Chapter 402: I Knew You Were Up to No Good!

~6 min read 1,093 words

Lan Qingyou was a bit driven crazy.

She really couldn't figure out what exactly Elisa was obsessing over.

Could it be just because of the so-called relationship with the family of occultism and alchemy, so she needed the Emerald Tablet to justify her ancestors?

That was unnecessary, right? After all, they were people from two different worlds.

"The Emerald Tablet, that was originally our Aureolus Family's thing, I just want to take it back."

"If you agree, I can use this "Book of Alchemical Symbols" personally written by Teacher Romé, as well as my successful research results from nearly a year to exchange with you."

Saying so, Elisa took out two small notebooks and waved them in front of Lan Qingyou.

However, at this moment, Lan Qingyou's brain was a bit overloaded.

No...

No matter how you listen to this sentence, it feels bizarre.

"Alright, why do you think we were Teleported over, or why do you think the world will of Karim chose our Blue Star?"

Seeing Lan Qingyou seemed to not quite understand, Elisa spoke more straightforwardly.

"Anchor point!"

Lan Qingyou almost instantly understood the other party's meaning.

"So that means your Aureolus Family are actually Karimians who went to Blue Star from here?"

"No."

"..."

Lan Qingyou, who originally thought her logical deduction was extremely correct, never expected to get this result.

She almost sprained her waist.

"Then what is it?"

Lan Qingyou asked, not giving up.

"The first head of the Aureolus Family once saved a beggar. It is said that the beggar claimed to be of the Mana Alchemy School and had the miraculous ability to turn stones into gold and red roses into blue ones, so our ancestor treated him as a Teacher and learned from him."

"When the beggar was about to die, he kept talking about things like the Emerald Tablet and World Artifacts, so besides being obsessed with Alchemy, our Aureolus Family is also obsessed with recovering this Emerald Tablet."

Elisa recounted some things about their family as if reminiscing.

"Ho ho, speaking of it this way, then the Emerald Tablet indeed counts as your Aureolus Family's thing. After all, it's the Teacher's thing. But!"

"How can you prove this thing belonged to that beggar? You have to know, this kind of World Artifact should have been known by many Alchemists at that time. Saying it as a final thought on one's deathbed, I feel it's also reasonable."

Lan Qingyou raised her doubts.

And Elisa just spread her hands.

"That's why I chose this duel, or rather, transaction."

Alright, very bachelor-like.

So bachelor-like that it was even a bit 'reasonable', making Lan Qingyou a bit uncomfortable.

"So, in the end, we still have to fight a battle after all."

Lan Qingyou couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, the Emerald Tablet is currently yours. If we don't fight a real battle, even if I get it, I won't be happy."

"Is it that you won't be happy, or you won't be willing?"

"It should be not willing."

Elisa nodded, admitting her thoughts.

Thus Lan Qingyou laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Speaking of which, we really have to bring out our real skills in this match."

"Yes, I will also go all out. However, since we are going all out, then as Witches and Alchemists, how about we no longer use those unrated magics and directly compete using our research results?"

"This proposal is very interesting, I accept."

Facing the new rule suddenly proposed by Elisa, Lan Qingyou agreed without a second thought.

Therefore.

After getting Lan Qingyou's reply, Elisa nodded, then turned and walked backwards.

And Lan Qingyou didn't take the opportunity to pull any sneak attacks.

However, just as Elisa walked about ten meters away, which meant opening up a distance of about thirty meters from Lan Qingyou, she suddenly turned around and pointed a finger at Lan Qingyou.

Anyone who had watched the morning competition knew this was Elisa's attack posture.

But!

Lan Qingyou had already disappeared from her original spot at this moment.

"I knew you proposing that kind of stupid rule definitely had no good intentions!"

Subsequently, Lan Qingyou's voice came from behind Elisa.

"What stupid words! All's fair in war on the battlefield!"

Yelling loudly, Elisa turned around while jumping back, and raised her hands in the shape of a pistol, 'firing' at Lan Qingyou in the air.

"Air element magic? That's really a rare magic system!"

Lan Qingyou took out a rectangular shield and blocked it in front of herself.

This was a magical item called 'Wall of Fortitude', whose main function was explosion protection.

So the air bullets hitting the shield fundamentally didn't cause any ripples.

"Did you see through it?"

Elisa, maintaining her attack, raised an eyebrow.

"Guessed it."

"True, this system of magic isn't something very hard to guess."

"Right? That's why I'm curious, where did you find it? I haven't seen such rewards in the selections."

Lan Qingyou said with a smile, hiding behind the shield in a careless manner.

"Do you think there's a possibility this isn't some magic, but purely a method of applying Alchemy?"

"Material transformation?"

"Since things like wood, stone, and water can be transformed, then naturally air can also be transformed."

"No reason for that, right? Where is your alchemy array? Don't tell me some stupid words like it's drawn on your gloves or clothes."

"Ha, did you forget I'm from the Mana Alchemy School?"

Elisa smiled very confidently.

This was the theoretical ideology of the Mana Alchemy School, and she had never expected a guy from the Materialist Faction to understand.

"Didn't Romé fail to develop anything praiseworthy?"

Lan Qingyou was very surprised.

You must know, Albert and Baham, two experts in Alchemy and Glyphology, both asserted Nicolas Romé's failure.

Now someone was actually saying what she was using was something researched by the Mana Alchemy School.

How could she believe this?

"Right! But I researched it!"

As if declaring something, Elisa's tone was very firm.

"I see."

Lan Qingyou nodded in approval.

This was probably where Elisa's true pride lay.

After all, personally constructing and applying a theory that predecessors failed to break through with one's own hands, anyone would feel a sense of pride and arrogance.

But it could be seen that although this guy Elisa was proud, she didn't get carried away.

Her self-emotional management was very stable.

Hmm... except when it was said that her research was wrong.

"Speaking of which, what is your research direction? I asked Professor Samael before, but that guy didn't tell me."
