The camp master on the side touched it lightly, and the focused dark goblin master suddenly woke up, only then did he notice Isabella's call, and said to Xia: "I need a piece of the best moonstone, if you can find it for me, I am willing to help you make three magic items that are not lower than the excellent level." ”

Although the best moonstone is a very rare material, Master Xingxing's magic jewelry is considered to be the top level in the entire demon world, and the promised magic items are guaranteed to be at least at the excellent level, which is definitely worth it.

Jewelry is different from weapons or armor, due to the flexibility of the volume, can be more haode to play a magical function, Chen Rui has seen many magic props of Christina, all of which are quite magical.

Xia frowned and said: "According to the classics, hundreds of years ago, Dark Moon had several moonstones, among which there was a superb existence, but over the years, there has been no news, so let's do it, can the master stay in Dark Moon for a while, I will immediately send someone to find out the relevant news." ”

"Seven days at most. After thinking about it, he continued to fiddle with the hedron and ignored no one again.

Chen Rui thought of Grofen sneaking into the underground shijie, it was in order to absorb the liliang of the moonstone to alleviate the backlash of the devouring mask, and the earth element who had been sacrificed Douge also said that the underground of Xilang Mountain is a huge treasure house, in addition to the main veins of high-quality iron ore, there are also rare mineral deposits such as moonstone, dark star iron, and blood-streaked silver, and the location of the moonstone deposit is in the area of the earth.

If you want to get the three magic items made by Master Xingxing, it seems that you have to go to the Earth Domain, but Isabella and her gang seem to be preparing to stay in the Dark Moon, as the most important sheriff, they are afraid that it will be difficult to get out, and counting the underground itinerary and mining time, seven days is probably not enough.

Isabella said solemnly, "Alright, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, we can start to get into the topic." The appearance of the Beelzebub royal family made His Royal Highness the Prince Regent attach great importance to it, and the fragment of the God-Devouring Mask was lost in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, which can be said to be to blame. As you know, I have quite a lot of affairs to deal with in the Imperial Capital, and I can't stay in the Dark Moon for too long, just according to Master Xingxing's time, seven days. Within seven days, I hope that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can give me a satisfactory answer to go back and explain to the regent. ”

Xia Ya's eyes were full of cold light, and she said coldly: "Lady Isabella, are you here to assist in the investigation? Or are you here to ask for a crime? If it is to assist in the investigation, I am willing to cooperate with you, if it is to ask for a crime, you are not qualified to do so as a financial master." ”

Isabella didn't care at all about the contempt in Xia's questioning, and shook her head: "Your Highness is not only a lord, but also a royal family, you should know what the complete God-Eater Mask means, and what the surname Beelzebub means to Dark Moon and the Fallen Angel Empire. Not only did His Highness lose the fragment of the God-Eater's Mask, but he was also unable to search for the whereabouts of the Beelzebub royal family, shouldn't he accept the punishment he deserved?, but unexpectedly, His Highness Shia was a member of the royal family, so it was just some symbolic punishment...... If His Highness can't give me a satisfactory answer within seven days, then starting next quarter, the Red Nether Territory's food support for the Dark Moon will be halved. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present in the Dark Moon changed their faces, and whispered for a while, the land of the Dark Moon is barren, it is difficult to grow food, for thousands of years, the lack of food has been an unsolvable stubborn disease, even when the Dark Moon is at its most prosperous, the source of food is also dependent on "in." ”。

The Chiyou Territory saw this point, so in the name of "funding", it firmly choked the lifeblood of the Dark Moon, and now that Prince Heiyao cut off half of the food support with a single word, then the already tense food problem of the Dark Moon will become more and more prominent, and it is likely that there will be a large-scale famine.

Is this cruel sanction still called a "symbolic" punishment?

Xia slowly stood up, his cold eyes burned with anger, even the arrogant Sergei, feeling the terrible cold emanating from Xia Ya, did not dare to move for a while.

Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, an untimely voice rang out: "That lady...... May I ask you, if Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can give a satisfactory answer in seven days, there will be no reduction in food aid?",

It was Chen Rui who stood up who spoke, Xia heard Chen Rui's voice, and the chill released suddenly stopped, Isabella's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at the weak human sheriff with interest: "Your Excellency the sheriff, please accept my kind suggestion." You should go and re-learn the etiquette, your current words and speeches are presumptuous for a beautiful lady. I can answer your question though, yes. ”

"I'm sorry, it's rude, I just took office and I don't understand anything. Chen Rui continued to scratch his head without manners. "Then according to Madame's meaning, the eldest princess has now been punished, and we don't have to worry about Beelzebub?"

"Shut up!" Old Ford of the Seifer family stood up and said coldly: "Chen Rui, you foreigner, you don't understand the importance of food to Dark Moon at all! If there is a large-scale famine among the people, can you afford to pay this responsibility?"

Chen Rui also didn't have a good tone towards Old Ford: "Lord Ford is getting older, and he seems to be more forgetful, didn't Joseph say it at the meeting? After he is re-elected as the financial officer, he will increase the food aid by thirty percent, then there will be eighty percent, and the grain purchased from our Shadow Empire will be about the same!"

"Shut up!" Xia glanced back at Chen Rui, as if scolding him for not divulging important news, but his gaze became firm: "Since this is the case, the matter of Beelzebub will be handed over to a few special commissioners of the imperial capital, I believe that the vision of His Royal Highness the regent will definitely eliminate the biggest hidden danger of the empire." As you can see, Darkmoon's affairs are very busy, and I can't entertain you for long. So...... Seven days later, I await your answer, Lady Isabella. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then I have the right to demand that the so-called symbolic punishment be withdrawn!"

The Dark Moon everyone was relieved, and they all showed "so it is" expressions, only the old Ford, who was "evil" with Chen Rui, showed a look of resentment, in fact, he admired the quick wit of this sheriff who saved his son's life. Even if Joseph really took out more than thirty percent, the total amount of grain was less than eighty percent, and as for the Shadow Empire's purchase of grain, it was pure fiction.

However, the Savier family has achieved great success in meat cultivation over the years, and he knows part of Xia's grain Jihua Old Ford, and Dark Moon's current grain umbrella should be unprecedentedly sufficient, and he is not afraid of this kind of sanction from the imperial capital, but these are all "secret weapons." "I can't show the wind for the time being.

Chen Rui's reckless interjection not only calmed people's hearts, but also enabled the eldest princess to seize the initiative in turn.

Isabella's emerald eyes swept over Chen Rui, who was silent behind Xia Ya, and was secretly surprised, she had effectively hit the morale of Dark Moon and smashed a heavy burden towards Xia Ya, who knew that she was muddled by the gag of this sheriff who didn't know anything for a while, and was actually seized by Xia to treat others in her own way, and smashed the burden back.

"Then, I want to ask rudely, the eldest princess......" Isabella stood up, and just when everyone thought she was going to make a sharp speech, she suddenly showed a charming smile: "I have heard that the dark moon is hospitable, weishenme We have been here for so long, and the welcome ball has not yet begun to prepare?"

This sentence made the atmosphere ease all of a sudden, and everyone smiled, Chen Rui secretly said that this woman has clever means, and a joke diverted the topic, and quietly started a new round.

Thea seemed to have forgotten the-for-tat discussion of the dinner and the ball.

After the dinner, it was a regular welcome ball, and Athena seemed to have a further understanding of Liliang for the past two days, and had been in retreat in the lower level of the arena, and the guards were handed over to Araux to be in charge of training, so she did not attend tonight.

Unlike the last Master Challenge, although Chen Rui is still a human without liliang, he is no longer a corner person who is not cared for, and several women have invited him to dance, of course, because of the sheriff's identity. It's a pity that Chen Rui was really not interested in this kind of activity, so he politely declined.

The dance party in the demon world was much less than the rules of human beings, it was very casual, Chen Rui slowly moved to an inconspicuous corner, picked up a glass of red fruit wine, and waited for this tedious activity to end early. The most popular at the ball was Isabella, who had changed into a black evening dress and exuded seductive charm in her elegant temperament. After dancing with Sergei, the butterfly-like dance has attracted the attention of most people, and people keep inviting her to dance. ,

The contrast is Thea, which can be said to be uncared for, in fact, Thea's beauty is not inferior to Isabella, but everyone knows that she never accepts anyone's invitation, so no one wants to touch the nail.

"Hmph! coquettish woman!" Alice's dissatisfied voice sounded beside Chen Rui. It turned out that Xiao Luo had been paying attention to Chen Rui, and finally walked away from her sister, and finally came to Chen Rui's side as she wished, and she still had a glass of wine secretly in her hand.

"Alice. Chen Rui snatched the wine glass from Xiao Luo's hand, "You can't drink." ”

Alice glared at him: "Hmph......"

This Luo Lì suddenly thought of something, "stare at whom, who will burn the cake", his expression changed, and his big eyes blinked with a bright light, and he said obediently: "Brother, people listen to you, can you dance with others?"

Chen Rui hurriedly shook his head: "I've never danced, I really can't dance." ”

Not counting in his previous life, he really hasn't danced since he was reborn, and this kind of court dance is very complicated, he really can't.

"Never skipped it?" Xiao Luo's eyes lit up, she leaned closer, and whispered: "Then brother's first time, give it to Alice!"

"Poof" Chen Rui squirted out all the wine in one gulp, this word is too ambiguous!

Alice exclaimed, looking at the red wine splashed on her skirt, and was about to cry aggrievedly: "This is someone's favorite evening dress!"

"I'm sorry......" Chen Rui hurriedly put down the wine glass, and sure enough, he saw that Alice's yellow dress had a large red spot on it, and he couldn't wipe it off.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Luo, who pretended to cry, won completely, and Chen Rui, who was in a loss, appeared on the dance floor.

The court dance of the demon world is a bit similar to the pas de deux ballroom dance of the European court in the fifteenth century, there is no hugging action, but it is very cumbersome, and there are many rules, Chen Rui followed Alice to exchange a few positions, and he felt in a hurry, just at this time Isabella had already danced the second dance with Sergei.

Sergei is obviously proficient in this, skillfully changing movements and dance steps, his beautiful posture and handsome appearance have attracted the attention of many demon women around, of course, the most attractive is the glamorous Isabella, the two stand together, can be described as a talented woman, and is definitely the focus of the entire ball.

In contrast, Chen Rui and Alice on the side have become a contrast. Originally, Alice danced well by herself, but because she had to cooperate with and guide Chen Rui, it seemed very awkward, but Xiao Luo was not angry and had been teaching him patiently.

Chen Rui accidentally bumped into the person behind him when he changed positions, and hurriedly daoqian, and the movements behind him couldn't keep up.

Seeing this, Sergei deliberately pulled Isabella closer, and smiled contemptuously: "Hillbilly, get out of the way, the dance floor is not a place for scum like you." ”

Before Chen Rui could speak, Alice had already said angrily: "Nasty ghost!

"The princess of the royal family of the dark moon is nothing more than that, she can't even dance well. Sergei looked at Alice with disdain, and suddenly added maliciously: "It's because of the lack of discipline since childhood." ”

Alice's father, Prince Green, died very early, which touched Xiao Luo's injury, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he clenched the hand he was shaking with Chen Rui.

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Sergei lightly, and remained silent. Chen Rui saw Xiao Luo's sad appearance, and was secretly angry at Sergei's inferiority in his heart, and immediately ridiculed him: "No wonder the Ruth family has always been inferior to the Wells family, it turns out that they can only bully girls." ”

"What are you talking about!" Sergei's father, Doren Ruth, has always been ranked below Athena's father, General George, and is known as the second general, Sergei is the most taboo for others to say this, and he is furious, and his eyes are full of murder.

"Do you still want to attack me, a human who has no liliang?" Chen Rui was not afraid, "Don't forget, this is the dance floor, if you don't want to dance, please leave." ”

"Even you, a hillbilly, deserve to dance, two words?" Sergei showed a ruthless look, his mind turned, stopped dancing, transported out of Liliang, and said loudly: "Everyone, please pause!"

The crowd stopped dancing and the music stopped.

"Your Excellency the Sheriff just said that I would see a real court pas de deux, and I am looking forward to it. Sergei pointed at Chen Rui and said, "Now let's enjoy the beautiful dance of His Excellency the Sheriff and His Royal Highness the Little Princess of the Dark Moon." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, everyone had seen Chen Rui's level before, presumably Sergei was doing this on purpose, Isabella still kept smiling, neither stopping nor encouraging, Sergei's methods were inferior, but it was not bad to be able to humiliate Dark Moon with this...... PS: The coming of the imperial capital is not a transition, it is a necessary plot, and you will know the details later. Today will be an update of more than 7,000 words, and it will be close to fifteen thousand in two days, asking for support.
