Chapter 184: DemiDevimon has no regrets in his life 4k
"Here, this is the wine you want."
Simmons shook three bottles of wine in his hand before placing them on the table.
"What kind of wine are these?"
Dark asked curiously.
Simmons chuckled, then picked out one bottle and said, "First of all, this bottle is [Morning Dew]."
"Morning Dew?"
Dark looked carefully.
This wine named [Morning Dew] was stored in a transparent bottle. The liquor was light green, with a green apple juice feel, but it was clearer and slightly more transparent than green apple juice.
"Don't waste your energy, no matter how you look at it, you won't be able to understand it." Simmons said indifferently, "Anyway, this bottle is for little Lily. This one is 1000 credits, a fair price."
Dark: "Uh..."
He instinctively thought Simmons was joking.
After all, he only spent 100 credits buying Fairy Wine here before.
This time the price was increased ten times at once, who could afford it?
But Simmons ignored his consternation, and continued to pick out the second bottle, saying, "This bottle is [Eight Corners]. Only the Sage of Beasts is worthy of it."
The so-called [Eight Corners Wine] turned out to be a bottle of red liquor!
Even without opening the bottle, Dark could feel the fire hidden in it, which was probably not something that ordinary wine lovers could endure.
Simmons added: "This bottle of [Eight Corners] has not been able to find a worthy buyer for many years. Since you are here today, I will sell you cheap at 2000 credits."
Dark: "Huh?"
How is this cheap?
Simmons didn't care about Dark's reaction, he picked up the third bottle of wine and put it down, with a hint of softness in his eyes: "This third bottle of wine, named [Green Fruit], is a bottle of fruit wine brewed with Green Fruit."
Green Fruit was a type of green fruit that was very similar to plums.
Among these three kinds of wine, only this green fruit wine was common and quite cheap.
Seeing it together with the other two bottles of wine made it feel out of place.
But that was what made it stand out.
Dark realized right away that it was the protagonist of these three bottles of wine!
And sure enough.
Simmons picked up the green fruit wine and said solemnly, "I know it's hard to get three thousand credits in the first year, but as long as you promise me one thing, the three bottles of wine will all be yours."
Dark said curiously, "You need to tell me what I need to promise you first."
Simmons lightly tapped his middle finger and said, "Since you want to give wine to two professors as gifts, then adding one more should not be out of place, right?"
...
Dark, who left the tavern, hesitated.
"Forget it, I will do him a favor."
He took the three bottles of wine and walked down the street.
Wine alone would not be enough, it must be accompanied by gift boxes for wine, and each gift box must be stuffed with a Christmas card.
Dark wandered around Traveller Street for a long time before finally finding the gift box suitable for wine.
After that, he went to the candy store and bought thirty-six chocolate gift boxes.
In order to bring the chocolate back, Dark had to summon Gatomon to help.
He was finally back to the dormitory by dusk and stacked up gifts in the corners until it became like a small hill.
After packing the three bottles of wine in the dormitory, he finally felt a little relieved.
"Next, I have to take care of gifts for my mother and Pandora-senpai."
Dark thought about it for a while and then sat down before his desk. He planned to write a letter to Alvette.
He wanted to tell her everything he had encountered after he left home for the first time: the kind professors, the friendship of classmates, the fulfilling academy life, the thirst and yearning for knowledge, the thrill and excitement of the Moon Goddess incident, and the smile and joy of the first duel.
And, the daily routine of raising cat grass.
Finally, he also attached the Crimson Star medal he had won.
Then the most precious gift for his mother was completed....
"Now, there is only Pandora-senpai’s gift left."
"But what does she like? And what does she need?"
"..."
Dark suddenly realized that he really didn't know anything about senpai.
"Let me think, let me think."
"She's a fourth year student from Magister House, the student representative of the year. She has excellent grades, is a part-time librarian... and she has a pet chinchilla..."
"Is that it?"
Dark leaned back in his chair for a moment.
The interaction with senpai was originally because she promised to guide him in the refining of the [Fusion] magic card.
But, in his spare time over the past two weeks, Dark had been focusing on learning the prerequisite knowledge of [Zoo] magic card refining and he had shelved the research on [Curse Cage] and [Fusion].
The good news was that Magical Language Advanced Chapter: Resurrected Characters he was learning for refining [Zoo] magic cards was something also beneficial for understanding the refining of [Curse Cage] and [Fusion].
"It's not possible to make [Fusion] for now, but I can start trying to make a [Curse Cage]."
"In addition, since I have time, I can also make one or two magical spirits from the first tier to fill the deck."
"It happens that tomorrow is Sunday, so I should make all the preparations tonight!"
"As for senpai's gift… I wonder if she will be free next week?"
...
Once decided, Dark showed terrifying hands on ability.
In the evening, he first reviewed the refining steps of [Curse Cage], identified and familiarized himself with the various materials that had been prepared.
The last step was the most important step, that was, relying on his own understanding, using Magical Language to write his own Magic Charm!
Magic Charm was generally divided into Generic Spells and exclusive Magic Charm depending on whether it was universal or not.
Derived from this was the Generic Spell Card and the exclusive Magic Charm Card.
Due to the production process of Magic Charm Cards, most of the Magic Charm Cards were exclusive Magic Charm Cards as they contained the brand of the maker themselves everywhere and only the maker themselves could use it smoothly.
If they wanted to sell and popularize the card in the market, they needed to go through "generalization".
"Generalization" was a relatively advanced production process that was very difficult to learn.
Therefore, Dark could only write exclusive Magic Charms at present.
The "exclusive" limitation of the exclusive Magic Charm was mainly because the writing of the Magic Charm was not composed of strokes. It involved using one's own magic energy to form the part of the Magical Language that made the Magic Charm evolve naturally, so that when the final writing was completed, the Magic Charm would match the magic energy of the magister themselves.
All in all, it was a very difficult process.
It was one o'clock in the night by the time Dark was finally able to successfully complete the initial step, but it was still not perfect.
But his brain, which was forcibly boosted by apple juice, was overloaded and he had to rest for the night.
...
Sunday morning at seven.
There was a drizzle of rain outside the window.
After taking a shower, Dark temporarily skipped the morning exercise and started the further adjustment and refinement of the [Curse Cage] Magic Charm.
At About 7:30, DemiDevimon returned with breakfast and morning's paper.
But he didn't stop working on the charm until 8:30. Trying to clear his mind while eating, he flipped through "Daily Sage."
Weekend’s Daily Sage always had some big news to boost sales.
The headline this time was the twin paladins belonging to the holy church.
The twin paladins in the photo were very young and seemed to be top students who had just graduated from Holy Mystery Academy last year. They both had blond hair and blue eyes, looking beautiful and handsome.
It seemed that the holy church intended to make them the new image of the holy church in the new century, and they had been promoting them on a large scale since they were still in the academy.
The news published this time was about the twins working together to destroy a heretical sect.
According to the newspapers, it was a horrific cult trying to resurrect the demons on Christmas Day.
And with Christmas approaching, more and more such associations had emerged.
Humans have always sought stability in chaos and plotted chaos in stability.
The demons had indeed been exterminated, but the demonic beings with the blood of demons, and human beings who were inclined to the demonic beliefs still existed; even the demon king was not completely dead.
The reproduction of demons was different from that of human beings. It was not only through oviparity, but also by splitting or even contamination and corruption.
It was just that the bloodline strength of the Demon Race generally depended on rank. The lower the rank, the weaker it was.
In other words, while the surviving low-rank demons were not a big threat, as long as there was at least one remaining demon in the high-rank, it would be a big disaster!
And the demon king was undoubtedly the pinnacle of the demon race!
Once the demon king was truly resurrected, it wouldn't take too long to revive the demon race.
"If the benchmark of the demon king here is Voldemort, then is it really a low rank demon king?"
...
Dark put down the newspaper and shook his head slightly.
What bullshit demon king, what's the use even if it's resurrected?
The ten years that it lay in the coffin could be called the period of rapid development in the new era, and the explosive growth of magic technology is no longer comparable to the time of war.
Ten years ago, the hero needed to sacrifice himself to seal the demon king.
Now, ten years later, it may not even be able to withstand a kick of Valkyrie!
In the original work, it was even wiped out by the son of the hero who had not graduated yet, which showed how weak it was.
As the saying goes, knowledge is power.
Unless it concentrates on learning the magic technology and becomes the [Demon King Magister] of the new century, it will not be a big threat.
In the past two years, the holy church has been promoting the "demon king threat theory", and the prophecy of "demon king resurrection" has frequently been reported. However, it was just a trick that hawks used to gain power.
...
Dark saw through this clearly.
After all, although he didn't know the process, he knew the ending and knew that the final boss of this game was not the demon king, but the demon god.
A demon king who was not even the final boss could only bully the students at school at most.
"Huh? Wait!"
"Am I not a student at school?"
Dark was lost in thought.
...
About half past nine.
Dark restarted his research and continued the compilation and refinement of [Curse Cage].
It was half past ten by the time he finally had satisfactory results.
He calmed down and finished his lunch before starting the refining of [Curse Cage].
Although [Curse Cage] was a magic spell card, it required a refining method compatible with the magical spirit card.
Like [Fusion], it was a very special magic spell card with a magical spirit card as base.
Using [Curse Cage], one could temporarily seal pseudo life forms such as familiar spirit and golem and use it as a magical spirit card.
The first half of [Curse Cage] refining was basically like refining a magical spirit card.
In the second half, it began to gradually change.
Because of the refining experience of [Blinking Spell], Dark completed the second half of the refining smoothly.
...
Considering that a single copy of [Curse Cage] required a full 1500 credits, Dark was more serious and cautious than ever.
It took him two full hours to prepare, and another hour and a half to refine.
When he finally succeeded, even he felt incredible.
He successfully completed it in one go!
This meant that his Magical Language was already better than most of the students in the second year.
...
The completed [Curse Cage] was a magic card with an image of a wooden cage on the card surface.
Each direction of the cage was affixed to a talisman with several key magic characters written on it.
Dark picked up the [Curse Cage] and checked it carefully several times before raising his head excitedly and looking for his dear friend everywhere.
Five minutes later, DemiDevimon, who had sneaked out, was called back by the order of the sorting card...
"DemiDevimon." Dark shook the [Curse Cage] card and said, "From now on, you can be my magical spirit and fight with me in the dueling arena, aren't you happy?"
DemiDevimon shook its head rapidly.
"Not bad." Dark squinted his eyes, "I can even sense your excitement."
Then he suddenly activated [Curse Cage]!
In a strong light, the base of the cage suddenly appeared under DemiDevimon's feet and a wooden fence suddenly fell from the sky, nailing onto the base. A layer of wooden cover then landed on top of the fence to seal the cage completely.
On every face of the wooden cage, golden magic characters appeared.
Finally, a huge symbol for "curse" slowly emerged!
DemiDevimon was immediately locked in the Curse Cage, and then turned into light with the Curse Cage, and got into the magic card in Dark's hand.
The face of the card changed rapidly until it became a beautiful painting - "DemiDevimon in a Cage".
Dark stretched out his finger, poured in magic energy, and poked at the cage on the card.
The cage shook slightly, and DemiDevimon, who was locked inside, hugged its head with its wings, and shrank to the corner of the cage.
Dark couldn't help laughing.
...
[Card name: DemiDevimon]
[Type: Spirit card]
[Level: ?]
[Race: Demon-type]
[Attribute: Shadow]
[Magic energy: 100]
[Attack: 100]
[Defense: 100]
[Ultimate: Demi Dart]
...
DemiDevimon converted into a magical spirit card could get ultimate even without using [Pride I].
And the advantage of having wings allowed it to fly into the sky to avoid most attacks.
"In the name of Dark Demon, come out, DemiDevimon!"
With the completion of Normal Summoning Spell, DemiDevimon materialized in light.
For the first time, DemiDevimon, who appeared as a normal magical spirit, fluttered its wings and flew out.
Dark grabbed its claws, hugged it into his arms and coaxed: "Good, as long as you are well-heaved, I promise not to lock you in outside the duel!"
