Chapter 129: Dark Demon's White Cat
Chapter 129 Dark Demon's White Cat
***Edited by Kronost***
The history of magic class ended quietly in Principal Arte's flat but witty teaching.
After the principal left, the little magisters were still thinking about what she had taught in the class.
The interesting stories of the Brave One when he had been a student were obviously more in line with their current state of mind, and it was more immersive.
Although they hadn't actually met the Brave One personally, after this lesson, they all had a rather vivid image in their minds.
At the same time, the little magisters also discovered that they were walking the same path as the Brave One!
Making history, walking into history, and discovering that they themselves also had become a part of history.
...
The one who had the strongest feeling was naturally White Gawd.
He indulged in this feeling and stayed in the classroom for a long time.
But Dark left quickly after class.
Principal Arte had continued to tell the stories of other heroes who grew up in Saint Marian during the rest of the history of magic classes.
He was intrigued by it, and looked forward to the day when the Valkyrie would become the protagonist of the story.
But before that, he still had his own business to do.
This afternoon, the Flower of Pride would bear fruit!
...
In the past, he would normally go straight to the library at this time, but there are always exceptions.
Entering the tower, Dark went back to the dormitory, pushed the door and entered his room.
Dark leaned over to pick up the cat grass that had come to greet him. There was a little flower pot hanging from its tail like a bow.
The pot was especially made and had no other openings except for the part where the tail was attached.
There was also a special filter device in the flower pot so that the cat grass could grow normally without leaking soil and water.
Dark reached out and gently scratched the cat grass from its chin to its neck. After making the cat grass purr in comfort, he put it on the chair, and then prepared the equipment to start the experiment!
Today's experiment was very important, and it could be said that it was to test the result of more than half a month's hard work.
At the same time, he also had an additional idea in his mind: If the cat grass experiment is successful, it is very likely to form a new system!
...
Before the experiment.
Dark first used the magic brain dropper to draw a drop of [Pride] from his brain.
With the help of "spiritual concentration art", this time the drop of [Pride] also had 1.5 points.
Adding in the remaining 0.5 points from yesterday, he now had a full 2 points of [Pride]!
According to his speculation, these 2 points of [Pride] were definitely enough.
Next, he used the magic brain dropper again to extract half the amount from the Bottle of Thoughts—that is, 1 point of [Pride]—and injected it into the worm branch.
The worm branch felt more and more like a feeding bottle to him, while the cat grass was a little kitty waiting to be fed.
After giving worm branch to the cat grass, Dark stared intently at the flower of pride on the cat grass's head instead of looking at its expression this time.
As the energy of [Pride] was channelled into this fully bloomed flower of pride, it began to grow further at an extremely rapid rate.
There was no "pollination" process.
The Flower of Pride directly bore fruit on the cat grass's head.
The ovary in the lower half of the stigma gradually expanded, and the gorgeous petals withered at a speed that was visible to the eye.
It could be clearly seen that this was the ovule absorbing energy.
When the flower completely withered, a fruit the size of a longan appeared on the top of the cat grass!
Dark put on gloves and touched the fruit carefully.
The surface of the fruit was a bit rough, and the overall colour was fiery red. But after looking closely, he found that the bottom of the red exuded a faint dark golden lustre.
Well, the naturally formed Pride's emblem is very conspicuous.
He touched it gently, but it was enough to cause the fruit to fall off the stem. Apparently, it was ripe enough.
After that, only a slender stem remained on the top of the cat grass's head.
Dark wasn't cruel enough to cut off that Ahoge-like stem too.
He took the fruit and quickly came to the experimental table.
He first put a glass container on the table, and put the fruit in it, then he took out a thin and long knife and carefully cut the fruit.
Immediately, some white juice flowed out.
The inside of the fruit was viscous and semi-liquid, and after being cut, it emitted a faint bright breath.
Dark didn't find anything resembling "seeds" in it, which made him a little disappointed.
There is no possibility of planting without seeds.
It could only be cultivated by feeding cat grass.
But to cultivate such a fruit, roughly 7 points of [Pride] had been used.
And 7 points of [Pride] was close to the amount required to produce [Pride III].
...
After recording the data collected so far in the form of pictures and texts, Dark took a deep breath, ready to start the most crucial experiment.
"The refining method is [Bird & Beast-type: Light Attribute]."
"The core materials are the Fruit of Pride and Angewomon's Feather."
"What I need to prepare are Spirit Honey Juice, Brain Lobe Essence Water, Active Egg Liquid, Light Attribute Powder..."
Active Egg Liquid is a kind of biological egg liquid that maintains a certain activity after special treatment.
In the basic refining method of [Bird & Beast-type], Active Egg Liquid is an indispensable material.
After everything was ready, it was the formal experimental part.
...
Dark took out a blank magic card that cost 50 credits without hesitation.
Soon, he spread Spirit Honey Juice evenly on the blank magic card and poured a drop of Brain Lobe Essence Water on it.
After a little drying, he applied a layer of transparent yellowish Active Egg Liquid, then sprinkled some Light Attribute Powder, and drew a No. 7 magic refining circle.
The No. 7 magic refining circle is a magic refining circle that allows the material to be gradually integrated into the magic card.
...
As this experiment had only one shot of try, Dark was extremely focused, taking every step cautiously.
So it took nearly an hour and half before he could make a delicate semi-finished magic card.
At the final step of the core material refining process, he changed the refill of the magic energy pen from mercury to "Blood of the Silver Cat", and began drawing the magic refining circle No. 1.
The silver cat is a magic beast with normal attributes. The properties of its blood are close to mercury in the level of magic energy conduction, but it is more precious than mercury and has additional biological properties, which is suitable for making most cat-type magical spirit cards
Fruit of Pride, Feather of Archangel, Blood of Silver Cat...
All this preparation is to increase the opportunity of getting a Gatomon!
When the drawing of the magic refining circle No. 1 was completed, Dark even heard a faint meow!
He first poured the most important ingredient, Fruit of Pride, into the magic refining circle.
After the Fruit of Pride gradually sank into the glowing magic circle, he picked up the Angewomon Feather.
The moment the Feather of the Archangel came into contact with the brilliance of the magic refining circle, it released a strong white light in an instant!
...
When doing this step, Dark was actually a little hesitant.
The Fruit of Pride was essentially cultivated using deadly sin, while the Feather of Angewomon has a sacred attribute. The attributes of the two were theoretically mutually repellent.
Once there is rejection in the refining process, the entire experiment is likely to fail!
The time that would be wasted in this experiment was secondary. The most important things were the Fruit of Pride and Angewomon's Feather. They were too precious. Especially the latter, it was basically impossible to find another one.
Therefore, this experiment could only succeed and not fail!
"If the refining is successful this time, it basically means that the essence of deadly sin does not conflict with sacred materials."
Dark restrained his nervousness and carefully placed Angewomon's Feathers into the white light.
As it touched the surface of the water, the pure white Feather caused slight ripples.
Without any rejection, Angewomon's Feather was integrated into the magic refining circle.
Everything went smoothly.
After the No. 1 magic refining circle absorbed the Fruit of Pride and the Feather of the Archangel, the light released reached its peak.
After the light stopped glowing brighter, Dark added a few more strands of cat hair into it.
In an instant, the light burst out and then converged again.
All the materials were fused and refined, and the luminous silk threads crawling out of the card-surface gradually formed a white cocoon.
...
Refining is complete!
...
Whatever the final product might be, at least the experiment is a success.
Dark breathed a sigh of relief, waiting quietly for the magic card to take shape.
Two minutes later, the magic energy fluctuations emanating from the white cocoon gradually subsided.
Dark took out the mercury knife, injected magic energy into it, and prepared to cut open the cocoon.
But when the magic energy in the blade touched the cocoon, the white cocoon spread open automatically, revealing a pure white magic card.
The cat in the card opened its eyes. At first, it seemed to be confused, but then it focused, and its eyes became sharp.
It folded its arms on its chest, raised its chin slightly, and asked Dark in an arrogant tone, "You are my master?"
