Three days had passed.
There was still no response.
Chen Rui felt a little strange in his heart. Although he didn't know if Isabella had encountered any problems, he wouldn't completely pin his hopes on that woman.
At this time, the most reliable person was himself.
However, he unexpectedly had a gain in the past few days. This gain was actually the weakening magic circle of the confinement shackles and cage in his hands.
Chen Rui tried it. Both confinement shackles and cage had a special effect on restraining territory power. As a magic circle expert and a top mechanic master, that kind of confinement magic circle aroused Chen Rui's strong interest.
He was not only interested in the magic circle itself, but also a sudden idea- Through this kind of magic circle, he could deduce the mystery of the territory.
Even the makers of these devices, those deceased masters or grand masters, didn't expect that one day someone would have such an incredible idea. They also didn't expect that this was a super mechanic and magic circle master with the insane skill of [Deep Analysis]. Moreover, that idea was really put into practice.
There was no way to go, but there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel.
After looking at the problem from a different perspective, Chen Rui unexpectedly touched some areas that he hadn't thought of before. Of course, the knowledge of magic circle and mechanics played a very key role. With the progress of [Deep Analysis], even if he couldn't completely crack those complex and esoteric magic circles, the deduction of the territory began to become traceable.
These confinement magic circles made Chen Rui unable to experiment with new territory insights, but he had the Super System. He could use skills at will in the training ground, and there were no time and frequency restrictions in reality.
After his body adapted to the "baptism" of lightning and entered the training ground state, combining the positive and negative insights and his own understanding, Chen Rui's stagnant Megrez Experience Value finally began to rise continuously.
These days, there were people who delivered food to him. They were placed outside the cage. This cage was very strange. There was a gravitational field inside, and nothing could be felt from the outside. Chen Rui was not afraid of poison, but he was not interested in the junk food that was hard to swallow. There was plenty of food in the storage warehouse, but to prevent surveillance, he usually ate late at night.
On the surface, "Charles" hadn't eaten for 3 days. He didn't know if it was a hunger strike or he was tortured to the point that he didn't even have the strength to reach out to get food from the cage.
On the fourth day, a person finally appeared in front of the cage of Prison 13.
However, he was an unexpected person.
Military Minister, Rommel.
"Sir Charles."
Chen Rui's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened and glanced at Rommel.
"You've been wronged, Your Excellency." A faint smile hung on Rommel's face.
"Lord Rommel, are you here to laugh at me?" Chen Rui said with some difficulty. He seemed to be trying his best to maintain a calm tone under the pressure of gravity, but he couldn't hide his weak state.
Rommel saw it and shook his head, "I'm here to help Sir Charles, and I have a reason that Your Excellency can't refuse."
"Can't refuse?"
"Doesn't Sir Charles want to leave this damn place?"
Chen Rui's tone had a hint of contempt, "The people of the 3 elder families plus the royal family, especially the heir of the Lincoln Family, all died in my hands. Do you think I can leave just because I want to? By the way, I have to leave during the execution. "
"Let's look at it from another perspective. Lordan is indeed the heir of the Lincoln Family, but he was born from a wife who married a collateral relative of the royal family. Furthermore, he has the bloodline of the Fallen Angel Royal Family. Patriarch Sartre is largely under the pressure of the royal family. No one wants the family business that they have built with hard work to eventually merge into the royal family, especially the elder families. Lestin is just a son-in-law who married into the royal family. Although he has strength and potential, he is an outsider after all. Besides, he is already a dead person. How can he compare with the value that a living person can provide? As for the loss of Pierce and the collateral royal family … I can promise on behalf of the elder families that as long as Your Excellency provides enough benefits, everything in the past can be forgiven. "
Rommel paused, glanced at Chen Rui's expressionless face, and said, "As far as I know, Sir Charles should be the same as Sir Nero, a human aristocrat … There is no need to hide this information. I have confirmed it. What I'm interested in now is what kind of benefits can Your Excellency bring me? Perhaps it can match with the title of the palace's high rank consultant awarded by Royal Highness Obsidian? "
"I have to praise you for having a keen sense of smell. You actually smell the smell of benefits." Chen Rui praised, but he was not too surprised. Samuel's identity would definitely be investigated after this incident. His human identity might not be hidden from the insiders. Some things of the Red Spirit would also be known, such as the cooperation with Kanita and Josh.
"It's a pity that I don't have the benefits that you can get."
Rommel was slightly surprised. "Even the elder family that I represent doesn't have this qualification?"
Chen Rui did not answer, but he asked with interest, "I remember that General Doren once ordered that no one can come here to see me without the order of the regent. Sir Rommel is here today. Are you here on behalf of all the elder families or Royal Highness Regent?"
This was already a disguised refusal. Rommel frowned slightly, "Sir Charles, you seem to be very calm. Do you still have some expectations for a woman … or can it be called fantasy?"
Chen Rui did not answer, but he waited for him to continue.
"Your Excellency is a very persistent person, which is admirable. But I have to sigh. You have always been used by that woman. " Rommel sneered, "You know, Isabella and I are political enemies. Under her instigation, you killed my coachman, Jardel. Therefore, in order to get rid of you, an enemy on her side, I instructed Lordan to launch an ambush on you. Unfortunately, they all died in your hands. In your opinion, this should be the case, right? If I say that I am not the mastermind behind the ambush, do you believe it? "
Chen Rui was still silent.
"According to my latest intel, before you were taken away by General Doren, you should have given her something and told her to pass it to the Royal Highness Regent, but what you don't know is that she has not gone to see the regent until now."
Chen Rui's eyes flashed, and a hint of surprise finally flashed across: Rommel's intention today is obvious. He is interested in the huge benefits that I may have at hand. According to this aspect, the possibility that the elder families or Rommel directly sent Lordan to ambush me is very small. Of course, it is not ruled out that he only learned about the existence of certain benefits after this incident happened.
Although it sounds illogical that Isabella is the mastermind, she is worthy of suspicion in any case.
If it is true, what is her motive? "Charles" is dead, and Obsidian's benefits are also lost. Is it to provoke the relationship between the elder families and Obsidian? Isn't Isabella Obsidian's confidant? Or this decision is related to that secret force?
On the surface, that woman is intimate with me and even a little ambiguous, but she is such a killer behind my back. It seems that she really lives up to the name of Devil's Snare Flower.
Chen Rui thought of the scene when Lordan was induced to self-destruct, and he thought of the "evil voodoo" that he had been infected with. He seemed to have realized something.
Rommel saw Chen Rui's contemplative look, and he seized the opportunity to say, "In your current situation, I don't have to deceive you. As long as you agree to cooperate, our elder families, as the victims of this matter, can naturally be exempted from accountability. When the truth is revealed, that ruthless woman will get the punishment she deserves. You can deal with her however you want by then."
This proposal made Chen Rui's brain turn quickly for a while. Isabella is a capable general under Obsidian, and Obsidian has always been restricted by the elder families. If I cooperate with the elder families, it may cause some conflicts between the 2 sides. In the long run, it can shake Obsidian's foundation. However, the identity and business in the human world are fabricated. The so-called huge benefits are just paying for it at present. It is not the time to harvest it yet. Moreover, in my plan, Obsidian is a launching center, which cannot be changed. Therefore, I can't cooperate with the elder families now, and I have to use this to prove my determination to Obsidian.
In fact, as long as Obsidian stands on my side in this matter, it can already deepen the contradiction between the 2 sides. This is also the reason why I didn't destroy the corpses after killing the 4 people. The only way to achieve this goal is to let Obsidian see greater benefits that are enough for him to openly oppose the elder families.
"Unfortunately, I can't believe you." Chen Rui figured this out. With a firm look in his eyes, he raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to the cage, "Even if what you say makes sense, even if … it is in this situation."
Rommel's pupils contracted slightly, "Sir Charles, this joke … doesn't seem very funny. Although I have always been patient with you, the old guys behind me just lack patience at this time. You must think clearly. This is a matter of life and death! "
Chen Rui replied without thinking, "I think I have thought about it very clearly, and I will not change it. Sir Minister of Military Affairs, it is too difficult to talk to you in this environment of gravity and poison. Please forgive me for my rudeness. "
Seeing that Chen Rui closed his eyes in front of him and stopped talking, Rommel raised his eyebrows, "This may be the worst decision sir has made in your life."
Hearing Rommel's footsteps fading away, Chen Rui slowly opened his eyes. Rommel's arrival made him more suspicious of Isabella. Of course, he had never really trusted this Devil's Snare flower, but now he could no longer wait passively in the secret prison like this. He must find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack.
Due to the deduction of the Confinement Magic Array, not long before Rommel's arrival, his comprehension of the Domain happened to have reached a very critical moment, and he could break through that layer of paper at any time. It was better to seize that glimmer of precious insight and enter the Training Ground to train first.
Not knowing how long had passed in the training ground, when Chen Rui was awakened by a strange warning and opened his eyes, there were already 3 people in front of him.
He only knew the leader, the patriarch of the Lincoln Family, Sartre. Lincoln.
This patriarch of one of the elder families had reached A-, the early stage of the Demon Emperor. His usually smiling eyes were flashing with a cold light.
The other 2 people, a man and a woman, both had the strength of the early stage of the Great Demon King. Their faces were full of hatred.
Judging from the posture of the 3 people, they were definitely not here to negotiate with him like Rommel. After the negotiation broke down, they started to take revenge and complain.
The other party took the initiative to look for a gap. It should be the best time for Chen Rui to take action, but forget about the 2 Great Demon Kings, Sartre is a Demon Emperor. Does he have a chance?
"Charles, I don't know what kind of hatred you have with my son, Lordan. You actually used such a cruel method to kill him without leaving his bones." Sartre said sternly, "These 2 people, one is Lestin's widow, Teresa, and the other is Pierce's nephew, Tonte. You won't die too easily today."
Strange images and voices suddenly appeared in front of the cage.
"It should be said that the reason for your failure is because someone provided the wrong information …"
"This time you were just used by someone. I don't want to have too deep of a grudge with the Lincoln Family, so I can spare your life, but you must first tell me who provided my whereabouts and information. Who instructed you to kill me?"
Then there was a burst of silver light.
It was the scene that Chen Rui "recorded" with the recording stone that day.
Sartre looked slightly surprised, and he frowned.
"I didn't kill your son, but he was used by someone. Then, someone used a special method to trigger some kind of power in him to self-destruct." Chen Rui shook his head, and his gaze fell on Teresa and Tonte. "As for Lestin's 3 people, I have no hatred with them. Since they came to kill me, they should be prepared to be killed. This is the most basic rule."
Sartre had recovered from his thoughts and surprise, and he said coldly, "I don't know how you created those illusions just now, but … even if you didn't kill Lordan, he died because of you! No matter how sweet your words are today, you can't escape the fate of being torn into pieces. "
Do I have to obediently wait to be killed just because he wants to kill me? Chen Rui wanted to retort, but it was obviously meaningless to argue with Sartre. Not to mention that there were two enemies who could kill with just a look.
The elder family was powerful, and they would not care about the so-called right or wrong at all, even if they were the unreasonable party. In addition, Rommel's previous interest negotiations had broken down, and he had now become the source of all the blame. It was impossible for him to let it go today.
The fist was the real truth.
Many times, it was very sad for this "truth", but he had to admit this truth.
"Do you think you can kill me today?" Chen Rui asked faintly. In fact, when Sartre appeared, he had already been secretly brewing and adjusting his power.
"You can defeat the joint forces of Lestin, Pierce and others, so your strength should be infinitely close to or even reach the Demon Emperor realm. I haven't fought for many years. Usually, I may not have the confidence to win, but …" Sartre's body was steaming with a faint flame visible to the naked eye. He said confidently, "This is Prison 13 of the secret prison. I have a 100% chance of winning against an enemy who has stayed here for 7 days and hasn't eaten! What I want to ask now is, after the magic circle of the prison is removed, do you still have the strength to stand up and die? "
