Chapter 818: To Say Any More, That Would Be Impolite...

Look.

People who like reading books are indeed different.

Even their speech carries somewhat of an academic flavor.

Even saying things like 'directional'.

Hearing this, Elisa's originally cold face slowly turned gloomy.

"Damn it, what kind of look is that!"

Elisa, who knew what the other party was talking about, how could she not know what this guy considered her as.

So she immediately stretched out a finger.

Then...

Subsequently...

A whirring sound came out.

Lan Qingyou saw that hole suck the surrounding dirt inside.

Just like a vacuum cleaner.

Good heavens! Playing this hand huh!

"You're truly... becoming less and less human..."

The more she understood, the more Lan Qingyou felt this way regarding the matter that Elisa might not be human.

After all, what kind of normal person would refine themselves into a Crucible.

And with such complete matching facilities.

"Laughable, talking as if you're human."

Elisa, who was complained about by Lan Qingyou, directly retorted back.

Subsequently, she turned around and flew towards the road they came from.

Now the moon in the east had already risen, and only a tiny bit of the sun in the west remained.

Which meant if they didn't go back it would be dark soon.

Although whether it was dark or not didn't matter to the two of them, wasn't it better to go back early and rest early?

Especially under the circumstance that they had such a 'large' amount of exercise today.

Seeing this situation, Lan Qingyou also followed closely behind.

Anyway, they had already finished finding fun, wasn't the only option left to go home and sleep.

Moreover, exercising was quite tiring.

Taking a hot bath after going back to sweep away a body full of exhaustion was the key.

...

Over here.

The fat merchant Arthur was waiting anxiously.

Just before, the meteor shower in the sky had directly scared him and the surrounding guards, attendants, and caravan members stupid.

One Meteorite was already like that.

And as a result a meteor shower also came?

To be honest, what he thought of at that moment wasn't his great-grandmother.

But a sentence his instructor at school once said.

— A forbidden spell among forbidden spells like Meteor Fire Shower, if someone could learn it, then without a doubt, that person is the legendary, highest-ranking, Star-level Grand Magus that simply couldn't possibly exist.

Just this?

A little girl in her twenties, not only an Alchemist, but also a Star-level Grand Magus?

Is this a human that should exist in this world?

Arthur's brain crashed.

He couldn't figure it out, no matter how he thought about it he couldn't figure out exactly how the other party trained to this point.

You should know even the most genius of geniuses wanting to reach this level was fundamentally impossible.

Unless... this person fundamentally isn't human...

"Hehe..."

Arthur couldn't help but be amused by his own thought.

If not human, what else could she be.

It couldn't possibly be a god right.

Sigh... no wonder that guy Adams was so mysterious, telling him not to ask anything and just bring the two of them to the Imperial Capital.

Thinking of this.

Arthur turned his head to look at the coachman and the captain of the guards who were standing dumbfoundedly beside the carriage.

The other party was a coachman, but also a messenger.

A messenger going with them to the Imperial Capital.

Needless to say, the letter from Adams in the other party's hands must be about those two.

He wasn't clear on what it was, but this wasn't important.

Because what else is more important than this kind of display of strength?

At least to them, people who were at the scene witnessing it firsthand, nothing else was truly as important.

Or rather, just what they saw today was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.

Even to the point where some people could use it as some kind of 'capital'.

...

They're back!

When seeing the black dots on the horizon, Arthur knew those two were back.

"Bring out the prepared food and hot soup, don't make the two Lords wait long!"

After confirming it was the two, Arthur immediately shouted to his subordinates.

Actually, food preparation had already stopped early on when the meteor shower fell.

It wasn't that they didn't want to make it.

But that they fundamentally didn't have the energy or mood to make it.

Joking, seeing a scene like this meteor shower, who would still have the mind to cook.

Resting, watching carefully, and firmly remembering it in their hearts.

So that eventually when they safely returned home they could brag about it to their family or in the tavern.

Anyway, it definitely wasn't for the sake of learning.

"Two Lords."

When Lan Qingyou and Elisa slowly descended from the air, Arthur immediately dashed forward with a vigorous stride, greeting them with a smiling face.

That level of agility didn't look like a fat man weighing over two hundred pounds at all.

"Oh! Is the food already prepared, how truly sensible, as expected of a merchant."

"This is a gift for you to play with."

Seeing the prepared food beside them, Lan Qingyou also wasn't polite, tossing the Yo-yo in her hand to the other party, then flying over to sit down and directly start eating.

Seeing this, Elisa also followed closely behind.

Although the two's flight speed was very fast, this round trip, and undergoing such a large amount of exercise.

Indeed consumed quite a bit of physical strength.

And over here.

When Lan Qingyou tossed the Yo-yo in her hand to Arthur.

Arthur only saw a black shadow, and without thinking much, reached out to catch it.

After all, this was given to him by a Great Alchemist and Grand Magus.

As for the 'fatty' in her address...

Joking, what's there to say about this?

He was originally fat anyway.

Wasn't being called fatty a matter of course.

However, when Arthur clearly saw what the thing in his hand was, he nearly failed to catch his breath.

After all, no matter what, he was the child of an Earl's family.

From childhood to adulthood, probably the most terrifying thing he had ever seen was the tombstones in the cemetery.

So when he saw that he was holding a stone-like thing in his hands, not being scared to death on the spot already meant his psychological fortitude was strong.

However, even so, it would be within reason to directly let go and throw it away.

But Arthur couldn't do it.

Don't ask.

Asking means it was given by someone else.

Asking means being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor, being happy beyond measure.

"This... this..."

But after the flurry of panic, Arthur, who felt it was neither right to throw it away nor right not to throw it away, finally saw clearly exactly what the thing in his hand was.

"Britt Rats!?"

When he saw there was a bony whip on the back of that rat's head, Arthur instantly recognized what this thing was.

"It actually, actually is Britt Rats?"

"Wait... why would these rats exist inside the Wailing Marsh after all?"

While feeling it was unbelievable, Arthur looked towards Lan Qingyou and Elisa.

"Oh, you recognize them? There are a lot in the marshland, at least tens of thousands. Although we dealt with a batch just now, these rats know how to dig holes, who knows how many more are hidden underground."

Lan Qingyou, eating steak, mumbled like this.

"What! They're actually underground!?"

"Wait... so then those people who entered the Wailing Marsh, didn't they all..."

Speaking up to here, Arthur didn't continue speaking.

Instead, he looked at the two who were eating.

After all, other people were eating, to say any more, that would be impolite...
