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

　"It's this thing that gave you the courage to attack a mage," Dark said, examining it closely in the moonlight with great interest.

　The bottom of the wine glass is engraved with an unfamiliar rune, which, according to the magician's memory, allows someone with no magical talent to master rudimentary mental spells and enhance them.

　Once the cup is removed, the circus magician will no longer be able to perform hypnosis.

　"Consider this compensation for the mental anguish you caused us by attacking us." Dark sealed the wine glass in a bag, put it in his bag, and then signaled "Soul of the Moon Goddess" to pick up the dazed magician and walk towards the interior of Suzaku Street.

　As he approached the carriage, Emma cautiously peeked out and asked, "How is it?"

　Dark said, "Just one person, happened to see you, and became vengeful. In this world where killing is so common, detective work is indeed too dangerous and can easily bring trouble."

　Fortunately, the magician was too weak and had no companions, so tonight's events should be over.

　Number 03, Suzaku Street. "Bang, bang, bang." Dak knocked on the door.

　After a while, Ronald Broheim opened the door and came out, his eyes wide with surprise.

　Dark gave a brief explanation, and Ronald immediately understood, taking over the case: "Did you find out who helped him escape?"

　Dak said a name.

　Ronald's expression turned slightly serious. He quickly tied the murderer up like a dumpling and then took him to the police station.

　Dak did not want to continue participating, so he declined to join the group.

　Afterwards, he took Emma back to 32 Suzaku Street, arranged to leave at eight o'clock the next morning, and then returned to the hotel room he had booked.

　After entering the room, Dark and Aisha took turns bathing, and then Dark instructed Aisha to activate the "Spiritual Connection Technique" to briefly explain what had happened.

　On the other end of the "telepathic connection" were Ellie and Ms. Jasmine. Neither of them expected that their young master would catch a criminal as soon as he stepped out the door.

　Upon learning this, Ms. Jasmine immediately instructed him to be extremely careful.

　Dak nodded in agreement and then hung up the call.

　Then he sat in bed, facing the moonlight streaming in from the window, and played with the small wine glass.

　“Since it’s a wine glass, it should be used to hold wine.” A thought suddenly came to Dak.

　This wine glass can grant magical talent to someone who knows nothing about magic; what if the holder were a naturally gifted mage or archmage?

　"Bring the wine!"

　Ash bought a bottle of wine from outside and also grabbed a plate. Dak placed the plate on the bed, put the wine glass on it, and poured in the red wine.

　The liquor sank to the bottom, emitting a faint glow on the surface of the glass. Then, the liquor suddenly sank and disappeared in an instant. Dak continued pouring.

　As a result, after the entire bottle of wine was poured in, all the liquid was absorbed, and the wine glass remained unchanged except for emitting a slight red glow.

　But he was pleasantly surprised.

　This means that his method is most likely correct.

　Sure enough, switching to plain water or other teas failed to trigger its ability.

　This cup was definitely a wine glass, but it was unclear how much wine would be needed to fill it. Dak, intrigued, had Aisha buy more wine and pour it in bottle by bottle. But the wine glass seemed to glow with an increasingly bright red light.

　He's got too much money and can do whatever he wants, so he keeps drinking.

　Dark had a flash of inspiration and told Ash to pour the wine into a basin and then put the wine glass in. Sure enough, the effect was the same, and the wine was quickly absorbed.

　However, this increased the pouring speed by more than 10 or 20%. After about half an hour of continuous pouring, the red glow on the glass finally stabilized, and the poured wine never disappeared again.

　Dak retrieved the wine glass and examined it carefully. An extremely strong aroma of wine wafted up and became intoxicating.

　He took a deep breath and even he felt a slight mental lapse.

　But apart from that, it has almost no effect.

　His first thought was that the wine glass had the ability to "refine" the wine into a higher grade of fine wine.

　The aroma of the wine was there, but the wine itself did not come out.

　However, he had an extremely strong premonition that this wine cup would be of great use! "Speaking of wine, there's Dionysus, the 'god of wine.' Could this wine cup be related to Dionysus?"

　Dak made a wild guess, then shook his head in denial, saying that the wine glass contained no divine aura and did not resemble a divine object.

　Of course, there is also the possibility that the conditions were insufficient to lift the seal, or that too much time had eroded its divinity.

　But overall, it's a good product.

　To unexpectedly find treasure on the very first day of your journey is truly a stroke of good fortune. This adventure is undoubtedly blessed with good luck.

　June 12th, 8:00 AM.

　The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" slowly came to a stop in front of No. 32 Suzaku Street. Immediately, the door opened wide, and Emma, ​​surrounded by her parents, walked out, carrying large bags and looking somewhat embarrassed.

　"I already told you, this is an adventure, don't make it sound like a picnic... We'll provide for all our needs..."

　Even as she was being pushed out the door, Emma was still complaining. "Good morning, Aunt Selma."

　Good morning, Uncle George.

　After greeting Emma, ​​Dak took the bundle from her hands and carried it directly onto the carriage.

　Anyway, he has his own transportation, so he doesn't need this little bit of stuff.

　Selma and George immediately looked at Emma with expressions of "look how great he is" and disappointed in her.

　Emma sulked for a moment, then quickly climbed into the carriage. "We're off then," Dark said to Emma's parents. "Go on, be careful," George Metis instructed. Selma also repeatedly emphasized safety first.

　Dak readily agreed and returned to the carriage, this time getting directly into the "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit" to drive.

　Silver flames erupted from the hooves of the unicorn black horse, and it was already in the air with a single step.

　The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" activated its night-travel barrier, causing the chariot to accelerate rapidly and ascend into the sky within seconds.

　The scenery on the ground shrank rapidly; houses became boxes, and people disappeared.

　Once Dak determined the direction, he commanded "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit" to accelerate its flight.

　The Death Desert is far away, and he and Emma have planned a long route. However, if they can bypass the territory of the orc tribes and towns, they will save even more time and reach the Death Desert faster.

　The trip is expected to take nearly two days, because "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit" doesn't need sleep and can travel day and night.

　Dark and Emma will spend two days and one night together in the cramped carriage.

　Dach didn't care; he had his lab notes and could work on them for days and nights without stopping.

　Emma, ​​however, was not bothered by this; she was also someone who could stay up all night reading alone.

　Both of them are experienced in "how to kill time when you're alone." What's more, this time it's just the two of them, so they naturally won't find it boring at all.

　After setting off, Dak took out his wine glass and explained the results of his research from the previous night to Emma in detail.

　Emma picked up the wine glass and examined it for a long time, until a blush appeared on her cheeks, before she quickly returned it to Dark.

　She was a little drunk.

　Just the aroma of the wine is enough to make one drunk. Dak put his glass away.

　Emma looked up and said, "No wonder I saw 'mystical energy' surrounding that magician yesterday."

　The "Mysterious Aura" of the "Sage of Mystery" can guide her to find "secret treasures" that are beneficial to her.

　However, as soon as she gets close to Dark, her perception is disrupted by the dense, cloud-like "mysterious aura" surrounding Dark, preventing her from looking anywhere else.

　Now, with the wine glass in her hand, she could also see the "mysterious aura" floating above it.

　This wine glass is beneficial to her.

　A thought suddenly struck her, and she immediately turned around, took out her notebook from her backpack, and quickly flipped through it.

　A moment later, Emma showed Dark a notebook she had turned to, excitedly saying, "Look at this! I read in one of the books that a wine merchant traveling through the desert encountered the Set beast more than once. Other travelers mentioned in the records only encountered it once at most. This wine merchant, however, encountered it three or four times in a row, thus avoiding several disasters. I thought it was just a coincidence before, but what if it wasn't?"

　Dark frowned slightly as he looked at the notes she had copied down: "So, the Setmon actually has a fondness for alcohol, and we obtained a wine glass that emits an aroma of alcohol before even leaving the house? If that's the case, doesn't it seem like a rather coincidental coincidence?"

　Emma instinctively retorted, "Throughout history, the experiences of those great adventurers have all been full of coincidences. Isn't this a sign of destiny, a premonition that this journey will surely succeed?"

　Emma's words seemed rather far-fetched.

　But upon closer reflection, it makes some sense.

　However, having just experienced a trip to "Heaven," Dark Dimon would not take these so-called "fates" for granted.

　Behind every obvious destiny, there is usually a pen writing its path. Dak prefers to believe that some kind of will has brought this glass into their hands.

　But as Emma said, without this will, how could one find the ruins of the Golden Kingdom that others have searched for millions of years without success?

　In the language of prophets, this means the Golden Kingdom is about to be unearthed! And he and Emma just happened to be there.

　This is what is known as "guidance from fate".

　They traveled at high speed for two consecutive days.

　Duck immersed himself in his research inside the train carriage. When he encountered a bottleneck in one topic, he would switch to another and continue his research until he had an inspiration.

　After repeating this process, he intuitively felt that he had made breakthroughs in the secondary transmutation research of "Agumon" and "Gabumon", only lacking an experiment.

　The research on the "Sacred Weapon Curse" has advanced several more stages and is no longer far from success.

　The expedition will return soon, and the research should be completed in no time.

　What troubled him most was actually writing "Mathematics II". It was truly a tough job.

　Two nights later, the "Moon Goddess Chariot" silently descended into the night and drove into the first oasis on the edge of the Death Desert.

　[I received 24 more monthly votes yesterday, thank you so much! It's a lot I could finish writing in the blink of an eye, but I'm still very grateful. The bounty continues today until midnight.]

Chapter 1085 Darkdemon and the Sand Clan (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

　string (13206) "

　The territory on the edge of the Death Desert is called "Karaha".

　The most numerous orcs in the Karaha Territory are the Karaha Hyenas. The Karaha Hyenas are large in size, with coarse and stiff brown fur, which they usually wear long down their backs like a robe.

　They have extremely keen hearing, able to hear the wind from very far away; a keen sense of smell; a sharp perception of moisture; and are heat- and drought-resistant.

　The Karaha hyenas, who live in the deadly desert, are basically nocturnal.

　Therefore, nightfall marks the beginning of a new day in the Karah territory. It was at this time that Dark and his companions entered the Karah territory.

　He entered directly through the city gate, which was piled with earth and stones. The "Moon God's Chariot" was completely blended into the night under the protection of the barrier and was not noticed at all.

　According to their plan, they would stay overnight in the oasis to gather information before attempting to set off again the following day.

　Inside the carriage, the three rolled up their hair with a gray-white cloth. Dark summoned "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye," dressed her up the same way, and covered her face with a veil. He then ordered her to pretend to be the coachman and drive the carriage with "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit."

　Then, the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" turned into a deserted corner, and when it came out again, it had already put away the "Night Travel Barrier".

　The magnificent design of the "Lunar Chariot" and the two black unicorns are still eye-catching, but it's still better than a chariot pulled by a rabbit.

　Dark had no intention of keeping a low profile—not that he didn't want to, but that he simply couldn't.

　The chances of humans appearing in the Karahal territory are already slim. Unless they disguise themselves as orcs, their presence is bound to attract attention.

　However, there are human interactions within the Karah territory.

　The Death Desert contains special minerals and a considerable number of magical beasts that live only in this desert.

　The materials from those monsters are extremely rare, which increases their value. And things containing treasures never lack adventurers.

　There are some adventurers who travel to the Death Desert year after year, relying on mining rare minerals and hunting desert monsters to survive.

　These trades are highly profitable, but the dangers of the Death Desert are unparalleled in ordinary places. Therefore, while earning a great deal of money, they also bear the constant risk of sudden death.

　Simply put, it's trading human lives for money.

　Besides adventurers, Karah Territory also has a unique human tribe.

　This human tribe has lived in the Death Desert for over a century. Aside from their bloodlines not being intermingled, they are almost indistinguishable from the local Kalahari hyenas. Known as "hyenas among humans," they are the best guides in the Death Desert.

　"The Book of Deserts records that the Sand People are born with the ability to control sand and dust—although this ability is not necessarily reliable, their ability to sense sandstorms in advance and guide travelers to avoid them is real."

　Emma also covered her face with a veil and then placed several magic cards close to her body.

　She had studied the dialect of the Kalahari hyenas before coming here, and could do basic dictation without error, unlike Dak who needed an "adventure bird" to translate.

　However, the Sand People all know a little bit of the Kingdom Language and can communicate smoothly with humans from outside.

　"Anyway, let's go to the Sandworm Tavern first and hire a Sand Clan member." Dark lifted the curtain, squinted, and carefully observed the pedestrians along the street. The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" was indeed eye-catching; every pedestrian who met it looked in this direction.

　But anyone with a brain knows that someone who dares to act so ostentatiously in the Death Desert is definitely not someone who can be easily manipulated.

　The petty thieves glanced at him and then hurried away. Only someone with considerable self-confidence would dare to target such a person.
