The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Anna and Angie began to boast about their "perfect performance" at the masquerade ball, completely unaware that the princess's face was growing increasingly dark.

　Seeing that the second princess was about to explode, Eliza quickly stepped forward to calm her down, which allowed the "family dinner" to come to a smooth end.

　In the end, the parents asked Pandora and Dark to take care of their children, urging them to learn from Aurora and strive to be like Pandora and Dark.

　……

　After the "family dinner" ended with everyone still feeling a bit unsatisfied, Dak led the way through the night market on Traveler's Street, beginning the second half of the trip without parents.

　Anna and Angie quietly slipped away halfway through.

　Jon and Joey obediently followed behind Dark.

　Pandora and Diana raided the food stalls together.

　Rose and Aurora were talking quietly together.

　Dark was suddenly surrounded by magical elves.

　Hephaestus and Olivia walked at the very back, watching the children walk further and further away.

　The Christmas bells rang amidst the fireworks.

　……

　Life is so wonderful, what more could one ask for?

Chapter 755 Heading West (4k)

　The next day.

　December 26th.

　Thursday.

　morning.

　As the orange winter sunlight streamed into the room, Dak was already fully prepared.

　He then reinjected the "Moon Goddess Version of Elysium" he had taken out into the "Moon Goddess Mirror" of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　Then seal the remaining "great sins" in a high-level mind bottle.

　Then he moved the "Insect Tree" to Rose's dorm room and asked her to take care of the "Rabbit Grass" for the time being.

　Afterwards, the "Bear Bear Grass" was temporarily returned to Diana.

　Pandora picked two cat grasses from the remaining few to keep.

　The remaining cat grass was left to be cared for by two senior students from the club.

　In addition, this also includes the ghost butterflies and brain fluid demons kept in the clubroom...

　As for the little Guhuoniao, Dak was forced to bring it along because it resolutely refused to comply.

　This journey westward is not entirely safe, and Dark knew he had no choice but to leave Agumon or Miltank at the academy.

　Furthermore, as the distance between the mage and the magical spirit becomes too great, the mage can no longer provide magic to the magical spirit.

　Only Victoria and Phoenix were no longer regarded by Dark as magical elves.

　So he left Victoria at the academy, ordering her to finish the entire math workbook before he returned.

　So Victoria, whose mind was full of thoughts about going on holiday trips, was swallowed up by the abyss of mathematics.

　……

　After settling all his affairs—which seemed rather ominous—Dark placed the basic tools, materials, and some portable advanced materials, including the Magic Brain Dropper and Mind Bottle, into a briefcase-sized experimental toolbox.

　Then he put his toiletries, adventure essentials, two sets of clothes, "The Golden Sheep and the Golden Dog" and the Demon King's information book into his backpack.

　A toolbox and a backpack were all his belongings.

　After repeatedly making sure everything was correct, Dak put on casual clothes, fastened his cardholder, and donned the thermal three-piece set that Yarvit had given him. He then patted his cheeks vigorously in front of the mirror to calm his excitement.

　Finally, he picked up the "Jade Holy Sword" with its custom-made scabbard, tucked it into his waistband, patted it, and smiled with satisfaction.

　"He looks like an adventurer now!"

　Thinking this, he picked up the little Guhuoniao and went out.

　They agreed to meet at the cafeteria.

　"嘤嘤嘤——"

　Little Guhuoniao sat smugly in Dark's lap, fully enjoying the sweet fruits of victory in the struggle.

　"It's time to lose weight."

　Dak pinched its cheek and said with a hint of helplessness.

　"嘤嘤嘤!"

　Little Guhuo Bird shook its head vigorously.

　"Little meatball!"

　Thanks to the "Book of Animal Language" that Rose sent him, Dark has been able to vaguely understand some of the languages ​​of birds and beasts.

　Although the Book of Beast Language looks like a book that teaches the language of beasts, it is actually a kind of telepathic magic. It allows magicians to gradually understand the language of beasts by sensing the thoughts of bird-beast species.

　Once the magic is mastered, the magician will be able to clearly understand animal language after a long period of time.

　To refute Dark's claim, Little Bird is vigorously promoting her physique, stating that she has a "can eat whatever she wants and never gain weight" constitution.

　However, its chubby little appearance is hardly convincing.

　However, Dark knew perfectly well that although her true form had become a ball, the little Guhuoniao, after shedding her feathers and transforming into human form, was still a slender and delicate young girl.

　In this sense, it really won't make you fat.

　Dark didn't want to argue with it any longer, so he placed it on the "Magnemite" that was floating to the side.

　Although the little bird can already fly, it clearly prefers to "sit on its throne," and after meeting the "Magnemite" a couple of days ago, this golem has become its throne...

　"Hula-"

　"Devimon" flew back from the window and landed skillfully on Dark's shoulder.

　Dak raised his hand and patted the tip of its wing, then charged forward without hesitation.

　……

　The atmosphere in the cafeteria was rather quiet on the first morning after Christmas.

　There are clearly not many students who still maintain the habit of waking up early.

　With just a quick glance, one can see that the professor has already arrived at the cafeteria.

　Dak first went to the window to order breakfast, then took his daily copy of the "Great Sage Daily" and the "Clown Daily" before carrying his tray to the table.

　Good morning, Professor Sylph and Professor Jones.

　Good morning, Dark.

　"So early?"

　"got used to."

　Dak smiled and sat down opposite them.

　He then set the newspaper aside, took out the food from the plate one by one, poured the tomato pasta into a bowl, stirred the sauce with a spoon, and placed it in an empty seat.

　The little guhu bird immediately jumped onto the table and began pecking at the tomato pasta.

　Professor Jones exclaimed in surprise, "You, a Guhuoniao (a mythical bird-like creature), can eat noodles?"

　“It’s an omnivore,” Dak said, then took out another piece of bread, spread some on a smear, placed it on a plate, and put it in another empty seat.

　Little Devimon then landed and, standing on one leg, picked up the bread and began to eat.

　"People who feed familiars will be considered freaks," Professor Jones said, unusually making a dry joke.

　Dark smiled, then took a small box from the outer pocket of his backpack, opened it, scooped out a small spoonful of "black pudding," placed it on a small plate, and continued moving towards the other side of Devimon.

　"grumble--"

　The Magnemite emits an electronic sound and descends in front of the dish.

　"Even a golem?" Professor Jones observed the Magnemite with great interest.

　Dark said, "Frozen Magic can charge the golem."

　"Tsk tsk." Professor Jones clicked his tongue, then casually asked, "You also brought a sword?"

　Knowing she had noticed his "Emerald Holy Sword," Dark casually remarked, "Wouldn't carrying a weapon make you look more like an adventurer?"

　"Haha." Professor Jones couldn't help but laugh.

　Thanks probably to bards and novels, many children in this world have a strange longing for adventurers.

　But only those who have been adventurers know that the life of an adventurer is far from the carefree and romantic one that outsiders imagine.

　The vast majority of adventurers are just unemployed bums who live hand to mouth.

　To put it more politely, they are "flexible employment personnel".

　But as long as the children don't actually become adventurers, adults generally won't shatter their dreams.

　Perhaps this is the gentleness of adults.

　Professor Jones said, "The City of Freedom in the west is quickly becoming the largest gathering place for adventurers. I wonder if our destination will require us to cross the City of Freedom."

　Professor Sylph then spoke up, "It's very likely. In any case, let's make the City of Freedom our first stop. We can pay a visit to that 'Sun Warrior' while we're there. Speaking of which, isn't the lord of the City of Freedom also a half-giant?"

　Professor Jones looked at Dark and said, "I heard it's the bloodline of the Sun-Chasing Giants?"

　Dark nodded and said, "Aunt Montilfarie is indeed of the bloodline of the Sunstriders."

　Professor Jones' eyes gleamed with excitement: "If the mission is over, I must find an opportunity to challenge her."

　"Good morning, Professor Jones, Professor Sylph, good morning, Dark."

　Just as Professor Jones was about to raise his fist to show his fighting spirit, Lord Montilfarly's woman came over carrying a tray of food.

　Aurora carried very little luggage, just a pretty and delicate little backpack.

　She pinned the two brooches that Dak had given her together on her chest, but they didn't look quite right.

　She originally only planned to wear one of them, but before leaving the house, she picked and chose, unable to bear to put either one down, so she simply wore both.

　She sat down next to Professor Jones, blushing slightly.

　Although they didn't have much contact, she always felt a sense of warmth towards this tall professor.

　Professor Jones said with great interest, "With Aurora around, the Sun Warriors shouldn't be able to escape, right?"

　“My mother is always brave enough to face any challenge,” Aurora replied instinctively.

　……

　As time passed, the remaining people gradually arrived at the cafeteria.

　About an hour later, all the expedition members had arrived.

　This time, the number of people is very large.

　There are six professors alone, namely:

　Professor Sarah Sylph, Professor Pava Jones, Professor Mitis Bartholomew, Professor Lily Laplace, Professor Steven Harvey, and Sister Carlian.

　Besides professors, there are also:

　Darko Dimon, Aurora Montilfarri, Ori Dimon, Eve, Angry, Ophelia Brad, and Vittor Gold, who is wearing a green hat.

　In total, there were thirteen people.

　Lily chimed in, sounding excited: "Thinking about it, this should be my first mission in all these years I've been at the academy. Shall we give this mission a name?"

　“That’s a good idea,” Professor Steven Harvey said cheerfully.

　The atmosphere among the group was fairly relaxed, and even Ophelia Brad didn't show her worry on her face. Only Wit Gold seemed rather reserved.

　"How was the Journey to the West?" Professor Mitis asked.

　Dak casually remarked, "Why not head west instead?"
