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

　The entire giant tree suddenly trembled, from its roots to its trunk, and then from its trunk to its branches.

　The intense light on the surface dimmed, converging into even brighter veins.

　The fluid of light surging within the veins accelerated its flow, ending at the luminous egg.

　When Lily pulled the light egg away from the nest, countless thin veins appeared, as if the flow of light in the entire giant tree had been drained, and all the light converged into the light egg.

　The giant tree dimmed in an instant.

　The fireflies that once gathered into a torrent of light have, without anyone noticing, begun to thin out.

　Only Lily's smile grew wider.

　With a sudden burst of strength, she severed all the light veins beneath the egg, grabbed it, and retreated rapidly, returning to Dark's side in the blink of an eye.

　"Got it!"

　In her excitement, she turned to look at the giant tree, only to see a blurry outline of the collapsing tree.

　After the light egg was removed, the giant tree lost its purpose and transformed back into glowing fireflies, bursting outwards.

　Fireflies return to the earth, and the night returns to tranquility.

　Dark and Lily landed in an open area.

　The little devilmon, flapping its wings and arriving late, stared curiously at the light egg in Lily's hand.

　The trash slime quietly peeked out.

　Lily lifted the egg slightly and exclaimed excitedly, "Look what I found! An egg with an 'realism' level almost 100!"

　……

　Under Dak's watchful gaze.

　Without hesitation, Lily pricked her finger and dripped blood onto the glowing egg.

　A drop of fairy blood, tinged with a pale pink hue, fell into the light egg and instantly spread rapidly to every corner of it.

　The white light on the surface of the egg quickly disappeared, revealing a crystal-clear, jade-like eggshell.

　It no longer shines, but it is more real.

　Like a...

　No, it is a real egg!

Chapter 548 Darkdemon's Good Fortune Abounds (9k)

　看着那枚比鸵鸟蛋还要大一些的神奇动物蛋，达克忍不住伸手触摸，细心感受着蛋壳的触感，心中微感震撼。104;116;116;112;58;47;47;119;119;119;46;50;99;121;120;115;119;46;99;111;109;47;

　Once you understand the concept of "realism," you'll discover that the essence of magical techniques is a process of creating something from nothing, of transforming the abstract into the concrete.

　To create the world, to create life.

　To exercise divine power in a body that is not divine.

　This is the ultimate pursuit of a mage!

　Every mage, from the moment they summon their first magical spirit, embarks on this path to divinity without a doubt.

　The difference lies in the fact that some people stop progressing after taking one step, while others can go straight ahead and reach the divine will!

　"I wonder if one day I will be able to turn magical spirits into real life?"

　After witnessing the miracle, Dark couldn't help but feel even greater expectations.

　Greed began to surge uncontrollably in my mind.

　But he quickly calmed down and said to Lily, "It seems that this entire secret realm is a ritual site that exists solely to create this one egg. Peter Shelvey's magical creatures must all be obtained from here. And judging from the fact that he brings back a magical creature every now and then, the secret realm's egg-laying capacity is sustainable. I just wonder how long it will take to lay an egg?"

　"Then let's come back a few more times!" Lily happily picked up the egg and touched it.

　Even for her, this experience was extremely rare.

　Peter Shelwich's ability to stand out among the Golden Generation and become a renowned Archmage may well be largely due to this experience.

　Dark looked around and said, "Let's go out first."

　This secret realm is actually not friendly to those without fairy blood.

　Upon hearing this, Lily freed one hand.

　Dark handed over the "mysterious branch".

　Lily took the branch and drew a circle as if waving a magic wand, causing the void in front of her to suddenly open up, revealing a familiar secret passage scene.

　As Dak stepped out, the torches on both sides of the secret passage suddenly burst into flame, illuminating the passage.

　Then Lily and Devimon also flew out one after the other.

　Lily lifted the branch and tapped it lightly, and the entrance to the secret realm instantly shrank and disappeared without a trace.

　If it weren't for the round egg she was still holding in her hands, one would truly believe that what had just happened was merely an illusion.

　……

　After a short rest, Dak had Lily put the "mysterious branch" back on the ground.

　After the "mysterious branch" stood firm, it slowly fell down at an extremely eerie pace.

　The tip of the "mysterious branch" ultimately pointed in another unknown direction.

　Dark pondered, "It seems the entrance to the secret realm isn't fixed. Each time we enter, we need to use this branch to guide us again, which is a bit troublesome."

　"No trouble at all," Lily said with a grin. "Shall we hatch the eggs here, or go outside and decide?"

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to incubate them?"

　Lily shook her head vigorously: "I don't know."

　Dark said, "Then let's go out first."

　Now that the magical creature's egg has become a real egg, the first thing to do in order to hatch it is to figure out what kind of magical creature is inside.

　The incubation methods for each magical creature are different, and it is essential to carefully distinguish between them.

　If it hatches successfully, it will become the first magical creature in the new Fantastic Beasts!

　After reaching an agreement, the two quickly returned along the route they had come from.

　The conversations along the way mainly revolved around the egg of this magical creature.

　"Judging from the size of this egg, the magical creature that hatches is very likely to be a large species."

　"The eggshell is crystal clear and flawless, so it is more likely to be of ice or light attribute."

　"Maybe it's the legendary unicorn?"

　"Unicorn horn is a material with extremely high medicinal value. It can be used not only to concoct rare magical potions, but also for magical alchemy."

　"And most importantly, a unicorn will shed its horn three times from birth to adulthood, just like a human losing their baby teeth."

　"The horns they have just shed contain even more magic than those that have been forcibly cut off."

　"If you can hatch a unicorn, it means you can obtain three unicorn horns of different ages!"

　"Of course, it could also be a snow raven, which is pure white and translucent, has a nimble tongue, can learn ten thousand languages, and is an excellent translator."

　"But as expected, the unicorn is still more anticipated..."

　Their conversation only gradually stopped after they left the secret room.

　Lily tossed the egg in her hand and said, "Where to now? The cafeteria? The dorm? The library?"

　Dark thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to the dorm first, but I don't want anyone else to see us."

　“Then watch me.” Lily immediately grabbed his hand and started running.

　Seeing that they were running faster and faster, Little Devimon rushed up and grabbed Dark's shoulder.

　Immediately afterwards, their bodies became transparent, and then they darted into the wall like a gust of wind, passing through it in an instant.

　As he kept passing through walls, even Dark couldn't help but close his eyes.

　Otherwise, he worried that he would instinctively stop abruptly.

　"call--"

　The sound of the wind suddenly stopped, and a solid object appeared beneath my feet.

　Dark suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked to find himself back in his dormitory, under the intense gaze of the magical spirits.

　"finally reached!"

　The little devilmon fell off his shoulder with a thud, as if it were "airsick".

　Immediately afterwards, the trash slime that was also clinging to Dark's shoulder also slid down, only to be caught by Ditto with a quick slide.

　"Is this all you've gained?"

　Tailmon, unusually, jumped down from the cat tree and looked at the egg.

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "We'll talk about the eggs later. What do you want to eat tonight?"

　……

　After leaving the Duke's mansion, the magical elves' food expenses were indeed a huge burden.

　But the good thing about St. Mary's College is that the cafeteria is free and you can even take out food.

　Dark took two magical sprites to the cafeteria and brought back a bunch of food. Then they sat on the floor in the dormitory and ate together.

　After finishing the quick dinner, Dark picked up the magical creature egg again and said to Lily, "Next stop, Claire Kate's dorm."

　Lily wiped her mouth with a tissue and muttered, "Couldn't you have let me eat some more?"

　Dark rolled his eyes: "You've eaten more than a dragon!"

　The blue-eyed dragon nodded vigorously to show its agreement.

　Lily reluctantly stood up; she simply enjoyed the feeling of eating with so many people.

　However, once the Fantastic Beasts Society officially opened, there would be as many opportunities as we wanted to eat together as there were in the community.

　Thinking of this, she glanced in the direction of the spiral clock tower, then grabbed Dark's hand again and passed through the wall!

　……

　Before long, the two of them walked straight through the balcony railing and entered the teachers' dormitory where Claire was temporarily staying.

　The room, which had been filled with voices, suddenly became quiet.

　Eve and Irene emerged from the shadows in the corner as Dak landed.

　"Young Master, what brings you here?" Eve asked curiously, looking at Lily and Egg.

　"I have something I'd like to ask Aunt Claire," Dak said with a smile.

　The quickest way to find out what kind of magical creature was inside that egg is, of course, to ask Claire, the "Animal Encyclopedia".

　Having said that, he walked into the house as if he were entering his own home.

　Eve and Irene hesitated to speak.

　Just then, Dak saw Claire walking out of the bathroom.

　Claire, who had just finished showering, was only wrapped in a towel, her wet black hair draped over her shoulders, exuding a bewitching aura.

　She looked at Darke with complete indifference and asked, "What questions do you have... um, about this egg?"

　“Yes.” Dark calmly looked away, not allowing himself to fall into the depths of human nature and the abyss.

　"Good evening, Professor Claire!" Lily followed closely behind, greeting him with great enthusiasm.

　“It’s little Lily,” Claire nodded. “Where did you get this egg?”

　Lily shut her mouth and looked at Dark.

　Darke then said frankly, "In the secret passage. Wasn't I supposed to be reopening the Fantastic Beasts Club? Here's what happened..."

　He then recounted the events of the day in detail, without concealing anything.

　Claire remained relatively calm: "So it was taken from 'Fairy Eden'? I thought it had disappeared before we graduated."

　Upon hearing this, Dark asked curiously, "So it disappeared before?"
