Soon, Jia also woke up. When the group drove the tricorn rhinoceros back to Dark Moon City, Chen Rui, who was shocked by Alice all the way, still hung his head and looked listless. Alice was very satisfied with her "results" and looked very excited.
When they arrived at the city gate, the sheriff General Allen stopped the four people again because the princess wanted to summon Chen Rui and asked the four people to go to the meeting hall of the palace as soon as possible. When the demon general conveyed the order, jealousy flashed in his eyes-this human who was originally a prisoner, I don't know what kind of shit luck he had, he was valued by Master Aldas, and now even His Highness Xia has to summon him in person!
Chen Rui learned from Athena that Princess Xia was a strong and cold superior, quite like the White Night Emperor, and everyone in Dark Moon City was in awe of her. He knew that once the news of him being accepted as an apprentice by Aldass spread, it would attract the attention of the eldest princess, but he didn't expect to be summoned so soon, and he was a little nervous.
After entering the palace gate, Alice pulled him aside and whispered in his ear: "Don't let my sister hear what I said on the road today, otherwise I will castrate you!"
Although the threatening words were still fierce, Chen Rui could hear that the little loli was finally scared. Thank God, Athena was right. This eccentric little princess still had a nemesis.
Chen Rui resisted the itchy feeling in his ears and deliberately asked in a low voice: "Then I don't have to be responsible for you? Or the child in your belly..."
"How dare you say that!" The little girl glared with murderous intent: "Are you daydreaming? With Athena here, if you really dare to touch this princess, those claws would have been chopped off long ago!"
Chen Rui's face suddenly realized: "So that's it! I originally thought it was impossible, but the little princess's acting skills were so great. What she said along the way seemed to be true, and I was in a trance and thought something really happened."
"Acting?" Alice immediately understood the meaning of this word, and asked again worriedly: "What I said just now..."
"Don't worry! Even if the eldest princess tortures me severely, coerces me...that temptation, I won't say a word! If you don't believe me, the little princess can try to read my mind." Chen Rui imitated Athena and patted his chest hard, but unfortunately his chest muscles were far less developed than the violent girl, and he couldn't make an arc no matter how he patted.
Little Lolita didn't know that she had already boasted, and patted Chen Rui's shoulder with satisfaction, just like a head of state meeting a soldier: "No need, I believe you. After this is over, remember to make a few more Kongming locks... This princess will never treat you unfairly."
Chen Rui directly ignored the last few words of Little Lolita, and the four of them came to the meeting hall together. A sickle demon with an extremely cold appearance saluted Alice: "Your Highness Alice, please wait outside, Your Highness Xia will summon this human first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Kagulong." Alice's disguise is indeed powerful, and now she has the style of a standard lady from a noble family.
Kagulong nodded slightly and came to Chen Rui. His cold eyes did not change at all. He said, "Human, follow me."
Chen Rui followed Kagulong into the meeting room. The meeting room was spacious and the furnishings were very simple. On the steps in the center, stood a young woman wearing a crown and a pleated long skirt. She was the eldest princess Xia, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Dark Moon.
When Chen Rui saw the eldest princess, his first reaction was to be stunned by her beauty. Perfect, this is the most appropriate adjective he could think of. Both her appearance and temperament are perfect. Compared with this sister, Alice is just a child who has not grown up. As for the so-called stars and celebrities in the previous life, they are simply mediocre and not worth mentioning.
If you really want to pick out some flaws, it is that the princess's temperament is too cold, and her deep eyes like purple gems exude a faint coldness.
Chen Rui once chose the queen without hesitation in a vote on "Do otakus like queens or lolita" in a certain bar, and added a comment of four words "Queen is mighty"!
Obviously, this is the goddess among queens, the queen among goddesses, the iceberg queen!
The princess frowned slightly when she saw the human's absent-minded look. Aldass next to her coughed lightly, which made Chen Rui suddenly wake up. He quickly restrained his little thoughts and lowered his head. Although this was a normal male reaction, this was not a goddess, but a female devil. His life was in her hands. If he made her angry, it would be troublesome.
There was a man on each side of Xia. Opposite Aldass was an old man with white hair and beard, with a haggard face, half-closed eyes, and seemed to be dozing off. There were three long horns on his head that bent backwards.
"Your Highness, the human has been brought here."
"Kagolon, you are now guarding the door of the meeting room. No one is allowed to enter, even Alice." The princess' voice was equally cold.
Kagulong bowed and immediately retreated.
Xia's eyes fell on Chen Rui: "Human, what's your name?"
Chen Rui calmed down, imitated Kagulong's bow, and said: "Meet Her Royal Highness, My name is Chen Rui."
Xia asked coldly: "This is the name, what about the surname?"
Chen Rui was stunned, and then he remembered that the name in this world is first and the surname is second. He couldn't be called Rui Chen, so he had to answer: "It's Chen Rui."
No matter what, he didn't want to give up the only mark that symbolized the family affection, feelings and other things he once had.
Xia didn't delve into this issue, because in the demon world, most people only have one name. Generally, only families with a background are qualified to have a surname, or the honor of being given a surname by the emperor can be inherited.
"Then, what about 'Arthur'?" Xia's voice was a little more sharp, and a faint pressure was released: "Answer!" Chen Rui's heart was beating fast, but after what happened to Pagliu, he became much braver and soon regained his composure, saying: "It's like this, Your Highness. After I fell into the demon world, I lost some memories. I only remember that my name seemed to be Arthur, and I seemed to be a noble. As for my surname and other things, I can't remember them clearly. Now I can't return to the ground world, and Master Aldass values me, so I decided to give up my original identity and change my name to Chen Rui. I will live here as a member of Dark Moon City. Please grant me your permission." Chen Rui had prepared this answer for a long time. It not only moved out the protection of Aldass, but also showed his determination to live in the demon world again and be loyal to the Dark Moon Territory. At the same time, it can also fix the bug of his original name. In fact, the memory of Arthur he accepted was indeed incomplete, and the excuse of amnesia was not fictitious. "Gauss, what do you think?" Xia turned his eyes to the white-haired old man beside him. Old Gauss nodded slowly: "When this human was captured, I participated in the interrogation and found that he had amnesia. He only said his name was Arthur. His power is extremely weak. He is basically a waste and should not pose any threat."
It is natural for anyone to be unhappy when being called a waste, but being low-key is in line with Chen Rui's current situation. The super system and the poisonous dragon ally are the two capitals for his future survival. What he needs most now is time for development and a relatively safe living environment.
Xia nodded slightly, and said to Chen Rui: "I heard some interesting stories from Master Aldass, but I don't want to hear them again. I only ask you one question, have you really inherited the ancient grandmaster? Don't try to deceive, you can't afford the cost of lies." Chen Rui finally understood why Xia summoned him so quickly, but telling the truth would only kill him faster, so he answered without hesitation: "I can guarantee with my life that I did inherit the grandmaster's legacy. However, the grandmaster's era was not ancient, but a more distant and almost unrecorded prehistoric era. I came to the demon world inexplicably, which may be caused by the residual divine power. If His Highness can give me an identity to live in New Moon City, I am willing to Contribute the inherited knowledge and serve His Highness. "
Xia asked Aldath: "Master, how credible do you think this is?"
Aldath bowed slightly. The actual age of the princess was only 23 years old. According to the life span of the royal family, she was just starting, but it did not affect the respect of the dark elf master for her. He replied: "Your Highness has seen Huarong Road. This kind of deduction tool has never been recorded in history. I am sure that there is no such thing even in the human world. And the Kongming lock destroyed by Athena can be called ingenious. I have tried various poisons on him, but none of them worked. In addition to believing in the inheritance of the grandmaster, I really can't think of a reason. "
Ingenious? It seems that there are many idioms and allusions in this world that are the same as those on Earth, but I don't know which demon king or human came from them? After getting Aldath's affirmation, Chen Rui felt much more relaxed. He knew from Athena that Xia's current situation was not good. It was the time when he needed talents and help. As long as he could show enough value, he would be able to get through it safely.
Xia pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said to Chen Rui: "You are a human, originally the mortal enemy of my demon clan. If you don't get my approval, even if you leave the Dark Moon Territory, you can't survive. Now that you are willing to be loyal, I will naturally not treat you unfairly, but there is a condition, your identity as the inheritor of the Grand Master cannot be mentioned to anyone. Usually you are the apprentice of Master Aldas. One day, when the knowledge you inherit reaches a certain level, I will give you the courtesy of the master."
This princess is not simple. She first pointed out his dangerous situation and then used gentle means to win him over. It can be said to be coercion and inducement. It seems that Xia wants to train Chen Rui as a secret master to increase the bargaining chips against the Obsidian Regent. This approach coincides with his original plan.
The first bird to be shot is shot. If you show off without strength, it is definitely a damn stupid bird.
"Thank you, Princess!" Chen Rui bowed again, showing a bit of excitement, and said hesitantly: "It's just that the matter of the Grand Master, in addition to the three of you, the Princess, the Little Princess, Athena and the Little Bad Mosley also know, and Jia may also know something."
"Athena and Jia also know? I will let them keep it secret..." Xia thought of the human's absent-minded look just now, and changed his tone, "I heard Alice say a few days ago that you seem to be interested in Jia. If you can really make a considerable contribution to Dark Moon, I can give Jia to you."
Naked beauty trap! Chen Rui thought of Jia's charming and seductive appearance, and couldn't help but feel dry in his mouth, but sperm suckers must not be provoked. If you can't control yourself, you will become dry after a kiss.
"As for that little demon, just kill him."
The murderous intent in Xia's words made Chen Rui shudder, and he immediately understood her intention of killing a chicken to scare a monkey. It seems that the means of this princess to control her subordinates are indeed extraordinary. He changed his mind and said, "Your Highness Xia, I am now preparing to learn about potions from Master Aldass, and I need an experimental subject. I wonder if you can give Sly to me?"
Chen Rui saved the little demon's life, not out of sympathy, but because he had his own plans.
After a brief consideration, Xia agreed to this request. When Aldass took Chen Rui out of the palace, he said meaningfully, "The beauty of the princess is not something you can covet. Put away that thought and work hard for Dark Moon."
Chen Rui laughed it off. He was shocked by Xia's beauty just now, which was a normal male reaction. He really had no delusions in this regard. Instead, Xia made a promise to give Jia, which seemed to treat him as a lustful person.
Afterwards, the captain of the palace guards, Kagulon, read out the order written by the eldest princess in the center of Crescent Moon City. From then on, Chen Rui officially became a member of Dark Moon City, and successfully took the first step to save his life in the demon world.
