The master of the three lines of proficient craftsmen, in any empire, is a hot talent, and it is definitely not to be missed.

Right now, this person is in front of him, and Catherine the Great, as the first wise man, will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Reward is only the first step.

Hearing Catherine's promise of reward, Chen Rui's first thought was to ask Empress Bixia to "reward" Christina to him, but this request was obviously impossible, Christina, who had been recognized by the artifact shadow cloak, had the strength of the Demon Emperor or even the Demon Emperor, and was definitely the next Empress candidate.

Even if she was a grandmaster-level artifact maker, Catherine couldn't agree to use the Empire's prince as a bargaining chip, so the idea could only be thought of.

Chen Rui bowed to Catherine: "May I ask Bixia, are there any Requiem Fruits and Fog Shadow Flowers?"

Catherine thought for a moment and replied: "There is no Requiem Fruit, I can issue a reward nationwide, but there is one Flower of Mist Shadow, but it has withered, and there are only three seeds left, I don't know if the master is suitable for it?"

"All it takes is one seed. Chen Rui hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth secretly, and finally made up his mind and said: "I was entrusted by someone to hand over something to your noble daughter Christina in person, which should be regarded as the third reward I asked for from Bixia, please allow Bixia." ”

Catherine the Great's gaze flashed slightly behind the veil, and the surrounding aura suddenly changed, Chen Rui only felt that two cold and lightning-like gazes fell on his body, and a faint coercion enveloped his whole body. Even Liliang, who was in his current Law Realm, had a trembling feeling, and this was just a glance at him from a distance.

Chen Rui had a hunch that Catherine's strength was far superior to that of the Earth Elemental King, who was also at the Demon Emperor level, and even far superior to Glover Beelzebub!

After the cold electricity circled around him, it flew back again, and the pressure gradually dissipated, and a pale yellow light flew out, levitating in front of Chen Rui.

Catherine's ethereal strange voice continued: "Christina is thinking behind closed doors in the forbidden palace because she mishandled things and made mistakes, and she is not allowed to meet anyone. It's just that since it was the master's request, I made an exception to let her meet the master. After three days, the master can take this pass token to the palace, and naturally someone will take you to meet her. ”

"Thank you Bixia!" Chen Rui was secretly happy in his heart, took the token, and gave another salute to Empress Catherine. Although there is no news about the Requiem Fruit, the Flower of Fog Shadow has finally been completed, as for the third condition...... , I did sweat a handful just now, but Catherine, as an emperor, promised three rewards in front of so many people, and she shouldn't regret it.

"So, now that I sincerely invite the master to join the Craftsman Alliance in my country, is the master willing to accept this kindness?" Originally, Catherine also planned to knock on the side, do what he liked, and slowly win over this master of the three lines, but somehow, he suddenly changed his strategy and directly brought it up.

It stands to reason that the most suitable candidate for this request should be Master Anderson, the president of the Alliance.

Chen Rui knew that joining the alliance did not have too many restrictions on his self-pity, and he could enjoy various treatments. Since Catherine agreed to his meeting with Christina, and talked about it in public, if she refuses to do so, she is afraid that the Flower of Fog and Shadow and Christina will be in vain, so she immediately agreed.

Catherine bowed slightly, and the audience present all applauded warmly when they saw that the master of the three lines had agreed to join the Craftsman Alliance in her country.

Anderson, Rummenigge and Xhosa several masters all showed a look of joy, Master Leo smiled a little reluctantly, among these masters, he is the only one who has had a holiday with Chen Rui, but the strength and talent of the people are here, and it is personally invited by the empress Bixia, in the future, it will definitely be the most dazzling star in the craft industry, if you continue to fight evil, I am afraid that my life will not be easy in the future.

The final of the Maker came to a perfect end in the eyes of the public, and the deeds of the first master of the three series of mastery and legendary equipment "Instant Fanghua" in 10,000 years will quickly spread throughout the entire Demon Realm from the Shadow Empire, which may be the beginning of a new generation of legends.

Chen Rui followed Master Anderson and the others to the office of the alliance and received the robe and micro-badge representing the master. The micro chapter is a purple double moon symbol, also inlaid with gold edges, representing special glory. ,

Chen Rui finally arrived at the Thunder Dragon Flame Crystal and Star Smoothie that he wanted the most, and since then, the materials of "Thunder Sound" have been completely complete, only the aura is missing. Out of preferential treatment for this newly joined alliance master of the three lines, Chen Rui also received a series of high-level treatments such as annual material and black crystal coin "benefits", the right to purchase internal materials, discounts, and access to the Ancient Magic Tower.

All he has to do is to provide three pieces of quasi-legendary-level equipment or one piece of legendary-level equipment to the alliance for external sales every year, and the alliance accounts for 30% of the sales proceeds, and he accounts for 70%.

This system of borrowing chickens to lay eggs is also the reason for the longevity of the Craftsmen's Alliance, although the price is high, but the reputation and integrity of the past generations of "the alliance products, must be high-quality" makes the alliance sell master works in short supply.

With the resources and channels of the Artifact Maker Alliance, coupled with the status and treatment obtained by Chen Rui, as long as the aura is sufficient, he can continue to gather materials to make "Lei Yin" or more equipment in the future, which is also one of the main reasons why he considered joining the alliance in the first place.

Back in the Custer family, Chen Rui received the highest courtesy and treatment, and even the current patriarch Croze came out to greet him in person. Kreuz was well aware of the weight of a three-series master of weaponry, and was pleasantly surprised by Dio's vision and opportunity this time.

This master now has a broad future in the Craftsman Alliance, the entire empire and even the entire Wish Realm, the Custer family originally started as a craftsman, and the relationship with this master should naturally not be terminated with the end of the competition, and the original cooperative relationship must be used to tie the interests of the master and the Custer family as much as possible, and at the very least, maintain an extraordinary friendship.

As the biggest direct beneficiary, the eldest son of the Custer family and the heir Dio, who has been confirmed, is naturally in high spirits. Of course, as long as Kroze does not hand over the family responsibilities to him for a day, Dio is just an heir, not the real head of the family. Moreover, with Chen Rui's current reputation, it is impossible for Dio to turn his face, showing an extremely close attitude, and the master is very attentive before and after the master.

After learning that Master "Arthur" was in the Custer family in the inner city, there was an endless stream of high-ranking officials and nobles who came to visit, and Kreuz smiled happily, and quietly showed the "close" relationship between the Custer family and the master, but Chen Rui seemed to be tired of it, and it seems that celebrities are not so easy to be.

Ji Ya seemed to avoid the topic before the final, and didn't tell him what he wanted to know, Chen Rui knew that she had wavered, and it was not good to push it too hard for a while, so it was better to boil the frog in warm water and cook it slowly.

On the afternoon before going to the palace to meet Christina, an expected person found Chen Rui, the third lady of the Castle family, Selene.

Ji Ya was chatting with Chen Rui, and when she saw Selene coming, she made an excuse and went to the house to rest. With a sweet smile on her face, Selene didn't seem to see the impact of today's loss.

Chen Rui smiled: "I don't know what advice the third lady has to offer?"

"No one has any advice, it's just a loser, and now it has attracted the attention of the eldest brother and the second brother, and it can't be done if you want to keep your eyes open. Selene sighed, "Originally, people thought that with Horford, they could win in one go, but they didn't know that they ran into an immortal figure like a master, which can only be said to be too unlucky." ”

"Where's Master Horford?"

"As a dual-line master, it stands to reason that he will be valued by all parties wherever he goes, but now his limelight has been overshadowed by you, and he feels bored, so he left early in the morning. Selene smiled and said, "People are now succumbing to the master as a loser, and the master can do whatever he wants......"

Chen Rui glanced at the snow-white plump exposed by the open neckline, and said quietly: "Let's get to the point." ”

"It seems that people are really not as good as Ji Ya", Seileen glanced at him resentfully, "I came, the first thing is to want the master to admit defeat, and the second thing is to ask if the master's previous promise is still valid?"

"Where's Old Gauss?" Chen Rui knew that Selene was referring to supporting her promise to control the family, and did not answer directly.

"I've been told that old Gauss has been found in a house in the southern suburbs, and if the master wants to go to him, I can take him with me. Selene's eyes rolled: "But I heard that he seems to have eaten something he shouldn't eat and has been asleep, which is probably the reason for his disappearance." ”,

"Really?" Chen Rui didn't reveal it, but just followed her tone and asked, "Then when he woke up, there should be no other problems such as the temple's body." ”

"I think there should be no problem, I've already found it, and the old Gauss that the master wants, is enough to prove sincerity, so the master's promise the night before yesterday ......"

"You have ambition and ability, and you're better suited to control the Castel than Dio and Faramo. Chen Rui's words made Selene's eyes light up, "However, ambition is a double-edged sword, and what I'm worried about now is that this sword will hurt myself." ”

Selene is definitely worthy of the evaluation of "people can't be disfigured", for the sake of interests, she can pay any price, including her own body, but from another point of view, Selene has courage, wisdom, and means, far better than her two elder brothers, and should be the best candidate for the heir.

Don't look at Dio's current currying favor with Chen Rui, he also has the intention of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Chen Rui's puppet mask can also control a person, and it can deal with Celine or Dio, but the puppet mask also has its own small flaws. Puppets made of puppet masks can live as usual, absolutely obeying their masters, but their minds will be affected, and they are only suitable for a fixed mode of life. Unless under the control of the master, he can't do things that use his brain flexibly, and this is the case with Schnod in the Red Shadow Territory today.

And the puppet is irreversible, and after becoming a puppet, you can't get rid of it for life unless you die.

The mental shackles of the Leviathan clan do not have the defects of the puppet mask, and the intelligence of the person who has been shackled has no effect, but Liliang and the psychic side will be imprisoned, and the difficulty of breaking through itself will be greatly increased, such as Di Lìya, whose original strength was higher than that of Lomon, but he has been stuck at the peak of the demon king level, and now he has been caught up by Lomon, and it is possible to break through to the Great Demon King under the effect of the special and aurora Xuanbing of the poison dragon. However, every time a person who is subject to the shackles of the mind breaks through, the shackles will be weakened a lot, and once the strength exceeds the caster of the shackles, the shackles will become invalid.

Both the Mind Shackles and the Puppet Mask can only be used on people with lower strength than themselves, in contrast, the most suitable means of control is the master-servant contract, and neither the mind nor the liliang will be affected, and there is no limit on the difference in rank strength. The master can destroy the life of the servant at any time at a certain cost (without paying the cost for killing it directly), and if the master dies, the servant will die with him.

The master-servant contract generally has to be voluntarily surrendered by both parties (it can also be forcibly surrendered), and a person's body can only carry one copy, and many people accept servants early in the morning in order to prevent some accidents.

The Custer family is the first business family, the controller must have a flexible mind and means, Chen Rui needs a person who can really run and grow the Custer family and use it for Dark Moon and him, if he uses a puppet mask, unless he stays here to control it at all times, otherwise if he leaves, he can't rely on the puppet's mind alone.

"If Miss Selene can save me from worrying about the future, I can do my best to help and support you in ascending to the position of head of the family. You also know that with my current prestige and position in the Crafter's Alliance, even if I don't kill your two older brothers, if you show this attitude, your father is likely to change his mind. ”

"Isn't it enough for you to trust me as your wife?" said Selene.

"What do you say?" Chen Rui asked rhetorically, Selene can attack her own brother, and then blame another brother, she can quietly make Lao Gauss disappear, she can send someone to assassinate Chen Rui on the street, and she can use her body as a bargaining chip in exchange for the position of the head of the family, but the marriage relationship due to interests is naturally unreliable.

"Isn't this a challenge for the Master?" said Selene with a smile and a pun, "As long as the Master conquers me, I will be the Master's most loyal wife and servant." ”

Chen Rui was not interested in the so-called conquest at all, he didn't have time to spend here, and nodded: "I like the word slave." ”

"It's not funny. Selene's pale red pupils showed a hint of chill, it is one thing to give your body, and it is another thing to give your soul. Her ambitions are great, maybe not only the Custer family, how can she be willing to succumb to the slaves of others and be controlled by others for the rest of her life, and this "Arthur" is just a master craftsman.

Now that Old Gauss has not been saved, Chen Rui didn't want to turn his face immediately, and smiled slightly: "Since it's a joke, why should the third miss be serious?" But the issue of trust is the key to our cooperation, but I have already tested the sincerity of the third miss.

In this case, I will first go and look at the old Gauss, and then carefully explore and solve the most critical trust issue of our cooperation. ”

Selene regained a smile on her face: "There are too many people who have come to visit the master now, it's getting late, let's go out through the side door." ”。 ）
