Chapter 1862: Demon Descendant Herbalist

As long as one discerns the deepest, most craved goal in the heart of a sentient being, and then creates some possibility for the realization of that goal, the sentient being will usually fill in the blanks themselves to believe success is inevitable, and then willingly fall for the trap.

All fraudulent incidents are often related to the greed of the victim, whether it is greed for money, greed for affection, or perhaps some kind of ideal.

"Right now, the Evereska side does not yet know your identity; only I know, but I cannot point it out directly. You need to find a flaw that is just right, otherwise, you can just go die yourself!"

Xia Duo's words explained a small loophole in his previous story regarding the Demon Descendant identity, while also reminding the other party—you, Gulite, are not an indispensable part of the plan, but if you cooperate, you could become a hero among the Demon Descendants, rather than an anonymous corpse dying in some unknown corner.

Gulite is undoubtedly afraid of death, but what he fears even more is dying in obscurity. As a special individual among the Demon Descendants, born with a halo of destiny, he thought he could achieve great things; being captured had already dealt him a heavy blow.

If he were to die completely without value, that would be even more unbearable than death itself.

Next, Xia Duo just watched Gulite silently, waiting for the other party's answer. With things having reached this point, it was not up to Gulite to not believe or not form fantasies.

As for that only reality, Gulite is likely unwilling to even think about it, because in that situation, with a hostile existence like Xia Duo who understands Demon Descendants extremely well, the situation of the Demon Descendants would become even more difficult.

I do not know how much time passed, but Xia Duo was getting a bit impatient waiting when Gulite suddenly spoke, "I thought of a way. As long as you can make my body bleed, I will find a way to expose myself."

Xia Duo shook his head, "Change to another one!"

The Gulite before him might cooperate, but this is only a Consciousness Copy; Xia Duo cannot let it return to the main body, thereby bringing uncertain variables upon himself.

"Then you can use Positive Energy to impact my blood. As long as the energy level is sufficient to crush my Magic Energy structure, it will cause the Demon Aura to be exposed."

This is possible, but using Positive Energy to impact the blood of a strictly guarded prisoner for no reason is an act sufficient to invite suspicion.

Xia Duo shook his head again, "Do not play little tricks; you know what I want!"

Gulite was speechless for a moment. As a Demon Descendant who has already mastered his bloodline, unless he is willing, how could there be any flaw that can be seen through at a glance?

Even if there were, it would likely be something that could be linked to Demon Descendants.

"How would I know what you actually want? I will tell you my Magic Energy attributes; perhaps you can find a pawn unrelated to you to disintegrate my Magic Energy, and that way I will also be exposed."

"Change to another one again!" Xia Duo still shook his head.

If Gulite were only under conventional guard, then this method might work, but Gulite is being personally guarded by the Eye of Fear. Without a sufficient reason, even Xia Duo himself would find it difficult to get close to Gulite's main body.

Let alone disintegrating the Magic Energy.

However, this did give Xia Duo a hint: even if he cannot disintegrate the Magic Energy from the root of its creation, he can think of a way to trigger Banishment. Perhaps he does not even need to remind the Eye of Fear; it might do so itself.

Seeing that Gulite could no longer come up with any better methods, Xia Duo asked him for the list of his subordinates developed in Evereska.

These subordinates are not Demon Descendants; they are mostly Advanced cannon fodder for the upcoming assassination operation, responsible for finding more low-to-mid-level cannon fodder.

After obtaining the list, Xia Duo immediately crushed this Consciousness Copy of Gulite, and after parsing the consciousness fragments, he opened the copy again.

This time, he still followed the process of the previous time, but made some optimizations to make his persona as a "high-level member of the Elf Demon Descendant Independent Faction" more stable.

He still used that New World plan that completely integrates with the Elves to coax Gulite, but this time, Xia Duo perfected the persona quite a bit. Correspondingly, Gulite gave more trust on his side.

From this, Xia Duo also obtained a new clue that he had not been able to obtain many times before, even including parsing Subconscious Information—

There is actually a Radical Faction Demon Descendant Elf hiding within the city of Evereska!

The most critical thing is that this Demon Descendant Elf has also had contact with Gulite. As long as this Radical Faction Demon Descendant Elf is caught, it will be very easy to implicate Gulite.

Even if they cannot be caught, as long as a way is found to expose the other party's Demon Descendant identity, it will also serve as a reminder to the Evereska side that there are Demon Descendant Elves involved.

At that time, re-examining Gulite will surely lead to the discovery of his Demon Descendant identity.

……

"There is actually this clue!"

With Perception hating the Consciousness Cage, Xia Duo's expression was full of disbelief. Logically, such a key clue should carry significant weight in the subconscious and should be easy to parse out. He did not expect that, in the end, it would still require Gulite to say it himself.

For a moment, Xia Duo really did not know whether to say that Gulite's anti-mental interrogation training was too effective, or that his own luck was too poor, as he had crushed the other party's consciousness so many times without being able to fish out this piece of Subconscious Information.

Next, Xia Duo did not continue to piece together Gulite's consciousness. This is not something that can be completed in a short time, especially after the experience just now; he no longer held hope for continuing to piece together Gulite's complete consciousness.

He would piece it together slowly when he has time in the future, treating it as a pastime or a way to change his mood.

As for now, Xia Duo put away the Consciousness Cage and turned to enter the Secret Ritual Chamber below the bedroom. He wanted to see if the Radical Faction Demon Descendant Elf that Gulite mentioned was still in Evereska.

……

Nan Cheng Qu, Evereska, Jinqiangwei Community.

Among the many communities in the city of Evereska, the land area here is considered relatively spacious, but the community itself is somewhat old, broken, and small.

And in the Main Plane's Evereska, the place where the Jinqiangwei Community is located is actually a Magic Academy. Of course, in this Projection Plane, Evereska does not even have a single Magic Academy!

Xia Duo guessed that perhaps they would have to wait until Evereska is independent before they can carry out the corresponding old community renovation plan!

The Radical Faction Demon Descendant Elf mentioned by Gulite currently resides in the Jinqiangwei Community and is also a well-known herbalist in the community.

Which is actually the community Doctor.

Unlike professions like pharmacists that lean more towards Magic, herbalists do not require the mastery of Magic, but rather focus more on being familiar with plant characteristics; therefore, herbalists are often also Druids.

Under normal circumstances, Druids have a lower status in Elf society, but this is not necessarily the case at the bottom, because bottom-level Elves are often not even as good as Druids.

In fact, many bottom-level Elves regard becoming a Druid as the only way out for their future, and if they can simultaneously become a herbalist, that is undoubtedly achieving a class Yaoyue.

Because a herbalist is actually already considered a high-end profession in Elf society; not all illnesses can be removed with Magic.

Even for a Mage with a revered status, once they fall ill, they will often first seek the help of a herbalist.

But could such a herbalist, who is highly respected and also highly watched in the Jinqiangwei Community, actually be a long-lurking Radical Faction Demon Descendant Elf?

Carrying such doubts, Xia Duo projected his Perception onto the Jinqiangwei Community and quickly locked onto the other party's herbalist hut.
