"You taught Luo Fan how to extract the inscriptions from the magic core, didn't you? How far have you progressed in your research? Have you found inscriptions usable by humans, or a way for humans to utilize the inscriptions of magical beasts?"
Seeing Lilith's expression, Gandalf asked the question he had always wanted to understand.
"Inscriptions? That thing has always wanted to transform into human form, yet it figured out how to extract inscriptions so quickly. Not bad, as expected of the slime I've been eyeing."
"Grandpa, tell me about Ellie's current situation, including that slime."
"Oh. Ellie is currently a level 7 high-level mage, and her cultivation level is very stable. That slime is level 51 and has even mastered spatial magic. He has also transferred runes to several magical pets."
"By the way, its spiritual sense is very strong, probably not much weaker than mine. I am only stronger than it because of my spiritual sense."
"What? That thing has mastered spatial magic! Grandpa, you haven't even mastered it yet, have you?" Upon hearing this, Lilith's expression changed drastically. Had many years already passed outside?
No, my sense of time is so strong, it's definitely not a time issue. The reason must lie with that slime.
"Sigh, I'm getting old, my comprehension isn't as strong anymore, I've only scratched the surface." The old man shook his head and explained, his comprehension was even less than that of a slime, it was embarrassing to say that out loud.
"Where is he now?" She didn't know much about the changes in the outside world.
"Let's go to the Elf Realm to find the Fountain of Life!"
"As expected, that guy is still obsessed with taking human form." Lilith said with a smile. However, its divine sense is so strong. If it comprehends divine thought, then my role will be much less important.
Want to go out and have a look? It's been so long since I've been out; I don't even know what the world looks like now.
That slime has mastered spatial magic and is asking me for help. Could it be that he's really encountered something he can't solve? There seems to be some hidden information in his letter, something that silly girl Meimei used.
"Yes, he's very persistent and has been searching for relevant research and intelligence. But he's also very attentive to the girls around him!" He had secretly followed Luo Fan before and knew many signs of his investigation.
"Those girls??"
"Yes, there are more than a dozen, all different sizes, and they are all very beautiful!" The old man did not notice the change in Lilith's emotions.
"Turns out he's a perverted slime, and Ellie just spoils him rotten. That little brat, if I go out there, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
He still wants to be a good son-in-law, but he's philandering. How could I possibly tolerate this without giving him a good beating?
Upon hearing the change in the other person's mood, the old man stopped adding fuel to the fire. "Luo Fan, you'd better pray for yourself."
"If the slime's analysis is correct, I really should go out for a while. As for the questions you mentioned, I can answer them now. I have indeed found a method for studying inscriptions."
Remembering the old man's previous question, Lilith explained it seriously.
"You probably already know the general principles. Many studies are actually easier to conduct here, including how to create runes for magical beasts. It's just that the growth rate is slow, and I haven't been able to figure out many of them over the years."
"As for research on human inscriptions, very few results have been achieved, while the demons have made faster progress."
“That Melissa has figured out the principle of the demon’s magic channel and can mass-produce it. She is now working on how to reduce the erosion of divine consciousness by magic elements.”
"So, the demons with the aura of the Demon Abyss that have appeared in the outside world?" The old man thought of something.
"Those are simplified versions that require medication to control. The Fisher Empire has been conducting research in that area, probably hoping to bring out the Demon King in one step."
"The impending major war outside is probably related to these things. That idiot Melissa must have sold some of her research findings."
Gandalf clicked his tongue inwardly. Neither of these two women were good people. Much of the research on human-demon hybrids was actually done by them.
"So, there really aren't any inscriptions that humans can use themselves?" The old man was still unwilling to give up.
"Yes, the Heifel Empire has some kind of secret technique that allows people to use the ability of special inscriptions for a short time, but the backlash is huge. I suspect that there is a certain god of magic hiding in this world, who is secretly controlling everything."
"By the way, that old cunning guy must be a dark elementalist; other elementalists can't even use this kind of secret technique."
Gandalf was initially delighted, but the subsequent devastating news instantly dashed his hopes.
"That bastard from that empire isn't willing to share the fruits of their labor. They treat them like treasures, keeping them all in the hands of the Holy Magisters," Lilith said, wishing she could kill them.
Just when they saw a glimmer of hope for continuing their research, they encountered a group of closed-off old folks who had even cut off all contact with others.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore, it's really ruined my mood. Any other questions? If not, I'll go and do something else."
"Can transforming into a demon really allow one to take that step?" Gandalf quickly asked, looking at Lilith who had already stood up.
"Half a step, but it will soon become a real demonic beast. Only by staying in the Demon Abyss can it survive."
“Grandpa, if you don’t want to become that kind of inhuman, ghostly thing, and become food for those demon kings in the Demon Abyss, then give up that idea.”
"There's no such thing as a free lunch!"
After saying that, Lilith walked out and disappeared before his eyes.
A great war? Those guys are still thinking about opening the Gate of the Abyss! Lilith walked towards her room, still thinking about what she had just learned.
"What, what does that old hag want with you?" A chill swept over, and without even looking up, one knew it was that annoying ice witch, Lissandra.
"Nothing much, there's probably going to be a war outside." If it weren't for some experiments requiring rapid freezing, she wouldn't have bothered looking for her.
"That's a good thing. If the Gate of the Abyss is opened, with my charm, I could easily seduce a demon god and have some fun with him." Lissandra joked. After staying here for so long, the originally aloof girl's personality had become quite twisted.
Moreover, she stayed there much longer than Lilith.
"I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to get back to work." With that, she closed the door to her room.
Lissandra had no desire to enter that dimly lit room and quickly returned home disappointed.
After reopening Luo Fan's letter and studying it carefully, I found that there were indeed other words hidden behind the characters. They were clearly the little tricks that I had taught the succubus before.
They've hooked up, that's great news! I hope that guy hasn't been seduced by Meimei!
The text was short, but it excited the woman greatly. She quickly took out the carving knife, cleaned away the powder, and began to study it in detail.
Sure enough, there were indeed rudiments of human inscriptions on this thing.
Little guy, I knew I wasn't wrong about you; you truly are one of a kind. As for you keeping other girls behind my back, I won't bother as long as Ellie accepts it.
By the way, what on earth is this black powder?
Overjoyed, Lilith finally remembered those things she couldn't understand and quickly collected them again. She still couldn't figure out what they were, but since they could block her senses, they were definitely not simple.
Not bad, not bad, these are all things she likes. That little Luo Fan is indeed very sensible. He'll go out for a stroll in a few days!
