Chen Rui spent a lot of time explaining under Pagliu's poisonous erosion as if nothing had happened.
When talking about the 6:4 division of the treasure, he deliberately said "6 for humans and 4 for dragons", and Pagliu jumped up: "Dream on! Greedy guy, it's clearly 4 for you and 6 for me!"
As expected, wealth is still the most memorable thing for the dragons, but the symbiotic contract cannot be forged. It is very likely that this guy had reacted before and was deliberately having fun later.
After Pagliu criticized the greed of the human ally righteously, he pulled him to the diamond chess to show off his achievements in the past few days. As expected, the poisonous dragon has been indulging in it since he left last time.
Chen Rui looked at the four small stones left on the chessboard, without commenting, and rearranged the stones and started moving. Looking at the last three small stones left on the chessboard, and counting the number of steps Chen Rui had used, it was finally the turn of the poisonous dragon to be hurt. In fact, Chen Rui has a simpler method that can complete the highest "genius" level in only 18 moves, that is, leaving only one chess piece in the center of the chessboard. Of course, this method is not his original creation, but the crystallization of the wisdom of his predecessors.
Whether it is Huarongdao or Independent Diamond Chess, Chen Rui has made a smart choice and has not used the most advanced solution he knows, just to leave more interest and imagination space for these users.
Sure enough, when Pagliu heard that there were more and simpler moves than before, he became more interested. But now is not the time to play this. Du Long glanced at Athena in the distance and shouted: "Woman! Lord Pagliu wants to eat barbecue. Go and hunt some prey, and your man will stay to play chess with Lord Pagliu!"
This girl has a good memory for barbecue! Chen Rui looked at Pagliu with contempt. Athena knew that barbecue was the condition of the last "agreement" of Du Long. Without saying anything more, she disappeared from sight after a few ups and downs.
"This woman has a mutant bloodline and has two forms. Even if the demon form in battle does not meet your aesthetic point of view, she should be beautiful in her normal state." Pagliu squinted his eyes: "How is it? Did you get her into bed?"
"You are a guy who only thinks about problems with your lower body! How can I do that?" Chen Rui said unhappily: "Actually, Athena is a good person and very righteous. I don't want to lie to her. Just be friends. She should help."
"It's up to you, as long as you achieve your goal," Pagliu laughed strangely: "But we dragons have two mottos. There is no real pure friendship between men and women. Friendship is the beginning of love. You have successfully taken the first step. You are indeed a cunning guy!"
Chen Rui knew that he couldn't explain it to the poisonous dragon, so he said: "Pagliu, don't talk about the topic. While Athena is not here, let's start learning the dragon language inscriptions."
After hearing this, Pagliu also became serious.
Inscriptions refer to carved words, which are divided into negative and positive according to the concave and convex forms. Dragon language inscriptions are a kind of inscriptions carved using the special spells of the ancient dragon clan. Each individual inscription contains a mysterious meaning and can exert a powerful force. The stronger the user's own power and the deeper the understanding of the inscription, the greater the power of the carving. Because it is too profound, even the dragon clan itself is not very proficient in this.
A string of inscriptions arranged according to a certain rule can exert a power several times the sum of the individual inscriptions. Although the power of dragon language inscriptions is powerful, due to the origin of the creator's power, the inscriptions are much weaker to the dragon clan itself than to other creatures.
The first thing Pagliu taught was some basic decomposition of characters. Chen Rui had a good memory and remembered it quickly, but he felt that it was very difficult to understand. He could only remember it all in a hurry and then digest it slowly when he returned. Seeing that Chen Rui had such a good memory, Pagliu simply taught a few complete inscriptions.
Soon, Athena returned with the prey, and Chen Rui began his cooking job. Last time, the poisonous dragon only ate the leftovers from Alice and the others' roasting, but this time he had a feast. After eating the roasted meat, Pagliu picked his teeth leisurely with a branch, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, remember to come back in seven days!"
"Wait," Athena stood up suddenly and asked sternly, "Where's the antidote?"
Pagliu asked doubtfully, "What antidote?"
This foodie! He even forgot about the antidote! Chen Rui quickly asked for it, and winked at Pagliu. Pagliu finally remembered, hesitantly, fumbled in his clothes for a long time, and got three small green beads.
Chen Rui thought of the sweat-stain pills used to trick people in some novels, and felt a chill in his heart.
The disgusted look made Pagliu furious. He put up a soundproof barrier, grabbed Chen Rui by the collar, and said angrily: "You don't know the goods! This is the Jade Fluorescent Pearl, a special crystal of the poisonous dragon. Eating it can not only quickly recover from injuries, but also permanently enhance the body's resistance to poison. It takes almost two hundred years to produce one! Each one dissolved in water is enough for ten people to take! You can solve the antidote issue yourself next time!" It turned out to be the Ten-fold Tonic Pill. Chen Rui smiled embarrassedly. Pagliu looked at Athena who had drawn the sword to rescue, smiled meaningfully, and loosened his collar. Chen Rui gave Athena a safe look and took her away from the lake quickly. Along the way, Athena kept her head down on the back of the tricornus, did not talk to Chen Rui, and looked unhappy. Chen Rui thought Athena was still afraid of the poison in her body, so he handed her a jade bead and said, "Athena, why don't you take this antidote first? We'll come back in seven days, and everything should be fine."
"It's all my fault!" Athena suddenly clenched her fists, and her long-suppressed emotions burst out at once, "I've been regretting these days. If I had insisted on not bringing Alice to Lanbo Lake, she wouldn't have been poisoned! I really want to fight Du Long to the death. People from the Wells family would rather die in battle than accept threats!"
Chen Rui didn't expect Athena to be so stubborn. No wonder Du Long said this was just a temporary solution. Seeing that she was really going to fight Pagliu, he quickly said, "Wait, if you anger Du Long, he will never give you the antidote again. Isn't that harming Alice?"
Athena was hit in the vitals, and she sat down dejectedly, her voice carrying a rare cry: "Alice is my best friend, and my Wells family has received great favors from the White Night Emperor. My father specially sent me to the Dark Moon Territory. Even if I risk my life, I must protect the lineage of Prince Green, but I made such an unforgivable mistake! What should I do?"
Chen Rui realized that Athena was not worried about her own safety but her friend Alice, and suddenly felt guilty: "Athena! I swear on my life that the poison of you, Alice, and Jia will be safely removed. If you trust me, take the detoxification pill now!"
For the sake of the poison dragon and her own life, this lie cannot be exposed for the time being, so let's give her psychological comfort first.
Athena raised her head, her slightly red eyes looked at the human with a firm attitude in surprise, and finally nodded, took the green fluorescent bead and ate it. Maybe the tonic didn't taste good, she frowned tightly, and Chen Rui remembered that one green fluorescent bead was enough for ten people, which seemed a bit wasteful.
After recovering, Athena said: "Chen Rui, you are the bravest human I have ever seen, and you are also a responsible man. These days, I have regarded you as a friend. If you need help in the future, just ask, I, Athena Wells, will never refuse!"
"Yes!" Chen Rui nodded, thinking that he might be the first human she had ever seen, the bravest and the least brave are actually the same person. However, Athena's word "friend" reminded him of the two dragon mottos that Du Long said today, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.
"This detoxification pill tastes very spicy, and it feels like my throat is on fire. I'm afraid the little princess won't eat it. She's very smart, so we have to think of a way, otherwise she'll be discovered." Chen Rui thought for a while and said, "I'll think of a way. Remember not to let her see through the flaws. Just be like usual. The matter of the poisonous dragon must not be leaked." Athena nodded and said, "Don't worry. I will never tell anyone about your inheritance. His Highness Xia has ordered this." "Don't think about unhappy things. I'll continue to tell you about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This time I'm going to tell you about the classic battles of the Three Kingdoms, the three heroes fighting Lu Bu." Chen Rui was relieved and determined to compensate Athena in terms of the story. "Lu Bu is the strongest, the artifact he uses is a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the beast under his seat is called Red Rabbit..." Athena's eyes lit up and she began to listen attentively. When the triangular rhino arrived at the gate of Dark Moon City, Chen Rui and Athena were both surprised. They saw the little loli Alice standing at the gate with her hands on her hips, blocking the gate. Behind her was Jia, who looked helpless. There were many soldiers beside them, led by a burly and strong long-horned demon.
Chen Rui recognized this horned demon as the leader of the city guards. When the two of them left the city in the morning, he was particularly respectful to Athena.
Athena and Chen Rui got off the Triceratops. Alice looked like "The princess is unhappy, the consequences are serious." Her first words were: "Athena, you are so mean! You actually went to play at the Blue Wave Lake secretly without taking me! If Gangke hadn't reported it to me, I wouldn't have known!" Chen Rui hurriedly explained: "Little princess, Athena was entrusted by Master Aldas to protect me to go to the Blue Wave Lake to collect herbs..." "Shut up! You cunning human!" The horned demon named Gangke interrupted Chen Rui's explanation rudely, "I now suspect that you are colluding with the thieves outside the city. Come! Arrest him first!" "Clang!" The greatsword behind Athena was unsheathed, and a compelling momentum emanated. The beautiful red eyes showed cold murderous intent: "Chen Rui is my friend, whoever dares to move me will chop off his head!" Athena's father is George, the first general of the empire, who is famous, and his swordsmanship is also famous in Dark Moon. The soldiers did not dare to step forward for a while. Seeing Athena defending humans like this, Gangke was shocked and shouted, "Lord Athena, don't be fooled by this guy!"
Athena waved her hand, turned her sword, and slapped Gangke with the back of the sword. Gangke quickly raised his hammer with both hands to block. With a sound of metal clashing, the horned demon, known for its strength, was unable to withstand Athena's one-handed blow. He was shortened and his ankles were already sunk into the ground.
