"In short, I wanted to express my gratitude to you. I plan to exchange some equipment for you on the Magic Network. Is there anything you need?"
"Huh?" Latis was full of questions. "Equipment exchanged through the magic network?"
"What does he mean by that?!" Mitu's face paled, and she couldn't help but think, "Does he think the specialization level of the magic network equipment is too low? But... but I might not be able to afford elemental or bloodline specialized equipment..."
"Your Excellency," she said through gritted teeth, "it may be ordinary, but it is a token of my goodwill, and I hope you will not find it offensive."
Latis scratched his head, watching Mitu's face turn pale and then red, his heart skipped a beat, and he silently took a step back.
"Is this woman plotting to kill me again? Damn, women are so dangerous!"
"Hahaha..." Latis chuckled dryly for a moment, then said, "I don't mind, I don't mind..."
"Then, what exactly do you want!" Mitu asked, looking up with a pained expression and her eyes red.
"Anything is fine! Anything is fine!"
Latis retreated several steps, then suddenly shouted as if he had remembered something, "Then let's have the necklace, the necklace!"
"Anything is fine? Or a necklace?"
"necklace!"
“Alright.” Mitu turned around abruptly, wiped her eyes, and said sadly, “Mr. Latis, please pick up the goods at No. 1 Tianhai Street, Lundia in three days. I… I have to go now…”
Watching the delicate white flower beneath the priest's robe sway and drift away, Latis let out a deep breath and sighed:
"Women are terrifying... my brothers are much better."
“But… No. 1 Tianhai Street, Lundia?” He looked thoughtful, then waved and called out to Artemis, who was waiting for him in the distance:
"Arte, let's go!"
……
"Big brother, wait a minute."
Ateliers nudged Latis in the lower back and pointed to the black-hatted sorcerers in front of them.
Apart from the demon's legs still twitching involuntarily, everyone else was either dead or had fled, leaving only a mess on the field.
"Brother, one of them saved me. I want to see if that child is still here."
"Go, Arte."
Latis looked at the half-elf's slender and agile figure, rubbed his hands together, and chuckled.
Don't get me wrong, he didn't have any ulterior motives towards his good friend, but rather...
"I've missed you so much, Baldy!"
"I'm super!"
The demon suddenly awoke from his nightmare and shouted:
"Damn it, I keep hearing that trench soldier's voice in my dreams! It's making my balls hurt!"
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his palm, so he looked down blankly at his philtrum.
"Ah!!! I'm amazing!"
The demon tensed his body, threw his head back, and roared wildly:
"It hurts!"
After calling out for a while, he exhausted his strength and began to breathe heavily. He opened his eyes with tears streaming down his face, only to find a face he least wanted to see peering over his head.
"This pose feels somewhat familiar, but my feelings are completely different!"
Latis, with a delightful smile and a service-oriented demeanor, stared at the demon for a full minute.
"what……"
The demon let out a short shout, then passed out because he had been forgetting to breathe.
"Hey, what do you mean!"
Latis kicked him hard on the head in annoyance, then sighed and walked to the front.
"The boss once said that when facing customers, we need to have a damn service mentality. Now that I think about it, the boss is the damn troublesome customer."
Latis loudly complained as he looked at the demon, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Latis, how could you become so depraved? You even dare to laugh at customers now! You should know that this is your boss in the company!"
He tried to convince himself, but suddenly flew into a rage and kicked the demon.
“That feels good.”
Latis squatted down again with a grin, his face suddenly radiating a divine light.
……
Two minutes later, he suddenly snapped out of his self-absorption, quickly shook his hand in disgust, and shouted:
"Damn! I forgot to change my title!"
[The King of Torture (Already Worn)]
Latis raised his fingers in a gesture of Buddhist meditation, his expression solemn as he looked down at the demon...
……
When Ateliers returned carrying the dying Demon Encyclopedia, she saw Latis chanting scriptures beside the emaciated demon.
If you listen carefully, you can almost hear things like "mixing spaghetti with No. 42 concrete" or "your length will affect the excavator's torque."
"Brother, this child seems to be dying..."
Artemis knelt beside Latis, clutching the Demon Girl Encyclopedia, and sighed.
"Let me be healthy."
Latis opened his eyes and took the girl from Ateliers's arms.
The girl wearing black fake animal ear hair ornaments had her eyes closed, her body trembling with barely perceptible breathing. The bloodstains at the corners of her mouth were repeatedly soaked by fresh blood, and through her disheveled shawl, one could see that her exposed skin was covered with wounds...
"I know that the Black Hat Warlocks are legendary villains who commit all sorts of evil deeds and are the scum of the Atlantis continent, but I thought there might be some humanity within their ranks."
Latis said calmly that he always thought he would be numb to such scenes because he had seen so many poor children who died from bombing by a certain country in his previous life, but when he saw this scene with his own eyes, a kind of anger that tore at his flesh and blood surged up in his heart.
"I've used the Healing Mantra seven or eight times already, but some wounds just won't heal..."
Artemis lowered her head, silently blaming herself for her powerlessness, while vowing to perfect her magic book as quickly as possible, so that at least she wouldn't have to suffer through this again.
“I have a sixth-ring healing spell that I was going to give to you…” Latis said hesitantly.
"Give it to this child; she saved my life."
Artemis said with a firm gaze.
Chapter 46 The Robin (Please continue reading)
"Robin, it's your turn."
The sounds, whether sharp or heavy, echoed in her mind, sounds that pierced through the overlapping years, yet still carried a dull ache.
"Robin, haven't you differentiated yet?"
"Robin, what are you daydreaming about?"
"Robin, haven't you gained your powers yet?"
……
"It's so noisy..."
The robin sat blankly in the darkness, avoiding the surging tide of memories.
"Robin, your parents were attacked and killed while on patrol. It's all your fault, all because you didn't differentiate!"
They say that having strong emotions allows for differentiation, but how am I supposed to know what kind of emotions I need...?
"Children of the Kolichu tribe must shoulder social responsibility. Because you can neither fight nor lay eggs, your parents have been assigned patrol duties one after another. All of this is because of you!"
"It was my fault, I understand."
"The Black Hat organization on the mainland is buying up new blood from various races. Robin, you are thirteen years old now and have not differentiated yet. Staying in the Sky Tree of Oslude is a waste of the ecological space here. Go with the Black Hat organization. At least you can exchange some survival supplies for the Sky Tree."
"I understand," she heard her younger self say calmly. "May I pay my respects to my parents one more time?"
"Is it necessary? If your parents saw you like this, they wouldn't rest in peace even in the underworld."
"I understand." She heard a sigh that echoed from her distant childhood.
……
"You're one of the slaves the chief bought from the Keliqiu tribe? What abilities do you possess?"
“I will…” The young robin glanced at the numerous remains of the leader who had been whipped to death behind him, and a sense of fear finally welled up in her heart. She remembered the prices and descriptions of the materials she had memorized over time when she was looking for the differentiation potion in the market of the Sky Tree, and changed her words, “I can know the properties and prices of things, which should be very useful to you.”
"Hahahaha..." The leader laughed heartily, and he laughed for so long that the robin began to tremble involuntarily with fear before he calmed down and said:
"Then you can be called Magic Encyclopedia from now on."
Suddenly, he scrutinized the robin from head to toe, a playful smile appearing on his face, and said:
"You should... have differentiated by now, right?"
The robin was startled.
After the children of the Keliqiu tribe turn five, if their individual emotional needs are met, they will gradually begin to differentiate. This differentiation includes not only gender but also abilities. The abilities that emerge from this differentiation are incredibly diverse, which is why the Keliqiu tribe is quite well-known throughout the vast universe.
"It's differentiated!" the robin exclaimed hastily. "I'm...I'm a girl!"
"Oh." The leader didn't delve into it. He glanced at the robin one last time and said indifferently, "Then you'll be called Demon Girl Encyclopedia. Go train in the lowest-ranking squad first, and hopefully you won't bring shame to your race."
……
"So tired. What am I doing?" she murmured, lost in thought. "Shouldn't I be trying to memorize all this jumbled knowledge, or numbly watching those cruel acts from behind the villain's squad?"
"Demon Girl Encyclopedia!"
A slightly familiar voice called out her title from afar.
"Demon Girl Encyclopedia, ah, that's me."
