Today is the third day of Thea's visit to Blood Vitex, and the arena is playing the most exciting battle ball game in the Blood Vitex Territory, with the Dark Moon Red Blood Team facing the Blood Vitex Wolf Tooth team, and the only son of General Cafu, who had studied Battle Ball in the Dark Moon, and several accompanying learners appeared in the Wolf Tooth team representing Blood Thorn this time.

This is currently the strongest high-level demon group, the competition of high-level demons is faster and more intense, the control and jishu are relatively stronger, and of course, the magic array in the stadium is also more restrictive, and there will be no scenes that the audience can't see.

The friendly match was one of the items of Xia Ya's visit and exchange, and after the news spread, many fans of the imperial capital, including some upper-class nobles, rushed to Bloody Thorn Flower City in advance, causing the local hotels to be almost full, and the limited tickets were sold to a terrifying price.

A whistle sounded, the game began, although there were several main Monroe forces, but the ball game could not be won by one or two people, and soon the red blood team of the dark moon had the upper hand, whether it was individual or overall cooperation, they showed extremely strong strength, and the audience was amazed, it turned out that the ball could still be kicked like this!

As the birthplace of the battle ball, it is reasonable that Dark Moon is a cut above the strength, but the audience of Blood Vitex is still desperately cheering for their team, even after the home team conceded two goals in a row, it is still hot.

As a midfielder, Monroe shouted loudly to remind his teammates, while organizing an effective attack, launching one of the most threatening defensive counterattacks, but his teammates hit the post with a kick, and the whole stadium immediately resounded with regret. And Dark Moon took the opportunity to launch another counterattack and scored another goal. Three to zero.

Monroe calmly organized his teammates to compress the defense, and after the tackle, he dribbled the ball past the opposing defender alone, and just when a few Dark Moon defenders quickly came back to make up for the defense and form a bag, Monroe unexpectedly separated the ball and handed it to his teammate who was inserted, and this time the teammate lived up to Monroe's pass and scored with a powerful shot.

In an instant, the entire arena was boiling, almost all the spectators cheered, many shouted the names of Monroe and the goal-scoring team, and some female fans even took off their tops to celebrate, and the beating double balls became a beautiful scenery on the field, and the fanaticism was no less than that of another fan known to Chen Rui.

General Cafu nodded secretly, with a look of relief in his eyes, there should not be much suspense about the outcome of the game, and the significance of the goal itself is actually limited, the key is the calmness shown by his son on the field, and Zuihou is not greedy for merit at all times, his trust in his teammates and teamwork spirit are commendable, if he is replaced by the arrogant genius boy before, this situation will definitely not be seen, it seems that the past few months of going to the dark moon have indeed gained a lot.

The ball game is finally over, and the Red Blood Team of Dark Moon has released some water in the back, allowing the Wolf Tooth Team to score two more goals, and the final result is still fixed at 7-3 Although his team lost, he was able to score three goals in Dark Moon, which had already made the audience of Blood Vitex quite satisfied, and they all felt that it was worth the trip. I've heard that there will be a friendly match between the Intermediate Demon Group tomorrow, and the excitement at that time can also be imagined

The group returned to the Lord's Mansion, and Cartford invited Xia and Chen Rui to the council chamber.

"Thank you to the players of the Dark Moon for bringing such a wonderful ball game to the people of the Blood Vitex," Cafu said with a smile on his face, "By the way, I have specially invited a few imperial chefs from the Imperial Capital, and at tonight's banquet, His Highness Xia and all the guests will taste the most delicious special dishes of our Shadow Empire."

Xia nodded politely: "Well, very much looking forward to it." ”

"By the way, Your Highness has been in my Blood Vitex Territory for three days, and has visited and inspected many places, I don't know if there are any suggestions? As he spoke, his eyes fell on the human treasurer. The eldest princess of Darkmoon is indeed an excellent leader who is talented and good at using people, and this human financial official is the most outstanding representative of capable ministers, and Darkmoon's economic development is almost inseparable from his planning. ...,

"Don't dare to advise, Chen Rui, if you have any ideas, you might as well express them. Xia understood what Kafu meant, and glanced at Chen Rui.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the two lords, Chen Rui secretly smiled bitterly: Brother is just a time-traveler from another world, at most he is a little smart, and most of the rest are plagiarism, not some kind of capable ministers. Alright then, just keep copying... ・・・

"Actually, there are no good ideas, but judging from the popularity of today's event, the battle ball in the Blood Thorn Flower Territory is currently quite influential, and even the surrounding territories and the emperor of your country are fascinated by it. Then we might as well make a fuss in this regard and use the Battle Ball to expand the influence of the Blood Thorn Territory, which will drive the rapid development of the economy. Didn't the general notice that in the past few days of the ball game, all walks of life in Blood Thorn Flower City seemed to have benefited a lot?"

"What does Your Excellency Chen Rui mean by holding more competitions to promote economic development?"

"It's not that we have to do more, but every game should be exciting, we can use friendly matches between the people and the military, or we can exchange cities like we have today, and when there are more cities with teams in the future, we can also hold the hottest leagues, but it's too early to say that. I mean, you can use the Battle Ball itself to increase your income now, in addition to the income from tickets and gambling, you can also open a Battle Ball merchandise store, just before you come to your territory to visit, Darkmoon's "Fan Shop" has been completed and opened, mainly to sell the team's jerseys, team emblems, team flags, accessories, Carvings and all kinds of small magic objects to cheer on, etc., can also be sold in limited quantities by those players who are loved by everyone・・・・・・ this kind of fan shop can be directly operated by the official or authorized to sell in a limited number of private chain stores, judging from the current situation of the Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire, the popularity of battle balls is already a trend, and it is likely to spread to the entire Demon Realm in the future, and the direct benefits and huge economic benefits that will be brought by that time are not necessary for me to repeat to the general.

Kafu listened carefully, kept bowing his head, and the female clerk on the side was recording quickly, and finally showed admiration, and exclaimed: "If it weren't for His Royal Highness Xia Ya, I would have liked to encircle His Excellency Chen Rui, His Royal Highness can have this kind of internal affairs talent, it is really enviable! Thank Your Excellency for your valuable advice, this fan store, I will start preparing immediately!"

"The general has won the award, and the general's courage is really admirable. Chen Rui was a little embarrassed, he just copied it, and it was indeed an exaggeration.

After a few polite remarks, Cafu happily agreed to Thea's requests for further cooperation, and then gave the clerk a wink, and the clerk retired with several officials.

Kafu showed a hesitant look: "There is one more thing, which was originally a little difficult to talk about, but it is related to the most important interests of the Blood Vitex Territory, so I still plan to say it and ask Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess...... Don't hesitate to help. ”

Xia Ya and Chen Rui glanced at each other and said, "General, please say, whether it is the cooperative relationship between the two places or our personal friendship, I will do my best to help." ”

"To hide it from Your Highness, in the northern part of the Blood Thorn Territory, in the Black Iron Mountain Range that straddles the Shadow Empire and the Blood Demon Empire, there is a misty swamp with a crystal valley in the swamp. Chen Rui's heart moved, and he listened to Cafu continue: "In the underground of the Crystal Valley, there is a large crystal ore vein, which has only recently been discovered, and this will become the most important resource in the Blood Thorn Flower Territory. ”

Crystal Ore Vein?Xia was slightly moved, Crystal Ore is a universal magic crystal coin in the Demon Realm, and according to the purity of refining, it can be used as a universal currency and a high-grade magic crystal material. The crystal ore vein symbolizes great wealth, and it is unthinkable that there is a "big" crystal ore vein under such a barren land as the Blood Vitex...,

This crystal ore vein was told to Catherine by Chen Rui at the beginning, and it seems that he also deceived a certain empress Bixia for a kiss, however, the crystal ore is the biggest secret of the territory, and it is also an important secret of the Shadow Empire, even if Dark Moon is now very friendly with Kafu, it should not be revealed, what is this request?

Kafu sighed and said, "Last time, His Highness gave him a Devil Fruit, so that the middle stage of the Demon Emperor where I had been stationed for many years finally broke through, and my only son Monroe was under the care of His Highness in the Dark Moon, and he made rapid progress. I am a soldier, and I am not good at expressing gratitude in words, and this friendship of His Highness is something that I remember in my heart. The crystal ore vein is one of the secrets of the blood vitex, and Catherine Bixia of the imperial capital also attaches great importance to this resource, and I have issued a military order to guarantee that the preliminary mining work will be completed within the specified time, and the amount of crystal ore will be handed over. However, some difficulties have arisen in the process of mining, and if they cannot be resolved, they will not be able to fulfill the requirements of the Empress Bixia on time, and according to the military order, I will resign from all positions in the territory and the military・・・・・・"

Xia and Chen Rui were secretly surprised, through this series of cooperation, Cafu is an important figure in the military, and has established a lot of friendship with Dark Moon and Xia Ya, and is currently the most suitable partner for the Shadow Empire. Once he is forced to resign and replace him as the Lord of the Blood Thorn Flower, I am afraid that unforeseen things will happen, which will naturally be quite unfavorable to Dark Moon.

Xia nodded, already understood: "General, now it's just about you and my personal relationship, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask." ”

Cafu nodded: "Then I'll make it clear, it seems that a strange magic array has been laid in the crystal ore vein, which cannot be mined normally, and it has also lost many miners. Not long ago, I went to the Imperial Capital to invite Master Rummenigge, a friend of the Smiths Alliance, but after the master entered the crystal ore vein, he disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and I can hardly explain it to his family. The matter of the crystal mine has made me anxious, and I have almost no way out, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can find a way to help?"

Chen Rui was puzzled in his heart: It stands to reason that as one of the important bases of blood annihilation, the Crystal Valley has completely collapsed after Catherine defeated the three major demon emperors, and there should be no danger, there will be such a strange incident in Weishenme?

The Rummenigge master mentioned by Cafu is an old acquaintance of Chen Rui, when Chen Rui participated in the Shadow Imperial Capital's Maker Contest as "Arthur", he was cared for by Rummenigge to a great extent, and the first meeting gave him a book on the basics of the artifact and a master recommendation badge that could pass the preliminaries. Later, Chen Rui was troubled by Master Leo in the competition, and it was Master Rummenigge and another Master Xhosa who stepped forward to thwart Leo's attack. Even after Chen Rui officially became a master of weaponry, Rummenigge took the initiative to give him his research time for the Ancient Magic Tower.

Although Master Rummenigge also has the original intention of recruiting talents for the Shadow Empire, Chen Rui's principle is favored by people, and when the spring reciprocates, now that Rummenigge has disappeared in the crystal ore vein, Chen Rui should go to the rescue in both public and private.

It seems that it is time to revisit the old land of Crystal Valley.

(I just came back from a business trip, I am very tired, and the next stage of work may be very busy.) Clear
