System vs Rebirth

"Spirit Affinity Pill? You can make that? The one to raise the absorption rate? What do you want? Do you want me to kill some nobles? Let me have that pill. Please."

Livia was overwhelmed by Duke Lorelei's enthusiasm. She smiled wryly while trying to take a step back, but the duke's grip was firm, as though he didn't plan to release her.

Livia sighed and explained, "Yes. We're able to make it, but it's still in the research period. According to the creator, it won't take that long because the Spirit Awakening Pill is the foundation of that pill.

"However, before coming here, I have read your profile, and it mentions that you have a low absorption rate, which is understandable that you want such a pill. Still, shouldn't you have finished filling up your quota? Can you even absorb another demon crystal at this stage?

"According to the creator, this pill is only to increase the absorption rate, not the limit of one's demon crystal. Hence, I don't think it's a good idea for you to have it."

"Too weak. Do you think I'm someone who doesn't have a plan?" Duke Lorelei grinned. "I can simply cut down an ancient demon at this point. Although they haven't reached this place for a long time, there are a bunch of them if you venture deep enough into the demon territory.

"I can simply cut them down and get their demon crystal. This will be enough for me to become a spirit transcendence."

"This…" Livia rubbed her cheek awkwardly. "Isn't that dangerous? If you still have a slot, why don't you just do it? You should be able to reach it without the pill."

"Although I said there are a bunch of them deep in the demon territory, do you think it's that easy to find them? I will have to risk my life to find them alone, let alone killing them.

"That's why my original plan is to find the nearest one. Without the pill, I won't be able to become a spirit transcendence. I have researched my body and the limit for so long that I'm sure of it.

"However, if I can just increase my absorption rate by at least 5%, there's a high chance for me to reach that level.

"That's why, give it to me. What do you want? As long as I can become a spirit transcendence, it doesn't really matter what I do. Of course, except for leaving humanity. I don't plan on joining the demons." Duke Lorelei added the most important condition. Not that it was necessary since they knew Duke Lorelei's principle.

As for his neutrality, it wasn't a principle to begin with. If it was his principle, he wouldn't have supported the third princess. It was the princess' order that forced him to declare such a thing so that no one would bother to take him away from her.

Livia thought for a moment and explained, "For the time being, please calm down. It's not like we can make the pill right away. I believe that my teacher will return first before we can do anything with those pills.

"Hence, that decision will have to wait until my teacher returns. At the same time, I will explain everything to my teacher regarding the Spirit Affinity Pill.

"In addition, since my teacher hasn't returned, which pill will be researched first is not decided yet. If you agree to my condition, I will send a message back to the Ardagan family to research the Spirit Affinity Pill first. If my teacher knows that the progress of this pill has reached a certain point, I don't think he will give the creator an order to research another pill."

Duke Lorelei listened carefully. It didn't seem like they were planning to impose a heavy condition.

Duke Lorelei thought for a moment before asking, "What is the condition?"

"I'm here to distract the enemies."

"Oh." Duke Lorelei nodded in understanding. "You want to use this meeting to make them come to me? As a result, they will try their hardest to suppress me, even with the royal family's support.

"Ultimately, they won't have enough strength to deal with the Ardagan family. Is that correct?"

"Yes. We're planning to ask Countess Christina the same thing." Livia nodded.

Duke Lorelei crossed his arms. "That's not enough. I will force them to stay here and weaken them even further. If they know that I'm being adamant and becoming petty, they will be forced to stop me here.

"No. Should I just focus on the defense? How about I help you with the defense on the rune technology, specifically the rune technology you've sold to other nobles? They're probably trying to use it to their advantage. After all, everyone loves safety issues."

Livia widened her eyes. "You will do that?"

"Yeah. This should be enough for this pill." Duke Lorelei shrugged. "Why? Do you not like it?"

"No, no. We'd definitely love you to do that. However, I can only tell my teacher about the pills. I can't affect his decision."

"That's fine. As long as you tell him about my progress if I have that pill to him.""

She nodded her head.

"All right. In that case, I should eat this." Duke Lorelei grabbed the pill.

"You're going to take it now?"

"Yes? Is there a problem? Do you need me to have a safe place to swallow this? Will it take a long time?

"But you mentioned earlier the process of Dimitri taking the pill. If it only took a few minutes, I should just take it here. Well, to avoid you getting injured because of my sudden awakening, you should leave first. I'll tell my butler to bring you to your room."

Livia blinked her eyes a few times. "No. I was just surprised that you didn't even hesitate. You didn't think we wouldn't poison that pill?"noveldrama

"There's no reason for you to do it. Besides, I know your teacher. If you did something bad, he would definitely suffer because of my sword. His disciples should be aware of that possibility as well, so there was no way they would do that." Duke Lorelei shrugged.

Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Livia was astounded, while Duke Lorelei ordered his butler to bring her to her room before he swallowed the pill.
