According to Orianna, she originally wanted Latis to join the "Mage Faction," which is the same "Teacup Faction" she mentioned in her last conversation with Ateliers. This faction does not rely entirely on the goddess, is independent of the capital, and fights solely for the rights of the mage community.
Originally, such an invitation was not expected to come so soon; it was expected to wait until Latis advanced to a higher level. However, when she came to see them this time, Orianna suddenly discovered that Latis possessed a magical domain, so she brought forward the plan.
This domain is the goddess priesthood ability that Latis obtained from the simulation. In reality, this ability completely broke away from the goddess's control, thus giving him the ability to manipulate the magic elements around his body. Furthermore, under his equally unregulated cyber police authority, he can seamlessly connect to the magic network, ultimately forming what Latis calls his "personal magic network."
Orianna naturally didn't know any of this, but she had lived a long time and seen everything, so she had this kind of knowledge.
According to her, this realm can also be seen in some legendary mages. When their strength reaches a certain level, they will naturally have the power to influence magic elements. However, only the Goddess of Magic can completely control magic elements.
She guessed that the strength of this control was also related to the affinity with magic elements. Magic elements were related to the essence of the world, and no one knew what kind of power the strongest affinity with magic elements would bring.
Legend has it that Queen Whiteley symbolizes the favor of magic, perhaps because her magical affinity is so high that it is unimaginable to ordinary people. However, Orianna once observed the queen from afar but did not sense how high her magical affinity was.
Latis recalled the presence of a queen and a mysterious woman with breasts of the same size in the simulation. His intuition told him that the woman was the queen, but he had no proof. Therefore, he couldn't help but speculate: Could there be two queens? Was the one who could detect the traces of time-space flow the real queen, while the queen before the public was a double?
He didn't tell Oriana this absurd conjecture, but continued to listen to her explanation.
Orianna named this domain "Mage Domain." She did not reveal how powerful her domain was, but after checking Latis's affinity for magic, she was somewhat puzzled, because Latis's affinity was not as high as hers, yet his domain could almost completely control magic.
Of course, it's even stranger to have this ability before reaching the Legendary level. After pondering for a long time, Orianna stopped dwelling on the question and directly expressed her expectations for Latis: after reaching the Legendary level, use his abilities to study the essence of the magic network and create an unowned magic network to replace the existing one.
Latis was somewhat shocked, but after considering it, he agreed and promised Orianna that he would give it a try.
……
"I have to say, I have a feeling that every force on this land is preparing to do something big... except for Andora and Yanium."
Latis and Ateliers walked slowly towards the Association's internal teleportation array, whispering:
"From this perspective, separating me from others might indeed be a good choice."
"However, according to Lady Oriana's plan, my brother's identity as a student will have to disappear, won't it?" Ateliers winked and teased.
"By then, Big Brother will become a mid-level social mage who hasn't graduated and won't be able to get his diploma."
"...Don't make it sound like I dropped out of vocational school!"
Latis couldn't help but pinch the half-elf's cheek and complained:
"And it's just a matter of reducing my presence a little. I'm still in one of the three schools, but I'm no longer taking those professional courses to get good grades."
"Hmph." Artemis raised her chin and said, "In any case, from now on, my elder brother will be my apprentice whom I keep hidden away."
"Where did you learn all these weird words!" Latis sighed, then thought for a moment, a mischievous smile creeping across his face. He leaned close to the half-elf's ear and whispered:
"However, some people have already called me 'teacher' in a cutesy way, you know?"
Ateliers' ears twitched, and a blush immediately crept across her face. She took a deep breath, subtly pinched Latis's waist, and then calmly said:
"Teacher, you still have a lot to teach me. You can't rest after you go back."
Now it was Latis's turn to feel hot and bothered, scratching his head. He touched his head, about to say something, when he saw the receptionist, April, appear beside the teleportation array. With an excited expression that made her almost faint, she said:
"You two, I've come to take you to collect your reward."
……
"So, in the end, do you choose to split the two sixth-level solidification spells that are the reward for the quest into six lower-level solidification spells?"
Amber looked uncertainly at the "Automatic Calculation Magic Page" in her hand and said:
"The total is 'Vibrant Aura' for healing, 'Magic Aura' for mana restoration, 'Attack Circle' for enhanced attack, 'Defense Circle' for increased defense, 'Eagle Eye' for expanded vision, and 'Hyperbole' for blurred form. Are you sure? This doesn't seem very conducive to a hit-and-run strategy."
Artemis looked at Latis with trust, then nodded in confirmation.
She already knew that the spell "Orianna's Mobile Turret" projected the mage tower to the current location and activated the solidified spell inside the mage tower. For ordinary mages, the mage tower projection was indeed useless after casting this spell.
The biggest limitation of mages who rely on the magic network is their spell slots. It's pointless for them to stay in one place during battle; the best approach is to fight while simultaneously delaying cooldowns.
Artemis, on the other hand, can transform into a real turret with the help of the mage tower, giving the enemy a little Gatling shock.
"Alright, the renovation project was prepared some time ago and should be completed in about half a day. If you can free up the mage tower this afternoon, we can start the renovation project today."
Amber cast a questioning glance at Ateliers, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she nodded slightly, pressed the magic page in her hand to confirm, then turned the page and said:
"And next... wait, Lady Oriana gave you a reward for bringing in apprentices... isn't this a mistake?"
“No mistake.” Latis chuckled, hooking his arm around Ate’s shoulder. “My… mentor! He’s just kind-hearted. While on a mission, he also helped bring in apprentices from a region. By the way, they should all be settled by now, right? Your Mage Guild is supposed to take care of the apprentices, isn’t it?”
"Yes, yes." Amber nodded quickly, glancing at the record on the magic page, and said:
"Last night, the association recorded that it had received a total of thirty extradited apprentices. Twenty-five of them have begun preparing for the Qing Teng Academy's assessment, and five are preparing to participate in the Bo Gu Academy's assessment. We will continue to follow up."
"That's good." Latis stroked his chin, looked at the half-elf with a relieved expression, and smiled:
"I never expected my Art to take on social responsibility so quickly. It has given me a lot of pride and ambition."
Artemis playfully patted Latis's hand and whispered, "It's all thanks to you, teacher, for teaching me so well..."
"What the heck! Is this something someone my age should be watching?!"
April felt a warm sensation welling up in her nose, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose, coughed lightly, and said:
"In short, you can choose between equipping teleportation arrays and expanding space, or you can modify the mage tower again. However, we do not recommend that you modify it again before you have fully adapted to the new mage tower environment."
“Let’s expand the space,” Latis said after thinking for a moment. “There’s nowhere we can use the teleportation array right now.”
"Okay, let me see..."
After some manipulation, Aibo started the "Automatic Calculation Magic Page" function.
"Lady Orianna's allocation is... five regions, and the expansion multiplier is... ten times???"
She was taken aback, quickly calculated the area of the Herod Mage's territory in her mind, and then exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide:
"Ten times! Lady Oriana must be mistaken! That would consume an entire day's revenue for the association!"
"..."
Latis was just about to soften his stance and reduce the association's burden when he heard this, and his heart hardened even more than Brother Niu's. He suddenly remembered the association's infamous reputation as the "Mage's Misfortune House," and sneered, saying:
"This is it. Let's go back and discuss the plan!"
Chapter 301 Don't you want the regular season points?
"came back……"
As Silver Hugh stepped out of the Golden Hall of Lundia, the autumn sun shone on him, and drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed him.
She yawned and carried the heavy bag toward the outer city of Lundia.
Today, Ms. Yin simply wore a brown long dress and a half-length thick knit shawl with some tassels swaying at the end, which accentuated her slender waist.
She wore a hat with a hazy veil on her head, and her long braids had been untied, turning into a clump of fluffy hair, tied only with a red knot at the end, swaying from side to side with her steps.
She had been wearing heavy aristocratic attire for far too long in the past few days, and the examiners who took turns to assess her hadn't given her a single moment to change. So, after changing into the long dress, she felt a long-lost sense of relief.
"Perhaps skirts suit me better... Soft clothing like this is really perfect for relaxing in my free time..."
Silver Xiu stretched slightly. She looked very different from usual, and the veil of her hat slightly obscured her face, so she wasn't worried about being recognized.
Although gradually getting used to wearing skirts seemed to have added a touch of feminine shyness to her heart, fortunately, she only dressed like this in front of a few people like Latis, so it was not too bad.
Anyway, let's go check with Mage Herod first to see if Little Ra has finished her annual quests.
She silently recited these words to herself, recalling her experiences over the past few days, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
Although the debate with the noble examiners was not based on Latis's personal qualities at all, but rather on various aspects under their provocations, from the noble class to the common people's upward mobility, from the political center status of the capital to local autonomy, Silver Xiuer still gave perfect answers to each one.
However, after the examiners admitted defeat and terminated the defense, Silver Hur discovered an unopened file on Latis in the defense hall. Clearly, those inexplicable nobles had never truly examined the genius mage she had recommended. Perhaps even now, the nobles didn't know who Latis on the list really was.
Silver Hur put away Latis's information, increasingly feeling that this was all a farce. Fortunately, Latis had already entered the list of candidates for the new nobles, and she firmly believed that her student could bring about tremendous changes to the entire Kingdom of Norard.
In short...
"Huh?! Gin-sensei! Gin-sensei, you look so cute today!"
A noisy voice suddenly came from behind. Silver Shul was startled and quickly turned around to look at the person. With a flick of his finger, a "Mage's Black Hand" instantly flew out.
"Silver... Ugh! Waaah!"
Ye Ye, who had been physically silenced by a deep throat from a large, dark hand, immediately covered her mouth and choked up with tears. She knelt down with a thud, a pitiful expression on her face, and raised her hands in a pleading manner.
“…So it was you.” Yin Xiuer sighed, walked closer to Ye Ye, patted her head, and said:
"Don't reveal my identity, understand? If you understand, I'll release you."
He nodded repeatedly each night, clasping his hands together in supplication.
"Fine……"
Yin Xiuer shook her head, lightly waved her right hand to dispel the spell, and looked at Ye Ye, who looked like she had just escaped death, she rubbed her wrist embarrassedly and looked at her palm.
"I don't know why, but bullying people seems kind of fun, and Little La's magic seems pretty useful too..."
She quickly regained her composure, coughed lightly, cleared her mind of the jumbled thoughts, bent down to help the unfortunate young artist to his feet, and asked:
"Ye Ye, what are you doing at the entrance of Mage Herod's territory?"
"Gin... Sister Gin." Yaya instinctively reached for the title "Teacher Gin," but seeing the chilling glint in Gin's eyes, she immediately changed her mind, chuckled dryly, and said:
"Well, I was asked by a friend to take a portrait of Gouzi Ge... uh, Latis, so I came to see if he was home..."
"Portrait sketching?" Silver shrugged, recalling her previous experience of being drugged by these children for sketching. She couldn't help but ask sternly:
"Have you finished the homework I assigned you? What was your overall score on this week's quiz? Are you ready to study for the exam season? You want me to draw a portrait again? What mischief are you up to now?"
"I, I..." Ye Ye was repeatedly defeated by the relentless torture. Her face was pale, and she covered her head in pain, saying:
"Not finished, 0.91 points, not prepared..."
"So you still have time to paint?" Yin Xiu smiled, looking at Ye Ye whose head was almost touching the ground, and said:
"You don't want the regular allowance anymore?"
"Old Master Yin... Sister Yin! You can't do this!" Ye Ye cried, grabbing Yin Xiu'er's arm and shaking it.
"I swear this is truly a serious matter! It's a sacrifice for the God of Light!"
"Sacrifice?" Silvershur paused, then asked in confusion, "What does painting a portrait have to do with sacrifice?"
"This... is a bit hard to explain, but Sister Yin, you have to believe me!" Ye Ye raised her hands and said solemnly, "If I'm lying, then punish me by filling my head with pictures of erotic music and turning me into an erotic music fanatic!"
"..."
A surge of urge to complain welled up within Silver Shrew; for a moment, she couldn't tell if this was truly a punishment. She sighed, looking at the mage's entrance that was now almost within reach, and said:
