"The Dragon Requiem Weapon developed by the Doctor is a weapon specifically designed to counter the Blood of Ether. 'Death' means death... This weapon may also have the meaning of slaying dragons?"

I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, because I don't understand most of the terminology.

However, the doctor clearly stated in the manuscript that the Dragon Requiem Weapon can absorb Blood of Ether and has a chance to regress citizens of the Hidden Society back to ordinary people.

Although the success rate was low... it gave Ya Wen a lot of hope and motivation.

"If the Blood of Ether in my body is extracted and stripped away... at least I can still preserve my own personality, right?"

That's enough.

Since infiltrating high society, Ya Wen has been using her connections to gather information about the Dragon Requiem Weapon ' Dia Lan '.

First, she was certain that Dia Lan was on this planet, and was currently living on White Candle Star.

According to the records left by the doctor, the doctor passed away four years ago. At that time, the record form of ' Dia Lan ' showed that he was only 13 years old, without a guardian or identity certificate. According to the law, a 13-year-old child cannot leave the planet to explore the stars.

The next step is to narrow down the search area and gather intelligence. We should do as little as possible, subtracting rather than adding. Ya Wen draws on her past experience in Law Enforcement Division Four, focusing on investigating Dia Lan's background and the people she has come into contact with.

She quickly identified her target group – students.

Seventeen-year-old Dia Lan didn't have many options.

From a background perspective, Dia Lan possesses both the True Dragon Species and the Titan bloodline, two top-tier beings. Such an existence, still in its infancy and not yet fully grown, is easily targeted by the Magic Aristocratic Family eager to Improved Bloodline. Whether for research or breeding, it would be an excellent choice.

Therefore, if Dia Lan were to live alone on White Candle Star, his only way out would be to attend university and rely on the school for protection.

A major characteristic of Magic Civilization is that academic cliques are also financial cliques. The power of the academic world is more terrifying than that of the military. They directly control the lifeline and upward mobility of the civilization. Magicians are the most typical group whose destiny is changed by knowledge. Relying on their accumulated knowledge and extensive connections, academic cliques can completely ditch capital and develop new Magic Weapon or civilian equipment on their own.

This is why schools are among the few places that can avoid the interference of politics, the military, and aristocratic families. In other words, in the context of Magic Civilization, educational and research institutions are the most powerful political groups.

Since Dia Lan didn't have many options, Ya Wen began to investigate this aspect.

She was very lucky. Although White Candle Star was Magic Civilization, the Underlying Logic of the network of Magic Civilization was similar to that of a technological civilization. After entering the Internet era, most of the protocol rules were similar.

This means that detailed lists of admitted students can be found on the official websites of certain government agencies.

Ya Wen first investigated the names of the test takers each year. This was a huge amount of data. She went to several nearby cities but still couldn't find Dia Lan's name.

Later, while chatting with wealthy ladies over tea, one of them mentioned using a Magic Application to check her husband's hotel booking records, which gave Ya Wen an idea.

After all, any candidate, in the marathon-like format of the Magic Qualification Exam that lasts for several days, needs to stay nearby to rest and maintain their energy.

Seizing the opportunity, she quickly found the relevant records—just this year, 17-year-old Dia Lan stayed at a budget hotel in Airatu City. Ya Wen immediately found her test center, and through some connections and by giving some insignificant gifts, Ya Wen bribed the staff to provide her with Dia Lan's candidate number and exam number.

The rest is easy.

Ya Wen used the exam number to reverse-engineer Dia Lan's identity information. Using her self-made password cracking tool, she logged into Dia Lan's student record website and easily found out her enrollment information.

"Trivella City... White Candle Star Interstellar University, Magic Application Department, First Year, Student ID 57571189, ID Number..."

It looks like they did very well on the exam; White Candle Star Interstellar University is a prestigious key university.

Ya Wen looked at the information on the website and fell into thought.

Trivella City, it seems Mr. Li Aoz also went to university there.

Although she hasn't revealed it, with her abilities, she could easily find out about Li Aoz's school.

"Let me take this opportunity to apologize to Mr. Li Aoz..."

Ya Wen felt guilty when she thought about how she had been arguing with Li Aoz because of her own emotional turmoil and avoiding his concern.

No matter what... Mr. Li Aoz was indeed very concerned about me. Given his character, he rarely paid such attention to others, especially considering what he said at the time: ...

What I want to say is—please rest assured, I will always believe in you.

"If anything happens to you, Yawen·Hesksin, I Li Aoz, will be responsible for cleaning up your house. No one but me can kill you."

"It's not a matter of whether I should or shouldn't do it, it's that I can do it, so I did it—as long as you believe in me, I will continue to believe in you."

"No matter what, please remember this: Yawen·Hesksin, you mean a lot to me."

Smack

Ya Wen covered her face; the thought of those words made her ears turn red.

No matter what... those words were too devastating for her!

"This time, I'll apologize to him properly, and then—I must seize the opportunity to make a good impression on Mr. Li Aoz."

If I can find Dia Lan and ask her to remove the Blood of Ether from my body, I can be with Mr. Li Aoz without worry... and maybe we really will become lovers.

Then, will you get married? Have children?

She quickly opened the makeup mirror to see her reflection.

"I'm not bad looking, and I have a good figure, with big breasts and long legs. I should be a good match for Mr. Li Aoz's handsome face. I just hope that our child won't inherit my looks. Those horrible spider web eyes... Oh no, I can't rely on looks alone. He'll definitely think I'm too superficial."

But on the other hand, Li Aoz praised himself as 'of extraordinary significance'.

"I should have some confidence in myself! Yeah, that's it."

After calming herself down, Ya Wen patted her cheeks and quickly called the housekeeper at the villa, "Sister Annie, I'm planning to go to Trivella tomorrow, please prepare some dishes that men like in advance."

Hearing this, the nanny clearly misunderstood and immediately said confidently, "Don't worry, Ms. Ya Wen, I've been cooking for thirty years, I guarantee your husband will be happy with his meal."

"No, we haven't reached that point yet." Ya Wen denied it, but her lips couldn't close her mouth. "--Sister Annie, you've been working hard lately, let me give you another 30% raise this month."

"Oh dear, how can you do that?"

"Of course, you're worth it."

Ya Wen chuckled as she leaned back in the luxury car, gazing at the scenery outside the window. Even ordinary passersby looked beautiful.

All the efforts so far seem to have been worthwhile.

Hope is just around the corner.

Once he leaves the shadows and can exist as a human being, Mr. Li Aoz will surely gradually accept himself—yes, who would dislike a reasonably good-looking, slightly wealthy, caring, and loving young woman? "It's a pity my family background is a bit poor. If my father hadn't gone to prison, I'd be the daughter of a president, or even a princess in ancient times, hehe! A princess, indeed..."

Li Aoz is a great hero and legend of the Azure Planet.

In fairy tales, heroes and princesses... how perfectly matched!

Ya Wen raised her hand; the sunlight was too bright, making her feel like she was smiling a little foolishly.

Whether it's stupid or not doesn't matter anymore.

Si Jia, do you see? I haven't let you down. I'm still trying to live, and the hope of escaping the darkness is just around the corner.

The moment of truth for Yawen·Hesksin is finally about to begin.
