After that, the investigation team stayed in this hall for a very long time.
Aquinita personally led the secret letter out of the snowy mountains, watching the twins, who were skilled in "Telepathic Arts," deliver the contents of the letter to the royal capital, and then from the royal capital to the academy, before she returned to her residence.
After returning to their lodgings and resting for the night, they re-entered the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple" and arrived at the temple at noon the next day.
She also brought with her a large amount of necessary resources such as tools, materials, and food. With the materials and tools, Dark and the others were able to build a laboratory on the spot in that hall.
One laboratory, three workbenches.
There is one each for Dark, Claire, and Yalvert.
The other maids all served as assistants.
Once the laboratory was completed, the hall gradually filled with an academic atmosphere of research and discussion, and the original atmosphere of combat and exploration was completely gone.
That morning, Dark and Arvit went out to explore again and found several ice statues that corresponded to the "divine bodies" in the temple.
One of the ice statues corresponds to a "divine body" and "Taurus Palace armor" that are highly similar, making it Arvit's next research subject.
Dark followed her around, learning the techniques of "armor" transmutation and secondary transmutation, absorbing knowledge as quickly as a sponge.
During this period, more and more ice coffins were broken open, the "divine bodies" were freed, and the data of the remaining forty-seven "divine bodies" were recorded.
o
Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.
On the third day, after getting up early, Dak continued to go out with Arvit to find the ice statue to bring back, and then began the research experiments after noon.
On the fourth day, everything proceeded as usual. Aquinita went to the camp to replenish resources. On her return to the temple, she brought back a reply from St. Marian's Academy.
Dark opened the reply and glanced at it, then understood the situation and a smile appeared on his lips. "How is it going?" Arvit asked curiously.
Dark said, "The targeted breeding of the 'Beast of Life' is in its final stage, and we expect to see results in a few days. She will then bring the results for final applicability testing."
“Good news,” Arvit said. “It seems the development of ‘Magic Heaven’ can officially begin.”
Dak nodded in agreement.
Many construction ideas cannot be realized using only magical spirits and golems. To achieve the desired development of "Magical Paradise," the involvement of professionals is ultimately necessary.
With the "Glowing Disease" conquered, the "Magic Kingdom" will no longer restrict the entry of living beings, and the entire construction process can naturally be accelerated. At the same time, the "Magic City" he established near the City of Freedom will also be built at an accelerated pace.
During these days of research and exploration, Dak also frequently discussed the kingdom's situation with Arvit.
Both men agreed that the situation of the Kingdom of Yunic would only worsen.
As one of the largest powers dependent on the kingdom, the Dimon family will inevitably decline as the situation worsens.
However, betraying the kingdom and joining Zeus was not within their consideration.
There's really no need for them to share the kingdom's fate, whether it prospers or perishes. It's not that they lack patriotism towards the Kingdom of Yuni, but rather that the situation is what it is, and the Kingdom of Yuni is far from being destroyed. Even if some of its population is taken away by Zeus's kingdom, as long as they can find a way to preserve their foundation, they will have a chance to rise again later.
The key is not to be the "first to stick out" during this process.
This falls under the category of internal political struggle within the country.
If the royal family finds a powerful ally to ensure the kingdom's foundation is not destroyed, then the fighting spirit that was suppressed due to the threat of national subjugation may well rise again.
At that time, the royal family might seize this opportunity, using the pretext of righteousness, to allow the forces they want to eliminate to become the "scapegoats," thereby eliminating their political enemies. Although doing such a thing at this time would be considered highly irrational by most people.
But history has long proven that the so-called "reasonableness" is utterly worthless.
The once formidable foe, seemingly invincible, has become as insignificant as himself in the context of the "revival of the gods."
Then the idea of using the power of the gods to destroy them in one fell swoop would naturally arise.
Regardless of whether the other party will actually do it, we must remain vigilant. In other words, the family needs a way out.
The "City of Freedom" was originally a very good way out.
But now that there is an opportunity to create a better way out, there is absolutely no reason not to do it.
Of course, the so-called "fallback plan" is the last resort when there is no other way out, and the family will not think about going to that point.
Alvitt wasn't particularly power-hungry. She was quite satisfied with the family's current power level.
Her wish is to maintain the status quo.
—The same old mindset of maintaining the status quo.
Dark's hopes for the "City of Magic" differed slightly from hers.
Dark wanted to build a large laboratory and an educational base for magical elves.
His vision for the "City of Magic" was similar to that of St. Marian Academy. He hoped for a completely neutral city that would not participate in any conflicts.
Turning the "City of Magic" into a "way out" is only one compatible option, not the only one.
……
If he were to become a god one day, the "City of Magic" would become his earthly divine kingdom, and the "Heavenly Kingdom of Magic" would become his celestial court.
Time flies.
Before they knew it, it was the evening of the fifth day.
Of the remaining forty-seven "divine bodies," twenty-four have already merged with the ice statue.
Among them, there are a total of twenty "divine bodies" that have been freed from the ice coffins.
There are sixteen "divine bodies" that have been "activated" by Angry. Dark conducted the most detailed examination on these twenty "divine bodies", classifying their divinity and speculating on the lineage of authority they held in their previous lives, so as to extract materials more easily.
That very night, Alvitt finally began the second refinement of the "Taurus Armor," that is, to deify it.
Dark immediately put aside all his research and completely transformed into Arvit's little assistant, focusing all his attention on the task at hand.
Two o'clock in the morning.
The "Taurus Palace Sacred Armor" has completed its deification and has been completely transformed into the "Taurus Palace Divine Armor".
sixth day.
That is, Saturday, May 22nd. The dueling matches of this year's Academy Cup officially began. Darkdemon was not present.
Pandora and Drogon were not present either. But Gina Grant returned to the Academy in time.
Pandora left the academy after the tea party ended.
She originally intended to stay at the academy until graduation, and then go out on adventures to find her own destiny.
But at the tea party, she became Aphrodite's student, establishing a relationship with her based on "investment and being invested in".
Aphrodite was engrossed in her own "art" and had no interest in training "chosen ones," so naturally she wouldn't spend much effort on cultivating her students.
But she was not stingy in providing some intelligence.
For example, the place where a certain "legendary dragon" fell.
……
The so-called "legendary dragon" literally means a dragon that has become a legend.
In the eyes of a goddess like Aphrodite, these were the dragons that existed since ancient times, renowned and comparable to the gods.
Throughout her long life, Pandora had witnessed the fall of more than one "legendary dragon." Although she hadn't consciously tried to remember them, she could always recall one or two places that left a deep impression when needed. With Aphrodite's guidance, Pandora stopped wasting time. After submitting her previously completed research report on "legendary dragons" to the professor, she embarked on her journey once more.
As the saying goes, "The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit." If you want to challenge the "God's Cup," you can't stop for a moment.
Gina Grant's return greatly excited the students of the House of Fools.
She possesses an absolute advantage among the sixth-year students, especially now that Pandora and Drogon have withdrawn from the competition.
Furthermore, new powerhouses are emerging from each grade of the Fool's Academy. This year may be their best chance to win the Academy Cup.
However, the Magic Academy was not discouraged by losing Pandora. According to the competition rules, sixth-year students had no room to challenge for higher ranks; they could only exist as a defensive barrier and could not take the initiative to attack and gain more points.
In contrast, fifth-grade students have the opportunity to challenge sixth-grade students.
The current leader of the Magic Academy, Winiscrat, is a fifth-year student.
However, Winiscat's options for challenging sixth-year students are limited. Aside from Gina Grant of the Fool's House, the sixth-year student from the Noble House is Eluri Clarissa, who shone brightly in the World Cup; neither of them are easy opponents.
Winnie's only opponent she was absolutely confident she could defeat was Sherlock Holmes of the Knights of the High Priests.
She must seize the opportunity to gain the right to challenge Shrek.
In short, this year's Duel Challenge is full of variables.
Even the House of Nobles, which currently holds a lead, cannot be said to have a guaranteed victory.
However, the lineup of players in this year's Noble Academy is also very impressive, with each player being an outstanding player with considerable potential.
First up in the second-year competition is Anna, one of the two princesses, Anna and Angie. The two princesses are evenly matched, and even their deck compositions are very similar.
However, Angie lost the rock-paper-scissors contest, so Anna ultimately got the chance to play.
The third-year student representing China is Diana.
Upon returning from the tea party, Diana received gifts from Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and Hestia, the goddess of the hearth. She was radiant with divine energy and was not to be underestimated.
The fourth-grade contestant was Mary Bond.
Having grown step by step with a solid foundation, Ma Li successfully eliminated last year's contestant, Elsie Kevin, and won a spot in this year's fourth-year competition.
She will add even more brilliance to this year's duel competition.
Snake Harriman was the fifth-grader who continued to compete, and his skills had become even stronger after moving up another grade.
The sixth-grade contestant was naturally senior Eluri Clarissa.
Edwin successfully stepped back from the limelight, working as an organizer and intelligence analyst for the House of Nobles.
Therefore, the only goal for this year's Noble House is to win the championship!
……
Dark was very confident in the lineup of this year's House of Nobles. Therefore, he did not deliberately mention it in the laboratory of the Goddess Temple in the Snow Mountain.
He believed that when he returned to the academy, he would be greeted with the good news that the Noble Academy had won the Academy Cup.
Unfortunately, he no longer needs the Holy Grail. Otherwise, he would have rushed back to try and get a share of its rewards.
The dueling arena at St. Marian Academy was bustling with activity. The laboratory inside the Temple of the Snow Mountain Goddess, however, remained eerily quiet.
After last night's Armed Godification experiment, Dark has gained a deeper understanding of "Armed" type magic cards and urgently needs time to digest it.
Because he hadn't left the lab this morning, completely absorbed in his research. This research continued into the evening.
Angry reactivated the four "divine bodies" that had merged into one. Through repeated activation experiments, she gained a deeper understanding of the "Aquarius Holy Armor" and vaguely grasped a special feeling.
She expressed all her feelings.
Arvit was pleasantly surprised by this, stating that she might be developing an understanding of "time," similar to "divine cause."
Humans cannot see or touch "time". Therefore, they cannot form a cognition of the specific existence of "time".
However, the "Aquarius Holy Armor" replaced the "organs" in this process, allowing Angry to form a more concrete understanding of "time".
This kind of understanding has very limited practical applications. But in this "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple," it is the most valuable ability.
Once Angela successfully develops an understanding of "time," it means she will be able to perceive the existence of "disordered time flow" on her own, without needing a watch face.
The shape and speed of "disordered time flow" will also form corresponding concepts.
In addition, one can participate in the excavation of the secrets hidden within the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple".
This is the most crucial point.
May 23rd, Sunday.
Day 2 of the duel competition.
The competition was in full swing in the open-air dueling arena of St. Marian Academy.
Within the "divine kingdom" of the Snow Mountain Goddess Temple, Dark sets out once again, joining Arvit in search of new ice statues.
When he returned at noon, four more ice statues had appeared in his "Orb of Truth." Among them, one ice statue emanated a very distinct aura belonging to the "Moon Goddess"!
Dark had already set his sights on a "divine body" that exuded the aura of the "Moon Goddess" a few days earlier.
However, because the corresponding ice image could not be found, no material was extracted from it.
Now that the corresponding ice statue has finally been found, there is no need to wait any longer.
He rushed back to the laboratory and fused the ice statue with the "divine body." During this process, Angry, dressed in the "Aquarius Holy Armor," held his breath and sensed, finally feeling a trace of "time fusion."
She tried her best to express her feelings in words, so that Dak and others could also have a concept of this integration.
