Demon Laws

Chapter 6: Poison Witch

The back-to-back blows made Earl Raymond very disappointed in his son. And after being disappointed, he tried more and more.

Don't get me wrong, he's no longer interested in spending his mind on that idiot son who has no talent whatsoever. Earl focuses ‘usaha’ on his beautiful Countess.

If this son was useless, he was destined to be unable to inherit and develop a family. Then the Earl must try to give birth to another son!

The effort that the Earl instilled in the Countess for one consecutive month finally paid off. The countess is pregnant again. In the winter of the second year, Earl Raymond had a second son at his disposal.

While the Earl's house was celebrating, Dewey still stayed in his room and read books about ‘obat’ that were finally collected.

Thank goodness the last sentence that Witch Clark left before leaving had an effect. Earl let his idiot son study medicine with the mind ‘what else is worse?’

For several months, the Earl had no interest in visiting this son who had completely let him down. Even the Countess dear to Dewey was forced to reduce the frequency of his visits due to pregnancy and near-delivery.

The day after the mother gave birth to a younger brother, Dewey was taken to the Earl's room by a servant to visit his frail mother after giving birth, and his sister.

It could be seen that Earl was very satisfied. Because his newborn son cried loudly as in the Rollin family tradition. In addition, it can be seen that the baby will be strong even though it is newborn.

Earl Raymond wasn't even interested in glancing at his useless son. After Dewey saluted, the Earl shook his hand telling him to leave. Although the Countess lying on the bed felt unbearable, the newborn's cries distracted her.

Dewey came out in silence. The sound of the Earl's satisfied laughter and the cry of the baby was still heard in the back. Even if the heart is numb, Dewey still feels sad.

He reminds himself in his heart. Don't think about the no-no. That man isn't your father, and that woman isn't….

Recalling that rainy night, the beautiful woman once knelt in front of the goddess statue all night for her sake, Dewey felt sad then shook his head strongly.

To divert the complicated feelings at heart, Dewey could only shift all focus to learning.

It is undeniable that Dewey is still interested in the wonders of this world. Although Witch Clark determined that she had no talent, the unaccepting Dewey was still optimistic. The Earl's residence certainly has many books, among which there is much about magic.

After reading many books, Dewey has to admit that Witch Clark's remarks have a point - she does not have the talent to be a witch. Because he did not feel the fluctuation of the magic element even though sitting all day and night. Once, he even fell asleep unconsciously.

Then the unyielding Dewey focuses on ‘pharmaceutical science’ that the Clark Witch says.

Because it looks like pharmaceutical science is also some kind of magic. And the witch medicine is also a kind of witch. Although Dewey only found out what position ‘ medicinal witch’ in the human heart after asking the maid in the palace.

In this world, even though people said that medicinal witches were also some kind of magicians, even the magic society had publicly confirmed it. But in fact, the real minds of the people are ‘this also includes magicians?’

Medicinal magic, as the name implies, is a field that researches various magic medicines.

After much listening, Dewey made a proper metaphor in his heart. When compared to the medical industry in the previous world of life, then magicians were actually equivalent to doctors from various specialists. While the witch medicine. Although both work in hospitals, the status and income of nurses is much lower than that of real doctors.

After careful study, Dewey was very interested in medicinal magic.

According to him, this is a very new field.

For example, with Dorog's jump frog eyes and purple absinthe can make people mute in no time. Another example, the saliva of a starfon sword dragon plus clover and the heart of a keke triangle fish can make a powder that makes people become statues.

Then, the powder, dried and crushed from a substance extracted from fire-scale grass, can cause a fire if it is sown anywhere.

Likewhat?

It's like a chemical system in another world.

Dewey never thought that magic could be explained in this way.

The cure for being mute, the cure for being a statue, the cure for a fire. Very interesting, isn't it?

According to Dewey, the profession of a medicinal witch was actually more like a doctor. It's just that doctors save people, whereas drug witches create drugs that harm people.

Dewey doesn't know if his idea is right as people in this world comment about a medicinal witch: a poison witch.

Day by day passed. Dewey's still immersed in that pharmaceutical science. However, his knowledge was only limited to reading the theory on paper. Because there are so many so-called strange ingredients in pharmaceutical science there is not even in the palace of the Rollin family.

Those materials only exist in the real witch lab. In the field of magic, medicinal magicians usually become assistants to real witches.

No one dared to give those dangerous medicinal ingredients to a small child, even if he was the son of the Earl.

Unknowingly, six years have passed. In the last six years, Dewey's younger brother grew healthy. The boy named Gabriel was more like a typical descendant of the Rollin family than Dewey the idiot.

Since childhood, Dewey's younger brother was healthy and active. At the age of six, he had already started receiving training from the Alpha Swordsman. Listen-listen, the captain of the bodyguards highly praised the Earl's second son. Almost everyone in the palace thought of it as the future hope of the Rollin family. And the Earl clearly devoted all his attention to the second son. He had even decided to teach Gabriel the Rollin family martial arts two years later after Gabriel turned 8.

The love of the servants, the praise of the guard captain, the attention of the father, even an invited mentor thought that the second son of the Earl was extremely talented. There were even rumors that for the sake of the family's future, the Earl had taken the decision to assign a prestigious marriage with a certain family in the imperial capital to his 6-year-old son.

Beyond this, Dewey the eldest son has been forgotten.

The frequency with which the Earl saw his eldest son did not even exist once a month. Only the Countess would often visit her son secretly. Even on certain nights, the Countess would come to Dewey's room barefoot, hugging his poor son while lashing out.

It was only at these moments that Dewey's heart softened. Sometimes, she pretends to sleep to avoid the moment that made her want to cry. Often, the Countess' tears and sighs accompanied her to sleep.

Finally, when Dewey was thirteen years old, Gabriel was seven years old, news spread. This was also the final decision taken by the Earl.

Starting next year, the Earl himself will teach Gabriel martial arts, teaching him the secrets of the Rollin family. At the same time, Earl Raymond also made a marriage agreement with the Imperial Treasury's Minister. Two political allies used this marriage for further cooperation. And Gabriel's future wife is the grandson of the current Imperial Treasury Minister, 9 years old.

Actually there is also an issue that says that this marriage has been established for a long time, even before Gabriel was born. It's just that Dewey was the one who decided to marry the granddaughter of the Minister of Finance. Since Dewey was considered an idiot with no future, the person who shouldered the responsibility of the alliance of the two families was changed to his younger brother, Gabriel the genius.

Dewey….

He left the imperial capital by train on a dark and windy night. The destination was the Rollin family territory located in the southern part of the empire in the province of Cotte. And the announcement given to the outside world is that Young Master Dewey is 13 years old and will take care of the family property there.

In fact, Dewey knew he had been exiled.

Taking care of family property? It was just a joke. Everyone knew that the important business of the family existed in the imperial capital. At the political center of the empire. While the property in the family area such as farmland, farmers, and taxes? Just send some housekeepers there.

In fact, Dewey got word for sure that he would stay at the family's ancestral home in the rural area of the southern province of Cotte after leaving the Earl's palace. And without a call from the Earl, he would not return to the empire again.

Everyone knows that the heir to the Rollin family has moved from Dewey to his 7-year-old genius sister.
