As Selma listened, her expression grew one of surprise. She acknowledged Emma's research, but...
"Death Desert, Seto Beasts, Golden Kingdom... but how many dangers are hidden within them? You are not allowed to go!"
"Sure enough, I knew it."
Emma glared at Dark, her expression full of complaints.
Dark smiled and said, "Aunt Selma, don't worry, I will protect Emma."
Selma frowned and said, "I'm not just worried about her, I'm worried about you too! You're not allowed to go either! I really don't know how the Valkyrie can be a mother. How could she let her child go to such a dangerous place? Did you also not tell her the truth and sneak off here on your own?"
Dark said seriously, "That's because she believes I'm capable enough to handle any potential dangers. Besides, I'm not alone."
Emma said, "Yes, and me too..."
Dark said, "With Ashe around, I can stay in touch with my family even though we're thousands of miles apart."
Selma said, "Ashe, that little maid just now, she has mastered the 'Spiritual Connection' technique."
Dark nodded and said, "That's right."
Selma said, "Being able to maintain long-distance communication using 'Telepathy' is a good thing. But what's the use if that's all you get when you're in danger? Even the Valkyrie can't teleport to your side instantly."
Dark sighed slightly and took "Shamy" off his head, saying, "Look, this is the ten-star magical spirit 'Shamy.' It can purify most abnormal statuses."
Selma sniffed and said, "Bando!" "Mi!" "Shami" gladly accepted her praise.
"Mom!" Emma couldn't help but exclaim, "Dark is someone who beat that Noah Sharp!"
Selma crossed her arms and said, "I know, I've seen that newspaper, but that's in the era of magical duels where everything is supreme. In reality, people won't wait for you to be ready before attacking. During wartime, even the most powerful mages need a team to protect them. What can you two mages do?"
Dark touched his nose and said, "My magical spirit is more than enough to serve as a guard."
Selma said, "Magical spirits, when they receive orders, will inevitably be a step behind."
"Hmph." "Devimon" chuckled. Selma frowned.
Emma said, "Mom, Dark's magical spirits are very intelligent." "Okay, even so." Selma carefully observed "Devimon" and "Shami" and admitted, "But a mage cannot continue to provide magical power to a magical spirit after falling asleep."
"Mmm!" "Shami" indicated to herself, "Okay!" Selma, of course, didn't understand.
Dark had no choice but to take out "Paradise" and say, "I can unfold this field card before I go to sleep so that the magical spirit can continue to exist in the field."
Selma exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."
Dark said, "The Sage of the Beasts is my teacher."
Then he raised his hand, drawing out the "Blessing of the Wind Spirit" hidden in his ear, and flicked it towards Emma: "This wisp of the 'Blessing of the Wind Spirit' can withstand a life-threatening disaster."
The "blessing of the wind spirits" lingered in Emma's ears, transforming into an earring.
Dark said, "Once we use up 'The Blessing of the Wind Spirit,' we'll immediately abandon the exploration. I possess a means of group teleportation, allowing me to escape danger instantly. Furthermore, I have a twelve-star magical spirit."
As he spoke, he took out the "Fossil Ape-Dragon" and showed it to Selma.
If the ten-star magical spirit "Shamy" wasn't enough to surprise Selma, then this twelve-star magical spirit "Fossil Wyvern" truly shocked her on the spot.
Moreover, the stats on this 12-star Magical Spirit card are incredibly powerful. However, Dark actually possesses more than just this one 12-star Magical Spirit card. With his strength, even if the Death Desert were a den of dragons and tigers, he could still venture there.
Even if it were a divine relic, he had a super backup plan. What he was more worried about was that the Golden Kingdom's ruins might contain areas that prohibited magic or teleportation.
After all, the Golden Kingdom was founded by the Golden King, who is referred to in many documents as the "earliest alchemist." At that time, the gods still existed, and his abilities should not be underestimated.
Adhering to the principle of "safety first," Dac has considered almost all possible scenarios.
While he cannot guarantee absolute safety, every adventurer takes risks; to reap rewards, one must bear the corresponding risks.
When he showed her the "fossilized pterosaur," Aunt Selma finally fell silent.
The display of the twelve-star magical spirit made her realize that this student, who was only a second-year student, was already someone she could hardly reach.
But she soon noticed that Emma was also staring wide-eyed, her face filled with shock. Clearly, her daughter was also unaware that Dark had actually created a twelve-star magical spirit.
In the minds of most mages, twelve-star magical spirits represent the pinnacle of magical technology.
As for the thirteenth and fourteenth stars, and even the fifth and sixth tiers, they are existences that ordinary archmages have never even thought of.
Selma herself is not a mage from an academy, and her treatment under the "Sage of Mystery" is even worse than Emma's. Her current strength is roughly equivalent to that of an outstanding graduate of St. Marian Academy.
In other words, it's not as good as Darko.
After Dark presented the twelve-star magical spirit, she had a clearer understanding of the matter and felt too embarrassed to continue.
“I need to ask the child’s father again,” Selma said stubbornly after a long pause.
This subconscious stubbornness is also very Emma's style.
Dak wasn't in a hurry.
His plan was to stay overnight in Phoenix and set off again tomorrow morning.
Emma's father returned home at five o'clock in the afternoon.
During this time, Emma kept sharing her research with Selma, who would occasionally offer her opinions, appearing quite involved.
Even though Dak was just listening in, he still learned a lot.
It was almost five o'clock when Selma reluctantly let go and went to cook.
With nothing else to do, Dak went into the kitchen to help.
When Selma saw his skillful cooking, she looked as if she had seen a ghost, even more shocked than when she saw the twelve-star magical spirit.
But soon, the two were happily cooking together, and the kitchen was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.
—This is what George Metis saw when he got home. If he hadn't seen Dak's picture in the newspaper, he would have almost mistaken it for his wife finding a younger lover.
Dark and Emma's father first met at the dinner table. Although George Metis was over forty, he exuded a youthful handsomeness.
He had handsome features, a refined demeanor, and was consistent inside and out, making him a very rare breed in this era.
This is largely due to his family upbringing and his smooth-sailing childhood.
The weariness of life did not leave wrinkles on his body.
He is a light-attribute mage, but of low rank. He knows some simple healing spells, but usually heals people for free.
He wasn't unaware of the dangers of the world, but he preferred to believe that the world was beautiful.
After he officially met Dark, he suddenly felt a sense of kinship with him and developed a fondness for him.
Of course, if Dark knew what he was really thinking, he would definitely question his judgment.
On the table.
George and Selma both cared deeply for Dark, and Emma felt the coldness of being an outsider for the first time in her own home.
She frowned as she bit into her bread, looking angrily at Dak, who had usurped her place.
Why is this guy so good at being charming?
In short, Dark quickly established a relationship of mutual trust with George. Therefore, when it came to his plan to go to the Desert of Death with Emma to find the Golden Kingdom, George readily agreed!
What danger
"Dark will definitely protect his precious daughter, right?" George Metis trusted Dark Dimon completely. The final obstacle had vanished.
This should be a good thing.
But Emma suddenly realized that she couldn't feel happy.
After convincing Emma's family, Dark discussed tomorrow's itinerary with Emma, as well as the items that still needed to be prepared.
Selma suggested that Emma take Dark to the night market, but Emma ignored her.
Around eight o'clock, Dark declined Selma and George's invitation to stay overnight and informed Ash that he had already booked a hotel room.
Then, Emma was kicked out of the house and "forced" to take Dark to the night market.
Phoenix City's night market is a well-known attraction, with colorful phoenix lanterns illuminating the entire street. Walking along the street, you can find all kinds of local specialties.
Darke has approved Ash's freedom of action.
Aisha maintained her mental connection with Ellie and excitedly explored the night market.
Meanwhile, Dak and Emma strolled around, continuing to discuss their plans for the next day. Along the way, they encountered Robert, who was patrolling the night market, and invited him to walk with them for a while.
But Robert quickly said goodbye with a smile, looking like he had a high EQ.
Dak bought some local specialties, intending to send them back to the capital before leaving.
Emma went from being reluctant to enjoying it in less than five minutes.
Late at night, Dark recalled Ashe and drove Emma back. But just as they were about to enter Suzaku Street, a sudden fluctuation of magic arose. A dark shadow that had been hiding in a corner suddenly darted out and was kicked away by the unicorn black horse.
"boom!"
[As of the 26th, the twenty chapters (2000 words/chapter) owed from last month have been repaid.]

The moonlight was dim in the dead of night, and the figures were indistinct.
With a lightning-fast back kick, the unicorn black horse sent the charging shadow flying. It slammed into the wall and slid down like a puddle of slime.
Dak abruptly flung open the curtains and saw a dark figure sprawled there. A staged accident.
of course not.
The slight magical fluctuation that just came was clearly a mental spell, but the spell was too shallow to have any effect on it at all.
And not only him, but even Emma was unaffected. "Moon Goddess."
Dark whispered a command, and the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" emerged from his body, passed directly through the carriage, flew to the dark figure, and then reached out, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" can switch between reality and illusion, and indeed has the ability to pass through walls. The figure it lifted was instantly awakened by an intense feeling of suffocation. But what followed was an even stronger suffocation, and an immense, indescribable fear.
The shadow of death suddenly descended, and even the excruciating pain of feeling as if one's body had been torn apart was buried by fear.
Dark told Ash and Emma to be on guard, then led "Shami" out of the carriage and walked a few steps to the man, scrutinizing him closely.
"It's that person from noon!"
Emma, who was peering out the window, suddenly called out.
Dark immediately realized that this was the murderer who used hypnosis to kill. He showed no mercy to the attacker.
"Give him some fresh air, don't kill him," Dark warned.
The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" loosened her fingers slightly, allowing fresh air to enter her throat.
The man coughed violently and struggled, but faced with such an overwhelming difference in strength, he was as ridiculous as a toad.
"How did you escape, and why did you attack us?" Dark asked, looking into his eyes.
Then, without waiting for the man's reply, she gently tapped his temple.
Mental and magical power were instantly poured in, triggering the "Soul Loss Curse".
He then pinched two fingers together and actually pulled a wisp of bubble out of his brain.
As his "Netherworld Art" advanced to the intermediate level, Dark's control over mental power became increasingly stronger. He was able to extract memories that had surfaced in his brain without using the "Demonic Brain Dropper".
Although this would cause irreversible brain damage, the point is to highlight convenience.
"Snapped."
Dak popped the bubble and immediately knew how the person had escaped.
As a local of Phoenix City and a circus magician who possessed some mental magic, he had a wide network of connections. With a little mental magic and bribery, he managed to get rid of one of the guards and escape successfully.
His first thought upon escaping was to kill the adulterous woman he hadn't yet killed. But on the way, he happened to spot Emma investigating the case, and a murderous intent arose within him; he followed her relentlessly.
As the carriage was about to enter Suzaku Street, he couldn't hold back any longer and finally made his move. As if he were being staged for an accident, he was reflexively kicked away by the unicorn black horse.
After learning the truth, Daklü hesitated for a moment, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a small cup.
This cup is extremely small, only enough to hold a mouthful of wine. The cup is made of bronze and engraved with patterns. When you hold it in your hand, it feels unusually cold.
