Chen Rui completely ignored Garfield's anger and showed an apologetic look to Glalin. "A big tree will have withered branches. Even in the Roland Empire, it is inevitable that there will be such uncultured and rude people. I have made Sir Glalin laugh at us."
"I understand." Glalin naturally sighed in cooperation. "However, Your Highness Garfield, as a prince of the Empire, I think you should really pay attention to your self-cultivation. This is not the attitude an elder brother should have towards his younger brother. Moreover, you are a brother who has only reunited after being separated for many years. I believe that Rex The Great would not want to see you like this."
Seeing the two of them echoing each other, the hatred in Garfield's eyes became even more intense. However, he knew that he must not lose his temper. Otherwise, if the matter were to get out of hand, with Glalin as a 'witness', he would be the one to suffer. He felt extremely aggrieved.
After all, Garfield was not an ordinary person. He quickly calmed down and laughed dryly. "Sir Glalin is right. I have been rude. Third Royal Brother, I will take my leave first. The future is long, and there will be many opportunities for us brothers to get close. You must take care. "
"That's right, Second Royal Brother. I am also looking forward to the day when you regain your majesty." Chen Rui did not seem to understand the threat in Garfield's words. Instead, he said with sincerity.
This fellow really touched my sore spot. The blue veins on Garfield's temples were about to burst. He barely suppressed the rage in his heart. With a cold snort, he left the hall without looking back.
Samuel watched as the Second Prince Garfield, who had repeatedly persecuted him and his family, was angered by Chen Rui to the point that he almost vomited blood and left in anger.
Chen Rui smiled at Samuel and winked. Samuel understood and left the hall to stand guard at the door.
Chen Rui then said to Glalin, "Thank you for speaking up."
"It's nothing. His Royal Highness is too kind." Glalin understood that the other party was doing him a favor on purpose. He said, "Actually, it's very presumptuous of me to come here today …"
"I've already guessed your intentions." Chen Rui smiled. "Let me ask you something first. Is there any conflict between the throne and the Holy Son?"
As soon as this question was raised, Glalin's eyes lit up. "Of course there's no conflict! Whether you want to be the emperor of the Long Huang Empire or the next Pope of the Church, the Church will always be your most solid support. If you want to have both, it's not impossible! "
"Really?" Chen Rui added in his heart, 'Actually, I'm not interested in either', but maintained a smile on his face. "In other words, the Church of Light will support me in my fight for the throne. Even if I fail, I still have the Holy Mountain of Light as a backup plan?"
"That's right."
"Then the other two holy relics …"
"Since we're being honest, I'll be frank." Glalin hesitated for a moment. "The holy relics involve the two Holy Empires. Even if the Church wants to interfere and obtain them, it'll be difficult. Now is the crucial time to unite all the countries to deal with the Black Death Apostles, so it's not good to cause additional conflicts. However, I have an idea. Since Your Highness is the prince of the Long Huang Empire, as long as you inherit the throne, the Holy Light Robe belonging to the Long Huang Empire will be within your reach. As for the Holy Grail … The Princess Rambis of the Rayo Empire is Your Highness' fiancée. Your Highness can obtain some relevant clues from her, and then the Church will resolve it. What do you think, Your Highness? "
These words made Chen Rui think about it seriously. Then, a strange expression appeared on his face. "Why do I feel like I'm firmly tied to the Church?"
"I'm honored, Your Highness." Glalin understood the meaning behind these words and was overjoyed. "In fact, from the moment the Crown of Thorns chose Your Highness, Your Highness has already stood on the same side as the Church."
"Regarding Your Highness' honor, I don't know if I should feel apologetic or glad," Chen Rui shrugged with a double meaning. "However, I can't give you a formal answer now."
"It's fine. I already know Your Highness' ambition and intention. That's enough. Sorry for disturbing you today. I'll visit Your Highness again next time," Glalin, who thought he had made a great contribution, did not pay attention to anything else and left happily.
In the next few days, Chen Rui patiently met with all the visitors, including Samuel's father and Joanna's father. The Fourth Prince Luke visited again, while Princess Fei'Er visited almost every day. It was as if she and Isabella had become close friends.
A few days later, Chen Rui was summoned by Rex The Great again. This time, it was in the main hall of the palace.
Chen Rui had basically met with most of the upper-class nobles. In the main hall, besides Rex The Great who was sitting on the throne, there were two princes, Garfield and Luke, the five heads of the two houses and three departments, and an unfamiliar old man in a long robe with white hair and beard. He looked drowsy and was also sitting. Beside him stood a brown-haired girl with a good figure.
"Your Majesty." Chen Rui bowed to Rex.
Rex in the main hall was completely different from the one in the garden. He looked harsh and indifferent, without any extra emotions. He was faintly emitting the majesty of a king.
"Arthur, last time you told me that your inheritance is from the ancient alchemy civilization?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Rui clearly felt that the seemingly drowsy old man had been secretly looking at him, and he understood a little in his heart.
"This is Grandmaster Kikui, one of the two remaining human mechanic grand masters." Rex raised his hand to the old man, "He is interested in the inheritance you obtained."
Garfield's eyelids moved, and Luke's eyes obviously flashed with a strange light. This was clearly the rhythm of recommending him to be apprenticed. Arthur's training aptitude had always been very weak. Even after seven years of the so-called "inheritance", he only had the strength of a guard-level. He hadn't even reached the master-level. If he could find a mechanic grand master as a backer, whether it was for "Arthur" himself or for the entire Long Huang Empire, the benefits were self-evident.
However, Grandmaster Kikui wasn't the kind of teacher in name only. In this way, "Arthur" was equivalent to embarking on another path. If he wanted to truly learn, it would take at least ten years or even decades. Such a long time was enough for a lot of changes to happen. In short, the distance between "Arthur" and the throne would only get further and further.
Garfield was relieved. No wonder my father, Rex, had never mentioned returning the Jinyao Territory to "Arthur". It turns out that he has this plan.
Chen Rui looked at Grandmaster Kikui, then looked at Rex. He was clear in his heart: From Rex's perspective, this decision is killing two birds with one stone. Not only does it settle down the sudden appearance of "Arthur", but it also won't affect the originally relatively balanced political situation. It also roped in a mechanic grand master.
"Arthur Roland, nice to meet you." Chen Rui performed a seemingly ancient etiquette to Kikui.
The rest of the people didn't understand the meaning of this etiquette. They thought it was some etiquette of the ancient alchemy civilization. Kikui's eyelids moved, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. The girl with short black hair changed her expression and blurted out, "His Royal Highness, do you understand the true meaning of this etiquette!?"
This wasn't an etiquette of the alchemy civilization, but an ancient etiquette of the alchemists. The etiquette that Prince "Arthur" displayed to Grandmaster Kikui was actually a etiquette for "peers" instead of a "teacher"!
Instead of explaining, Chen Rui laughed. Then, he began to look at the girl's hot body unscrupulously.
Under that gaze, the girl felt like she was naked, and her heart was burning with anger. As one of the five direct disciples of Grandmaster Kikui, the newly promoted mechanic master, and the most outstanding new generation mechanic genius, she was a proud woman wherever she went. Today, she was actually humiliated by this ignorant and incompetent prince!
If this wasn't the palace of the Long Huang Empire, the girl would have already lost her temper.
"Tsk tsk tsk … What a pity." Chen Rui shook his head with a regretful expression, "What a pity."
"Arthur, don't be rude!" Rex The Great noticed that something was wrong, "This is Grandmaster Kikui's direct disciple, the most famous mechanic genius in the human world, Master Pelushi. Quickly apologize to Master Pelushi."
"Master? What a pity. "Chen Rui still shook his head," Ms. Pelushi should be proficient in tools. There are thick calluses on the side of your left thumb and the second knuckle of your middle finger. It means that you like to use tools like a small grinding awl. Together with the button drill and spiral needle knife operated by your right hand, you can enchant them using the spirit rune array method. This is a difficult enchantment technique. The effect is about 20 to 30% higher than direct 'enchantment'. However, the requirement for spirit control is very high. You must multitask, and it's easy to have intertwined mageweaths, which affects the overall effect. Your spirit level is enough, but the purity seems to be lacking, so the failure rate is very high. On the back of your hand are the impact spots caused by the failure of enchantment. Even with medicine, it will take about a month for these spots to fade. I can see from the spots on the back of your hand that you have encountered at least 3 failed enchantments 10 days ago, but you should have succeeded in the end … "
Chen Rui's eyes fell on Pelushi's ears again, "If I guessed correctly, your work … should be the pair of quasi-legendary grade earrings made with red glass, purple coral, star powder, glazed sand, mithril, and blue fragrance. It increases spirit concentration by 43%, spirit sensitivity by 30%, physical strength and spirit recovery speed by 35%. This item can improve the success rate of your spirit rune array enchantment, but unfortunately … "
Pelushi was completely shocked. This rude person who I thought was "ignorant and incompetent" actually saw the characteristics of my mechanic skills just from a pair of hands. What was even more unbelievable was that the earrings she was wearing now, whether it was the manufacturing time, the number of failures, the equipment attributes, or even every material used, they were all accurately stated by him!
What kind of talent is this? No, it's no longer an ordinary talent. To be more precise, it's attainments!
With extraordinary attainments in mechanics, Prince "Arthur" must also be a genius in mechanics. He might even be better than me!
"Unfortunately what?" The one who answered was Pelushi's teacher, Grandmaster Kikui. His originally lazy eyes had a rare seriousness.
