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

"Your words are quite eloquent, but I remain cautious about what the future holds. You are the last of the elves and the last of the Titans. You must walk your own path. I can only offer you some advice."

"Oh? I'm all ears." Latis immediately sat up straight.

"First, wait until you reach a higher level before making any plans for the future," Orianna said seriously.

"The higher level is not just an improvement in strength; it is also a stepping stone for any power on this continent. Only by reaching this level of strength can one be taken seriously by them."

Without considering how long it would take Latis to reach the high rank, she continued without pausing:

"Upon reaching a higher level, you can also 'adapt' to the environment to a certain extent. This is difficult for mid-level mages to understand. You can simply think of it as the world subtly issuing you spiritual warnings, and the strength of these warnings is related to your affinity with magic elements."

"As for magical research and such, that depends entirely on your own intelligence, so I won't elaborate here." Orianna continued, a hint of anticipation in her eyes:

"The most important thing I want to tell you today is the Mage Tower."

"A mage tower?" Latis glanced at the half-elf beside him and asked.

"Is this our Herod Mage Tower?"

“No, I meant your mage tower, Titan.” Orianna shook her head and asked:

"Once you reach a higher level, do you plan to build your mage tower within the elven mage territory?"

“…Yes.” Latis scratched his head and asked:

Does this violate the rules of the Mage Association?

“No, the association only forbids mages from forcibly piecing together multiple mage territories regardless of the terrain,” Orianna said.

"But I still recommend that you separate your mage tower."

"Why?" Latis asked, frowning. "That way, it won't be convenient for me to go home and see my wife."

"..."

Orianna's fists cracked, and she glanced at Latis, a hint of murderous intent in her eyes, and said:

"Don't think I don't know how lewd you Titans are, hehe... I have something else to say. If you are going to take the initiative to attack various forces in the future, you'd better cut ties with the Herod Mage's territory before you become famous in Lundia."

“Cutting? How could I…” Latis started to say, but then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he asked:

"Your Excellency, do you mean you recommend that I assume two identities?"

“I underestimated your intelligence.” Orianna gave Latis another once-over, then nodded and said:

"So far, the name 'Latis' only exists in the archives of the three schools. The only people who know you are the principals of the three schools and your teachers. The other mages have not yet associated this name with you."

“My suggestion is that Latis, as a student, remain within the territory of the Herod mage, while Latis Titania, as a high-ranking mage, should live a secluded life in a new mage tower. This way, even if you are pursued by powerful forces in the future, your family will not be in immediate danger.”

"...That sounds like a good idea."

Latis and Artemis exchanged a glance and fell into deep thought.

“The mage Herod will continue to operate as your rear base, while your mage tower will face scrutiny from those external forces.”

Orianna smiled slightly and said calmly:

"Furthermore, compared to 'Latis,' the nobles have more faith in the named 'Latis Titania.' I'll then help you downplay your student status, so you can confidently break free from the invisible constraints of the Kingdom of Norard."

"Latis Titania? That's the mysterious mage who bears the title of Titan..."

Latis pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Lady Orianna, I would like to ask, why are you helping me in this way?"

“It’s not ‘we,’ it’s me,” Orianna corrected, then explained:

"The reason why Lundia has always been regarded as the magical capital in the hearts of mages is not only because of the existence of mages themselves, but also because the Mage Association strictly carries out the work of protecting mages."

"The Mage Guild is not simply the personal will of Orianna, but the collective will of all mages. It cannot arbitrarily side with any one faction, nor can it excessively guide the power struggles of this kingdom. Although I am free, once I become the symbol of the Mage Guild, I can no longer do as I please."

"So, Your Excellency needs someone to work for you?" Latis asked.

Orianna nodded, then shook her head, and said:

“I have a premonition of a danger that concerns the survival of Londia. It may be ten years from now, or it may be five years from now, but I cannot sense any more. Therefore, I need a trustworthy person to stir things up so that I can see a clue from it.”

Latis immediately envisioned the future of the Queen launching the Magic Network Landing Campaign, but since he hadn't faced the campaign head-on during the simulation, he couldn't be sure what details he should pay attention to.

"Furthermore, as an elven 'apprentice,' you are learning the old-school path of a mage, free from the constraints of the magic network, which gives you an advantage over others..."

Orianna's voice continued to explain when suddenly, Ateliers interrupted as if she had remembered something:

"By the way, sir! Speaking of the magic network, when I was on a mission in Dragonhorn Territory, I discovered that they had captured a very strange mage. The objects emanating from his body could trigger the magic network, and Black Hat also said that this thing would be of great use..."

Latis snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Ateliers, only to see her put on gloves, take a key from the dimensional rift, and place it on the table.

His pupils dilated in shock. This key was the access key for the magic network sorcerers under the goddess's command, also known as "cyber police"!

“This is…” Latis murmured unconsciously.

"The Magic Network Key?"

Orianna picked up the key with a hint of shock. After a moment of silence, her expression gradually calmed. She turned to look at Latis, who still wore a look of surprise, and asked in a deep voice:

"Titan, do you recognize this thing?"

Chapter 300 The Mage Leads a Major Level Up

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Latis's mind.

As a legend from the same era as Emperor Pova, Orianna should know many secrets, so it's normal that she had seen the Magic Key.

But what is her attitude towards this? The Magic Network Key is a symbol of being directly appointed by the Goddess as a cyber police officer. The cyber police officer has the underlying authority of the Magic Network, which means he controls the lifeline of the mages. As the protector of the mages, Orianna should be wary of the existence of the cyber police officer.

However, the mages' future is closely tied to the magic network, and given this premise, it's unlikely that Orianna would oppose the goddess.

Latis pondered for a few seconds, looking at the serious expression on Oriana's face, and considering the possible relationship between her and Emperor Pova, he still felt it was worth testing the waters.

"Should I...know him?" he said, scratching his head.

Orianna raised an eyebrow, took a serious look at Latis's expression, and couldn't help but retort:

"If you know someone, you know them; if you don't, you don't. What's the point of 'having to know them'?"

Latis chuckled twice and said cautiously:

"If I can get to know them, I will; if I can't, I won't."

“You…” Orianna finally understood what Latis was talking about. She sighed deeply, rubbed her forehead, and said:

"You can get to know them."

“I know it.” Latis chuckled, picked up the key from the table, and examined it.

The key felt cool to the touch, just like a normally forged key, except that there was a faint flow of magical energy on its surface, which disappeared the moment I gripped it.

Latis felt a magical connection transfer from the key's surface to his body, as if some ineffable will had landed there from afar.

A surge of power excited him, but the disastrous experience of synchronizing the key in the simulation quickly suppressed his impulse. He placed the key back on the table, sensing that wisp of will vanish in an instant, then nodded slightly and said:

"I do know him."

Ateliers glanced at Orianna, then at Latis, a hint of confusion in her gentle eyes, and couldn't help but ask:

"Um... what are you talking about?"

"Oh, I forgot you, the elf, are still here." Orianna crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and then asked Latis:

"What we're about to talk about is closely related to you, and it might not be appropriate for others to hear it."

Latis understood the meaning behind Orianna's words. Instead of agreeing, he smiled, took the half-elf's hand, and said firmly:

“Ate is my second self. She deserves to know all my deepest secrets. This little thing is nothing at all.”

Orianna's throat tightened, and she glanced at Latis with disbelief, frowning as she said:

"Boy, even Emperor Powdala never said such a thing. You wouldn't say that to every woman, would you?"

"This, this is still different!" Latis couldn't help but complain:

"Old Deng is Old Deng, and I am me!"

“What Big Brother said is true.” Artemis watched the scene with a slight smile and interjected earnestly.

"What do you mean, 'real' or 'fake'... Who asked you that?" Orianna waved her hand irritably and said.

"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy. Don't say these things to torment this old man."

Latis's brow twitched, and seeing Orianna's expression, he suddenly understood. He smiled to himself, raised the hand he was holding from Arte, and placed it on the table.

"?"

Orianna's eye twitched. She looked at Latis, slammed her hand on the table, and burst into a tirade:

"Are you looking for death?! Are you crazy?!"

"No, right?" Latis grinned, feigning ignorance, and twitched his fingers, flipping Atelius's small hand back onto the face, saying:

"I just wanted to show you our couple rings. Oh, I'm still thinking of having Ate remade, adding more advanced magic, so that she'll be covered in jewelry I gave her."

"..."

Orianna glanced at Latis expressionlessly, then with a flick of her finger, a surge of magical energy removed the matching rings from their hands.

"Kid, don't worry, I'll help you rebuild it. You'd better find a suitable piece of land to build a mage tower before you reach the higher rank, the farther away from Herod Mage Territory the better."

"Hey—can't take a joke, huh?" Latis looked at his bare ring finger and couldn't help but complain.

"Alright, big brother, be good. Lady Orianna still has something to say." The half-elf, with a tight smile, led Latis back under the table.

"……Correct."

Orianna took a deep breath, intending to retort, but the half-elf's interruption broke her deadly rhythm, leaving her with nothing but sullen silence.

"This little girl is no pushover either... No way, these two brats are making me so angry I'm going to die young. I need to finish this quickly and go somewhere cool and quiet."

She mentally grumbled a bit, rubbing the wedding rings in her hands, somewhat regretting her impulsiveness. But since she'd already taken them, as an elder, she couldn't just let it go. She could only sigh, put the rings away, and say:

"Back to the topic we were discussing, since you've decided to let her know, I'm not going to bother with all this anymore. Just listen to what I have to say."

……

……

Half an hour later, Latis and Arte came out of the room, looked at each other, and fell into deep thought.
