Chapter 232 Three Words
The next day, Chen Rui was summoned by Shea and came to the palace hall.
Shea didnt speak, but she stared at him for a while. When Chen Rui was a little anxious, she asked, Youve returned for many days. Is the grand masters inheritance test over?
Its half done. As for the other half, it depends on luck. If Im unlucky, Princess Royal can save the salary for the sheriff.
Chen Rui was right. Although the problem about the poison dragons treasure was solved, he wasnt far from the final and also the most terrifying Star Conversion stage. Itd be the biggest test ever. He wasnt certain about his life and death.
Thinking of that, Chen Ruis mood was a little bit heavy. Before that, I should make proper arrangements for these things first.
Shea sensitively noticed Chen Ruis anomaly in his emotions. For some reason, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Chen Rui returned to normal within a moment and smiled, Ive met General George. Although I was almost killed by him, I managed to survive that eventually.
Really? Sheas discomfort was replaced by another strange, unpleasant feeling.
Ive never had such a strange, unpleasant feeling. General George is Athenas father; while Athenas relationship with this man is known to all of Dark Moon. Actually, when she met General George, she made a certain affirmation of Chen Ruis talents and left a good initial impression in General Georges mind.
After all, Shea wasnt an ordinary woman. She realized immediately: Why do I feel uncomfortable? Isnt General George my greatest supporter?
I guess its because the thing about the capital is too stressful. Shea took a deep breath, Have you heard about the sanction from the capital? The news was spread around the Dark Moon and the peoples hearts started to be anxious. At present, I can still control. When the food is really cut, its probably hard to handle. I dont want to expose the food base unless its our last resort because this base is newly built and there arent many food reserves. In case theres some action from the capitol, all our previous work will be wasted.
Chen Rui nodded and said his idea of covering the food base with the strategy in the west. Shea nodded and said, This idea is similar to mine. This time, General George brought a person. He is very valuable in our development of the west route.
Who is it? Chen Rui froze. Father-in-law didnt seem to mention it. However, father-in-law spent more time dueling with Paglio. At most, he only asked me about art of war without mentioning this matter.
This man is the heir of the Custer family, the largest business family in the Dark Shadow Empire. He was almost assassinated due to family struggles. He happened to meet General George who came to the Dark Moon. General George rescued him and brought him here. Shea looked at Chen Rui, As long as we can secretly support him to inherit the family business of the Custer family, the critical issues of trade or food purchase can be solved.
Chen Rui understood that Sheas so-called support, also meant controlling secretly. If this plan was successful, the benefits wont be limited to solving the current crisis, but it also had an unpredictable huge effect on the future development of the Dark Moon.
This is very important to the Dark Moon. We have to plan it well.
Chen Rui smiled, Princess Royal doesnt have to worry about the sanctions. At least we already have the capability to handle it. What we need now is a plan to overcome this without a trace. As long as we can survive the sanctions safely, the publics dependence on the Red Spirit and capital will be greatly weakened, which will be of great benefit for Princess Royal to obtain the loyalty from the people.
Shea nodded slightly and Chen Rui added, Even if the sanction is overcome without any trace, Im afraid the capital will continue to press on, so we must distract the capital. The several proposals I mentioned can be prepared selectively now.
Shea was surprised, You meant
The boldest plan has the highest requirements for candidates. However, this plan is equally risky. Well discuss it when I have time to think about it. Chen Rui shifted the topic, I went to Silent Night Wetland this time and brought an entire wyvern tribe back
What?! Shea couldnt help but reveal her surprise. A tribe of wyverns! This means a dragon knight legion!
One has to know that the entire Fallen Angel Empire only has 1 dragon knight legion! If Dark Moon also has one
They are temporarily settled at Mountain Xilang. Tim sent someone to take care of them. Chen Rui vaguely stated, The climate at Mountain Xilang isnt suitable for the wyverns. The black rainforest area is remote and deserted, and the terrain and climate are very suitable for the wyverns. My idea is to set up a secret base within the black rainforest area to settle the wyverns first. Then, well gradually select soldiers and train them as dragon knights. However, the selection of people must be cautious. The priority should be their loyalty because it has to do with Dark Moons most secretive military force. If its leaked, the capital might make a huge move or even launch an attack in advance.
I understand. Shea nodded, suppressing the ecstasy in her heart. After calmly contemplating for a while, she said, The candidate for dragon knight will be screened among the imperial guards for the time being. Ill make Kaguron inspect various aspects to ensure the reliability of the candidate.
Not only that, the garrison and Cloak Gang are also two important forces. The garrison eliminated more than half of the people under the training of Athena and Arux. Although the number of people has decreased, the quality has greatly improved. They are gradually going on the right track. Dark Moon has a large population, so we can consider replenishing the soldiers. Cloak Gang is a force in the dark, and it must not be ignored. Ive already discussed it with Aguile. In the next step, Princess Royal can slowly see the effect. However, the Cloak Gang will be hostile to other forces under Princess Royal in an appropriate manner, such as the current Saiful Family to let outsiders see the disharmony of Dark Moon and further paralyze the capitals control over the Dark Moon.
Out of her trust in Chen Rui, Shea no longer questioned Aguiles identity, About Cloak Gang, do as you see best. Ill support it unconditionally.
The surprise brought by Chen Rui didnt stop there, Its now certain that Master Xingxingll stay in the Dark Moon. The Cloak Gang will open a magic store where Master Xingxing will oversee. Also, I have mastered some junior master-level crafting skills through the inheritance of grand master. I want to build a secret armory to secretly assemble some craftsmen to make better equipment. Regardless of how the interference plan from the capital is carried out, strengthening ourselves is the most fundamental thing. However, the current inheritance isnt complete yet. Thus, the construction of the armory can be prepared in advance, but the specific implementation has to wait for the next step.
Master-level crafting skills! Even if its just junior master, its still very amazing!
Shea was overjoyed. She had another strange feeling in her heart. It seemed that she had just remembered there was such a thing where Chen Rui was inheriting a grand masters skill. It was Sheas initial intention when she recruited and appointed this human. Yet, as the humans wisdom and talent showed, that inheritance was ignored instead.
Chen Rui then sorted out a lot of ideas and told Shea his plans and arrangements for various aspects. Shea felt that the future direction was becoming clearer and clearer. While applauding in her heart, she suddenly felt her heart throbbing as if Chen Rui wanted to tell all his thoughts. If he didnt say everything this time, there wouldnt be a chance in the future.
Shea secretly calmed her mind and shifted away from the topic, You brought so many surprises. Im a little bit distressed about how to reward you now.
Chen Ruis eyes lit up. As he was about to speak something, Shea stopped him in advance, Other than dancing that something, you can ask for any reward.
Princess Royal actually remembered the content of the last joke so clearly? Chen Rui shrugged his shoulders helplessly: Any reward? Then, should I ask for a kiss? It seems that we havent reached that stage yet. I dont dare to challenge my royal sister boss limit.
By the way
Why dont you promise me one thing.
Chen Ruis weird smile made Shea nervous. However, since she already said that, she couldnt back up so she said coldly, What is it?
3 words. Chen Rui stared boldly at Sheas purple eyes with his fiery eyes, When I say these 3 words, you cant kill me.
3 words? Is it
This annoying man! Does he think he can be presumptuous with that bit of contribution? Shea feels annoyed. Somehow, her heartbeat accelerated a bit, and an unprecedented blush showed on her face. She shouted, You have the nerve!
It isnt too bold to ask you to spare my life for just saying something right? Chen Rui shook his head and sighed, Besides I havent said what are the three words. Why did you give me such an evaluation? These three words may be spare my life or how are you If Princess Royal must take back the reward given to me, as a poor subordinate, I have nothing to say.
Shea was even more annoyed. She didnt know if she was angry or in other moods. She clenched her teeth and said, I, Shea Lucifer swear by my royal bloodline that when Chen Rui said those three words, I wont kill him but only for once!
Only once? Haih okay. Chen Rui scratched his head and smiled, Its not the right time looking at the situation. Ill choose a suitable time to say the suitable 3 words. Princess Royal, please remember to spare my life.
Enough! Shea had an urge to go against the royal etiquette and punch this guy with an impertinent smile. She said impolitely, Im a bit tired. You can leave now!
Chen Rui initially wanted shamelessly request for special services like massage, but if he really did force the iceberg royal sister to the corner, perhaps those three words would really become spare my life and be wasted immediately. So, he immediately laughed, bowed and left.
This bastard! Why cant he just insist on a waltz?
Initially I thought I could already forcefully accept that inappropriate request, but I didnt expect this guy to make an even worse request!
Shea felt an inexplicable resentment. Thinking of the 3 unknown words, she began to feel a little flustered. However, the pressure brought by the capitals sanctions and a series of things these days had disappeared into thin air.
