It turned out that the little loli was meticulous. After thinking about it, humans said that they could make "one or two" small things, and Huarong Dao was only one kind. The day before yesterday, she sent Kia to the lab to ask Chen Rui to make another "interesting" gift.
Chen Rui was living under another person's roof, so he had to lower his head. He pulled Aldas to make another thing together. Today, Alice came to see such a gift, and she also brought her best friend, Athena.
"Wood again. What will it become this time?" Alice looked curiously at the wooden blocks of different shapes.
"Little princess, look at me." Chen Rui put the wooden blocks on the table and skillfully assembled them. Soon, the wooden blocks were combined into a beautiful three-dimensional heart shape. What was even more amazing was that the appearance was seamless as if it was a natural whole.
Alice exclaimed and carefully took it. It was obviously a pile of wooden blocks, but it actually became such a compact and solid thing after being assembled. If she didn't see it with her own eyes, she would think that it was Chen Rui who glued it on. Athena came forward and looked at this thing in surprise. Kia's charming eyes were also full of curiosity.
"This is called burr puzzle. It is made of dark glow wood. It is as hard as metal and very strong." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Chen Rui's eyes. This burr puzzle was also called love lock. Its structure was actually very complicated, but he was familiar with it. Because this was the first gift he received on Valentine's Day. However, just like many loves in college, despite a lot of effort, the ending with that pretty girl still ended up in vain.
When Aldas saw the assembled burr puzzle for the first time, he was amazed. Then, he lamented that he was proficient in pharmaceutics. If it was a mechanic master, this seamless assembly technique would definitely induce a greater revelation.
Alice loved this kind of delicate gadget the most. She played with it and asked, "Can this burr puzzle be disassembled again?"
"Of course, its fun lies in disassembly. I believe with the little princess's wisdom, there will be no problem." Actually, Chen Rui didn't mention that this burr puzzle was a complicated type. Without any hints, it would be very difficult to unlock.
I'll just let this black-bellied little loli do as she pleases. I'll be able to settle down and focus on the activation progress.
Alice fiddled with it carefully, as if she was afraid of breaking it. However, the burr puzzle was very tight, and she couldn't find the key part to remove it after a long time. Athena was eager to give it a try. She said, "Little Princess, let me try."
Alice pretended not to hear it and was still trying. After Athena shouted a few times and there was no response, her strategy changed, "The Jade Dragonfruit at the blue lake seems to have matured. I was just about to bring you there …"
Just as he finished speaking, a fair and tender little hand holding the burr puzzle was already in front of him.
Chen Rui only felt dizzy, and the fair little hand was empty. The burr puzzle was somehow in Athena's hand. Athena turned it around and said triumphantly, "Although I really want to take you there, Her Highness Jía knew that you followed me to the black rainforest last time. Her Highness Jía specifically ordered me not to take you out of the city again. So, hehe … "
The fair little hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and it loosened after a while. Alice's face showed an innocent smile, and two cute dimples appeared. It was just like the angelic smile when Chen Rui first met her.
Chen Rui knew that someone was going to be unlucky. Fortunately, the target this time was Athena.
"Athena. Wales, the daughter of the empire's first general, George Wales, the strongest swordswoman in New Moon City. Do you have the ability to unlock this burr puzzle?" The little loli stopped smiling and showed a solemn look. She had a bit of a princess's prestige.
As soon as Athena heard her father's name, her blood surged and she replied, "Of course!"
"Then bet on the honor of the Wales Family. Please be sure to unlock this burr puzzle within an hour!" The little loli's next words revealed the real purpose, "If you can't do it, then you must bring your best friend, Alice. Lucifer, to the blue lake together. No matter how difficult the journey is, you will protect her. Can you do it? "
Athena was stunned, and she immediately shook her head, "That can't be done. Her Highness Jía said …"
"Aren't the people of the Wales Family true to their words?" Alice looked disappointed and shook her head, "Forget it. Isn't it just a small burr puzzle?"
As it was related to the family's honor, Athena's heroic spirit rose. She recalled that the human assembled it quickly and it didn't seem too difficult. She said loudly, "Okay! Athena. Wales accepts this challenge! This small wooden thing doesn't even need an hour! "
Alice pursed her lips and smiled. Her sly eyes were like a little fox. Even Kia couldn't help but sigh. It was just like the last time we bet to go to the black rainforest. Poor Athena, she had to repeat the same mistake again.
The time in the hourglass passed by minute by minute. Chen Rui sat at the table and read the "Basic Herbs" given by Aldas; Alice was playing with the Demon Realm's version of Huarong Dao. Aldas's new chess set still couldn't escape from her clutches. Kia looked at the side and gave a small idea from time to time; the poor Master Aldas could only draw circles in the corner.
The burr puzzle was still intact. The impatient Athena was already sweating profusely as if this "small wooden thing" was heavier than the greatsword on her back.
Seeing that she was close to going berserk, Alice suddenly shouted, "Time is almost up!"
This sentence completely ignited the fuse of the female swordsman's outburst. Athena's eyes instantly became like flames; her skin began to turn red; two curved horns faintly appeared on her head; her whole body exuded a powerful vibe. She gritted her teeth and said, "How can the honor of the Wales Family be shamed by such a broken thing …"
"Kacha" The tight burr puzzle began to crack. Then, the dark glow wood that was as hard as metal was shattered by the huge force.
Everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the burr puzzle that turned into a pile of broken wood. Aldas pointed at Athena tremblingly. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. He had already blacklisted her in the lab in his heart. This is blasphemy against the priceless wisdom of a grand master!
Chen Rui only felt a chill rising from his back: Mars is too dangerous. Let's go back to Earth as soon as possible.
After Athena cracked the burr puzzle violently, she regained her consciousness and returned to her original state. Only then did she know what she did impulsively just now. Alice's eyes were already glistening with tears, and her voice was choked, "Athena, this gift is my favorite …"
"Alice, I'm sorry, I …" Athena explained helplessly, but no matter how she explained, the burr puzzle that turned into a broken corpse couldn't be resurrected.
Alice didn't cry out. She lowered her head aggrievedly. Her thin body trembled slightly as if she was trying to endure it. Athena knew that she was reckless and said guiltily, "Don't be sad, little princess. Let's go to the blue lake."
Alice raised her head. Her eyes were red and she shook her head, "No, you have already been blamed by my sister for the incident in the black rainforest last time. I don't want to implicate you."
You obviously want to make me a scapegoat, but you're still playing hard to get! Chen Rui saw it and he had a new evaluation of the little loli's black-bellied degree.
"Little princess, don't worry. You're Athena's best friend. A mere punishment is nothing!" Athena patted her chest. She didn't care about the magnificent ups and downs and said righteously, "Not to mention the blue lake, even if we go to the Mountain Xilang cave, I will protect you!"
"This is what you said. Other than the blue lake this time, you must take me with you next time you go to Mountain Xilang!" Alice finally smiled through her tears. Athena faintly felt that something was wrong, but she didn't fully understand it at the moment. She squatted down and carefully picked up the broken dark glow wood.
Alice was eager to go to the blue lake and urged, "What are you doing? Athena, let's go to the blue lake now. "
"Wait a minute. I'll see if I can ask someone to restore these fragments."
"This is simple." Alice said indifferently, "The burr puzzle was originally made by Chen Rui. Just let him make a few more."
Athena's fingers suddenly froze in mid-air and the fragments scattered all over the ground. Alice saw that she finally reacted and quickly added, "Dear Sister Athena, the Wales Family will keep their words."
Athena stood up dejectedly. As Chen Rui just gave this female swordsman a big chest and no brain evaluation, he heard Alice said to him, "Chen Rui, Your Highness specially allows you to go together."
Chen Rui quickly shook his head. Going out to play with beauties was originally an erotic and pleasant experience. He couldn't ask for more. However, among these three, one was a black-bellied woman, one was a sperm sucker and one was a violent woman. He was afraid that it would be difficult to come back alive.
"Are you going to let down my kindness?" Alice snorted with dissatisfaction.
"Chen Rui, you haven't been out of the Demon Realm yet. Since the little princess has such kindness, you can go together." Aldas suddenly said, "Remember to continue reading the book" Basic Herbs "when you come back. I will teach you the most basic method of identifying herbs tomorrow."
Aldas's words made Alice and the other two girls surprised. This clearly meant that Chen Rui had become his apprentice and not the original experiment subject!
Aldas was one of the few potion masters in the entire Demon Realm. Even the ruler of the New Moon Kingdom, Princess Royal Jía, treated him with courtesy. Now he actually accepted such a human captive as an apprentice! And he is the only official apprentice!
Although an apprentice of a potion master was nothing for Alice and Athena, for Chen Rui, it was tantamount to a life-saving talisman. It could allow him to have a normal identity to live in the Demon Realm. Otherwise, with his original human identity, he would probably be killed when he walked out of the lab.
Alright, this guy is really nice. I didn't fool him for nothing. Chen Rui glanced at Aldas gratefully and agreed to it.
This time, Alice didn't take Chen Rui around in circles like last time. Instead, she ran all the way out.
Chen Rui then knew that this "manor" was actually the outer courtyard of the New Moon City Palace. The inner courtyard was the residence of the two princesses, and it was heavily guarded. He was lucky to meet Alice last time. If he was bumped into by the guards of the inner courtyard, he would probably be dead.
Chen Rui was also a bit curious about the Demon Realm that was rumored to be full of man-eating demons. What does the real Demon Realm look like?
