Chapter 836: Two Witches, Agreeing to Fight Again

"You..."

Although she knew Lan Qingyou was shameless.

She didn't expect the other party to actually be shameless to this degree.

Back then, she had conceded because the other party was going to reveal the secret of her Sons of Danu.

Thinking about it now, she had still been too young at the time.

Being slightly provoked by the other party made her raise her hand.

Now it was great.

She was directly grasped dead to rights by the other party regarding this matter, to the point that she couldn't even do anything if she wanted to retort.

Fine, since she couldn't retort, then she wouldn't retort.

Elisa cast away the reserved coldness on her face.

With a grin, she assumed a stance, ready to argue vehemently with Lan Qingyou.

And as the mana on her body was mobilized, the surrounding mana began to become unstable.

Horn, this martial artist, might have been a bit better off.

But Nikolai, who was inherently sensitive to mana, could clearly feel that mana, which was like blazing flames from hell that would burn anyone who got slightly close.

For a person with a cold exterior, why was her inner mana expression like this?

Nikolai was somewhat puzzled.

Because this completely contradicted the widely accepted thesis "Personality and Mana: A Necessary Correlation Between the Two".

But now wasn't the time to talk about this.

Thinking about how the black-robed girl's magic was a meteor shower, he didn't even dare to imagine how this white-robed girl's magic would manifest.

After all, this was the Imperial Capital.

Absolutely nothing could go wrong.

Thus, he immediately reached out his hand, preparing to block them.

However, right at this moment, another mass of mana ignited beside him, as cold as solid ice in the deep sea.

Needless to say, this belonged to Lan Qingyou.

In an instant.

Nikolai and Horn, and even the entire Knight Order Garrison and the people in the surroundings felt these two mana streams of contrasting ice and fire.

All at once, everyone felt like fish suddenly thrown from the water onto the shore.

Opening their mouths wanting to breathe, yet unable to inhale much air at all.

This... damn it...

Why was the mana of a girl who looked sunny so cold?

This didn't fit the definition of the thesis either!

Why?

Was it because the enthusiasm and coldness on the exteriors of these two were both faked?

In reality, were their inner hearts completely inconsistent with what they displayed on the surface?

That must be it. Only in this way could the differences in the nature of their mana be explained.

As a researcher, Nikolai strongly believed in theories.

He didn't think it was an error in the theory, so this kind of error could only appear on the people themselves.

Of course, these things didn't seem important right now.

The important thing was that if these two Title-holding powerhouses started fighting, the Imperial Capital would probably not survive!

"Wait! Wait! You two, calm down! Calm down!"

Nikolai gathered his courage and grabbed Horn next to him, hauling him between Lan Qingyou and Elisa.

And don't even ask how he, a frail alchemist, managed to haul a burly Knight Commander in.

Anyway, the moment Horn appeared, the two powerful mana streams instantly disappeared.

The surrounding people were finally able to catch their breath.

Phew—

Nikolai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you two want to... spar, you can go to a specialized arena after you've settled down. There is protective magic there that will allow you two to unleash your skills."

"Of course, if you could recreate that battle between alchemists, rather than a battle between mages, that would be even better."

Nikolai's back was dripping with cold sweat, but he walked between the two with a smiling face, standing together with the already stiff-bodied Horn.

Must be joking.

Battles between mages and whatnot should be prevented as much as possible.

As for battles between alchemists...

He truly wanted to watch.

It seemed Nikolai's persuasion had worked.

In short, the original feeling of drawn swords and bent bows between the two was gone, replaced by the same 'warm' atmosphere as before.

"Then let's wait until three days from now, when everyone is prepared, before fighting."

Elisa spoke up.

Although her tone was as cold as before, it wasn't hard to hear that this fight was unavoidable.

They had to fight.

No matter who came, it wouldn't work.

Otherwise, she would suffer from the Tower Witch this girl bringing it up in the future.

They were all people with status and prestige, people who could live for over a thousand years.

If she was grasped by this, wouldn't she be laughed at for the long years to come?

Elisa couldn't endure the thought of this outcome at all.

And the reason why she set it for three days later was that she did indeed need to prepare a bit.

Whether it was matters concerning the Workshop or the materials needed for battle, they all had to be handled in advance first.

If fighting Lan Qingyou right now meant emptying her pockets.

Then under prepared circumstances, it would be displaying what she wanted to display.

They were completely two different concepts.

Moreover, it was a battle between alchemists.

Then that required even more preparation.

It was still the same phrase.

She didn't want to bring out her Sons of Danu for these natives to see, avoiding any impact a thousand years down the line.

Alright.

Actually, she didn't have any Sons of Danu on hand either.

Those homunculi required cultivation tanks and nutrient fluid.

Just the formulation alone wasn't something that could be completed in a short time.

Let alone two or three days, even two or three months might not be enough to finish the processes of proportioning, producing, debugging, applying, and so on.

"Alright, then three days from now."

So...

Lan Qingyou also accepted Elisa's challenge.

Although this battle seemed to have started somewhat inexplicably, there were actually clues long ago.

For instance, ever since it ended so ambiguously last time.

This battle was destined to take place.

It was just that neither Lan Qingyou nor Elisa had expected that they would resume this battle a thousand years in the past.

To the two parties involved, it was pretty much just that.

But in the eyes of Nikolai and Horn, the battle between the two made them both eager for a try.

They had a feeling of wanting to fast-forward to three days later.

Subsequently, under the gazes of Nikolai and Horn, the two packed up their Tents and prepared to take the people to the villa.

"Um... Miss Lan..."

Right at this moment, Horn came over.

"What's wrong?"

Lan Qingyou looked at this guy strangely.

"Um... I wonder if this kind of powered armor can be equipped on a person."

Horn rubbed his hands and cautiously asked Lan Qingyou.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, this thing was equipable.

If his Knight Order had this thing, then their combat power would definitely soar by more than just one level.

As for those cavalry and mage forms or whatever, he didn't think much about it.

As long as there was this infantry version armor, it would be fine.

He wasn't picky.

However...

"This thing weighs around five hundred catties a set, are you sure your men can wear it?"

Lan Qingyou curiously asked Horn back.

Hiss—

Five hundred catties?

"No, I saw that the armor didn't seem to be very thick either."

"It's made through alchemy, what did you think?"

Nikolai snorted disdainfully from the side.

This guy really looked down on alchemists.

"Is that so... then... that's truly a pity..."

His idea having fallen through, Horn drooped his head, waved his hand, and dejectedly had everyone leave.

And right at this time, a clamor came from the direction of the camp gate...
