The villain only wants to live a Buddhist life
Chapter 469 Dak Dimon Surrenders Without a Fight (82233)
The sixth floor of the Stars Building is a place similar to a private club.
There are no goods for sale, and even food, drink and entertainment are free.
But those who are eligible to enter are the children of the more powerful aristocrats in the capital.
The most powerful among them was naturally the eldest prince Charles with the statue on the stone pillar.
It is precisely because of the background of the eldest prince that Qunxinglou can be safe and sound under the prying eyes of so many nobles.
Otherwise, such a large piece of fat would have been eaten and wiped away long ago.
In addition to the six statues, Qunxinglou often publishes comparative rankings among young people.
Some are grandstanding, while others are of great reference value.
Dak used to be considered a man of the hour in the capital, although he was young, but because of his status, he was often on the list.
Of course he didn't have much interest in these things.
In the past, he has always been popular for 3 minutes, doing whatever he thinks of, and he has a heart for comparison, but it is not high.
The sun is shining brightly today.
The noble children huddled on the sixth floor are in an emergency meeting.
From the moment the carriage appeared outside the noble trading area, this group of people learned of Dak Dimon's return, and each of them had a stressful reaction.
Among them, Joshua, the youngest son of the Marquis of Middleton, was the one who reacted the most!
Joshua is 16 years old this year, not too old, but he already belongs to "adult" in this world.
Originally, during the war, only 14 years old was considered "adulthood", but it was the relative peace of the past ten years that made the boundary of "adulthood" dragged back by two years.
Moreover, the development of the times has led to a slowdown in the improvement of children's minds, and the boundary of "adulthood" is likely to be delayed for another two years.
But at least for now, Joshua is already an adult.
His father, the Marquis Middleton, was an upstart during the war. Although he was slightly inferior to Alvette in terms of reputation, he was already an extremely powerful fighter, not to mention he was also a senior strategist.
Before the development of magic technology, the power system of this world was mainly based on magic and Qi.
Magic is profound and difficult to master, and human beings generally lack enough magic power to support it, so they are far inferior to the demons.
In order to compete with the demons, they developed the "Qi" that only humans can master.
The so-called "Qi" is a mysterious power inspired from the chakras of the human body.
Magicians believe that "qi" is actually a kind of magic.
The holy religion believes that "qi" is a kind of innate ability of "sage", which is hidden in the chakras of the human body through generations.
There is basis for both claims.
Because apart from humans, demons have no chakras.
The effect of "Qi" is essentially the same as the effect of some buff magic.
In other words, it can only be used to strengthen the body.
There are seven chakras in the human body, and these seven chakras are seven energy gathering points, which dominate different tissue systems of the human body.
They are crown chakra, brow chakra, throat chakra, heart chakra, navel chakra, root chakra and Brahma chakra.
Every time a chakra is opened, human beings can improve their control over the physical body by a level.
The quality and quantity of "qi" will also increase accordingly.
Of these seven chakras, only the "Vatican chakra" is located outside the human body, that is, above the head.
If you can open the "Vatican chakra", you will be able to release the "qi" and form a very oppressive "momentum"!
A sufficiently strong "potential" can even form a dragon-like effect, and collectively suppress those with weaker mental power!
But even so.
The popularity of "qi" can only barely support human beings under the strong attack of the demons.
Its limitations are very large, and it is still far inferior to magic.
What's more, the demons are born with a strong physique, and the physique of any strong demon will not be weaker than a human warrior with seven rounds fully opened.
In order to increase the upper limit, human beings usually practice both "qi" and "magic".
Before the development of magic technology, the most powerful profession for purebred humans was the magic warrior who also practiced "qi" and "magic"!
The Marquis of Middleton is a powerful magic warrior.
And as his son, Joshua is also a magic warrior.
Moreover, when he was only 14 years old, he had followed his father to wipe out a lot of extremists, and he was a rare powerful faction among the children of nobles.
His statue can be erected on the stone pillar, it is indeed in exchange for meritorious deeds.
On the contrary, Dak Dimon in the first half of last year was useless except being the son of the duke, but he was also arrogant and domineering, and he could only say he deserved it if he was ridiculed.
However, after that day, Joshua was called to the study by the Marquess of Middleton and had a long talk all night.
The next day, Joshua came out of the study with a touch of auspiciousness.
He has not forced Qunxinglou to repair the statue so far, which is a kind of performance.
That's waiting for Dak Dimon's return.
He wants to defeat it from the front with fair means, and then erect his own statue on the stone pillar again to wash away his stigma!
……
Joshua, who was sitting on the sofa, looked serious.
Although he has been studying in the Royal Academy during this period, he is still paying attention to the news of Dak Dimon.
I heard that Dak Dimon was very successful in St. Marian College, but it is no longer what it used to be.
In today's battle, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
"But that's just right. If I fight a duel with someone who has no strength to restrain a chicken, it will appear that I am invincible. My Middleton family rose by relying on military exploits, and controls the Knights of the Devil Sword. During the war, I can act cunningly, but Daily actions must be open and aboveboard. With my ability, I will practice the family rules."
Joshua spoke slowly, his thin face shining brightly.
The noble children sitting around him, although they did not flatter him, they all applauded and admired him.
In fact, the duke's son was too arrogant, never established diplomatic relations with other people, and even drove them away.
In this building of stars, even those who thought about getting close to him were turned away, and it became like this that they didn't have a single fan.
However, there are only one-third of the nobles centered on Joshua, and the other two-thirds are just joking and laughing.
……
Not long after, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"coming!"
Joshua's eyes were fixed, and he looked towards the stairs.
Almost everyone also stopped discussing, and their eyes instantly focused on that place.
Then Dak Dimon, as expected, appeared in the focus of sight.
The son of the duchess, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year, was dressed rigorously, his blond hair was combed meticulously, and his skin was as smooth as jade, which was actually better than those girls on the list.
And its gentle expression, mellow and elegant temperament, at first glance, like a spring breeze blowing, people mistakenly think that some sage's descendants are making a cameo appearance.
However, the noble boy who ascended the sixth floor was indeed the son of the duchess they were familiar with!
At this time, not only Joshua, but almost everyone's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
In terms of changes, everyone will change in nearly a year.
Like Joshua, he has matured a lot, and his personality has also been corrected.
But compared with Dak Dimon's immediately recognizable change, it was far worse.
This makes people can't help but wonder, is Dak Dimon really reborn, or has he learned to pretend?
pick one of two.
Undoubtedly the latter is more acceptable.
After all, the bad boy gets worse and worse, which is in line with most people's psychological expectations.
But if that's the case, Dak Dimon's difficulty level may rise in a straight line!
Those who had little contact with Dak paid more attention to making themselves transparent.
But Joshua, after the initial astonishment, did the opposite and stood up on his own initiative.
The fans around him also habitually stood by his side and behind him.
Joshua strode towards the stairs, and stretched out his hand to Duck at this moment.
Dak stared at Joshua's face carefully for a while, and after a long while confirmed that this should be the son of the Marquis who was frightened by Trina's "power".
So he reached out to shake it back and said, "Joshua Middleton?"
As the saying goes, shake hands and make peace.
Dak Dimon is not an unreasonable person, everyone shook hands and complimented each other a few times, and what happened last year was revealed.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to sit comfortably on the sixth floor for a while without any enmity or resentment, and then eat and leave?
For this frequent social place, Dak Dimon did not go around, it is already a kind of confidence in his own strength.
But Joshua's complexion was gloomy, and he said, "Long time no see, Duck."
"It's been almost a year." Dak withdrew his hand and walked straight past him.
Immediately afterwards, Aurora and Trina came in parallel, and the strong waitress had been left behind.
Aurora hung her hands in front of her belly, although she was a little timid, she still looked around curiously.
Trina ignored the people around her the whole time, and didn't even look at Joshua coldly.
Joshua suddenly felt like a street lamp on the side of the road, illuminating the way for the three of them to move forward.
Of course he couldn't just stand still like this.
After all, before Dark came up, he had already stated his intentions.
"Wait, Duck!"
So he spoke up immediately.
Only then did Dake stop, and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Joshua couldn't help hesitating when he saw his big pure eyes, and even changed the tone of the lines he had prepared: "It's like this, I heard that you learned a lot at St. Marian College, Do you want to discuss it? Just click on it."
It can be said to be very friendly.
Dak didn't feel any malice, so he asked doubtfully, "But aren't you a magic warrior?"
Joshua didn't understand for a moment, so he said, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Dak raised his hand, and the little evil beast immediately flew to the back of his hand like a bird, but it didn't step on it.
Then Darke said, "But I'm a magister."
Joshua glanced at the familiar that was obviously a demon, thinking that Dak Dimon was indeed a demon.
However, he didn't care about Dak's words, and immediately said: "The magister is indeed the highest rank among the warriors, but our magic war is not vegetarian."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and the qi in his body instantly condensed, and the six chakras in his body simultaneously bred surging qi, and then rushed straight to the top of his head, forming a panicked animal shadow on the "Vatican acupoint chakra" above his head !
That is an extremely special "potential".
The "power of ten thousand beasts" unfolded slowly, like ten thousand beasts galloping, and tigers roaring for thousands of miles, the momentum is astonishing!
……
"This is?"
Darke has only a half-knowledge of "qi" and "momentum", but it can be clearly seen that this Joshua has reached a very high level.
Some of the noble children in the surrounding area were shocked by the ferocious "power of ten thousand beasts". They all turned pale and backed away again and again, and some even trembled.
But this "power", compared to the divine power of the goddess of the moon, is undoubtedly like a child's play.
Dak only frowned slightly, as if it was the breeze blowing by, and he didn't feel the slightest.
Trina, who was already by her side, had a momentary stress reaction, but perhaps seeing that the young master was not as frightened as she feared, the "sword gesture" she just revealed also instantly retracted. .
On the contrary, the two sun and moon elves in Aurora's hair were startled, they got out of their hair, and flew above her head.
Some people who know the goods couldn't help but show surprise the moment they saw the two sun and moon elves, and couldn't help thinking about who is this girl who came with Dak?
Under the protection of the Sun Elf and the Ice Moon Elf, Aurora didn't feel anything either.
Seeing this, the "power of all beasts" released by Joshua couldn't help but stagnate, and suddenly lost the sense of indomitable progress.
Dak asked curiously: "This aura is amazing. But if it's just like this..."
"I'm a double cultivator of magic and martial arts, so I haven't tried my best." Joshua subconsciously explained.
But in this way, it seemed that he was begging the other party for advice, which immediately shocked his fans.
However, Joshua has also experienced life and death fights, and he has a natural perception when facing opponents stronger than himself.
He realized almost instinctively that Dak Dimon, who was powerless a year ago, might already be above him now.
But the man said one thing, since he initiated the engagement, there is no reason to go back on his word.
Fortunately, he didn't mention "duel" at all, but changed it to "discussion" in a timely and wise manner. That was really the wisest choice he made today...
While thinking like this, Joshua suddenly realized that he was cowardly before fighting, and his face turned ashen.
The "momentum of ten thousand beasts" plummeted even more, and it was completely gone from the initial surge.
……
This obvious change surprised the onlookers.
This was just a face-to-face meeting. Dak Dimon obviously didn't do anything, but Joshua was like a deflated ball. How could it have turned into a shriveled skin?
Those noble children who wanted to see how these two people would end up at first couldn't help being disappointed.
Dak even saw that Joshua had lost his will to fight, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "Forget it. It's rare that we have time, why don't we use a different way of sparring?"
"In what way?"
How could Joshua fail to recognize that this was a step down for himself.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised at Dak Dimon's sudden soaring EQ, as well as a little fear hidden in his heart.
How does a person grow up to complete such a terrifying change within a year?
Dak Dimon gave him the feeling that the carp king had suddenly turned into a tyrannosaurus—of course he didn't know what the carp king and tyrannosaurus were, but it didn't prevent him from describing it like this.
"Go for a round?" Dak's expression moved slightly.
When he was in the academy, he needed to restrain himself and return to the rituals, and he couldn't lose his mind by playing with things.
But since it's a holiday and leisure time, why not come to the game?
……
So the atmosphere on the scene changed drastically.
Darke ordered the female waitress to fetch a pair of Magic Chess with fixed pieces, and spread it out in the lobby on the sixth floor.
The magic chess board is placed on a jade table, and there are sofas on each side, which can seat three people.
The rest of the people who wanted to watch chess also brought chairs and stools and sat down beside them.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a daze hidden in the expressions of these people.
I don't understand how a good duel scene turned into a magic chess match?
The class gap between the nobles is vividly displayed in this area, and those who are qualified to sit around the table are the children of the powerful and powerful.
Those with lower rankings consciously stood and watched.
Dak asked Trina to relax, and sat on the left and right sides of him with Aurora, then straightened the chessboard, and said to Joshua, "Have you ever played?"
"Three years of playing chess." Joshua nodded cautiously.
Oh hey, are you still an old chess player?
Duck became interested.
Although Magic Chess is called "magic guide", it does not need to be powered by magic in essence, and it has the possibility of popularization.
It's just that if there is no magic power, the viewing effect of Magic Chess will be much worse.
After all, if the chess pieces can't move, they can't reflect that feeling.
Therefore, it is still prevalent in a small area.
Joshua is a man of both magic and martial arts. Although the magic talent is not enough to become a magister, it is more than enough to play Magic Chess.
The two soon began to compete.
……
The tactical thinking of Magic Chess is actually not much different from that of chess in essence, which is why Dak can get started so quickly.
As soon as the game started, the strengths of both sides were quickly revealed, and there was a feeling of being evenly matched!
In other words, at least it is more evenly matched than the combat power of the two sides.
After a cup of tea, the game is over.
Duck narrowly won by one.
Xu Shi saw the hope of victory, but Joshua was not reconciled, and blurted out that the second round was coming.
Dake said: "Then win two out of three games, I'll take one game first."
In the second round, Joshua pursued strongly, and Dak responded calmly. Although he tried his best, he was also defeated.
So the game came to 1:1.
Immediately afterwards, the third game was opened directly.
Dak changed his position this time, using offense to lead defense, and the chess game suddenly changed, like a thousand troops attacking the city, dismantling Joshua's defense layer by layer, and finally occupied the castle in one go!
The moment the castle was breached, Joshua suddenly jumped up.
But he stood there alone for a long while, then sat down discouraged, and said, "Three wins out of five!"
"eat first."
Duck laughed.
Win without pride and lose without discouragement.
……
The staff of Qunxing Building who had been waiting for the opportunity immediately served the food, and the supervisor hiding behind was even more relieved.
It was a blessing among misfortunes that Dak did not fight Joshua on the spot.
He didn't dare to neglect at all, and ordered the back kitchen to continue adding dishes.
And he himself... naturally continued to hide!
After all, a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a villain?
Who knows if the young master of the duke's family will suddenly get violent while playing chess, and will the son of the marquis go mad with anger?
These teenagers have the most changeable temperaments, and a powerless person like him, who only managed to protect himself by the eldest prince, had better avoid them.
……
Of course, neither the waitress nor the supervisor, what they imagined did not happen.
After Dak had lunch with Aurora and Trina, he continued playing chess.
Dak was worried that Aurora would feel bored at first, but when she watched her chess, she was also very interested, so he just kept playing.
So this game went from one game to two wins, then to five games to three wins, and then jumped to six out of ten games!
In the end, when Joshua was defeated by a score of 2:6, he finally had no face to continue the game...
And it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Dak got up and waved goodbye to him, then took Aurora down to the fifth floor calmly.
From the fifth floor to the second floor, all kinds of luxury products suitable for youth trends are available.
But Aurora obviously had no interest in wandering here, so the three of them went downstairs and turned to the next destination.
……
It wasn't until they actually left the Qunxing Building that the noble children on the sixth floor came back to their senses.
Someone finally couldn't help asking, "So what exactly is Dimon here for?"
The rest were also silent.
Only Joshua, who suffered a disastrous defeat in Magic Chess, said silently, "Is he just here to go shopping?"
Although this is the truth, no one really believes it.
……
Chengdong Pet Street.
As the peace grows longer, the residents of the royal capital whose lives have become prosperous also have spiritual needs.
If you are alone, having a cute couple or two can also add fun to your life.
When Dake passed by, he often wandered around this pet street.
However, he only touches but does not buy, so he is quite hated by some merchants.
Of course, because he was always accompanied by a maid with excellent appearance and temperament, the merchants dared not speak out.
This time, Dak parked the carriage outside the block as usual, and then walked into the street.
He is notorious in this street, but at least he doesn't do worse things like some other noble children.
Therefore, merchants also turn a blind eye.
Of course, Dak usually doesn't show off when he goes out, and he rarely goes to those noble gatherings, so not to mention the general public, even a large number of noble young people only know their names and don't know who they are.
Otherwise, if the merchants know that this is the son of the Valkyrie, they must rush to send the cuties to him.
After all, the Valkyrie's prestige in the kingdom is so resounding, especially in the capital, everyone admires her.
Otherwise, it would not be able to compete with the holy religion that has been rooted in the kingdom for so long.
After Dake stepped into the pet street, he came to his favorite cat and pet store in a familiar way.
Naturally, it is impossible for pet shops in the city to sell exotic pets like Maomaocao, but not all of them are ordinary pets, and some have some monster blood, or are related to magical animals.
"Is this the place you want to come to?"
Duck asked.
Aurora nodded.
The name of this cat and cat pet shop in front of me is "I Love You Forever", and there are several very old cats in it that have been unable to be sold. Every time Dake comes here, he will stroke them a few times.
The owner of "Love You Forever" is a fat aunt, and it can be said that she is the only one in the whole street who is particularly welcoming to him.
In the beginning, I'm afraid it was because few people were willing to play with those old cats.
Later, it was because there was a conflict in the store, and Dak happened to be there, so the accompanying maid was asked to intervene.
Of course he is not the kind of good boy who is willing to help others.
It was just because the little nobleman's voice was too loud at that time, which affected him to pet the cat.
But anyway, he did help the pet store solve a crisis, so he is appreciated.
This is one of the few "good things" Dak has done.
As soon as the fat aunt saw him enter the store, she immediately brought out a plate of cookies from the room as a treat.
Dak picked up a cookie and ate it, then said, "Where's Fatty?"
There is an orange cat named Fatty in the store, who has been there since Dake first came to hang out in the store, and it has been several years.
Because of his old age, Feifei would always lie still on his stomach after picking a sunny spot, which made Duck, who was suffering from not being able to catch "Galileo", feel refreshed.
Little kids always have a soft spot for the first thing they get.
Every time Dake came, he would habitually look for Feipang.
But this time, the fat aunt's expression seemed a little wrong.
Dak gradually became mentally prepared.
And sure enough, the fat aunt sighed and said, "Christmas is gone."
After all, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.
The old orange cat didn't make it through Christmas.
Dak couldn't help but fell silent.
Aurora, who was looking at the kittens excitedly, subconsciously restrained her expression.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are always like this." The fat aunt comforted, "Don't worry, Fatty fell asleep."
Dak nodded: "It's okay, let me sit down."
As he spoke, he casually picked up a chair and moved it under the beam of sunlight coming in from the window.
Every summer, Fatty would lie in this position, never changing.
Dak stared blankly at the circle illuminated by the sun.
In a trance, it seemed to hear a long-lost snore.
There is dust flying in the sun.
……
After watching it without moving for half an hour.
Dak finally restrained his expression.
When he stood up again, he had returned to normal.
"How about it, do you have a cat you like?"
"I like them all."
Aurora raised her head while hugging a kitten.
Darke asked, "Choose one to go back? It can also be a companion for Galileo."
Aurora shook her head: "No, I have to go to school. Isn't it forbidden to bring cats in the academy?"
"But you can bring cat grass." Duck blinked.
Aurora has never entered his bedroom, so how could she know the specialty of St. Marian Traveler's Street.
She suddenly asked curiously: "What is cat cat grass?"
Dark said: "A kind of grass that has basically the same traits as a cat."
"There's that kind of thing?" Aurora half-opened her mouth and imagined the appearance of the cat's grass, wondering which part of the body would the rhizome of the cat's grass be connected to?
Duck said: "It's time to go back, I'll take you to see it after I get back to the mansion."
Aurora responded: "Yes!"
……
After that, Dak and Aurora left the pet street directly.
Although he seemed to have returned to normal, Aurora could clearly feel that his mood was still depressed, so she didn't talk too much, and accompanied him into the carriage, and then returned to the Duke's mansion all the way.
……
When the Duke's Mansion came into view, the bright sun above the head was no longer dazzling.
Duck stepped down from the carriage first, then held Aurora's hand and helped her get off the carriage.
In fact, Aurora was born with the same divine power as Diana, and she also whispered on the way that she didn't need help, but Duck seemed to have forgotten.
After getting off the car, she quietly walked beside Dak, and entered the Duke's mansion together with him.
And Trina parted ways shortly after entering the door.
She still has a lot to deal with.
……
Duck climbed up to the second floor, walked through the playground-style corridor, and came to the door of the bedroom.
Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
But before the hand dropped, the door opened from the inside.
But the magic elves had already sensed his approach, and immediately opened the door.
Fairy Eevee's ribbon was wrapped around his wrist as if it had been programmed, and thoughts and worries were conveyed from the ribbon.
Dak squatted down, hugged the fairy Eevee into his arms, and then called Aurora to enter the door.
The first time Aurora entered the boy's bedroom, her cheeks were already flushed.
She looked curiously at the magic elves in the room, and was surprised to find that almost all the magic elves were reading books.
Although those books are all early education books in phonetic notation, they are still enough to shock the dead.
Dak didn't shy away too much.
He clapped his hands in the direction of Mao Maocao.
Immediately, the five cats and grasses—except for the timid and dark Dragon Dragon Grass—all ran over cheerfully.
The figures of the cuties running towards each other with their short legs make people unable to help showing melting expressions.
Dake's depressed mood eased, and he said to Aurora: "These are cats and cats. They are of various types and can be cultivated in the college dormitory."
Aurora looked at the cat grass that was both an animal and a plant, and couldn't help squatting down to catch the short-haired cat cat grass's sprint.
She seems to have a natural affinity for plants, Mao Maocao is very obedient to let her hug her, without struggling at all.
Not long after, she was surrounded by cats and cats.
Dak let her play with the cats and cats, and then rested on the sofa for a while.
Not long after that, Ollie, the head maid of the [Aries Palace Maid Group], knocked on the door and entered.
There was a thick stack of resumes in her arms, and she said after entering the door: "This is a brief introduction about tutor applicants. It has been screened in advance, at least there is no doubt about its credibility."
Duck pointed to the table: "Let's put it there first. Have you planted the Diesel plant yet?"
Oli smiled and said, "It has already been planted."
"Then go and have a look first!" Duck stood up.
Aurora reluctantly put down the cat grass, and followed her out the door.
The three went downstairs, walked through the long corridor, and soon came to the backyard.
The first thing that catches the eye is the stretches of flowers and lawns, which cover the entire courtyard evenly.
Penetrating from the path in the flower garden, the breeze engulfs the fragrance of flowers and comes oncoming.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly falls.
The skin is golden.
A blond-haired boy and a silver-haired girl walked among them.
The beautiful maid is gentle and gentle.
In the slowly unfolding scenery, a specially trimmed circular land appeared in the eyes, steaming.
Diesel's seed has actually sprouted a small sprout.
……
……
[Four in one 8000+]
[82/233]
[It's been a long road, three points have been walked, tickets are here! 】
There are no goods for sale, and even food, drink and entertainment are free.
But those who are eligible to enter are the children of the more powerful aristocrats in the capital.
The most powerful among them was naturally the eldest prince Charles with the statue on the stone pillar.
It is precisely because of the background of the eldest prince that Qunxinglou can be safe and sound under the prying eyes of so many nobles.
Otherwise, such a large piece of fat would have been eaten and wiped away long ago.
In addition to the six statues, Qunxinglou often publishes comparative rankings among young people.
Some are grandstanding, while others are of great reference value.
Dak used to be considered a man of the hour in the capital, although he was young, but because of his status, he was often on the list.
Of course he didn't have much interest in these things.
In the past, he has always been popular for 3 minutes, doing whatever he thinks of, and he has a heart for comparison, but it is not high.
The sun is shining brightly today.
The noble children huddled on the sixth floor are in an emergency meeting.
From the moment the carriage appeared outside the noble trading area, this group of people learned of Dak Dimon's return, and each of them had a stressful reaction.
Among them, Joshua, the youngest son of the Marquis of Middleton, was the one who reacted the most!
Joshua is 16 years old this year, not too old, but he already belongs to "adult" in this world.
Originally, during the war, only 14 years old was considered "adulthood", but it was the relative peace of the past ten years that made the boundary of "adulthood" dragged back by two years.
Moreover, the development of the times has led to a slowdown in the improvement of children's minds, and the boundary of "adulthood" is likely to be delayed for another two years.
But at least for now, Joshua is already an adult.
His father, the Marquis Middleton, was an upstart during the war. Although he was slightly inferior to Alvette in terms of reputation, he was already an extremely powerful fighter, not to mention he was also a senior strategist.
Before the development of magic technology, the power system of this world was mainly based on magic and Qi.
Magic is profound and difficult to master, and human beings generally lack enough magic power to support it, so they are far inferior to the demons.
In order to compete with the demons, they developed the "Qi" that only humans can master.
The so-called "Qi" is a mysterious power inspired from the chakras of the human body.
Magicians believe that "qi" is actually a kind of magic.
The holy religion believes that "qi" is a kind of innate ability of "sage", which is hidden in the chakras of the human body through generations.
There is basis for both claims.
Because apart from humans, demons have no chakras.
The effect of "Qi" is essentially the same as the effect of some buff magic.
In other words, it can only be used to strengthen the body.
There are seven chakras in the human body, and these seven chakras are seven energy gathering points, which dominate different tissue systems of the human body.
They are crown chakra, brow chakra, throat chakra, heart chakra, navel chakra, root chakra and Brahma chakra.
Every time a chakra is opened, human beings can improve their control over the physical body by a level.
The quality and quantity of "qi" will also increase accordingly.
Of these seven chakras, only the "Vatican chakra" is located outside the human body, that is, above the head.
If you can open the "Vatican chakra", you will be able to release the "qi" and form a very oppressive "momentum"!
A sufficiently strong "potential" can even form a dragon-like effect, and collectively suppress those with weaker mental power!
But even so.
The popularity of "qi" can only barely support human beings under the strong attack of the demons.
Its limitations are very large, and it is still far inferior to magic.
What's more, the demons are born with a strong physique, and the physique of any strong demon will not be weaker than a human warrior with seven rounds fully opened.
In order to increase the upper limit, human beings usually practice both "qi" and "magic".
Before the development of magic technology, the most powerful profession for purebred humans was the magic warrior who also practiced "qi" and "magic"!
The Marquis of Middleton is a powerful magic warrior.
And as his son, Joshua is also a magic warrior.
Moreover, when he was only 14 years old, he had followed his father to wipe out a lot of extremists, and he was a rare powerful faction among the children of nobles.
His statue can be erected on the stone pillar, it is indeed in exchange for meritorious deeds.
On the contrary, Dak Dimon in the first half of last year was useless except being the son of the duke, but he was also arrogant and domineering, and he could only say he deserved it if he was ridiculed.
However, after that day, Joshua was called to the study by the Marquess of Middleton and had a long talk all night.
The next day, Joshua came out of the study with a touch of auspiciousness.
He has not forced Qunxinglou to repair the statue so far, which is a kind of performance.
That's waiting for Dak Dimon's return.
He wants to defeat it from the front with fair means, and then erect his own statue on the stone pillar again to wash away his stigma!
……
Joshua, who was sitting on the sofa, looked serious.
Although he has been studying in the Royal Academy during this period, he is still paying attention to the news of Dak Dimon.
I heard that Dak Dimon was very successful in St. Marian College, but it is no longer what it used to be.
In today's battle, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
"But that's just right. If I fight a duel with someone who has no strength to restrain a chicken, it will appear that I am invincible. My Middleton family rose by relying on military exploits, and controls the Knights of the Devil Sword. During the war, I can act cunningly, but Daily actions must be open and aboveboard. With my ability, I will practice the family rules."
Joshua spoke slowly, his thin face shining brightly.
The noble children sitting around him, although they did not flatter him, they all applauded and admired him.
In fact, the duke's son was too arrogant, never established diplomatic relations with other people, and even drove them away.
In this building of stars, even those who thought about getting close to him were turned away, and it became like this that they didn't have a single fan.
However, there are only one-third of the nobles centered on Joshua, and the other two-thirds are just joking and laughing.
……
Not long after, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"coming!"
Joshua's eyes were fixed, and he looked towards the stairs.
Almost everyone also stopped discussing, and their eyes instantly focused on that place.
Then Dak Dimon, as expected, appeared in the focus of sight.
The son of the duchess, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year, was dressed rigorously, his blond hair was combed meticulously, and his skin was as smooth as jade, which was actually better than those girls on the list.
And its gentle expression, mellow and elegant temperament, at first glance, like a spring breeze blowing, people mistakenly think that some sage's descendants are making a cameo appearance.
However, the noble boy who ascended the sixth floor was indeed the son of the duchess they were familiar with!
At this time, not only Joshua, but almost everyone's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.
In terms of changes, everyone will change in nearly a year.
Like Joshua, he has matured a lot, and his personality has also been corrected.
But compared with Dak Dimon's immediately recognizable change, it was far worse.
This makes people can't help but wonder, is Dak Dimon really reborn, or has he learned to pretend?
pick one of two.
Undoubtedly the latter is more acceptable.
After all, the bad boy gets worse and worse, which is in line with most people's psychological expectations.
But if that's the case, Dak Dimon's difficulty level may rise in a straight line!
Those who had little contact with Dak paid more attention to making themselves transparent.
But Joshua, after the initial astonishment, did the opposite and stood up on his own initiative.
The fans around him also habitually stood by his side and behind him.
Joshua strode towards the stairs, and stretched out his hand to Duck at this moment.
Dak stared at Joshua's face carefully for a while, and after a long while confirmed that this should be the son of the Marquis who was frightened by Trina's "power".
So he reached out to shake it back and said, "Joshua Middleton?"
As the saying goes, shake hands and make peace.
Dak Dimon is not an unreasonable person, everyone shook hands and complimented each other a few times, and what happened last year was revealed.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to sit comfortably on the sixth floor for a while without any enmity or resentment, and then eat and leave?
For this frequent social place, Dak Dimon did not go around, it is already a kind of confidence in his own strength.
But Joshua's complexion was gloomy, and he said, "Long time no see, Duck."
"It's been almost a year." Dak withdrew his hand and walked straight past him.
Immediately afterwards, Aurora and Trina came in parallel, and the strong waitress had been left behind.
Aurora hung her hands in front of her belly, although she was a little timid, she still looked around curiously.
Trina ignored the people around her the whole time, and didn't even look at Joshua coldly.
Joshua suddenly felt like a street lamp on the side of the road, illuminating the way for the three of them to move forward.
Of course he couldn't just stand still like this.
After all, before Dark came up, he had already stated his intentions.
"Wait, Duck!"
So he spoke up immediately.
Only then did Dake stop, and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Joshua couldn't help hesitating when he saw his big pure eyes, and even changed the tone of the lines he had prepared: "It's like this, I heard that you learned a lot at St. Marian College, Do you want to discuss it? Just click on it."
It can be said to be very friendly.
Dak didn't feel any malice, so he asked doubtfully, "But aren't you a magic warrior?"
Joshua didn't understand for a moment, so he said, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Dak raised his hand, and the little evil beast immediately flew to the back of his hand like a bird, but it didn't step on it.
Then Darke said, "But I'm a magister."
Joshua glanced at the familiar that was obviously a demon, thinking that Dak Dimon was indeed a demon.
However, he didn't care about Dak's words, and immediately said: "The magister is indeed the highest rank among the warriors, but our magic war is not vegetarian."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, and the qi in his body instantly condensed, and the six chakras in his body simultaneously bred surging qi, and then rushed straight to the top of his head, forming a panicked animal shadow on the "Vatican acupoint chakra" above his head !
That is an extremely special "potential".
The "power of ten thousand beasts" unfolded slowly, like ten thousand beasts galloping, and tigers roaring for thousands of miles, the momentum is astonishing!
……
"This is?"
Darke has only a half-knowledge of "qi" and "momentum", but it can be clearly seen that this Joshua has reached a very high level.
Some of the noble children in the surrounding area were shocked by the ferocious "power of ten thousand beasts". They all turned pale and backed away again and again, and some even trembled.
But this "power", compared to the divine power of the goddess of the moon, is undoubtedly like a child's play.
Dak only frowned slightly, as if it was the breeze blowing by, and he didn't feel the slightest.
Trina, who was already by her side, had a momentary stress reaction, but perhaps seeing that the young master was not as frightened as she feared, the "sword gesture" she just revealed also instantly retracted. .
On the contrary, the two sun and moon elves in Aurora's hair were startled, they got out of their hair, and flew above her head.
Some people who know the goods couldn't help but show surprise the moment they saw the two sun and moon elves, and couldn't help thinking about who is this girl who came with Dak?
Under the protection of the Sun Elf and the Ice Moon Elf, Aurora didn't feel anything either.
Seeing this, the "power of all beasts" released by Joshua couldn't help but stagnate, and suddenly lost the sense of indomitable progress.
Dak asked curiously: "This aura is amazing. But if it's just like this..."
"I'm a double cultivator of magic and martial arts, so I haven't tried my best." Joshua subconsciously explained.
But in this way, it seemed that he was begging the other party for advice, which immediately shocked his fans.
However, Joshua has also experienced life and death fights, and he has a natural perception when facing opponents stronger than himself.
He realized almost instinctively that Dak Dimon, who was powerless a year ago, might already be above him now.
But the man said one thing, since he initiated the engagement, there is no reason to go back on his word.
Fortunately, he didn't mention "duel" at all, but changed it to "discussion" in a timely and wise manner. That was really the wisest choice he made today...
While thinking like this, Joshua suddenly realized that he was cowardly before fighting, and his face turned ashen.
The "momentum of ten thousand beasts" plummeted even more, and it was completely gone from the initial surge.
……
This obvious change surprised the onlookers.
This was just a face-to-face meeting. Dak Dimon obviously didn't do anything, but Joshua was like a deflated ball. How could it have turned into a shriveled skin?
Those noble children who wanted to see how these two people would end up at first couldn't help being disappointed.
Dak even saw that Joshua had lost his will to fight, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "Forget it. It's rare that we have time, why don't we use a different way of sparring?"
"In what way?"
How could Joshua fail to recognize that this was a step down for himself.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised at Dak Dimon's sudden soaring EQ, as well as a little fear hidden in his heart.
How does a person grow up to complete such a terrifying change within a year?
Dak Dimon gave him the feeling that the carp king had suddenly turned into a tyrannosaurus—of course he didn't know what the carp king and tyrannosaurus were, but it didn't prevent him from describing it like this.
"Go for a round?" Dak's expression moved slightly.
When he was in the academy, he needed to restrain himself and return to the rituals, and he couldn't lose his mind by playing with things.
But since it's a holiday and leisure time, why not come to the game?
……
So the atmosphere on the scene changed drastically.
Darke ordered the female waitress to fetch a pair of Magic Chess with fixed pieces, and spread it out in the lobby on the sixth floor.
The magic chess board is placed on a jade table, and there are sofas on each side, which can seat three people.
The rest of the people who wanted to watch chess also brought chairs and stools and sat down beside them.
But if you look carefully, you will find that there is a daze hidden in the expressions of these people.
I don't understand how a good duel scene turned into a magic chess match?
The class gap between the nobles is vividly displayed in this area, and those who are qualified to sit around the table are the children of the powerful and powerful.
Those with lower rankings consciously stood and watched.
Dak asked Trina to relax, and sat on the left and right sides of him with Aurora, then straightened the chessboard, and said to Joshua, "Have you ever played?"
"Three years of playing chess." Joshua nodded cautiously.
Oh hey, are you still an old chess player?
Duck became interested.
Although Magic Chess is called "magic guide", it does not need to be powered by magic in essence, and it has the possibility of popularization.
It's just that if there is no magic power, the viewing effect of Magic Chess will be much worse.
After all, if the chess pieces can't move, they can't reflect that feeling.
Therefore, it is still prevalent in a small area.
Joshua is a man of both magic and martial arts. Although the magic talent is not enough to become a magister, it is more than enough to play Magic Chess.
The two soon began to compete.
……
The tactical thinking of Magic Chess is actually not much different from that of chess in essence, which is why Dak can get started so quickly.
As soon as the game started, the strengths of both sides were quickly revealed, and there was a feeling of being evenly matched!
In other words, at least it is more evenly matched than the combat power of the two sides.
After a cup of tea, the game is over.
Duck narrowly won by one.
Xu Shi saw the hope of victory, but Joshua was not reconciled, and blurted out that the second round was coming.
Dake said: "Then win two out of three games, I'll take one game first."
In the second round, Joshua pursued strongly, and Dak responded calmly. Although he tried his best, he was also defeated.
So the game came to 1:1.
Immediately afterwards, the third game was opened directly.
Dak changed his position this time, using offense to lead defense, and the chess game suddenly changed, like a thousand troops attacking the city, dismantling Joshua's defense layer by layer, and finally occupied the castle in one go!
The moment the castle was breached, Joshua suddenly jumped up.
But he stood there alone for a long while, then sat down discouraged, and said, "Three wins out of five!"
"eat first."
Duck laughed.
Win without pride and lose without discouragement.
……
The staff of Qunxing Building who had been waiting for the opportunity immediately served the food, and the supervisor hiding behind was even more relieved.
It was a blessing among misfortunes that Dak did not fight Joshua on the spot.
He didn't dare to neglect at all, and ordered the back kitchen to continue adding dishes.
And he himself... naturally continued to hide!
After all, a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a villain?
Who knows if the young master of the duke's family will suddenly get violent while playing chess, and will the son of the marquis go mad with anger?
These teenagers have the most changeable temperaments, and a powerless person like him, who only managed to protect himself by the eldest prince, had better avoid them.
……
Of course, neither the waitress nor the supervisor, what they imagined did not happen.
After Dak had lunch with Aurora and Trina, he continued playing chess.
Dak was worried that Aurora would feel bored at first, but when she watched her chess, she was also very interested, so he just kept playing.
So this game went from one game to two wins, then to five games to three wins, and then jumped to six out of ten games!
In the end, when Joshua was defeated by a score of 2:6, he finally had no face to continue the game...
And it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
Dak got up and waved goodbye to him, then took Aurora down to the fifth floor calmly.
From the fifth floor to the second floor, all kinds of luxury products suitable for youth trends are available.
But Aurora obviously had no interest in wandering here, so the three of them went downstairs and turned to the next destination.
……
It wasn't until they actually left the Qunxing Building that the noble children on the sixth floor came back to their senses.
Someone finally couldn't help asking, "So what exactly is Dimon here for?"
The rest were also silent.
Only Joshua, who suffered a disastrous defeat in Magic Chess, said silently, "Is he just here to go shopping?"
Although this is the truth, no one really believes it.
……
Chengdong Pet Street.
As the peace grows longer, the residents of the royal capital whose lives have become prosperous also have spiritual needs.
If you are alone, having a cute couple or two can also add fun to your life.
When Dake passed by, he often wandered around this pet street.
However, he only touches but does not buy, so he is quite hated by some merchants.
Of course, because he was always accompanied by a maid with excellent appearance and temperament, the merchants dared not speak out.
This time, Dak parked the carriage outside the block as usual, and then walked into the street.
He is notorious in this street, but at least he doesn't do worse things like some other noble children.
Therefore, merchants also turn a blind eye.
Of course, Dak usually doesn't show off when he goes out, and he rarely goes to those noble gatherings, so not to mention the general public, even a large number of noble young people only know their names and don't know who they are.
Otherwise, if the merchants know that this is the son of the Valkyrie, they must rush to send the cuties to him.
After all, the Valkyrie's prestige in the kingdom is so resounding, especially in the capital, everyone admires her.
Otherwise, it would not be able to compete with the holy religion that has been rooted in the kingdom for so long.
After Dake stepped into the pet street, he came to his favorite cat and pet store in a familiar way.
Naturally, it is impossible for pet shops in the city to sell exotic pets like Maomaocao, but not all of them are ordinary pets, and some have some monster blood, or are related to magical animals.
"Is this the place you want to come to?"
Duck asked.
Aurora nodded.
The name of this cat and cat pet shop in front of me is "I Love You Forever", and there are several very old cats in it that have been unable to be sold. Every time Dake comes here, he will stroke them a few times.
The owner of "Love You Forever" is a fat aunt, and it can be said that she is the only one in the whole street who is particularly welcoming to him.
In the beginning, I'm afraid it was because few people were willing to play with those old cats.
Later, it was because there was a conflict in the store, and Dak happened to be there, so the accompanying maid was asked to intervene.
Of course he is not the kind of good boy who is willing to help others.
It was just because the little nobleman's voice was too loud at that time, which affected him to pet the cat.
But anyway, he did help the pet store solve a crisis, so he is appreciated.
This is one of the few "good things" Dak has done.
As soon as the fat aunt saw him enter the store, she immediately brought out a plate of cookies from the room as a treat.
Dak picked up a cookie and ate it, then said, "Where's Fatty?"
There is an orange cat named Fatty in the store, who has been there since Dake first came to hang out in the store, and it has been several years.
Because of his old age, Feifei would always lie still on his stomach after picking a sunny spot, which made Duck, who was suffering from not being able to catch "Galileo", feel refreshed.
Little kids always have a soft spot for the first thing they get.
Every time Dake came, he would habitually look for Feipang.
But this time, the fat aunt's expression seemed a little wrong.
Dak gradually became mentally prepared.
And sure enough, the fat aunt sighed and said, "Christmas is gone."
After all, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.
The old orange cat didn't make it through Christmas.
Dak couldn't help but fell silent.
Aurora, who was looking at the kittens excitedly, subconsciously restrained her expression.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are always like this." The fat aunt comforted, "Don't worry, Fatty fell asleep."
Dak nodded: "It's okay, let me sit down."
As he spoke, he casually picked up a chair and moved it under the beam of sunlight coming in from the window.
Every summer, Fatty would lie in this position, never changing.
Dak stared blankly at the circle illuminated by the sun.
In a trance, it seemed to hear a long-lost snore.
There is dust flying in the sun.
……
After watching it without moving for half an hour.
Dak finally restrained his expression.
When he stood up again, he had returned to normal.
"How about it, do you have a cat you like?"
"I like them all."
Aurora raised her head while hugging a kitten.
Darke asked, "Choose one to go back? It can also be a companion for Galileo."
Aurora shook her head: "No, I have to go to school. Isn't it forbidden to bring cats in the academy?"
"But you can bring cat grass." Duck blinked.
Aurora has never entered his bedroom, so how could she know the specialty of St. Marian Traveler's Street.
She suddenly asked curiously: "What is cat cat grass?"
Dark said: "A kind of grass that has basically the same traits as a cat."
"There's that kind of thing?" Aurora half-opened her mouth and imagined the appearance of the cat's grass, wondering which part of the body would the rhizome of the cat's grass be connected to?
Duck said: "It's time to go back, I'll take you to see it after I get back to the mansion."
Aurora responded: "Yes!"
……
After that, Dak and Aurora left the pet street directly.
Although he seemed to have returned to normal, Aurora could clearly feel that his mood was still depressed, so she didn't talk too much, and accompanied him into the carriage, and then returned to the Duke's mansion all the way.
……
When the Duke's Mansion came into view, the bright sun above the head was no longer dazzling.
Duck stepped down from the carriage first, then held Aurora's hand and helped her get off the carriage.
In fact, Aurora was born with the same divine power as Diana, and she also whispered on the way that she didn't need help, but Duck seemed to have forgotten.
After getting off the car, she quietly walked beside Dak, and entered the Duke's mansion together with him.
And Trina parted ways shortly after entering the door.
She still has a lot to deal with.
……
Duck climbed up to the second floor, walked through the playground-style corridor, and came to the door of the bedroom.
Then he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
But before the hand dropped, the door opened from the inside.
But the magic elves had already sensed his approach, and immediately opened the door.
Fairy Eevee's ribbon was wrapped around his wrist as if it had been programmed, and thoughts and worries were conveyed from the ribbon.
Dak squatted down, hugged the fairy Eevee into his arms, and then called Aurora to enter the door.
The first time Aurora entered the boy's bedroom, her cheeks were already flushed.
She looked curiously at the magic elves in the room, and was surprised to find that almost all the magic elves were reading books.
Although those books are all early education books in phonetic notation, they are still enough to shock the dead.
Dak didn't shy away too much.
He clapped his hands in the direction of Mao Maocao.
Immediately, the five cats and grasses—except for the timid and dark Dragon Dragon Grass—all ran over cheerfully.
The figures of the cuties running towards each other with their short legs make people unable to help showing melting expressions.
Dake's depressed mood eased, and he said to Aurora: "These are cats and cats. They are of various types and can be cultivated in the college dormitory."
Aurora looked at the cat grass that was both an animal and a plant, and couldn't help squatting down to catch the short-haired cat cat grass's sprint.
She seems to have a natural affinity for plants, Mao Maocao is very obedient to let her hug her, without struggling at all.
Not long after, she was surrounded by cats and cats.
Dak let her play with the cats and cats, and then rested on the sofa for a while.
Not long after that, Ollie, the head maid of the [Aries Palace Maid Group], knocked on the door and entered.
There was a thick stack of resumes in her arms, and she said after entering the door: "This is a brief introduction about tutor applicants. It has been screened in advance, at least there is no doubt about its credibility."
Duck pointed to the table: "Let's put it there first. Have you planted the Diesel plant yet?"
Oli smiled and said, "It has already been planted."
"Then go and have a look first!" Duck stood up.
Aurora reluctantly put down the cat grass, and followed her out the door.
The three went downstairs, walked through the long corridor, and soon came to the backyard.
The first thing that catches the eye is the stretches of flowers and lawns, which cover the entire courtyard evenly.
Penetrating from the path in the flower garden, the breeze engulfs the fragrance of flowers and comes oncoming.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun slowly falls.
The skin is golden.
A blond-haired boy and a silver-haired girl walked among them.
The beautiful maid is gentle and gentle.
In the slowly unfolding scenery, a specially trimmed circular land appeared in the eyes, steaming.
Diesel's seed has actually sprouted a small sprout.
……
