"News headline?"
The intermediate-level mage pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, raised a finger and said:
"How about we call it 'The Birth of a New King'? How about it? Just as appealing as your previous 'Corpse Party,' right?"
"Oh? A mysterious new king has suddenly appeared on the territory of the Kingdom of Norard. His name conceals countless chilling histories, and upon his birth, he will unleash endless war upon the land of Norard..." His companion muttered for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked:
"Isn't this a bit too sensitive? The Emperor wouldn't launch a physical or nuclear attack on us, would he?"
The mid-level mage chuckled, patted his companion on the shoulder, and said:
"How can someone in the news industry be afraid of death and cowardice? Don't worry, even if the iron fist of the capital falls, I will stand with you through it!"
“Haky buddy…you…” His companion’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Alright, that's enough. We need to get to the bottom of this 'King of Titania' thing. If we miss this big news, we might not be so lucky later!"
The mid-level mage touched his now-swelled buttocks and was about to grab a new pair of pants from the dimensional rift when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from not far away.
He paused for a moment, as if realizing something, then quickly rushed towards the bushes, swept aside the tangled branches and leaves, and looked in the direction of Titan Palace.
"...Holy crap?!"
The mid-level mage's eyes widened suddenly. Without even changing his new pants, he grabbed his companion and stumbled off into a frantic run.
"Damn it, the big news has grown legs and run away!"
……
……
"We should be getting close..."
Yashutia tidied her slightly messy shoulder-length hair, took out a compass-like object, and pondered over the two pointers on it.
This is a new tool developed under the guidance of alchemy, borrowing from the traditional compass. The two pointers point to the north and the direction of the Herod Mage's territory respectively, so Yashutia has no worries about getting lost in the wild.
Judging from the current angle of the pointer, they should be approaching the due east of Lundia. Once the angle becomes 90 degrees, she can turn and head towards Lundia, and find a suitable place to build a cemetery in the forest east of Lundia.
After that, we can take Latis to that area and build a mage tower.
Yashutia confidently put away her compass, completely unaware that Latis had already set off.
In her mind, she was still dreaming of "Yashutia offering up the treasure land at night and successfully becoming the empress of the harem".
She glanced at Camby Nash, who was resting not far away, and pondered for a moment.
Not long ago, they were indeed attacked by the "Forest Demon Wolves," but after licking the dead man's buttocks, the wolves, unable to sense any living blood, left in boredom, leaving behind only the dead man's team's curses.
It was truly blasphemous; even she couldn't bear to watch it.
Yashutia shook her head; her main concern now was how to deal with the wizard, Cambinash.
After spending a few days together, she discovered that although Cambinash was a wizard, he didn't really like killing. In other words, his habit was to only collect the souls of monsters that were on the verge of death. This completely overturned Yashutia's understanding of wizards.
...That being said, she didn't really know much about wizards. This was the first wizard Yashutia had ever met. She simply assumed that wizards must be bloodthirsty because she grew up in Yanium and fought with villains since childhood.
However, based on what we've seen so far, the real wizards seem more like characters who get close to death to find the essence of life than the murderers who cause death, rather than the wizards she imagined.
During the conversation, Kambinash also mentioned that the Wizard God was actually a good person. He saved many souls that should have disappeared into the ethereal world and kept them in the "Sanctuary," which is the Wizard God's Life Box, waiting to create suitable bodies before "manually reincarnating" those souls.
Even Camby Nash herself experienced a "reincarnation," except that her memories were not interrupted.
Therefore, Kambinash greatly admired the sorcerer god. Without the sorcerer god, her soul would have long since dissipated, instead of being able to walk alive on the earth.
Besides these mind-blowing insights for Yashutia, Kambinash also diligently managed the Dead Squad along the way. Even after being thoroughly manipulated by Yashutia, she didn't complain at all, like an old cow or a horse that had been thoroughly seasoned.
Thinking about this, Yashutia couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. She originally thought that Kambinash was a bad guy like the Black Hat organization and planned to scam him and leave, but she didn't expect that his background was actually not bad... However, she really wanted to steal that so-called witch god power and give it to Latis, so she was now in a dilemma.
To be honest, Yashutia herself knew that she had become too reliant on violence to combat violence. When she encountered bad people, she would always strike back with heavy blows instantly. Whether it was burning, killing, looting, or cheating and swindling, she would not hesitate for a moment.
However, this heavy blow inadvertently landed on a neutral unit like Cambynash, leaving Yashutia somewhat embarrassed.
She scratched her head in frustration, thinking that in the future, in order to avoid accidentally hurting her allies, she should be a little more rational. As for now, she might have to treat Cambinesh in a different way.
"I don't know what to do... I'll have to ask my older brother for help later..."
Yashutia sighed, having to admit that she was rather slow-witted when it came to dealing with interpersonal issues, while Atelius was much better at it.
The plan to usurp the throne and become the mistress of the harem is indeed still a long and arduous journey...
Yashutia turned to look at Kambinash, who was resting, and was about to wake her up to join her when a sharp whooshing sound came from not far away. Yashutia immediately turned around and climbed to the treetop, looking at the tiger-like monsters leaping between the treetops not far away.
Could he be the overlord of this area's monsters?
With a heavy heart, she climbed down the tree, intending to immediately go and call Cambinash to hide together. They didn't have much magic left in their bodies, and the wizard's physical strength wasn't strong either. If they lost their lives to a monster, it would be a huge loss!
However, before she could even call out to Cambynash, she saw a long tail hanging down from the tree. Following the brown and yellow stripes upwards, she saw the tiger-like monster that had been darting through the canopy!
Chapter 350 Latis is a Winner Who Doesn't Strike While Lying Down
"Ouch, wait, be gentle, be gentle, be gentle..."
Latis lay on a bed, his face contorted in pain, his back bare, being brutally whipped by his trainer.
The other puppets surrounded him, some exchanging bewildered glances, creating an awkward silence. However, the occasional flashes of magical light on their bodies seemed to suggest that they were not at peace in private.
The puppet codenamed "The Seeker" stood in front of a control panel, gazing at the magical map before it while steering the Titan Palace toward the point marked by Latis on the map.
Silver Hugh glanced at the visitor, then at Latis, hesitating for a long time. He adjusted his glasses, then walked somewhat worriedly to the decision-maker and asked:
"Miss Decision Maker, um, is Xiao La alright?..."
The decision-maker glanced at Silver Shul, who was slightly smaller than the puppet machine, and, quite unusually, scratched his chin with his alchemical fingers before hesitantly replying:
"I guess so……"
SilverShuffle took off his glasses, sighed, smoothed his slightly messy long hair, grabbed a chair, and sat down in front of Latis.
"Oh, haha, Ms. Yin, haha, this is a little embarrassing..."
Latis raised his head, hissing as he was whipped by the trainer, and grinned menacingly.
Silverswell felt even more helpless. She reached out and gently cupped Latis's face, whispering with a hint of reproach:
"Xiao La, you can't say things like 'Since we're already here' next time..."
Lattis couldn't hold back for a moment, and with a bitter smile, he said:
"Well, we're already here..."
The reason why this scene appeared in the side hall of the imperial palace was indeed because of this sentence.
After Silvershurs made brief initial repairs to the palace's infrastructure, Latis planned to activate the palace and head towards the city of Titania, which he had chosen in the simulation, while having the puppets help him activate his bloodline power along the way.
With the infusion of Yin Xiu'er's full magical power, the palace's operation proceeded smoothly. However, Yin Xiu'er, whose magical power was temporarily depleted, was unable to do anything for the time being and could only continue with more detailed and in-depth repairs after reaching the destination.
Seeing that the Seeker was very skilled at steering, Latis felt reassured and approached the Decision Maker, expressing his desire to borrow the Trainer's power to activate various warrior abilities.
The decision-maker was surprised for a while as to how her new master knew everything, but since she had already become the master, she did not hesitate and directly gave orders to the trainer.
However, before the activation began, Latis suggested something like, "Since we're already here, I might as well drink Great-Grandma's potion too." The decision-maker hesitated for a long time but still suggested that Latis should first have the trainer activate the abilities of the ordinary warriors, and then use the potion to let the Titan bloodline integrate those warrior abilities.
Therefore, in order to protect his already diminished image, Latis still planned to drink the "potion made by his great-grandmother" directly, activating both his Titan bloodline and his warrior abilities. This way, the warrior abilities might be immediately refined by the Titan bloodline once activated, thus avoiding the various bizarre displays of abilities.
However, he forgot one thing: before coming here, he had taken an excessive amount of dragon crystals...
So, when the trainer attached the tentacles in his palm to Latis's body, he immediately witnessed a breathtaking scene: within Latis's body, an excess of dragon power was fiercely battling against the Titan bloodline, which had become somewhat deranged due to the consumption of expired potions!
No, that's not right either. After all, it's all the power within their own bodies, and there's no irreconcilable conflict between them. Rather than a fight, it's more like... training!
Titans and dragons originally belonged to the same faction, and their powers had an innate affinity. When they shared the same master, they were even more harmonious. However, these two powers were destined to merge, but when both were extremely powerful, it was very difficult to force them to merge into one.
Under these circumstances, these two forces, who were struggling with what to do, suddenly seemed to have grasped some deep-rooted "Brother Niu" ideology. Under the guidance of Brother Niu's principles, they launched a vigorous large-scale education and training movement!
Faced with this situation, even seasoned trainers with decades of experience were momentarily stunned. Who could possibly nurture two forces within their own body, thereby generating a completely new power through fusion? Her new master had done it! Terrifyingly so!
However, the trainer soon realized something was wrong.
Because both forces felt they were in the dominant position, they unknowingly transitioned into a fencing-like state.
However, two cows can't have offspring!
Except for those in the blocky world.
Therefore, the trainer's task quickly became to choose one of these two forces as the dominant force, and to eliminate the dominance of the other force, so that they could merge with each other.
This is also a bit difficult for the trainer, since although she was created to perform bloodline restoration and treatment for the descendants of the Titans, this is the first time she has encountered this situation.
Based on her familiarity with the Titan bloodline, she immediately decided to make the Titan bloodline the primary focus, using the various warrior abilities of this new master as bullets fired by the Titan bloodline to calm down the dragon's power.
With this decision, the trainer quickly activated the warrior abilities that had been lingering in various parts of Latis's body and had not yet been fully integrated into muscle memory, causing them to join the ranks of the Titan bloodline and stimulating the Titan bloodline's bull brother to grow stronger and stronger.
Good news: Latis no longer needs to worry about the various physical anomalies that occur when the trainers activate the abilities of the warriors.
The bad news was that it eventually turned into a scene of being whipped by the disciplined person.
It's hard to say which is more embarrassing...
However, the "whip" of the trainer is actually a set of tentacles integrated into her palm, not a real whip. Being hit with it feels soft and slippery, and it actually feels quite good...
Even in front of the pure and innocent Gin-sensei, Latis dared not show any signs of enjoyment, lest Gin-sensei think he was a pervert.
But then again, if Teacher Yin, wanting to cater to her own preferences, were to learn these techniques from the dominatrix, wouldn't she be enjoying herself even more?
Never mind, image is more important...
Latis's face was tense. He closed his eyes and began to feel the intense fusion of power within his body.
To be honest, he didn't have a deep understanding of the warrior system. He only knew that these so-called "warrior abilities" would stagnate in various parts of the body after being comprehended, and would only become "muscle memory" and be integrated into one's bloodline after frequent use. At that time, when encountering a situation, there would be no need to think about which ability to use, and the body would naturally respond.
For example, currently when he uses "Liquid Shock," he still needs to gather his strength and focus his energy in his dantian, expending a certain amount of force to activate this ability. But if he uses it so often that it becomes muscle memory, then when he's bothered by flies while using the toilet, he can instantly launch a precise nuclear strike. He can not only fire a single shot, but also fire two separate shots, or even spray like a machine gun...
Combat techniques that become muscle memory consume very little of a warrior's bloodline power. As for those combat techniques that are "passively activated," such as "extreme starvation," they do not require any resources at all and will take effect naturally.
As for now, Latis is slowly experiencing the feeling of warrior abilities flowing into his blood.
Perhaps because these abilities are acquired from simulations, just like spells that dissolve instantly upon contact with the mouth, the warrior's abilities melt away very quickly, becoming muscle memory almost instantly.
In the simulation, he had ventured into the realm of the Demon Warrior class several times, but because the simulated memories did not delve too deeply into those details, he always only had a superficial understanding.
For example, in the last simulation, the Mage Guild ultimately embarked on the path of magic warriors because they wanted to inscribe the runes of spells onto their souls to get rid of the burden of casting mediums. For this reason, they chose to strengthen their bodies with magic essence at the same time to protect the stability of their souls and bear more spells.
This is certainly a state of a demon warrior, but Latis had also heard in earlier simulations that ancient demon warriors actually possessed many demon combat techniques. These techniques were engraved in their bodies, and once activated, they had both the effects of magic and the power of their bloodline and flesh.
However, this seems a bit strange.
