Volume 1 Chapter 591
by post_apiChapter 591: Lolth’s Research Method
In Hillenbrand Town, inside the torture tower.
Even though there were many messy things happening, Lolth finally decided…
Forget it!
Anyway, she was just there to teach the Lady of Light!
In a way, she hadn’t really come back to the town.
In a few hours, she had to return to the Holy Capital and continue being the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
So, Lolth showed her usual lazy nature.
What needed to be done today could wait until tomorrow!
If it could be delayed for a day, then it would be, which is the nature of slacking off.
Even if many mercenaries came to Hillenbrand Town…
It was better to just pretend to be unaware!
After all, they were doing well even without her around.
So was there really a need for her to do anything extra?
"I’ll just pretend I never came here!"
Lolth thought this optimistically and decided to set aside the recent changes in Hillenbrand Town for now.
However, some things could not be ignored.
For example, the one in front of her…
The real director of the Heretic Tribunal.
"Tina, can you let him go a little?"
"I think I need to talk to him…"
Lolth sighed and said.
Anyway, this guy in front of her was the very person she was pretending to be.
Getting some information from him would help with her role.
It would be best to find out who else in The Church of Light had seen him besides the Pope!
After all, even his own followers did not know his true face.
Lolth thought this director of the Heretic Tribunal was very strange!
Tina heard Lolth’s command and naturally had no objections.
"Alright, Mistress Lolth."
She gently nodded and loosened some of the vines.
This revealed the upper body of the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
However, Tina still had some doubts.
"Mistress Lolth, but… this guy is still in a sleeping period… I just used the potion that the landlady gave me on him this morning…"
"He might not wake up for a while!"
Tina reminded her seriously, then asked.
"Shall I go ask the landlady for a solution?"
Lolth also shook her head slightly.
"It’s okay, Tina… I should be able to wake her up."
"For things like this, there’s no need to bother her."
Lolth really didn’t want to trouble the landlady with such matters.
After all, it wasn’t something she couldn’t handle.
And as she got to know Kululu better, along with the hints from Xiletor.
Lolth understood that the landlady’s status was probably higher than that of ordinary gods.
So it felt wrong to bother her with such a small issue…
It just seemed a bit embarrassing!
Moreover, she was also Kanor’s official guardian.
Since she started teaching Kanor, the little girl had been growing stronger and had changed a lot.
But Lolth also felt a bit uneasy.
She herself was not sure if this was a good thing for Kanor.
So in the short term, she didn’t want to contact Mrs. Fuen unless necessary.
So, Lolth said this and tried to get closer to the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
Then, she released her magic and examined the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
To unravel the landlady’s method that put this Director of the Heretic Tribunal into a deep sleep, Lolth first needed to understand what kind of method the landlady used.
After all, even if the effect was the same, they were different.
Even among the same kind of Star Spirit Magic, there were many spells with similar effects but different principles.
It might even be based on completely opposite principles.
For example, exhausting someone’s mind and draining a large amount of their mental energy could lead to sleep.
But on the other hand, if someone’s mental energy was overly full and they fell into a state of comfort and laziness, it could also induce sleep.
Lolth was not skilled in mental spells, and Star Spirit magic was the least compatible with her.
Even though Magic Potion was her area of expertise, she still needed to be careful and double-check when diagnosing.
After all…
If it were another abnormal condition, Lolth could usually tell at a glance what was happening with the person.
But now, when Lolth took a look, she could only first rule out that it was not Abyss Daydream Fruit.
It could not completely rule out the Abyss Daydream Fruit…
After all, no one knew if that thing was a Magic Potion ingredient. With the landlady’s amazing skills, she might have removed various characteristics of the Abyss Daydream Fruit when she brought it here… for example, the part that made people feel lustful.
Of course, the chances were not very high.
If this Magic Potion was not of high rank, that would be fine.
However, the landlady Fuen was clearly not an ordinary character.
Being involved with matters between deities, she was at least an experienced demi-god…
Moreover, with just one bottle of Magic Potion, she made a Director of the Heretic Tribunal, who was obviously a powerful demi-god, fall into a deep sleep…
A Magic Potion made by such a person, even if not from Star Spirit or the realm of the mind, would still be significant.
Lolth might need to study it carefully to understand.
So, Lolth searched very carefully, afraid to touch any of the landlady’s restrictions.
After all, the landlady prepared a Magic Potion for a demi-god…
It should not be that simple.
However, when Lolth looked into the other person’s soul…
She felt something strange.
It was not that the landlady’s methods were particularly clever.
But because…
There was no oddity in his soul at all.
No, it was not quite right to say there was no oddity…
After all, his soul clearly showed signs of having been exhausted not long ago.
This made sense, because from what Tina had just said, Lolth learned about the director of the Heretic Tribunal.
Just now, the power of the Holy Light had gone wild, and an angel had appeared.
Even if this method was used normally, exhaustion was unavoidable.
Moreover, he was also in a state of rage and backlash.
It was reasonable for the soul to show some damage.
But…
Even so, Lolth did not notice any other abnormalities in the state of the soul.
It was as if nothing had been tampered with at all.
It was just like sleeping very normally.
Lolth was a bit surprised.
"This is strange…"
She worried that her skills in mental magic were too low to notice what had been done.
Lolth even checked it more than ten times.
In the end, she finally confirmed one thing…
That is, the Director of the Heretic Tribunal…
Was indeed sound asleep!
At least, his soul was not unusual.
Lolth felt a bit surprised and then touched her head.
"It can’t be real sleeping pills, can it?"
But can real sleeping pills really take down a demi-god?
Especially since this isn’t even a pill, it’s a spray…
After that…
Lolth also decided not to guess anymore.
"Tina, do you still have those Magic Potions Mrs. Fuen gave you?"
As Lolth said this, Tina nodded.
"Of course, I still have them… right here, Mistress Lolth."
Tina took out a delicate glass bottle from her arms and handed it to Lolth.
Inside the clear bottle, a light golden-yellow liquid could be seen.
It was thick like honey.
The bottle had a spray nozzle, with a hint of magical mist.
After Lolth received the bottle of Magic Potion…
She was instantly stunned.
Because what was inside was actually…
Life magic.
Lolth was ready, feeling something strange, powerful, and magic that rivaled divine power.
But unexpectedly, what was inside only contained the most ordinary life magic.
Every magical beast and plant-like creature on the mainland plane would have some magic power.
All combat-class Superoperators would also become rich in magic power after training.
At the same time, they are also frequent users of nature magic and mystical techniques.
In fact, even every non-supernatural being contains a little life magic.
This magic is not unfamiliar to Lolth.
After all, Lolth’s hobby is cooking, which also includes growing the raw materials for her dishes.
In her past experiences of farming, raising animals, and breeding, she has dealt with life magic many times.
Even the Succubus clan itself has a great affinity for life magic!
Hmm… Who says the Succubus clan is not also very good at "creating life"?
Looking across the entire continent, only the Succubus clan can produce offspring without any help and can have babies across different races.
This is closely related to the Succubus clan’s special talent for life magic.
This is why Lolth is very skilled in life magic.
Because of this, she is very curious…
Why can life magic make a demi-god, a Director of the Heretic Tribunal with the Power of Judgment, "fall into a deep sleep"?
Life magic may not have any chaotic properties, but the Power of Judgment can somewhat restrain it.
The most important thing is…
Although this bottle of Magic Potion is not low in level, it is actually not a top-tier Magic Potion.
In terms of the magic power contained, it is only at the level of a **-level Magic Potion!
A **-level Magic Potion…
Could it really defeat a demi-god?
The answer, of course, is no!
A **-level Magic Potion could even withstand a legendary level…
With the Holy Domain present and the rules supporting a Holy Domain expert, they would hardly be affected.
Not to mention a demi-god?!
However, this Magic Potion worked!
After seeing the Magic Potion, Lolth felt inspired and checked the condition of the Director of the Heretic Tribunal again.
Discovering this strange "sleeping" state does not come from the soul.
Instead, his body is covered by life magic, forcing him into a state similar to "sleep."
This uses life magic to change his "life state"!
Through a large amount of low-energy life magic, it lures his life magic into a similar feeling of sleep.
In the end, it really made him fall asleep!
Even his own Holy Light power was affected by this low-energy life magic, becoming slow.
To Lolth, this was simply unbelievable!
After all, Lolth knows a bit about life magic…
Also, Lolth is very creative with spells.
But Lolth had never even thought of this way to use it, nor had she ever heard of it.
The main problem is not that Lolth overlooked some feature of life magic…
But that this theory is impossible to achieve!
It’s like trying to build a house with streaky pork…
It’s not that everyone couldn’t think of why streaky pork cannot build a house.
But rather, streaky pork simply cannot be used to build a house!
Even if a lot of low-active life magic could lower the activity of life magic…
How could it possibly keep people in a comatose state everywhere?
Lolth could also remember a common nature-related mystical technique—Weakening Spell, which uses low-active life magic to interfere with someone’s life force.
But the Weakening Spell cannot affect a person’s soul or magic in the opposite way…
Moreover, within the Director of the Heretic Tribunal, there is still an extremely high level of divine power!
How can this be possible?
Lolth looked at the Magic Potion in her hands and then at the Director of the Heretic Tribunal.
She felt an immense curiosity about this.
"Sure enough, the landlady is not an ordinary character…"
Lolth said with genuine admiration.
Even among gods, it is rare for Lolth to encounter something she cannot understand.
And today, she saw a bottle of Magic Potion that she completely could not understand or see through!
This made Lolth feel a bit excited after a long time.
At the same time, she was even more determined to try to unlock the magic of the landlady’s potion!
After only getting initial results from her investigation, Lolth decided to conduct a deeper experiment.
That was…
To try it herself!
After all, trying it out herself and gaining firsthand experience would surely be stronger than anything else!
While thinking this, Lolth aimed the spray of the potion at herself.
"Okay… I’m ready…"
She took a deep breath.
"I really want to see how this Magic Potion took down the demi-god!"
Lolth thought this as she pressed the spray button.
Tina beside her showed a look of surprise and worry, clearly realizing what her master Lolth was about to do, and instinctively wanted to stop her.
However, Lolth’s actions were too quick.
From the moment she made up her mind to tilting the bottle, Lolth took only a few seconds—after all, she had always been a very carefree person.
Whenever she thought of something, as long as the consequences didn’t seem too serious, Lolth would naturally just do it.
"Puff—"
The Magic Potion spray was released from the nozzle, transformed into droplets filled with life magic by the magical energy.
Lolth carefully felt the life magic enter her body…
She finally understood the uniqueness of this life magic.
"Wait a minute, the reaction of this life magic… so strange… why isn’t their reaction chaotic?"
"Is this really uncontrolled magic?"
"It’s almost like it is acting according to some kind of ‘rule’!"
"But I shouldn’t have sensed the power of the rules… could it be…"
"Wait! I get it!"
Lolth’s eyes widened, suddenly showing a look of understanding.
But the next second…
"Bang!"
Lolth also fell into a deep sleep and collapsed on the ground.
