Chapter 249 Maker Contest! Heir Key
Remember for a second
Seven days later, the carriage finally reached its destination, the imperial capital.
The emperors of the three major empires were directly named after the country. The prosperity of the movie emperor's capital was far beyond Chen Rui's expectations. The carriage stopped at a suburban post station, but the residents and scattered houses could already be seen. In front of the wide road is paved with high-quality white stone mixed with corresponding materials, which is smoother and firmer than the cement road in another world, and it looks extraordinary.
The coaches of the post station cannot enter the city gate, and there is another kind of lighter horse-drawn carriage that can pass through the imperial capital.
Fini stretched: "I've been exhausted these days. I'll get a good night's sleep when I get home."
Chen Rui smiled and said, "Lord Rummenigge, thank you for your gift and guidance along the way. I have to go to a relative's house first, so I will leave now."
Rummenigge nodded: "I hope you can pass the certification of the maker as soon as possible, here is a badge for you to hold, if you want to participate in the maker competition, even if you have not registered in advance, you can participate directly, just as us Tower ride and thank you for those fine wines of yours."
Chen Rui took the badge and bowed to Rummenigge to express his gratitude. Because he practiced the crafting technique in the forging room, the chat with Fini decreased significantly in the next few days. Fini just waved to Chen Rui to say goodbye. Monroe still ignored it, called a light carriage, and left with Rummenigge and Finney.
Chen Rui had a heart to know about the Shadow Emperor City. He walked all the way. The further he walked, the stronger the feeling of a prosperous imperial city. Yin Movie Emperor was a flat city. From the perspective of scale, even Darkmoon City was once famous for the Fallen Angels. The heyday of the empire was also much inferior. As for the degree of prosperity, the current Dark Moon can only barely be regarded as a desolate small town in front of the Yin Film Emperor.
The tall and solid city wall has a majestic momentum, and the flag of the Black Phoenix Flame King, representing the Asmodeus family, flutters in the wind. Guards with spears were neatly lined up on the city wall, all of them wearing silver armor, and the inspections at the city gates were very standard and rigorous. Due to the approaching of the Maker Competition, there were constantly Makers from all over the imperial capital, and Chen Rui easily passed the inspection as a Maker apprentice.
Due to the huge area, in addition to the main roads, the large and small streets in the imperial capital are as intricate as cobwebs, and the numerous shops and residences are dazzling. When some locals saw this kind of behavior, they couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile of "Look at this hillbilly", and the sense of superiority from the metropolis is undoubtedly obvious.
But it's the same everywhere, there's light and there's rot. Prosperity can't cover up darkness and danger. Chen Rui is very clear about this.
The imperial city is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The shops and residential buildings are distributed in the outer city. The inner city is mainly the residence of the princes and nobles. The center overlooks the high mountains in all directions, and is the seat of the tallest building, the royal palace.
The Custer family is known as the No. 1 commercial family in the Yinying Empire, and its base camp is in the inner city. However, according to the news from Ji Ya, the eldest young master Dio, who was rescued by General George, dislikes the "hometown" in the inner courtyard very much. "Now I live in a courtyard in the most prosperous southern part of the outer city.
After finally finding the other courtyard, I saw a large number of guards at the door. It seems that the young master Dio became a lot more cautious after he almost lost his life.
Just as Chen Rui walked into the gate, he was stopped by the guards.
"Please tell Mr. Dio that Ji Ya's friend has come to see him."
The guard looked at him for a while, then sneered: "Just you? An apprentice of Zhuowei also wants to see Mr. Dio?"
Another guard then laughed: "He also said that he knew the beautiful little sister Ji Ya!"
"I am indeed a friend of Jiya's little sister, so that's it..." Chen Rui took out a handful of black crystal coins: "Who invited Ji Ya's little sister to the gate to meet me, who are these black crystal coins? of."
The guards' eyes lit up. There are about ten black crystal coins, which is definitely a windfall, and they just invited Ji Ya to the door. With so many guards, they are not afraid of what this person will do.
Soon, Jiya's figure appeared at the gate. Chen Rui didn't break his promise, and gave the black crystal coin to the fastest-responding guard John, seeing the rest of the people's eyes turning red.
It was still the familiar charming succubus. Her usual maid outfit had already been replaced by a long dress with expensive materials. The slightly tighter clothes made her plump upper circumference more prominent. Although she swayed her waist slightly naturally, she moved. The room was full of yòuhuò, as if a single glance could make Zhang Jiya appear, which immediately attracted the attention of the guards around him. He was even more jealous of John, who was the first to pass the news. He was able to talk to Jiya's little sister, and also I was lucky enough to get the Black Crystal Coin.
Ji Ya looked at the big demon who claimed to be a friend, she was suspicious, and was about to ask, but the other party had already said, "Sister Ji Ya, don't you remember me? I'm Arthur, from old Gauss. friend."
When Ji Ya heard the name of Old Gauss, she was stunned, looked at Chen Rui again, and nodded: "Yes, come with me.
Chen Rui followed Ji Ya into the other courtyard. Although it was called the other courtyard, the level of luxury was far better than the palace of the Dark Moon. Ji Ya took him to a relatively secluded corner and said, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
"You don't need to worry about who I am. My current name is Arthur. I was ordered by the eldest princess to take over the work of old Gauss and to investigate the whereabouts of old Gauss." Chen Rui gave Ji
A magic letter signed by Shia herself, which ordered Ji Ya to obey all arrangements of "Arthur".
After Ji Ya read it, she handed back the magic letter with both hands, and bowed respectfully to Chen Rui: "Master Arthur."
Chen Rui nodded, took the magic letter, and with a little bit of power, the letter turned into flying ash and dissipated, and Jiya's eyes moved slightly. Although her power was imprisoned by the forbidden magic ring, her eyesight was still there. Power, I am afraid that it is not something that high-level demons can display.
There are many people with the same name in the demon world, and there are many people named Arthur. The question is, when did such a person exist beside the eldest princess?
"I got some information from the eldest princess, but I want to hear your report first." Chen Rui frowned: "Also, how did old Gauss disappear?"
Ji Ya calmed down and spoke.
The founder of the Custer family, Sacrament Custer, is a celebrity who has returned to the empire. He was originally a craftsman with ordinary qualifications. With his nimble mind and bold strategy, he started from a small magic shop. Has developed into a huge Custer family. The current patriarch Croz is also a remarkable figure. When the "Revolt of the Kings" occurred in the Yinyinghui Empire, he decisively chose Princess Catherine, who was not favored at the time, and provided a lot of money and material support. Catherine swept the rebellion in one fell swoop and ascended the throne. The Custer family, which owns the "Kong of the Dragon", has a more stable position, firmly occupying the position of the No. 1 business family.
Croz was seriously injured in his early years, and now he is approaching his twilight years. Croz has three sons and a daughter. The eldest son died in the turmoil in the imperial capital in the early years. The second son Dio became the eldest, the third son was named Faramo, and the youngest daughter was named Celine.
In terms of age, Dio is the first heir, Faramo is the second, and Celine is the third. In fact, Croz is not satisfied with these children. Dio can be mediocre, like beauty, and act recklessly. Back then, he almost turned against his family because of his political marriage. For many years, he has had a bad relationship with Anna, the concubine of the minister of finance: Faramer was cowardly and married Marlene, the sister of Warren, the second general of the Yinyinghui Empire. Marlene was a royal family of the Yinyinghui Empire. The wife was strong and the husband was weak; the remaining youngest daughter, Celine, was born in her later years. Although clever and clever, he is deeply loved, but he is not yet twenty years old, and he has too little experience and experience to inherit the family business.
Dio went out to play in the name of inspection. As a result, he disappeared for several months. Croz was always worried. After this return, he explained the assassination process. Croz put the biggest suspect on Faramo. , because if Dio dies, the biggest beneficiary is Faramo.
Crozier himself has also gone through the inheritance struggle of a fierce family. Originally, he did not expect these children to respect each other, love each other and live in peace. The devil world respects the survival of the fittest, and the able ones live. It's just that Faramo has been controlled by his wife Marlene to death, and behind Marlene is the second general representing the royal family. If he really inherits the family, then the huge family business in the future is likely to fall into the hands of "foreign relatives". So Kroz has always had a pimple in his heart.
The old Gauss, who knew all of this, made Crow more suspicious of Faramo, and the balance gradually turned to Dio. Of course, the pressure from General Wallen was still too great to ignore.
The Custer family started out as a magic shop, and is currently an officially designated supplier of weapons and magic supplies. Over the years, they have maintained a good relationship of mutual assistance and mutual benefit with the Crafter Alliance of Yinying Back to the Imperial Capital. Sponsored by the Custer family.
Croz had little time to live on his own, so he had to make a decisive decision, and finally made a decision, that is, each of the three children participating in the competition will choose one person as a supporter, and whoever chooses will be in this competition. Whoever is higher in the middle ranking will become the real first-place heir. If he can win the final competition, he will be the real heir undisputedly!
This support is two-sided, and must be approved by the maker himself. It not only tests the eyesight of the heir, but also the comprehensive ability of methods and strategies.
As soon as Croz's decision was announced, Dio and Faramo immediately began intensive preparations, but Celine, who was the least likely to inherit the family business, seemed unhurried.
Old Gauss is well versed in the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy. Under his suggestion, Dio used the internal relationship of the Makers Alliance to obtain the first-hand information of the makers who signed up for this competition. After layers of screening and evaluation, the candidates were finally selected. Reduced to two people.
A direct disciple of Master Leo of the Imperial Capital Maker Alliance, and a famous genius Maker in the Imperial Capital, Savice, who has risen in recent years.
The other is Robert, a senior craftsman, the champion of the last crafting contest and the most promising to become a master.
Of course, this Maker Contest will also attract Makers from the Fallen Angel Empire and the Blood Fiend Empire. In addition to these two people, there are also powerful factions, and they may also be unknown, but since only one can be chosen. Supporters, so you must choose the one who has the greatest chance of winning, at a minimum, and rank higher than the other two competitors as much as possible.
Old Gauss is most optimistic about the previous champion Robert. He did what he liked and launched a series of co-op offensives. I have to say that Old Gauss has been Shia's most trusted close minister for so many years, and his methods are quite commendable, but it is about to When he succeeded, the old Gauss suddenly disappeared. After this incident, Robert suddenly changed his original plan and switched to the Faramore side. It can be seen that the biggest suspect in the "evaporation" of old Gauss is Faramore.
Dio has dispatched many times to find, and sent people to track and monitor Faramo, but always found nothing.
At present, the maker competition has been forced
As it was imminent, Dio could only place the target of the draw on Saviche according to the original analysis of the original old Gauss. Saviche became famous at a young age, and behind him is a senior master like Leo. He has always looked above the top, extremely proud, and acted unscrupulously. Dio tried many methods, and finally narrowed the relationship with Saviche. . Prepare to set up a feast in the courtyard tonight, entertain Saviche, and discuss the final cooperation.
After Chen Rui learned about the situation from Ji Ya, he pondered for a while and asked Ji Ya to take him to see Dio.
Dio is a tall and thin mutant demon with a high-level demon strength. He looks like he is only in his twenties, but he is actually over two hundred years old. He looks a little haggard. caused by sè.
Without Old Gauss's plan, Dio only felt that everything was difficult. Now, when Jiya said that Dark Moon had come to a new supporter, she was in high spirits. When she saw Chen Rui dressed as an apprentice, her brows could not help but wrinkle.
But Dio finally has some insight, knowing that the person who can be sent to support by the eldest princess of the dark moon is by no means mediocre, this suit is just a cover, and immediately smiled: "Master Arthur has come from afar, more It's hard work!"
Chen Rui nodded, and after the two politely greeted each other for a while, Dio ordered the woman to step back.
"I've already heard from Jiya about the competition between your family and the craftsman." Chen Rui pondered: "Are you going to invite Saviche tonight? How confident are you?"
"I don't know either, all the benefits sent over were accepted by Saviche, but he refused to formally agree to it, which is much more difficult to deal with than that Robert." Mentioning Robert, Dio gnashed his teeth for a while, "Robert is nothing. The good stuff, actually ended up on the Faramo side!"
"It's all about means." Chen Rui shook his head, if this is the test that Croz gave his three children, then it's just the beginning. "But old Gauss's vision has always been good, Robert's hope should be slightly greater than Savice, even if If you successfully invite Savice, you may not be sure of winning."
"Then what should I do?" Dior expressed anxiety. In fact, it doesn't matter who wins the final competition in the maker competition, as long as the contestants he supports can overtake his younger brother and sister, and of course he can directly make him the heir. better.
Chen Rui smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own way."
The rewards for this Maker Contest are very rich, especially some rare materials, which are the key to making "Lei Yin". He who has reached the master level will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. ! .
