After everyone left, only Jía and Chen Rui were left in the council hall.
"Congratulations, the new sheriff." Jía's anger toward Joseph had long disappeared. She said emotionally, "Your planning is amazing. Joseph really took the initiative to push you to the sheriff's position."
In fact, if "Aguile" didn't "inform" Joseph in advance, Joseph wouldn't make up his mind to push Chen Rui to the position. However, Chen Rui definitely wouldn't say these inside stories. He just smiled and said, "If there is no cooperation between Princess Royal and the Saiful Family, this effect will definitely not be achieved. Next, Princess Royal can send someone to control and reorganize the garrison. I just need to be a decoration. "
"Kaguron wants to be in charge of the imperial guards." Jía's eyes had a faint glow, "Since you have already served as the sheriff, the garrison will be handed over to you?"
"I can't do this!" Chen Rui shook his head quickly. It's fine to come up with some ideas to cause trouble behind the scenes, but I definitely can't handle things like leading troops. Besides, the identity of "Chen Rui" is a powerless human, so I can't expose my true strength because of this.
"Don't underestimate your ability. Besides, you can let Athena help you." Jía glanced at him and suddenly added, "There's another advice. The Wales Family's bloodline talent is very special. If you really want Athena's good, don't cross the last line before she is 20 years old."
Chen Rui looked surprised. The matter between him and Athena wasn't made public. Even little loli could only vaguely guess it. However, Jía probably guessed it too. When Athena took the initiative to accompany Chen Rui to Mountain Xilang, Jía should have already seen some clues.
Chen Rui could hear the faint loneliness in Jía's voice. Jía didn't give him time to explain or consider. She continued as if nothing happened, "Since this is the case, I think it's time to fulfill a promise you made before you went to the mine. That is Kia."
This was considered as bringing up the past again. Chen Rui frowned, "Can I refuse this reward?"
A few months ago, after Kia learned about this, the originally harmonious relationship with Chen Rui suddenly became estranged. In the past, Kia liked to go with Alice for picnics. However, when they went to the mangrove forest a few days ago, Alice took the initiative to ask Kia to go, but she actually refused. She was clearly avoiding Chen Rui.
To be honest, when he first came to the Demon Realm, Chen Rui still had some fantasies about this seductive succubus, but now he didn't have this feeling at all, and he didn't want to force her.
"This is actually not a reward, but a mission." Jía shook her head and said, "Kia was rescued by me by chance, then she became my maid, but … this' coincidence 'is likely to be man-made. Don't underestimate this succubus. Her mind and strength are far beyond your imagination. "
After Kia became Jía's maid, she had been conscientious and won the trust of Jía. However, in a coincidental situation, Old Gauss discovered that she actually had a powerful spirit power. If she was a magician, her strength was even above Old Gauss himself, so he immediately reported to Jía.
No matter what means were used to interrogate her, Kia just said that she had recently awakened a mutated talent and voluntarily wore the Magic Prohibition Ring to show her innocence, which was a powerful item that could restrain magic power.
Although there was nothing to nitpick about this reason and attitude, Jía was already suspicious. She didn't keep Kia by her side anymore, but she was given to Alice. In fact, Old Gauss also secretly tried to cast the master-servant contract, but it was ineffective on Kia. It was likely that she already had her own master or servant. Her origin was not simple.
"Your mission is to find out her origin. If possible, completely subdue her so that we can use the pawn that the enemy placed around us. In addition to having excellent magic talent, Kia also has the mutated talent of the devouring physique. She can devour the essence of the target and turn it into her own. This kind of mutated talent is very rare and extremely powerful. Even a Demon Overlord can't be completely immune. The Magic Prohibition Ring can only restrict her magic power, but it can't restrain this talent. However, there is a secret treasure that can suppress this devouring power. That is the 'Dark Will' that I gave you! "Jía's eyes fell on Chen Rui's finger, but she didn't find the ring. She frowned slightly.
Chen Rui noticed Jía's displeasure. With a thought, the storage warehouse played a role. He opened his clenched fist, and the Lucifer Royal Family's secret treasure was in his palm, "I think you need this secret treasure more than me. Now that I have returned from Mountain Xilang, I wanted to return it to you."
"This is my gift to you. I don't plan to take it back." Jía glanced at the ring and shook her head gently, "This secret treasure was forged by Sakya. Lucifer's beloved concubine, Xuehan. Belphegor, using the power of the strongest [Eye of Evil] mixed with the blood of the Lucifer Royal Family. In addition to teleportation and spirit resistance, it also has a special function in the matter between men and women. It is enough to suppress Kia's devouring physique."
Chen Rui didn't expect "Dark Will" to have a miraculous effect. He suddenly remembered another "infatuation ring" from Lomont in the warehouse. The correct name of this ring should be the ring of Purple Flame Heart. It seemed to involve an ancient treasure. Unfortunately, this mystery had not been solved yet.
Jía's tone was cold, "As long as you wear the ring, you can possess Kia without being affected by the devouring power. Succubi are naturally attractive to men, but their desire for men is also greater than that of ordinary women. When the conditions are ripe, completely possessing her body and mind may be a good way to subdue her. Our current plan has progressed to a more critical link. There can be no mistakes. If we are sure that we can't subdue her, then we can only kill her completely to avoid future troubles! "
The coldness of easily manipulating the life and death of others seemed to be reminding Chen Rui that she was an indifferent and ruthless female lord.
Chen Rui frowned and said, "I have to complete this mission? Can't I give it to someone else? "
"Dark Will was secretly escorted by Athena 3 years ago. Almost no one knows that it is in my hands. Besides, I don't intend to give it to a second person except you … Only you can complete this mission." Jía paused for a moment and looked appreciative. "Speaking of which, Kia is just a mission. I don't know what reward I should give you."
"Reward? It's not necessary. There's no credit anyway. " Chen Rui rubbed his nose. "Besides, I'm already a sheriff. If I'm found to be abusing my power and pocketing in the future, Princess Royal Highness can just turn a blind eye to it."
"If it's just based on credit, no one in the Dark Moon can compare to you …" Jía shook her head. "The secret food base has been successfully established now. Under the effect of that dust, the effect of soil improvement is huge, and the crop yield is gratifying. The Dark Moon's food crisis for thousands of years was solved in my hands. You can be said to have great credit. The income of the Princess Retail Store that you planned and operated is far beyond my imagination. It has become one of the most important sources of cash. Besides, your follow-up plans will bring more benefits. Not only that, the ores you brought back this time, together with those brought by Aguile last time, are enough to build equipment to arm several armies. Not only did you rescue Tim, but you also made the Saiful Family more loyal. You also lured and killed the bandit leader with a strange scheme. You planned a surprise attack on the entire Mountain Xilang and finally cleared the hidden danger that had been accumulated in the west passage for several years in one fell swoop. This time, you also planned to regain the sheriff's power … "
"Really?" Chen Rui rubbed his nose even harder. It sounds like there are a lot of credits, but many of them are for my own purpose. Many of them are just pocketing …
Jía said so much in one breath and sighed, "These credits are too great. I can't think of how to reward you …"
There's no reward? However, Jía is right. The sheriff is already the highest position below the lord. Moreover, half of the wealth from the Princess Retail Store in the palace's treasury originally belongs to Chen Rui. There is indeed nothing to reward.
Chen Rui muttered secretly and smiled, "We humans have a saying that the higher the merit, the better the lord. Generally, at this point, even if you really let go of the power in your hands, it will be difficult to end well. "
There are countless examples in history. Han Xin, Yue Fei, Li Mu, Nian Gengyao … Although there are many comprehensive reasons for the failure of these people, the higher the merit, the better the lord, is undoubtedly the key word.
Jía's expression suddenly became solemn. She stood up, "I, Jía. Lucifer swear by the royal bloodline …"
"Wait!" Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "It's just a joke. Princess Royal doesn't have to be serious."
"If it's just a test, I believe you already know my answer." Jía frowned, "The people from the capital will probably arrive in a few days. By then, we must deal with it cautiously. In any case, we must eliminate the Beelzebub Royal Family in the bud, especially the guy who wore the" God-Eating Mask "that night. We must crush him into pieces!"
The undisguised strong killing intent in Jía's tone made Chen Rui secretly feel chills. The secret room should be the biggest source of killing intent. It seems that the identity of "Beelzebub Royal Family" can only continue to be concealed.
The "law" of using affinity to offset hatred. Accumulating more credits now, when I tell the truth, her resentment will also be reduced.
Jía looked at his flickering eyes, and her voice suddenly became a little low, "Do you really think that one day I will hurt you because of …?"
"Value determines the meaning of existence." Chen Rui scratched his head, "This is what Princess Royal said yourself. It seems to be just before I went to Mountain Xilang."
When Jía heard Mountain Xilang, she seemed to be touched. The ice in her eyes gradually melted, "No, your value is not …"
She didn't continue this sentence, but Chen Rui clearly felt the rare softness in her purple eyes. Thinking of the call in front of the Wind Chime of Memory in the secret room, his heart became soft unconsciously. He showed a firm smile, "Princess Royal, since this is the case. Then, I think I have gotten the best reward. "
Jía's eyes trembled slightly. She stared at his smiling face and suddenly said faintly, "I have to say that you are really good at moving women, Mr. Sheriff. Unfortunately, I'm not Athena. Put away your little tricks. "
What and what? It's rare to feel like a confidant … Such an unromantic woman …
Chen Rui's expression was stagnant. He secretly thought that with Princess Royal's strange reasoning ability, the explanation would only make things worse. He left very depressed, but he didn't notice the rare mischievousness in Jía's purple eyes.
