In the evening of the next day, Chen Rui came to the Royal Hotel in a mask and cloak. In the past two days, Cafu and Seline have been very busy, in addition to the banquets in the palace, there are also many invitations to socialize, which is simply overwhelming.

These invitations from big families or powerful people are mainly to implement Xia's strategy and ask for directions, and now the visit of "Agulie" is naturally reasonable.

Chen Rui bowed slightly to Cafu and Selene: "The general and Miss Selin are old friends of Xia Bixia and Dark Moon, because they are envoys this time, there are many inconveniences, so I came this time at the personal request of Xia Bixia to extend my most sincere condolences to the two Excellencies." ”

The two hurriedly returned the salute, and Cafu spoke: "I understand, this envoy is not an ordinary friendly visit, from the standpoint of a friend, I don't want to come, but Catherine the Great has a life, and I can't disobey it, if there is anything offended at that time, please apologize to Xia Bixia on my behalf." ”

Kafu is an old fritter, the meaning of these words is obvious, this time as a messenger, the responsibility is, when negotiating, it must be an inch of land, and will not give in because of friendship, here is a crime.

"Where is the general," Chen Rui said with a smile in his voice: "Now everyone is his master, if he abolishes his personal interests because of public affairs, he will not be the General Cafu we know, nor will he be the father whom General Monroe reveres." ”

This is a thorn in the air, Cafu had received a Devil Fruit gifted by Thea, and helped solve the big problem of the underground veins in the Crystal Valley with the help of Dark Moon, and Xia also contained Cafu's son Monroe, who was wanted by the whole country, and Cafu's rewards, including Goblin Warriors and Wizard Legions, now seem to be due to Catherine's instructions, rather than real rewards.

Kafu's actions are understandable from the perspective of the empire, and even his son was almost abandoned for the sake of the empire, which can be regarded as loyal, but it is very inauthentic from the perspective of a friend.

Chen Rui's words made Kafu's old face blush slightly, and Hao Ran said: "It's ashamed to say." At the beginning, the problem of the underground veins in the Crystal Valley was solved with the help of His Excellency Agulie, and Monroe was also rescued by His Excellency Agulie, and now he is still in an important position in the Dark Moon, and I have never had the opportunity to repay Your Excellency. I keep this affection in my heart. In the future, if your Excellency is in need, even if you come to the Shadow Empire to find me, I will do my best and will not refuse. ”

Chen Rui knew that it was impossible for Kafu to give in to the negotiation because of his personal relationship, and he didn't want to embarrass Kafu too much, so he nodded: "Okay, if there is difficulty." I'm going to come and trouble the general. I've already set up a feast at the cloak hot pot restaurant in the imperial capital, and if the general and Miss Selene aren't too rude, how about going for a drink together?"

Cafu had previously agreed to Stiller's invitation, Stiller was the main opponent in this negotiation, and Cafu also wanted to find out the reality of the opponent, but unexpectedly Chen Rui "killed" him halfway, and suddenly showed embarrassment.

Cafu thought to himself that he had just mentioned the other party's kindness, and it would be too unjust to refuse immediately. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and agree, Selene, who had been silent on the side, spoke: "General Cafu has already agreed to Lord Stiller's invitation early in the morning and is about to go to the Bol family. It is inconvenient to miss the appointment. In this way, it's been a long time since I've tasted Dark Moon's authentic hot pot, so I wonder if I have the honor to have a few drinks with Lord Agulie alone?"

As soon as these words came out, "Agulie" was naturally not easy to push, and immediately agreed. So the three of them went out of the hotel together, Cafu took a group of entourages to the Bol family for a banquet, while Chen Rui and Selene got into the carriage and walked towards the hot pot branch opened by the Cloak Society in the northern suburbs in the imperial capital.

After Cafu separated from the two, he secretly praised Selene along the way for being well versed in improvisation, but he didn't know it. Chen Rui knew early on that he was going to the Bol family for a banquet, but he just found an excuse to meet Selene alone. ..., the hot pot restaurant is in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, the scale is not small, and the business is quite hot, Chen Rui and Seileen came to the VIP private room, and after the wine and food were served. The attendants all retreated, and Chen Rui opened the haode soundproofing magic array prepared in advance, and nodded: "You can speak now." ”

Selene knew Chen Rui's incarnation early on, and it was when she saw his eyes that she took the initiative to come to the banquet on behalf of Kafu, but now that the two were alone, they immediately lifted their veils and bowed deeply: "I've seen the master." ”

Selene is only eighteen years old, with a sweet and lovely appearance, especially a pair of breasts that do not match her age, tall and round, and a standard childlike face, full of youthful allure. However, it is such a seemingly innocent and lively girl who fought for the position of the patriarch and fought for the two elder brothers who competed for the position of patriarch, and ascended to the position of the first business family in the Shadow Empire.

Selene was indeed talented, kept the Custer family in good order, and the family business became more and more prosperous, and was appreciated and reused by Queen Catherine. In fact, she also has one of the most important identities, that is, Chen Rui's servant, Selene can have today's status and power, it can be said that Chen Rui single-handedly promoted it back then, and the master-servant contract also made her dare not have two hearts.

Selene is extremely smart, knowing that this master is the fiancé of Thea, the new empress of the fallen angels, and it is likely that he will control the entire empire in the future, and her personal strength is also unfathomable, and her expression is very humble.

"Sit down, no need to be polite. ”

Selene respectfully poured a glass of wine for Chen Rui, and then sat down with him: "Master, please command." ”

This kind of attitude is similar to the last time they met in Leia Town, Chen Rui nodded secretly: "You are an envoy with Cafu this time, did Catherine the Great give a time limit for negotiations?

"I'm just a deputy envoy, in charge of assisting General Cafu, and even if there is a special explanation, only Cafu knows. As for the time limit...... From the time we arrive at the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital, there must be a result within seven days, and if Xia keeps delaying, we will show this deadline on the first day of Zuihou, and take the Fallen Angel Empire by surprise. ”

Selene didn't say what would happen if "negotiations were fruitless in seven days", but Chen Rui had already guessed that the Shadow Emperor would not give Xiyan more time, and would definitely take action to provoke the civil strife of the Fallen Angel Empire, and when the time came, the empire would be in chaos, even if she didn't start a war, Xia would lose the capital to confront Catherine and would be completely controlled by others.

"Seven days ......" Chen Rui pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Did Emperor Catherine ask you about 'Master Arthur'?"

"Asked. As my master instructed, I said that Liliang, who used Master Arthur and Dark Moon, to ascend to the position of the Custer family, originally wanted to use the seduction and the family's financial resources to firmly bind Master Arthur, but unexpectedly, the master suddenly disappeared later. Before the Custer family moved into Darkmoon, I made a special report to Catherine Bixia. Permission was obtained. ”

Chen Rui nodded thoughtfully, scooped out a special communication talisman and put it on the table: "You have done a good job, you are the identity of the shadow envoy during this time, don't show your flaws." If there is an emergency, you can use this messenger to contact me. ”

"Got it, master. Selene took the messenger and put it away, and said, "Master, you told me to look for something last time, and by chance, I found this. I don't know if it meets the owner's requirements, please take a look. ”

As he spoke, Selene scooped out a thing, Chen Rui's eyes froze, it turned out that Selene scooped out an ancient and broken leather scroll, this leather scroll was very familiar to him, because he already had four copies of the same thing in his hands: the treasure map fragment..., which was indeed a surprise!

Chen Rui hurriedly scooped out the half-assembled fragment in his hand, and when the leather scroll brought by Selene was close to the fragment. The fragments glow faintly and blend together perfectly to form a complete map.

After this map is restored to its entirety. The original appearance suddenly changed, and it moved like an animation, revealing an ocean, and there was only one place in the demon world with such geographical characteristics, the sea of death. When Chen Rui got his hands on the second fragment, the goblin profiteer had said that the treasure map recorded the secret vaults of the Sea of Death. This secret treasure was left by the Dark Dragon Emperor who roamed the Demon Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, and there are countless treasures in it, and it seems now. Not a lie.

It's just that this treasure map looks like a vast ocean, Chen Rui looked at it for a long time, and didn't find any special marks or hints, and he had some doubts in his heart, and finally put together the treasure map, could it just be that the location was determined to be somewhere in the Sea of Death? The Sea of Death is so big. How do you find it, or do you have to take the map to the Sea of Death to have an effect?

With the eyesight of Master Chen Rui, it can be seen that the treasure map is made of a special material, which is definitely not as simple as it seems, this material is very sensitive, if it is cracked by violent means, it is likely to make the entire treasure map turn into ashes, it seems that to solve the mystery of it, it still needs to be studied.

This time, Chen Rui happened to go to the Sea of Death, as long as he unlocked the secret of the treasure map, there might be a big unexpected harvest at that time.

"You're doing a great job!" Chen Rui put away the treasure map and looked approvingly at Selene: "Say, what reward do you want?"

Selene bowed her head and said, "It's my duty to do things for my master, and I don't dare to ask for a reward." ”

Chen Rui knew that this girl's scheming and methods were extraordinary, and said: "I have always rewarded and punished clearly, and I am very satisfied with your ability and loyalty, just say what you want, don't be restrained." ”

Selene glanced at him hesitantly and bit her lip: "Can I become the master's concubine?"

Since the master-servant contract is only limited to one person, the master can give up her life at any time and choose a more valuable servant, judging from the relationship between "Master Arthur" and that succubus Jiya, the master is very good to his own woman, so Selene wants to become Chen Rui's woman by dedicating herself to greatly reducing the threat of being abandoned. Not only that, the master supported Xia all the way from the Dark Moon Lord to the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital, and it is likely that the Fallen Angel Empire will also be under the control of the master in the future.

Chen Rui really has no other thoughts about Selene, if you want to talk about dedication, those two thousand lamp spirits are not under Selene, whether they are loyal or beautiful. He frowned, vaguely guessed what Selene was thinking, and shook his head: "I know what you're worried about, my liliang is beyond your imagination, you are not the only servant I have signed a contract, the deputy general of the Jego Fortress, Loki, is also one of them, he is in the imperial capital now, do you want to meet him?"

Selene was shocked, of course she knew that Loki was a close confidant of Bai Luo, the first general of the shadows, and he was a strong demon emperor, so she didn't expect that she had also become a servant of her master. In this way, there is more than one contract that the master can manipulate! What does this mean?

Selene's expression fell in Chen Rui's eyes, and she smiled indifferently, in fact, Loki is not a servant, but a puppet, but using this "acquaintance" as an example, it is obviously more convincing to Selene.

"I can tell you a secret, I am the inheritor of a demigod, if I fully recover, it will not be difficult to reach the demigod level, you are a smart person, do you understand what I mean?"

This sentence brought a stronger shock to Selene, and then suddenly: No wonder the master's strength has leaped extremely fast, when he was in the Maker Competition, he was only the Great Demon King, and later when he was in Leia Town, he was already able to compete with Empress Catherine's secret guard and the Demon Emperor's mid-stage Therdira, and now, he actually killed the Fallen Angel Regent Obsidian, the peak Demon Emperor, such a terrifying upgrade speed...... It turned out to be the inheritor of the demigod..., the meaning of Chen Rui's second half of the sentence made Selene's heart beat even more, because according to the legend, only a strong person who has reached the demigod level can lift the restrictions of the contract, so the master means that after his strength recovers to the demigod level......

If another person said such a thing, Selene would never believe it, but the "miracle" created by Chen Rui was something she had witnessed with her own eyes, even the first powerhouse, Lei Chan, or the Catherine Emperor of the Shadow Empire, could not have such a terrifying speed of progress, and there was more than one servant contract ability.

"Understood! Master!"

Seileen Zuihou's little extra caution was completely reined in, and her loyalty suddenly increased to the highest point, and after the master's strength really reached the demigod, there was really no need to use a contract to restrain her servant. The Demon Realm respects the strong, and if they can take refuge under the liliang of a demigod powerhouse, then the Custer family will prosper and prosper for generations, even the emperor of the empire cannot be shaken.

"Since you don't want to reward this time, then reward it next time. Chen Rui scooped out a list, "Also, try every means to gather the materials listed in this list, and the quantity can only be more than less." ”

These materials are all needed for the relics of the ancient alchemy civilization, some of them are very rare, and the number of requirements is very large, and the difficulty is not small. Selene took the list and looked at it, slightly surprised, but didn't say much, and carefully put it into the space ring: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely complete it in the shortest possible time." ”

Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction, and when Selene had gathered these materials, he would go to the Sea of Death to find the Blue Star Heavy Water and the Ghost Coral, and then the Star Capital would be able to return to its peak state and have a powerful army of ancient alchemy civilizations.
