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

　Professor Cazell couldn't help but smile. Everyone sighed with relief, feeling much more at ease.

　This "oil snake" clearly absorbed the power of the "abyss snake," yet its temperament was surprisingly docile.

　That filthy power seemed to have no effect on it.

　Now, we just need to wait until it becomes a god, and then see if its temperament will change drastically as a result.

　“In that case, you won’t need me anymore,” Ergani said softly.

　Her gaze then fell upon the remains of the "Sun and Moon Serpent".

　The flute music gradually stopped, and Aurora also stopped walking.

　But the "oil snake" had already become very close to it.

　After the flute music stopped, it lowered its head and lay prostrate on the ground beside her.

　The "oil snake's" body is smooth and shiny, with a black sheen flowing around it. When it doesn't secrete that black oil that looks like a pollutant, it appears quite clean and refreshing.

　Aurora tried to stand on tiptoe and touch the snake scales on the side of its head. She found them to be delicate and soft, but a little cool.

　"Suck it-"

　The "oil snake" suddenly extended its tongue and licked her face. Aurora quickly slapped its head away, but her face and body were covered in egg-white-like slime.

　Moreover, the "oil snake" that it swatted away looked at her with a wronged expression.

　"Hehehe." Professor Lily's voice rang out. Aurora's face immediately flushed red.

　Ophelia Brad paused, then cautiously moved closer to her.

　After confirming that the "oil snake" did not show any signs of wariness, she slowly walked to Aurora's other side and handed her a "costume change card".

　After wiping the sticky substance off her face with her sleeve, Aurora quickly activated the "Costume Change Card" and changed into a new outfit.

　Seeing that she had changed her clothes, the "oil snake" immediately realized that its actions had caused bad consequences, so it flicked its tongue and begged for forgiveness.

　Aurora thanked Ophelia and then focused on communicating with the "Oil Serpent".

　Then, at some point, she suddenly found herself able to understand the meaning of "oil snake".

　It wasn't some kind of mental invocation or telepathy. Rather, it had a feeling of "mutual understanding." In the terminology of a mage.

　It is the precursor to the formation of "bonds".

　The deep "bond" is not much different from the contract between a summoner or tamer and their pet.

　However, "bonds" are a product of mutual commitment, and are more useful than various coercive contracts.

　A sufficiently deep "bond" may even evolve into a special ability.

　For example, the life-sharing between Principal Art and her nine elves is actually an enhanced ability of "bond".

　Dark's use of "bonds" to transmit mental power and assist the magical spirits in their complete evolution is also a kind of sublimation.

　However, his current bond ability is still in its nascent stage. In the future, it may evolve into the special ability of "Bond Evolution."

　Aurora's ability to form a bond with the "Oil Snake" so quickly was largely due to the "Snake Driver" Spera.

　Aurora's conversation with the "Oil Serpent" lasted for half an hour. During this time, Dark and the others remained nearby to observe and prevent any unexpected incidents.

　But overall, the situation is developing in a positive direction.

　Aurora also conveyed the "Oil Snake's" plea—it was hungry! Professor Sylph immediately offered to provide plenty of meat.

　But she quickly retreated with a strange expression.

　Because Aurora told her that this "oil snake" was a herbivore—in Spera's memory, it could even gnaw on tree bark with relish.

　"With such a large size, it must eat a whole tree for one meal. Maybe I should go to the forest and pull one out for it," Professor Lily said cheerfully.

　The "oil snake" itself is not lacking in energy; it just wants to fill its belly.

　Aurora said somewhat awkwardly, "Let's talk about it next time. I'll try to coax it to sleep. It doesn't cultivate on its own; its actions of absorbing and digesting energy are all done unconsciously while it's asleep. It needs a long period of sleep."

　Lily immediately said, "Then I'll go pick out a delicious tree and bring it back tomorrow night. Do you think it will be able to dance on my command after I feed it?"

　Aurora said, "Let's try it tomorrow, it's very gentle."

　Aurora played the "Snake Summoning Flute" again, but this time it was a "lullaby".

　The "oil snake" was like a baby falling asleep to a lullaby, and soon it was fast asleep, with the circulation of the sun and moon's energy automatically starting between its nostrils.

　Aurora breathed a sigh of relief and retreated back into the crowd.

　Professor Kazel walked over and only retreated after confirming that the "Oil Serpent" was indeed asleep.

　The professors relaxed and chatted quietly as they made their way into the egg-shaped space next door.

　After moving to a different location, the professors' voices gradually grew louder. They began to show concern for Aurora's level of "magic theory," with Professor Sylph even suggesting that Professor Bo Zhong offer her a crash course in "magical language."

　This suggestion suddenly reminded Dark that his fifth-grade "magical language" tutoring class had not yet started.

　But Professor Hoddle Bode is keeping an eye on Archbishop Caleb Norris, so he probably won't have time.

Chapter 897 [Paradise: Drinking Milk] (4k)

　Of course, the professors didn't actually help Aurora develop any courses, nor did they have the time to tutor her.

　If Aurora were to actually go to the Mountain of the Gods, she certainly wouldn't be able to protect herself on her own. Even if she tries to find a way to protect herself now, it will be to no avail.

　But they have indeed begun to consider how to protect Aurora in dangerous situations—which is absolutely necessary.

　But right now, there wasn't much time to think about those things. After that, they only stayed at the bottom of the lake for about ten more minutes before quickly leaving.

　Tonight is another busy night.

　And the same applies to Darko Dimon.

　After leaving the lakebed, Dark activated the "Hidden Feather" barrier and walked into the castle with Aurora.

　The moonlight was bright and the starry sky was like a painting. The two of them strolled under the moon, creating a rather picturesque scene.

　Unfortunately, both of them were thinking about other things at the time.

　Dark was thinking about how to conduct the experiment after he returned.

　Aurora, on the other hand, was thinking about how to improve her relationship with "Oil Snake".

　Their casual conversation mostly revolved around late-night snacks. It wasn't that Dark had any particular craving for food; rather, he hoped Aurora wouldn't waste her time on such trivial matters.

　Although Aurora is unlikely to make any major breakthroughs in this short period, Dark believes that having more resources increases the chances of survival in times of crisis.

　If we're going on an expedition this time, it's definitely not some spring outing.

　The place where even Principal Arte could be trapped is terrifyingly dangerous.

　Aurora has always been very sensible, and this time she readily agreed as well.

　The two quickly entered the castle and then parted ways in a secluded place.

　Aurora is going to the library.

　Dark put away the "Hair of Concealment" and went straight back to the tower of the House of Nobles.

　But just as he was about to reach the tower, he suddenly stopped and said to the shadow on the long, straight wall, "Come out."

　Without warning, Eve emerged from the shadows.

　From the shadows on the other side, "Scorpio" Chris also slowly walked out.

　Dark asked, "Is there something your mother wants to convey?"

　Eve approached Dark and whispered, "Yes. His Excellency the Duke asked us to convey a message to you."

　Dark said, "What did you say?"

　Eve hesitated slightly, but still said, "Your Grace, I hope you will not continue to get involved in the principal's affairs, especially not to go to the Mountain of the Gods."

　Dark sighed, thinking to himself, "As expected," and then said, "Then tell her back, I know what I'm doing."

　Eve bowed her head and said, "Yes, young master." Dark turned around and said, "And you, Chris?"

　Chris crossed her arms and said in a deep voice, "The Mountain of the Gods is too dangerous. I cannot guarantee that I can protect the young master."

　Dark shook his head and said, "Are you sure I'll go?" Chris whispered, "If you don't go, that's for the best."

　Dark smiled and said, "I told you, I know what I'm doing." Then he waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to say, go back now. I have things to do tonight."

　Chris said, "Someone will be delivering new 'Root Divinity' this weekend."

　Dak perked up and asked, "How many?"

　Chris said, "There have been new discoveries recently. Including the portion that has already been absorbed, the total should reach 10%."

　Dark said, "So you've collected one-tenth so quickly? It seems that Moon Soul's ascension to godhood is just around the corner."

　Chris said, "The household will do everything in its power for this." Dark waved his hand again and said, "I look forward to it."

　Chris whispered, "Good night, young master."

　Before she finished speaking, she had already sunk into the shadows and disappeared silently.

　"Then I'll also... Goodnight, young master." Eve also chose to leave.

　Dak shook his head and continued on his way.

　Arvit's message was not unexpected; no parent would sit idly by and watch their child go to a dangerous place, especially one as perilous as this one.

　But he is no longer an infant nestled in his parents' arms. He is very clear about what he should and shouldn't do, what he can and cannot do.

　On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised by the "original divinity" of the "Moon Goddess". It was just a pity that the timing of Principal Arte's accident was not good.

　If he had another year, he might have already possessed his own "true god".

　With that thought in mind, Dak pushed open the door of the Noble House tower and entered the common lounge.

　The common lounge was as lively as ever.

　Girls like to drink tea and chat here, while boys like to play chess or simulated duels.

　But Dak, as was his habit, looked around and found that all the second-year boys had disappeared.

　He was immediately delighted, and a wide smile spread across his face. "It seems that Duolong and the others are treating their guests very well."

　Although Evan Pearson wasn't there, he still found joy.

　"I also hope that Duolong and the others can learn more from the 'Holy Son'!"

　Dak quickened his pace, hurried through the common room, and then quickly went upstairs, soon returning to his dormitory.

　He bent down and casually picked up the catnip that pounced on him. Then, as Sylveon extended its ribbon tentacles, he tucked the catnip onto one of its tentacles.

　Sylveon froze, then picked up the cat grass with a stiff expression.

　Dak continued walking forward, putting down all the items he was carrying, and then poured himself a glass of apple juice to refresh himself.

　And then, it's time for the main event of the night!

　After so many days of hard work, he finally overcame the most critical challenge in the task of transforming "ultimate move cards" into "magic cards".

　If tonight's experiment goes smoothly enough, he might soon obtain his first "magic card" centered on the power of "Elysium"!

　In fact, converting a "special move card" into a "magic card" only requires doing one thing.

　The activation source for a "Special Move Card" must be the magic power of a magical spirit capable of using that special move.

　The activation source for "magic cards" can be the magic power of the mage and the magical spirits they create.

　To transform a "Special Move Card" into a "Magic Card," that is, to transform a "Special Move" into a "Magic Card" that can be used by a mage and all the magical spirits they create.

　A little thought reveals that the scope of this problem is so vast that even Professor Cazell struggled to solve it.

　However, based on his own special circumstances, Dark devised a compromise solution.

　He selected a special finishing move from the "finishing move card" that contained the element of "great sin". This finishing move does not rely on the magic power of the magic spirit, but is driven by the great sin power of the magic spirit.

　The most typical examples are various Sin-themed field cards and various Sin-themed versions of "Round Eye".

　Miltank's special move "Drink Milk" has a very obvious "bliss" characteristic, and it is the exclusive special move of Miltank, one of the Bliss Magical Spirits.

　Based on this.

　Dark transformed the activation source of "Special Move? Drink Milk" from Miltank's magic to Miltank's Elysium Power, and then further transformed it into "Elysium Power".

　What is ultimately formed is a "ultimate skill card" that can be driven by the "power of bliss".
