Why the "Monarch Killer" had been so active before, now she finally understood.

What could be more effective than to make the subjects of the empire lose faith in the former empress during a coup d'état?

If you use a little more time to think calmly, you may still be able to maintain the trust of your people, but you just can't bear it.

"Captain Mei Xiu always reminds me, saying that I am impatient......"

Emily smiled self-deprecatingly, suddenly feeling a pain in her chest.

When she thought of Captain Mei Xiu, who had died in order to give herself a chance to survive, she was obviously mortally injured but forced to breathe, and she didn't die until she told her the key information, she felt breathless.

As in other scenes of the day, whether it was the petrification of one's own father or the slaughter of those who supported him...... Whenever she thinks of these images that always linger in her dreams, she feels as if her heart has been slashed by someone.

Sadness, rage, hatred, pain, loneliness, helplessness, despair......

What came out of the extreme was the incomparable crazy killing intent.

Although it seems that he has calmed down, and has begun to act in order to regain the throne and save his father. But Emily knew very well that she had a very strong desire for revenge, which was a great hatred and rage.

It's just that the goal of catharsis is not in sight.

If she really had that chance, she would definitely not mind chopping Delilah and Duke Luca Abel into meat sauce and feeding them to the dogs.

With a long sigh, Emily turned and walked into a dark and remote alley, and Emily kept taking deep breaths to calm her emotions.

This is near a black market store, after all, it is a black store, of course, it must be opened in as remote a place as possible, and it is impossible to open in the center of the city openly, right? In that case, even if you bribe Team David, it's useless.

Due to the lack of funds, Emily was not able to buy much of it, but only bought some necessary weapons and equipment, and the rest of the money was used to buy ancient runes.

That's right, the underground black market in Sokonos is indeed worthy of its reputation, you can really buy anything, just find a black market shop nearby, and there are three ancient runes among the goods.

- This thing is not expensive, but it is not cheap when it is said to be cheap, after all, the quantity itself is very scarce.

It's just that it's so miraculous, but I've never heard of anyone who can really use the power of runes, and holding it in your hand may give the Mortal Academy a fair reason to ruin your family.

This is the so-called "priceless treasure", it can't be cheap, but it is absolutely impossible to be expensive, otherwise it will not be sold at all, and it can only rot in your hands.

In fact, the owner of the black shop mysteriously told Emily that if she could afford it, then as long as she waited for a while, at most five or six days, he would be able to bring in a large number of ancient runes from other places......

It's a pity that Her Majesty the Empress has neither money nor time, so she only took down three runes, replenished ammunition or something, and left.

Next, just go straight to Admire Station, she felt that she should be able to get there before anyone else.

After all, the danger of buying something in a black store is much less than the trouble of going to the stronghold of the Abbey.

……

……

A living house near the docks.

The apartment building of the Overseer outpost, in the storage room.

“…… Lying in the mud of the Gobi ......"

Obviously, it should be very imposing, and a foul word that broke out directly, but Mo Chen inserted his hands into his hair, his eyes were dull, and he slowly confided in a state of lovelessness.

Except for the ancient runes that had to be divided into half for Empress Emily according to the principle of fairness and investment behavior, he only had two ancient runes left now, and the others had been strengthened just now.

However......

In addition to being able to clearly feel that his physical fitness has soared sharply again, the upper limit of his magic power has been broken through again and again, and the "Void Perception" and "Flickering Teleportation" that he has mastered have been strengthened again-

He still hadn't developed any new magical abilities, which left him in a state of deep self-doubt and self-denial.

"It shouldn't be......"

Mo Chen stood up with a headache, he didn't plan to continue like this, he had a hunch that if he didn't find the key, he was afraid that he would always have to maintain such an embarrassing situation.

He definitely didn't believe that he was a non-chief, and he wasn't drawing cards or opening boxes or anything!

Therefore, at this time, it is time to ask for external assistance, and the question of the magic ability brought by the Outsider Demon Mark is naturally the most appropriate to consult the Outsider himself, after all, how long has it been, and it is still within the warranty period, right?

And Mo Chen didn't worry about anything, an outsider like an outsider like an outsider demon was the least dangerous.

The Outsider always seems to be neutral about what happens in the mortal world. He never spoke of conditions for those he bestowed with supernatural powers, and he never considered status or personal effort in how to choose.

For example, the section chief, who does not seek the Outsider, is granted a mark by the Outsider.

However, Anton Sokolov tried tens of thousands of summoning rituals and sacrifices, but the Outsider never bothered him.

However, Mo Chen felt that he should not be Anton Sokolov, if he really wanted to see that guy, that guy should be happy to show up, but ...... A little bit of medium is needed.

He stood up and walked to the door, rummaging through the chest—these plus the ancient runes from earlier, like the bone amulet, belonged to some girl who had been impregnated by the Overseers.

The runes and bone runes were removed from the Outer Demon Shrine she had set up.

And Mo Chen is now going to use these materials to build the Outsider Demon Shrine again. It was an altar dedicated to the sacrifice of Outsider Demons, and it was also the tipping point for entering the Void.

During the game, the Outsider will often speak to the protagonist in front of each shrine, and he will usually reveal interesting things about the target, other people, or what happened during the mission at hand.

It only took a few minutes for Mo Chen to build a simple altar, and then staggered two pieces of ancient runes on top of the altar.

As it turned out, his hunch was correct, and the Outsider wouldn't hide it, as long as he was interested, he would definitely come and take a look-

At the moment when the two ancient runes were placed on the altar, Mo Chen suddenly felt that the gloomy environment around him seemed to become even darker, and the space seemed to have a vague tendency, as well as the tearing sensation caused by the arrival of foreign objects.

The next moment, the void descended.

A boundless dark space, in the ethereal void, floating small islands of fragmentation.

A young man with eyes as dark as the Void Realm, exuding a dark glow, appeared in front of Mo Chen's eyes, and he crossed his arms with interest, looking the latter up and down.

It took about a few minutes before he slowly said straight to the point: "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”

“……”

“……”

This is really direct enough, the corners of Mo Chen's mouth twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath, and then asked seriously: "Why can't I always master other magic?" ”

"Huh?" The Outsider was slightly stunned, and then his expression became a little strange, "How do I know this, isn't it your own problem?" ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that Mo Chen's expression did not seem to be fake, the Outsider frowned, and after thinking about it for a while, he explained:

"I gave you the sigil, just like everyone else, but I only gave you a "way" to communicate directly with the Void, and I didn't interfere too much with how you use the power of the Void......

"The power of the Void itself is amorphous chaos, and it is only through you sigil bearers or occultists like witches that you can communicate, bridge, and vent."

"It has no fixed properties in itself, and it depends on the thoughts of you, the users, what form it takes to give this amorphous power...... More precisely, it is your understanding and shaping of the Void that projects it. ”

Mo Chen blinked, feeling as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

"Each seal bearer's abilities are different, some of the similarities are a reflection of the nature of the void itself, and some of the differences are not the ones I deliberately created. As I said, I will only give this power to you, but I will not interfere. ”

The Outsider didn't care, and didn't show the slightest sign of impatience, he just flashed and suddenly appeared in another place.

He sat down on a protruding rock formation and looked at Mo Chen.

"The difference in the embodiment of the ability is due to the fact that the holder of the mark has a different understanding of the void, and the amorphous power is shaped into different forms according to their cognition...... Or, more precisely, their own will and beliefs. ”

At this moment, Mo Chen suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he seemed to understand something.

It's like Queen Emily, compared to the others, she doesn't have a teleportation-type magic ability in terms of movement, but a "long climb" that fires magic vines to pull herself over or enemies over.

Perhaps it had something to do with the coup d'état she had experienced as a child, and her father had been trying to teach her climbing techniques and other escape techniques, so that she might be able to use them sometime...... That terrifying experience is absolutely unforgettable.

And as an empress, she is also very unique in terms of her own magical abilities.

Legendary assassins like Section Chief and Uncle Daode have mastered extremely lethal magical abilities, fierce and fierce but silent, killing people and stealing things, as if they were in a no-man's land.

But Emily, though also deadly, is more adept at trickery and confusing her enemies.

Mo Chen hadn't thought about this question before, but now that he heard the Outsider say this, he suddenly felt that it was because she was the empress, so he ...... Even when it comes to the mastery of magical abilities, the type that is more inclined to conquer the will of others?

Looking at his thoughtful appearance, the Outsider nodded, and said in a flat tone, "Maybe that's it, but you don't have the same experience as them, so you haven't mastered other magic." ”

Because there is no particular inclination, it is always strengthening the existing strength.

So no matter how much he gets from the void, he is only constantly strengthening the essential things, and he has not been able to shape a new form?

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth: "That...... Is there any workaround? ”

"Yes, and it's simple." The Outsider said succinctly, "As long as you use the power of the ancient runes, try to imagine in what direction you want to direct the power of the void and give it form attributes......

“……”

“……”

Wait, it's that simple?

In this case, didn't you waste many, many opportunities?

Mo Chen was stunned, and after reacting to how easy it was to understand the method that the outsider demon said, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and he felt like he wanted to grab the ground with his head.
