No matter how close the cooperation between countries is, it is ultimately based on interests. One day they may be close partners, but tomorrow they may be stabbed in the back. This is politics.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan was a very typical example. Sometimes he united Shu to resist Cao, and sometimes attacked Shu and surrendered Cao. He repeated several times, but he was also a generation of heroes.
Chen Rui frowned: "Three hundred is too little, by the way, you just said that you can get them by exchanging plants?"
Celine nodded: "This is ordered by Her Majesty the Queen. There are only two rare fruits that can be exchanged for seeds. One is the magic durian fruit, which is extremely rare in the devil world, and the other is the nine-day mysterious spirit fruit... This kind of fruit has never been used before. heard about it."
Chen Rui was startled, these two kinds of fruits
The magic pomegranate fruit is indeed a rare thing, especially it has a special bonus effect on the Nirvana talent of the Asmodeus royal family, and greatly reduces the danger. When Queen Catherine heard that the magic pomegranate fruit was ripe in Leia Town, she did not hesitate to incarnate Christina comes.
As for the Nine Heavens Xuan Lingguo, it is a spirit fruit at all. This name was used by Chen Rui to fool Catherine. Compared with the magic durian fruit, the spiritual fruit has a stronger bonus to Nirvana, but it does not have the suppression of lust like the magic durian fruit This is also the main reason why Chen Rui was reversed by Catherine in Youye Wetland at that time.
Catherine specifically asked Celine to exchange the seeds for the magic durian fruit or spiritual fruit, apparently for Nirvana. Nirvana is actually the strongest blood talent of the Asmodeus royal family. Every time Nirvana is passed, the strength will increase greatly, but the accompanying danger and chance of failure will also increase exponentially. One mistake will be death without a whole body .
The higher the level of nirvana, the greater the risk. Even if there are magic pomegranate fruit or spiritual fruit, it is still quite dangerous. In the history of the Asmodeus royal family, only one person has completed five nirvana, and there are a few geniuses who have completed four nirvana. It was the fifth time the adventure hit, and all of them were reduced to ashes under the flames of Nirvana.
Catherine has now completed Nirvana four times, and her strength is directly catching up with the number one powerhouse, Lei Chan. It stands to reason that she should not take this risk. It is likely that some geniuses of the royal family need Nirvana to increase their strength, or use it as a reserve.
Speaking of spirit fruit and magic durian fruit, there are piles of them in Chen Rui's place, and it is not a problem to exchange them for seeds, but now, he has a vague premonition in his heart that Catherine set up the plant trade fair near the dark moon. In Leia Town, apart from the advantages of geographical location and popularity, it seems that there is also the intention to "catch" the magic durian fruit, but, how does she calculate that she can "catch" the target here
Maybe it's just an illusion, but no matter what you say, you can get what you want. Chen Rui thought for a while, took out a small part of the magic durian fruit, and handed it to Celine. Celine didn't expect that he really had the magic durian fruit, and there were as many as thirty of them, so she immediately took out a special one. The magical space box was carefully placed in it. The magic durian fruit will dry up shortly after being picked, and this kind of special space equipment must be used to bloom, but I don't know what method the "master" used to "change" the magic durian fruit out of thin air, which seems quite Fresh.
The quantity of these magic pomegranates has exceeded the expected task. Not only can they be handed over, but they can also be praised by Emperor Catherine. Celine was overjoyed. After asking about the number of seeds, she replied: "There will be no problem. The master wants more seeds, and it will take about a day to prepare. What else does the master want?"
"do not have much left."
"By the way, that lady just now... Does the master like young girls?" Celine thought of the behavior of the little loli just now, and said flatteringly: "I can arrange everything for the master. You can... come and serve the master yourself."
Like young girls? These words actually made Chen Rui quite depressed, and somehow he was labeled as a strange uncle.
"No."
Although this Celine is not very old, her appearance and figure are very attractive, but her scheming is still higher than that of those old foxes. Using the master-servant contract to control her is nothing more than sexual interest.
Celine bit her lip and said, "Master, I have another piece of information here, which is related to Monroe, the son of the third general, and Fenny, the daughter of Rummenigge, the master craftsman of the royal family."
Chen Rui was excited. Xi Ya had mentioned that the army of thousands of magicians promised by the lord of the Bloodbuds, General Kafu, was already in place, but Monroe, who was going to join the Flame Legion, had never appeared, and immediately signaled Celine to continue.
According to Celine's information, some time ago, the First General Bai Luo took his father-in-law and his wife to Fortress Jergal, which was guarded by the Blade Corps, on the grounds that his father-in-law Frentz was unwell. Shortly thereafter, Emperor Catherine the Great proposed to join the Master of Craftsman Rummenigge's daughter Fenny. Asmodeus was betrothed to First General Bai Luo as a concubine.
Bai Luo claimed to have a deep relationship with his wife Medilu, and declined the emperor's offer of marriage, but on behalf of Luo Ji, a capable general under his command, he proposed to Emperor Catherine to marry Fei Ni as his wife.
Emperor Catherine agreed to Bai Luo's request, and Luo Ji went to the imperial capital to marry Fei Ni. However, at this time, an accident happened. Monroe, the son of the third general Cafu, and Fei Ni disappeared at the same time. The two were childhood sweethearts. It is estimated that they eloped for love. Before the news spread, Catherine ordered to block it.
Only then did Chen Rui know the real reason why Monroe hadn't come to Dark Moon to report. Catherine's restrictions on Bai Luo became stronger and stronger, mainly aimed at Bai Luo's power and influence in the army. Luo has become a loner, so it is not difficult to kill Bai Luo.
Bai Luo is obviously also aware of the crisis. Moving Flenz's father and daughter to Fortress Jerg has a special meaning. Since he was hit hard by Hei Yao last time, he doesn't know what happened to Bai Luo's situation, but Chen What Rui can be sure of is that Catherine's betrothing Fei Ni to Bai Luo must be a temptation, and Bai Luo's marriage proposal on behalf of Luo Ji is also a ploy to find another way, but no matter what the result is, Fei Ni is a victim.
As a royal family, sometimes you can't control your own destiny even more than ordinary people.
Chen Rui was very clear about Monroe's feelings for Fei Ni, but he didn't expect to make such a move recklessly, and Chen Rui was really surprised by Celine's next sentence: "Monro and Fei Ni, just In Leia Town!"
"how do you know?"
"They mixed into my caravan on the way, and I accidentally discovered them. I thought they would go to Dark Moon when they came to Leia Town, but they never left." Celine hesitated and added: " In addition to Monroe and Fei Ni, there seem to be two other people who are very powerful. I am not sure if I am noticed by them... "
"Are you afraid that if they don't leave, you will be dragged down or even silenced?" Chen Rui said lightly, "So you want to use my power to help you get rid of the threat?"
Chen Rui still has some understanding of Celine's temperament. If Monroe hadn't brought two threatening strong men, Celine might have sent someone to capture Monroe and Fei Ni to show his merits to the imperial capital.
"I'm just asking Master for help," Celine said pitifully, "I'm willing to pay any price."
Chen Rui understood a little bit why Celine offered to sacrifice herself earlier, and it really was a purposeful "want to take before giving", and she did not hesitate to use her body as a bargaining chip.
"I currently need some materials for making utensils," Chen Rui handed over a list, "No matter what method you use, within three days, I will see these things appear before my eyes."
Celine took the list and looked at it. There were various materials on it. The Custer family was born in a tool maker, so they are naturally experts in this. Some materials are scarce. It may be very difficult to get them in place in three days, but Celine But he was relieved, because it meant that the master had already planned to make a move.
What Chen Rui gave to Celine was all the missing materials for the artifact Mystic Shadow except the Soil of Wo Yuan, mainly because it was not convenient for Master Arthur to show up now, otherwise it would not be too difficult to obtain these materials if he went to the Shadow Artisan Alliance. Chen Rui always remembers that the fifth floor of the Ancient Magic Tower of the Shadow Artisan Alliance still has unsolved mysteries, which may involve some kind of taboo level, but just like the secrets of the silver box and the abyss, we can't go there now. When not exploring such unknown things, one should strengthen one's own strength as soon as possible.
The characteristics of the levels of practitioners are that the stronger they are, the harder it is to improve. At low levels, one can rely on hard work to gain strength; at middle levels, talent becomes more and more important, and those with high talents can get twice the result with half the effort; at high levels, talent and hard work alone are no longer enough. For a real qualitative change in strength, the accumulation of practice is only the basis for advancement. The most important thing is understanding and comprehension. Even if it is only a small level of progress, considerable comprehension is required.
Chen Rui is currently at this stage. After comprehending Xia Zhiyu, his strength has improved significantly. He faintly broke through the first stage of Demon Emperor and is close to the middle stage. However, the strange thing is that the experience value of Transformation Realm has not changed. It seems that the real mystery of "transformation" has not been grasped yet, and it needs to be further comprehended in life and in battle.
Celine is a very important pawn for Dark Moon, and Chen Rui doesn't want any accidents to happen to the future patriarch of the Custer family he controls. Besides, Dark Moon's mage army is Monroe's guard, so he must have To be able to schedule, this time I really have to intervene in this matter.
The most upscale Blackberry Hotel in Leia Town is where the Custer family is staying, and there are no extra guests except these distinguished guests.
In a room, four people are discussing secretly.
"Don't worry, Major General, Feynman and I watched you grow up. We are not only your guards, but also relatives. Even if we risk our lives, we will protect you and Miss Feeney from danger. It's!" It was a tall and big demon who spoke.
"Thank you, Uncle Calder." The major general is naturally Monroe, and the opposite is Fei Ni who eloped with him, and immediately nodded excitedly, but looked worriedly at the big devil sitting on the side: "Uncle Feynman The injury of... ”
The big demon named Feynman coughed a few words in a low voice: "It's okay, your Uncle Feynman is still in the middle of the Devil Emperor, and he can't die. I just didn't expect that Loki would know our whereabouts and possess the Demon Emperor Peak strength, but unfortunately, Torres... "
"It was I who killed Uncle Torres." Monroe showed grief, "This revenge must be avenged in the future."
Feynman nodded and sighed: "Major General, although the general promised to let you join the Flame Legion of the Dark Moon, but at this time you are fleeing with Miss Feeney, even if this matter is kept secret, you have already become the wanted object of the empire. The current cooperative relationship between Dark Moon and the Empire, as long as you show up, you will definitely be sent back to the Empire immediately, this time going to Dark Moon... I’m afraid it’s not a place for us to stay for a long time!”
"But staying here is also just waiting to die," Calder shook his head and said, "Currently the northern part of the empire has been completely blocked, we can go through the dark moon, and then go north from the Fallen Angel Empire to the Blood Fiend Empire, only there are the Major General and Fei Ni The safest place for Miss, the woman from the Custer family seems to have noticed where we are, just in case, when we leave, we might as well... "
Monroe shook his head: "Celine can be considered as a friend of Fenny and me, and now it's just a guess. The Custer family has a great influence in the empire. It's better not to cause troubles, so as not to attract attention."
Feynman also nodded and said: "Yes, one more thing is worse than one less thing now, and we can also use this woman's eyes and ears to pretend to go to Chiyou's territory to confuse the pursuers. Off to the Darkmoon."
Fenny asked curiously: "Since we decided to go north, why do we have to go to the dark moon? The Chiyou territory should be closer?"
Monroe explained: "Because of the murder of the former mayor of Leia Town, the entrance to Chiyou Territory is strictly checked, while the business route of Dark Moon is much looser. Although it takes a long way to go to Dark Moon, it is safer. "
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door, and they were coming towards this side. Calder and Feynman, who were the strongest, were the first to show vigilance. Soon Monroe also noticed it, and gently held Fei Ni hand, signaling her to be relieved, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Several guests, the meals you asked for are here."
Several people looked at each other and were alert. Calder slowly opened the door, and saw that the door was not a waiter, but a person wearing a cloak.
"You..." Calder seemed to be stunned, his eyes widened suddenly, and just about to make a move, the man in the cloak disappeared instantly and appeared in front of Fei Ni. Feynman's reaction was quick, and his fist appeared silently Behind the cloaked man, who would have thought that the cloaked man just feinted his shot and disappeared instantly again. This time, he landed beside Monroe and grabbed the major general's shoulder.
"stop!"
This shout made Calder and Feiman Qiqi stop their movements. It could be seen that the major general was already under the control of the other party. If he acted rashly, Monroe might be killed by the other party immediately.
The man in the cloak said, "You don't have to worry, I'm not a follower of the Shadow Empire, and I don't have any ill intentions towards Major General Monroe. This offense is just for you to calm down and listen to me."
Calder and Feynman looked at each other, and felt that although the cloaked man was only a high-level demon, but from the performance of dodging the attacks of the two and controlling Monroe like lightning, it was impossible for him to be a high-level strength. It should be "high level".
"Who are you?"
"I'm not an enemy. Speaking of which, the Major General has joined the Dark Moon Army, so I should be called Deputy Commander." The man in the cloak unexpectedly slowly loosened his fingers on Monroe's shoulder, "My The name is—Agulie."
