Chapter 649 Septaʼs Investigation

”This is…” Septa furrowed his eyebrows, looking at a few documents on the table.

There were a total of four documents that took his attention.

The first document stated, ”Two people from the Demon Banner Army caused problems to the Fagant Leaf Cultivation. Their names are Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze. They are both in the special target list.”

”A special target list? Whose list? The Supreme Devil Organization?” Septa frowned. ”Why did they become the special target list? I can kind of understand why Anna Stargaze is on that list, considering she is the most talented person. Then, why does Noel Ardagan have his name on that list too?

”I have heard some rumors, but I donʼt think itʼs true… it was said that a previous captain of the Demon Banner Army had defected to the Supreme Devil Organization. And that person was one of the Ardagans… I donʼt know much about it, but it seems I have to confirm this matter with the commander.”

Septa let out a long sigh and took a look at the second document. This time, it was a letter. The letter didnʼt have the senderʼs name, but looking at the content alone was enough to tell who the sender was. After all, this letter was related to the sabotage of the exploration.

”You have to capture the special target list number 7, Noel Ardagan, during the expedition. The others can die, but Noel Ardagan has to be captured alive.”

Septa immediately frowned because this matter wasnʼt small. With just this letter, he had enough evidence about the Plant Lordʼs betrayal.

His action wouldnʼt be blamed by the Tower Association. In fact, the Tower Association would be questioned by the Demon Banner Army and the public.

But he couldnʼt help but feel something was wrong with the special target list.

”Noel Ardagan is ranked 7th in the list. But there is no Noel Ardagan in the expedition… As expected, Iadre is Noel Ardagan. And the Supreme Devil Organization has known about his identity. And the only person who can find Iadreʼs real identity is someone who belongs to the same family… It means the traitor from the Ardagan Family.

”And I donʼt know how Noel can rank that high… Who are the six people above him? Well, I think Anna is one of them. The rest are probably important people like the king, the crown prince, the commander, and two others… But for now, this is just a conjecture.”

After the letter, the next document was related to something beyond his imagination.

”This… is actually a research related to the ongoing investigation…” Septa gasped. ”I truly like researcher… They usually keep everything instead of burning the trace away.”

Septa had a hard time infiltrating this place. But after finding the small secret room hidden in the Plant Lordʼs office, he could easily find all the proof.

As a researcher, the Plant Lord always recorded everything so that it could be used for the later research. But it seemed to be backfired since he got all his dirt in one go.

From the title of the document alone, he knew what it was talking about.

”The Effect of Saxalia Grass to the Demonʼs Sense.”

Septa immediately gritted his teeth. After all, there were a lot of problems coming from this research.

Septa muttered the conclusion of the research. ”By combining the Saxalia Grass, Lei Tree Sap, and Green Tea Leaves, it can create a smell that will distract the demonʼs senses. It will appear that the humans who apply the solution will be considered objects instead of living beings by the demon.”

”As expected, itʼs always weird that the demons and the humans are cooperating with each other. After all, from all the reports Iʼve received this whole time, itʼs stated that people lock the demons.”

”With this research, the Plant Lord can create a solution to camouflage oneʼs presence from the demon. It must be extremely useful for the Low and Mid Level Demons who donʼt have enough intelligence and rely on their instinct to move. But Advanced Level Demons are trickier…”

”And I donʼt think itʼs possible to do anything to the Peak Level Demon, let alone the Superior Demon. For now, with this research, we can create a countermeasure even if the Supreme Devil Organization has this solution.”

”We are lucky that we can find something like this before there are a lot of casualties.” Septa let out a long sigh.

Last but not least, it was related to the noble that planned to create a Demon Farm. However, the research was started before the Supreme Devil Organization made contact with the demon.

The research was related to the plants that could be used to strengthen the demons.

There were some special plants that seemed to be able to increase the demonʼs strength.

”Hmm… Since the demons couldnʼt be tamed, the organization must want to grow the demons from the start before releasing them. It doesnʼt need to be controlled… since an army of demons will be useful to keep us at bay.”

Septa pinched the bridge of his nose. All the research here was beyond his imagination. He never thought that the Plant Lord was involved with a lot of things.

If everything was known by the public, it would be a huge blow to the Supreme Devil Organization. But it would also create a lot of problems as the Demon Banner Army would be receiving the anger of the organization.

They were prepared for it, but the damage would be enormous. So, they might have to conceal some information.

Septa thought for a moment. ”Well, Iʼve got everything I want from this place. I should go back and report this matter to the commander.”

Septa had expected a lot of problems by killing the Plant Lord since it wasnʼt an official mission. But it seemed that the Plant Lord was the source of the problems itself. So, all the regrets from killing the Plant Lord disappeared in his heart.

With this, he returned to the Demon Banner Army Headquarters in order to report this matter to the commanders.
