In the blink of an eye, another 3 days passed.
The Dark Moon City became more and more lively because Princess Royal Highness' birthday was approaching.
Although Princess Royal did not hold a corresponding celebration, the people of the estate spontaneously organized many celebration activities. In the minds of the Dark Moon's soldiers and civilians, the Dark Moon could have its current development and prosperity thanks to the help of capable ministers such as Chen Rui, Aguile, and Tim, but the most critical central figure was still Lord Jía.
Without Jía's hard support under Obsidian's oppression and control over the years, there would be no Dark Moon's glory today. Fortunately, her persistence and efforts were finally rewarded. The Dark Moon had become the most prosperous estate of the Fallen Angel Empire and even the entire Demon Realm from the declining and impoverished estate. This was simply a miracle, but it just happened.
The happiest were those merchants who held promotional activities in the name of celebrating Princess Royal's birthday. The people naturally rushed to buy them happily, so everyone was happy. The entire Dark Moon Estate was like a celebration festival. It was almost comparable to the lively scene of the last trade fair.
However, Krobelus, who liked excitement the most, could not see this kind of scene for the time being. She was "behind closed doors". When she studied the goldmen with Rolla last time, she received a lot of pointers. Her water magic power became purer, and her territory power also showed signs of improvement. Since Chen Rui's identity as "Charles" had been exposed to Isabella, there was no need to hide the black potions. He gave her a set of Eternal potions. Miss Emerald Long, who was overjoyed, was complacent. With the encouragement of Paglio, she was determined to go behind closed doors again to break through the small realm of the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord.
Chen Rui knew very well why the dead duck dragon encouraged Krobelus to go behind closed doors so much. Wasn't it to pursue the so-called "freedom"?
In fact, after this guy knew that Olypheus and Chen Rui were only employer-bodyguard relationship, he showed considerable hospitality to Black Miss Long.
Unfortunately, Black Miss Long was not only unromantic, but also asked a few deadly questions such as "What is a date? Can I eat it?" and "Do you have money?" in front of Emerald Miss Long.
Master Poison Dragon was speechless at that time. The most important thing was the financial issue. He did have treasures, he also had the "fundraising money", and he also had a share of the crystal mine in the Crystal Valley, but these were all with Chen Rui. Master Poison Dragon had already sold a lot of treasures to Miss Long of Emerald before. Now that he had made up his mind to hide his small vault, how would he be willing to reveal it? Therefore, he could only retreat in defeat in Black Miss Long's innocent eyes.
What made Paglio speechless was that this matter caused Miss Long Jadeite to be highly vigilant. Before she went into seclusion, she took away all his money and even the big gold crystal bed. It had to be said that the sensitivity of women was quite amazing.
In order to prevent a certain guy from fooling around, Krobelus also used a killer move, that was, she spent money to hire Olypheus to secretly monitor Paglio.
Miss Miser certainly did not refuse this kind of job that sent money to her doorstep. She secretly followed the poison dragon every day and carefully recorded his every move. Even if Paglio slipped away, she would stay at various places where he might appear. Sometimes, she even asked Rolla for help. After a period of time, she was familiar with the Dark Moon City, but Master Poison Dragon sighed all day long. He was really caught in a trap of his own making.
Chen Rui didn't have time to care about Paglio's business. During this time, he was busy learning mechanics and manufacturing related matters all day long. The production line was divided into several parts. Chen Rui had already arranged for the taurens and the Cloak Gang. Now, he was looking for the Terry Family.
The Terry Family was one of the few big families in the Dark Moon second only to the Saiful Family. They had always been on Jía's side. Now, they controlled more than half of the Dark Moon's manufacturing industry. There were a large number of skilled craftsmen under them. They were the backbone of the manufacturing of the goldman parts.
The Terry Family received the order from Princess Royal Jía, and they still attached great importance to this matter. They sent Jason, the main person in charge of the family's manufacturing industry, to contact Chen Rui.
Jason was a member of the Lucifer Royal Family. His official wife was the eldest daughter of the Terry Family's patriarch, which was equivalent to a form of half marrying into the family. This kind of marriage was very common in the Demon Realm. It was mainly a political marriage to deepen the relationship and control. If he could give birth to a royal family, he might even become the heir of the family.
Jason's appearance was about 30 years old. He had good facial features, and his eyebrows showed shrewdness and competence. Chen Rui had met him several times, but it was the first time they actually contacted each other.
Accompanied by Jason, Chen Rui came to an exclusive factory of the Terry Family in the mountains outside the Dark Moon City.
"Sir Chen Rui, may I ask what is the commissioned manufacturing project this time?"
Chen Rui smiled slightly, "It's a special part. Princess Royal has ordered that this matter is classified as highly confidential, so please forgive me for not being able to say more. I must also order the craftsmen to keep it strictly confidential."
Jason nodded, "Understood. Sir, please meet the Terry Family's craftsman director, Sarandi. If you have any technical requirements or questions, feel free to ask him. Sarandi has served the Terry Family for 150 years. He is absolutely trustworthy."
"Okay."
Jason immediately ordered his subordinates to leave. Soon, a Great Demon walked into the room.
This Great Demon was tall and stern with a scar on his brow bone. When Chen Rui glanced at it, his pupils suddenly shrank. A strange expression flashed across his face.
"Jason, this is Director Sarandi?"
Jason nodded, "Sarandi, this is the Demon Realm's top minister, Sir Chen Rui, whom you have admired for a long time. From now on, you must unconditionally obey all his orders."
"Jason, you can leave first. For the sake of confidentiality, let the irrelevant people leave here. By the way, go to the Flame Legion again and help me deliver this letter to the legion commander, Athena, as soon as possible. By the way, tell her that I'm going back late." Chen Rui took out an envelope and handed it to Jason.
Sarandi unexpectedly stopped Jason and said, "Wait, that letter, let me see it."
Jason's figure paused, but he actually did not dare to disobey. He respectfully handed the letter to Sarandi. Chen Rui's eyes narrowed slightly. He put his hands behind his back calmly.
Sarandi opened the letter. There was nothing written in it. It was just a blank piece of paper.
"Is this some kind of danger warning?" Sarandi smiled faintly, "Sir Chen Rui seems to have noticed some kind of flaw. It's really surprising. He is indeed a rare wise and capable minister of the Demon Realm. Unfortunately, even if there is no problem with this letter, I will not let it go. This time, I am determined to come to the Dark Moon. No mistakes are allowed. I advise sir to give up unrealistic delusions. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how clever your wisdom or strategy is, it is useless. "
"Really?" The reason why Chen Rui found the flaw was very simple. Intuition. When Sarandi first came in, he instinctively felt a sense of danger, and the [Analytical Eyes] clearly explained the reason for this danger.
Race: Pride Royal Family (mutated). Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C (S +).
It's actually the Lucifer Royal Family of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord! Apart from the Fallen Angel Capital, Chen Rui couldn't think of any other place that could send such a top-level Lucifer Royal Family. Thinking of the intel that Isabella said a few days ago, he suddenly understood that this peak stage of the Demon Overlord was coming for him, and he came faster than expected.
The previous few assassins were only Great Demon King or Demon Emperor. This time, they actually sent the strongest Demon Overlord. It seemed that this "Demon Realm's top internal affairs minister" was really prestigious.
The letter just now was indeed a warning that only he and Athena understood, but to his surprise, Jía, who had always valued the royal family, Jason, was actually an insider!
"Sir Chen Rui is overthinking. This time, apart from sir, we do not intend to touch Ms. Athena. General George has a large number of troops, and he is the general with the highest prestige in the military. Even the capital has to be afraid."
We? Chen Rui's heart moved: Sarandi is not the only one who came!
"Jason, answer my last few questions before I'm killed." Chen Rui looked like he was facing death calmly, "Did you betray Princess Royal or the entire Terry Family?"
"I'm not the only one who betrayed, but it hasn't affected the entire family. However, it's not only the Terry Family that has people like me." Jason's sneer made Chen Rui secretly shocked, "I'm a royal family. I should have the qualification to inherit an estate, but I was suppressed by Crown Prince Grimm back then. As a result, I married into a family with little power. Even because of my bloodline, I can't even obtain the inheritance right of this family, no matter how excellent my talent is! Not only that, the Dark Moon seems to be getting stronger step by step now, but the more they strengthen, the closer they are to destruction. Once they break through the bottom line of the capital, do you think the Dark Moon can really defeat the entire Fallen Angel Empire? "
"The capital doesn't represent the entire Fallen Angel Empire. The Blue Lava Estate, one of the 4 major estates, is already under the control of the Dark Moon. The White Feather Estate already has a secret agreement. Only the Red Spirit Estate is left, which is also greatly weakened." Chen Rui deliberately made a sh * t about the White Feather Estate to confuse Sarandi again and again. Sure enough, Sarandi looked puzzled and did not stop him from continuing.
"Besides, how do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? All possibilities are conceived from the impossible. "Chen Rui shook his head," Are you sure you saw the future of the empire before betraying? We are developing rapidly now, and the capital is struggling in a dilemma. It is clear who is strong and who is weak at a glance. Not only the economy, but even the military aspect of the Dark Moon is also unlimited. The capital has the peak stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse, and so do we! Moreover, do you think the Demon Overlords of the capital are surrounding Obsidian as a whole? Do you think Obsidian can mobilize the elder Demon Overlords of those elder families at will? Just for this Sir Sarandi to come here, I'm afraid Obsidian has put in a lot of effort! Besides, even if Obsidian defeats the Dark Moon, do you think he will get power and be put in an important position? You are just a chess piece with a little value for the time being. You can betray Jía for benefits this time, but it is hard to guarantee that you will not betray Obsidian for benefits in the future. Who will keep a dog that may bite back at its master at any time? "
The last sentence made Jason's face pale. Sarandi said, "You are worthy of being Sir Chen Rui. With just a few words, you have made this traitor waver. Moreover, you are in the Dark Moon, but you actually know the situation and interests of the capital so well. You even guessed my strength. But don't worry, my purpose this time is not to kill you, but to invite you to the capital as the finance minister. "
Chen Rui had long guessed that Sarandi's purpose was to capture him to the capital. Otherwise, he would not talk nonsense for so long.
However, Sarandi's next sentence made Chen Rui's complexion change suddenly, "Your wisdom is extraordinary. It is worth my trip here in person. Unfortunately, it is useless to delay time. Don't expect the Dark Demon to send a message to let the Dark Moon's powerhouse come to save you. The capital has already noticed the threat of the Dark Moon's secret intelligence department. In addition to taking you away, we will also uproot the annoying Dark Demon. "
Chen Rui's mind turned quickly: The Dark Demon's stronghold is extremely secretive, and there are various magic circles. However, Jason said previously, "It is not only the Terry Family that has people like me." Then, someone inside the Dark Demon must have taken the same path as Jason!
Delia is in danger! And Isabella!
In fact, the Dark Moon has eliminated many dissidents and families that are inclined to the capital this year. Coupled with the power of rapid development, the ruling class can be said to be unprecedentedly cohesive, but this situation has occurred. This is my negligence!
People's heart is really the most unpredictable thing.
No matter how flexible Chen Rui's brain was, no matter how much he had the knowledge of another world, his intelligence and energy were limited after all. It was impossible for him to be proficient in all aspects and even make such a mistake.
At this moment, Sarandi's face suddenly changed. He saw a person appearing out of thin air in the room.
It was a man with tawny skin and short hair. As soon as this person appeared, Sarandi immediately had an instinctive sense of vigilance. The strength of this man is definitely not simple. Even a peak stage of the Demon Overlord like me has a feeling of palpitation.
He must be the hidden powerhouse of the Dark Moon, and his strength is comparable to mine. The Dark Moon really has a powerhouse of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord! How did this person find me here? Has he been protecting Chen Rui closely?
However, this man did not have the demeanor of an expert at all. He took a gulp from the bottle and spat out a mouthful of alcohol. "That chick's nose is too sharp. I finally got rid of her, but before I could sit down, I was called over. I want to see what kind of blind thing disturbed my free time!"
"Free your ass. Something happened to Delia!" Chen Rui didn't have the time to pay attention to this guy's complaints, "I will leave this person to you. If you can't capture him alive, kill him!"
Capture him alive? Kill him? A cold light flashed past Sarandi's eyes. The power of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord quickly condensed. As he was about to take down Chen Rui first, the man instantly blocked in front of him. The frightening murderous light in his eyes made Sarandi's hair stand up. He had to fight with all his strength.
Just when Sarandi's attention was completely focused on Paglio, there was a faint light flashing behind this powerful enemy. When he looked again, the human had disappeared!
Sarandi was taken aback. Before he had time to investigate the whereabouts of the human, the man on the opposite side had already taken advantage of the moment when he was distracted. In an instant, his fists turned into hundreds of black shadows that attacked at various vital points. In the blink of an eye, his body was wrapped in it. This round of fierce attacks was so powerful and fierce that even though Sarandi had condensed his power to defend early, he was still suffocated. He was at a disadvantage for a while.
When Chen Rui put his hands behind his back previously, he had already crushed a piece of Paglio's dragon scale, which could make the poison dragon come quickly within an effective distance. That was why he kept delaying with Sarandi. He did not ignore Isabella's warning a few days ago. He had already prepared the corresponding preventive measures. It really came in handy now.
Chen Rui left the room with the [Star Gate] just now because the star point set by the [Star Gate] was much closer to the Dark Demon's stronghold than here. Although it might be seen by Sarandi, he couldn't care less.
I must rush to the Dark Demon's headquarters as soon as possible!
