"Holy crap, what's with this 'room shaking' thing? It's easy for people to misunderstand!" Latis shouted at the top of her lungs. "To all the onlookers outside, I'm innocent! I didn't do anything!"
"No, no!" Blackfly's angry voice came through a series of cracking sounds. "It's a message from the Black Hat Warlock! Ugh, your skin is so tough, my hands hurt so much..."
"Huh? Did you hit me? Watch your hand, little sister!" Latis's voice was full of confusion. "So what exactly is your relationship with the Black Hat Warlock?"
"I'm acting as an intermediary in some transactions with them... well, the reward is one of the life-altering techniques, the method for creating the Lich's Life Box. In return, I need to assist the Black Hat Warlock in completing three tasks, and this is the second one. If I fail, I will no longer be qualified to accept commissions from above."
"I see." Latis looked thoughtful.
This mysterious trader did not appear in the simulation, so it seems that Black Swallow was not lying. She is not the mastermind, and someone else is the one who wants to harm Mitu.
"But it has nothing to do with me!"
Latis chuckled to himself as he leisurely lay back on the massage chair made up of a dozen or so hands.
"Although Mitu is an old flame in the simulated events, there's nothing I can do if someone's targeting her. Forget about being a master—I mean, a 'helping others' mentality—and respect the fate of others!"
"By the way, what did the Black Hat Warlocks say?"
"They said they encountered someone."
"Who? Mitu?"
"It's a...you, how did you know my mission target?!" Black Swallow screamed again, crouching fearfully by the bedside, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"Oops? You let it slip." Latis covered his mouth without any remorse, then skillfully opened the cabinet where Black Swallow stored food, took out the most ordinary fried silkworm pupae, and started stuffing them into his mouth.
"How did you know I kept all my snacks here?!" Black Swallow's sense of security was beginning to crumble, and her eyes started to lose their sparkle.
"Well, if I told you you've drunk thousands of liters of milk I produced, would you be scared to death..." Latis muttered under his breath. He glanced at the Black Flash Swallow, whose expression had collapsed, but decided to hold back in order not to drive her crazy.
"Latis, you're so gentle, I'm going to cry."
"I am a very powerful divination mage." Latis looked at his empty divination spell slots and said without changing his expression, "In one of my divinations, I saw you in the future being charged to death by a strange bull-like creature. As a fellow alchemist, I felt obligated to help you as a senior, so I came to find you."
"Really? Really?" A glimmer of light appeared in Black Swallow's eyes, but she hesitated before speaking.
"But the magic energy on you tells me you're only at the apprentice level..."
"Cough cough cough."
Latis coughed and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Damn it, I forgot my sister is a magical genius."
“That’s right.” Latis immediately changed his tune with practiced ease. “That mage is my teacher. I’m not very skilled, so I can only use his name to deceive people. But my alchemy skills are indeed good enough to guide you. There’s no doubt about that.”
"Alright." Blackfly watched as Latis expertly flipped through her magic notebook, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, like being caught doing homework by a teacher. She quickly covered the notebook and shouted:
"Wait, don't look yet! Um... right, the black-hatted sorcerer said they encountered an elf!"
"What?!" Latis's expression changed drastically. He dropped his magic notebook, pounded on the control panel of the alchemy hut, and shouted:
"What are we waiting for? Second brother, your brother's here! Alchemy Hut, start it up!"
After a buzzing sound, the legs of the alchemy hut stood up and walked towards the river in the distance.
Behind them, Serfal, sleeping peacefully with a rope around his neck, was being slowly dragged away by the alchemy hut, bouncing along.
……
[Current progress: 25%]
Mitu looked at the stagnant progress of the commission and showed a conflicted expression.
There's been no movement for several hours now. I don't know if my colleague is still alive, or if he's already gone...
She bent down, cast Lightness and Speed spells on the horse beneath her, and returned to the magic network.
"While on my way, I'll check if there are any users who need to be subject to internet censorship recently."
Mitu glanced at the publicly available list of messaging beacons and randomly clicked on one.
[The internet police officer "Lost Rabbit" has joined the "Unnatural Death" beacon]
After a message visible only to herself, the chat history within the beacon began to appear before her eyes.
[Norlad Atmosphere Team: Good morning, Lundia! A wonderful day ends with breakfast with the Headmaster! Reporting to the organization, my body is still in excellent health today, please rest assured!]
[Negative Ring Magician: A butter I recently ate has issued an anti-spicy declaration. I solemnly declare that I have never used this butter to froth milk, and I have completely severed ties with it!]
[Bombshell Boy: Seniors up so early? Haha, I should go to sleep now. Seventy-two hours without sleep, but it's okay. Who said it's easy to get a dog...]
[4 Rue de la Rondia: Wasn't this the same guy who bought three tubes of erectile dysfunction medication from my shop last time? He said he wanted to drink them all at once to see the effect. These young people nowadays...]
Mitu looked at him with a puzzled expression. She glanced at the beacon name again and silently left.
"I thought this was a medical discussion group. Looks like I don't need to warn the public about boundaries anymore..."
She yawned and mumbled:
"I traveled all night, and after finishing this, I still have to go back to guide my apprentices. I hope everyone is alright..."
Her finger slid randomly and tapped a new beacon.
[Cyber police officer "Lost Rabbit" has joined the beacon "Hand of the Mage"]
[A gentleman's one-minute session: It was really exhilarating.]
"Hmm?" Mitu immediately perked up. She wiped away the tears that had squeezed out of the corners of her eyes and looked on carefully.
[Mr. Silver's Hand: Therefore, the Mage's Hand is indeed the most typical and most promising spell.]
[For puppet enthusiasts: You can try embedding a mage's hand inside a hollow puppet; it will feel very different after you put it in.]
[A magician driven by interest: Inspired by Gouzi Ge?]
[Mr. Silver, the Mage's Hand: Gouzi is indeed a genius. I've already sent him an invitation, and he'll receive it once he arrives at the Third Ring Road.]
[An amateur artist by profession: drew a fan art of Gouzi and the group owner, hehe.]
[An amateur artist who is a full-time artist: [Images][Images]]
[The true master of the Mage's Hand is me: I'm awesome! Max!]
[Captain Jenny: Hehe, lots of touching!]
[Note: "Mr. Silver, the Hand of the Mage" has banned "Amateur Warlock, a Professional Painter" from muting for 24 hours.]
[Note: "Mr. Silver, the Mage's Hand" has muted "Captain Jenny" for 24 hours.]
Mitu curiously clicked on the picture, glanced at it, and then closed it in embarrassment.
"What a shameful thing!"
She felt her heart suddenly race, and her mind was filled with the scene from just now.
"No, this beacon must be sealed off!"
MiTu opened the control panel, intending to block the beacon, but suddenly hesitated.
She returned to the beacon, secretly downloaded the two images back to her own backend, then glanced at the sky with a guilty look, silently closed her eyes and repented for two seconds.
Mitu opened her eyes, quickly sealed the beacon, clapped her hands, and chuckled:
"Today is another day of ridding the people of evil!"
Chapter 42 The entire Dragon Horn Territory is in complete chaos (Part 2)
"Nyeho, I am Latishi, Niho!"
At the border of Senhai Territory, an alchemy hut with more than twenty hairy legs was speeding along, occasionally sliding into ditches to perform extreme cornering, along with various fancy maneuvers, leaving the Serfal dragging behind it rolling around.
"Please, please don't..."
Black Swallow clung tightly to the bed leg, forcefully choking back the acid reflux that rose in her throat. Her shawl came undone, her vest slipped down to her arms, and she cried out weakly between sobs:
"Stop drifting, stop..."
"What? You spoke, little sister?"
Latis stood in front of the control panel and shouted. He picked at his ear, opened the window, let the morning breeze ruffle his high hairline, and said with a satisfied expression:
"Damn, I've been wanting to drive like this since I was driving for my boss..."
"No, no." His expression suddenly changed, and he lightly slapped himself twice. "Latis, Latis, you are free now, no longer a capitalist's beast of burden. You need to change your mindset in time!"
"Senior, Big Brother, Father, Master..." Black Swallow helplessly raised her hand, "Open, open slowly..."
Latis suddenly turned around and glanced back, grinning broadly:
"Oh dear, suddenly I can hear it again."
"You, you!" Black Swallow stood up in embarrassment and anger, but was instantly thrown onto the bed by an S-shaped drift.
"Sigh, if I were eighteen this year, I could ride a bicycle with you for seven hours straight in one night. Unfortunately, I'm thirty-five now, and I'm already impotent..."
Latis, feeling melancholy about the passing of years, suddenly paused, realizing he had transmigrated, and awkwardly said:
"Wait a minute, La is only twenty-one this year, still in the prime of his youth!"
He subtly adjusted the egg track and began to think seriously.
"I wonder what the situation is like for alchemists in the Kingdom of Norard. Given Blackfly's level of common sense, he probably wouldn't understand these things at all."
"I originally intended to just grab some benefits and leave, but after spending time with her, I found this younger sister to be surprisingly easy to bully. I really don't understand why a mage with such immense talent would be wandering the world."
"In the simulated memories, alchemy was an extremely lucrative profession, but it has long been lost. Purchasing tools and materials is also extremely difficult. Blackflash Swallow's alchemy hut has the complete equipment; we certainly can't let it slip by."
Latis looked at Black Swallow, who had buried her head in the blanket, and sighed.
"It's a difficult decision. Should we seize the alchemy hut, or wait and see what happens to her later...? The alchemy hut can't enter the town, so it still needs someone to manage it. If she does something evil again afterward, then we'll settle accounts with her."
"How about this."
Latis slowed the car's pace and patted his chest, saying:
"Since you've called me 'elder brother,' I won't treat you unfairly. Let me take my teacher's place and teach you what true alchemy is, and what human morality is!"
He glanced at Hei Shanyan, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, and continued to deceive her:
"Of course, I'm going to Lundia next, so you'll have to come with me. I'll teach you alchemy in between my magic studies."
“But,” Black Swallow said, fidgeting with the ends of her curly hair, “I’m almost a level three alchemist. I believe you have a very powerful teacher, but can you really teach me?”
"Hey, you little girl..." Latis was about to launch into his greasy lecture on the ways of the corporate slave when he suddenly spotted a group of familiar black hats in his field of vision. He frowned and thought:
