Chapter 965: Haven't Exercised in a Long Time, Still a Bit Tired

Elisa, flying in the air, sighed softly.

When the two entered the airspace above the Imperial Capital, the first thing that caught their eyes was the old Emperor's giant flesh and blood palace.

Originally, the Imperial Palace was considered the landmark building of the entire Imperial Capital.

After being assimilated into a meat tumor, it appeared even larger.

Through their brief time of communication.

Now about one-third of the entire Imperial Capital from the center outwards had been assimilated.

Among which even included that riverside villa Lan Qingyou previously lived in.

At the same time, this meat tumor was still continuously spreading outwards.

Giving people the feeling of an insect nest.

"After all, it devoured so many people and so many buildings, it's not surprising it grew big."

Lan Qingyou curled her lips in disdain.

Although such a large target made her itch to throw something down.

But Elisa's previous analysis was correct.

Even if they destroyed this thing within their field of vision, it couldn't fundamentally strike the other party.

Instead, it would destroy the entire Imperial Capital.

You must know.

Although the Imperial Capital was facing such a major problem right now, there were still quite a few good things inside.

If they were destroyed, they would truly be gone.

"But that thing is called the Flesh and Blood Palace, don't you think it's very similar to someone's Alchemy?"

Lan Qingyou said jokingly.

After all, they had braved this together for several months.

Naturally, she was clear about Elisa's Alchemy named [Flesh and Blood Furnace].

And Elisa, upon hearing Lan Qingyou's teasing, shuddered all over for no reason.

Come to think of it, yes.

She named her own Alchemy [Flesh and Blood Furnace].

And now she actually encountered a thing that named its ability [Flesh and Blood Palace].

Let's not talk about the similarity of the two names for now.

Also let's not talk about that ugly guy down below.

At least in terms of naming taste, it looked very similar no matter how you looked at it.

My taste and that old Emperor's taste are similar!?

Just thinking about that felt disgusting.

"Don't joke, how could this thing compare with my Flesh and Blood Furnace."

Elisa frowned slightly.

Immediately denying Lan Qingyou's teasing.

Anything else was fine.

Only this she found somewhat unacceptable.

"Let's go quickly, at this speed, the devouring will soon reach the Library's side."

However, Lan Qingyou didn't continue teasing.

Instead, she glanced at a Manor on the edge of the Imperial Capital, and then took the lead to shift gears.

And Elisa didn't speak either.

She urged her magic and followed up.

The two hurried on their way in silence like this, quickly reaching the location of the Imperial Library.

Lan Qingyou frequently came to this Library when she was teaching at the Imperial Magic Academy.

So compared to Elisa, who often stayed in the alchemy workshop or the Aureolus Family's fief, she was much more familiar with the route.

"Go to the top floor first."

That was a place Lan Qingyou hadn't set foot in.

Rather, even with the authority of an Academy Mentor, she couldn't enter.

Now that she could legally trespass, naturally she wouldn't be polite.

So she directly airdropped from the sky onto the roof of the Library.

Subsequently, a gravity magic caused a portion of the roof to collapse downwards.

Although this was a bit violent.

But it indeed saved time.

After all, it was the place where taboo books were stored.

It was protected by powerful Magic Arrays.

So compared to gentle Magic Bullets, a shot of gravity magic was the optimal solution.

And after collapsing the Library's roof, Lan Qingyou didn't stop.

Instead, with a wave of her large hand, she forcefully changed the gravity around the Library.

This could somewhat resist the erosion of the flesh and blood palace that was close at hand.

"These books seem to have some age to them."

Elisa, having entered the top floor of the Library, sighed as she looked at the rows of ancient books.

"There is a defensive Magic Array on the outside, and a cleaning Magic Array on the inside. The superimposed effect of the two Magic Arrays is to allow these books to be preserved for a long time."

"Of course, now that the outside is destroyed, it means this place can no longer be used as a preservation site."

Lan Qingyou looked around.

While starting to collect the books inside, she analyzed it for Elisa.

"Treating these books so roughly, is it really okay?"

Looking at Lan Qingyou acting like a bandit, with a sweep of her hand, sweeping all the books on the bookshelf into her Herb Pouch, the corner of Elisa's eye twitched.

"Would you care?"

"Of course not."

Elisa shrugged, and then joined the ranks of the 'bandits'.

Although it was a place where taboo books were collected.

But in reality, it wasn't very large.

Rather, there weren't many so-called taboo books to begin with.

So in about ten minutes, the two bandits swept the top floor clean.

"Where are you going?"

After completing the main task, Elisa asked as she looked at Lan Qingyou flying downstairs.

"Going down to continue collecting, of course."

Lan Qingyou flew downstairs without even turning her head.

"I see, this is also one of your goals, right."

Elisa finally understood.

The reason why the other party wanted to come to the Library, aside from the Fantasy Tree, the main goal was probably those books.

After all, books are knowledge.

Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, they can be used as a reference for this era.

Suppose they returned to their original time and space tomorrow.

Then these books would undoubtedly become the biggest harvest of this 'time and space travel'.

"No way, I can't let her eat all the good stuff alone."

Elisa, whose damn competitive spirit had been roused, also ran downstairs.

Elisa coming down meant she definitely figured out her motive.

But the movements of Lan Qingyou's hands didn't stop at all.

She didn't even care about the other party.

The two peacefully collected their own things just like this.

Therefore.

The two were like a tornado in the Library, plundering the wealth of this era.

Because of the sudden mutation of the Imperial Palace, the people who originally studied and worked in this Library had already left.

And because they left in a hurry, many books were placed on the desks.

But neither Lan Qingyou nor Elisa minded.

Travelogues, miscellaneous notes, social sciences, specialized books...

They wanted any book that caught their eye.

This trip took a full two hours or more.

But overall, Lan Qingyou still collected more.

If we were to be more rigorous, what Lan Qingyou collected should be several times that of Elisa's.

After all, she had golems to help with the moving.

And Elisa's chimera magic monsters obviously weren't suitable for this kind of scene.

This could be considered suffering a loss from lacking intelligence.

"Phew... Haven't exercised in a long time, still a bit tired."

Beside Elisa, Lan Qingyou used the wide sleeve of her robe to wipe the non-existent sweat from her forehead.

Being smug.

Obviously, this was being smug.

Elisa glanced at her, then curled her lips.

Subsequently, she flew towards a certain corner of the city without saying hello.

And in that direction, was the Imperial Alchemy Workshop managed by the Aureolus Family.
