"He looks just like an ordinary person."
The green-haired young shop owner looked at the young man in front of him and silently guessed, "He should be quite rich. Is he planning to do some business? Is he trying to get in touch with the higher-ups?"
"But money is money. I'll make as much money as I can."
The young shop owner walked into the back of the bookstore. When he came out again, he was holding a stack of gray paper in his hand. Then, he looked as if he was exchanging something important and handed it to Ryuga.
"The portraits of the ministers, the emperor, and several important ministers under his command are all here. Please check them."
These portraits were indeed a great secret for ordinary people. It was very difficult to get their hands on them. However, as long as one had a certain amount of connections and money, it was not difficult to get these things. They were also circulated in the black market, so the organization behind him would not be exposed.
"No problem. Thank you, boss."
Ryuga checked the books and portraits. After putting a bulging money bag on the table, she turned around and left the bookstore.
"Oh ho ho! What a great harvest! "
The young shop owner looked at the large number of gold coins in the money bag and smiled happily.
Although the organization behind him was backed by a powerful force, he still had to figure out his own daily operating expenses. Most of the time, he needed to spend a lot of money. So no matter where he came from, money was something that he could earn.
… …
Ryuga's home in this world was located near the south gate of the Imperial City near the city center. It was not too close nor too far from the palace. The building itself was a two-story villa with a wide basement. It did not occupy a large area and was quite clean.
After buying all the books and portraits, Ryuga returned home and went into the basement.
The basement was originally used by the previous owner for storage. After Ryuga bought it, she carried out a preliminary modification and turned it into a simple magic workshop.
The Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid set up a simple enchantment around the basement. It could detect the movement of people. The door used a magic lock. If the magic wave did not match the lock, no one could enter.
On the table, there was a sapphire ring.
Ryuga put down the books and the portraits of other people, and took out the portrait of Minister Earnest.
The Imperial Minister, named Ernest, was the head of the Imperial Civil Officials. He looked like an old man who was at least 60 years old and had a long white beard. He looked kind and benevolent, but he had committed so many crimes that Ryuga could hear a pile of them just by running two laps around the Imperial Capital.
It was said that this man was the main culprit who controlled the young emperor to carry out endless tyrannical politics. Under his command, he gathered a bunch of extremely vile bureaucrats who used their power and authority to abuse their power.
Kidnapping women and plundering the wealth of the people were considered light crimes. Forcing women into prostitution, selling drugs, colluding with officials and merchants, and creating grievances were all crimes that they would not do.
Among them, there were even some who had extremely vile personalities. They viewed other people's lives as nothing more than grass. Torturing and humiliating them at will was already a common occurrence. Even perverts who took killing, interrogating, and so on as their hobby could be seen everywhere.
Of course, what these people did, whether it was oppressing the civilians or carrying out tyranny, did not cause any ripples in Ryuga's heart.
What he cared about now was how to use his own methods to overthrow this Empire.
"In the end, if I want to overthrow this Empire, I either have to shake its foundation from the inside or destroy it from the outside."
Ryuga picked up the sapphire ring on the table and released the magic that was originally stored in it. He was ready to fill it with new magic.
"But if I want to build an army from scratch by myself, it will be extremely difficult, and it will be a waste of time. If that's the case, I might as well use the [Revolutionary Army]."
Originally, this millennium-old Empire was already on the verge of falling apart. Under the tyrannical rule in the country, it was inevitable that there would be resistance. However, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. There were several rebellions in the Empire before, and they were all forcefully suppressed.
However, according to the general knowledge given by the [Anonymous Spiritual Base], there was an army called the [Revolutionary Army] in the south of the empire. It had already formed a considerable scale, and it had maintained its vitality even after the empire's numerous expeditions. It was getting stronger and stronger.
"Under the situation where the [Revolutionary Army] is resisting from the outside, I still have to compete with them from the outside. It's just a thankless task."
Ryuga engraved the rune that represented the 'curse' on the ring and tried to fill it into the ring. "So, for a lone wolf like me, the best way is to destroy the Empire from the inside."
In the end, he could cooperate with the outside to destroy the Empire.
However, it was not that easy to shake the foundation of the Empire from the inside, so Ryuga had to find a way to enter the eyes of the Empire's higher-ups.
"The method doesn't matter. As long as I can enter the Empire's political power, it's fine even if I fail. Anyway, I have the [Transformation] ability, so I can try a few more times."
Ryuga put down the sapphire ring on his hand. Because it was the first time to make it, the rune was not perfectly filled in. It seemed that he still needed to practice for a while.
At the beginning, Luvia was able to fill in the sun-blocking technique in a few minutes, not only because this sapphire ring was her usual costume, but also because her family's magic was the gem magic, which was very compatible with the gem.
But with Ryuga's current achievement, even if it was just making this kind of simple costume, it would take a few days.
However, it just happened that he could use this time to learn about the knowledge of Teigu illustration handbook, dangerous species illustration handbook and so on. He could collect information in the imperial capital. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
After another three days, Ryuga finally made the first simple magic costume that was filled with the curse successfully.
That night.
When the moon was above the willow branches, Ryuga left home. He completely covered his breath with the skill of [Breath Blocking] and came to the foot of the hill where the palace was located.
"Well, let's start the first try."
Ryuga looked at the huge wall that was at least twenty meters high in front of him. He silently put on the cloak and injected the magic power into the magic engraving on his shoulder. His figure immediately faded and became transparent, and then he directly disappeared from the open space.
After using the invisible magic, Ryuga came to the front of the wall, he jumped up very lightly. He only borrowed the force to climb over the wall and sneaked into the palace.
After sneaking in, Liu Xia quickly found two guards patrolling the corridor of the palace. They were wearing heavy armor and holding shields. Just by looking at them, they gave off an impression of valiance.
Ryuga walked behind the two and applied the hypnotic rune to them together.
"Which palace does Minister Earnest live in?"
