The villain daughter did all kinds of things

“Once you and Her Majesty the Queen of Shangying get married, the diplomatic relations between our Allen Federation and Shangying will inevitably be upgraded. Then, it will be somewhat inconvenient to have to cross the White Sea every time people travel, won’t it? The establishment of a remote teleportation portal is essential.”

"However, one should always be wary of others. Even if you, Uncle, become a prince of Shangying Kingdom, the Federation must still maintain basic vigilance towards Shangying Kingdom, and the same applies to Shangying Kingdom itself."

"In this way, the direct teleportation portal between the Allen Federation and the Shangying Kingdom must not be built in the central area of ​​the two countries, in case the two countries ever go to war, elite teams can use the teleportation portal to directly attack the heart of the other side."

"I don't care where the teleportation portal to Shangying Kingdom will be built, but as for the teleportation portal to the Allen Federation... Uncle, don't you think Locke City would be a good fit?"

"So, little Ellie, you've got your eye on the teleportation portal between the Federation and Shangying!"

Milaine then looked enlightened, and after thinking for a moment, she gave Emery a thumbs-up once again:

"That's great, Ellie, you have some great ideas... If the portal to Shangying Kingdom is really established in Locke City, then Locke City will become a transportation hub connecting the ancient Eastern Kingdom, the Allen Federation, and the Elf Kingdom! Just for this reason alone, Locke City is destined to take off!"

"Hmm~~"

Emery nodded smugly at first, then smiled and asked again:

"So Uncle, you'll say yes, right?"

"I have no problem agreeing to that, anyway, it doesn't matter to me where the portal is built."

Milaine readily agreed at first, then added a reminder:

“But this is no small matter. Even if I am directly involved, the location of the teleportation portal on the Federation side is not something I can decide on my own.”

"It's okay, Uncle, as long as you agree first."

Emery, on the other hand, was quite confident:

"I will also find a way to get the others to agree."

"Alright, Ellie, as long as you're confident in your abilities."

Milley shrugged:

"After I return to Shangying and get married to Xiaoxue, I will formally discuss this matter with her."

. . . . .

After the first day's duel was forcibly suppressed halfway through, Milain spent two more days playing around Locke City before challenging Julia to a second duel.

This time, they didn't fight inside Locke City, fearing that another fight would escalate and anger Amelie. Instead, they set up the battlefield on the sea south of the Federation and even issued a warning to fishermen and shipping vessels in advance.

With thorough preparation, the two fought to their hearts' content, the aftershocks of the battle almost creating a storm on the sea.

Fortunately, Amelie had anticipated this, and she instructed Viliana and Idelie to lead the elven mages to use magic to intervene in the weather, ensuring that the storm at sea would not affect the land, or at least not cause any damage to the coastal towns.

After a satisfying fight, Yulia finally released all the anger she had been holding in, and she looked much more refreshed.

Milain had a good time relieving his boredom. After the fight, he returned to the shipyard of Melson Magic Workshop that very night to continue overseeing the construction of his dowry.

Several more days passed in this way.

That night, Emerald first used water magic to knock Julia out and make her fall asleep, then she favored Marcy, Viliana, and Surina in turn before lazily walking into the bathroom to take a bath.

"Ok?"

However, as soon as she put her calves into the bath, Emerald realized something was wrong.

Many wealthy heiresses like to add various things to their bathwater. Some like to use milk, some like to use red wine, and some like to sprinkle flower petals in the water.

Amelie didn't have these hobbies. Although her bathwater wasn't pure water, it was mineral water collected from the mountains or underground, and it looked quite clear, no different from pure water.

But now the bathtub is filled with many flower petals, rose petals, and each petal smells very sweet.

"Oh wow~~"

It was easy for Emery to guess what was going on.

She didn't point it out, but continued into the bath, immersing her entire body below the neck in the warm water, leaning against the edge of the pool, and comfortably closing her eyes.

At first, the pool of water inexplicably had many more rose petals, and apart from being more fragrant, it seemed no different from other pools.

But soon, even though there was no one else in the water except Emery, she felt the water in the bath squeezing her with a very subtle force, like giving her a massage—it felt quite comfortable.

Amelie didn't refuse; instead, she closed her eyes and began to enjoy it, occasionally letting out comfortable moans.

However, the bathwater in the tub was clearly somewhat inexperienced, and before long, Emery couldn't help but offer some pointers:

"Wrong, wrong, it's this way, Flora... Yes, a little lower, push!"

Gumbling.

When Emerald finally revealed Flora's name, the bathwater suddenly began to bubble as if boiling, and eventually, a person miraculously came to life in the water.

Flora emerged from the water, her face completely red, and covered her eyes as if trying to hide her embarrassment, not daring to look at Emerald.

Emerald, however, remained calm. She first took Flora's wrist and pulled her to sit down beside her, then smiled and asked:

"I remember your best magic is fire, space, and curses, right? But I saw that you used the water elemental incarnation move just now quite well... If it weren't for the obvious rose petal effect of your innate magic, I wouldn't have realized so quickly that you had turned into water and were hiding in my bathwater."

As Amelie began to talk about magic, Flora immediately became less shy and raised her head like a proud swan:

"I'm only most proficient in fire, space, and curse magic. In reality, my innate magic allows me to learn and master any kind of magic. I'm the first mage in human history to be proficient in all types of magic like an elf! ... Of course, that's just in theory, because I don't know that many spells yet, and I only recently started practicing water magic."

"Oh? Flora, you've started practicing water magic recently? That's perfect... I also have some experience with water magic, shall we exchange ideas?"

With a smile, Amelie reached out and gently pulled Flora into her arms.

Flora became even more shy, her face turning bright red, but instead of struggling or running away, she mustered her courage and nodded:

"That's exactly what I was thinking! Let me experience your water magic for myself, Emerald!"

"Let's go then~~"

Whoosh!

The intense exchange of water magic resumed once again, this time in the bathroom.

Flora, a novice in water magic who had just begun her training, was clearly no match for Emerald. She was completely overwhelmed by Emerald with almost no resistance.

After their exchange of water magic ended, the two did not rush to leave the bath. Instead, they remained quietly soaking by the tub, with Flora as docile as a kitten that had just finished eating.

Emery stroked Flora for a while like petting a cat, then chuckled and spoke:

"Tell me, how did you suddenly decide to come to me to learn water magic?"

"...Because I want to become stronger."

After a brief silence, Flora took a deep breath:

"At first, I wasn't convinced by you, and I even arrogantly challenged you."

“But now, I definitely won’t think that way anymore… You’re amazing. Not only did you become a Fusion Stage powerhouse at such a young age, but you also helped those around you grow rapidly. Yulia was able to transform from an ordinary girl into a top powerhouse in just two years. Besides her own exceptional talent, your nurturing and investment in her were also indispensable.”

“I also want to become stronger, which is why I will follow you… But seeing the women around you growing so quickly, I realize that if I want to be like that too, it’s not enough to just design and make some clothes for you; I also need to sleep with you.”

"So... I'm coming tonight."

After saying this, Flora hugged Emerald tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Oh~~ So, Sweetheart, you want to become stronger~~"

Emery didn't seem surprised at all. She continued to stroke Flora with one hand while rubbing her chin with the other, as if deep in thought.

"To be honest, my research on the path of magicians is not as profound as that of mages. Besides, Flora, you are already very talented. Even without my help, it won't be difficult for you to advance to the level of archmages in a few years."

"But I... um!"

Flora was about to say that she couldn't wait a few more years and wanted to complete her promotion this year, but before she could say it, Emerald shut her up.

The two maintained the same breathing rhythm for a few more moments before Emery raised her head in satisfaction and licked her lips.

"However, if Flora is really eager to become stronger, it's not impossible."

There's an old saying in an ancient Eastern country: "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." I think there's some truth to that.

"Flora, you have studied diligently at the Lohid Magic Academy for so many years, and you must have read enough magic books, but you have hardly ever left home, and you have even less real combat experience."

"The sparring sessions you had with the teachers and elders at school, and the battles you fought with the monsters you were captured, are still quite different from real combat."

"So... when I go to Shangying Kingdom, east of the White Sea, on business in a few days, Flora, you can come with me. Broaden your horizons, and who knows, you might just encounter a breakthrough opportunity?"

"Going to Shangying Kingdom with you? Okay, I understand."

Flora behaved very obediently and did not question Emery's words at all.

During her time with Emerald, it's unlikely she fell head over heels in love with her, but she was certainly impressed by Emerald's talents.

Although Emery claimed to know little about the training of magicians, every time she gave Flora a few casual pointers, Flora benefited greatly from them.

After all, those were all Flora usage experiences summarized by countless veteran players from Emery's previous life.

Flora was unaware of Emerald's past life memories, but she had heard that Emerald's innate magic was suspected to be precognitive.

If someone who seems to be able to foresee the future tells you where your breakthrough opportunity might appear, and you're willing to climb into their bathtub to achieve that breakthrough, would you refuse?

It's impossible to refuse.

Flora's trip to Shangying Kingdom was thus decided.

. . . . .

After that night, Flora's attitude toward Emerald did not change significantly. It seemed that she was still just Emerald's fashion designer, except that Emerald would often find rose petals inexplicably in the bathwater.

And so, there was almost a month left until the New Year. Milaine's dowry magic warship had entered the final debugging stage, and Bobo and Lulu would soon be finishing their winter break and starting school.

That morning, Emerald was sitting in her Sulina chair reading documents when her office door was suddenly pushed open, and a little pink-haired girl rushed in.

"I did it! I did it! I really did it! Wahahahahaha!"

The person who arrived was Bobo. She was still wearing a cute little dress, but in her excitement, she almost lost control of her falsetto. At her loudest, her voice was noticeably rougher, like a boy's.

Emery didn't seem to care, she just raised an eyebrow:

"Oh? Popo, you actually made that kind of magical device?"

Actually, Emerald was quite surprised, because in the past month, Suzuran hadn't given Poppo any hints at all, and all the research was done by Poppo himself.

Although Emerald had already shared the general technical ideas with Bobo in advance, selecting suitable materials from so many resources and then conducting trial and error was still a very difficult task. Normally, a month would not be enough, and only artificial intelligence like Suzuran, which can use data to perform rapid calculations and deductions, could do it.

Now, Popo has actually succeeded too.

This shows that although Bobo's talent is not as monstrous as that of old man Langdon, he is still extremely outstanding among geniuses. At least his intuition is very accurate and his luck is quite good. Otherwise, he would not have been able to actually make that kind of magical device in a month.

"Come on, take me to see it."

This matter is equally important to Emerald. As long as Bobo creates and publishes a prototype first, Emerald can immediately have Suzuran create a better one.

Bobo certainly wouldn't refuse; he came to see Emerald to show her the results.

The two soon arrived at the studio that Emerald had prepared especially for Bobo. On a workbench in the studio, Emerald immediately saw Bobo's latest work.

Judging from its overall design, that magical device is also a magical gun, only larger, somewhat resembling a bolt-action rifle from World War I and II on Earth.

Above the magic gun, roughly where the Blue Star rifle mounts its scope, there is a disc about 5 centimeters in diameter. The disc is precisely divided into 36 small fan-shaped sections of equal size by magic patterns, and each small fan-shaped section is inscribed with the name of a spell.

Chapter 241 Testing New Technologies

click!

Under Bobo's tense and excited gaze, Emery pulled the trigger.

At this moment, the pointer on the small disc above the magic gun is positioned at the [Fireball] mark.

puff.

boom!

At first, only a few flames shot out from the muzzle of the magic gun, like a lighter on Earth that was struck but failed to light.

But immediately, the energy of dozens of small flames combined at the muzzle, eventually forming a fireball the size of a watermelon that flew out and successfully hit the target not far away, burning the wooden target to ashes in a few seconds.

"Ah."

Emerald watched as the last embers on the target's ashes died out, and nodded gently.

"Although there is a delay of about 600 milliseconds from pulling the trigger to the magic being released, the power and controllability of the magic are up to standard, which is not bad."

"Great!"

Bobo jumped up excitedly.

He has never worked as hard as he has this month in his entire life, spending almost all his time in the office except for eating and sleeping.

But as long as I can gain my sister's approval, all the hard work will be worth it.
