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

　Her demeanor was very elegant, and her understanding of etiquette was in no way inferior to that of "Virgin" Vigo.

　He is also very knowledgeable about beauty and makeup, perfumes and jewelry, music and art.

　She has a wide range of knowledge and is very proficient in anything that can enhance a woman's charm.

　Unfortunately, these skills were of no use in the Duke's mansion.

　Even if you dress up beautifully every day, no one will appreciate it.

　Janice, summoned by Dark, had a hint of languor in her eyes.

　Looking at the young master's handsome profile as he intently read, she thought that he might have reached the age of first love.

　Perhaps I can finally put my inner skills, which I have practiced diligently for a long time but have never had the chance to use, to good use.

　“Janice?” Darke’s gaze shifted slightly from “Around the World”.

　The floral scent emanating from Janice wafted past his nose on the summer breeze that blew into the room, making him feel a little itchy.

　"Good morning, young master." Janice leaned forward slightly, revealing her deep cleavage.

　Dak turned to look at her, and his eyes were immediately filled with her white, smooth skin.

　His heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged: "Do you still have the fishing rod that the old butler used to use?"

　Janice, whose lips were already slightly upturned, froze for a moment.

　But she quickly came to her senses and nodded, saying, "Yes."

　“Okay.” Dark nodded. “Get ready, I’m going fishing.”

　……

　fishing.

　A skill that does absolutely nothing to enhance a woman's attractiveness.

　But Pisces Janice is an expert

　That was her only hobby.

　……

　Dak closed his book and stood up only after she left.

　On the last day before this "battle" began, he prepared to experience his long-awaited retirement life in advance.

　The weather is nice today, with a slight overcast sky.

　There were clouds, but no rain.

　Without the scorching sun overhead, the temperature was much more comfortable.

　Want to go fishing?

　"No."

　The vampire heiress picked up "Galileo" and tossed him at Dark.

　The poor fat cat looked utterly dejected.

　Dak didn't insist.

　He only took a few magical sprites who were interested in fishing with him, then went out to summon Aurora and headed towards the pond in the backyard.

　There are usually no fish in the pond in the backyard.

　But when someone wants to fish, fish will appear inside.

　That's right, this is what's known as "Schrödinger's fish".

　……

　When Dak sat down by the pool, he saw several maids carrying buckets full of fish and pouring them into the pool.

　The aquatic beasts kept in the pond thought that dinner had come early in the morning, and they all happily pounced on it.

　But one of the maids glared at him, and a powerful aura swept over him, immediately silencing him.

　The water beasts swallowed hard, watching the fish swim freely in the pool, and made "woo-woo" sounds.

　But as the head maid carrying the fishing rod approached quickly, even the "woo-woo" sound stopped.

　All the aquatic beasts huddled in the corner of the pool, raising all their front paws to show that they had absolutely not stolen any food.

　"Young master, the fishing rod is here."

　Janice placed the fishing rod and other tools at Dak's feet, then took out a bag containing other fishing rods from behind her back, pulled one out, and handed it to Aurora.

　Aurora was staring wide-eyed at the funny water creatures and for a moment forgot to go and catch them.

　“Miss Aurora,” Janice said with a smile, seeing her astonished expression, “that’s how we fish in the manor.”

　Then she distributed the remaining fishing rods to the eager ones.

　The magical spirits patiently taught us how to use it.

　Tailmon, Meowth, Leomon, Popplio, Blue-Eyes Drake, and Eevee all sat properly by the pond and started fishing.

　The other magical sprites, though they had also arrived, but had no intention of trying, all gathered around Dark, watching curiously.

　Dak smiled and spent the whole morning fishing by the pond.

　……

　In the past, he probably would have left after three minutes.

　But now, looking at the calm, still water, his mind seemed to calm down as well, and the occasional burst of impatience quickly dissipated.

　……

　Dak only slowly reeled in his line when a single raindrop fell into the pool.

　"It is going to rain."

　He was certainly not a fisherman in a straw raincoat fishing in the rain.

　Before leaving, he poured the fish he had caught back into the pond.

　The magical sprites all followed suit, except for Meow Meow, who clung to her little bucket and ignored everything else.

　Dak smiled and patted its head, saying, "Take it back, and let Sister Ollie cook you a whole fish feast."

　"Meow!" Meow immediately beamed with joy.

　So tonight's dinner will mainly consist of "fish".

　……

　After they left, a sudden clap of thunder boomed, and a torrential downpour began.

　Dark spent the afternoon playing magic chess with Aurora at the mansion, and the day passed leisurely like that.

　That evening, he extracted the last drop of "great sin" of the month and then opened the system panel to check it.

　On the 8th, 9th, and 10th, I drew "Pride" twice and "Bliss" once.

　The "arrogance" and "ecstasy" that had just peeked out quickly returned to an index of 90 points.

　The "great sins" that Dak stored up include:

　[Arrogance]: 17

　[Paradise]: 1.5

　[Greed]: 9.5...

　After careful consideration, Dark took out the "elf egg" from the birthday present.

　……

　[2-in-1 4000+]

　[There was a clap of thunder, and my computer went black! It scared me to death! Thankfully, it was just a power outage.]

　I'm tired, I'll continue tomorrow. Goodnight.

Chapter 475 Darkdemon is nothing special (4k)

　蒙蒂尔法莉城主送来的这枚精灵卵，是从一处供奉着太阳神和月神的神庙之中发现的稀有种。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　According to Lord Montilfali's analysis, it was originally a fire spirit egg that absorbed a trace of the sun god's power in an extremely ancient era, and then transformed into this blazing sun spirit egg after thousands of years.

　Similarly, there is the Ice Moon Elf, which should also be a variant of the Ice Elf.

　Dark carefully placed the Sun Elf egg on the table and took a slight breath.

　There are two conditions for hatching a spirit egg: one is to have a sufficiently precious treasure of the same attribute, and the other is a so-called "fate".

　Dark originally had a gem that sealed the blood of a fire-attribute monster, but unfortunately, this Sun Elf egg has an additional "sun" attribute, which makes it seem less fitting.

　So he naturally thought of "arrogance," which perfectly matched the "sun" attribute!

　He has now accumulated 17 points of "Pride". With another 13 points, he can start trying to transmute "Pride 4" - although he still has no clue about the exclusive transmutation array for "Pride 4", he has to save it up first.

　That being said, Pride 4 is still a long way off. Even if we were to extract a little bit of its value, it wouldn't really matter.

　However, it seems that Dark doesn't need those 17 points of "Arrogance" to activate the elf egg yet.

　He still had three stems left from the "Fruit of Pride" in his hand!

　Juice made from the stems of these three "Pride Fruits" can be used as a substitute.

　Dark took the three stems of the "Fruit of Pride" out of the sealed bag one by one. Then he picked out the stem that still contained a trace of madness, and cut the other two into small pieces and put them into a small bowl.

　"Huhu, come here for a second."

　After finishing, Dak called the pot over.

　Although the "stem" is not the "fruit," if you're not looking for any extra benefits and just want to make juice, you can ask the potter to do it.

　"Sizzle—"

　The pot-shaped plant happily allowed Dak to put the stems into its hole, and juice quickly flowed out.

　Dak collected the juice into a small beaker, then thought for a moment and put the Sun Elf egg directly into the beaker filled with the juice.

　"Now we'll see if it'll be so kind as to do us a favor!"

　Dark squinted slightly, carefully observing the reaction of the Sun Elf egg.

　After a while, the fairy egg suddenly moved, and then the liquid in the beaker began to decrease at a visible rate.

　Dak felt a slight surge of joy.

　"It seems that the juice suits its taste quite well."

　Sure enough, it didn't take long for the beaker to reach the bottom, and the juice with a little fiber was completely absorbed.

　The inside of the elf egg was also faintly glowing, seemingly conveying some kind of joyful emotion.

　But after staring at it for a long time, Dak found that it didn't do anything else.

　Is there not enough juice?

　The stem of the "Fruit of Pride" is, after all, just a remnant; even two stems are not much.

　But the remaining one...

　One lion beast is enough; Dark doesn't want another uncertain factor.

　"How about trying a little 'arrogance'?"

　After much deliberation, Dark finally picked up the magic dropper and inserted the tip of his mouth...

　One point was precisely extracted from the thin membrane inside the thought bottle.

　Then, facing the spirit egg in the beaker, he squeezed the "magic brain" of the magic brain dropper.

　"grumble--"

　With a sharp screech, the magic dropper spat out that bit of "arrogance".

　As this drop of "arrogance," of even higher purity, fell, the elf egg actually jumped up and caught it.
