Demon Laws
Chapter 20: The Beginning of the Devil's Way

The genius!

This kid must be a pharmaceutical genius!

Dewey judged the magician before him inwardly. If let this kid continue his research, maybe he'll become a master one day.

But what Dewey was thinking about right now was how to use magic with pharmaceutical science.

This witch was overjoyed when she brought up the results of her research. Previously he was unable to share the greatest achievements of his life with others, and felt regret. But he finally said it without thinking about anything at the moment. This witch's eyes sparkled, filled with pride, even moving her hands with vigor. “People like me have enough spiritual power, which is magic power. But the power felt somewhat lacking. Unable to sense magic elements in the surroundings. So I thought, like a person with weak hearing. If the sound around tends to be small, he can't hear it automatically. But if the sound around is very loud, very noisy, maybe he can hear it.”

Dewey's eyes also sparkled and immediately replied. “So you use the objects extracted from pharmaceutical science to enhance the magic element around?”

“Yes! ‘Element api’ is the most basic in fire magic. But even the wisest magician does not know what ‘element api’ is. Because everyone only knows how to use it, no idea how it happens. And if the drugs can burn, it means the drug also contains ‘ api’ elements. I made a parable. My sensing power was too weak, so in the same environment, people with strong feeling power could sense magic elements all around, but I was not. If the magic elements around could be added to a certain proportion, it should be that people with slow feeling power like me could also sense it, right? That way, can't I already use magic?”

“Then you did it?” Dewey exhaled.

“Ya!” The witch said seriously. “I have done a lot of testing. The main direction of my research is fire magic. I assumed that the drug that could burn contained the element of fire. But how to extract this fire element has taken up a lot of my time. I left my teacher and came south on my own. I also have a small magic testing lab. I've created a lot of extraction tools there. After researching for several years, I finally found it.”

Dewey was excited. “You have found the fire element? What exactly is the fire element?”

“Um, I don't know either.” The witch felt helpless. “I have tested at least more than one hundred kinds of recipes and more than 300 ways of extraction. Until just a moment ago, after finishing a test, I used some sort of recipe to extract more than a dozen plants and fuse them with a kind of black powder. Then I suddenly felt it.”

“Taste it?” Dewey raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, I feel it! My extremely slow sensing power, unable to sense any magic elements. But when I managed to make this powder, and flew it with my own homemade fan according to the procedure, I finally felt it! I tried a fire magic but found that I could clearly feel the pulse of the fire element in nature! I... I succeeded!”

When talking up to here, the witch was rather excited. “I've been into the world of magic since the age of thirteen. After twenty years, I can finally use magic. Even though it was only the lowest fireball technique, I almost died from being happy when I saw I shot a fireball the size of a fist.”

Dewey sighed as he looked at the face of this child. “So, the fireball you fired while fighting with my subordinates at the beer shop that day..

“Ya.” Witch nodded. “I brought a few bottles with me. The bottles contained the powder I extracted. When I need to use magic, I will open a bottle with my hands hidden inside my sleeves, letting the powder inside out. Then I could feel the existence of the fire element and use magic.”

Strange way, but this kid is indeed a genius.

Merely, Dewey thought of a question, his expression changing in astonishment. “Your magician's qualifications are obtained in this way?”

The witch's face flushed. “I know that this way is the same as cheating, but I cannot control my desire for the name of the witch.”

“I can understand,” Dewey paused his words. “But I was astonished, why did you only take the level one magician examination? If you have magic talent and have already solved the problem of feeling power, you should be able to take the higher level magician exam, right?”

“No, I can't do it.” This prisoner shook his head. “Despite the way I've solved the power feeling problem, I was soon faced with new difficulties. After racking my brain for a long time, I was unable to solve this difficulty.”

“What difficulty?” Dewey cares a lot about all this. After all, could he learn and use magic have to rely on this child.

“I have done the testing. Even if I had extracted the yellow powder that was rich in fire elements, because I felt the power was too bad, I could only use the lowest fireball technique with the fire element so rich.” The witch smiled bitterly. “Do you think I don't want to use higher level magic? I even had fantasies. If I could raise the fire element around in my own way, in theory, I could continue to improve through the fire element around. Finally, I might be able to use fire magic level ‘burn town’. What an honor and success to be a forbidden witch. I can jump to the top of the mainland magician level almost instantly.”

He's very excited. Unfortunately, his tone blurred at the end. “Unfortunately, my problem is that I feel very weak strength. If I want to use a higher level fire magic, I can only let the fire element around continue to increase. The higher the concentration level, the higher the level of fire magic I can use. But the yellow powder I extracted already contained a high level of fire element. I have no other way to increase the concentration of the fire element. Besides, I even made an estimate. If in an environment with a high level of fire element only I can only use the lowest level fireball technique, then to use medium level fire magic, then, the fire element around should be increased by at least tens of times. Tens times! What does that mean? Maybe just throw me into a fire pit. In the new fire there is such a rich fire element. But then, I'll burn to death first.”

“So even if you have fought the difficulty in feeling power, you can only use the lowest level magic.” Dewey draws his conclusions.

“Ya.”

“Then, how about your instant technique?” Dewey was still interested in the way this boy shot fireballs without reciting a spell.

“It's just an opportunistic method in pharmaceutical science.” The witch is a little embarrassed. “My magic does not use magic elements from nature, but rather magic elements that I created myself. When using magic, magicians must use spells to summon and search for magic elements in the air. But I don't need to call or search, because the fire element is up my sleeve.”

If, then.. if only!

If he could get through this difficulty, let this magician use a higher magic level, he could still be instant.

Just imagine, a magician who could unleash high-level fire magic and did not need to cast a spell at the same time. How strong will this child be in the future!

Then Dewey patiently conversed with this witch for a long time. Dewey deliberately shifted the topic to pharmaceutical science. Although the witch did not initially know Dewey's identity, now that she had a large castle in the Rollin Plain, this child was definitely a descendant of the famous Rollin family.

Witches were shocked because such noble nobles, so adept in pharmaceutical sciences that were looked down upon by the leading men. This is a rare thing.

Yet this little noble actually researched about pharmaceutical science. His knowledge made the witch feel amazed. After the atmosphere of their conversation was more harmonious, Dewey finally said what he was going through. At that time he wanted to become a witch, but failed because he was considered untalented.

The experience made the witch feel pity, a feeling of sympathy arose.

This little nobleman had the same experience as himself. They both wanted magic and found themselves untalented. Both of them were even born with great magic power, but were weak in strength felt.

Even though there had previously been a dispute between them, and the witch was still a prisoner of Dewey now, the witch's disgust towards this little noble had diminished a lot.

He caught her just because of a longing for magic.

At least Dewey's determination to be a witch is just like him.

“Solskjaer.” Dewey muttered the witch's name. When they were chatting earlier, Dewey had learned the name of the witch. He saw a witch at a glance. “I asked you. Why do you want to be a witch? After becoming a witch, what do you want to get?”

“Um...” Solskjaer thought for a moment. “The work of magicians is to explore the mysteries of magic and toil in researching magic. Forever immersed in the mystery of magic. But I was destined to be unable to become a high-level mage, so exploring the mysteries of magic had less to do with me. Therefore I just want to get the thing I want.”

“You mean, the position and treatment the witch received?” Dewey chuckles. “Your answers are honest. And you're right, the treatment that witches receive is always very good. Wherever the magician went, he always wanted to be recruited by powerful and reputable people, could be treated well and politely. But remember, you are only the lowest level mage. No reputable person would spend a lot of money to recruit low-standard magicians.”

Solskjaer. He knows that Dewey's telling the facts. Despite gaining recognition as a witch, she was only the lowest level mage. Wherever he went, he found that he was not welcomed like his shadow.

At first the people were shocked and behaved respectfully after knowing that she was a witch. But after knowing that he was only the lowest level mage, their enthusiasm instantly decreased tenfold.

This was the reason Solskjaer was forced to join Joline's small adventurer team. He wanted to join a large army group, but others did not even glance at him.

Seeing Solskjaer's helpless expression, Dewey knew that this was the time. He smiled faintly and said, “Solskjaer, if your dream is to be treated and respected as a witch, serve me. You can be my personal magic advisor. I'll give you a very good treatment. Honor, position, and the things you need, I can fulfill them. You also know that I am a member of the Rollin family. Rollin's surname won't insult you, will it?”

Solskjaer's heart is pounding.

Taking refuge in this little nobleman seemed like a good choice. Despite a bit of disagreement between them before, Dewey was just addicted to magic. In addition, their conversation was also very fun. The most important thing was this little noble exactly like himself who turned to pharmaceutical science after there was no hope in the path of magic. That experience makes Solskjaer feel have ‘ friends senasib’.

In addition, being a magic advisor to the Rollin family can get good treatment. What else is there to doubt?

“I...” Solskjaer thought for a moment. “I'm willing to accept your recruits, but I have to go back south. My laboratory is in the south, I still have a lot of equipment, materials, as well as various valuable powders that I extracted there. It all had to be moved here and some things had to be done by myself. You also know that the laboratory of a witch should not be moved carelessly by ordinary people. That's very dangerous.”

Dewey thought for a moment. Let him go back south, no problem. But, this kid is not thinking of running away?

Moreover, the child who got the name of the witch in this fraudulent manner, was very valuable to Dewey right now. There can be no mistake whatsoever.

So Dewey made a decision. “Look, I am also very interested in your laboratory, so I will go south with you.”

The future path of Devil Rolland is open today.
