Chapter 932: Asking for the [Throne of Bones]

Not expecting Elisa to come, Lan Qingyou put down the work in her hands.

Taking Feng, who was studying in the room next to the workshop, she went to the drawing room.

Then, she saw Elisa, whom she hadn't seen for two or three months.

And behind Elisa, there was also a little boy wearing an eyepatch over one eye.

But Lan Qingyou didn't care about him.

Because Elisa alone was already enough to attract her attention.

"What kind of look is this?"

When she saw Elisa, Lan Qingyou felt a wave of speechlessness in her heart.

The current Elisa had cut her hair short, the shoulder-length kind.

Her white coat was still that white coat, but the material had been changed, and the enchantments had also been changed.

She had become more focused on her image.

Rather than her previous focus on practicality.

'Mhm...'

Simply put, it used to have more functional enchantments, such as heat preservation, self-cleaning, and the like.

But now it had additional enchantments like fragrance and illumination.

To put it bluntly, this guy had directly turned her previous 'background special effects' into enchantments.

She really couldn't understand what use this kind of enchantment had.

Not to mention its poor practicality, it would also take up an enchantment slot.

Although clothes in reality wouldn't have a quantity limit like equipment slots in a game.

But the surface area was fixed.

The larger the area, the greater the number of enchantments.

Conversely, the smaller it was.

So clothing enchantments usually leaned towards practicality, except for formal dresses.

Of course.

If it were just this, Lan Qingyou wouldn't be speechless.

After all, the other party was a genius who could even come up with 'background special effects'.

What truly rendered her speechless was this guy's face.

Previously, this guy had nothing on her face.

Even if she needed to appraise something, she would just take out a monocle and clip it onto her eye to observe.

But now.

This guy had directly embedded the monocle into her eye.

This made her look somewhat bizarre.

Hearing Lan Qingyou's voice, Elisa turned her head and looked behind her.

There stood the little girl named Feng.

"Who is this little girl?"

Elisa didn't answer Lan Qingyou's question.

Instead, she asked her a question in return.

"Feng, a disciple I took in about half a month ago. How is it? Pretty good, right?"

Completely ignoring the other party's counter-question, Lan Qingyou floated over to the sofa opposite Elisa with a face full of pride and directly lay down on her side.

Then she propped her head on her hand and looked at the little boy behind the other party.

Meanwhile, Feng, just like the little boy behind Elisa, stood behind Lan Qingyou.

"What about this little boy? A disciple you took in?"

As if she were provoking her.

Lan Qingyou didn't hide her desire to compete with the other party at all.

However, Elisa didn't take the bait.

"This is... my younger brother, Hohenheim."

Elisa's answer made Lan Qingyou roll her eyes directly.

Who here didn't know who was who?

Younger brother?

Where would a transmigrator like you get a younger brother?

"He's from the Aureolus Family?"

This was the only possible answer.

"The next head of the family."

"..."

Understood.

Lan Qingyou nodded.

After taking a meaningful glance at the little boy, she slowly spoke.

"Are you not planning to keep your Demon Eye anymore?"

Demon Eye.

This was an extremely important thing for a Witch.

But now, this guy had actually placed one of her eyes into the eye of the 'younger brother' behind her.

This made Lan Qingyou feel very surprised.

"An attempt."

Elisa naturally knew what Lan Qingyou meant.

But she didn't take it seriously at all.

"Alright, this kind of thing really is up to the individual."

Since the person involved didn't take her own eye seriously.

Naturally, as an outsider, she couldn't say much.

But...

"Although I don't know what you plan to experiment on, and I'm not interested either, for it to be related to the Demon Eye, it must be some interesting attempt, right?"

Lan Qingyou grinned.

Because she knew this guy was engaged in biological research.

So for her to separate her Demon Eye and install it on someone else, and also claim it was an attempt.

Then it definitely had to be related to the Demon Eye.

If she thought deeper about it, it might even involve the Witch Race.

"Indeed there is, but don't worry, things that shouldn't appear in this place will absolutely not appear."

Elisa didn't deny Lan Qingyou's guess.

But she naturally had her principles.

Lan Qingyou could naturally hear this point.

But towards Elisa's cautiousness in this regard, she also shook her head.

Some established facts had already formed. No matter how one tried to maintain it, when it was time for chaos, it would still become chaotic.

So she didn't care at all about things like butterfly effects or time paradoxes.

"So, what did you come to my place for?"

For them, the previous conversation was just an ordinary opening remark.

The serious business was only starting now.

"I came here of course to congratulate you on your fortune, Your Excellency Marquis Maple Leaf."

Elisa smiled.

This wasn't mockery, but Lan Qingyou felt there was a hidden meaning in the other party's words.

"Just say what you have to say, cut out this fake stuff."

Lan Qingyou curled her lips.

The matter of her becoming a marquis was currently spreading like crazy in the noble circles.

Even after a month or so had passed, it was still a topic of conversation among the nobles in the Imperial Capital.

"I came for two matters this time."

"Hoho, speak."

"One is to let you see my younger brother."

"Hohenheim, I know. His ability is not bad, his potential is only slightly inferior to little Feng's."

"Mhm. Then the second matter, I need the production formula for a magical item. It's in the Royal Treasury. You've been there, so you should have seen it, right?"

Elisa looked at Lan Qingyou with bright eyes.

Although Lan Qingyou hadn't revealed the ability of her Demon Eye.

But getting along for over half a year had allowed Elisa to roughly guess Lan Qingyou's Demon Eye ability.

Although it wasn't an offensive type.

This kind of auxiliary type was often even trickier.

But as for herself, there wouldn't be any conflict with the other party.

So it didn't really matter.

As for Lan Qingyou, upon hearing the other party even utter the words 'production formula', she knew the ability of her Demon Eye couldn't be hidden.

Or rather, after getting along for this period of time, she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

Just like how she could roughly guess what the other party's Demon Eye ability was.

A one-for-one exchange.

It wasn't too much of a loss.

"Just say it, what is it?"

"The Throne of Bones."

"Hoo..."

The moment the name came out.

Lan Qingyou's body couldn't help but lean back.

She had indeed seen this Throne of Bones thing, and she also knew the production formula.

But what did Elisa, or rather Aureolus, want this thing for?

One had to know that although the name Throne of Bones sounded very classy.

In reality, it was just a magical item made from the bones of several kinds of Magic Beasts;

Used to enhance the strength and endurance of necromancy, mental, and soul types.
