Yangshao Kingdom, Garton City.
In a cave on a barren mountain on the outskirts of the city.
"Lord Ben Hong." Chen Rui bowed to the Fountain of Resurrection that was shrouded in mist.
The mist quickly gathered into a hazy woman's body, looking mysterious and ethereal. Her eyes slowly opened, emitting a faint light.
When Chen Rui's eyes met the light, he only felt that his power was quickly being drawn out of his body. He was shocked, and quickly used the power of the Evil Eye to remove the strange power that was "stripping" him away.
"Not bad," the woman said with an appreciative smile. She then said in a pleasant voice, "Your Evil Eye may have originated from Charlie, but it has other uses. When Charlie used the Curse of the Evil Moon, he would never have thought that this would happen."
Chen Rui heard the unspoken words behind Ben Hong's praise: I won't make the same mistake as Charlie, and you shouldn't have any thoughts about it either.
"You flatter me, Lord. In fact, because my soul power is a little special, and the mutation of the Evil Eye this time was just a fluke. I was almost killed because of it, and I still feel scared when I think about it."
"Luck is also a part of strength …" Ben Hong did not linger on this topic. His tone changed, "Do you know where we are going this time?"
Chen Rui did not play dumb, and answered, "Lord once said that Satan wanted to imitate Michael and the others. He wanted to collect the Book of Destruction and control all the super strong people in the Demon World. He wanted to create the Shrine of Darkness and steal the faith of the gods to condense the Godhead and step on the road to becoming a god. So, is our destination this time … the core of the Church of Light, the Holy Mountain of Light? "
"Yes, the Book of Creation is in the Shrine of Light at the peak of the Holy Mountain of Light." Ben Hong looked at him deeply, "Are you familiar with the Holy Mountain of Light?"
"I … have been to the Holy Light City of the Holy Mountain of Light once." Chen Rui took a deep breath. "Actually, I'm a human. Milord should already know this."
Ben Hong nodded slightly, and a dim light flashed in his eyes. Chen Rui looked straight at her without avoiding her gaze, and his eyes showed a burning light, "Madam, my original intention of going to the Devil Realm was to train my strength, but I unexpectedly met the most important woman in my life, so I decided to stay in the Devil Realm. I've already prepared for the worst before heading to the Holy Mountain of Light this time … However, I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, and that is to return to the Devil Realm. "
Chen Rui's meaning was very clear. Although he had worries, he had already made arrangements for his funeral. At worst, he would just perish together with them.
Judging from the difference in strength between the two sides, it would be a joke if both sides suffered heavy losses. However, their destination this time was the Holy Mountain of Light. Under certain circumstances, there was still a possibility that both sides would perish together.
"Since you've spoken so frankly, I'll tell you the doubts in my heart. I can't be sure if what you're leading me to is a trap. " Ben Hong laughed, but Chen Rui keenly heard a hint of gloom in the laughter. "If you want to get rid of my control, this is a very effective way. So, we need a way to get the best of both worlds in a situation of mutual distrust, such as … "
"Master-servant contract," Chen Rui interrupted.
If it was a master-servant contract, the master could pay a certain price to kill the servant; a master-servant contract was different. The master could not kill the servant, but with the power of the contract, the servant would be loyal to the master and would never betray him.
Ben Hong looked pensive. Chen Rui said again, "Moreover, I want one more thing. This thing is likely to be placed with the Book of Creation."
"What is it?"
"One of the seven artifacts of the Devil Realm, the Breeze Shadow Boots!"
"Breeze Shadow Boots?" Ben Hong was a little surprised. "The Seal of Wind is actually in the Brilliance Divinity Hall?"
It was not the first time that Chen Rui heard the term "Seal of Wind". He nodded, "About a hundred years ago, a human cheated the Breeze Shadow Boots from my woman, causing the Belphegor Family to be almost exterminated. I once vowed to help her get it back. So, I hope sir can agree to my request. "
With a common goal and needs, Ben Hong would be more at ease.
"Intuition tells me that your previous words may be a little untrue, but there is no falsehood in these words." Ben Hong smiled, and a contract condensed by soul power appeared in his hand. "I promise you. Anyway, the Breeze Shadow Boots are insignificant to me. Let's sign the master-servant contract now."
Chen Rui looked at the contract, added his soul power on it without hesitation, and signed the name "Chen Rui". Ben Hong was a person who knew his background better. If he used other names, it would arouse suspicion. But in this world, "Chen Rui" was also a pseudonym.
"Your soul power … does feel a little special." After Ben Hong signed his name, the two names on the contract glowed, indicating that it was effective. Then, the contract disappeared.
Similar words were heard when he signed the master-servant contract with the saintess, Udora. Similarly, for Chen Rui, this contract was just a spiritual link that could be easily removed by spending aura.
He knew that Ben Hong had a super sensing talent, far better than Udora. So, before this, just in case, he deliberately used the Evil Eye as a topic. He pointed out that his soul power was special early on, and he passed the test smoothly.
After signing the master-servant contract, the atmosphere between the two sides seemed to be a lot more relaxed. Ben Hong obviously put down most of his vigilance.
"Sir, as far as I know, the Holy Mountain of Light usually opens the teleportation portal every day to let pilgrims enter the Holy Mountain to worship. Later, due to various reasons, it was changed to open every seven days, and the review was stricter. This is Garton City, which belongs to the Yangshao Kingdom. It is extremely far away from the Holy Mountain of Light. We need to go to the Yangshao Kingdom first, then go to the Long Huang Empire from the capital, and then go to the White Cliff where the Holy Mountain of Light is located through the teleportation portal of the Dragon Wing City in the west of the Dragon Emperor Empire. "
Chen Rui's intelligence about the human world was not limited to the understanding of the previous times he came here. It came more from Shura, the clone. He also played a trick here. The fastest route should be the Dragon Tooth City on the eastern border of the Long Huang Empire. The Dragon Tooth City had a teleportation portal that led to the White Cliff. The reason why he said it was the Dragon Wing City in the west was mainly that he wanted to go to the Dragon Emperor's capital, Yerodisha, on the way to understand the situation of Samuel and the Kaint Family.
Even if time was tight, he must first ensure the personal safety of Samuel.
In fact, the culprit of the pilgrimage "reform" was him. The theft of the Snow Tree shocked the upper echelons of the entire church, so the vigilance of the White Cliff was greatly strengthened.
Although Ben Hong's sensing talent was powerful, it was impossible to cover everything. In addition, the shielding power of the Evil Eye and the guarantee of the contract, so he did not doubt it, "Very well, then let's go to the Yangshao Kingdom first. Don't worry, our main purpose is to sneak in. As long as we don't encounter the 3 supreme angels, I have absolute confidence to take you away safely and return to the Demon Realm. "
After speaking, Ben Hong turned into smoke and returned to the six-star mark on Chen Rui's wrist.
Ten days later, Chen Rui appeared on the street of the Dragon Emperor's capital, Yerodisha.
The Long Huang Empire had a very close relationship with the Dragons, and it also had the only real dragon rider legion in the human world. "Yerodisha" meant "shining treasure" in the dragon language.
Yerodisha was one of the most famous human cities. It was also the political, military, and commercial center of the Dragon Soul Empire. It was magnificent and prosperous. Even the Fallen Angel Capital, the top capital of the Demon Realm, which had developed rapidly, was much inferior to Yerodisha.
It was the second time that Chen Rui came to Yerodisha. Looking at the spacious avenue, the tall buildings, and the endless flow of people, the long-lost strange feeling began to reappear in his heart – Arthur, your home is here.
The first thing he did when he came to Yerodisha was to inquire about the opening time of the Dragon Wing City's teleportation circle. This was done for Ben Hong. After inquiring, he found out that the opening time of the Dragon Wing City's teleportation circle was 6 days later, and it only took 4 days to get there.
Now that it was getting late, Chen Rui found a hotel in Yerodisha to stay. While drinking in the tavern in the evening, he heard some major events that had happened recently, including the events of the Kaint Family.
The Kaint Family was once the top business family of the Long Huang Empire. It was involved in many fields. Its huge wealth also made the Kaint Family envious. Especially after the disappearance of the Third Prince Arthur, the ruler of the Jinyao Territory whom it was loyal to, they were repeatedly suppressed and framed by the acting lord, the Second Prince Garfield. They were in a precarious situation.
Until the second son of the Kaint Family, Samuel, appeared out of nowhere. He defeated the top genius swordsman, Paul, married the eldest daughter of the Philip Family, and successfully passed the test of Ryūzoku and became a member of the dragon rider legion. He made a lot of contributions and was deeply appreciated by Rex The Great. Samuel's father, Carlo, was also promoted from the original Deputy Director of Finance to Director and became one of the 5 leaders of the 2 Houses and 3 Divisions. The entire Kaint Family saw the hope of revitalization again.
The trade conference held every 3 years in the human world would begin in 2 months. This year's venue was located in Longwei City, the second largest city in the south of the Long Huang Empire. However, at this moment, 2 major events happened. The first thing was that several major chambers of commerce of the empire jointly accused the Director of Finance, Carlo, of unscrupulously suppressing chambers of commerce everywhere for personal and family interests. There were even a large number of crimes such as murder and robbery. They presented a lot of conclusive evidence and requested Rex The Great to punish them severely.
Seeing that the trade conference was about to be held, such a thing actually happened. In addition, the 2nd Prince Garfield took advantage of the situation to fan the flames. Rex The Great was extremely furious. If it weren't for the protection of the 4th Prince Luke, Carlo would have been beheaded. Currently, Carlo was detained in the No.1 Prison for Serious Criminals.
The second major event was that Samuel, who rushed back after hearing the news, actually intended to assassinate the 2nd Prince Garfield in order to vent his personal anger. He was captured on the spot by the head of the dragon rider legion, Fageris, and locked in the Thunder Prison that imprisoned the strong.
These 2 events almost caused the Kaint Family to suffer a disaster. At present, the important family members had been monitored by the military. Even the closest in-laws, the Philip Family, were forced to draw a line with them. Joanna was forcibly taken back to the family. She ran around in private, trying to save Samuel, but there was no way.
Chen Rui didn't know Carlo's character, but he knew Samuel very well. Samuel was definitely not a brainless fool. He must have fallen into some kind of trap. Judging from the fact that the Dragon Emperor refused Zheng Tai Long Andrew's request on the grounds of not interfering in the internal strife of the royal family, this matter was definitely not simple.
In any case, I have to go to the Thunder Prison tonight.
