Chen Rui completely ignored Garfield's anger, and showed apologetic expression to Gralin: "The tree has a lot of dead branches, even my Royal Roland family will inevitably have such uncultivated and rude people, which made His Excellency Gralin laugh. "
"I understand," Gralin naturally sighed cooperatively, "However, Your Highness Garfield, as an imperial prince, I think you should really pay attention to your self-cultivation. This is not what an elder brother should do to a younger brother. Attitude, and you are a brother who has been separated for many years and reunited, I believe that Emperor Rex does not want to see you like this."
Seeing the two singing together, Garfield's eyes grew more resentful, but he knew that he must not let it flare up, otherwise, if things got serious, with Gralin as a very important "witness", he would only suffer, and he felt suffocated Incomparably bent.
After all, Garfield was not an ordinary person, so he calmed down quickly, and laughed a few times: "Master Gralin is right, I was rude. Brother Sanhuang, I will take my leave first. The future will be long, and there is still a chance for us brothers to get close." A lot, you must take good care of it.”
"That's right, Second Emperor Brother, I am also very much looking forward to the day when you regain your glory." Chen Rui didn't seem to understand the threat in Garfield's words, but instead said sincerely.
This guy really didn't know which pot to turn on, the veins in Garfield's temple were about to bleed, he barely suppressed the rage in his heart, snorted coldly, and left the hall without looking back.
Samuel felt relieved when he saw the second prince Garfield, who had persecuted himself and his family several times, was so angry that Chen Rui almost vomited blood and left angrily.
Chen Rui smiled at Samuel and winked. Samuel understood, left the hall, and guarded the door.
Only then did Chen Rui say to Gralin, "Thank you for your words."
"It's easy to do, His Royal Highness Arthur is too polite," Gralin understood that the other party deliberately gave him this "favor", and took advantage of the situation, "Actually, I am very presumptuous to come today..."
"I've guessed a little bit about Your Excellency's intentions." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Let me ask first, is there any conflict between the throne and the Holy Son?"
As soon as this question was raised, Gralin's eyes lit up: "Of course there is no conflict! Whether you want to be the emperor of the Longhuang Empire or the next pope of the church, the church will be your most solid backing. If you want to It’s not impossible to have both!”
"Really?" Chen Rui added in his heart, 'Actually, neither brother is interested', still smiling on his face, "In other words, the Church of Light will support me in competing for the throne, and even if the competition fails, I will still have the Holy Spirit of Light." The back road of the mountain?"
"That's right."
"Then the other two relics..."
"Now that I've been honest, let me explain it clearly," Gralin hesitated, "The holy relic involves two holy empires. Even if the church wants to interfere with it, it is not easy. Now it is the United States to deal with it." At the critical moment of the Black Dead, it is not appropriate to cause additional conflicts. However, I have a solution. Since His Highness is the prince of the Longhuang Empire, as long as he inherits the throne, the holy light robe belonging to the Longhuang Empire is at your fingertips. As for the Holy Grail …Princess Lanbis of the Lanyao Empire is His Highness's fiancée, His Highness can get some relevant clues from her, and then the church will come forward to try to solve it. What does His Highness think?"
This passage made Chen Rui think seriously, and then he showed a strange look: "Why do I feel as if I am firmly tied to the church?"
"I am honored for this, Your Highness." Gralin heard the mystery of these words, and was overjoyed, "In fact, from the moment Crown of Thorns chose His Highness, His Highness has already stood on the same front as the Church .”
"I don't know whether to feel sorry or grateful for the honor of His Excellency Gralin." Chen Rui shrugged with a pun, "However, I can't give you a formal answer right now."
"It's okay, I already know His Highness's ambitions and intentions, that's enough, I've bothered you so much today, I'll visit His Highness next time." Gralin, who thought he had made great contributions, didn't pay attention to anything more, and left happily and go.
In the next few days, Chen Rui patiently met all the people who came to visit, including Samuel's father, Joanna's father, etc. The fourth prince Luke visited again later, And Princess Mayfair came here almost every day, as if she and Isabella had become close friends who talked about everything.
A few days later, Chen Rui was summoned by Emperor Rex again, this time, in the main hall of the palace.
Chen Rui has basically met with most of the upper-class nobles. In the hall, apart from Emperor Rex on the throne, there are two princes Garfield and Luke, five heads of the two courts and three divisions, and one Wearing a robe, a strange old man with gray beard and hair, with a drowsy expression, was actually sitting, and beside him stood a beautiful brown-haired girl.
"Your Majesty." Chen Rui bowed to Rex.
The Rex in the main hall was completely different from that in the garden. He looked harsh and indifferent, without any extra emotion, and faintly exuded the majesty of a king.
"Arthur, you told me last time that your inheritance is the ancient alchemy civilization?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Rui clearly felt that the drowsy old man had been secretly looking at him, and he already understood a little bit.
"This is Grandmaster Qikui, one of the two remaining master craftsmen." Rex raised his hand to the old man, "He is somewhat interested in the inheritance you have obtained."
Garfield's eyelids moved, and Luke's eyes obviously shone with a strange light. This was clearly the rhythm of recommending apprenticeships—Arthur's cultivation qualifications had always been very weak, and even after seven years of so-called "inheritance", he could only It's just a soldier-level strength, not even a division-level strength. If a master craftsman can be found as a backer, the benefits will be self-evident, whether it is for "Arthur" himself or the entire Longhuang Empire.
However, Grandmaster Qikui is not a nominal teacher. In this way, "Arthur" has embarked on another path. It will take at least ten years or even decades to truly succeed in learning. Such a long time is enough for a lot of changes, all in all, the distance between "Arthur" and the throne will only grow further and further.
Garfield was determined, no wonder Father Rex never mentioned the matter of returning Jin Yao's territory to "Arthur", it turned out that he had plans in this regard.
Chen Rui looked at Grandmaster Qikui, then at Rex, and his heart was clear: From Rex's point of view, this decision can be counted as a one-shot, since "Arthur" who suddenly appeared has been settled, and he will not It had an impact on the already relatively balanced political structure, and also attracted a master craftsman.
"Arthur, Roland, please be polite." Chen Rui performed a seemingly ancient courtesy to Qi Kui.
The rest of the people didn't understand the meaning of this etiquette, and they thought it was some etiquette of the ancient alchemy civilization. Qi Kui's eyelids moved, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. The girl with short black hair changed her expression even more, and blurted out: "Your Highness Arthur, do you understand the true meaning of this etiquette!"
This is not the etiquette of alchemy civilization, but an ancient etiquette of alchemists—what Prince "Arthur" showed to Grandmaster Qi Kui turned out to be a courtesy to "peers", not to "teacher"!
Instead of explaining, Chen Rui smiled, and then began to size up the girl's fiery figure unscrupulously.
Under such gazes, the girl felt as if she was naked, and her heart was full of anger. As one of the five direct disciples of Grandmaster Qikui, the newly promoted master craftsman, the most outstanding genius of the new generation of craftsmen, who is not the existence of the proud daughter of heaven, was humiliated by this ignorant prince today!
If this is not the imperial palace of the Longhuang Empire, I am afraid that the girl has already had a seizure.
"Tut tsk tsk... It's a pity." Chen Rui shook his head, with a regretful expression on his face, "It's a pity."
"Arthur, don't be rude!" Emperor Rex saw something was wrong, "This is the direct disciple of Grandmaster Qikui, the most famous genius in the human world, Master Peluxi, please apologize to Master Peluxi. "
"Master? What a pity," Chen Rui still shook his head, "Miss Peluxi should be proficient in props, you have thick calluses on the side of your left thumb and the second knuckle of your middle finger, which means you like to use a small burr. Using the right hand to operate the button drill and spiral needle knife to enchant with the method of spiritual rune array. This is a difficult enchanting technique, and the effect is about 20% to 30% higher than that of direct "attraction", but it has a great impact on spiritual power. The requirements for manipulation are very high, and you have to use two things at once, and it is easy to have magic patterns intertwined, which will affect the overall effect. Your mental power level is enough, but it seems to be insufficient in purity, so the failure rate is very high. The back of your hand The above is the impact spot caused by the failure of enchanting. Even with medicine, this kind of spot will take about a month to fade. From the spots on the back of your hand, it can be seen that you have encountered at least three failed enchantments ten days ago. But you should have succeeded in the end..."
Chen Rui's gaze fell on Pei Luxi's ear again: "If I'm not wrong, your work... should be the pair of red glass, purple coral, star powder, glazed sand, mithril, and blue fragrance liquid. The produced quasi-legendary earrings can increase the concentration of mental power by 43%, increase the power of mental sensitivity by 30%, and increase the recovery speed of physical and mental power by 35%. This item can actually improve your success in casting spiritual rune array enchantments Efficiency, just a pity…”
Peluxi was completely shocked, this rude person who thought she was "ignorant and incompetent", unexpectedly saw her characteristics in instrument making just from her hands. What is even more unbelievable is that the pair of earrings she is wearing now, whether it is the manufacturing time, the number of failures, the attributes of the equipment, and even every material used, has been accurately stated by the other party!
What kind of talent is this? No, it is no longer an ordinary talent, more precisely, it is an attainment!
With extraordinary attainments in instrument making, Prince "Arthur" must also be a genius in instrument making, and it is very likely that he is even better than her!
"What a pity?" It was Peluxi's teacher, Grandmaster Qikui, who spoke with a rare seriousness in his lazy eyes.
