The crystal dragon was a special kind of Dragons. They were completely immune to magic, but they were relatively weaker in terms of power.
The crystal dragon, Jacob, was the mortal enemy of the fairy dragon, Rolla. The fairy dragon was good at all magic, including the dragon magic that Paglio was afraid of. However, the crystal dragon was her nemesis.
Two thousand years ago, in order to fight for the mysterious silver box, Rolla, the crystal dragon, Jacob and the blue dragon, Ranieri formed a deep hatred. Later, Rolla joined forces with the poison dragon, Paglio, who was also the enemy of Jacob and Ranieri. In the end, the blue dragon, Ranieri, died and Jacob was seriously injured. He was lucky to escape from Paglio.
However, under the temptation of the silver box, a certain dead duck dragon's moral value became negative. He ignored the agreement of joint research and attacked Rolla to snatch the silver box. However, this guy didn't have a good ending either. As a result, a mysterious powerhouse found him, sealed his power with ancient runes, and threw him in the blue lake for two thousand years.
This was called, sooner or later, he would have to pay for what he did.
Chen Rui never thought that he would be facing Paglio's enemy when he was at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, the crystal dragon, Jacob!
Crystal Valley … crystal dragon? No wonder Manu once said that Jacob was the owner of this Crystal Valley. Chen Rui's brain had begun to turn at a high speed. Both of them were Demon Overlord-level powerhouses. Excessive emotional fluctuations would be detected. I must think of a way.
Manu saw Jacob's movements and frowned, "Didn't I tell you that there is an important guest coming? Why is he still like this? "
"The guest you mentioned is this Higher Demon?" Jacob didn't even raise his head. He was just concentrating on kneading the two plump hemispheres of the maid. His voice was filled with extreme disdain.
Manu was proficient in magic, but this crystal dragon was not only stronger than him, but he was also completely immune to magic. Therefore, it was reasonable that he didn't buy it. Manu was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. As he was about to introduce Chen Rui's trio-specialized master identity, he suddenly heard the "master" say, "The layout of this manor and this room is terrible!"
Jacob, who was playing with the maidservant, suddenly had a cold glint in his eyes. The maidservant let out a blood-curdling scream as blood burst out of her chest. Jacob slowly sat up and waved his hand. The maidservant endured the pain and retreated while covering her chest.
Feeling Jacob's murderous aura, Manu cursed in his heart. Previously, he specifically told the master to pay attention to his words. He didn't expect that he would touch Jacob's taboo as soon as he spoke.
"This chair is actually made of blood crystals! Why not use Gold Crystals? He had thought that the facilities inside would be more imposing than the ones outside, but it was much worse than he had imagined! Also, why didn't you inlay it with sparkling gems? "
"This lamp is big enough, but those fire stones need to be polished more finely, otherwise the brightness won't be enough! Also, it would be best if there were more gemstones on the wall. These were too small and not stylish enough. They had to be bigger, and they had to be of different colors! This way, the style of the room would be much higher! "
Jacob's eyes lit up and his murderous aura disappeared instantly. He asked Manu who was a little dumbfounded, "This Higher Demon … What is the background of this guest? He has good taste! "
"This is the trio-specialized master who is most likely to become a mechanic grand master in the Demon Realm in the past ten thousand years. At the same time, he's also a magic circle genius …"
It was Manu's first time seeing someone being praised by Jacob for criticizing the furnishings here. However, the master's performance was really surprising …
"No wonder!" Jacob glanced at Manu, "I thought you taught him to say those words, but now it seems that you're far from this level of appreciation!"
Damn your level of appreciation! Jacob's words made Manu completely speechless. He secretly slandered the taste of these two monsters.
Chen Rui tried his best to recall the image of the most tasteless nouveau riche in his heart. He commented on all the furnishings in the room. Although Jacob didn't agree with some of the opinions, some of them were on his mind. After talking about the layout and furnishings of the room, Chen Rui's topic shifted to women again. Just like a certain dead duck dragon, the crystal dragon also had a common weird hobby for women like the Dragons. It could be seen from the maids outside.
The "beautiful and tough skin, clean and sharp teeth, tall and plump body" that Chen Rui mentioned were so heavy that even Manu at the side couldn't stand it, but Jacob's eyes were shining.
After some discussion, the crystal dragon looked at Chen Rui in a completely different light. There was actually more than one master in the Crystal Valley, but he was the first one who had three unique talents in 10,000 years like "Arthur". More importantly, this master's taste was actually so "elegant". He was simply the confidant of the giant dragons!
Manu was initially worried that Chen Rui wouldn't get along well with this eccentric Dragons here, and he might even anger Jacob and cause a disaster. Now it seemed that there should be no such concerns.
A maid came in and bowed, "Master, it's time to go to the magic circle."
"Can't you see that I'm chatting with the guests? If you dare to do this again, I'll break your limbs! " Jacob glared at the maid and waved his hand in the air. "Pa!" The innocent and poor maid was slapped a few meters away and spat out a few bloody teeth.
Jacob talked and laughed as if nothing happened, "I have to go to a special magic circle to train and restore my strength every few days. I can only stop talking to the master today. However, since the master has come to the Crystal Valley, he definitely won't leave in a short period of time. Don't worry, I will provide you with the best laboratory and the most complete materials. "
"Thank you, Sir Jacob." Chen Rui nodded, but he was secretly disappointed. This crystal dragon clearly has to go to the magic circle, but he vented his anger on the maid for no reason. Besides, his means are cruel. As Manu said, he is temperamental. Fortunately, I bet on the right place previously.
"By the way! The crystal dragon was severely injured by Paglio 2000 years ago. Is the recovery mentioned now … related to the injury at that time? "
"Sir Jacob," Chen Rui asked tentatively, "I'm very curious about the knowledge of magic circles. I wonder if I can take a look?"
A moment ago, Jacob was still smiling. However, when he heard this, his face instantly darkened, and killing intent flashed in his eyes. The Magic Array was one of his forbidden areas. Even his' allies' were not allowed to enter without permission. Yet, this guy actually wanted to take a look at it!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Manu quickly said, "Jacob, Master Arthur is not only a trio-specialized master that only appears once in 10,000 years, but he's also a peerless genius in magic circles. One of the reasons why he joined us is that I promised to let him observe the unknown magic circle."
In fact, what Chen Rui wanted to "observe" was the magic circle on the Illusive Demon Shield. Manu said this because he was afraid that Jacob would suddenly attack. After all, Chen Rui was now considered an important figure under his command.
"It's not that I'm bragging about being a genius. Not long ago, I consecutively deciphered two advanced magic circles of the ancient magic tower in one day." It seemed that the identity of "magic circle genius" had an unexpected effect. Chen Rui suddenly showed a proud expression. "I'm also very experienced in improving magic circles. When I came, those magic circles in the swamp, in my opinion, have a lot of room for improvement."
Jacob frowned because the Dragon Inscription outside was set by him personally. He was quite proud that its power was equivalent to Demon Emperor level, and it was unpredictable. He didn't expect Chen Rui to actually boast like that.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Chen Rui gestured in the air. Of course, he couldn't expose the fact that he was proficient in Dragon Inscription. Instead, he deliberately referred to it as a magic circle. He even left out many unique features of the inscription. He only said the simplest feature of the inscription, "The magic circle outside is indeed very profound. Although there are many things that I don't understand very well, it's still the same. I can be sure that if this point is slightly changed, the effect of the magic circle will be much better."
Although Jacob's attainments in Dragon Inscription weren't as good as Paglio, he was also considered one of the best among the Dragons. Naturally, he could see the value of this small improvement. Although it wasn't a major improvement, it was definitely not something that a layman could understand. The way the crystal dragon looked at Chen Rui suddenly changed. He didn't expect an ordinary Demons to be able to see through some of the mysteries in Dragon Inscription when he first came into contact with it. He is indeed a super genius!
If the crystal dragon knew that this master's "magic circle" attainments came from his sworn enemy, the poison dragon, and he was deliberately fooling him, he would definitely vomit blood … vomit crystals.
"Changes are always the same. This sentence is great!" Capable people were always valued. Although Jacob was moody, he couldn't help but praise sincerely at this time, "I've also lived for nearly ten thousand years, but it's the first time I've seen a genius like master. Then, please follow me, master. If you can understand my magic circle and make improvements, I will reward you handsomely."
"Lived for nearly ten thousand years?" Chen Rui's body shook and he showed an unbelievable expression.
Seeing this expression, Jacob was proud in his heart. He smiled and said, "To be honest, master, I'm a noble Dragons. Not to mention nearly ten thousand years, it's not surprising even if I've lived for tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years."
Chen Rui complimented him a few times. Jacob felt comfortable and suddenly said to Manu, "You don't have to come. I'll go with master."
Manu knew that magic circle was the crystal dragon's taboo, but Master Arthur's progress in integrating into the Crystal Valley was much faster than he imagined. Besides, there was [Soul Shackles], so he wasn't afraid that Arthur would betray him and join the crystal dragon's side. He immediately handed a badge to Chen Rui and smiled, "Well, master, I'm in the Nightmare Valley. With this badge, you can go unimpeded all the way."
"Thank you, Sir Manu. Please tell Fatilu to prepare a good wine and wait for me."
Chen Rui's words vaguely expressed his position, and Manu nodded with satisfaction. On the other side, Jacob had already urged impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense. I'll send someone to send master back later, and no one will dare to stop us. Master, let's go now."
Chen Rui followed Jacob out of the room and came to a place behind the manor. There were actually a lot of Dragon Inscriptions along the way, and they finally came to a pool.
This pool gave Chen Rui a familiar feeling. It was a bit like the fountain of vitality, but also like the fountain of life. It was full of a strange power.
The crystal dragon didn't enter the pool, but it sat in a concave stone pit on the side. The pit was surrounded by various Dragon Inscriptions and extremely complicated magic circles. The main body was six stone slabs. Each stone slab had a strange mark which seemed to be a strange rune. It was placed at the end of the hexagram respectively.
These marks seemed a little familiar. Chen Rui remembered that every time he tried to go to the fifth floor of the ancient magic tower, some strange runes and marks would appear, which made people unable to move forward.
Even [Deep Analysis] couldn't crack those strange marks and runes. From the data of [Deep Analysis], several marks around the stone pit had something in common with those runes.
"Master, you can look slowly from this distance, but don't touch it." Jacob sat behind the stone pit and activated the Dragon Inscription. Chen Rui could see that Jacob used the inscription triggered by the power of the Dragons' bloodline, which meant that others couldn't use this stone pit.
After the inscription was activated, those complicated magic circles were activated one by one. Under the effect of the magic circle, the hexagram flashed with a strange light. The marks at the end of the six glowed and floated in the air, exuding a mysterious power. It slowly changed its shape as if it was alive.
The water in the pool began to pour into the stone pit. Under the effect of the magic circle, it turned into a cloud of bright mist, wrapping Jacob's body as if it was a steam bath. The mist didn't drift around, but it was "imprisoned" within the range of the stone pit.
"Sir Jacob, what did I see? These magic circles … are really an amazing miracle! It seems that I have too many questions to ask sir in the future … No! I can't wait to ask for advice now. I wonder if it's convenient for sir to talk in your current state? "
Jacob felt comfortable to be complimented by a magic circle genius like this. He nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask whatever questions you have!"
"With all due respect, this spring water and magic circle seem to have a healing effect. However, even I can't understand many of these mysterious and profound magic circles. Since sir is a noble Dragons, then there must be the most profound knowledge of the Dragons in the legend – Dragon Inscription?"
"Master's eyesight is quite good!" Jacob nodded approvingly and said seemingly casually, "Master's means are also quite amazing. Not only did you gain my favor the first time we met, but you also discovered many of my secrets. I have a small request now. I wonder if master is willing to be my servant? "
This small "request" had a hint of coldness in his voice. Obviously, this was a threat.
Chen Rui was secretly vigilant. Sure enough, none of these boss-level enemies are easy to deal with. However, there is a good answer to this question now, which is [Soul Shackles].
Those who were hit by [Soul Shackles] could no longer draw up or accept a contract. This was the case when Old Gauss failed to use the contract on Kia.
"As a mechanic, my own combat power is only Demon King level. Besides, to develop and improve my mechanics, I must rely on a powerhouse. I have no choice but to accept [Soul Shackles]. Otherwise, how can I come to this Crystal Valley today?"
Jacob naturally knew the power of [Soul Shackles]. He snorted with dissatisfaction, "Manu only knows these insidious tricks. That Azgalor is no better than him! Master, if I have a way to force Manu to remove [Soul Shackles], are you willing to submit to me? "
Chen Rui's heart moved. Jacob's words revealed a message. Manu, Azgalor and Jacob, these 3 Demon Overlords don't seem to be united.
