Chapter 2838: Notes, Dragon Dung, and the Kindel Family

"Yes, you guessed it right."

The doctor once again confirmed Xia De's conjecture:

"Different hunter societies have different training methods and specialized means, and "Witcher's Notes" is the core classic that records the society's abilities, inheritance, history, potion and alchemy formulas, secret languages, etc.

These notes have experienced the changes of eras and have become Sage-level relics. But their value is even more powerful than Angel-level relics. The knowledge inside is even comparable to a large library—the disadvantage is that opening it will make you a Witcher, and fate will arrange for you to fight against demons for the rest of your life."

The doctor finally made a summary:

"The effect is great and the disadvantage is also great, but this can at least be regarded as a symbol of the Third Era, the last echo of that weird era... The hunter who sacrificed himself a hundred years ago in Gregory Village was probably the last member of some ancient society."

He lamented for that noble hunter, and Xia De tapped the table with his finger, and then put forward a new idea:

"Doctor, since we can't find thirteen 【Witcher Seals】, can that book be used as a substitute?"

"This..."

The doctor hesitated for a moment. He had been studying the ritual to acquire the 【Demon】 core spirit rune recently, so he could think clearly as soon as he thought about it:

"Theoretically, it should be no problem. The power of that book is not important, the key is that opening that book can allow me to acquire the true power of the 【Witcher】. If you do this in a normal state, that power will attack my soul directly, and even if I don't die, I will definitely lose control completely.

But doing this while the ritual is in progress, the power of the hunter and the demon might reach a state of balance. And if you do this, I don't need to fuse the relic into my own body. The power of the 【Witcher】 will always be with me, which will even reduce the risk of me swallowing more demons and losing control because of it in the future."

Xia De then breathed a sigh of relief:

"You see, this solves the problem."

But the doctor hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head:

"Although the theory is feasible, but... let's put it this way, I don't want to use the power of that book, I don't want to let myself desecrate that sacred profession."

"What is the difference between what you are doing now and a Witcher?"

Xia De asked, but the doctor still shook his head firmly:

"Yes, what I am doing now is no different from the evil spirits of the same kind who swallow others to become stronger. You can say I am very stubborn, but I really don't want to use this method."

Xia De could actually guess that the doctor would say this. Fortunately, he was very good at persuading others:

"I actually think that book would be very happy to be used by you. Listen to me, Doctor, what is my purpose in trying to persuade you to use that book?"

"Let me successfully acquire the 【Demon】 core spirit rune?"

"No, no, not the ultimate purpose, but the direct purpose."

The doctor thought for a while:

"Suppress the power of other demons in my body, so as to achieve a certain degree of balance?"

Xia De leaned forward slightly, making himself closer to the hesitant middle-aged man across the table:

"More accurately, I hope you use 【Witcher's Notes】 to suppress and limit the power of the Demon King. Think about it, if those Witchers who dared to sacrifice themselves heard that sacrificing one of them could prevent the riot of the Demon King's power, how happy would they be?

Therefore, if 【Witcher's Notes】 is really used on you, I think the hunters who held it in the past will also be very happy. Doctor, don't be so selfish for the sake of your own moral superiority—how can you stop this book from completing the great responsibility that other notes wouldn't even dare to think about?"

"Can it still be understood this way?"

The doctor opened his mouth. He admitted that this kind of statement was very difficult to refute:

"Maybe you also have the potential to become a demon... pei pei, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia De then laughed:

"Then when are you going to hold the ritual? I can bring 【Witcher's Notes】 over at any time, and you need to turn the theory into reality."

The doctor looked at the parchments on the table again, sighed slightly, and finally did not oppose it again:

"The changes don't need to be too many, but some extra materials are needed, preferably materials related to demons... I need to think of a way."

"The demon materials you mentioned, do you mean evil spirit demons or alien demons?"

"Alien demons will do, this is just a symbol."

Thus Xia De thought of the anecdotes he heard from the witches:

"Do you know the 【Mist Crow Brotherhood】 that worships demons? They were attracted to this place by the fire demon Di Zha Si Te. I don't know where they are specifically, but they definitely haven't left yet."

The doctor nodded:

"I of course know them. When I first wanted to find evil spirits, I even considered whether to join them. After all, evil spirits often pop up in the 【Mist Crow Brotherhood】, but later I felt that staying in To Be Si Ke was more comfortable. I'll go find them. Don't worry, it's just an ordinary transaction. If they carry a large amount of items with demon power, I think I can sense their vague location.

Today is Friday, please come again on Monday night, I will wait for you here."

He seemed to have completely accepted Xia De's proposal, and Xia De was also happy for this:

"That unknown hunter left things behind a hundred years ago, and it happened to be a hundred years later that you came here to help me. Judging this matter from the perspective of a diviner, it is simply fate arranging for you to accept the power of a Witcher. Of course, if you hadn't kindly helped me, you wouldn't have been able to encounter that book."

"Actually, it has always been you kindly helping me."

Although the city had been very lively for the past week, the doctor living in the forest had not encountered any danger or weird things. He studied his ritual alone in the house every day, or tried various ideas of his own, and the wind and rain of Weisi Ta City did not affect him at all.

But even so, the doctor provided Xia De with some new news:

"You know, after I swallowed the demon, I could always get some memory fragments of them. These fragments are not continuous, so they won't cause any impact on myself. In the memory of the fire demon Di Zha Si Te, I saw a pitch-black dragon beast. If I remember correctly, aren't you looking for that thing?"

"Yes, Doctor, what did you see? The birth process of that dragon beast?"

"Of course not. Before the demon came to this forest, that dragon beast already existed locally. But in the demon's memory, someone locally knew of the existence of that dragon beast. Detective, you should know the value of dragon dung, right?"

Xia De put down his teacup. He felt that it was better not to drink tea when discussing this kind of topic:

"I know, it's a very good fertilizer, and some people add it to potions. However, the "Potion Safety Management Act" and "Edible Dangerous Materials Ordinance" promulgated in 1077 stipulate that once dragon dung is added to potions sold on the market, it must be explained in detail on the label. Besides because dragon dung is very disgusting, it is also because it may cause dragon poison."

"But no matter what, the value of dragon dung is also recognized by everyone. In the demon's memory, a family in Creek Town made a fortune by selling dragon dung. They always seemed to know where to go to dig for dragon dung, and knew how to sell it.

Of course, the ancient evil spirit was not interested in this kind of thing, so it just knew, but did not delve into it."

Xia De was very happy about this:

"It seems that I have finally found the history related to that dragon beast. Doctor, which family is it exactly? It wouldn't be the Bennett family, right? Or is there no name in the memory, and I need to find it according to clues."

Because of the task of "mermaid" debt collection, Xia De had not forgotten the Bennett family to this day.

The doctor shook his head:

"It's not Bennett. That family is very special. They were outsiders who had great influence in the Creek Town era. They moved to here from the Delariang Kingdom. It is said that it was because of political reasons, and they seemed to have had an unclear relationship with Delariang all along.

The Kindel family, yes... Speaking of which, is this surname a bit familiar?"

Xia De also felt very familiar:

"If I remember correctly, the surname of Wang Hou Diana before she got married seemed to be Kindel, right?"

Wang Hou Diana herself was born in a Duke family. After all, no matter how they were fabricated in palace novels and fairy tales, it was impossible for the royal family to choose a girl of ordinary origin when choosing a queen in reality.

The Kindel family had a long history and could even be regarded as a traditional noble family that existed since the founding of Delariang. Although their reputation was not obvious, the Kindel family's titles had experienced many political turmoils and remained stable, which was enough to show that they were extraordinary.

Wang Hou Diana was the biological mother of Lei Qianya and A Jielina, so the two princesses also had Kindel blood. So after Xia De returned to the hotel that night, he specifically asked the ladies of Cavendish about this matter.

Of course, it also included the Duchess. But because she was now lying in bed sick, this conversation took place in her room on the ship.

"Kindel family?"

Duo Luo Qian, who was actually Lei Qianya, and the little princess both shook their heads:

"Never heard that mother's family had a branch in the Carcenrick United Kingdom. Our family's relatives are all in Delariang."

The Great Witch of Death, who was invited to participate in this conversation, frowned slightly. She had the deepest understanding of Weisi Ta City:

"When Charlotte was investigating, there were indeed relevant records of the local Kindel family. But that family had already disappeared in Weisi Ta City decades ago because there were no male heirs."

Miss Bell, who was standing behind her, added:

"The Kindel family was a famous rich family in the Creek Town era. Because they were outsiders, they didn't gain a foothold in industries like the Town Hall, Sheriff, Lumberjack Association, etc., but the construction of the first railway in Creek Town was invested by them. I noticed their surname was the same as the Duke family in the North before, but Kindel is not a particularly rare surname." ===== CHAPTER 2839 =====
