Two days later, two two-legged wyverns flew up from above the rainy jungle, and Athena on Keku's body looked in good spirits, and the effects of the Devil Fruit had been completely absorbed by her.

This kind of precious fruit that can cause war really lives up to its name, Athena's strength was originally the first stage of the high-level demon, and it was promoted to the middle stage all of a sudden, this is only a superficial role, and more importantly, the invisible potential index, in the future, the possibility of her breaking through the bottleneck of the high-level demon and reaching the demon king level has greatly increased, and even the further realm of the great demon king and the demon emperor is no longer an untouchable utopia.

With the example of Didiu, under Chen Rui's strong insistence, Athena took another fruit, and the result only made Liliang more stable, and the rare chance of additional abilities still did not appear, but this ability was not necessarily immediate, and it was likely to be obtained in the years of cultivation in the future.

As for Didiu's mutation, it is not only the effect of the Devil Fruit, but it is also likely to be related to the devouring of dragon flesh.

Chen Rui himself secretly ate a Devil Fruit, but Liliang didn't grow at all, he only grew a little aura because of the toxicity, which was very cost-effective. However, there is the magical Dongdong of the Star Garden, and after two months, it can be harvested again. In the future, it is not impossible to learn to eat it as a snack like Didi.

In the past two days, he didn't waste time, he spent it in the training ground, and there were only more than 90,000 of the 130,000 spiritual qi left. Athena got his orders and didn't interfere with his "slumber", plus the protection of Diudius, including Athena's later taking the Devil Fruit, everything went well.

Like the straw that broke the camel's back, eight times the gravity is really not comparable to the limit represented by the four times gravity, even if it breaks through to the evil realm, without any star power, it is still difficult, and in the first ten days, I don't know how much suffering I have suffered. When he finished training and saw Athena sleeping like a quiet baby after taking the Devil Fruit, he felt that there was another liliang on his body, and after hurriedly eating and resting, he threw himself into masochistic training again.

Chen Rui had taken two black potions, Eternal Power and Eternal Speed, but the medicinal power was not completely absorbed at that time, and in this high-pressure cultivation, the medicinal effects accumulated in his body were finally fully exerted.

Di Di had always been obsessed with the Devil Fruit, but since he tasted the barbecue made by Chen Rui, he began to change his taste, and he was even more desperate for this master. Athena was still hanging the devil fruit tree, but Chen Rui told her that he had managed to hide it, and Athena was relieved.

The two-legged wyvern set off from the rainy jungle and finally reached their destination in the Xilang Mountains in a day and a half.

In the rolling Xilang Mountains, there are many lofty mountains, deep valleys and dangerous ravines, and the area is vast, and you can reach the town of Leia, which borders the Shadow Empire, all the way to the west. Xilang Mountain is the largest mountain in the Xilang Mountains, but Xilang Mountain has been controlled by thieves, and the current mining office is set up at the foot of the remote Lugang Mountain.

When Chen Rui and Athena fell to the ground on two bipedal flying dragons according to the marks of the magic map, the guards and miners at the gate of the mine were all startled.

Because the original mine was occupied by thieves, the current mine is actually a temporary simple stone house, alarmed by the two-legged dragon, a leader who came out of the stone house looked like a horned demon, with a few hideous scars on his face, holding a cane, when he saw Athena jumping down from the back of the dragon, his eyes gradually showed surprise, greeted him, and saluted: "You are ...... Miss Athena!"

"Who are you?" Athena felt that the limping horned demon was a little familiar, and she couldn't remember what it was called for a moment.

The Horned Demon looked a little excited: "I'm Gad, I used to follow General George in the Vallock Fortress, but I was transferred here four years ago because I was injured in the conflict with the Bloody Empire. ”

Athena finally remembered and said in surprise: "You remember! You are the Death Hammer Gade! You also gave me an iron sword!"

"It's rare that Miss still remembers me," Gade sighed, looking at Yang's already lost arm and disabled left leg, "It's a pity that I'm no longer the Death Hammer, but the general is sympathetic to his subordinates and asked me to come to Dark Moon to take up an idle job...... Let's not talk about this, I heard that Miss Athena came to Darkmoon City three years ago, but unfortunately I haven't been able to pull away from this side, I don't know what happened to Miss Coming to the mine today?",

"Didn't you receive a magic message from Darkmoon City? It stands to reason that the magic message has been sent out since the eldest princess was officially appointed. Athena looked puzzled.

Gad shook his head and replied, "The communication desk here has long been damaged by thieves and has not been able to be repaired. ”

Magic communication is actually equivalent to a kind of wireless communication using messengers, and a special magic communication station is required to transmit information in the middle, which is equivalent to Chen Rui's previous Shijie's "base station", if the transmission station is destroyed, the magic communication charms within the range cannot be used.

The magic station of each line must be set up separately, some private, some shared, for example, from the imperial capital to each territory, there is a dedicated magic communication station, and the "base station" along the way is also protected by special personnel.

"I see," Athena pointed at Chen Rui, "this time I was ordered by His Highness Xia to protect your new mine officer. ”

This sentence made the eyes of everyone present fall on the human who thought it was Miss Athena's "entourage", although the news was incomprehensible, the challenge of Master Aldas to defeat the genius of the Imperial Capital had spread to every corner of the Dark Moon, even in a remote area like Xilang Mountain. This should be the master's human apprentice, but how did a mere apprentice become the top boss of everyone somehow?

Chen Rui was no longer what it used to be, calmly in all kinds of eyes, and took out a magic commission signed by Xia himself. While everyone was paying attention to him, Chen Rui was also observing these "soldiers" under his command, the guards were about a dozen people, they were composed of horned demons and dark elves, there were not many miners present, they were all small inferior demons and dark goblins, and most of the demons present had a common characteristic, that is, they looked sluggish and listless.

Gade took the letter of appointment and looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed, with his eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the real from the fake.

The Horned Demon glanced at Athena, and there was no doubt in his heart, so he immediately bowed to Chen Rui and said, "The captain of the mine guard, Gade, has seen the mine officer. ”

The guards and miners were all surprised to see Gade saluting, it seemed that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had really appointed this weak human as the mine officer!

Like many people, Gad was very unimpressed with this appointment, how could a human without liliang be worthy of leading everyone, but because of Athena's face, it was inconvenient to say more, so he made a gesture of invitation: "Please come inside and talk, Connor, go get something to eat......!" Do what you have to do!"

Chen Rui and Athena followed Gade into the stone house, which had very simple facilities, just two stone tables and a few chairs, and a bed in the back.

"I'm sorry, Miss, the conditions here are very difficult, there is nothing to entertain, let's eat casually later," Gade asked the two of them to sit down and asked Athena, "Miss, when are you going back to Darkmoon City?"

Athena shook her head: "I was ordered by the eldest princess to protect Chen Rui here until his work is over or he is transferred." ”

Gade was slightly shocked, and then nodded with a complicated expression.

Chen Rui looked at it, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Gade, we just came here, can you give us a general introduction here?"

Gad hesitated for a moment, then began to speak.

Xilang Mountain is extremely rich in mineral deposits, and the mine has a long history, and has always been the largest and most important resource of Dark Moon. After the Beelzebub royal turmoil that occurred in the Dark Moon four hundred years ago, the prosperous Dark Moon began to fall into ruin, and many changes occurred in the mine, and the underground creatures that had been sealed suddenly broke the barrier and occupied the lower layer of the main pit, which was equivalent to controlling the largest ore vein area, making mining much more difficult, and often life-threatening.

More than a year ago, a powerful gang of Red Devil thieves appeared, not only robbing and killing the caravan sent by the eldest princess Thea, but also harassing the mine from time to time, and also sending a team to occupy the main pit and several newly opened small mines, and also killed the miners who went to the mine.

Now the miners, led by Gade, can only defend against thieves while mining some cheap open pit ore, which is less dangerous, but the profit and yield are extremely low. The eldest princess once sent Sheriff Alan to exterminate the thieves because of the caravan, but she was defeated by the thieves twice.

When Athena heard that the situation in the mine was so bad, much worse than what she had learned from Shia, she frowned and said, "Weishenme doesn't report to Darkmoon City?",

"We've reported it countless times," Ged sighed, "but even the army sent by Darkmoon City has failed, what else can be done?" If it weren't for the young lady's arrival today, I would have thought that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess would have given up on us. ”

Chen Rui knew that the direct supervisor of the mine was the financial officer, who was Joseph, so it was "reasonable" that the information that reached Xiya's ears was limited, and he asked a key question at the moment: "What happened to the previous mining officer?"

The last mine officer was Tim of the Sevher family, and Gad spoke highly of this Tim, and his words faintly revealed his contempt for Chen Rui. After Tim came to the mine, he made a series of rectification measures, which was quite prestigious. At that time, the main scourge of the mine was the underground creatures, Tim took a group of people, and when he went down to the main mine to investigate the situation, everyone suddenly disappeared, and even the body could not be found, and it was estimated that he was buried in the mouth of the monster.

Chen Rui calculated the time, when Tim was there, Xia had not yet sent a caravan to the west, so at most it was only sporadic thieves, and as soon as the caravan was dispatched, a powerful gang of thieves appeared accordingly, which was obviously targeted. After cutting off the westbound trade route, he shifted the target of control to the mines, and it seemed that he was going to tighten Dark Moon's neck step by step until he completely lost his breath.

The reason why they left a way to live for Gad was not the kindness of the thieves, but that they had not yet reached that moment of zuihou, and they didn't want to attract more attention from Xia Ya, once a certain time came, Chen Rui could imagine that the black hands everywhere would kill at the same time, but he was afraid that Xia had the talent to reach the sky, and he could only sit back and wait, which was a rather careful and vicious plan.

I came this time, and there is a task assigned by Master Aldas," Chen Rui thought for a moment and said the most important purpose of this trip, "Master is now shiyan a strange potion, you need the crystal powder on the waste mine, can you take me to see it?"

"Waste ore, crystal powder?" Gade frowned and thought for a moment, and then reacted: "You're talking about something attached to the iron ore, that crystal is very troublesome, and it's difficult to get rid of it, let alone make it into powder." Moreover, this kind of crystalline waste ore is only found in the main pit of Xilang Mountain, and it is now under the control of the thieves. ”

Chen Rui asked again without giving up: "Where are those waste mines in the past?"

Ged replied: "The waste ore is piled up in the waste room, which is somewhere on the upper level of the main pit, and now there is so little ore that several people have stolen the waste ore and brought it back to the city, but then the thieves noticed it and were killed. ”

Chen Rui frowned, he had heard Zach mention this, but he didn't expect the real situation to be even worse, the waste mines converted in the blacksmith shop in Dark Moon City, every piece was stained with the blood of the miners!

PS: I was angry that the power department of a certain city in Hunan Province had left the ground! At 9 o'clock in the morning, there was another power outage, and it was this district again! I called and said that this area was overloaded and the equipment was burned, Nima! Now there is no snow and no ice, why did I go earlier? This kind of problem is caused by the Chinese New Year, and there are more residents in other districts than here, and there has never been a power outage!

I removed the hard drive of the main engine and installed it on a friend's machine to send this chapter, and I can still use someone else's computer to send the chapter, but what about the code words? Internet café kind of place, not suitable for writing at all.

Tomorrow on the shelves, ask for support!
