Chen Rui had to endure the pressure while he said, "In order to participate in the mechanic contest this time, I accepted the invitation of the Custer Family's young master, Dior, and became a participant in the Custer Family's heir game. However, I unexpectedly found some interesting things …"
He didn't disclose the information related to Kia and the Dark Moon. Instead, he selectively told her about the Beelzebub Royal Family, including the speculations about Broc. Christina listened carefully. Although she couldn't see the expression on her face, she could feel that her eyes were getting more and more serious.
After listening to Chen Rui's narration, Christina pondered and said, "I've heard Her Majesty mention this before. She also found a lot of relevant clues, but she never had a specific clue. Now that you mentioned the Demon Overlord-level powerhouse of the Beelzebub Royal Family, these clues can basically be connected together. Your speculation is right. Broc and the Beelzebub Royal Family should be accomplices."
Chen Rui asked, "Can we uproot Broc?"
Christina shook her head, "Broc is cunning by nature. He never leaves a weakness easily. He's the son-in-law of my uncle, Prince Florence, the first general of the empire. Not only is he very prestigious in the army, but his power in the empire is also complicated. It's difficult to completely eradicate him. At least, we can't touch him now. Besides, he should only be an important part of that power, not the whole."
"Hmph, just because she's afraid of Broc, Catherine knew that you were the victim last time, but she still put you under house arrest in the palace for no reason?" Chen Rui was obviously dissatisfied with the first beautiful empress, "What Demon Realm's first sage? He's just so-so!"
There were indeed too many things that a superior had to consider. It was more satisfying to be a chivalrous person who could repay kindness and revenge. Of course, he also understood that things were not that simple. If Broc could be eliminated easily, with Catherine's wisdom and power, how could she keep him alive until now?
"Rude guy, how dare you call Her Majesty's name directly!" Christina knew that Chen Rui complained for her, but she reprimanded him with dissatisfaction. There was a hint of majesty in her voice. The murderous vibe that finally dissipated seemed to have become stronger again.
"She can't hear us anyway." Chen Rui did not fall for it and shrugged. A strange look flashed past Christina's eyes. Fortunately, the veil blocked it, and no one could see it clearly.
"Then … if it were you, how would you deal with this matter?"
"It seems that the noble lady will only give me a better expression when discussing such a big matter … Do you still remember the time when we ate barbecue together …"
"Don't take any chances. Mentioning the past will only make my killing intent uncontrollable." The coldness in Christina's eyes could almost be felt through the veil. "I can put my personal grudges aside. I'm sincerely asking you about this question."
"Peel the silk from the cocoon. First, chop off that guy's branches one by one." Chen Rui knew when to stop. He naturally would not be stingy with his brain to deal with Broc. "Those who support him can use tricks to make their interests conflict; or let the queen show special trust to those people to make them suspicious of each other; Broc has the talent skill of [Spiritual Shackles]. He must have used this skill to control many people, especially some key figures. However, the number of [Spiritual Shackles] that can be controlled is also limited. We can appropriately exaggerate the influence in this aspect and isolate Broc from all aspects …"
Chen Rui spoke with assurance. He had to admit that the military strategy left by the ancestors of another world was indeed extraordinary. Christina's eyes flashed with surprise from time to time.
"Then … what about the army? This is the most important part. Currently, Broc's Blood Blade Army is guarding Jergal Fortress, which is the most important defense base against the Bloody Empire. If we push him too far, the consequences will be unimaginable. "
"It's not that there is no way." Chen Rui pondered, "It depends on whether Empress Catherine has the courage."
"Yes!" Christina immediately blurted out when she heard there was a way. She quickly added, "This is Her Majesty Empress' biggest problem. She has mentioned it in front of me many times. As long as there is a way, I believe she will try it."
"I can tell you." Chen Rui frowned and glanced at Christina, "But you can't reveal to Her Majesty Empress that I said it, including what I said before. Just say that you thought of it yourself … You must use the Royal Ring from last time. Huh, the ring is gone? Then, swear with your family name. "
"Are you sure?" Christina's eyes looked even weirder. After getting an affirmative answer from Chen Rui, she swore.
Chen Rui knew the weight of swearing with the Royal Family name, so he was relieved, "What the Empress is worried about is that the army only knows there is a commander, but not an Empress. Although means such as rewards have a certain effect, it is not a cure. We must firmly grasp the thoughts of the army … that soul in our hands. There are many flaws in the military system that the Demons are used to. We can consider starting from this aspect and reform the military system appropriately … "
His method was actually to copy part of the military system on Earth and add the position of "political commissar". This trick seemed to have been seen in many transmigration novels. Although it was "old-fashioned", it was very feasible.
Of course, it was not called a political commissar here. Chen Rui casually named it as a "spirit officer". On the surface, its responsibility was to listen to the voices of the "grassroots", appease the army's morale, and recruit captives. In fact, it was responsible for instilling various ideological work such as the supremacy of the Empress to the soldiers.
Every 100-man team must be equipped with a spirit officer. The lower level was subordinate to the higher level. The highest level was called the Great Spirit Officer, which was the same level as the commander. In this way, the power of the army was divided. The commander had the right to command the soldiers to fight, but the power was subject to the jurisdiction of the political commissar, which prevented the phenomenon of the commander holding the army for himself.
After Chen Rui finished speaking, Christina gradually recovered from the shock and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, "This military system is very novel. It is certain that it will drive the military system reform of the entire Demon Realm. However, it has to be kept a secret for now. When the time is right, we can use one or two key points to suddenly cut in and promote it to the entire army. By then, even Broc can't do anything. "
"It seems that my life can be saved for the time being." Chen Rui looked relieved.
"You entered the palace as a trio-specialized mechanic master. From the beginning, you knew that I had a lot of scruples, so it would be difficult for me to kill you." Christina stared at him, "Your wisdom and talent are quite outstanding. I'm ashamed of my inferiority. If I have your help, the Shadow Empire will definitely be stronger … "
"Slow down!" Chen Rui interrupted her, "Forget about the recommendation and high officials. I've already joined the Shadow Empire's Mechanic Association, so I'm more or less contributing to the empire. What do you think about the plan I mentioned earlier? If it succeeds, it can severely damage the power of Broc and the Beelzebub Royal Family. "
Christina stared at him for a moment and said, "You should know the risks of this plan. If you decide to die, it saves me the trouble."
Chen Rui accepted her gaze calmly, "I've always been afraid of death. If I'm not confident, I definitely won't die. A Demon Overlord can crush me with one finger. I can't afford to offend him. So, Her Majesty … "
"I have full confidence in Her Majesty. This magic item can manually provide your location. It can also explode to send a signal as the final activation message."
As Christina said, she threw a magic item over and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, you can go now before I change my mind to kill you … Although you're lucky to survive this time, don't underestimate a woman's resentment. You're still on my kill list."
Do you also understand that you're a woman? Chen Rui only kept this sentence in his heart. He said, "Then I really should leave quickly. I don't think I'll come back to die anytime soon."
"Oh, right. I broke your Gold Crystal Shackles last time. Take this cloak as compensation." Chen Rui took out the mermaid cloak 'Longing of the Stars' that he made during the competition and placed it on the table.
Just as he turned to walk towards the door, Christina's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Actually, you should understand that no matter how much you do for me, my persistence will not change."
Chen Rui stood there for a moment, then turned around and answered, "If your persistence is to protect everyone, then my current persistence is only to protect you."
Christina's eyes finally could not keep calm anymore. She snorted coldly, and the courtyard door suddenly closed automatically. A huge repulsive force pushed Chen Rui out of the door. However, the moment the door closed, a golden light flew out.
"When this golden puppet encounters an unbeatable enemy, it can temporarily delay for a period of time, but it can only fight once."
After that sentence, there were no other sounds in the courtyard.
Chen Rui caught the golden light in his hand, smiled, and strode out.
In the yard, Christina stared at the black potion on the table. The unusual emotions that she thought had faded surged into her heart again. Behind that high and mighty throne that looked down upon all life was a weary heart. Although this man's foolish emotions and persistence were far from enough to be called a shelter, she could feel a trace of peace that couldn't be ignored.
Perhaps it was for this reason that she once again softened, which was rare. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to see her this time.
Forget it, those intel and analysis, especially the reform of the military system, are simply unexpected surprises … I'll just take it as a harvest from my occasional soft-heartedness. By the way, speaking of harvest, it seems that it's not just this.
Her white jade-like hand stroked the weightless cloak, and a sentence that the man said in the mechanic contest rang in her ears. She heard it with her own ears.
"The inspiration for this cloak comes from a woman's star-like eyes …"
Behind the veil, the light in the star-like eyes gradually softened, and she gently put the cloak on her body.
Sure enough, it's a warm feeling, just like his persistence.
Shortly after Chen Rui walked out of the courtyard, the palace maid who led the way appeared again. She took him all the way out of the palace and gave him a small bag with a seed in it. It was the flower of mist seed promised by Empress Catherine. He planted the seed in the galaxy garden, and it showed that the maturity period was 10 days. It seemed that there was no problem at all in lifting Skye's curse.
Chen Rui looked at the golden puppet that Christina gave him. It was a palm-sized little golden man. He wondered if he could name it Oscar. This little golden man should be the strongest [War Puppet] cast with the Asmodeus Royal Family's bloodline secret method. He once saw the power of the bronze puppet in the battle between Christina and Midnight Sun at the Silent Night Wetland. The puppet had no pain or thoughts, and it would not stop until it was dead. It was very difficult to deal with. Now that Christina gave him the most powerful golden puppet, it could even fight against a Demon Overlord. Unfortunately, it could only be used once.
This golden puppet was a bit familiar. Chen Rui suddenly thought of something. When he subdued Dodo in the black rainforest, Dodo once offered several treasures left by the Dragons that he devoured. Among them was a puppet that was about the same size as the golden puppet! Chen Rui moved his mind, and the puppet appeared in his hand from the storage. It was really about the same size as the golden puppet. Although the surface was dull, with Chen Rui's eyesight as a mechanic master, he could naturally see that the puppet's material was above the golden puppet.
Chen Rui moved his mind and activated the < Analytical Eyes > that had reached its time limit. The < Analytical Eyes > already had the identification function after reaching the Megrez state, but the prompt that appeared was: Unknown item (sealed), attributes cannot be determined.
This prompt was very strange. It was probably related to the "seal", but Christina definitely wouldn't see him again now. I'll wait until next time. Maybe I can give her a surprise.
This meeting was a little different from Chen Rui's expectations. [True Camouflage] was completely ineffective in front of her as it was seen through at a glance. Chen Rui still didn't know where his flaw was. However, after this meeting, Chen Rui had a deeper understanding of Christina, especially her persistence.
It could be seen that Christina did have some feelings for him, especially after he risked his life to delay the Broc incident last time. The Nirvana's Blood and the red piccolo were the best evidence. However, no matter how strong this feeling was, it couldn't replace the biggest persistence in her heart.
Chen Rui kind of understood why Christina became the next empress candidate. In another world, she would be degraded by some self-righteous guys as "Madonna", "Stupid" and so on. Even if those people transmigrated, they were just ants in her eyes. She wouldn't care at all.
She persisted in her persistence and pursuit. Her will was so strong that almost nothing could replace or shake it. It could be said that Christina was more suitable to be an excellent ruler than Jía.
At this moment, Chen Rui clearly saw the distance between him and her. He felt that they were even further apart. Perhaps the moment she ascended the throne in the future, this distance would increase infinitely. However, this woman was also more attractive to him. Not only her appearance, body, and temperament, but also her persistence … and the occasional hint of softness in her rational and almost ruthless heart.
If one day, the Shadow Empire or even the entire Demon Realm could enjoy a long period of peace and peace, perhaps she could truly let go of the feelings that were suppressed in her heart … This difficulty seemed to be even more difficult than Jía unifying the Fallen Angel Empire.
However, these things were too far away and unrealistic for Chen Rui. What he had to worry about now was the plan.
This plan was undoubtedly risky, but for Christina, for Kia, for Delia, and perhaps for his own wishes, it was worth a try.
It was too tiring for people to always live for others, but not for himself. This was Chen Rui, a man whose blood was not cold yet.
