Chapter 710 “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon无情 (4k)
Professor Kazel noticed that Dark had been lost in thought and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Dark, have you thought of anything?”
Dark raised his head slightly and pondered, “We might need to check on Wit.”
“Wit Gold?” Professor Kazel’s eyebrows showed a hint of curiosity. “Why do you think of him?”
Dark thought for a moment and held up the book, saying, “After careful consideration, the knowledge recorded in this book should be known by only a few among the demons. And those who were qualified to know such knowledge should have died out almost completely, right?”
Professor Kazel’s brows furrowed slightly as he turned to look at Professor Shylph.
Professor Shylph then said, “If nothing else, only the Demon King remains.”
During the war’s end, humans were determined to exterminate the demons entirely. Those with higher status and power were the main targets, and they could not survive unless they fled overseas or far from the mainland.
Only the indestructible Demon King remained.
Professor Shylph’s heart stirred, and she suddenly asked, “Do you suspect that this book was written by the Demon King?”
Dark nodded and said, “I don’t know much about the demons, so this is just a guess. But this book doesn’t seem to be an ancient relic. If it was recently written, then its author could only be the Demon King, right?”
Professor Shylph looked at Professor Kazel and asked, “Kazel, can you determine the age of this book?”
Professor Kazel sighed helplessly and replied, “If it wasn’t made using the ‘Eating Book Demon’s’ skin as a medium, I could try.”
Professor Shylph said with slight disappointment, “Actually, I initially thought this book was created by the library, so I didn’t consider the author.”
“Wait.” Sister Carrian interrupted, “Isn’t the Demon King already gone?”
Professor Shylph said, “Carrian, I remember I’ve told you before…”
Sister Carrian immediately continued, “I know the Demon King isn’t dead, but shouldn’t its brain be…?”
Professor Shylph said, “That’s what I thought too, but it’s still just a guess. Just like we don’t actually know if this book was recently written, so it’s all just speculation.”
“In the absence of sufficient clues, we need to list out all possibilities and eliminate them through actual verification. And regarding the current state of the Demon King, it’s also just a guess…”
Professor Kazel interrupted her, saying, “Alright, regardless of whether this book was written by the Demon King. Dark is right; we should indeed check on Wit first. He is the student in the Knight Academy who has the closest relationship with the demons.”
Dark immediately said, “Exactly, that’s what I thought.”
Professor Metia crossed her arms and observed with a hint of a smile.
Regarding Wit Gold, everyone present knew that his blood contained part of the Demon King’s blood.
…
Once the discussion ended, Professor Lily exclaimed, “There’s no time to waste; let’s go to the Knight Academy and find Wit right away?”
The other professors exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Professor Shylph said, “Carrian stays here to watch over Angus Jeffrey, while the rest of us will go with me.”
She then waved her hand, summoning a gentle breeze that enveloped everyone.
Their figures gradually disappeared in the wind, flying swiftly towards the Knight Academy Tower.
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be here.”
Professor Shylph hovered outside the tower, gesturing for Professor Lily to take over.
Professor Lily chuckled and stepped forward sharply.
Then, everyone was carried through the wall and entered the third-floor corridor of the Knight Academy Tower.
After turning around, they stood in front of Wit Gold’s dorm room door.
It was Saturday, and even though it was late, there were still people passing through the corridor.
Professor Shylph glanced in the direction of the shadows and subconsciously raised her hand, seemingly ready to knock—just before she did, she stopped herself in time.
“I’ll take a look first,” Professor Lily laughed and rushed inside, leaving half of her body outside.
When Dark and the others thought she was fully entering, she suddenly turned back and came out again, looking disappointed.
Professor Shylph frowned and asked, “What happened?”
Professor Lily replied disappointedly, “Wit hasn’t slept yet.”
Professor Shylph said, “If it really is him, then the person who just erased the traces related to the ‘Flashbug’ wouldn’t have slept.”
Professor Lily shook her head, “He is dueling with Robert.”
“Dueling?” Professor Shylph was puzzled.
Professor Lily added, “A simulated duel.”
“Alright.” Professor Shylph sighed.
No wonder Lily felt disappointed.
If Wit had been playing a simulated duel game with Robert, then the person who erased the traces related to the ‘Flashbug’ couldn’t be him.
In other words, the “third party” had nothing to do with him.
Professor Kazel said, “My suggestion is to come back after he sleeps. Yes, I’ll handle it alone then.”
Professor Shylph nodded slightly and led everyone back to the infirmary.
Sister Carrian saw them return and asked curiously, “How did you get back so quickly?”
Professor Lily chattered about their encounter.
Sister Carrian realized, “I see.”
Professor Shylph shook her head and said, “In fact, given Wit’s abilities, the possibility of him being the ‘third party’ was already very low. Anyway, we’ll leave it to Kazel next.”
The opponent was well-concealed and clearly aware of their investigation, making it difficult to find any trace. So, they didn’t need to rush.
Sister Carrian asked, “What about Angus Jeffrey? How should we deal with his second consciousness?”
Professor Shylph looked at Professor Kazel and said, “You and Kazel are experts in this area. Personally, I hope to remove his second consciousness. After all, it’s caused by external influence and can confuse the primary consciousness. Additionally, if possible, we should repair his brain.”
Sister Carrian smiled, “Just what I wanted to hear.”
The brain was a rarely explored area for her, but with Professor Kazel’s presence, she felt more confident to study it.
Angus Jeffrey was truly an excellent subject!
…
“Beep beep.”
The clock had passed midnight, and it was curfew time.
With Professor Lily’s help, Dark passed through the wall directly into the 301 dorm room of the Tower of Noble Academy.
“Thank you,” he thanked Professor Lily and prepared to send her off.
But when he turned his head, he saw Professor Lily still sitting at the desk, casually pouring apple juice into a cup.
Dark had to chat with her for a quarter of an hour before finally sending her off.
After Professor Lily left, he sat motionless at the desk for a while to let his thoughts settle.
Five minutes later, he suddenly stood up, took out the Mana Dropper, and extracted today’s “Capital Sin.”
Thus, his task for the day was finally complete.
Dark sighed slightly and entered the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, he lifted his hand and rubbed his forehead, put on his pajamas, and got into bed.
Then, the small demon beast flew down, landing on the bed, and curiously asked about the progress.
The other Golems did not make a sound, but all perked up their ears to listen.
Dark was taken aback and smiled, casually recounting today’s discoveries.
…
After talking about everything he could, he found himself holding “Into the Abyss” in his hands and opened it again.
Whether this book was written in the past or now could be determined not only by examining the handwriting and materials but also by analyzing the content.
He flipped through it quickly and stopped at the latter part of the book.
Hidden in his bed, “Eevee” poked its head out, curious about what he was doing.
On the page, the words “Eating Book Demon” were clearly written.
Dark stared at these three words for a long time before suddenly retracting his gaze and whispering, “Come to think of it, are demons really that easy to cultivate? Especially the higher ones… even Angus Jeffrey could succeed?
Though the book details the cultivation methods, can following these methods really produce powerful demons?”
As he thought, he involuntarily started reading the cultivation method for the “Eating Book Demon.”
After a few minutes, he had roughly read through it, but his doubts deepened.
Because he couldn’t discern any “special aspects” from the cultivation method.
“Perhaps, I should try cultivating one of these…”
“The professors gave me this book to handle myself.”
“I need to think carefully.”
His eyes shifted to the “Emerald Holy Sword” on the shelf.
“Come to think of it, I only need one more secondary material to forge the ‘Emerald Holy Sword.'”
“If my goal is the ‘Bilijion,’ I need high-grade materials related to antelopes or deer.”
“I can cultivate them myself…”
“But using demon materials to forge a holy sword… I’ll think about it some more.”
…
At one o’clock…
Dark closed the book, had “Eevee” place it far away, and then closed his eyes to sleep.
The next morning, after washing up, he immediately went to Professor Shylph’s office and indeed saw Professors Kazel and Metia.
As for little Lily… perhaps still dreaming!
Dark greeted the professors and asked Professor Kazel, “Professor, have you found anything?”
Professor Kazel sipped his tea and said, “At one in the morning, I checked Wit’s dorm room but found nothing. Of course, that doesn’t mean he isn’t suspicious.”
Professor Kazel was not omnipotent; he couldn’t detect when Robert was possessed by a vampire either.
Dark shook his head and said, “But at least we’ve narrowed down the possibilities.”
Professor Kazel said, “Anyway, we’ll continue the investigation, so you don’t need to get involved too much.”
Dark nodded and said, “Understood.”
At the end of the term, academics were the priority.
Even if Wit was indeed the “third party,” it was just a minor issue.
…
Dark didn’t stay in the office any longer. He returned to his dormitory and continued reading “Into the Abyss.”
This time, he focused on various demon cultivation methods.
Time flew by, and soon the morning passed.
Dark inserted a bookmark and placed “Into the Abyss” on top of another book, slightly frowning.
This book was ordinary in his hands.
Not only did he feel no signs of a “second consciousness,” but he couldn’t sense any mana fluctuations either.
If it hadn’t shown the characteristic of disappearing, Dark would have thought it was a “pirated book.”
…
After lunch, Dark went to Traveler’s Street alone.
With Christmas approaching, Traveler’s Street was decorated with lights and festive decorations. The streets were busier than last week, filled with laughter and joy.
Dark wandered between shops, spending considerable time buying the necessary materials.
Then, at three in the afternoon, he returned to his dormitory and began preparing to… cultivate the “Brain Fluid Demon!”
Besides wanting to familiarize himself with the “Brain Fluid Demon’s” structure to modify the “Mana Dropper,” he mainly wanted to verify if the cultivation method described in the book could actually produce a demon!
This point was quite important.
Many people, upon obtaining a book, instinctively believed that what was written in the book was the truth.
Little did they know, books were also written by people.
…
However, Dark only completed the initial preparations and then left his dormitory again, heading to Traveler’s Street.
Public Dueling Society Branch Store.
When Dark entered the store, he noticed two new “clerks.”
These two new “clerks” were much more disciplined compared to Lexy and Grace.
With Nene and Jossie handling the接待，达克没有过多关注。
傍晚时分，他带着女仆们到餐厅共进晚餐，既是欢迎新人，也是送别旧人。
晚餐过后，达克来到驯龙台，目送蕾西和格瑞丝登上龙背，挥手告别。
“吼——”
伴随着悠扬的龙吼声，公爵府的双足飞龙载着两人乘风而起。
风声掩盖了女仆们的说话声，但隐约能听到“少爷……再见”。
“总会再见的。”
达克嘴角露出微笑，挥手时更加用力。
直到龙影消失，他才带着奈奈和乔茜转身离开。
之后，他召唤出“死神棺”，便不再理会那两位“新人”。
……
实验继续。
晚上十一点半。
达克放下手中的工具，看着实验桌上玻璃罐子里装满的液体，以及漂浮其中的一枚枣核大小的透明胚胎。
“脑液魔”虽然稀少罕见，但培育所需的材料却意外地常见。
而且培育过程也不复杂。
达克从头到尾只用了半天时间就完成了实验。
“三天时间，从胚胎到幼体，还需要三天时间。”
“三天后，答案就会揭晓。”
