Mountain Xilang, mining office.
Tim carefully looked at the scout report presented by the family guard, Bill.
Just a few nights ago, a scout came to report that a large number of demonic beasts were flying in the air. It seemed that their foothold was somewhere in Mountain Xilang. After he sent out many scouts, reports about wyverns came one after another.
Bill asked carefully, "Sir, do you want to report this to the Dark Moon City?"
Tim thought that Chen Rui's mount was wyverns, and there were several of them. He changed his mind, "Not for the time being. Tell the scouts to keep this a secret and don't act rashly."
Bill nodded, turned away and closed the door.
"Good job. Tim. "
There was a voice in the room suddenly.
Tim didn't feel someone coming in just now, so he was taken aback. However, he already recognized the voice was Chen Rui's, so he quickly stood up.
"Master, you're finally back." Tim bowed and asked tentatively, "From master's tone, those wyverns …"
Chen Rui nodded, "You're very smart. If everything goes well, the Dark Moon will soon realize the vision of the Dragon Rider Legion. However, before that, we must not leak any information!"
Dragon Rider Legion!
Not a small team, but a legion!
Tim looked shocked. Wyverns weren't the regular aerial griffin, but they were the strongest aerial demonic beasts in the war other than dragons and other super demonic beasts. Even the capital of the Fallen Angel Empire only had one Dragon Rider Legion, which was directly under Prince Obsidian himself!
"Tim understands. Master's ability … is really incredible." Tim sighed sincerely, "By the way, there is another news to report to master. The capital's Karon Family's patriarch, Legu, resigned to Regent Obsidian due to the death of his only son, Alan. Obsidian rejected Legu's resignation and personally went to appease him. In order to appease the anger of the Karon Family, Obsidian revoked Sergey's position as the deputy commander of the Red Devil Legion and ordered him to reflect behind closed doors. He also took back part of the military power of Sergey's father, the second general of the empire, and handed it to Karon Family's representative in the military, Zoff. In addition, the Dark Moon Estate was also implicated. The crime was not only that they couldn't find the trace of the Beelzebub Royal Family, but such a thing also happened. As punishment, starting from next month, the food aid provided by the Red Spirit Estate will be halved. "
Chen Rui frowned: When Isabella arrived, she wanted to sanction the Dark Moon's food aid in the name of tracking down the Beelzebub Royal Family. Later, he fooled her with a joke. Then, Sergey and Eren's "crime of passion" incident happened. Her attention was diverted again, so she hurriedly returned to the capital. Unexpectedly, in the end, this crime was woven, and the Dark Moon was brutally punished without any bloodshed.
If the food aid was reduced by half before the establishment of the food base, then the Dark Moon would inevitably have a large-scale famine. At that time, the people's hearts would be shaken, and the people would be full of grievances. Even if Jía had extraordinary talents, she would not be able to stabilize the situation.
Now that the food base had been successfully established, even without the food aid from the Red Spirit Estate, it was not a problem for the Dark Moon to deal with this sanction. However, in this way, the food base might be exposed, and it would further attract the capital's attention.
Chen Rui thought for a while and turned his gaze to Tim, "Tim, what do you think about this matter?"
"Master, you know that my father secretly built a ranch and successfully bred high-yielding meat animals. As for crops, master also revealed the food base to me. Then it is not difficult for the Dark Moon to overcome this difficulty with its own strength. The key is that our military and economic power are only at the initial stage of construction. We can't expose our strength, and we can't let the capital focus on the Dark Moon. I think we can consider using the west passage to strengthen the trade with the Shadow Empire in exchange for food. At least it can play a cover-up role. The Fallen Angel Empire is the weakest among the three empires. Prince Obsidian can't control the will of the Shadow Empire. "
Chen Rui nodded. Tim had the same idea as him. Even if there was no food problem, the west passage should be used as soon as possible. It was particularly important for the recovery of the Dark Moon's economy.
"I think so too. In order to prevent the harassment that the Red Spirit Estate may use at that time, your defense team training should be stepped up to ensure the safety of the west." Chen Rui patted Tim's shoulder, "If necessary, you can use the power of medusa and taurens. As for the earth elementals, the king has fallen into a long sleep. He is now helping to mine the underground mineral resources. Don't disturb them unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Yes, master." Tim thought of something and asked, "Didn't master say that the taurens are cursed and can't leave the underground world?"
Chen Rui smiled confidently, "After I return to the Dark Moon City this time, I should be able to solve the taurens' problem when I come here again …"
Paglio said that he had to use the spirit power of the Eye of Sauron to shake the [Lock of Light and Dark]. After using it, the [Eye of Sauron] would not be damaged. However, Chief Tauren did not say whether the function of the [Eye of Sauron] would be affected after using the [Eye of Sauron] to lift the curse. If he couldn't lift the [Lock of Light and Dark] at that time, it would not be worth it.
Chen Rui was not a saint, so he naturally had his own selfish motives. He was more or less biased towards the poison dragon who had a symbiotic contract with him. Besides, after lifting Paglio's [Lock of Light and Dark], he could still help the taurens. It was just that he had to wait a few more days, so it didn't have much of an impact.
Chen Rui had successfully met with the Wyvern King and made temporary arrangements for the wyvern group. The climate in Mountain Xilang was relatively cold, which was not suitable for the survival of wyverns. In contrast, the climate of the black rainforest and the Silent Night Wetland were more similar, but for now, it was better to inform Jía first.
Chen Rui asked Tim to recall the scouts and strictly keep the secret of wyverns. Then, he took Delia and Lomont to the direction of the Dark Moon City on the wyvern.
About two days later, the three arrived at the blue lake. Chen Rui jumped off the wyvern excitedly and shouted, "A bored guy, come out quickly!"
In the blink of an eye, the poison dragon's figure appeared in front of Chen Rui. He didn't ask about the origin of Delia and Lomont, but he asked with anticipation, "Did you get the thing!"
"Take a guess?" Chen Rui took out the Eye of Sauron proudly and flashed it in front of the poison dragon. Suddenly, he felt that his hand was light. Paglio had snatched it away.
Paglio looked at the Eye of Sauron in his hand, and his body trembled slightly. He said a sentence, "Wait for me here!"
After that, his figure flashed a few times and appeared at the blue lake. He plunged into the lake.
Before coming to the blue lake, Chen Rui only said that he was going to meet an important friend, but he didn't explain Paglio's identity. Lomont, who had always been proud of his speed, was taken aback when he saw Paglio's speed just now. This person was far better than him in terms of speed and strength. Even the Great Demon King Casillas or Akui, whom he had fought before, couldn't be compared with him. Chen Rui actually had such a powerful friend, and it seemed that their friendship wasn't shallow.
After a while, the originally calm blue lake began to churn, and there was a faint light coming out. Soon, the deep blue lake was dyed golden yellow, then it became black and white, constantly changing. A powerful wave repelled both sides, and the nearby ground was also constantly shaking. The three Demon King level wyverns behind Chen Rui seemed nervous and anxious. If it weren't for Chen Rui using [Analytical Eyes] to calm them, they would have flown away in shock.
As time passed, the trembling and waves finally ended, and the lake returned to calmness. Just when Chen Rui was a little worried, a huge whirlpool appeared in the lake. With a "splash" sound, a huge body rose from the water. It was a giant dragon with a length of tens of meters. It had a pair of huge bat wings on its back. Its whole body was yellowish-brown, and its scales faintly emitted a metallic luster. It looked ferocious with a single horn on its head, fin-like things on its cheeks, and its dark golden vertical pupils flashing a frightening cold light.
The soaring giant dragon made an excited hiss, exuding an indescribable power. The three wyverns all looked fearful and crouched on the ground, not daring to move. Dodo curled up in his backpack. He thought of the "misdeed" of devouring a dragon back then. He was afraid that his kin would take revenge, so he covered his eyes and trembled in fear.
Delia and Lomont also looked strenuous, and they all channeled their strength to resist. Only Chen Rui was not affected by the Dragon's Demeanor under the effect of the symbiotic contract.
The Dragon's Demeanor gradually disappeared, and the huge body quickly shrank and changed in the air. When it landed, it had returned to Paglio's human form.
"Haha!" Paglio's wild laughter resounded throughout the blue lake, "Damn < Lock of Light and Dark >! Damn Midnight Sun! Now Sir Paglio can finally leave this damn place! "
Hearing this name, Lomont and Delia finally understood who the "old friend" Chen Rui mentioned was. This Dragon should be the real owner of the Silent Night Wetland's treasure, the super narcissist who claimed to be "the most handsome, chic, and admired by female dragons".
After Paglio laughed for ten minutes, Chen Rui only felt his ears buzzing. He finally couldn't bear it and protested, "Enough, Paglio, stop laughing!"
"Hehe …" Paglio gradually recovered from his extreme excitement. He took a deep breath and looked intoxicated, "This free air is really wonderful. It seems that the contract with you back then was the best decision! By the way, did you get my treasure as well? "
"It's' my 'treasure!" Chen Rui emphasized impatiently, "There was actually a Demon Emperor-level corpse necromancer in that treasure. It almost killed me!"
"Impossible! I remember that I seemed to have killed a guy in the fountain of vitality, then I sealed that place. That guy was already dead, so he couldn't have become a corpse necromancer right! "
"He used a secret technique to fake his death! You were still a Demon Overlord at that time. I'm afraid you damaged your brain by training! You didn't even notice this! " Chen Rui sneered unceremoniously, then he suddenly reacted, "Paglio, how do you remember so clearly? Did your memory become better?"
Paglio also realized it himself and slapped his head, "[Lock of Light and Dark], it must be the effect of [Lock of Light and Dark]!"
For Paglio, these two thousand years were just like a nap. There was no reason for his memory to deteriorate significantly. Now that he thought about it, it turned out to be this reason.
"No!" Chen Rui was happy for the poison dragon, but he said, "The risk this time is far beyond the expectation. I have to readjust the distribution of the treasure! You get 20 and I get 80! "
"What? 20 and 80! You are even greedier than 10 dragons combined! You might as well slay the dragon directly! "
Delia and Lomont were dumbfounded as they watched sir leader and this powerful Dragons start a war of words. Even Delia, who was a woman, couldn't help but feel ashamed at the kind of bargaining.
In the end, the ratio was fixed at 5.1 to 4.9. Although it was only an increase of 0.1, it was already a very good result for a stingy Dragons who loved money as much as his life.
Chen Rui introduced Lomont and Delia to Paglio. Paglio didn't greet them, but he nodded casually. Delia and Paglio weren't bothered by this. The arrogance of the Dragons was well known. Moreover, the power gap between the two sides was huge. It was already very polite for him to be like this. Not everyone was as perverted as Chen Rui.
"Paglio, now that the < Lock of Light and Dark > has been lifted, how is your strength recovering?"
"I'm just at the early stage of the Demon Emperor now." Paglio frowned, "With the effect of the potions you gave me last time, I may recover to the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor after a while, but if I don't unlock the ancient runes, I can only stay in the Demon Emperor realm for the rest of my life. By the way, have you found the second thing? "
Chen Rui nodded, took out the silver box from the backpack behind him, and handed it to Paglio.
Paglio's eyes lit up. He carefully took the box and touched it for a while, but he didn't open it.
"It should be this box. After opening it, there is a strange breath that can quickly devour people's vitality, and it can also suppress the power of the royal family to a great extent. As long as I have it, I won't be afraid even if I encounter a powerful royal family in the future. "
"What! You opened it? "Paglio was taken aback.
After listening to Chen Rui's story, the poison dragon showed a solemn expression, "The thing in this box is no trivial matter. Even I didn't dare to touch it back then. If you don't want to cause trouble, you must not open it again!"
It was the first time that Chen Rui saw Paglio being so serious. Recalling the discomfort when he opened it for the second time and the fact that the poison dragon was sealed by a mysterious powerhouse back then, he put away his joking thoughts and nodded.
"The mystery of the box, when your strength reaches the Demon Overlord level in the future, you may be qualified to know some things." Paglio said sternly, "I know that you can control the Fountain of Vitality. That Fountain of Vitality must have been kept away by you with a secret technique. You have to find a place to soak the box in the Fountain of Vitality or the Fountain of Vitality. Promise me that you won't touch it again until you find Rolla! "
I have to reach the Demon Overlord level to know the secret of the box? Chen Rui initially wanted to use [Deep Analysis] to try the silver box, but he was secretly shocked when he heard that and dispelled the idea.
As for the place to bury the silver box, he could choose the Tauren or Earth Elementals' Fountain of Vitality in the underground world of Mountain Xilang. He could also entrust them to help guard it.
"Got it."
"It's good that you understand. Let's not talk about this." The poison dragon stretched his muscles and bones, "Let's go. I don't want to stay in this damn place with calluses on my butt for a moment."
