Chapter 314: Pas de Deux in the Moonlight
The next day, the townspeople of Iwaguchi got a piece of good news, a bad news, and a piece of news that could be good or bad.
The good news is that the mayor of the town of the remnant bào has finally accidentally sǐ under the hands of Wang Ling Creature, and the bad news is that due to the relationship of the ancient battlefield, the area around Iwaguchi Town has been eroded by the sǐ qi and the strange liliang of the king, and has become a cursed land, and there is no fǎ to live in anymore.
Zuihou has a piece of news that the eldest princess, the lord of Dark Moon City, ordered the use of a magic fǎ array to seal the "Qi Sai Yin Watermark" to lock the town of Iwaguchi to avoid the further spread of the cursed land, and the original townspeople moved en masse to the town of Soto further south, and each household was properly compensated, although there were many people who were reluctant to leave their homes, but because the town of Iwaguchi had been haunted before. "Coupled with the cursed relationship caused by Wang Ling's creatures now, there is no choice but to leave.
The mayor of the town, Shi Ke, must be severely punished, because Shi Ke is behind the Saifu family, in order to avoid possible internal contradictions, he took advantage of the Wang Ling disaster to give him a chance to "die in the line of duty". In fact, Chen Rui was very trustworthy and handed over Shi Ke to Gulakudammu for disposal, and it would definitely not be an experiment in the shībào technique
After receiving Chen Rui's summons, Old Goss immediately arranged for the corresponding manpower and transportation of demonic beasts to assist, and did a good job of settling down in Soto Town in advance, and Athena also transferred more guards to maintain safety and order, and the migration work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Judging from the news from Old Gauss, the eldest princess and her party will soon return to Dark Moon City, accompanied by Ji Ya, thinking of Ji Ya, Chen Rui's original thoughts in his heart have become heavy, and the matter of Freya has been pressing on his heart, what should come is to come after all, or think about how to comfort her.
After the townspeople left Iwaguchi Town completely, Chen Rui and Pagley Wū began the work of "sealing", which was actually to set up dragon inscriptions and magic fǎ arrays to isolate the corresponding areas of Iwakou Town from outsiders, and to repair the originally destroyed white bone altar to help Gulakudam speed up the recovery of his soul spirit.
Since the matter of Gula Dam involves many secrets such as the dú "Set Sail without Watermark" dragon, it is not appropriate to report to Xia for the time being, so the Fei Ice Crystal Mine in Yankou Town is still sealed first, and the production will have to wait until Gula Dam's soul spirit Huá is fully recovered. Chen Rui's request for Gulakudam is very simple, Ping said that he will not disturb him, and Shiyan, who supports him as much as possible without harming the general interests of the territory and the common people, must go all out when he needs the help of Shī Wu.
If he can fully use the Wang Ling Liliang of the Ancient Battlefield, then Gulaqi Damu will be able to create a terrifying Wang Ling Great Jun, which is enough to match the Jun power of the entire Dark Moon Territory, plus the power of the Wang Ling Demon Fǎ, it is definitely a powerful secret weapon.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of one thing, he had the Minotaur and Medusa tribes of Xilang Mountain in his hands, the Western Road Defense Force in Tim's hands, the Earth Elemental Yuanren Alliance, the Cloak Society, and the Gulagudam King Ling Dajun, who was now worthy of the name, plus the help of Pagley Wū, Lomon, and Di Lìya, this kind of strength was quite strong even for the lord of a large territory. If he wanted to, it seemed that replacing Xia as the lord of the Darkmoon with an absolute advantage in force would ...... , not very difficult?
However, Chen Rui didn't want to do this kind of laborious and boring thing, he saw Xia Ya's hard work and pressure, sometimes, the kind of battlefield that didn't see Xu è was more terrible than the real raw sǐ battle, and you didn't even know when the "comrades-in-arms" behind you would tǒng you. For example, the blue melt territory, which is a white-eyed wolf who shouts brother in his mouth and mōdāo in his hand, has always pretended to be a good person behind his back
If he was really keen on Quanyuan, he would have set up fǎ to return to the ground shijie, that Jinyao territory was the richest territory of Longhuang Emperor's Yuan, and he, the third prince, was a true lord with a proper name, maybe he would be able to defeat the rest of his brothers and sisters and ascend to the throne. Now hiding in the shadows and helping Xia calculate and plan is already the limit of what he can do, and there are still some inexplicable things between the eldest princess and him......
After arranging a series of resettlement work, Chen Rui, Athena, and Pagley Wū returned to Darkmoon City, and Old Gauss told Chen Rui that Xia had returned and was waiting for him in the back of the palace.
Chen Rui disguised himself as an entourage and followed Old Gauss into the palace smoothly, and Old Gauss took him to the back garden of the inner courtyard, and then bowed and retired. ...,
Xia was still wearing a white sè long dress, looking at this strange big è demon, she was a little surprised at first, and then she revealed: "This is the genius master of the demon world? ”
"This face is not a master ......".
Chen Rui didn't explain the matter of the inheritance of the great grandmaster, his original intention was this excuse, but now Xia took the initiative to think so, naturally he saved a lot of effort, and his face changed again, becoming the appearance of a "master": "This is, however, at present, the whereabouts of this master are unknown, and nine times out of ten it is an accident." ”
Xia nodded, didn't say more in this regard, and didn't mention topics such as the genius master of the Demon Realm, and said directly: "This time I went to visit the White Feather Territory, and before parting, the lord Sikari gave me a hòu gift, and there were a lot of luxury goods, such as special decorative crystals, colorful feather máo, high-grade silk clothes, etc., as well as a group of goblins and horned magicians who are good at architecture, saying that they want to help Dark Moon repair the dilapidated palace. ”
Chen Rui shook his head and said: "This hòu gift is more like giving to the eldest princess herself than to the Dark Moon Territory, luxury goods will not alleviate the real food shortage problem of Dark Moon at present, on the contrary, those craftsmen will also increase the already tight food load of Dark Moon." Of course, if the Darkmoon is only as difficult as it seems...... , I suspect that Sikari's move is tentative, and if he wants to find out the true bottom line of Dark Moon, it cannot be ruled out that he has been instructed by the imperial capital behind it, or it is pressure. ”
The so-called friendship in the rule of zhèng, the most important thing is interests and purpose, and it is likely that at some moment, when the interests change or the goal is not achieved, it is not surprising that the face becomes an enemy.
There are still very few people who really support Xia's weak shili because of some kind of kindness and righteousness. In fact, Chen Rui knew that even he, the father-in-law, had been shaken at one time, so George General Jun just asked him to help Xia once with all his might, and he and Athena were chained to this precarious place.
The strong are respected, this is the simplest and biggest rule, you can't pin your hopes on others, you can only rely on yourself.
This is true for individuals, and for entire territories.
"You're right. Thea nodded, "By the way, Sikari seems to be quite interested in the Kia I brought. ”
Chen Rui frowned, and his impression of that Sikari was even worse, only to hear Xia say: "Originally, I should have given Ji Ya as a gift in return, but I was afraid that when a certain genius master returned, he would not see his maid and complain, so I gave a set of gifts from Princess Fang to Lord Sikari instead." ”
The last time Xia told Chen Rui that she was sent to the Custer family because of Dior's interest in Ji Ya, Chen Rui's faint displeasure fell into his eyes, and this time he naturally won't repeat the same mistakes.
"I'm pretty much clear about Ji Ya's affairs." Chen Rui sighed lightly, "Now that she is not in any threat, the Jìn Demon Ring can also be removed." ”
"She is your handmaiden, and it is up to you to dispose of the fountain. Thea's tone was rather indifferent.
Chen Rui did not stop at this question, and said: "This time I have obtained the transformation technique of the Great Grandmaster's inheritance, and the key jihua of that step has been perfected, with the current situation, it must be implemented as soon as possible, and I plan to go to the sect myself." ”
Xia sighed, "As a lord and the biggest beneficiary of this jihua, I don't want to say anything hypocritical. But from the ",... Since Xilang Mountain, you have been in danger in qīn, which is obviously not the work of a wise man. ”
"I've never said I'm a wise man, and I'm also afraid of sǐ, but this is the most crucial part of our whole plan, and no one but me can do it. And...... , I've decided. Chen Rui's tone was undoubtedly resolute, as if he was the lord, but this almost excessive resoluteness did not disgust Xia , but the ice and snow in those purple eyes faintly began to melt.
"By the way, I remember...... When the curtain opened last time, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess seemed to have promised me that when I returned after solving the problem of the Shadow "Set Sail without Watermark" Emperor Kust family, she would promise me a small request?" Chen Rui saw that the atmosphere seemed to be a little frozen, his tone changed, and his eyes became a little weird. ...,
This kind of look made Xia feel a little nervous inexplicably: "We ...... this question Later, I will say, Your Excellency Guān, it's not too early, you can go back and rest now. ”
"Later?" Chen Rui's eyes twitched ambiguously, and then he shook his head, "That's too far away, let's talk about it...... Well, let's talk about this important issue. I'm going to do one of the most dangerous things soon, and it would hurt my motivation if my lord didn't believe it. ”
"Bold!" Shia's tone became sharp, and she seemed angry: "You dare to blackmail me!"
This reaction seems to be a bit too intense, but unfortunately Chen Rui has long stopped eating this set, and sighed: "Your Highness also knows the danger of my trip, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back, can't you even satisfy my wishes?"
"Stay. Xia stared at this guy with angry eyes, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "In addition to the dance I originally promised, if you dare to have any other mess, now is your time!"
Chen Ruilu was stunned: "What kind of mess is going to be qiú, it's just that dance...... , eldest princess, could it be that you still play ",..."
Sia knew that she had fallen into the trap of words again, and was about to have a seizure, when she saw the guy come over and politely make a gesture of invitation, while at the same time, a melodious sound of automatic music rang out, wafting through the back garden.
Mixed playing, even the music is arranged, and I really came prepared!
Xia Ya's eyes almost dissected this guy, but when Chen Rui made that gesture of invitation, he involuntarily stretched out his hand.
bà, it is regarded as fulfilling the promise, as a member of the royal family of Luxi Fǎ圌, how can he not be trustworthy?
Xia, who had temporarily persuaded herself, resisted the urge to burn this guy to ashes with black flames, and let him hold his hand, and as soon as the two hands touched, it was as if electricity had passed through it, and the strange feeling of that time at the dance party came back again. The wonderful feeling of the fingertips has been liú into the heart, and the tense heart is gradually softened by this feeling, and when he hugged his shoulder, the man's breath was quite close, and the last time in front of everyone, there was no such strong feeling, and now, this Hou Huā Garden, there are only two people, him and her.
In a beautiful melody, two figures dance in the moonlight.
Since the last welcome ball from the imperial capital, Xia has not danced with anyone, especially this kind of new dance that interests her, Chen Rui's performance is much more formal than expected, which makes some of Xia gradually let go of some of her guards, to use the words Alice learned from someone to describe it, this is called gentlemanly demeanor.
As everyone knows, the so-called gentleman is just a more patient wolf.
However, for Xia Ya, who has been busy all the time, it is a rare opportunity to relax, and her steps began to become lighter, and she began to enjoy this long-lost fun, and her cooperation with Chen Rui became more and more tacit.
Chen Rui also enjoyed dancing with this ice princess, especially at such a close touch, the white jade-like skin was clearly visible, and there was a faint fresh fragrance in his nose,... If the nobles in those territories saw this scene, their jaws would drop in surprise.
"Hmph!" Xia looked at the smile on Chen Rui's face, how do she see how she has the desire to punch "set sail without watermark" look: "Isn't it funny?"
"I'm thinking, the eldest princess is true to her word, and she is worthy of my lordship. ”
"Pretty guy!" said Thea, "my lord." "There was a faint heat on his face.
"Even if Your Highness wants to take revenge, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find my people after a while. In order to prevent her from turning her face and ruining the bad atmosphere, Chen Rui hurriedly added: "I personally hope that next time I can save my life and come back to accept the eldest princess's small punishment." ”
Thea's gaze was a little dim: "Actually, this time ......." You don't have to come back. ”
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "In my cognition, there are some people and some things that are more important than other things. ”
Xia looked into his eyes: "Your efforts may not be able to get the desired return, and when the time comes, I am afraid that I will regret it." ”
I remember a book once said that there are always a few encounters in life, there are always a few mistakes, the important thing is that you have experienced it, you have met it, and you have sprinkled ....... Chen Rui didn't escape her gaze, and raised his hand with a smile, "Besides, I've been rewarded now, haven't I?"
Xia looked at his smile, and suddenly felt that his heart was beating a little fast, and the two of them didn't speak for a while, just quietly dancing to the sound of music, there were some subtle things, which didn't have to be expressed in words, and both parties could feel it.
“......”,
"weishenme's music has been repeated many times, you magic fǎ prop, ...... in the end. ”
"Uh...... It's just a little longer music, and it should be almost over......".
"No, how many dances did you dance?"
"Well, I think it's almost ......."
"It's been almost three hours!, it's time for your little trick to end!"
“...。 ”。 PS: Due to physical discomfort some time ago, Chapter 311 mysteriously disappeared under someone's tūn phagoagocy, and the later chapter number has not been modified, so let this supernatural thing "Set sail without watermark" become a suspense case, hehe.
