Although Delia's tone was still very cold, Chen Rui could tell that it wasn't a perfunctory remark. He nodded secretly and said, "Thank you, Delia. Three months later, if I can make it, I will rush to the Silent Night Wetland to help. Although my power is not as good as yours and Lomont's, I'm very knowledgeable about magic traps. I hope I can help by then. "
This "help" was a bit convenient. In fact, Chen Rui's next plan was to go to the Silent Night Wetland to find Paglio's treasure. The thing that Delia was looking for was probably in the poison dragon's collection. The problem was that a forgetful dragon had set the strongest self-destruction inscription in the treasure. Even if the inscription would weaken every three years for some special reason, the "self-destruction program" was not a joke. If Delia and Lomont accidentally triggered it, then everything would be over.
"Hmph, that's what that bastard man said. I didn't say that I will definitely go after three months." Delia still looked very ungrateful. "As for you, if I know that you dare to bully Athena, I will definitely not let you go."
"How would I dare? It has always been Athena bullying me." Chen Rui shook his head with a bitter smile. "You may not know yet, but Athena is almost close to the peak of Higher Demon."
"Higher Demon!" Delia was taken aback. "Three years ago, she was just an intermediate Intermediate Demon. Even if she is a genius among the mutated Great Demons, it is impossible to become an advanced Higher Demon in such a short time!"
"I don't have to lie to you. With her personality, she will probably come to the Silent Night Wetland in three months."
"No!" Delia said flatly, "What do you think the Silent Night Wetland is? There are countless demonic beasts of Higher Demon. There are also Demon King, Great Demon King and even Demon Emperor! Even if Athena reaches Demon King, she can't come to the Silent Night Wetland! Return this ice crystal to her. Tell her, if she still wants me as a friend, then don't meddle in my business! As for a guy with strength like yours, you'll only be a burden if you follow us. We don't welcome you either. "
Chen Rui took the ice crystal and didn't say anything else. He understood Delia's intentions very well. Perhaps this was the real Delia, the friend of Athena.
After a moment of silence, Chen Rui suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you just say that these magic shackles are called Gold Crystal Shackles?"
Delia nodded, and Chen Rui's eyes lit up: Gold crystal is one of the rarest treasures in the Demon Realm. Similar crystals with lower quality than it are blood crystal, black crystal, amethyst, and white crystal. In addition to blood crystals, black crystals, purple crystals, and white crystals were used to make currency in the Demon Realm.
Chen Rui once transformed the blood crystal into aura, and a small piece could provide more than 600. Now, aura was secondary. The key was that this thing was a material that could be transformed. Since it was a material that could be transformed, then the shackles couldn't be called shackles anymore.
At that moment, the maid, Sally, came out and reported, "Madam, Miss' training is over. She knows that the captive has woken up, so she wants to interrogate him personally immediately."
"Got it. You can go in."
Delia gave a look to Chen Rui, and the latter nodded. He was a lot more assured in his heart. He secretly activated the [Aura Transformation] just now, and there was a notification that it could be transformed. It was only a matter of time before he broke free from the shackles of power. The key was to pass the test of "Miss" first.
The power of this "cave house" was very powerful. Even Delia, who had the strength of Demon King, couldn't leave this place without the permission of "Miss".
Delia took Chen Rui through the hall, through a few rooms and a corridor. There was actually a courtyard inside, but the scenery in the sky seemed relatively fixed. In the courtyard, Chen Rui saw the royal noblewoman from the Dark Shadow's capital.
Delia's face was covered with a veil, revealing only her eyes. However, the noblewoman's entire head was covered in a thin gauze. The translucent gauze material was special. It seemed that her facial features could be vaguely seen, but it was impossible to see clearly.
She was wearing a classical-style tight waist robe. Although her height was slightly shorter than Delia, her figure was even more perfect, as if it was some kind of golden ratio. Although her face couldn't be seen clearly, her whole person faintly revealed a mysterious and noble temperament. Even the cold and elegant Delia had a feeling of being overshadowed in front of her.
[Analytical Eyes] showed – Race: Lust Royal Family. Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to judge!
It was actually unable to judge!
The strength of this Dark Shadow Royal Family noblewoman was at least at the Great Demon King level!
So far, in Chen Rui's [Analytical Eyes], there were only three people who were "unable to judge". One was Paglio, one was Jía, and the last one was this royal noblewoman of the Shadow Empire!
Chen Rui didn't dare to act rashly. The ring of "Dark Will" had fallen into the hands of the other party. Even if the gold crystal shackles were removed, there was still no possibility of escape in the face of a mysterious opponent who was at least a Great Demon King.
"Delia, how did you get hurt?" The noblewoman's voice sounded. Her tone had a kind of calmness that made people ignore the pleasant timbre.
Delia had already changed the bloody veil, but she still couldn't hide it from the noblewoman. She could only reply, "Yes, this captive's willpower is very strong. When I was interrogating him just now, I was careless and suffered a small loss. However, I have gotten some confessions. This guy is called Richard. He came from Town Leia and was chased on the way … "
The noblewoman listened quietly and didn't comment. She just looked at Chen Rui. Chen Rui felt that the eyes behind the veil seemed to have a strange power that penetrated into his heart. He immediately put on a more realistic look of dejection and avoided looking at her.
"Miss, although I underestimated the enemy just now, it was the first time I suffered such a loss on a man. Can you give him to me later? I will let him have a taste of Madam Black Spider! " Delia's charming voice revealed a sense of resentment. Chen Rui knew that this was her intentional cover, so he cooperated and lowered his head even more.
"We'll talk about it later. There's no hurry now." The noblewoman didn't directly agree to Delia's request. "Madam Delia, please go outside the carriage now and ask Bob to stop the carriage. Then, use the communication talisman to contact Town Leia to see if anything special happened. Emma, Sally, you two can leave for now. "
The noblewoman actually made such a decision! Although Chen Rui lowered his head, his heart jumped fiercely. Is it a coincidence or did she really notice something?
After the three left, the noblewoman walked over slowly and came to Chen Rui.
"Richard, I'll call you that for now." The noblewoman said faintly, "Since you said you came from Town Leia, then please tell me the big event that happened in Town Leia. I forgot to remind you. When I asked Delia to contact Town Leia just now, your heartbeat was a bit abnormal … Can you tell me the real situation? "
The noblewoman's tone was calm and cordial. It was completely different from Delia's coldness as if she was talking to a friend instead of a captive. However, Chen Rui's heart was even more vigilant. Just these few sentences showed her terrifying insight and deduction. The intelligence of this noblewoman was by no means ordinary. It seemed that she couldn't be fooled with ordinary means.
"Miss, you're very smart. Then, I'll tell you the truth. Something big did happen in town. I heard that the Scarlet Guards started a riot, and the old mayor sent the defense team to suppress it. I don't know the specific situation, but the whole town seemed to be very chaotic. At that time, I was just about to leave the town. In order to avoid being affected by the riot, I quickly escaped. However, I was attacked by an unknown powerhouse halfway and almost died. Miss, please forgive me for not telling the truth before. Because I just escaped from death and was imprisoned after waking up, it's inevitable that I'll be vigilant. "
The noblewoman nodded, "Then, where are you going? I'm very familiar with the capital city. Maybe I can help you. "
Chen Rui was completely blank about the situation of the capital city of the Shadow Empire. In the face of this visitor from the capital city, he naturally couldn't avoid it. However, he was very quick-witted, so he changed his words, "Actually, I'm a demonic beast hunter. I also have some research on incapacitating agents and poisons. This time, my destination isn't the capital city, but the Silent Night Wetland. There's a wyvern's nest there. I want to use drugs to lure one or two young dragons to sell …"
At this time, Delia walked in and whispered to the noblewoman for a while. Even if Chen Rui covered his ears, he could guess that she was talking about the incident in Town Leia.
"Madam Delia, you've worked hard. Your spirit is badly damaged. This bottle of potion is for you. Go to the room and have a good rest." The noblewoman's words were very polite, but it had an irresistible meaning. Delia took the potion, glanced at Chen Rui, and walked out of the yard.
Although she already knew about the great changes that happened in Town Leia, the noblewoman acted as if nothing had happened. She said to Chen Rui, "Continue."
Continue to "fabricate"? This calm calmness made Chen Rui a little guilty, so he had to describe the Silent Night Wetland. He had learned a lot about the Silent Night Wetland and the wyvern's nest from Mengda and Kegu. He also talked about the production of incapacitating agents and poisons. It sounded reasonable and plausible.
"Are you done? Then, I'll say a few words first, then you can continue, okay? " The noblewoman quietly waited for him to finish and sighed slightly, "You are very quick-witted, but your long-term planning is still not enough. Of course, this may be because the time is too short. I'll only ask you two questions. After you hunt the wyvern, which merchant do you plan to trade with? How much is the price? "
Chen Rui had been speechless. He really didn't understand this aspect. Just now, he had been trying to lead the noblewoman's attention to the potion that he was relatively familiar with. The noblewoman also showed interest, but now he knew that she wasn't moved at all.
"Next time, you have to choose a more familiar profession as an excuse so that there will be fewer flaws." The noblewoman patiently pointed out his flaws. "If you're a scout or spy, I can only say that you're very unqualified. So, you shouldn't be a spy. Now, let's talk about the incident in Town Leia. "
Chen Rui's heart tightened. The mysterious noblewoman waved her hand and a chair appeared behind Chen Rui, "Please sit down."
This "courtesy" made Chen Rui uneasy, but he still sat down.
The noblewoman continued, "I was very surprised by the changes in Town Leia. The devil pomeg tree was destroyed, the mayor, Kander died, the defense captain, Ross died, and the Scarlet Guards were almost wiped out. We … can regard this as a wonderful plan. Let me assume that you're the person behind the plan. Don't be nervous, I'm just 'assuming'. There are actually a lot of loopholes in this plan. The reason why it's wonderful is because of the effect it achieved in the end. The difference in timing and the grasp of timing are amazing. Even if someone finds out something is wrong, they have to continue to be led by the nose because of the serious consequences. For example, the mayor, Kander's biggest weakness is the devil pomeg tree. Although there are still some details that I don't understand, I have to praise you for doing a good job. "
"Miss, I'm not …"
"Don't worry, I'm just 'assuming'. You're just a demonic beast hunter who is proficient in potions. You came out of Town Leia and unfortunately fell in front of my carriage. Then, you were captured innocently. How can the incident in Town Leia be related to you?"
The more the noblewoman said so, the heavier Chen Rui's heart became. It seems that my luck is really bad. I actually fell into the hands of such a woman. Not only is her strength terrifying, but her intelligence is even more terrifying. His scheming that even Jía admired was like a child's play in front of this mysterious woman.
"Next, let's further assume." The noblewoman saw Chen Rui's dignified face, and there seemed to be a slight smile behind the veil. "Why is the Scarlet Guards rioting? I don't know much about Town Leia, but I've seen relevant information in the capital city. The Scarlet Guards is actually a force of the Red Spirit Estate. Their purpose is to be instructed by the Regent Obsidian of the Fallen Angel Empire to restrict the west passage of the Dark Moon Estate. I can't think of the significance of the Scarlet Guards seizing the devil pomeg fruit. Even if the devil pomeg fruit is extremely important to a certain big shot in the Red Spirit Estate, even if they have a secret method to maintain the effectiveness of the fruit that loses its effectiveness after leaving the fruit tree for 5 minutes, this suicidal behavior is really not worth it. Could it be that for the value of the fruit, they are willing to disobey the regent's order and even become enemies with my Shadow Empire? "
Chen Rui's back was already in a cold sweat. Only then did he know that the devil pomeg would lose its effectiveness after leaving the fruit tree for 5 minutes. Fortunately, he picked one and ate one. It seemed that as the noblewoman said, the plan that he thought was a perfect success actually had such an obvious loophole.
"Who will benefit the most from the destruction of the Red Spirit Estate forces?" The noblewoman's next words almost made Chen Rui unable to sit still. "I think … it should be the down-and-out Princess Royal of the Dark Moon Estate. I can't help but admire Princess Jía a little now. Under such adversity, she can actually recruit a talent like you. "
"My words are finished for now." The noblewoman stretched out her white jade-like palm, and there was a black ring in her palm. "Now, I want to hear your explanation, the owner of the 'Dark Will', Sir Richard."
The horror in Chen Rui's heart was simply indescribable: This woman's IQ is simply terrifying! Could it be that one is influenced by the company he keeps? The Dark Shadow Empire has an empress who is the wisest one. There's actually such a noble lady with incredible wisdom in the royal family!
