Pascal Town

A town on the way to Bloody Vine City from Shadow Empire capital

Pascal Town was about the same size as Leia Town.

## Story

Fatilu took Chen Rui's hand and came to a private house. This house looked very ordinary, and it seemed only middle class. Fatilu knocked on the door with a special rhythm and the door opened immediately. It was an ordinary-looking female Great Demon (Naru) at the strength of Higher Demon who opened the door. She immediately walked into the house with the two of them.

Sabrina was very cautious. The Dark Shadow Empire wasn't a remote place like Dark Moon. There were many ways to interfere with and capture unofficial magic communication towers. Therefore, to contact her, it could only be achieved by designated people using specific methods. Otherwise, even Fatiro wouldn't be able to contact her mother on the road.

They make a long-distance call to Sabrina using the emergency contact.

"Mom, I've completed the most important task!" Fatilu excitedly pulled Chen Rui to the mirror and said, "I brought the trio-specialized master!"

"Well done." Sabrina didn't care about the death of the bodyguards and nodded approvingly. Then, she sneered again, "Let's see what that overbearing woman has to say now! You don't know yet, but that mechanic master, Horford was recommended by her. Unexpectedly, he failed the first time he took part in an operation!

Chen Rui's thoughts moved slightly. The "overbearing woman" that Sabrina mentioned was called Izola, who was favored by Fatilu's father. Besides, her means and strength were also very good, so she was Sabrina's rival. This time, her daughter did a great job, so she should be able to show off in front of Izola.

*Horford is a dual-specialized master, and he is probably a disciple of the Demon Realm's top mechanic master, Nate. He was actually recommended by Izola. Is the Bloody Empire's Nate related to this force as well?*

Sabrina then reveals that she received a report from Kia. Kia was sent by Shea to negotiate a business deal with the Custer Family to alleviate the Food sanctions from the Fallen Angel capital. Dior then fell in love with Kia, and Master Arthur helped Dior win the Mechanic contest. But after Master Arthur disappeared, Dior lost his status as Custer Family heir to Celine, and Kia returned to the capital.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Even if there isn't the Custer Family, the problem isn't big. The key is that master has come here... Master, I'm telling a lot of secrets in front of you, do you understand what I mean?"

"Ma'am can't use these means." Chen Rui shook his head, "Since I'm willing to come here, I'm obviously mentally prepared. However, the reward I want must be true. Don't try to trick me!"

Sabrina frowned and asked, "Fatilu, what benefit did you promise the master?"

"I promised master to lend him the greatest artifact of the Leviathan Royal Family for him to study!" Fatilu replied proudly.

"Illusive Demon Shield?" Sabrina was taken aback, "Isn't the artifact... how can you make such a promise?!"

"I'm not only a trio-specialized master, but my talent in magic circles isn't any less than my talent in the three specializations. Illusive Demon Shield is the strongest defense among the seven artifacts. The most mysterious thing is the magic circle on it. I don't mean to take the Illusive Demon Shield as my own. Ma'am should know that except for the people recognized by the artifacts in the Leviathan Royal Family, it's useless for anyone else to have the artifact. What I want is to study the artifact. That'll absolutely benefit me a lot in terms of mechanics. If ma'am doubts my sincerity, then there isn't a need for us to meet."

Other than some necessary concealment, there was also a long term goal – Magic Shield.

*At the very least, I must make that Dark Shadow's general devastated and suffer.*

"Master, I'm currently around Vaulx Town at the border of Bloody Vine Estate. I'll hurry over to pick you up. It may take about five days. Before that, please stay in Pascal Town. You can tell Fatilu if you have any request. I believe she'll satisfy you."

On the evening of the next day, Chen Rui suddenly had a strange feeling as if he was being watched. He deliberately came out to wander around with Fatilu. The data that appeared occasionally in the range of Analytical Eyes made him finally determine one thing. The analytic eyes displayed envy royal family with strength at the peak of Great Demon King. It was Fatilu's mother, Sabrina! But her true strength was likely higher.

*Originally, she said that it would take five days to send someone to pick me up, but they actually came in two days. Besides, the information about Vaulx Town might also be fake. The purpose was to test me!*

*They surely aren't an easy opponent! Also... Sabrina is probably just a pawn in this force.*

After Chen Rui understood Sabrina's surveillance, he didn't change anything deliberately and continued to drink and flirt with Fatilu. Certainly, the flirting was just a performance between master and puppet. Under the control of Chen Rui, Fatilu's rudeness and arrogance still showed from time to time, which made the woman who was watching secretly shake her head.

The fifth day came and Sabrina indeed came from "Vaulx Town" in a hurry. After the observations these few days, coupled with the fact that there was no movement in Vaulx, Sabrina's wariness was reduced by a lot, and she began to formally "surface".
