Who says the Magic Cyber ​​Police can't overthrow the Heavenly Gang?

Artemis quickly concealed the strange sensation in her body, straightened up, and felt the familiar touches on her waist and legs. Her ears instantly burned, and she couldn't help but mentally scold:

"Damn it... you wicked Latis! What are you doing all of a sudden..."

"...Hmm, eh?"

Suddenly, the robin seemed to notice something and chuckled to herself. She sat back down on the edge of the bed, swung her slender legs, winked at Atelier, and whispered:

"Sister Arte, well... I'll go to your room and wait for you, okay?"

"W-what?!"

At the sight of the robin's expression, Artemis knew that the child must have sensed something through her new ability. Thinking this, the half-elf's pointed ears twitched with embarrassment. After hesitating for a long time, she finally bit her lip helplessly and whispered:

"Then you go ahead... I'll be back in a bit..."

"Okay~" Robin chuckled as she stood up, tiptoed and hugged Artemis's waist, then lightly ran out of the room.

Artemis watched the robin's retreating figure disappear through the door, finally unable to resist, she collapsed onto the bed, covering her face and crying out in shame:

"...Waaah, this is so embarrassing! How could this happen..."

Even so, she didn't forget to respond to the scoundrel who was still groping around. After taking a few deep breaths, she closed her eyes and focused her consciousness on the place connected to her soul.

"Good luck, good luck..."

A strange song accompanied a sudden, expansive sense of connection. Ateliers intended to hurl a complaint at Latis in embarrassment, but the words that came out were replaced by a joyful greeting:

"Good evening, dear brother!"

……

……

"Oh ho! Good evening, little elf!"

Latis stopped his manual dialing music, chuckled, and asked:

"What are you doing, Art? Do you miss me? What did you eat tonight? How is everyone at home?"

"Reporting, Big Brother! Arte was just whispering with the little bird, and now she's on the phone with you. She misses you, she's been thinking about you all the time! Tonight we had cheesy mashed potatoes and slow-cooked beef ribs. The fruit for dessert was Eper fruit. I guess in a few days, the Mage Territory will have a new batch of fruit to add to the dessert selection. Hmm, it's a fruit called sweet orange. You said its scientific name is Orunji..."

Artemis's voice was filled with a reassuring warmth, and just hearing her chatter in his ear like that made him smile involuntarily.

If there's anything in this strange, alien world that can definitely give him a sense of home, it's undoubtedly his beloved little fairy. Because of her, Latis gradually develops a strong sense of responsibility and the courage to challenge the unknown.

"...The mage is doing a great job leading everyone! Little Bird is currently in full charge of setting up the production line; although busy, it's very fulfilling. Serfa seems to be constantly studying the book you gave me, and he comes to me every now and then to ask questions, but brother, are you sure Serfa won't go astray while reading it? I have a bad feeling..."

“Uh…” Latis broke out in a cold sweat. He had originally thought that since Serfal was still a child and hadn’t developed any dragon intelligence yet, reading books shouldn’t turn him into a pseudo-scientist dragon like in the simulation. However, after Arte asked him this question, he became a little unsure.

He wiped his sweat and muttered guiltily:

"I guess... I'm probably alright."

"It'd better be really alright..." Arte muttered, then continued:

"Miss Frico seems to have found some relief in her progress towards becoming a Legendary, and has started studying the magic network. However, she also seems interested in trying her hand at becoming a Magic Calligrapher. I gave her a blank book, and I wonder how far she'll go in her studies..."

"Miss Jennifer and Miss Night visited the Mage's Territory these past two days, and we had lunch together. It seems like they secretly gave some little notebooks to all the other girls in the Mage's Territory, but not me. That's strange..."

Oh, the sketchbook I commissioned to write every night is finished.

The thought of Art's bewildered expression, like "Why didn't I have that?" made Latis burst out laughing. He quickly covered his mouth, coughed twice, and said:

"Why don't you consult with Ye Ye? Maybe it's some kind of artwork or something?"

"Oh dear, I've already consulted them."

The half-elf replied hesitantly:

"But Miss Yaya stared at me with a very strange look and said something like, 'If I want to do it, I can just come to you directly and I don't need to look at her paintings...'"

"Cough cough cough!..." Latis coughed violently, his feet trembled, and he spontaneously performed a white crane spread its wings to steady himself. After carefully regaining his footing, he continued to complain:

"YaYa really knows how to handle things... but what she said isn't wrong..."

"Eh? What what?"

Artemis immediately asked curiously:

"So you knew, big brother? Tell me, tell me quickly!"

"Hmm..." Latis didn't intend to hide it from her, but in this way, Little Bird and Silly Dragon might have to receive moral education from Ateliers.

...But thinking about it, it's good to teach him a lesson, since it's not like he's the one getting criticized.

What's the point of indulging in this kind of virtual stuff all day? Why not just come and satisfy your curiosity by meeting him in person?

Be a fulfilled person in a positive environment, don't be a shut-in!

"It's like this," Latis explained, suppressing a laugh, "They asked Yaya to draw some, well, fantasies about me doing lewd things..."

"what?!"

Artemis was shocked. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and said:

"...No, confiscate it! It must be confiscated! I don't have any!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered what Ye Ye had said, and now she finally understood what Ye Ye meant. Her face instantly turned bright red, and she stammered:

"Wait, so, so what Ye Ye said, she, I..."

“Yes, she’s right.” Latis laughed heartily.

"..."

The half-elf remained silent for a moment, then finally cried out in embarrassment and anger:

"You stinky Latis! I'm ignoring you!"

……

After chatting for most of the night, Latis finally remembered that he originally had something important to ask Atelius, so he quickly brought up things like wood spirits and water spirits with her.

Unexpectedly, Artemis also happened to have something important to discuss, and the two of them brought it up at the same time, as if they were telepathically in sync.

After exchanging some banter, Latis asked Atelius about the elemental spirits in nature.

In fact, Latis knew that there were spells on the magic network such as "summoning elemental creatures" and "summoning spirit creatures," but the problem was that those summoning spells usually had a time limit, and you had to maintain the spell's link yourself, otherwise the summoned creature would quickly dissipate.

In this case, they naturally cannot stay on the floating islands and provide activity points for unlocking the floating island function.

You can't just summon dozens of elemental spirits when you're about to unlock a feature, can you? Not to mention whether the floating island will lose its level and revert to its original state after they dissipate, just maintaining dozens of links is something no human can do.

So what Latis really wanted to ask was whether there was a way to create elemental spirits without actively casting spells.

According to Mitu, when the magical elements in nature flow in a manner similar to atmospheric movement, they occasionally converge to form wonders such as magical element vortexes.

In such situations, if there is an abundance of a certain element nearby, elemental spirits will form. For example, when near a lake, water spirits will be born, and the floating island families that track the flow of magical energy will try to capture them.

However, such elemental spirits are extremely rare, and the newly established city of Titania naturally does not have enough manpower to keep tracking the magical atmosphere.

Logically speaking, if a kingdom as powerful as Norard has never heard of such a method, the probability of a similar spell existing in the world is almost zero. However, Latis still thinks that perhaps the all-powerful elf really does have a way.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Latis's question, Ateliers actually said in surprise:

"...Brother, is this some kind of divine arrangement? What I was just about to tell you might just fulfill your needs!"

"Huh? What a coincidence?" Latis was also surprised, then laughed and said:

"That's great! Arte, what is it you wanted to say?"

Artemis organized her thoughts and began to speak:

"Brother, there are rumors circulating about the Herod Ruins that have been going on for a while now. I was just about to ask you to come with me to investigate the truth of the matter!"

"After the fall of Herod City, the only place that could still be considered a ruin is that place..."

The half-elf took a deep breath, as if recalling something very distant, and his voice suddenly became somewhat wistful:

"That place is the last sacred site left to the Herodians by the Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree before their departure, the 'Land of Blessed Elves.' Of course, it also has another name—"

"The roots of the World Tree."

Chapter 365 She really is a woman who can become a mother.

The roots of the World Tree sound very intimidating at first glance, and they are indeed quite intimidating.

At first, Latis thought that this World Tree was not the same as the World Tree he knew, but after Atelier's explanation, he found that... they seemed to be quite similar.

According to the legends of Herod City, the offspring of the Elf Mother Goddess are scattered throughout the vast universe. Wherever she goes, every plane prospers under the influence and management of the Elf race.

The Mother Goddess planted the Mother Tree in the plane, so that the departed elves could turn into seeds and return to the embrace of the Mother Tree, where they would be reborn in time, and the population of the elves would steadily increase.

All of this is thanks to the World Tree.

In legend, the World Tree stands in the primordial plane of the elves. Its roots can grow infinitely, unaffected by the erosion of spatial turbulence. The Elven Mother Goddess uses the World Tree's roots, which traverse space, to reach one plane after another, spreading the civilization of the elves throughout the entire universe.

Latis listened to the legend with a sense of disbelief. If it was true, then Ate's mother clan was incredibly powerful. It was too overpowered!

Unfortunately, the World Tree itself did not have the ability to protect the Elven race. So after the Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree left this plane, Herod City inevitably declined under siege, until it fell and shattered.

However, if there's anything that could possibly remain in Herod City, it's probably only the roots of the World Tree.

Although Artemis didn't quite remember what the so-called "Land of the Elves' Blessed Land" was for because she had left home early, she vaguely remembered that Herod City had established an extremely perfect ecological environment on the floating island with the help of the Land of the Blessed Land, and that elemental spirits such as wood spirits and water spirits could even be generated naturally in this environment.

She guessed that it was because the "Land of the Elves' Blessed Land" was built around the "Roots of the World Tree," and although the "Roots of the World Tree" did not have the ability to protect the elves, they possessed enough natural power that, under the development of the elves, could greatly improve their lives.

Because of these understandings, Artemis desperately hopes that if the legendary Herod Ruins are indeed the "blessed land of the elves," she can go there and reclaim them, placing them on the floating island of Latis.

If there is anyone in this world worthy of the legacy of the Elves, Ateliers believes that it must be Latis.

So for the past two days she has been thinking about when to ask Latis to go with her. The reason she doesn’t go alone is for two reasons.

Firstly, the "Land of the Elves" is not so easily stolen or destroyed by outsiders, but if she were alone, she would most likely not be able to escape unscathed in front of everyone.

Secondly, she estimated that even if she used all her magic, she wouldn't be able to move the "Land of the Elves' Blessed Land" to the floating island, so she needed the all-powerful Latis in her eyes to come up with a solution.

"……I see."

Latis stroked the head of the petite Arte and fell into thought.

This trip is definitely a must. Regardless of how powerful the World Tree roots are, just the fact that they represent Arte's childhood memories makes it imperative to retrieve them.

After all, the traces left by the elves in this world are becoming fewer and fewer.

The problem is whether there is enough time. There are still two days before the arrival of the noble examiner Carter Sham in Lundia. Titania City is currently only a framework of the outer city, and the construction resources promised by the broker lady are estimated to take another day to arrive.
