The result of the emergency meeting surprised all the Dark Moon residents. Tim, who was originally the most promising person to become the sheriff, actually lost to the human mining officer, Chen Rui, who was "rescued" by him!
According to well-informed sources, the key to Chen Rui's success this time was the support of Financial Officer Joseph. The reason was that during the last quarterly meeting, Joseph and Chen Rui made a bet. If he could come back alive from Mountain Xilang, he would recommend Chen Rui as the sheriff. At that time, Princess Royal Jía also personally supported it, so she couldn't go back on her words. Therefore, Chen Rui dramatically ascended to the sheriff's position.
For a time, the voices of contempt, dissatisfaction, and jealousy from all sides were endless, but all of this couldn't change the fact that a human became a sheriff. However, almost no one paid attention to the former sheriff, Alan, who had stepped down. In any case, a loser was a loser.
The most innocent was Tim from the Saiful Family. The sheriff position that was in his hands actually flew away, so he could only return to the bitter cold Mountain Xilang to serve as a mining officer again. However, he had the title of the West Road Defense Captain. He could command a certain number of troops, so it was considered a consolation prize.
No one would have thought that at this time, the most innocent mining officer, Tim, was kneeling in front of the sheriff, and he was sincerely convinced.
Tim looked at the devil fruit in his hand, and he was extremely excited. In addition to the life-saving longevity potion, my master actually gave me such a precious item. In fact, except for the imp, Slee, the devil fruit had become the "standard benefit" of Chen Rui's servants. If this news spread, perhaps countless Demons would try their best to squeeze in and recognize their master.
With the power of the earth elemental heart, the output of the devil fruit would be doubled. As for whether the grade could be further improved, it depended on whether the fruit itself could support this "upgrade".
"Get up." Chen Rui patted Tim's shoulder, "How's the explanation for Lysa's matter to the family?"
Tim nodded. "It went much smoother than I expected. When my father heard that Lysa had a child, and that it was a mutated great demon, he immediately confirmed her position as the legal wife without hesitation. He also proposed to bring the child back immediately. It took me a lot of effort to convince him."
Chen Rui was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Old Ford to be so "open-minded". He actually gave the "otherworldling" Medusa the position of legal wife. In fact, Chen Rui still underestimated the importance the Demons attached to inheritance. Of course, if Lysa had given birth to Medusa, then it would have been good enough to be recognized as a concubine.
"So you're saying … you have a lot of concubines?" Chen Rui said with a smile. Seeing Tim's bitter smile, he added, "Your father didn't suspect me, did he?"
Tim shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Master. Father only knows that Master saved me and Lysa, and is very grateful to Master. He doesn't know anything else. Even the materials that Master used to make black potions were well concealed by me. "
Chen Rui nodded approvingly. "This time when you go to Mountain Xilang, you will bring a lot of family members. The matters of the underground world must continue to be kept secret. You can claim that the main pit has been closed and let the miners continue to mine open-air ores. As for the payment of ores, don't worry about it. I have already discussed it with Princess Royal. Also, the ores in the waste ores room have all been restored to normal ores. I also buried some of them in the green leaf forest. You can secretly transfer this batch of ores to a safe place. In addition to repairing the original public communication station, you also need to secretly build our own communication station in Mountain Xilang to facilitate our contact. As for the defense of the west, I don't need to say more. Be wary of the Red Spirit Estate and the Shadow Empire at any time. When necessary, you can use the power of the medusa tribe or ask for help from the earth elementals. "
"Yes, Master." Tim was completely convinced by Chen Rui's wisdom and magical power. This time, he could go to Mountain Xilang to show off his skills. At the same time, he could also take good care of Lysa and her son. It was killing two birds with one stone.
After a while, Tim walked out from the lower floor of the arena. When he saw Athena in the hall, he bowed deeply and nodded to Arux and others. He put on his cloak and left the arena under the cover of the night.
Chen Rui also walked out and asked Royce, "Has Joseph left the Dark Moon?"
Royce nodded, "After attending the meeting, he hurried to the Red Spirit Estate. It seems that Kanita is challenging him due to the complete defeat of the Dark Moon in the west."
"Poor financial officer. Not only does he have to run back and forth, but he also has to deal with the infighting with his brother. Even the time to meditate and train seems precious. However, when I saw him today, I found that his power has increased a lot. He is likely to break through to the later stage of Demon King." Chen Rui looked at the calm looks of Arux, Royce and others and frowned, "Aren't you guys worried at all?"
Royce showed a weird expression, "It's not that I want to flatter Master, but I should be worried about Joseph. When he reaches the later stage of Demon King, Master will at least be a Great Demon King. In a sense, Master is … "
Royce shrugged and didn't continue. Arux, who was drinking on the sofa, suddenly said tacitly, "Monster."
The people around nodded unanimously. Seeing that even Athena was following the trend, Chen Rui was even more speechless.
Soon, 2 shadows with flapping wings rose in the night sky and flew out of the city quickly.
After arriving at the blue lake, Chen Rui found Paglio.
Paglio looked at Athena who came with him and grinned, "Not bad, you brought your family this time."
As soon as this was said, Athena, who originally had a grudge against the poison dragon for deceiving and poisoning, suddenly blushed. The resentment in her heart suddenly dissipated by half.
The poison dragon added another sentence, "If Chen Rui dares to bully you, tell me. I will help you beat him up. I will teach you how to converge your breath and control your combat power later. "
Athena's affection for the poison dragon skyrocketed, from "average" to "friendly".
Chen Rui gave the poison dragon a middle finger in disdain: Isn't he just looking for a reason to bully me? I can only coax this silly girl, Athena.
Paglio took the wine thrown by Chen Rui and asked, "What's the matter for the two of you to come here today?"
Chen Rui pulled Athena who was a little reserved to sit down, "I'm now the sheriff of the Dark Moon City. You better behave yourself, otherwise I don't mind giving you the title of a dragon slayer warrior."
Paglio glanced at him disdainfully, "Unless you commit suicide, you can't even hurt a single scale of mine."
Athena was a little surprised at the casual conversation between the two at first, especially Paglio. He didn't have the arrogance of the legendary Dragons at all. Instead, he was like some kind of "mutated creature" that Chen Rui mentioned.
Slowly, Athena, who had a generous personality, also got used to this atmosphere. She interjected from time to time, which seemed very harmonious.
"By the way, how's your mental cultivation?"
"I have completed the first step. Although I don't have much time left, I have full confidence because I have Athena's support." Chen Rui glanced at Athena and gave her a reassuring smile.
"A guy who values love over friendship!" The poison dragon said with dissatisfaction, "After the seal is lifted, I will bring a dozen female dragons to fly back and forth dozens of times above your house! I'll envy you to death! "
"A dozen 'female'? And 'envy me to death'? Bah! I won't be envious even if I die! " Chen Rui glanced at the poison dragon with disdain. He showed off the intimate state of interlocking fingers with Athena. "What's more, you can't even find a female lizard now."
Athena shyly withdrew her hand and rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Rui made a few jokes and said, "By the way, I plan to go to the Silent Night Wetland after a while. Now that I'm already a Demon King, the Silent Night Wetland also has the help of wyverns. It's time to help you unlock the < Lock of Light and Dark >."
Paglio frowned, "Let's wait until you pass the mental cultivation. I've been sleeping for thousands of years anyway, so I don't have to worry about this time."
"No need, my current [Refined Mind] … isn't enough to rely on meditation. I need to slowly comprehend it in life. I can't rush it. Moreover, in less than a month, your Dragon Inscription will decline intermittently. At that time, two friends will go to find the treasure. It will be troublesome if the self-destruction inscription is triggered. I've already made an appointment with those two friends to go together. At that time, I'll act according to the situation. I'll just return one thing that the friend needs to her, and I won't expose your treasure. However, speaking of which, you robbed a lot of things back then. Other than that friend, the Eye of Sauron seems to be a tauren's secret treasure? "
Paglio didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he seemed very proud, "Of course. Don't underestimate the Dragons' ability to accumulate wealth. In the future, when I unlock all the seals, I can take you to plunder …"
This guy, is that all you've got? Chen Rui shook his head helplessly.
"If I use the Eye of Sauron to unlock your seal, this secret treasure shouldn't be damaged, right?"
"No, I'm just borrowing the spirit power of the Eye of Sauron to shake the < Lock of Light and Dark >." The poison dragon showed an indifferent expression, "If you want it, I can give it to you, but you have to exchange it with other treasures!"
"Stingy guy! By the way, do you have requiem fruit in your treasure? "
"Do you think I'm a gardener? What's more, that thing is very rare. The growing conditions are harsh, so I don't know where to find it … "
At this time, Athena interjected, "Chen Rui, the two friends you mentioned to go to the Silent Night Wetland are Delia and Lomont, right? I haven't seen Delia for a long time. This time, you must take me to the Silent Night Wetland! "
"No, there are dangerous Dragon Inscriptions everywhere. Besides, even Paglio himself doesn't remember how many traps he set." Chen Rui shook his head firmly, "I alone am enough. You stay in the Dark Moon City."
Athena thought of the scene of obtaining the devil fruit in the black rainforest, and her mood suddenly dropped, "You're afraid that I'll drag you down."
"What are you talking about? You're my woman. How can you be a drag? " Chen Rui held Athena's hand, "It's just that Delia once told me that if you go to the Silent Night Wetland, she will really break off with you. Besides, you have a more important thing to help me. No one can do it except you. "
Athena blushed and wanted to break free, but she was held tightly by Chen Rui. The poison dragon didn't realize that he was a third wheel at all. He looked at the two intimate people with interest.
Finally, Athena's mood was calmed down. She asked, "What is it?"
Chen Rui shrugged and kissed the back of her hand, "As the sheriff's future wife, you have the right and obligation to exercise the sheriff's authority."
When Athena heard the word "wife", she felt sweet in her heart. However, she was even more embarrassed by his showing off in front of the poison dragon. She almost threw him over her shoulder.
However, there was a third wheel dragon next to them who added an inappropriate sentence, "You guys continue. Just pretend that I don't exist."
