Chapter 841: The Emerald Tablet Returning to Hand

"Ah... I'm tired..."

Stretching herself out paralyzingly on the sofa of the riverside villa, Elisa rarely let out a rough voice that didn't fit her identity and temperament.

Very obviously, she was truly tired.

Just over half an hour ago, she had just finished her interactions with the Old Emperor, nobles, ministers, and so on in the palace.

And after finishing, she immediately came here.

Although she was still wearing her white robe at this moment.

But there was an extra green wool shawl around her neck that drooped all the way down to her knees.

Needless to say.

This was definitely a product of acknowledging her ancestors and returning to her clan.

Lan Qingyou placed a cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Then she came to the window and looked at those guys wearing robes and green wool shawls outside the villa.

"As you can see, it's because of those guys."

Elisa buried her face into the soft sofa.

This sofa was one she had seen before inside Lan Qingyou's Tent.

So there was no need to worry about whether it would be very dirty.

"Alright, then it seems you're having quite a difficult time."

Lan Qingyou shrugged her shoulders.

Although she didn't know where this girl went with that group of people last night.

But after all, she had entered the Aureolus Family by relying on telling the 'truth'.

Then there were definitely layers upon layers of tests or this and that matter.

"Anyway, I don't really understand you rich people's families."

Lan Qingyou had money and strength, but that didn't mean her family was like this in the past either.

If they had to compare.

Then Lan Qingyou was equivalent to a nouveau riche.

And the kind that became rich very brutally.

She was an existence disliked by the so-called noble class, or families with long-standing scholarly origins.

But very obviously.

Nobody in Karim a thousand years later cared about this.

If one could become nouveau riche, then definitely the more nouveau riche the better.

"Not only is it difficult, but also because there is a lot that needs to be learned."

"This is a good thing; I'm very envious. Then did you get any useful information from that old man yesterday?"

"No, or rather, it's not at that stage yet."

Speaking of this, Elisa didn't complain anymore, but sat up and appeared very formal.

"The Aureolus Family originally researches the aspect of Biological Thaumaturgy, so they are a great help to me. What about your side?"

Saying this, Elisa looked at the surrounding bookcases.

This place was originally a study, and Lan Qingyou had stayed here ever since arriving yesterday.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have thrown her own sofa out.

"It's alright. These, plus those Nikolai sent over previously, are enough for me to read."

Lan Qingyou's face was filled with a smile.

Very obviously, she was also extremely satisfied with this place.

In fact, the knowledge she had absorbed in less than a day's time here topped the amount from her previous year.

It could be seen that 'local specialties' still had the most authentic 'flavor' from their place of origin.

"Right, did the Old Emperor say anything on his end? Like about our arrangements or something."

"No arrangements."

"Hmm?"

Lan Qingyou was stunned.

"I think there were originally supposed to be some arrangements, but after learning that I am a princess of the Aureolus Family, he gave up."

Elisa picked up the coffee Lan Qingyou had personally brewed for her and took a sip.

"Wait, what? Princess?"

Although she knew this girl was a noble, suddenly throwing out a 'princess' now still made her lose her composure a bit.

"This matter was also something I only found out after going to the Aureolus Family's alchemical workshop in the Imperial Capital yesterday."

Elisa explained this matter that she knew.

At the end, she also added this sentence.

"To be honest, I also didn't expect that the Aureolus forces in Karim would turn out to be so large."

"Former royal family, current alchemical family... no wonder your family is so obsessed with alchemy; it turns out it's carved into your bones."

Lan Qingyou was dumbfounded.

She never expected that this guy was actually for real.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

The other party's obsession with alchemy and the Emerald Tablet turned out to be rooted in her genes.

Then there was truly nothing to criticize.

"Wait! What about the Emerald Tablet? You couldn't have shown it to the other party, right?"

Lan Qingyou, suddenly thinking of the World Artifact, asked casually.

After all, she was already like this.

Then aren't the people of the Aureolus Family also pursuing the Emerald Tablet?

"How is that possible? If that thing wasn't released to you by the World Will, I reckon it wouldn't even see the light of day again."

Speaking of the Emerald Tablet, Elisa curled her lips and didn't take it seriously.

After all, that thing was just a precise coordinate tracker.

Apart from viewing coordinates, it didn't have much use.

Moreover, although this thing was the pursuit of the Aureolus Family and even the entire alchemist community.

But since it didn't exist in this timeline.

Then she had no reason to bring it out to 'fulfill the dream' of the Aureolus Family in this timeline either.

However, regarding Elisa's unconcern, Lan Qingyou had a different view.

"Is that so... I actually think a World Artifact is very likely not this simple."

"Since it's like this, then take it and research it some more. Anyway, keeping it with me won't yield any research results either."

Saying this, Elisa took out the Emerald Tablet and threw it to Lan Qingyou.

Although she had been very eager for the Emerald Tablet before.

But after truly obtaining it, Elisa discovered that apart from being able to add some levels in the aspect of alchemy, if one really had to talk about any other help, there truly was none at all.

But at least she belonged to the category of 'once owned it'.

So giving it back to Lan Qingyou was nothing.

Of course, the most important thing was still that perhaps some new things could be researched from it with Lan Qingyou.

"If there are any research results, just don't forget to share."

"That's of course no problem."

Lan Qingyou nodded and agreed.

No matter what, a part of their previous transaction was the issue of the Emerald Tablet's ownership.

It was just that now the other party had returned it to her again.

So the promises she should fulfill still had to be done.

Or rather, Elisa's request to 'share' was re-acknowledging that the Emerald Tablet no longer belonged to her, but belonged to Lan Qingyou herself.

Lan Qingyou, having regained the Emerald Tablet, looked down at it.

The thing was still that same thing from before.

It was just that the coordinate numbers on the green stone tablet had reverted back to looking like the thirteen precepts written on it.

"This is equivalent to a reset-like function, right? Anyway, if it's not used for a period of time, it will revert back to its original state."

Seeing that Lan Qingyou was a bit surprised, Elisa explained a bit.

Reset?

Was that really the case?

Although she didn't know what the other party thought.

And she also didn't know what it felt like for the other party to hold this Emerald Tablet.

But just now, after Lan Qingyou received the Emerald Tablet, she felt an extremely familiar sensation.

This familiarity wasn't the kind of 'familiarity' a person had towards a certain object, like a mouse or a keyboard.

But rather, it felt like after a severed arm was suddenly reattached, all the cells in the body were rejoicing in that kind of 'familiarity'.

It was as if the Emerald Tablet itself was an existence that was a part of her own body.

It belonged like hands and feet, eyes, and nose.

When she didn't have it, she didn't feel anything was wrong.

But after having it, she felt that not having it before was what was actually wrong.
