Chen Rui didn't know that his influence was so great that the men of the Demons temporarily betrayed their faithful belief in the Demon God. He was still absent-mindedly strolling on the street with the 2 ladies.
"The hot pot just now is so delicious." Liliz praised, "I have tasted it in the Dark Shadow's capital, but the taste is far less authentic than here. I'm wondering if I should use my power for personal gain and include the authentic Dark Moon hot pot recipe in our cooperation plan?"
Chen Rui smiled and said, "Ms. Liliz is really good at joking. This hot pot is the masterpiece of the Cloak Gang's leader, Aguile, but it is basically no secret. The main thing is that there are some subtle differences in the base material. Since Ms. Liliz likes it, I can make the decision to add a hot pot branch with excellent chefs in your empire's capital. I guarantee that Ms. can taste the authentic Dark Moon hot pot of various flavors at any time."
"Thank you so much, sir." Liliz changed the topic, "Speaking of the leader, Aguile, I heard that he is very mysterious. No one has seen his true face? As far as I know, many people are speculating whether the one who defeated the Red Spirit Lord Josh and the capital envoy, Rus, in the wilderness of Town Leith is the leader of the Cloak Gang? "
This speculation did exist in the hearts of many Dark Moon soldiers and civilians, but Aguile and the Cloak Gang did not receive any special rewards after the war. Moreover, Aguile seemed to be … just a Higher Demon who dueled with Arux a year ago? How did he soar to the level of Demon Emperor in one fell swoop?
"I also have such a guess, but Princess Jía once revealed that even she has not seen the true face of Aguile." Chen Rui lied through his teeth, "However, Princess Jía is very courageous and dares to use people. I, a foreign human, can serve as sheriff and financial officer successively is the best example."
"Princess Jía is indeed a strong, brave, and respectable female lord. She secretly worked hard in adversity and managed the decadent Dark Moon to a vibrant situation today." Lilith praised sincerely and glanced at Isis. "I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the royal hotel to rest first. I still have to report the details of this cooperation to Her Majesty the Empress. This time, I also want to buy some special gifts. Iciz also knows that, so please accompany her, Lord Chen Rui. "
Just like that, Lilith returned to the Royal Hotel to rest, while Chen Rui continued to accompany Isis shopping.
When Liliz was around, Iciz rarely spoke, but now she took the initiative to speak, "Sir Chen Rui, have all the residents of the Dark Moon City already used the new water system in the royal hotel?"
"Almost. This system is Master Xingxing's masterpiece. Didn't we talk about it in our cooperation just now? We will help the Bloody Vine Flower Estate build the same water supply and sewage system. I believe this kind of facility will soon be popularized throughout the Demon Realm. "
Iciz nodded, "This is really an amazing great creation. It is almost comparable to the grandmaster-level invention of the magic lamp. Master Xingxing will be recorded in the history of the Demon Realm as one of the most amazing mechanics. It's just that I have a doubt. Before this, Master Xingxing was just a free senior mechanic master. Why did he start to shine so brightly after coming to the Dark Moon? I'm not questioning the master's ability, but I'm thinking that the battle ball and water supply system are things that have never appeared in the Demon Realm … It seems that before the master came to the Dark Moon, some novel things also appeared in the Princess Retail Store, such as burr puzzle, demon-fighting chess, Huarong Dao and so on. I'm wondering if these factors can be connected? "
Terrifying deduction!
Chen Rui was secretly shocked, and he asked, "Ms. Iciz, do you believe in coincidence?"
Unlike Lilith, Iciz's face was covered with a thin veil. There seemed to be a clear outline in the haze, but her true face could not be seen. She said lightly, "I believe, but too many coincidences … or coincidences combined, it shows a certain inevitability. With Sir Chen Rui's wisdom, you should understand what I mean. "
Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "Those small artifacts in the Princess Retail Store previously were the works of some masters in the human world. However, because I didn't know any mechanics, I could only make something that was superficial. It was more of an entertainment effect. Later, when Master Xingxing came to the Dark Moon and saw these things, he was really inspired. According to Ms. Iciz, this is a kind of inevitability in coincidence. "
"Really?" Iciz asked again, "I also know a human from the Dark Shadow Empire's capital, but it's very strange. Whether it is Huarong Dao, demon-fighting chess, burr puzzle, independent diamond chess, rubik's cube, flying chess … including the rules of the battle ball, these should be widely spread great works, but they have never appeared in the human world above the ground! I don't know where Sir Chen Rui 'copied' these strange things from? "
Chen Rui was shocked. For the first time, he was seen through like this. Perhaps, a long time ago, when facing a noblewoman with amazing wisdom, he also had this feeling of being seen through.
However, his identity of "Master Arthur" should not have been seen through yet. The last time he was seen through in the Dark Shadow Palace, it was mainly because he mentioned the name Christina in the Masters' Tournament. Later, he was tentatively exposed by Her Majesty Empress.
Iciz listed almost all the "new things" in the Princess Retail Store, and she also found a human from the Demon Realm to confirm it. It seemed that she deliberately spent a lot of hard work to study and analyze a mere human like him. This also sounded the alarm for Chen Rui. Now that he, a human, had walked to the front stage from obscurity, some things must be covered up perfectly. Otherwise, if Iciz could see through the flaws today, Xue Wu or others could see through it in the future.
Chen Rui's mind turned quickly, and he said, "Has Ms. Iciz ever thought about why I, a powerless human, came to the Demon Realm? When I first came here, I was captured and became Master Aldas's experimental subject. If it weren't for some novel things that moved the master, I should be dead now. The demon-fighting chess is something I obtained in a very special domain in another world. This is also my secret. Ms. Iciz, the so-called humans of the Demon Realm may have far more power than me, but they shouldn't belong to a certain domain of our kind. It's not surprising that they don't know these things that only circulate in a certain domain. It's just like how I don't understand the power in your powerhouse's domain … Actually, what I want most now is to return to the human world and ask someone for everything that belongs to me. "
"It turns out that you were framed to come to the Demon Realm," Iciz said with a slightly surprised tone, "Then, things like the battle ball …"
"Unlike the demon-fighting chess and Diamond Chess that I copied, what I brought to some people like Master Xingxing was just some broader vision expansion or key inspiration. The battle ball was researched by Master Xingxing and Aguile. At that time, I fell into a deep sleep because of some people's plotting. If it weren't for Athena who found the Fountain of Resurrection, I might still be lying in bed like a walking corpse now." Chen Rui calmly pointed out the crisis when he first came to the Demon Realm and the "fact" that he slept for more than a month.
Iciz had studied him, so she naturally knew this. After thinking about it, she nodded lightly, "Aguile can create the rules of the battle ball. Can we assume that he is also involved in the water supply system and the production process of the battle ball? Or does he have more extraordinary talents in the field of mechanics? "
"Then only he himself knows, but a lot of what we talked about just now are the secrets of the Dark Moon. I have accidentally revealed some today. Miss, please give me a way out." Chen Rui looked a little nervous. He was more suspicious of Iciz's identity in his heart. It seemed that the object of her inference was approaching a certain mechanic master … or even a genius mechanic master. Fortunately, with the mysterious identity of Aguile as a scapegoat, her focus shifted to the leader of the Cloak Gang.
A few words almost made me reveal a terrifying wisdom, coupled with the true strength of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, this identity of Iciz … Chen Rui's heart beat a little uncontrollably. The faint familiar feeling in his heart seemed to be getting stronger.
Could it be that many new things in the Dark Moon attracted her attention, so she came here to observe and learn in person?
Fortunately, I am at the moment when I look nervous. Even if my heartbeat is detected by Iciz, it should not reveal any flaws.
There was a faint smile in Iciz's voice, "Sir is overthinking. With sir's talent, even in my Shadow Empire, it is enough to be a true pillar talent. If you have this intention, I can introduce sir to Her Majesty Empress."
Not knowing if it was a psychological effect, even this "poaching" gave Chen Rui a familiar feeling.
Regardless of whether Iciz was "her" or not, Chen Rui couldn't agree now. The Dark Moon had Athena, Kia, and Jía, as well as his friends and the situation that he worked hard to manage. He couldn't leave.
She was the empress of an empire. She had more helplessness, more concerns, and more involuntarily than the lord Jía. Moreover, she had her own ambitions.
Unless one day, I can have the power to ignore all this, then I can appear in front of her with my true appearance and self to give myself and her the right to choose. In a sense, the difficulty of this mission was S-level.
Before that, he should first stay in the Dark Moon and help Jía manage this thriving estate.
Chen Rui showed a surprised look, "It's not easy for the Dark Moon to have today's situation. I have no plans to leave here for the time being. Chen Rui appreciates Ms. Iciz's kindness."
This answer did not surprise Iciz. She nodded and said, "Sir Chen Rui's moral integrity is admirable. Here is a magic badge which is a special token of my Asmodeus Royal Family. If there are any unexpected changes in the Dark Moon in the future, sir can come to me. The door of the Shadow Empire is always open to sir."
"Then, thank you in advance, miss." Chen Rui knew that it would be unreasonable to refuse again, so he immediately put away the badge. In order to divert Iciz's attention from "Aguile", he immediately used a trump card, "I wonder if Ms. Iciz has heard of the name Bloodfall?"
Iciz's attention really became highly focused, and she asked, "Sir Chen Rui has heard of it too?"
"Like the 2 ladies' intentions, Bloodfall is very interested in the Dark Moon. He even proposed a series of cooperation conditions that are difficult to refuse. In the end, Princess Royal chose to cooperate with the Bloody Vine Flower Estate, which is actually to cooperate with the Shadow Empire. As Ms. Iciz saw, Princess Jía is a lady with persistence and persistence. "Chen Rui's words were half-true. In fact, Azgalor had not met Jía yet.
Iciz nodded approvingly, "Princess Jía is indeed an admirable princess."
Chen Rui looked worried, "It's just that we have chosen your empire as a partner now, and the Bloodfall, a vicious dark force, will never give up like this. If possible, I hope that miss can find a way to mobilize the powerful power of your empire to help the Dark Moon to deal a decisive blow to the Bloodfall. This will make our cooperation more stable and safe without any worries."
Iciz shook her head, "The power of the Dark Moon is obvious to all. Even Lord Josh was defeated by your mysterious powerhouse. Naturally, there is no need for an outsider like me to intervene. This is not in line with the original intention of our cooperation of non-interference in each other's internal affairs."
Obviously, Iciz saw through Chen Rui's strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, and she was unwilling to be used. Chen Rui sighed, "If it is just an ordinary member, there is naturally no need for your empire's power. However, according to the latest intel, this time, it is one of the leaders of the Bloodfall who came to the Dark Moon. His name is Azgalor."
As soon as Iciz heard Azgalor's name, the eyes behind the veil faintly revealed a sharp spirit. Chen Rui remembered that when he was in the Crystal Valley, Manu, who thought he had won, once introduced Azgalor's name in front of a certain empress. He immediately said, "The Dark Moon's strongest guest, Krobelu, once tested this person, and she actually felt that she was not his opponent at all. I'm afraid that this person's strength has reached the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord or even higher, so she helplessly asked your empire for help. Otherwise, once Azgalor launches a deliberate sabotage or assassination, the consequences will be unimaginable. No one in the Dark Moon will be able to stop him. "
Iciz was silent for a moment, and she finally said, "I can ask Your Majesty to mobilize powerhouses to help the Dark Moon solve this hidden danger, but I have a condition. When I was wandering just now, I saw that the urban reconstruction and planning of the Dark Moon are quite reasonable. The future development prospects are very broad. This should be the work of Sir Chen Rui. The Bloody Vine Flower Estate is my hometown. Now that the new lord has taken office, there are many things to do. I hope sir can provide a set of overall planning plan according to the local conditions. This happens to be in line with our spirit of mutually beneficial cooperation. "
Didn't you just say not to interfere in each other's internal affairs? Chen Rui shrugged with a wry smile, "Miss really knows how to take advantage of the situation … Uh, take advantage of the opportunity. I can't seem to find a reason to refuse. "
In fact, the so-called planning was actually just copying some of the ready-made urban facilities in the previous life.
Seeing Chen Rui's unconsciously shrugging, a strange expression flashed in Iciz's eyes. She asked lightly, "Do you believe in coincidence?"
"Huh?" Chen Rui didn't understand for a while.
"Nothing, it's just a small hypothesis." Iciz took a deep look at him and changed the topic, "Back to business, I need all the information about Azgalor that you have in your hands."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. In any case, the Dark Moon's crisis this time is truly resolved.
