This sudden incident finally came to an end. When the Karon Family members of the Dark Moon learned of Eren's death, it was inevitable that there was a commotion. Isabella took Sergey back to the Royal Inn to recuperate and reported the incident to the capital overnight. The most "innocent" victim, Chen Rui, was escorted back to the lab to recuperate.
There were too many witnesses to this incident, so it was impossible to block the news. Sure enough, the next day, the news that Eren was killed by Sergey from the capital because of jealousy spread all over the city. The streets and alleys were discussing the gossip of this "crime of passion".
The only one who was indifferent to this was Master Tata. The dark goblin master only cared about one thing now, which was the two stones in his hand. The red one was a firestone, and the white one was a mithril. These two were relatively common magic materials, but Tata had never seen firestone and mithril of such high purity. This kind of pure material was even enough to make legendary grade magic tools!
For a true Master, Legendary-grade equipment did not necessarily require the highest grade of materials. As long as it was used properly, it could be more magical with some ordinary materials. However, no matter what material it was, the higher the quality, the better.
This firestone was sold to Tata by a dark goblin peddler wearing a cloak two days ago. The price was very low. The peddler said that there would be new goods arriving the next day. Sure enough, Tata bought mithril without impurities there yesterday. According to the peddler, the updated goods would arrive at noon today, but if Tata wanted to see it, he could only come alone. The location was at the entrance of No. 4 Alley in the southeast block.
Tata, who got the treasure, didn't have too many concerns about it. He was a mutated dark goblin, and his own strength was at the later stage of Intermediate Demon. His magic wasn't weak, and as a mechanic master who was proficient in making accessories, he naturally had a lot of life-saving gadgets.
As for the matter of Eren and Sergey, the dark goblin master was too lazy to care about it. He didn't belong to the Fallen Angel Empire, so he didn't have the energy to care about these boring things. He was just looking forward to the arrival of noon.
Isabella came to the lab to visit the "injured" Sheriff Chen Rui. In fact, Sergey was the most injured. Fortunately, Master Kemp's potions were very effective. The injury of the "main character and main culprit of the crime of passion" had completely stabilized.
"Chen Rui, are you alright? Why isn't Athena taking care of you? "
Chen Rui shook his head. "I'm fine. I was just knocked unconscious yesterday. I don't need anyone to take care of me. She went to the barracks early in the morning."
Isabella asked again, "Where's your succubus maid?"
"You mean Kia? She was originally the little princess's maid, and now she is being pulled to the Princess Retail Store to help. "
"I see. No wonder I saw her in the Princess Retail Store yesterday morning." Isabella smiled slightly, "How's my suggestion?"
Chen Rui smiled bitterly. "The time given by the Madam is too short. Last night, as soon as I left the Royal Inn, I was ambushed. I still haven't calmed down yet."
"It's not that I don't want to give you time, but I don't have time anymore." Isabella shook her head. "You should be able to guess how serious the consequences of yesterday's incident were. Now Eren's father is crying to the Regent King, proposing to severely punish the murderer, Sergey, who cut off the Karon Family's bloodline. I have received orders to return to the capital in advance. I will leave tomorrow at the latest. So, I need you to give me an answer. This answer is very important to you and me. "
The sooner I leave, the better! Chen Rui muttered secretly. Yesterday's drama was naturally directed by him. At first, the person Sergey saw lying on the ground was indeed him, but then it became Eren. As for the "Eren" Sergey saw, it was Chen Rui in disguise. Sergey "cooperatively" released his flying sword and used smoke to escape.
Since the other party was so cooperative, Chen Rui certainly wouldn't miss the time to do something. He stabbed the sword into Eren's heart, then he lay down and pretended to be unconscious.
As for Salador being made into a puppet by Chen Rui with the "God-Eating Mask", including the final "tragic" suicide, they were all under his control. Sergey was even more unable to defend himself when there was no evidence. In fact, even Sergey himself believed that Eren was the culprit. However, the power of the "God-Eating Mask" was really terrifying. Salador died without hesitation.
Initially, Chen Rui could control Salador to kill Sergey and get rid of Sergey and Eren at the same time, but he changed his mind at the last minute. Because in this way, the Rus Family and the Doron Family were likely to vent their anger on the "bane", Athena, and focus their attention on the Dark Moon. Keeping Sergey alive would not only divert the trouble to others, but the "murderer getting away with murder" would also increase the conflict between the two parties.
The layout this time was purely using Eren's conspiracy. The whole plan was carried out by the Karon Family. Even Isabella didn't notice the flaws.
Chen Rui looked regretful, "I'm sorry. It's because of yesterday's incident that I can't give you a satisfactory answer. The Karon Family and the Rus Family will definitely turn against each other. If I go to the capital, I will most likely become the target of anger. Just Sergey alone won't let me go. I'm a human without any background and power. Even with your help, it's difficult to save my life. I'd rather stay in the Dark Moon for the time being. If it really doesn't work, I will escape from the Fallen Angel Empire with Athena and go to the Shadow Empire or the Bloody Empire. In this way, even her father can't separate us. "
Isabella looked disappointed, but she was secretly annoyed. I didn't expect last night's incident to make this human determined not to go to the capital. Eren of the Karon Family really deserves to die! She had secretly arrested and interrogated the confidants of the Karon Family sent by Eren to lure Princess Royal and her. Sure enough, the confession was consistent. This matter could basically be concluded.
What was even more unexpected was that this Chen Rui actually had the idea of eloping with Athena. It seemed that telling him that Sergey spread the news in the Warlock Fortress yesterday was a trap of his own making.
Chen Rui sighed, "I'm sorry, madam. I'll remember your kindness. If there's a chance in the future, I will go to the capital to see you."
"It's not your fault. Things are changing too fast." Isabella also sighed and stood up. Her left eye flashed, and she combed a strand of long hair, "You rest well. I'll leave first."
At the same time as Isabella made this small movement, Chen Rui suddenly had a warning sign. He felt a few subtle forces approaching his body. This kind of force was almost undetectable. If Chen Rui hadn't reached the level of Alioth state, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. With a quick thought, he didn't resist and let this force penetrate into his body.
"I'll send you off, madam."
"No need." Isabella nodded to Chen Rui and turned away.
As soon as Isabella left, Chen Rui immediately used his power to investigate the abnormality just now. Those few subtle forces were equivalent to buried "seeds". They only needed to be triggered by a certain special force to be activated.
Although this kind of power couldn't cause any harm to Chen Rui who was in the Alioth state, if he was really the powerless human, then once the "seeds" were triggered, he would definitely be smashed into pieces.
Chen Rui thought about how he refused the invitation to go to the capital in this "last resort" situation, and he had the intention to leave the Dark Moon with Athena. He didn't expect that he was actually attacked by Isabella.
If I don't use them, I'll kill them! What a ruthless and decisive woman. What a Devil's Snare Flower!
These "seeds" should be controlled by Isabella. They were triggered after she left the Dark Moon, so it was likely that there was some kind of reaction. Chen Rui didn't try to eliminate the "seeds". He quickly transformed into Aguile and went to the ancient house. There, a master should be hooked soon.
When he came to the ancient house, the old dwarf, Didi, immediately greeted him, "Master!"
"How is it?"
"That master is in the backyard now, but …"
"I came a little late because of some things. Is Master Xingxing impatient?"
The old dwarf, Didi, showed a strange look, "No …"
Chen Rui didn't bother with the old dwarf anymore and walked straight to the backyard.
Before he reached the backyard, he heard someone talking and cheering.
"This is a color-changing cloak, but due to material and craftsmanship problems, it can only change the color of the cover according to the environment. It can't hide from the Great Demon King's senses."
Sparse applause came.
"Ms. Sasa, you can't touch that. It will explode!"
"…"
When Chen Rui walked into the backyard, he saw Master Xingxing wearing a cloak and holding a lot of gadgets in his hand. Next to him were Skye's two daughters, Eve and Alian, and the old dwarf's daughter, Sasa.
Every time Master Xingxing performed something, the three girls applauded and cheered. In the distance on the recliner was the sickly Skye. He seemed to be asleep and didn't pay attention to the situation here.
When did the master who only focused on magic materials become a juggler?
Those performing things were not ordinary items. They were at least excellent grade magic items!
However, Chen Rui could see that Master Xingxing's focus was still on Ms. Sasa. He was showing off a lot.
"It's Sir Aguile!" The sharp-eyed Alian found Chen Rui and ran over happily.
Although this dark elf girl was cursed, she had always been very optimistic, which was the opposite of the melancholic Eve. Chen Rui liked this little sister-like girl very much. He brought her some toys from time to time.
"Are you feeling better recently?" Chen Rui touched Alian's head.
After Chen Rui saved the father and daughter trio last time, Alian's favorable impression of this masked man had greatly increased. She was no longer as afraid as before. She nodded, and her pure eyes showed cleverness and joy, "I'm much better. Thank you sir for the potion!"
Looking at the girl's pure eyes, Chen Rui suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart. He could obviously cure her, but he delayed it for his own purpose. He made a decision in an instant.
"I have brought back what you need most. From now on, you and Eve will no longer have to suffer the pain of that curse."
Alian's big eyes showed surprise. Eve also heard this and slowly stood up. Her eyes were full of disbelief. The dark elf, Skye, who had been pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and burst into light. He appeared in front of Chen Rui in an instant. His voice trembled a little, "You really got it?"
A bottle appeared in Chen Rui's hand. It was the magic bottle that Skye gave him. It was filled with transparent liquid.
Skye opened the bottle, sniffed it carefully, took out a straw, dipped a few drops in it, and placed it on the withered grass in the yard. The withered grass actually began to grow a little green bud at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was rejuvenated.
Chen Rui himself was a little surprised. He didn't expect the fountain of life to have this effect.
"It really is this kind of spring water!" Skye yelled excitedly.
The goblin master on the side was also attracted over. He looked at the withered grass carefully and was moved, "The fountain of life?"
