Chapter 205: Dark Demon and the Secret Passage
“Clang!”
Just as several four-star golems were vying for dominance, a light sound echoed from the bathroom.
Then came the splashing water.
“Fufu!”
The Piplup danced under the showerhead.
Excitedly, it turned on the faucet in the fish tank.
Once the fish tank was full, it flicked its tail and leaped into the tank, splashing water everywhere!
Clearly, the Piplup had found its “Paradise” in this bedroom!
On the other side,
Ditto had already carried the Trash Slime to the balcony, lying like two pools of liquid, basking in the moonlight while communicating with tentacles.
Though they couldn’t actually understand each other, it felt very harmonious.
But the serene atmosphere didn’t last long; the Wrestler Eagle, wearing a wrestling mask, appeared on the balcony.
It scratched its chin with its claw at the tip of its wing, looking at the sky beyond the balcony railing.
After a while…
The Wrestler Eagle leaped lightly onto the balcony windowsill.
It unlocked the window, and with the cold wind rushing in, it flapped its wings and soared into the night sky!
Moonlight shone down as it soared through the sky!
…
“Click!”
Ditto’s body slowly elongated, transforming into a twisted human form, then reached out to close the window and lock it again.
“Hurry!”
(This freezing weather, what if it harms my baby?)
Then it returned to its original form, sticking back to the Trash Slime.
…
Inside…
Eevee somehow squeezed into the Grass Cat Plant’s sleeping basket, curling up together, already closing its eyes.
Only Huhu crawled around the bedroom, as if taking a walk.
…
After calming down, the Big Milk Jar thought that if it got too enthusiastic, it might wake the owner. It suppressed its emotions.
It played with the Dairy Cow Grass Plant, seeing it was sleepy, so it carried it back to the small nest on the balcony.
Then, the Big Milk Jar suddenly had an idea, eyeing the empty spot on the large bed!
So it carefully crawled under the covers at the foot of the bed…
The Imp Beast, forced back to its perch, stared fiercely at the three four-star golems occupying three beds, muttering something about “getting you sooner or later.”
As the movements in the bedroom became more subtle, the magic lights automatically turned off, leaving no light in the room.
…
The next morning, the dawn light entered the room.
Dark woke up in a daze, suddenly feeling an unusual softness on both sides of his body.
This sensation was unfamiliar; even when the Grass Cat Plant and Imp Beast occasionally lay on him, he barely noticed because they were too small.
But now…
His mind struggled for several seconds before he could force open his eyes, finally discovering the source of the anomaly.
Two magic golems, in their sleep, were tightly pressed against him.
Eevee’s ribbon was even wrapped around his right arm.
Deoxys had curled up, like an ordinary cat, hugging his left arm with its cheek pressed against it.
Dark blinked, not daring to move.
The feeling of being surrounded by fur was incredibly pleasant.
Perhaps this is what they mean by “the best time of the day”!
…
Perhaps sensing Dark’s subtle movements, Eevee and Deoxys woke up after about three minutes.
“Mee—”
Eevee lazily burrowed into its owner’s arms.
Deoxys quietly released its grip on the owner and casually jumped off the bed.
The Big Milk Jar, sleeping at the foot of the bed, slowly opened its eyes, sitting up halfway, the blanket sliding off.
Dark glanced around, noticing the magic golems gradually awakening, suddenly realizing what was missing in the dormitory!
A bed and blankets were essential!
Also, a cat climbing frame should be added to increase vertical space.
A couple of beginner textbooks should be provided for those who want to learn.
The bedroom’s space was limited, unable to provide them with a field to stretch out, but if they learned to read, they could pass the time by reading books.
He then carried Eevee off the bed, carefully inspecting everything, confirming “ten minus one.”
“Where is the Wrestler Eagle?”
With some confusion, Dark drew the “Wrestler Eagle” magic card and discovered it was sulking inside.
Last night, after freely soaring in the sky for a few minutes, it flew back before its mana ran out, only to find the door locked.
The tightly locked window had isolated it outside the “paradise,” making it feel lost.
…
Dark listened to the Wrestler Eagle’s rant, then asked who locked the window.
Ditto hesitantly raised its tentacle.
Dark praised it.
Wrestler Eagle: “? ?”
…
Around nine o’clock.
Dark tended to the Worm Tree, fed the three Grass Cat Plants, and left the dormitory carrying a large bag.
When Diana and Rose came to visit, they found nobody home.
…
“The paradise” lasted only one night; the magic golems returned to their cards to rest.
Dark summoned only the Imp Beast, accompanying him.
This seemingly ordinary matter made the Imp Beast suddenly cherish the daily routine.
It tearfully touched its eye, rubbing its chin against the scarf, wanting to cry!
…
The first day after Christmas, Dark Demon finally began his grand adventure!
He made thorough preparations, bringing all the tools he could.
Expected duration was 72 hours, aiming to return before dawn three days later.
To date, the students had not only placed various signposts in the secret passage but also drawn a map of the outer circle of the secret passage.
These could be bought anywhere in Traveler’s Street.
However, due to the “variability” of the secret passage, the map couldn’t be fully trusted.
In short, he checked the map while advancing.
With the Imp Beast leading the way, the initial progress was smooth.
Alvaraite’s treasure map included seventeen landmarks, including the treasure location.
The first landmark was the “pawn,” which was the statue of the great magus.
The second was the “elephant,” which was the elephant-headed lantern among the uniform torches.
As for the third landmark…
An hour later.
Dark looked at the “panda” pattern on the treasure map, then looked up at the two giant bear statues guarding the entrance to the tunnel, finally confirming that these two black and white bear statues were the third landmark he was looking for.
? (A plant)!
