Chen Rui pretended to be thinking, and asked tentatively: "Does the force behind you have a candidate for the archbishop?"
"No," Villa shook her head, "The forces in the Eastern District are not under their control. I'm a hidden pawn. If I can compete for the archbishop, I may get some push, but I'm just the archbishop now." A deacon, not even a bishop, so it's impossible."
"Maybe they never appeared." Chen Rui showed a strange smile, holding an extra wine glass in his hand: "If something happens to Angelie at this time, can you justifiably become the candidate for the Archbishop?"
"You mean..." Billia's eyes lit up.
"If something unexpected happened to Angeli at this time, the first person to be suspected should not be you, but the other six candidates." Chen Rui said confidently: "You should be the least hopeful of the seven bishops when you become the new bishop. The person who becomes the archbishop is also the least eye-catching one. But anyway, you have defeated Angeli and achieved the desired goal, and in theory you are still one of the candidates for the archbishop. If you can do it in a short time With amazing achievements, combined with the help of the forces behind you, it is not impossible to become an archbishop by then."
"It's easy for you to say, but this is undoubtedly a huge adventure." After all, Billia had a deep mind and quickly calmed down.
"Risks always coexist with benefits, and you don't want to be a hidden chess piece that may be abandoned at any time."
"My pawn is not what you imagined." Billia shook his head slightly, "However, your proposal gave me another smoother road. It is undeniable that I am really moved."
"No matter what your choice is, we need to grasp the latest and most accurate movements of Angelie. I am now in a 'missing' state, which means lurking in the dark. If there is a chance, her 'accident' will be more natural and reasonable. "
Billia thought for a while, and said: "I need time to think about it, how about this, I will give you an answer after the incident with the Tower of Stars is over."
"Okay, I'm waiting for your decision. After all, we are now allies with shared interests, and we are 'intimate'." Chen Rui changed the topic: "I want to go to the Yinyue Fairy Capital in the Emerald Forest, do you have What convenient way?"
"Silver Moon Fairy Capital?" Billia frowned slightly.
"To be precise, it has something to do with my practice."
Although Chen Rui didn't explain the specific reason, Billia wisely didn't ask further. What she said earlier was correct. The two are now allies who have signed a contract. The stronger the other party is, the stronger it will be for her. Especially the proposal just now, in fact, has many overlaps with the plan in her heart, and it is bolder and more attractive.
"Speaking of Yinyue Xiandu... Vice-principal Sukrates recently got an ancient slate engraved with a magic circle. These days, he is planning to take the slate and set off with his disciples to visit the elf master Fei of Yinyue Xiandu. Noah, I'll try to see if I can recommend you, the 'teacher' who came to apply for the job, to escort them there, but Sucrates himself is a holy magician, and his students also have two strong martial arts masters, maybe not need guards..."
"You're wrong," Chen Rui took a sip of wine, "The subject I'm applying for is not combat, but magic circle."
Billia's eyes flickered: "You really surprise people...or surprise, Your Excellency Lomon."
Three days later, Chen Rui appeared on the big ship heading for the Emerald Forest at the port of Blue Star City, beside an old man with white beard and hair.
This old man is Sukrates, the vice-president of the Starlight Academy, a famous top magic circle master and a holy magician. The men and women on the back deck are disciples of Sukrates. This time, they will follow their teacher to the Silver Moon Immortal Capital in the Emerald Forest Sea to visit the legendary Elf Master Fenoa.
"Luomeng, do you think this engraving can be further improved?" Sucrates' eyes shining at the moment can't be equated with his usual solemnity. Disciples who are familiar with the vice president know that there is only one There is one thing that can make the teacher look like this, and that is the magic circle.
This "Luo Meng" is the candidate recommended by the school affairs department to apply for the magic circle teacher, and it is said that he wants to get an extra place in the Tower of Stars. Sucrates didn't think much of this person before, especially those guys in the school affairs department who only valued utilitarianism recommended him, but the ability shown by "Luo Meng" really surprised Sucrates.
In addition to having a solid magic circle foundation, "Luo Meng" also has an extraordinary talent, which is to improve the magic circle. As we all know, the magic circle needs to use magic conductors to describe or draw, and at the same time inject magic power to make it echo with free elements or natural forces and produce effects. It involves various comprehensive subjects such as magic, mathematics, astronomy, alchemy, etc., and the difficulty is evident.
Magic formations are very precise and rigorous things, and any change may cause chain changes or even destroy the entire formation. However, this "Lomon" can freely delete without destroying the original formation, further Improving the performance of the magic circle is simply incredible. The young man in front of him obviously couldn't be a quasi-grandmaster or even a grandmaster of the magic circle hundreds of years old, so Socrates believed in the reason of that "talent".
Facts have proved that people will always make some empirical mistakes unconsciously. Sucrates never dreamed that this young man is really a quasi-master of the magic circle.
"Sir Sukrates, I told you that I can only use my innate senses from the magic circle I understand and make certain modifications. Let alone this kind of magic circle, I can't understand it at all, even the talent is limited , it is impossible to display it endlessly, it will be too much here."
As he said that, Chen Rui pointed to his temple, with a bitter expression on his face: "I've consumed too much these past few days, and I'm still a little dizzy now."
"Right, right! How about this, you go to the cabin to have a good rest first, and we will discuss it tomorrow." Sucrates slapped his forehead and quickly accepted. Ever since he discovered the "talent" of the candidate teacher, he felt like a treasure. He had to discuss the magic circle with "Luo Meng" every day, and felt that he had gained a lot.
The vice president has made up his mind that no matter how much it costs, he must keep this talented "Luo Meng" to teach in the Starlight Academy.
A few days later, the ship crossed the ice sea and arrived at the Emerald Forest Sea. Unlike Chen Rui's location last time, Sucrates' ship arrived at Zilan Port, which was guarded by the elves. In fact, it was the front entrance of the elves' residence .
As a well-known master in the human world, the vice president of the college where the elf princess lives, and friends of the elf master, Sucrates and his party received the courtesy of the elves. Xiandu went all the way.
It was evening when we arrived at Yinyue Xiandu. Although Sucrates wanted to go to Zilin immediately to visit Grandmaster Fenoa, he also knew that he should not be rude, so he brought his students to live in the inn arranged by the elves.
Coincidentally, it happened to be the post house where Chen Rui lived last time, and it seemed that it was specially equipped for foreign distinguished guests. Naturally, he was not in the mood. He used the excuse that he had used his talents too much these days and needed to rest, so he entered the room early in the morning and fell asleep.
In fact, when the others were sleeping soundly, Chen Rui was already outside the purple forest.
With the previous experience, coupled with the skills of stealth and camouflage, this journey can be regarded as a familiar one, without any difficulties.
Chen Rui passed through the lakeside hut where Fenoa's disciple Ta Lanna was, and entered the purple forest without a sound. When he arrived at the purple heart tree house where Fenoa was, he found that the elf master was already waiting in front of the big tree up.
It is obviously impossible to break through all the magic circles along this road without being discovered by the Elf Grandmaster. Besides, Chen Rui deliberately controlled the cracking speed, sequence and route to be basically the same as last time. With the wisdom of the Elf Grandmaster, naturally Able to guess the identity of the "intruder".
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Fenoa." Chen Rui had returned to his previous appearance and bowed.
Fenoa solemnly returned the salute: "What a pleasant reunion, should I call you Lord Richard? The strong man in the kingdom who once killed the four-winged angel."
Chen Rui didn't explain, but shook his head: "I think my Elf Grandmaster friend is reminding me that given the strength gap in the alchemy field, I should call him Lord Fenoa."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Everyone has their own secrets. Many things don't need to be asked or explained. It is enough to have a tacit trust. This is a friend.
"This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the tree house." Fenoa smiled and said: "Speaking of which, the taste of the wine last time is really memorable, and a forest dwarf who is not here will definitely envy me now Enjoy the exclusive treatment of fine wine.”
The hall of the Purple Heart Tree House was filled with the fragrance of yellow rice wine. Fenoya and Chen Rui visited several plates of delicate green food at the table. The elf master slowly tasted the long-lost top-quality wine, showing intoxication. If it were the dwarf master, he would definitely take a gulp from the wine bottle, and then curse and complain that there was no meat to drink.
"Your crafting skills have actually reached a considerable height. In some aspects, even a grandmaster may not be able to match you. What is lacking is just an opportunity, but I feel that your desire to become a grandmaster seems to be more urgent than last time." Much? That's not a good thing."
"I know the truth that haste makes waste, but I will soon face a master-level toolmaker in an alternative life-and-death duel."
The elf master moved to the small cup near his lips, and a few drops of wine spilled out.
"Although I am also a master of crafting, I still can't understand that a country-level powerhouse would choose to use crafting skills to fight a grandmaster." The elf master glanced at him, "As far as I know, the existing There are only a handful of master craftsmen, can I ask which opponent it is? Or can I provide some targeted advice. "
Chen Rui sighed: "This enemy is not any master you know, to be precise, it should be more terrifying than them."
The elf master's pupils contracted slightly, and he returned to normal in an instant. He nodded: "Everyone has their own path to choose. You can come here because of your trust in Bernd and me. No matter what, we will do our best to help you .”
