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

　There was no other way but to go back.

　When he arrived at Professor Sylph's office, there were already other people inside.

　He knocked on the door and found that it was indeed Professor Cazell.

　Professor Cazell looked quite relaxed, which suggested that today's events were not urgent.

　A faint floral scent wafted through the office.

　It has a refreshing and soothing feeling.

　Dak walked into the office and closed the door behind him.

　He then sat down next to Professor Cazell, glancing at the man behind his desk who was frantically grading papers.

　Professor Sylph, a professional in the field, said, "Is there something you want to say to me?"

　Professor Cazell poured him some tea, then moved the plate of snacks over before saying, "It's nothing serious. You yesterday..."

　I thought it was a good thing that I talked to Sylph about the access card last night.

　Dark seemed to understand something, and then said, "Could it be that Principal Arte has agreed?"

　Professor Cazell smiled and said, "I agree, but the specifics haven't been decided yet."

　Dark picked up his teacup, removed the lid, blew on it a few times, and said, "Indeed, this is not something that can be solved quickly."

　This is a matter to be decided. The design and function of the access cards, how they will be distributed, the quantity to be distributed, and who they will be distributed to.

　These are all points that need to be carefully considered.

　Professor Cazell said, "Principal Arte means that the access cards should ideally be made in the same style as the college cards, which not only..."

　Enough to receive notifications from the school, and

　Furthermore, it can be bound to the user, and it would be best to also include the "Secret Realm Escape Device" function.

　Dac: "Real-name access card system"

　"Real-name registration," Professor Cazell nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea. In short, it means that each access card can only be associated with one person. By checking the access card usage records, we can know who has entered the secret passage. This will make it easier to trace responsibility for any problems that arise later."

　Dark: "If it has a secret escape device function, the security will be more guaranteed."

　Kaze

　Professor Er said, "That's absolutely right. We don't want to see anyone else get trapped in the secret passages because they're lost."

　Dark: "But wouldn't that make the manufacturing process for the access cards extremely advanced?"

　Professor Cazell smiled: "The high barrier to entry in manufacturing processes makes it less likely to be counterfeited. Furthermore, the number of access cards..."

　It's best to issue as few as possible. Especially in the early stages of the experimental testing, issuing only two cards should suffice. Also, as you said, we need to set a threshold for obtaining the access card. The principal's idea is that since this is within the academy, we should use the academy's rules to determine who gets it!

　"I was somewhat surprised that the decisive battle was won by Dak."

　Is Principal Arte also a dueling strategist?

　But Professor Cazell continued, "Competing through a duel is perfectly fair and reasonable, and it won't seem deliberate. Since the invisible man wants to enter the secret passage, he should find a way to do it himself or let someone else compete for it! If he chooses to steal or rob after the competition, that would be just as good."

　Ultimately, the original purpose of the access card was to lure out the enemy.

　Compared to any "key" that can break through barriers, a "door card" is clearly more credible.

　Regarding the grade gap, Professor Cazell also considered it: "The initial plan is to issue two access cards first, and then in the third year—"

　Zhang, grades 4-3 - Zhang. You can also compete for it if you want.

　Darke stared, his mouth agape, feeling as if he'd shot himself in the foot: "This means that if I want a key card, I'll have to compete with second and third-year students."

　Professor Cazell blinked: "Experience is experience, too."

　Dark: "Okay."

　Professor Cazell: "Of course, it's still in the planning stage. While the initial goal was to bring out the invisible man, this matter..."

　The matter itself also helps the academy manage the secret passages, and it can be effectively implemented. However, once access cards are started being issued, the initial intention...

　It would just be a side effect. Alternatively, we could spread the word first; someone might just come and steal it from me.

　Dark: "Hopefully."

　That's roughly the situation right now.

　Even if adjustments are made afterward, the changes should not be significant.

　In short, Dark found that he had to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​entering the secret passage at this age.

　The third grade is full of hidden talents, and the chances of getting the access card from them are extremely slim.

　Instead of pinning our hopes on this, we should wait for the access cards to be issued later.

　The school can't possibly issue only two access cards.

　There will be many more opportunities to come.

　Dac himself had anticipated the distribution of access cards.

　Ideally, that would be the case.

　Having a key card is a symbol of being an "elite".

　The number of people is not large, but it won't be small either.

　These individuals possess a high degree of self-control and the ability to cope with danger, enabling them to make beneficial use of the secret passage once inside.

　After a cup of tea.

　Professor Sylph also stopped writing and joined the discussion between the two.

　Later, they even started discussing the design and style of the access cards, almost forgetting about the "invisible man" altogether.

　The professors' thinking is sometimes truly imaginative and highly creative.

　Dark benefited greatly from simply engaging in discussions with them that were unrelated to magical technology.

　By the time I left the office, it was already getting dark.

　Dak did not go to Traveller Street again, but instead used the evening to finish his homework.

　He didn't have time to travel until Wednesday the following day, and began a large-scale shopping spree.

　Now his college credit card has a full 50,000 credits, and he's really living the life of a "rich and powerful" man.

　Road.

　Therefore, when he passed by the goblin-run antiquated bookstore, he couldn't help but stop.

　Then look again: "Isn't that Angela, my senior?"

Chapter 324 Darkdemon's Artistic Journey (4k)

　[Image: Angela (reference)]

　In the quiet and tidy street lined with bookstores, this goblin-themed bookstore, which looks like it's been pieced together from a few rotten pieces of wood, stands out unusually.

　格格不入。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　An old goblin with skin so wrinkled it could trap a fly, wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket with exposed wadding, clutching an equally worn-out notebook.

　The books were loudly advertised, making it seem more like a general store than a bookstore.

　Fortunately, the students were used to it. After choosing a book, they would wipe the dirt off the cover and make do with it.

　Most books in the bookstore can be bought for just one or two credits, and even the slightly more expensive ones are only about ten credits.

　But Dark often heard people say that the books in this goblin antiquated bookstore were especially expensive.

　Some rare books used for auction can even fetch over a hundred credits.

　Clearly, this is a place where only true book lovers, or perhaps people with a surplus of academic credits, would come to browse for books.

　Dac wasn't actually that fond of books, so he had never visited before.

　But Angela Hudson was a regular at the Goblin Antique Bookstore.

　Especially recently, with the availability of a way to earn academic credits, she has been coming even more frequently.

　Therefore, it was hardly a coincidence that Dak met her here.

　However, the two didn't actually have much interaction, so Dark didn't take the initiative to strike up a conversation; he simply walked into the bookstore in a very casual manner.

　shop.

　Unlike the hustle and bustle at the entrance, the bookstore was relatively quiet inside, with a faint scent of wood permeating the air.

　The shop assistant with drooping ears at the counter wasn't a goblin, but a woman from the Long-Eared Tribe.

　Aside from having long, hairy ears that droop down to their shoulders, they are a subhuman race without any other distinguishing features.

　They are the so-called long-eared tribe.

　When Dak entered the store, the long-eared woman was pulling her long ears down and placing them under her chin, completely covering both sides of her face. She was lying on the table, staring outside with lifeless, dejected eyes.

　I don't know if it's because it's too noisy or too cold.

　It was the first time Dak had ever seen a living, breathing long-eared tribesman, so he couldn't help but take a second look, and then he was glared at!

　"She seems to be a young lady with a rather bad temper."

　With that in mind, he walked over to the bookshelf with the "Art" sign and began browsing casually.

　Since he was already there, he still wanted to find some useful books.

　Within the "Art" category, books related to paintings make up the majority, but there are also some related to sculpture.

　His main focus was on carving, preferably wood carving.

　A few minutes later, he found a thick book with the keyword "wood carving" in its title at the bottom of the bookshelf, so he squatted down and pulled it out to check.

　Look.

　With some effort, he pulled the book out. Then, as he stood up, he shook it vigorously, and surprisingly, it came out...

　Large swaths of dust.

　It's clear that this book has been sitting on the bottom shelf for more than a year or two.

　After brushing the dust off the book cover, Dak carefully looked at the title and read it aloud: "The Art of Wood Carving in Vandi is a..."

　Darke blinked involuntarily.

　I do know a bit about Van Gogh; he was a painter of sunflowers.

　But this Brahma

　"He was a famous performance artist during the war; I didn't know he could also sculpt by hand."

　A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind my ear.

　Dark turned his head slightly and saw that Angelia had walked up to him from behind and asked casually, "Are you interested in wood carving?"

　Dark smiled and said, "A little. Senior Hudson, it's a pleasure to meet you."

　But Angela, the senior student, reached out and tugged at her overly long bangs, saying expressionlessly, "You didn't think that way when you saw me just now, did you?"

　Dark paused slightly, but his expression remained natural: "Not at all, I just didn't want to disturb my senior. Come to think of it, this Vandi isn't a sculptor, but a performance artist?"

　“Whether he’s a sculptor or not, I don’t know, but he’s definitely a performance artist,” Angelia nodded and said. “Otherwise, have you ever seen a madman running around naked and laughing on a battlefield littered with corpses after a fierce battle?”

　Dak looked down at "Vandi's Wood Carving Art" and replied, "In fact, I've never even seen a battlefield."

　Angelia picked up the book in her hand and glanced sideways at his hands.

　Dac then turned to "The Art of Wood Carving in Vandi".

　Page 1 contains repeated book titles, authors, and a quote from the author.

　"There is nothing more beautiful than the human form. Therefore, we attribute the human form to our gods."

　"It doesn't sound like something a crazy person who likes to go naked would say."

　Looking at the line of text, Dak felt that it made sense.

　The form of gods is uncertain; many gods can even freely switch between multiple forms.
