Chapter 364: Samael Who Does Not Follow Martial Ethics, Speaking Only Half Sentences

"So..."

"Wait, there's no need for you to popularize science on these things. What I don't understand is why chatting about an Elisa would lead to talking about these kinds of things."

Lan Qingyou raised her hand and interrupted Samael.

To an Alchemist like her, things like the Philosopher's Stone were fundamentally fabricated things.

Moreover, she had gained the recognition of the World Will with 'outstanding contributions' and had already become an Ageless and Undying existence.

Under these circumstances, she basically no longer needed any elixir of life.

So she fundamentally didn't care whether this kind of thing could actually be made or not.

What she cared about now was Elisa's matter.

As a result, this Professor Samael blathered on about a whole bunch of things, yet ultimately still hadn't entered the main topic?

"I don't know."

Facing Samael's rhetorical question, Lan Qingyou directly shook her head.

Telling stories... she indeed wanted to hear stories now, but if possible, at least don't let it be something blindly made up.

"Alright, then I'll be blunt. Elisa's ancestors were alchemists who researched Alchemy, and they were extremely obsessed with it."

"This obsession was even passed down generation after generation, finally reaching Elisa's generation. I think saying it this way, you should be clear why she harbors hostility towards you."

...

Understood. What else is there not to understand.

Lan Qingyou silently nodded.

Because she started researching Alchemy back on Blue Star, arriving in this world should make her even more proficient.

Looking at the other party's confidence and how the council members of the Supreme Council kept her hidden, in reality, it was indeed so.

But because of her own sudden rise to prominence, it directly left the other party with no room to perform.

Whether in terms of research results or in gaining the recognition of the World Will.

Just like how both were World Titles, Lan Qingyou's Title was world-renowned, whereas she only heard of the other party's Title today.

Under these circumstances, being viewed with hostility seemed to be a reasonable thing.

But by the same logic, couldn't it also prove that the reason she was viewed with hostility by the other party was entirely because she was too excellent!?

Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but touch her own pretty face.

How embarrassing.

"Since that's the case, then when she graduated and invited you, could it be to use chemistry to research the Philosopher's Stone?"

After adjusting her mood, Lan Qingyou asked Samael.

"Yes, but I didn't agree."

"Why? I feel like you should be very interested in this kind of research."

"Because besides me, she also invited other mentors."

"Hm? Is this jealousy?"

Lan Qingyou never expected to receive such an answer, so she jokingly asked the other party.

"Hehe, very nice joke. No need to make it next time."

"Alright."

Samael stared at Lan Qingyou with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. Lan Qingyou felt quite embarrassed being stared at and quickly brought the topic back.

"Then who else did she invite?"

"Her biology mentor."

"Hm? Biology?"

"Yes. Guess what her research direction is?"

Samael gave Lan Qingyou a mysterious smile.

While Lan Qingyou directly shook her head.

"Not guessing, can't guess a single bit."

What a joke.

Something like a research direction was completely determined by personal preference and ability.

Having her guess someone else's research direction was less relaxing than having her make a few more regional defensive Magic Arrays.

"Then never mind."

Seeing Lan Qingyou wasn't guessing, Samael shrugged with a face full of regret.

"Hm?"

"I'm saying my time is up. If you want to know, just wait until Elisa takes the stage and then we'll see. Of course, based on my understanding of her, no matter how difficult it is early on, she will very likely save her research results until she meets you."

After saying that, Lan Qingyou saw Samael tap the air in front of him, then his entire body began to fade, ultimately disappearing.

Only after the other party completely disappeared did Lan Qingyou realize that the other party had already been teleported to the arena.

Why is it that you, a latecomer, get teleported in to fight first?

Is this appropriate?

Lan Qingyou immediately started searching on the tablet.

Ultimately, she very reluctantly saw the moment Professor Samael raised his hand, announced his surrender, and left.

Good heavens.

With a silky smooth little combo, he directly left this grand stage, leaving Lan Qingyou dumbfounded.

No...

This old guy actually didn't follow martial ethics! Speaking only half a sentence!?

What is the research direction?

Lan Qingyou, with a head full of question marks, turned to look at the Masquerade Ball's spectator seats not far away.

Their number of people was about the same as Lan Qingyou's group.

But from their attire, it wasn't hard to tell that there might be more murderous people among them.

And at this time, Elisa seemed to have felt Lan Qingyou's gaze, so she also looked over.

The two of them just stared at each other across the space like this.

Who knows how long passed.

Maybe a minute, maybe ten minutes. After Gu Xiaobei beside her nudged her waist with an elbow, Lan Qingyou finally withdrew her gaze.

Staring like this... my eyes are so fucking sore...

"What is it?"

Lan Qingyou, withdrawing her gaze, took out eye drops made by a certain Witch that sold very well in the Witch Tea Party and could relieve eye fatigue, and put two drops in her eyes.

"Everyone has finished reading Professor Samael's paper. I'm returning it to you now. After all, theoretically you count as Professor Samael's student, so you can give it to him later."

Gu Xiaobei handed the collected paper manuscripts to Lan Qingyou.

Lan Qingyou took a look, then after taking them, she wrapped them in magic power and fired them out as a Magic Bullet.

The target was naturally Elisa.

Although that old guy Samael didn't say anything.

But looking at how the other party could leave the manuscript behind and leave so smoothly, he intentionally wanted her to give this thing to Elisa.

After all, as a mentor, he wouldn't and couldn't favor either side.

Especially in this kind of public setting.

A Magic Bullet wasn't magic; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the simplest application of magical energy.

This kind of thing had already been mastered by the people of Tarot Manor before. It was just that under the influence of Professor Samael's paper this time, this Magic Bullet appeared completely powerless and soft.

By the time it flew to where Elisa was, it had lost much of its power.

Because she knew of the paper manuscript's existence beforehand, Elisa didn't hesitate at all. She reached out and took the paper out from inside the Magic Bullet.

Completely unworried about Lan Qingyou playing any tricks here.

After all, in this kind of place and at this time, in front of so many people, she also didn't believe Lan Qingyou would play any tricks.

Of course.

There was another more important reason, which was that compared to her mentor's paper, she was currently more concerned about this Magic Bullet the other party fired.

As a Witch who also possessed a Demon Eye, she naturally could also see the magic power fluctuations around the Magic Bullet.

It was precisely because of this that she was curious exactly how the other party did it.

And when she started reading the paper, this question was instantly resolved.
