Chapter 807


Chapter 807 – Chapter 977: Black And White [ First Update ]

After absorbing the witcher, Aisha returned to her original state. The light in her eyes gradually disappeared. She sat quietly like before. There was no expression and no movement.

Dudian stared at her for a long time. Time seemed to have stopped.

Seeing that she still didn’t respond, a dark golden light flashed in Dudian’s eyes. He activated the magic marks’ability to see through her body. He carefully observed her body and soon found that there was black mucus on the gap of her spine, it was the melted blood baron.

The blood baron was bigger than Aisha when it was weaponized. But now after it melted, it shrank greatly. The condensed black mucus was only attached to the spine and dyed the spine black, moreover, the Horn of the bone became sharper. It looked like a ferocious black centipede or a dragon that was emitting demonic energy.

Dudian frowned and stared at it for a while. The black mucus seemed to have calmed down and there was no change. He looked at Aisha and finally retracted his eyes, at least there wouldn’t be any problems for the time being. But he couldn’t figure out why the witcher could merge into the body but not become a demon. It was probably because of Aisha’s corpse.

The incident was like an interlude that passed quickly.

Gwyneth and the royal professors returned to the palace in the middle of the night. Dudian was washing his feet. He called Neuss to let them in and continued to soak his feet.

“Young master, I’m back.”Gwyneth bowed as she looked at Dudian who was sitting in front of the desk in the back hall of the palace.

There were seven or eight professors behind her. Most of them were over fifty years old. Some of them had white hair. One of them looked the youngest but was already middle-aged.

“It’s been hard on you. Have you had dinner?”Dudian looked at Gwyneth.

Gwyneth bowed: “Thank you for your concern young master. I’ll go back to eat after I’m done.”

“There is no need to go back. I have asked Neuss to prepare it for you.”Dudian said.

Neuss understood and looked at the maid who left.

Gwyneth looked at dudian: “Thank you young master.”

“How was the harvest this time?”Dudian asked.

Gwyneth took out a small notebook: “Young Master, I have written Olava’s answers in this notebook.”

Neuss went forward and handed the notebook to Dudian.

Dudian opened the notebook and saw Gwyneth’s arm. He looked at each of the answers which corresponded to his question. He frowned and finally closed the notebook, “This old man didn’t live in vain. He isn’t afraid of Death!”

Gwyneth saw his expression and knew that there was a problem. She bowed her head: “Master, do you think his answer is to fool us?”

“This old man was aware of our purpose from the second question. He should have known about me and Aisha’s situation. So he answered all of your questions and some of his answers may deliberately mislead us.”Dudian’s eyes were indifferent, she threw the notebook into the trash bin.

Gwyneth looked at the notebook as it fell into the trash bin. She bit her lips: “Master, Please Punish Me for my incompetence!”

“You didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t blame yourself.”Dudian’s expression was calm, “I didn’t expect him to answer my questions so there are a few that are specifically aimed at him. In short, I have got the answer I want. You did a good job. Stay for dinner later.”

Gwyneth was startled as she didn’t understand what Dudian was saying. There was no trace of happiness on Dudian’s face but his words seemed to praise her. She couldn’t understand his thoughts, she thought for a moment and said: “I’ll go back and eat. It’s late so I Won’t disturb young master’s Rest.”

“It’s okay. I slept late. Neuss has prepared everything for you.”Dudian waved his hand and didn’t give her the opportunity to discuss, he asked the professors behind her: “Old Gentlemen, have you brought back all the books related to undead research? Have you missed anything?”

The eight professors saw that Dudian had finally mentioned them. One of them took a step forward, he respectfully replied: “Sir, we have selected all the books related to undead research in the underground library of Orava. We have checked twice to make sure that we haven’t missed anything. As far as I know, all the precious materials of the Institute of magic are stored in Orava’s library. He often reads them.”

Dudian nodded: “Were there any traces of passive movement in the library?”

The old professor was smart enough to understand Dudian’s meaning, he smiled: “Lord Gwyneth said that there would be a surprise attack so we went very suddenly. I don’t think they would be able to move some materials in time. Moreover they don’t know the purpose of our trip. I see that there is no empty space on the bookshelves. All the books in the empty bookshelves can be found on the next desk.”

Dudian nodded: “What was the old man’s attitude when you asked for the book?”

Although the old professor knew that Dudian was referring to Olava but he felt a bit embarrassed. After all he was the same age as Olava, he said: “Although Olava was surprised but he didn’t stop us. His students were angry but he stopped them.”

Dudian understood: “Everyone has worked hard. It’s late. Go back and rest early.”

“Yes, sir.”The old professor and the other seven respectfully said. They were disappointed to see that Dudian didn’t ask them to stay for dinner.

After the professors left the palace, Gwyneth asked the guards to carry the selected books to the palace. The books were stacked high. Dudian estimated that there were about two or three hundred books.

He would rather die than read so many books when he was young. But now he was excited to see these books. It was not because he was eager to learn, the more books there were, the more research the institute had done in this area. It meant that there was a greater hope to find a way to solve this problem!

Moreover, with his current memory and vision, his reading speed was dozens of times faster than ordinary people. Although there were many books but he believed that he would be able to finish them in a short time.

Late at night, after Gwyneth and Neuss left the room, Dudian asked the maid to light the fireplace. He prepared a brazier and put it under the desk to dry. This request made the maid surprised, it was almost the hot and dark season. Dudian had used the brazier and fireplace which was only used during the black snow season. If others knew about it, they would think that he was crazy.

Dudian was very sensitive to the temperature. The temperature dropped at night. He felt the cold air in his right arm. It seemed to flow into his body so he had to use the fireplace and brazier, at the same time he prepared his own white wine. He was not addicted to alcohol but it could warm him up. Moreover white wine was better than wine in driving out the cold.

He picked up the night light and piled seven or eight books on the desk. He picked them up and read them one by one.

Later in the night he was sleepy. He asked the maid to prepare hot water. He washed his face and continued to read.

Time flew by.

Dudian was reading in the palace. However, the royal city was still in shock because of the arrest of urita. The nobles in other cities were also eager to make a move. Many wealthy businessmen were looking forward to it. They were ready to take advantage of the situation to make a big profit.

Saul was working with Neuss according to Dudian’s instructions. He was helping Dudian to clean up his reputation and spread his prestige.

Neuss was more experienced than Saul in these two aspects. However he wasn’t familiar with the positions and forces in the inner wall so he had to cooperate with Saul. Both of them discussed and spread the news of Dudian’s succession to all the cities.

“It’s unbelievable that her highness is a traitor who colluded with the invaders!”

“What’s there to be surprised about? What can’t be done in this day and age?”

“How come I heard that Dudian is the one who took over the palace? There are rumors that he is the intruder who defeated the princess. Now he wants to arrest her highness?”

“Where did you hear such unreliable news?”? The matter of the princess colluding with the intruder had long been fixed. Didn’t you read the previous newspapers? Master Morksey has come out to condemn and scold her. He is so old. How could he lie?”

“That’s true. Master Moxie has always been upright. I really didn’t expect her highness to be so ambitious. Indeed, ugly people have ugly hearts…”

“Yeah, I heard that her face was replaced by the Monster Research Institute when she was twelve years old. Haven’t you seen her original appearance? She’s so ugly that she can’t Eat!”

“Tut Tut, it’s good to have power and influence!”

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Dudian had read more than two hundred books. His memory had been strong since he was young. Now he had evolved into an expert of the inner wilderness level. His memory had improved a lot, although it wasn’t as exaggerated as having a photographic memory, but he could write it down after reading it a few times.

“My Lord, Tomorrow is your coronation. Do you have anything to prepare?”Saul asked respectfully.

Dudian looked up from the book: “How are the restless nobles?”

“My lord, eight counts have come to the imperial city to participate in your coronation. There are three left. One of them has no news. The other two are going to join forces with the Institute of Magic to attack you. But the Institute of Magic hasn’t replied to them so they are still waiting.”
