Chapter 755: Truly Exquisite

Time reversed slightly to that day about a month ago.

"I didn't expect you guys could actually think of such a method to fight..."

In the sky.

Lan Qingyou, sitting on her magic broom, said this to Elisa beside her, who was sitting on a flying magic carpet.

The flying magic carpet, this was something Elisa had researched and created.

It was said that it was made to imitate the flying broom for convenience of travel.

Of course, this was Elisa's phrasing.

In Lan Qingyou's eyes, there were certain differences in the operating principles and energy supply of this thing compared to her magic broom or the flying brooms made by the Thorn Witches.

Simply put, they were different products with the same starting point.

In the past, she might have still fallen into a sense of crisis because others could also fly.

But ever since seeing the vampires' wings and flying brooms, this sense of crisis had gradually faded away without her realizing it.

Of course.

Although this was the first time seeing this kind of flying magic carpet, this wasn't the focal point this time.

Rather, it was the giant land magic beast resembling a sea turtle that was currently being jointly attacked by a group of White Witches.

Only, compared to the kind of siege seen normally, it was different.

These guys didn't take the field personally, but were fighting by controlling stitched magic beasts one by one.

To tell the truth, it wasn't like Lan Qingyou hadn't seen this type of combat before.

Among the Dark Witches, there were quite a few summoning-type existences.

But compared to these DIY stitched magic beasts, the abilities of summoned beasts were truly difficult to keep balanced.

Some had high abilities, some low.

So battle scenes like this one, resembling a monster movie, had never occurred before.

Of course, if one brought out Iron Grazra or a giantified Titan, that would be another story.

But it had to be said that the visual appeal of this fighting style was absolutely impeccable.

"Want some?"

Elisa picked up the popcorn on the flying magic carpet and expressionlessly handed it to Lan Qingyou.

That's why they say having a large surface area lets you do whatever you want.

On the magic carpet, besides a bowl containing popcorn, there was also a semi-transparent patterned glass teapot and teacups.

There was even a plate of roasted lamb chops seasoned with cumin and chili powder!

This guy actually ate chili powder!

Are you living this well!?

Lan Qingyou carefully observed it and realized that the magic carpet underneath this guy was one she had seen before at her shelter in the desert oasis.

It was modified from that very same carpet she had sat on before.

It truly was...

If you say she's frugal, making this thing fly required a lot of effort and materials.

If you say she's wasteful, she still knew to use the previous carpet.

"No thanks, eating too much makes me thirsty."

Facing the offered popcorn, Lan Qingyou waved her hand.

Subsequently, she flew above the magic carpet, then stored her magic broom and sat down on the magic carpet.

Although Elisa didn't invite her, she wasn't disgusted by Lan Qingyou's action either.

Rather, this kind of casual behavior like old friends actually made her feel a bit more relaxed.

"If you're thirsty, then drink tea. It's brewed with Minashuang."

Thus, she took out a new teacup from her cards and personally poured Lan Qingyou a cup of tea.

"Tsk tsk, truly exquisite..."

Lan Qingyou clicked her tongue.

Minashuang, an herb that could be used to create rapid-acting poison potions.

After being dried in the sun, it could be used to brew tea.

It had a rich aroma but a light taste.

And in terms of practical effects, because of the two processes of sun-drying and stir-frying, it gained the attributes of stabilizing the mind and increasing base speed.

Of course.

The reason Lan Qingyou called it exquisite was because although this thing wasn't very useful, its output was also not large.

It was only produced at the edges of a certain roughly level 60 dungeon.

So, it was very expensive.

Glug glug glug—

Tear—

After finishing the tea, Lan Qingyou picked up a roasted lamb chop and took a bite.

Throughout this series of actions, neither of them even looked at the battle below.

But with the White Witches' stitched magic beast army and the Dark Witches' Giant Killer Squad, it was just a land tortoise.

It couldn't make any waves.

"Speaking of which, how is the research on the Emerald Tablet going on your end?"

"Not bad. We have a few clues now, but it still requires in-depth research."

Elisa shook her head.

"Oh! What specifically regarding?"

"It's hard to say right now, somewhat hard to see through, chaotic, need to wait a bit."

"Alright..."

Lan Qingyou shrugged.

After all, what the other party said was somewhat vague and generalized.

A researcher would absolutely never say such words.

Since she said it, it meant the other party's current research progress had truly reached this 'chaotic' stage.

It belonged to the stage where the curtain had been lifted, but the goods hadn't been seen yet.

At a time like this, it would be best to have a systematic research plan.

"So, do you have one?"

Lan Qingyou looked at this expressionless guy Elisa in confusion.

"I originally planned to go back after taking down this land tortoise, but I didn't expect to run into you."

"..."

Lan Qingyou was speechless.

"You make it sound like running into me is some kind of bad thing."

"Mhm, you ate my roasted lamb chops."

"..."

People like this, those who know how to chat will always know how to chat.

Those who don't know how to chat will never learn how to chat.

So Lan Qingyou just stared at Elisa who was looking at her, slowly lowered her head, opened her mouth, reached out, and took a vicious bite of the lamb chop.

Seeing this made the originally expressionless Elisa's mouth twitch.

Good heavens.

I only said one sentence and she actually made this kind of expression.

Her pettiness is truly extraordinary.

Hopeless.

"Oh, the one down there is about to die."

Lan Qingyou, chewing on the lamb meat, poked her head out to look below, and found that under the combined strangulation of the White Witches and Dark Witches, the land tortoise was basically done for.

So she turned her head and asked Elisa.

"How do we calculate the gains?"

"I want the turtle shell. The rest is up to you."

"Forget it, it's better if I take the loss and take the turtle shell. It'll be more convenient for you to take the body inside back for assembly."

"It's fine. Since I've already taken a loss anyway, I don't mind taking a bit more."

Looking at the half-eaten lamb chop in Lan Qingyou's hand, Elisa said this.

This sentence left Lan Qingyou with completely no temper.

You didn't say I couldn't eat it...

The reason both of them wanted the turtle shell was because on the entire land tortoise, this thing was the most useful.

But very clearly, both Lan Qingyou and Elisa saw through it.

At the same time, they also knew the other party had seen through it.

So they were both cheerfully letting themselves 'bear' this sin.

What happened next was very simple.

After some discussion, this land tortoise was eventually split down the middle.

The Dark Witches and White Witches each took half, neither losing out to the other.

But strictly speaking, the White Witches' side still took a slight loss.

After all, they were the ones who attacked this magic beast first.

And even lost several thirty-odd-meter-tall stitched magic beasts because of it.

However, Elisa didn't care about this bit of loss.

After all, with the press of a button, cells could undergo infinite division and reproduction...
