Chapter 949: A Bit Clashing
"Yes."
"You still need to make magic golems?"
"The territory needs them."
"Hmm..."
Elisa, sitting on the sofa resting her cheek on her hand, froze for a moment.
Then she turned her head and stared at Lan Qingyou with an astonished expression.
"What's wrong?"
Being stared at made Lan Qingyou a bit uncomfortable, and she frowned.
"It's really surprising... you actually consider others."
Her tone was filled with surprise, astonishment, and disbelief.
Who was Lan Qingyou?
Considering others?
Such a thing was fundamentally impossible.
In Elisa's eyes, Lan Qingyou was an out-and-out Witch whose every action had a motive and was premeditated.
Yet she would actually waste her own time to make things like magic golems for the territory?
Just like there were bound to be differences between people.
The same applied between Alchemists.
As far as she knew, magic golems were divided into two types.
One was the magic golems made by the [Witch of the High Tower] before her.
The other was the magic golems made by 'other Alchemists'.
And compared to Lan Qingyou's magic golems, the magic golems of other Alchemists were like the difference between a machine and a smart robot.
This 'other' even included herself.
After all, her main focus was Homunculi.
So when she saw Lan Qingyou actually making magic golems for the territory, Elisa was completely dumbfounded.
Was this still the Tower Witch she knew?
Leaving behind things that she could call her 'supreme masterpieces' for others to use?
This was something fundamentally unimaginable in the space-time a thousand years later.
Even knowing the other party cared a lot about the Dark Witches.
But she also knew it was definitely not to this extent.
Especially when that little girl was still a human.
Don't think she didn't know Lan Qingyou actually hated humans very much.
"I heard earlier that you gave both the territory and the title to that little girl. I didn't expect you would actually consider her safety now as well."
Elisa couldn't help but sigh.
Anyway, the ending was just like that.
So she didn't care much about the Aureolus Family.
To her, as long as she ensured Hohenheim, her ancestor, didn't kick the bucket, it was fine.
Whatever else happened, she would just let nature take its course.
But seeing Lan Qingyou prepare so much now.
Previously, she even put a magic barrier over the territory. She felt something was amiss back then.
Now it seemed it was indeed amiss.
Twelve out of ten points amiss.
"You haven't taken a liking to that girl, have you?"
Elisa, knowing that things like disciples weren't taken in easily, had probably grasped Lan Qingyou's pulse.
Unless this fellow really liked someone.
Otherwise, she absolutely wouldn't waste her time doing these things.
Rather than saying that, compared to herself.
Lan Qingyou should be in greater need of quickly finding a way to restore her soul.
After all, she was the one with the injured soul, not herself.
Although Lan Qingyou didn't say much.
But she knew that once this kind of soul damage was formed, it eroded the spirit every single moment.
That kind of pain was definitely not something an ordinary person could endure.
Otherwise, why would those soul-type magics be said to be so powerful and negative?
The key lay exactly in this point.
Therefore.
No matter how you looked at it, this kind of time-wasting behavior wasn't worth it.
Especially from a Witch's perspective.
"I plan to leave everything I've learned so far behind, so that girl can live a bit longer."
"I see. Then it seems you really have taken a liking to her. Is her potential really that great?"
Elisa was curious.
To be able to change a Witch was an amazing thing no matter how you looked at it.
That meant that little girl definitely had extraordinary qualities.
Although she knew the other party was very likely the 'Master Feng' who had also brought convenience to herself.
She still couldn't help but be suspicious.
This was out of a cautious mindset a Witch maintained towards things.
"It's indeed very great. In just a few months, she has already learned some simple magic arrays and magics I created myself."
"Oh ho, that's indeed very impressive. By the way, in what aspect?"
"Tides."
"..."
Elisa fell silent.
The power of the tides.
This was the biggest driving force behind the Mana Tides and magic turbulence outbreaks a thousand years later.
She didn't expect this 'Master Feng' to actually master this highly difficult magical operation in just a few months.
You must know, the most fatal part of the power of the tides lay in its chaos.
Finding a pattern in the chaos was basically impossible.
So wanting to control or utilize this power required a massive amount of mental energy to focus.
And grasp the movement of every turbulent current.
And it was exactly because of this level of complexity.
That Elisa herself wouldn't dare say she completely controlled it.
Yet Master Feng learned it in a few months and mastered it.
Although this was very likely just the initial level of mastery and hadn't reached the point of proficiency.
But it was still scary enough.
However...
"You didn't give her a Witch Potion or something to drink, did you?"
Elisa was somewhat suspicious.
After all, no matter how you looked at her, the little girl didn't seem to be an existence with strong mental power.
So perhaps Lan Qingyou used a Witch Potion on the other party, turning her into a Witch.
Only then did she have sufficient confidence to control it.
Otherwise, it could really only be said that Master Feng was formidable.
"That, I haven't."
Lan Qingyou shook her head.
She only gave the Witch Potion to little Feng, so strictly speaking, she hadn't given it to her to drink.
To turn the other party into a Witch.
Which meant Lan Qingyou's words and actions didn't contain the slightest element of a 'lie'.
"I really envy you for having an eye that can see through everything."
"If I had one, that would be great. Maybe I could also find a qualified heir to inherit my title and territory."
"Or rather, inherit my Biological Thaumaturgy technology."
Seeing Lan Qingyou indeed wasn't lying.
Elisa couldn't help but become envious.
After all, an heir like this could be considered perfect.
Leaving everything else aside.
Just teaching her should be an extremely comfortable thing to do.
After all, whatever she said, the other party could comprehend.
Just watching the progress bar soar was something that could bring joy to people.
Not to mention that after cultivating an Alchemist capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with herself, they could even exchange opinions and views when there was nothing to do.
Thereby gaining new inspiration and the like.
"Stop joking around, aren't your eyes quite good too? At least they prevent me from seeing through your condition."
Lan Qingyou shrugged.
Speaking of which, their eyes really were incompatible.
One could see through things, while the other prevented people from seeing through.
No matter how you looked at it, this felt like being targeted.
"This is for protection, protection. Who doesn't know what kind of stuff Transmigrators are? Protecting oneself a little is justifiable, right?"
Elisa laughed it off.
Then she brought the topic back on track.
"I heard the members of your territory's Knight Order all have that family emblem I designed on the back of their hands?"
