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

　By the time the alchemy class ended, Dark was quite tired.

　Dark put the notebook on the table and nodded, saying, "Hmm, how did you know, senior?"

　Pandora rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully, "I know you too well. You never contact me unless there's something wrong."

　Darke said awkwardly, "I've been busy, haven't I?"

　"Good afternoon, senior." Dark walked around from backstage and sat down next to Pandora.

　Senior Pandora looked at him and smiled, "What? You've come to ask about the method of creating a substitute puppet?"

　Dak then took the wooden carving out of his bag, placed it on the table, and asked, "Is this wooden carving very rare?"

　Pandora nodded and said, "It is indeed very rare. I've only obtained two in all my time at the academy. One of them exploded during the forging process. So I only have one Substitute Puppet Magic Card."

　Dark nodded and said, "So it seems I should prepare myself for this to be my only chance to refine it?"

　"Never mind." Pandora tapped the books on the table. "Actually, I'm busy too. Let's get this over with quickly."

　Dark wiped his nose and said, "I might be slower."

　Pandora turned back and said, "The difficulty of creating a substitute puppet isn't that great. You have a good grasp of magical languages ​​and have recently been researching item card making, so the basic requirements are all there. Moreover, the difficulty in creating a substitute puppet lies mostly in the creation of the prototype, but you already have one ready-made."

　Pandora picked up a pen, leaned closer, and began writing and explaining.

　Her explanations were, of course, more detailed and easier to understand than those of the three thousand items and eight thousand refining methods.

　She also anticipated some of Dak's common mistakes and wrote down the key points to avoid in her notebook.

　Pandora said, "Not necessarily. If you can find a treasure chest, you'll always find a second and a third. Alright, enough chit-chat. Bring me some paper and pen, and let's begin the explanation."

　Dak moved his notebook and pen over, and then moved over himself.

　The fragrance that wafted into his nostrils made him feel a little uneasy, so he quickly focused his attention on his notebook.

　During this period, unless he encountered a problem that he couldn't understand, he relied on himself to study and solve it, and finally figured it out before dark.

　"Judging from this, maybe we can make it?"

　Dak packed up his paper and pen and got up.

　Just two or three hours later, she finished explaining the method of creating the substitute puppet without holding back at all.

　Dak listened attentively, but because Pandora spoke so fast, he still couldn't fully grasp some of it.

　So after thanking him, he went into the quiet reading room to continue his research.

　Participating in competitions and stepping onto the dueling stage might be a form of relaxation for them.

　Dak left the library and headed towards the cafeteria.

　There's also an astrology class tonight.

　When he walked out of the reading room, he found that Pandora was no longer at the counter.

　At St. Marian Academy, especially for the top students, things are indeed very busy.

　They set research topics for themselves, and once they have thoroughly researched an old topic, they will immediately start a new one.

　Dark went straight downstairs to the Magical Creatures Club, entered the president's office, and began writing his own personalized Stand Puppet Magical Language.

　Besides the wooden carving blank, another difficulty in making the substitute puppet lies mainly in the magical language.

　Two sets of magical languages ​​need to be compiled. One set will be engraved on the wooden carving, and the other will be used in the alchemy process.

　"Ding Ding Ding!"

　The astrology class ended promptly at 9 p.m.

　He quickly returned to his office and continued writing.

　After he left, Katrina looked at him strangely and whispered, "So they've already started making substitute puppets? Should I get a couple of magic cards and practice making some too?"

　Despite having the template provided by Pandora, Dark still encountered difficulties in the writing process.

　When he was completely baffled, he thought of Katrina, the senior in the reading room, so he took his notebook and went to ask her.

　Katrina glanced at him briefly and pointed out his mistake, making him realize his error.

　The next day, Friday, the weather cleared up.

　After getting up, Dak was full of energy and continued his research.

　At nine o'clock in the morning, the final programming was finally completed.

　A sudden downpour occurred late at night, trapping Dak and the others in the club's classroom, where they stayed for a while.

　It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that the group braved the slightly lighter rain and rushed into the castle.

　That night, Dak dared not stay up late and quickly fell asleep.

　Meow Meow picked up the carving knife, twirled it a few times, nodded, and began carving with lightning speed.

　Dak glanced at it and immediately felt ashamed of himself.

　But when he thought that Meow Meow was his, and that Meow Meow's skills were equivalent to his skills, he became happy again.

　He seized the time and immediately began the process.

　The dormitory is basically complete with all the necessary materials, and everything is ready.

　He summoned Meow Meow and had it carve the pre-written magical language onto the wooden carving.

　The process of creating the substitute puppet went very smoothly.

　It seemed that every little problem encountered along the way could be solved by finding a solution in the notebook.

　Dark's skill in crafting item cards also improved rapidly, and he gradually became more adept at it during the crafting process.

　Recently, magical Pokémon with special abilities, such as Meowth, Munchlax, Shuckle, and Miltank, have become very popular in the St. Marian Academy's quest system. Occasionally, people even come to visit them directly and personally entrust them with quests.

　The mission points from the Fantastic Beasts Club can accumulate without you even noticing.

　If applied to a magical spirit, it needs to be "equipped" on the magical spirit beforehand.

　"Tick!"

　Suddenly, a drop of liquid fell from the ceiling.

　Following Pandora's transmutation method, he dripped his own blood into the final transmutation circle when he placed the wooden sculpture into the Hymer transmutation circle.

　Once the blood is absorbed, the substitute puppet becomes completely connected to the mage himself.

　When placed close to the body, the substitute puppet will automatically activate once the mage senses danger exceeding a certain threshold. While taking the damage in the mage's place, it will also instantly trigger a blink spell, teleporting the mage to a nearby location.

　Professor Lily Laplace flipped down from the ceiling, lightly patted her skirt, and said with a grin, "Why the long face? Haven't you finished creating your substitute puppet?"

　Dark looked down at the magic card and breathed a sigh of relief.

　Caught off guard, Dark watched helplessly as the drop of liquid fell into the transmutation array, causing the entire transmutation to come to a rapid close.

　He looked up abruptly and saw little Lily peeking out from the ceiling; his face immediately darkened.

　"Hey!"

　"They're here! We've been waiting for so long!"

　In any case, this substitute puppet has indeed completed its final self-refinement stage, and is essentially finished.

　"You've been here for a while?" he asked, turning his head.

　Lily floated beside him, staring intently at his dorm room with wide eyes.

Chapter 614 Darkdemon Travels with the Professor (6k)

　Lily turned around and said, "Sarah asked me to take you there; we need to make some preparations beforehand."

　Dark asked curiously, "Have the personnel for this dungeon expedition been confirmed?"

　“Mmm-hmm-hmm,” Lily exclaimed excitedly, “Sarah, Pava, Claire, Cazell, and Nini.”

　“Professor Nini?” Darke couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

　Although the familiar faces made him feel at ease, how did Professor Nini manage to sneak in?

　And Professor Cazell didn't even know about this until the night before last, did he?

　Was it just decided yesterday?

　Dark was filled with doubt, but he felt it would be impolite to ask Lily.

　He shook his head and looked back at the lab table.

　It moves unconsciously within the card, and is no longer in a seated posture like a wooden carving.

　Moreover, the face, which was originally just an outline, has become more refined, and one can see the shadow of Dark himself in it.

　Once the substitute puppet is created, only the mage himself and the magical spirit he created can use it.

　The substitute puppet had stopped responding.

　He picked it up with tweezers, washed it, and examined it carefully.

　The card for the stand-in puppet features a wooden puppet. However, this puppet is quite different from the original wooden carving.

　The pattern and direction of the lines look exactly like Lily's wings.

　Lily blinked, looking completely innocent.

　Dark took a deep breath, helplessly lowered his head, and continued to examine the magic cards.

　Even without a "mind lock," this special type of magic card doesn't need to be taken away or used by others.

　Dark observed closely, then suddenly frowned, noticing that although the puppet's back was barely visible, it did indeed have faint, transparent wing-like patterns.

　He couldn't help but look up at Professor Lily.

　Card Name: Fairy Puppet

　Type: Item Card

　Effect: The Fairy Puppet can take damage for its master at crucial moments and instantly trigger the [Blink Spell], teleporting the master to a nearby location. At the same time, it Special Summons a Fairy-type Magical Spirit (requires prior saving).

　After he infused it with magic, a message was sent back.

　This substitute puppet has indeed run into problems.

　Although the Magical Spirits Special Summoned must be Fairy-type, this undoubtedly greatly increases their practicality—especially in Magical Duels!

　Moreover, this special summoning, as long as the conditions are met, can basically be performed directly across different classes.

　In short, the third-tier magical spirits are unknown, but the second-tier magical spirits may be able to be summoned via special recruitment.

　Dark was silent for a while, then looked up at Lily for a moment, before suddenly patting her shoulder with a look of satisfaction and praising, "Well done!"

　This fairy puppet, in addition to being a substitute puppet, also possesses the ability to be summoned.

　For example, Clefairy and Jigglypuff are both Fairy-type creatures and are also specific targets of the Luna Stone.

　If one can create this type of magical spirit, it can relatively perfectly supplement the Elysium deck.

　With a new goal in mind, Dak suddenly felt much more cheerful.

　The only problem is that he only has one Fairy-type Magical Spirit Card.

　Moreover, she is a magic scribe with little to no combat ability.

　But it doesn't matter. Given the compatibility between Fairy creatures and Paradise, it's only a matter of time before we can create a few Fairy creatures.

　Once the recording was complete, a small magic book projection appeared on the Fairy Puppet's card, which was quite interesting.

　However, because the cooldown of these types of magic cards is usually as long as 24 hours, Dark did not conduct an experiment on the spot.

　After he retrieved the fairy puppet, he quickly cleaned up the experimental residue.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I summon the Fairy Puppet!"

　Once summoned, the fairy puppet's transparent wings became even more prominent.

　Dark then summoned the Magic Secretary and used a fairy puppet to record it.

　"What are you preparing?" Lily asked, puffing out her chest. "Lily's here!"

　“That’s true.” Dark said, quickly grabbing the backpack from the bedside and putting in some essential items for his dungeon adventure.
