Chapter 806: Mana Tide, Feels Okay

Woo—

Woo—

The fierce wind howled as it swept through the streets and alleys, emitting strange sounds like screams.

Rainwater mixed with extremely chaotic mana poured down from the sky, smashing onto the roof tiles of houses and the bluestone of the streets.

This seemingly ordinary rainy day was filled with massive crisis.

Mana.

Chaotic mana that could make a Mage with abundant mana instantly drop dead on the spot.

So in order to avoid this natural disaster that could act directly on a person's body, everyone hid safely at home.

There was no one on the streets.

That was Viscount Adams' Lakeside Villa.

At this moment.

If someone looked from afar, they would definitely see the entire private villa seemingly covered by something.

After those raindrops hit, they directly converged into streams of water in midair and flowed down.

This scene looked magnificent and beautiful.

But it was also very bizarre.

No helping it.

If it was a thousand years later, this kind of scene would be very common.

But in this world a thousand years ago... no one had seen this kind of scene.

"Are the test results out?"

At the main gate of the private villa, Lan Qingyou and Elisa were looking up at the rainwater sliding down in the air.

It was currently the dead of night.

An iron chain was tied around the waists of the two.

It seemed there was nothing abnormal.

Except Lan Qingyou was currently soaked all over.

While Elisa still had her previous appearance.

The reason they were here was to test how wild this Mana Tide from a thousand years ago was.

So as to make a comparison with the Mana Tide of later generations.

So...

The reason Lan Qingyou was completely soaked was because she went out for a walk.

And then was dragged back by Elisa grabbing the iron chain.

As for why it was only the two of them.

That was because they had driven the other servants and maids away to sleep.

The reason given was that the Alchemists needed to conduct academic research at night.

A very reasonable excuse.

So reasonable that neither the servants nor the maids dared to ask more questions.

What a joke, you dare to ask more?

I advise you it's best not to meddle in an Alchemist's business.

"Mm, tested it out."

"Then how does it feel?"

"Feels okay. In comparison, it's indeed much smaller, and also much smaller compared to the New Continent. I even want to call a Mana Tide of this level gentle."

Lan Qingyou, who was using a towel to wipe her body and taking out a stove, nodded.

The comparison she mentioned here was naturally about things a thousand years later.

It was just because this term was too sensitive, so she didn't state it explicitly.

After all, one still had to guard against walls having ears.

So even with a Soundproof Barrier, being a bit careful was always right.

You should know since there are Appraisal Glasses, then other magical eavesdropping tools or magic aren't impossible either.

Better safe than sorry.

Be a bit cautious.

At least being a bit cautious on this kind of matter is absolutely not wrong.

Actually, this was also the result after Lan Qingyou and Elisa discussed it.

After all, they came from a thousand years later.

If there were any slip-ups in this era, it might directly affect future events.

This is a time paradox.

Can't be investigated deeply.

Even if there were completely no original inhabitants a thousand years later.

So things like defensive shields and such magic could be brought out to talk about.

But there was one very fatal thing they had to guard against.

That was the 'two extra people'.

Whether it was Lan Qingyou or Elisa, they hadn't read few books in this world.

Miscellaneous studies like novels and travelogues were also many.

But neither Lan Qingyou's name, nor Elisa's name.

Or even terms like 'Witch' or 'Demon Eye', none of them existed.

Which means a thousand years ago, the two of them didn't exist.

So other things like the magic they learned could be used, but when it involved personal information, they must be very careful.

This was also the reason why Lan Qingyou asked in such detail when Adams appraised her earlier.

As long as the other party didn't see her 'Tower Witch' Title, and didn't know what a Witch was, then anything else was fine.

Because this was within the controllable scope.

And it could also pull a wave of mystery.

Letting her coolness factor rise a level.

When the time came to go to the Imperial Capital, she would naturally rise with the tide and have the opportunity to obtain more intelligence.

"Why do you think the Mana Tide a thousand years ago is so small? It couldn't possibly be that the condition worsened after a thousand years of time right?"

Elisa, who was drying the hair of Lan Qingyou who was roasting by the fire, frowned.

According to Lan Qingyou's meaning just now, the power of the Mana Tide outside might not even match up to the New Continent a thousand years later.

Especially after seeing that although the other party was weakened outside, it hadn't reached a severe state where she would instantly drop dead on the spot.

You should know, when the two tested it in the New Continent before, Lan Qingyou fell flat on the ground on the spot.

It was enough to see how 'gentle' the Mana Tide before them was.

"Who knows..."

Lan Qingyou shrugged, then took out a cup of warm milk tea and brought it to her mouth.

"But I did remember something from before."

"What is it?"

"I forgot which book I saw it in before, but it said it seemed to be because of a mana explosion, which eventually led to the current state."

Lan Qingyou frowned, trying to recall.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't remember exactly where she had seen it.

But without a doubt, she had remembered the key content.

After all, she remembered this point when she saw it back then.

"Mana explosion?"

"Mm, I remember it seemed to be caused by some experiment."

"..."

Experiment...

Hearing this word, what Elisa instantly thought of was her own experiments.

But obviously, her own experiments hadn't reached the point of explosion.

But if this was the case, then it would make sense why the current Mana Tide was so gentle.

It's just...

"If that's the case, adding a layer of mana cloak should allow one to walk in a Mana Tide of this intensity right?"

"It should be possible, I tried it just now, it can roughly offset about thirty percent of the weakening."

Lan Qingyou nodded, then said while silently calculating in her heart.

"If it's just walking then it's indeed fine, but if you want to use magic it's probably impossible."

"Is that so... then it seems whether it's strong or weak, it doesn't matter to you."

As Elisa spoke, she looked at Lan Qingyou's legs.

Since walking was no problem, then naturally it was a problem for someone who couldn't walk.

"Who says, if possible no one is willing to go out in this kind of damn weather."

Regarding this 'provocative' speech of Elisa's, Lan Qingyou didn't mind at all.

Or rather, entangling with this guy on this kind of matter was originally not a rational thing to do.

Because after spending day and night together these past few months, she could already distinguish which sentence of this cold-faced guy was the truth, and which sentence was a joke.
