Chapter 587: Alliance of 2 Empires
The origin of the Purple Flame Heart ring was that Roman hooked up with the mayor’s 35th wife, Nalini, in Town Leia, then Nalini gave it to Roman, which was then given to Chen Rui.
Nalini’s life was very miserable. She was betrayed by a beloved man. As a bargaining chip to advance, he used drugs to knock her out and dedicate her to Old Kander. In order to get revenge, she had an affair with Roman and stole the Purple Flame Heart from Old Kander’s collection and gave it to him. Chen Rui met Nalini for less than 1 hour, but her tears that couldn’t be melted by the flames affected him greatly which made him cherish what he had in front of him more.
The master of the Purple Flame Heart was actually not Old Kander. The old guy snatched it from a down-and-out family in the Dark Shadow Empire 300 years ago. It had little effect on enhancing male abilities, but the real mystery was more than that. It was said that it was related to a certain treasure. However, no matter how he studied it, it was just a common item. He said that it was a fake product with unfounded rumors.
The mystery is revealed after I just threw it to Dodo today. It is really related to the treasure, and it is the treasure of the Dead Sea!
“Dodo, show me the ring!”
“Master! Don’t steal the treasure that I have collected for many years! This is my painstaking effort from a... Uh, supreme master, your wisdom and intelligence are comparable to the 2 moons of the sky! Please accept your loyal servant’s offer of the most sincere gift for him.” Dodo extended both hands and handed the Purple Flame Heart ring up respectfully. The reason for the huge contrast between the attitudes of the slime was that Chen Rui had a gem in his hand which looked much larger, magnificent and shining than that ring.
The slime carefully handed the ring to Chen Rui. He was overjoyed when he saw that the master didn’t seem to take the ruby gem back. After putting down the ring, he grabbed the gem quickly and held it tightly in the palm of his hand as words of flattery gushed out endlessly.
Chen Rui automatically filtered the slime’s compliment. He picked up the Purple Flame Heart ring and looked at it. The strange thing was that he actually couldn’t see how the ring turned into glasses despite his current eyesight and alchemy level. Besides that, the treasure map had also lost its initial fluctuation.
“Dodo, how did you turn it into glasses just now?” Chen Rui threw the Purple Flame Heart to Dodo again, “Try again.”
Dodo took the ring as he held the ruby tightly with another hand. The ring glowed strangely in Dodo’s hands and turned into a liquid form. It instantly solidified into a pair of purple glasses, and the treasure map immediately fluctuated like it was responding to the glasses.
Then as soon as the glasses reached Chen Rui’s hands, it changed back to the ring after about 2 minutes.
This is not logical! Chen Rui frowned. Why can Dodo do it, but it won’t work as soon as it gets into my hands? Even the [Deep Analysis] of the Super System didn’t respond as if this thing didn’t need to be analyzed at all.
Could it be that this legendary treasure of the Dark Dragon Emperor is related to the slime or the ancestors of the slime?
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that Dodo was an abnormal mutation that occurred after he devoured the flesh and blood of a dying red dragon... Wait, the essence of the soul condensed after the death of the red dragon – Dragon Power Essence!
It turns out that the ring can be turned into glasses with the power of Dragon Power Essence. Chen Rui borrowed the power of Dodo to turn on the glasses, then he put them on to look at the treasure map, and it really changed. In the vast ocean, an island with a special shape appeared. There was a faintly glowing place in the middle which should be the location of the treasure. He could zoom in and out just like a 3D map, but he could not see them clearly as a lot of black mist was covering it.
This set of items is very wonderful. It requires not only a treasure map and a ring, but also the power of Dragon Power Essence. Otherwise, even if one has a treasure map and glasses at the same time, he would be looking for a needle in a haystack. At the Town Moling’s trade fair back then, the goblin profiteer who sold the fragments of treasure map to me once said that the treasure map recorded is probably the treasure of the legendary Dark Dragon Emperor. Judging from the need for the Dragon Power Essence, it is most probably true.
Chen Rui secretly rejoiced that if Dodo didn’t happen to get the “infatuation ring”, the treasure hunting at the Dead Sea would definitely fail. However, whether it’s treasures or materials such as phantom coral and blue star water, it’s not the most important thing. The main goal this time is to ask the Dark Elemental King to treat Isabella.
Since I am going to the Dead Sea anyway, I’ll just take Dodo along, maybe there is an unexpected discovery.
Dodo had goosebumps when he saw the master’s eyes looking at him. He thought that his corrupt attempt to get the Purple Flame Heart was exposed, so he quickly handed the ring back sensibly.
Chen Rui put away the ring and did not say much to Dodo. He walked straight upstairs. There was still a madam lord’s empty body and mind that needed to be filled by him.
Upon entering the room, the madam lord laid leisurely on the bed without any clothes on. The astonishing sexy body looming under the half-unlinked shirt gave him a strong visual impact. The guy immediately felt his blood boiling. Seeing the man walking step by step, the female lord’s face blushed with an intoxicating red glow. She gently bit her lips to reveal a faint smile. Apparently, she wanted to enjoy herself before the little charming girl came back.
In the next 3 days, except for occasionally returning to the capital to discuss and negotiate with Shea, Chen Rui spent most of his time in the Dark Moon to accompany Athena and Kia.
At this time, the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Shadow Empire’s negotiations were at a stalemate. As both sides showed an unusually determined attitude on the key condition of “talent exchange” and refused to let go, they had not been able to reach a consensus.
In just a few days, the 3 new items of the capital had been famous to an astonishing level.
Since the introduction of the aromatic millet wine, the Princess Retail Store has been in short supply every day despite its high price. The limited quantity was sold out early in the morning. As the number of purchases was restricted by the VIP level, the sales of other products in the Princess Retail Store had also soared under the upsurge of the aromatic millet wine.
The Princess Retail Store’s previous marketing strategy had always been a high-end route. It was quite successful in the Dark Moon Estate, which was originally economically sluggish, but it was not as flourishing when it came to the capital. The Fallen Angel Capital was the center of the empire. There was no shortage of merchants with rich heritage such as thousand-year-old stores and 10,000-year-old stores. Most of them had fixed consumer groups which were far better than the “newcomer” like the Princess Retail Store. Furthermore, it was not difficult for the products launched by the princess to be imitated. With the brand effect being inferior to others, the sales of the capital’s Princess Retail Store were average and far less than in the Dark Moon. In contrast, the business in the branch of the Dark Shadow Empire that was a “joint venture” with the Custer Family was much better.
Now, the Princess Retail Store finally had the most powerful killing weapon. This new type of fine wine was far better than the capital’s most famous black grape wine in terms of taste and strength. And this was the one and only store selling it which could not be imitated. The customers were all rushing to it, and many even got into conflicts for buying the fine wine. Fortunately, the Princess Villa was stepping up its restoration. Once it reopened, it would definitely allow more wine customers to feast on it.
In contrast, the cost of another novelty, the newspaper, was much cheaper. Presently, newspapers spread rapidly to various estates from the capital. A large number of people would take the initiative to pick it up at the newly-built newspaper office every day. The content of the newspaper was richer with each issue; it added from 1 page to 2 pages.
The front page was news on the current affairs including the key instructions of Her Majesty Empress, changes in the palace positions, newly decided policies and others. The difference was that there were some other estates’ news such as the military exercise of the Dark Moon Estate and the new lord of the Blue Lava Estate, Sumen’s public appointments and so on. On the back was entertainment news including the very popular television program list and some practical tips. In addition to this, there was also a column that introduced the various products of the Princess Retail Store, especially the aromatic millet wine. It also included the news that the Princess Villa would reopen after 10 days.
This column had attracted the attention of many people. For some smart businesses, they keenly sensed more things: Promoting our stores and products in the newspaper can greatly increase the degree of attention. This is simply a revolutionary propaganda method. According to Her Majesty Empress’ newly established media department’s chief minister, Redotan. Torre, this column is called “Advertisement.”
Compared with newspapers which were published in texts and pictures, the magic television, which directly impacted the visual senses, was obviously more popular. When the battle ball match in the Dark Moon was broadcasted live on the magic television previously, it gained huge popularity by all fans.
The Mechanic Association’s knowledge lectures on weapon maintenance and the Princess Retail Store’s women’s beauty tips shared by Lilu were also warmly welcomed. In response to the strong request of the general public, the Mechanic Association launched a series of knowledge lectures. The second episode was about the simple identification of various equipment. The Potioneer Association had also begun to produce related lectures. 10 sessions of “Teacher Lilu’s Beauty Course” were added after it was sought after by the majority of female audiences. Some guests would be invited to participate in each session.
The media department chief minister, Redotan, promised to the public that he would launch more and more programs on the television. He also announced a sensational news: The home version of this magic television would be publicly sold after a period of time! At that time, everyone could watch a full set of exciting programs more comfortably in their own homes. Users who were interested could order in advance from the Night Chamber of Commerce designated by the media department. All of a sudden, orders swarmed the Night Chamber of Commerce, The elder families behind it even laughed heartily, but everyone was clear that these benefits, including greater benefits in the future, were bestowed by Her Majesty Empress. They could naturally be taken back or given to someone who was more trustworthy.
Her Majesty Empress deterred all the families by annihilating the Mishan Family with one move, then she threw a series of irresistible baits which tied the elder families tightly to her warship. This was clearly a scheme, but it was foreseeable that as long as this continued, the royal families, elder families, major families, the capital and even the entire empire would usher in prosperity that was unimaginable during Obsidian’s era.
For profit and survival, the best way now was to surrender to Her Majesty Empress, unite closely around the empress, as well as advance and retreat together. Otherwise, once the Fallen Angel Empire was defeated by the foreign enemy, everything would be in vain.
The trends of several “new things” in this short period of time had also attracted Crawford’s close attention. These things had incalculable development prospects both in politics and economics. The high degree of cooperation demonstrated by everyone in the Fallen Angel Empire made Crawford secretly startled.
The Fallen Angel Empire in this state is no longer the Fallen Angel Empire that Catherine the Great perceived. Realizing this, Crawford began to re-evaluate the Fallen Angel Empire’s proposal to use the magic television and other projects as the main bargaining chip of the cooperation.
After Crawford asked Catherine the Great several times for instructions, the stalemate between both sides began to have a new development.
TL: Dodo is acting more and more similar to Paglio, good or bad🤔? Dodo can finally kick some ass🤭?
