The [Soul Shackles] that Manu cast on Chen Rui was a mutated "[Soul Channel]". Although it had the function of killing or torturing the victim remotely like the ordinary [Soul Shackles], it also had the special function of sharing ability and damage. It was somewhat similar to the [Spiritual Link] enhancement that Chen Rui didn't have the authority to use yet.
[Soul Shackles] was one of the strongest control methods in the Demon Realm. It was very stubborn. Even if the victim died, the power of the shackles would only completely dissipate from the body after three days. There was basically no way to deal with it other than killing the caster or the caster voluntarily removing it. Therefore, Manu was very relieved.
It was just that Manu, who was experienced, didn't know that there was such a strange existence like the Super System in the Demon Realm. This Demon King "weakling" who seemed to be controlled could actually easily eliminate or cut off the control of [Soul Shackles]!
Most of the power shared by [Soul Shackles] hadn't been digested yet. Besides, it was definitely impossible for Chen Rui to sign a master-servant contract with Jacob. Therefore, Chen Rui immediately used the excuse of the spiritual flaw of advancing to the grandmaster level as an excuse. However, he didn't reject Jacob's words completely. Instead, he faintly revealed that after reaching the grandmaster level, he would serve the crystal dragon.
Jacob thought for a while. At present, this genius was only a master-level. His real value still lay in his grandmaster potential. If he could reach the grandmaster level and then accept him, the benefits would naturally be incomparable. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then it's a deal. When you become a grandmaster, even if I have to fall out with you, I'll let Manu remove [Soul Shackles]. However, for a grandmaster, the master-servant contract is a bit disrespectful. I'll give you an equality contract by then! Before that, I'll provide master with all the conditions you need! "
Chen Rui looked surprised and agreed immediately. He even swore in the name of Arthur. Actually, he understood that the credibility of Jacob's words wasn't high. His real purpose was to rope him in in advance. Once he really became a grandmaster, he would definitely use other methods to control him. However, he didn't come to the Crystal Valley for the grandmaster level. No matter what, his stalling strategy had succeeded.
Jacob thought that the conditions he offered were generous enough. Sure enough, he got Chen Rui's affirmation and oath. He nodded in satisfaction and began to answer Chen Rui's question, "Since there's a promise, I won't hide it from you, master. I am a crystal dragon. There is a large crystal vein under the Crystal Valley. This spring water is the Fountain of Resurrection, which can restore energy and stamina at the same time. The function of the magic circle is to use the Fountain of Resurrection to transform the crystal vein in the vein into the power of repair and healing to repair my injuries. "
Fountain of Resurrection and Crystal Ore Vein? Chen Rui was secretly shocked. The information of the Mechanic Association once mentioned that the Fountain of Resurrection was a more advanced natural resource than the Fountain of Vitality and the Fountain of Vitality. It was extremely precious. Not only could it restore vitality and stamina at the same time, but it also contributed to the growth of strength. It was said to be an essential rare material for making resurrection potion.
Crystal ores were the magic crystal coins commonly used in the Demon Realm. According to the purity of refining, they were divided into high, medium, and low grades. The medium and low grades were used as currency, namely black crystal coins, purple crystal coins, and white crystal coins. The high grades were the magic crystal materials, gold crystal and blood crystal, which were priceless.
The crystal ore vein symbolized huge wealth. Generally, after being discovered, it would definitely be firmly controlled by the empire where it was located. Now, the crystal dragon said that there was a "large" crystal ore vein underground. The crystal ore vein was often accompanied by a variety of precious magic materials. It was at least equivalent to the value of dozens of high-purity gold mines on the original Earth.
If the crystal ore vein shocked Chen Rui, then Jacob's next words shocked him, "You guessed it right. Many of the complicated magic circles around this pit are Dragon Inscriptions, but the real core is the six imprints. These six imprints are ancient runes!"
Ancient runes!
The seal on Paglio's body was the ancient runes!
Because of this seal, the poison dragon Paglio has been unable to restore his Demon Overlord strength. I didn't expect that the poison dragon's nemesis, the crystal dragon, actually has ancient runes!
So, the fifth floor of the ancient magic tower is sealed by the power of ancient runes? What is there on the fifth floor?
The crystal dragon saw Chen Rui's shock and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You actually know ancient runes?"
Chen Rui nodded and said, "I have read the relevant records in the Mechanic Association. The nearest mechanic grand master, the dark goblin, Lolo, is proficient in ancient runes, but he didn't accept any apprentices in his life. It was lost after his death. I don't know if ancient runes are related to the grand master-level mechanics. Sir, please teach me the knowledge of ancient runes!"
"Unfortunately, I don't know ancient runes either." Jacob shook his head and said, "Ancient runes is known as the language of the gods. It is broad and profound. These six ancient runes are extraordinary. They are part of a complete ancient language slate which I snatched from a nemesis. Although I don't understand the meaning of these six marks, after many experiments, I found that it can be used in this recovery magic circle to speed up my recovery. Unfortunately, it can only be used once every seven days. "
It turned out that these six slates were part of a complete "article". Jacob's so-called "nemesis" must be the fairy dragon, Rolla, who was proficient in ancient runes. This might be the source of the hatred between the two dragons.
"I understand. The legendary crystal dragon is immune to all magic, so those recovery magic items or potions are useless for sir. You can only rely on the magic circle to extract the crystal ores in the earth vein to recover your injuries." Chen Rui looked at the magic circle seriously, "It's just that these magic circles are too complicated. With my current understanding, I can only understand a part of it. If I change it without fully understanding it, it may bring unpredictable consequences. So, I plan to copy it down and bring it back to study and experiment carefully. Once there are results, I will immediately report to sir. As for the Dragon Inscription, I still need sir's guidance in the future. "
"You are indeed an amazing genius to be able to understand a part of it in such a short time. As for the Dragon Inscription, master, don't worry … You can study this magic circle at any time! If master can really improve this magic circle to make it more efficient, I will reward you handsomely. "
The crystal dragon was very satisfied with Chen Rui's performance, but he didn't know that this guy was actually thinking about how to aggravate his injuries by improving the magic circle. At the very least, he wanted to get the six slates and the Fountain of Resurrection.
Benefits must be obtained, but he couldn't ruin the plan. At present, he still needed to further gain the trust of the crystal dragon and Manu. This crystal dragon had at least 3 giants, and their strength had reached the Demon Overlord level that could easily kill him. Whether it was the cruel and fierce father Azgalor that Fatilu mentioned, or the old fox Manu who hid a knife in his smile, they were extremely terrifying. Even the seemingly opportunistic crystal dragon in front of him was also a temperamental person. If he was a little careless, he might be killed.
Even if he didn't expose his undercover identity, every step would be like walking on thin ice.
However, to some extent, danger was also a synonym for opportunity. Just the huge crystal mineral vein underground could bring huge value, and the Illusive Demon Shield (which was actually the Demon Shield) that the old fox Manu promised should arrive in these few days …
After leaving the "Crystal Lair" named by Jacob, Chen Rui came to the Nightmare Valley that Manu mentioned. After enjoying the wine and food, Manu briefly introduced the Crystal Valley to him.
The Crystal Valley was actually a secret place located in the Black Iron Mountain Range. It had a large area and was currently divided into 3 forces, the Nightmare Valley, the Crystal Lair and the Devouring Hall. Each had its own independent small territory. They were the territories of Manu Leviathan, the crystal dragon and Azgalor Beelzebub respectively. Other than the crystal dragon, Manu and Azgalor didn't stay here. For example, Azgalor wasn't in the Crystal Valley now.
Other than a few forbidden places such as the crystal dragon's magic circle, with the badge given by Manu, Chen Rui could freely pass through any location in the valley. He could also get the assistance of the guards unconditionally. Of course, except for the crystal guards. This kind of puppet was only controlled by the crystal dragon.
The 3 forces should be in a friendly cooperative relationship based on common interests. Chen Rui didn't know if there was a bigger leader above them.
Judging from the current forces, it was already terrifying enough. 3 Demon Overlords. Among them, Jacob was an opponent that could rival Paglio. The magic item given by Christina could only provide a location. When it was finally activated, it would become a signal flare, but it couldn't be contacted like a mobile phone. This time, it depended on the means and strength of the Demon Realm's first sage, Catherine the Great.
Although Sabrina was Manu's niece, she was also Azgalor's legal wife at the same time, so she and Fatilu weren't in the Nightmare Valley. Instead, they rested in the Devouring Hall. Compared with the crystal dragon's forces, Azgalor was obviously closer to Manu. Chen Rui was already considered as Manu's subordinate, so his lab and resting place were arranged in the Nightmare Valley.
There were several other masters in the Crystal Valley. Some were mechanic masters, and some were potion masters. They were responsible for some manufacturing matters, but these masters rarely showed up on weekdays. They might be immersed in some kind of experiment.
If he analyzed carefully, there were many factors that could be used here. However, even Fatilu was here for the first time, so she naturally couldn't get more information. Therefore, the most important thing for Chen Rui at the moment was to integrate into this unfamiliar place. After mastering the basic situation, he would try to further carry out temporary plans.
With the lab, it was equivalent to having his own independent space. After running around for so long, he could finally settle down. Mechanics was just a cover. The more important thing was the training of strength.
With the strength of the Great Demon King, he might be able to challenge enemies of the intermediate stage or peak stage of the Great Demon King. If he was outside, he should be considered as a powerhouse. However, in this Crystal Valley, there were three people who could kill him with one finger. Even Sabrina was likely to have entered the Demon Emperor level. There might be other Demon Emperor powerhouses in the valley. These people were definitely the real powerhouses in the Demon Realm. No wonder there was such a big conspiracy.
Whether it was for himself or for the people he wanted to protect, he must become stronger. He had two current goals. The first was to completely digest the power divided from Manu; the second was to understand the mystery of the training of Megrez state step by step, which was the power of the "world" or the power of territory.
Then, he must try to use something with a time limit as soon as possible – the realm king fruit.
