As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

The purpose is naturally to make him relax his vigilance and thus get the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Even if she didn't get the chance, she could use this opportunity to get close to him. If he really found out the truth in the end, Inissa would also benefit from it.

This is a plan that neither side will lose money on...

What a pity, what a pity!

If Chen Xing wasn't a time traveler, he would have really been fooled by her!

But in the original plot, Inesa is not a simple character.

He was able to eliminate the three princes "without leaving a trace" by using the original protagonist, and finally took the opportunity to sit on the throne and become the next king of the Holy Kingdom.

He even relied on the Trial of the Holy Temple to get rid of the current high priest and destroyed the church that actually controlled the Holy Kingdom.

How could such a big shot, who was once regarded in the forum as the "best flatterer" in the game, be a fool?

It is for this reason that Chenxing did not choose to reveal his true identity directly.

Because he couldn't be sure whether this Inessa really worshipped him, or just wanted to use his influence and power as in the original game plot.

"Tell me what you know. After all... Miss Inesa, you don't want the great scholar to keep the news secret and spread it back to the Holy Empire and the Church, right?"

Chapter 18: The Secret of the Void Beast

As the door of the warehouse slowly opened, Inissa, who was walking in front, also walked in holding an oil lamp.

The warehouse was clearly extremely messy, as if it had been abandoned long ago, but there was not a speck of dust around.

In other words, even though there is nothing stored in this warehouse, people often come here.

"The only place I found something wrong is here, but... I didn't find any secret door either."

Inissa sighed helplessly and succumbed to Morning Star's "threat".

There is no other way. Before finding my Mr. Right, the only place where I can stay safely is the Holy Empire.

Once you provoke the high-ranking officials of the Holy Empire or the Church...

Still looking for Mr. Right?

The previous great scholar was a bloody lesson.

Until now, no one knows where Finn has gone, and most people even think that he has been secretly dealt with by the Holy Empire.

After all, would a place like the Holy Empire, which values ​​face, admit that a lackey of the God King appeared in its country?

But this time, Inesa really didn't lie.

She discovered something was wrong and even used astrology to conceal it so as to prevent anyone from getting close.

But she really didn't find any secret door.

"It's really strange..."

Chenxing looked around and was sure that Inissa was not lying.

And think about it, if this place really became a hatchery for void beasts, would the secret door leading down there be set up so obviously?

Maybe... there is some special hidden magic.

Unfortunately, celestial magic only lacks the ability of illusion magic.

Perhaps it is also related to the fact that Morning Star has never seen the corresponding celestial phenomenon.

It turns out that technology is the primary productive force. After this is over, it is necessary to let Finn study celestial affairs carefully.

"I really didn't lie this time. Actually... I'd also like to remind you that it's best not to investigate too deeply. The matter of the Void Beast is not something that your Elf Forest can easily handle."

I don't know if it was out of kindness or for some other purpose, but Inesa actually gave some kind words of advice.

In her opinion, even if the Elf Forest has some strength, it will definitely not be able to bear the trouble brought by the void beasts.

Even the Holy Empire, which has always stood at the top of all countries, found it difficult to deal with the void beasts. How could it be possible just relying on the Forest of Elves?

"So... you know a lot about Void Beasts?"

Listening to Inissa's words, Chenxing narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

This sudden remark made Inissa fall silent.

What kind of person is this! I gave him some kind advice, but he still wanted to take advantage of me?

And he could think so much about just one sentence? He is indeed a "cunning villain"!

"I don't know. You asked me to lead the way and I have already led you here. Other things have nothing to do with me!"

Inissa turned her eyes away guiltily.

There was no doubt that she knew about the situation of the void beast.

After all, as a great scholar of the Holy Kingdom, and the Holy Kingdom has recently been dealing with various disasters brought about by the void monsters, would he not do research?

"Oh, that's such a pity. You've just become a great scholar at such a young age, but you're going to be dismissed so soon..."

"you!!!"

"What do you mean by me? Can't I just feel sorry for a bit?"

Chenxing spread his hands, and his rogue look made Inissa grit her teeth.

She had never seen such a shameless guy!

Compared with his true love, this kind of person is not even a bit better! !

But if this kind of threat...

"I......."

Inissa opened her mouth, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.

If this confidential matter were to be made known to others and then leaked by the other party, I would also be suspected after returning to the Holy Empire!

Let's not talk about it...

"What? It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I'm not a demon. I will never force anyone to do something they don't want to do!"

Morning Star patted Inissa's shoulder and explained with a kind look on his face.

This behavior also made Inissa even more speechless.

Yes, there is really no coercion, it is all voluntary... No, it is forced!

This is certainly not some evil thing. Even demons don’t exploit others like this!

"I...I said yes, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else!!"

Inesa thought for a moment and said with a serious expression.

She understood that today she had fallen into the hands of this shameless elf.

At least... my life can be saved and my innocence can be preserved, that's enough.

What will happen next...

Maybe I will be able to meet the true emperor in the next arena, elope with him, and live a happy life.

"I swear in the name of the ancient elf tree, I... I, Claire, will never reveal anything about you!"

Chenxing patted his chest and swore solemnly.

Such a determined expression also made Inessa stunned.

Dare to swear in the name of the ancient elven tree. This is the highest oath in the Elf Forest.

Could it be that this shameless guy was really called Claire, and did he really have no ill will towards me?

Inissa scratched her head. Although she had many doubts in her heart, she couldn't find any reason not to believe it since an elf had achieved this.

"Okay, actually, regarding the Void Beast...we discovered that the Void Beast actually feeds on the power of the Abyss, so we suspect that the Void Beast was most likely released deliberately by someone who was targeting the God of the Abyss!"

Inissa sighed and could only tell the story.

Regarding the void beast, the Holy Kingdom actually feels very strange as well.

It is clearly a creature that does not belong to this world, but its body structure has many similarities with ordinary insects.

For this reason, the Holy Empire even suspected that these void beasts might be a special race that was exiled from this world in ancient times.

The power of the God of the Abyss might also come from the monsters in the void.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that the void beast feeds on the power of the abyss!

Chenxing didn't say much about Inissa's various statements.

The other party did not lie on these issues.

In the original setting of the game, the void beast feeds on the power of the abyss.

Originally, Chenxing, like other players in the game forum, believed that the power of the God of the Abyss came from the Void Beasts, or from an opposing race to the Void Beasts in ancient times.

After all, there is not much description in the game about the origin of the void beasts and things from ancient times.

This also gives players a lot of room for imagination.

It was not until Chenxing witnessed with his own eyes where the power of the abyss came from that he finally understood what the Void Beast fed on.

That's not the power of the abyss, it's clearly eating humans... no, it's the souls of all living things!

Or rather...those souls were transformed into strange beasts in the void!

Chapter 19: "Despicable" Elves

Since all void beasts are transformed from souls, that means...

The void beasts were originally creatures of this land, but in ancient times long ago, these void beasts were sealed behind the gate of the starry sky.

It is of course unclear who did it, and the original plot of the game never showed that the void beast had ever existed.

so......

If the underground of Black Sand Castle really becomes a hatchery for void beasts, Morning Star must investigate it thoroughly.

This is one of the few opportunities to find information about the void beasts!

"Actually... there is still a question that I still can't figure out. It's just that the Holy Empire has never allowed scholars to conduct research."

Inissa scratched her head and said with some confusion.

Obviously, the Holy Empire wants to know more about the Void Beasts than anyone else, but there is one question about the Void Beasts that it is unwilling to let people get to know.

"question?"

"It's not a big problem. Scholars have recently discovered that... the power of the void beasts can be perfectly integrated with all races..."

Inissa said, and her words obviously made Chenxing's eyes widen.

This information is a "fairy tale" that has never been mentioned in the original game plot!

If the power of the Void Beast can be perfectly integrated with all living things, does it mean...

Maybe there are some lives in this world right now...that are disguised as void beasts!

Or in other words... a part of life accepted the power of the void beast and became part of the insects!

It has even survived from ancient times to the present day!

This possibility, without a doubt...is terrifying when you think about it.

The mastermind behind all this is most likely...a member of the void beasts!

Realizing this terrible situation, Chenxing, who had originally wanted to use the power of the void beast, couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

If I really follow my previous thoughts, I would probably fall into the trap set by the mastermind again.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Inissa noticed the change in Chenxing's expression and asked in surprise.

She always felt as if she had accidentally accomplished something extraordinary.

"It's okay. Let's talk about this room again. Apart from the signs that someone has been here frequently, are there any other problems?"

Morning Star waved his hand.
