Eugene, fearing she would drown the snail, quickly threatened her, which calmed the little mermaid down.
He was preparing to lead his troops back when a sudden idea struck him.
hiss.
Heretics, may I read magic books?
He frowned and turned to look at the chattering monsters.
Their gazes finally settled on Rey, who stood calmly and quietly.
By the way, the first magic book to appear in the original work was given to Bell by Freya.
The title is "Modern Magic That Even Goblins Can Understand".
Although it may be an exaggeration, there is no doubt that it is implying something.
Eugene had always trusted the magic books that the system provided.
So far, the magic created with it has been considered extremely powerful.
Even if Eugene unlocks the "Ninefold" specifically for linking level enhancements, it becomes a divine skill that can extend the duration of enhancements and can be used on oneself.
Since it's said that even goblins can understand it, and demi-humans can use it without any problems.
So, what about the heretics?
Just do it!
Since I'm going back just to show off anyway, I might as well upgrade everything from top to bottom – that'll be awesome!
A bunch of oddballs go out, but they all come back dressed in suits. With such a contrast, who would dare to say a word?
Eugene's eyes lit up as he strode toward Rey, his steps so brisk they startled Miss Songbird.
"what are you doing?"
She instinctively shrank back, afraid that he would give her another bear hug.
Unexpectedly, Eugene's first question was: "Can you read?"
? ?
What is going on?
Rey's lips twitched, and she slowly nodded.
She was, after all, a veteran, and over the years, unlike those two fools, Guros and Reed, who, with Fels' help, had learned quite a bit of academic subjects.
"That's good."
Eugene took out a thick magic book and handed it to Rey.
"Take advantage of this time and finish reading it quickly."
Rey was puzzled. They were about to set off, so what was going on?
"Just focus on your studies, find a comfortable place, and go quickly."
Seeing that Eugene was very serious, Miss Songbird had no choice but to walk to one side of the cave, find a spot, and start flipping through the book.
Eugene followed her to a corner, sat down cross-legged in front of her, and carefully observed Rey's reaction.
"Hey, stop staring at me like that."
Rey was a little embarrassed, but Eugene didn't budge at all.
He insisted that Rey continue reading, and she had no choice but to continue reading those obscure words.
The essence of modern magic... magic?
Is this a book about magic?
Why did Eugene show me this? Was it because I asked him about magic before?
Could it be that he also wants me to understand magic?
However, unless they are born with it, heretics have no chance of learning magic.
Fels never mentioned any of this...
Rey's inner voice grew more frequent and louder.
Unbeknownst to her, her surroundings had quietly changed.
It wasn't until those shadows and psychological reflections that shared her origins appeared before her that Rey realized she had entered another place!
"here it is?"
Strangely, she didn't feel unfamiliar or dangerous; she only felt a sense of tranquility.
Because this is the very depths of her heart.
"You've come." "You've come."
As Rey walked forward, two different figures appeared at the end of her vision.
They arrived in the blink of an eye, but their appearance surprised Rey.
Because one of them was a radiant woman, while the other was a giant bird covered in feathers.
Compared to Rey, who is half-human and half-bird, the three of them are very different in form and each forms an angle.
"What... what's going on here?"
In the real world, Eugene's gaze hardened as he saw Rey fall into a deep sleep.
He saw Rey's furrowed brows and guessed that she was going through a period of emotional turmoil.
How to define oneself has always been a psychological problem for those who are considered outsiders.
They crave change, yet fear it.
Little did they know, they were themselves the best.
However, this was just Eugene's own idea.
Whatever Rey chooses, he will respect her choice.
Moreover, even if you don't get any good skills on the first try, you still have two magic slots left!
Seeing Miss Songbird fall into a deep sleep, Niu Niu took out a blanket and covered her with it.
Then, he leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Go, no matter what, your song will resound through the heavens."
He made no further interference, got up and left, leaving Wright and the others to watch over the surroundings.
"Marie! Let's go!"
Eugene leaped into the water and lifted the mermaid princess up in his arms.
Mary, who was playing with a Den Den Mushi, looked confused: "Where are we going?"
Eugene laughed and said, "The gifts have all been eaten, shouldn't we prepare a new one?"
"While Rey is resting, let's go down again."
Mary nodded excitedly upon hearing this.
Then, the two of them vanished from the spot in a flash.
The 27th floor, atop a reef.
Niu Niu and the mermaid have appeared here.
Before leaving last time, Eugene had already placed a talisman here to facilitate rapid travel.
With a 'r' sound, Eugene used echolocation to confirm the situation in the lake.
As he expected, the production of ordinary monsters was unaffected.
Within a few days, the place was filled with a large number of monsters again.
Before the appearance of the Water Dragon King Amphisbina, this place was a waterway ruled by giant water snakes and giant monster fish.
"Alright, sing, Mary!"
Eugene hardened his mind, exuding the aura of an intruder.
And Mary, too, began to sing, spreading the enchanting song of the monster to every direction of the lake.
The situation is exactly the same as last time.
This time, a large number of fearless demons rushed towards the two people in the lake.
And their fates will be exactly the same!
Consuming one-tenth of stamina and magic power, Infinite Solar Fist!
"The merciless sun!!"
The immense light evaporated the lake water and also dried up the bodies of the monsters.
The shockwave reversed the tide, melting away all shadows within its range.
The wind howled, the sun sank, and this destructive sunlight made the monsters experience the temperature of the ground for the first time in their lives.
They died with cursed bloodlines, and perished with the chaotic thoughts of 403.
Without hatred or regret, crushing the dead and annihilating them without pain, such slaughter is at least somewhat acceptable.
So, after the billowing smoke and tremors subsided...
Eugene and Marie resumed their collection of magic stones.
After some time, they returned home with a full load.
When the bull returned carrying a large sack of magic stones, Wright and the others were somewhat withdrawn, aside from their awe.
We have wasted our lives before!
The combined efficiency of a whole hard-fought hunt couldn't even match the efficiency of a single bull hunt by the guild leader!
They watched with envy and felt resentful.
But there is nothing we can do.
