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

　Professor Cazell, however, seemed to have been prepared. He simply took a stack of books from the bookshelf and placed them on the table: "If you can learn about five or six points from these, that's about right."

　Dark nodded. He knew the professor was right; he meant that with his guidance, the student could barely complete some of the operations, at least allowing him to play a significant role in the creation of the "Golden Core."

　He reached into the stack of books, pulled one out, and quickly flipped through it. Two or three minutes later, he picked up another book.

　Two minutes later, another book appeared.

　In this way, he flipped through all the books in just ten minutes. He roughly understood the contents of the books and felt that he should be able to learn them.

　"It's not a big problem."

　he said with a smile.

　The content I saw while casually flipping through the pages is now imprinted clearly in my mind, as if it were printed.

　This is the "blessing of the god of wisdom," which greatly reduces his learning costs.

　"Is a week enough?" Professor Cazell asked. Darke nodded without hesitation, "Yes, it's enough."

　“That’s good,” Professor Cazell said. “I’ll finalize the framework of ‘Golden Alchemist’ within a week, and we’ll discuss the internal design later… The information you provided was very useful.”

　Dark said, "Then let's continue in a week. But I have another idea besides the basic concept."

　Professor Kazel asked curiously, "What's your idea?" Darke replied, "The 'Golden King' possesses a holy sword."

　He only said this much before Professor Cazell immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh: "You really are greedy."

　Dark immediately shook his head and said, "This is not greed." The evidence is that [Greed +1] did not appear.

　After Professor Kazel finished laughing, he said, "If it were just a holy sword, that would be fine, but you're making a golem that can be transformed into a magical spirit. In that case, the holy sword and the golem must be integrated. This places extremely high demands on both the holy sword and the golem. Frankly, it's very difficult, even practically impossible. Unless..."

　Dark asked, "Unless what?"

　Professor Cazell said, "Unless you can bring me the 'Golden Sword' that he mentioned belongs to the 'Golden King'."

　Dark chuckled dryly and said, "Then let's take it later."

　But just as he was about to give up, Professor Cazell said, "However, it's not entirely hopeless."

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to ask, "What method?" Professor Kazel smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the Demon Sword?" Dark: "..."

　Professor Cazell: "I really forgot."

　Dark said with some helplessness, "There are too many things to do, I really can't keep up."

　The "Evil Eye Demon Sword" that he picked up from the Demon King is still inside the "Orb of Truth," displayed on the bookshelf.

　In a way, it's all Professor Kazel's fault for inventing the mass-produced "Sphere of Truth," which made even the most conspicuous materials, like the Demon Sword, disappear into the "Sphere of Truth."

　Otherwise, those precious materials placed on the shelf would always remind him to use them quickly.

　Now that everything is in the "Sphere of Truth," it's highly unlikely to break even without prior processing, and the presence of those materials has vanished instantly.

　But since we've already mentioned the "Demon Sword"...

　Dark said with a serious expression, "If you can research the forging method of the 'Artificial Holy Sword,' I am willing to provide my 'Evil Eye Demon Sword' as experimental material."

　“I’ve been waiting for you to say that,” Professor Kazel said cheerfully. “However, the ‘Artificial Holy Sword’ is a new project, and I’m not currently in charge of it.”

　Dark asked curiously, "Which professor is that?" Professor Cazell replied mysteriously, "It's Lillian." Dark was genuinely surprised: "Sister Lillian...she's reached the point where she can take on projects like this!"

　“No, not at all.” Professor Kazel’s gaze shifted upwards, a rare occurrence, and he seemed somewhat embarrassed. “Actually, it was Ergane and Lillian who were in charge… oh, and that ‘Water Angel’ too.”

　Dark: "Okay... fine!"

　The "Artificial Holy Sword" project is jointly overseen by angels, individuals once possessed by angels, and the god of wisdom—a team whose capabilities seem exceptionally reliable. Dark could almost picture everyone wielding a holy sword—even if they couldn't unleash its true power. But even the basic attributes of a holy sword would surpass those of ordinary weapons.

　Of course, even if the research on the "artificial holy sword" were successful, it would be impossible for it to be distributed indiscriminately; that would just be a figment of imagination.

　Moreover, the "artificial holy sword" should theoretically only simulate the holy sword and cannot reach 100% of the "holy sword's" strength.

　Its true value lies in enriching the diversity of holy swords wielded by heroes.

　I just don't know if we can use the "artificial holy sword" to complete the hero's bloodline.

　—Theoretically, it should be very difficult to achieve.

　Dark doesn't know much about it yet, nor is he clear about the basic manufacturing principles of the "artificial holy sword," so he will not comment on it.

　But for a "pseudo-hero candidate" like him who is unable to use the Holy Sword to complete his "hero bloodline," whether the "artificial Holy Sword" can complete his hero bloodline is not important.

　That's something only Witt needs to worry about.

　He'll be more than satisfied if he can simply enrich the diversity of the Holy Swords. If "artificial Holy Swords" could also be used to forge Magic Cards, that would be even better.

　He was even hoping that one day he could gather all the "Holy Swordsmen".

　In short, first give the "Evil Eye Demon Sword" broken in two to Ergane and Lillian, and then go check on the development progress of the "Artificial Holy Sword".

　If progress is promising, it might actually be able to catch up with the final production of "The Alchemist of the Golden Kingdom".

　Do it when you think of it.

　Dark sent a telepathic message to Impmon, instructing him to retrieve the Sphere of Truth containing the Evil Eye Sword. Darkmon then continued his detailed discussion with Professor Kazel regarding the follow-up research on the "Golden Kingdom Alchemists."

　Once Impmon retrieved the "Evil Eye Sword," he personally carried it to Ergane's hands.

　Ergani was quite happy to have obtained the "Evil Eye Demon Sword". But when Dark asked her about her progress, she only pointed to the manuscript papers all over the table and the books piled up on half the table, and then looked up at Dark.

　Dark knew she was facing a problem, so he asked with concern, "What else do you need?" Ergani thought for a moment and said, "I need a holy sword, and the scabbard of the God of War."

　It's a coincidence. He has both.

　"As for the War God's scabbard, I'll have Little Devimon fetch it again. As for the Holy Sword, you'll need to talk to Victoria yourself. She's probably been reluctant to use that 'Blood Holy Sword,' so it depends on whether you can borrow it from her," Dark said.

　Ergane smiled slightly and said, "Can I exchange ten for 'Future Loans'?" Dark laughed. Ergane turned her head and said, "That's called an investment."

　“Okay, let’s invest,” Dark said. “I suppose she’ll be willing to invest.”

　After saying that, he didn't disturb Ergani's research any further. He turned around and went straight back to Professor Kazel's room, where they continued their discussion until the early hours of the morning before he finally left.

　For the next few days, Dak spent most of his time studying the books that Professor Kazel had brought him.

　Another week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's December 11th, Friday morning again.

　During that week, he not only finished studying all the books Professor Cazell had given him, but also took the time to conduct several experiments. After several failures, he finally succeeded in replicating two new "Red Bloodstained Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir".

　Meanwhile, the structural design for the "Alchemists of the Golden Kingdom" was completed long ago—and in fact, it only took two days.

　This was mainly because Dark had already completed most of the basic concepts himself, and Professor Cazell only needed two days to realize them. Then, adjustments and additions were made to the details, resulting in the final product.

　During this week, Professor Kazel actually spent more time researching the "Albino Destiny Golden Elixir of Immortality" and the "Reddened Bloodstained Golden Elixir of Immortality." He not only observed Dark's ritual process but also conducted the ritual experiment himself.

　Although he ultimately failed to create a usable white medicine through the ritual, he did gain a deeper understanding of it, which clearly greatly helped his research on the Philosopher's Stone.

　Another area of ​​research is the "artificial holy sword." This should be the first project that Ergane has led. She has clearly devoted a great deal of effort to it.

　But once the god of wisdom went all out, terrible things happened. First, the "Evil Eye Demon Sword" was torn to pieces the very next morning after he acquired it.

　Next was the "God of War Sheath," which wasn't dismantled, but it was also...

　It was repeatedly filled with all sorts of things, from the inner main body to the outer part, and finally the "Blood Holy Sword"... It could not escape its fate.

　Dak wasn't there that day, but I heard Victoria was.

　I wonder if she cried when she saw the "Blood Holy Sword," which she had kept for so long and was reluctant to use, reduced to pieces.

　I just hope the research on that "artificial holy sword" will actually succeed. If it does, a one-for-ten trade would be a huge profit...

　At eight o'clock that morning, after reading the intelligence documents that Ellie had handed him the night before, Dark sighed slightly and got up to go to the secret laboratory.

　Today, Ergani will be conducting a very crucial experiment in the laboratory, and he wants to observe it to provide a reference for his future research.

　As for what the intelligence documents said...

　It's nothing more than a few things that happened in the kingdom during this period. Among them, the most important thing to pay attention to is the movements of the "evil god".

　Several days after the "evil god" revealed his true colors, the Holy Church finally tracked down the location of the "evil god" by following the traces left by Blangus.

　If it were just the "evil god" on his own, it would be impossible for him to be discovered so quickly.

　But it actually carried Blangos.

　As an ordinary human being who is at most somewhat ruthless, Brangus still needs to eat, excrete, and sleep.

　Even though the "evil god" used his power to cover up his whereabouts after he was targeted, the traces he left behind would not disappear.

　The Church traced the trail he left behind, calculated their direction of travel and speed of movement, and then built models to make predictions.

　Ultimately, this predictive method was used to determine several locations, and then reconnaissance and defenses were deployed at those locations in advance.

　Finally, they discovered the approaching "evil god" and Blangus at one of the locations.

　It was at this time that the full picture of him and his brother came to light!

　It was a creature that looked exactly like a young black goat!

　This does not refer to the "Black Goat Child" from the Cthulhu Mythos. Rather, it is indeed a goat child that is entirely black—at least its head is identical.

　Below its slender, snake-like neck was a body that resembled a lump, covered with many black, vine-like tentacles, each tipped with blade-shaped keratin of varying lengths.

　Its lower body has legs like a human's, but below the ankles are goat hooves.

　The Church has temporarily named it the "Black Goat Evil God".

　At that time, the "Black Goat God" floated behind Blangs' head; its body was not large. However, it was shrouded in thick black mist, causing it to disappear into the darkness.

　Two of its tentacles were raised in mid-air, their tips piercing the sides of Brangus's brain, from which blood dripped intermittently.

　Blangus, on the other hand, had a blank and foolish expression.

Chapter 1385 Darkdemon and the God of Wisdom

　Dark saw the photo in the intelligence documents and was almost fooled by the image.

　But in reality, Bron Guss was not controlled by the "Black Goat God".

　Even in subsequent battle records, it was actually Bronger who acted as the "brain".

　The "Black Goat Evil God" seemed to be attached to him, and was completely under his command.

　From an intelligence perspective...

　The "Black Goat God" and Bron Guss are in a very strange symbiotic relationship.

　Brown Guts provides "reason" to the "Black Goat God," while the "Black Goat God" provides "power" to Brown Guts.

　As for why Brongus was able to coexist with the "Black Goat God" who killed his entire family, only God knows.

　Perhaps it's because he was inherently wicked.

　Perhaps it was because he was "hypnotically induced".

　Or perhaps it was because he harbored a goal he wanted to achieve even more than the revenge for killing his entire family.

　In short, for the Holy Church, neither reason matters.

　They had absolutely no curiosity about the "Black Goat God" or about Bron Gus.

　Their sole purpose is purification! Purification of all beings, whether human or evil!

　Regrettably.

　Dark flipped directly to the last page of the document, only to find that their purification operation had ultimately failed.

　The Holy Church's formation was meticulous, and their prepared firepower was far beyond their capabilities. However, the one thing they hadn't anticipated was that the "Black Goat Evil God" was able to break through their field's sealing barrier and teleport over an extremely long distance. By the time the Holy Church confirmed its escape direction from the traces left by the teleportation and tracked it down to its escape location, it had already vanished thousands of miles away.

　This result immediately weighed heavily on the hearts of the Holy Church members. They had expended enormous manpower and resources, and even suffered numerous injuries, yet ultimately failed to purify the evil god—a truly devastating loss.

　After this failed capture operation, the various forces finally learned why the "Black Goat Evil God" had appeared in that city.

　—It holds the authority over the space class!

　The information that Dak obtained already included the Duke's deductions regarding this situation.

　The Duke's Mansion believed that although the "Black Goat Evil God" possessed spatial authority, he himself was unable to precisely control it.

　Its disappearance from the cult's base was likely not due to its own will.

　Its spatial authority, like itself, is most likely incomplete and fragmented.

　The out-of-control spatial authority eventually caused it to randomly teleport to various places. In addition, its inherent ability to cut off aura made it impossible for major forces to pinpoint its location.

　The Holy Church was able to find it this time not only because it was with Bron Gus, but also because it obtained the ability to stabilize spatial authority from Bron Gus's body.

　Otherwise, if it continues to teleport randomly due to being out of control, it will be impossible to find it.
