Chen Rui's surprise was only fleeting, and he nodded: "It turns out that it is the most shining pearl of the Lanyao Empire, Your Royal Highness Yuelan Princess, I'm sorry."
He said that he was rude, but his tone was as flat as water, as if the most beautiful princess of the Holy Empire was no different from ordinary passers-by.
In fact, this princess's strength has already reached A+, even if she doesn't consider her appearance and status, she is considered a rare genius at her current age.
Lan Bisi was slightly startled, and then smiled wryly: "People can't choose their origins. Although members of the royal family look dignified, they are in fact like many people, just involuntary marionettes. It's just that the costumes on these puppets are more gorgeous. Just a few."
That kind of pitiful expression was particularly touching, and Chen Rui felt his heart throbbing. Fortunately, he had experienced mind-training practice, and he had a succubus maid with a talent for charm, so he was quite immune , quickly regained his composure, frowned and said: "Maybe, I don't know if the princess came to find me, what's the matter?"
Lan Bisi noticed this detail, and the expression on her face gradually returned to calm: "I don't like going around in circles either, so let's just say that I am here today with the highest sincerity, on behalf of my father, Lan Yao Da Di Ke. Valente, I invite you to join the Holy Church of the Lanyao Empire."
"The church?"
"The Holy Church is an institution founded by the thirteenth Lord Lanyao, and every member is a powerful saint-level powerhouse. The Lanyao Empire is one of the two holy empires, with strong national strength and an alliance with the elves relationship, the members of the Holy Church can use a large number of precious resources unmatched by the outside world to practice, they can read countless royal treasures, and they can learn from powerhouses at the same level... Courtesy, with power and status far superior to ordinary members of the royal family, except for Emperor Lan Yao, who is not subject to the restraint of the House. The strong in the temple can usually focus on cultivation, and only need to take action when the empire is threatened or there is an emergency. Every time there is an extra reward."
Chen Rui understood that the Lanyao Empire still had such an organization. As we all know, the Lanyao Empire is different from the Longhuang Empire. The monarchy of the Longhuang Empire is unique and the rule is quite thorough. However, the Lanyao Empire has an institution such as the House of Representatives, which has the right to veto many of the emperor's decisions, which is equivalent to taking away part of the emperor's power. There have even been precedents in history where the emperor was dismissed. Naturally, any emperor would not want to see this. arrived. The sanctuary should be a trump card in the hands of Emperor Lan Yao, even if it is only held in his hands, it can also have a powerful deterrent effect on the parliament.
For ordinary practitioners, even holy-level powerhouses, this temptation is quite big. Putting power and status aside first, it is just the resource practice of the whole country, the discussion of powerhouses of the same level, and the reading of precious classics. These conditions are hard to refuse.
It's a pity that these are all floating clouds to Chen Rui, even if Emperor Lan Yao gave him the throne, he didn't have any interest, so he immediately shook his head and said: "These conditions are quite attractive, but unfortunately, I am used to being loose and easy, and I am not used to it under human control."
Seeing that he refused so quickly, Lan Bisi was slightly surprised, but she quickly reacted and smiled slightly: "To tell you the truth, I have met many strong men, but this is the first time I have met His Excellency Richard." Such a handsome person who regards fame, fortune and power as nothing. In fact, I envy you very much. My so-called princess is a little bird trapped in a golden birdcage. I can't help myself. If I can, I really want to imagine the That lovely bird, able to find a strong arm, live a free and peaceful life... "
There seemed to be something else in Lan Bisi's words, and Chen Rui thought for a moment, but didn't answer.
"Attracting the strong is actually a task given to me by my father, as a condition for exchanging a short period of 'freedom'." Lan Bisi did not continue on the topic of "Little Bird", and sighed softly: "I don't know why, now Your Excellency I refused, but I felt a sense of relief, wondering if Your Excellency Richard would like to make friends with an ordinary assistant teacher, Lan Bisi?"
Lan Bisi's openness and sincerity made Chen Rui feel a little good, and naturally he would not reject people thousands of miles away, nodded and said: "Of course, this is my honor."
"Thank you, Li Cha, please allow me to call you that. I'm about to leave the Emerald Forest, what are your plans next? I wonder if we will have a chance to meet again?"
I guess there is no chance... Chen Rui said something in his heart, but he couldn't tell the truth: "I don't have a clear destination either. All along, I have been traveling and practicing, pursuing a stronger realm of strength."
Lan Bisi showed a thoughtful look: "So, you should have heard of the Tower of Stars in the Starlight Academy, and the Tower of Stars will be opened next year. Even for holy-level powerhouses, it is also a very good place for training and cultivation." The best way. However, only outstanding students within the academy are eligible to participate, but each teacher has an additional recommendation quota, which can be people outside the academy. This is actually a way for the academy to recruit tutors. Not going to the Lanyao Empire, but it is also extraordinary. Of course, the choice is entirely up to you. If you are interested in the Tower of Stars, you can join a small team I created called Shueisha, and fight for a place through fair competition. You can rest assured that there are no restrictions in Shueisha, only some like-minded friends. Your Excellency Richard, what do you think?"
Shueisha? This term is a bit familiar, it seems to be a publishing group of an island country in the previous life
After experiencing the ups and downs of the devil world, Chen Rui is no longer the careless nerd in his previous life, let alone the weak Arthur. He instinctively felt that this fiancée was by no means simple.
If we say that the previous method was to benefit from knowledge, now it is to move with emotion. One thing to note is that before, she was recruiting on behalf of her father, Emperor Lan Yao, but now it seems to be her...
Lan Bisi reminded Chen Rui of an acquaintance in the devil world, Celine. It's just that in comparison, Lan Bisi's wrist is much more sophisticated. From the beginning to the end, it feels like a spring breeze, and it is difficult to give birth to rejection or disgust. Unfortunately, it was useless to Chen Rui, and he gave an answer almost without thinking: "I'm not interested in the Tower of Stars. As for Shueisha, I'm sorry, but I can only live up to His Highness's kindness."
Lan Bisi showed surprise, it was the first time she had seen such a recalcitrant person, and her invincible charm against men in the past seemed useless in front of this man. It would be fine if he was just an ordinary genius, but this person not only possesses the powerful power of the peak holy level, but is also very likely to be a master of both magic circles and instrument making. Extremely rare, far more valuable than a person who only possesses force.
"I'm sorry, I was rude." Lan Bisi stood up and asked suddenly: "I'm curious, you don't pay attention to fame, fortune, power, strength, and friendship. Do you really have nothing to ask for?" ?"
"No, Your Highness made a mistake. I'm actually a very greedy person." Chen Rui shook his head and asked deliberately: "If the condition for me to join is the princess, what about you?"
"Me? This condition is a bit unexpected. Judging from my previous performance, I thought I couldn't get into your vision at all. If your condition is really like this... it's okay!"
The light in Lanbisi's eyes flickered: "My fiancé is Arthur, the second prince of the Longhuang Empire. Roland has been missing for several years, but Emperor Rex insists that he is still alive. With the approval of my father, this ridiculous political marriage is equivalent to a heavy shackle, and it is still effective today. This matter is almost well-known in the entire human world. As long as you have the power that is above the two holy empires, and even ignores all rules Power, help me break this shackle, I am your woman... Do you have this power?"
Chen Rui smiled bitterly: "If I have this kind of power, I don't need to wander around."
Lan Bisi showed a moving smile: "Then another way, if you can help me, let me have a strong strength, step by step to completely hold the key of fate in my own hands, then I will be very happy to be with such a person A man who helps each other and shares the wind and rain becomes a partner. Then, the key now lies with you, do you have the determination and courage?"
Chen Rui shook his head, ignoring Lan Bisi's expectant eyes: "I can answer you with certainty, I don't."
"Can't even love shake you? You are the most hard-hearted man I have ever seen." Lan Bisi took a deep look at Chen Rui, and sighed, "I'm sorry to bother you for so long. Farewell, I will come to visit you some other day.”
When Lan Bisi turned to leave, Chen Rui said: "Things are unpredictable, maybe one day, your fiancé will suddenly appear and break the engagement."
"So what? Even without this marriage, as a woman of the royal family, my body, marriage... Everything in the future is just a bargaining chip for political transactions, and I will always be at the mercy of others like a marionette." Lan Bisi The voice was a little low: "I just want to take my fate into my own hands."
Chen Rui was silent for a moment, and said: "I agree with your will and pursuit, but true love is not a bargaining chip, and the same is true of friendship. I don't agree with such a transaction, so I can only bless you, Your Highness Lan Bisi. "
Lan Bisi didn't look back, and said: "Recently, the eastern region is very uneasy. The Church of Light blocked several teleportation countries. All the elites of the church were dispatched to search and arrest. They also sent envoys to the Lanyao Empire to ask for assistance. I did not return to the country. But I got relevant information, especially the two names, Simon and Richard... As people with the same name, you have to be careful during this time. If you change your mind, you can come to Starlight Academy or Lanyao Empire to find me at any time. For partners, I will do my best to help."
This sentence shocked Chen Rui slightly, and he was greatly surprised. When he heard the last sentence, his eyes flickered, and he suddenly smiled: "If there is nothing else, please don't bother me again, Your Highness."
Lan Bisi clenched her fists, feeling a strong sense of frustration in her heart, and strode away without looking back.
