Two days later, Chen Rui who was lying on the bed finally opened his eyes, the first person he saw was Alice, little Lolita's big eyes glistened with tears of joy, and she rushed forward: "Brother, you Finally woke up!"
It turned out that after Chen Rui tried his best to send Monroe and others to Tim in Valan Fortress that night, he was almost unable to hold on, so he quickly activated the Star Gate and returned to Leia Town, and told Little Lolita He said he would sleep for about two days, and fell asleep.
Judging from the haggard face of the little girl, she should have been taking care of him for the past two days. Chen Rui didn't break free from her embrace, and touched her head: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This room is..."
"It was arranged by Celine. Due to the relationship of the trade fair, the hotels are full..."
Chen Rui nodded, and suddenly his stomach growled, and Alice giggled: "You haven't eaten for two days, and your stomach is protesting. I'll go out and order you something to eat."
Soon, the food came, but it was delivered by Celine herself. Little Lolita took the bowl first, brought it to Chen Rui, and... actually ignored his hard-working hands and started to feed it with a spoon.
Celine just smiled and looked at Alice's actions, with a carefree and generous appearance. The age difference between the two was only one or two years old, but Alice looked too immature in front of her, almost like a child.
The calmer Celine was, the more unconvinced little Lolita was. She kept turning her head and glanced in protest, but that feeling of displeasure was directly reflected in the frequency of handing spoons, and Chen Rui was almost stuck in her throat.
"Okay..." Chen Rui finally couldn't stand Little Lolita's Pegasus Meteor, so he grabbed the spoon and ate it by himself.
Little Lolita lost the weapon to demonstrate in front of the enemy, and raised her mouth in dissatisfaction.
Chen Rui managed to coax Alice out. Celine rolled her eyes and turned on a certain sound-proof prop. Then she stepped forward and saluted, and respectfully presented a space ring: "Master, the seeds and materials you want It's all in there."
Chen Rui took the interspatial ring, checked it with his mind, it was indeed complete, and nodded slightly.
"The master's younger sister, who calls herself 'fiancée', has been taking care of the master for the past two days, even if I send a maid to come, she refuses."
Chen Rui heard from Celine that little Lolita took care of him all day long, and his heart was warm. He only heard Celine asked carefully: "Dare to ask the master, that matter..."
"You don't have to worry about Monroe."
"Thank you, master!" Celine's eyes flashed joy, and she asked tentatively: "Has the master dealt with them? Also, is the body healed? I have a high-purity healing potion prepared by Master Angel Gillette... "
Before she could finish speaking, she felt two sharp blade-like gazes shooting into her heart. At the same time, a terrifying coercion came, and Celine felt dizzy. Immediately, she seemed to be in a furnace of purgatory, and her soul might be wiped out at any time. She was so frightened The soul flew into the sky, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master, spare your life!"
The terrifying feeling gradually disappeared, and Chen Rui's cold voice came: "Don't ask more about things you shouldn't ask, otherwise, there will be no next time, understand?"
Celine's clothes were soaked in sweat, and she quickly bowed and said, "Celine understands."
According to a certain plan in Chen Rui's mind, the Custer family will still be of great use in the future, while Celine, the heir, looks young, but has too much scheming, even if bound by the master-servant contract, he must beat it well.
"Ever heard of the name Teldira?"
Celine was stunned, and replied: "I once learned by chance that Teldira is one of Emperor Catherine's close personal guards. Her strength is unfathomable. It is said that she has reached the level of a devil emperor."
"The middle part of the devil emperor." Chen Rui corrected a sentence.
Celine is a smart person, and immediately reacted, showing a look of horror: "Did the master meet Teldira that day..."
In Celine's memory, the master of "Arthur" is the Great Demon King, how could he survive in the hands of Teldira, who is in the middle of the Demon Emperor? By the way, the strong men around Monroe, even the guards at the level of a big devil, are afraid of them, but the master has already solved this matter. Could it be the master's strength...
"Tel Dila is indeed a terrible opponent, but his golden puppet was hit by me, and the damage is not small. It will take some time to recover."
These words made Celine even more shocked: to contend with Teldira, and severely damaged the highest-ranking golden war puppet of the Asmodeus royal family!
Celine's expression was more respectful from the heart. If she was forced to become a servant at the level of a great devil, she still felt a little dissatisfied, but now a master at the level of a devil is enough for her to truly surrender.
Anyway, the master-servant contract could no longer be changed. The stronger the master, the greater the benefits to the Custer family and herself in the future.
Chen Rui felt the change in Celine's heart, and he knew that the effect had been achieved, and immediately took out another thing: "This devil fruit is given to you, whether you take it or auction it, you can dispose of it yourself."
Devil Fruit! Celine was shocked again, this is the treasure that all demons except the royal family dream of! It even triggered a war of lords. Three of them appeared in the last Dark Moon Auction, and they were sold for a sky-high price. Unexpectedly, the owner gave her a reward at will!
Celine's goal is not power, but business. Emperor Catherine once promised that as long as the collection of magic durian fruit is completed, the newly opened auction house in the imperial capital will be handed over to the Custer family.
With this devil fruit, it will be possible to hold an auction that will cause a sensation in the devil world like the dark moon. At that time, the Custer family will benefit a lot in terms of interests and status.
Celine took the Devil Fruit tremblingly, carefully stored it in the interspatial ring, and bowed sincerely, "Thank you, Master."
This is exactly the effect Chen Rui wanted. Although the method of hitting with a stick and then giving a sweet date is old, it is extremely effective.
How did Celine know that although devil fruits are treasures in the outside world, in Chen Rui's Star Garden, the number is so large that they are calculated by kilograms.
"I am temporarily lurking in the dark moon for the time being. You try to collect this part of the material, and then hand it over to me through the Custer Family United Chamber of Commerce in the dark moon. Also, if you find such map fragments in the future, you must keep them. ..." Chen Rui gave special instructions, and then motioned for her to leave. This time, Celine didn't make any more scheming requests for service, and left respectfully.
"Okay, Alice, come in." Chen Rui felt that the little Lolita was eavesdropping on the door early in the morning, but Celine had already prepared and turned on the soundproof props during the conversation, so the little Lolita's efforts were in vain of.
"Hmph! What are you guys talking about?" Little Lolita looked skeptical.
"I'm asking Miss Celine, is there any place near Leia Town where I can take my sister to have fun for a few days."
"It's the fiancée!" Little Lolita corrected a sentence solemnly. After confronting Celine, she now said this word with confidence and logic, as if she had confirmed her identity. But when she heard that she could have fun for a few days, the joy in the corners of little Lolita's eyes couldn't be concealed.
Chen Rui had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, pretending not to hear, and added: "But before that, you must have a good sleep, otherwise you won't have the strength to go out and play."
"Uh-huh!"
For the next two days, little Lolita hung around with Chen Rui all day long, smiling happily. However, the good times are coming to an end ahead of schedule. Chen Rui received an urgent notice from the Dark Demon that Sikali, the lord of Bai Ling, is about to visit. Xi Ya asked Chen Rui and Alice to rush back to Dark Moon in advance.
The Bailing territory is one of the four major territories, and the lord Sikali is from the royal family of Lucifer and was once one of Shia's admirers, at least on the surface. As a matter of fact, Sikali is the best at meeting people. On the one hand, he is close to Xi Ya in his personal capacity, and on the other hand, he supports the decision of the imperial capital and pleases the regent Black Yao. This visit is in the name of Xi Ya's birthday. This is the first voluntary visit in the past few years since Ya took over as the lord.
Needless to say, it must have something to do with the current flourishing development of Dark Moon.
Little Lolita is a little princess, and Chen Rui is a financial officer, so the etiquette is nothing more than politeness. More importantly, Xi Ya wants to recall Chen Rui to discuss matters related to Sikali.
Seeing that her "honeymoon trip" (self-proclaimed) was interrupted because of Sikali's relationship, the little loli hated her teeth so much that she scolded that Lord Bailing thousands of times in her heart, and finally followed helplessly. Chen Rui returned to Dark Moon City.
In addition to Chen Rui, Luo Ji who was a puppet returned to Dark Moon this time.
In the past few days, Loki came to Leia town in disguise. Monroe, Finney and Feynman didn't know about Loki, but they only learned from Tim that the three of them were rescued by Agulie in the fort with injuries. Those who came here are all grateful to "Agulie", and listened to Tim's suggestion, and secretly recuperated in the Valan Fortress.
From Luo Ji's mouth, Chen Rui got important information related to Bai Luo.
The last time the Fallen Angel Empire encountered "Charles" schemes, although Bai Luo narrowly escaped from Hei Yao's hands, he was seriously injured and his lower body was wiped out. Later, he found a mysterious master maker and spent countless efforts and materials. A special transformation was carried out on Bai Luo's body, turning him into a "half robot".
Half of them are people, usually props, or weapons. It is said that Luoji confessed that due to some unknown special reasons, after repairing his body, Bai Luo's strength did not retreat but advanced, and he had already surpassed the peak of the Demon Emperor and advanced to the Demon Emperor level.
Due to Queen Catherine's methods, there was a lot of turmoil in Bai Luo's Blade Legion, especially the "spiritual officer" who was in charge of ideological work, which greatly reduced Bai Luo's control over the army's morale, and at the same time shadowed the relationship within the empire. The net is also weakening step by step. In fact, this is exactly what Chen Rui and Catherine planned.
The reason why Bai Luo brought his wife and father-in-law to the Fortress of Jergal also meant that Catherine was afraid. After all, Bai Luo's father-in-law, Frentz, is Catherine's uncle. He made the first contribution in the rebellion in the imperial capital, and was once the number one figure in the military. He has a very high prestige in the army. With Franz around, it would be inconvenient for Catherine to touch Bai Luo directly.
The current situation is that Bai Luo is constantly being weakened by Catherine, but Catherine cannot launch the biggest blow in a short time. According to Luo Ji's understanding, Bai Luo will definitely not just sit and wait for death. On the surface, he has adopted forbearance and retreat, but there must be some kind of big move secretly brewing.
These are just Luoki's inferences, what the specific actions are, even if Luoji is Bai Luo's diehard loyalist, I don't know, Bai Luo will not trust anyone except himself, let alone disclose any key information.
Jergal Fortress is the strongest fortress in the Demon Realm, and its defenses are extremely strong. Currently, Bai Luo is hiding in Jergal Fortress. Although Delia and Lomon's safety can be avoided, Chen Rui has no good solution for the time being. .
However, Catherine is also dealing with Bai Luo now, let her cut off Bai Luo's minions one by one first, then it will not be too late to go to Jergal Fortress to attack and kill at the right time.
Loki's identity as a puppet has been found out by Teldira. As a pawn that may be useful in the future, it is not appropriate to return to Jergal Fortress at present, but to change his appearance and go back with Chen Rui. At the very least, the Demon Emperor's peak strength can also play some role.
Back in Dark Moon City, Xi Ya was watching the Flame Light Army martial arts competition organized by Athena, Chen Rui sent the reluctant little loli back to the palace, and temporarily arranged Loki in the Dark Moon Hotel, He returned to the house to rest.
There was no one in the house, not even Paglio and Krobelus, maybe they went to watch the martial arts competition, but even the little black horse was gone, Chen Rui felt a little strange, and suddenly gave birth to a feeling of familiarity. Suddenly, the ground collapsed into a huge pit, and Chen Rui's figure flashed beside the pit in an instant. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have fallen into the pit.
At this time, a large amount of white mist that quickly evaporated from a small puddle had enveloped him. The pervasive white mist exuded a terrifying cold air, and it was still above Loki's domain. Everything it passed was frozen into ice.
Chen Rui's figure teleported to avoid the white mist again, but before he could gain a firm foothold, various mechanisms such as ice, snow, lightning, and sharp blades were fully activated. Chen Rui tried his best to move and dodge, and finally avoided it. The grass under his feet grew more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, like a living arm, tightly wrapped around him, and the whole person became a "big" character and was suspended in the air, unable to move.
"Forgive me, Laura!" Chen Rui blurted out without hesitation. In this house, the simple environment can be turned into such a powerful mechanism, and it uses ancient runes that even he barely understands. Except for Laura, there is absolutely no way to find it. The second person.
When he came back last time, Laura kept experimenting behind closed doors until he took Alice out, but it was still not over. Now it should be "out of customs". Speaking of which, he hasn't seen the fairy Miss Long for a long time, and he is very upset. miss.
At this time, the green grass in front of him was covered with a layer of white mist, and quickly froze into the shape of a pair of scissors, which were constantly opening and closing, and moved towards between his legs, as if about to "click" something off.
Chen Rui shuddered for a while, if it was really "clicked", even if it could regenerate, it would leave an indelible psychological shadow.
"Lola, stop messing around..."
"Kacha Kacha..."
"Laura, I have something very important to tell you!"
"Kacha Kacha Kacha Kacha..."
"Dear Laura, I have the most precious gift for you!"
"Scissors" stopped suddenly, and a figure gradually became clear, with purple hair in a long skirt, a slender and attractive figure, and a pair of glasses on a perfect and delicate face. It was Miss Scientist.
However, it is obvious that the word "unhappy" hangs on Miss Scientist's face.
