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

　When he arrived at the shop, he took the food to the inner room, set it on the table, and had the maids take turns eating.

　Several of the new maids who weren't very familiar with him were still a little reserved. But Josie and Nana were already eating freely.

　Dark waved to the maids, then told two corny jokes, just like Professor Cazell, which successfully livened up the atmosphere.

　After a pleasant dinner, Dak had Nana list the items they had bought that day before taking everything and leaving the branch.

　After he left the branch, Nana was grabbed and roughly rubbed by Josie, and the store was immediately filled with laughter.

　Dac was unaware of this.

　Because he had bought too much stuff at once, he had to travel through the teleportation hub multiple times before he could get all his items to the lakeside pavilion inside St. Mary's College.

　Next, he summoned a "Fairy Beast," used a "Fairy Barrier" for remote teleportation, and then created an aerial platform outside his dormitory balcony for teleportation. He then placed the teleported items onto the balcony one by one.

　Soon, the balcony was transformed into a warehouse, piled high with gifts of all sizes.

　Looking at the long list of items, Dak couldn't help but sigh again.

　I said I wouldn't buy any more, but I still bought so much.

　"Leave the gift wrapping to the magic elf."

　He turned and went into the bedroom, placing the books on the desk.

　After thinking for a moment, I took out "Goblin Worship" and started reading.

Chapter 1393 Darkdemon's Long-Awaited Magical Transformation (4k)

　Goblin Worship.

　This book, whose very unique title suggests, was a Christmas gift from the goblin boss to Professor Kazel.

　Professor Kazel is a hybrid of goblin and human, so it's quite normal that he's an old acquaintance of the owner of the goblin antique bookstore.

　Judging from the goblin boss's reaction, the relationship between the two of them probably isn't very good.

　However, considering the hierarchy of discrimination between pure-blooded and mixed-race individuals, it seems quite normal.

　That's why Dark felt it necessary to read the contents of the book before considering whether to hand it over to Professor Cazell.

　He opened the book and found it was a work written by an anthropologist. It observed goblins from a human perspective, explaining their racial characteristics and customs.

　Because of its witty and humorous writing style, it's surprisingly quite enjoyable.

　Dak read through it all in one go, and when he stopped, he had already flipped through more than a third of the content.

　He yawned slightly, then put the book down and pondered for a moment.

　This book, *Goblin Worship*, not only describes the racial characteristics of goblins but also provides a very detailed study of the history of their "beliefs." Although modern goblins may give the impression of being entirely "robot enthusiasts," they actually had a period of ignorance.

　When gods exist, one believes in them. Even when gods do not exist, one still believes in them.

　However, as time passed since the gods disappeared, the goblins, who were naturally inclined to think and study, gradually discovered the emptiness of their "belief in the gods."

　Then, in an atheistic era, they found a substitute for "gods".

　That is, in the eyes of most intelligent life, a little fairy who also possesses incredible power!

　"If what this book says is true, did goblins once worship goblins?"

　Dak reopened the book and continued reading.

　He realized he seemed to have figured out why the goblin boss had given the book to Professor Cazell as a Christmas present.

　Throughout history, goblins have indeed worshipped goblins, regarding them as gods, and practicing faith in, sacrifice to, and even imitating them.

　Fairies are an extremely long-lived race and possess very mysterious powers.

　They are learned because of their longevity, and great because of their mystery.

　There were many races that worshipped goblins in the past, and goblins were just one of them.

　But Dark suspected that the goblin boss had something in mind.

　Perhaps due to his modern mindset, he couldn't quite tell whether the goblin boss was trying to comfort Professor Kazel or mock him.

　So he hesitated again about whether to hand the book over to Professor Cazell.

　"Let's take a look first."

　Think so.

　He actually spent an entire night reading the whole book, "Goblin Worship".

　After watching it, it was truly breathtaking.

　Putting the content aside, this book is very well written. The writing style alone is very captivating.

　After reading everything, Dark discovered that the worship of goblins had lasted for a very long time, and even now some goblins still retain this belief.

　Of all the races that have ever worshipped goblins, goblins are most likely the ones whose faith has lasted the longest and is the most devout.

　According to the anthropologist, this is most likely because goblins and ghouls share physical similarities.

　The "physical similarity" mentioned here generally refers to height, height, height, and height.

　Because although the little fairy is petite, her body proportions are perfect.

　Goblins, on the other hand, tend to be short and stocky, meaning they have large heads and short legs.

　However, it is precisely because of their flaws that the worship of the "perfect" arises. Many years ago, some goblin scholars even believed that goblins were a superior race of goblins.

　Although this conjecture was soon refuted, there were still quite a few goblins who held similar ideas.

　So, it's practically a tradition for goblins to fall for fairies. After learning all this, Dark realized that the goblin boss's gift of "Goblin Worship" to Professor Kazel was mostly intended as a form of consolation.

　"Since it's a kind gesture, it's no problem to deliver it on your behalf."

　"However, we'll have to wait until Christmas."

　Dac does have a certain sense of ritual in this regard.

　After washing up, he sat on the bed and opened another book.

　That was the book "Mind Palace" recommended by the goblin boss.

　Compared to the dry but humorous "Goblin Worship," "The Palace of Mind" is a complete "bedtime read."

　Reading this book is like reading a math book. Dak actually fell asleep while reading it!

　This has become a rare occurrence since his mental strength has increased significantly.

　Who would have thought that the power of the Mind Palace was so great! Seeing that Dark had fallen asleep while reading, and Sylveon, who was also staring at the book while snuggled up in his blanket, carefully extended its ribbon antennae and gently moved Dark down from a half-sitting position to a lying position, and then pulled the blanket up properly.

　As for the book "The Palace of Mind," it was bookmarked and placed on the other side of the bedside table.

　Then, Sylveon closed its eyes and fell asleep.

　As the light from the magic lamp faded, the bedroom fell completely silent. Gradually, sleepiness enveloped the room.

　An hour or two later, the book "The Palace of Mind" gradually began to emit a white light.

　The light shone on Dak's head, but it seemed to be sucked away, and then disappeared in a short while.

　Just after a little over an hour of deep sleep, Dak suddenly entered a huge palace from his dream!

　The palace was empty, with nothing but four enormous pillars. He stood in the palace, bewildered, and it took him a long time to realize that he was dreaming.

　Then, in the next instant, countless lists suddenly appeared before him. Looking at those lists, he suddenly snapped back to reality. From the images in those lists, he immediately realized he had entered the "Palace of Thought"!

　That book, *The Palace of Mind*, was actually a magic book! A magic book is a book used to record magic.

　Because the knowledge of magic is so vast, even relatively difficult spells require an entire book to record.

　Some advanced spellbooks can also aid in learning, making it easier for magicians to learn the spells recorded in them.

　Magicians use those advanced spellbooks as vessels for passing on their knowledge, and the great effort they put into creating them is mostly for the purpose of passing on their own unique magic.

　And that book, *The Palace of Mind*, is clearly this type of magic book.

　"The mental magic 'Mind Palace'!"

　After confirming the situation, Dak couldn't help but think of how kind the goblin boss had been.

　He immediately decided to package "Goblin Cult" in a more luxurious way.

　While a small gift carries great meaning, even a fool knows that gold is more valuable than a feather. Since the goblin boss is already a paying customer, it's essential to keep him satisfied; otherwise, there's no chance for future cooperation.

　As relevant information flooded his mind, Dark gradually grasped the use of the "mind palace".

　It's like a Minecraft game where you can use various preset "tools" in your mind to model a palace and create the palace you ultimately want.

　Using "Mind Palace," you can design not only buildings, but basically all models.

　Dark immediately thought of designing a golem!

　Then, based on the golem, he conceived the idea of ​​designing a giant robot! "This must be the spellbook that the goblins have been dreaming of for so long." "I never expected him to give me something so precious." Dark was overjoyed and immediately began designing 3D city plans for "Magic Kingdom" in the palace.

　He had a plan for the construction of the city in "Magic Heaven", but originally he wanted to design a futuristic city based on modern cities.

　But upon closer reflection, the area of ​​that subspace is infinitely large. As long as a sufficient number of "Sky Pillars" can be provided, multiple cities can be created in different styles.

　Based on the islands, cities with different styles were created, and then these islands were connected to each other by "sky bridges" to form different regions.

　These islands can be in a modern urban style, an ancient Chinese style, or even be subdivided into different areas according to dynasties.

　In short, anything is possible as long as resources are available.

　Under these circumstances, what he needs most right now is an island city that serves as an experiment.

　He should use magic and alchemy techniques to create a "resource recycling system" in this island city, so that "Magic Sky" can remain self-sufficient for a long time even in a closed environment.

　Although the current "Magic Kingdom" consists of magical spirits and a few golems that do not require food, they will naturally develop a need for food once the experiment of "bringing magical spirits to life" is successful.

　Therefore, he needs to build a complete ecosystem.

　However, that's something to consider later. After all, there's still a hurdle in his path called "Luminous Disease."

　For now, we should focus on making reservations and designing the framework.

　The first island of "Magic Heaven" will be temporarily named "Experiment Island".

　early morning.

　Dak woke up looking slightly tired.

　So-called "lucid dreams" are actually a type of light sleep, which can easily make you feel more tired the more you sleep.

　Under normal circumstances, the "mind palace" should be used while the user is awake.

　After spending a night "designing," he gradually realized that he only had a superficial understanding of urban construction. So he decided to finish reading the two architecture books he had bought before considering anything else.

　Once he has mastered the relevant basic knowledge, he can gradually add bricks and tiles to the "mind palace," building the island city he wants from scratch.

　So after breakfast, he started flipping through...

　However, after only two hours, my enthusiasm gradually cooled down... Although "Learning to Build from Scratch" is not as good as "Mind Palace", it is still a top-notch book for hypnosis.

　Dark put the book aside, intending to take a break first. He then picked up the "Iron Hook of Destiny" and began to study how to use it as the core to refine magical spirit cards.

　Although the "Fate Hook" bears the name "Fate," it is actually unrelated to the "Fate Buddha."

　Its prototype is a magical artifact that can hook away the soul, separating the soul and consciousness from the body.

　There are quite a few items with this ability, but the "Hook of Fate" is particularly remarkable because it can hook a person's soul away from thousands of miles away, as if Death itself has called out their name, making it extremely terrifying.

　However, the replica "Hook of Fate" can still hook out souls, but it has become a relatively ordinary tool that requires "contact" to hook out souls.

　Moreover, due to its limited abilities, its power manifests in a very "forceful" way, and the souls it hooks out are usually badly damaged.

　Therefore, we can only resort to using it as a second-best option to hook out mental matter, clear away distracting thoughts, or erase memories.

　After careful examination, Dark discovered that the "Fate Hook" and the "Demon Brain Dropper" were actually different types of items. This thing wasn't suitable as a regular tool; it was more of a "weapon" used against enemies. Therefore, there was no need to keep it; it was better to just forge it!

　Although the "Fate Hook" and the "Brain Dropper" are not the same type, they do have the ability to hook thoughts, so they can still be used as the core to create the "Cosmic Brain Beast".

　However, some adjustments need to be made to the selection of auxiliary materials.

　From preparing to forge the materials to gathering them, Dark spent a total of more than three hours.

　The key to creating the "Cosmic Brain Monster" lies not only in the "Destiny Hook" as the core material, but also in the "Grass Element Seed".

　He has plenty of this stuff; for other auxiliary materials that he doesn't have, he can go directly to the academy's warehouse.

　In addition, "greed" is also necessary.
