Chen Rui watched Isabella leave his sight with a complicated mood. In fact, from the time he really began to feel Isabella with his heart, he felt something abnormal.
This beautiful woman was far better than men in terms of wisdom and means. She could even easily manipulate people's hearts. She was a veritable Devil's Snare Flower. She smiled on the surface as if she didn't care about anything and could let go of anything, but in fact, her heart had been tightly closed. What she really let go was herself.
Chen Rui didn't know if the past of the Breeze Shadow Boots had left some indelible mark, but he could feel the heavy shackles in Isabella's heart. If Kia evaporated the tears behind her back with a burning smile, then Isabella had turned into a pool of ashes that was about to burn out. Whether she would be reborn from the fire or completely annihilated in the next moment, it was up to her.
There was no doubt that Isabella liked him. At first, he might just be a substitute for some illusory character in her mind. Step by step, she was really moved now. Perhaps this kind of feeling could become the key to healing the soul and unlock the heavy shackles step by step.
If life was just the first time, Chen Rui had seen a tear that couldn't be evaporated by flames. That scene was unforgettable. He would not let the tragedy happen to his woman again.
Anyway, in his heart, he had already decided to be a certain guy's uncle.
After leaving the palace, Chen Rui put on a cloak and walked all the way out of the city gate. He found Guradam in the specially divided undead area in the southern suburbs.
In this decisive battle, Guradam could be said to have become famous. The entire Demon Realm knew that the undead magician who disappeared for 2 years had returned, and he also brought an unprecedented powerful undead unit. Even though the Undead had exposed many of their shortcomings in battle, they had shown more of their strength, which was enough to contend against any regular elite army, including the air force and cavalry.
Facing this master who signed a master-slave agreement with him, Guradam's mentality was completely different from that year. At first, the two were hostile. Chen Rui was not his opponent, but he used the Fountain of Resurrection to make Guradam flee with a heavy injury. Then, Guradam was subdued by Paglio in Town Yankou. He was forced to sign a master-slave contract with Chen Rui under coercion and temptation.
To some extent, Guradam was the same as Rolla. He was a fanatical research talent. In order to obtain a long life to study undead magic, the undead magician took the risk to transform himself into an immortal corpse necromancer. This was also the reason why he submitted to Chen Rui at that time. The master-slave contract was not like the master-servant contract. Although it was also impossible to betray, if the master died, it would not cause the death of the subordinate. Moreover, the master could not use the contract to terminate the subordinate's life in advance.
What Guradam didn't expect was that because of this "submission", he received inspiration that was almost equivalent to a qualitative change. Undead magician, undead cavalry, [Poison Explosion] … In addition, there was also a huge amount of funding, including a huge amount of equipment for the regular army, the magic items of the skeleton magician, and even the complete dragon corpse. His great success today was definitely inseparable from this master.
The strength shown by Chen Rui also intimidated Guradam. In the Silent Night Wetland, he was only at the Demon King level. Later, he leaped at an unimaginable speed. Great Demon King, Demon Emperor … When he reached the decisive battle in the Leith Wilderness, he was already able to compete with the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, Obsidian!
"Don't worry, master. Even if you are not here, I will completely obey the master's command." Guradam said respectfully after learning about Chen Rui's intention.
Let alone Athena, who had the best impression of Guradam, just the beautiful lady with glasses was enough to make Guradam lower his head with his tail between his legs. He witnessed the scene of Ms. Rolla trampling 2 Dragons of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord in front of everyone. There were also several Demon Overlords present, but none of them dared to breathe heavily.
Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction, "Try to complete the transformation of the undead in the ancient battlefield of Town Yankou. Don't worry about the equipment. It is more than enough this time."
"Master, there is one more thing. I have reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor 2000 years ago, but I have been stagnant after transforming into a corpse necromancer. The body of the undead doesn't need other creatures. For example, in my current state, it is almost impossible to advance directly. Even if master has the black potion, it has no effect on me. Even the longevity potion and resurrection potion are equivalent to violent poisons. According to ancient records, coupled with my research findings, to jump to the next realm … it requires a rather complicated ritual and considerable risks. These are still fine, but the key is that it requires a lot of precious materials … "
Guradam was not very secure. The materials needed for the ritual were extremely rare and varied. Previously, he had spent a lot of money to equip the undead. In total, the value of the materials needed this time was still above the huge sum of money to equip the undead. It was difficult to gather them with his own strength, so he proposed it nervously. What Chen Rui needed was his power to create the undead. There was no shortage of Demon Overlords around him. There were 3 Dragons alone, and the most terrifying madam (corpse necromancer didn't know that Rolla was also a Dragons). It was said that this master was the only close friend recognized by the Earth Elemental King.
"Tell me, how can I help you?" Chen Rui agreed without hesitation. Guradam was one of his own. The stronger he was, the better it was for him. He was never stingy with his own people.
Hearing such a straightforward answer, Guradam suddenly had a strange feeling of "a gentleman would die for his confidant". The 2 red lights in his eye sockets lit up, "The corpse necromancer's body is a tool that can be abandoned at any time. The key is the soul fire. If you can get all the materials, there may be a qualitative change under a special ritual. This kind of ritual is quite strict and requires a lot of precious materials. There was a part of it in Sir Paglio's treasure back then, and I collected another part after I came out … "
Paglio's treasure all fell into Chen Rui's hands back then. The poor corpse necromancer barely took away his phylactery after being drenched in deadly "sulfuric acid". Chen Rui understood what he meant. After asking about the required materials, he took them out from the storage warehouse one by one.
Some had been used up or were not in the poison dragon's treasure, but Chen Rui later obtained many good things, including the crystal dragon's treasure and various materials offered by the Custer Family. Guradam got more complete materials than he expected, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Although the remaining materials are in short supply, it shouldn't be a big problem. I will entrust the top business family of the Shadow Empire, the Custer Family, to collect them, but … what are the Dragon Power Essence and the Siren's Heart?" Many of the materials proposed by Guradam were very obscure, but Chen Rui had absorbed a lot of relevant knowledge in the Mechanic Alliance of the Shadow Empire and the Bloody Empire. He knew their origins and uses, but he had never heard of these two.
"I'm not sure either. The Dragon Power Essence should be related to the dragon, and the siren is a kind of siren creature in the Dead Sea. I wonder if the Siren's Heart is their heart?"
Siren from the Dead Sea? Chen Rui thought that the Earth Elemental King would soon go to the Dead Sea, and his heart was moved. However, it was better to understand the specific situation of these two materials. If he was wrong, then Guradam's ritual would not be advancement but suicide.
"Leave the materials to me. You can deal with the matters at hand with peace of mind. My suggestion is just for reference. The white bone magic and the transformation of the spirit dragon should be based on your undead magic basic theory. "
Guradam nodded and personally sent Chen Rui out of the southern suburbs.
Back in the Dark Moon City, Chen Rui did not return to the house, but he went to the southeast block. The Dragon Power Essence and the Siren's Heart were very important to Guradam, so he must figure it out. He happened to have a teacher who had received thousands of years of inheritance, so he should be able to get a satisfactory answer. Besides, there were some important things left by the ancient alchemy civilization that he wanted to give to Tetenis.
The Cloak Gang's backyard was very lively and filled with the aroma of food. Tetenis, Skye and his wife, Eve, Alian, the old goblin and his daughter, Ms. Sasa, were all there. They were barbecuing in a circle. Master Xingxing was not present due to some affairs of the Mechanic Association.
The arrival of "Aguile" immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the 2 girls, Alian and Eve. Their smart eyes flashed with joy. The quickest to react was the old goblin, Didi. He immediately stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Master."
Chen Rui nodded and gestured to the old goblin to continue sitting down. There was no need to be overly courteous.
"Teacher." Chen Rui saluted Tetenis, then he greeted Skye and others. In this battle of the Dark Moon, the improved magic crystal cannons provided by Tetenis played a big role. As long as there was enough time to build more and better magic crystal cannons, then the military power of the entire Fallen Angel Empire would be greatly enhanced.
Skye said, "The battle of the Dark Moon can be said to have shocked the Demon Realm. The insufferably arrogant Regent Obsidian was actually beheaded by you and Princess Royal. It is incredible that the weak defeated the strong in this battle. You and Royal Highness Jía will be recorded in the history of the Demon Realm and praised by future generations. Soon, you will be called Royal Highness Royal Highness."
Chen Rui shook his head, "Master Skye has overpraised. This is all the credit of Princess Royal Highness and all the soldiers. As for the title … no matter what I look like, I am just master's friend, Aguile."
Skye showed a gratified smile and nodded, "Since we are friends, you don't have to be polite if you need my help. Although Xingxing is not here, I know that he also has this attitude."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up. An estate of the Dark Moon cannot be compared with the entire empire. For Jía, the capital is the core of her power, but at the same time, it is also an unfamiliar environment. She must get the support of all parties. For example, the Mechanic Association. The Fallen Angel Empire's Mechanic Association's influence was far inferior to the other 2 empires due to the lack of top senior masters like Nate and Anderson who had the title of "No. 1". If Skye, the former top leather armor master, was willing to join the association in the name of Fonsaq, plus the influence of Master Xingxing, he could definitely compete with the other 2 empires. For Jía, it was a considerable help.
Skye glanced at his wife and daughter who showed support, "You should go to the capital. Now that Nate of the Bloody Empire has lost his reputation, I don't have to worry about revenge. It's just the right time to come out and covet some fame and fortune."
Chen Rui knew Skye's personality very well. Not only was he not greedy for fame and fortune, but he was very indifferent. Especially after encountering the great changes back then, he valued his family more. He just wanted to live a stable life. Now that he took the initiative to come out, it was obviously to repay his kindness.
"Since master is interested in fame and fortune, I have to be a villain who wants to repay your kindness." Chen Rui did not refuse hypocritically, but he continued the conversation. The 2 looked at each other and smiled without any unnecessary pretense.
This was originally the case between true friends.
