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

　As for using the "Emerald Holy Sword" to feed the scabbard, at least for now, Dark was still somewhat reluctant. He thought quickly.

　What they are doing now is ultimately aimed at rescuing Principal Arte from the Mountain of the Gods.

　If he wants to participate, he must maximize his abilities. Otherwise, he can only remain an observer, watching the professors take the risks.

　At this point, Dark was no longer thinking about the "Golden Cup".

　Compared to Principal Arte's matter, the "Golden Cup" is utterly insignificant.

　Professor Sylph acted swiftly.

　With Professor Kazel's assistance, she catalyzed the formation of the herb-type elemental seed in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

　The grass-like elements that had been slowly gathering from all sides were once again completely absorbed by the Seed of Elements.

　Dark green seeds floated in the air, and fresh green shoots broke through the shell from the tips of the seeds. They trembled playfully twice, and then suddenly showed great explosive power, growing twenty centimeters taller in an instant. The light at the tips of the seeds kept flashing, and a small white flower with a faint green glow bloomed!

　These small white flowers, which at first glance appear to be everywhere, actually exude an extremely vigorous vitality.

　Moreover, a very faint trace of divinity is hidden within it!

　Dark suddenly focused his mind, golden light blazing in his eyes, activating the (Eye of Truth).

　Matter possessing divine qualities usually possesses considerable value. This little white flower is no exception.

　But while observing, Dak's eyelids kept twitching.

　From the perspective of the "Eye of Truth," the value of these white flowers was actually higher than that of the long dress itself!

　This is theoretically impossible.

　It's illogical that a long dress that can make small white flowers is cheaper than small white flowers themselves.

　However, the facts are right before our eyes, and there is no room for falsehood.

　Dark looked at Professor Cazell with barely concealed surprise, only to find that he also had the same expression.

　However, unlike Darke, Professor Cazell's expression also concealed an uncertain surprise.

　“This flower, could it be…” Professor Kazel became visibly excited.

　Professors Sylph and Mydia listened intently. Professor Cazell finally revealed the flower's name: "Could it be the legendary Flower of Demeter?"

　Demeter

　In Dark's original world, she was the goddess of agriculture, grain, and harvest, one of the twelve Olympian gods.

　In this world, he would be the "god of agriculture" among the twelve gods of Poropus!

　Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, is in charge of many powers, including plants, harvests, the earth, and life. She is a compassionate and benevolent goddess.

　And the "Flower of Demeter" is naturally one of its symbols.

　The "Flower of Demeter" has only light green stamens, which gradually fade towards the petals, eventually becoming completely white. Calling it a "little white flower" is not entirely accurate.

　Its appearance is not unusual; Professor Cazell guessed its species based on a number of factors.

　Dark's understanding of the "Flower of Demeter" was limited to one thing: the "Flower of Demeter" could alter the environment!

　The God of Agriculture planted the seeds of the Flower of Demeter in the desolate desert, causing the elemental flowers to bloom throughout the desert and instantly transforming it into a vast oasis with a suitable climate.

　This is a legend that has existed for a long time.

　In addition, Demeter is the most worshipped deity of the Elves besides Artemis, the goddess of the hunt.

　Therefore, when Professor Cazell called out the name "Flower of Demeter," some mysteries were suddenly solved, while at the same time, new mysteries were added.

　Professor Sylph hesitated, "Can this Demeter flower purify pollutants?"

　This is a question that everyone has.

　But after a brief moment of surprise, Professor Kazel said regretfully, "The Flower of Demeter is certainly better than ordinary purification magic. But the legendary 'Heavenly Court' is said to be filled with the Flower of Demeter. If it had a purifying effect on high concentrations of pollutants, the 'Heavenly Court' wouldn't be contaminated. This completely contradicts our previous deduction."

　Professor Sylph frowned and said, "Then why would Cynthia give us this dress? It couldn't have been a coincidence, could it?"

　This guess caused an awkward silence to fall over everyone. "Probably not," Professor Mitya said, sounding somewhat uncertain. She still didn't quite understand Principal Art.

　Professor Cazell, as if to bolster his confidence, quickly said, "In short, since Principal Arte entrusted these items to us, she must have a purpose. Even if the Flower of Demeter cannot completely purify high concentrations of pollutants, purifying small amounts shouldn't be a problem. It might even help us make our initial entry into the 'Heavenly Court.'"

　Professor Sylph took a breath and said, "I understand. I'll try again and see how many Demeter Flowers I can make."

　Professor Sylph's experiment was completed quickly.

　The final result was a room full of Demeter's flowers!

　Professor Sylph is not only able to continuously produce "seeds of elements" without interruption, but also to produce a large number of "seeds of elements" at once, and then catalyze them at the same time.

　Moreover, once she got used to it, she was able to cultivate it into the Demeter Flower at an increasingly rapid pace.

　Throughout the entire process, there was almost no consumption of energy other than magic. In the end, Professor Sylph also swallowed the long dress and the thorn wreath, allowing Dark, who was "male," to try them out.

　It turns out that the long dress and floral wreath are exclusively for women. That's probably its only limitation.

　However, after that, Dark obtained a whole jar of Grass Element Seeds from Professor Sylph!

　“Let’s call this dress ‘Demeter’s Dress’,” Professor Sylph finally named the dress.

　Then she added, "The emblem on the skirt is most likely the emblem of Demeter... Although it differs slightly from the known emblem of Demeter, it can only be considered a transmission error caused by the passage of time."

　Professor Cazell said, "Then what about the hair found on the skirt?" Professor Sylph shook her head and said, "Although I hope it was Demeter's hair, it seems unlikely."

　After all, the dress was too plain before the lockdown was lifted, and it didn't look like the attire of a deity.

　Dark said, "In that case, I will tell Aurora and the others about this."

　Professor Sylph said, "Go."

　Dark put on the jar filled with grass-type elemental seeds and quickly left the secluded place.

　He left the scabbard in the laboratory.

　When he arrived at the castle gate, it was nearly ten o'clock.

　Turning around, the open-air dueling arena was bustling with activity; the students of the academy must be enjoying the excitement of the preliminary rounds.

　I just don't know if Duolong and the others made it in time.

　Oh, and that "holy child" who got drunk...

　It just so happens to be the Easter Duel Festival, and given Evan Pearson's personality, he'll definitely want to participate.

　Of course, the group he most wanted to participate in was the senior group.

　However, the rules of the Easter Duel Festival are very clear: if he really wants to participate, he can only show off in the lower grades.

　However, given his special status, the other contestants will likely gang up on him, and it's uncertain whether he can withstand it.

　Dark shook his head slightly, entered the castle, and soon arrived at the library. The library was almost empty at this time; only Aurora and her two companions, along with Dark's magical spirits, were in the reading room.

　The arrival of the magical spirits undoubtedly accelerated the progress significantly, and several tables were piled high with books.

　Just as Dark was about to speak up, Diana, upon spotting him, lit up and rushed over.

　"Dak-dak, we found it!"

Chapter 891 [Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month] God of War and Destruction (4k)

　"We've found the origin of the pattern on the scabbard, or perhaps it's the emblem of Demeter."

　Thinking this to himself, Dak blurted it out.

　Diana stopped abruptly as she ran up to him, asking in confusion, "What Demeter?"

　As Dak continued walking inside, he said, "Demeter, the 'goddess of agriculture,' haven't you investigated the twelve gods of Poropus?"

　“Hey.” Diana stuck out her tongue and said, “I didn’t hear you right away. Anyway, come here quickly, we’ve found a lot of things.”

　"Isn't that Demeter's emblem? That must be the origin of the scabbard's pattern," Dark thought to himself, following Diana over. "It would be good to find the origin of the scabbard's pattern; at least we could know whose weapon that scabbard belonged to, and whether there was originally a sword inside."

　Having a sheath but no sword is inherently illogical.

　If this scabbard is indeed paired with a sword, then the sword that can be paired with it may be an existence of a higher level than the "Holy Sword"!

　After a while, Dak, led by Diana, walked to a table.

　Aurora and Rose were both sitting around the table.

　A thick stack of books was placed on one corner of the table, while three books were open in the middle.

　"Any good news?" Dark asked as he walked up to Aurora.

　Aurora looked up, about to speak, when Weibu, who was standing on the chair next to her, crossed her arms and gave a slight snort.

　Aurora quickly said, "Two of these three books were found by Yao'er, so we should thank him properly."

　"Well done!" Dark reached out and ruffled Bu'er's hair, then chuckled, "What about the other one?"

　Aurora said, "The other one was found by Miss Destroyer." "【Fantasy Beasts: Destroyer】Where is it?" Dark asked. Aurora said, "It went inside again with Miss Goddess of the Mind's Eye to continue searching."

　Dark nodded slightly, then looked at the three books on the table and asked, "What are these three books about?"

　Aurora said, "Two books are about the patterns on sword scabbards, and the other is about the divine emblems on clothing. By the way, have you made any new discoveries?"

　“Of course,” Dark said. “That garment should be related to Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, one of the twelve Olympian gods.”

　“Demeter, wait a minute.” Aurora turned around and pulled a book from the pile of books on the table behind her.

　Book Title: Praise the Earth Mother Goddess, Who Grants Abundance

　Aurora said, "There's a book here that's about Demeter. You can take a look at it later."

　“Okay.” Dark nodded in agreement, but a hint of doubt crept into his mind.

　He clearly mentioned that the garment was related to Demeter, so why did Aurora show no reaction?

　So he asked, "Which one is related to the divine emblem on the clothing?" Diana immediately pointed to a book and said, "This one!"

　Dak picked up the book from the table and immediately saw a pattern depicted on the open page—the same pattern as the divine emblem on the garment!

　"This……"

　He immediately turned the book to the cover, only to see that it clearly read – "The Elf: The Lost Art".

　That's right, this is just a book that records various artistic items of the Elven race that are about to be lost.

　Judging from the title alone, it has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called divine emblem.

　Logically speaking, it's impossible to search through countless books just to find a divine emblem.

　But now, this book has indeed been found.

　Dark turned back to the page and continued reading the description of the divine emblem.

　A moment later, he put down the book, filled with doubt.

　Although the illustrations on the book are exactly the same as the divine emblem, there is not a single word about "gods" in the content, let alone Demeter, the "goddess of agriculture".

　It is described in the book as the family crest left behind by an ancient, extinct elven race.

　Although this description has no direct relation to Demeter.

　However, considering that Demeter is the most worshipped deity by the Elves besides the "Goddess of the Hunt," it doesn't seem out of place if some ancient Elven groups used her as their family crest.

　But this couldn't mask the unease that was growing within Dak. To dispel this unease, he picked up the book, "Praise the Earth Mother, the Goddess of Abundance," and quickly flipped through it.

　Demeter's authority includes the earth and life, and she is a deity with distinctly feminine characteristics. Therefore, she has also been referred to as the "Mother Earth Goddess" at times.

　Once the book is opened, it is filled with numerous words of praise for Demeter.

　The rest of the content consists mainly of legends and stories passed down from Demeter, which are naturally all positive stories.

　Until you turn to the last page.

　Dark finally found what he was looking for—"Demeter's emblem"!

　"Sure enough, they don't resemble each other at all."

　"In this case, it is indeed hard to believe that it is a record error caused by the passage of time."

　"On the contrary, the account in 'The Elf: The Lost Art' feels more reliable."

　"So, assuming the account in 'Elves: The Lost Art' is correct, is the emblem on that garment actually of the ancient elves, and not the 'Demeter's emblem'? Was that long dress made by the ancient elves?"

　"So, are the elves spying around the Mountain of the Gods related to this?"

　A variety of thoughts flashed through Dark's mind. "Dark, what are you thinking about?" Aurora asked, looking up at him.
