Chapter Seventy-Six: The Encounter at the Princess's Place

When he woke up, it was already noon the next day, Chen Rui felt that his mental strength had recovered about thirty percent, and he drank another bottle of the rejuvenating elixir that he had exchanged. Although I figured out the mystery of the in-depth analysis last night, there is a price to pay for rushing to achieve it. Spiritual power is not only the driving force for casting magic, but also the source of will and induction, in the case of insufficient mental power, reluctant training will be counterproductive, so Chen Rui plans to wait until he is fully recovered before starting to practice.

He once shiyan entered the ordinary training ground of the time rule, but the time rule could not be effective for the recovery of mental power in this situation, so he had to retreat again, wasting two thousand spiritual energy in vain, and it seemed that he could only recover by potion and sleep. Deep analysis is indeed powerful, but in the future, this skill must be used with caution.

It is estimated that in two more days, the spiritual power can be fully recovered, and in terms of time, it can be supplemented by the rules of the training ground, but now it seems that a large amount of aura is still needed, and it was a bit impulsive to drink the black elixir at that time, but in the face of the temptation that drinking the elixir can increase the permanent length of liliang, it is already good to be able to leave 120,000 aura.

Counting the True Strength Elixir given to Aldas for exchange and the 20,000 Spiritual Qi consumed by the in-depth analysis last night, there are only 90,000 Spiritual Qi left. Reiki is like money, it comes and goes quickly, but between this coming and going, what grows is its own strength, and there is nothing to regret.

The black potion also has the eternal body and the eternal thought that have not been exchanged, and the budget is 200,000 aura, eight times the gravity, ten times the time rule and even a hundred times the time rule, and more aura is needed. I got 160,000 black crystal coins from Silva last time, and now there are about 80,000 left, but now the aura materials on the market are not much left under the looting of the old goblins some time ago.

However, Chen Rui had already had an idea, otherwise he would not have hastily exchanged for the black potion.

That is Xilang Mountain, the "waste mine" of Xilang Mountain is a waste product that cannot be used by ordinary people; for Chen Rui, it is a much-needed source of aura, and it is a lot of it! Judging from the data, this kind of waste ore appeared four hundred years ago, and it is likely to be produced by some special "pollution" of underground demonic beasts, that is to say, Xilang Mountain has accumulated hundreds of years of "waste ore", even if a piece can only provide ten digits of aura, it is far inferior to magic materials in terms of "quality", but in terms of "quantity" On the other hand, it is quite a terrifying statistic.

Danger and opportunity are always accompanied by twins, Chen Rui decided to go to Xilang Mountain before the duel with Araux, but before that, he had to get a map, otherwise he would fly like a headless fly, even if there was a bipedal flying dragon, it would be a waste of time.

Just as Chen Rui was thinking, the little devil knocked on the door: "Master, are you there?"

Under normal circumstances, Sili would not be bothered rashly, Chen Rui got up and opened the door: "What's the matter, Sili." ”

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, please come to the council chamber. ”

Chen Rui knew that Xia would not interrupt his "Inheritance Trial" for no reason, there must be something important, and now that his spiritual power had not recovered, it was not suitable for cultivation, so he immediately rushed to the council hall.

In the conference hall, in addition to Xia Ya, there is also a beautiful figure that Chen Rui has not seen for a long time, counting the time in the training ground, it has been several months, to be honest, I still miss it a little, especially when he broke through at the moment of life and death, this figure is one of the reasons that inspired him to explode.

"Chen Rui!" A familiar voice sounded, with a bit of surprise, familiar short purple hair, familiar red eyes, but the blush on the always bold face showed a little strangeness.

"Athena!" Chen Rui was also very happy, "You have completely adapted to the high-level liliang?"

"Yes, but now I can only barely reach the level of the advanced early stage, and it will be more and more difficult in the future. Athena nodded vigorously and stared at him for a moment, her face suddenly turned into worry with excitement, "What's wrong with you?

Due to the in-depth analysis of the sequelae, Chen Rui's current mental state is very bad, and Athena can see it at a glance.

"Yes, something went wrong, but it's fine, just rest for a few days. ”

Feeling Athena's undisguised concern, Chen Rui's heart was hot, only to hear Xia also speak: "In terms of tasks, don't be too reluctant, and the cloak meeting you mentioned last time has become one of the reserves of the Praetorian Guard." ”,

"I see, eldest princess. ”

Chen Rui heard that the first half of Xia Ya's sentence was vaguely concerned, talking about the "inheritance test", although he looked very cold in front of Athena, he was still quite useful in his heart. The second half of the sentence shows Xia Ya's attitude towards the matter of "Agulie", and undoubtedly agrees with Chen Rui's trust in Agulie.

However, if it was just Athena and the Cloak Society, Xia probably wouldn't have summoned him to the council chamber and waited for her to follow.

"Tomorrow morning is the time for the quarterly meeting, and you have to come to it. ”

I seem to have heard Royce say that it is rare to take two days off, but he still has to work overtime, and I don't know if he can win employee benefits......

"Originally, I didn't want you to attend this regular meeting, but Joseph and several family representatives wanted to meet you, the new secretary, by name, and it was hard to refuse. This is a normal request, but Joseph will not be unreasonable, and beware of him using your human identity to make a fuss at regular meetings. If you really can't, you can resign as a chronicler. ”

Chen Rui then understood, it turned out that it was a smiling tiger who was making trouble behind his back, and he definitely didn't have a good heart, it seems that tomorrow's regular meeting is still better to be careful. However, as Xia said, if you can't do it, you won't be this chronicler, and if you don't want to, you will be strong, and you won't give Joseph a chance to play on the topic. Ehiah's trust in him was to do whatever he had to do.

Seeing him nodding his head, Xia knew that Chen Rui already knew it, so he didn't say much, and put a space bracelet on the table: "This is the best rattan stone that Joseph brought back from the Red Shadow Territory, Alice told me that her six pieces have been promised to be given to you, so the hundred pieces of this, as well as this space bracelet, are all yours." ”

A hundred! not sixty-six?

Chen Rui showed a look of surprise, and almost learned from the old goblin to say "The eldest princess's generosity is comparable to the two moons of the demon world", but he knew that Xia didn't like to listen to this kind of empty talk, so he simply said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

That space bracelet is just a chicken rib for Chen Rui, who is in the storage warehouse, and he has already seized Silva's space ring, not to mention that after entering the evil realm, the capacity of the storage warehouse has expanded a lot, and now there is more space and less things. However, storage space equipment is relatively rare equipment in the demon world, which is also the heart of the beautiful boss, of course, you have to laugh.

Xia Ya nodded slightly, looked at Chen Rui, and then at Athena, suddenly lowered her eyelids, fell her gaze on the copy in her hand, and said without raising her head: "Athena just finished her practice, and she hasn't seen Alice yet." Go to Princess's Place, I'm sure Alice will be very happy to see you. ”

Athena also wanted to see Alice, so she said goodbye and left the palace with Chen Rui. ・

"Chen Rui, didn't the eldest princess assign you a task for two months, how did you complete it?"

"There's still half left," Chen Rui thought of one thing, "By the way, Athena, have you ever been to Xilang Mountain?"

"Well, in my first year in Darkmoon, I went to that area to practice," Athena nodded, "but at that time, thieves hadn't started harassing the mines. ”

"So...... If you ride a bipedal flying dragon, how long will it take to get there?" Chen Rui saw that there were few people nearby, and asked in a low voice.

"Do you want to train to fly long-distance beasts?" Athena's eyes lit up.

Chen Rui naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and asked according to her conjecture: "Actually, this is just an assumption, can you answer me?"

Athena blinked and replied, "Although the flying ability of the bipedal wyvern is strong, it also has limits, and you must choose a place to rest and feed the wyvern on the way, and then choose a safe place to sleep at night. If you go alone, even if you have a map, it may take about six days. So, if you decide to do this kind of training, you can save at least half the time if you have an experienced guide. ”

Athena is not that kind of old fox after all, the urgent expression on her pretty face has already written the words "I am the guide", Chen Rui smiled slightly, but he was thinking in his heart: six days, the round-trip trip is twelve days, and it will only take less than a month to fight Alaux, the time is really urgent, is it really necessary to take this guide with him?

As he was talking, the two of them had come to the princess's place, only to see the guests walking out of it one after another, and they kept looking back, as if something had happened in the store. ,

Chen Rui and Athena walked in to take a look, only the succubus and the little bad demon were left on the first floor, and Kagul, who was in charge of "security", was gone, and a group of people were blocking the staircase on the second floor, and the two hurriedly approached.

"Athena!"

A greeting at the entrance of the second floor made Athena's brow furrow, and her good mood suddenly became bad, and everyone heard it and got out of the way.

Speaking out was one of Athena's most hated people, the sheriff and guard general Alan Caron.

"It turned out to be Athena, and our new Dark Moon Chronicler, His Excellency Chen Rui. ”

The voice of another laughing knife also sounded, which also made Chen Rui feel uncomfortable, but he still bowed slightly politely: "Lord Joseph." ”

It turned out that the two sides of the confrontation were Joseph and Allen, and Joseph was still smiling, but Royce and Vasasha behind him showed strong hostility towards Allen's group.

Although Allen has more subordinates, there is no high-level demon, and he looks cowering under the pressure of that momentum, and there is a smell of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat. Mainly because the strongest high-level demons of the Caron family, Salado and Araux, were both defeated, and Mikas died again, and Allen's hands could not hold a strong person who could support the scene for a while, so he could only rely on the number to barely bluff people.

"Your Excellency the Chronicler seems to be unwell?" Joseph saw that Chen Rui was in low spirits and asked with concern.

Chen Rui knew that this was a weasel giving a chicken a New Year's greeting, and replied: "Let the adults laugh, I have not been in good shape since I was a child, and I have been seriously ill recently, and I haven't come out to do much." ”

Joseph glanced at Athena and smiled meaningfully: "I see, no wonder even the genius girl of our Great Demon Clan has barely shown up recently. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Rui only felt that two fire-breathing eyes fell on his face, it was Allen, Chen Rui was used to this kind of look, and completely ignored it. It's just that Joseph transferred Allen's anger to Chen Rui with a single sentence, and his intentions were indeed sinister.

"Athena, your practice is finally over?" the two groups were separated, and Alice's voice of surprise rang out.

This time, everyone is together.
