The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 223: He who is greedy will get nothing (2 in 1)

Secret Realm Escaping Device could be said to be a unique item of Saint Marian.

It also had another name called "Dungeon Escaper".

It was an emergency escape device developed by the academy for the safety of students when exploring the dungeon.

However, it could only be used inside the Saint Marian Academy currently.

As a first-year student, Dark had never been in contact with the Secret Realm Escaping Device before. So he looked at Principal Arte in surprise: "So, even if I failed to slay the dragon, I wouldn’t be in any danger?"

Principal Arte shook her head and said, "Secret Realm Escaping Device will only be triggered automatically when the owner’s life is in danger. Of course, it can also be triggered manually."

That was to say, he would probably still be injured, but as long as his injury was not life-threatening, the device would not be triggered.

Dark understood a little and continued on with his story.

When he talked about the mirror room in the dragon's lair, Principal Arte couldn't help chuckling: "As I expected, this would be the final test."

Dark looked puzzled.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Principal Arte recalled: "That was many years ago. At that time, the professor of Magic Theory was not a Cazer..."

Dark became curious and listened carefully.

Like Professor Lily, Professor Cazer was invited to join the Saint Marian Academy after the war.

Before them, there was another group of professors in the academy.

One of the professors was a Magic Theory professor called Grande Grandel. He was a professor with a personality as unique as his name.

Although Professor Grandel was an excellent magister, he was more interested in knowledge other than magic technology.

He called himself the "Magician of Saint Marian" and had developed many little things that could be triggered without using magic energy.

He always had a lot of whimsical ideas, and whenever he had a new invention, he would eagerly show off his new invention in front of the students, like a child.

The mirror room left by Alvette and the Brave One Bright was learned from Professor Grandel.

"Where is Professor Grandel now?" Dark couldn't help asking.

Principal Arte's face instantly dropped. "He died."

Dark immediately closed his mouth.

Seeing his reaction, Principal Arte regained her composure: "There are always casualties during a war, and that's something that can't be helped. Magic technology during the war was far from being as mature as it is now, and our academy, as the base of magic technology innovation, has always been a thorn in the flesh of demons. Once the academy was invaded by the demons, Professor Grandel stood up to protect the students and died heroically in the end. However, none of his students let him down."

The students that Professor Grandel stood up to protect were those who were later called the "Golden Generation"!

The Brave One, Valkyrie, Sage of Beasts, the Grand Magister, Blood Princess...

If it weren't for the sacrifice of Professor Grandel, the Golden Generation would have died before they could grow up.

...

"I accidentally ruined the atmosphere." Principal Arte took a sip of the black tea and said, "Carry on, I can't wait to know what Alvette will leave behind." ɽàꞐőβËṠ

Dark then said solemnly: "It was a crafting magic circle consisting of three patterns."

"A crafting magic circle consisting of three patterns..." Principal Arte was surprised, "Could it be the Trinity Armor crafting magic circle? She even left this in the school?"

Dark took the opportunity to ask: "What is the Trinity Armor crafting magic circle?"

Principal Arte said: "It is the armor crafting magic circle created by Alvette when she was a student, and it is the basis of the crafting magic circle No. 99, which was later named [Alvette crafting magic Circle]. At that time, she always made the dress she knitted into Armor Cards..."

Dark couldn't help asking: "Can the ordinary dress be made into Armor Cards?"

Principal Arte smiled: "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible, but the Trinity Armor crafting magic Circle created by Alvette breaks this limitation. However, the Trinity crafting magic Circle focuses on the unity of mind, magic energy, and armor. Only the dress or armor made by oneself can be crafted into Armor Cards. From this perspective, it is more difficult to use than other usual armor crafting magic circles.”

Dark smacked his lips, and suddenly realized that it would be very difficult for him to use this crafting magic circle anytime soon.

For someone like him who couldn't even make cosplay props, even if it was just to make a simple dress, it was still very difficult.

Goodbye, Holy Gold Cloths!

Goodbye, Deadly Sin Armor!

Goodbye, Iron Man!

...

Noticing Dark's undisguised expression of disappointment, Principal Arte shook her head and said, "The Trinity crafting magic circle does not have high requirements on the physical armor. Since Alvette could use woven clothes instead, you can also use wood carvings, etc. With the stability of your fingers, learning to carve is not difficult."

An idea flashed in Dark's mind, "This is a good idea."

If I can really learn to carve well, I can even make my own figurines!

However, he still had a lot to learn, and he didn't have time for it at the moment.

Seeing that Dark seemed to know what to do now, Principal Arte continued: "Since you met White and the others in the secret room, do you know if his treasure has been found?"

The thought of the Brave One's treasure made Dark a little helpless, but he still told the principal everything he knew.

Principal Arte was dazed when she heard it: "The Brave One's treasure was actually next to the Dragon's Lair Mirror Room? And it's also a Mirror Room?"

Dark nodded: "Yes. I only discovered them after that vampire destroyed the wall."

Principal Arte said helplessly: "It's really like something Bright would do, what about the treasure he left behind?"

Dark shook his head: "I don't know that very well."

Principal Arte: "Then let's talk about the vampire."

Dark: "Vlad the vampire. I've been thinking about him occasionally in the last two days. He seems to have lost his memory!"

Principal Arte was surprised: "How can you tell?"

Dark: "He didn't recite any magic charm throughout the whole fight, and his attack method was completely different from the vampires who were proficient in magic in the records. So it was pure luck that I was able to defeat him."

Principal Arte: "I see. Then the possibility of external invasion is greatly reduced. But that vampire is still very cunning. The professors haven't found any trace of him until now. Unfortunately, there are so many mysteries in the secret passage that even I can't investigate it thoroughly. For now, the only way to prevent any students from being harmed by him is to temporarily seal the entrance of the secret passage."

Dark: "I hope it works."

"Let's hope so..."

After thinking for a while, Principal Arte changed the subject and asked, "How much do you know about the Holy Grail?"

Dark immediately became excited and replied quickly, "Very limited."

Principal Arte clapped her hands, then a little magical spirit flew over with a key in its mouth.

She took the key and said: "The method of using the Holy Grail is very simple. You just need to close your eyes and make a wish after the Holy Grail is activated. What you need to pay attention to is the extent of the wish. But this varies from person to person. Some people can obtain a breakthrough in the upper limit of magic energy by making a wish, while some people can't even grow one centimeter taller by making a wish. The most conservative choice is a material wish. Generally speaking, the Realization Probability of obtaining the same item will be relatively fixed. Here I have a wish list based on many years of experience, you can refer to it."

She opened the drawer and took out a wish list.

The little magical spirit flew to Dark's side with the wishlist in its mouth. Dark took it over and looked at it carefully.

This wishlist listed numerous wishes, and each wish was marked with a rough Realization Probability.

The Realization Probability of "magic energy growth" and "magic energy breakthrough" was actually different; the Realization Probability of the latter was less than 10%!

However, being able to gather this data showed that many students had chosen the wish of a "magic energy breakthrough".

And magic energy was indeed a shortcoming of human beings.

This was a very important wish for both the mages of the past and the magisters of the present.

Once a breakthrough in magic energy was achieved with the help of the Holy Grail, one's status as a mage or magister would immediately jump up a rank!

In contrast, the Realization Probability of "magic energy growth" exceeded 70 percent.

Dark glanced through it as quickly as possible, and then roughly understood the rules of wishing.

The reason why the Realization Probability of "magic energy increase" was much higher than that of "magic energy breakthrough" was that the wish of "magic energy increase" did not limit the amount of magic energy increase.

And the little magister's magic energy growth in the student days had not yet reached the limit, so it was easy to succeed.

Seeing this, Dark had some idea of ​​the scope of the Holy Grail's wish.

He then continued to read through the list.

Material wishes were easier to satisfy, and Realization Probability was relatively fixed.

The Realization Probability of Candy House was even above 80%.

Emmm…

It meant that there was enough wishing data to produce these statistics.

In short, the more common an item was, the easier for the wish to realize.

And the rarer the item, the harder it was for the wish to realize.

The odds of trying to get Legendary Items from the Holy Grail were almost zero…

Wait, not zero?

Dark glanced sharply at the section labeled "Legendary Items."

The [Realization Probability] behind that section was very clearly written as 0.01%!

1 in 10,000 chances!

Over 10,000 people had made a wish on Legendary Items.

And one wish came true!

Dark couldn't help but look up at Principal Arte, feeling speechless.

I thought He who covets everything will get nothing.

...

Principal Arte roughly guessed what Dark was thinking just by looking at his expression. She couldn't help but chuckle: "You know, only those who have nothing are more likely to become greedy."

Can that sentence even be explained in reverse?

Do you think my reading comprehension was taught by a physical education teacher?

Dark's eyes widened, and all speculations he had about the Holy Grail were instantly overturned.

The only three sacred artifacts in the world were perhaps even more terrifying than he imagined!

This sentence of Principal Arte was almost a clear indication that he could be as greedy as he liked!

Even if it failed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Those wishes with high Realization Probability were basically things that could be easily obtained even without the help of the Holy Grail.

So since it could be obtained easily, then why make a wish?

The chances like using the holy grail to make a wish were hard to come by. Therefore, of course, people would make a wish for something that was difficult to obtain!

No wonder so many people wished for Legendary Items!

...

At that moment, Dark couldn't help but want to directly make a wish to remove the bloodline of the demon god!

Even if the probability was less than 1 in 10,000,000, he would still like to try it.

But he eventually held back.

It was a rare opportunity, after all, he didn't want to waste on something he knew that it wouldn't succeed.

Besides, even if the wish really did come true, he would have no more [Deadly Sin] points to use.

In the end, Dark decided to make a relatively reasonable wish.

...

After a cup of tea, Dark put down the wish list. He already had the answer in his heart.

...

Principal Arte asked: "So? Do you want to make a wish tonight, or do you want to think about it carefully for a while?"

Dark said directly: "No need to think about it anymore. I've made up my mind."

Principal Arte nodded: "Then follow me."

She got up from her seat and walked to the room behind her.

Originally, Dark thought it would be a secret room, but he didn't expect it to be a lounge with all kinds of equipment.

Principal Arte closed the door, then walked over to an empty wall and raised the golden key in her hand.

Then she explained: "This is a door key. As long as it is inserted on a sufficiently smooth surface, it can open a door to a fixed location."

As she was talking, she inserted the key into the wall. Immediately, the contact point between the key and the wall suddenly rippled like water.

The ripples spread quickly, and it actually turned into a door!

"Click." Principal Arte turned the key, unlocked the door, and pushed it gently.

An empty secret room with only the Holy Grail came into view.

Saint Marian's Holy Grail was made of pure gold.

In the eyes of ancient mages, gold was metal with magic energy, and it was often used in the production of precious magic items.

The Holy Grail of Saint Marian, also known as the "Wish Cup", was said to be the creation of the gods.

Principal Arte stepped into the secret room, and Dark followed closely.

He carefully observed the shape of the Holy Grail, and finally found a line of inscriptions written in ancient script on the base.

He who covets everything will get nothing

He who covets nothing will also get nothing.

……

As if sensing that someone was approaching, a strange light was released from the Holy Grail.

Principal Arte raised her hand slightly, signaling Dark to stop.

Only about two meters away, the aura of the Holy Grail was clearly discernible.

Principal Arte also stopped moving forward and took out a wand from her sleeve.

The wand with just the size of a finger was stretched to arm's length by her pulling the wand head gently.

She raised her wand and lightly tapped the Holy Grail. Immediately, there were light spots slowly gathering in the Holy Grail.

"When the Wishing Force in the cup is full, you can make a wish, and the Holy Grail will answer your wish."

...

The Wishing Force in the Holy Grail was rippling like wine. Its deep color resembled the starry night sky, with stars flickering.

The wine gradually filled up, as if inviting people to drink together.

Dark couldn't help but want to walk closer, but he was lightly tapped by Principal Arte and immediately woke up.

He couldn't help but be frightened!

"The Holy Grail will attract greedy people, but human beings themselves are an aggregate of greed, and there is no one in this world that is not greedy."

With Principal Arte's words in mind, Dark closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart.

The wish for knowledge was more stringent, and the probability of obtaining new knowledge that had not been recorded was not much less than the low probability of obtaining Legendary Items.
