it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their discussion gave him a 'very wild' feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something that an academic type like him could absolutely never say or think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, something that he would highly likely overlook even if he saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just how did you two learn alchemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Nikolai couldn't suppress himself and spat out this sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A small part self-study, mostly discussion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, it's roughly like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they did indeed spend most of their time self-studying, in reality, on crucial issues, many conclusions were reached through discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, she truly couldn't understand why this Tower Witch, Lan Qingyou, would want to create something like a race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in her view, although the Tower Witch appeared to be someone who just did things for fun on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And acted like she enjoyed seeking amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, she was very likely someone who liked quiet even more than herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it was exactly this kind of person who unexpectedly created a Witch Race and even arranged a 'Witch Queen' title for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, after she learned the news, she even thought the Tower Witch had gone crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when her own homunculus technology matured and even reached mass production, she finally realized that there were indeed benefits to having many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she didn't deliberately guide them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining sentience, due to the characteristics of the Witch Race, they would gradually start pursuing the true meaning of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Elisa discovered the ingenuity behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the point where she later began discussing things with the Tower Witch, a person whose 'ideologies clashed' with hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling at that time was very smooth, without the slightest bit of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys... self-taught?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou said it very easily, and Elisa agreed very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But listening to it, it changed flavor in Nikolai's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had current alchemy been downgraded to the level of a roadside stall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that true alchemy was extremely systematic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It required a massive foundation of basic disciplines as support to truly learn it and become a capable alchemist who could hold their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the main reason why so many people entered the Alchemy Department of the Imperial Academy every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the end, only a few could actually graduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving everything else aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just herbology alone, from identification to memorizing pharmacology, was enough to drive someone away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the subsequent identification of monster materials and potionology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the end, you're telling me both of you are self-taught?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the key point is that you both succeeded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nikolai fell into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not doubt their knowledge and abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, just the blue orb of light hanging on that black-robed girl's magic broom, which was used to dispel monsters, was enough to prove that they had practical ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that Arthur had even secretly slipped him a bottle of milky-white Healing Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Healing Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Milky-white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a niche combination of words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, if they were to pull out some green Healing Potion, he wouldn't even find it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... geniuses did exist in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least before they appeared, he and Albert were the geniuses in the mouths of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, he had finally witnessed what it meant to have 'always a bigger fish'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was perhaps a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their appearance was definitely a good thing for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just their discussion moments ago had given him no small amount of inspiration and insight, the kind where he could immediately start experimenting once he got back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listening to your discussion just now, I discovered a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slightly calming his somewhat fluctuating emotions, Nikolai spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He very tactfully did not ask how the two of them were self-taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for people like them, the process was often not as important as the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once the result was wrong, then the process would inevitably be completely overturned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nikolai only looked at their results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With results, one was a good alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without results, one was garbage that couldn't even be considered an apprentice alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, there were many people who wanted to sneak in and get themselves the title of an alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the status of an alchemist itself could earn a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So genuine alchemists basically tormented such people to death whenever they encountered them, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn't show any mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that they looked down on these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But purely because they were full of pride and honor for their profession itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why the saying 'don't mess with an alchemist' appeared in the markets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they would truly take action, and they wouldn't show any mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stopped their exchange and looked at Nikolai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be considered the greatest respect for this 'mentor' of Elisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nikolai himself could also see this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the discussion just now, it can be seen that you both possess real knowledge and genuine talent, so what are your views on the schools of alchemy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the two were self-taught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it was an academic discipline, a foundation existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when this foundation diverged, it would definitely form schools of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he wasn't worried that these two 'mountain dwellers' wouldn't know about the two major schools of alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is from the Mana Alchemy School, and I am from the Materialism School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou pointed her thumb at Elisa and introduced her to Nikolai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nikolai nodded in understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just listening to the discussion moments ago, even without knowing the words, one could still hear that the two belonged to different schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he didn't expect the one from the Mana Alchemy School like him would actually be the white-robed little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he thought the black-robed little girl, whose mana capacity was even larger and whose expression of mana was even more thorough, would be from the Mana Alchemy School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect Miss Elisa to actually be a member of the Mana Alchemy School, how truly rude of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nikolai remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very unexpected?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Nikolai's directness, Lan Qingyou smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this guy knew that in order not to use materials, Elisa had actually refined her entire person into a crucible, she wondered how he would feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou wouldn't say this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no matter how one looked at it, this kind of thing was Elisa's own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were to run her mouth and continue speaking, that would be impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it's about time. Rest early tonight. At our normal speed, we'll be able to reach the Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, there were no longer any important emergency matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no need to run for a whole day and night like yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resting well and traveling slowly was the most comfortable thing for Nikolai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he himself couldn't quite hold on just a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the caravan hadn't descended from the sky, and if the people on it didn't happen to be those who could resolve the 'meteor shower incident'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he might have had to suffer even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after gaining a general understanding of the two, Nikolai checked the time and then impatiently stood up to announce tomorrow's itinerary to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because he really wanted to rest quickly, he forgot one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone... could fly...\u003C\u002Fp>",1269,"2026-06-05T21:58:51.986Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b6334274a0d4c8d0be89817802ce85109fd999a73f71f3df8fe43042dbe3a10","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-827","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-825",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
