"You are the smartest little elf!"
"My brother is definitely just trying to comfort me!"
Artemis thought to herself, feeling quite resentful, but then she succumbed to the warmth of the embrace.
"Well, I'm glad you're alright..."
……
Latis changed into the black robes that half-elfs used for changing clothes.
"It feels a little strange not having a milk window anymore..."
Thinking of this, he quickly spat twice, and then instantly unleashed Lash's strength, pushing the alchemy hut out of the sunken hole under the watchful eyes of the three girls.
The half-elf drove away the plant guardians who were helping to maintain balance, and looked at Latis, whose clothes were bulging, and pursed his lips in resentment.
Yashutia sat on a rock, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the dilapidated alchemy hut.
"Miss Kurosawa, are you in a bad mood?"
The half-elf silently retreated to Yashutia's side and asked in a low voice.
"It's not that I'm in a bad mood..."
Yashutia watched as Latis tossed the broken hairy legs out of the pit, then rested her chin on her knees.
Her gaze followed the movement of the hairy legs, finally settling on the pile of hairy legs with a sigh.
"Actually, I should have moved on from those things a long time ago..."
Yashutia glanced at the half-elf beside her who was gracefully staring at Latis, and couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Someone like you, a young master from a wealthy family, probably wouldn't understand how hard life is for us homeless children, would you?"
Artemis looked down at Yashutia's black, curly hair and raised an eyebrow.
“I was always bullied when I was a kid… Of course, it doesn’t seem like a big deal now. After all, Janium is different from Norard. The states there are a mixed bag, and the people aren’t exactly kind.”
Yashutia fiddled with her goggles and continued:
"As for me, although I am extremely talented, I didn't have much power when I was young. I don't know why I offended a group of bastards back then. They would stop me on the street and verbally humiliate me for no reason. Sometimes they would even steal the food I asked for. Well, luckily I couldn't understand them back then... although I still don't quite understand them now."
She watched as Latis dug a hole and buried the hairy-legged creatures like a diligent old farmer, couldn't help but stand up for a glance, then sat down with a sense of relief, and said to the silent half-elf:
"Hey, are you even listening? I'm about to get to the most exciting part!"
The half-elf smiled and gently stroked Yashutia's head.
"How dare you!" Yashutia stammered, shaking her head, but she didn't shake off the half-elf's hand. She sighed helplessly, subconsciously leaning against the half-elf's leg, and said:
"The path of a genius is always so bumpy. Anyway, when I got a little older, I wanted to leave that city to find the magic that truly interested me, but I never expected that those bastards would discover that I was leaving the city. So that night, they blocked my way in the suburbs..."
Yashutia lowered her head and rested her head on her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly.
The half-elf frowned and sighed, then stroked Yashutia's fur.
"Wa ...
"It's a pity I didn't know the Shadow Recall Technique back then, otherwise I really wanted to show you how I took down five people with three strikes! Tsk, thinking about it now, I should have become a swordsman! It's a pity the swordsmanship tradition has been broken..."
She shook her head and continued:
"I won't go into details about what a genius is. In short, I was blinded by rage and stormed into their lair, leaving no survivors... Ah, after avenging myself, I was also wanted by Janium. I had no choice but to drive my self-built hut and stumble my way to Lundia..."
The troubled look in Yashutia's eyes suddenly vanished, and she laughed heartily, saying:
"Anyway, let bygones be bygones... Big brother!"
Latis paused, scratched his head, and turned around.
"Throw away what's in the hut!" Yashutia shouted, gesturing. "Those arms too! I don't need them anymore!"
What did she say?
Latis scratched his ear, thinking in confusion.
"What do you mean, 'stupid arm'? What do you mean, 'lost'? Is she insulting me?"
"You dare to insult me? I'll throw your bed away!" Latis sneered.
……
"You're from Shuangxia Territory? That's so far..."
After speaking with the last imprisoned poor man, the robin closed his notebook and sighed in distress.
"Hey, little bird, how's it going over there?"
Latis swayed over, clutching the back of his head.
"I don't know how to help them get home..." The robin hesitated, fidgeting with his little cloak, then shook his head and asked:
"Brother, what brings you here? How's everything at the cabin?"
Latis chuckled awkwardly twice and said:
"When I was taking apart the bed, I accidentally tore down the wall... Arte kicked me out and said she would fix it herself..."
"Big brother is as careless as ever..."
The robin thought helplessly, handing the notebook to Latis and asking:
"Brother, do you have any good ideas? We can't just sit idly by and do nothing, can we?"
“Of course.” Latis quickly scanned the notes, handed them back to the robin, and smiled mysteriously:
"The solution will come on its own soon."
"Huh?" The robin looked at Latis in confusion, but received no answer. She sighed, then suddenly seemed to remember something, quickly pulled a strangely shaped device from her pocket, and said:
"I found this while cleaning up the battlefield. It seems to have been carried by the squad leader, but I don't know what it's for."
Latis exclaimed "Huh?" and took the device.
[Black Hat Organization's Dedicated One-Way Communication Device: Created by an unknown craftsman, this device operates via a magical network using some form of encryption. It allows only one-way dialing from the host computer and automatically absorbs magical energy for power.]
"So it's National Taiwan Mobile..."
Latis muttered to himself, and was about to put down the communicator when it suddenly vibrated.
"Ah!" the robin exclaimed, her hair standing on end. She clutched Latis's clothes and said:
"Big brother, is it going to explode?!"
"Probably not, it's not Samsung..." Latis muttered to himself, examining the vibrating mobile phone, inwardly groaning.
"As someone with social anxiety, answering the phone is really difficult..."
He calmed himself down, put on a serious face, and answered the phone.
"Hello, this is Latis Superman, the future national husband of Atlantis, a double graduate of Qing Teng Academy and Queen Academy, and the legendary Master Malou. May I ask where this is?"
"..."
The person on the other end was clearly bewildered by this long, clear yet abstract string of words. After a minute of silence, they finally spoke:
"Haggs is dead?"
“Oh, my dear old friend,” Latis said immediately, his voice full of emotion, seeing an opportunity for communication.
"If you are referring to this thin gentleman who is 1.72 meters tall, weighs 46 kilograms, has a 7-centimeter-long leg, triangular eyes, and a flat nose, then I regret to inform you that his soul has departed for the Sea of Darkness. Please accept my condolences... But do not grieve, do not be anxious, the days of sorrow will eventually pass..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" came the sound of someone scratching their head furiously from the other end. The person took a few deep breaths and said:
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. You can keep this communicator; I'll contact you again another day."
Nourishes...
Latis looked at the disconnected communicator and solemnly stuffed it into his bag.
"Hiss... Although that person didn't say much, they revealed some important information that we need to pay close attention to."
"First, he knows about the Black Hat team, and the item description indicates that his device is a so-called mainframe, meaning he should be able to contact multiple communication devices? That means he must be a high-ranking member of the Black Hat organization, or perhaps a client making the deal..."
"Secondly, he doesn't care about the Black Hat Squad's deaths. Of course, this doesn't mean he doesn't care whether their mission was successful. On the contrary, calling at this time is likely to confirm the mission's progress... So why doesn't he mind that I have this communicator?"
"First, he probably already believed the mission would fail; second, this Black Hat squad was of little value to him; third, what he needed to do wasn't something only the Black Hat squad could do, and I, having wiped out the Black Hat squad, also had value to him; fourth, he wasn't worried about his identity being discovered, nor was he worried that I would deduce his purpose from our conversation; fifth..."
Latis shook his head, deciding to wait until the next call to gather more information. He didn't intend to discard the communicator because, despite numerous simulations, he still hadn't figured out what kind of conspiracy the Black Hat organization was hiding, and he had to find out.
"In short, I must stop all regrets before they happen..."
Latis exhaled, looked at the shimmering figure flying rapidly towards him within his sight, and laughed heartily.
"After all, even the feelings I experienced in the simulation, I, La, want to cherish them all!"
Chapter 91 This is a children's channel
Slinger landed lightly, pinched the slightly upturned hem of her skirt and gave a graceful bow, then elegantly placed her hands together in front of her.
[Third Ring Spell - Flight]
[Cyber Police Officer - Morning Blossom (Slinger Whiteley) #Online]
Latis glanced at the personal information, which was identical to that in the simulation, patted the robin's head, laughed, and said:
"Here comes the solution, little bird. Go to Arte's side first. I'll talk to this princess."
The robin glanced at Slinger suspiciously, a sense of impending doom making her hair stand on end. She gave a soft hum and turned to leave.
“It seems you recognize me.” Slinger was slightly startled and couldn’t help but clench his hands, which were placed in front of his abdomen.
“No need to be nervous, Princess Slingk.” Latis shook her head and performed a magic trick to reveal her identity.
Slinger looked at the prompt and couldn't help but ask:
"I'm selling groin in Atlantis?"
Latis was silent for a moment, then forced a dry laugh and said:
"About those black-hatted sorcerers..."
"That's a rather interesting name," Slinger muttered to himself.
"The process was roughly like this: I fell into their trap..."
