Chapter 175: Sincerity
Joseph was even more vigilant in his heart, although he retained his strength in the tentative exchange just now, but this "Agulie" also did not use the natural abilities and artifacts of the Beelzebub clan, once he tore his face and moved, he was afraid that he would really not be able to leave the other party.
Most of the royal family has strange inheritance powers, for example, most of Xia's liliang is inherited from his father Grin Taizi, this Agulie can have the mask of devouring gods, and must be the controller or heir of the Beelzebub royal family. Xia is just a down-and-out eldest princess, and although the Beelzebub royal family has disappeared, the foundation accumulated over thousands of years is much deeper, and "Agulie" is definitely not simple from the middle level at the beginning to the current demon king level. The seal is likely to unlock the key to the inheritance of Liliang step by step, so the real strength of this person is likely to be the Great Demon King or even the Demon Emperor!
What's more, the Beelzebub royal family has made a comeback after 400 years of silence, and it is by no means more than that! Is it necessary to repeat the great changes of 400 years ago? In this way, there are many problems to consider.
Joseph kept a smile on his face, but his eyes were cloudy and cloudy, and there was not the slightest smile.
If Chen Rui knew Joseph's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud: You really guessed wrong, my brother is a person.
"The God-Eater Mask really lives up to its name, although it is only the tip of the iceberg, but it is enough for me to realize the power of the artifact. Joseph took an elegant sip of wine: "I'm very strange, how could the greedy royal family, one of the seven royal clans of the Demon Realm, think of cooperating with me, a small financial officer?"
"I'm here tonight, and I did come with sincerity (coming here tonight, it's purely a teleportation to win the prize, sincerity you sister). Those words were not perfunctory, and I did crave a woman, but a woman was only a tool for me to satisfy some kind of pleasure. What my Beelzebub clan really wants is the entire Dark Moon, and this desire can be further expanded to the entire Fallen Angel Empire. β
Chen Rui let out a low laugh: "The source of Dark Moon's food and the passage to the west are all under your Chi You's control, compared to those little tricks of human trafficking in the Blue Melt Territory, Red Moon is the real controller of Dark Moon. So, I decided to work with you. β
"It seems that Your Excellency knows quite well about the situation of the Dark Moon, and perhaps even the eldest princess Xia does not know as much as you. Joseph looked curious, "Weishenme, will you choose me over my more capable brother Kanita?"
"The hidden strength of the Beelzebub clan is stronger than you think. Not only Dark Moon, even Chi You, I also know a lot of information, such as the recent failure of the Scarlet Guardian Regiment in Leia Town, Snood's trip to Xilang Mountain, and other trivial matters", Chen Rui continued to pull the tiger skin and pull the banner: "To be honest, I am not optimistic that you can bring down Kanita, even if you bring down your brother, or Kanita can bring down you, it may not be able to bring down your father." Don't tell me that Lord Droche is dying of old age and that it's time to take over power. Your father is playing nothing more than a game of equalization, and I believe you know that better than I do. If you have the support of Liliang of my Beelzebub clan, you can become the protagonist of this game, instead of a toy ......",
Joseph heard Chen Rui mention the latest information about Chiyou, and even Snod's movements, and his suspicions finally began to loosen, and Zuihou's sentence was especially to the point.
Joseph was scheming, and although he was moved, he would not easily believe this empty promise: "Your Excellency, what you said is indeed good, but judging from today's experience, it seems that you came here to avoid trouble, not for the so-called sincerity. As the sheriff of the Dark Moon, I have the duty and obligation to speak you to your lordship, Princess Thea. β
"Yes, I did sneak into the palace to steal artifact fragments, and as a result, I was hunted down by Xia, and her strength is one level higher than that of you and me. It's a pity that she couldn't kill me with all her might, and she also restored me to a complete artifact, and I believe that even my identity as the leader of the Cloak Society was not revealed. Chen Rui shook his head, his voice revealing strong confidence, "This is enough to confirm my personal ability...... If you are serious in your words, then I feel sorry for you, you gave up a real shortcut, while also adding an enemy that was supposed to be your biggest ally. β
"Your Excellency Agulie is so sure that you will achieve your goal?" Joseph asked with a frown, if Xia didn't detect Agure's identity, then lurking around Xia as the head of the Praetorian Guard's reserve would definitely be a killer move. ,
"The current Fallen Angel Empire is no longer the Fallen Angel Empire of four hundred years, the biggest enemy of our Beelzebub clan is no longer the Great White Night, do you still remember the King of Beelzebub who fought fiercely with the White Night four hundred years ago?
"Grofen Beelzebub?" Joseph was secretly shocked in his heart, Grofen did not die in the hands of Bai Ye back then, four hundred years of tempering and lurking, to say that he could compete with Lei Chan, I am afraid it is not a lie.
Where did Joseph think that these were all Chen Rui's nonsense, Grofen had already lost his body underground, and now his soul was devoured by Chen Rui, which could be described as ashes, how could he have any strength to fight against Lei Chan.
"There are 400-year-old teaching coins", this time we will activate the pre-Jihua will be more perfect. If it weren't for the fact that the artifact was too important this time, it wouldn't have been easily revealed, but now that the artifact is in hand, many plans have begun to be launched, and even if the identity is exposed, it will be worth it...... That's all there is to this conversation, you know enough. As he spoke, Chen Rui stood up and made a gesture of preparing to turn his face, but he was secretly beating a drum in his heart.
"Wait, if our relationship is changed to a partnership, can we continue?" said Joseph, who groaned slightly, and stood up.
"Keep it simple, in a word. The Red Shade is yours, I want the Dark Moon and the Blue Melt, and once we start to fully mobilize, you must be the first to respond publicly in the Red Shade. Chen Rui glanced at Joseph: "If you agree, we are allies, I believe you have been thinking about it for a long time just now, and I want to hear your choice now." β
Although Chen Rui's words were a bit strong, they were more credible in Joseph's ears, after all, behind them was the Demon Emperor. From the words of "Agulie Beelzebub", it can be heard that the Beelzebub royal family has gone through hundreds of years of planning this time, and if it does not move, it will be turned upside down.
Before that, he could use Beelzebub's Liliang to defeat his younger brother Kanita and his father Zhuoche, and fulfill his long-cherished wish, whether to choose to really belong or stab his allies in the back, and the initiative was completely in the hands of him, the new Red Shadow Lord.
Joseph's idea was good, but unfortunately, even the name "Agurebeelzebub" was a parallel import, which consumed a lot of thinking brain cells in vain.
"My friend, Joseph Alvin is willing to offer you a sincere friendship. Joseph raised his glass to show his attitude.
"Very well, Agurebeelzebub is willing to accept and give his friendship. Chen Rui also symbolically raised his cup, "As a friend, I have a personal request, don't touch the eldest princess for the time being, I want to do it myself, of course, I won't interfere with your hobbies." β
"We'll all get what we want, my friend. Joseph smiled ambiguously, "Don't forget the saying of our demon world, the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is."
But there is another saying, the stronger the wine, the more fragrant. Chen Rui also said, and the two of them got up at the same time, perhaps sneering in their hearts at the same time.
Chen Rui successfully bent the wolf this time, and the most important thing was to take advantage of the situation that was originally unfavorable to him (such as Xia's misunderstanding and pursuit) into an advantage to win Joseph's trust, but to further trap this wolf, it also needs appropriate sweetness.
At this time, Royce had already finished disposing of the body and bowed to Joseph: "Just now, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Kagulon, came here to inquire about the suspect, and I was afraid of disturbing the affairs of the adults, so I sent him away without authorization." β
Joseph nodded: "You did the right thing, now I am a true ally with this Excellency." β
"To show my sincerity, I will give you a precious gift, my friend", Chen Rui took out one thing, "but sincerity is mutual, and I also need your return gift." β
Joseph was a little surprised, looked at Chen Rui's slowly open palm, looked at it for a while, suddenly his face changed, he could no longer maintain his calmness, and his eyes instantly became blazing: "Devil Fruit!"
Royce and Vasa Shaqi were taken aback, Vasasha was surprised by the Devil Fruit, and Royce was surprised by the identity of the Mask Man, and now he has determined that the "Beelzebub royal family" that Princess Shia ordered to hunt down the whole city is his master!,
Joseph took a deep breath and gradually regained his composure, but his mind was agitated. One of the fundamental reasons why Kanita is more valued by his father than him is talent and strength, Kanita is extremely talented and has approached the level of the Great Demon King, but he is still stagnant in the middle level of the Demon King. If you can get the Devil Fruit, the hope of breaking through the bottleneck will be greatly increased, and the chance of becoming the Great Demon King will be greatly increased, no matter what, your own Liliang is the most important and the most real!
Joseph suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "This gift is indeed incomparably precious, my friend, what sincerity do I need to give to satisfy you?"
"The Heart of Red Glory and the Requiem Fruit. "Although it was a bit of a pity to let Joseph get the Devil Fruit, for Chen Rui, nothing was more important than the Heart of Chiyao, even if Joseph broke through to the high level of the Demon King or even the Great Demon King, he had complete confidence to surpass this enemy.
Joseph muttered: "These two are extremely rare treasures, I have one of the Heart of Red Glory, but it is stored in the Red Shadow Territory, I will go there myself tomorrow, and I can return in three days at the earliest." It's just that the Requiem Fruit ...... , really, no, can you exchange it for something else, such as magic materials or equipment?"
When Chen Rui heard that Chi Yao's heart had a whereabouts, his heart was excited, but fortunately, he had a god-devouring mask on his face, and he couldn't see the clues, but Joseph's eagerness that could not be concealed fell into his eyes, and he sneered secretly, and said: "I remember that you said at the beginning that one of the conditions for our cooperation is that I can use your resources to lift the seal, magic materials and equipment, isn't it the preferential treatment I originally enjoyed?"
Joseph secretly scolded this guy for being insatiable, but the devil fruit was bound to be obtained, and he must not show the slightest dissatisfaction at the moment, so he agreed in one bite: "No problem! It is Royce who is in charge of the magic shop, and this time the magic shop has been rebuilt, you can look for him! But I can send someone to find out the requiem fruitβ......
Chen Rui knew that Joseph really did not have a requiem fruit, and sighed: "Since it is a symbol of friendship, I don't want to embarrass you, let's change one thing, just a red heart and ......",
Chen Rui's gaze swept over Royce and landed on Vasasa's body, pointing at the cold female demon: "I want this woman!" οΌ
