"Of course it's me," Chen Rui was now using the face of "Richard", or more accurately, Shura.
This Bilia was the "bed partner" that Chen Rui saw in Shura's memory, the Black Death Apostle's Great Deacon, Solange!
Bilia's facial outline was not very similar to Solange's, the color of her hair and pupils were also different, and her arrogant temperament could not be seen as seductive and wanton as Solange. However, Chen Rui's intuition told him that she was Solange.
Especially after revealing her identity, this woman's first reaction made Chen Rui even more certain. Who would have thought that the sister of the Starlight Kingdom's Jade Star City's Castellan, the Starlight Academy's Vice Minister of the Academy's Affairs Department, was actually a Black Death Apostle! Furthermore, she was the Black Death Apostle's Great Deacon!
This matter was likely to involve the mysterious church that had disappeared for tens of thousands of years. Just how far did they stretch their hands?
Bilia looked around vigilantly. Chen Rui smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've already sealed off this area with my domain. Coupled with the soundproof magic array in your office, no one outside will be able to hear our conversation. Even if we do something lovey-dovey here, no one will know."
The last sentence was purposely said by imitating Shura's tone. At this time and place, Bilia would definitely not act recklessly. Once she was discovered, even if she did not expose her identity as a Black Death Apostle, she would still be in danger of losing her reputation.
"Hmph! I haven't seen you for a while, and your upper and lower body have been inverted? " Bilia calmed down a little and said unhappily, "You've been missing for so long, and I couldn't contact you at all. I thought you were already … I didn't expect you to be a Radiant Knight."
"The most dangerous place is often the safest place, not to mention this identity is just a disguise." Chen Rui smiled disdainfully and said, "Aren't you also an upper-class member of the Starlight Academy? As for my disappearance … Just as you expected, Angelie really wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of me. She sent me out to complete a dangerous mission and sent people to assassinate me. I beat her at her own game and hid myself, waiting for the right time to attack that woman. "
This was not a lie. Shura's speed of promotion was too fast, causing the bishop of the Black Death Apostles, Angelie, to feel a deep sense of fear. The mission this time was indeed abnormally dangerous, and they even sent out an assassin to kill Shura. However, Shura had been summoned back to his original body by Chen Rui because of the battle with Teris. After that, he had naturally 'disappeared'.
"It's good that you're fine. I've been worried sick. I believe you'll give Angeli a big 'surprise' when the time comes." Bilia smiled. In fact, both of them had a tacit understanding. Bilia also wanted to use Shura to get rid of Angeli. She had even planned to get rid of Shura as well. As for the carnal relationship between the two of them (actually, it was Shura), it was only used and indulged. It was not enough to become some kind of restraint or bargaining chip.
"Your worries are unnecessary," Chen Rui said with a double meaning. "Now that I'm in the dark, as long as the time is right, I can give Angelie a fatal blow … Are you confident in replacing her as bishop?"
"Me? Bishop? "Bilia looked very surprised, but she was quickly trying to figure out the true meaning of these words.
Chen Rui shook his head. "I'm not interested in leading a group of people and indoctrinating them. What I pursue is absolute power, and I'm more suitable to take the path of a guardian."
Compared to the duty of "educating", a guardian was equivalent to a pure killing machine. The focus was on the development and cultivation of martial strength.
Bilia's mind spun quickly, and she revealed a pondering expression. "Richard's" identity was only a Knight of Light, and it was very likely to be fake. However, her identity as a deputy minister was no small matter. If it were to be exposed, there would be endless trouble. The best solution should be to silence her. However, in terms of combat strength, she was far inferior to the other party. Moreover, the other party was also a scheming person, and would not be easily deceived or tricked.
Chen Rui saw through Bilia's concerns. "I admire your wisdom and means, and I also know that you have a considerable background. Whether it's here or 'there', with my potential and strength, we can work together and walk further and further on this path, instead of stabbing each other in the back midway … The premise is that you really want to cooperate with me."
Bilia looked into Chen Rui's eyes and finally revealed a charming smile. It formed a strong contrast with her usual arrogant temperament, and she did not hide the temptation in her eyes at all. "I very much agree with what you said. Perhaps, an equal contract can be the beginning of our true intimacy?"
"Of course, true intimacy, no matter what aspect." Chen Rui also smiled. This was exactly the proposal he wanted to say.
The conversation in the office ended. Chen Rui did not go to the pharmacy department again, but left the academy directly.
Matthew and his disciple had been waiting for the worst result to appear, but what they were worried about did not happen. Instead, Bilia sent someone to bring a message. "This matter is just a misunderstanding."
She could obviously use this opportunity to push Fitz into a desperate situation, but she did not do anything. This was definitely not Bilia's style. There was only one answer. That "Knight of Light" not only did not betray Fitz, but instead displayed unimaginable power to make Bilia give up on her attempt on Fitz.
As for a certain Knight of Light, he was now sitting in a carriage returning to Venus City, and he was in a good mood.
This trip to Starlight Academy was originally for the Blue Glow Grass, but he unexpectedly met Shura's Black Death Apostle 'lover'. Chen Rui would definitely not expose Bilia's identity now, not because of the contract that could be canceled through spiritual link at any time, but because he wanted to cast a long line to catch a big fish, and further delve deeper into the mysterious church.
In fact, the harvest from this trip to Starlight Academy was far more than this. Using his relationship with Bilia, he had obtained a large amount of Blue Glow Grass and seeds that far exceeded his expectations, as well as magic rune papers and Scorpion Lock Vines. This trip's material mission had already been exceeded. Not only that, there was another surprise, and that was the quota to enter the Tower of Stars.
The Tower of Stars was the greatest mystery of Starlight Academy, and it was well-known in the human world. It was said that even for Saint-tier powerhouses, this was an excellent way to train. The Tower of Stars opened once every ten years, and it was currently the tenth year of its opening. As the quota was limited, the academy was already holding a corresponding competition to compete for the qualifications to enter the Tower of Stars.
In addition, every teacher who had reached a certain level or made a special contribution would have an additional recommendation quota. This recommendation quota could be from outside the academy, and it was mainly for teachers that the academy wanted to recruit or recruit.
Bilia naturally had an additional recommendation quota. She originally wanted to give it to her nephew, Neil, but Neil could only be regarded as mud that could not be helped by the wall regardless of temperament or strength. He only relied on his relationship with Bilia to become an elite student and join the law enforcement team. It was nothing more than to fight with his brother for his father's position as the castellan in the future, and to gain political capital.
Bilia's ambition was not just to become the bishop of the mysterious church. After signing an equal contract with Chen Rui, it was equivalent to placing her bet on this' Richard 'with great potential, establishing a relationship of mutual benefit. The stronger 'Richard' was, the higher her chances of winning, so she did not hesitate to give the recommendation quota to Chen Rui.
The official opening time of the Tower of Stars was more than two months later. Due to the Demon Realm Alchemist Competition, Chen Rui could only stay in the human world for a maximum of four months this time. Therefore, he could not spend these two months waiting in Venus City. There were two choices in front of him. First, go to the Jadeite Forest Sea to seek advice from the two grandmasters. Second, go to the Island of Storms to obtain the source of light and the source of wind.
After much consideration, Chen Rui decided to go to the Island of Storms first. The Island of Storms was located in the southern sea of Garton City of the Yangshao Kingdom. It was very far from the Starlight Kingdom, but Venus City was a teleportation city. It had a teleportation point to the Roya Kingdom's Mirror City, and Mirror City was the largest teleportation transit station in the human world. With teleportation points to various places, it could greatly reduce the time of long-distance travel.
Tomorrow was the time when the teleportation points of Venus City and Mirror City would open at the same time. Including the sea voyage, it would probably take half a month to reach the Island of Storms. Anyway, the star point was set in Venus City, so it would only take a blink of an eye to get back.
After returning to Venus City from the Island of Storms, he could go to the Jadeite Forest Sea via the sea route of Cerulean Star City and learn for a period of time under the guidance of the two grandmasters. He only needed to rush back one day before the opening of the Tower of Stars.
The Island of Storms was one of the famous dangerous places in the human world. Just the violent hurricanes that surrounded the sea all year round had taken the lives of countless sailors. The island was even more dangerous. However, in the minds of many adventurers, risk and wealth often coexisted. Moreover, the Island of Storms had many unique resources. The Mercenary Guild often had related missions with high pay. Of course, there was no lack of adventurers who came to try their luck and search for treasures.
On the sea, at the edge of a hurricane, a white sailboat was swaying left and right, struggling desperately.
The burly bearded captain roared, "Just one last step! As long as we pass through this last area, we can leave this damn place! "
"Captain, the secondary mast is broken!"
"Captain, the water seepage in the rear has exceeded the warning level!"
"…"
"Full rudder left! Steady! Meng Siyang, bring a few people to reinforce the port side! " The bearded captain's voice was a little hoarse, "Think about the wine and women in Garton City, think about the black crystal coins in your pockets after completing the mission! As long as we leave this place, I'll go all out and invite you bastards to Rosa's Bar for ten days! "
Normally, these words would have caused the crew to cheer, but now there was no response. Seeing death approaching, everyone's heart was like a taut bowstring that could snap at any time. The bearded captain's hoarse voice was gradually drowned out by the terrifying whistling. Many people had already begun to break down, and some were even praying.
The approaching black hurricane was like a ferocious giant beast. Just as it was about to suck the ship into its mouth, the "beast" suddenly stopped moving and quickly retreated. Along the way, it seemed to be torn apart by something and scattered to the left and right.
Only when the two separated hurricanes were far away did the survivors wake up as if they had woken up from a dream, and they all started to cheer.
"The God of Light! It must be a miracle of the God of Light! "A sailor who believed in the God of Light shouted, his eyes glowing.
The bearded captain slapped the head of this fanatical believer and pointed in a direction, "Your God of Light is over there."
That person looked and saw a majestic black sailboat in the distance, breaking through the waves at an unbelievable speed. It was actually sailing in a straight line, completely ignoring the existence of the hurricane. A figure floated in the air in front of the sailboat. This figure casually punched, and the hurricane in the distance was torn apart.
Everyone stared at this scene dumbfounded. As veterans of the sea region, this was the first time they had seen someone use such a violent method to charge into the stormy sea region!
No matter what, the strong were worthy of respect, not to mention the benefactor who had saved their lives. Under the leadership of the bearded captain, the sailors were filled with reverence as they saluted the black sailboat that was gradually disappearing from their sight.
"That's right, captain, you just said … Rosa's Bar for ten days?"
"That's right, I heard it too!"
"Meng Siyang, you bastard. When I told you to reinforce the port side, where did your ears go?"
"Rosa's Bar!"
"Rosa's Bar!"
"…"
The bearded man's roar was once again drowned out, but this time it was a wave of cheers.
Chen Rui didn't pay attention to the sailboat behind him. The rescue just now was just a matter of convenience. Although it only took 10 days to get here, his time was very limited in general. He must rush to the Storm Island as soon as possible.
It wasn't the first time the Devil's Snare Ship entered the stormy sea region. Based on the nautical map, the sandmen skillfully maneuvered the ship to bypass some possible dangerous areas and advanced toward the Storm Island at the fastest speed.
In order to save Samuel, Chen Rui once boarded the Storm Island and fought fiercely with a mysterious creature on the island. This mysterious creature was the Titan. [Analytical Eyes] showed that the Titan with powerful combat power was actually an alchemy lifeform.
This kind of alchemy lifeform was probably a product left behind by the ancient alchemy civilization. In the City of Stars controlled by Chen Rui, there were alchemy lifeforms such as giant crystal beasts and lamp spirits. However, when Chen Rui released the spiritual imprint of the ancient alchemy civilization, the Titans showed unexpected anger and launched a more violent attack on Chen Rui.
It could be seen that the Titans must be related to the ancient alchemy civilization. As for why there was such a strong hostility, it was still unknown. In addition to the Titans, Chen Rui also encountered another powerful existence on the island last time, the wind elementals!
Not only the elementals, but also the king-the Wind Elemental King with the origin fragment of the wind!
The speed of the Wind Elemental King was extremely amazing. It was even above [Sonic Boom]. Coupled with the power of the origin fragment and the elemental law, although it was limited to the Demon Overlord level, its combat power was definitely on the same level as the S + + level of Rolla and Dodo.
Last time, Chen Rui used the [Concealment] to escape the pursuit of the Wind Elemental King. There was no doubt that in this exchange, he would face the mortal enemy of the Earth Elemental King head-on. Perhaps the mystery of the Titans could also be answered.
