Chapter 309 The Secret Between the Two

"Descendants of the ancient sorcerers, wake up..."

"I call upon you here—"

"Chaos people, wake up..."

"Traces of necromancy have reappeared on the magic network. Does this indicate that the goddess's authority is beginning to weaken?"

“One of you must set off immediately, traversing the entire continent of Atlantis, to the emerging kingdom of Norard in the west, to find the chosen one who can bypass the authority of the goddess.”

“Project the power of the sorcerer god onto him, invite him back, make him the divine son of the sorcerer god society, and the new emperor of the Chaos people!”

"go Go……"

……

……

"Come on, little bird, I'll give you a lesson!"

Silvershur waved to the robin with a very kind smile.

"Ugh!"

The robin, clinging tightly to Latis, sadly clung to Latis's arm, its face showing a struggle. After a long while, it slowly stood up and walked dejectedly toward SilverShuffle.

It wasn't until this moment that the robin realized that if Teacher Silver lived in the Mage's Territory, he would be trapped in an endless abyss of tutoring!

What's even more infuriating is that all the other adults in the family thought it was a good thing. Even Yashutia laughed and gave her a pair of "power-building gloves," which supposedly allow her to write incredibly fast when she puts pen to paper...

This kind of thing, like those "energy-gathering bras" that supposedly increase bust size, is completely useless, right?!

These adults are really wicked!

The robin looked back at Latis with a long face, sighed deeply at his encouraging expression, picked up his schoolbag, and went back to his room with SilverShuffle.

However, she also knew in her heart that after confessing her feelings to Latis, she had been a little too clingy these past few days, as if she had completely changed into a different person, turning from a well-behaved child into a bit of a brat.

But this is something that is somewhat uncontrollable... For her, whether it was her experience in the Kolichu tribe from childhood or her experience of being forced to join the Black Hat organization later, it was a long and repressive period of silence. It wasn't until she came to Latis's side that she gradually developed a desire to express her feelings in those joyful, peaceful and happy days.

This longing was fully revealed after she confessed her feelings.

Fortunately, both Latis and Artemis were willing to sit down and listen to her explanation, so after the initial discomfort, the robin gradually accepted her current self.

In short, until she adjusts to her new relationship with Latis, she'll just have to stay clingy for a while...

Hmm! Tonight, after everyone's asleep, we'll launch a night raid on Latis!

……

"A childhood without homework and tutoring is definitely incomplete," someone couldn't help but recall their middle school days when they had to attend evening self-study sessions until 10 p.m. every day...

Latis looked at the robin's back, bent low by the weight of his studies, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, sighing sincerely.

"Huh?" Ateliers' ears twitched slightly, and she asked curiously, "Big brother, what is evening self-study?"

"Uh, evening self-study is... self-study classes in the evening, which usually last for two or three hours after the end of the day's classes..."

Latis couldn't help but scratch his head; his high school days were so long ago that he couldn't quite recall them for a moment.

"Never mind." He looked at the thoughtful half-elf, took her hand, and stood up. He glanced discreetly at Freyko, who seemed to be using magic to clean the table but was actually eavesdropping curiously, and said in a low voice:

"Let's go back to the room first. I have something important to tell you."

"Is it serious business...?"

Artemis seemed to sense the seriousness in Latis's tone, and was slightly taken aback, beginning to speculate in her mind.

……

hum...

The magic circle vibrated slightly as it operated, then the room fell silent again.

Under the moonlight, the plants inside Artemis's house swayed and respired, the fresh air from the magic circle providing them with oxygen, but also bringing a touch of autumn and winter coolness.

After the space in the mage tower was expanded, each room became much more spacious, and the half-elf's room also expanded from less than 20 square meters to nearly 100 square meters.

However, it was a source of distress for her. A room that was too spacious would look desolate, and if it were filled with plants, it would make her elven bloodline too active, suppressing the abundant emotions of her human bloodline.

So perhaps she'll adjust her living situation again in the future, reducing the size, or maybe she'll just live with Latis, although that might encroach on Latis's private space...

Artemis walked to the window, stroked the rose that had been cultivated to its fourth generation, and sighed softly.

After completing the association's mission, they did indeed reap considerable benefits for the mage territory, but Lady Orianna also used the guise of rewarding apprentices to make investments, thus forcing them into a certain game of chess.

For the half-elf, she didn't want Latis to go out and face those forces independently according to Orianna's plan. Her original plan was to let Latis level up slowly, while she would improve the environment of the mage territory, collect spell materials, and investigate various truths little by little in the process of completing the association missions.

But Latis didn't seem to be opposed to going out and facing the conflict early. On the contrary, the half-elf could vaguely sense Latis's expectations for this from their shared feelings. He seemed to feel that there was some huge obstacle in the future and was actively seeking various ways to overcome it.

Therefore, Ateliers did not reject Orianna's arrangement. She had an almost blind trust in Latis. After Latis made a decision, she no longer questioned it and quickly realized what was happening, starting to think about how to work towards a common goal.

However, she was indeed somewhat confused. Firstly, she didn't know what Latis's current plan was, and secondly, the changes brought about by the mage's transformation were too great. In addition, she had heard about the close feelings that Serfal, Robin, and Silvershur had developed for Latis. She hadn't figured out how to deal with these things for the time being.

It's not that it would pose a threat or anything, it's just that she originally thought that under her guidance, they would become part of the intimate relationship one by one, which seemed to be more gentle, and they wouldn't have to readjust to each other like they do now.

However, Artemis now realizes that when she envisioned that future, she had overlooked the emotional development of these girls themselves. They wouldn't follow a rigid plan one by one; after accumulating energy for a period of time, they would naturally erupt, just like now.

"As expected, my understanding of human emotions is still not deep enough. There's still so much I need to learn..."

The half-elf blinked and began to shift his short-term plans to readjusting with the group and trying to find ways to help Latis in any way he could.

"Arte, come here, come here."

Latis's call brought the half-elf back to her senses. She looked at Latis, who was sitting upright at his desk, and approached him slowly with surprise, asking:

"Big brother, aren't we going to bed together?"

"Oh, my little elf is so well-behaved now?" Latis teased, watching the half-elf sit down in front of him.

"They've turned into an old married couple!"

"An old married couple?!"

Ateliers's ear tips instantly turned red. She couldn't help but fidget, tensing her legs and rubbing her fingers together. Then, she exhaled quickly, nodded with feigned composure, and said:

"Indeed...it really is...! Hmm! I felt safe by my older brother's side, so I asked the question without even realizing it. Could it be that my older brother doesn't like having me around?"

"Hey! You little rascal—"

Latis was caught off guard by the counterattack and was about to tease back when he saw the half-elf blush slightly as he took off his gloves, revealing his fair and soft hands, and made a massage gesture.

“You…” His face flushed red as he recalled his experience of being disarmed by the half-elf the night before, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.

"Ahem." Artemis's lips curled up slightly as she turned her head away.

Seeing the half-elf instinctively clench her trembling fingers, Radiston immediately understood that her attack was nothing more than a Pyrrhic victory.

After realizing this, Latis shook his head, both amused and exasperated. He understood that many times it wasn't because Arte had high attack but low defense, but because she was simply stubbornly launching a self-destructive attack!

"...You bastard, I'll teach you a lesson later!"

Latis squeezed the half-elf's hand helplessly, indicating his surrender.

"Yay! At least we've won now!"

Artemis chuckled, gave a small clenched fist, and raised her head with sparkling eyes. As for the impending punishment...

Believe in the wisdom of future generations!

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

Latis sighed, his expression suddenly turning serious. Meeting the half-elf's deep blue eyes, he said earnestly:

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"I understand." Artemis nodded, suppressing her smile. She activated her magic, causing the magic arrays inscribed throughout the room to isolate her from the outside world. Then she asked, "Big brother, is there something you need to tell me?"

"That's right..."

Latis hesitated for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

Ever since he learned that Arte might be able to sense certain fragments of his simulation, he had been considering whether to give her a general explanation of the simulator.

As a lazy office worker who has been reading novels for decades, Latis naturally knows about things like time travel and systems. At first, he thought that the "Magic University Study" simulator on his body was a system that only he could access. However, after experiencing interference with the simulation process by someone who seemed to be the Queen and witnessing the appearance of time flow, he realized that his initial guess was probably wrong!

The simulator is not a system, but something that conforms to the rules of this other world. Its true form is in the spacetime flow, and through some special link, it becomes its cheat code, helping it to explore the possible outcomes of various world lines in the spacetime flow and to seize the power of the spacetime flow to reward itself.

If that's the case, then he has absolutely no need to keep it a secret from his most trusted confidante, Artemis. On the contrary, after learning that the Queen might also be able to sense the existence of the simulator, he needs Artemis to advise him.

After all, someone like Arte, who can also perceive the simulated fragments, is more likely to have thoughts that are closer to the Queen's. And since Arte is the person she can rely on most in this world, even if she knows these things, she will not bring any danger to her.

Having figured all this out, Latis finally made up his mind, lowered his hand from his chin, and asked:

"Atherifus, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

"Huh? Are you taking this so seriously?"

Being unexpectedly called by her full name startled the half-elf. She sat up straighter, her expression becoming serious, and carefully chose her words:

"Big brother, you're in my heart, hmm..."

She pondered for a moment and then slowly said:

“From the very first time I met you, I felt that you were very different from others, but at that time I didn’t have much hope of surviving. I just wanted to spend the last days of my life with you, my fellow inmate, and to do my best to protect your desire to live…”

"However, you rescued me with such ease and control. At that time, I thought to myself that I would protect you with my own abilities to repay your kindness until you were able to protect yourself, and then I would think about other things."

At this point, she couldn't help but smile.

"I never imagined we'd become 'brothers' so unexpectedly. From then on, I gradually grew accustomed to and understood your various actions and words, and seriously considered how to help you learn magic, my older brother. I also tried to learn many things from you that I had never known before. Everything was new to me, and you were the one who brought me a new life."

Artemis's eyes sparkled. Although the words she was about to utter expressed her deep love, she felt no shyness in such a sincere setting. She wanted to speak more openly and directly than she could, to say the words that were etched into her soul.

"Then I fell in love with you. Although I can no longer tell which encounter or conversation it was during, that love was like a seed planted deep in my heart. Before it even sprouted, it had already grown into a tangled and strong root system... It's just that I was too timid and hesitant. I had to wait for you to speak before I dared to let that shy sprout emerge."

She closed her eyes, gently touched her chest, and solemnly said:

“I saw you save me from the griffin’s attack, and a seed containing fragments of my soul appeared in your hand. I sensed my blessing engraved deep in your consciousness. I don’t know where those things came from, but if there is another me in this world, I believe there won’t be much difference between me and her.”

"The various miraculous things that followed became a natural part of my routine. Even so, I did not consider them a privilege I was entitled to... I am simply fortunate to have you in front of me, and I am willing to give everything I can for that."

“You are my god, Latis. There is no other life worthy of my love and respect, not even the Mother Goddess. My loving human bloodline cannot be diluted from my body.”

"I suspect you are a wandering god who has traversed countless planes, or perhaps you are able to survey countless times and spaces. But please believe me, no matter where you are, the Ateliers you encounter will surely regard you as their only faith in this life, just like I do."
