Seeing the horror of the 2 peak stage of the Demon Overlord guardians, Chen Rui had an idea and added, "Now you should understand why Regent Obsidian forced the Lord of Midnight Sun's descendants to the Dark Moon!"
This sentence was tantamount to breaking the news again. Oliver and Cowen looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes at the same time.
"Regent Obsidian banished the son of the Lord of Midnight Sun, Grimm, to the Dark Moon" and "Obsidian deliberately banished the crown prince knowing that the Lord of Midnight Sun's descendants could be recognized by the Sword of Fallen Angel" were 2 completely different concepts. The most important point was that Obsidian himself could not be recognized by the Sword of Fallen Angel.
The struggle and alternation of power within the royal family had never been a rare thing for an empire. Many forces would acquiesce to this kind of rise and fall, but the significance of the successor recognized by the artifact was completely different.
The artifact was the symbol of the empire, and it was also the national treasure to protect the empire. The will of the artifact represented the rise and fall of the entire empire. The king of the empire must be recognized by the artifact. This was not only the tradition of the Demon Realm, but also a necessary condition for the confrontation between the kings of the empire. Obsidian was unable to match the 2 great emperors, Catherine and Raizen. In addition to strength, the artifact was also a very key factor.
Because of this, Obsidian had always been in the name of the regent, and he couldn't rightfully ascend the throne. Therefore, General George and others had enough reasons to publicly question and oppose Obsidian.
Listening to "Aguile" now, it turned out that Obsidian couldn't get the artifact's recognition himself. In order to seize power, he ignored the will of the artifact, exiled and severely suppressed the Crown Prince Grimm's descendants. This was no longer an ordinary issue of power succession, but it was related to the future of the entire empire. It was equivalent to Obsidian deceiving the entire empire.
"The elder of the empire means supreme glory, but at the same time, there is also a more important responsibility than glory, which is to protect the artifact with everything you have! Protect the empire! I don't know … how many elder families and elders still remember the original intention of this vow with their lives? "
Chen Rui was no longer a rookie who knew nothing about the 3 empires. Seeing the hesitation in the hearts of the 2 elders, he seized the opportunity to spit out a sentence that stood on the moral high ground.
Oliver and Cowen were silent at the same time. Five minutes had already passed, but the two of them seemed to have forgotten this limit and had no intention of making a move. In fact, after seeing the reaction of the god artifact, their battle intent and killing intent as guardians had been completely shattered. The only thing they had to think about now was how to digest and deal with this matter. Not only was it related to the god artifact, but it was also related to the fate of the entire family, the royal family, and the empire.
They could have questioned more than one person who was recognized by the artifact, but the fact was that since the fall of the Lord of Midnight Sun 300 years ago, Jía was the first and only person who caused a change in the Sword of Fallen Angel. She undoubtedly proved the true ownership of the artifact. In fact, it was equivalent to proving who was the "Chosen One" of the Fallen Angel Empire.
"Let's just treat it as an ordinary sword. Perhaps the recognition of a sword doesn't mean anything. I understand that the elder families have their own interests, but the premise of this interest is the interests of the entire Fallen Angel Empire! Both of you are experienced senior powerhouses. You should be very clear that the current Fallen Angel Empire's economy is declining and its military is weak. Regent Obsidian only cares about his own selfish desires. He madly accumulates wealth internally, suppresses dissidents, and does not hesitate to violate the will of the artifact. Servile to outsiders, using a large number of offerings in exchange for the so-called peace, and putting life and death in the hands of others! Is this still the strongest Fallen Angel Empire of the Demon Realm 300 years ago? If this continues, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed! If the entire empire is destroyed, can the royal family and the elder families still retain the so-called honor and interests? "
Oliver and Cowen looked at each other. This question could be answered with their eyes closed, but they couldn't answer it at this time. Those empires that had perished were the best examples. The royal families and families that had been glorious for a time had ended up being exterminated, disappeared, or reduced to vassals under someone else's roof. What benefits and dignity did they have left?
After a long time, Cowen squeezed out a sentence, "If for the sake of the overall situation, why didn't Princess Jía agree to the Regent's proposal …"
"What a joke! When the Shadow Empire was in turmoil, why didn't Empress Catherine 'consider the overall situation' and surrender to those rebellious royal families? In that case, would there still be the Shadow Empire today? " Chen Rui did not hide his contempt and sneered, "The king recognized by the artifact is the real king. He is definitely not a decoration or a vassal! How can a real king yield to a shameful rebel? Why did Obsidian attack the Dark Moon with that kind of shameless reason? Because Princess Jía is the real recognized by the artifact! She is the real hope for the prosperity of the entire Fallen Angel Empire! "
Without waiting for the 2 to refute, Chen Rui immediately cited the facts, "She led the people of the Dark Moon. In less than 10 years, she managed the Dark Moon, which has been declining for 400 years, into the most powerful and prosperous estate in the entire Demon Realm! This is still under the sanctions of Obsidian's various means! Can Obsidian do it? He has ruled the empire for 300 years. What has he done? Using the so-called fundraising to defraud the lords of money? Paying tribute to the 2 empires in exchange for a lingering peace? Going against the will of the artifact to deceive the entire empire? Using a shameful excuse to kill the real master of the artifact and the empire? "
The 2 elders of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord were extremely powerful, but in the face of the barrage of fierce words, they simply couldn't respond. Oliver barely resisted the sentence "sir's eloquence is far sharper than your strength", then he didn't say anything anymore.
Chen Rui accepted this "praise" unreservedly. As a technical geek who dominated BBS and forums and immersed in ACG for more than 10 years, if he couldn't do physical work, wouldn't his verbal attacks be heaven-defying?
After a long time, Cowen calmed down and said, "I can't deny the facts you said, but an empire is not as simple as an estate."
"I understand, and I also understand that even if both of you have agreed in your hearts, you can't express anything for the sake of the empire or your own family's interests. After all, this is a world that speaks with fists. I don't need both of you to express anything. I can even not take away the Sword of Fallen Angel today … "
Oliver frowned. "Then what exactly do you want?"
"I just sincerely hope that the royal family and elder families preserve their vitality and don't sacrifice for Obsidian's personal interests in vain. Not only for the interests of the empire, but also for myself."
This sentence was very sincere. Oliver and Cowen exchanged a look and said, "Answer a question truthfully first. If the two of us join forces to attack now, will you be able to escape?"
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and nodded firmly.
This was not bragging. [Royal Star Transformation] plus [Demonic Flies Transformation] plus [Star Gate] plus Demon Shield, if he was lucky, he could even take away the Sword of Fallen Angel. However, the opponent had 2 peak stage of the Demon Overlord, so the hope of the latter was minimal. In that case, the exposure of the God-Eating Mask and Demon Shield would bring more trouble.
Oliver saw that Chen Rui was not bragging, so he nodded slightly, "Since this is the case, you can go. However, don't think about the Sword of Fallen Angel again. In any case, we are the guardians of the secret vault. We will never hold back next time. "
"Thank you, I am indebted to both of you. I know that both of you are giving face to the owner of the artifact, Princess Royal. However, I will not give up the Sword of Fallen Angel. "Chen Rui rolled his eyes," How about we make a bet? Within 10 days, I will use all means to get this sword. If I fail, I will return to the Dark Moon and bring Princess Jía here. How about that? "
Oliver and Cowen's eyes lit up when they heard the last sentence. Old Cowen asked warily, "What if you win?"
"Sir Cowen is really cautious. You actually think so highly of me." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Well, if I win by luck, I only need sir to help me realize the previous hope."
"Hope?"
"I don't expect the guardians to fulfill the oath of life, nor do I force you to deal with Obsidian. I just hope that in this battle, both of you can try your best to preserve the power of the royal family and the elder families. That's all. "
The 2 originally thought that the other party would use the Sword of Fallen Angel as a bet, but they didn't expect it to be this request that was not considered a request. They couldn't help but show a complicated look in their eyes.
Chen Rui unscrupulously made a vow in the name of the artifact. He secretly fiddled with the storage warehouse of the Super System for a while. With a wave of his hand, a recording stone floated in the air.
"I'll leave first. It's not convenient to say something. Please listen to this later."
With that said, Chen Rui walked to the door and quickly left the scope of the inner treasury.
Oliver saw that there was nothing wrong with the recording stone. With a wave of his hand, the recording stone appeared in his hand, "It turns out to be a fixed message. An hour? Well, let's see what tricks this guy is playing then. "
"Oliver, Princess Royal Highness and the Sword of Fallen Angel …"
"I'm a royal family member and a member of the royal family. If it's just a simple problem of a person and a sword, I will not hesitate to fulfill the guardian oath I once made. However, what we have to protect is not only an artifact, but more importantly, the entire empire."
Old Cowen sighed, "Yes, but as the guy said just now, can a person like Obsidian represent the entire empire?"
"Power." Oliver was silent for a while, and he gave the answer, "This war against the Dark Moon may be a battle that determines the fate of the entire empire. If Princess Royal really represents the will of the artifact, then …"
"Listening to you, I suddenly feel that … it is not a shame for the family's Vanim to join the Dark Moon. There is an old saying in the Demon Realm that all eggs should not be put in one basket. "
"Old friend, aren't you afraid that I will spread this sentence?" Oliver smiled slightly, "In fact, I also have a hunch now that this seemingly unsuspenseful crusade will bring a lot of suspense. Maybe … there will be incredible things that will happen just like the miracle that appeared in front of us just now …"
8 points. Chen Rui, who returned to the hotel, gave a score to his performance today. Although the Sword of Fallen Angel did not change hands, if he was lucky, it was not wishful thinking to come back with interest.
The Super System that played a key role was indeed a heaven-defying treasure. The storage warehouse function alone was ridiculously convenient. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time. Otherwise, I will calm down and deeply understand the mystery of the Super System. I don't want the situation where my spirit power is cut off to cause failure again.
"It's about to start, the capital's banquet …" Chen Rui, who closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes. He took out a magic timer and looked at it. He looked up at the stars in the night sky outside the window. A beautiful figure with blonde hair and a white dress appeared in his mind, "Can you see it? My Princess Royal Highness. "
Town Leith of the Dark Moon Estate, outside the central tent of the barracks.
The blonde woman looked up at the bright starry sky, and a touch of longing appeared in her usually indifferent purple eyes.
