Chapter Twenty-Six: Reiki and the Abandoned Mine of the Blacksmith's Shop
After Chen Rui came to the Demon Realm, he spent most of his time in the laboratory, because he was used to staying at home in his previous life, he didn't feel very uncomfortable, but now because of his aura, he really moved the idea of shopping for Taobao.
Aldas didn't care about this, and waved his hand, signaling him to be casual. Humans are special apprentices anyway, so it's better to stay and eat poison as a tonic.
Chen Rui thought about it for a while, and brought Si Li, who was familiar with the environment in the city. In the past, I used to go out twice as a little princess or Athena's attendant, but now it is the first time I have taken my attendant shopping. Walking down the streets, human beings without any attire suddenly became the focus of attention.
Along the way, many demons pointed and discussed, most of which were related to the challenge of the last arena. His performance in the Master Challenge more or less made Chen Rui recognized by a small number of demons, but most of them still showed a certain degree of wariness and hostility towards humans.
"Hey, human, your meat looks good. Finally, an ugly-looking demon couldn't hold back, blocked the way and launched a provocation.
"Hmph, something that doesn't have eyes," Chen Rui is no longer the weak human he used to be, his eyes quickly glanced at the onlookers, and he was not frightened, and sneered calmly: "To tell you a fact, after the last challenge, my body has mutated, and my flesh and blood are full of toxins. If you want to be poisoned, you might as well try it. But before you do that, try the poison I gave you. ”
As he spoke, the fingers in the robe flicked, and a pinch of medicinal powder flew out, his liliang was no longer what it used to be, and the strength of this bullet was like a machine sending out. The demon was covered by the medicinal powder, and immediately felt that it was itchy all over his body, and he scratched desperately, and soon, he was scratched by himself and rolled in the ground, but he couldn't contain the itchy feeling.
"Do you still want to eat my meat?" Chen Rui asked deliberately, and this guy shook his head desperately.
"Want to detoxify?"
The demon clan nodded hurriedly, Chen Rui waved his hand, and some liquid fell on his body, the guy felt that the itch was gradually disappearing, and he was about to take revenge, but his body suddenly became soft and had no strength, and then the itchy feeling was replaced by pain, as if every inch of muscle was being torn apart, and he immediately howled miserably.
"Anyone who dares to offend the Aldas Lab will have to pay the price!" Chen Rui deliberately showed a weird smile, and then said loudly: "The eldest princess issued an order not long ago, I am already a part of Dark Moon City, this guy deliberately came to provoke, that is, to despise the eldest princess and Master Aldas! I prefer to listen to this beautiful scream than poisoning him, just let him call for two days and two nights, next time if he dares to provoke me, he won't even have any bones left!"
Two days and two nights! Onlookers looked at the unlucky guy's miserable howl, all of them palpitated, and a few guys who were originally eager to try it suddenly dispelled their thoughts, it seems that this human being is more vicious than ordinary demons, worthy of the Aldas laboratory.
After the last Master Challenge, the heroic deeds of Sandru being poisoned by the Dark Elf Master have been widely spread in the Dark Moon Territory. Even more exaggerated, they claim to have witnessed Master Aldas poison a dragon with some kind of gas from the back of his hips.
Contrary to the feeling of Aldas himself being self-conscious, the Dark Elf Master's awe in the hearts of everyone has risen to a new level.
Chen Rui's methods and wording for poisoning had been prepared for a long time, and he had deliberately obtained a few poisons from Aldas. This trick really had an obvious effect, and under the propaganda of the living advertisement, the image of the human apprentice who was full of poison and insidious and ruthless was quickly spread. Along the way, no more demons came up to ask about the taste of human flesh, and Chen Rui became more and more natural in various eyes.
Seeing that the master was threatening to deter the demon clan, the little bad demon felt that he had face, and while walking, he introduced the situation of Dark Moon City to him.
There used to be seven royal families in the Demon Realm, and in the battle, only the three royal families of Lucifer, Mammon and Asmodeus remained, and the rest either disappeared or submitted to the strong to preserve their bloodline.
The Darkmoon Territory was originally one of the most prosperous territories of the Fallen Angel Empire, but four hundred years ago, the Beelzebub royal family, which had disappeared for many years, suddenly reappeared in Darkmoon City, led by a strong man named Grofen Beelzebub. Armed with the Beelzebub clan's artifact "God Devouring Mask", Liliang was strong, openly killed the Darkmoon Lord and several powerhouses, quickly controlled the entire Darkmoon Territory, and began to encroach on the nearby Red Shadow Territory, and then subverted the entire Fallen Angel Empire. ,
White Night, Lucifer the Great led a large army to conquer the Dark Moon, killed in the Dark Moon City, armed with the Lucifer clan's artifact Fallen Angel Sword, and singled out Grophon in the arena, and the badly injured Grophon used the power of the artifact to escape, and then disappeared, and the rebellion was quelled.
After this war, the territory of the Dark Moon is no longer prosperous, after the death of the White Night Emperor, the regent Obsidian drove his nephew Green, who was originally going to inherit the throne, to the Dark Moon as the lord, and used many means to monitor and control, making the Dark Moon more and more decaying, although the eldest princess Xia inherited the throne of the lord, she worked hard to rectify and reform, but she has never been able to fundamentally get rid of barrenness and decay.
Joseph Alwyn, the treasurer of Darkmoon City, is the eldest son of the Red Shadow Lord Zhuoche, on the surface, the Alvin family has a lot of funding for the Darkmoon Territory, but this kind of funding is only on the surface, in fact, it is to control the economic lifeline of Darkmoon, and now the only chamber of commerce and half of the shops in Darkmoon City are in Joseph's hands, even if it is Darkmoon's food supply, most of it comes from the support of the Alvin family. It is clear that this is Obsidian's insidious ploy to use the Alvin family to control the Darkmoon territory.
In terms of military affairs, although Athena, the daughter of the first general George Wells, is in the Dark Moon, the territory guard army is in the hands of Allen of the Caron family, who originally supported Prince Green, and later fell to the Obsidian Regent, and the real military force belonging to Xia is the palace guard led by Kagulon.
This was the mess left by Prince Green, but it was also forced by the situation at the time, so that the two most important things, the economy and the military, were in the hands of others, and Xia is still unable to do anything about it.
Athena didn't explain many things clearly, but Chen Rui didn't understand until now that Xia Ya's situation was worse than he imagined. He suddenly understood the reason why Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was cold and strong, maybe only in this way could he support the burden left by his father.
There are many burdens in life, which are not what you want to shoulder, but you have to shoulder.
If the White Night Emperor was still there, if Green could ascend the throne at the beginning, the once gentle sister in the eyes of the little princess would not need to wear that cold mask. It's just that the mask may have become a part of her now, and she may never be able to take it off again.
Chen Rui retracted his thoughts and asked the little bad demon, "Sli, is there a shop in the city that sells those strange things, such as some special materials or ores?"
"Strange shop...... Sly looked thoughtful, his eyes suddenly lit up, "There seems to be such a shop, but that shop ...... If the owner just wants to see the ore, there should be one in the blacksmith shop in front. ”
"Okay, let's go to the blacksmith shop first. ”
This is one of the only two blacksmith shops in the city, and the name is a bit scary, called "Guilloted", which is very demonic. The owner of the blacksmith shop is a strong horned demon, and the three men in the shop who are striking iron are also horned demons, and there is also a small devil who acts as a handyman.
The strength of the Horned Demon is famous among the demons, and in addition to exerting great power in battle, some of the Horned Demons can also become skilled blacksmiths.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, the little bad demon who could speak well immediately greeted him, and when he saw Chen Rui's appearance, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Human ...... You're the human in the arena!"
The Master Challenge has always been a hot topic in the Darkmoon Territory, so Chen Rui was immediately recognized.
Seeing the surprised look of his fellow clan, Sili felt a little proud in his heart, and introduced, "This is my master, Lord Chen Rui, the apprentice of Master Aldas. ”
"You're a servant of the human race?" the little devil was even more surprised, and then looked disdainful. The demon clan admires liliang, this human race has heard that there is no liliang, and the strength is weaker than the little inferior demon at the bottom of the demon race, I can't imagine that this fool of the same race actually thinks that human beings are the master! If you can become a servant recognized by Master Aldas, then it is worth showing off.
"Kakan, what are you talking about!" The Horned Demon Boss walked out, looked at Chen Rui a few times, and said contemptuously, "Weak human, what are you doing at Zack's blacksmith shop, there is no herb you want here!"
Last night's battle had built up Chen Rui's strong confidence, and he naturally didn't care about the contempt for these guys, and said, "I was instructed by Master Al to select some special ores to refine the poison, so I came here. ”,
The name of Master Fart King is really useful, although Zack doesn't understand what the connection between ore and poison will be, he still doesn't dare to slack off, and immediately takes Chen Rui to the place where the ore is stacked.
Since the Eye of Analysis does not play a role in this selection, Chen Rui opened the skill of "Aura Conversion", using the method of touch to select one by one, and the Aura Conversion consumes 1 aura each time, and the time limit is half an hour.
Chen Rui chose for a long time, but he didn't get anything, and when Zack was looking impatiently, he suddenly saw a different color on the face of the human being, grabbed a piece of ore with pitted crystals on it, and asked, "What kind of ore is this?"
When Zach saw it, he showed disapproval: "This is almost a half-waste ore, because those dark yellow crystals are very troublesome, and it takes a lot of effort to get rid of them, and the residue that is not cleaned will affect the purity of iron in refining." ”
Chen Rui's heart moved, just now when he touched the ore, the corresponding prompt appeared in the conversion skill, but he didn't know what the effect was.
He came up with an idea and said, "I'll do a little experiment first to determine if this strange crystal is something that the master needs." If there is any damage, I can compensate you. ”
Zach nodded, the ore was semi-scrap anyway.
Chen Rui took out some powder, sprinkled it on the crystal, and then put his hand on it. Zach only saw that the crystal slowly disappeared, and Zuihou turned into a puddle of powder, and the ore was not damaged at all, and his eyes almost bulged out: the stubborn crystals that were usually difficult to peel off with strong knocks were so easily dealt with by humans?
In Zack's eyes, the abilities of pharmacists are becoming more and more mysterious, even an apprentice has such a strange ability!
The powder Chen Rui used was actually a trick to blind the eyes, what really worked was the aura conversion skill, and what made him ecstatic was that what could really be transformed was not the ore, but these crystals that were regarded as waste, which actually provided 25 points of aura!
