Dak smiled slightly, raised his glass, and drank it all.
The grape juice, flavored like red wine, flowed down his throat and transformed into grape-flavored red wine. He put down his glass, only slightly tipsy.
They solved one of the ten difficult problems, but Emma and the others still dared not stop for a moment.
The remaining nine difficult questions almost all vividly illustrate the meaning of "tricky" or "unnecessary".
But this is, after all, a test from the goddess of wisdom, so it's normal for it to be difficult. It's just unknown what kind of reward Athena will bestow after Emma and the others have answered all the questions.
"It should at least be of the [Moon God Stone] level," Dark put down his wine glass, silently compiling the existing information about this tea party in his mind.
From Zeus, the "King of the Gods," to Athena, the "Goddess of War and Wisdom," they are arranged according to the first category of "Chosen Ones," the second category of "Chosen Ones," and "Investment Targets," roughly as follows:
Zeus, the "King of the Gods": (Quintina Nos) "Empty" "Empty" Poseidon, the "God of the Sea": (Carola Marjorie) "Empty" "Empty" Hephaestus, the "God of Fire": "Empty" "Kazor"
Ares (God of War): [Jeanne d'Arc] "Ryan Hex" [Alvita Saint-Dimón]
Hermes, the "Messenger of the Gods": [Didi Maxwell] Cynthia Saint Artemis, the "Master Thief"
Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt: [Lucia Artemis] "Empty" [Empty]
Hestia, the "Goddess of the Hearth": [Capel] "Empty" "Empty" Aphrodite, the "Goddess of Love and Beauty": [Vigo] "Former Royal Designer": [Pandora Doragon]
Apollo, the "God of Light": [Alice (Nikolai)] [Alicia Silvers, West Wilder] [Dark Dimon]
Hera, the "Queen of the Gods": (empty) [empty] [empty]
Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture: (Empty) "Empty" [Empty] Athena, Goddess of War and Wisdom: [Empty] "Empty" [Empty]
The tea party is not over yet, and the above list is not completely finalized, but it is roughly correct.
Dark wasn't particularly interested in the second type of "chosen ones" whose primary mission was spreading the faith. But he needed to figure out the first type of "chosen ones" and "investment targets" selected by the twelve gods.
The former is a hurdle that must be overcome, while the latter is a competitor for the "God's Cup".
However, as of now, there are three gods who have not yet been identified as the first type of "chosen ones," and a total of seven gods who have not yet identified their "investment targets."
It seems that even the twelve gods had their doubts.
Moreover, even the first type of "chosen ones" that have already been identified are still subject to change.
It is also possible that the twelve gods will select more "chosen ones" to guard the temple after this.
However, to qualify for the main tournament of the "God's Cup", you only need to defeat six of the "Chosen Ones", so you don't need to know about all the "Chosen Ones".
Darko is quite confident in qualifying for the main event; the problem lies with his competitors.
Just thinking about the names on that list, he couldn't help but wonder, "Three years until the 'God's Cup'... Three years... is it really possible?"
Although a man can't say he can't, he's still a boy...
Moreover, the "Tower" tarot card he received from Athena also caused him constant worry.
"what's on your mind"
Pandora appeared out of nowhere and gently clinked her glass against the wine glass he had placed on the table.
As the soft clinking of glasses rang out, Dark snapped out of his reverie and instinctively put on a smile: "I wasn't thinking about anything."
Pandora glanced at him: "You've been drinking."
Dak could only smile wryly and say, "Before it flows into your mouth, it's still grape juice."
Pandora's eyes flashed, then she smiled and said, "I see it, it's the God of Light."
Dark said, "There's nothing I can do."
“Yes, there are many choices we can’t make.” Pandora sighed softly, twirling the stem of the glass, lost in thought for a moment.
Ollie picked up the flask and poured some wine into her glass. "Fill it up," she said suddenly.
Ollie paused slightly before filling the glass with red wine.
Pandora looked up, smiled at her, and then picked up the wine glass that belonged to Dak on the table. She lifted both glasses slightly, letting the red wine flow into each glass, leaving each half-full.
Then she returned the glass of wine to Dark's hand, took his hand again, and whispered, "Is that how it is?"
The two held hands, already in a "cross-cup" pose.
Dak nodded helplessly, and they drank together.
This is the "cross-cupped wine".
Ollie stood to the side, a slight hint of emotion on her face, but nothing more. She knew Pandora was asserting her dominance, but she didn't care. Because she wasn't greedy.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Pandora pursed her lips, guided Dark to put down his glass, and then suddenly grabbed his hand and ran towards the dance floor.
It was now time for the dance, and many men and women were dancing to the music of the piano.
Even Apollo, the "God of Light," just entered the dance floor.
His dance partner was none other than Lady Moses, the one who wrote his love poems.
"..." The dance between Apollo and Lady Moses naturally became the centerpiece of the ball.

But Darkdemon and Pandoradoragon are equally captivating. This couple, blessed by Cupid, constantly draws attention.
Meanwhile, in the projection at the center of the palace, the dungeon battle was entering its final stages.
The 48-hour competition has finally reached its final stage. Sixty players from twenty teams across four departments are scattered throughout the area, vying for the most valuable rare treasure chest.
As the number of regular treasure chests decreases significantly, the high value of rare treasure chests will gradually become apparent.
The dungeon battle naturally veered towards the competition for rare treasure chests.
Second grade, third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade. Players of all grades can play a role in the treasure chest competition.
This competition has clearly transcended PvE and is now PvP! As the competition entered its final hour, every player in the dungeon received a notification that PvP was now unbanned.
In this final hour, players defeated by their opponents will be teleported directly outside the dungeon, losing their chance to continue competing for rare treasure chests. This rule instantly intensified the dungeon battles, raising the level of competition by three notches.
The students inside the college kept their eyes straight ahead.
Many people in the palace were also drawn to the projection.
Dark and Pandora are dancing in the dance floor, with a fierce battle taking place in the dungeon in the background.
He was able to stay focused at first, but then he couldn't help but get distracted. Pandora gave him a quick, disapproving look, then led him to the edge of the dance floor. After just one song, they left the dance floor.
Then, she took Dark's arm and returned to their seats, deciding to watch the game together. They belonged to different departments, so their allies naturally differed. Pandora, a graduate of the Magic Academy, could never possibly side with the Noble Academy.
Dark wouldn't switch to the Magic Academy just because his lover was there. His eyes were firmly fixed on the contestants from the Noble Academy, including Anna, Angie, and Joey, who were currently being chased by the third-year students from the Fool's Academy.
As second-year students, their ability to hold their own against third-year students is proof of their strength.
All I can say is that the House of Nobles still has a promising future.
However, under such intense pursuit, they naturally had no time to search for rare treasure chests.
—But what if the treasure chest just jumps right in your face?
Darke then quietly saw a "treasure chest monster" dart out from the shadows in the corner, practically walking right into its trap.
"Mimics" are monsters that originally existed in the dungeons. Now, during the Dungeon Contest, a special type of "Mimic" has been spawned in the dungeons, with a real treasure chest hidden inside its belly.
The treasure chests inside these "treasure chest monsters" are often rare treasure chests containing a large number of points.
Of course, most of them are just ordinary "Mimics".
Players often encounter fierce battles when they activate "Mimics" in their quest to find rare treasure chests.
There are wolves in front and behind and tigers behind.
Anna, Angie, and Joey, however, remained calm.
The three exchanged a quick glance, and then Anna suddenly created a clone that was exactly the same as her. Then, together with Joey, they turned and retreated, drawing away the third-year students from Fool's House who were chasing from behind.
Angie, on the other hand, faced the three-meter-tall (treasure chest monster) all by herself.
The swift and correct response earned the House of Nobles another point. However, Joey was killed while covering the retreat during the subsequent chase. The House of Nobles' fighting force was reduced by one.
On the other side, in the third year of the Noble Academy, only Doron and Rose remained.
Rose demonstrated her strength as a "Star Goddess's Favored One" in this dungeon battle, performing adequately.
To put it another way, it would be "very active".
However, Dorron's performance in this competition was not much less impressive. His newly created lizard-like magical spirit helped him uncover a large number of treasure chests.
Fourth year at the Noble Academy.
The senior student wielding the "Stardust Armor" displayed formidable combat power, instantly becoming the brightest star among the fourth-year students.
Fifth grade at the Noble Academy.
Although the three-person team led by senior Snake Harriman was slightly inferior to their opponents of the same grade, they still performed well.
Sixth grade at the Noble Academy.
Leading the team in this dungeon battle is still senior Edwin Clarissa, who is currently competing with other students from different departments for a super-large rare treasure chest that is easily recognizable!
Guarding this enormous and rare treasure chest is, unsurprisingly, a giant dragon. They now have to face both the dragon and the fifth-year students from the Magic Academy and the sixth-year students from the Fool's Academy simultaneously—a very precarious situation.
Because the fifth-year team from the Magic Academy was led by Winiscrat. Winiscrat had not received an invitation to the Celestial Tea Party, she naturally participated in this dungeon battle.
The good news is that Gina Grant, a sixth-year student at Fool's House, didn't receive an invitation either, but didn't participate because she wasn't in the house.
This gave Edwin an opportunity to take a roundabout approach.
Currently, the total scores of the four departments are still close, and that super-large rare treasure chest may be the key to deciding the outcome.
Chapter 1681 Darkdemon and the Goddess of Stars (4k)
So far, even with the loss of some key students, the Noble Academy's overall performance this year is still quite good.
The perfect performance of the second-year students, the great activity of the third-year students, and the sudden rise of the fourth-year students enabled the Noble House to maintain its leading position with difficulty during the 48-hour battle.
Although the lead wasn't large, and could be overtaken at any moment in the final battle, it was still an extremely excellent performance. This year's Dungeon Fighter Tournament eliminated the 100,000-point reward for the final winner, and the 100,000-point bonus for winning the upcoming Duel Tournament has also been removed. This prevents the various departments from widening the gap significantly by winning a single event.
Therefore, winning a single event is no longer as important as it used to be.
The final Academy Cup is calculated based on the total score, and all the previous accumulations are only "essential groundwork" until the last moment.
In other words, it's okay to lose, but you can't lose too much.
If the deficit is within 10,000 points, it can be temporarily ignored.
After all, the tournament points for the duel competition are in units of "ten thousand".
Only when the final integral is tied at the "ten thousand" level will the integral in smaller units be examined.
The contestants need to accurately calculate their final score based on the total number of credits earned in the academic year.
Only when you are more than 10,000 points ahead of your opponent can you be considered to have established a relatively clear advantage.
This means that the department can win one less match in the subsequent duel competition.
As time flew by, there was less than half an hour left until 8 p.m.
The scores of the four colleges are still neck and neck.
The projection clearly displayed the total points for the four departments. Dak glanced at the points ranking and then mentally calculated the points converted from the total credits for the academic year.
The Magic Academy holds an advantage in this year's credit rankings, followed closely by the Noble Academy, then the Fool's Academy, and finally the Knight Academy.
However, after conversion according to a certain ratio, the points converted from the credits of the four colleges did not actually show a particularly significant difference.
In this dungeon battle, if the Noble Academy's total score is about 12,000 points ahead of the Magic Academy, it can basically guarantee a lead of more than 10,000 points.
However, the current lead is only about two thousand points. If they cannot win the battle for that super-large rare treasure chest, it will be virtually impossible to achieve a lead of more than ten thousand points.
In other words, Edwin's sixth-grade team is playing the most important role tonight.
The spotlights on the projection stage were mostly shining directly above their heads. More than half of the audience watched them with a hint of nervousness.
But Edwin's situation is not good.
Winnie Skadi's team from the Magic Academy was incredibly powerful; every attack she made was a wide-range ice-based ultimate skill that covered the entire area, simultaneously striking everyone present and the giant dragon boss.
Her other two teammates used magic cards to protect her firmly, establishing an unbreakable defense.
At this moment, Edwin's first thought was to join forces with the Fool's House team to attack the Magic Academy team.
But the Fool's House squad not only refused his joint proposal, but also launched wave after wave of attacks against them.
