President's office of the Bloody Empire Mechanic Association.
Chen Rui lowered his head and was being reprimanded by his "teacher", Nate.
Nate's face was a little ugly, "Young people are inevitably hot-blooded, but you caused such a big trouble for a woman. Do you have any future prospects? One is my nephew, and the other is my disciple. My face is about to be lost by you disappointing guys! "
"I'm sorry, teacher. I was too angry at the time. After thinking about it, I was indeed a little impulsive, so I specially came here to apologize to teacher." Chen Rui lowered his head with a remorseful look. In fact, he didn't do anything to Aebew. He just fed him some psychedelic potions with added ingredients, then stripped him naked and threw him on the streets of the capital.
Under the effect of the drug, Aebew's "hungry and coquettish" demeanor and the strange postures in various illusions were clearly seen by the passers-by. Many even took out their phones … Uh, photostone to record.
The raging flame of gossip had no boundaries. Even in this era without the Internet, this "video" would be widely circulated in the shortest time, making Aebew's popularity rise several levels out of thin air.
Probably for a long time, Aebew wouldn't even dare to go on the street, let alone touch Beluan.
"Hmph! But it's good that you saved Turia's daughter. Now Turia and Mavinna are husband and wife. Both of them are masters of the association. If something really happens to Beluan, I'm afraid it's hard for me to explain. " Nate glanced at Chen Rui, "You can't forget Beluan. Do you regret leaving Turia's apprentice?"
Chen Rui shook his head and said frankly, "Teacher, don't get me wrong. Once I decide, I will never regret it. It's just that … I do have some feelings for Beluan. But I know very well that now my energy should be focused on mechanics and make more efforts toward the goal of being the first in the Demon Realm. "
"Do you really want to be the first in the Demon Realm?" A faint sharp light flashed in Nate's eyes.
"Of course!" Chen Rui calmly changed the topic, "But I can't reach teacher's level in my lifetime. I just want to make my magic eyes talent great success and become the first appraiser. As long as I reach this level, I will not be afraid of not having any woman I want. "
"Well said! I appreciate your rationality the most. You know how to prioritize, unlike the useless Aebew who only thinks about women all day long! "Nate nodded with satisfaction.
"Teacher, I've basically memorized the information of the third level. I just need to slowly comprehend it. During this period of time, I have a special feeling that the magic eye talent urgently needs to accumulate more information. When the time comes, it might undergo another powerful mutation."
"A new mutation?" Nate's eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"
"I'm almost sure!" Chen Rui nodded affirmatively. "Ten years ago, I had a similar magic eye mutation. Back then, I could only identify the attribute, but after the second mutation, I could identify the material. He didn't know what new abilities he would have after the mutation was successful. It's like this, teacher. I want to go to the fourth floor of the Book Collection Hall and see if I can obtain the opportunity for the second mutation. "
"The fourth floor!" Nate's eyes narrowed as if he was lost in thought. Chen Rui learned from Master Turia that this floor had always been the biggest secret of the Book Collection Hall. Even the senior masters of the alliance must have Nate's permission to enter. Besides, not only a lot of contribution points were needed to enter, but they also had to prepare a lot of special materials that needed to be consumed.
There were not many masters in the entire alliance who had entered the fourth floor. In addition to the high contribution points requirement and the scarcity of materials, the time in it was also strictly limited. What everyone saw seemed to be different. Master Turia only went in once and Master Mavinna only went in twice. According to their memories, it seemed to be a very strange place with countless rich information. However, both of them couldn't remember what they saw afterward, but some special understanding or memory at that time still remained in their minds.
Nate thought for a long time, and he finally said, "Even if you are my direct disciple, you are not qualified to enter with your current qualifications and contribution points. However, your magic eyes talent is one of the most important forces for the future development and growth of the Bloody Empire Mechanic Association. I can specially allow you to enter, but the fourth floor is by no means as simple as the first 3 floors. It contains unimaginable things and even dangers. Special materials and special magic protection props must be prepared. After a while, when everything is ready, I will accompany you to try! "
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Rui was overjoyed. In fact, in case Nate didn't agree, he still had a backup move which was to use the God-Eating Mask to make Nate into a puppet to achieve this goal. At present, there was only one God-Eating Mask puppet, Kanita. Snowden had "died" in the civil strife of the Red Spirit Estate, so there was just one vacant spot.
It must be noted that the puppet was not omnipotent. It had been seen through by Azgalor and Samuel previously, and the Bloody Empire was likely to be the core force of the Bloodfall. It was difficult to guarantee that it would not be seen through by powerhouses, and there was a danger of all previous efforts being wasted.
Now that Nate agreed, it was naturally the best. However, with Chen Rui's current Demon Emperor strength, he could keenly feel that Nate's gaze when looking at him would occasionally have a strange look as if he was looking at a prey that was slowly fattened.
In fact, Chen Rui had never relaxed his vigilance against Nate in a certain aspect. After seeing through this look, he secretly sneered in his heart: You will have to pay for what you have done sooner or later.
Who is the hunter and who is the prey, I will know by then.
Nate said again, "Today is the 200th birthday of the third general, Adelaide. A grand reception will be held in the mansion. Raizen the Great and the princes will also come in person. I have received the invitation letter. Go change your clothes and go to the banquet with me later. "
"Me?" Chen Rui had already learned about Adelaide's birthday from Terun. The Demon Realm's 100th birthday was the most valued. Adelaide, who was originally a member of the royal family, was also the new third general of the empire. It was not surprising that Raizen led the princes there, but Chen Rui did not expect Nate to bring his disciple there.
"Your [Magic Eyes] talent has long been spread. You are now a little famous celebrity in the capital. Many people want to meet you. It's just the right time for you to see the big scene."
"But … His Majesty Raizen will also go, and many nobles … I …" Chen Rui lowered his head again. He originally wanted to explore Adelaide's background. The reason why he did this in front of Nate was completely to loosen the reins only to grasp better. This timid attitude was in line with Richard's "small place" background.
"That … teacher should bring Aebew."
"Hmph! Do you think Aebew still has the face to attend the banquet like this? "Nate snorted with dissatisfaction." Since you are my, Nate's, disciple, straighten your back! Remember some basic etiquette. You will still have to face many such scenes in the future. If I embarrass myself in front of His Majesty Raizen this time, forget about the 4th floor of the Book Collection Hall, I'd better get out of the alliance early! "
These words were both encouraging and stimulating. He was indeed a bit like a teacher. If Nate really regarded himself as a "teacher" who trained the younger generation like Turia, then one of Chen Rui's targeted plans might change accordingly. Unfortunately, Nate's position was most likely to be a "hunter".
Chen Rui shuddered in cooperation and nodded decisively, "Understood, teacher!"
At night, the third general's mansion in the inner city was very lively.
Guests from all over gathered. Almost all the influential figures in the capital were here. Adelaide was newly appointed as the third general, and it was his 200th birthday. It could be said to be double happiness. His usually cold face couldn't help but be full of smiles.
In the spacious hall, there were all kinds of food and wine. It was a bit like a buffet, but no one touched these food and wine now because everyone was waiting for the most distinguished guest to arrive.
Finally, Raizen the Great, the supreme ruler of the Bloody Empire, appeared at the gate, followed by several princes. Adelaide quickly led the crowd to welcome him. Everyone bowed and shouted "Your Majesty".
"Okay! Don't be too polite. Everyone, just do whatever you want. The protagonist tonight is our General Adelaide. "Raizen said as he walked into the hall. Everyone followed behind one after another.
The rules of the Demon Realm's banquet were indeed more casual. There was no special seating, and everyone was free to enter and exit the venue. Even if it was an occasion where the emperor came in person, small circles holding wine glasses and talking could be seen everywhere.
It was the first time for Chen Rui to witness the demeanor of the top powerhouse at such a close distance. Raizen was not tall; he had long black hair and an unremarkable appearance. The first impression he gave was ordinary.
This ordinary person seemed to be sitting at the highest position casually. He didn't deliberately restrain himself, nor did he deliberately show off as if there was no threat. However, the values shown by [Analytical Eyes] were all S +. This showed that Raizen's power had reached the realm of being completely controlled and applied freely. He had even touched the threshold beyond the peak. Chen Rui suddenly had a hunch that Catherine was not Raizen's opponent in a one-on-one fight. Even if her strength improved greatly after the last Nirvana and the black potion he gave her, it was the same.
The princes also had their own small circle, but no one stayed around Raizen. To be precise, no one dared to approach.
Seeing Raizen's high but empty throne, Chen Rui felt more lonely in his heart. Perhaps, the real powerhouse is lonely, and the real powerhouse must learn to enjoy loneliness.
In the distance, on the other throne, was she also this lonely?
Raizen's gaze slowly turned and fell on Chen Rui. He seemed to feel his gaze and emotions. When Chen Rui looked at that gaze, he only felt that the sea of his soul was trembling and rolling. Suddenly, only Raizen was left in the entire noisy hall. No, only those strange black eyes were left in the entire world. The power of those eyes penetrated straight into his heart as if all defenses had lost their effect.
"Your Majesty, this is my new disciple, Richard. He has a special magic eyes talent."
Nate's words made Chen Rui wake up suddenly, only to realize that he had come to Raizen with Nate at some point.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. Is this power? Or talent? I just took a look …
"Richard!" Nate saw Chen Rui was actually in a daze in front of Raizen the Great, and he frowned and reminded.
Chen Rui suddenly recovered. As he was about to salute, Raizen said, "Richard? Not bad. "
With a bit of appreciation in his voice, Chen Rui hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, I came from the countryside and don't know the rules. Just now, because I saw Your Majesty's power for the first time, I was nervous, so I came here unknowingly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Chen Rui deliberately "told the truth" because he also wanted to hide his power so that Raizen would not be suspicious.
However, this worry was obviously superfluous. For an "ant" like him, Raizen didn't spend too much effort. He just attributed some special feelings to the "magic eyes" talent. In fact, even Chen Rui's true strength was still not worth mentioning in front of Raizen.
Raizen praised, "Very good talent, but unfortunately you are not a combat cultivator but a mechanic. I hope this talent will allow you to set foot on the peak of your field in the future."
"Yes." Chen Rui was afraid of revealing his flaws, so he didn't dare to say much. He bowed respectfully.
It was already quite rare to get Raizen's evaluation of "very good". This sentence fell into the ears of the nearest Little Prince, Teris, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Rui a few more times.
Raizen didn't pay much attention to Chen Rui, and he asked Nate a few questions about the Mechanic Association. In the face of the first powerhouse, Nate also seemed particularly respectful and obedient, answering them one by one.
When Nate and his apprentice left Raizen's side, a familiar voice to Chen Rui sounded. It was Teris, "Master Nate."
Hearing the greeting, Nate hurriedly walked over with Chen Rui. There was only one person beside Nate, a woman.
Blue hair, mask, well-proportioned figure. It was the mysterious Demon Overlord girl that Chen Rui encountered in the special store, Tiffany.
Chen Rui remembered that he didn't see Tiffany at first, and she didn't come with Raizen. He didn't know how she appeared. There seemed to be a lot of accidents tonight.
Let's not talk about this mysterious girl first. First of all, Teris attracted Chen Rui's attention.
Race: Greed Royal Family.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: A-.
Physique: A-. Strength: A-. Spirit: A-. Agility: A-.
[Analysis]: Dark attribute.
Chen Rui clearly remembered that Teris's strength was only the peak of the Great Demon King B + at the beginning, and he was the type with weak strength and physique but strong spirit power. However, he had been upgraded to the Demon Emperor this time, and even the ratio of various values had changed. He had become the best early stage of the Demon Emperor with extremely balanced strength and spirit power.
This kind of advancement doesn't seem to be in line with the norm. It is by no means a simple breakthrough.
