Devil’s Son-in-Law

Seven days later, the carriage finally arrived at the destination Emperor.

The emperors of the three empires are named directly in the name of the country. The prosperity of the shadow empires is far beyond Chen Rui's expectations. The carriage stops at nearby stations, but it is already possible to see the residents and misplaced houses. The wide pavement is paved with good white stone mixed corresponding materials, which is even stronger and more atmospheric than the cement roads of another world.

The long-distance carriage at the station is inaccessible to the gates of the city, and there is another lighter Camel Mara car that can pass within Tidu.

Phoenix stretched out a lazy waist: “I've been tired for a few days and I'm going to get some sleep when I get home. ”

Chen Rui smiled: “Thank you, Lord Rumenig, for your gift and pointers along the way. I'm going to a relative's house first, and I'm leaving. ”

Rumenig nodded: “I hope you get certified by the maker as soon as possible. Here's a badge. You take it, if you want to enter the maker's competition, even if you don't sign up beforehand, you can do it directly, as a thank you gift for hitchhiking our tower and drinking your wine. ”

Chen Rui took the badge and thanked Rumenig for bowing down. Since he was studying the makeup technique in the forge room, there was a noticeable decrease in the conversation with Phoenix over the next few days, and Phoenix just waved goodbye to Chen Rui. Monroe still turned a blind eye and called a light wagon to leave with Rumenig and Phoenix.

Chen Rui had the heart to see the Shadow Emperor. The more he walked all the way, the stronger he felt. The Shadow Emperor was a flat city. In terms of size alone, even at the height of the famous Fallen Angel Empire in the Dark Moon City, he had to be a lot less colorful. As for the level of prosperity, the current dark moon, in front of the Shadow Empire, can barely count as a desolate small town.

The tall, thick walls have a pounding atmosphere, representing the Asmod family's Black Phoenix Flame King flag flying in the wind. The city walls were lined up with spear-held guards, equipped with silver glittering armor, and the checks at the gates of the city were very normative and rigorous, and few incidents of blackmail with medium and private bags were seen. Due to the approaching Manufacturers Competition and the constant arrival of Manufacturers from all over Teito, Chen Rui easily passed the inventory as an Apprentice of Manufacturers.

Due to the huge area, in addition to the main road, the large and small streets of Tiduri are as complex as a spider web. General Lin's shops and residences are dazzling. Chen Rui had to take out the magic compass assistance. Some locals saw this behavior, and the scornful smile of "Look at this hillbilly" revealed a sense of superiority from the metropolis.

However, everywhere is the same, when there is light, there is decay, and prosperity does not conceal darkness and peril. Chen Rui knows this very well.

Emperor City is divided into inner city and outer city, shops and residential residences are distributed in the outer city, the inner city is mainly the residence of the royal highness, the center overlooks the mountains of all directions, is the seat of the highest building royal palace.

The Custer family, known as the Shadow Empire's No. 1 business family, is based in the inner city, but according to information returned by Kia, the young master, Dior, who was rescued by General George, very much dislikes the “home" of the inner courtyard and now lives in a separate courtyard in the busiest south of the outer city.

I finally found the other courtyard and saw a lot of guards at the door. It seems that this young Master Dior almost lost his life and became much more cautious.

Chen Rui walked into the gate and was stopped by the guards.

“Please tell Mr. Dior that Kia's friend has come to see him. ”

The guard gauged him for a while and smiled. “On your own? A humble apprentice wants to see Mr. Dior, too? ”

The other guard went on to scoff: “He also said he knew the beautiful Miss Kia! ”

“I am indeed a friend of Miss Jia, so...” Chen Rui took out a black crystal coin at will: “Whoever invited Miss Jia to meet me at the gate, who belongs to these black crystal coins. ”

The guards' eyes lit up, there were about ten of these black crystal coins, it was definitely a fortune, and they just invited Kia to the door, so many guards were there, and they weren't afraid of what the man was doing.

Soon after, Kia's figure appeared at the door. Chen Rui gave the black coin to John, the fastest reacting guard, and the others' eyes turned red.

Still the familiar charming witch, the weekday maid's clothes have long been changed into expensive dress, slightly tight clothes make the full upper circumference more protruding, although it is very natural to slightly sway the waist limbs, but the movement is full of temptation, as if one eye can make the male blood strain

As soon as Kia appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of the guards around her. She was even more jealous of John, who had gone to talk to Miss Kia first, and was lucky to get a black crystal coin.

Kia measured this big demon who called herself a friend and revealed her confusion. She was about to ask, “Miss Kia, don't you remember me? I'm Arthur, a friend of Old Goss's. ”

Jia heard Old Gaussian's name and revealed herself. She looked at Chen Rui a few more times and nodded her head: “Nice, come with me. ”

Chen Rui followed Kia into another courtyard. Although it is called another courtyard, the level of luxury is far greater than the palace of the Dark Moon. Kia took him to a more secluded corner and said, "Who are you? How come I haven't seen you? ”

“Don't worry about who I am, my name is Arthur. I have been ordered by the Princess to take over from Old Gaussian and to investigate the whereabouts of Old Gaussian.” Chen Rui gave Jia a a magic letter signed by Xia herself, which ordered that Jia must obey all arrangements of Arthur.

After reading it, Jia handed back the magic letter and bowed respectfully to Chen Rui: "Lord Arthur. ”

Chen Rui nodded, took over the magic letter, a little exertion of power, the letter dissipated as flying ash, while Jia's eyes slightly moved. Although her powers were confined to the forbidden circle, her eyes were still there. This seemingly casual power was only possible if it was not exerted by high-ranking demons.

There are so many renamers of the demonic realm, Arthur. The question is, when was there such a person beside the Elder Princess?

“I got some information from Princess Chang, but I'd like to hear your debriefing first," Rui Chen frowned. “And how did Old Goss disappear? ”

Kia set her mind and said it.

Sacramento, founder of the Custer family. Custer, a celebrity of the Shadow Empire, was an ordinary craftsman who, with flexibility of mind and bold tactics, began with a small magic shop and continued to grow into a huge Custer family. The current clan chief, Kroz, was also a remarkable figure, decisively choosing the then undesirable Princess Catherine in the shadow empire's “mess of kings", providing substantial financial and material support, and eventually Catherine swept the rebellion to the throne of the emperor. The Custer family, with its "Dragon Power”, is stronger and firmly holds the position of first business family.

Kroz, who was seriously injured in his early years and is now nearly twilight, is infirm and ill and naturally has the idea of handing over family responsibilities to the next generation. Kroz had three sons and a daughter, his eldest son died in the turmoil of the Emperor, his second son Dior became the boss, his third son Faramo, and his youngest daughter Céline.

By age, Dior is the first-in-line successor, Faramo is the second-order, and Celine is the third-order. In fact, Chloe was not satisfied with these children. Dior was mediocre, fond of beauty, and frankly delusional. He had almost fought for his political marriage and family back then. For many years, he had a poor relationship with Anna, the common daughter of the Honorary Minister of Finance. Faramo was born weak and married Marlene, the sister of Warren, the second general of the Shadow Empire. Marlene was a king of the Shadow Empire and his wife was weak. The remaining youngest daughter, Chleen, was born of late age. Though she loved it intelligently and intelligently, she is now under the age of twenty and has too little experience and experience to inherit the family business.

Kroz has been worried about the fact that Dior went out on a tour in the name of an inspection and disappeared for several months. After this return, which illustrates the course of the assassination, Kroz left his biggest suspect behind in Faramo, because if Dior dies, his biggest beneficiary will be Faramo.

Kroz himself came after a fierce family inheritance struggle. He did not expect these children to love each other and live in peace. What the demonic world adores is victory and weakness, and the ability to live. It's just that Faramo has always been under the control of his wife, Marlene, and behind Marlene is the second general representing the royal family. If he truly inherits the family, then the big family will likely fall into the hands of “relatives" in the future, so Kroz has always had a creep in his heart.

Old Gaussian insight into all of this and the targeted use of the plot made Kroz even more suspicious of Faramo, and the balance gradually went down to Dior's side, and of course, the pressure from General Walloon's side remained enormous and could not be ignored.

Starting from a magic store and currently an officially designated provider of arms and magic supplies, the Custer family has maintained a good relationship of mutual assistance and mutual benefit with the Shadow Emperor's League for many years. The Custer Family Heavy Gold sponsored the Custer Competition.

Kroz had not spent much time and had to make an immediate decision, and finally a decision was made that three children would choose one of each of the contesting manufacturers as a supporter, who would be the real first-in-line successor in this contest, and who would undisputed their true successor's position if the final victory of the contest were achieved!

This support is on both sides and must be agreed by the manufacturer himself, not only to test the eyesight of the heirs, but also to combine the means, strategies and other aspects.

As soon as Kroz's decision was announced, Dior and Faramo immediately began to prepare for the drumming, but Céline, who was the least likely to inherit the family business, did not seem slow.

Old Gaussian knew his reasoning well, and at his suggestion, Dior took advantage of the internal relationship of the League of Manufacturers to obtain first-hand information on this entry, which was screened and evaluated hierarchically, and eventually narrowed down to two people.

A legendary disciple of the Alliance of Individual Instrumentalists, Master Leo, the emperor who has risen in recent years is famous genius Instrumentalist Savitche.

The other is Robert, a senior maker, the last maker champion, most promising to become a master.

Of course, this contest will attract the producers of the Fallen Angel Empire and the Bloodshed Empire, in addition to the two, who may be powerful or unnamed, but since only one supporter can be chosen, the person with the greatest chance of winning must be chosen, at the very least, ranking as high as possible over the other two competitors.

Old Gaussian's favorite was the last champion, Robert, who threw in a series of cage offenses, and I have to say that Old Gaussian, as Shea's most trusted inmate for so many years, was still quite commendable in his tactics, but just as he was about to succeed, Old Gaussian suddenly disappeared. And after the incident, Roberton changed his mind and turned to Faramo. So it turns out that the biggest suspect Old Gaussian “evaporated” is Faramo.

Dior had sent many missions to search and to follow and monitor Faramo, but he had never found anything.

Now that the Manufacturers Competition is imminent, Dior can only focus on Savage based on the original Old Gaussian analysis. Young Savage became famous and had a senior master like Leo behind him, who had always been above the top, extremely proud and unscrupulous, Dior tried many ways to bring his relationship with Savage closer. Prepare to set up a feast in another courtyard tonight to entertain Savitche and discuss the final slate cooperation.

After learning about the situation from Kia, Chen Rui pondered for a while and asked Kia to take him to see Dior.

Dior is a skinny, tall, mutant devil, powerful, high-ranking demon. He looks like he's only in his twenties. He's actually over 200 years old. His face looks a little dull. I don't know if he's been under too much pressure lately or because of his wine color on a weekday.

Without Old Gaussian planning, Dior just found things difficult. Now when she heard Jia say that Dark Moon had come with new supporters, her spirit was vibrant. When she saw Chen Rui dressed as an instrument apprentice, her brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

But Dior finally had some insight, knowing that the one who could be backed by His Highness the Long Princess of the Dark Moon was not a genius. The suit was just a disguise, and he laughed immediately: "Lord Arthur has come a long way, what a hard work! ”

Chen Rui nodded and after a courteous chill, Dior ordered the waitress to step back.

“I've heard from Kia about the Noble Family and the Manufacturers Competition.” Chen Ruiyin shrugged: “Are you going to invite Savitche tonight? How sure? ”

“I don't know, the benefits of sending them were all taken over by Savitche, but he wouldn't officially say yes, much harder than that Robert.” Speaking of Robert, Dior bit his teeth off for a while, "Robert was no good, and he ended up on the Faramo side! ”

“By all means.” Chen Rui shook his head, saying that if this was a test given by Kroz to three children, it was just the beginning, "but Old Gaussian's eyes were always good, and Robert's hopes should be slightly greater than Savitche's, even if you successfully invited Savitche, you don't necessarily have to win. ”

“What should we do?” Dior revealed his anxiety. In fact, it's not a question of who won the Manufacturer's Competition in the end, as long as the contestants he supported were able to cover his brother and sister, of course it would be better for him to be the heir directly.

Chen Rui smiled slightly: “Don't worry, I have a plan. ”

The rewards of this Manufacturer's Competition, especially some rare materials, are the key to making "thunder sounds," and naturally he won't let go of such a good opportunity when he reaches the Master level.
