MTL NOVEL Chapter 70
Chapter 70: Dak Demont Expresses Gratitude to the Sect [2]
There was one question that had been swirling in Dak’s mind.
Why did they have to choose to enter the secret passage at night?
Wouldn’t daytime be better?
Daytime clearly had many advantages.
① There were no patrols by constructs.
② The professors were busy.
③ It was bright!
It happened to be a free afternoon on Wednesday.
Dak took a slight detour and entered the secret passage without anyone noticing.
Following the route he took when exiting last night, he found the temple within just over ten minutes.
As expected.
No one was inside the temple!
Neither the mysterious sect nor Wit with his bottom blown up understood the benefits of daylight.
Dak sent the Imp Beast outside as a lookout, while he summoned Lil’Eevee and began collecting “Bliss”!
The most crucial step was how to bring out “Bliss.”
For others, this might be difficult.
But for Dak, injecting a bit of mana could draw out the “Bliss” accumulated in the goddess statue.
Then, using the Mana Dropper, he easily extracted a tube of it!
Too easy.
So easy that Dak almost thought he was dreaming.
The Thought Bottle borrowed from the professor could store thirty drops.
Dak quickly filled the bottle and sucked one more drop into the Mana Dropper before reluctantly leaving the small temple.
However, he didn’t notice.
After he left…
Fine cracks slowly appeared on the goddess statue’s white jade-like skin.
…
At 3:30 PM, Dak had returned to his dorm.
He laid out his experimental equipment, placed the Thought Bottle in the upper left corner, and put the Mana Dropper upside down on the rack. Then, he washed his hands and eagerly started the experiment.
He already had some experience in crafting the Capital Sin Series Mana Cards.
Basically, he followed the precise method used for the Emotion Card.
First, he boiled the “brain juice,” then prepared the “sealing liquid.”
Next, he took a blank Mana Card and spread it out on the table.
Then, he evenly applied the “brain juice,” which resembled egg whites, onto the Mana Card to change its surface properties, making it easier for emotional substances to adhere.
Then…
Dak took the Mana Dropper and pressed its tip against the blank Mana Card, squeezing the Mana Brain!
The single drop of “Bliss” stored in the Mana Brain spewed out!
The effect of the “brain juice” took hold; “Bliss” spread like paint on white paper, instantly staining it.
Unlike the dark gold color of “Pride,” “Bliss” presented an ambiguous pink but very faint!
At this point, Dak discovered the problem: “This isn’t right. When making the Mana Card of ‘Pride,’ a single drop turned the Mana Card into a very rich dark gold. Could it be due to poor quality? One drop isn’t enough?”
With a hint of doubt, Dak extracted another drop of “Bliss” from the Thought Bottle and dripped it onto the card again.
The pink on the card finally deepened slightly, but it still couldn’t match the “Bliss I” made from the Flower Card.
Only after dripping the third drop of “Bliss” did the Mana Card’s color become very close to that of “Bliss I.”
Dak recorded this phenomenon and began applying the sealing liquid.
…
Over ten minutes later, a “Bliss” series Mana Card was finally completed.
Dak carefully observed the card.
Perhaps due to the experimental process, he felt this thing wasn’t quite reliable.
“Let’s try it first.”
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the Imp Beast, who was feigning sleep on the bird perch.
…
The experiment showed that the Mana Card still had some effect, though it was slightly inferior to the Flower Card in duration but similar in affecting emotions.
Then he did a simple calculation:
“A single ‘Bliss I’ uses three drops of ‘Bliss.’ Wouldn’t ‘Bliss II’ require nine drops? What about ‘Bliss III’? Thirty drops?”
Considering that continuing to make “Bliss II” might lead to insufficient “Bliss” for “Bliss III,” Dak decided—skip “Bliss II” and attempt “Bliss III” directly!
“Still 28 drops left. Let’s hope it’s enough.”
By now, Dak had little hope for the “Bliss” produced by the goddess statue, only hoping this experiment would provide experience for making “Pride III.”
Nevertheless, he took one of the two blank Mana Cards worth 50 credits and began to carefully craft.
The steps were roughly the same as before, except he used all 28 drops of “Bliss”!
Yes, he injected all remaining “Bliss”!
As a result, the 50-credit blank Mana Card was completely dyed in an overly seductive golden pink, exuding a strong light-headed aura.
Maintaining composure, he continued crafting.
He applied the sealing liquid and drew the activation arrays.
Seven arrays in one go!
When the last array successfully triggered, even Dak himself found it unbelievable. Had “Bliss III” really been crafted?
…
From外观上看，这张”极乐Ⅲ”似乎和”极乐Ⅰ”没什么太大差别，仅是颜色上给人感觉更加的妖娆，而且透着一股浓而不腻的香气。
但任何事物都不能仅从外表去评价。
想要得知其内在如何，唯有实验一途！
达克不由得再次看向了小恶魔兽。
“不是吧阿sir，又来？”
刚刚从极乐状态恢复过来的小恶魔兽顿时如坠深渊！
“喵喵喵……”
猫猫草趴在阳台的窗户上往里瞟。
这可爱的叫声却被小恶魔兽认成了恶意的嘲讽！
它把爪子一伸，躺尸。
“来吧！我是你的了！”
生活就像被痴女盯上，既然无法反抗，就要学会享受。
小恶魔兽跟着达克这么久了，也算了学到了这一句至理名言。
……
达克无奈摇头。
小恶魔兽确实有些可怜了。
一直以来，真的很抱歉。
但是，该做的实验还得做！
谁叫你最耐（一种植物）呢？
达克深吸了口气，以食指和中指扣住“极乐Ⅲ”的魔导卡，在身前轻轻一划，便是启动了“召唤术”。
“以达克·迪蒙之名，魔导召唤！”
刹那间……
从“极乐Ⅲ”的魔导卡中爆发出极其强烈的粉色之光。
几乎整个宿舍都被照亮成了少女的颜色。
除了施法者的本人没有受到影响之外，窗外的猫猫草都发出了软绵绵的喵喵叫。
至于正面接受了强光照耀的小恶魔兽……
