"okay."
Latis looked at the vast academy that the wide, horizontal road led to, and couldn't help but marvel at its prosperity. He sighed and looked around at the surrounding buildings.
"No. 60 Tianhai Street, Benmao Cafe; No. 59 Tianhai Street, Lateran Magic Equipment Store; No. 58 Tianhai Street, Cosplay Magic Photo Shop; No. 57 Tianhai Street..."
He looked at the antique three-story mansion and murmured in awe:
"What? Jennifer is a rich woman?"
Latis shook his head, and thinking of the more than five thousand gold coins in his soul space, he subconsciously straightened his back.
"I, Latis, am not without some strength!"
Suddenly, he noticed the giant dragon sign across the street and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"No. 61 Tianhai Street, the Lundian Dragon Research Association?"
A heated argument was coming from inside the gate, which was decorated with images of a dragon. Latis approached the gate curiously and listened intently.
"I said no, and that's final! Lovestone, a stone sculpture is a stone sculpture, and a monster is a monster. You can piece together stones to create a so-called chimera, but the formation of a dragon is not something you can achieve by simply piecing together the bloodlines of various dragon-type monsters!"
“But I’ve already succeeded, haven’t I?” another young voice said. “They’re working perfectly. Although they’re only the first generation, they’re already good enough to be called dragons. Besides, I have ideas for improving them. Why don’t we work together?”
"Your Excellency Tina will be disgraced by you, Lovestone." The first voice sighed deeply. "Every action of a Holy Knight concerns the reputation of the Church of Light. Haven't you considered this risk?"
“I’ve thought about it,” Lovestone’s voice was tinged with enthusiasm. “But the success rate is still very high, isn’t it? If the reputation of the Dragon Research Association being able to create dragons spreads, have you thought about how much benefit we can gain, Professor Gorzan?”
boom!
Gorzan and Lovestone were startled and quickly turned to look at the black-robed man lying in front of the gate.
"Holy crap, so you guys didn't close the door! No wonder it was so loud!"
Latis awkwardly got up from the ground, and facing four puzzled eyes, he coughed lightly and began to play the accordion.
“Young man! If you have any questions, I might be able to answer them for you. No one in this city knows more about dragons than I do…”
Lovestone paused for a moment, scratched his head, and said:
"Uh, do you know what concentration of dragon blood should be maintained in a hybrid creation based on a dragon after extracting blood from a dragon-type demon? Or, to put it another way, what functions of the hybrid creation are affected by the amount of dragon blood?"
Gorzan shook his head, stood up, and said:
"Stop asking about this kid, Lovestone, what exactly are you hoping for..."
"Wait, I actually know the answer to this question!"
Latis slapped his thigh, raised his index finger, and recalling Serfal's situation, a confident smile immediately appeared on his face. He put one hand on his hip, pointed sharply at the two stunned people, and laughed heartily:
"It will affect the size of my breasts!"
……
None of them are compatible with high-level magic elements...
Mitu rubbed her temples with both hands and walked out of the school gate with a helpless expression.
"However, when I mentioned Lord Latis, the headmaster seemed unsurprised. Could it be that someone had already spoken to him beforehand?"
"I'll go see Sister Sister at the Silly Cat Cafe later. Ever since she heard that confession about fish, she hasn't done anything related to it. Sigh, it's been so long since I've been back to the Church of Our Lady. I wonder if there are any new missions..."
Suddenly, she saw Latis being chased out of his house by two brooms across the street, and she froze.
"The cyber police under the goddess's command are being beaten with brooms. Why am I having such a strange hallucination?"
She rubbed her eyes, looked at the innocent-looking Latis, and couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency?"
"It's nothing." Latis smoothed his thick hair and said with a sigh:
"Academia is always full of factionalism and attacking dissent. I'm used to it. In my hometown, there are even more straightforward and unpretentious methods of attack. In the end, time will prove me right."
“Oh, oh…” Mitu responded blankly. She quickly changed the subject, saying:
"The principal of Qing Teng Academy said that you are welcome to come for an exchange at any time. Once you have settled in, you can go directly there."
"Ok."
Latis searched for the image of the principal of Qing Teng Academy in the simulated memory, but unfortunately, he had already received too many memories, and most of the unimportant things flashed by quickly like a revolving lantern, leaving a blank regarding the principal's features.
"Shall we go get our equipment now?"
Mitu yawned. All she wanted right now was to get to a safe place quickly so she could take off her clothes and socks and relax.
"Okay, let's go."
……
No. 1 Tianhai Street, God's Hand Magic Equipment Shop.
"Oh, priestess, did you place this equipment order?"
A dark-skinned female dwarf emerged from the stairwell leading underground, removed her heavy heat-resistant gloves, and looked at Mitu, who was pressing the service bell.
"Good morning, ring ring. It's my order." Mitu's expression of heartache returned as she pointed at Latis and said, "But it's for this gentleman."
"Wow!"
Lingling unbuttoned her large, insulated robe, revealing glimpses of fair skin with varying shades beneath her narrow vest. She clapped her hands vigorously and said:
Congratulations, you're finally out of single life!
"No, no!" Mitu screamed, covering her face. "It's a colleague, a colleague!"
"Oh." Lingling's expression instantly calmed down. As she took a box from under the counter, she said coldly:
"I guess I should just forget about dating someone I work with."
“Right?” Mitu sighed softly.
"No, big sister?" Latis looked at Lingling, then at Mitu, and couldn't help but complain:
"Could you please stop performing sitcoms everywhere?"
"Hey kid, here's the necklace you wanted."
Lingling opened the box, revealing the exquisite necklace inside. She smiled proudly and said:
"I did my best to enchant two active spells and one spell that is always active. It was definitely worth it!"
"I believe in the sincerity of your dwarf race."
Latis chuckled, picked up the box, and lightly touched the necklace.
[Unnamed Necklace: A masterpiece crafted from dozens of minerals, its exquisitely simple design greatly enhances the magical power it can withstand. Solidified Spells: Summon Spirits (1/1), Tree Leap (3/3), Cleanse Body]
[Sixth Ring Spell - Summon Spirit: Summons a sixth-ring level beast spirit to fight for you for the duration of the spell.]
[Fifth Ring Spell - Tree Leap: After casting this spell, you can enter a tree and move to any tree within the spell's range.]
[Cleanse your body: Effective under normal conditions, continuously cleanses the body of impurities, keeping it clean.]
"That would suit Arte quite well..."
Latis put away the box, nodded, and smiled:
"I'm very satisfied, Boss Lingling. I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
Watching Latis walk out the door happily, Lingling shook her head and looked at Mitu, saying:
"So you really haven't considered a colleague romance? Although I'm not into that kind of thing, I can eat anything."
"Get out!" Mitu sighed, leaning on the counter, and called out in a drawn-out voice:
"You go ahead and do it! I'm going through menopause from all the apprentices!"
Lingling's expression suddenly turned strange, and she muttered:
"It's not that I can't go for it, but the size difference is too big, so I'd better not."
Mitu chuckled, gently patted Lingling's head, and said:
"It doesn't matter if you're short, Lingling is still very cute!"
"Are you a little kid?" Lingling frowned, brushed Mitu's hand away, and pointed to her eyes, saying:
"I'm talking about that size! Do you think my eyes are just for show? My eyes are the ruler!"
She shook her head, and as Mitu's gaze grew increasingly vacant, she compared the position of her ribs and sighed.
"He's going to die."
……
"Next, I need to find a place to stay, then ask someone about the construction of the mage tower. In the meantime, I'll also contact the principals of the various academies. Ah... I really wonder what kind of person the real Zerris would be."
Latis put the necklace box into his bag and glanced at the Queen's Academy, which was near Lundia I.
The magnificent building gradually matched the image in his simulated memory, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
"The more memories I receive, the more I seem to lose sight of reality and simulation. Although the simulated memories are mostly fast and blurry, it always feels like those things happened here before..."
He shook his head and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
……
"After a long period of research work, even though the owner, Ms. Manshi, tried her best to massage me, my legs were still very sore..."
Frico stretched her feet in her boots, sighed, and gripped her academic coat tighter.
"We still have 1,321 gold whitets left. Should we purchase another set of materials to repeat the previous research?..."
She walked into the mineral raw material shop next to the massage parlor and carefully compared minerals with different cuts and qualities.
"Forget it, I'll have to get these unevenly pure materials pre-treated by a craftsman. I'm also short on funds; my supervisor won't pay me until next month, and I still have two projects to finish..."
Frico sighed and shook her head, glanced longingly at the displayed ores, and then lowered her head to walk out of the store.
Suddenly, a pair of weathered, sturdy leather boots appeared before her eyes.
Frico looked up in confusion at the man in front of her, who was wearing a hooded black robe, and made a slight step aside.
“I came here to find you, Frico.”
Latis grinned, stretched out his hand, and said:
“I know you are currently in dire financial straits and have been struggling with your Enlightenment experiments. Here’s the thing: I might open an academy sometime in the future, on that small hill directly opposite the Golden Hall across the spire wall. If you’re interested, you can come and take a look at the academy. I’d like to hire you as a teaching assistant.”
