Aldas stared at the bottle. All his anger and indignation were instantly thrown away. His voice trembled, "This … this is a black potion?"
"Black potion – True. Spirit Potion." Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Master, do you want it?"
This question was purely nonsense. From Aldas's fanatical eyes, it was clearly "I will fight you if you don't give it to me."
"Master, I can give it to you, but master, please promise me one thing first." Chen Rui slowly handed the bottle over.
"No need to say anything. I promise you whatever it is!" Aldas took the bottle of black potion with a trembling hand. He couldn't believe that the bottle contained the legendary supreme potion.
The dark elf's cautious movements were afraid that his hand would shatter it. He immediately placed it on the table, but he was afraid of accidentally knocking it down. He made a safety rack and piled a lot of things around it.
Chen Rui looked at Aldas's abnormal look and snickered secretly. If this master knew that as long as there was enough aura, not only the "True Series", but even the "Eternal Series" could be obtained, he would probably be so excited that he would release a lightning bolt on himself and then faint in happiness.
After Aldas put away the black potion, he didn't open the bottle stopper. He looked at it obsessively for a while as if the deep black potion was a peerless beauty that could turn all living things upside down. After half an hour, he recovered a little bit and asked, "This bottle of potion … where did you get it?"
Aldas was still a little sober. He didn't ask if Chen Rui made it himself. As a matter of fact, this apprentice was very "incompetent". After learning the basic knowledge of pharmaceutics, he basically couldn't see anyone. On the contrary, the learning progress of the imp was surprising.
"Do you remember my grand master's inheritance test this time? I have already passed half of it. As a reward, the grand master controlled me to make this bottle of True. Spirit Potion. When I woke up, the potion had successfully appeared in front of me, but I couldn't remember the formula and technique clearly. " Chen Rui felt that this grand master's excuse was getting more and more perfect. Even he couldn't find any loopholes.
"So that's how it is. Dear Demon God, the Great Grandmaster's inheritance has finally shown the dawn of pharmaceutics!" Aldas was excited again, "So, if you can complete this inheritance test, will you get the ability to make black potions?"
"I don't think so. Moreover, the second half of the inheritance is even more dangerous. If one is not careful, one might lose his life." Of course, Chen Rui wouldn't admit it. The cheapest black potion also cost 10,000 auras. Besides, he didn't want to spend all his energy on this aspect at the moment. "Master, what I want you to promise is that if the black potion is known by others in the future, you must say that you developed it yourself. You must never mention me!"
"No!" Aldas slammed the table indignantly and almost jumped up nervously. His ferocious look was shocking. Chen Rui pointed at the shaking black potion on the table. The Dark Elf's anger was immediately deflated. He hurriedly held the precious potion with both hands and put on a somewhat comical pose, but his resolute attitude was unquestionable.
"This is your glory! I will never do such a shameless thing! "
"Master, you have to think carefully. I'm not giving you this potion to be famous, but to let you study it and truly step into the realm of the Great Grandmaster. "Chen Rui said solemnly," Do you want the secret of the Great Grandmaster's inheritance to be leaked? I'm just a human, an outsider, and a powerless outsider. If the biggest secret is really leaked, how much trouble will it cause? Can I still stay in the Dark Moon? "
Aldas was touched: In terms of value, this bottle of black potion was many times more precious than all the potions that Chen Rui had "squandered" before. For a potion master, he was absolutely willing to pay any price to exchange for it. However, this human just gave it to me without any conditions except for joking.
The dark elf master calmed down and began to analyze seriously: Chen Rui is right. If the news is leaked, not only the Fallen Angel Empire, but the other two empires will also focus on the Dark Moon Estate. All parties will fight for Chen Rui at all costs. With the current strength of the Dark Moon, Princess Jía can't keep him. By then, not only the Dark Moon will lose Chen Rui, but even the balance maintained by the three empires on the surface may be broken.
Therefore, even if I study this bottle, I must do it in an extremely secretive situation. I must not let anyone know before I get any results.
Aldas' analysis made Chen Rui secretly ashamed. Even he didn't think of many things. It seemed that he underestimated the shock caused by the Great Grandmaster to the Demon Realm.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Chen Rui thought of the strange feeling when he "tasted" the black potion, including the "rule". He told Aldas everything, but the excuse was changed to the vague feeling he got from the Great Grandmaster's inheritance.
Unlike a half-baked apprentice like Chen Rui, Aldas's eyes widened as soon as he heard it. He murmured, "Rhythm … rule …"
The dark elf only thought that it was the precious experience left by the Great Grandmaster's Divine Thought. He treated it like a treasure, but he didn't expect that someone was just talking about the taste. Seeing Aldas being obsessed, Chen Rui knew that he shouldn't disturb him. He instructed the imp at the door and returned to the room.
At this time, after getting the news that Arux, Royce and the Karon Family were at daggers drawn, Joseph rushed all the way and finally returned to the Dark Moon City before the sky turned dark.
Joseph didn't return to the Dark Moon's mansion. He first went to the arena to visit the injured Arux. Then, accompanied by Royce, he came to the magic store that was ransacked. His face became gloomier.
"Sir, this is what happened." Although Royce's tone wasn't agitated, when he mentioned the Karon Family, his eyes couldn't hide the anger. "I'm willing to take full responsibility for the magic store. Please punish me, sir."
Joseph shook his head, "This is all the fault of that bastard, Alan. I can't blame you. Your injury is fine, right?"
"It's not a big deal, but Arux's injury isn't light. He will need at least half a month to recover. Mikas was not my opponent at first. If he didn't sneak attack and get poisoned by the fire poison, he wouldn't be able to come to the magic store! " Royce gritted his teeth, "Alan's cheating in the arena was exposed by Aguile. It was already known by the whole city. Reka who joined the Karon Family was also killed by Arux in public. However, Aguile's potential is indeed extraordinary. I followed him all the way and wanted to try to recruit him. It just so happened that Mikas was chasing Aguile, so I tried to stop him. However, I didn't expect so many things to happen! Before I killed Mikas, he gave a space bracelet to the guard, Ganke. Many soldiers saw it. When Arux and I went to Alan's residence, Ganke was by Alan's side. Those things must be in Alan's hands now! "
Joseph pondered for a moment and asked, "After this incident, what was the reaction of Princess Royal?"
Royce replied truthfully, "Princess Royal naturally wants to see us and the Karon Family hostile. On the surface, she sent Old Gauss to mediate, but in fact, she was sowing discord."
In Royce's heart, since the master had such an ability, he was definitely not just a small secretary. It was likely that Princess Royal was just a tool.
"En, it seems that there should be no other factors in this incident. If it was related to Princess Royal, she would show an indifferent attitude instead of this obvious provocation." Joseph nodded thoughtfully and asked, "By the way, is that Aguile really going to challenge Arux after a month?"
"Yes, Aguile was only the early stage of Intermediate Demon a month ago. When he defeated Reka, he was already at the later stage of Intermediate Demon. According to Arux and my observation, Aguile is likely to be a mutated Great Demon or a descendant of a fallen royal family. He has some kind of seal on him, and he needs to rely on battle to break the seal and restore his strength. That's why he has the courage to set a challenge for two months. Arux and him have already signed a war contract. "
"There's such a guy!" Joseph looked interested. "According to your opinion, what's the possibility of this person joining us?"
"If there's no Arux, it's almost 100%." Royce said affirmatively, "He still has a small force called the Cloak Gang. It's just that he offended Alan and set a duel date with Arux, so he can only seek the protection of a third party."
Joseph's eyes revealed a murderous intent, "You mean Princess Royal?"
Royce nodded, "When Alan sent people to wipe out the Cloak Gang this afternoon, Princess Royal's imperial guards appeared in the southeast block of the Cloak Gang, stating that the Cloak Gang has become one of the reserve forces of the imperial guards. Alan's men had no choice but to retreat. All signs indicate that Aguile has successfully sided with Princess Royal."
Joseph frowned, then he heard Royce said, "Sir, don't worry. Actually, this is my idea for Aguile. When I saved Aguile last night, I proposed to recruit him. Aguile is very grateful to me for saving his life, and he is also quite tempted by sir's proposal, but he insists on fighting with Arux and will never change. If he wins the duel, he asks to replace Arux's position and take charge of the arena. So before the duel, he will not side with us. I immediately agreed on behalf of sir and let him first serve Jía to preserve the strength of the Cloak Gang. Please forgive me for overstepping my authority. "
"No, you did a very good job!" Joseph had already faintly understood Royce's "intention", and a smile of appreciation appeared at the corner of his mouth. "If Aguile is easily beheaded by Arux a month later, we won't lose anything. Instead, we can use this to attack Jía. If Aguile can really have the power to compete with Arux a month later, then we will get a fierce general. If I can't return by then, you must remember to try to prevent the two from fighting to the death. No matter which side dies, it is something we don't want to see. "
Royce bowed, "Understood, sir."
The more fierce the battle between Joseph and Kanita, the better it would be if he had more talents under him. Otherwise, it didn't matter even if Arux and Aguile died. He asked again, "By the way, is the Princess Retail Store opened by the little princess doing well recently?"
Royce had reported this to Joseph early in the morning. He nodded and said, "Yes, especially the demon-fighting chess and princess chess. The Mellon Family once spent 50,000 black crystal coins to buy the alchemy work of the ancient grand master. It is said that the mystery contained in it is still unsolved."
"The grand master's work …" Joseph thought of the bet between Alice and himself during the Sky Battle, and a faint cold light appeared in his eyes. "I want to know more about the Princess Retail Store."
Royce understood that even if he didn't say it, Joseph could easily understand the intel of the Princess Retail Store in the Dark Moon now. So, he told him everything.
The more Joseph listened, the more solemn his expression became. He narrowed his eyes and fell into contemplation.
Royce exclaimed, "Although I'm a layman in business, I admire the little princess Royal Highness a little now. She can actually run such a weird store into the most famous store in the Dark Moon City."
"No!" Joseph shook his head, "This should not be the little princess's ability. Otherwise, her store would have long been famous in the Dark Moon! Don't underestimate this inconspicuous business. The wisdom and skills contained in it are beyond imagination. Let's go to the Princess Retail Store tomorrow and see the situation first. "
Royce said indignantly, "What about Alan? He is just a useless person who relies on his family's power. Please forgive me, sir. I can't tolerate being stepped on by such a useless person! "
Joseph knew that Royce was originally the heir of a big family. Although he was deprived of his honor, the pride in his bones was even greater than Arux. He comforted, "Don't worry. Although I don't want to completely fall out with the Karon Family for the time being, I won't let anyone bully me. We still have to win over Alan. Before that, I will give him a little lesson."
Royce nodded and didn't say anything. Joseph smiled with satisfaction. He never thought that this "arrogant" subordinate was deliberately provoking him just now.
