Chapter 787: The Sima Empire a Thousand Years Ago

The incoming wind blade was meant for an instant.

But for the two of them, a mere wind blade simply didn't pose any threat.

They dodged it very easily and comfortably.

"Holy shit! Such a sharp, such an adept wind blade!"

Lan Qingyou, after it was over, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Witches could see mana.

Just from that single wind blade just now, Lan Qingyou and Elisa could be certain that the person who cast this magic was absolutely a formidable character.

Thus, after looking at the wind blade that flew past, the two turned to look at the ground.

It was a white-haired old man standing at the entrance of the village.

But both of them could tell that the amount of mana in the other party's body was actually not much.

"Very strange."

"Indeed."

The two each threw out a sentence like riddlers after glancing at the old man.

Subsequently, they lowered their altitude.

In order not to let that old man who sent the wind blade think they were of any threat or aggressive, the two descended very slowly.

However, no matter how careful they were.

In the eyes of others, they were threatening.

So before the two even landed, they saw a group of villagers running out from the village holding hoes and carrying poles, protecting the old man in the middle.

Very clearly.

These guys must have hidden under the trees or wooden fences nearby waiting to support.

However... saying they were hiding, but in reality, in the eyes of Lan Qingyou and Elisa, there was simply no possibility of them hiding.

"Who are you?"

Mm!

Although the two hadn't heard the Karim language coming from the old man's mouth.

But surprisingly they could understand what it meant.

Just like reading the Karim text previously, this should be a welfare given by the world's will to everyone.

It was just unknown whether the other party could understand what they said.

Thus the two exchanged a glance.

[Elisa: You go, you have a nice voice, even if they don't understand, they can still enjoy the sound.]

[Lan Qingyou: You should go, you have good grades and you're a Ph.D., you definitely won't make a mistake.]

...

The two were in a stalemate.

While the old man, seeing the two exchanging glances, frowned slightly, thinking the other party was playing some tricks.

Thus, under the circumstance that neither had opened their mouths to answer the previous question, he asked a new question again.

"Why did you attack our village."

Attack...!?

Oh! So that's what it was...

"Hello old man, that wasn't an attack, we were testing a new magic."

After knowing the reason why the other party greeted them so enthusiastically with a wind blade.

Lan Qingyou stopped bickering with Elisa.

And immediately answered the other party's question.

Of course, she naturally spoke in the Federation Common Language.

"Is that so, since it's testing magic then there's no helping it, but..."

Oh!!!

The other party actually understood!!!

And even gave an answer!!!

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard, I heard, didn't expect it to actually be this powerful."

"Rather than saying powerful, it's better to say miraculous. Although we've already seen this kind of miracle once before."

"Yeah, but I have to say this kind of thing is so delightful no matter how many times we experience it."

The two didn't care what the old man answered later, and didn't even listen to it.

They were currently immersed in the joy of communicating with Karimians for the first time.

Of course, because Elisa's participation wasn't high, her joy wasn't as great as Lan Qingyou's.

So...

"Oh right, what did you just say?"

After the joy passed, Lan Qingyou finally had the time to turn her head and ask the old man who had been magnificently ignored by the two of them.

"I just said you aren't people from the Sima Empire, right?"

The old man looked somewhat speechlessly at these two people who seemed like lunatics.

Sitting on strange magical tools, blowing up the entrance of their village as soon as they arrived not to mention, and even spouting nonsense about magic experiments.

But the most important thing was that their pronunciation of the Empire Language was very non-standard.

One look and you could tell they weren't people from this country.

As the village chief of this village, he had the obligation to interrogate these suspicious individuals with unknown identities.

While the two suspicious individuals with unknown identities hadn't relaxed at this moment.

Because they both heard a very familiar name — Sima Empire.

This empire wasn't anything else.

It was precisely...

Although neither "Nicolas Romé's Alchemical Notes" nor "Albert's Alchemical Notes" ever had this name appear.

But as two guys who frequently read miscellaneous books, they had still seen it in other novels, biographies, or travelogues.

But the most famous depiction concerning the empire in the two's hearts was that title 'Twin Moons of the Empire' that could make them laugh for a year.

"Mm, we are Mountain Dwellers, Alchemists who live deep in the mountains researching alchemy."

Knowing her current location, Lan Qingyou stepped forward.

Nobody recognized them anyway.

Under the circumstance of not worrying about having her background exposed, she directly spouted nonsense about an identity.

Of course, it wasn't completely nonsense either.

After all, the two of them really were Alchemists, and moreover Alchemists recognized by the world's will.

Even in the alchemy world a thousand years ago, they should be master-level existences if nothing unexpected happens.

After all, the 【Twin Moons of the Empire】 being recognized by the world's will was enough for the people of the empire to brag about for a lifetime.

This showed that no matter what era, this 'recognition' was an extremely scarce existence.

Over here.

The old village chief didn't show any reaction after hearing the two were Mountain Dwellers.

After all, although there were few people living deep in the mountains, it wasn't that there were none.

Some powerful people even liked drilling into such places.

The main focus was getting close to nature and comprehending the laws of magic.

But when he heard the two words 'alchemy' and 'Alchemists' later on, he instantly became energized.

"You said you are Alchemists?"

"That's right, you see, these flying magical tools were researched by us ourselves."

Lan Qingyou patted the magic broom beneath her.

Although this thing relied on talent to fly, and the flying broom wasn't researched by her.

But she couldn't help but have mastered the core technology.

As long as there were materials, she could make a flying broom.

However, she had no intention of making one either; after all, looking at the old man's slightly envious gaze, flying should also be a scarce ability.

This way at least there wouldn't be many people fighting with her for lanes, which was quite good.

As for why she didn't say she was a 'Title Holder' recognized by the world's will, that was entirely because she felt it was unnecessary.

This thing was on her anyway.

She would just take it out whenever it became necessary.

After all, the two of them didn't rely on this kind of identity to roam the world.

This was the confidence brought by strength.

"Village Chief, what should we do?"

When hearing that the two were truly Alchemists, those villagers holding hoes all became somewhat at a loss.

After all, those were Alchemists!

Sublime and great existences.

If they offended them, it would be even worse than offending those Mage Excellencies or Noble Lords...
