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

　The status within the "Star Tower" is surprisingly high.

　It now appears that the "Star Tower" is actually inextricably linked to the "Serpent of Wisdom" and belongs to an affiliated force.

　In that case, there's no need to worry about the Tower Master's message! But speaking of which, what about the "Star Sage" Grinton Rossetti's people? This "invitation" was sent by the "Star Sage" after all, so now that they've arrived, shouldn't they at least be given a audience?

　But he has stayed here for two nights, and the "Sage of the Stars" has not made a sound.

　"Also, there's been no movement from Senior Fette Steinbeck. Is she busy with something?"

　Dark calmed himself down and tried to join the conversation among the young people. But after saying a few words, he realized that there seemed to be a deep generation gap between himself and these young prophets.

　Well, it's not really a "generation gap" to say.

　The two are simply from different circles, and their values, ideas, and perceptions are also different.

　If you force someone to talk to you, only one side can give in.

　But consistently displaying high emotional intelligence is actually very tiring. Therefore, Dark chose to maintain the initial image of a cool and aloof male god.

　More than half an hour later, that group of loud and boisterous young people

　They were just called away by their teacher, and the area returned to quiet.

　Just by listening, Dark and Gina Grant had already gained a lot, increasing their understanding of the Prophet's circle.

　The two exchanged a glance, and were just about to return to their low-key personas when they noticed that once the group of young people left, there were suddenly more people looking in their direction.

　Those who had been observing from the sidelines suddenly found a crack and couldn't wait to squeeze in.

　Dakdimon is no longer the nobody who would be recognized on the street.

　Even if they didn't notice at first, with such a large group of young people rushing over, they would find out if they eavesdropped a little.

　The blond boy sitting in the corner is actually the son of the Valkyrie! In the current kingdom, the Valkyrie faction is second only to the royal family and the Holy Church, a fact that was somewhat taboo in the past.

　It is precisely in this special period that such a powerful force has the fertile ground to survive.

　The royal family needs the Valkyrie faction to fight against the Holy Church.

　The Valkyrie faction had no interest in the throne—they had higher goals.

　However, under normal circumstances, the Valkyrie faction was actually quite low-key, and the Duke's mansion had been keeping a low profile.

　It is only now, with the change in the situation, that continuing to keep a low profile is meaningless, and the Valkyrie faction has truly stepped forward.

　Regardless, Dakdimon can be considered a member of the contemporary elite. Cultivating a good relationship with him would mean having an opportunity to infiltrate the highest circles.

　Even prophets need to make a living, you know.

　After that, invitations to visit came one after another, without stopping. Although Darke was annoyed, he still dealt with them properly.

　His current identity is no longer that of a prophet participating in the "Night of Prophecy," but rather the heir to the dukedom.

　Half past five.

　Star Armor Guards surged into the Starry Hall to protect the four corners.

　The archmage of the "Star Tower" then entered, installed the teleportation device, carefully adjusted it, and prepared for teleportation.

　Six o'clock sharp.

　The first group of prophets stepped into the teleportation array, and in a flash of white light, they arrived at the "Star Descending Platform" at the top of the "Star Tower".

　Then came the second batch, the third batch...

　Soon, all the invitees in the Starry Hall arrived at the "Descending Star Platform".

　The entire "Star Descending Platform" is disc-shaped, but its actual size is not much smaller than the lower level.

　As night falls, the walls and sky of the "Star Descending Platform" gradually become transparent, and starlight shines down, reflecting a faint silver light.

　Walking on the "Star Descending Platform" at this moment feels like being on an open-air platform, where you can look up and see the stars and the bright moon.

　Located in the center of the "Star Descending Platform," a platform rises half a meter high, and only invited prophets with the authority to speak can have seats on this platform.

　The rest of the people, including the followers, were witnesses.

　Dark stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived at the "Star Descending Platform," immediately looking up at it.

　The people around were mostly doing the same, all subconsciously observing the night sky. Those who were more sensitive to the power of the stars would have noticed that the power of the stars was unusually strong tonight.

　After a while, the people who arrived at the "Star Descending Platform" began to go to their respective destinations.

　Dark found a seat near the platform and arranged for Ellie to sit down.

　Then, after thinking for a moment, she placed "Shaymin" on her shoulder. She herself then carried "Eevee" onto the platform.

　Each seat on the platform has a round table in front of it, with a small crystal ball and refreshments on the table.

　The invitees assigned seats according to their names and quickly took their places.

　After Dak sat down, he noticed that Gina Grant's seat was one seat away from his, and he couldn't help but frown.

　Logically, since they were both students from St. Mary's College, they should have been seated next to each other. So, who was the seat between them reserved for?

　But two minutes later, Eudora Envi sat down in the seat between the two of them, and Dark immediately stopped complaining.

　But he was still puzzled.

　He didn't realize it until the empty seat to his left was taken by senior student Feltsteinbeck.

　It turned out that it wasn't Eudora who came to the visitor's seat, but rather he and Gina who were arranged to sit in the "Star Tower" disciple's seat.

　Aside from him and Gina, the rest of the group consisted of young disciples from the "Star Tower".

　Further ahead are the second-generation members under the "Star Tower" master, namely the "Star Sage" and Professor Mitia's group.

　The seating arrangement is curved, with the outer edge longer than the inner edge, so that each seat faces the center as much as possible.

　That was clearly the seat of the "Star Tower" master.

　The Tower Master has always presided over the "Night of Prophecy," and tonight will be no exception.

　After exchanging a few quiet words with Eudora, Dak turned slightly to look at Fetsteinbeck on his left and said, "Senior Fetsteinbeck, it's good to see you again."

　Fittsteinbeck covered up his embarrassment with a smile: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these past two days to receive you in person."

　Dark said, "No, not at all. On the contrary, I'm the one who feels a little embarrassed."

　His "invitation" was from the "Sage of the Stars," but when he arrived at the "Star Tower," he ended up looking for Professor Mitia, which wasn't exactly a good thing.

　"Don't say that," Feltsteinbeck said. "We'll get together for another meal after tonight."

　Dark nodded and said, "Of course I have no problem with that, but..." Fetsteinbeck said, "Of course I'll invite the president along, and Eudora too."

　Felt Steinbeck is a member of the "Astrology Society." Gina Grant is the president of the "Astrology Society."

　When Gina heard that she was mentioned, she smiled and waved to Fate.

　After responding, Fate said softly, "Do you know how surprised I was when I saw the president's name on the list a few days ago?"

　Dark said, "I can roughly imagine."

　Fate stuck out her tongue and said, "I handled all the details, like the list, seating arrangements, etc. Please forgive any shortcomings." Dark understood and said, "It feels pretty good."

　Neither the "Sage of the Stars" nor Feltsteinbeck had come to see him these past two days. They were indeed busy, and busy with matters concerning the "Night of Prophecy."

　The "Sage of the Stars" is most likely the person in charge behind this "Night of Prophecy".

　It was only natural that Fetsteinbeck, as a disciple, would be forced to do hard labor.

　The two chatted back and forth.

　Eudora sat to Dak's right, simply listening intently.

　She's actually not good with words, rarely speaks in public, and doesn't try to be in the spotlight.

　She was already very content to be able to sit next to Dark at this "Night of Prophecy".

　After a while, once all the invitees had taken their seats, the "Sage of the Stars," Professor Mydia, and others in the front row also came up from the side and took their seats one by one.

　The sounds inside and outside the platform suddenly disappeared. The "Star Descending Platform" fell silent.

　As Dark was trying to guess which one of them was "Star Sage" Grinton Rossetti, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure among the group.

　"Isn't that Grandma Martha? Why is she sitting in that group of people?" Dark wondered, exchanging a glance with Gina Grant.

　The latter gestured towards Fetsteinbeck with his lip.

　Dark frowned slightly, but still turned to ask, "Senior Fate, do you know Grandma Martha?"

　"Who is Granny Martha?" Feltsteinbeck asked, looking puzzled.

　A thought struck Dak, and he pointed to Granny Wanmasa's retreating figure. Fettersteinbeck suddenly realized, "You mean that one? That's Granny Maggie, not Martha."

　"Grandma Maggie," Dak frowned in thought.

　Eudora, on the right, suddenly spoke up: "It's Granny Maggie from Norwegian Forest." Dark suddenly chimed in, "So it's that one..."

　Although Norwegian Forest is not as famous as the "Star Tower" or "Sky City", it is still a very well-known territory.

　Grandma Maggie is the mistress of the Norwegian Forest.

　She rarely left the forest and was often referred to as a "witch" in history. Some people thought witches were evil and broke into the forest to kill her, while others felt her kindness and spread her name far and wide.

　Regardless of good or evil, the fact that she left behind so many legends means that she was old enough to transcend history.

　—Grandma Maggie is not human!

　“No wonder I always felt a sense of closeness to him,” Darke gradually realized.

　Granny Maggie of Norwegian Forest, this name has recently been most prominent in contexts related to heroes.

　Together with the deputy lord of Sky City, she made a prophecy about the hero, indicating that the son of the previous hero, Vitgold, would continue his father's mission and become the hero of the future.

　This is the beginning of the whole story.

　Grandma Maggie is definitely not human.

　Her true identity is a little fairy who lives alone in the Norwegian Forest!

　Grandma Maggie is an authority in astrology and has a close relationship with the "Star Tower." This time, she was invited and was personally received by the tower's master.

　In other words, she went straight to the upper levels as soon as she entered the "Star Tower," which explains why she couldn't be found on the lower three levels.

　But since she is a little fairy, then unless she has encountered a curse like Professor Didi, her old woman appearance can only be a facade to deceive the world.

　Fairies are a member of the long-lived race, blessed by time and eternally youthful, making them a race even closer to the ideal of fantasy than their close relatives, the elves.

　If it weren't for prior investigation, Dak would never have imagined that beneath that kind and amiable exterior lay a mischievous little imp!

　But thinking about it this way, it's understandable that she would put on a fake identity and conceal her true nature.

Chapter 1141 The Night of Disaster (Part 2)

　After all, the little fairies are as famous for their "mischief" as they are for their "perpetual youth".

　If everyone knew that Granny Maggie of Norwegian Forest was actually a little fairy, then her carefully crafted persona would completely collapse.

　"Forget it, let's just pretend we don't know anything."

　Dark looked at Gina Grant, their eyes meeting in agreement.

　The two then stopped mentioning Granny Maggie and focused entirely on waiting for the "Night of Prophecy" to begin.

　Dark reached for the crystal ball placed on the table, one for each person. The crystal ball was only the size of a palm. He held it in his hand and infused it with magic, and the surrounding sounds instantly disappeared.

　"Soundproof crystal".

　Darke's heart skipped a beat, and he realized the origin of the crystal ball.

　Using this crystal ball, you can selectively reduce the sound in certain areas, focusing your attention only on a specific range.

　This is very convenient for concentrating on listening to the leader's speech during multi-person meetings.

　In addition, it can also be used as a regular crystal ball.

　These palm-sized crystal balls are quite convenient to use.

　“You can take this crystal ball with you,” Fate Steinbeck suddenly reminded him.

　Dark nodded slightly, indicating that he understood; the crystal ball was a free gift. He could take it if he wanted.

　The whispers gradually faded away.

　A moment later, all the prophets in the front row were seated.
