Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much.
But then he thought about it.
If it weren't for the threat of the demon god's bloodline, perhaps I would be the one saying "I'll try harder tomorrow."
He might even become more degenerate!
"Indeed, everything has its good and bad sides."
Dak took a sip of milk; it was very sweet.
……
Professor Kazel, the professor of magic theory, was a very kind old man.
He is said to be one of the few remaining alchemists who existed in Merlin's time.
Because of his extensive knowledge and eloquence, Professor Cazell's classes were very interesting, far surpassing those two little devil professors.
Because of his goblin blood, Professor Kazel was only 1.43 meters tall, taller than a pure-blooded goblin but shorter than a normal person.
But no one will discriminate against him because of this.
In fact, he was the most popular of all the professors—it would have been even better if the theory of magic were a little simpler!
When Dak found Professor Cazell, he was tinkering with something he couldn't understand in the lab.
“Dimon? What brings you here?” Kazel noticed him first.
"Professor," Dak asked curiously, "what kind of experiment are you conducting?"
Professor Cazell grinned smugly, vigorously stirring the large tub of pumpkin sauce in front of him: "I'm preparing to make 'Jack-o'-the-Sweetie'!"
Dark thought for a moment and then realized, exclaiming in surprise, "No way, Professor, there's still a whole month until Halloween!"
"Putting everything first is my motto in life," Professor Cazell said with a smile.
……
Dak easily obtained the key to the adjacent laboratory from Professor Cazell.
It's also because he usually behaves too well, he's practically a model student even more so than Emma, and all the professors like him a lot.
This time, when he suggested "practicing making emotion cards," Professor Kazel lent him the key without any suspicion and even offered to personally guide him!
Of course, Dak couldn't very well ask him for guidance, so he declined, saying that "the professor is busy."
We arrived at the laboratory next door.
Dak locked the door and opened the lab cabinet.
Sure enough, it was filled with all sorts of materials.
Although they are all basic materials, making mood cards does not require anything too high-end.
He counted carefully and found that he had everything he needed. He then took a divider tray from the side, took out some of the materials he needed from the laboratory cabinet, and put them into the divider tray one by one.
Next, we'll try making "refined emotion cards" for the first time, following the textbook instructions!
Dak opened the textbook to the page explaining how to make it, placed it on the table, and weighed it down with a small object.
Then they began to prepare the potion!
The "Voice of Joy" potion can make people laugh happily after drinking it.
This potion doesn't actually make people happy, but it can replace "happy emotions" and be used as a kind of "ink".
The effect will be enhanced if you think about happy things while using it to create mood cards.
Mages have always believed that emotions can be transmitted through magic.
In other words, it doesn't use the magic dropper to absorb and inject emotions. Instead, it simply uses the "Voice of Joy" potion as a substitute, applying it to a blank, unfinished magic card before refining it to create a magic card that conveys the emotion of joy!
Originally, the simple method for making mood cards was to use the "Sound of Joy" potion.
Dark simply omitted the potion and replaced it with "Pride".
But since the first step is to conduct a real experiment with "refined emotion cards," it is necessary to start with the preparation of the potion.
These are all things I learned and practiced in Potions class!
Dak spent half an hour brewing a pale green potion that looked exactly like the one in the textbook, and then poured it into the "ink bottle".
He then used his magic pen to draw "ink" and completely colored the face of a blank magic card with a light green.
Greenery brings joy, and Dak was in a fairly good mood.
Next, various materials are boiled into a paste, which is then applied to the surface of the magic card. After it dries naturally in the sun or with hot air, a transparent film is formed.
Then, following the order, the No. 7 transmutation circle was first drawn on that transparent membrane to carry out the initial transmutation, so that the "Voice of Joy" potion and the magic card would be initially fused.
Then, draw the No. 18 transmutation circle on the back to form a frame and lock the energy in the magic card.
Then, the transmutation arrays 21, 33, and 34 were transmuted simultaneously, forming an energy loop that allows the magic cards to recover their magic power automatically after being depleted.
Finally, refine item #13 and amplify item #9!
The whole process is quite complicated, and there must be some overlap between each alchemy array.
The goal is to ensure the correct operation of each transmutation array during startup, without interfering with the effects of the other transmutation arrays.
Despite practicing many times in the library last night, Dak still failed on his first official attempt!
He was not discouraged and succeeded on his second attempt!
……
"Oh my god. I thought you made simple mood cards!"
Professor Cazell pushed open the door with a look of surprise, as if the lock were nothing to him.
His face was smeared with pumpkin sauce.
Chapter 20: The Beginning of the Pride Series Magic Cards
Dark wasn't overly surprised by Professor Cazell's sudden intervention.
He showed his work to the professor and took the opportunity to ask about the problems he encountered during the production process.
Professor Cazell was amazed that he was able to create the "exquisite emotion cards" all by himself.
He then casually offered various answers while examining the emotion cards made by Dak, finally exclaiming, "Dimon, your understanding of emotions is unexpectedly profound."
"is it?"
Dark looked completely bewildered.
Because he genuinely didn't know he had studied emotions...
“Sometimes being too modest isn’t good,” Professor Cazell blinked. “You should be proud of yourself. When I was your age, I was playing in the mud underground.”
Then he turned around and said, "If you want to continue, remember to bring the key to my office before 5 p.m.
Dark: "Yes, Professor!"
……
"There are two blank magic cards left."
Dark's gaze swept over the last two blank magic cards, and then he summoned Impmon.
"Magic Summoning!"
Before Devimon could react, the ball of light that flew out of the "Happy Card" struck it on the back of the head.
Then its naturally fierce expression instantly became light and airy.
"Are you happy?" Dark asked.
Little Devimon nodded憨憨地 and said, "Happy."
"Just be happy."
Darke smiled and put the "Happy Card" into his card pack. He finally had his first magic card that he had made himself!
……
After instructing Impmon to guard the gate, Dark's expression turned serious.
The "Happy Card" was just a trial run; the real experiment is yet to come.
He ignored the "Voice of Joy" potion and went straight to the second step, boiling the ingredients into a paste and setting it aside beforehand.
This "paste" acts as a "sealing fluid," much like a gasket between a screw and its hole.
With this layer of "paste," the "emotions" sealed inside will not leak out, reducing conflicts between the transmutation circle, materials, and magic cards, and also making it less likely to damage the nature of the emotions infused within.
If successfully refined, it can also serve as a "protective membrane".
Dak sat down in the chair, took out the magic brain dropper, and heated it slightly with an alcohol lamp to activate it.
Then, using the "dragonfly skimming the water" method again, place the tip of the magic brain dropper against your temple, gently squeeze the "magic brain" and then release it, repeating this several times.
No subtle control is needed, because at this moment, only "arrogance" overflows from the mind.
As the finest black threads were absorbed into the demon's brain, "Pride" finally changed from 111 to 110!
"嘤——"
The magic dropper suddenly screamed!
Dak immediately stopped pressing and then immersed his nozzle in the water.
The magic dropper will naturally quiet down as soon as it touches water.
Dak then took it out, shook off the water, and the magic dropper stopped screaming.
After that, he pressed the tip of the magic brain dropper against a blank magic card and squeezed the magic brain hard!
The little bit of "arrogance" stored in the demon's brain was then completely expelled!
Soon, the blank magic card was also dyed a rich dark gold color.
等魔
When the dark gold color on the magic card became even and smooth, Dark spread the paste he had prepared beforehand onto the surface of the magic card.
……
The subsequent steps are the same as always.
After his first successful experience, Dak became much more skilled.
He quickly completed the production of "Pride 1"!
From the outside, this "Pride 1" is just different from the previous ones except for the addition of a protective film.
However, the actual effect remains to be seen.
Moreover, he does not intend to conduct experiments here.
……
"It's about time to return the key to Professor Cazell."
After removing the experimental traces, Dak left the laboratory.
……
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
He returned to his bedroom and summoned Impmon to prepare for the experiment.
We've done everything we can; this is almost a do-or-die experiment!
Little Impmon, being the clever child it was, immediately knew the suffering that awaited it. It instantly folded its wings, covering its head: "Protest! Protest! A familiar's life matters too!"
Dak smiled kindly: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt."
Little Devimon: "No, no, o(>﹏<)o No way!"
"Magic Summoning!"
Dark held the "Pride" magic card between his index and middle fingers and activated the "Summoning Spell"!
In an instant.
