Chapter 59: Dark Demon Masters Ancient Technology
After Virt left, Dark finally spoke to Professor Cazel, "Professor, have you found anything?"
Professor Cazel shook his head, "The alchemy technology of magic cards has developed to a very mature stage. Even if dismantled by force, it's difficult to penetrate its essence. This is why many mages can safely sell new magic cards after developing them."
Hearing this, Dark couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
But at the same time, he also gained some insight.
It is precisely because magic cards come with anti-theft technology that people are motivated to delve into research, continuously pioneering and advancing, allowing magic technology to develop at a high speed.
Professor Cazel added, "However, I sensed a very ancient aura from that flower card, likely involving some powers I am not familiar with. But since Virt Gold is the son of a hero, he must have gifts derived from the hero. It's normal that I can't see through it."
Dark's mind turned, and he stated his true purpose for coming, "Then, Professor, how can we guard against the mind-peeping of such magic cards?"
Professor Cazel twirled his magic pen and smiled again, "Dark, it's not easy."
Dark also smiled, "That's why I came to consult you, Professor."
Professor Cazel then beckoned, "Come here."
Dark stood up and walked behind the desk, facing Professor Cazel.
The professor looked him up and down and said, "You are very talented, but sometimes rushing for success is not advisable. Any magic technology involving the brain is very dangerous because human research on the brain is still only at the experiential level. However, if you really want to learn, I can teach you a mental magic."
Dark: "Mental magic?"
Professor Cazel nodded, "Yes. With the popularization of magic technology, ancient magic has gradually been forgotten in the dust of history. But we must understand that not all outdated technologies are necessarily bad."
Dark said, "Indeed. Just like history, we can always draw inspiration from the past."
Professor Cazel was very pleased, "You have no magic foundation, so let's not talk about overly profound mental magic for now. I have a magic here that can resist mind invasion by concentrating mental power. Do you want to learn it?"
Dark naturally nodded in agreement.
...
Professor Cazel's magic was really basic, called "Meditation Technique," said to be a technique used by ancient mental mages to refine mental power.
After mastering this technique, although it cannot defend against mind invasion at all times like Professor Cazel, it can provide temporary defense if cast in advance.
However, this technique is not so easy to master and requires gradual learning through diligent practice.
...
After teaching the learning method, Professor Cazel said, "I can help you experience the meditative state of casting the Meditation Technique in advance."
Dark knew this was an opportunity and immediately said seriously, "What do I need to do?"
Professor Cazel nodded with satisfaction, "Just close your eyes."
Dark immediately closed his eyes.
Professor Cazel raised his hand, a light gathering at his fingertip, and suddenly pointed it between Dark's eyebrows.
The light then spread out, rippling like a breath.
Dark suddenly felt his brain completely empty, nothing existed, only a very small black dot in the middle.
Once he focused his attention on this black dot, it felt as if his entire soul was drawn to it.
"Wow!"
He suddenly shouted and opened his eyes.
The professor asked with concern, "How was it?"
Dark said, "It felt like my entire spirit was concentrated at one point, with no other thoughts."
The professor nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this is the meditative state. Remember this feeling, it will help you master the Meditation Technique faster."
Dark immediately nodded in agreement.
His gains were actually more than Professor Cazel imagined.
Because after experiencing it once, he immediately realized that this was also a technique that could assist in "emotional control"!
"This is much more effective than reciting the Heart Sutra."
Although it cannot prevent the sudden emergence of emotions, it can prevent the continuous outburst of emotions.
For example, when in a rage, one can use the Meditation Technique to forcibly suppress the rising anger.
As long as dealt with in time, it can stop the loss at [Rage +1], and not further escalate to [Rage +2], [Rage +3], [Rage +10].
...
"Professor," Dark suddenly said.
Professor Cazel looked over, "What is it?"
Dark thought carefully and said, "Actually, I went to Traveler Street yesterday to ask the senior who gave me the flower card about the origin of those flower cards."
Professor Cazel immediately became interested, "Who made them? Ordinary students couldn't make such fine props."
Dark pondered, "The senior said they were distributed by you."
Professor Cazel showed obvious confusion, "Distributed by me? Wait, someone is impersonating me? Then these flower cards might have some tricks I don't know about. Let me see..."
Dark was completely surprised by how quickly Professor Cazel's mind worked, realizing the problem with just one sentence.
Professor Cazel quickly pulled out his own flower card from his card pack.
The flower card adorned with green roses emitted a faint light under the lamp.
The professor pressed his hand, and the green roses floated out, revealing a slightly immature beautiful face on the card.
Dark happened to see it and noticed it was a little fairy with butterfly wings.
He didn't think much of it, assuming it was an old acquaintance of Professor Cazel.
But when Professor Cazel took out tools to forcibly dismantle the flower card, he hesitated.
After a while, he put down the tools and said, "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll discuss this with other professors this afternoon. Don't worry, leave it to us. Maybe it's just a prank?"
Dark responded, "I hope so."
Then he sensed the atmosphere and left the office.
...
Walking on the way to the cafeteria, Dark thought about Professor Cazel's various reactions, convinced that Professor Cazel couldn't be the maker of the flower cards.
But did he also hide some secrets?
And what role did Virt, with his [Forbidden Love], play in all this?
Dark gradually became interested.
But he knew what "tasting lightly" meant; delving too deeply into such events could lead to emotional instability.
Being an emotionless bystander might be a better choice.
By the time he finished lunch, it was already one in the afternoon.
He didn't forget to go to the library to borrow "Magic Spirit Alchemy - General Manual."
→ Fortunately, it hadn't been borrowed yet.
