Chapter Seventy-Eight: Proposal for the Regular Meeting!
Joseph walked slowly down the road, with a smile on his face and a gloom in his eyes, as he had been since he came out of the princess's place.
As he passed through an uninhabited alley, Joseph stopped on his feet and said categorically: "That human must die." ”
When Royce heard this, he asked in surprise, "My lord, that human being is nothing more than an incompetent person, weishenme......"
Joseph said with a solemn look in his eyes: "I saw a lot of things in the princess's room just now, not only commodities, but also some potential mysteries, these things, even if you look at the entire demon world, are also great innovations. In other words, it is likely that he is from outside the Demon Realm, and the human who came from the ground is the biggest suspicion......"
"Also, I bid with Alan just now, not to teach him a lesson, but to raise the price, and then buy that Kong Ming lock and give it to him, so that I can show favor to the little princess and Alan at the same time. I know Allen's character very well, as long as you give him this face, reconciliation is not a difficult thing. Joseph's face became more and more gloomy: "I didn't expect that human to see through my intentions and quietly give the little princess a hint, so the little princess will do that, in this way, the relationship between the Karon family and us will be even worse, if it is not solved as soon as possible, it may be used by Kanita again." ”
"Is that human really so powerful, can he influence the little princess's decision?" Royce showed a sudden expression, and he had a new understanding of the "master" in his heart, and it was indeed a great talent to be affirmed by Joseph's character.
"If my guess is correct, the person behind Princess Fang is Chen Rui. The prosperity of the princess square today depends on this human being, so Alice obeyed him, and with just one look, he actually understood all the intentions. ”
Speaking of this, Joseph was inexplicably murderous in his eyes: "Since this human appeared in Darkmoon City, a series of changes have taken place, whether it is the Master Challenge or the Air Competition and the Princess Fang, not to mention his amazing talent, even if he is useless, just bringing good luck to the eldest princess's side, I will try to get rid of him!"
If Chen Rui hears this now, he doesn't know how he feels, in fact, he didn't completely see through Joseph's intentions, it was purely crooked, but Joseph's wisdom is really not comparable to Allen and his ilk, and he has already concluded that Princess Fang is behind his planning, and he also links the Master Challenge with air competition, and even has the so-called "luck theory" factor.
"My lord, I'll leave this matter to me. Royce's mind turned, and he immediately asked.
Although Joseph was very intelligent, he could not have imagined that this capable subordinate had become a servant of the human race, and this request for war was nothing more than a thief shouting to catch a thief, and he wanted to secretly communicate with the "enemy".
"Royce, I know you're obsessed with the Magic Shop, and you want to make up for it. As I said, you're not responsible for this, and it's because of that bastard Alan. Joseph glanced at Vasasha, who was expressionless at Royce, and smiled slightly, "As for Chen Rui, I have already planned. In fact, it is too easy to assassinate this human, I need his death to be more valuable, the eldest princess is currently watching me and Eren lively very leisurely, since this is the case, let her also be troubled for a while. ”
"Understood. Royce bowed slightly, a faint glint in his lowered eyes.
The next morning, the quarterly meeting began.
There were many people who attended the regular meeting, Chen Rui only knew Joseph and Allen, and the rest, such as the patriarch of the Sever family, Ford, the patriarch of the Mellon family, Carl, and the rest of the representatives of small and medium-sized families, had only seen it in that information.
Chen Rui quietly opened the eye of analysis and included everyone's strength in his eyes one by one.
Lady Boss Thea - Race: Arrogant Royalty. Strength Assessment: Impossible to judge.
Old Gauss, the butler, - Race: Servant Demon. Strength Assessment: D.
Joseph the Smiling Tiger - Race: Archdemon. Strength Assessment: C.
Trash Talk King Allen - Race: Archdemon. Strength Assessment: E.
Elder of the Sevher Family, Ford - Race: Archdemon. Strength Assessment: D.
Karl, the patriarch of the Mellon family, is the archdemon of the race. Strength Assessment: D.
......
Now that Chen Rui's own strength has reached the D level, when using the Analytical Eye, Joseph's strength assessment is no longer "unjurious", but is displayed as a C level, and Xia A's strength is still unexpectedly unjudgeable. Chen Rui is already quite proficient in using the Eye of Analysis, knowing that this skill can analyze a level of strength higher than his own, and if he exceeds it, he will not be able to judge. ,
The highest strength present is Xia, followed by Joseph, who should reach the level of the demon king, and the worst is Alan and the representatives of several small families, as Xia said, Alan really can't be killed at present, otherwise where to find a sheriff with such strength and brains?
The analysis of Xia's arrogant royal family made Chen Rui a little curious, remembering that Athena once mentioned that the current three royal empires in the demon world are the Fallen Angel Empire representing "arrogance", the Bloody Empire representing "greed", and the Shadow Empire representing "desire". In the heyday of the Demon Realm, there were seven great empires, and for thousands of years, only these three royal families remained, and the remaining four royal families either served and depended, or disappeared. Arrogance, greed, lust...... Sounds familiar.
It's just that Xia is only twenty-three years old, and her strength that can't be judged is at least the Great Demon King, how does she practice?
Also, as a serving demon, the ordinary upper limit should be mid-level, that is, E-level, and now it is displayed as D-level, and it seems that he is a guy with a mutated bloodline.
Chen Rui was observing, and a concerned voice sounded: "Your Excellency, I heard that I was in poor health some time ago, are you feeling better now?"
This voice did not comfort Chen Rui, because it was the smiling tiger Joseph who spoke out, he only asked this question yesterday, and he deliberately asked it again today, but he was afraid that he had ulterior motives.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Joseph. Chen Rui got up and saluted, "Actually, it's all because my physique is too poor, I've been sick for a while, and I haven't recovered yet." ”
Eren next to him showed undisguised disdain - a weak human being, who has only been in the Demon Realm for a long time, can't stand up to getting sick, and it is best to die of illness!
"Be sure to take care of your health," Joseph nodded meaningfully, "Otherwise, how can the eldest princess rest assured that more important duties will be entrusted to you in the future." Actually, I've always been very optimistic about you. ”
Take care of your sister! Chen Rui muttered secretly: Who doesn't know you? Shouting brother in his mouth, touching the knife behind his back.
At this time, Xia spoke: "Okay, without further ado, let's get started." ”
The regular quarterly meeting is mainly to summarize the territory situation of the current quarter and make rough arrangements for the work of the next quarter.
The previous summary is nothing more than an explanation of some major events, mainly based on the territory log that Chen Rui is responsible for. After Xia finished summing up, when asking everyone for the arrangements for next quarter's affairs, Joseph took the lead in getting up and said: "I lost a hundred vine stones to the little princess in the air competition last time, because it took time to get it together, and I had a little personal matter in the Red Shadow Territory, so I went out for a long time last month. After attending this regular meeting, I would like to ask Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess for at least two months of leave, and after I have dealt with some affairs, I will return to the Dark Moon to serve, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me. ”
Xia Ya bowed slightly, in fact, everyone knows that asking for leave is just a formality, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess hopes that the longer this financial officer goes out, the better, and it is best not to come back.
"Thank you, Your Highness, please rest assured that I will arrange all the work at hand before I ask for leave. Joseph smiled, said some work arrangements, then glanced at Chen Rui, who was recording, and said, "When I returned to the Dark Moon this time, I learned that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had an extra notekeeper by her side, and it was none other than Chen Rui, a human who had excelled in the Master Challenge and the Air Competition. In fact, I have always thought that Chen Rui is very talented, and the eldest princess's vision of knowing people is really extraordinary. ”
Joseph said this, almost all the eyes of everyone present fell on this little note-keeper, Chen Rui knew that this guy must not be well-intentioned, and was secretly vigilant, even a simple-minded guy like Allen also understood that Joseph praised Chen Rui like this, there must be a follow-up.
Sure enough, Joseph shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for being rude, in fact, in my opinion, the chronicler is overkill." Chen Rui is an apprentice of Master Aldas, proficient in pharmacy, and bold and careful, I believe that anyone who has watched the Master Challenge and the aerial competition knows it well. I'm going to recommend Chen Rui to take charge of more important work, I don't know what the eldest princess thinks?"
Xia originally expected that Joseph would make a fuss about Chen Rui, and it was likely to be suppressed or excluded, but she didn't expect it to be recommended, frowned, and said, "What work do you want to recommend Chen Rui to be responsible for?"
Joseph smiled and said: "The mining problem has always been a stubborn problem that has plagued the Dark Moon Territory for many years, as the financial officer in charge, I would like to recommend him as a mining officer, go to Xilang Mountain to show his talents, and manage the mining industry, I don't know what His Highness thinks?"
Xilangshan!Mining Officer!Xia's eyes flashed with coldness, and she immediately understood Joseph's sinister intentions.
Not only Thea, but everyone present understood the purpose of Joseph's "kind" recommendation.
The mines of Xilang Mountain were originally the largest source of resources and wealth in the Dark Moon, but in the past few hundred years, the underground demonic beasts have been rampant, and many miners have been killed. Nowadays, there are thieves from time to time, and the degree of danger is extremely high.
Not to mention that Chen Rui is a human without any liliang, even if a high-level demon goes, it is very likely that there will be no return, Joseph clearly wants to put the human race to death.
Sure enough, the human chronicler showed a strange expression, and was silent for a moment.
As soon as Alan heard this proposal, he was the first to jump out in favor of the recent bad relationship with Joseph Shili. The Mellon family immediately expressed their support for Joseph's opinion, and those families who fell to Joseph echoed it, and many people looked at Chen Rui with a sense of schadenfreude in their eyes, as if it was already a corpse.
No one knows the real reason for Chen Rui's strange expression - Xilang Mountain is exactly where he wants to go, Joseph, shouldn't he be like Alice, he knows that kind of copycat version of mind reading!
At this time, the old Ford of the Saifu family spoke: "The mining industry in Xilang Mountain has always been an important source of income for our Dark Moon, but over the years, there have been frequent disasters, there are thieves outside, and there are demonic beasts inside, and it is almost impossible to mine. This human has no strength, and I think that Lord Joseph himself is the best candidate, and if he can go there in person, he will definitely be able to solve the hidden danger and bring the Dark Moon back to life. ”
"Finance and economy are the foundation of a territory, I am the person in charge of this work, if I am demoted to the mine, what will happen to the financial situation, and who will bear this responsibility?"
Joseph said with a hint of threat, and sneered: "Old Ford, your son Tim is the former mine officer, and I also regret his disappearance, but it doesn't mean that His Excellency the Chronicler, who is valued by the eldest princess, will also be like this, are you questioning the eldest princess's human vision? Or are you retaliating against me for not letting Tim go to the mine in the first place? You know, I am out of public interest, for the development of the entire Dark Moon!"
Old Ford trembled with anger, the Severs were one of the oldest families in Darkmoon, and they had always been incompatible with Joseph, an outsider. Two years ago, Tim, the eldest son of Ford Sr., was appointed by Joseph as a mine officer, but disappeared in the mine, and has not been heard from since, and has been determined to be a dead person, so he hated Joseph to the core. The rest of the small families who supported Sia also objected, and the council chamber became noisy for a while.
The cold light in Xia's cold eyes shone straight through, as if it was about to penetrate Joseph's heart, but unfortunately the eyes could not kill, otherwise Joseph's smirking face would have become a sieve.
Joseph ignored Xia Ya's anger, and just looked at Chen Rui with a habitual smile - once this human died, the decline of Princess Fang would be a matter of time, and Xia Ya's side would also lose an important boost in business, and morale would definitely be greatly affected.
"I'm willing to go to the mine. ”
The noise suddenly fell silent, and all fell on the humans who stood up.
