Chapter 1139 Darkdemon and the Star Tower (10k votes requested)

　Although Gina Grant is a student at the Fool's House, she has the air of someone from the Magic Academy.

　I don't know how she was assigned to the House of Fools back then. Dark knew her and knew that she was different from those students in the House of Fools who had accumulated knowledge and experience over time. She was an outstanding student who had shown her talent since her first year.

　Although she is low-key and focuses on club activities, she is still a role model for the Fools' House over the years.

　Gina Grant has brownish hair with natural curls. Two strands of her hair are tied in the front with ribbons, and if you look closely, you can see that the ribbons seem to be decorated with obscure incantations.

　She had fair skin and delicate features, but she wasn't short. Her chest was slightly flat, and overall she appeared quite slender.

　Dark glanced around briefly, then whispered, "How about tonight?" Gina Grant frowned slightly. Dark nodded and said, "Nighttime provides cover." Gina Grant added, "But it's also more dangerous."

　Dark laughed, "We're going to the Star Tower, not some dangerous place. Besides, going at night might even let us see the Star Path."

　The Star Tower is a secret realm similar to St. Marian's Academy.

　Unlike St. Mary's College, the Star Tower is not as spacious; it is merely a tower that moves with the changing celestial phenomena.

　Astrologers can determine the exact location of the Star Tower by observing the stars at night. And if one goes there at night, there is a chance of witnessing a cluster of stars converging and pouring into the tower.

　People call it the "Path of the Stars," and by following the "Path of the Stars," one can enter the Star Tower.

　However, how the "Path of Stars" was formed and whether there are any rules are beyond the knowledge of outsiders.

　Professor Mitia also rarely talks about anything related to the Star Tower.

　She only told Dark how to calculate the coordinates of the Star Tower using celestial phenomena.

　Last night, Dak did a rough calculation and found that the Star Tower was not particularly far from St. Mary's College, so he made a plan to go out tonight.

　The method for calculating the coordinates of the Star Tower is not a secret—or rather, it has become less of a secret over the years.

　With a grasp of the calculation method and a basic understanding of astrology, one can calculate the approximate location of the Star Tower.

　Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't understand anything. There are even prophetic magazines that report the daily location of the Star Tower as a feature of the magazines.

　Every "Night of Prophecy" sees prophets trying every possible way to infiltrate the Star Tower.

　For some unknown reason, the Star Tower itself always has oversights, allowing some outside prophets to successfully infiltrate it.

　Among those uninvited prophets, there may even be charlatans who deceive the world and steal fame.

　Every "night of prophecy" results in a fraudster being exposed, becoming a source of amusement.

　"Wait, could it be..."

　Suddenly, Dak had a thought and began to ponder.

　He is now beginning to suspect that the Star Tower deliberately let some people in to create interest and generate buzz.

　Invited prophets and uninvited prophets gather together to see how they compete and how they expose the swindlers hidden among them.

　It’s interesting to think about.

　Such events, if publicized sufficiently, can easily attract attention, thereby showcasing Star Tower's professionalism and authority.

　The image of a thing needs to be established through multi-level dissemination and long-term maintenance.

　Despite its appearance as a secluded holy land, the Star Tower is actually very concerned about things like reputation and prestige; otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain the title of "holy land".

　Ultimately, being a prophet is just that kind of profession.

　A prophet is one who is believed by others.

　If no one believes it, then it's a scam.

　If one day even an organization like the "Star Tower" ceases to exist, then the credibility of prophets in people's minds will probably be utterly ruined.

　After all, no matter how powerful a prophet is, they cannot guarantee that their predictions will be 100% accurate.

　After all, the future begins to change the moment you foresee it.

　Dark casually voiced his thoughts, and Gina Grant blinked, then suddenly said, "We can't be dragged out as liars, can we?"

　After a moment of silence, Dak said, "We have an invitation."

　After saying that, he took out a gold and silver card from his card holder and waved it in the light.

　The invitation from the Star Tower was a work of art. The metal card was gold on one side and silver on the other.

　One side, made of gold, is engraved with a symbol of the sun. The other side, made of silver, is engraved with a symbol of the moon.

　The overall carving is very exquisite, and the raised areas reveal intricate circuitry resembling that of a circuit board.

　The edges of the card are inlaid with gemstone particles representing stars.

　Upon touching it, you'll find that the gold side is warm, while the silver side feels slightly cool.

　In short, it's clearly not an ordinary item.

　The invitations issued for this "Night of Prophecy" are quite special. Even if they are not used for the "Night of Prophecy," they can be used as admission tickets to the "Star Tower" at other times, and they are lifetime admission tickets.

　Although the "Star Tower" sounds mysterious to outsiders, it is actually considered a high-end social venue in the eyes of the upper-level prophets.

　Even without special events, those renowned prophets like to come to the "Star Tower" to sit and exchange ideas about their work or lives.

　trivial matters

　The first, second, and third floors of the "Star Tower" are open to the public, while the floors above the third floor are private areas for those inside the tower, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.

　After chatting with senior student Gina Grant for a while, Dak discovered that although she was very knowledgeable, she knew almost nothing about the Star Tower.

　Even though there are Star Tower astrologers like Senior Fette Steinbeck in the "Astrology Club," I don't know why she couldn't help but ask.

　However, Dak and Professor Mitis had a good relationship, and you could hear a lot of things about them in their casual conversations.

　Using this as a topic of conversation, Dak easily became acquainted with senior student Gina Grant.

　Even after lunch was over, Gina Grant was still reluctant to leave.

　However, Dark had already stood up and said, "Then let's meet at the Dragon Training Platform after dinner. How about six o'clock tonight?"

　Senior Gina nodded on the spot and said, "No problem, I will be on time."

　Dark nodded, said goodbye, and quickly left the cafeteria, heading towards the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　Every time I leave school, I have to deal with club affairs, which is quite troublesome.

　Once he leaves the school, the magical spirits will also be unable to remain in the academy. This is mainly because "Paradise" needs to be recharged.

　Since the development of magic cards, no mage has been able to create an item that can replenish the magic power of magic cards. Replenishing the magic power of each magic card requires the mage to do it personally, which is also the reason why he cannot leave "Paradise" in the club classroom.

　"Paradise" can only be maintained for a maximum of 24 hours with a single mana replenishment. Dark replenishes mana daily to keep "Paradise" running. Moreover, it's impossible to summon all these magical spirits while traveling.

　The only thing that can change this situation is to develop subspace as soon as possible.

　The "Paradise" will be placed in the subspace, and when traveling, they can simply be sent into the subspace.

　Of course, using only the [Paradise 3.0] card is still quite troublesome.

　Dark's idea was to ask Claire to develop a simplified version of "Paradise" specifically for providing magic power to magical spirits, and finally enhance the magic recovery ability, weaken the "record" requirement, and make it a general-purpose version that can be used on magical spirits without the need for recording.

　This shouldn't be too difficult for the Sage of Beasts who developed "Zoo" and "Paradise".

　If possible, Dak would also like to have two or three more for rotation.

　Although he was glared at by Claire when he made his request before the projection, Claire did not refuse.

　No refusal is an admission. Dark is optimistic about the development of subspace.

　As usual, Dark entrusted the rest of the magical creatures, catnip, and insect tree to the maids for care. He only took Little Guhuoniao and Foxheartfire with him, and even these two little darlings were entrusted to Ellie for care.

　Dark's golem "Magnemite" had long since become their mount. After everything was arranged, Dark put all the magical spirits back into his magic cards and began packing his luggage.

　He had already spoken with the professors about leaving school today, and also with Diana, Rose, Aurora, Pandora, and others.

　It was exactly 6 p.m.

　Having eaten dinner early, Darkdemon dragged a suitcase to the Dragon Training Platform.

　He had barely arrived when Gina Grant followed.

　After the two greeted each other, Dark summoned the "Fairy Tale Animal Bunny" and the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" to signal Gina to enter the carriage.

　Gina Grant only brought a small red suitcase, which wasn't heavy.

　Dark didn't show any gentlemanly manners at this moment. He waited until Gina pulled the suitcase into the carriage before letting Ellie follow, while he sat down on the platform outside the carriage.

　He had noticed someone watching him since noon. Just now, that feeling suddenly became even stronger.

　Out of caution, Dark decided to keep his distance from Gina Grant to avoid any inexplicable misunderstandings.

　This trip to the Star Tower was very different from his trip to the Death Desert. His trip to the Death Desert was driven by a very clear purpose. His trip to the Star Tower, however, was purely for observation and to broaden his horizons. When he received the invitation to the "Night of Prophecy" from Senior Sister Fetsteinbeck, Dark was filled with interest, even considering asking the "Sage of the Stars," Grinton Rossetti, about the secrets of the "Star Summoning Spell."

　But as time went by, his desire for that kind of thing gradually faded.

　As for the original purpose of the "Night of Prophecy" in predicting the future, it lost its meaning as Hermes appeared, the establishment of divine rituals, and other signs of the gods' resurgence were revealed to him without any concealment.

　Simply put, he has already foreseen the future, so there is no need for a "night of prophecy".

　Therefore, this trip to the Star Tower was purely for relaxation.

　"mum!"

　As the "Fairy Tale Animal Bunny" let out a slightly excited cry, the "Moon Goddess Chariot" took off, circled twice in the air, and then entered the barrier gate that had opened out of thin air, driving out of St. Mary's Academy.

　Last night, I observed the stars and calculated the approximate location of the "Star Tower," which is only half a day's journey from St. Mary's College.

　If you set off at this time, you should be able to arrive at the "Star Tower" shortly after midnight.

　During this time, once night falls completely, Dark will observe the stars again and calculate the precise coordinates of the "Star Tower".

　They had just set off, and it wasn't dark yet. Dak sat next to the "Fairy Tale Animal Rabbit," his feet dangling in the air, enjoying the gentle breeze. He felt a rare moment of relaxation and a sense of comfort throughout his body.

　The moment I stepped out of St. Mary's Academy, it felt as if I had left behind all the knowledge that had filled my mind all day. I felt instantly lighter, and it was incredibly comfortable.

　However, this sense of ease lasted for less than fifteen minutes before it ended. Sitting there gazing at the sky, a multitude of unresolved problems naturally surfaced.

　Dark tapped his head, wondering how he, who hadn't always been such a studious person, had become like this in the last two years.

　"Hey."

　Gina Grant finally couldn't hold back any longer and pushed open the door to her carriage. Dark turned around and asked, "Is something the matter?"

　Gina Grant looked him over carefully and muttered, "His face is very handsome."

　Dark: "Hmm"

　“It’s nothing,” Gina Grant said, walking over to sit down on the other side of the “Fairy Tale Animal Bunny” table. “I’m just a little bored and wanted to talk to someone.”

　Dark glanced in the direction of St. Marian's Academy, then turned back and said, "If you're bored, you can find a book to read. I have one here..."

　Gina Grant rolled her eyes and said, "I brought my books." "Haha," Dark chuckled, "Is there anything you want to ask, senior?"

　Gina Grant said, "I forgot to ask before, how did you get the invitation?"

　Dark said, "Grinton Rossetti of the Star Tower heard from somewhere that I was some kind of Child of the Stars, and wanted to take me as his disciple. So he sent Senior Sister Fetsteinbeck to invite me to the Star Tower."

　Gina Grant exclaimed in surprise, "Grinton Rossetti, isn't that the 'Sage of the Stars'?"

　Dark nodded and said, "Yes, he's the creator of the 'Star Summoning Technique,' and the personal disciple of the Star Tower Master."

　Gina Grant said, "Doesn't that mean you're part of the Star Tower's inner circle? So you agreed?"

　Dark shook his head slightly and said, "No."

　Gina Grant blinked, then suddenly said, "I've heard that the 'Sage of the Stars' doesn't have a very good temper."

　Dark smiled and said, "It's alright, we're looking for the Silver Moon Witch, Professor Mydia Bartholomew."

　The professor will handle everything.

　Gina Grant turned to look ahead and said, "You know, we astrologers always look towards the Star Tower as we move forward."

　Dakwan said, "But you did not choose the Star Tower."

　Gina Grant sighed slightly and said, "After all, before being an astrologer, I was a mage."

　As a mage, naturally one should choose St. Marian Academy. One cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

　Dark smiled and said, "Even if you can't become an astrologer at the Star Tower, you can still leave a prophecy in the 'Book of Prophecy.' As long as the prophecy comes true, you can leave your mark on history."

　Gina Grant said, "What if the prophecy fails?" Darke laughed, "Who cares about losers?" The Book of Prophecy is the symbol of the Star Tower.
