The next morning, Kia got up early. Last night … she didn't go back to the palace.
However, unlike what some people with complicated thoughts thought, Kia, who stayed in the sheriff's house, had a long talk with Athena all night.
Athena knew about Kia's experience and Freya's bad news, so she was very sympathetic. Kia was also very clear about Athena's position in Chen Rui's heart. She immediately put away her usual mask and told him about her past. When it came to emotional parts, Athena also cried a lot. The two weren't strangers to begin with. Now that they were honest with each other, they had endless things to talk about.
Of course, the most common topic was about a certain cunning liar.
Kia busied herself for a while and quickly made a hearty breakfast for everyone.
Lomont wasn't jealous of Chen Rui now, but he admired him – Sir Leader is too powerful! He's such a beast!
He actually managed to trick a beautiful woman who was good at the dining hall and the kitchen so quickly. What's more, Athena wasn't jealous at all. She got along very well with the new beauty. As for his Delia, not to mention her culinary skills, just her jealousy of the Royal Family alone was enough to kill all of his thoughts of being a playboy.
In fact, Lomont had seen Kia who came with Alice during the last outing. However, those who could be brought into this house by Chen Rui were his people in the true sense.
Kia was a succubus with a mutated bloodline. After removing the imprisonment of the anti-magic ring, her comprehensive strength was C, which was Demon King level. She was proficient in both fire and wind magic, and she had a talent of spirit power. The legendary grade accessory, "Momentary Beauty", really found the right owner. No wonder Jía wanted to use the anti-magic ring to imprison her power.
For Kia, who was already his woman, Chen Rui naturally wouldn't be stingy. He gave her all the devil fruits and black potions that could improve her strength. It was probably impossible to reach Great Demon King in a short time, but it shouldn't be a problem to reach the peak of Demon King.
Since Chen Rui had an "intimate" encounter with Kia when he was using the identity of Master Arthur, plus Chen Rui's intention to take Freya away, Azgalor was likely to suspect Kia. If Kia "disappeared", it would be equivalent to confessing. At present, Chen Rui didn't have a candidate who could match Demon Overlord, so Kia had to keep her original "job" for the time being. In case she had contact with that force, she had to pretend to know nothing about Freya. If necessary, she could ask Sabrina appropriately if she took the initiative to remove the [Soul Shackles]. Of course, Chen Rui wouldn't let Kia take risks again, so he gave her many life-saving items. In case of danger, she could escape directly.
At present, the Shadow Empire must be "cracking down" on that force. Azgalor, who was seriously injured, probably didn't have the time to take care of a "small character" like Kia.
After Kia prepared breakfast, she just gave Chen Rui an affectionate look and went to the Princess Retail Store. Last night, Athena sent a message to Alice, saying that she asked Kia to stay so that she wouldn't worry. Although he didn't have the soy sauce barbecued meat pie and the tung papaya that he wanted to eat, he believed that a delicious cream cake would make the little loli smile.
With the little loli's sensitivity, she would definitely guess that he was back as soon as she saw the cake. However, Chen Rui hadn't seen Alice for a long time. After the Dark Moon's matter was arranged, he would immediately go to Town Moling in the Red Spirit Estate. This time, he would go for a long time. If everything went well, it would take several months. Before leaving, they should have a good gathering.
Sometimes, women were compassionate creatures. Athena had expressed that she could accept Kia long ago, but the value of this sentence was far less than the promise about Jía and her sister. She was even very wary of this maid. However, after a long night of conversation last night, Athena, who also lost her mother, had already regarded Kia as one of her own. Delia's parents died in an accident in her early years. The 3 women who shared the same fate became close friends who could not hide anything from each other.
However, when a guy who worshiped the Demon God's left eye obscurely proposed to accept some women who were worthy of sympathy and help with love and justice, the Demon God's left eye was punched into a panda and was forced to convert to the great and dedicated right eye. If it was normal times, Chen Rui would definitely retaliate by letting his unscrupulous nephew hug his uncle's leg and call him young master. However, he was not free now because the defense team sent by Tim from Mountain Xilang had already escorted several people to the Dark Moon City.
The Tonker brothers and Tommy were fine, but the focus was on the dark elf woman, Lisa, because she was likely to be Aldas's long-lost sister.
Chen Rui changed into Aguile's outfit and placed these people in the old house of the original Mellon Family, which was the current branch of the Cloak Gang. Soon after, Aldas, who received the news, rushed over.
The dark elf master had been staying in the secret basement of the laboratory to study black potions. Slee sent him three meals a day, and he almost never came out to play. If it weren't for the famous deed of killing the capital's potioneer genius with a fart, many people in the Dark Moon would almost forget the top potion master of the estate.
If any potion master in the Demon Realm knew what was in the dark elf master's laboratory, he would definitely be mad with jealousy. Others tried their best to brew grand master-level black potions, but Aldas tried his best to gain insight from the ready-made black potions.
With a full set of True potions as a reference, coupled with the concentrated research during this time, Aldas's research finally made substantial progress. Although he still couldn't brew black potions, he had already entered the ranks of the real top potion masters. He was only one step away from the highest level. Although he didn't know when he could break through, he was sure that this step was closer than all the potion masters in the Demon Realm.
If it was just an ordinary matter, Aldas, who was at the most important moment of insight and experimentation, wouldn't care at all. However, as soon as he received the news, he immediately dropped the experiment at hand and rushed over.
In a small room arranged by Chen Rui, Aldas met Sally alone.
The two stayed in the room for a long time. There were faint sounds of crying and scolding. Finally, the door opened and Aldas walked out. The expression on his face looked very depressed.
"Master," Chen Rui greeted him, "Isn't this Sally master's sister?"
"Sally … is indeed my long-lost sister." Aldas smiled bitterly, "It's just that because of my mistake in the past, she has never been able to forgive me."
It turned out that Aldas's family was quite well-off back then, but he was extremely obsessed with pharmaceutics. He once learned from a potioneer. Being a potioneer was a very costly profession, not to mention that the potioneer's character was very bad. He just wanted to use this opportunity to extort money from Aldas. The dark elf who was immersed in it didn't listen to his father and sister's persuasion. As a result, he went bankrupt and was heavily in debt. He was still stubborn. In the end, he didn't even see his father before his death.
It wasn't until the potioneer squeezed out his last drop of value and ran away that Aldas finally realized his mistake. He had no face to face his deceased father and his sister who hated him. He left without saying goodbye and was determined to become a real potion master.
Then, after a lot of hardships, he became a potioneer, but he was still poor and homeless. Finally, with the help of Princess Royal Jía, he passed the master's assessment. When he turned around to look for his sister, she was already gone. This was also cited by Aldas as the biggest regret in his life.
After hearing the news of Sally, Aldas rushed over without hesitation. However, what made him regret was that Sally still hadn't forgiven him until now. In fact, Sally had suffered even more in these years. In order to pay off his debts, she suffered a lot. After several twists and turns, she was found by Joseph who had ulterior motives. Finally, she fell into Kanita's secret prison.
"Sally is right. If it weren't for my stupidity and obsession back then, she wouldn't have suffered so much, and my father …" Aldas clenched his fist and lowered his head in self-blame.
"The cost and success are proportional at some point. Without the stupidity and obsession back then, perhaps there wouldn't be today's master." Chen Rui saw the dark elf master's painful expression for the first time. He comforted, "In my opinion, Ms. Sally still has you as her brother in her heart. There is a saying that the deeper the love, the more painful it is. If she is indifferent and treats you like a passerby, then you should be worried. Give her some time and give yourself some time. She will accept you. "
Aldas nodded and said to Chen Rui, "A human friend of mine said that you can trust Sir Aguile as much as you trust him. This time, Sally could come to the Dark Moon because of Sir Aguile's help. Aldas expresses his sincere gratitude here. If sir needs anything in the future, I will try my best to help. Sally is not suitable and unwilling to go to my place at the moment. She will stay in the Cloak Gang during this time … I will leave everything to sir. "
Chen Rui nodded, "My human friend also said that the master's business is his business. Please rest assured that Sally will be safe here."
Aldas looked at the house. He looked a little sad and left.
Chen Rui walked into the house. Sally quickly wiped her tears and looked at the mysterious masked man with vigilance. Chen Rui said faintly, "Do you really hate him that much?"
"This is my business." Sally said coldly, "Don't think that you can criticize me just because you managed to bring me here. You are the same as those people. It's just that you value Aldas's current value. In fact, it's useless to threaten such a cruel person like him. "
"Don't be too smart! Woman! " Sally's words made Chen Rui a little surprised. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Aguile. I'm the leader of the biggest force in this Dark Moon City. The reason why you came here is just because of the convenience of a certain sir. Besides, you can't just eat and drink for free here. You must use your own labor to get food and security. "
"Labor?" Sally's eyes flashed with cynicism. "Is it to directly serve you, sir? Or become a prostitute controlled by sir leader? Before that stupid Aldas still has value, I don't think I will end up like this. "
"It seems that you have experienced a lot." Chen Rui nodded. "I just need a woman with experience in certain aspects."
While Sally was vigilant, she heard Sir Aguile continued to say, "I want to remind you that the Cloak Gang is different from some forces that you know … I have a 'Cloak' magic item store. If you don't want to rely on your relationship with Aldas to be a freeloader here, then prove it to me."
This time it was Sally's turn to be surprised. This leader didn't seem to be joking. She naturally refused to admit defeat, "I will prove it to you, sir leader!"
