Although she saw Chen Rui secretly hinting, Jía did not immediately agree to Crawford. Instead, she showed a hesitant look. When it comes to magic circles, only Chen Rui is the best at it. However, the crystal mine vein is not a trivial matter for an estate or even an empire. Moreover, it is directly linked to Crawford's power and status. Crawford must have tried many times. He even invited the capital's master. In the end, he made a request to the Dark Moon, his ally, because he had no other choice. This crystal mine is likely to contain an unknown huge danger.
Seeing that Jía did not say anything, Chen Rui took the initiative to say, "Princess Royal, are you worried about the safety of the little princess after 'that one' leaves?"
Crawford quickly said, "Please rest assured that this is the Shadow Empire and the Bloody Vine Flower Estate. Her Majesty Empress attaches great importance to this visit. Even if there are Demon Overlord-level assassins, I can guarantee the safety of the 2 Royal Highnesses."
The implication was that Empress Catherine had sent a Demon Overlord-level powerhouse to secretly monitor and protect the Bloody Vine Flower Estate. She believed that even Obsidian or Bloodfall's people would not dare to cause trouble under her nose.
When Jía heard Chen Rui spoke like this, she hesitated a little and finally nodded, "General is my friend and also a friend of the Dark Moon people. I will definitely help you with this, but even a senior master like Master Rummenigge is missing. I'm afraid the problem of this crystal mine is not simple. We can guarantee to do our best. As for whether the problem can be solved, it depends on luck."
Crawford showed joy, "Thank you, Your Highness! If you can help me solve this biggest problem … When Monroe returned, he expressed to me that he wanted to officially join the Dark Moon's legion as an individual. At that time, I will use the resources of the military to send a thousand magician guards to accompany and protect Monroe. "
As soon as these words came out, Chen Rui and Jía's eyes lit up at the same time.
The magician legion's role on the battlefield was quite powerful. At present, the Dark Moon had 3 legions, Red Blood, Flame Light, and Moon Shadow, as well as the wyvern's air legion. They only lacked the magician legion. Although Jía had vigorously recruited them in this regard, the progress was far less than ordinary soldiers.
Crawford's meaning was obvious. The so-called protection of the guards was actually to give the Dark Moon a magician legion of 1,000 people.
It was a big deal to send out a team of a thousand magicians. It even exceeded the authority of the lord. However, considering Crawford's military identity as the third general, there would definitely be a special way. In any case, the general was now going to stake everything on one throw.
"We will do our best and not let the general down. Let's do it this way. I just received a message from Athena that I need to return to the Dark Moon to deal with some urgent matters. I will return to the Dark Moon secretly tomorrow morning and invite the master to come along."
Chen Rui had already planned to go to the Crystal Valley anyway. The so-called "that one" or "master" was simply a diversion to make Crawford unable to figure out the truth of the Dark Moon. In fact, after the assassination at the auction last time, Crawford's evaluation of the Dark Moon had increased by several levels after killing 2 Demon Overlords in an instant.
Jía understood what he meant. Since he was determined to make this trip, the identity of Chen Rui must disappear. She immediately said, "Then it's decided. By the way, General Crawford, I'm afraid our people will encounter some inconveniences in your estate …"
"This Bloody Vine Flower magic badge represents the lord's authorization. It can provide a lot of convenience. Now that the crystal mine has stopped mining, and it is heavily guarded. If necessary, the army can also be mobilized to assist." Crawford handed over a magic badge with the logo of the Bloody Vine Flower Estate.
Jía took the badge and nodded, "Without further ado, I will go back to arrange manpower and make some preparations now."
After Crawford sent Jía away, the doubts in his heart were revealed. In fact, he had reported the difficulties of the crystal mine to the capital long ago. Catherine the Great attached great importance to it. She sent an investigation team, but it was fruitless. Instead, more and more miners were missing. Later, he invited Master Rummenigge of the royal family, but he mysteriously disappeared underground. Crawford immediately reported it to the capital urgently, but Catherine the Great, who was resourceful, did not send a new master. She only gave a 4-word response.
Ask for help from the Dark Moon.
Crawford felt incredible. No matter what, the Dark Moon is just an estate. Can it solve the problem of an empire? Maybe Her Majesty Empress has any special intentions?
However, Crawford had always believed in Catherine the Great's decision. Now that Jía had agreed, it was better to wait and see. There might really be a surprise.
Jía and Chen Rui walked all the way out of the lord's mansion, took the carriage, and returned to Crawford's special residence.
This was a luxurious mansion. It was once the private property of a nobleman. It was purchased by Crawford. This time, it was specially used as a temporary residence for Jía and her party. It was considered well-mannered.
"How confident are you in going to the Crystal Valley this time?" Jía glanced at the lush flowers in the garden and asked faintly.
"I'm not sure. I have to see the situation there." Chen Rui shrugged habitually, "However, this is a magician legion of 1,000 people. Moreover, we can't lose Crawford as an ally now. Even if I'm not sure, I have to try. I will leave early tomorrow morning."
When he mentioned the Crystal Valley incident to Jía before, he only mentioned it briefly. Even Kia knew that he failed to save her mother, Freya. He just luckily escaped from the 3 Demon Overlords. After all, that "wonderful" past involved a certain Majesty of the Shadow Empire.
"Then, let Paglio go with you." Jía knew that Chen Rui encountered great danger in the Blue Lava Estate last time. After all, she could be more at ease with a peak stage of the Demon Overlord taking care of him.
"No need. Although Crawford said that someone is secretly protecting him, he is not as reliable as the people on our side, especially Alice. She likes to go out, so someone must secretly protect her. I have been to the Crystal Valley. In case of danger, it should be fine to escape. Paglio should stay with you for the time being. If there are any problems that can't be solved, I will contact him in time. "
Jía was silent. Chen Rui knew that she was worried about him, so he sneered, "At this time, as a sir lord, you should show a caring attitude. You should give your subordinates a lot of instructions and express your concern so that the subordinates will be grateful and swear to complete the mission with their lives. As the saying goes, do your best until death."
Jía glanced at him, "Then, as you wish, say something … Value determines the meaning of existence. Your current value does not allow any accidents."
"That's too straightforward." Chen Rui was a little speechless, "There's no such way to win over subordinates. You should at least say something sensational …"
"Do you think it's necessary to say that to a wretched subordinate who often goes beyond the rules?" Jía's sharp gaze fell on the claw that held her hand. The owner of the claw was naturally a certain wretched subordinate.
Although her gaze was sharp, she did not withdraw her hand. The wretched subordinate knew in his heart and sighed, "To be honest, there must be danger at the crystal mine. Even the senior master of the Mechanic Association is missing. I'm actually very uncertain, but for the Dark Moon and for you, I must go this time. There is also a confidential matter that I want to tell you before I leave. "
It seemed that there was an exaggeration in this sentence. In fact, for the sake of Master Rummenigge, he had to make this trip. However, when Jía and he first met, it started from such a "beautiful misunderstanding".
Jía reminded herself that there might be a problem with this guy, but she couldn't help but follow him a few steps to the back of a tree. As she was about to listen to his so-called secret, this guy unexpectedly leaned forward and hugged her slender waist from behind. His whole body was attached to her.
"I've wanted to hug my beloved Royal Highness like this outside for a long time. This is the biggest secret in the heart of a little financial officer."
"Asshole! What kind of secret is this? " Jía was very surprised. This is not the secret room or even the Dark Moon Palace, but the Shadow Empire! Although there are only 2 people now, there are maids and servants not far in front. This asshole is too bold!
As she was about to struggle, she heard a hateful voice in her ear, "This is an absolute secret. Your Royal Highness, be careful. It will be bad if you are discovered by others."
Before she could break free, her white jade-like neck was kissed. She trembled slightly, then the guy had already kissed her earlobe. This was the sensitive area of Princess Royal Highness. Her whole body suddenly softened.
The hateful hand had reached her chest and wandered around unscrupulously. She didn't know what method he used, but the bra was actually undone. The white jade-like peaks gradually became bigger in the man's grasp, and the pink buds at the end also stood up.
Sure enough, every good man has a pair of hands that are good at undressing people and superb massage skills.
Jía's ears were all red. Especially the strong stimulation that was similar to having an affair, it made her breathing more and more rapid.
At this moment, the voice of little loli suddenly came from a distance, "Sister! Where are you? "
Jía, who was confused and infatuated, suddenly woke up and pushed away a certain bold and wretched subordinate.
Princess Royal Highness hurriedly tidied up her clothes. She felt her face was burning: What's wrong with me? I'm actually being intimate with him in such a place. It will be troublesome if I'm seen by others.
After a while, little loli appeared in front of Jía and Chen Rui with Kia.
Alice, dressed in a strange outfit, turned around and said, "Look at my new clothes! Is it beautiful? "
Little loli bought the unique clothes of the Shadow Empire. She also covered her face with a veil, looking mysterious. Jía calmed her mind and nodded, "Not bad."
Little loli looked at Chen Rui again. The guy who had just molested her sister obviously had a guilty conscience, but he was just praising her for being beautiful. Alice proudly made a few poses and asked casually, "Sister, I heard from the maid that you came back early. Why didn't I find you just now?"
Before Jía spoke, Chen Rui spoke first, "Because I plan to rush back to the Dark Moon tomorrow morning to deal with urgent matters, so Princess Royal has a confidential matter to tell me alone."
As soon as Jía heard the word "confidential", the scene of being hugged and kissed by him just now appeared in her mind. A blush flashed across her face. Alice curled her lips in disappointment, "Why? You want to go back first?"
Little loli had been very excited previously, so she didn't notice the strangeness of her sister's expression, but a little maid with bright eyes was different. She even carefully noticed the red mark on Princess Royal's neck, then she glanced at the guy with ulterior motives beside her. As someone who had been through it, she suddenly understood something in her heart.
The guy finally finished dealing with little loli and pulled the little maid away from Jía's sight, but he was pinched hard by her fingernails. He saw the little maid said with a smile, "Dear master, before you leave, do you want to discuss some … life secrets with me alone? If I'm not satisfied, don't even think about leaving, okay? "
Chen Rui knew that his "secret" was exposed. Judging from the little maid's sour smile, if he didn't do his best tonight, perhaps he really wouldn't be able to leave.
