Chapter 948: Sweating Profusely, Aren't You

Still the familiar taste.

After Lan Qingyou greeted little Feng.

She lifted a bunch of members of the Flamingo Knights and Horn and flew directly towards the Imperial Capital.

After all, no matter how fast their small wildebeests ran, they couldn't catch up to the speed of flight.

A straight line is the shortest distance between two points.

Coupled with Lan Qingyou's speed.

They roughly flew to the Imperial Capital on the same day.

At this time, after several months of reconstruction.

The area in the western part of the city that had originally been leveled and burned no longer had the dilapidated look from before.

Looking closely, Lan Qingyou only then discovered that it turned out a layer of gold had been painted on the roofs.

This was a type of hardened resin.

Its main use was for making insect repellent Potions, or powdered ointments for smearing.

Of course.

Not processing it and directly smearing it like now was fine too.

It was just that the medicinal effect would be slightly worse.

It could be said to be an emergency method.

The appearance of this kind of thing on buildings meant an insect plague had occurred in this place.

Although Lan Qingyou hadn't seen it.

She had seen it in the miscellaneous books of this space-time.

"It seems something incredible has happened in the Imperial Capital."

Lan Qingyou floated in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the buildings below.

Originally, she thought an insect plague had occurred in the western part of the city, the place that had previously experienced battle.

But after seeing this situation in the central and even northern parts of the Imperial Capital, she knew this matter wasn't simple.

After all, an insect plague wasn't a big deal in front of magic.

As long as they weren't monsterized insects, basically just using this resin a little would be enough.

But now, this stuff was painted on buildings all over the city.

To tell the truth.

In this case, then it definitely wasn't just simply guarding against insects.

After all, even she had been summoned.

"Some things indeed happened."

Horn nodded, but didn't say much.

To tell the truth, he had been holding it in so much on this journey.

For no other reason than because he hadn't explained the matter of this summons to Lan Qingyou at all.

Given his personality, he definitely would have spoken out about the matters here long ago.

But the old Emperor wouldn't let him.

So he couldn't say much either.

This was also why Lan Qingyou needed to observe and deduce herself.

"Your Excellency, please descend."

"Hmm?"

When Lan Qingyou flew over a certain building, Horn behind her shouted, confusing her.

"What's wrong?"

Lan Qingyou turned her head and asked, not understanding the reason.

"It's already very late now, let's just rest at this hotel first."

Rest?

Horn's words were puzzling.

I finally spent so much time flying over here, and you want me to rest?

Then what did you hurriedly look for me for?

To tell the truth, Lan Qingyou was somewhat angry.

She even already aimed her gaze towards the direction of the distant Imperial Palace.

This made Horn's scalp tingle.

There was no way, this indeed wasn't a stunt just anyone could pull.

Especially on this kind of ancestor.

So he immediately tried to swim towards Lan Qingyou in the air using both hands and feet like breaststroke.

However, this was in the air, and what he was paddling was air, not water.

So this action was completely futile.

"Wait, wait, Your Excellency Marquis, wait first..."

Horn shouted at the top of his lungs, deeply afraid that Lan Qingyou would throw something down to smooth her breathing if she got unhappy.

"Give me an explanation."

Sitting on the Destruction Magic Staff, Lan Qingyou coldly looked down at Horn.

What a joke, her time was very precious.

Leaving everything else aside.

Just teaching little Feng would take a very long time.

As a result, after coming here, she was actually asked to rest?

An Alchemist was either stirring up trouble or on the way to stir up trouble.

Where was there any 'rest'?

And Horn here was directly Sweating Profusely.

Just one look made Horn, this battlefield-tested Commander, feel a chill down his spine.

There was no way. If this person really made a move, he felt his most decent outcome would be an intact corpse.

There was no other possibility.

"Cough..."

Seeing Lan Qingyou didn't directly make a move, but left room for dialogue.

Although his back was covered in cold sweat, Horn couldn't help but sigh in relief.

As long as they could communicate.

His only fear was the other party refusing to communicate.

"It's like this, because His Majesty hasn't only summoned you alone this time, so we still need to wait."

After a tactical cough, Horn very carefully explained to Lan Qingyou.

"Oh! Is that so?"

She wasn't the only one summoned.

Which meant others were summoned too, perhaps even Elisa was among them.

Although the two were in a cooperative relationship.

But ever since they gave each other research materials last time, they hadn't seen each other again.

If even Elisa was coming, then she could wait a bit.

Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou descended directly.

She placed the group on the road next to the building below her.

Pedestrians on the street, seeing people falling from the sky, all dodged far away.

"It's just a hotel?"

After lowering her altitude, Lan Qingyou looked up at the building in front of her.

Although it looked magnificently built.

Because it was smeared with resin, the entire building looked very uncoordinated.

Moreover, a peculiar smell of this resin emanated in the air.

Couldn't say it stank.

But it definitely didn't smell good.

After all, resin relied on this odor to drive away insects.

"Right, it's here."

Saying that, Horn led Lan Qingyou in.

Checking in was very simple.

Or rather, this was the royally designated hotel.

Under the circumstance that she had already moved away from the Imperial Capital, Lan Qingyou couldn't possibly go back to live in that riverside villa from before.

That's why this place was arranged.

And when Lan Qingyou moved in, she discovered that many people she had seen before were also staying here.

Although they were the kind she hadn't spoken to.

But she had seen them all.

They were those people she had seen during the last time she entered the Imperial Palace to discuss matters.

Among them were Title Holders, and also some generals.

The commonality among these people was that they all rushed over from other places.

As for those who originally had residences in the Imperial Capital, they stayed in their own mansions.

Because she had to wait.

So Lan Qingyou wasn't in a hurry either.

Just like this, she quietly waited while hand-rubbing magic golems.

"You're here."

"I'm here."

"Just arrived?"

"I took a trip to the Royal Workshop side."

After Lan Qingyou leisurely waited for three days.

Elisa really did come.

And not long after arriving in the Imperial Capital, she came to the hotel where Lan Qingyou was staying.

"Came specifically to find me?"

"If you think so, then so be it."

Elisa, who walked into the room, sat on the sofa unceremoniously, as if returning to her own home.

And then she changed into a comfortable posture.

Lan Qingyou turned a blind eye to this action.

Still sitting on the floor piled with parts, manufacturing items.
