Chapter 87 Xilang Mountain

Remember for a second

Two days later, the two-legged flying dragons flew up from the sky above the rainy forest. Athena on Kegu's body appeared to be in high spirits, and the power of the Devil Fruit had been completely absorbed by her.

This kind of precious fruit that can trigger war is indeed well-deserved. Athena's strength was originally the first stage of high-level demons, but she was promoted to the middle stage at once. This is only a superficial effect. More importantly, it is the invisible potential index. In the future, she The possibility of breaking through the bottleneck of high-level demons and reaching the demon king level has greatly increased, and even the further realm of the great demon king and the demon emperor is no longer an unreachable fantasy.

With Diu Diu's example, with Chen Rui's strong insistence, Athena took another fruit, but the result was only to make the power more stable, and the extra power with a very small chance still did not appear, but this power is not necessarily It is immediate, and it is likely to be obtained in the years of practice in the future.

As for Diodiu's mutation, it was not only the effect of the Devil Fruit, but it was probably also related to the devouring of dragon meat.

Chen Rui secretly ate a Devil Fruit himself, but his power did not grow at all, but a little spiritual energy increased due to toxicity, which was very uneconomical. However, with the magic of Star Garden, after two months, it can be harvested again. In the future, it is not impossible to learn to eat Diu Diu as a snack.

In the past two days, he didn't waste time, he spent it all in the training ground, and only 90,000 of his 130,000 aura remained. Athena got his orders and didn't interfere with his "sleeping", plus Diu Diu's protection, including Athena taking the Devil Fruit later, everything went smoothly.

Like the straw that overwhelms the camel, eight times the gravity is really not comparable to the limit represented by four times the gravity. Even if you break through to the evil realm, it will still be difficult without any star power. The previous ten days, I don’t know. How much you have suffered. When the training was over, and when I saw Athena who took the Devil Fruit and fell asleep like a peaceful baby, I only felt that there was another strength in my body. After hurriedly eating and resting, I plunged into the self-abuse training again.

Chen Rui had taken two black potions, Eternal Power and Eternal Speed, but the potency was not fully absorbed at that time. In this high-pressure practice, the effects of the drugs accumulated in the body were finally fully exerted.

Diu Diu had always been obsessed with Devil Fruits, but since he tasted the barbecue made by Chen Rui, he began to change his taste, and he was even more determined to this master. Athena was still hanging the devil fruit tree, but Chen Rui told her that she had managed to hide it, and Athena was relieved.

The two-legged flying dragon set off from the rainy jungle, and it took a day and a half to finally reach the destination of the Xilang Mountains.

In the rolling Xilang Mountains, there are many lofty mountains, deep valleys and ravines, and the area is vast. All the way to the west, you can reach the town of Leia, which is at the junction with the Shadow Empire. Xilang Mountain is the largest mountain in the Xilang Mountains, but Xilang Mountain has been controlled by thieves, and now the mining office is set under the remote Lugang Mountain.

When Chen Rui and Athena landed on the two-legged flying dragon according to the magic map, the guards and miners at the entrance of the mine were all startled.

Since the original mining office was occupied by thieves, the current mining office is actually a simple stone house temporarily built. Alarmed by the two-footed flying dragon, a leader who came out of the stone house looked like a horned demon with a few hideous expressions on his face. Leaning on a cane, when she saw Athena jumping off the back of the flying dragon, her eyes gradually showed surprise, she greeted her, and saluted, "You are... Miss Athena!"

"Who are you?" Athena felt that the limping horned demon looked a little familiar, and she couldn't remember the name for a while.

The Horned Demon looked a little excited: "I'm Gade. I used to follow General George in the Warlock Fortress. I was transferred here four years ago because I was injured in the conflict with the Bloody Empire."

Athena finally recalled and said with surprise: "I remember! You are the death hammer Gade! You even gave me an iron sword!"

"It's rare that Miss still remembers me," Gade Yang sighed, sighing at Yang's lost arm and disabled left leg, "Unfortunately, I'm no longer the death hammer, and the general is sympathetic to his subordinates, let me come Dark Moon is taking a leisurely job to support the elderly... Let's not talk about this, I heard that Miss Athena came to Darkmoon City three years ago, but unfortunately I have been unable to leave here. I don't know what is wrong with Miss coming to the mine today? "

"Didn't you receive the magic message from Darkmoon City? It stands to reason that the magic message has been issued since the official appointment of the eldest princess." Athena showed a puzzled look.

Gade shook his head and replied, "The messenger station here has been damaged by thieves for a long time, and it has never been able to be repaired."

Magic messenger is actually equivalent to a kind of wireless communication using messenger. A special magic messenger is needed in the middle to transmit information, which is equivalent to the "base station" of Chen Rui's previous world. If the messenger is destroyed, the magic messenger within the range are not available.

The magic station for each route must be set up separately, private and shared. For example, when the imperial capital goes to each territory, there is a dedicated magic communication station, and the "base stations" along the way are also protected by special personnel.

"It turns out that," Athena pointed at Chen Rui, "this time I was under the order of His Highness Shia to protect your newly appointed mine officer."

This sentence made the eyes of everyone present fall on the human who thought it was Miss Athena's "attendant". Although the news was not available, the challenge of Master Ardas to defeat the genius of the imperial capital has spread to every corner of the dark moon. Even in a remote area like Xilang Mountain, you have heard of it. This should be the human apprentice of the master, but how did the mere apprentice change his body and become the immediate boss of everyone inexplicably?

Chen Rui has been different from what it used to be, and in all eyes, he took out a magic commission signed by Shia. While everyone was paying attention to him, Chen Rui was also observing the "soldiers" under his command. There were about a dozen guards, consisting of horned demons and dark elves. There were not many miners present, all of them were lowly demons and dark goblins. Most of the demons have a common feature, that is, they are sluggish and listless.

Gade took over the commission and looked at it, his brows gradually wrinkled, and with his eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the true from the false.

The Horned Demon glanced at Athena, and had no doubts in his heart. He immediately bowed to Chen Rui and said, "Guide, the captain of the mine guard, has seen the mine officer."

The guards and miners were all surprised when they saw Gade saluting. It seems that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess really appointed this weak human as the mine officer!

Like many people, Gade is very disapproving of this appointment. A powerless human being is worthy of leading everyone, but due to the inconvenience of Athena's face, he made a gesture of invitation: "Please come inside. Come talk, Connor, go get some food! The rest of the people... do their thing!"

Chen Rui and Athena followed Gade into the stone house. The facilities in the stone house were very simple, just two stone tables and a few chairs, and there was a bed in the back.

"I'm sorry, Miss, the conditions here are very difficult, there's nothing to entertain, let's have something to eat later," Gade asked the two to sit down and asked Athena, "Miss, when are you going to return to Darkmoon? city?"

Athena shook her head: "I am ordered by the eldest princess to protect Chen Rui here until his work ends or he is transferred."

Gade was slightly shocked, and then nodded with a complicated expression.

Chen Rui saw it in his eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "Gade, we just came here, can you briefly introduce the situation here?"

Gade hesitated for a moment, then began to speak.

Xilang Mountain is extremely rich in mineral deposits and has a long history of mines. It has always been the largest and most important resource for Dark Moon. After the Beelzebub royal **** that happened in the dark moon four hundred years ago, the prosperous dark moon began to fall into ruin, and many changes occurred in the mines one after another. The underground creatures that had been sealed suddenly broke through the barrier. , occupying the lower layer of the main mine, is also equivalent to controlling the largest ore vein area, which greatly increases the difficulty of mining, and is often life-threatening.

More than a year ago, a powerful gang of Red Devil thieves appeared again. Not only did they rob the caravan sent by the eldest princess Shia, but they also harassed the mine from time to time. They also sent teams to occupy the main mine and several newly opened small mines. , and also killed miners heading for mining.

Now the miners can only be under the leadership of Gade, while defending against the attacks of thieves, while mining some cheap open-pit ore, although the danger is reduced, but the profit and output are extremely low. The eldest princess once sent sheriff Allen to destroy the thieves because of the caravan, but was defeated by the thieves twice.

Athena heard that the situation in the mine was so bad, much worse than what she learned from Shia, and frowned: "Why don't you report to Darkmoon City?"

"We've reported it countless times," Gade sighed, "but even the army sent by Darkmoon City has failed, what else can we do? If it wasn't for Miss coming today, I would have thought that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess would have given up on us. already."

Chen Rui knew that the direct supervisor of the mining business was the financial officer, and it was Joseph. Therefore, it was "reasonable" that the information passed to Shia's ears was limited, and now he asked a key question: "When I took office in the mine, it was "reasonable". What happened to the clerk?"

The last mine officer was Tim of the Sever family. Gade spoke highly of this Lord Tim, and his words revealed a faint contempt for Chen Rui. After Tim came to the mine, he made a series of rectification measures, which was quite prestigious. At that time, the main disaster in the mine was the underground creatures. Tim brought a group of people. When he went down to the main mine to investigate the situation, everyone suddenly disappeared, and even the bodies were not found. It is estimated that they were buried in the mouth of the monster.

Chen Rui counted the time. When Tim was there, Shia had not sent a caravan to the west, so at most there were only sporadic thieves. After cutting off the westbound trade route, the target of control was transferred to the mine. It seemed that he was going to squeeze Dark Moon's neck step by step until he was completely exhausted.

The reason why Gade and the others were left alive was not because of the kindness of the thieves, but because they had not reached the final moment and did not want to attract more attention from Shia. Once a certain time came, Chen Rui could imagine that each At the same time, the black hand at the office made a deadly attack at the same time. I am afraid that Shia has the talent of the sky, and he can only wait to die. This is a very careful and vicious plan.

I'm here this time, and there is a task given by Master Ardas," Chen Rui thought about the most important purpose of this trip, "Master is now experimenting with a peculiar potion, which needs that kind of waste ore. The crystal powder on , can you take me to see it? "

"Waste ore? Crystal powder?" Gade frowned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "You're talking about something attached to iron ore, right? That crystal is very troublesome, and it's hard to get rid of it, let alone get it. It's turned into powder. And this kind of crystalline waste mine is only found in the main mine of Xilang Mountain, and now it is the control area of ​​​​the thieves."

Chen Rui reluctantly asked again, "Where are the old waste mines?"

Gade replied: "The waste mines are all piled up in the waste mine room. The waste mine room is located in a corner of the upper layer of the main mine. Now the amount of mine is too small. There used to be a few people who stole the waste mine and transported them back to the city together. Later Detected by the thieves and killed."

Chen Rui's brows were furrowed. Zach had mentioned this before, but he didn't expect the real situation to be even worse. Those waste mines that were converted in the Darkmoon City blacksmith shop,

Every piece is stained with the miners' blood!

PS: I am angry with the power department of a city in Hunan Province for leaving the ground! The power went out again at 9:00 in the morning, and it was this area again! I called and said that the area was overloaded and the equipment was burned, Nima! Now that it's not snowing and it's not freezing, why did you go earlier? There is such a problem as the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are more residents in other districts than here, and the power has never been cut off!
