At the end of the day's trading, Chen Rui's stall was the most enviable. Not to mention chatting for a few hours, it was finally bought by the mysterious lady. That guy actually leisurely pretended to be a customer. He wandered around in the market and bought a lot of things.
Although they had spent quite a lot of money, everyone knew that this "Simon" was the only stall in the entire market that could satisfy the noble lady, and it was not just a normal kind of satisfaction. It seemed that he would definitely get the ten times reward. No matter what, this guy had made a killing today.
In fact, money was really just a fleeting cloud for Chen Rui. The real gain this time was to get the precious clue of Fertile Yuan Soil, and he also bought many rare things including artifact materials. It was a worthwhile trip.
Sure enough, at noon, Chen Rui left the market with a guard under everyone's envious gaze.
The guard took Chen Rui all the way out of the bustling trade fair and came to the suburbs in the west. Chen Rui was a little puzzled. Why is the reward cashed in such a place?
When they came to a remote hut, there was a thin stranger with a cold face. He waved to the guard, and the guard saluted and retreated.
"My name is Mentila. I'm the leader of the secret intelligence department of the capital. The secret intelligence department is the secret legion responsible for the security of the capital. From now on, you will answer every question I ask. If there is any fraud or negligence, don't think about leaving here alive today."
Secret intelligence department? Chen Rui's mind moved. It should be an espionage department with the same nature as the Dark Demon. It seems that the 10 times reward this time is really a "surprise".
"Sir, didn't you say that there is a 10 times reward? I … "
"Didn't I say that you can only answer once I ask?" Mentila's Demon King-level aura suddenly burst out, making the little "Intermediate Demon", Chen Rui, unable to stand steadily. He even "cooperated" and almost fell to the ground.
Mentila looked at the effect of his aura with satisfaction and said, "What did you sell to that lady?"
Chen Rui replied timidly, "Those are just some gadgets I made myself. I used the magic array to muffle the sound for some entertainment effect. They don't have any special effect."
"I know you're talking about those worthless things. What I'm asking you now is, what is the thing that the young lady loves so much that she can't put down?"
"That's a crystal cube. It's a magic tool that I've collected for many years. It's a pity that there's only one left."
"Square crystal board? Are you sure there's only one? Can you make the same thing again? " Mentila's eyes narrowed. "If you can make a similar item, in addition to the 10 times reward, you will also get unimaginable wealth."
Chen Rui's eyes seemed to be glowing, but he shook his head regretfully. "That's the only precious prop, and I've tried many times, but I can't copy it. Otherwise, I would've sold it to Miss Tiffany."
"Very well, then there's no point in keeping you." Murderous intent flashed in Mentila's eyes. What this "Simon" said is basically consistent with the information obtained in the market, so there should be no problem.
Chen Rui had long felt that this guy had murderous intent. From the beginning when he revealed that he was the secret intelligence department's team leader, he didn't intend to let him, "Simon", leave alive, but he still felt strange about the motive of this murderous intent. He pretended to be shocked and stepped back, "Why? Didn't you say that if the young lady is satisfied, there will be 10 times the reward?"
"You should have a reward. You can only blame yourself for being reckless. You actually dared to be so close to the young lady and touched the taboo of a certain big shot. Just knowing her name is enough for you to die a hundred times! But you only have one life. I will torture you a hundred times until you die. " Mentila's murderous intent was exuding, and he said sinisterly, "Not only you, but everyone related to you will all be obliterated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his head tighten. There was already an extra hand that clasped his skull like an iron claw. Mentila was shocked. He instinctively felt that as long as this terrifying hand exerted a little force, his head could be completely shattered. With the strength of a Demon King, there was no room for resistance at all!
"Who is that so-called big shot? I'll give you 10 seconds to answer. If you want your head to explode, you can try to remain silent. " The other party's cold voice sounded. Mentila never thought that this weak peddler would actually transform into a powerhouse with terrifying power. That kind of hidden aura alone was enough to make him kneel on the ground. This person is … the Great Demon King? No! It's definitely not just the Great Demon King!
"Who are you!" Mentila's heart tightened all of a sudden.
"There are still 5 seconds." When Chen Rui slightly increased his strength, Mentila felt that the blood in his brain seemed to speed up by dozens of times, almost bursting. However, he gritted his teeth as if he had chewed something. His face quickly turned blue, and his eyes began to collapse.
Chen Rui knew that it was bad. When he let go, Mentila's body had softened and fell to the ground. His pale face had become gray, and green blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He had obviously committed suicide by taking poison.
It seemed that this Mentila was really a member of the Bloody Empire's secret intelligence department. He was ruthless and decisive. In order not to leak information, he actually committed suicide without hesitation. However, what Mentila said about "obliterating all related people" made Chen Rui shocked. He entered the special store through Tess's relationship. It seemed that Tess was in danger!
As soon as he thought of this, the figure in the hut had disappeared instantly.
Chen Rui changed his face and rushed all the way to Tess' Hotel in the southern suburbs. Before he reached the southern suburbs, he saw fire and smoke surging into the sky in that direction. An ominous omen suddenly surged in his heart, and he quickly sped up.
However, he was still a step late. When Chen Rui arrived at Tess' Hotel, the fire was coming to an end. It was extinguished by the nearby residents. The entire hotel had almost been burned to the ground. Several corpses that had not been completely burned were cleaned up. There was a corpse of a succubus that vaguely looked like Tess.
Although Tess's strength was not high, as the person in charge of the Dark Demon in the Bloody Empire, her intelligence and adaptability were top choices. Chen Rui could be sure that she was killed first and then set fire to destroy the traces. Not only Tess, but even several residents in the hotel were also affected. Not sure if it was because the southern suburbs were remote or because the garrison guards responsible for the capital's security were focused on the trade fair, they only arrived late when the fire was about to be completely extinguished.
The cause of this incident should not be the exposure of Tess and the Dark Demon's power, but "a certain big shot" killed Chen Rui out of jealousy or other considerations because Simon, who was disguised by Chen Rui, had contact with the girl named Tiffany. Chen Rui didn't know who this person was. He was actually so vicious. Not only Chen Rui himself, but even Tess, who was only a "distant relative" on the surface, and even the innocent travelers were not spared!
There was a strong anger and killing intent in Chen Rui's heart. I didn't expect Tess to be implicated like this. Although Tess was sacrificed, there were still members of the Dark Demon in the Bloody Empire. I must thoroughly investigate this matter. No matter who the big shot behind the scenes is, I must make the other party pay the price!
Chen Rui's mind moved, and he returned to the western suburbs as quickly as possible. At this time, Mentila's body was still lying on the ground in the hut. Judging from the surrounding traces, no one had been here. Obviously, Mentila killing "Simon" was a sure thing, so there was no need to arrange more manpower.
Chen Rui put away Mentila's body, then he used < Camouflage > to transform into his appearance and swaggered out.
The merchant "Simon" must disappear so as not to arouse too much suspicion. As for the secret intelligence department where Mentila was, it should be the most secret intelligence agency of the Bloody Empire. Judging from Mentila's determination to commit suicide immediately, it was probably difficult to sneak in. Therefore, after "Mentila" killed the damn merchant Simon, he must "disappear" for a period of time. When necessary, his body might come in handy.
The urgent task was to gather the rest of the Dark Demon members first. Before Isabella officially appointed a new person in charge, he must maintain the continuity of the intelligence on the Bloody Empire's side and focus on investigating the relevant intelligence of Tiffany and a certain big shot.
The next day, a man wearing a mechanic apprentice costume appeared in front of the Mechanic Association Building of the Bloody Empire.
The scale of the Mechanic Association of the Bloody Empire was far greater than that of the Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire. President Nate was known as the top mechanic master of the Demon Realm, but it seemed relatively deserted today because the Mechanic Association had a special store at the trade fair to sell equipment and materials to the outside. The business was very popular, and most of the manpower was invested there.
"Fill in this form and pay the assessment fee of 100 black crystal coins. Then, you can go to the assessment center on the 4th floor to participate in the assessment certification."
"100 black crystal coins?" Chen Rui was stunned. I only used 50 black crystal coins for the Mechanic Association assessment in the Shadow Empire. Why is the price of the same ordinary mechanic assessment here doubled?
"You're from another place, right?" The registrar raised his head, looked at him a few times, and said impatiently, "Our Bloody Empire Mechanic Association has the top mechanic master in the Demon Realm, and our mechanics are also the strongest at the same level. The mechanic you successfully certified in the Bloody Empire is simply two different levels from those in other empires. Think about it yourself whether this 100 black crystal coins is worth it or not."
There is actually a brand effect? Chen Rui secretly sneered. If I really want to compare, Nate may not be the real top of the Demon Realm. He just used the rules of the masters contest to win. In terms of metal proficiency alone, Master Anderson of the Shadow Empire is better than Nate. Besides, Nate still has something that cannot be seen.
Although he thought so, he still took out the black crystal coins happily, "I see. I have been learning from my teacher in a remote estate. Later, my teacher died of illness, so I came to the capital for the assessment. I don't know these rules. I'm really sorry. Thank you for explaining."
The registrar saw the extra 20 black crystal coins and Chen Rui's meaningful smile. He glanced around carefully and put it away calmly. His impression of this outsider apprentice suddenly increased by a few levels.
"Richard, you are a smart person." The registrar glanced at the name on the form and said with a smile, "There are several masters on the fourth floor who are qualified for the certification assessment. You can choose the corresponding master according to your most proficient proficiency. The chances of passing are much higher. For example, Master Olastan of Office No. 7 is good at metal proficiency and likes fire magic materials; Master Turia of Office No. 4 is good at leather proficiency and likes spirits … "
Under Chen Rui's little bribery, the registrar revealed the preferences and temperament of the alliance's masters. In the end, he specially reminded, "By the way, you'd better not go to Office No. 13. Sir Horford. Samuel, the secret disciple of Sir Nate, is there. This sir is a dual proficiency in metal and leather. He is also the most promising genius mechanic master to inherit the president. When Sir Nate was experimenting behind closed doors some time ago, the affairs of the alliance have been temporarily managed by Sir Horford. However, Sir Horford's temperament is weird and not easy to get along with. If you're not sure, it's better not to hit the wall. "
Horford? Chen Rui immediately thought of the dual proficiency master who was defeated by him in the Shadow Empire's mechanic contest. It seemed that he actually used his real name. He probably wanted to become famous in that mechanic contest, but unfortunately, he met Chen Rui, the evildoer, and he became a background character.
Not only that, after Chen Rui went undercover into the Crystal Valley, he also met Horford. Later, there was great chaos in the Crystal Valley, and the Mystic Valley was also destroyed by Chen Rui's scheme. Horford was missing. Unexpectedly, he did not die and returned to the Bloody Empire.
Chen Rui could be sure that Horford was definitely related to the Bloodfall, and the first general of the Bloody Empire, Gustav (Bridget), was the current patriarch of the Samuel Royal Family. Horford was likely to be an important member of the Bloodfall organization.
However, Chen Rui didn't rush to decide to plot against Horford. He sneaked into the Mechanic Association this time for more important things.
"By the way, sir, my teacher once said that there are countless precious mechanics classics and materials in the Mechanic Association. I have always been eager for them. I wonder if I can browse and read them?"
"Our classics and materials here are the most abundant in the three empires. We have a special Book Collection Hall." The registrar showed pride, "However, the Book Collection Hall has strict authority restrictions. Only mechanics certified by the Alliance can enter. The higher the level, the higher the contribution points and authority required."
The registrar who received the commission seemed very enthusiastic. He introduced in great detail and even helped Chen Rui to plan, "For newcomers, contribution points are more difficult to accumulate, and some levels require a master to enter. If it's not enough, it's also a shortcut to find a master as a teacher. However, even if a master spends contribution points, he may not be able to access the core-level information. He must get the special permission of the president, Sir Nate. "
Chen Rui nodded. The rules of the Bloody Empire Book Collection Hall were similar to the ancient magic tower of the Dark Shadow Empire. For now, it was better to pass the mechanic assessment first.
He bid farewell to the "enthusiastic" registrar and went straight to the assessment center on the fourth floor.
