Chapter 433: The First General
Chapter 433: The First General
Seeing Chen Rui leave on a two-legged flying dragon, Pagliu took out a bottle of emerald yù wine, took a sip of it, and spewed out a hot breath comfortably: Sure enough, it was the wine made by Little Betty that was the most fragrant. ~~
The spoils with a cunning vampire human are just a change in numbers in the end, anyway, Uncle Poison Dragon's money is deposited with the vampire human, and I don't know if I can collect it at that time.
However, none of this seems to be important, the important thing is that Uncle Pagliu is not a dragon fighting now, there is a certain cunning human by his side, there is little Betty, who is barely a main palace, and a few other credible accomplices.
It felt that in these tens of thousands of years of life and memory, only this year or so seemed to have become extraordinarily clear, although, at birth, all he saw was eggshells.
By the way, you have to rush back as soon as possible to protect the guy's NV people, Pagliu drank the bottle of wine in one go, and rose into the air, a huge black shadow fluttered its wings, and in an instant it had already made a small black dot, and then disappeared into the night.
Chen Rui drove the bipedal wyvern to fly all the way, and under the guidance of the magic map, it took four full days to cross the Black Iron Mountain Range and come to the territory of the Bloody Empire.
Despite being separated by the Black Iron Mountains, the Bloody Empire still built the Moro Fortress on the other side of the Black Iron Mountains, and it is unknown if it was to guard against the Yīn Shadow Empire or if it had other intentions.
Chen Rui successfully passed the fortress as the apprentice "Richard", because when he reached the crafting class, the badges obtained had a unique xìng, and he could show his name through the special inspection props of the Artifact Alliance.
Chen Rui's target was what the Earth Elemental Monarch Moore had said, the Wo Yuan Soil in the Extreme North in the Secreid Mountains. This treasure can not only help Moore advance to the peak of the Demon Emperor's strength, but it is also one of the missing materials for the creation of the artifact wand "Secret Shadow".
Shadow can double the power of all spells, double the cast speed, and is immune to soul attacks, as well as the "Bound-Breaking Domain", which has a chance to ignore the opponent's magic defenses or immune bodies, making it the strongest weapon tailor-made for Lola.
It's just that, so far, the "shadows" that have infiltrated the bloody empire have not found out the whereabouts of Mount Sekorid, as if no one knows about this mountain at all.
Of course, the "Shadow" has been established for too short a time, and at present, the main jīng power is placed in the country of the Fallen Angel Empire, while in the other two empires, both manpower and strength are quite insufficient, at most they can only grasp some relatively ordinary information, and there is no way to access some core confidential information.
Since he came to the Bloody Empire, he naturally didn't want to go back empty-handed, Chen Rui thought about it and decided to go to the Bloody Emperor Capital first to see if he could find out any useful news.
Chen Rui passed through the fortress of Moro to a small town, rode a horse-drawn carriage all the way to the west, and finally arrived at the town of Essidor that was the only way to the imperial capital.
Originally obscure, the town of Essidor became an almost household name in the Demon Realm thousands of years ago after the First World War.
At that time, the army of the bloody empire of the Ma Mén royal clan invaded the Nu Wang Empire of the Samael royal family, and had been attacking everything before, but when it was in this small place leading to the imperial capital, it encountered stubborn resistance dozens of times that surpassed the previous fortress or city.
Seret, the first general of the furious royal family, led 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, miraculously blocked the onslaught of the main army of 300,000 blood, but due to the lack of backup, the whole army died after holding out for ten days.
Although the bloody army captured the town of Essidor, it paid four times the price of the enemy, and then the bloody army drove all the way in, broke through the imperial capital, and the emperor died, and the Nu King Empire became history. However, the general of Seret won the respect of everyone, including his enemies, and the Bloody Emperor even made a bronze statue of him with his own hands.
In order to commemorate the bravery of Seret, later generations composed a song "Song of Essidor" that has been circulated to this day, and the last time, when the Blue Melt Territory was facing a desperate situation, Athena sang this song to Chen Rui.
In the desolation and desolation, she is persistent and unyielding, representing her state of mind at that time.
That scene, just like the confession in the underground flames of Xilang Mountain, has been deeply rooted in Chen Rui's heart. Athena is not as charming as Jia, Liliang and knowledge are not as good as Lola, and she is not as beautiful as Shia or Catherine, but, needless to say, she is her, she is unique, and she is also the person he loves the most.
Then, let's continue to become stronger, not for power, not for fame and fortune, but for protection.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, and his eyes became more determined.
The carriage did not reach the inn directly, but stopped at the entrance to the town of Essidor, and the people in the carriage walked down one after another. It's not that the service is inadequate, but that there is a large number of troops at the entrance of the town to check the population entering the town, and there are several staff members who are in charge of registration.
Chen Rui was slightly surprised, in the previous town or even the fortress was not so strong, could it be that something had happened?
Soon it was his turn to check, and the soldiers around him were staring at him, and the registered demon didn't raise his head, and asked directly: "Name, race, identity, destination." ”
"Richard, the Great Demon, the apprentice of the Crafter, intends to go to the Imperial Capital to assess the qualifications of the Crafter. ”
When the demon heard that he was going to assess the crafter, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at him more: "If you don't have anything special to stay here, it's best to go to the imperial capital through Essidor as soon as possible." ”
"Weishenme?" Chen Rui asked curiously, but the demon waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to hurry up.
Chen Rui was suspicious in his heart, followed the people in front of him, and walked all the way into Esidor Town.
The eye is greeted by a huge bronze statue of Thray Samael by the Bloody Emperor himself, with a square face and a resolute expression, dressed in tattered armor and supported by a long-bladed sword. It is said that when General Seret died, it was in this posture that he stood without blinking his eyes, and none of the bloody soldiers touched his body, and they all made a respectful detour.
Nowadays, in front of the statue, there are piles of fresh huā, it seems that there are many people who come to pay respects, there are many people coming and going in the town, and the guards of the town of Essidor are several times more than the establishment of ordinary towns, and there are patrols going back and forth from time to time.
Chen Rui wanted to find a tavern to inquire about the news, but all the taverns in the town were closed, and later it took a little money to learn from the mouth of a little bad devil that today was the death anniversary of General Thray in 2,370 years, that is, the day of Essidor.
Originally, this kind of death did not require the army to make a big move, but since the Bloody Empire invaded the Nuwang Empire, the resistance encountered by Liliang has emerged in an endless stream.
The Raging Royal Family is the most brave and warlike royal family in the Demon Realm, despite the fall of the emperor, but never really succumbed, especially on the death of General Serre, many violent cases in the name of Serre are extremely headaches for the Bloody Empire, every time it comes, the whole country is under emergency martial law, interrogating and searching for suspicious elements.
This situation has been maintained until the accession of the contemporary bloody emperor Lei Chan, Lei Chan also used bloody suppression at the beginning, it was the little prince Teris who changed all this, more than a hundred years ago, Teris did not know what means to use, actually persuaded the Emperor Lei Chan, invited the young patriarch of the angry royal family Gustav to be the first general of the empire, and named the death of General Thure as the day of Esidor, every ten years will organize a memorial meeting in the official name, allowing anyone to come to the town of Esidor to mourn the heroic general. ..., sure enough, after cooperating with this gentle policy, the movement of the bloody empire finally gradually stabilized, and the Emperor Lei Chan also showed extraordinary courage and entrusted Gustav with a heavy responsibility, becoming the first general in the true sense.
Chen Rui nodded secretly, Teris's hand "blocking is better than sparse" is used beautifully, and today happens to be the "official" memorial meeting held every ten years, no wonder there are so many "order-maintaining" troops. As for the suspension of alcoholic beverages, it was intended to commemorate Seret and to prevent accidents on the head of certain liquors.
At this time, many people quickly gathered towards the street, and Chen Rui heard someone whispering: "General Gustav is here!"
Chen Rui curiously followed everyone and hurried to the entrance of the town, and saw a tall and thin man in armor, riding a black sè war horse, surrounded by a small group of cavalry in red sè armor, passed the checkpoint, and then dismounted in unison and walked in the direction of the statue of Serre.
Chen Rui's eyesight is outstanding, and he has seen Gustav's appearance clearly, with a slender figure, high eyebrow bones, and facial features like a knife, giving people a cold feeling.
Chen Rui was taken aback, Gustav was none other than the Demon Emperor-level powerhouse who was following the bloody little prince Teris at the last Dark Moon Auction!
At this time, Gustav had already walked towards this side, and many of the onlookers were angry royal families who had come to participate in the memorial service, and they all bowed to Gustav, and many of them followed behind Gustav's guards and walked towards the statue.
Chen Rui's heart moved, and he was also in the crowd moving forward, he had always had a question in his heart, or a guess, and now he just opened the eye of analysis to confirm it.
Gustav came to the bronze statue, stopped, took the fresh huā from the guards' hands, placed it under the statue, and then knelt down on one knee, closed his eyes, and many people behind him did the same, and the guards did not stop the crowd that followed, thinking that it was commonplace.
Chen Rui slowly approached the past, squeezed into the front row of the crowd, and finally entered the effective range of the Eye of Analysis.
Race: Raging Royalty.
Comprehensive strength assessment: A+ (S-). Physique A (S-), Lilianga + (S), Jīng God B+ (A-), Agile A (S-).
Analysis: Fire genus xìng.
Sure enough, the data was exactly the same.
This "identical" object is the mysterious Demon Emperor powerhouse who almost killed Chen Rui in Lupin Town, the Blue Melt Territory, and later gave Athena a pair of legendary bracers-Bridget!
This may explain that Weishenme Bridget "liked" Athena's singing at the time.
Song of Essidor.
The first general of the Bloody Empire is actually a bloody person!
The Water Elemental Monarch Rambost had said that he had sacrificed so many human lives in Lupin Town, not only for the restoration of the Dark Elemental Monarch Hegel, but also for someone who needed the Dark Elemental Liliang to break through the bottleneck.
Dark liliang ...... Dark system jīng pass?
Also, break through the bottleneck...... Devil Fruits?
Looking at this angry royal powerhouse who had been nicknamed "Bridget", a new bold guess gradually became clear in Chen Rui's heart, at this time, Gustav had finished his silent mourning, stood up, and suddenly glanced back, his gaze was in the direction of Chen Rui, it seemed that this Demon Emperor-level powerhouse had been keenly aware of the gaze behind him.
Chen Rui was taken aback, after confirming the identity of that "Bridget", his gaze just now involuntarily brought a trace of hostility, and it was discovered by Gustav in so many people, this opponent's jīng divine sensing ability was surprising. You must know that the Eye of Analysis shows that Gustav is a Liliang-type cultivator, and his divine power is only at the level of a mere Demon Emperor!
Perhaps, this is not only the induction of jīng's divine power, but also a subtle induction from instinct that has been experienced in a hundred battles. ..., and sure enough, it's a difficult enemy to deal with.
Gustav's gaze, the people around him immediately turned their eyes over, and soon, Chen Rui was "discovered" and became the focus of attention.
A guard immediately arrested Chen Rui, and Gustav glanced at Chen Rui: "Who are you?"
Although this voice is different from Bridget, that feeling makes Chen Rui more sure - the voice can be changed with some kind of skill or prop, as if the true face is hidden, but that intuition can't be wrong, it's him!
Chen Rui looked extremely nervous: "The general spares my life! I am an apprentice craftsman, and I was about to go to the imperial capital to assess the crafter, and I happened to come here to remember General Lesser, and I was a little curious about the general......
Gustav didn't give him a chance to explain, and said coldly: "Tell the people behind you, don't affect my mood on such days, otherwise ......"
Chen Rui only felt that two blade-like rays of light penetrated his heart and spleen, and he was indeed a little nervous, and his heart immediately beat violently, it seemed that Gustav had misunderstood him as some kind of person who was watching.
Gustav, the first general of the empire, is afraid that life is not as easy as outsiders imagined.
Chen Rui immediately lowered his head and did not speak again, so as to divert his gaze so as not to arouse suspicion.
Many disdainful, angry, and hateful eyes around him suddenly cast over, making Chen Rui feel uncomfortable.
"Throw him out of town. Gustav gave an order to the guards, ignored Chen Rui, and continued to turn to face the bronze statue.
The guard grabbed Chen Rui's neck very roughly, and dragged him towards the entrance of the town, Chen Rui naturally did not resist, but secretly called unlucky, "I just came in from here, and I am going to be thrown out again, but you are throwing it at the exit of the imperial capital......
After Chen Rui's smooth "landing", singing sounded in the direction of the town, and the tragic and poignant song of Essidor floated in the sky, overbearing and desolate.
Feeling that sad atmosphere, Chen Rui's heart was touched, as if he was still in Lupin, and he couldn't help but slowly close his eyes, just like Bridget that day.
(ps:Suddenly I really want to write a poem.,It's "The Song of Essidor".,But it's too much inspiration at the moment.,It's too late in terms of time.,Friends.,If you're inspired, you might as well create a song?Call the same master...... )
