Dark Moon City.
The human sheriff Chen Rui, who had been unconscious due to a strange disease, finally regained consciousness under the efforts of his lover Athena.
For those men who admired Athena and hoped that Chen Rui would die early, this was bad news.
For the garrison guards, this was also not good news. Although the human was officially appointed sheriff, everyone knew that it was just luck. In the hearts of the garrison guards, the real army commander was the acting sheriff Athena, even if Chen Rui was Athena's lover.
For Princess Royal Highness, this might be good news. It was equivalent to having another assistant who could more or less play a role. At least with the identity of this sheriff, he could cast a key vote in favor of Princess Royal on some resolutions.
Princess Royal and the representatives of several families went to visit the human sheriff. Although Chen Rui woke up, his body had not fully recovered. He looked very weak, and even his speech was weak. The human specifically expressed that he hoped that Athena could still control the garrison guards. Before he recovered, he didn't want to disturb the army that was gradually getting on track. This made the garrison guards very satisfied.
For the residents of Dark Moon City who were keen on the battle ball, it was just a little more talk. The battle ball tournament in the arena was always full, and it was even difficult to get a ticket. Many residents also spontaneously formed private teams. They even funded their own money to rent the arena for training or games when there was no official competition.
However, the hottest topic in the Dark Moon today was not the battle ball, nor was it the human, but … the treasure.
The Demon Realm had existed for tens of thousands of years, and it had experienced many ups and downs. Almost every territory of the Demon Realm had legends of treasures, but most of them were just unrealistic rumors. Very few of them had been truly explored.
However, this time, the Dark Moon's treasure seemed to be not just a rumor.
First, someone found a strange magic circle in the deep mountains of the Blue Lake Mountain Range to the east of the Dark Moon. Those who went to explore were always teleported out again and again. This news spread and attracted a large number of curious people.
Some lucky people occasionally entered the magic circle and got 1 or 2 sporadic antiques which were valuable.
Soon, when the acting sheriff Athena led the defense force team to investigate, they found an extremely rare fountain of life after several hardships.
The Fountain of Life was known as the source of life, and it was said to be able to treat all kinds of injuries and illnesses. It also had the effect of prolonging one's lifespan, as well as various other miraculous effects. It was especially useful as a top-notch material for concocting high-grade potions. It was said that the Fountain of Life was needed for black potions.
The most convincing was the unconscious human, Chen Rui, who had sought medical help from many sources to no avail. Now, with the miraculous effects of the Spring of Life, he had miraculously regained consciousness.
The Fountain of Life alone was a very important treasure. However, the God of Magic in that place was mysterious and unpredictable. It would automatically change. When Athena led the team there several times, they could no longer find the original Fountain of Life. They were teleported out every time. Not only that, but the magic circle also contained considerable danger. The explorers often suffered casualties.
However, the more this was the case, the more people came to explore. Moreover, the Dark Moon's discovery of the fountain of vitality and the mysterious treasure location was quickly publicized. The number of foreigners coming to the Dark Moon suddenly doubled, and it was still increasing.
Dark Moon Palace.
Old Gauss ended the detailed report of recent operations and plans, "Princess Royal, is there any problem with this arrangement?"
"The patrol force of the guards needs to be increased by 2 teams." Jía thought for a while, "With the sudden increase in the number of foreigners, incidents and disputes will also increase. Kaguli will be transferred from the Princess Retail Store to join the guards. Together with the dark forces of the Cloak Gang, it should be able to maintain stability."
"Then the safety of Princess Royal Highness …"
"With Kia there, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. After unlocking the Demon Prohibition Ring, her strength is still above Kaguli. It should be no problem to protect Alice. Besides, there is also Athena."
Old Gauss hesitated and said, "Please forgive me for being blunt, but I always feel that Kia …"
"Actually, I can't really trust Kia either." Jía's gaze fell on the clouds in the sky, "However, I trust that person. He said that Kia can be trusted, so I trust her. "
Old Gauss nodded. His own life was also saved by that person, but out of loyalty to Jía, he still said, "I have occasionally seen his friends. They all seem … unpredictable. Even the strange demonic beast that turned into his appearance makes me feel a sense of danger. And the fountain of vitality … I have a hunch that the power in that person's hands is by no means simple. Your Royal Highness should know my intentions. These words are not directed at him as a person. It's just a matter of fact. "
"I understand," Jía nodded slightly, "However, do you think … he is an ambitious person?"
"Everyone has ambition. The key is the difference in size and goals." Old Gauss thought seriously and replied, "Even if he is ambitious … he shouldn't be a threat to Princess Royal for the time being. Otherwise, the trio-specialized mechanic master who was famous in the Demon Realm wouldn't disappear. The original future of this genius master was limitless."
Not only is he a mechanic master, but he may also be a potion … grand master. Jía added in her heart. When he left recently, that person left 4 bottles of potions for her. Black potions.
A full set of Eternal potions.
Just one bottle of these potions was enough to shock the entire Demon Realm. It was even more powerful than the trio-specialized genius master. The trio-specialized master was just the most promising person to become a mechanic grand master. As for the black potions … only a potion master who had become a grand master could configure them. Moreover, it was an Eternal potion that only a senior grand master could configure.
Is the grand master's inheritance really so magical?
Although these 4 bottles of potions shocked Jía, she didn't ask much or make more requests. This was a faint tacit understanding.
Jía's father, Grimm, had the strength of the Demon Emperor, but her training aptitude wasn't particularly excellent, and she wasn't a mutated royal bloodline. She could only make up for it with extraordinary hard work. Especially after becoming a lord, she had to withstand the huge pressure from the capital. She had to deal with tedious affairs while squeezing out time to train desperately. Only by improving her strength could she keep the foundation left by her father and protect her only sister. These 2 seemed to have become her everything in life.
Even so, she still only reached the peak of the Great Demon King. There was still a big gap between her strength and the other 3 lords.
This set of Eternal potions not only improved her own strength, but it also maximized the integration of the power inherited from her father. As long as she understood the territory perception from her father's inheritance, she could break through to the Demon Emperor. This kind of inheritance power was ultimately not as powerful as the real strength gained through training and actual combat, but at the very least, she had to reach the Demon Emperor level to truly reach the strength of a great lord.
"It seems that I'm overthinking." Old Gauss smiled and said, "This strategy is really ingenious. People looking for treasures will definitely use the Dark Moon City as a supply point, or a considerable part will stay in the Dark Moon. In this way, not only will it boost the Dark Moon's economy, but the Dark Moon's emerging battle ball, night market, Princess Retail Store, and delicacies will quickly spread through these people. It's equivalent to … according to that person's words, it's free advertising. I believe that there will be merchants from all over the world coming soon. Princess Royal's newly built streets, shops, and various facilities will be put to good use. "
"I also admire his brain." Jía's eyes showed a faint rare warmth, "He only used a small joke to convince me. In a prison, the prisoners' letters must be strictly censored before they can be sent out. A prisoner received a letter from his wife saying that she was not in good health and could not farm food. The prisoner wrote back to his wife, telling her not to farm because there was something important buried in the farmland. As a result, a few days later, his wife wrote again, saying that the investigators had dug up all the farmland, and it could be easily sown. "
As an old courtier who watched Princess Royal grow up, he was also an elder. When Jía mentioned "him", the subtle changes in her eyes couldn't be hidden from Old Gauss. His heart moved. He wanted to propose a marriage again, but he was worried that if he said too much, it would make Princess Royal feel disgusted. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
With Princess Royal's personality, it was better to let nature take its course, but no matter what, he had to find a way to tie that person firmly to the Dark Moon.
Jía didn't know these thoughts of Old Gauss. Her eyes were still focused on the clouds in the sky as if there was a hateful face in it that was showing a hateful smile.
However, she really wanted to see that hateful person.
The Dark Moon's treasure incident was naturally planned by Chen Rui. The inspiration came not only from the joke, but also from the treasure hunting strategy used by Catherine when she probed the Crystal Valley.
The "awakening" of the human sheriff could effectively confirm the existence of the treasure, and it laid the foundation for his public appearance and actions in the Dark Moon in the future. There was also a hidden function just in case, which was to create the illusion that he appeared with "Charles" at the same time to dispel the association of individuals with intentions. In any case, that plan was the most important.
The human sheriff who was "recuperating" in the Dark Moon now was disguised by Dodo. Dodo put on the Evil Blue Tear handed over by Lomont, which could effectively shield his breath. Coupled with his "just recovered from a serious illness", outsiders couldn't see any flaws.
An accidental trip with friends made Chen Rui take a fancy to a very favorable terrain in the Blue Lake Mountain Range. Then, he spent considerable time and effort to set up the Dragon Inscription and complicated magic circle there with Paglio.
Although Paglio was not powerful enough and could only set up the inscription that barely reached the Demon Emperor level, with Chen Rui's magic circle, the power might not be as good as those in the Silent Night Wetland, but the degree of ingenuity and complexity was still better. It was equivalent to a huge maze with countless interconnected links. It would even change automatically, which was strange and unpredictable. Even if the Dragons came in person, it was difficult to break in. Those ordinary adventurers were naturally confused.
Wealth was the most attractive thing for people. More and more people failed in treasure hunting, and more and more people persevered. In a short time, the Dark Moon City became unusually lively. This was the first time in 400 years.
