Chapter 662: Just Returning You a Favor, Don't Overthink

"Then Elisa, what is the price?"

When Lan Qingyou said this sentence, this so-called idle chat this time became a transaction.

Yes.

In Lan Qingyou's view, the other party had successively spoken three pieces of news.

And out of the three pieces of news halfway through, two could be considered things related to herself.

Only that news about Li Mei in the middle didn't have much relationship with her.

No... even for the news about Li Mei, the similarities and differences between the Undead Race and the Necromancer Race within it could also be considered somewhat related to herself.

In this way, among the three pieces of news, two and a half had a relationship with her.

No matter how one thought about it, this should be meticulously designed by the other party, right.

Undeniably, technical work like grafting indeed had the phenomenon of a high mortality rate.

But for a thing like a Branch of the Dwelling Giant Tree, because it was a world-class plant, the survival rate when grafting should be very high.

And the other party had exactly just touched upon it, saying this news that Lan Qingyou could know just by thinking a bit.

Instead of being specific as to what region had this kind of tree or what organization had planted this kind of tree.

Just from this point alone, one could guess that the other party wanted to use these few matters to play out something.

Elisa: "If I said there was no price, would you believe me?"

Lan Qingyou: "I don't believe it. After all, there's no free lunch in the world."

When Lan Qingyou was typing, her head inside the covers also swayed back and forth twice.

Very obviously, she didn't believe this kind of thing.

After all, no one would do this kind of unbeneficial matter to themselves.

Even if there were, this kind of person wouldn't live long on the Karim Continent either.

This wasn't a mindset, but rather the facts of living over these few years telling her so.

Elisa: "Don't overthink. The facts are indeed so. I owed you too many favors before; now using these three pieces of intel to return the favor as a debt of gratitude shouldn't be a problem, right?"

A favor?

If it was like this, then it actually made sense.

After all, debts of gratitude were the hardest to repay.

Exactly so, the other party both gave the Mana Derangement Device, and raised the research analysis of the Undead Race and the Necromancer Race, and finally even attached the news of the Branch of the Dwelling Giant Tree.

Three pieces of news; no matter which one was investigated deeply, whether for Lan Qingyou or for the entire Tower Witch Clan, they were beneficial.

Lan Qingyou: "Really?"

Elisa: "Really."

Lan Qingyou: "To be honest, I still don't quite believe it."

Lan Qingyou: "I originally thought you said these words to make me help you take revenge for that Exorcist of the Hearthfire."

Elisa: "You're overthinking. Do you think this kind of thing is possible to happen? Or are you saying you feel my combat power is inferior to yours?"

Seeing Lan Qingyou's reply, Elisa felt it was laughable.

What a joke. No matter what she said, she was the Clan Leader of the Workshop Clan; for mere revenge, did she still need to borrow someone else's hands?

Especially finding you, the Clan Leader of the Tower Clan.

That was already not a matter of losing face or not.

It was completely making a mockery of herself!

Elisa, who was already originally investigating this matter and already had some clues, replied somewhat angrily.

Lan Qingyou: "Could it be that it's not?"

However, Lan Qingyou was like she hadn't noticed the other party getting angry, continuing to say things that would anger one to death without paying for their life.

Elisa: "Interesting. Then it seems sometime we'll have to have a real battle with real swords and spears to know who is the true Witch Queen."

...

This woman didn't know how to chat.

Putting it this way, wasn't it clearly killing the conversation?

Lan Qingyou: "Alright, I actually don't care when we start fighting."

Elisa: "Since it's like this, then let's find a day when everyone isn't busy."

Lan Qingyou: "Do you think one day's time is enough if the two of us start fighting?"

Elisa: "...Indeed, but I can't spare any more time. I'm very busy."

Lan Qingyou: "Rest assured, I'm also very busy, so this is a fundamentally unrealistic proposal."

It was still that sentence: although witches were Ageless long-lived species, time was still extremely precious to witches.

A matter like specifically emptying out several days to carry out this kind of meaningless battle was impossible whether for Lan Qingyou or Elisa.

What a joke.

There were still so many research topics; even drinking tea and chatting were completed using the limited rest time. Who would be idle to this extent.

Lan Qingyou: "Since it's like this, then how much does your side know about the news of the Giant Tree's branches?"

So Lan Qingyou decided not to pull back and forth on this kind of matter with this guy who didn't know how to speak, and immediately changed the subject.

Elisa: "I know of a few; among them, you should recognize the biggest one."

Lan Qingyou: "Oh? Interesting. Speak and let me hear."

Upon seeing that there was actually one she recognized, Lan Qingyou, wrapped in her quilt, immediately straightened her attitude, her eyes sharp.

Elisa: "Knight Order."

...

Elisa's three words made Lan Qingyou instantly realize who the other party was talking about.

Right now, there were many on the continent that could be called a Knight Order.

But the vast majority were some kingdom's knight order, having a prefix.

If simply bringing out the words 'Knight Order' to say, then no matter who it was, they should be talking about the Knight Guild's Knight Order.

It was just that Lan Qingyou never expected they could actually be linked to this matter.

One must know, the guys of the Knight Order, whether it was [Plague Knight] Lancelot whom she had met once at the banquet before the auction initially began, or [Famine Knight] Holger encountered on the arena, were all flaunting their knightly 'righteousness'.

Although Lan Qingyou had never believed it.

But she had to say that shouting this kind of flaunting too much had a high probability of not being able to wipe it away from one's face.

After all, having started on a high note, wanting to bring it down again, the risks borne wouldn't be as simple as just a little bit.

It could even directly lead to the collapse of the entire organization.

So that was why Lan Qingyou was so surprised after hearing it was the Knight Order.

How to put it.

This kind of matter that was nothing if unseen, but would definitely cause an incident if seen, was as plain as day.

Those people who liked to flaunt themselves would really do this?

And under the circumstances of the Dark Witches striking out everywhere?

Unimaginable.

Lan Qingyou: "You're talking about that Knight Order of the Knight Guild?"

Although she knew it in her heart, Lan Qingyou still asked a sentence for confirmation.

Elisa: "Right, it's exactly that Knight Order."

Elisa's final reply made Lan Qingyou confirm her guess.

Alright, it seemed this group of people were truly very bold. Putting the matter on the table so openly and brightly, it seemed they were also bullying my Witch Race for having no one.

Or did the other party have some reliance?

Forget it. No matter what Knight Order the other party was or what reliance they had, she had to uproot this tree, not leaving even a single leaf for the other party.

This point was beyond doubt.
