"Sir Galor." Chen Rui frowned, "I don't think I'm a fool, but I still don't understand the meaning of this sentence."
Azgalor was still smiling, "With sir's talent, you are qualified to be the finance minister of an empire. The current financial officer is a waste of talent."
"I'm just a weak 'alien'. Besides, the current financial officer is already a rare high position. Can I still be a lord?"
Azgalor showed a mysterious look, "There is a saying in the Demon Realm that there is nothing impossible. It's not impossible to be a lord as long as sir wants. "
"I've also heard an old saying in the Demon Realm that there is no reaping without sowing." Chen Rui deliberately asked, "So … which empire does Sir Galor represent? What is your purpose in coming to the Dark Moon? "
"My purpose is closely related to Sir Chen Rui's needs. The more ambitious sir is, the more generous the conditions I can give sir."
Listening to Azgalor's tone, does he really want to recruit me? Or use me, the financial officer, to subvert the Dark Moon? Chen Rui always felt that something was amiss. In the battle of Town Leith's wilderness, he showed a fearless spirit of defending Jía to the death. Now, he definitely can't "betray" so easily. Moreover, the identity of Chen Rui involved too many things. He was not like Master "Arthur" who could escape at any time, so he would not consider being a spy for the time being.
"If you weren't Kia's father, you might be in prison now." Chen Rui stood up and said faintly, "Since you are Kia's father, I will make it clear that I can't betray Princess Royal. I am self-aware of my own abilities and identity. I'm by no means a lord or a finance minister. The current financial officer is the most suitable position for me. It can allow me to exert my true talents. If sir came just for the fruitless solicitation, then you can go back now. For the sake of Kia's usual diligent service, I can let you leave the Dark Moon safely. "
Although he said so, Chen Rui was still a little nervous. After all, the other party was the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. Once he turned hostile, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he just wanted to take Kia away, no one in the Dark Moon could stop him.
Azgalor stared at Chen Rui for a moment and suddenly laughed. After a while, he put on a satisfied look, "Not bad! Whether it was humans or Demons, the rarest thing was self-awareness. Chen Rui was indeed a persistent and wise person. I can also rest assured to keep Kia by your side. "
Chen Rui looked puzzled, but he was relieved. At least he could keep Kia by his side as a "spy" for a long time, which was more or less a gain.
Although he had broken through to five-star evolution, there was still a considerable gap from the Demon Overlord, especially the strongest peak stage of the Demon Overlord.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and some kind of willpower became firmer.
Power, I still need stronger power! I must protect everyone I cherish around me!
"I was impolite just now. This small gift is an apology. It is also my gratitude to Sir Chen Rui for taking care of Kia. Please continue to take care of me in the future." As Azgalor said, he handed over a space ring.
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and took it. There was a large amount of black crystal coins and a magic bracelet inside.
"That bracelet is a quasi-legendary grade magic equipment. It can automatically release protective magic and teleportation magic. I'm sorry to say that Sir Chen Rui's strength is a weakness. You should pay attention to your own safety. If I have malicious intentions today, sir will be in danger." Azgalor pretended to be honest. The role of this quasi-legendary grade equipment actually had a certain limit, but for the human financial officer, it was tailor-made and very practical.
"Sir Galor, don't beat around the bush anymore." Chen Rui did not refuse. He kept the gift, and his tone was much more polite, "Although I don't have much power, I can see with my eyes that sir is by no means an ordinary person. Please tell me what you want."
Azgalor nodded, "Sir Chen Rui is a smart man. You should know that although the Dark Moon has defeated the Red Spirit Estate and the Blue Lava Estate, and its economy and military are developing rapidly, it does not mean that it is far away from the crisis. On the contrary, the Dark Moon's hidden power is exposed to the Fallen Angel Capital. It is only a short calm before the storm at present. The strength of the Fallen Angel Capital is by no means comparable to the 2 estates. Regent Obsidian himself is the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. By then, the Dark Moon's situation … "
"What does this have to do with sir's intention today?"
"My true identity is the vice president of the Bloody Empire's Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. The controller behind the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is Royal Highness Aleus, the Great Prince of the Bloody Empire. I came under the order of Royal Highness Aleus. I want to meet Princess Royal Highness of the Dark Moon to discuss the cooperation between the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce and the Dark Moon. This kind of cooperation is not only in business but also in other aspects … Royal Highness Aleus is a genius who has reached the Demon Overlord realm. He is recognized as the most promising person to inherit the throne of the Bloody Empire. If the Dark Moon can become a partner of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, then even Prince Obsidian will have to be cautious. He will absolutely not dare to act rashly. "
Hearing Azgalor's words, Chen Rui thought quickly in his heart. The so-called Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is most likely the power of the Bloodfall. Then the Great Prince of the Bloody Empire, Aleus, is actually a member of the Bloodfall force! Could it be that the real mastermind of the Bloodfall is Aleus? Or even higher … Raizen the Great?
Perhaps only the top powerhouse of the Demon Realm can control the crystal dragon and Azgalor to use the Bloodfall organization to create this kind of peaceful evolution trick when the 3 empires have signed a truce contract?
Chen Rui faintly felt that something was wrong. Azgalor, Manu, and others were ambitious. They obviously wanted to restore the lost glory of the royal family. The impression that the "Bloodfall" gave him was more like an organization that wanted to subvert the existing forces of the Demon Realm and re-establish the regime. Then putting aside Raizen, if Aleus is really the leader of the Bloodfall, then his purpose is … Could it be that he wants to overthrow my father?
In any case, when Azgalor came here, it meant that the Bloodfall's eyes had fallen on the rising Dark Moon. They wanted to take advantage of the crisis that the Dark Moon was currently facing and Jía's desire to restore her position to incorporate the Dark Moon into the power of the Bloodfall. Then, they would use the identity of Princess Royal Jía to subvert and control the entire Fallen Angel Empire step by step.
The previous attempt to win over me, the financial officer, was just to test the waters.
Azgalor saw that Chen Rui was lost in thought, and he only knew that Chen Rui was tempted. He didn't know that this insignificant human was actually the culprit who destroyed his foundation, the Crystal Valley. Moreover, Chen Rui already knew his identity and true intentions.
"The identity of Sir Galor surprised me." Chen Rui finally said, "If it's just a business cooperation, I can make the decision directly now … It's just that this matter must be reported to Princess Royal Highness first, then I can give sir a reply. It will be up to Princess Royal Highness to decide whether to see sir or not. Princess Royal seems to be training behind closed doors today, so she won't see any guests. Can Sir Galor please stay in the Dark Moon for a few days? I will introduce sir to meet Princess Royal at that time. "
With Azgalor's strength, if he really wanted to see Jía, even if Chen Rui tried to stop him, it would be useless. At present, it was better to stall for time first.
"Of course." Azgalor nodded with satisfaction and handed over a space ring. "The previous small gift represents my personal gratitude to sir for taking care of Kia. Then, this gift represents the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's gratitude to sir for introducing me. This cooperation was incomparably huge for the benefits of both sides. Sir's words in front of Princess Royal are quite weighty. Once the cooperation is successful, there will be generous rewards. "
The black crystal coins in this space ring are 10 times more than the previous one. Bloodfall is really generous. Chen Rui didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the ring and rolled his eyes, "Well, I'll go to the palace now to see if Princess Jía has completed her training. If she really hasn't, then please wait for a day or two more."
"No problem, thank you sir." The smile on Azgalor's face was even stronger. He told Chen Rui the hotel where he was staying and got up to leave.
Chen Rui sent Azgalor to the door and quickly walked toward the palace.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the outer courtyard of the palace, he saw Kaguli coming out. After the war of lords, the internal duties of the Dark Moon were adjusted. Kaguli was appointed as the deputy commander of the Red Blood Imperial Guards due to her outstanding performance in the Town Leith wilderness battle. She was responsible for the palace guard. Her brother, Kaguron, focused on recruiting and training the new army. As for Alice in the Princess Retail Store, not only there was Kia, but there was also the magic circles and props carefully designed by Chen Rui. Delia's Dark Demon members were also paying attention and protecting at all times. The safety factor was much higher than before.
Kaguli and Chen Rui were old acquaintances. When she saw him coming, she was stunned. She called him aside and whispered, "Sir Chen Rui, you came at the right time. Princess Royal Highness just wants to see you. Now Princess Royal is meeting 2 important guests in the council hall. Please go quickly."
Chen Rui looked at Kaguli's mysterious and cautious look, nodded, and walked all the way into the council hall. He found that there were no guards around the council hall. It seems that the origin of these 2 distinguished guests is not simple. Since Bloodfall has come to Chen Rui just now, and he also promised, he will definitely not meet Jía directly so soon. Otherwise, he will not use Kia to get in touch with him.
Chen Rui walked all the way into the council hall and saw Jía talking about something with 2 people.
Both of them were women with attractive figures. They were sitting opposite Jía in a blue robe, and there was a woman in black standing behind her. Both women's faces were covered with veils.
This costume was a bit familiar to Chen Rui. It seemed to be the usual dress of women in the Shadow Empire.
A prompt immediately appeared in the [Analytical Eyes]:
The race of the woman in the blue robe is the Lust Royal Family. Her comprehensive strength has reached A- (A-), early stage of the Demon Emperor.
Sure enough, it is the Asmodeus Royal Family of the Shadow Empire. It seems that the Dark Moon has a gathering of powerful people this time.
What really shocked Chen Rui was the woman in black who looked like a bodyguard behind her.
Race: Lust Royal Family.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: A (S +).
Physique: A (S +), Strength: A (S +), Spirit: A (S +), Agility: A (S +).
[Analysis]: None at the moment.
This inconspicuous woman in black is actually the peak stage of the Demon Overlord!
Today in the Dark Moon, I actually saw 2 of the strongest peak stage of the Demon Overlord in a row!
Chen Rui suddenly felt his heart beating wildly. How many peak stage of the Demon Overlord are there in the Asmodeus Royal Family? How many are women?
The woman in black seemed to keenly feel this subtle emotion. She glanced at him, and a strange feeling inexplicably surged in Chen Rui's heart. It seems a little familiar.
Illusion?
That's impossible!
The eyes of the woman in black were also a little puzzled. She stared at him for a moment, then she looked away again.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and bowed to Jía, "Princess Royal Highness, I have something important to report. I met Madam Kaguli at the door, and I just learned that Your Highness summoned me."
When there were outsiders, Chen Rui naturally did enough etiquette. Jía nodded, "No wonder you came so quickly. You can report later. Come and meet the 2 distinguished guests. This is Lady Liliz, and the one behind is Commander Iciz. Both ladies are members of the Asmodeus Royal Family of the Shadow Empire. "
Iciz? Very unfamiliar name.
Chen Rui had calmed down, and he bowed to the 2 women, "Dark Moon Sheriff Chen Rui greets 2 distinguished ladies."
Liliz said, "I have long heard of Sir Chen Rui's reputation as a capable official. Seeing you today, you really have an extraordinary demeanor. I just happened to be talking to Princess Jía about sir's deeds. Sir Chen Rui can be said to have great credit for the Dark Moon to have today's soaring situation."
Chen Rui quickly said a few humble words, walked over, and stood behind Jía.
Liliz said straightforwardly, "Princess Jía, I came to the Dark Moon this time because I was entrusted by Her Majesty Catherine. I hope to establish a close cooperative relationship with the Dark Moon."
Chen Rui's heart moved. Does the empress also want to use the Bloodfall? Quietly support Jía and use peaceful evolution to subvert and control the Fallen Angel Empire? With Catherine's wisdom, such a strategy is not impossible.
When Jía heard Catherine's name, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, "I'd like to hear the details."
"The cooperation between the Shadow Empire and the Dark Moon has actually begun a long time ago. The Custer Family and the Dark Moon have established a joint chamber of commerce. The Princess Retail Store has opened a branch in the Dark Shadow's capital, and the business is booming. Including the capital and the surrounding estates, they have begun to imitate the Dark Moon to establish night markets, auction houses, and other facilities. Her Majesty Empress is quite interested in the battle ball and the Dark Moon's recent magic soil improvement technology. She hopes to establish an informal cooperative relationship with the Dark Moon. "
There were also many barren and backward estates in the Shadow Empire. Catherine obviously wanted to introduce soil improvement technology through this cooperation to make the empire stronger. The battle ball could enhance the physique, and it was very entertaining. It had long been imitated everywhere, but that kind of ball was very special. It seemed to be made of dozens of superb materials, so it couldn't be imitated. Moreover, the Dark Moon sold it in limited quantities, so it had not become popular for a while.
Perhaps Her Majesty Empress also had the ambition to compete for hegemony. Judging from the current strategy of the Dark Moon, Catherine and Bloodfall were still two different concepts. One was an overt scheme to strengthen oneself, and the other was a conspiracy to subvert the opponent.
Jía was silent, and Chen Rui said, "Ms. Liliz, please forgive me for being rude to ask. What benefits can the so-called 'informal' cooperation of your empire's Her Majesty Empress bring to the Dark Moon?"
As Azgalor said, the current situation of the Dark Moon was indeed not optimistic. In addition to Obsidian, there was also Bloodfall. At this time, the Shadow Empire just happened to come to the door, so they must definitely grasp this critical opportunity.
