Chapter 793: Viscount Adams Dashing Madly

"Speaking of which, what was that little trick you were just talking about with that old man?"

Because they only needed to wait next.

So both Lan Qingyou and Elisa became idle.

Thus, Elisa simply took advantage of this time to ask about the matter of that little trick.

"You still remember the old village chief's wind blade yesterday right."

"I remember."

"Actually, what I asked just now was about this matter..."

Lan Qingyou recounted the contents of her previous chat with the old village chief in detail.

Elisa listened carefully.

Of course, it didn't go to the extent of using magic.

After all, the two of them were indoors right now.

But if it was just a simple mana ball, then there was no problem.

Keeping the size of a mana ball at around five centimeters in diameter was fine.

Aiming at the window beside them and shooting outward.

Compression.

The compression at that moment.

This was the old village chief's little trick.

While Elisa was experimenting, Lan Qingyou naturally wasn't idle either.

This world was actually a massive treasure trove of knowledge for them.

After all, previously they were either self-taught or discussing with each other.

There was not a single truly orthodox teaching.

"So, the reason you plan to go to the Imperial Capital is because you want to take the opportunity to systematically study at an academy?"

Elisa, raising her finger towards the window and practicing the 'feeling', said like this.

"It can't really be called systematic study, but maybe we can discover some pointers we didn't know before, just like the old village chief's little trick."

Lan Qingyou, in the same posture as Elisa, nodded.

"That's a good idea, and we might even be able to see the Twin Moons of the Empire along the way."

"Haha, that's true, but I really don't know what to call them when we meet."

"What else could we call them, we can't just go up and call them teacher, right."

"Teacher probably isn't necessary, but wouldn't you want to ask some more professional questions?"

Hearing Elisa say they were going to meet the chuunibyou [Twin Moons of the Empire], Lan Qingyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Not to mention!

With Lan Qingyou's personality as someone who loves a good show, she was indeed very much looking forward to meeting this guy Albert.

Although in her heart she did regard him as her teacher.

But that was a thousand years later.

Now there might be a real Albert placed in front of her, so that would be another story.

"Oh! Don't say it! You really don't say it! I indeed have quite a few things regarding mana that I need to ask Nicolas."

"Right, I also have some questions regarding material conversion here that I need to ask Albert. Especially alchemy that converts materials under the premise of not using mana, I always felt it would be very interesting."

Seeing that Elisa was tempted by her proposal, Lan Qingyou nodded in satisfaction.

Her idea was indeed excellent.

However, she didn't know that her sentence just now had started a new war.

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Materials are temporary after all; when you don't have specific materials, you'll find that mana is still the omnipotent energy source, second to none."

"I think I've also said that mana is ultimately just an existence like an adhesive. If you can use minimal mana to accomplish something, why not do it? Efficiency is the driving force of everything!"

The two who were originally chatting well turned from their initial casual chat into a debate between factions because of one sentence.

However, although the two were arguing fiercely.

In reality, this kind of 'dispute over orthodox teachings' wasn't the first time.

Whether it was a thousand years later or a thousand years ago, they would have one like this from time to time.

Even if it always ended up unresolved every time, it didn't matter to them.

After all...

This not only passed the time, but could also consolidate the theories of their own camp.

As for breakfast... it didn't matter whether they ate it or not.

Anyway, the old village chief was already starting to make lunch on his end.

However, before they could even have lunch, the Viscount arrived first.

"Where are the Alchemists?"

Just arriving at the village entrance, this Viscount Adams with yellow hair and wearing a well-tailored noble robe immediately jumped off his horse and asked the young man keeping watch at the village entrance.

Early this morning, he had just woken up when he heard a guard say a villager from Fernweed Village wanted to see him.

When he first heard it, he even felt it was somewhat absurd.

He was a Viscount after all, a villager under his rule actually ran over early in the morning saying they wanted to see him?

And at his own doorstep?

If this wasn't absurd, what was?

However, just when he was about to speak and have the guards drive the person away, the reporting guard said that two unaffiliated Mountain Dweller Alchemists had arrived in the other party's village.

Unaffiliated, Mountain Dweller, Alchemist...

Adams didn't know how these words could be put together.

But without a doubt, as long as it involved a matter of Alchemists, it wasn't a trivial matter.

Of course, this wasn't to say all Alchemists had this treatment.

At least those apprentice Alchemists who hadn't walked out of academies, or had just walked out of academies, didn't have this qualification.

So he immediately summoned that villager and listened to the origin of the matter from beginning to end.

It was fine at the beginning.

It was just a very ordinary encounter.

Even when hearing the other party had flying tools, Viscount Adams didn't take it seriously.

But when he heard the old village chief asked the other party to make Repellent Potions, and the other party made Dispersing Light Spheres that were even better than Repellent Potions, he knew this was absolutely not some apprentice Alchemist who might not be able to advance in their entire life.

But a solid Alchemist with their own abilities.

After confirming the other party's identity, Adams immediately canceled all his itineraries for today.

Riding his horse and taking a few guards, he dashed madly in the direction of Fernweed Village.

Are you kidding.

These were wild Alchemists, and there were two of them.

If he didn't curry favor properly, it would be too huge a loss.

His ambitions weren't big either, as long as one of the two could join their family, he would be satisfied.

As for why he was in such a hurry, it was entirely because of another layer of reasons.

In the old village chief's view, perhaps it was only necessary to retain them.

But in the eyes of a noble, it wasn't calculated like this.

The reason was very simple, because it was said the two both lived in the valleys of the Selala Mountain Range.

That place was another noble's territory.

So strictly speaking, the two's registry belonged to that noble.

As long as the other party knew of the existence of these two, then they would definitely come and fight with him over the nominal status.

You must know negotiations with unaffiliated Alchemists like this were often a very lengthy matter.

The shortest Adams knew of also took over a month's time.

Over a month...

This was enough for the news to leak out ten times.

So he had to hurry up and seize the time.

"In the banquet hall."

"Take me there quickly."

"O... okay..."
