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

　The "Moon Chariot" sped through the clouds.

　Dak leaned back in his seat, watching the sun and clouds flash by outside the opposite car window, sorting out his thoughts.

　For this trip, he chose "Shamy", "Devimon", "Adventure Bird" and "Luna Soul 2" as his companions.

　The first two do not require his magical support and can exist for a long time. The "Adventure Bird," however, is essential for entering orc territory. After all, orcs speak many dialects, and he needs such a translator.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess 2i" is attached to him so that he can "evolve" at any time.

　Although he had already awakened four chakras, his strength was still far from enough in the face of truly powerful individuals, and his own martial prowess remained a weakness for the archmage.

　Therefore, the possession by "Moon God's Soul 2i" is still very necessary. Of course, he also carries "Fairy Puppet" with him at all times, so there are no problems with his safety.

　Counting down further, he also possesses a wisp of "Wind Spirit's Blessing." However, after reuniting with Emma, ​​he will temporarily place the "Wind Spirit's Blessing" on Emma to provide her with an additional layer of protection.

　With "Shemi" and "the Soul of the Moon," there's no way things will go wrong.

　Dark frowned slightly; he found himself still feeling a little uneasy.

　Even though he has already crossed the "Heavenly Court", he still has security anxieties.

　"It's probably just because it's the first time they've gone out on an adventure without an adult. They'll get used to it after a few more times."

　Dak thought for a moment, then took out a photocopy and began to write and draw on it. The forging of the "Sacred Weapon Spell".

　The secondary transmutation of "Agumon" and "Gabumon". Also, the writing of "Mathematics 3".

　He still has a lot of things to do, and he really doesn't have time to worry about them.

　Half past one in the afternoon.

　The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" landed a short distance outside Phoenix City, then concealed its aura, transforming into a regular luxury carriage, and slowly drove towards the city gate.

　The journey was smooth and unimpeded. Dak soon entered Phoenix City.

　At the city gate of Phoenix City stands a huge stone phoenix sculpture. Inside, phoenix totems can be seen everywhere.

　This is a city with its own beliefs, but they are different from religious beliefs; they regard the phoenix as a beautiful symbol.

　Legend has it that Phoenix City was once a desolate place filled with poisonous fog.

　Later, an immortal phoenix descended from the sky, burning that desolate land to ashes and also burning away all the poisonous fog.

　Decades later, new shoots sprouted on the scorched earth, new life was born, and it gradually developed and prospered.

　Humans who fled here during years of famine and war suddenly discovered this resource-rich land, and regarded it as a gift from a divine bird, and subsequently settled here.

　Later, people established Phoenix Town, adopted the phoenix as a totem, and erected a huge phoenix statue in the city center.

　The phoenix statue's wings were broken during the process of Phoenix Town becoming Phoenix City.

　However, the people of Phoenix did not restore it, but instead regarded it as a symbol of "unyielding spirit".

　This is a very vibrant city, and many famous people have emerged from it.

　Dak stepped out of the carriage, walked on the platform, and then placed the "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit" on his lap, pretending to be the driver.

　After all, a pink plush rabbit driving a car is a bit too conspicuous.

　He can temporarily act as a driver, which will save a lot of trouble.

　"Emma's address... 32 Suzaku Street, located in the west of the city."

　Duck determined the direction and, following the road signs, drove westward into the city.

　Phoenix City is a thriving commercial center, specializing in fire-attribute magic stones. Magisters established factories here and developed a large number of everyday items that require the use of "fire," which subsequently became Phoenix City's specialty.

　Dak traveled around, looking at things and buying whatever he liked, especially food and drinks.

　Soon after, he finally entered Suzaku Street, and the carriage was filled with bags and packages.

　Aside from some food, most of the items were gifts. Offering a gift upon first meeting always makes a good impression. Dak turned to look at the house numbers on both sides of the street and suddenly saw a familiar face.

　He clicked his tongue in annoyance and prepared to speed up. But Robert's booming voice rang out before he could escape: "Hey, isn't that Dark?"

　Then Dark felt a blast of hot air hit his face, and Robert Broheim had already run over.

　He knew, of course, that Robert and Emma lived in the same city. But nobody told him that they also lived on the same street!

　"We need to find a way to get rid of him!"

　The idea flashed through Dak's mind in an instant.

　But Robert was already shouting enthusiastically, "Dark, what brings you here? Have you run into Victor? He's been on vacation for ten days, I wonder how he's doing. By the way, are you here for tourism? Phoenix City does have quite a few places worth visiting. If you need... no, let me be your guide! If you haven't booked a hotel, you can stay at my place. Haha, this is the first time a classmate has come to my house, my old man will be overjoyed. You know, he always slanders me for not having any friends at school, now, I'm going to slap him in the face!"

　"You brat, whose face are you slapping?" A burly man suddenly appeared in front of the carriage, forcing it to stop.

　The burly man glared at Robert, then turned and said warmly, "This gentleman, could he be my son's classmate?"

Chapter 1083 Darkdemon - Everyone's Favorite (10,000-word update, please vote!)

　string (32369) "

　Ronald Broheim, Robert's father, participated in the war against the demons and returned to his hometown after the war, where he served as an officer.

　From the outside, he and Robert are almost identical, even their tone of voice is exactly the same, which makes him a little... well, not so reliable.

　However, Dark doesn't particularly dislike people who talk faster than they think.

　He stopped the carriage, got off, and said to Ronald, "Uncle, hello, I'm Robert's classmate."

　He hadn't intended to reveal his identity, but the gossipy Robert excitedly exclaimed, "Dad, this is the Valkyrie's son! Just call him Dark!" Dark scratched his head helplessly, then saw Ronald looking puzzled. "The Valkyrie's child? Didn't you say your friend was the son of the hero Black?"

　Robert's face stiffened, and he quickly explained, "This is also my friend! You don't think your son has only one friend after two years at the academy, do you?"

　Ronald chuckled and said to Dark, "Little Dark, you didn't come here to see my stupid son, did you? If it's something important, we won't keep you any longer."

　To retract my earlier statement, there are indeed some differences between the old father and the foolish son.

　Dark smiled slightly and said politely, "Although it was just a chance encounter, it shouldn't be considered a delay. However, I do have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

　"Since you're already here, why don't you come and sit at our house?" Robert instinctively tried to persuade him to stay, but his father immediately locked him in a chokehold.

　Dark raised his hand, pointed ahead, and said, "I'm here to see Emma."

　"The little girl from the Metis family," Ronald paused for a moment, then realized, "That's right, you're classmates too."

　Then he kicked Robert in the backside and said, "Go, lead the way."

　“Give me some face,” Robert complained, rubbing his backside, and then said to Dark, “As for Emma, ​​I saw her go to the city library this morning, I don’t know if she’s come back… but I can take you to her house first, Aunt Selma should be inside.”

　Dark nodded and said, "Thanks."

　Robert said, "No need to thank me, we've exchanged Christmas presents, haven't we?"

　Dark paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true. Please lead the way."

　“Follow me.” Robert glanced at the “Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit” driving the car and then walked forward.

　His father took two steps back and looked at the little rabbit who had taken over from Dak and was driving the car, his eyes showing surprise.

　Even though his son is already a mage with two years of training, why do they always seem to be from completely different styles?

　However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and what he, as a father, is best at is "letting go".

　After Ronald stepped back, he crossed his arms and watched Robert lead the way with a kind smile on his face.

　After putting some distance between himself and Ronald, Robert's eyes darted around, and he asked mysteriously, "Hey, Dark, why are you looking for Emma? Is the rumor true? Is there something between you two...?"

　"Rumors?" Dark frowned, a sudden bad feeling creeping over him. "What rumors?"

　Robert chuckled, then looked away and said, "It's that rumor. Of course, I don't believe it. After all, you're into older men."

　"What kind of rumor is this about 'older man fetish'?" Dark couldn't help but think to himself.

　He likes the female senior, not because she's older than him, but because he's a psychologically normal man, okay?

　However, Robert Broheim is surprisingly gossipy.

　But thinking about it carefully, what else can Robert do all day long besides gossip?

　Should we try to find him something to do?

　I heard that Doron is quite lonely in the Dragon Claw Knights' training camp. He spends his mornings in the Knights' training camp and his evenings at home taking magic classes.

　Doron's holiday was fulfilling, but it was a bit lacking. Let's give him some extra food!

　Robert Broheim never expected that his careless remark would have such consequences.

　Of course, what would cause him great pain is actually a wonderful thing.

　Dark's actions were purely coincidental; he acted on a whim. After all, if Robert continued like this, he would become a major hindrance. This was evident in the dungeon battles; whatever Witt Gold did, he always included Robert.

　If we don't give him a hand now, he might become a liability that drags down the entire team in the future.

　The world is changing too fast these days; the whole era is like a wild horse galloping at breakneck speed, leaving him no time to grow slowly.

　Whenever Dark thinks about the plot, he can't say for sure what the future will be like.

　All he knew was the plot of the gods' resurrection. In the original game, this wasn't even on the agenda until they graduated from sixth grade.

　However, in the original storyline, there was no such super-powerful cheat as the "God of Wisdom".

　Now, as if to adapt to the rapidly evolving plot, the main characters of St. Marian Academy are all speeding up, except for Robert, who is still standing still.

　Meeting Robert on Suzaku Street today might be some kind of revelation. Dark couldn't help but ponder this; he had recently noticed a gradual strengthening of his divination talent, and occasionally he would have some vague premonitions, but when it came to divination...

　"I feel like something's been overlooked."

　"Dark, Dark, this way," Robert stopped and waved. Dark quickly looked up and led the carriage after them.

　Robert's home address is 03 Suzaku Street, and you need to make two turns to get to 32 Suzaku Street.

　Robert ran ahead to the door of 32 Suzaku Street, and the "Lunar Chariot" slowly followed, gradually coming to a stop in front of the building.

　The "Lunar Chariot," pulled by two black unicorns, is actually quite eye-catching in appearance.

　As the carriage traveled along, the residents on both sides of the street couldn't help but crane their necks to look. If it weren't for Robert leading the way, they would have been wary of being outsiders.

　Dark walked up the steps, glanced at the mailbox by the door, and noticed a rolled-up newspaper sticking out; it appeared to be the Daily Joker.

　Is Emma reading this newspaper too, or is it her family?

　Dak looked back at the main gate, where the nameplate was engraved with the surname "Metis".

　The surname Metis is quite rare, so it's almost certainly true. Dak thought for a moment, then raised his hand to knock on the door.

　After a while, the sound of wooden planks moving came from inside the door—someone inside must have pushed aside the wooden planks covering the peephole.

　So Dak moved aside slightly, revealing Robert's face.

　Sure enough, a short while later, someone opened the door, and the first thing that came into view was a mature face that resembled Emma's; it was clearly her mother.

　Dark had read her information and knew that her name was Selma, that she took her husband's surname Metis, and that she had been one of the disciples of the "Sage of Mystery" for a long time.

　However, the "Sage of Mystery" has so many students that the prestige of being his disciple has plummeted.

　Among the students of the "Sage of Mystery," only those who have received the "Mysterious Qi" are considered "personally taught," making their status highly prestigious.

　Selma isn't, but Emma is.

　"Isn't this Ronald's son?" Selma said, but her eyes were fixed on Dark.

　Although Dak had changed into casual clothes, his charisma was still striking. Just standing there, he seemed to be radiating light, drawing people in irresistibly.

　“Aunt Selma,” Robert said. “Is Emma home?” Selma replied, “She came looking for Emma; she should be back soon. And this is…”

　“This is Dark Dimon,” Robert quickly introduced. “My classmate, and also Emma’s classmate.”

　"Dark...Dimon," Selma's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively stood up straight. "That Damon from the royal capital."

　Robert said, "Didn't Emma tell you that there's only one Dimon in second grade?"

　Selma immediately recognized Dark's identity and quickly opened the door wide, saying, "Oh, it's Emma's classmate. Please come in and have a seat. What brings you here to see Emma?"

　Dark stood outside, not going in: "Emma, ​​didn't I tell you?"

　Selma said, "That child likes to read alone and rarely talks to me about things at the academy. Could she have done something wrong there?"

　“No, she’s fine.” Darke narrowed his eyes, realizing that things were not so simple.

　Emma didn't seem to have told her parents she was going on a long trip. "Looks like the first hurdle of 'Adventures in the Golden Kingdom' has appeared! And this mother in front of me is the first boss!"

　Dark didn't stay outside the door any longer; instead, he followed Selma into the living room.

　From the entryway to the living room, the homeowner's taste was evident. Emma's home perfectly matched Dak's concept of a "scholarly family." Selma invited him and Robert to sit down, brought out tea and refreshments, and then chatted with Dak.
