Chapter 15: Athena's Friendship
Chen Rui casually spent a lot of words explaining in the highly toxic erosion of Paglevu.
When talking about the treasure six and four points, he deliberately missaid it as "six people and four dragons", and Pagliu jumped up all of a sudden: "Dream! Greedy guy, it's clearly you four and I six!"
Sure enough, it is the wealth that can make the dragon clan remember the most, but the symbiosis contract is impossible to forge, and nine times out of ten, this guy has reacted before, and he is deliberately entertaining.
After verbally criticizing the insatiable greed of his human allies, Pagliu dragged him to the Diamond Chess to show off his achievements in the past few days. Sure enough, the poisonous dragon had been addicted to it since he left last time.
Chen Rui looked at the remaining four small pebbles in the chessboard, and did not comment, but rearranged the stones and moved. Looking at the three small pebbles left by Zuihou in the chessboard, and counting the number of steps Chen Rui used, it was finally the turn of the poisonous dragon to be very injured. In fact, Chen Rui has an easier way, he can complete the highest "genius" level with only eighteen moves, that is, leaving only one chess piece in the center of the chessboard, of course, this method is not his original, but the crystallization of the wisdom of his predecessors.
Whether it is Huarong Dao or independent diamond chess, Chen Rui has made a smart choice, and has not used the highest solution he knows, just to leave more interest and imagination space for these users.
Sure enough, Pagliu was even more interested when he heard that there were more and easier moves than before. But now is not the time to play this, the poisonous dragon glanced at Athena in the distance, and shouted: "Woman, Lord Pagliu wants to eat barbecue, you go and hunt some prey, and your man will stay and play chess with Lord Pagliu!"
Chen Rui looked at Pagliu with disdain, Athena knew that the barbecue was the condition of the poisonous dragon's "agreement" last time, so she didn't say anything more, a few ups and downs, and disappeared from sight.
"This woman is a mutant bloodline, and she has two forms, even if the demon form during the battle does not meet your aesthetic opinion, her usual state should be quite beautiful. Pagliu squeezed his eyes, "How's it going?"
"You guy who only thinks about problems with the lower half of your body! How can I have this ability?" Chen Rui said angrily: "Actually, Athena is very good, and she is very righteous, I don't want to lie to her, just be friends, she should also help." ”
"Whatever you want, as long as you get the goal," said the Paglio monster, "but we dragons have two aphorisms. There is no truly pure friendship between men and women. Friendship is the beginning of aiqing. You've taken the first successful step, and you're a cunning guy!"
Chen Rui knew that he couldn't tell the poisonous dragon clearly, and said: "Pagliu, don't digress, while Athena is not here now, let's start the study of the dragon inscription." ”
As soon as he heard this, Pugliu also got serious.
Inscription refers to the carved text, according to the concave and convex form is divided into Yin and Yang, the dragon inscription is a kind of spell carved by the special spell of the ancient dragon clan, each individual inscription contains the meaning of the mystery, can play a powerful liliang, the stronger the user itself liliang, the deeper the understanding of the inscription, the greater the power of the carving. Because it is so profound, not many of the dragons themselves are proficient in this way.
A string of inscriptions arranged according to a certain rule exerts several times more power than the sum of the individual inscriptions. Although the power of the dragon inscription is strong, due to the origin of the creator Liliang, the lethality of the inscription against the dragon itself is much weaker than that of other creatures.
The first thing Pugliu taught was some basic decomposition glyphs, Chen Rui's memory was very good, and he remembered it quickly, but he felt that it was very difficult to understand, so he could only write them all down first, and then go back and digest them slowly. Seeing that Chen Rui had such a good memory, Pagliu simply taught a few more complete inscriptions.
Soon, Athena returned with her prey, and Chen Rui began to work as a chef. Last time, the poisonous dragon only ate the leftover ingredients from Alice's roast, and this time it was a feast. After eating the barbecue, Pagliu took a branch and picked his teeth neatly, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, remember to come back in seven days!"
"Wait," Athena got up and asked sharply, "Where's the antidote?"
Pagliu asked suspiciously, "What antidote?"
This foodie! I even forgot about the antidote! Chen Rui hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for help, and while glaring at Pagliu, Pugliu finally remembered, showed hesitation, and touched his clothes for a long time, and made three small turquoise beads.
Chen Rui thought of the sweat and dirt pills used in some novels, and his heart felt a chill.
That disgusted look made Pagliu furious, put a soundproof barrier, grabbed Chen Rui's collar, and said angrily: "You ignorant guy! This is Biyingzhu, a special crystallization of a poisonous dragon, eating it can not only quickly recover from injuries, but also permanently enhance the body's anti-toxicity, it takes almost two hundred years to produce one! Each one melts in water, enough for ten people to take! The next time the antidote is solved, you can solve it yourself!"
It turned out to be the Ten Perfection Great Tonic Pill, Chen Rui smiled embarrassedly, and Pagliu looked at Athena, who had already drawn his big sword and was ready to rescue, smiled meaningfully, and let go of his collar. Chen Rui gave Athena a unharmed look and quickly left the lake with her.
Along the way, Athena kept her head down on the back of the triangular rhino, did not speak to Chen Rui, and looked sullen.
Chen Rui thought that Athena was still afraid of the toxicity in her body, so he handed over a blue pearl and said, "Athena, why don't you take this antidote first, and we will come back in seven days, it should be fine." ”
"It's all my fault!" Athena suddenly clenched her fists, and her long-suppressed mood suddenly exploded, "I've been regretting it for the past few days, if I insisted on not bringing Alice to Lake Rampo in the first place, she wouldn't have been poisoned!
Chen Rui didn't expect Athena's temperament to be so strong, no wonder the poisonous dragon said that this was just a temporary solution, seeing that she really had the posture of going to Pagliu desperately, he hurriedly said: "Wait, if you annoy the poisonous dragon, he won't give the antidote again, won't it hurt Alice?"
Athena was hit by the vital point, and sat down in a dejected manner, and her voice actually carried a rare cry: "Alice is my most haode friend, and my Wells family has received the great favor of the White Night Emperor, and my father specially sent me to the Dark Moon Territory, even if I risk my life, I have to protect Prince Green's lineage, but I have committed such an unforgivable mistake!"
Chen Rui realized that Athena was not worried about her own safety but her friend Alice's, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart: "Athena! I swear with my life, you, Alice, and Ji Ya's toxicity will be lifted safely, if you trust me, eat that antidote pill now!"
For the sake of the poisonous dragon and her own life, this lie cannot be exposed for the time being, so let's give her a psychological comfort first.
Athena raised her head, her reddish eyes looked at the unequivocal human in surprise, and finally nodded, took the blue pearl and ate it. Maybe the taste of this tonic is not good, she frowned tightly, and Chen Rui then remembered that one blue pearl was enough for ten people, which seemed to be a bit wasteful.
Athena, who had recovered her strength, spoke: "Chen Rui, you are the bravest human being I have ever seen, and you are also a man with responsibility, these days, I have regarded you as a friend. If there is anything I want to help in the future, just ask, I, Athena Wells, will not refuse!"
"En!" Chen Rui nodded, estimating that he might be the first human she had ever seen, the bravest and least brave were actually the same person. However, Athena's friend reminded him of the two dragon aphorisms that the poisonous dragon said today, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
"This antidote pill tastes very spicy, and the throat is like a fire, I'm afraid that the little princess won't eat it. She's very smart, and she has to think of something to do, or she will be noticed. ”
Chen Rui thought for a while and said: "I'll figure out a way for this, you remember not to be seen by her, it's as good as usual, the matter of the poisonous dragon must not be leaked." ”
Athena nodded and said, "Don't worry, as well as the matter of your acceptance of the inheritance, I will never tell anyone, this is what His Royal Highness Xia has ordered." ”
"Don't think about unhappy things, I'll continue to tell you about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This time I want to talk about the classic battle of the strong men of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu. Chen Rui put his mind at ease and was determined to compensate Athena in terms of story, "Lu Bu is the strongest person, the artifact he uses is a Fang Tian painting halberd, and the divine beast under the seat is called Chitu ......"
Athena's eyes lit up and she began to listen intently. ,
When the triangular rhino arrived at the gate of Dark Moon City, Chen Rui and Athena were taken aback, only to see that little Lori Alice was puffing her waist and blocking the city gate, with a helpless look of Ji Ya behind her, and there were many soldiers next to her, led by a burly and strong long-horned demon clan.
Chen Rui recognized this horned demon as the little leader of the city guard, and he was especially respectful to Athena when the two of them went out of the city in the morning.
Athena and Chen Rui came down from the triangular rhino, Alice looked like "the princess is unhappy, the consequences are very serious", and the first sentence was: "Athena, you are too uninteresting! You actually secretly went to Lanbo Lake to play without me! If it wasn't for Gangke reporting to me, I wouldn't know!"
Chen Rui hurriedly explained: "Little princess, Athena was entrusted by Master Aldas to protect me to go to Lanbo Lake to collect medicine......
"Shut up, you cunning human!" the horned demon named Gangke rudely interrupted Chen Rui's explanation, "I now suspect that you are colluding with the thieves outside the city, come here!"
"Qiang!" The big sword behind Athena was already unsheathed, and a compelling momentum emanated, and a cold murderous intent appeared in her beautiful red pupils: "Chen Rui is my friend, whoever dares to move will cut off his head!"
Athena's father was George, the first general of the Empire, who was famous and famous for his swordsmanship, so the soldiers did not dare to step forward for a while. Gangke couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Athena defending humanity like this, and shouted, "Lord Athena, don't be deceived by this guy!"
Athena waved her hand, the big sword turned, and slapped the back of the sword towards Gangke, Gangke hurriedly raised the hammer in his hand with both hands to parry, and with a golden and iron blow, the horned demon known for Liliang was no match for Athena's one-handed blow, and the whole person was shorter, and his two ankles had fallen into the soil.
