"Here are the two extra coins for you. Go to the outer city and find a seamstress to mend the holes in your clothes." Yin Xiuer bent down, patted the boy's head, and then watched the boy run away with a slightly flushed face, pinching his own chin with some confusion.
"Orphans from Alice Welfare Home? I heard that Lei Qing, a former botany lecturer at Qing Teng Academy, was the administrator there. I wonder if the injuries she sustained during her missions have healed..."
"I have great respect for these scholars who are at the forefront of magical research. It's a pity that reality is too close and ideals are too far away. If I could also go to the site to explore those ancient cultures and ruins... hmm?"
She looked at the headline of the urgent daily newspaper, "Holy Knights Show Off in Lundia, Father of Dragons Creates a New Future," and pinched the bridge of her nose, puzzled.
After skimming through the article, Yin Xiuer couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Is the era of everyone having a giant dragon about to arrive? I must say, this writer's words are truly stirring; even I felt a surge of excitement..."
"But that 'Father of Dragons' is truly remarkable. Even Scholar Lovestone said that his knowledge is far inferior to his. I really want to meet such a great scholar. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've continued to study the relics in my family's collection..."
She sighed at the busyness of her life and turned to the next page of the newspaper.
"The Story of Lady Tina, the Quasi-Dragon Knight," this article is a bit sharp, criticizing Lady Tina's family. I wonder what kind of discussion it will spark on the Magic Network... Hmm? Submitted by Latis?
Yin Xiuer rubbed his eyes, looked up at the dim sky where the sun and moon were changing, and remained silent for a while.
"Well, little La is young and full of energy, it's normal for him to have these kinds of interests... Let's look at the next chapter, 'Unveiling the Mysterious Veil of the Father of Dragons,' submitted by Jennifer, a name that sounds familiar... Hmm???"
When she saw the article stating that "the father of dragons was named Latis," her pupils dilated in shock, and she took two steps back before collapsing against the exterior wall of Moon's family restaurant.
"what?!"
……
"And yet I had the audacity to instruct him on how to do things, little did I know that he had already set a brilliant precedent in the field of magical research..."
As Yin Xiuer lay on her bed in her apartment, she blushed with embarrassment as she recalled the words she had spoken in the office earlier.
"I... I'm such an incompetent teacher. How could I misunderstand my students like that and say such hurtful things..."
She rolled around on the bed a few times, and finally, as if she had lost all her strength, she spread her limbs out and sighed dejectedly.
"You have to admit your mistakes and correct them, Yin Xiuer. You can't just pretend nothing happened..."
Yin Xiuer tumbled off the bed with a thud, rushed to the vanity mirror, sat down in a chair, looked at her reflection in the mirror—wearing a shirt and vest—hesitated for a moment, and silently recited:
"Dress a little more formally and go apologize to him in person..."
……
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
The apartment door opened, and the landlord, carrying a lantern, looked at the elegant woman in front of him, wearing a brown shawl, a long skirt, and a bowler hat, and asked irritably:
"Who are you? Are you here to rent a room?"
“Huh, Mr. Landlord?” Silver Shul asked, taken aback.
"Where is the man who used to live here?"
"I don't know! Damn it, pretending to be looking for a long-term lease. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find any wear and tear..." Suddenly noticing the woman's elegant aura, the landlord immediately thought of the wealthy maid who had come to move the furniture earlier, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking:
"Oh no, could that man be some kind of nobleman? I'm so sure! No, better safe than sorry..."
He quickly wiped his sweat and said with a forced smile:
"Ah! I suddenly remember, that gentleman moved out. Oh, those distinguished guests seemed to have mentioned moving to room 3610 in the Mage Tower when they were moving their furniture..."
……
"Mage Tower 3610?"
Silver Hugh glanced at the automated mage territory map at the entrance of the Mage Association and immediately spotted the conspicuous number in a green valley.
"This place is quite close, unlike my number 2999, which is more than ten miles from the inner city... If my mage tower were closer, I wouldn't need to rent an apartment. Sigh..."
She awkwardly pressed down on the hem of her long skirt, which was fluttering slightly in the wind, and in the shadowy corner, she adjusted her rolled-up stockings and sighed.
I hope Xiao La won't find my outfit too surprising...
……
……
[Latis: Speaking of which, I was planning to invite you to the dinner party tonight! Too bad you're not here, so I'll just have to tell you about the barbecue I ate, haha!]
[Jennifer: Ugh! I'm on a long and arduous journey to the Holy City, and this is what you tell me?! I'll catch a hundred cockroaches right now and make you some kebabs!]
[Latis: ? Jennifer, how ruthless you are! Are you trying to assassinate me? But I'm afraid your plot will fail! Because my warrior level has reached level four, and I already possess the Super Digestion Technique!]
[Jennifer: W-what? I've only been gone for less than a day, and you've already joined the ranks of the war criminals? Damn it, I'm cutting ties with you!]
[Latis: It's a pity, but the esteemed Holy Knight Jennifer has only just accepted my gift, and now she probably wouldn't even dare to harbor any ill will towards me!]
[Jennifer: Hey, you're not doing this to seduce me, are you?! Damn it, I'll just pay with my body! Sigh, is being a knight really just about becoming a plaything for a princess to do with as she pleases?]
[Latis: ! (◎_◎;) Jennifer, what are you saying, Jennifer!]
[Jennifer: Cough cough cough... Okay, there should be a lot of people tonight, right? It must be very lively, I'm so envious...]
[Latis: I'll give you another one later.]
Jennifer: Yay! I love you so much!
After disconnecting from Jennifer's beacon, Latis stroked his chin and muttered:
"This young knight really doesn't treat his brothers like outsiders..."
He scratched his head, walked out of his room, and looked down from the three-story hillside walkway.
Under the illumination of the magic crystal lamp under the flower stand, you can see the busy plant guardians, who are moving cooking utensils from the pile of miscellaneous items to the campfire. The half-elf is squatting by the campfire with his eyes slightly closed. Then, as if sensing something, he opens his clear blue eyes and looks up at Latis.
"Little fairy, have you developed a telepathic connection with me?"
Latis couldn't help but smile and wave. Watching the half-elf tilt his head and curl his lips into a smile, his mood inexplicably became cheerful.
Under the half-elf's gaze, he felt as if he were being caressed by a spring breeze as he surveyed the entire courtyard with ease.
For some reason, Frico lay on the chaise lounge under the flower stand, her face deathly pale. She stared blankly at the magic crystal lamp, exuding a beauty that seemed to exist in the shadow of death.
"When did this little office worker arrive? Make sure you stay alive! Don't let your blood splatter on my phone..."
Yashutia hugged her magic furnace and guiltily rummaged through it. Latis looked at her for five seconds, and then she pulled out five things: a back scratcher, a measuring device that looked like a Tamagotchi, a poop-shaped mold, a book without pages, and a fascia gun that looked like a cannon.
"What exactly do you usually practice? Damn it, I definitely need to raid your secret workshop sometime..."
Latis watched as Yashutia, who was handing the prop to Frico and bowing repeatedly in apology, couldn't help but wonder:
"What mischief has this little sister gotten herself into this time? I have to say, she's increasingly showing comedic potential..."
He glanced at the red-haired girl, Serfa, who was already tied to a chair, then at Yaya, who was rapidly sketching bondage scenes, and thought to himself:
"Sis, you really love painting! If you ever hold an art exhibition, I'll definitely get someone to sponsor it for you, okay?"
Latis sighed, looking at the only robin bustling about in the yard, and the words she had said to him before seemed to echo in his ears again.
"To help my older brother as soon as possible, I still want to find an academy to study. Right now, I'm the most useless person in this family..." That's what she said. Come to think of it, I never noticed, but Little Bird seems to have a very strong sense of pride...
"Well, never mind, I can't really say whether it's good or bad. Actually, it's fine if she just grows up peacefully like this. Anyway, I've already decided to add her to my harem..."
Some ideas about birth floated through his mind, and Latis chuckled to himself. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the robin running toward the gate of the Forest Valley. His gaze lingered on the woman outside the gate for a few seconds before he paused, stunned.
"That's... Teacher Yin?"
……
"Hello, beautiful lady, are you here to see my brother?"
The robin bowed politely to Silver Hugh and asked curiously.
"Hmm, hello little sister." Silver Hugh was momentarily flustered upon hearing the robin's address, then blushed slightly and bent down to stroke the robin's head, saying:
"I'm here to see Latis, little Latis. I'm his teacher, Yin Xiuer. I heard he just moved, so I came to congratulate him."
"I see, hello Mr. Silver!" The robin obediently grabbed Silver's hand from its head and shook it, then turned and pointed to the end of the path in the woods where the light was, saying:
"Please come in, teacher!"
Silverhull followed the robin half a step behind her with impeccable manners. Looking at the messy woodland around them, she couldn't help but ask curiously:
"I never expected that Xiao La would have such a love for nature."
"Huh?" the robin exclaimed in confusion, then suddenly realized and said:
"This has something to do with the master of our mage tower!"
"Hmm? Is the master of your mage tower a plant-based mage?" Looking at the robin's mysterious smiling face, Silver Shrew sighed helplessly:
"Little La has so many secrets!"
"That's the eldest brother!" The robin nodded vigorously, walked for a while, and then suddenly asked curiously:
"Ms. Yin, what subject do you teach my brother?"
“Uh…” Yin Xiu’er’s mind flashed to the image of Latis, who was in his class in all three academies, and he couldn’t help but say with a headache:
"There are probably, there are probably a lot..."
"Is that so!" The robin was silent for a moment, then asked softly:
"Teacher Yin, I have a question for you... If I want to gain combat ability as soon as possible, which academy should I go to?"
"Eh? You, Xiao La, and his advisor are relatives, so you shouldn't need to..."
Silvershurst paused mid-sentence, then, seeing the robin's defiant gaze as it raised its head, he felt a jolt of fear, and quickly changed the subject, saying:
"There's no need to worry too much about the academic pressure later on, so I recommend you go to Bogu Academy. Although the research tasks are heavy, your combat abilities will improve very quickly..."
……
……
"Ah! Teacher Gin! Teacher Gin, you're so cute!"
As Yinxiu entered the courtyard, a familiar scream suddenly rang in her ears. Her expression changed, and she turned to look at Yeye, who was lunging at her. Instinctively, she raised her hand and shouted:
"Tentacle Impact!"
……
"For some reason, hearing Yaya's voice brings to mind tentacles. I'm no longer pure..."
Yin Xiuer sat in the chair, looked at her hands, and covered her face in sorrow.
"Uh, Teacher Yin, should we let her go first..." Latis pointed to Yaya, who was suffocating and rolling her eyes back as her mouth was stuffed with tentacles, and asked hesitantly.
