forces from other empires were hit to varying degrees. Since Dark Demon had been notified by Chen Rui in advance, the loss was minimized. Currently, the Toolmaker Alliance is campaigning for a new president. There are two candidates with the highest voices. The first is Chen Rui's old opponent, the master of dual systems, Horford, and the other is actually Master Turia.
Turia's wife, Ma Wenna, is also a master, and she was the leader who organized the masters to settle accounts with Niete. More importantly, Turia is the former teacher of the late "genius" Richard who revealed the true face of Niete.
Horford's talent and skills are higher, but his temperament is eccentric and his popularity is poor. In contrast, Turia's popularity is much higher, so he is also the most promising candidate to become the president.
Chen Rui didn't stay in Blood Demon Emperor to watch the excitement of the campaign, and went straight south. As for the still sad Miss Belluan... Maybe "Li Cha" is just a passer-by in her life, besides "Li Cha" "It's dead, if there is a destiny, I will talk about it in the future.
Chen Rui let the dark demon get a mutated horned winged beast, and went all the way south from the capital of the Blood Fiend Emperor, and arrived at the Iron Fist territory as quickly as possible. Then he changed to a carriage, crossed the border, and headed for Warlock Fortress.
Although there is a peace agreement between the Blood Demon Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire, there are constant small frictions on the border. Fortunately, the avenue is relatively safe. Due to the recent rise of the dark moon, the business exchanges between the two countries are increasing day by day. Blood fiend merchants all enter the territory of the Fallen Angel through this road. cloud town.
Heiyun Town was the place where Athena and Lomon got acquainted at the beginning, and it was still larger than Leia Town, and soldiers from Warlock Fortress could be seen from time to time. Behind Heiyun Town is the Fallen Angel Empire's strongest barrier against the Blood Fiend Empire, Warlock Fortress, led by George, the first general of the Fallen Angel Empire. Wells guards. This time, Chen Rui not only wanted to use the fastest route to return to Dark Moon, but also wanted to pay a visit to this father-in-law.
Compared with Gia's captured "father" Azgalo, Athena's father, General George, is the authentic father-in-law. Whether it is blood or the love and concern for his daughter, he is not comparable to ordinary fathers. .
General George once visited Dark Moon to inspect his son-in-law and classmates. When he thought that Chen Rui was just a human being with a little intelligence but no power, the first general still did not object to Athena and Chen Rui's relationship. The reason is very simple. His daughter likes it. .
As the No. 1 figure in George's military, Athena, as her daughter, should have been doomed to a political marriage, but George rejected all marriage requests from all families without hesitation, even the so-called "Wells surname" The continuation of the "continuation" and other threats are unswerving, this is courage.
Chen Rui still clearly remembers that his father-in-law once said a sonorous and powerful sentence: "I will sacrifice my daughter's happiness in exchange for the family's interests? If it is reduced to this point, the surname Wells will lose its meaning of existence!" If Athena doesn’t agree, it means I don’t agree. If you don’t agree, you can come to Warlock Fortress to fight with me. One will kill one, two will kill one pair, and three will kill him. I’ll go back and destroy his whole family! So what about the black obsidian of the emperor's foundation? It annoyed me, and I turned against him like I did!"
Now it sounds like there is still an urge to take off his hat and pay tribute to the first general. With such a charismatic personality, it is no wonder that even Dulong fell in love with General George at first sight.
Chen Rui did not stay in Heiyun Town, left the caravan, and went straight to Warlock Fortress.
Warlock Fortress is a large fortress built against the mountain. The terrain is extremely dangerous and it is the only way to the Bailing territory. The fortress is not equivalent to a castle. The structure inside is extremely compact and can provide more intensive cross-fire support. The unit area can be Accommodates more soldiers and provides stronger defense capabilities. Except for a normal avenue for passage, there are no civil facilities or people in the fortress, which is more similar to a giant checkpoint, which is completely different from the layout of ancient Chinese cities to enclose residents.
The only passage is actually opened from the mountainside. On both sides are heavily guarded mountain walls and various military facilities. There are condescending, heavily armed soldiers and magic weapons. Once passers-by behave abnormally, they will be activated immediately. This long passage is actually a powerful armed cordon, and it is unknown how many forces are in ambush.
Chen Rui nodded secretly when he saw it. It is indeed one of the most powerful fortresses in the whole devil world. The soldiers' mental outlook and equipment are beyond the average army. They are not under the few elite legions of the Blood Fiend Empire. The whole fortress presents an indestructible force. With such a powerful aura, it's no wonder that his father-in-law can always occupy the position of the first general. Whether it's deploying defense or commanding troops, he has his own uniqueness.
In the command center of the central fortress in Warlock Fortress, General George is carefully watching the magic military map. This map is three-dimensional, somewhat similar to a sand table, and has more comprehensive functions than ordinary sand tables. It can even simulate offense and defense. General George's brows are tight Frowning, revealing a worried look, this kind of frown has been for several days.
A personal guard came to report: "General! There is a businessman Simon who claims to be Dark Moon, and he brought a letter from Miss Athena to you."
When General George heard the name of his beloved daughter, he became more energetic: "Where is the letter?"
The personal guard immediately handed over a letter. George knew that the letter could be delivered directly to him in this way, it must have passed an effective test, and it was confirmed that it would only be presented if there were no traps or poisons.
When I opened it, there was only one sentence in it: "Please see Your Excellency General, respectfully, the person who once gave Your Excellency General five bottles of medicine and a fruit in the dark moon."
The text of this sentence is shorter than the signature, but George's eyes lit up, and he said, "Bring this person here immediately!"
Soon, Chen Rui appeared in the command center of the central fortress. George sized him up and ordered the guards to retreat.
When the guards left, Chen Rui's face changed rapidly, returning to George's familiar human face.
"Transfiguration?" A look of surprise flashed across George's eyes, "Why didn't I feel any magical fluctuations just now?"
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "It can be said... it is a talent similar to transfiguration. We haven't seen each other for a long time, Your Excellency the General."
"It's not too long in terms of time." George said with emotion: "In terms of the events that happened, it makes people feel that time has passed. I thought I valued you enough, but unexpectedly, your ability Still above my expectations.”
Since George left the month last time, too many "changes" have taken place. The most prominent is the rise of Dark Moon, which has transformed from a declining territory controlled by the imperial capital into the largest territory with a leap in military and economic power. On the other hand, In the imperial capital, the Regent Heyao has already received doubts from many families in the entire country and the imperial capital because of the problem of "fundraising". It has established a cooperative relationship with the Shadow Empire, and it has already faintly overshadowed the imperial capital.
The outside world may have guessed that human finance officers were responsible for it, but George knew that all this was the result of his "son-in-law" planning.
Chen Rui said a few words modestly, and George asked again: "I heard that at the last auction, two assassins at the devil emperor level wanted to assassinate the blood thorn flower lord of the shadow empire, but they were captured and killed in an instant. I am now What I want to know is whether that dragon friend Pagliu has recovered his strength?"
"Yes," Chen Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Pagliu is also very impressed with Your Excellency the General. I should be able to tell Pagliu a good news when I go back this time, that is, he is far away in Wa The friends of Locke Fortress have successfully broken through to the Devil Emperor level."
George didn't expect his level of strength to be seen through by this human at a glance, and he looked at Chen Rui with a slightly strange gaze: "Is this talent...or strength?"
"As I said, I will take care of Athena for the rest of her life and prevent her from any harm. For this reason, I have to prove something to her most beloved father, and even reveal some secrets." General George is the father-in-law and also the Xi Ya's most staunch supporter, Chen Rui came here this time, in addition to visiting George, he also wanted to give him some important resources, and some things will be revealed sooner or later.
"Very good! I felt from the beginning that you are capable of taking care of Athena," George didn't ask much, but nodded in relief, "However, the daughter of my Wells family is not a vase, Athena is an independent She is a very sexual girl, and quite talented in military affairs, so she should be your good helper."
"Of course, she is now the head of the Flame Army, and she is also one of the talents Her Royal Highness the Princess most relies on." Referring to Athena, Chen Rui's words revealed undisguised love, "She is also a The best wife."
"Of course, Athena is my daughter!" Speaking of his daughter, George couldn't help but change from a general who scolded Fang Qiu to a proud father, "However, the title of wife can only be used after your formal wedding, and you can't use it anymore." Remember what I said to you before I left last time? No matter how many women you marry, Athena must be the most favored, otherwise I will... "
"This is natural!" Chen Rui didn't wait for the father-in-law to say the threat of castration, and quickly responded. Speaking of it, the father-in-law is indeed very enlightened, but it seems that there are more than ten mother-in-laws alone.
George's expression straightened: "Okay, now I have encountered a difficult headache, and I just need you, a famous capable minister in the devil world, to help me find a solution."
"Please tell me, General."
George sighed: "Some time ago, the major territories and families of the empire jointly asked the regent to raise funds. Black Yao had no choice but to adopt the method of installment repayment, which temporarily stabilized the major territories and families. Then the expenses of all parties decreased sharply, including military pay and military supplies. Now the magic circle and defense facilities of Warlock Fortress urgently need to be updated and repaired, and a large number of soldiers’ weapons and armor need to be replaced. They have deducted nearly half of it, and if this continues, not only will the morale of the army be shaken, but once the blood fiend launches a formal attack, it may be difficult to defend against."
Chen Rui has been in the Blood Fiend Empire, and he didn't know that there was such a large-scale "salary demand" incident in the Fallen Angel Empire. Hei Yao's delay is also reasonable. That went smoothly.
As for General George's problem, Chen Rui showed a confident smile. He lacked everything else, the most important thing was money.
