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

Latis nodded without changing his expression and said:

"Brother Niu is the original character, so you can't just draw him randomly."

……

……

"These hot springs are distributed according to their temperature."

Seeing that the hot springs had been set up in a well-organized manner, Artemis activated her magic, causing the trees within the "Hot Spring Forest" area to grow rapidly.

"Lord Herod, is this enough?"

As Yin Xiuer used magic to manipulate the activated shears to prune the gradually flourishing forest, she asked hesitantly:

"Perhaps people aren't very familiar with me yet. I think maybe I should wait a while longer..."

"It's alright, Ms. Yin. Also, you can just call me Ate."

Artemis watched as the forest path gradually took shape, and said with a faint smile:

"It's called a meeting, but there's not much going on. Although this mage territory is nominally called Herod Mage Territory, it was actually purchased by my elder brother. He is the backbone of all of us and the true owner of this mage territory."

Her ears twitched slightly, she reached up and brushed the ends of her hair that were resting on her collarbone behind her back, and then continued:

"I only need to state this much: here, we are first and foremost my brother's family, and only secondly do we develop a closer relationship because of this or that affection. They've actually known this for a long time, but they've never mentioned it privately... Strange, how come everyone knows I'm a girl..."

Silver Hugh tightened the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the bewildered expression in Artemis's azure eyes.

When Silvers first met Artemis, he genuinely thought that Latis's mentor was male. After all, the half-elf had a handsome face, a somewhat boyish voice, and dressed like a teenager.

However, after spending more time with her, Yin Xiuer became quite certain that she must be a lovely girl. Her delicate mind was evident in every action she took, not to mention the meticulous care she showed to the mage and the others.

"Lord Herod... Arte, what a wonderful mentor..."

Silverswell sighed softly, having to admit that although he might be more knowledgeable than Art, Art was definitely a mentor who could help Latis more thoughtfully in life.

"Teacher Yin, you're great too, it's just that you're not confident enough in yourself!"

Artemis looked at SilverShre, who seemed a little unsure of what to do, and after thinking for a moment, comforted him:

"Anyway... if you'd like to move here, that would be wonderful. Little Bird likes you a lot too. I noticed you really enjoyed the desserts from the Mage's Territory. I'm sure you'll get used to life here very quickly."

"I know I'll really like it here."

Yin Xiuer recalled the cramped apartment at No. 21 Tianhai Street, then compared it to the paradise-like place in Herod Mage's territory, and couldn't help but sigh, muttering:

"We've fallen for this place so quickly..."

Artemis blinked, then pulled Silversher over the overlapping trees to a hot spring. She knelt down to test the temperature and smiled:

"Teacher Yin, take a look and see if it suits your taste."

"Eh?" SilverShul knelt down curiously beside Ateliers, dipped his hand into the hot spring, then closed his eyes contentedly and said:

"It feels so good... I've never been to a hot spring before in my life..."

Artemis stood up with a smile, put her hands behind her back, looked up at the autumn night sky, and said warmly:

Whether a life is right for you or not, you have to try to find out. As for what the future holds, I think it will require everyone's joint efforts.

"Big brother has his reasons, and I have my own reasons. I'm sure Teacher Yin will have different reasons as well. But no matter what, I hope to stay with you all. There may be bitterness and longing, but as long as I'm by Big Brother's side, everything will be alright."

"Hmm... Arte, what you said makes a lot of sense..."

Silvershur's soft voice echoed around the hot spring, but received no reply. She turned her head in surprise and found that the half-elf had quietly left without her noticing.

"Ate is really mature..."

She realized that the half-elf had given her time to think, and under this silent care, she felt a warm feeling in her heart, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

Are we all together...?

As Yin Xiuer gazed at the bright silver moon reflected on the surface of the hot spring, he couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive, like someone returning home with a sense of trepidation, towards the warmth he had longed for.

After a long while, she stood up, untied her half-length shawl, reached behind her to unzip her long dress, and let the heavy dress fall onto the clean lawn.

Then, her body trembled slightly, and she reached out and snapped open the clasp of her undershirt.

Her taut bare feet gently touched the hot spring water, and amidst the ripples, a hint of anticipation flashed across Yin Xiu'er's slightly flushed face. Somewhat clumsily, she extended her toes and slid into the warmth.

Take a few days off

I was so busy before the New Year. I had to buy all sorts of things and do a thorough house cleaning like a maid. After driving back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, I have to visit all sorts of relatives. Luckily, I lost 15 kilograms this year, otherwise I would have been tortured when I got back.

By the way, I successfully begged the editor for a recommendation, so it seems that Qianjun's cross-dressing might still happen.

In short, updates may resume on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year, and a special New Year's episode will be released on Lunar New Year's Eve. Please look forward to it.

Chapter 305 Special Edition: Fireworks (Part 1)

"Fireworks, could they be a kind of flower?"

Artemis leaned against the spire of the mage tower, gazing at the mage territory covered in a thin layer of snow, lost in thought.

During many of her late-night conversations with Latis, Latis mentioned the word "Spring Festival," and when Atelius asked about the symbol of the Spring Festival, Latis paused for a moment before saying "fireworks."

The continent of Atlantis does not have a Spring Festival. It is not a place with particularly distinct seasons, and not many people can distinguish the time between late winter and early spring. Even the Elven race, which counts the seasons, does not hold the "Flower Dance Festival" until the ice and snow have completely melted, because the flowers have not yet bloomed at the end of winter.

However, considering the seasons, the "Spring Festival" is indeed very close to the "Flower Dance Festival," so Artemis naturally assumes that "fireworks" are also a kind of flower, and the custom of Latis's hometown may also be about watching this flower bloom.

"Everyone gathered together to watch countless fireworks explode in the sky; it was such a lively scene... It's a pity that it's rarely seen since." That's what my older brother said, and I sensed a hint of loneliness in his voice.

Artemis unconsciously rubbed her fingers together, as if recalling the warmth she had felt from Latis's fingertips.

It was a memory that remained vivid even across vast distances of time and space. She and Latis were of one mind, so she could sense a touch of nostalgia in his complex emotions.

Therefore, she wanted to find "fireworks".

However, the biggest problem right now is, where can we find a flower that even an elf like Atelier doesn't recognize?

Artemis's first thought was to consult Frico or Silvershur, as these two gentlemen possessed extremely broad knowledge and might have seen things she was unaware of.

……

"Fireworks? That sounds like something dwarves would make; they always make some kind of smoky stuff."

Silvershur sat on the stone bench in front of Frico's hut, pondered for a moment, and said:

"But I've never seen anything like this when I was a child. Dwarves are definitely not a race that would associate with something as romantic as flowers. Perhaps some groups with dwarven technology would know about similar things."

"Hey, didn't they say the dwarves used to have activities like iron flower displays?" Frico asked curiously, recalling the legends she had heard before.

"I checked, it was actually an accident," Yin Xiuer sighed helplessly and explained.

"As you know, although the dwarves were nominally under the rule of the Dwarf King, in reality, apart from the Dwarf Royal Court, they were scattered throughout various mountain ranges and did not have any particularly large settlements."

"As for the iron sparks, it was actually a mistake that occurred during the construction of the royal court, which caused the container filled with molten iron to fall to the ground, resulting in the scene of sparks shooting into the sky."

"Unfortunately, it was only popular for a short time. The dwarves lost interest in something they could see every day. In fact, judging from the description, iron flowers should have been a very spectacular sight."

"I see, what a pity." Frico looked regretful. She thought for a moment, then turned to Ateliers and said:

"But then again, fireworks might not be real flowers either. Maybe they're like iron flowers, some kind of special product? Hmm, smoke forming... flowers or something?"

“It’s definitely not that simple.” Atelier shook her head. She glanced at the flower field in front of Frico’s house, which was covered by a thin layer of snow. Her azure eyes seemed to hold the promise of an extremely dazzling sea of ​​flowers about to bloom. She whispered:

"That must have been a truly magnificent sight, with the noise of the crowd, the sound of explosions, and the sky filled with colorful flowers. That's what fireworks should look like."

Frico and Silvershur exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Sir, where did you hear the name 'fireworks' from?"

Artemis let out a long breath and said with a slight smile:

“I heard it from my older brother. He seemed to really want to see the fireworks he remembered again, so I wanted to help him find the fireworks he described before the ‘Spring Festival’ he mentioned arrived.”

"Oh, it's the boss..."

Frico's expression instantly turned serious. She nodded knowingly, stroked her chin, and after a moment of contemplation, said:

"It will explode, open in the night sky, and come in all sorts of colors. Hmm... I can look up if there's any related magic. There are quite a few spells that are dazzling with color. If some modifications are made, it should be able to quickly approach the description of fireworks. So, fireworks might be a kind of magic."

“If it’s Little La, then this is very important.” Silver Hugh immediately stood up, casually patted his thick-knit long coat, and before he could even smooth out the wrinkles, he quickly said:

"I'll go back to my mage tower and search those antiques for similar items. I remember that during the period when dwarf and elven culture flourished, there were flower-shaped artifacts in their exchanges. Maybe they could even fly... I'll go look for them!"

"Wait a minute—Gin-sensei!"

Arterifus watched as Silver Hugh teleported away in a flash, and smiled helplessly. She wanted to discuss flower seeds and other topics with Silver Hugh, but it seemed that Silver Hugh had already decided that fireworks were a special kind of craft.

"Teacher Yin is so proactive! It's so good to be young..." Frico laughed too, stretching lazily as she said:

"I don't know why, but I'm getting a little excited too. Boss lady, I'll be going now. As you said, the Spring Festival is just around the corner, so we'd better hurry... I've received such a wonderful life here, so I should give back something in return..."

"Lord Frico, you too..."

Before Artemis could finish her sentence, she saw Frico wink at her, and then she vanished instantly.

"...So decisive."

She paused to finish the last half of the sentence, then shook her head with a wry smile. After a moment of contemplation, she stood up as well.

“Spring…” Artemis looked around the mage territory, which had turned yellow even in the warm climate of Lundia, and suddenly felt a burst of vitality gathering beneath the ordinary surface. With this perception, she knew that the exciting New Year was coming soon, without having to ask nature for a response.

A gentle smile gradually appeared on her face. Having received so much warmth during the past autumn and winter, she wanted to use this entire spring as a gift to Latis, if possible.

"……spring."

Artemis looked up at the clear sky, and the next second, only a thin snowflake remained on the spot, silently turning into a drop of spring water as it fell to the ground.

……

……

Fireworks? Easy!

Yashutia patted her proud chest, revealing a confident smile, and immediately picked up her portable boiler, beginning her enthusiastic alchemy process under the flower stand.

Even in the late winter, she still wore a thin work vest, with a black lab coat over it to highlight her identity as a technical worker.

Her face was flushed, enveloped in a thick cloud of white mist as she exhaled forcefully. Seeing this, she immediately put on her newly developed goggles, gave a thumbs-up, and shouted:

"Five minutes, just five minutes! Get ready to cheer and applaud me, boss!"
