The next day, the inner city of the Shadow Empire, the palace.
Chen Rui wore a master-level mechanic robe with a gold-rimmed double moon badge on his chest. He came to the front of the palace and handed the pass token given by Catherine the Great to the guards at the gate.
The guards showed considerable respect to the Demon Realm's first trio-specialized mechanic master in 10,000 years. After receiving the pass token, a veiled maid led Chen Rui into the palace.
The palace, which symbolized the highest authority of the Shadow Empire, wasn't as luxurious as he imagined. The overall feeling was simple yet magnificent. Exquisite art could be seen in the details.
The scale of the palace was quite large, and there was a rather complicated maze. It was far from the small palace of the Dark Moon. The maid led Chen Rui to turn left and right. After nearly an hour, they finally walked to a secluded courtyard.
"Master, please come in. The noblewoman will be here soon." The maid bowed and retreated.
Chen Rui composed himself and walked into the courtyard.
It was a quiet courtyard. There were many plants and trees that looked green. Perhaps due to the influence of Nirvana's power, these plants were much more luxuriant than usual. Chen Rui gently stroked the trees. He thought of the Nirvana's Flame on his body, the fiery blood that merged into his body at that time, and another kind of fusion in the tent …
On the way to the Silent Night Wetland, the talent and temperament of the "noblewoman" had begun to faintly attract him. Later, the sudden incident at the Wyvern's Lair made their relationship skip the process and go straight to the end. Chen Rui admitted that he was a superficial man. Christina's perfect appearance and body couldn't help but tempt him. In order to protect the woman who was tempted and also his first woman, Chen Rui went against the Demon Emperor-level Broc. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed impulsive. (Blinded by lust?)
On the brink of death, Christina, who was supposed to kill him, accidentally gave him her precious Nirvana's Blood. Perhaps it was just an impulse, but that red piccolo remained in Chen Rui's heart.
Every time his body ignited with the Nirvana's Flame, he couldn't help but think of her. The woman who claimed that they owed each other nothing and would kill him the next time. He wanted to see her again.
Now that this wish was about to come true, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Anticipation, uneasiness, apprehension … There were no words that could accurately describe these feelings.
Race: Lust Royalty (Mutated) Comprehensive Strength Assessment: A.
Constitution: A, Strength: A, Spirit: A, Dexterity: A
The data that suddenly appeared in < Analytical Eyes > made Chen Rui's hand tremble, and he slowly turned around.
There was one more person in the courtyard.
She was still dressed in a classical robe. Her figure was perfectly proportioned, and her long black hair was tied up in a bun. Her face was covered by a veil, and she gave off a noble and mysterious aura.
It was indeed her.
Chen Rui felt that his heartbeat was accelerating. He suppressed his agitated mind, turned around, and bowed slightly, "Are you Lady Christina? I'm Arthur. A friend entrusted me to bring something to you. "
Christina didn't speak. She just looked at him quietly. The serene gaze behind the veil seemed to see through his disguise.
Chen Rui was a little nervous inexplicably. He immediately took out a few bottles of potions from the storage ring and placed them on the stone table beside him.
"These four bottles are Eternal potions. You must consume all of them. There will be additional special effects. This bottle is Resurrection Potion, and this bottle is Longevity Potion. "
These six bottles of black potions represented the highest pharmaceutics achievement. It was enough to shock the entire Demon Realm. Christina just glanced at them faintly, then her eyes fell back on Chen Rui.
After a long time, she finally spoke. It was still the same calm as in his memory, "Is there eternity in the world?"
This question stunned Chen Rui. As he was trying to figure out the intention of her question, Christina's voice sounded again, "Answer me seriously."
Chen Rui thought about it and replied, "As far as I know, even the bright stars or the two moons of the Demon Realm will be annihilated one day. Whether it's a thousand years or ten thousand years of life, it's actually just a moment. It's precisely because there is no eternity that we should cherish the moment more. "
"Fleeting Beauty." Christina nodded slightly, implying the artistic conception of his legendary grade bracelet, "The fleeting beauty of life is so short. As time goes by, even the immortal existence will eventually decay and fly into ashes. It's the same no matter how profound the memories are. Do you understand?"
Chen Rui frowned and said, "Lady Christina's words are very reasonable, but … I still don't quite understand."
"You should understand." Christina looked straight at him deeply, "Some things you think you can't forget, but one day, they will be forgotten in the process of you not forgetting them. Even if you don't understand now, you will understand in the future. "
Chen Rui sighed, "Some things … can't be taken away by time. Even if life is annihilated, the imprint still exists."
"Persistence used in the wrong place … is just stupidity. It seems that your stupidity is incurable." Christina shook her head, "So you came here today, are you already aware of death?"
"My disguise is really a failure." How could Chen Rui not know that his identity had been seen through by Christina? He smiled bitterly, "It seems that no matter what image I use, I can't get rid of the adjective 'stupidity'."
As soon as he finished speaking, a faint murderous aura had surrounded him. Although the breath was very faint, the terrifying power contained in it made him almost unable to move.
Christina's voice became cold, "Stupidity is the biggest reason for your death. For the sake of the black potions, I'll give you time to say your last words."
Chen Rui didn't panic. This was thanks to the test of Princess Royal's murderous intent in the Dark Moon City. Although Christina's murderous aura was terrifying, Chen Rui, who was "battle-hardened", keenly felt that the murderous intent wasn't particularly strong. Otherwise, when she first recognized him, she would have struck him like lightning. It was impossible to talk nonsense with him for so long.
Chen Rui wouldn't be narcissistic enough to think that he conquered Christina with a few sex sessions last time, or that she fell in love with him wholeheartedly.
There must be a lot of concerns that this noblewoman couldn't kill him. For example, the identity of a trio-specialized mechanic master who had joined the Shadow Empire's Mechanic Association; for example, the highest level of black potions; for example, Master "Arthur" was publicly approved by the empress to enter the palace. If there was any accident, it would be hard to explain to the public or the empress, etc. There might also be some other reasons that he was looking forward to.
Although this murderous aura was loud but small, if one was unlucky, he might be struck by lightning. It was said that Li Yuanba, that kid, complained to the sky, and in the end, he was struck by lightning. Even though this story was purely fictional, he had to be careful. If he copied lines like "There was once a sincere love in front of me", he was afraid that it would really become his last words.
"I thought that I was enough to make the Demon Realm tremble, so I came to the Shadow Empire to see you. Unfortunately, it's still not enough. "
Chen Rui's seemingly random words made Christina's murderous intent fluctuate slightly. Because in the Silent Night Wetland, he once said that he would bring the power that would make the entire Demon Realm tremble to the Dark Shadow Empire and take her away.
At that time, she only thought that he was bragging after getting a bargain, but now … this man really made the Demon Realm tremble. Not only is he a trio-specialized mechanic master that's hard to come by in 10,000 years, he also has the lost grand master-level black potion, and it's the highest level!
He deliberately showed off in this mechanic contest and even made a request to the Empress in front of everyone just to see her?
Also, he "passed" six bottles of precious black potions to her?
Sure enough, he's still that stupid guy.
"Although I don't know where your black potions came from …" These were not enough to affect Christina's will, and her calm eyes still didn't change at all, "But … even if you become a real grand master, it's still not enough to change some things, unless …"
"Unless I have power? In your eyes … there's only power? "Chen Rui couldn't help but ask. It was a question from the bottom of his heart.
"It's not that there's only power in my eyes, but there must be power in my eyes!" Christina's tone was extremely firm, "Have you seen the scene of countless homes being destroyed by the war? In just a moment, the prosperous and beautiful homes became thousands of miles of scorched land. The people were displaced and homeless! Have you ever heard the cries of countless civilians in the midst of slaughter? The death scythe of war ignored the cries and prayers of the blood and mercilessly harvested a large number of innocent lives! I have personally experienced this scene of blood and crying as if it was yesterday! Now, the Shadow Empire is increasingly prosperous, and the people live and work in peace. If there's no power, how can we maintain this hard-won peace and tranquility? "
The more Christina spoke, the more imposing she became. In the [Analytical Eyes], the values began to change. Comprehensive strength: A … A + … Unable to judge.
She really is a Demon Overlord!
"If your obsession is to protect a certain woman or a few women, then my obsession is to protect thousands of people with various obsessions and dreams, to protect their dreams and obsessions. This is my biggest obsession. Compared to this, everything else becomes insignificant. Do you understand? "
Chen Rui stared at Christina as if it was the first time he looked at this woman so seriously. Christina and Jía were actually very similar. The difference was that Christina's obsession was stronger, her faith was firmer and unshakable.
Power was born for responsibility.
It wasn't pure responsibility, but true obsession. In this regard, Jía couldn't be compared.
For this obsession, she must have sacrificed a lot and given up a lot.
A sudden strange emotion had somehow replaced the originally thought lines. Chen Rui suddenly smiled and ignored the murderous intent, "I understand, it turns out that you're also a stupid woman."
If it was Jía, she would definitely scold him for being rude. Christina just glanced at him faintly and didn't deny it, "It's good that you understand, but my stupidity is different from yours."
"It's essentially the same." Chen Rui shrugged, "I initially thought that this trip was a bit impulsive, but now it seems that it's worth it."
Christina originally said so much to tell him that it was impossible for the two of them. She frowned when she heard that, "Stubborn guy, do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
"I really didn't do enough, far from enough. So I can't die … I can only beg for mercy. "Chen Rui's confident smile didn't show the slightest fear or begging for mercy," There is an important information that should allow me to save my last words for the next time. "
Christina ignored his little language trick and asked, "What information?"
"Can you disperse the murderous intent first? It's too uncomfortable to talk like this. "
"Just say it like this!"
She was suspected of deliberately pranking him. It must be "revenge", but it was more or less like a little woman.
