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

　If the child is conceived by her and Dak, it will most likely inherit a higher purity of dragon blood.

　Therefore, it's best to inform them in advance.

　In any case, both of them are already of childbearing age.

　Who knows when they might secretly cross that line behind her back, their mother's back, and bear forbidden fruit.

　"It suddenly occurred to me that humans seem to have pushed back the age of adulthood to sixteen."

　“Yes, I used to be fourteen,” Dark said.

　Hephaestus paused for a moment, then blurted out instinctively, "It's nothing. Roland and I were pregnant out of wedlock back then too."

Chapter 1411 A Thousand Miles Alone (4k)

　Pregnancy before marriage and pregnancy underage are not the same thing.

　Dark intended to offer a reminder, but then he noticed that Pandora was sitting right across from him, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

　So the conversation ended there.

　The two began to talk about their respective travel plans.

　Having stayed up all night, Dak occasionally showed signs of fatigue. Pandora noticed this and quickened her eating pace.

　So, not long after, the three of them finished their breakfast and headed out of the cafeteria.

　“My luggage is ready, let’s head straight to the Dragon Training Platform,” Pandora said with a smile as they left the cafeteria.

　She was glad that Dak came to see her off, but unfortunately she left first and couldn't see Dak off.

　But perhaps this is a case of "you can't have your cake and eat it too".

　That's life in general; if you want to gain something, you have to give something up. You can never have it both ways.

　Pandora has always had a profound understanding of this, perhaps even an excessive one.

　The three quickly arrived at the Dragon Training Platform, leaving Pandora and Hephaestus's luggage aside. But there was no carriage or dragon on the platform.

　—Of course not.

　What dragon can fly faster than the white dragon?

　Pandora summoned the "Sky Dragon," and then rode on its back with her mother.

　The "Sky White Dragon" had also awakened its intelligence, and after being summoned, it affectionately nuzzled its head against Dark's face.

　Dak patted its head and couldn't help but smile. "We're about to set off."

　On the dragon's back, Pandora bowed her head and said, "Then goodbye."

　Dark raised his hand and waved gently. "Hope to see you again soon."

　Pandora raised her hand in response, her smile gradually brightening.

　Then came a soft dragon's roar, and the "Sky White Dragon" soared into the sky.

　The academy's barrier opened, and the white dragon carried the two of them out quickly, disappearing from sight in no time.

　Professor Sylph, who was watching from afar, yawned and then closed the barrier. Her figure then vanished into the wind.

　I reckon they've gone back to sleep.

　Dark stood there for a while, then returned to his dormitory alone. He had already packed up and was just waiting to retrieve the magical spirits and the "Paradise" magic cards. Then he would hand the key to Rose for safekeeping, and then he could set off.

　As for the flowers, plants, chicks, and birds left at the academy, he didn't need to worry about them.

　Therefore, about half an hour later, Professor Sylph reappeared on the dragon-training platform.

　She rarely gets a day off, and she drank a bit too much at the Christmas party last night, so she planned to sleep in a few more hours this morning. It wasn't until the alarm rang that she suddenly remembered to get up and open the door.

　When they opened the door for the first time, they discovered that Dark and Pandora's departure times had been different!

　As the vice principal, she certainly couldn't get angry over such a trivial matter. So, after returning to her dormitory, she sent Dak twelve messages in a row, finally urging him to leave.

　"We're leaving, we're leaving now."

　Dak dragged the suitcase onto the carriage, summoned "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit," handed the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" to it to drive, and then slipped into the carriage.

　Diana and Rose hid behind and chuckled.

　The two of them actually wanted to go along, but Dak refused.

　But if they can't go to the front lines, can't they at least manage logistics?

　They vowed to raise the little guhuo bird to be plump and healthy.

　After putting away his luggage, Darke opened the car window, leaned out, and waved goodbye to Professor Sylph, Diana, and Rose.

　Then, with the three of them watching, they left St. Marian Academy in the "Moon Goddess Chariot".

　Goodbye! Goodbye! — Smooth sailing!

　The sound of the wind dispersed the voices, and the carriage rushed out of the barrier.

　Dark Dimon finally left the academy and appeared above the town. He glanced back, thinking that this was his first time traveling alone.

　But he didn't seem lonely at all. That's only natural.

　After all, his magical spirit will always be by his side.

　"In the name of Dark Dimon, I offer a sacrificial summon—'Fat Sweetie'!" After summoning "Fat Sweetie" through a sacrificial summon, Dark began to summon other magical spirits.

　Soon, small-sized magical Pokémon such as "Devimon", "Magical Book", "Eevee", "Sylveon", "Gittomon", "Shaymin", "Mind's Eye", "Renamon" and so on were all summoned back.

　Although the carriage of the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" is fairly spacious, it cannot accommodate too many magical spirits.

　After summoning a few at random, Dak had "Fat Sweetie" release a sweet fragrance, creating an aromatic zone inside the carriage.

　Then he hugged his pillow, lay down on the bench, and fell asleep. He fell asleep quickly and peacefully.

　Seeing that Dark quickly fell asleep, the magical elves exchanged glances and immediately sprang into action.

　"Gi-Oh!" pulled a map out of its suitcase, walked directly out of the carriage, and sat down next to "Fairy Tale Animal? Small Animal".

　Sylveon trotted to Dark's side and extended two ribbons to stop on either side of his body to prevent him from being injured by the sudden swaying of the carriage.

　Meanwhile, Sylveon gently hopped onto the bench and lay down at Dark's feet.

　"Devimon" paced around the table twice, then suddenly summoned "Spellbook," using it to summon...

　More magical spirits appeared.

　However, they are all low-star magical spirits that can be summoned using normal summoning spells.

　As a result, the space inside the carriage became increasingly cramped.

　They huddled around the windows, crowded outside the doors, and even climbed onto the roof of the carriage, chirping and twittering as they watched the scenery rushing past on the ground.

　After the carriage calibrated its course and flew high in the sky for a while, the magical spirit's "restless heart" gradually calmed down.

　Magical sprites began rummaging through suitcases to find books to read.

　There was also a magical spirit that made the "magical secretary" display his class notes, and he actually started studying right there in the train carriage.

　This extremely unsociable behavior immediately put enormous pressure on the other magical spirits.

　As a result, more magical spirits joined the ranks of those reading and learning.

　Eight hours later.

　Darkdemon opened his eyes and woke up. It was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

　He felt the hunger in his stomach and glanced at the magical elves inside the carriage.

　Suddenly the space felt smaller.

　Then, as if there was a delay, it was discovered that even more magical spirits had been summoned.

　Then, the sight of the magical elves reading and studying moved him deeply.

　"mum!"

　Sylveon put away its ribbon and jumped into his arms.

　Dinner and supper were both eaten in the carriage.

　The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" flew towards the City of Freedom at top speed without stopping.

　At 1 a.m., Dark fell asleep smoothly thanks to the "devil hypnosis" of "Little Devimon".

　When I woke up again this time, it was just sunrise.

　He pulled up his collar, stepped out of the carriage, sat down next to the "Fairy Tale Animal Rabbit," and gazed at the rising sun on the horizon, his mind gradually calming down.

　Two more hours passed.

　After having breakfast with the magical elves in the carriage, Dark was already able to see the outline of the City of Freedom.

　Since there was no news of Principal Arte's return when he left the academy yesterday, he wasn't particularly worried.

　The power gathered in the City of Freedom is unprecedented. If even this power can't handle the situation, adding another person wouldn't make much difference.

　He chose to attend in person because he was at the academy and found it difficult to feel at ease.

　In addition, there is a concern that after Christmas, all parties may become complacent, giving lurking enemies an opportunity to take advantage.

　After all, their achievements around Christmas can be described as "fruitful".

　The Holy Church has likely dealt with far more demon remnants and evil organization members in the past decade or so since the war than in the last two days combined.

　—Perhaps in quantity, they surpass it, but in quality, they are probably incomparable. After all, how could an evil organization of the past summon an evil god?

　Those members of the Holy Church who participated in the battles of the past two days will surely be credited with a great service within the church, and promotions and raises are just around the corner.

　After achieving such fruitful results, it is actually difficult for the members of all parties to calm down.

　The first day after Christmas may still require maintaining the highest level of vigilance.

　But if nothing happens on this day, they will definitely relax their guard on the next. Besides, they can't stay in the Free City forever.

　Even Principal Arte could only stay a few more days at most. She made her move secretly on Christmas Eve; it's unknown whether she was exposed.

　If the other party has discovered her presence, they have likely already alerted the enemy.

　So, nothing too big might happen on Christmas Day.

　Of course, all of the above are just speculation.

　Dak did not receive any information about Christmas Day.

　Adding to yesterday's day spent on the trip, we're missing information for two days.

　Anything could happen in two long days. He looked in the direction of the City of Freedom and narrowed his eyes slightly.

　Another half hour later.

　The "Moon Chariot" appeared outside the City of Freedom.

　Dak chose to land outside the city and enter by carriage from the city gate. Guards were registering information at the gate, but there wasn't a particularly strict check.

　Dak sat in front of the carriage, placed the "Fairy Tale Animal Bunny" on his lap, and pretended to be driving the carriage. He passed through the city gate very smoothly.

　This level of scrutiny does seem far too lax during this particular period.

　But this is the city of freedom.

　Relaxed, free, and unrestrained.

　If these things are lost, the city of freedom will lose its foundation.

　Upon entering the City of Freedom, Dark did not immediately head to the City Lord's Mansion, but instead slowly made his way along the streets.

　As he walked, he activated his spiritual power, and the emotions of the people around him were reflected in his perception.

　Although there were some dark moments mixed in, the overall picture was positive. This suggests that no major events affecting the public likely occurred on December 25th and 26th, the two periods of information gap.

　Dak's mind became increasingly calm.

　He sometimes wonders if he worries too much. But worrying too much is better than regretting it later.

　So he'll continue to worry. Of course, it's best if nothing happens. World peace, everyone healthy and well. Who wouldn't want that?

　Dak gradually regained his composure

　With spiritual power, he began to observe the entire city of freedom from the perspective of a traveler.
