Chen Rui was a little inexplicable about Rolla's resentment. She was still very happy in the capital last time. I don't know how I offended this lady. She actually knocked me out and brought me back.
In fact, with his familiarity with the Rainbow Valley's magic circle and the [Star Gate], it was not difficult to escape. However, the fairy dragon did something on him that could actually track his location. Even skills like [True Camouflage] and [True Breath Holding] were seen through. If I escape to the Dark Moon and the fairy dragon runs into the poison dragon, the consequences will be unimaginable. I should try to completely eradicate this future trouble first.
Joseph should probably collapse now. Jía can implement the subsequent steps step by step according to the original plan. Even if he is not there, there should not be much problem.
Chen Rui settled down. While studying Paglio's seal with the fairy dragon, he also discussed the problem of the Sword of Fallen Angel. His level of ancient runes was also improving rapidly. Although Miss Long would inexplicably give him a little punishment, it still gave him a lot of inspiration and help in terms of ancient runes and territory.
The [Autumn Territory] could be activated relatively stably, and the power of Megrez state was also growing stronger step by step. Even if he didn't activate it, he had more experience in understanding and using the territory after the battle with Broc. In the galaxy of the Super System, many planets had changed step by step. Oceans and lakes had begun to take shape. Plants also began to slowly evolve from the initial fungi and algae. Environments such as swamp forests appeared, adding vibrant greenery.
The Comprehensive Strength Assessment reached B +, but the experience of Megrez state was still lacking the last point.
After learning that Rolla's territory could freely convert various elements, which was equivalent to several territories, Chen Rui had a flash of inspiration, and a new idea appeared in his mind. I combined the power of Nirvana to heal and strengthen Isabella in the [Autumn Territory] last time. Can I separate this buff power to build a new form of territory that can heal and strengthen myself or allies? Perhaps it can be called [Spring Territory]?
Of course, this was only a future development direction. With his current strength, it was better to fully understand the mystery of Autumn Domain and break through the bottleneck of Megrez first.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Rolla's mood became a lot better. Sometimes, she would even make some strange food for him to eat, but the taste was not flattering. It was probably some kind of experiment.
Although he had gained a lot in the Rainbow Valley, Chen Rui missed Athena and Kia very much. At the same time, he was also worried about something. Did Jía completely control the Dark Moon? How much did Obsidian hurt Bloodfall? How to deal with the rumors? Did Aldas participate in the potioneer contest in the capital …
He could come back to the Rainbow Valley, but the Dark Moon must go back. After a long period of experimentation and preparation, Chen Rui finally started his escape plan. Since the star point would be invalid in a month, he could only break the magic circle directly to escape.
For the sake of caution, the first time was just a test. It was intended to detect a certain imprint on his body that was cast by Rolla. Once the guess in his heart was confirmed, it could be removed once and for all. Then, he only needed to set up a star point somewhere outside the valley, then he could easily use the [Star Gate] to leave at any time.
So, one afternoon, while the fairy Miss Long was taking a nap after being too tired from the experiments a few days ago, Chen Rui carefully broke the magic circle and escaped from the Rainbow Valley.
He changed his face and went all the way to the capital. Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong. According to the time, the potioneer contest should end soon. This kind of contest that the entire Demon Realm focused on was also a business opportunity. He remembered that Obsidian originally planned to hold a series of trade fairs, auctions and other activities in the future, but there were no traces of these at present. Even the floating population did not increase significantly.
Chen Rui was very puzzled. He walked into a tavern. After asking for a few of the best drinks, he had successfully "hooked" the tavern's succubus waitress.
"Potioneer contest?"
The succubus looked surprised, "Haven't you heard of such a big event? The Royal Highness Regent announced 2 months ago that the potioneer contest would be postponed for a year. However, there is a new major event. The Red Spirit Estate has been approved by the Royal Highness Regent to join forces with the Blue Lava Estate to launch a war of lords against the estate. At present, the coalition forces of the Red Spirit Estate and the Blue Lava Estate are approaching the Dark Moon. "
"What?" Chen Rui was shocked. War of lords!
According to the practice of the Demon Realm, when some contradictions between the lords are really irreconcilable, they can be solved by force. However, because it is an internal struggle of the empire, the emperor's special approval is required.
Generally, the capital will also send a special envoy to strive for the final mediation. In case the mediation fails, the role of the envoy will become supervision to avoid excessive casualties. Generally speaking, even if one party wins, they can't kill the lord of the losing party. It should be handed over to the capital for the final ruling. The loser will have to cede the land and pay reparations, or even be imprisoned.
The reason why the Red Spirit Estate launched the war of lords was that the Dark Moon's Lord Jía conspired to kill Joseph, who was the financial officer of the Dark Moon, in order to seize the estate of the Red Spirit Lord's eldest son and also the estate's "heir", Joseph.
Judging from this reason alone, it could indeed be a condition to launch the war of lords.
However, this was simply turning black and white upside down.
First of all, the reason for Joseph's "murder" was a distortion of the facts. Joseph took the initiative to propose the bet at the regular meeting. The Dark Moon's officials and family representatives could testify that no matter what strategy or struggle was in the middle, the rule of the Demon Realm was that the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. In the end, it was indeed Joseph's Red Cloak Team who lost, which was equivalent to losing all the estates and financial officer position.
Moreover, Joseph's death was caused by Kia's attempt to kidnap the little princess Alice. He deserved it. According to the rules, Josh should apologize to Jía.
Moreover, Joseph's identity was not the heir of the Red Spirit Estate at all. Such a title was just to increase the dead's bargaining chip and as an excuse to launch a war.
Regent Obsidian completely ignored the Dark Moon's protest and directly approved Josh's request. It could be said that Sima Zhao's intention was well known. Many people could even guess that this war was simply instigated by Obsidian.
The Dark Moon Estate had all fallen into the control of Princess Royal Jía, and its economy and military had developed rapidly. Coupled with Obsidian's own stupid decision, it was not affected by the fundraising funds. It had long become a thorn in Obsidian's eyes- While it is still young, I can take this opportunity to destroy the Dark Moon's effective power and eliminate this potentially dangerous bud in the cradle.
As long as the Red Spirit Estate and the Blue Lava Estate won, even if they didn't kill the Jía sisters, who were the direct descendants of the royal family, the thriving Dark Moon would definitely become a shell that was completely looted by the flames of war. Obsidian would never let Jía go. It was likely that he would imprison her for life or even kill her secretly.
Even if he didn't kill Jía, she would still have the title of a lord. All the real power would be taken away, and she would become a veritable puppet.
This move was indeed insidious and sinister.
Although the details of Joseph's death were not clear, Chen Rui had already guessed that in addition to using the Red Spirit Estate and the Blue Lava Estate to defeat the potential threat of the Dark Moon, Obsidian also had the intention of using the war to divert the public's attention. He even wanted to plunder the Dark Moon's wealth to alleviate the urgent need of a huge deficit.
Although the Dark Moon's military power and combat power had been greatly improved, it was still a weak link compared with the other 2 major estates. Originally, Chen Rui expected to take about 3 years to improve the military power to the extent that he could look down on the major estates and then confront the capital head-on, but this sudden war greatly exceeded his expectations.
However, in addition to the Dark Moon's military power on the surface, it also had a strong potential power. In terms of individual combat power, the representatives were the Earth Elemental King and Paglio. The Red Spirit Lord, Josh, was only the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor, and the Blue Lava Lord was probably not far away. In terms of the overall military power, there was Guradam's undead army, as well as the earth elementals, medusas, taurens, and wyvern Dragons. Once all these forces were used, it should be enough to make the Blue Lava Estate and the Red Spirit Estate return in failure. It was just that once these forces were all exposed, it would probably attract the attention of all parties. The most important thing was that this force was not controlled by Jía. He had to go back to mobilize it. Therefore, he must rush back to the Dark Moon Estate as soon as possible to return to Athena and Kia, and to return to Jía's side!
"Thank you, beautiful and charming lady. I will come and ask you out when I am free at night." Facing the succubus waitress's frequent flirtatious looks and body seduction, Chen Rui gave her a perfunctory reply. As he was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"At night? Really? "
Chen Rui was shocked. It's Rolla! She came so soon. As expected …
Chen Rui slowly turned around, and he saw a graceful figure appearing behind him. This time, Rolla did not disguise herself as ugly as last time. Her beautiful appearance and special temperament made the charming succubus suddenly overshadowed.
"Dear Simon, you escaped from home just to meet this wild woman privately?" The fairy dragon asked with a smile, but her voice faintly revealed a cold murderous intent.
Chen Rui was a little speechless. What is this? You are even addicted to role-playing! Besides, I'm just an assistant, not your man. Even if I meet with a woman privately, it's none of your business …
"This … listen to my explanation."
"Let's go home first, okay?" Rolla seemed to ask for his opinion respectfully, but in fact, Chen Rui knew very well that if he didn't want to walk back, he would definitely be knocked out and dragged back.
"Listen to me, I can't go back now …"
Before he could finish speaking, a loud voice sounded from the side. It was a young man dressed in gorgeous metal armor. Beside him was a burly bodyguard. At a glance, one could tell that he was the young master of a certain family in the Imperial Capital.
"Beauty, he doesn't want to go back with you. How about I go back with you? I'm much more useful than this guy. I'll make sure you … "
Before he could finish his sentence, his voice stopped abruptly. The gorgeous magic armor on his body automatically twisted as if it was going to twist his whole body into a fried dough twist. The poor young master fainted from the pain before he could even let out a scream.
The burly man was taken aback. He pulled out his long sword and rushed toward Rolla with a loud shout. Before he took 2 steps, he felt that the long sword in his hand suddenly emitted an unbearable high temperature. It fell to the ground with a "ding", and the long sword turned into molten iron at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The burly man was shocked. This is not the fancy armor, but an excellent-grade weapon!
From the beginning to the end, Rolla didn't look over there. She just looked at Chen Rui.
"Understood, I'll go back with you first." Chen Rui glanced at the dying young master and sighed. After this "experiment", he had determined that what Rolla put on him was a 4 yuan rune imprint.
"Yuan" was the basic unit of ancient runes. The higher the yuan, the more complicated it was. However, the 4 yuan rune imprint was very complicated. Even with the information of [Deep Analysis], it was very troublesome to remove it. But no matter how troublesome it was, it had to be removed. He had already set up star points in the capital area. In case it didn't make sense, he could directly use the [Star Gate] to escape directly.
Rainbow Valley.
"Miss Rolla, you are the most intellectual woman I have ever seen. You love knowledge, respect knowledge, beautiful, kind, and considerate …"
Hearing this man list a lot of her advantages, Rolla was dazed on the surface, but her heart was sweet. She didn't know since when she liked to listen to these "unscientific" sweet words. Of course, it was only limited to this man.
(Forget it, forgive him for sneaking out to seduce a wild woman?)
(That's not right. What he went out for seems to have nothing to do with me? I seem to just want to catch a … uh, escaped experimental subject.)
"Now, there are a few important people in my life who are facing danger …"
Rolla suddenly interrupted, "More important than my … our experiment?"
"In a sense, they are more important than … our experiment." Chen Rui paused and said with a solemn face, "If someone wants to destroy our experiment, what will Miss Rolla do?"
Rolla's aura was great, "I won't let it go easily!"
Chen Rui took the opportunity to say, "Yes, I am the same, so I have to leave to protect those who are very important to me. As long as this matter is solved, I will return to the Rainbow Valley again to study and experiment with you. Please believe me, miss, this is my most sincere request. "
Seeing Chen Rui's eager eyes, Rolla, who wanted to make things difficult, couldn't help but soften her heart. She didn't pretend to be naive anymore. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded and said, "Okay …"
"Miss is really a reasonable person!"
Chen Rui was overjoyed, but he heard Miss Long said with a serious face, "But you have to help me complete the 14 yuan rune decomposition first."
Yuan was the basic unit of ancient runes. This 14 yuan rune field was the original field that Chen Rui "copied" from the Sword of Fallen Angel using the same ancient runes method. It was also a gift given to Rolla by the Little Mirror Lake that day.
"Decomposition?"
Rolla nodded, "En, if you are not here, it is difficult for me to complete the decomposition process smoothly alone. As for the follow-up experiment process, I can complete it independently."
Splitting unknown runes was a job that required considerable brainpower and technical content. Chen Rui had the skill of < Deep Analysis >, so he could calculate and process those rune fields extremely accurately. Therefore, in this regard, Rolla really couldn't do without him.
However, in the process of decomposition, there was a considerable chance that the activated rune would be induced to mutate. It might even be very dangerous.
Seeing that Chen Rui was still hesitating, Rolla added, "Well, if you complete this decomposition, I will remove the 6 yuan tracking rune mark on you."
6 yuan mark? It's even more ruthless than the 4 yuan mark I imagined … Chen Rui secretly thought that if it is a 6 yuan mark, then the time it takes to crack it is definitely longer than splitting the 14 yuan field. If I escape directly, the fairy dragon will definitely not give up. She will even use the mark to catch up.
"Okay, Miss Rolla," Chen Rui nodded, "Time is tight, let's start immediately."
