Chapter 826: Stealing My Lines!?

"Indeed, if it were just an ordinary person, they certainly couldn't do this. But what if she isn't an ordinary person?"

Elisa said disdainfully.

"Why don't you have the alchemist beside you take a closer look with his appraisal glasses and see for yourself?"

Since she knew the other party was Nikolai.

Then he definitely had something like appraisal glasses.

Rather, for an alchemist, something like appraisal glasses was a necessity to begin with.

In fact, the monocle resting on his eye, which was the same style as her own, was very likely used for appraisal.

However!

After hearing Elisa's words.

"I have a slight problem with this eye."

This was how Nikolai explained it.

...

So this was your actual appraisal tool?

But whatever, as long as it could appraise, it was fine.

At least her suggestion wasn't wasted.

"Hiss—"

And after Nikolai appraised Lan Qingyou, just like Adams before him.

He also drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

"Lord Nikolai, what's the situation?"

Seeing Nikolai's astonished expression, Horn asked with some curiosity.

One had to know that the other party was a Title Holder.

An existence that could be counted on one hand in this world.

There were originally very few things that could surprise him, yet it actually happened because of this girl who sprouted lies as soon as she opened her mouth.

"You are also a Title Holder?"

"How about it? Do you believe it now?"

Lan Qingyou grinned.

In reality, in this world where mana reigned supreme, if there was anything that didn't make sense or couldn't be understood.

Directly blaming it on this 'World Title' was definitely the right choice.

This was a rule of thumb that Lan Qingyou and Elisa had concluded from reading books during this period of time.

To put it bluntly, it was still 'strength is paramount'.

Because no one would question a person chosen by this 'god'.

Nikolai and Horn's previous doubts regarding mana were actually based on the same principle.

In this world a thousand years ago, because the World Will bestowed titles, even ordinary people could obtain great conveniences.

This point remained equally valid a thousand years later.

It was just that compared to these natives from a thousand years ago, they, the Transmigrators sold by the Blue Star Will, had some extra benefits.

For example, this talent.

In fact, it was something with the exact same efficacy as a title.

Whether your talent was E-rank or SSS-rank, it contained the mighty power bestowed by the World Will.

This was why Lan Qingyou didn't need to consume massive amounts of mana to drag down those meteorites residing in outer space.

Or rather, consumption was definitely necessary too.

But what was consumed was not mana.

But another kind of 'energy source' completely different from mana.

You could call it 'Divine Power', or you could call it 'the willpower of the World Will'.

In short, a completely different system was used when activating a talent.

Although this theory was also something Lan Qingyou and Elisa had figured out over the past few days.

And there was nothing to corroborate this point either.

But at the very least, understanding it this way was absolutely not a problem.

By the same logic.

The benefits bestowed by a title were actually not mana either, but 'Divine Power'.

It was just that the locals didn't know anything about the World Will.

It was that simple.

Therefore.

If you wanted to, you could also call people who possessed a title 'Divine Envoys'.

That is—'users of Divine Power'.

As for why this resulted in giving them more than the locals.

That was naturally to save lives!

You had to know that Lan Qingyou and her fellow transmigrators were originally sold here to save this world.

So in order to increase their strength.

In return, they definitely had to be given something to raise their 'starting line'.

Otherwise, they might be even more useless than the local natives.

Saving the world, or rather, saving the World Will, would then be completely out of the question.

And this thing was 'Talent'.

Lan Qingyou had observed this.

The natives didn't possess talent skills or racial talents.

Therefore, she was still very certain about this point.

"A Title Holder, huh..."

"What! A Title Holder!"

After Nikolai 'exposed' Lan Qingyou's identity, the first to be surprised wasn't Commander Horn, who had been doubting her earlier.

But Arthur, who was standing to the side with a professional smile on his face.

However, his sudden exclamation gave Horn, who was still ruminating, a start.

"Hey! Fatty, what are you so shocked about! If anyone should be shocked, it should be me!"

Horn cursed out loud.

It was the truth, after all.

According to the normal flow of the script, he, the person who had raised the doubts, should have been the most shocked one.

That was how it was written in all those knightly novels.

In the end, not only was this guy who brought the two of them from the north more shocked than himself.

He even stole his lines!

How could this not make him complain?

"This... Haha, sorry, sorry, I really didn't know about this."

"All I knew was that they are alchemists and that these two young ladies possess extraordinary magic, just these two things."

Arthur also felt wronged.

After all, when that guy Adams found him, he only revealed that the two were 'wild alchemists'.

Even the magic part was something he only found out during the time he spent with them.

As for being 'extraordinary archmages', that was only confirmed by the meteorites and meteor shower last night.

"Since Miss Lan Qingyou is a Title Holder, then Miss Elisa here should be one too, right?"

Nikolai looked towards Elisa.

However, when he looked over, he didn't place the magnifying glass in his hand over his eye.

Instead, he simply let it hang down, giving up on appraising her this time.

Hmm!

Seeing this situation, both Elisa herself and Lan Qingyou were somewhat surprised.

But they immediately understood his reason for doing so.

The haughtiness Elisa had displayed earlier was Nicolas Romé's most direct reason for doing this.

It was unclear why things were like this.

But they had to admit that the emotional intelligence of this guy, one of the Twin Moons of the Empire, was indeed quite good.

As for why he appraised Lan Qingyou.

Wasn't it because Elisa had told him to?

The very first scene he saw of the two of them standing together was them teasing each other.

That showed that the two of them had a very good relationship.

So when one told him to appraise the other, and the other didn't express any objection, it was tacit consent.

And after seeing that the other party was actually so 'tactful', Elisa also tucked away her haughtiness.

"How are you so sure?"

She nodded.

Although she didn't directly admit to Nikolai's statement.

This counter-question itself was a kind of answer.

"Are you for real!"

Hearing that there was actually another Title Holder, Horn opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But just as he was about to speak, his line was stolen by Arthur again.

So after opening his mouth, Horn simply closed it.

Forget it, he was tired.

Let it be.

Just say whatever you want, I'll just listen.

And after being asked, Nikolai smiled, and then proceeded to state his reasoning.
