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

　After Dak finally finished speaking, he saw her standing there like a dazed goose. He couldn't help but reach out and pat her soft cheeks, thinking to himself, "They feel so good."

　Eudora suddenly woke up, her skin instantly turning red and warm, the heat rising to the top of her head, making her feel like a roasted crayfish, wishing she could jump back into the pot so that Dak could eat her as much as he wanted.

　After a long while, Eudora calmed down, but she still occasionally raised her eyelids to look at Dark's face.

　Dark said, "That's it. The resurrection of the gods and Ragnarok are a cycle; your prophecy will definitely come true, it's just a matter of time."

　"And what about you?" Eudora couldn't help but ask.

　Dark looked at her and said, "Don't we have another prophecy?" Eudora's heart stirred as she thought of the calamity they had both foreseen.

　That was her "apocalypse," and also Dark's "apocalypse." Three stars appeared from three directions, ultimately crashing to the same spot. The resulting explosion leveled the entire earth.

　The creatures that lurked in the darkness were all reduced to dust in that terrifying black light.

　For a time, Dark thought the three Dark Stars represented the Demon King. But upon closer examination, he has only encountered two Demon Kings so far, as evidenced by the two "Demon King" cards in his card pack.

　There is no third demon king—this contradicts the key word "three" found in "Apocalypse".

　Although prophecies may change due to their actions, it is also true that they have not all come true.

　If Eudora chooses to reveal the Ragnarok prophecy she interpreted during her first "Apocalypse" on the "Night of Prophecy" tomorrow night...

　Then Darke used the calamity prophecy she interpreted from her second "revelation".

　“Such prophecies are probably very common on the Night of Prophecy, and our recitation won't draw much attention. Being too conspicuous on the Night of Prophecy, when prophets gather, is not a good thing.”

　"Dark said slowly."

　Regardless of whether the prophecy is true or false, doing the right thing in the right situation can reduce a lot of trouble.

　Being targeted by a prophet is never a good thing. He's just here to watch the show, he doesn't want to be the center of attention.

　Eudora nodded slightly and said, "My teacher told me the same thing." Most prophets are invited to the "Night of Prophecy" to highlight their own presence.

　People like them, whose very existence is the focus of attention, need to know how to conceal their talents.

　This is a lesson from history, a wisdom for survival.

　After the business was concluded, the atmosphere between the two sides eased.

　Seeing that the atmosphere in the room with the man and woman was starting to turn strange, Dark immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Won't you show me around the tower?"

　Eudora, whose mind had seemingly crashed, quickly restarted and said, "My room is on the fifth floor. Many of the young astrologers in the tower live on that floor. We can go and take a look first..."

　Although Dak really wanted to complain, who takes a boy to see their bedroom right from the start... he ended up saying more.

　The two tidied up the research room a little, then walked out and headed for the stairs side by side.

　As Eudora walked away, she said, "The fourth floor is a regular research institute. The young disciples of the Star Tower will be assigned to a research lab. We can use the research lab as we please, and we can apply for materials and tools directly from the tower. Although the application process is a bit slow, it is generally successful."

　Dak looked around, puzzled, and asked, "What are the basic research projects here?"

　Eudora said, "It should be celestial phenomena. But I heard that was the initial research objective. As the research has expanded, the research projects have also changed, so it's hard to say what the core project is now."

　Dak nodded and responded.

　Eudora continued, “You see, to study celestial phenomena, you first need to observe them, right? And to observe the stars, you need a telescope that can see the night sky clearly. To measure the distances between stars, you need related measuring tools… Research projects like these have gradually expanded and become what they are today. Many researchers are no longer fixated on celestial phenomena themselves, but have become interested in developing other projects. And the Tower Master, in line with this trend, awards researchers with outstanding research results every year to encourage the creation of new things.”

　Dark said, "The master of the 'Star Tower' certainly has a very good reputation. I heard he even tried to incorporate probability theory into divination."

　Eudora nodded and said, "I heard my teacher mention it; it's true, but it hasn't worked out. A little over two months ago, I had just returned to the tower when my teacher borrowed my math book, saying the tower master wanted to borrow it. And then…"

　At this point, Eudora pouted indignantly and said, "Look at the result! Now the whole tower is covered with photocopied math textbooks. There are even my class notes on them!"

　Dark finally understood where the researcher's bound volume of mathematics had come from. But wasn't it a bit excessive to photocopy someone's notes without even cleaning them up?

　If Eudora were to write something inappropriate somewhere in the book, wouldn't he be dragged down with her?

　Thinking of this, Dak couldn't help but turn to look at Eudora.

　But he discovered that the latter had already turned to the other side, its gaze fixed on the ground. Dark suddenly had a bad feeling: "Could it be that it's already dead?"

　"Is that Little Dark, Eudora's favorite?"

　In a secluded corner, young women in white coats huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.

　Every now and then, people would be unable to resist their curiosity and pretend to walk past Dark and Eudora in order to get a closer look at Dark's face.

　"Wow, wow, wow, so beautiful, so elegant! Even if I were Dora the Explorer, I couldn't resist!"

　"I heard he's the sole heir of a duke's family, and that duke is the legendary Valkyrie..."

　"Oh, you guys don't subscribe to the newspaper? Darkdemon's famous. Apparently, he's only a second-year student, and he beat that sixth-year guy... Night or something in the St. Marian Academy's Academy Cup."

　"The Night Baron! It's shameful to say this. I used to be his fan, but it turns out he's just all talk and no action."

　"Don't say that. That Baron of the Night does have real skills. It's just that our Eudora's sweetheart is too powerful. After all, look, one of them is a duke, and the other is a baron..."

　"How can you see it that way? It's just a title! Speaking of which, Little Dark's title is Golden Duke..."

　"I know that, I know that! It's called the Children of the Stars!"

　"The Starchild... wait, I remember for a while, Grinton was always talking about the Starchild, could it be him?"

　"Who knows? We'll just have to ask Little Fitt if she's around." "I don't know, I don't know. She disappeared two days ago. Who knows what she's been up to?"

　"Are they preparing for the Night of Prophecy?" "Probably..."

　"I always feel like no matter where we go, someone is watching us... Is Eudora really that popular in the Star Tower? Well, at least I feel a bit more at ease."

　Dak followed Eudora to the staircase and climbed to the fifth floor. The fifth floor of the "Star Tower" had a completely different style.

　The environment here is comfortable, with plenty of greenery and simulated sunlight on the ceiling. A short walk further in, you'll see a three-story villa surrounded by rows of green trees.

　These small villas are neatly arranged on the fifth floor, one after another.

　Most of the young people living in the "Star Tower" live here, either alone or in groups, entirely voluntarily.

　Dark had initially thought that the "Star Tower" would be an elite organization with few members, but after seeing it, he realized that it was a large organization with a population size comparable to St. Marian Academy.

　If there are differences...

　That is, the students and professors of St. Mary's College are constantly changing, while the members of the "Star Tower" are accumulated year by year.

　As Dak and Yudora talked along the way, they learned that this change had occurred only after the current tower master took over.

　The original "Star Tower" was indeed a small place where only a dozen or so astrologers huddled together for warmth.

　Based on the information gathered earlier, Dak could tell that the master of the "Star Tower" was indeed a pioneering and enterprising person.

　People like this often play a very important role at the beginning of a new era.

　Once the matter is over, once again, the next day is right.

　Principal Arte went to the Mountain of the Gods because of the guidance of the tower master of the "Star Tower".

　The world has changed so much that it's hard to hide it from his senses. But Dark knows that, so far, there's no place for him in the soon-to-be-established "Magic League".

　There are only two weeks left until the first meeting of the "Magic League." If he intends to enter the world of magic, there isn't much time left.

　Eudora's residence was about a kilometer from the entrance of her building. Although she usually used a magical spirit to travel, she now wished the road beneath her feet could be as long as possible.

　The "Star Tower" has an excellent air purification and circulation system.

　On a sweltering summer day, while the sun beats down outside, the tower remains cool and refreshing. A gentle breeze caresses your hair, and the air around you is pleasantly clean.

　Eudora and her beloved walked together on this smooth road, wishing they could walk like this forever.

　However, time will always flow, and the road beneath our feet will eventually come to an end.

　Suddenly, a beautifully designed three-story villa came into view, nestled among the trees.

　Eudora took out an identity card and swiped it on the gemstone at the entrance of the villa. The bronze door between the two stone pillars opened automatically.

　Dak glanced at the stone pillars. One of them had Eudora's nameplate on it, while the other had a room number on it.

　Upon entering the gate, there is a path leading directly to the house, with small pebbles paving both sides. Further along, there are flower beds and medicinal herb gardens.

　Although not as luxurious as a duke's mansion, this is still a mansion that ordinary people dream of.

　Eudora was quite startled when she first moved in, but she's gradually gotten used to it now.

　The "Star Tower" is extremely wealthy.

　Because in this world, there is never a shortage of wealthy people willing to spend a lot of money to predict the future.

　As long as the "Sacred Site" title of the "Star Tower" remains, a continuous stream of wealth will flow in.

　Under the management of the tower master, new technologies are constantly emerging within the tower and then being applied to the lives of the tower's members.

　Here, Dak witnessed a life of convenience almost comparable to his previous life. Aside from the lack of television, computers, and mobile phones, it was already remarkably modern.

　As he traveled along, he couldn't help but wonder whether he should also transform that subspace into something like this.

　"This is my home in the Star Tower."

　Eudora ushered Dark inside, her voice tinged with a hint of shyness. Dark noticed her bashfulness and pointed to the medicinal herb field, asking curiously, "What's growing over there?"

　Yudora quickly replied, "They're just some medicinal herbs that don't require much care." Dak responded and then stopped looking at them.

　He just started a conversation to ease the awkwardness.

　But upon closer inspection, one immediately notices a flower growing in the medicinal field that is used to make sleeping pills.

　Sleeping pills can help students sleep and prevent them from being troubled by insomnia.

　Professor Thompson specifically addressed this in class. It has absolutely no other function.

　After taking off his shoes in the entryway, Dak changed into a pair of slippers and followed Eudora inside.

　After Yudora arranged for him to sit down in the living room on the first floor, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

　Dark looked around; the room wasn't luxuriously decorated, but every detail revealed the girl's delicate sensibilities.

　This home was clearly very important to Eudora. Although it seemed rushed, Eudora's preparations were actually quite thorough. She not only carefully prepared Dark's favorite black tea, but also prepared pastries in advance.

　The room is cleaned daily to ensure that no trash is visible.

　As she brewed the tea, she racked her brains trying to figure out where she might have gone wrong. Only after confirming that there were almost no mistakes did she feel a little relieved. Once the black tea was ready, she carried the tea tray back to the living room, skillfully poured the tea, arranged the pastries, and then sat on the sofa with a nervous expression, watching Dak.

　Dak paused for a moment before realizing that Eudora was waiting for him to taste the tea. But the water had just boiled; was it really safe to drink?

　Not wanting to burn his lips, Darkimon chose to eat the pastries first.

　It must be said that the pastry was perfect in both appearance and taste. Most importantly, there were no foreign objects inside.

　Dak ate two pieces and praised them highly.

　Seeing that Eudora's smile was about to burst, he finally said, "Are you used to living alone in such a big room?"

　Eudora said, "It's alright. At first, I would summon my magical spirits to keep me company, but I don't need to anymore."

　“Hmm.” Dark nodded, remaining silent for a moment.

　Eudora racked her brains and quickly said, "Shall we go upstairs and take a look? I have a laboratory, a study, and a divination room!"

　“Of course.” A hint of interest appeared on Dak’s face. Eudora then got up and led her upstairs.

　For a mage, a laboratory is essential. For an astrologer, a divination room is equally necessary. However, after entering both rooms, Dark's many thoughts ultimately boiled down to two words—"clean."

　It was spotless, with absolutely no signs of use.

　Entering the study, the same was true; even the ink on the desk was fresh, clearly just changed.

　Looking through the rooms one by one, she unknowingly arrived at the bedroom door. Eudora subconsciously opened the door, realizing it was the bedroom by then it was too late.

　but it does not matter.

　Eudora is perfect today! Even the bedroom has been cleaned beforehand.

　There are definitely no overly scary photos or dolls! It's just that it's the first time I've brought a boy into my bedroom, so it's still a little embarrassing.

　However, Dark took one look and quickly withdrew.

　The two eventually reached the balcony on the third floor, where they leaned against the railing, gazing at the trees and scenery, chatting quietly in the fresh breeze, their voices gradually breaking into laughter.

　A rare moment of comfort.

　Looking back on the several times he met with Eudora alone, each time was quite special. Such ordinary interactions seemed all the more precious.

　Dak liked this feeling.

　Occasional surprises are just for fun, and epic adventures are fine once or twice, but eventually we have to return to a peaceful and tranquil life.

　However, an ordinary life is a luxury, and a peaceful and tranquil life is not something everyone can enjoy.

　Lunch will be served here.
