This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 385 - 322: The Abnormal Siris

As Lette entered the Life Leaf Library, he immediately noticed the Dragon Slayer’s Wail was lodged in the center of the hall.

A series of arrays surrounded it, glowing with an eerie purple light.

"Ah, you’ve arrived!"

Lady Siris stepped out from behind a bookshelf, carrying a scroll, and approached with a gleeful smile.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I’m almost at the final step."

Looking at the magic array on the ground, Lette was very interested: "What are you doing?"

"I’ve been researching the principle of the specific destruction attribute contained within this weapon."

"I remember explaining to you before that the reason this blade can be so effective against the Dragon Clan is because it contains powerful Desire Power.

This results in its incredible lethality against the Dragon Clan, but to non-dragon enemies, it’s merely a very nice-looking large blade."

Lady Siris nodded continuously: "I know, I know, but there’s one thing that’s not clear. That is, how is the Dragon Clan defined?

Or rather, how does this blade determine if the enemy is part of the Dragon Clan?

I know, you might say it’s due to Desire Power.

But Desire Power is just an energy body containing soul shards and simple intent.

Even though it’s stronger than other energy bodies, its capabilities are limited.

The Dragon Clan can’t be considered a well-defined species in the grand world system.

The range of the Dragon Clan is broad and ambiguous.

For example, does an earth dragon count as part of the Dragon Clan?"

Emily looked puzzled: "What’s an earth dragon?"

The Elf Princess hastened to explain: "It’s a large four-legged lizard, which, although dragon-like in appearance and name, actually doesn’t have any dragon bloodline.

It’s not even considered a dragon beast, let alone a Dragon Descendant."

Lette frowned: "So this is the problem you’re researching."

"Yes. I got some inspiration from the origins of this weapon that you told me about.

Since the primary Desire Power of this blade comes from people whose homes were destroyed by evil dragons, their understanding of dragons should be based on these victims’ knowledge.

This means that if there’s a type of dragon unknown to the victims and the wielder can’t identify it as part of the Dragon Clan when confronting it,

then can the Dragon Slayer’s Wail exert its original power?"

At this point, Siris walked into the array.

"Or, just like I mentioned about the earth dragon. Its appearance is dragon-like, and the ignorant masses mostly believe it’s a type of dragon.

If the wielder also decides it belongs to the Dragon Clan, can the Dragon Slayer’s Wail exert its power?

If it does, will the power it exerts cause great harm to an earth dragon that isn’t a dragon?

These are all worth researching."

Lette applauded: "As expected of a master of the Elf Clan, you truly have made contributions."

Elf Princess Rosadina puffed out her chest proudly: "I told you, my teacher is very impressive."

"So, have you figured out the results?"

"Haha... not yet."

Elf Princess Rosadina froze in place.

Lady Siris spread her hands: "The materials are too few, and the time too short."

Lette waved his hand: "As for time, I can grant you a bit more. After all, there aren’t many dragons left in this world, and the use of this blade isn’t frequent.

You can take your time researching to your heart’s content...

But as for dragons, I’m afraid I can’t help. It seems there’s little of the Dragon Clan left in this world.

However, there are low level angels made with dragon blood and flesh. I wonder if that interests you."

Lady Siris clapped her hands: "That, indeed, could be used as experimental subjects! But I need more dragons to perfect my experimental data.

Only by understanding the data clearly can we define the scope and direction of the research."

Lilith looked at Lette: "If you’re really interested, you could have demons from the Demon Realm help collect some dragon materials for you.

After all, the relations between the Demon Realm and the Dragon Realm have always been sour."

Emily quickly grabbed Lilith: "Don’t start a war between the realms over something like this!"

"There’s no need for that. If we genuinely want to research, I could just go to the Dragon Realm and bring back some dragons, couldn’t I?"

"Don’t raid the Dragon Realm over something like this either!"

Emily suddenly felt like she might be one of the few sane people among them.

Lady Siris handed over the scroll in her hand with a full smile.

"Though I haven’t deduced the desired conclusions, I’ve achieved some interim results.

I’ve written all the experimental data and results on this."

Lette opened it up and was immediately drawn in by the contents.

"Lady Siris, your interpretation of Desire Power is indeed unique. There are many theories in there I’ve seen for the first time."

"Really? That would be wonderful if it helps."

Lady Siris shyly tucked her hair behind her ears and, with a wave, extinguished the magic array around the Dragon Slayer Blade, personally pulling out the long blade and handing it to Lette.

"Return to its owner, Mr. Wright."

"You can keep it for further research."

"No, without additional materials, the research can’t proceed. Moreover, the Elf Empire is currently at war. Even if I wanted to seek research materials, I’d have to wait a bit.

I can’t delay the Elf Empire’s matters because of my research.

Besides, I’m also a member of the Elf Empire.

I didn’t participate in the full mobilization earlier due to research matters, and if I don’t contribute to the Elf Empire now, the war might be over."

Lette took the Dragon Slayer Blade, and with a flick of his hand, it transformed into a starlight returning to his palm, turning into a small mark.

"In that case, when I gather enough materials in the future, I will definitely invite you to participate in the research and analysis."

Lady Siris bowed deeply: "Thank you so much. I will certainly participate then."

Lette turned to the Elf Princess: "Rosadina, your teacher has worked hard these days. You should stay to care for her.

And while you’re at it, brief her on the current war situation in the Elf Empire these days.

The three of us will be fine going back alone."

"As you wish, Lord!"

The Elf Princess, who already missed her teacher very much, gladly agreed when she heard Lette say this.

After bidding farewell to Lady Siris, the three of them left the Life Leaf Library and boarded a carriage for their return journey.

"Hmph, that woman is probably about to make her move."

Hearing Lette’s words, Emily looked puzzled: "Ah? What’s up? Did you notice something? Why didn’t I sense anything?"

Lette sneered as he set a seal on the scroll given by Siris before speaking.

"Returning the blade neither sooner nor later, but right before the final battle, she handed the blade back.

Furthermore, how does she know the current war situation when she’s always inside the library?

The entire Elf Empire is under wartime special management regulations, prohibiting private discussion of war-related matters.

And when I just spoke to the princess, Rosadina had no other reaction, indicating that she hadn’t discussed front-line matters with Siris before.

So, through what other channels did she obtain the front-line war intelligence?"

Lette narrowed his eyes at the scroll in his hand.

"Lilith, you must keep a close eye on this person for me."
