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

　……

　Inside the carriage running at the very front.

　Dark quietly flipped through the scanned contents of the Spellbook, while the succubus would occasionally peek down from above him, playing a little "eye-to-eye" game with him.

　Diana and Aurora each held an Eevee and groomed its fur, just like Dark did.

　The little devilmon gripped the curtains tightly with its claws and peered out.

　Meow Meow, on the other hand, occupied the other side of the car window.

　Trina is peeling an apple.

　The carriage swayed from time to time.

　With two quick strokes, but her fingers remained steady, the apple was cut into perfect cubes and arranged in the fruit bowl.

　After she cut the apple, she picked up the fruit plate and came to Dak's side, picked up a piece of apple with a fork, and fed it to Dak's mouth.

　Dak opened his mouth, bit into the apple, pulled it off the fork, chewed it a couple of times, and juice immediately flowed out.

　In that instant, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of a possibility.

　So he asked curiously, "Trina, do you have any special apples? Mine, the kind that's full of magic."

　"Magic plants?" Trina frowned slightly; she wasn't very knowledgeable about this subject.

　Aurora turned her head and whispered, "A magical apple, a golden apple?"

　"Golden Apple..."

　Dark put down the magic book in his hand and tilted his head slightly.

　When it comes to the golden apple, it is indeed the most famous of the "magical apples".

　This world also relatively completely continues some of the legends about the golden apple from Dark's previous life.

　However, it is not a legend related to the gods, but rather the part of the legend related to Adam and Eve.

　Adam and Eve, as the first human male and female born of the "Sacred," hold extraordinary significance in the legends of the Holy Church.

　According to sacred texts, Adam and Eve lived in a paradise called "Eden" after their birth.

　The saint told Adam and Eve that they could eat any fruit from the trees in the garden, but they should not eat or touch the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

　But Eve was tempted by the serpent and ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and then gave the fruit to Adam to eat.

　Upon learning this, the "Saint" expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.

　The fruit here is the "golden apple".

　In the doctrines that continue to this day, some refer to this "golden apple" as the "fruit of wisdom," believing it to be the key to unlocking human wisdom.

　Some people call it the "forbidden fruit," believing it to be the beginning of original sin and all other evils.

　However, as time has passed, the "golden apple" has long lost its original meaning.

　As it has multiplied generation after generation, the divine power it contains has become increasingly diluted.

　Nowadays, the golden apple is only used as a tool for maintaining the purity of bloodlines and is held by the elves and goblins.

　Even so, the golden apple is still a highly effective magical plant.

　If we could obtain golden apples to refine magical spirits...

　Dak tapped his head, realizing he was just daydreaming.

　He then asked, "Do you have a slightly more ordinary one?"

　Little Demon Beast suddenly inserted

　He said, "We can ask Mr. Plant."

　“Ms. Plant?” Darke couldn’t help but wonder.

　As the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens and a seasoned mage proficient in grass magic, Ms. Buddy Plant is indeed a very suitable person to consult.

　"Then let's go back and ask!"

　After making his decision, Dak continued to peruse the "Magic Book".

　……

　About half an hour later, the carriage entered the largest market in the capital—the Eugénie Trade District.

　In this trade circle, which is run by the largest merchant guild in the capital, the Eugénie Merchant Guild, travelers and merchants from all over the kingdom come and go, bringing in goods from the outside and taking out goods from the inside, making it possible to buy almost any ordinary item here.

　Nevertheless, Dak rarely comes here. Because there's too much "life here".

　Born and raised in a tower, Dark Dimon is actually out of place in such a place.

　But that's all in the past.

　For Dac Dimon now, the so-called Eugénie Trade Circle is nothing more than a slightly larger small commodity market.

　He was also quite interested in the travelers and adventurers active in the area.

　If you want to broaden your horizons and see the world, there is probably no better place than this.

　After we finish touring this place, he will take everyone to a more upscale location.

　……

　The Dimon family crest engraved on the carriage was so dazzling that vehicles ahead avoided it.

　Merchants may not recognize the nobles, but they certainly wouldn't mistake their coats of arms.

　For them, who were cautious and struggling to survive, they could not and dared not offend any of the great nobles.

　Even if a newcomer doesn't recognize them immediately, an elderly person will quickly remind them to avoid being implicated.

　The Duke's mansion has always had a good reputation, but that is just a "reputation".

　Once you've provoked someone, you can't rely on their "reputation," can you?

　Thus, the three carriages, driving straight in, seemed to pierce through...

　The giant sword in the market instantly had a tremendous impact on the entire business district.

　Some business giants have retreated, but some businessmen looking for opportunities are also eager to act.

　move.

　Adventurers from afar gazed curiously, while the scoundrels and bandits hidden among the crowd weighed the value of life and death.

　People outside of business, especially those from other places, don't have a broad perspective.

　There aren't many people who can recognize the Dimon badge at a glance.

　But some people happen to have paid attention to the Dimon family and recognize them at a glance.

Chapter 489 Darkdemon, the Righteous Warrior (6k)

　Aaron Reeds was bending down to pick up a fallen apple when he accidentally knocked it to the ground, causing him to bruise.

　He picked up the apple, wiped it, and said to the shopkeeper, "I'll buy this apple."

　Just then, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came. He turned around and saw three carriages from the Duke's mansion slowly approaching.

　"The Duke's carriage?"

　Aaron Reeds frowned slightly and lowered his eyelids.

　Under the sunlight, the face of this white-haired old man was covered with shadows.

　霾。

　He had been in the capital for some time, but the people in the Duke's mansion had always kept to themselves. During this time, the only people who frequented the place, besides the Valkyrie and the Sage of the Beast, were the four tutors.

　He has been unable to find an opportunity to contact his insiders.

　Unexpectedly, while waiting for an opportunity and taking a break today, he happened to run into the Duke's carriage.

　Such carriages, drawn by dragon horns, were naturally only for internal personnel.

　Aaron Reeds took a deep breath, knowing his chance had come!

　……

　After entering the Eugénie trading district, the carriage slowed down and then stopped in front of a tavern.

　This tavern, named "Horseshoe," is an insignificant part of the Dimon family's business empire.

　But since it is part of the family business, the Dimon family would always park their carriages in the backyard of the Horseshoe Tavern when they came to and from the Eugénie trading area.

　As the tavern owner watched the host's carriage pull up, his previously leisurely expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly rushed out.

　The tavern owner, Hansen, was a burly man whose arms were thicker than an average person's thighs.

　As soon as he stepped outside, he whispered to the leader of the Dragon Guards, "May I ask which esteemed lord has graced us with his presence?"

　The two of them looked at each other.

　The dragon tamer replied with a smile, "It is the young master."

　"Young Master..." Hansen paused for a long time, seemingly trying to figure out which young master it was.

　His expression changed drastically when his eyes fell on the Dimon family crest, the badge of rank symbolizing "Duke," and he exclaimed in alarm, "Is it that young master?"

　The Dragon Guard smiled and said, "Hansen, I've been at the Duke's mansion for about half a year now."

　"How would I know?" Hansen rubbed his hands together, his tense expression gradually easing.

　Although the young master of the Duke's family was unruly, he was not so bad as to eat people. At most, he would just demolish the tavern that he relied on for a living—nothing, really nothing!

　"take it easy."

　Just as the Dragon Tamer was about to say a few words in defense of his young master, the carriage door was opened from the inside, and "Lion" Trina poked her head out.

　"arrive?"

　"arrive."

　The Dragon Tamer quickly replied.

　Trina didn't even glance at Hansen before saying, "Let's go into the backyard first."

　As soon as she turned her head, the Dragon Guards quickly drove the carriage into the backyard.

　The tavern's backyard was quite spacious. Three carriages pulled by dragon horns entered one after another, and then Dark and the others slowly walked out of the carriages.

　Hansen, who had been following beside him, watched as Dark Dimon stepped down from the carriage, his heart burning with a burning urge to suffocate.

　Although he had little contact with the young master, the young master's deeds were widely known.

　Especially those who run taverns, who receive a constant stream of people every day, are quite well-informed and naturally have heard a lot about what the young master has been doing.

　Although the young master doesn't eat people, he is truly skilled at "destroying houses"!

　After today, his "home" where he has lived for more than ten years may be gone!

　"Is this Uncle Hansen?"

　Hansen blinked sharply, convinced he must be hallucinating.

　But he soon realized that Master Dimon was indeed talking to him.

　"Uncle Hansen, don't you remember me?" Dak said with a smile as he got off the carriage.

　Hansen's expression stiffened, and he racked his brains but couldn't recall when he had seen Dak. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Welcome to the Horseshoe Tavern, young master. If there's anything you'd like to eat or drink, just say so. I'll immediately send someone to find the head chef of the Eugénie Grand Hotel to prepare it."

　Dak remained noncommittal: "It seems you really don't recognize me, Hansen. Actually, I came here three years ago."

　"Three years ago?" Hansen shut his mouth, unable to help but recall.

　Darke then casually said, "Do you remember that fire?"

　Hansen's expression changed drastically: "That child is you!"
