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

　The outcome is already decided.

　The students of the House of Nobles held their heads high with pride.

　The students of the Knights Academy looked dejected.

　Doron asked curiously, "How can you find magical chess pieces in a secret passage?"

　Dark said nonchalantly, "Who knows?"

　He placed the last chess piece, closed the chess box, and said to Robert, "See you tomorrow."

　"See you tomorrow," Robert replied, suddenly feeling much better.

　Then both of them took their leave.

　The students of the Noble Academy crowded around Dark as he walked out of the classroom, and as soon as they stepped outside, they erupted in cheers, as excited as if they had won a battle.

　Soldier.

　The Knights Academy students who remained in the classroom were very bored.

　Suddenly, someone said, "There's no way around it, that vampire's pawn is just too strong!"

　The atmosphere immediately eased.

　Then someone sighed and said, "Yes, we can't blame Robert. After all, it was a chess piece found in a secret passage, just like a treasure."

　The boys from the Knights College spoke up, some comforting Robert, others comforting themselves, and gradually the atmosphere became lively again.

　As for the comments mixed in, such as "Even if the excessive strength of that piece accounts for 99% of the reason, doesn't Robert also have 1% to blame?", they were selectively ignored.

　Surrounded by others, Robert felt a sense of reintegration into the group and suddenly realized that this defeat was not entirely unacceptable.

　On the contrary, Witt seemed like an outsider beside him.

　That night.

　Dark declined Doron's invitation to play and quickly returned to his dormitory.

　Overall, this match, with Robert's cooperation, achieved unexpected results.

　Not only did they spread the existence of the chess piece "Vampire Vlad," but they also linked it to the secret passage.

　The key point is that it's not something that's obvious; it requires some in-depth investigation to obtain.

　This works very well.

　"In short, the bait has been laid, now we just have to wait and see when the fish will take the bait!"

　Dark put the Magic Chess into the drawer and didn't intend to have much contact with it again.

　For products like these that are more entertainment-oriented, it's best to just try them out briefly.

　Then he calmed down and continued to fill in the content of the teaching materials.

　The night deepened.

　The lights were reddish.

　Dak did not feel sleepy and became even more serious.

　Cultivating mental strength is beneficial for refining one's will.

　Otherwise, he would have found it difficult to maintain such focus for such a long time as he does today.

　"Busy!"

　The Ditto, which had somehow climbed onto the table, gently poked Dark's shoulder with its tentacles.

　Dark paused slightly, then turned to look at it: "What's wrong?"

　"Busy!"

　Ditto yelled again, then turned around, picked up the trash slime behind him, and put it on top of his head.

　Dark looked up and saw the trash slime on its head, which also had a magic card on its head.

　That would naturally be the [Meow Meow] magic card.

　However, next to the [Meow Meow] Magic Card, there was a small copper coin.

　"copper"

　Dark jumped up and down, then reached out and took the copper coin off the head of the trash slime.

　Where did this come from?

　Dark held the coin between two fingers and shone it up in the magic light.

　The coin is round in shape with seven small holes in the center, each surrounded by star-like patterns.

　Both positive and negative.

　The copper coin has rust marks on its surface, indicating that it is quite old.

　But it feels very different from Emma's ancient gold coins, and it's unclear which era it's from.

　Dark then looked at the cat in the magic card and suddenly noticed that the cat was crossing its arms and tilting its head back high.

　Ba is facing outwards.

　This is completely different from its usual behavior of its eyes lighting up when it sees something good.

　Dark examined it closely, then a thought suddenly struck him: "Could this be the additional effect of the [Treasure Gathering Skill]—[Attracting Wealth and Treasure]?"

　Once the thought crossed his mind, Darke could no longer sit still.

　He looked down at Ditto and asked, "How did it appear?"

　Busy, busy.

　Ditto immediately started dancing with joy.

　It took Dak a long time to understand what it meant.

　It suddenly appeared at my feet while I was taking care of the baby.

　However, it can only take care of the baby inside the dormitory, and naturally, there is no such thing inside the dormitory.

　So it really appeared out of thin air.

　Dak was pleasantly surprised.

　That "Attracting Wealth and Treasure" item is actually a type of "Heavenly Treasure"!

　If this had happened in the past, he definitely wouldn't have believed such a thing.

　But this is a world where true gods exist, possessing a technology called "real projection" that seems to create things out of thin air.

　That means almost limitless possibilities.

　What's more, this is Saint Marian, an ancient castle situated on the axis of time and space!

　I just don't know what the trigger conditions are for [Attracting Wealth and Treasure].

　Is it based on time, location, or completely random?

　If not in Saint Marian, can it still be triggered?

　What kinds of treasures can be summoned out of thin air?

　These are all points that need to be studied in detail.

　"However, for now, it's more reliable to study the value of this copper coin first."

　Dark smiled slightly, then summoned [Meow Meow] and gave it time to move around freely, purely as a reward.

　"Meow!

　The summoned cat meowed triumphantly, then ignored the hopeful-looking slime and went to the dormitory.

　The dormitory began to sway.

　Cats have a habit of leaving their scent in their territory.

　When Gatomon was first summoned, it was the first place it inspected.

　Meow Meow just never had the chance.

　Soon, its eyes lit up, and among the twelve small beds against the wall, it found the one with the "Meow Meow" sign hanging on it—on the bed...

　There is also a complete set of bedding.

　That was of course prepared by Dark beforehand.

　He had originally prepared twelve sets of bedding, keeping two as spares. Meow Meow was the eleventh magical spirit.

　However, after bouncing around on the crib a couple of times, Meow Meow's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the gold and silver decorations displayed in the cabinet.

　Attracted

　Meows are creatures that have almost no immunity to round, shiny things.

　What's more, this "meow meow" is the embodiment of "greed"!

　"Meow--"

　(If only all that gold and silver could be turned into cushions.)

　While Meow Meow was trying to adapt to the environment, Dak had already discovered the origin of the copper coin in a book he had borrowed long ago—an astronomy book called "Deciphering the Stars"!

　After carefully examining the copper coin, he identified the book "Decoding the Stars" based on a very superficial impression, and quickly found the relevant page by flipping through it!

　The book happens to have a picture of the same type of copper coin, and the seven small holes on that coin are very distinctive.

　"The Seven Star Coins, which originated from the ancient Sky City, are described in only half a page."

　But even this half-page allowed Dark to glean some insights.

　After carefully examining it, he immediately took the seven-star coin and went to the balcony.

　Then open the balcony window guard to let the moonlight stream in.

　The bright moonlight shone on the seven-star coin, and the moonlight, passing through the seven holes, cast an image on the wall.

　The image formed by light was actually a star array!

　A star array diagram with seven main stars.

　It depicts the starry sky of that era.

　The special symbols engraved among the stars give it a mysterious power.

　According to "Starry Sky Deciphering", this was originally supposed to be a kind of anti-counterfeiting authentication for Seven Star Coins.

　However, as the constellations gradually changed, this star chart also underwent subtle changes.

　Time and history have endowed the Seven Star Coin with a mysterious effect.

　Those who carry the Seven Star Coins can see the trajectory of the stars more clearly!

　This means that it will be a very rare divination aid.

　Dak's mind stirred slightly, and he gained a vague understanding.

　This unexpectedly acquired Seven Star Coin might be used as a material for crafting magical spirits, just like ancient gold coins.

　However, if we look to the future, it would be better to give it to Eevee Jr.

　So he found a thread, threaded it through one of the holes in the seven-star coin, made it into an ornament, and then put it on Little Yi.

　On the neck of the cloth.

　“Hee-ee-ee——”

　Eevee rubbed against his hand and made a cheerful noise.

　This also attracted the attention of the other magical spirits.

　The atmosphere in the dormitory underwent a subtle change.

　Even the little cat, rolling around on its crib, couldn't help but look over, staring intently at the seven-star coin that originally belonged to it.

　Its eyes gleamed, as if it wanted to pounce on it immediately and snatch it back!

　Around 11 o'clock, Dark put every magical elf except Meow Meow into the crib, covered them with blankets, and then went to sleep.

　As for Meow Meow, it has already been returned to the Magic Cards.
