Desolate. This was Chen Rui's first impression of New Crescent City.
He didn't know if all the cities in the Demon Realm were like this. Most of the buildings in New Crescent City, including the palace, looked old. There were fewer shops and stalls for trading. The Demons he saw along the way were quite ugly, but most of them were wearing shabby clothes. The whole city was full of a desolate and desolate atmosphere.
The appearance of the Demons made Chen Rui scared. If his human identity was exposed, even if he wasn't eaten, his life would be in danger.
"Hey! That guy, straighten your back, don't clamp your feet too tightly, relax your shoulders! " Alina's voice interrupted Chen Rui's thoughts. "You're a man. Any child from our Wales Family is much stronger than you!"
In fact, Chen Rui really wanted to say that he was still a virgin, so he wasn't a man in the real sense. However, his posture was a bit weird at the moment. He was lying on the back of the tri-horned rhino like a toad. His hands were hugging the wide shell tightly, for fear that he would accidentally fall and be trampled by this behemoth.
"Sorry, it's my first time riding such a big guy." Chen Rui was wondering why there were no stirrups or saddles in this world. It was a good opportunity to plagiarize his invention. He didn't expect that Alice and the others' tri-horned rhinos were all equipped with a full set of saddle equipment. It turned out that the treatment was just different.
"You don't have to clamp so tightly for the first time! Loosen your legs! "Alina reprimanded loudly.
The little loli didn't really understand, so she kindly advised, "Alina, don't be so anxious. It's your first time, of course I'll clamp it tight."
This sentence almost made Chen Rui fall off the tri-horned rhino. Many Demons along the way noticed his strangeness and pointed at him. Fortunately, Chen Rui was wearing a cloak, so his human identity wasn't exposed for the time being. Only a few Demons who were particularly sensitive to smell showed doubts. With the little princess and Athena around, no one dared to approach.
When they reached the city gate, the four tri-horned rhinos were stopped.
"Your Highness Alice, where are you going?" The one who stopped the Tri-Horned Rhino was a male Demon in armor. He was tall and strong, with red skin and two huge curved horns on his head. His facial features were deep, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura. From his appearance, he looked like a big demon.
"It turned out to be Sheriff General Allen. He actually patrolled personally today." Alice smiled slightly. "We are going to the blue lake."
General Allen frowned and said, "Recently, there has been a small situation at the blue lake. I'm worried that there is something wrong with the sleeping poison dragon. I have already sent scouts to investigate. Your Highness Alice should wait until it is safe before going there to play."
"That Poison Dragon has been sleeping for thousands of years, and it still has the Lord of Midnight Sun's strongest < Lock of Light and Dark >, so there's no problem at all." Alice pointed at Chen Rui. "Besides, I'm not going there to play this time … This is Master Aldas's new apprentice. The master asked me to take him to the blue lake to collect some herbs."
Among the two branches of alchemy, if mechanics gave people the feeling of "reverence", then potioneer was "awe". People were more afraid of those poisons and negative potions, but they ignored their healing and buff effects.
The keywords of a potioneer master were usually mysterious, terrifying and vicious, and they couldn't be provoked. Aldas was such a representative figure. The screams of the testers often came from the laboratory. Even the palace guards didn't dare to approach. He really didn't understand why Princess Royal Highness was willing to place such a dangerous person in the outer courtyard of the palace.
Such a mysterious and terrifying potioneer master actually accepted an apprentice. Allen was very curious about who this apprentice was. After taking a few more glances, his eyes suddenly became sharp. At that moment, Alice just let Chen Rui take off his cloak.
"This is the human who was caught by us last time!" A soldier behind Allen exclaimed. For a moment, all kinds of hostile eyes were focused on him. Chen Rui forced himself to maintain a natural expression. Cold sweat had already flowed down from his forehead.
Allen discovered Chen Rui's identity earlier than the soldiers. He remembered that when he reported to Princess Royal, Master Aldas happened to be present. He personally offered to take this human away as an experiment subject. Now such a captive, or a slave, actually changed and became the master's apprentice?
Alice introduced to Allen as if nothing happened, "This human is named Chen Rui. Because he is very talented in pharmaceutics, he has now been accepted as an official apprentice by Master Aldas. He will be considered as a part of our New Moon City in the future."
Athena added impatiently, "This is what Princess Alice and I heard from the master today. If you still have doubts, you can ask Master Aldas directly!"
"Athena, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I …"
General Allen's attitude towards Athena was a bit strange. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Athena coldly, "Allen, your interrogation should be over right? Don't delay our time to collect herbs!"
Athena's stiff attitude made Allen feel helpless. He said to Alice, "Little princess, just in case, I will send a team of soldiers to protect you."
Alice smiled and asked, "Are you worried that Athena can't protect me?"
Athena's delicate eyebrows raised and her red pupils flashed a sharp light. Allen quickly shook his head and looked at Chen Rui coldly, "Human! Don't try to escape or play any tricks, or I will crush every bone of yours. "
After Allen finished, he slightly bowed to the little princess and signaled for her to go.
Four tri-horned rhinos left the city gate with heavy footsteps. In the Dark Moon City, the news that Master Aldas accepted a human apprentice spread quickly.
"Actually, I think Allen is quite good. His family status is a good match for yours." Alice looked at Athena with a smile, "If he didn't bypass you and directly propose marriage to your dad, you might not be so disgusted with him."
Athena said disdainfully, "I don't like him in the first place! This guy is timid and incompetent. He relied on the Karon Family's power to become a sheriff. He only knows how to bully the weak. He doesn't have any real ability. "
The "weak" at the side finally understood. It turned out that there was such a gossip. No wonder the violent woman treated General Allen like an enemy.
"He must be the one who snitched to Princess Royal when we went to the black rainforest last time. I hate this kind of person the most." Athena sneered, "He still wants to hit on me? Ask the sword in my hand first! "
"That's right. Athena is mine. No one can take her away." The little loli laughed. "Let's speed up!"
The tri-horned rhino began to accelerate. It was hard to believe that such a rapid speed was driven by such a huge body. For Chen Rui who had no auxiliary tools on the rhino's back, it was undoubtedly a torture. He could only use the Toad Skill to lie on the rhino's back, and he almost fell off several times. Athena thought it was troublesome, so she exchanged mounts with him. Looking at the violent woman who was running at high speed on the back of the giant rhino, Chen Rui could only write the word "convinced" in his heart.
Compared with the sunny world in Arthur's memory, the environment of the Demon Realm was much worse. The light source came from the two "stars" in the sky. Although it was a "star", its light and heat intensity was far inferior to the sun on the earth. Most of the time, the light was covered by the heavy clouds in the sky. At night, they became the "moon" again, emitting a lavender icy brilliance. The temperature difference between day and night was huge.
Along the way, huge pits formed by long-term corrosion could be seen everywhere. Dark, mysterious, unknown caves, and all kinds of strange plants formed a dark and beautiful landscape.
The blue lake area was huge and surrounded by mountains. The environment was particularly quiet, the water was blue, and the lakeside was lush with flowers. It was like a paradise in the dark world.
However, Chen Rui soon learned from Alice that the reason why the lake water was blue was that there was a huge adult poison dragon sleeping at the bottom of the lake. The venom on its body dyed the lake water blue, and there was no living creature in the lake. Most of the lush flowers and plants by the lake were poisonous. Some delicate flowers were even carnivorous species. The beautiful appearance came from the flesh and blood of the prey.
The power of the dragon was quite terrifying, especially the rare Dragons that were poisonous. They could easily wipe out the entire population of a city, so no one dared to provoke them easily. This poison dragon had been sleeping in the lake for thousands of years. Just 400 years ago, there was a rebellion in the Dark Moon Estate. The strongest powerhouse of the Demon Realm, the Lord of Midnight Sun, led the army personally. When he passed by the blue lake, he didn't dare to wake up the poison dragon. In order to let it continue to sleep, he deliberately set up a seal of < Lock of Light and Dark >.
"There is a law in the Demon Realm. The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."
Chen Rui deeply agreed with Alice's words, and he secretly added another sentence in his heart. The witch is the same.
The super cute little princess, the charming maid, the valiant swordswoman, which one of them isn't dangerous?
After all, the poison dragon sleeping in the lake wasn't a decoration. Athena didn't dare to get too close with the little princess. She carefully chose a safer hill that could look down at the wide lake. The view was very good.
"I haven't been to the blue lake for a long time. Athena, do you remember the last time?" Alice suggested excitedly, "It's rare for us to come out. Why don't we have another picnic?"
Athena hesitated a little, "Didn't Eren say that the blue lake has been abnormal recently? Let's pick the fruit and go back quickly. "
"Do you really believe the words of that coward, Eren?" Alice shook her head disapprovingly, "If you invite him to come together, he will immediately say that the poison dragon has been eliminated. The blue lake is safer than their bathroom."
"I won't invite that annoying guy!" Athena snorted coldly. She agreed with Alice in her heart. "Well, Kia will go pick the Jade Dragonfruit, and I will get some prey. Hey, human, you and Alice can set it up here. "
In fact, Chen Rui wanted to try to use those poisonous flowers to improve the progress of the Super System, but considering the terrifying man-eating flower and the big boss in the lake, he immediately extinguished this idea.
After Kia and Athena left, Alice directed Chen Rui to get busy. The bracelet on her wrist was a space equipment that could store items, but the quality level shouldn't be very high. The space inside wasn't big, and the little loli stuffed it full. As a result, when the space entrance was opened, a bunch of things fell out, followed by another bunch.
Chen Rui had to help her clean up. As a result, he accidentally "picked up" a bunch of underwear. Some of them were actually lace in a large size. Chen Rui was stunned. His first reaction was that this world already had this thing. His second reaction was that this size didn't match the little loli's undeveloped part at all. Could Alice be some kind of legendary "fetish"?
Under Alice's murderous gaze, Chen Rui pretended not to see the pile of things. He turned around to clean up other items. When he turned around, the pile of things had disappeared.
The things in Alice's storage space were quite complete. Soon, a full set of picnic utensils was cleaned up. It seemed that this little loli was always preparing for the trip.
At this time, Athena and Kia hadn't returned yet. Alice looked around and saw that no one was around. She walked toward Chen Rui step by step. Chen Rui was nervous and asked, "Little princess, do you have any other orders?"
"The plot is not like this." Alice showed a strange smile and said, "You should say, don't come over. If you come over again, I will call for help! Then I will say, you can shout until your throat breaks, but no one will come to save you! "
Chen Rui only felt a black line hanging on his forehead. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Then I shouted, 'Break your throat, break your throat'. In the end, the guy named 'No one' came to save me?"
Alice showed a look of surprise, "It turns out that the human world also has the book" The Demon King and the Princess "."
Chen Rui smiled inscrutably and didn't respond. It seemed that many things were common, regardless of dimension or race.
But then he couldn't laugh because Alice said, "Tell me a good story, just like the primeval world last time. Your imagination is quite rich."
Chen Rui's heart skipped a beat as he listened, and he defended, "That's not a story, but a real thing! If I didn't inherit Master Wukong's Divine Thought, how could I make Huarong Dao and burr puzzle? "
"I'll tell you a secret that even Athena doesn't know." Alice lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "When I first met you, I just happened to awaken a special bloodline talent in the Lucifer Royal Family, called mind reading, and … I accidentally tried it on you."
Chen Rui was shocked, and he couldn't speak for a while.
