The news from the Great Sage Daily is always so timely; this morning, the front page of the newspaper was already completely filled with reports of yesterday's match.
The headline banner even featured a photo of him dueling with Noah Sharp!
"puff!"
Dak almost spat out his sweet coffee, then quickly put it down and composed himself.
Before the two photos is a scene of fierce battle between the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Black Abyss Dragon. However, seemingly to emphasize the outcome, the Black Abyss Dragon in the picture is howling in agony with its head tilted back. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, on the other hand, has its jaws clamped down on the Black Abyss Dragon's neck.
At this moment, Dark Dimon held a magic card between his fingers, his face cold and detached. Noah Sharp, on the other hand, pounded the card table, his face filled with despair.
"What's going on? This newspaper has taken sides too?"
Dark continued looking down and came across the words "Son of the Stars." Compared to Noah Sharp's "Baron of the Night," the title "Son of the Stars" was several levels higher.
“Now we’re really famous…” Dark sighed.
He used to walk the streets of the capital and might not even be recognized, but now even the old man selling pancakes at the intersection probably knows him.
Noah Sharp, the "Baron of the Night," is quite famous, especially among ordinary people.
Those who like Noah Sharp might develop a dislike for Dark after seeing this headline.
不过也就那样吧.
Dak didn't pay much attention and turned to the next page.
During this period, the "Great Sage Daily" has been reporting on topics related to the election of councilors, and today it has only been temporarily moved to the second page.
The kingdom has only thirty-six councilors in total, but now there are five vacancies.
Therefore, there are a lot of people running for parliament this year.
They are now in the first part of the legislative election – the public vote.
Candidates across the country need to campaign in their respective regions by giving speeches and engaging in other activities to garner votes.
Only by obtaining a certain percentage of the votes from the region's population can one become a candidate for parliament.
Only those who become alternate members of parliament are eligible to come to the capital to participate in the formal parliamentary election.
However, this does not mean that the first step has been successfully completed.
The alternate councilors who have arrived in the capital must continue campaigning to win over the common people in the second round of voting.
This time, commoners need to select five candidates from among the alternate councilors to vote. The total number of votes will be counted, and then twenty-five people will be selected from top to bottom based on the number of votes to enter the second part – the noble voting stage.
The voting process for nobles was no different from that for commoners; both used the number of votes to rank the twenty-five alternate members of parliament.
However, in this second stage, alternate members will not be eliminated; they will all be able to enter the third stage—the parliamentary review stage.
The council reviews the applications, starting with the top-ranked alternate member who votes to decide whether to appoint the candidate, continuing until five people are selected.
Finally, the five elected members of parliament will need to undergo Christian baptism.
As long as there are no abnormalities during their baptism, they are official members of parliament.
The entire process of the council election was very clear. Although it was not truly democratic, there was still room for public participation.
Local elections are now in full swing throughout the kingdom. Dak occasionally glances at the newspapers and recognizes several familiar faces, such as Gavin North, the "Tiger of the North Wind."
Suna Montilfali, the lord of the Free City.
There were also many famous nobles in the capital.
The City of Freedom somehow became an autonomous territory of the kingdom.
Lord Suna Montilfali thus gained the opportunity to participate in the council election.
But to be honest, Dak doesn't think much of her.
"She's probably just running for office to raise the profile of the City of Freedom."
Good morning, muah!

Chapter 1073 What exactly is Darkdemon's destiny? (5k)
"This semester is almost over..."
Dak closed the newspaper, set it aside, finished the last sip of his coffee, and got up to walk to the balcony.
A gentle breeze blows, causing hair to flutter, and the ancient castle radiates a newfound glow under the rising sun.
On the spiral clock tower, early-rising magical elves frolicked and played in the corridors.
The fragrance of healing flowers mingles with the fresh air, soothing a slightly weary soul.
Dak stood on the balcony for a while, then took out the latest issue of "Claire's Travelogue" from the bookshelf, sat on the recliner, and prepared to read it for the second time.
As I watched, drowsiness crept in, and I gradually drifted off to sleep.
The spring sunshine gently caressed his face, and little furballs of different colors gradually grew on Dak's body, all of which curled up in his arms and fell asleep.
evening.
Dak invited Pandora, his senior, to dinner at a newly opened Chinese restaurant on Traveler's Street.
The so-called "Chinese restaurant" is a Chinese restaurant that serves rice as its main dish.
As for what constitutes "Chinese style"
In short, this is the inventor's name, and how it is interpreted is entirely up to interpretation. The origin of Chinese restaurants is based on the successful cultivation of rice and the emergence of rice.
Because of the Duke's backing, they quickly passed the testing phase. Now they have expanded to the area around the capital, and recently opened a store in Traveler's Street.
However, Dac did not participate in the operation, and these shops were ostensibly unrelated to the Duke's mansion.
The Chinese dishes at this restaurant nowadays taste a bit strange, as they have been modified to suit the tastes of the world.
In addition, the shop also offers items such as sushi, rice balls, and curry rice, all of which are categorized as "Chinese style" because it would be too complicated to differentiate them further.
However, Pandora seems to have a particular fondness for pork chop rice.
Dak rested his chin on his hand, watching her eat bowl after bowl, and felt happy just thinking about it.
Tomorrow morning is exam week, and both of them will be busy with final exams. They probably won't have many opportunities to get together in the short term. Tonight's dinner is just a regular get-together, where they can chat casually.
After Pandora had finished eating and drinking, Dark asked the waiter to bring two fruit platters before he formally started talking about magic-related topics.
But it was Pandora who first mentioned "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
"Your white dragon, apart from being a different species, looks exactly like a copy of the 'Sky White Dragon,'" Senior Pandora said casually.
Dak, sipping his watermelon juice, said, "Maybe it's because they're all legendary dragons."
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Sky White Dragon do indeed look very similar. But if we delve deeper, it's not necessarily true which is a copy of the other—
Of course, Dark couldn't possibly argue with someone over such a boring topic, so he immediately steered the conversation to the "Legendary Dragon," which he was more interested in.
Senior Pandora nodded slightly and said, "As expected, your 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' is also a legendary dragon."
Dark said, "The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a type of Dragon of Destruction, capable of wielding destructive power."
Senior Pandora said, "My 'Sky Dragon' belongs to the Sky Dragon class and wields the power of purification. Noah Sharp's 'Abyss Dragon' should be the Dragon of Despair."
Dark said, "My understanding of the legendary dragons is very limited, but in the extremely distant legendary era, they should have been dragons on par with gods. If we can further explore the power of the legendary dragons, we might even be able to touch the realm of the God Cards."
Pandora said, "The God Card... My 'Celestial Ultimate Dragon,' formed by fusing three 'Celestial White Dragons,' is only at the fifth rank with a +1 rank... By current evaluation standards, it should still be one rank short, right?"
Dark said, "A true God Card should be imbued with a divine soul, but whether it is the sixth tier is still unclear."
Pandora, her eyes filled with longing, said, "I really hope to see it sooner."
Dark smiled and said, "Me too."
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then asked, "Did your 'Sky Dragon' receive any information about the Sky Dragon's legacy?"
Senior Pandora glanced up at him, then took out a "Celestial White Dragon" card from her card holder and placed it on the table.
Dark could sense that this "Sky Dragon" was not the one imbued with sentience. However, it did possess a familiar yet peculiar aura.
Senior Pandora said, "This is my latest 'Sky Dome White Dragon.' I feel that it's essentially no different from the 'Sky Dome White Dragon' I forged earlier, but it did acquire some fragments of information."
Dark frowned slightly and said, "It might be related to the unfolding of the Shinto ritual." Pandora nodded and said, "Perhaps."
Dark then took out his own "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and said, "This possibility is extremely high. The impact of the opening of the divine ritual on this world may be greater than imagined. It may cause the revival of the gods to take place ahead of schedule. Our white dragon being able to obtain the inheritance information of the legendary dragon can also be seen as a kind of proof."
As he spoke, he infused a little magic power into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which had been dormant in the magic card.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the card art opens its eyes and then spits out a ball of white light.
The orb of light floated above the card, emitting a very peculiar aura.
Then, Pandora's "White Dragon of the Sky" suddenly flashed with white light as if in response.
Pandora, with a sudden thought, also infused her magic, awakening the "Sky White Dragon".
The same white orb of light was spat out from the mouth of the "Sky Dragon". Then, to the astonishment of the two, they attracted each other, approached, and merged, eventually becoming an even larger orb of light.
The ball of light kept flashing white light, and you could sense information exchange inside it.
A moment later, the light spheres suddenly separated, becoming two light spheres again, each flying back above the magic card.
Dark and Pandora exchanged a glance, then simultaneously reached out and touched the orb of light in front of them.
As their fingertips touched, both of them frowned slightly and squinted to sense the information. The amount of inherited information, which was originally very limited, increased significantly after the interaction between them.
Dark sensed carefully and suddenly heard a faint dragon's roar. A giant dragon radiating white light flew from the sky, its wings spread wide, blotting out the sun.
The dragon's shadow was still blurry, but the destructive aura emanating from it was already quite oppressive.
Behind it was a gray-white expanse, as if it had flown out of a destroyed world, giving off a terrifying pressure.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the dragon turned its head slightly, and its oblique dragon eyes suddenly became clear, and an extremely violent intent instantly emanated from those eyes.
Dark suddenly opened his eyes and saw that Pandora, who was sitting opposite him, also had a heart-pounding expression.
The two exchanged a glance, then nodded slightly, understanding dawning on them. Both had seen the phantom of the legendary dragon.
After a pause, Dark said, "The amount of information has increased, but it's still not enough." Senior Pandora nodded and said, "It seems we need to collect more of the legendary dragon's legacy before we can uncover the answer. But until then, we can guess what it might bring us."
Dark smiled and said, "It could be the inheritance of power, or it could be guiding us to find the remains of the legendary dragon, or a treasure trove. After all, dragons have been known to be greedy since ancient times."
Senior Pandora also laughed and said, "I think the possibility of a dragon tomb is more likely. If we gather enough information, we may be able to find their burial place, and maybe even find the remnants of dragon souls."
Dark said, "It's possible that both are true."
Pandora said, "Anyway, it looks very interesting."
Dark said, "Indeed. However, gathering enough information is not easy. Currently, it seems that only Noah Sharp might possess the same inheritance. But he hasn't contacted us, so it's possible he hasn't yet obtained the 'Dragon of Despair's' inheritance information."
“The fourth one,” Senior Pandora said, “His ‘Black Abyss Dragon’ was likely forged before the divine ritual even began, and the three ‘Black Abyss Dragons’ he displayed in the duel didn’t possess any aura of inheritance. I suspect he didn’t forge a fourth ‘Black Abyss Dragon.’”
Dark's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "We could try to probe... Hmm, if he really only has three 'Black Abyss Dragons' and hasn't obtained the inheritance information... I mean, we could try to forge a fourth 'Black Abyss Dragon.'"
Senior Pandora couldn't help but chuckle, "That's an idea. But I probably can't offer much help. I always have a hard time cultivating dragons other than white dragons. Do you know about destiny? Oh, right, you're only a second-year student, it's normal that you don't know."
Dak's expression froze; he sensed a hint of smugness in Pan's last words.
But he still humbly asked, "What is destiny?"
Pandora slightly raised her chin and said, "This is fifth-grade material. You can refer to the fifth-grade textbook on magic, Professor Neil Robbins's version."
Dark asked, "Isn't it a current textbook?"
Pandora said, "The current textbooks have cut this part of the knowledge because it lacks practical significance. However, professors will always mention it when they talk about related knowledge."
Dark said, "Could you explain it briefly?"
Senior Pandora said, "Destiny involves fate. In divination, it is a summary of a person's future destiny. We archmages usually use physical objects to metaphorically represent it, regarding it as a symbol. For example, my destiny symbol is the White Dragon, which means that when I use the random transmutation method, the probability of transmuting into a White Dragon is slightly higher than that of ordinary people. Moreover, the success rate is also higher when transmuting magic cards related to the White Dragon."
Dark felt a sudden realization: "So that's how it is. No wonder Diana was always able to create magical spirits of bears."
Senior Pandora smiled and said, "Some people's destinies are more ambiguous, while others' are more clearly defined. The latter are more likely to stand out from the crowd. When we archmages assess magical talent, we actually consider the factor of destiny. The clearer a person's destiny is, the higher their talent as an archmage usually is."
Dark nodded slightly and said, "I think I understand."
Pandora nodded, then changed the subject, saying, "So, what is your destiny?"
Dark blinked and pointed to the sky: "Perhaps it's the stars in the sky."
Senior Pandora said with a hint of helplessness, "In short, the 'Black Abyss Dragon' is beyond my capabilities. We don't even know how many legendary dragons there are right now, so there's no need to worry about it too much. If you have the chance, you can try to train it."
