A moonlit night.
Dark Moon City, Cloak Gang headquarters, ancient house, backyard.
Miss Sasa was demonstrating the new gadget given by her boyfriend, Xingxing, to her two best friends, Eve and Alian. It was a kind of illumination beam that could absorb moonlight and emit various shapes.
"Interesting! Sister Sasa. "
Seeing Eve and Alian's surprised and happy look, Miss Sasa's face lit up, "This was made by Xingxing based on the inspiration of the flashlight that Leader Aguile said last time, but it is many times more powerful than what the leader said. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also very practical … Hey, Eve, why are you suddenly unhappy? Here, you can play with this."
"It's not that Big Sister is unhappy. It's just that when you mentioned the leader, she kind of misses him."
"Arianne!"
"Sister, what's there to be embarrassed about? Actually, I miss Aguile a lot. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Speaking of which, Leader Aguile is indeed very attractive, mysterious and powerful, but our family's Tata is more charming. He has a short and fat figure, a long nose, sexy green skin …"
"…"
Not far away, Xingxing was talking to Skye. Both of them were top masters. They appreciated each other and had become close friends.
"Master Xingxing, have you heard?" The one who spoke was the dark elf, Skye.
"Of course." Xingxing nodded, "This is almost the heaviest news in the mechanics industry for thousands of years. I believe everyone in the Demon Realm knows about it now. Even Master Nate's direct disciple, dual-specialized Master Horford lost to that person. "
A strange sarcasm appeared in Skye's eyes, "Nate shouldn't be able to sit still now."
Xingxing didn't notice Skye's disdain when talking about Nate. He just sighed, "Two quasi-legendary equipment and one legendary grade equipment. It's a pity that I couldn't witness the grand occasion of the final."
Skye nodded sympathetically and said, "I heard that after the genius created a new miracle in the ancient magic tower of the Dark Shadow Empire's capital, he mysteriously disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown. I have a strange premonition that this genius … might be related to an acquaintance of ours. "
"Really?" Tata Xing looked at him strangely, "I thought I was the only one who had this hunch?"
Both of them laughed at the same time.
"Animals!"
Dark Moon, city sheriff's residence. An indignant voice sounded.
"Trio-specialized mechanic master! A genius in magic arrays! Can he be any more famous? " Pointing at the moon outside the window and yelling, it was obviously his wife-con teammate and nephew, Lomont.
However, this house was no longer the same as when it was first built. Not only were there protective plants like Guardian Vines around, but it was also covered with various Dragon Inscriptions. Even if Lomont howled at the moon with all his might, his voice couldn't be heard.
Lomont's indignant look made the poison dragon seem to see himself who was also jealous of this in the past. He added gloatingly, "Not only that, this guy also has grand master-level black potions. Didn't you just drink a full set of Eternal Potions?"
"What a beast!" Lomont didn't have the slightest awareness of having eaten the wine. He gulped down a mouthful of wine and sighed to the sky. He had the sad temperament of a hero who had lost his ambition, and it almost made people cry. "Devil God! Open your omnipotent left eye that can charm all women, and take care of your poor believer! Why is it that such a handsome royal family like me has almost no luck all these years! The day before yesterday, I was even caught by Delia when I was flirting with a beauty! No, I can't be hung on a tree! I want the whole forest! "
"I always forgot to tell you." Paglio was obviously the kind of person who added insult to injury, "This guy went from a powerless weakling to the current Great Demon King … It seems that it took less than a year, right? You have just been promoted to Great Demon King. In terms of combat power, you are definitely not comparable to him. Probably in less than a year, this guy will become a Demon Emperor. "
"Pfft!" Lomont choked a mouthful of wine from his nose. As he was about to continue to express his pure jealousy indignantly, a pleasant voice came from outside the yard, "Athena, did you hear that? Someone seemed to be howling just now? "
"That's right, Delia, it seems to be the goddess of luck or something, and …"
Before Athena finished her words, Lomont floated over like a gust of wind and took the things in their hands attentively, "Ah, two beauties, you must be tired from shopping at the night market. Let me help you carry the things in."
"By the way, I just heard someone say that the Demon God has a charming left eye. Mr. Forest Lumberjack, did you hear that?" Delia took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face that had been completely cured, but her eyes were a little unfriendly.
"Dear Delia, you must have heard it wrong. I was talking about the Demon God's dreamy and charming right eye."
"Dodo, I know you are hiding in the corner! Tell me, what did this person say just now? To be honest, I will give you a bottle of the best fruit wine I bought at the night market just now. Otherwise, you will starve for 3 days. "
The last threat made the slime pop out immediately and turned into Lomont's appearance just now. He even imitated the movements and tone vividly.
"… I can't even be caught by Delia when I'm flirting with a beauty! No, I can't be hung on a tree! I want the whole forest! "
Lomont, "…"
Seeing Delia walking over with a sneer, Lomont's face had turned bitter. Almighty Demon God, open your omnipotent eyes and save your poor believer.
Athena smiled as she watched the farce between the two enemies. Suddenly, she thought of the playfulness and joy she had with that man on a daily basis. Her beautiful red eyes were filled with deep yearning. Are you thinking of me too? My lover.
Dark Moon City, the backyard of the palace.
A slim figure in a white dress stared at her reflection in the moonlight and said nothing.
The scene of the conversation with Old Gauss in the council hall just now still appeared in her mind.
"His performance in the mechanic contest this time shocked the entire Demon Realm! As for the Custer Family, the new successor has been confirmed. It's the youngest Ms. Celine. When I left the Dark Shadow's capital, she specially contacted me and said that she would do her best to support our plan. "
As Old Gauss said, he lamented, "Initially, my evaluation of him was already high enough, but I didn't expect it to still be too low."
Jía nodded slightly. Chen Rui once mentioned to her that he inherited the grand master's forging and armor-making skills, so he could train and teach some craftsmen. Before Old Gauss returned, the news that "Arthur" became famous in the Shadow Empire's mechanic contest and became the first trio-specialized mechanic genius in the Demon Realm in 10,000 years had reached the Dark Moon.
At that time, Jía was really shocked. Now, after hearing the "magic circle genius" that Old Gauss added, she seemed calm instead.
"In fact, in the beginning, he entered our sight as the alchemy grand master's inheritance, but the wisdom and talent he showed later made us almost forget the biggest 'original intention'. Only now did he really shine brightly."
Old Gauss sighed, "That's right, Princess Royal Highness. He has joined the Shadow Empire's Mechanic Association under the public invitation of Catherine the Great. I thought he would leave the Dark Moon and directly join the Shadow Empire, but he saved me again and entrusted me to bring back those plans. It seems that his heart is still in the Dark Moon, at least for now. "
"Indeed." In fact, Jía had already asked Chen Rui a similar question in person.
"Princess Royal Highness, with Chen Rui's current ability and reputation, the Dark Moon's conditions alone can't keep him. It can be said that he will have a better and safer future if he goes elsewhere. " Old Gauss said meaningfully, "The reason why he didn't do this is because he still remembers our friendship and affection in his heart, but this friendship obviously can't be maintained for a long time. If Princess Royal wants to realize her biggest wish, she must get his help, so I made a suggestion … I hope Princess Royal won't be offended. "
"Gauss, just say what you want to say."
"Chen Rui is a person with superior wisdom and ability. He also has such a powerful inheritance. What's more, he values friendship very much and won't be shaken by ordinary interests. However, things are unpredictable. As long as another force gives him a greater friendship and more worthy conditions, he is likely to leave. To be honest, the Dark Moon's bond with him is not deep enough. Even his lover, Ms. Athena, is not from the Dark Moon royal family. I think … we should use a deeper relationship to tie him firmly to the Dark Moon. "
Jía raised her eyebrows slightly, "You mean …"
"Marriage." Old Gauss nodded affirmatively, "This is the best way. In fact, I can see that he treats Princess Royal …"
"Okay, Gauss, just pretend I never heard about this, understand?" Jía suddenly had an inexplicable anger in her heart. Although she knew that what Old Gauss said was very reasonable, she still couldn't help this anger. Her voice suddenly became cold.
Old Gauss shook his head, "Princess Royal, as the lord of the Dark Moon, may be able to regain the throne from Obsidian in the future. She is really not suitable as a marriage partner. Then, can we consider using the little princess …"
The chill in Jía's eyes was even more intense. She directly interrupted Old Gauss' words, "Don't talk about this anymore!"
Old Gauss' expression was stagnant, and he finally stopped talking. Jía felt that her tone was indeed a bit harsh, so she added, "You must be tired after returning from the Shadow Empire. Kia will let her continue to follow Alice to manage the Princess Retail Store, lest she finds out Chen Rui's secret when she returns to the sheriff's house … You go and rest first."
Old Gauss let out a long sigh and left.
Jía silently looked at her somewhat lonely shadow. She still remembered what the human man said when he first came to this back garden: The furthest distance in the world …
Closing her eyes, the man's voice before leaving sounded in her ears again, "Even without General George's request, I will still do this."
Not only this, but also those hateful topics with double meanings, hateful smiles, hateful everything …
I don't know why, but I miss this kind of hateful things a little. As I miss it, I feel a lot more relaxed.
A voice came from a distance, "Kia, look at your feet. Don't fall. Why did you change into a different person when you came back? You can even stare blankly while walking? Are you thinking of a man? "
"No, Your Highness, I'm just …"
"Okay, let's go quickly … sister! Kia and I brought back delicious supper from the night market for you! "
Hearing Alice's call, Jía opened her eyes, and a faint warmth rose in her purple eyes. Perhaps it was because of the change of the moonlight, Jía's shadow became two. It didn't seem so lonely anymore.
