The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dark laughed, “Actually, I’m quite confident in making ordinary Hanafuda cards. But what we need are special Hanafuda cards that can check willpower. If possible, it would be best to also gather information to determine whether the Hanafuda user is connected to that book.”

　Professor Cazell nodded and said, "That's not difficult to do."

　Dark said, "Indeed. The divination of Hanafuda cards relies on the ability to extract images from the user's surface thoughts, just like the user holding that book. Because of this investigation, they will definitely pay close attention to it. Perhaps what is shown in the Hanafuda cards is not a person they like, but that book!"

　Professor Cazell smiled and said, "With a few more adjustments, we can maximize this probability. I'll add a location function and make it display a secondary character's image on the cards while searching for the book. That way, it won't be discovered on the spot."

　After listening, Dak gradually became excited: "Then let's begin!"

　He couldn't do any of what Professor Cazell was talking about.

　Now that he is involved in the entire experiment, he will surely learn a lot of useful knowledge from it.

　“Hmm,” Professor Kazel said, “show me your terminal.”

　Dark then took out "Soul of the Moon Goddess I" and summoned "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　With the appearance of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess", Professor Kazel sighed slightly, "So it really is it? I was wondering before, this Armament Card of yours was made using the power of the Moon Goddess, right?"

　Dark confessed, "I found the second Temple of the Moon in the secret passage."

　Professor Kazel carefully examined the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" and exclaimed, "A genuine God's Card!"

　He then looked away and said, "If it's this God Card, it's certainly enough to be the final card in Hanafuda. If I'm not mistaken, it should have the characteristic of storing the power of the Moon Goddess?"

　Dak nodded and said, "Yes."

　Professor Kazel said, "That would be even better, as it eliminates the need for external storage."

　As he spoke, he walked to the lab table, cleaned the surface, and said with a shrug, "You do it."

　Dark paused slightly: "Me?"

　Professor Cazell smiled and said, "Yes, you come."

　Dark smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll do it!"

　……

　Dak Dimon's accumulated experience is already more than enough.

　His talent for divination was greater than he had imagined.

　Professor Cazell didn't say much at first, he just watched him work quickly on the lab table.

　Half an hour later, the first flower card was successfully produced.

　Although this flower card doesn't have an elaborately designed card art, its basic effects are very solid, basically the same as the flower cards made by the Seafood Order last year.

　But this is not enough.

　……

　Good morning, good night... Seventeen days left, my small goal is getting harder and harder. Because I can't go home yet, I'm not feeling very well, sigh, but I'll try to update more often.

Chapter 679 Request for Subscription: Darkdemon's Coffin of Death

　Since things had come to this point, Darke naturally wouldn't delve any further.

　He sat in the shop for a while, inquired about what was happening at the Duke's mansion, and then took Josie to buy necessities.

　The two maids arrived together on a flying dragon, so they didn't have much luggage and planned to stay at the academy for a short time.

　As for their place of residence... they will temporarily live with Eve in Claire's original teachers' dormitory.

　They were all located within the college, which made it convenient for experiments.

　By the time we returned from shopping, it was almost 6 p.m.

　Through his conversation with Josie, Dak learned more about the situation at the Duke's mansion.

　The groundbreaking use of "Netherworld Fire" led to a general increase in the overall strength of the maid army.

　And Josie and Nana are among the best of them!

　Both were already top experts in their respective fields. However, they were unable to advance further due to a lack of magical cultivation.

　Now, with the "Fire of the Underworld" as a conduit, their magic has finally broken through its own limits. Relying on the weapon cards personally crafted by Alvito, they are no less powerful than the renowned heroes of the war era.

　Among them, Nana, as the battle maid of "Scorpio Palace", is more proficient in manipulating magic, so she is still able to control her magic after it surges.

　Josie, who received even more magic than her, was completely unable to contain herself and constantly exuded a terrifying aura like that of a magical beast—if it weren't for the magic control device she wore around her neck, it would probably frighten many delicate flowers in a greenhouse.

　At 7 p.m., the crowds on Traveler Street gradually moved to the food street, and the number of customers in the branch gradually decreased. Dakling Eve temporarily closed the store and took them to the restaurant that had been booked in advance for dinner.

　After entering the private room and sitting down at the dining table, both Qiao Xi and Nana appeared slightly reserved.

　Despite Dak Dimon's unpretentious manner, his attitude actually made them feel pressured.

　Fortunately, Professor Lily helped lighten the mood, and Josie and Nana gradually relaxed again.

　Nana clearly realized that her pretentious attitude during the day was not pleasing, so she toned it down a lot at night and became very serious.

　Josie, on the other hand, remained consistent in her words and actions, and the two maids displayed completely different personalities.

　One is full of scheming, the other is completely innocent.

　But Dark doesn't actually dislike either of them.

　You can't be a good assassin without being cunning.

　……

　After dinner, Dak immediately got down to business.

　Josie and Nana weren't there for sightseeing either; both of them were very cooperative.

　Eve originally wanted to return to the store to continue operating, but Dark felt that she would also need to use "Netherworld Fire" afterward, so he called her along as well.

　The group then left Travellers Street and returned to the teachers' dormitory.

　After entering the dormitory, Professor Lily hummed a little tune and flew back to her own room.

　Dak and the others went to Claire's bedroom and locked the door.

　Then Nana cleverly set up a barrier in the dormitory.

　"The Fire of the Underworld" is actually a confidential matter for the Duke's mansion.

　Once everything was ready, Dark used the mindless "Eevee" to sacrifice and summon the "Coffin" in the living room.

　As the "Coffin of Death" emerged from the sacrificial summoning circle, Josie and Nana instantly focused their attention. They clearly sensed an aura emanating from the "Coffin of Death" that shared the same origin as the "Netherworld Fire".

　"Is this the magical spirit that young master mentioned?"

　Nana raised her head, her face filled with fear.

　This isn't a magical spirit, it's clearly a giant coffin!

　If it weren't for the fact that the coffin was entirely pink, giving it an eerie, girlish feel, she would have instinctively shrunk back into the shadows by now.

　But she was quick-witted and almost immediately understood something. She then turned to look at the young master, her face pale.

　"Wait, young master, the method you mentioned for extracting the 'Netherworld Fire' wouldn't be......"

　Could this be it?!

　Dark squinted slightly and smiled, "Don't worry, it won't hurt."

　"Who's afraid of pain?!" Nana's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, suddenly realizing that the young master had become unlovable!

　The "Coffin of Death," finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, lunged at Dark.

　Fortunately, it was slow enough, and Dark was prepared, so it didn't embarrass itself in front of the maids.

　Dark grabbed the shadowy tentacles of the "Coffin of Death" and said to Nana and Josie, "So, who goes first?"

　……

　"Dace!"

　The "Coffin of Death" is over 2.5 meters long, making it appear even taller indoors. Its four shadowy hands wave around, giving it a terrifying appearance.

　Although Josie wasn't afraid of these things, she still looked troubled.

　Given her height and build, wouldn't the interior of this "coffin of death" be a bit too cramped?

　But the maids of the "Leo Palace" were never afraid, so she stepped forward first: "I'll give it a try."

　“Very good,” Dark praised. “I’ll have the ‘Coffin of Death’ come slowly, and if it feels uncomfortable anywhere, just tap the lid. It will open immediately.”

　The "Coffin of Death" can trap a target inside its body, devouring its soul and converting it into magic.

　Although "Netherworld Fire" is not a living being, it possesses characteristics similar to a soul, and its quality is extremely high, thus it can be converted into the upper limit of magic power.

　But it is, after all, just a magical spirit. Even if it possesses intelligence, Dark cannot be sure whether it can distinguish the different souls within its body.

　If the soul of the maid trapped inside is also devoured when the "Netherworld Fire" is consumed, then the priorities are reversed.

　Therefore, this experiment was not entirely without danger.

　In summary, this experiment has three main objectives.

　The first objective is to see if the "Coffin of Death" can distinguish between different souls, consuming only the "Fire of the Underworld" without harming human souls.

　The second objective is to see if the "Coffin of Death" can eradicate the "Fire of the Underworld".

　The third objective is to see if the power the maids gained from the "Netherworld Fire" will disappear after it is eradicated—if it will, then we need to find a way to prevent it from disappearing!

　Each of these three goals carries risks.

　However, Nana and Josie had won their spots from among hundreds of combat maids, so they were naturally prepared to take the risks.

　At Dark's prompting, Josie walked up to the "Coffin of Death," took a deep breath, and said, "Come on!"

　Dark nodded slightly, signaling the "Coffin of Death" to open the lid.

　“Death Coffin—” The Coffin of Death blinked, then suddenly stretched out four shadowy hands, grabbed Josie, opened the coffin lid, and pressed it forcefully into its own body!

　Of course, it's impossible to press it.

　Josie stood still, as steadfast as a rock.

　"Death Coffin" froze slightly, its eyes filled with the frustration of a failed prank.

　Eve covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched this scene.

　Dark said with a hint of helplessness, "Be serious."

　“Death Coffin…” The “Death Coffin”, which was even more frustrated by being scolded, finally put away its playful thoughts.

　Dark looked at it and Josie carefully, then suddenly felt something was off. After a moment, he said, "How about we lie down?"

　Thus, the "Coffin of Death" changed from a standing position to a lying position, finally resembling a coffin.

　Josie lifted the coffin lid and stepped inside. Like a princess waiting for her prince's kiss, she placed her hands on her chest and abdomen and lay down, slightly nervous.

　Despite being enormous in every sense, the "Coffin of Death" was spacious enough that she could even turn over slightly.

　Dak thought for a moment, then took another pillow from the room and placed it under her.

　"how do you feel?"

　"Fortunately."

　With the pillow, Josie did feel much more at ease.

　Dark said, "Then let's begin."

　As soon as he finished speaking, the lid of the "Death Coffin" slammed shut with a "snap," and then a faint aura of the underworld emanated from it.

　Dark immediately realized that the "Coffin of Death" had already begun operation!

　Nana and Eve, who were watching from the sidelines, also showed slightly nervous expressions.

　After that, no one spoke.

　Everyone waited quietly.

　According to the plan, Josie will lie in the coffin in the "Grim Reaper's Coffin" for six minutes.

　The experiment was repeated multiple times, using these six minutes as the dividing line, until the results were obtained.

　……

　The first six minutes passed quickly.
