"Ah."
Cindy nodded noncommittally, the last fragment of memory flashing through her mind. After a moment's hesitation, she said uncertainly:
"Twenty centimeters...?"
"Hmm... Ah?" Queen Whiteley nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized what she meant and immediately expressed her confusion, looking up at Cindy.
"No, otherwise you can see for yourself next time."
Cindy covered her mouth and coughed lightly, subtly averting her gaze. Suddenly, she noticed her hands, and as if remembering something, she twirled her fingers and whispered:
"It tastes pretty good?"
"...?"
Queen Whiteley was silent for a moment, staring at Cindria for a long time, then stood up, her young face becoming serious, and said with an air of authority:
"It's alright, I've always lacked a male slave."
Chapter 330 held back a trick
"it's over……"
Latis breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ateliers beside him.
He originally thought this simulation would be quite depressing and difficult, since he would have to travel between several factions and might even have to become someone else's underling to gather intelligence. Unexpectedly, he was given a perfect start by the reckless Serfal and the Titan Palace he encountered on the way.
This silly dragon went and stole a whole pool of dragon crystals from his own ancestors—who would believe it…
I have to say, after the simulated Serfal was cured of his mental disability, it was like his genetic potential was unlocked. It was terrifying!
It's not a matter of whether she's smart or not, but rather that... very special, magical superposition state... when observed from different perspectives, it randomly collapses into either a smart or not-so-smart result.
Is this a dragon? It's terrifying... Heh, luckily I'm a dragon knight, otherwise I really wouldn't have the confidence to control this guy.
Latis couldn't help but smile at this thought. In short, knowing that Serfa's personality wouldn't drastically change into some unfamiliar form after the surgery to cure his mental disability, and that he would still look as cheerful as ever, put his mind at ease.
However, after focusing on his career, the girls appeared in the simulation much less often. This time, there were no indescribable scenes in the simulation, which made Latis quite gratified. Although he might feel a little lonely in the simulation, it also showed his iron will when doing great things. It seems that he is indeed a serious bully at heart!
And it was precisely because of this that she didn't remain entangled with Ate, and Ate never experienced those moments of life and death again...
Latis was just about to have a good tiff with the half-elf when he found her glaring at him angrily.
"W-what's wrong?" he asked, scratching his head instinctively.
"The memories that follow are all so blurry!"
Artemis reached out and pinched Latis's cheek hard, saying with slight annoyance:
"Since it's a 'simulation,' then make good use of my power! Whether it's fighting alongside you or offering up my life energy for you, I'm willing to do it all!"
"Ah, uh, this..."
Latis was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer Ateliers. He could fully imagine that he in the simulation would never want to "exploit" the half-elf in that way, but seeing Ateliers' unhappy expression, he was a little confused.
“Probably…” He squeezed the half-elf’s hand and carefully told the truth, “Probably because I felt that even if it was a simulation, I didn’t want to trouble you too much. After all, no matter what, you standing in front of me are the most precious things to me at any time.”
"...Big brother is really stupid."
The half-elf stared at Latis's face, then couldn't help but raise his hand and thump his forehead twice before lowering his head, sighing, and saying:
"I already know it's a simulation, so why would I care about these things? You just need to consider the method that will help you the most!"
"You rascal, you definitely won't be as nonchalant as you say when the time comes!"
Latis shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that no matter when Ateliers was, she would always regard the person in front of her as the only true one. Even if he told her that she was a simulation, it would not affect her seriousness towards him, not even in the slightest.
In other words, if he wanted to use her in the future, he might only need to say "this is a simulation," and she might resolutely give her life for him.
Then again, even if we didn't say anything, Ate would probably still do it anyway...
He looked up at Artemis, who was waiting for a reply, and a profound sense of responsibility, as if her life had been entrusted to her, welled up inside him. He couldn't help but sigh, patted her head, and said:
"I see."
……
……
After returning to his room, Latis selected items and memories in the reward settlement.
The items include a large pile of dragon crystals that Thefal stole from the dragon's lair. If you don't choose it, it would be a waste of the silly dragon's hard work.
Memory is the most important thing in this simulation. Since I started this simulation to understand the situation in the Kingdom of Norrad, it is definitely a must-have.
As for skills, they are not so urgent now. With a personal magic network, one is already invincible in battles against mages. And when the power of the bloodline warrior is unleashed, one will be fearless even when facing a group of burly men.
It's nothing more than a locker room battle. When it comes to philosophy, the founder of Niu Ge's philosophical thinking, La Mou, has never been afraid of anyone.

"...?"
Latis's mind was instantly flooded with countless images of his interactions with different forces, and his soul space was also crammed with many things in an instant. However, he did not check them immediately. Instead, he stared wide-eyed at the prompts on the simulator.
"No? I can accept taking the three books from Silly Dragon, but what's Black Hat Coin? And what are Cindy and Queen Whiteley's hands?? I can keep those secret too?"
He felt his head twitching. At this point in time, even if the Black Hat organization had already started mining Bitcoin... no, Black Hat Coin, even if they had started creating Black Hat Coin, their total reserves might not even be in the hundreds, right? This simulator exchanged all the Black Hat Coins that Serfa had transferred to him in one go. What was it going to do? Buy the Black Hat organization?
What are those two hands?! Although you did manage to grab the two queens' hands at the end of the simulation to prevent them from running away, there's no need to save those things!
Latis couldn't help but frown as he sensed the pale hand floating in his soul space, and for a moment he couldn't accept it.
Although there were no signs of damage, he wasn't Boraki Kage, so what use was this thing to him?
He took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the urge to complain, and looked at the item information displayed on the simulator interface.
[Dragon Crystal: The original dragon crystal from the Dragon Nest, closely related to the formation of dragon bloodlines. It hides a trace of the root power of the Dragon Valley demiplane. Excessive use can accumulate a certain amount of dragon bloodline. Occasionally, it is used by male dragons who have over-spermed to replenish their kidneys.]
[The dowry from Hines City: pots and pans, grains, chicken, duck, fish, and meat—enough to sustain ten warriors for two years. Hines people, you've got it!]
[The "Jennifer x Latis" doujinshi: A perfect work born from Jennifer's repeated rejections and revisions, embodying the hard work and dedication of a certain anonymous Ms. Yaya. Main content includes: dress-up, spanking, wedding dress, ejaculation, and over a dozen other stories.]
[The Earl of Norard's sash bears the inscription "Earl of Titania" and "God Bless Queen Whiteley."]
[Starlight: It can gather starlight at night to prolong plant growth, increasing growth rate by approximately 10%. It also serves as a reference landmark for the Black Hat organization member, Ms. Broker, when assisting with spatial teleportation spells.]
[Project (1): The first volume of the Black Hat organization's strategic plan, which can be decompressed together with any subsequent volume.]
[Black Hat Coin: A digital currency created using specialized magic element condensation tools and unique magic network transmission techniques. The production of one Black Hat Coin consumes approximately 25% of a high-level mage's total magic power, making its production extremely expensive. Without a mature processing method, it is highly susceptible to being eroded by the magic network.]
[Black Hat Allies Badge: After a long period of design by the Count of Titania, the badge with the design has finally been finalized. It looks a bit like a walking bull wearing a top hat on a bull's head, which, in the eyes of onlookers, has a kind of spiritual pollution comparable to that of an Old God.]
[Cindriya's Hand: A hand imbued with strange power, seemingly capable of being completely broken down into a collection of some kind of magical element, which can be used as additional material when inscribing magical runes into the soul.]
[Queen Whiteley's Hand: A hand imbued with strange power, possessing physical strength comparable to a high-ranking legend. It seems capable of serving as a recipient of magical essence, and could be used as additional material when inscribing magical runes into the soul.]
The item information was displayed before Latis, who carefully browsed through it before falling into deep thought.
Dragon crystals and dowry items can be considered daily consumables, the Earl's sash is a souvenir, and the star-fixing lamp seems to attract female brokers, so it cannot be taken out for the time being.
The plan (1) and Black Hat Coin may have unexpected uses after they come into contact with the upper and middle levels of the Black Hat organization. The patterns of the Allies' Badges and other designs are too ridiculous. He doesn't want to admit that he designed them.
"We should ask Art or Princess Slinger to design it. Art's aesthetic sense has always been excellent, and Princess Slinger has seen so many royal crests, she should also know a lot about design... Damn it, just don't make it look like that hat-wearing cowboy!"
Latis couldn't help but slap his face and let out a long sigh.
It was just a simulated souvenir, yet it broke his defenses so badly. What are you doing, simulated Ra?
As for the notebook...
He resisted the urge to take out his notebook and look at the description of the two hands.
"What do you mean by a collection of magic elements and a receptor that receives them... Simulator, you've become so unfamiliar, and your words are suddenly so cold..."
Latis muttered a complaint, then frowned slightly as he looked at the common phrase at the end of both descriptions: "extra materials for inscribing runes with the soul."
He certainly knew what it meant to inscribe magic runes into one's soul. It had been mentioned in the simulation that the guild mages ultimately found the path of internalizing magic into their own bodies and tempering their bodies with magic essence to become magic warriors.
This is the ancient and difficult path of inscribing magic runes into the soul without the medium of magic books or magic networks.
However, this didn't bother Latis. Although he was ostensibly a grimoire scribe like Arte, his grimoire was actually linked to his soul through the simulator. The spells in his grimoire would also appear in his soul.
He hadn't thought much of it before, but now, it seemed to be an extremely powerful ability. The difficulty of inscribing magic runes in the soul was incomparable to inscribing them in a magic book, yet he had already laid the foundation to become a magic warrior long ago...
Returning to the two hands he brought out from the simulation, the description still puzzled him. Modifying the spell runes on his soul wasn't difficult for him, but what exactly was the purpose of these two hands?
"Forget it, just try it and you'll know."
Latis shook his head, casting aside the hesitation in his mind, and took out two hands from his soul space.
Snapped.
Two almost perfectly symmetrical hands appeared on Latis's table. He frowned as he examined the exquisite, slender hands, which looked like a collector's item. After thinking for a moment, he put on gloves and picked them up to check them.
Cindy's hand felt somewhat ethereal to the touch. Latis couldn't quite tell whether it was because it was too soft or something else. Looking at the magical mist swirling around it, he raised an eyebrow in surprise and released his personal magic net to fix the surrounding magical energy.
While Queen Whiteley's hands look almost identical, they feel remarkably strong. Even though her fair skin, delicate knuckles, and rosy nails reveal that Queen Whiteley is not old, such strength truly far exceeds the limits that people can imagine.
"So Cindy is probably the 'Queen Whiteley,' the one rumored to be favored by magic."
Latis revealed a hint of understanding and pondered:
"In the previous simulation, it was indeed mentioned that although Queen Whiteley was surrounded by active magic, it was not as exaggerated as the legends said. It turns out that the favor of magic belongs to someone else."
“So it seems…” He took off his gloves and stroked his chin, “Queen Whiteley is actually focused on physical strength? But that makes sense, doesn’t it? Mages are physically fragile, and if Queen Whiteley were also physically fragile, wouldn’t that be extremely dangerous…”
"So she nominally proclaimed her supreme magical talent to the world, so that when others thought of her, they would inevitably form a preconceived image of a mage, but they would never have imagined that Queen Whiteley was actually a legendary warrior..."
Latis couldn't help but shake his head, somewhat speechless, and muttered:
"The Twin Queens are strong, but aren't they a bit too cunning? You're a queen, is it really necessary to act like this?...Speaking of which, was the bra I got earlier Cindy's or Queen Whiteley's..."
He coughed lightly, dismissing the absurd question, and looked at the two hands on the table.
If he wanted to modify the magic runes in his soul, he would have to choose a suitable spell. His senses swept over a large number of spells he possessed, and suddenly, they stopped on a trivial trick.
"I don't know why... but it feels like it suits me quite well."
Latis summoned the "Hand of the Mage" rune, scratched his head, and muttered to himself.
