Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 757

[Chapter 756 Night Talk]

The bloody battle at Warlock Fortress finally came to an end, and Lei Chan agreed to the request made by the Fallen Angels and withdrew the blood demon army to the Iron Fist territory.

Kathleen and the demon emperors of the Shadow Empire entered the Warlock Fortress, and the time for the armistice negotiations between the three kingdoms was set for the next morning, in the middle of Heiyun Town.

The renovation of the Warlock Fortress and the treatment of the wounded are proceeding in an orderly manner, and Chen Rui’s return to the original tree has played an important role, especially the demon emperors who have been exhausted and seriously injured have recovered well.

The replenishment of logistical materials and troops is also being carried out as soon as possible, because the start of the peace talks does not mean a truce. The more this is the case, the less we can relax our vigilance. It is not that there have been such cases of careless defeats in history.

Kathleen simply said hello to Shia, and took her subordinates to stay in the arranged tower camp, while Lola and Pagliu went back to the Starlight Capital in the sky to recuperate.

In the evening, Chen Rui appeared outside the Yinying Empire camp.

After a while, he was invited into the camp and came to the main tent of the highest protective tower where Catherine was located. This was a remodeled mountain. In the night sky, the figure floats like a fairy.

The female demon emperor who led the way respectfully bowed to the back and stepped back, leaving only Chen Rui and Kathleen on the entire peak.

“No one would have thought that the illusory city in the sky at the concert was actually real,” Kathleen looked at the huge castle in the sky and sighed: “Tell me, what is that?”

“The City of Starlight, the ancient times The ruins of alchemy civilization.” Chen Rui did not hide it.

“By chance, I became its inheritor.”

Kathleen showed a stunned look and nodded: “It turns out that you have the inheritance of the ancient alchemy civilization, no wonder you have the black potion and incredible system. Tool talent.”

It is reasonable and reasonable to use the ancient alchemy civilization to interpret “the inheritance of the great master”, but it is actually a crooked play.

This “misunderstanding” Chen Rui did not explain. Everyone has their own secrets. The identity of the super system and the traveler is his biggest secret. Subconsciously, this is a secret that he does not intend to reveal to anyone.

“This sky castle should still have terrifying power. How many trump cards are you hiding?”

“It’s just an empty shelf for bluffing.” Chen Rui shook his head.

“Either inheritance or others, it’s not omnipotent, otherwise I wouldn’t be on the brink of death several times in a row.”

Catherine’s eyes softened, she and he once experienced the test of death together , and more than once, every time,

he did not hesitate to stand in front of her.

Turning his head slowly, those eyes turned into indifferent tranquility again: “Is His Majesty Shia asking you to come? Your Excellency Aglie.”

Chen Rui pretended not to hear the deliberate call: “Catherine… Thank you.”

“Did you thank me for saving your Majesty the Queen? Or did you thank me for saving the Warlock Fortress or the Fallen Angel Empire?” Catherine’s voice became a little colder.

“My Majesty the Queen?”

Chen Rui’s “answer” looked more like a name for Catherine.

The softness in Kathleen’s eyes that had been shielded by Tranquility before moved slightly, but her heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

Immediately suppressed it, frowning: “A living Shia, a stable fallen angel empire, can better serve as a buffer between the shadow empire and the blood evil empire. Lei Chan originally thought I was dead. , So I did not hesitate to give up my dignity and principles to personally solve Shia, and I wanted to take advantage of the situation to dominate the demon world. Now, instead of dying, I have reached the national level, so Lei Chan will not attack Shia again. So, you should be able to relax. Now, your majesty is unprecedentedly safe…”

Chen Rui smartly changed the topic: “You said the rules just now? Are there any clear restrictions on the powerhouses above the national level, and they can’t deal with ordinary powerhouses? ”

“When ‘quantity’ can no longer determine ‘quality’, there must be corresponding restrictions. I heard that there is a corresponding… demigod contract in the ground world?” Kathleen’s words were more of a rhetorical question.

Demigod contract?

Chen Rui remembered when he was in the ground world.

Isjolul came to the Emerald Forest. The demigod powerhouse of the spiritual clan once mentioned this term. It seems that it should be some kind of convention to limit the interference of the demigod powerhouse in the world.

“It seems that there is.” Chen Rui pondered: “There is also in the devil world?”

“As far as I know, there is no formal contract in the devil world. It’s just an unwritten convention. I entered the national level, from demigod to god. From the point of view of the legendary road of the level, it is just the beginning. In the historical records, the gods have not shown miracles for a long time, but the years of the gods are endless, our tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, for the gods , it’s just a nap, so we can’t guess or estimate. It is known that there is a very key word in this legendary road, which is ‘belief’. If the kingdom is compared to the world, then belief It is the pillar of the world, and where there is faith, there must be believers. Faith can be transformed or changed, destroyed or born, but it cannot be directly interfered by the controller. For example, the gods can use the believers in our world to influence each other or even launch wars to compete Believe, but you must not kill or change the other’s believers by yourself. Demigods should also have this reason, because unless they are gods, these believers cannot survive in the kingdom, only in the ordinary world.” Kai. Sarin didn’t know that the man in front of him not only possessed the power of faith, but also had followers of a galaxy. According to the concept she understood, that “galaxy” was the “Kingdom of God”.

“If super-level powerhouses slaughter ordinary people at every turn, it may not only affect their mood and understanding of faith, but more troublesome is that you don’t know whether or how many of these ordinary people are believers of other powerhouses. How many unknown powerful enemies will be attracted… In addition, super-level powerhouses also have their own pride, unless they are provoked, they will never be able to kill easily.”

Chen Rui nodded slowly: “So that’s the case, no wonder Lei Chan When I attacked Shia, I made a lame excuse.”

“Lei Chan is a very proud person, if it is an opponent of the same level. He will not hesitate at all. If he really wants to kill Shia in public, it is actually a great shame for him, but he actually gave up his dignity and Pride, the unification of the demon world is certainly a reason, but the most important one is probably the dark disease on his body. He wants to do everything to clear the obstacles for the blood evil empire before the injury erupts or before he retreats. However, I can feel it. If some kind of mutation happened to Lei Chan’s life breath, once it broke out, even Lei Chan would not be able to escape. He should have been using the blood evil ring, one of the seven artifacts, to contain this mutation, and only rely on prolonging his life. I’m afraid it will be difficult to cure the medicine.”

“In any case, this is one of the most important bargaining chips in negotiating with Lei Chan, and I will do my best.”

“The object of your negotiation is not only Lei Chan, but also me,” Kai said. Sarin looked at him lightly, “Since your husband is here today, it’s definitely not as simple as chatting and thanking. Then let’s talk about it. As a strategic alliance, you must promise me two conditions. First, No matter what changes will happen in the future, this Star City will never be able to appear on the battlefield with the Shadow Empire. Second, all the new things and technologies possessed by the Fallen Angel Empire in the future, the Shadow Empire must also be at the same time. Yes

.”

Chen Rui shook his head: “In the future… can we finally escape war?”

“This question is very naive, in fact, you already know the answer in your heart,” Kathleen looked away, “I’m not really a wise man. I even get tired of that cold and ruthless throne sometimes, but I have to sit down, I have to give up more…”

“Let’s give up our future,” Chen Rui sighed: “In this way, can your people have more? It’s not the first time I’ve seen your paranoia. To be honest, I really admire you.”

“Have you ever lost the person closest to you? Not only have I lost it, but I’ve buried it with my own hands…” Catherine’s eyes Some misty: “That year. I put on a crown with my hands stained with my brother’s blood, and I vowed to use everything to protect this land that used to be full of crying and blood, so that no more people would be lost. I don’t know. Shia’s story. But what is certain is that she is as persistent as I am, and as emperors, we will not let go of our obsessions, so sooner or later…”

Her Majesty the Queen paused and sighed: “I won’t give you multiple choice questions, I can only tell you that your so-called ‘our future’ is just a phantom, you are a wise man, put it down early, this will treat us like this It’s all good.”

Chen Rui was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

“My majesty, has anyone ever told you that when you encounter matters related to the empire, you always have foresight, careful planning, and sometimes ingenious schemes, even if you are not the first wise man to be hyped I’m not a fool, but once I encounter personal and emotional matters, I’m a total fool? Is this the legendary high IQ and low EQ?”

Kathleen didn’t understand the words that were almost poisonous, but her eyes were obvious. There is more of a chill: “I don’t have time to accompany you to say these boring words, I want to hear your answer now!”

“Intelligence is innate, emotional intelligence is acquired, to be precise, this emotional intelligence is a bit ambiguous, so let’s just talk about it. Think of it as an emotion…”

“Since you can’t give me an answer, then let Shia come and talk to me.” Catherine’s voice became even colder.

“Don’t be angry, Her Majesty the Queen… Don’t you just not use this big guy on the battlefield? And that Shia has it, you should have it…” Chen Rui said with a smile, “I agreed, but the second condition Let’s tentatively set a time limit of two years.”

Catherine thought of that day, when she left, the voice of ‘two years’ came from behind, nodded and closed her eyes: “I want to rest. Now, Your Excellency Agulie, you can go back and return to your life.”

Chen Rui turned around and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped: “The closest person in this world… I have also lost, that is the daughter I once regarded as my daughter. One of my life, although she has left me forever, she left an eternal imprint in my heart. Your success in Nirvana should be the result of this imprint, and there is a strange connection between us because of this, I believe You have already felt it. It is precisely because I have lost it that I cherish it even more. Finally, the ‘phantom’ you once saw is not necessarily an illusion, but may have now become a real existence.”

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Kathleen slowly opened her eyes, and what fell into her eyes was the city in the sky under the purple moonlight.

ps: The second one is usually relatively late. For those who go to bed early, please watch it the next day.
