There was no problem with potions and forging. The Dragon Forge that Chu Rui had obtained back then included many recipes for weapons, equipment, and pills. Unfortunately, there was no main material. He needed dragon teeth, dragon armor, dragon scales, dragon tendons, dragon blood, and even dragon balls and dragon eyes. Who had these products from dragons? Back when he fought with Hei Yun, Chu Rui had thought that he could make a fortune. Unfortunately, Hei Yun and the Deep-sea Water Dragon were absorbed by the purple dragon's energy at the same time and fused into his pet, the Purple-horned Twin-Headed Dragon. There was no dragon body material that Chu Rui had expected.
If he wanted to forge wings now, the only thing missing was to advance from an Intermediate Tailor to an Advanced Tailor. The proficiency required to do that was enough to make anyone go crazy. However, the good thing was that after advancing from an Advanced Tailor to a Master and from a Master to a Grandmaster, proficiency was not the most important factor. A certain level of comprehension was required to advance. Therefore, Chu Rui did not have to worry about not being able to advance. All that was required was time and materials.
Glancing at the Wings of Wind forging blueprint in his life profession recipe, Chu Rui gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go into seclusion. He would not come out until he broke through to an Advanced Tailor.
Just as Chu Rui made up his mind to buy materials to break through, someone suddenly appeared beside him.
Turning around, Chu Rui was instantly dumbfounded. This person was none other than the prince that he had met in Tajia City as a guest city lord — Long Mo!
"Brother Sly Hand, I didn't expect you to come to Divine Dragon City so quickly. I'm really surprised!"
This time, Long Mo did not put on airs in front of Chu Rui. That 'I' made his status clear. He placed Chu Rui on the same level.
"Long Mo? How did you know I was here? "
Rui was very surprised, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the other party was a prince. In this small place, how could he possibly hide anything from him?
"Brother Sly Hand, you are now a very famous figure in the Imperial Dynasty. Even during the court meeting, the Emperor mentioned you many times!" Long Mo smiled and did not answer Chu Rui's question. He knew that Chu Rui would not know how he knew that he had come to the imperial city.
"One wouldn't visit a temple for no reason. Could it be that Brother Long Mo has come to find me for something?" Chu Rui didn't like to beat around the bush. Originally, he would still be polite to him, but seeing that he was so easy-going, if he were to be polite, the gap between them might widen. In this way, it would not be beautiful. If that was the case, he would get straight to the point. He was very busy now.
"Of course. Father knows that Brother Sly Hands has come to the capital and wants to see you!" Long Mo blinked and gave Chu Rui a 'you know what I mean' look!
The Emperor wants to see me?
Chu Rui was stunned! After considering for less than a second, he immediately agreed! It was not common for the f * cking Emperor to take the initiative to summon him. In the City Lord's Mansion, unless one had a mission or status, there was no way in, let alone a door! The City Lord was already such a big shot, let alone the Emperor. Now that he took the initiative to look for him, it must be something good. There might even be some hidden mission. Last time, as the first player to go to the city, he was first on the four leaderboards and received the 'Dragon Leap Through the Nine Heavens' mission. Later on, the mission developed to the Monastery of the Gods. Not only did it allow Chu Rui to obtain the hidden profession of Phantom Thief, but he also received the Wings of Abstinence. Later on, he participated in the Blue Dragon City defense battle and held back the Baleful Yin Demon Monarch. When the Blue Dragon destroyed this child, he received an indescribably rich reward. Other things aside, the Wind God's Boots, Baleful Yin Demon Armor, Blue Dragon's Scales, and the skill Blue Dragon's Power. These rewards were so rich that it angered even the heavens.
The palace was a huge treasure trove. Not only were there many treasures in it, but there were also many missions. Now that he had an official position and the identity of a high-level Demon Hunter, he was definitely indescribably powerful. Connecting with the palace was equivalent to using it as a treasure trove in the future!
Seeing that Chu Rui did not object, Long Mo heaved a sigh of relief. One had to know that he could not force Chu Rui, who was a player. If Chu Rui did not want to go, even if his father, the Emperor, came, it would be useless, let alone him, a prince. Before coming, he had made a promise to his father. If Chu Rui did not go, then not only would he break his promise to his father, but he would also be hit when he was down by the other princes. That would be a tragedy.
Chu Rui, who had already finished his business in the imperial city, did not waste any time. He chatted with Long Mo as they headed toward the palace.
As the imperial city of Huaxia, they naturally studied buildings like the Forbidden City. Even though it was set in the Western fantasy world, it still had to have local characteristics.
It was dazzling and majestic … The area that the palace occupied was really terrifying. It was definitely more than a hundred times larger than the Forbidden City in reality. Just that door alone was at least a hundred meters tall and was extremely ferocious. Fortunately, this was the game world. If it were the real world, how many people would it take to open such a huge gold-plated iron door?
After entering the palace, Chu Rui did not make a fuss about this extremely luxurious palace and environment like a country bumpkin. Instead, he had a calm expression. This was not an act. He had indeed never seen such a beautiful palace before. However, when he was an assassin, he had been to all the super luxurious residences of the rich. There were antiques, modern high-tech, and even those strange things such as a vampire's castle. After seeing so many of them, he was more immune to them.
However, Chu Rui's calmness made Long Mo sigh in admiration. His admiration for him increased by another level.
The main hall of the palace was not like a maze with so many twists and turns like the harem. After entering the main door, they went straight ahead. After crossing the jade bridge, walking past the flower pond, the main hall, the square, and the jade steps, they arrived at the main hall, which was the legendary throne room.
Stepping into the throne room, it was indeed extravagant to the extreme. Several huge pillars were carved with lifelike five-clawed golden dragons, and the entire hall looked dazzling and magnificent. The civil and military officials were divided into two rows on one side, and right above them was the high and mighty Emperor, the Son of Heaven! From Chu Rui's perspective, the Emperor really seemed to be unattainable. It was as if he was sitting in the sky like a god. This was the aura of the throne room. If a timid person came, their legs might tremble.
Who was Chu Rui? How could he be frightened by this? Following Long Mo, he did not care about the strange and curious gazes of the civil and military officials in the imperial court. He held his head high and puffed out his chest without the slightest bit of fear.
"Father, I have summoned Brave Warrior Sly Hand!"
Long Mo bowed slightly and said to the Emperor. Then, he retreated to the side and stood there.
"This commoner, Sly Hand, greets His Majesty the Emperor!"
Chu Rui cupped his fists and greeted. He had no intention of kneeling. A man would kneel to the heavens, the earth, and his parents. How could he kneel to others? So what if he was the Emperor? He was just an NPC in the virtual world!
