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

　Winnie Skadi suddenly spoke up, causing Dark to stop in his tracks.

　As a result, once it stopped, it stayed until the very end.

　He waited until Eudora finished asking her questions before finally walking to the desk and sitting down.

　Before he could speak, Professor Cazell cut to the chase: "What you want to ask is the difference between one 'Eye of Truth' and two 'Eyes of Truth,' right?"

　Dark nodded. "Yes, Professor."

　He couldn't ask about the reasons for this situation in detail, so he could only ask about its effects.

　Professor Kazel chuckled and said, "The difference is probably like that between a water pipe and a canal. The first thing you did after opening your eyes was to use the 'Eye of Truth' to look at me, right? Even if you weren't successful, you at least gleaned some information. Others, however, wouldn't get any information."

　……

　Good morning! Only four days left in August. Could you guys please check your inventory and clear out your monthly passes and swords?

Chapter 577 Is Seeking Treasure in the Dungeon a Mistake? (7000 words)

　With a hint of embarrassment at being exposed, Dark pondered, "I see. So, I can gain higher authority within the 'Gate of Truth,' allowing me to measure the value of things at a higher level. That's certainly a pure benefit. But looking at it this way, the reason for this situation becomes quite obvious."

　He didn't pursue the matter further and said to Professor Cazell, "I think I understand, Professor Xie."

　“It’s nothing,” Professor Kazel waved his hand. “I’ve heard a saying: ‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.’ This applies to both you and Eudora. Walk your path well from now on.”

　Dak nodded and stepped back.

　There were only a few people left in the office at this point. Dak turned to look at Eudora and gave her a wink.

　Eudora then said goodbye to Professor Cazell with him and left the office.

　Their schedules overlapped, and they had no classes until the evening.

　Although Eudora had the rare opportunity to travel alone with Dark, she was clearly preoccupied and had no time to think about it.

　They didn't say much on the way and soon arrived at Professor Mitia's residence.

　But before the two could knock, the door had already opened from the inside.

　Professor Mitya leaned against the snow-white wall, looking at the two meaningfully, and said lazily, "Come in."

　Dark lowered his eyes slightly and led Eudora into the room.

　It was his first time visiting Mithia Bartholomew's dormitory, and the first thing he saw was several coats hanging on the hanger, all of them identical mage robes.

　However, although Professor Mitia was so lazy that she only wore the same clothes, her room was surprisingly tidy—of course, it's also possible that she anticipated their return and tidied it up in advance.

　Dak walked to the reception table, sat down on the sofa, and two cups of black tea on the table were steaming.

　"Have some tea." Professor Mitia gestured, then sat down next to Eudora, turned her face to face him, pried open her eyelids with her fingers, and carefully examined her right eye.

　Dak picked up his teacup and took a sip, then picked up a spoon and scooped some sugar from the sugar jar into the cup, stirred it well, and took another sip.

　sweet.

　At this moment, Professor Mitia had finished her observation. She breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.

　Dark asked, "How is it?"

　Professor Mitya chuckled, "It's not too bad. The 'Eye of Truth' and the 'Eye of the Stars' have slightly merged, which triggered the 'Apocalypse.' This is a normal phenomenon."

　Dark frowned. "What about the 'Death Star'?"

　Professor Mitia nodded at Eudora's forehead, then said playfully, "Look, your sun is worried about you."

　Eudora's face immediately flushed red.

　Dark's face darkened, and he said, "Professor, we're talking about serious matters."

　Professor Mitya chuckled, “Dark, you should know that Eudora chose alchemy only after obtaining my permission. No one else in this world can so easily open someone’s ‘Eye of Truth.’ But only by merging with the ‘Eye of Truth’ can her ‘capacity’ truly become as vast as the starry sky.”

　Dark couldn't help but ask, "Has there been any precedent?"

　Professor Mitis shook her head and said, "No."

　Dark frowned sharply: "Since there isn't..."

　Professor Mitis immediately declared, "Therefore, we are the pioneers!"

　Dark asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

　Professor Mitya shook her head solemnly and said, "Eudora has already embarked on the path of an astrologer; there's no escaping it. She possesses the most beautiful eyes in the world, the entire starry sky reflected in them. No one is more favored by fate than her. Even without the 'Eye of Truth,' she will constantly receive 'divine revelation.' I know this better than anyone."

　As she spoke, Professor Mitia looked up at Dark, and a silver moon slowly emerged from the depths of his eyes, as if to tell him that what she said was true.

　Both being "Eyes of the Stars," Professor Mitia sees only a bright moon, while Eudora sees the entire starry sky!

　As she said, no matter what Eudora did, she could not escape the "Apocalypse".

　All she could do was confront the "revelation," accept it, and embrace it!

　The "Eye of Truth" is the key to expanding its "capacity".

　Dak nodded slowly, seemingly understanding.

　Assuming Eudora can withstand X number of "Death Stars," we cannot observe the exact value of X until Eudora dies from a "Death Star."

　In this case, we only need to expand X to make it (X+N).

　Then, by ensuring that N is always greater than or equal to the number of "Death Stars" that appear, Eudora will not die due to the cost.

　In short, it means adding an external RAM disk.

　However, the side effect of this is that the speed of running programs will increase due to the increase in memory—and the frequency of "Apocalypse" will increase as a result!

　Eudora needs to accelerate the fusion of the "Eye of Truth" and the "Eye of the Stars" before the number of "Apocalypse" exceeds N, so as to expand the value of N more quickly.

　As for how to manage the gains and losses involved, that's up to Professor Mitia.

　After all, she's the professional.

　……

　After figuring things out, Dark gradually relaxed and casually asked, "So, Eudora, what did you see in 'Apocalypse'?"

　Eudora's face paled slightly. After glancing at Professor Mitia, she said, "I saw the Death Star."

　"The Death Star?" Professor Mitya raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on her face.

　Dark asked gravely, "And then? Is it another calamity warning like the last one?"

　“No, I’m not entirely sure,” Eudora shook her head and said, “I only saw death stars falling from the dark night sky. They were dim, appearing and disappearing intermittently, emanating an extremely ominous aura, and finally…”

　“Wait, them?” Darke interrupted instinctively.

　“Hmm.” Eudora nodded and said seriously, “Yes, there were three stars in total. They fell from three directions, but ended up in the same place, and the explosion leveled the entire earth. Creatures that were lurking in the darkness were all turned to dust in that terrifying black light.”

　Unlike her first prophecy, Eudora spoke calmly when describing what she saw in the "Apocalypse," as if it were something completely unrelated to her.

　Of course, this cannot be entirely attributed to growth in character.

　As they gain a deeper understanding of divination, diviners discover that what is predicted is often just a premonition.

　What is "seen" in prophecies often does not happen in reality.

　For example, "seeing" someone's death does not mean that person will die, but merely foreshadows that they will encounter misfortune.

　Divination is a very profound art; simply interpreting the images on the surface is far from sufficient.

　……

　Instead of making wild guesses, Dark asked directly, "How should this be interpreted?"

　He instinctively looked at Professor Mitia, but Professor Mitia looked at Eudora.

　Eudora glanced to both sides and said, "The Death Star represents something ominous, the third is the number, and the last one falling in one place means that they will eventually converge and cause disaster. For now, I can only do this kind of superficial interpretation."

　“That’s enough,” Professor Mitya said with satisfaction. “In practical terms, it means three people, or three organizations, will secretly unite and ultimately trigger a catastrophe. This kind of ‘revelation’ is very common, and because it’s so vague, it’s impossible to determine whether it has already happened or when it will come true. However, this ‘revelation’ has a key number: three. We can use this number three as a starting point to search for what the ‘revelation’ indicates.”

　After a moment's thought, Dark said, "Professor Mitia, may I share this 'revelation' with others?"

　Professor Mitya held up three fingers and said, "Yes, but you can only tell three people."

　“Three will be enough,” Dark nodded. “Could they pass on the message?”

　Professor Mitya smiled and said, "That's their business. You were the one who first received the mandate, so you can't reveal too much."

　Dak nodded.

　In fact, he only intended to tell Claire.

　Claire will leave temporarily after the Silver Cup opens in October, taking one of Eve or Irene with her.

　Telling Claire about this "divine revelation" is tantamount to telling Alvette.

　However, there are many such vague calamity prophecies every year, and saying them is better than saying nothing at all.

　……

　Dak stayed at Professor Mitia's place until 11:30 before going to the cafeteria with the two of them for lunch.

　During this process, he took the opportunity to ask Professor Mitia many questions left over from the "astrology class," and benefited greatly from it.

　After the meal, Eudora left with Professor Mitia, while Dak went to the library to finish his homework.

　The "astrology class" that evening went as usual.

　Professor Mitia continued to teach knowledge that was far too profound for Dark.

　As for Eevee Jr., he sat on the table looking completely bewildered, it's unclear how much he heard.

　Fortunately, Professor Mitis wrote everything she taught in class on the blackboard, copied it down, and studied it carefully when she got home. She was always able to figure things out.

　After the "Astrology Class" ended, Dark checked on Eudora and, seeing that she was indeed alright, went to the clubroom to sit for a while before returning to the dormitory with some of the magical elves.

　Upon entering the dormitory, he immediately took out all the materials he had stored and tried to use the "Eye of Truth" to measure their value.

　The value of something is not entirely fixed.

　Even from the perspective of the "Gate of Truth," the value of everything is constantly changing.

　Therefore, it is extremely difficult to quantify.

　However, if you put the two things together, you can use the "Gate of Truth" to more clearly measure the value of the two things.

　In other words, whether they are equivalent or not.

　What alchemists need most is to weigh whether what they seek is commensurate with the price they pay.

　Only in this way can we achieve true equivalent exchange!

　……

　Before falling asleep, Dark was like a child who had received a new toy, squandering the power of the "Eye of Truth" to the fullest extent, measuring almost everything in the room.

　The final result surprised him greatly.

　According to the "Eye of Truth," the value of cat grass is actually higher than that of insect tree!

　And that old, worn-out magic dropper is even more valuable than cat grass!

　As for the value of the magical spirits, they are naturally higher than the magical brain dropper.

　Even the "great sins" that are simply extracted are of considerable value.

　Furthermore, when real and fake items are placed side by side, it is almost immediately possible to distinguish which is real and which is fake.

　Unless it's a special case where a counterfeit product is more expensive than the genuine one...

　In short, having the "Eye of Truth" is a great help even when it's not considered in alchemy, but simply in the selection of materials.

　After a night of excitement, Dak was able to calm down the next day.

　After finishing his morning exercise, he began preparing to enter the underground city.

　This dungeon adventure was a true "first" for every second-year student.

　The last adventure led by Professor Nini was more like a "picnic" than an "adventure".

　Moreover, Dark chose to enter the dungeon alone.

　He is about to face a completely new challenge that he has never experienced before!

　……
