When he woke up, it was already noon of the next day. Chen Rui felt that his mental strength had recovered by about 30%, and he drank another bottle of the spirit recovery potion he had exchanged. Although I figured out the mystery of in-depth analysis last night, I paid a certain price for being eager for success. Mental power is not only the driving force for casting magic, but also the source of will and induction. In the case of insufficient mental power, forced training will be counterproductive, so Chen Rui plans to wait until he fully recovers before starting to practice.
He once tried to enter the ordinary training ground with the time rule, but the time rule was not effective for the recovery of mental power in this situation, so he had to retreat again, wasting two thousand spiritual energy in vain, it seems that the only way to recover is by medicine and sleep . In-depth analysis is indeed powerful, but in the future this skill must be judged and used with caution.
It is estimated that it will take another two days before the mental power can be fully recovered. In terms of time, it can be supplemented by the rules of the training ground, but now it seems that a lot of spiritual energy is still needed. At that time, drinking the black potion was a bit impulsive, but facing the drinking of the potion, it would be too late. The temptation to increase permanent strength, and to be able to leave 120,000 spiritual energy, is not bad.
Including the truth that was exchanged for Ardas. The 20,000 spiritual energy consumed by the powerful potion and the in-depth analysis last night, now there are only 90,000 spiritual energy left. Reiki is like money, it comes and goes quickly, but between this coming and going, what grows is one's own strength, there is nothing to regret.
The black potion and the Eternal Body and Eternal Mind have not been exchanged. The budget is 200,000 auras. Eight times the gravity, ten times the time rule, or even a hundred times the time rule requires more auras. I got 160,000 black crystal coins from Silva last time, and now there are still about 80,000 left, but the aura materials on the market today have been searched by the old goblin a while ago, so there should not be much left .
However, Chen Rui had an idea long ago, otherwise he would not have rashly exchanged for the black potion.
That is Xilang Mountain. For ordinary people, the "waste mine" of Xilang Mountain is a discarded item that cannot be used; for Chen Rui, it is a source of spiritual energy that is urgently needed, and there are a lot of it! According to the data, this kind of waste mine appeared four hundred years ago, and it is likely to be produced by some kind of special "pollution" by underground monsters. That is to say, there are "waste mines" accumulated for hundreds of years in Xilang Mountain. , even if a piece can only provide double-digit spiritual energy, it is far inferior to magic materials in terms of "quality", but it is quite a terrifying statistic in terms of "quantity".
The twins who are always accompanied by danger and opportunity, Chen Rui decided to go to Mount Xilang before the duel with Araux, but before that, he had to get a map, otherwise he would fly around like headless chickens , even if there is a Wyvern, it is a waste of time.
Just as Chen Rui was thinking, the little evil knocked on the door: "Master, are you there?"
Under normal circumstances, Sli would not interrupt rashly. Chen Rui got up and opened the door: "What's the matter, Sli."
"His Royal Highness, please go to the meeting hall."
Chen Rui knew that Xi Ya would not interrupt his "Inheritance Trial" for no reason, there must be something important, and now that his mental power has not recovered, he is not suitable for cultivation, so he rushed to the conference hall immediately.
In the conference hall, apart from Xi Ya, there is also a beautiful figure that Chen Rui hasn't seen for a long time. Counting the time in the training ground, it has been several months. To be honest, I still miss it a little, especially in the life and death When the critical breakthrough was made, this figure was one of the reasons that inspired him to explode.
"Chen Rui!" A familiar voice sounded, with a bit of surprise, familiar short purple hair, familiar red eyes, but the blush that had always been bold on his face appeared a little strange.
"Athena!" Chen Rui was also very happy, "Have you fully adapted to the high-level power?"
"En! But now it can only be regarded as barely reaching the early stage of advanced stage, and it will become more and more difficult in the future." Athena nodded vigorously, stared at him for a moment, and the excitement on her face suddenly turned into worry, "What's wrong with you?" ? Are you feeling unwell? Have you taken any medication?"
Due to the in-depth analysis of the relationship between the sequelae, Chen Rui's current mental state is very bad, and Athena can tell at a glance.
"Yes, there is a little problem, but it's not a big problem, just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
Feeling Athena's undisguised concern, Chen Rui's heart became hot, and Xi Ya also said: "In terms of missions, don't force yourself, and the cloak meeting you mentioned last time has become a forbidden One of the guard reserves."
"I understand, princess."
Chen Rui heard that the first half of Xi Ya's sentence was a veiled concern, and it was about the "inheritance test". Although she looked very cold in front of Athena, it was quite useful in her heart. The second half of the sentence shows Xiya's attitude on the matter of "Agulie", and undoubtedly agrees with Chen Rui's trust in Agulie.
But if it was just about Athena and the Cloak Club, Xi Ya would not have specially summoned him to the meeting room, and would just wait for her next words.
"Tomorrow morning is the time for the quarterly meeting, and you have to come to attend."
regular meeting? I seem to have heard Royce say that it is rare to have two days off, but you have to work overtime, and I don’t know if you can get employee benefits...
"Originally I didn't want you to attend this regular meeting, but Joseph and representatives of several families wanted to meet you, the new secretary, by name, so it's hard to refuse. This kind of request is logically normal, but Joseph won't No aim, in the regular meeting, beware of him using your human identity to make a fuss. If it doesn't work, you can resign from the post of clerk."
It was only then that Chen Rui realized that it was Smiling Tiger who was playing tricks behind his back again, and he definitely had no good intentions. It seems that it is better to be careful in tomorrow's regular meeting. But just like what Xi Ya said, if it’s not possible, then don’t be the scribe, and if you don’t want to be strong, don’t give Joseph a chance to make use of it. Isia trusted him, so he did what he should do.
Seeing him nodding in understanding, Xi Ya knew that Chen Rui already knew it, so she didn't say much, and put a space bracelet on the table: "This is the top-quality rattan stone that Joseph brought back from the Chiyou territory, Alice told me However, she has already promised to give you the six yuan, so the one hundred yuan and this space bracelet are all yours."
One hundred dollars! Not sixty-six yuan
Chen Rui showed a look of surprise, and almost imitated the old goblin by saying, "The eldest princess's generosity is comparable to the double moons in the devil world", but he knew that Xi Ya didn't like to hear such empty words, so he simply said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
That space bracelet is just tasteless to Chen Rui, who is carrying a storage warehouse, and he has already seized Silva's space ring, not to mention that after entering the evil realm, the capacity of the storage warehouse has expanded a lot. Now More space, less things. However, storage space equipment is relatively rare equipment in the devil world. This is also the wish of the beautiful boss, so of course you have to accept it.
Xi Ya nodded slightly, looked at Chen Rui, then looked at Athena, suddenly lowered her eyelids, set her eyes on the copy in her hand, and said without raising her head: "Athena just finished her practice, I haven't seen Alice yet. Go to Princess Square, I believe Alice will be very happy to see you."
Athena also wanted to see Alice, and left the palace with Chen Rui.
"Chen Rui, didn't the eldest princess assign you a task for two months? How did you go?"
"There is still half left," Chen Rui thought of one thing, "By the way, Athena, have you been to Xilang Mountain?"
"En! In the first year I first came to Dark Moon, I went to practice in that area," Athena nodded, "It's just that the thieves hadn't started to harass the mine at that time."
"So... how long will it take to get there if you ride a wyvern?" Chen Rui asked in a low voice when he saw that there were few people nearby.
"Do you want to train long-distance beast-riding flight?" Athena's eyes lit up.
Chen Rui naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and asked following her conjecture: "Actually, this is just a hypothesis, can you answer me?"
Athena blinked her eyes, and replied: "Although the flying ability of the Wyvern is strong, it also has limits. On the way, you must choose a place to rest, feed the Wyvern, and then choose a safe place to sleep at night. You go alone If you have a map, it may take about six days. So, if you decide to do this kind of training, if you have an experienced guide, the time can be cut in half at least."
After all, Athena is not that kind of old fox. The eager expression on her pretty face has written the words "I am the guide". It's less than a month to fight Araux, and the time is really tight. Is it possible that you really want to take this guide with you
Just as they were talking, the two had arrived at Princess Square, and they saw customers coming out one after another, and they kept looking back, as if something happened in the store.
Chen Rui and Athena went in and saw that there were only succubi and little demons left on the first floor. Kaguli, who was in charge of "security", had disappeared, and a group of people were blocking the stairway on the second floor. The two quickly approached.
"Athena!"
A greeting at the entrance of the second floor made Athena frowned, and her good mood suddenly turned into a bad mood. When everyone heard it, they all moved out of the way.
The voice was none other than one of Athena's most hated people, the sheriff and guard general Allen. Caron.
"It turned out to be Athena, as well as our Dark Moon's new secretary, His Excellency Chen Rui."
Another voice of hiding a knife in a smile also sounded, which also made Chen Rui feel uncomfortable, but he still bowed slightly politely: "Master Joseph."
It turned out that the confronting parties were Joseph and Alan. Joseph was still smiling, but Royce and Vasasa behind him showed strong hostility towards Alan and his group.
Although Alan has more subordinates, none of them are high-level demons. Under the oppression of that momentum, they seem to cringe, with a taste of swollen face and fat. The main reason is that Salado, the strongest high-level demon of the Calon family, and Araux were both injured, and Mikas died again. Allen couldn't find a strong man who could hold the scene, so he could only rely on numbers people.
"Your Excellency the Registrar seems to be unwell?" Joseph saw that Chen Rui was in low spirits, and asked with concern.
Chen Rui knew that this guy was a weasel giving chickens New Year's greetings, so he replied: "I'm making you laugh. I have been in poor health since I was a child. I have been seriously ill recently, and I haven't come out to do many activities."
Joseph glanced at Athena, showing a meaningful smile: "It turns out that's the case, no wonder even the genius girls of our great demon clan have hardly shown themselves recently."
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Rui only felt two fire-breathing eyes fell on his face, it was Alan, Chen Rui was already used to such eyes and completely ignored them. It's just that Joseph transferred Alan's anger to Chen Rui with one sentence, and his intentions were indeed sinister.
"Athena! Is your practice finally over?" The two groups of people were separated, and Alice's surprised voice sounded.
This time, everyone is here.
