Chapter 65 Dark Demon Seeking Truth
***Edited By Kronost***
Robert, after going through all that turmoil, became a good boy.
And without Robert's instigation, White also stopped creating troubles...
The history of magic class in the afternoon was spent peacefully in the drowsiness of the little magisters.
After class, Dark did not go to the library as usual, but went directly to Professor Cazer's office.
He hesitated for a while but still ended up knocking on the door.
"Knock, knock."
"Come in."
Professor Cazer's voice came from the office.
Dark twisted the doorknob and pushed in.
Professor Cazer was sitting behind his desk. There was a lot of homework piled up on the desk, but it was obviously not the first-year students' homeworks.
"Demon? You came right in time."
Professor Cazer put down the pen and jumped off the high stool.
Dark asked, "Professor, has the research on the flower cards been fruitful?"
"Mhm." Professor Cazer opened the drawer, drew a flower card from it, and shook it at Dark.
Like a child showing off a new toy.
Dark couldn't help chuckling, then he closed the door and walked to the back of the desk.
The professor handed him the card and said proudly, "Here, inject your magic energy into it."
Dark picked it up and observed it carefully.
This flower card was not Professor Cazer's original green rose, but another one from an unknown source.
"A student gave it to me." Professor Cazer said wittily.
Dark blinked in confusion.
Professor Cazer said helplessly, "Alright then, someone was playing with it in class. I confiscated it. Anyway, please ignore its origin. This is a work I carefully made last night."
The face of the flower card depicted a pinkish purple phalaenopsis, which is an orchid with petals like butterfly wings. It symbolises noble and elegant love.
Dark injected a trace of magic energy into it, and the phalaenopsis in the face of the card turned into a lively butterfly, not a phalaenopsis but a butterfly!
Pink and purple butterflies flapped their wings and danced gracefully.
As Dark waved the flower card, the butterflies circled around the flower card. It seemed to be connected.
A little pollen-like fluorescence emitted from the tails of the butterflies, leaving behind a long glowing trail, like a long tail.
It looked so amazing even in the daytime, not to mention at night time.
Dark was surprised, "Professor, how did you do it?"
Professor Cazer smiled: "A little trick. This is not a magic card. If you like it, you can have it. It has the same root as the flower card, and it may guide you to the root. There are many secrets in the academy that we encourage students to explore on their own. Of course, don’t forget the midnight curfew.”
...
Dark left the office with a hint of suspicion.
Professor Cazer's words didn't clear his doubts.
"Has he already found out and confirmed that there is no danger? Or...has he already dealt with the danger?"
"Otherwise, why did he mention that the academy encourages students to explore by themselves..."
Dark put the Phalaenopsis card into his card pouch, but knew that he might no longer be able to get more information from Professor Cazer.
"In this way, if I want to continue the investigation, I can only talk to White."
"The midnight curfew is a reminder."
"Robert has already paid the price for the night tour."
"Mhm, what should I do next?"
...
While thinking about it, Dark returned to the dormitory of the Noble House.
He decided not to think too much about it. Anyway, there is the son of the hero.
Dark even suspected that White is already deeply involved in it, and that [Forbidden Love] is the proof.
Rather than risk going deeper, Dark decided to wait for the secret to surface on its own.
Or step on the footprints of the hero: bring a napkin, a knife and fork, and enjoy the visual feast in a safe place.
In short, tonight, after the incident just happened, is by no means a good time.
He set up the experiment table and started tonight's experiment ahead of schedule.
Having one [Trash Slime] is enough. He didn’t try the [Plant-type - grass attribute] again. Instead, he did the second and the third experiments according to the [Bird & Beast-type - grass attribute] basic refining method.
Both experiments ended in failure.
So, he changed his method.
He wanted to use the basic refining method described in the textbook, which is the so-called "random refining method".
The difficulty of the random refining method is relatively low, but the success rate is also relatively low.
But when magisters can't find a direction, they often use this method to find ideas.
Not only successful experiments could inspire people, failed experiments could also inspire people.
...
Still using spirit honey juice and Brain Lobe Essence Water.
But the following material was completely different.
The "random refining method" gave people a feeling of putting a lot of materials into a large pot and boiling it together.
There are a few special magic refining circles in the middle, and all the things left after cooking would be refined into the magic card.
Because only the nature and requirements were specified for some materials, instead of specifying a certain material, and the requirements for quantity and time were quite loose, since the beginning of refining, it contained a large number of random elements. So even if the same person used the same materials, the product could be completely different.
This was the "random refining method", exclusive to the lucky people.
It took 32 minutes, and Dark finally reached the final step of magical spirit card refining.
After he activated the magic refining circle No. 1, he started adding things to it.
First, cat hair.
Then, cat hair again.
In the end, it was still car hair!
To ensure the purity of the core material, Dark did not add anything other than cat hair.
When the last cat hair was absorbed and swallowed, the light of magic refining circle No. 1 slowly converged, and finally calmed down.
Dark carefully looked at the magic card on the desktop.
A thick layer of black glue was stuck on the surface of the card, giving off a smell, a bit similar to a burnt smell.
He picked up the magic energy pen and tapped it.
"BOOM!"
A part of the glue suddenly exploded.
A ray of flame sprang up, and then immediately spread outward.
Dark reacted quickly, grabbing the fireproof cloth at the corner of the table, and covering it.
"Pa, pa".
The fire went out after two cracking noises.
Lifting off the fireproof cloth and removing the gluey part, Dark gripped a corner of the magic card with tweezers and carefully dragged it out.
The magic card's face was pitch black, obviously a failure.
"Although it failed, it can be seen that it is a partial fire attribute."
"But how can the hair of cat grass have a partial fire attribute? Could it be... the power of the sun?"
"Pride, the sun."
"That's it! This is where the problem is!"
Dark suddenly realized.
In his previous experiments, he had always used the grass attribute basic refining method. But in fact, the light attribute symbolizing the sun was the most suitable with [Pride].
After the cat grass absorbed [Pride], its properties started leaning towards the light.
To refine cat hair, he should use the two basic refining methods [Plant-type - light attribute] or [Bird & Beast-type - light attribute]!
