2 days later, Chen Rui, who was lying on the bed, finally opened his eyes. The first person he saw was Alice. The little loli's big eyes flashed with tears of joy. She rushed up, "Brother, you finally woke up!"
It turned out that after Chen Rui used the remaining power of the [Royal Star Transformation] to send Monroe and others to Tim at the Walan Fortress that night, he couldn't hold on anymore. He quickly activated the [Star Gate] and returned to Town Leia. He told the little loli that he would sleep for about 2 days, then he fainted.
Judging from the little loli's haggard face, she should have been taking care of him for the past 2 days. Chen Rui didn't break away from her hug. He touched her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine. This room is … "
"It was arranged by Celine. Due to the trade fair, the hotels are full …"
Chen Rui nodded, and his stomach suddenly growled. Alice smiled, "You have slept for 2 days and haven't eaten anything. Your stomach is protesting. I will go out and get you something to eat."
Soon, the food came, but Celine personally delivered it. The little loli took the bowl first and brought it to Chen Rui. She actually ignored his diligent hands and fed him with the spoon.
Celine just smiled and looked at Alice's actions with a generous look. The age difference between the 2 was only 1 or 2 years, but Alice seemed too young in front of her. She was just like a child.
The calmer Celine was, the more unconvinced the little loli was. She kept glancing back to show off, but that kind of unhappiness was directly reflected in the frequency of the spoon. Chen Rui was almost choked in his throat.
"Okay …" Chen Rui finally couldn't stand the little loli's feeding, so he grabbed the spoon and ate it himself.
The little loli lost the weapon to show off in front of the enemy, and she pouted in dissatisfaction.
Chen Rui finally managed to coax Alice out. Celine rolled her eyes and activated a soundproof device. She then stepped forward, bowed, and respectfully presented a space ring. "Master, the seeds and materials you want are all in here."
Chen Rui took the space ring and checked it with his mind. Sure enough, it was complete. He nodded slightly.
"For the past two days, the sister who calls herself Master's' fiancée 'has been taking care of Master. Even when I sent a maid over, she refused."
Chen Rui felt warm when he heard Celine said that the little loli took care of him all day long. Celine asked carefully, "May I ask master, about that matter …"
"You don't have to worry about Monroe anymore."
"Thank you, Master!" Celine's eyes flashed with joy. She asked tentatively, "Did Master get rid of them? Also, was his body fully healed? I have a high-purity healing potion made by Master Angélie here … "
Before she finished speaking, she felt 2 sharp blade-like eyes shooting straight into her heart. At the same time, a terrifying pressure came. Celine felt dizzy as if she was in the furnace purgatory. Her soul could be annihilated at any time. She was so scared that she quickly begged for mercy, "Master, please spare my life!"
The terrifying feeling gradually disappeared. Chen Rui's cold voice came, "Don't ask more about things that you shouldn't ask. Otherwise, there will be no next time, understand?"
Celine's clothes were drenched in sweat. She quickly bowed and said, "Celine understands."
According to a certain plan in Chen Rui's mind, the Custer Family would still be of great use in the future. Celine, the heir, seemed young, but she was too scheming. Even with the constraints of the master-servant contract, he must teach her a lesson.
"Have you heard of the name Terdila?"
Celine was startled and replied, "I once learned by chance that Terdila is one of the close secret guards of Catherine the Great. His strength is unfathomable. It is said that he has reached the Demon Overlord level."
"The intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord." Chen Rui corrected.
Celine was a smart person. She immediately reacted and looked horrified, "Did master encounter Terdila that day …"
In Celine's memory, the strength of the master of "Arthur" is the Great Demon King. How can he survive in the hands of Terdila who is at the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord? By the way, even the Great Demon King-level guards are terrified of the powerhouses around Monroe, but master has solved this matter. Could it be that master's strength …
"Terdila is indeed a terrifying opponent, but his golden puppet was hit by my blow, and it was damaged a lot. It will probably take a while to recover."
This sentence made Celine even more shocked: I fought against Terdila and even severely injured the highest level golden [War Puppet] of the Asmodeus Royal Family!
Celine's expression was more respectful from the bottom of her heart. If she was forced to become a Great Demon King-level servant, she still felt a little dissatisfied, but now a Demon Overlord master was enough to make her truly surrender.
Anyway, the master-servant contract could not be changed. The stronger this master was, the greater the benefits for the Custer Family and herself in the future.
Chen Rui felt the change in Celine's heart, and he knew that the effect had been achieved. He immediately took out another thing, "This devil fruit is given to you. Whether it is consumed or auctioned, you can dispose of it yourself."
Devil fruit! Celine was shocked again. This is the treasure that all the Demons outside the royal family dream of! It even triggered the war of lords. 3 appeared in the last Dark Moon auction, and they were sold at a sky-high price. I didn't expect master to give it to me casually!
Celine's goal was not power, but business. Catherine the Great had promised that as long as the collection of devil pomeg was completed, the newly opened auction house in the capital would be handed over to the Custer Family to manage.
With this devil fruit, she could hold an auction that was as sensational as the Dark Moon in the Demon Realm. By then, the Custer Family would benefit a lot both in terms of benefits and status.
Celine took the devil fruit with trembling hands and carefully put it in the space ring. She bowed with sincerity and said, "Thank you, master."
This was exactly the effect that Chen Rui wanted. Although the method of giving a carrot after a stick was old, it was exceptionally effective.
Celine didn't know that although the devil fruit was a treasure in the outside world, in Chen Rui's Galaxy Garden, the quantity was so much that it had to be calculated by kilograms.
"I will temporarily lurk in the Dark Moon during this time. Try to collect the materials for this part of the crafting. By then, pass it to me through the Custer Family Joint Chamber of Commerce in the Dark Moon. Also, if you find this kind of map fragment in the future, you must keep it …" Chen Rui specifically instructed her, then he signaled her to leave. This time, Celine didn't play tricks and made a request for service. She respectfully left.
"Okay, Alice, come in." Chen Rui had long felt that the little loli was eavesdropping on the door, but Celine was prepared. She turned on the soundproof prop during the conversation, so the little loli's efforts were in vain.
"Hmph! What the hell are you talking about? "The little loli looked suspicious.
"I'm asking Ms. Celine if there are any other places near Town Leia where I can take my sister to play for a few days."
"It's my fiancée!" The little loli corrected him solemnly. After the confrontation with Celine, she was already confident and logical to say this word now as if she had confirmed this identity. However, when she heard that she could play for a few days, the joy in the corner of the little loli's eyes couldn't be concealed.
Chen Rui had to pretend that he didn't hear it. He added, "But before that, I must have a good sleep. Otherwise, I won't have the strength to go out and play."
"En en!"
In the next 2 days, the little loli stuck to Chen Rui all day and wandered outside with a smile. However, the good days came to an end in advance. Chen Rui received an urgent notice from the Dark Demon that the White Feather Estate Lord, Sicali, was about to visit. Jía asked Chen Rui and Alice to rush back to the Dark Moon in advance.
The White Feather Estate was one of the 4 major estates. Lord Sicali was of the Lucifer Royal Family. He was once one of Jía's admirers, at least on the surface. In fact, Sicali was the best at pleasing people. On the one hand, he was close to Jía in a private capacity. On the other hand, he supported the capital's decision to please Regent Obsidian. This visit was in the name of Jía's birthday. It was also the first time that Jía took the initiative to visit since she took over as the lord in recent years.
Needless to say, it must be related to the current vigorous development of the Dark Moon.
The little loli was the little princess, and Chen Rui was the financial officer. Etiquette aside, more importantly, Jía wanted to recall Chen Rui to discuss matters related to Sicali.
When the little loli saw that her "honeymoon trip" (self-appointed) was interrupted because of Sicali, she was so angry that her teeth were itchy. She scolded the White Feather Estate Lord thousands of times in her heart, and she finally followed Chen Rui back to the Dark Moon City helplessly.
In addition to Chen Rui, Loki, who was a puppet, returned to the Dark Moon this time.
In the past few days, Loki came to Town Leia in disguise. Monroe, Fini, and Feyman did not know about Loki. They only learned from Tim that the 3 of them were rescued by Aguile to the fortress with injuries. They were all grateful to "Aguile". They listened to Tim's advice and secretly recuperated in the Walan Fortress.
From Loki's mouth, Chen Rui got important information related to Broc.
The last time the Fallen Angel Capital was plotted by "Charles", although Broc luckily escaped from Obsidian's hands, he was seriously injured, and his lower body was gone. Later, he found a mysterious mechanic master who spent countless efforts and materials to carry out a special transformation of Broc's body and turned him into a "semi-weapon person".
Half of it was a person, and the other half was a prop or a weapon. It was said that Loki explained that due to some unknown special reasons, after Broc repaired his body, his strength did not regress, but advanced instead. He had surpassed the peak stage of the Demon Emperor and advanced to the Demon Overlord level.
Due to Empress Catherine's means, there was a lot of turmoil in the Fire Blade Legion in Broc's hands, especially the kind of "spirit officer" who was responsible for ideological work, which greatly reduced Broc's control over the army's morale. At the same time, the relationship network in the Shadow Empire was also weakening step by step. In fact, this was the plan of Chen Rui and Catherine at the beginning.
The reason why Broc brought his wife and father-in-law to Jergal Fortress was also to make Catherine refrain from taking action. After all, Broc's father-in-law, Florence, was Catherine's uncle. He had the greatest contribution in the capital's rebellion, and he was once the number one figure in the military. His prestige in the military was extremely high. With Florence around, it was inconvenient for Catherine to directly attack Broc.
The current situation was that Broc was constantly being weakened by Catherine, but Catherine was unable to launch the biggest blow in a short time. According to Loki's understanding, Broc would never sit still and wait for death. On the surface, he had adopted forbearance and concession, but he must be planning some big move secretly.
These were just Loki's inference. Even if Loki was Broc's loyal follower, he didn't know what the specific move was. Broc wouldn't trust anyone except himself, let alone disclose any key information.
Jergal Fortress was the strongest fortress in the Demon Realm, and its defense was extremely powerful. At present, Broc was holed up in Jergal Fortress. Although the safety of Delia and Lomont could not be worried, Chen Rui didn't have a good solution for the time being.
However, Catherine was also dealing with Broc now. Let her cut off Broc's minions one by one first. It would not be too late to choose a suitable time to go to Jergal Fortress to attack.
Loki's puppet identity had been seen through by Terdila. As a chess piece that might be useful in the future, it was not appropriate for him to return to Jergal Fortress at the moment. Instead, he changed his appearance and went back with Chen Rui. At the very least, the strength of the peak stage of the Demon Emperor could also play some role.
Back in the Dark Moon City, Jía was watching the Flame Legion martial arts competition organized by Athena. Chen Rui sent the reluctant little loli back to the palace. He temporarily arranged for Loki to stay in the Dark Moon's inn, and he returned to the house to rest.
There was no one in the house. Even Paglio and Krobelus were not there. They might have gone to watch the martial arts competition. However, even the little black horse was gone. Chen Rui felt a little strange, and he suddenly had a familiar feeling. A huge pit suddenly collapsed on the ground. Chen Rui's figure instantly flashed to the edge of the pit. If he didn't react quickly just now, he would have fallen into the pit.
At this time, a large amount of white mist that quickly evaporated from a small puddle had enveloped him. The pervasive white mist exuded a terrifying chill. It was even above Loki's territory. Everywhere it passed was frozen into ice.
Chen Rui's figure teleported again to avoid the white mist. However, before he could stand firm, various traps such as ice, snow, thunder, and sharp blades were fully activated. Chen Rui tried his best to move and dodge, but he managed to avoid it. The grass under his feet grew for more than 10 meters in the blink of an eye as if it had a living arm. It wrapped around him tightly. His whole body became a "big" character that was hung in the air, unable to move.
"Spare my life, Rolla!" Chen Rui blurted out without thinking. In this house, there was absolutely no other person who could turn the simple environment into such a powerful trap, and it was even using the ancient runes that even he didn't understand. Besides Rolla, there was absolutely no other person.
When he came back last time, Rolla had been experimenting behind closed doors. She still didn't end it even when he took Alice out. Now she should be "out". Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the fairy Miss Long for a long time, and he missed her very much.
At this time, the grass in front of him was covered with a layer of white mist. It quickly froze into the shape of a pair of scissors, constantly opening and closing. It moved toward the space between his legs as if it was going to "crack" something.
Chen Rui was horrified. If it was really "cracked", even if it could be regenerated, it would leave an indelible psychological shadow.
"Rolla, stop it …"
"Crack crack …"
"Rolla, I have something very important to tell you!"
"Kacha kacha kacha kacha …"
"Dear Rolla, I have the most precious gift for you!"
The "scissors" suddenly stopped, and a figure gradually became clear. Purple hair, long dress, slender and attractive figure, a pair of glasses on her perfect and delicate face. It was Miss Scientist.
However, it was obvious that the word "unhappy" was hanging on Miss Scientist's face.
