Chen Rui didn't expect that he would be brought to the Silent Night Wetland by the noblewoman!
Logically, it was impossible to reach the Silent Night Wetland in three days. The noblewoman must have used some special means.
"The Silent Night Wetland is very large. We just reached the edge."
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and asked, "Haven't you gotten rid of the pursuers?"
The noblewoman looked at him deeply, "Richard, you're really smart. To be honest, I still don't fully believe in your teacher even though you have taken out the black potions and Jiu Tian Xuan aura fruit. However, even without these, you're still a very good talent with your personal ability. I'm willing to recommend you to Her Majesty Catherine. I can guarantee that you'll get more than you think. "
Chen Rui was a little surprised and smiled slightly, "I can get more? Including a mysterious beauty? "
"In the Demon Realm, as long as you're valuable enough, there's nothing you can't get." The noblewoman's answer was very clever. She neither admitted nor rejected.
Chen Rui remembered that Jía had said something similar. Somehow, he suddenly missed a certain royal lady boss.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what I can get, but I'm sure that if I agree with you, I'll lose more than I think."
Initially, the Shadow Empire was a good choice, but Athena wouldn't leave the Dark Moon. Jía and Alice also had a certain place in his heart, and there were also friends like Aldas … With so many fetters together, he couldn't give up the Dark Moon. Of course, the most important thing was that Paglio hadn't been unlocked yet, so he couldn't leave the blue lake. As the object of the symbiotic contract, even if Chen Rui took Athena to the Shadow Empire, his life wouldn't be guaranteed.
"Your choice makes me feel sorry." The noblewoman sighed softly, "But I appreciate your honesty. I hope you can survive today, and I also hope … we won't become enemies too early in the future."
Chen Rui muttered to himself, "Honest my ass. The key is that you, a woman, are too smart. Otherwise, you would have used the trick of surrender, the trick of injuring yourself, and the trick of a pretty man. Unfortunately, even leaving is a problem now."
The noblewoman took Chen Rui deeper into the Silent Night Wetland. Along the way, they saw various demonic beasts, crocodiles, and giant pythons. If these creatures were placed on Earth, they would already be powerful predators that dominated an area. However, here, they were just low-level species at the bottom of the food chain. Chen Rui saw with his own eyes a powerful four-legged lizard easily tear apart a crocodile that was twice the size of the ones on Earth. He also saw a carnivorous giant tortoise with powerful defense being sucked into an empty shell by a few terrifying dragonflies.
The noblewoman did not provoke these creatures and would usually avoid them. Occasionally, a powerful demon beast that got close to her would be intimidated by her aura and run away.
Gradually, the sky turned dark.
The swamp was very cold at night, and the low cries of beasts could be heard from afar.
Chen Rui did not see the magic house on the carriage because the feature of this item was that the controller could control the interior of the space, but the defense outside was not enough. Someone had to guard it, so it was not suitable to be used in this kind of place.
The noblewoman used a tent, which was actually some kind of magic space item. It looked small from the outside, but the inside was about equivalent to a separate space of ten square meters. The ground was thick carpet, and there were also floor mats, lighting magic lamps, and other items. The biggest function was that one could observe the situation outside the tent at any time from the inside.
This kind of magic item was very valuable. Ordinary people rarely saw it. Unexpectedly, this rich and mysterious noblewoman actually had two of them. She was indeed a member of the royal family of the Shadow Empire.
The two rested in the tent. Every two hours or so, the noblewoman would eat an aura fruit, then she would close her eyes and sit cross-legged to digest it. The faint aura of power on her body made Chen Rui not dare to act rashly.
Chen Rui's previous feeling was not wrong. The noblewoman's power was indeed slowly weakening. Every time she ate an aura fruit, it would weaken a little. But in < Analytical Eyes >, it still showed "unable to determine".
In contrast, Chen Rui was much more bored. In the few days in Town Leia, he had already converted all the remaining waste ores in the storage warehouse. Now, the total aura had reached 1.1 million, but unfortunately, there was no place for him to use it.
"What did you hum just now?" The noblewoman had finished absorbing the aura fruit, so she sat cross-legged on the ground and asked.
"A song that I hum when I'm bored." Chen Rui smiled, "You haven't heard of it, right? This is my own creation."
In this place, this famous song from Earth was indeed appearing for the first time. Chen Rui unceremoniously took the copyright as his own.
"I really haven't heard of it, but I can tell that it should be a melodious tone, but you hum it incongruously. It's hard to imagine that you are actually a creator."
Chen Rui blushed, which was rare. Just as he wanted to stubbornly say that her appreciation level wasn't good, he saw the noblewoman actually took out something from the space ring, put it into the veil, and blew it gently. It was the song that he was humming just now.
Not only was it accurate, but even some parts that were out of tune were corrected. Moreover, it had a bit of the melodious and profound charm of the original tune, as if she was the original creator of this song.
Chen Rui was speechless for a while. Any tricks were useless in the face of such absolute strength. Fortunately, he didn't quibble just now, otherwise, he would only make a fool of himself.
The noblewoman stopped playing, "I'm sorry, I used to like music very much. Now that I heard a new song, I can't help but show my incompetence. Are there any other songs?"
Show my incompetence? Chen Rui felt ashamed and hummed the most familiar nocturne again. This time, he was much more careful.
After listening, the noblewoman didn't play immediately. Instead, she quietly played for a while before she started. In the mist of the wetland, the melody echoed faintly, like a fairy strolling alone in the night, enjoying the lonely embrace of the darkness.
The music gradually faded, and Chen Rui felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. He couldn't help but praise, "Genius, this is a genius! Just by listening to it once, she can grasp the charm of the music. "
"I like this song very much. What's it called?" the noblewoman suddenly asked.
"Solo Dance under the Moonlight. It seems to have been composed by a human bard. " In front of an expert, of course, Chen Rui didn't dare to pretend to be the original. He asked tentatively, "Don't you think this song is very lonely?"
"Are you 'conveniently' asking if I'm lonely? I've seen this kind of pick-up line too many times. Maybe you really have a little bit of affection for me, but if you want to get close to me and escape, it will make me lose the little bit of 'honesty' I have for you. "
Seeing Chen Rui's expression stagnated, the noblewoman's eyes flashed with a smile. "Anyway, thank you for your song. I might play it when I'm lonely. In fact … I'm too busy. I don't even have time to be lonely. It's very likely that this is the first and last time I'll play it. "
Too busy to even have time to be lonely? Chen Rui suddenly remembered Jía's words, "I can't remember the last time I smiled." Inexplicably, he felt that the two sentences faintly revealed the same emotion. He then shook his head and stopped this strange association.
"I'm cold and hungry now. Miss, can you get me something to eat? I can't get those two songs for free, right?"
"These two songs are only worth a little food? In the eyes of music lovers, it's a priceless treasure. "The noblewoman shook her head." Fortunately, these two songs are mine now. "
Chen Rui also shook his head. "I wanted to say that for the sake of these two songs, let me go. But thinking that I'm much more valuable than these two songs, so I held back and didn't say it. "
The noblewoman couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You're really a very special person. Even I can't help but be infected by your emotions. There's a rare relaxation when I'm with you. To be honest, I admire your wisdom and optimism, and I do have some affection for you. If … there aren't too many impossibilities, maybe I'll really be moved by you. "
"I don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes. Take the present, for example, I'm still carrying this incongruous thing." Chen Rui raised the gold crystal shackle. "Without it, I think we're already a little bit like friends."
"Friends?" The noblewoman looked at him faintly. "As long as you're willing to join the Shadow Empire, there will be such a day."
"Plans can't keep up with changes. It's too early to say these things now." Chen Rui didn't want to block the path for the time being, so he said vaguely. "Miss, it's best to get some prey. We can barbecue it. Maybe the fragrance can even attract some giant dragons and peerless powerhouses to save me from your evil clutches."
"…"
A night passed. The noblewoman still ate an aura fruit every two hours or so. Since he had "slept" for three days previously, Chen Rui didn't feel tired. The noblewoman had eaten a total of seven. Her strength had obviously dropped by a realm. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but her height was also slightly shorter. However, in the display of < Analytical Eyes >, her strength was still "unable to determine". Chen Rui was secretly shocked, but he was also glad that he didn't act rashly. There was still a little bit of poison left in the poison dragon, but with Barnacle's lesson, he didn't dare to act recklessly. This noblewoman's wisdom was a hundred times better than Barnacle's. He must not make a fool of himself.
In the morning, the two chatted for a while and ate something. The noblewoman suddenly stood up and waved her hand. The fire was extinguished instantly. Chen Rui knew something was wrong, so he immediately shut his mouth. The noblewoman grabbed him and ran as fast as lightning. She only stopped when she reached a mahogany forest. She placed him behind a tree and disappeared after a few leaps.
Chen Rui secretly calculated that the noblewoman came to the Silent Night Wetland to get rid of her pursuer and find a safe place to absorb the power of the "Jiu Tian Xuan aura fruit". He didn't expect the pursuer to be so powerful that he followed her all the way here.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The idea was good, but with his current strength, even if he unlocked the gold crystal shackles, he wouldn't be the oriole. Although the noblewoman was very polite along the way, and so far, the atmosphere between the two was harmonious and friendly. However, a person's heart was unpredictable. Chen Rui's identity was still a captive. Even if the two had a little affection for each other, that was all. Who knew how this "friendly" noblewoman would treat him after his usefulness was over.
The most important thing now was that "Dark Will" wasn't in his hands. With his strength, the possibility of escaping from this completely unfamiliar Silent Night Wetland was basically zero.
About half an hour passed, and the noblewoman still hadn't returned. Just when Chen Rui couldn't help but want to transform the gold crystal shackles, a prompt suddenly appeared in < Analytical Eyes >. A person appeared in front.
What surprised Chen Rui was that < Analytical Eyes > didn't prompt the noblewoman.
