Chapter 1203

Since Dark began to concentrate on studying, Lily began to run around everywhere. If it weren't for the flying speed of [Thunder Chicken] that limited her return, the entire Free City might have been in chaos.

And every time she went out, she brought Little Bird, Little Magnemon and Little Devilmon with her. She looked like a child king with a group of children, playing mischief everywhere.

She didn't have enough fun at all, so it was impossible for her to go back.

As for Professor Medea, it was naturally because... her [Black Beast] replacement had not been found yet!

[Black Beast] is a very special shadow creature, which can be barely classified as elemental life in a broad sense.

They do not need to be fed, they can absorb energy by curling up in the shadow.

They have no fixed shape and can change freely with the enlargement and reduction of the pumpkin carriage.

They can travel by land, sea and air, and their speed is not slow.

It is indeed a very difficult thing to find a creature that meets all three conditions at the same time.

I don't know if Professor Medea can finally find it before returning to the academy.

…

After sending Professor Sylph and the others away, the remaining six quickly returned to their own life trajectories, as the saying goes - do what you should do.

The second semester of the second year will start on Monday, January 6.

On the evening of January 5, there will be an opening ceremony that will connect the previous and the next.

They just need to rush back before the opening ceremony begins.

From that afternoon, Aurora's work has also reached the final stage.

Dak occasionally helps, but most of the time he just does his own things on the side.

In a blink of an eye, another day has passed safely, and the new year is getting closer and closer.

At 9:30 in the evening, Dak said "good night" to the magic elves sitting around the room, and then put them back into the magic card one by one.

Then he finally called out the system list and summarized the seven sins index in December as usual.

"System, expand the indicator."

[Pride: 94→90]

[Jealousy: 42→40]

[Rage: 89→88]

[Laziness: 59→57]

[Greed: 91→93]

[Gluttony: 93→94]

[Bliss: 93→98]

A lot of things happened in December, causing the overall value of the major sins to fluctuate greatly, but they are basically concentrated on [Greed], [Gluttony] and [Bliss].

Among them, [Bliss] is the most.

In December, Dak actually drew a full 6 points of [Bliss], but the final value of [Bliss] did not decrease but increased, reaching 98 points, and was on the verge of breaking 100.

Since his ability to control his emotions has gradually strengthened, he has rarely been able to reach such a high value.

But occasionally, he will indulge himself a little bit - this is the evil result of indulgence!

Fortunately, a month has passed, and it is time for the CD to turn over. Tomorrow night, I can find time to relieve the pressure of [Bliss].

Originally, because of the collection of [Moon Goddess Bliss], he no longer needed [Bliss], so he preferred other major sins, but now it seems that it is a bit troublesome to control it accurately.

In addition to 6 points of [Bliss], 6 points of [Pride], 4 points of [Greed] and 4 points of [Gluttony] were also drawn in December.

Now the remaining major sin reserves are:

[Pride]: 10

[Rage]: 1

[Greed]: 24

[Gluttony]: 1

[Bliss]: 6

[Moon Goddess Bliss]: 1000+

After a serious summary, Dak began to reflect deeply.

Recently, the control of [Greed], [Gluttony] and [Bliss] has been gradually reduced, especially [Bliss]. Before it is reduced to a safe range, it must not be allowed to increase again.

However, considering the next schedule, the danger of [Greed] is even greater.

This is also something that needs to be paid special attention to.

After thinking carefully, Dak stuffed the naughty little bird into the quilt and went to sleep early.

…

January 1, five o'clock in the morning.

A touch of golden red lit up the corner of the Free City, and then spread to the whole city at a very fast speed.

The new year has arrived in this bright and pleasant sky.

There is no New Year's Day or Spring Festival in this world, and Christmas is already the last festival of the year.

But this day when the calendar turns over is still a special day in the hearts of many people.

On this day, every household washed off the dust and put on new clothes. The haze surrounding the Free City was swept away, and the whole city was full of joy.

And the brightest pearl in the Free City also got up early and dressed up in front of the mirror.

I was busy day and night a few days ago and neglected to dress up.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror today, I can't help but think about whether I was too careless before, which made a bad impression on the person in my heart.

Although it is called dressing up, it is actually just trimming the bangs a little, covering up a little tiredness, and applying a little red lipstick to make my temperament more vivid.

Because she is going to explore the temple today, Aurora changed into easy-to-move casual clothes, which are a bit thin compared to normal clothes in this season.

But she is at least a quarter of the Sun Chaser Titan bloodline, so it is impossible for her to be afraid of the cold.

Put on a hat that can block gravel and leather gloves to prevent scratches on your hands, then put on a short sword and card holder, and finally put on the two brooches, one red and one blue.

Aurora went out with excitement.

It’s finally time to relax!

…

Before six o'clock, a group of people who were going to explore the temple today had gathered in the conference room that was usually used as a restaurant.

Except for Professor Mitya, the other five people have all arrived, chatting one by one about what they have seen in the past few days, and occasionally mentioning the contents of the newspaper.

After such a long time, the Warcraft siege incident encountered in the Free City finally reached the Royal Capital and was published in newspapers and sent back here.

Under the deliberate arrangement of the Duke's Palace, this matter was exaggerated into a major event involving military-civilian cooperation and the whole city united to fight against the remnants of the demon clan.

The person who was pushed to take the blame was [Lich] Ian Tuttle.

This "big villain" who has been incorporated into legends a long time ago has the charm of making people believe in the evil deeds he has done as soon as he hears his name.

In short, even the people in the Free City quickly believed that the time of the Warcraft siege was planned by the old lich, and the [Tower Demon] Atta who was killed in public two days ago was the old lich's Number one subordinate.

Of course, they gave [Tower Demon] Atta a new name with a lot of words.

As for those at St. Marian College, they were not in the press.

This was proposed by Professor Silver on his own initiative.

The main reason is naturally because the existence of No. 1 and No. 2 is a top secret that cannot be leaked.

Today, more than ten years after the end of the war, this huge victory in the Free City is undoubtedly welcomed by the people of the Kingdom.

With a bad feeling towards the demons, some people who were not too cool with the Free City because it was the home of mixed races could not help but change their attitude towards it.

In addition, this victory can also be said to be a demonstration in the city of freedom.

War is originally a way to show force.

Those who have a sneak peek at the City of Freedom will be more restrained after this victory.

And more adventurers who are already very interested in the Free City will be attracted, allowing the Free City to receive more population inflows and develop faster and better.

But under the surface of enjoying all the benefits, the City of Freedom is also silently licking its wounds.

The loss this time was actually huge.

…

However, some people are dead and some are alive. The living people cannot stop because of the dead people.

The road is ahead and must be walked.

…

"Talk about visiting the temple!" Lily quickly interrupted the discussion on those topics, her eyes widening.

Although this time the temple exploration was organized by Dak, he was not the most excited person among them.

Professor Lily jumped up and down with excitement when she first heard about the planning of this operation.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had gone on an adventure like this with a few friends to an unknown place.

The college's dungeons always made her unmotivated.

What she always missed was the days when she was just starting out, running around with Kazel and others.

At this moment, on the first day of the new year, she finally regained some of her past feelings.

Well, it would be better if those two maids weren't around!

It's not that Lily doesn't like Ollie and Angeli, it's just that they don't have an adventurous vibe at all!

However, everything cannot be forced to be perfect, so she can only make do with it.

Aurora showed a slight smile and said: "Actually, I don't know the temple thoroughly. When we discovered it, it was just by chance. At that time, we didn't expect that there were still things buried underground in this city. Such a temple. When we were working on the city's underground pipes, we discovered some air leaks. Well, warm or cold wind would blow out from some cracks during the day. , is a warm wind, which will turn into a cold wind at night. Due to the alternation of hot and cold, the cracks will gradually increase and eventually break..."

"Then, have you finished exploring?" Lily asked the question she was most concerned about.

Aurora shook her head and said: "It is very dangerous in the temple, and it is often unexpected and impossible to guard against. We can only proceed step by step and explore carefully, so the progress is very slow."

"Not bad, not bad." Lily nodded immediately and praised.

Aurora smiled and said, "With Professor Lily here this time, we should be able to go deeper."

Lily immediately patted her chest and promised, "That's right, I'm here!"

Dark couldn't help but raise his forehead, always feeling that it might be a big mistake to bring Professor Lily with him.

But at this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. After breakfast, they were ready to set off.

Then, Dak saw Aurora summoning a meter-high baby rhinoceros.

"Three-star bird species - [Heavy Armored Rhinoceros]."

Aurora introduced her magic elf, and then asked the attendant to tie the huge backpack she had prepared in advance to the back of [Heavy Armored Rhinoceros].

This [Heavy Armored Rhinoceros] is round, one meter three to four meters long, one meter tall, with a very low lower body. It has a metal shell like armor on its body. It is a magic elf of steel and ground types.

From the appearance, [Heavy Armored Rhinoceros] should be a defensive type, and it is really stable when running!

Put the backpack on its back, and even some fragile items can be better preserved.

Dak didn't know what Aurora had put in this backpack that was about the same size as the [Heavy Armored Rhino], and he didn't dare to ask.

Anyway, with this logistics, there is no need to worry about food and water.

What was slightly surprising was that the entrance to the temple was very close to the City Lord's Mansion!

Although the underground pipeline where the traces were first found was relatively far away, it was finally discovered that it was located near the City Lord's Mansion after the temple was excavated.

In order to conceal the truth and prevent the temple from endangering ordinary people, they planted a large number of trees above the temple and built it into a forest. Then they planted flowers and plants outside the forest and surrounded it with a wall, making it look like the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

The entrance of the temple is guarded all year round, and the entry and exit inspection is very strict.

Of course, those procedures are naturally meaningless in front of the little city lord.

Dak and others followed Aurora and passed the entrance inspection very smoothly and entered the underground.
