Although there were still doubts about Tiffany's identity in his heart, Chen Rui still left Mountain Seckred with satisfaction. In addition to the biggest gain of Fertile Yuan Soil, he also unexpectedly obtained a trace of Demi-God-level power. As for the badge, it could also play an unimaginable role at certain times.
Satan once said that he would not care about the rise and fall of the Demon Realm Empire. This sentence did not seem to be false because the Demi-God-level powerhouse was originally a legendary existence that transcended the mortal world, so Chen Rui should not worry about the leakage of his [Gravity], [Elemental Blessing] and other skills, which would arouse the suspicion of people with ulterior motives.
However, Chen Rui did not relax his vigilance against Satan because of the benefits he got. He faintly felt that Satan had an instinctive rejection or disgust for him. In this case, he actually gave me such a big benefit. He must have a deeper purpose.
I don't know if there is any trick in this kind of bestowal power.
Since the entrance to the abyss is extremely difficult to encounter, then the requirement to find it is just "incidental". The real purpose should be something else. However, it is useless to think too much now. To put it bluntly, I am just a chess piece. It is useless to escape. Before I am not qualified to become a player of that level, I can only act according to the situation.
In the whole world, everyone is a chess piece. It's just that the chess game is different. I need to return to the chess game I play now.
Not to mention the benefits of Mountain Seckred, this trip to the Bloody Empire itself had a lot of gains. First of all, he exposed Nate's true colors and avenged Master Fonsaq. Then, he used Adelaide's death to escalate the dispute between several princes, further stirring up the Bloody Empire, and at the same time, he framed Bloodfall, causing Bloodfall to suffer heavy losses under Raizen's heavy punch. Of course, there were also the precious basic law insights obtained on the 4th floor of the Book Collection Hall.
However, Chen Rui still felt suspicious about the little prince, Teris. That night exploration failed, and he was injured by Gustav. However, Gustav appeared in Teris's mansion so quickly, and he even knew the characteristics of the magic circle in the mansion. This was enough to explain some problems.
After calculating, he had been in the Bloody Empire for more than 2 months. He must rush back to the Dark Moon as soon as possible, not only to avoid suspicion from people with ulterior motives, but there must be a lot of things waiting to be resolved. Unfortunately, the maximum limit of star points was 2. Due to temporary needs, both star points were changed to the Bloody Empire. Otherwise, he could return to the Dark Moon in the blink of an eye.
Chen Rui didn't choose to cross from the Black Iron Mountain Range of the Dark Shadow Empire to the Bloody Vine Flower Estate and detour from Town Leia to the west of the Dark Moon Estate because it would be a big detour. Moreover, the wyvern he rode last time had already automatically returned to the Dark Moon under the original order.
Chen Rui chose to go south from the Bloody Empire and enter the Fallen Angel Empire through the Warlock Fortress of the Fallen Angel Empire. This was much faster.
After making up his mind, Chen Rui immediately used the [Star Gate] to return to the Bloody Empire's capital. At this time, the capital was in a tense atmosphere. Not only the Bloodfall, but some spies and forces of other empires were also hit to varying degrees. Since the Dark Demon received Chen Rui's notice in advance, their losses were minimized. At present, the Mechanic Association was running for a new president. The most popular candidates were the 2 candidates. The first was Chen Rui's old rival, the duo-specialized master, Horford, and the other was actually Master Turia.
Turia's wife, Mavinna, was also a master. She was also the leader who organized the masters to settle accounts with Nate that day. More importantly, Turia was the former teacher of the late "genius" Richard who exposed Nate's true colors.
Horford's talent and skills were higher, but his temperament was eccentric and his popularity was poor. In contrast, Turia was much more popular, so he was also the most promising candidate to become the president.
Chen Rui did not stay in the Bloody Empire to watch the excitement of the election, and he went straight south. As for Ms. Beluan, who was still sad … Perhaps "Richard" was just a passerby in her life. Besides, "Richard" was already dead. If we are fated, let's talk about it in the future.
Chen Rui asked the Dark Demon to get a mutated griffin. He went all the way south from the Bloody Empire to the Iron Fist Estate at the fastest speed. Then, he changed to a carriage, crossed the border, and headed for the Warlock Fortress.
Although the Bloody Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire had a peace agreement, there were constant small frictions at the border. Fortunately, the main road was relatively safe. Due to the recent rise of the Dark Moon, the business exchanges between the 2 empires were increasing day by day. The Bloody Empire merchants entered the Fallen Angel Empire through this road. Chen Rui mixed in a caravan, successfully passed the inspection, and entered Town Black Cloud in the Fallen Angel Empire.
Town Black Cloud was the place where Athena and Lomont met. Its scale was even larger than Town Leia. Soldiers of the Warlock Fortress could be seen from time to time. Behind Town Black Cloud was the strongest barrier of the Fallen Angel Empire against the Bloody Empire, the Warlock Fortress. It was guarded by the first general of the Fallen Angel Empire, George. Wales. This time, Chen Rui not only wanted to use the fastest route to return to the Dark Moon, but he also wanted to visit his father-in-law on the way.
Compared with Kia's captured "father", Azgalor, Athena's father, General George, was the real father-in-law. Whether it was bloodline or the love and care for his daughter, it was incomparable to ordinary fathers.
General George once visited the Dark Moon to inspect his son-in-law's classmates. When he thought that Chen Rui was just a human with a little wisdom and no power, the first general still did not object to the relationship between Athena and Chen Rui. The reason was very simple. His daughter liked him.
With George's identity as the number one figure in the military, his daughter, Athena, should have been destined to a political marriage. However, George did not hesitate to refuse all the family's marriage requests. He was even unshaken by the so-called "continuation of the Wales family name" threats. This was his courage.
Chen Rui still clearly remembered that his father-in-law once said a sonorous and powerful sentence, "Will I sacrifice my daughter's happiness in exchange for the family's interests? If I fall to this step, then the Wales family name will lose its meaning of existence! If Athena doesn't agree, then I don't agree. Those who don't agree can come to the Warlock Fortress to fight with me. I'll kill one if one comes; I'll kill a pair if two come; I'll kill three if three come! So what if it's Obsidian who seized the Lord of Midnight Sun's estate? If he annoys me, I'll still rebel against him! "
Listening to it now, there was still an impulse to take off his hat to pay tribute to the first general. With such a personality charm, no wonder even the poison dragon feels like General George at first sight.
Chen Rui did not stay in Town Black Cloud. He left the caravan and went straight to the Warlock Fortress.
The Warlock Fortress was a large fortress built against the mountain. The terrain was extremely dangerous. It was the only way to the White Feather Estate. The fortress was not the same as the castle. The structure inside was extremely compact. It could provide more intensive crossfire support. The unit area could accommodate more soldiers and provide stronger defense capabilities. Except for a normal road used for traffic, there were no civilian facilities or civilians in the fortress. It was more like a giant checkpoint. This was completely different from the layout of ancient cities in China that included residents.
The only way was from the belly of the mountain. On both sides were heavily guarded cliffs and all kinds of military facilities. There were fully-armed soldiers and magic weapons on top of them. If any passersby acted strangely, they would be activated immediately. This long passage was actually a powerful armed cordon. No one knew how many forces were ambushed.
Chen Rui nodded secretly. It is indeed one of the most powerful fortresses in the entire Demon Realm. The spirit and equipment of the soldiers are better than the average army. They are not inferior to the elite legions of the Bloody Empire. The entire fortress shows an indestructible and powerful momentum. No wonder my father-in-law can always occupy the position of the first general. Whether it is defense or commanding troops, he has his own uniqueness.
In the central fortress command center of the Warlock Fortress, General George was carefully watching the magic military map. This map was three-dimensional. It was somewhat similar to a sand table. It had more comprehensive functions than the general sand table. It could even simulate attack and defense. General George frowned tightly, showing a worried expression. He had been frowning for several days.
A guard came to report, "General! There is a businessman, Simon, who claims to be from the Dark Moon. He brought a letter from Ms. Athena to give to you. "
When General George heard his beloved daughter's name, he suddenly became a little more energetic, "Where's the letter?"
The guard immediately handed over a letter. Idu knew that for the letter to be directly handed over to him, it must have gone through an effective inspection to make sure that there were no traps or poisons in it before it was presented to him.
When he opened it, there was only one sentence in it, "Requesting to see sir general. A person who once gave sir general 5 bottles of potions and 1 fruit in the Dark Moon is here."
The text of this sentence was even shorter than the signature, but George's eyes lit up. He said, "Bring this person here immediately!"
Soon, Chen Rui appeared in the command center of the central fortress. George looked at him a few times and ordered the guard to retreat.
When the guard left, Chen Rui's face changed rapidly and returned to the human face that George was familiar with.
"Transformation?" A look of surprise flashed in George's eyes, "Why didn't I feel any magic fluctuation just now?"
Chen Rui smiled slightly, "It can be said that … it is a talent similar to transformation. We haven't seen each other for a long time, sir general."
"It's not too long according to the time." George said with emotion, "According to the events that happened, it feels like things have changed with the passage of time. I thought I had paid enough attention to you at the beginning, but I didn't expect that your ability was still above my expectations. "
Since George left the Dark Moon last time, there had been too many changes. The most prominent was the rise of the Dark Moon. From a declining estate controlled by the capital, it became the largest estate with a leap in military and economic power. On the contrary, the capital, Regent Obsidian had been questioned by the estates and many families in the capital because of the "fundraising money" problem. He was currently in a terrible situation. The Dark Moon's momentum and prestige had become more and more prosperous, and it had established a cooperative relationship with the Shadow Empire. It had faintly overshadowed the capital.
The outside world might have guessed that it was due to the human financial officer, but George knew that all this was simply the result of his "son-in-law"'s planning.
Chen Rui said a few modest words, and George asked again, "I heard that at the last auction, 2 Demon Overlord-level assassins wanted to assassinate the Bloody Vine Flower Estate Lord of the Shadow Empire, but they were captured and killed in an instant. What I want to know now is, has the Dragons' friend, Paglio, recovered his strength? "
"Yes," Chen Rui nodded and smiled, "Paglio is also very impressed by sir general. I should be able to tell Paglio a good news when I go back this time, that is, his friend in the Warlock Fortress has successfully broken through to the Demon Overlord level."
George didn't expect that his level of strength would be seen through by this human at a glance. His gaze at Chen Rui was a little more strange, "Is this talent … or strength?"
"I said that I will take care of Athena for a lifetime and not let her be hurt in any way. For this, I have to prove something to her most beloved father and even expose some secrets. " General George was his father-in-law and also Jía's strongest supporter. This time, Chen Rui came not only to visit George but also to give him some important resources. Some things would be revealed sooner or later.
"Very good! I felt that you have the ability to take care of Athena at the beginning. "George didn't ask much, but he nodded with relief," However, the daughter of my Wales Family is not a vase. Athena is a very independent girl, and she is quite talented in military affairs. She should be a good helper for you. "
"Of course, she is now the legion leader of the Flame Legion. At the same time, she is also one of the most valued talents of Princess Royal Highness." When it came to Athena, Chen Rui's words revealed undisguised love, "She is also the best wife."
"Of course, Athena is my daughter!" Speaking of his daughter, George couldn't help but change from an energetic general to a proud father, "However, the title of wife can only be used after your official wedding. Remember what I said to you before I left last time? No matter how many women you marry, Athena must be the most beloved, otherwise I will … "
"Of course!" Chen Rui didn't wait for his father-in-law to say the threat of castration, and he quickly responded. Speaking of which, his father-in-law is indeed very open-minded, but it seems that there are more than 10 mothers-in-law.
George looked serious, "Well, I have encountered a headache now. It just so happens that you, the famous and capable minister of the Demon Realm, can help me think of a solution."
"General, please say it."
George sighed, "Some time ago, the major estates and families of the empire jointly asked the regent for fundraising funds. Obsidian had no choice but to use the method of repayment by installments to temporarily stabilize the major estates and families. However, the expenditure of all parties has been sharply reduced, including military salaries and military supplies. Now the magic circles and defense facilities of the Warlock Fortress urgently need to be updated and repaired. A large number of the weapons and armors of the soldiers also need to be replaced. A lot of funds are urgently needed. However, the capital has even deducted nearly half of the military's salaries and rations. If this continues, not only the morale of the army will be shaken, but once the Bloody Empire launches an official attack, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend. "
Chen Rui had been in the Bloody Empire all the time, so he didn't know that such a large-scale "demand for salaries" incident had happened in the Fallen Angel Capital. Obsidian's delay was also reasonable. It would be more difficult to continue in the end. Everything went smoothly as planned.
As for General George's problem, Chen Rui showed a confident smile. He lacked everything, but money was the last thing he lacked.
