Holy Mountain, Forest of Radiance of the Blessed Palace.
The Forest of Radiance was on the mountain behind the Blessed Palace. The trees in this forest were all white, and there was an angel statue standing in the middle. This statue was about 4 meters tall with handsome features and two pairs of wings behind it. It was holding a book in its hand, exuding a faint holy aura.
Saintess Udora was half-kneeling in front of the statue, praying softly. Suddenly, a breeze blew through the entire white forest, and there was already a man in front of the statue. The man had a medium build, brown hair, and blue eyes. He had a book under his armpit, and his appearance was very similar to the statue. He looked gentle and handsome, but his calm eyes faintly revealed an invisible deterrent.
"Udora, I heard your anxious prayer in my sleep, so I deliberately woke up early. Did something happen?"
"Sir Isyorul," Udora lowered her head, "I'm sorry to wake you up early, but this matter is too important, so I had to disturb sir."
"Oh?" The man frowned, "What is it?"
Udora told the story of "Richard" pretending to be a temple knight, sneaking into the Holy Mountain, and destroying the holy tree, but she hid the phoenix egg.
"What?" The man was still calm at first, but when he heard the disappearance of the Snowdale tree, he was finally moved and said angrily, "You useless things! You actually let the enemy break into the Holy Mountain and destroy the holy tree! Do you know how serious the consequences are? "
Udora felt the strong pressure, and her body trembled slightly. She didn't dare to use her strength to resist, and her head lowered even more, "Sir, please calm down. It's our incompetence. This incident is likely to be related to the Black Death Apostles. Before the incident, there were three incidents of the Black Death Apostles blasphemy in the Kingdom of Yangshao. The Holy Mountain sent the inquisition and a large number of troops out to clean them up, but unexpectedly, the enemy was so cruel and cunning that he dared to sneak into the Holy Mountain at this time … From Pusmir's analysis, the Snowdale tree might not necessarily be destroyed. It is likely that it was taken away by the enemy with sorcery. This blood bead was left by the enemy. Please use your divine eyes to search for the traces of the enemy. "
"Black Death Apostles?" A cold light flashed in Isyorul's eyes. He stretched out his hand, and the dark red blood bead offered by Udora floated up. A slit gradually opened between his eyebrows, and a third eye appeared. The golden pupil shot out a shining light on the blood bead. A large pale red projection gradually appeared behind the blood bead. It was a three-dimensional image.
At the center of the image was a fat figure. The 'camera' seemed to be following the fat figure as it locked onto the fat figure. Along the way, many buildings could be seen, especially some landmarks. If one was familiar with the geography of the human world, the location of the 'fat figure' would be obvious.
The "fatty" in the projection did not know that danger was slowly approaching. At this time, he was casually walking in the crowd.
The territory of the human world was very vast, and the population density was far higher than that of the Demon World. Other than the two Holy Empires, there were also many small and large kingdoms that competed for benefits. Sometimes, there would be wars, but there were always a few kingdoms that remained neutral. There were public teleportation points in the kingdoms, which could greatly reduce the time of long-distance travel.
In reality, behind these neutral kingdoms were the two great Holy Empires. The true purpose of the teleportation point was more of a strategic purpose. Of course, at present, the two empires still maintained a peaceful and friendly relationship on the surface. There were various forms of cooperation in various fields, and there were many marriages. The most famous one was the marriage between Princess Rambis, known as the Pearl of the Rayo Empire, and the Third Prince of the Long Huang Empire, Arthur. Because when they were about to be engaged, Prince Arthur suddenly disappeared.
As the Dragon Bright Emperor, Rex, insisted that Arthur was not dead due to the blood connection, if Princess Rambis were to marry someone else, it would be equivalent to slapping the face of Rex The Great and the entire Long Huang Empire. Therefore, that Rambis could only hang the identity of "Arthur's fiancée", hanging there.
Currently, Chen Rui was heading to one of the neutral kingdoms, the Roya Kingdom. From the Roya Kingdom's teleportation gate, he could reach the Starlight Kingdom. Then, from the Starlight Kingdom's waterway, he could directly reach the outer edge of the Jadeite Forest Sea.
The Starlight Kingdom was a true neutral kingdom. The Starlight Academy in the kingdom was the most famous academy of the human race. It had a long history and nurtured countless elites. Many geniuses had left a deep mark in the history of the human race. Many empires or kingdoms would send their children to the Starlight Academy to study, including … the Third Prince of the Long Huang Empire, Arthur. This was what Chen Rui knew from the memory fragments.
Chen Rui set off from Garton City, passed through a few small kingdoms, and finally reached the teleportation point of the Roya Kingdom, Mirror City. In the Roya Kingdom, he had already turned into a chubby merchant. He had a fat head and big ears, and his small eyes were filled with shrewdness and cunning.
The reason why he changed his appearance was to be discreet. Of course, Chen Rui did not know that there was a fake Erlang Shen in the Holy Mountain, nor did he know that his whereabouts had been exposed by the pool of blood left behind by his injury.
Secondly, it was to make it easier for him to purchase fire-type ores. The phoenix egg's demand for fire-type energy was getting higher and higher. The fire-type ores that he bought in Garton City had already been used up, and he had to buy two more along the way. Now, he was on the verge of running out of food again. Before the egg hatched, Chen Rui already had a deep understanding of the phrase "crying piteously for food".
Mirror City was the second largest city in the Roya Kingdom. Due to the teleportation point, it was as prosperous as the imperial capital. However, what surprised Chen Rui was that after visiting a few magic shops and material shops, he only managed to buy a total of 20 low-quality fire-type ores. After refining them, they were not even enough for the little phoenix to eat. Once the "food" ran out, the little phoenix's life force would rapidly decline, and Chen Rui did not want it to starve to death.
The staff of the last magic shop showed an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, sir. We only have these few fire-type ores in our shop."
Chen Rui put on a curious expression. "Why are fire-type ores in such high demand? I see that you have a lot of other magic ores in stock. "
"It's like this. A while ago, Lord Clayde of the Temple of Light bought up all the high-quality fire-type ores in the city. We urgently transferred a few batches of them to Lord Clayde. In addition to his daily needs, the fire-type ores in Mirror City are basically out of stock."
"Why does Lord Clayde want to buy fire-type ores?"
"I don't know. If you're not in a hurry, you can order from our shop in advance. The fastest time for the next batch to arrive is a month later, which is already the fastest in the city."
Chen Rui shook his head. He was in a hurry. Due to the need for energy replenishment and repairs, Mirror City's teleportation gate opened once a month. There were still two days left until the gate opened. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait another month.
Chen Rui thought for a moment and set his sights on Lord Clayde. In any case, he had already formed an "indissoluble bond" with the church. He had even stolen the Snow Dallet and the little phoenix, so a few fire-type ores wouldn't make a difference.
After inquiring about the location of the Temple of Light, Chen Rui walked straight there. After passing through a small plaza, he suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on a man sitting under a statue.
This man looked ordinary. He had short black hair and a red headband. There were a few strange ornaments hanging on his body, and he looked a little sloppy from afar. He was laying out a few poker cards on the ground.
Chen Rui walked over and looked at this man curiously.
Race: Human
Overall Strength Assessment: D (S)
Constitution: D- (S-), Strength: D- (S), Spirit: D (S), Speed: D (S +)
[Analysis]: Light attribute, wind attribute.
Although he looked like a Higher Demon, his true strength had reached the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord.
The man looked at Chen Rui who came over and immediately said, "Sir, my magic card divination here is the most accurate. Do you want to know your future fortune? Fortune, women's fortune, and career fortune can all be calculated. It only costs 1 black crystal coin each time! "
Chen Rui was a little embarrassed. This guy with the strength of the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord is actually a fortune-teller, and he is a little familiar with that kind of fortune-telling card. Golden Emperor, Queen in White, King of Darkness …
The duel of fate!
When Chen Rui fought with Lich King Glorios in the Dead Sea of Hatred, he used this ancient game magic card. I didn't expect it to exist in the human world.
The man saw Chen Rui's interest and said, "Sir, you seem to know the goods, then you should know the magical effect of this ancient divination card …"
"As far as I know, the duel of fate is not some divination card." Chen Rui shook his head, "And I'm not interested in divination or anything. What I'm interested in is your bead chain. Name a price."
What Chen Rui referred to was a string of red beads worn by the man. This string of beads looked old and weird, but it was actually made of rare Infernal Soul Stone. It had a powerful fire element power. It was said that only volcanoes with extremely rich fire elements produced a small amount. This string of beads was very pure and almost didn't need refining. Although the quantity was not much, the quality was very high. It was enough for Little Phoenix to "eat" for several days.
The man's eyes glowed. He looked at Chen Rui a few times seriously, but he didn't see through his disguised strength. He grinned, "Fatty, I can't tell that you really have good eyesight. You can recognize the origin of this magic card at a glance. Besides that old guy, you are the second … My bead chain is not for sale. It's useless no matter how much money you offer. However, since you recognize the 'duel of fate', you must be an expert … If you can beat me 3 times, I will give you this Infernal Soul Stone bead chain. How about it? If you lose, give me all your money. "
Chen Rui's heart moved, and he showed hesitation, "I just saw the 2 seniors play this card. There seems to be a special card table, and there are 3 ways to play. It shouldn't be difficult, but my spirit power is too weak to drive these magic cards at all."
"Spirit power is not a problem!" The man suddenly became energetic and jumped up, "My territory can … Uh, I have a way. As long as you know how to play, I guarantee that it won't consume spirit power!"
"I don't know how to play …" Chen Rui said very reservedly.
"Don't know how to play? That means you know a little? That's great! Let's play a thousand games. You just need to beat me 3 times. "The man showed great enthusiasm.
"A thousand games?" Chen Rui was taken aback. This guy was too … "I don't have that much time. I have to leave the day after tomorrow."
"Then 500 games! 300 games? 100 games? "
"Is it … I just need to win 3 times first?" Chen Rui looked at the bead chain, his small eyes shining.
