Chapter 968: Try the Omnipotent Mana Alchemy School's Theory

Lan Qingyou, roughly understanding Mera's meaning, patted the golem's shoulder and let it board the wyvern.

Only then did she turn around and face Mera.

"If a seal can be achieved, that would naturally be the best."

"But if it can't be done, we must at least restrict its range of activity."

It had been several hours since the incident occurred.

The Imperial Capital side was basically about to be entirely assimilated into a flesh and blood city by the old Emperor.

Using 'terrifying' to describe this speed wouldn't be an exaggeration.

So Mera's worry wasn't without reason.

"From the technical aspect of a Magic Array, there's no problem, but the reality is there simply aren't enough materials to make such a large Magic Array."

As for sealing Magic Arrays, Lan Qingyou of course had it in the bag.

But the Imperial Capital was truly too large.

Wanting to make such a huge Magic Array was simply impossible.

You must know the Magic Array in her own fief still cost a countless amount.

It could only be done with the old Emperor and the Aureolus Family, plus the support of Albert's connections.

"Of course."

"The most crucial thing is that the flesh and blood palace isn't stationary."

"It's constantly expanding, spreading."

"Under this situation, wanting to complete the entire Magic Array at once, we can only draw a Magic Array larger than its current position."

"Just this, we'd have to work overtime to finish it."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up to the other party's speed of expansion."

Lan Qingyou reported some of the difficulties she thought of to Mera.

Mera frowned.

If it was ordinary times.

Then materials and such wouldn't be a difficult matter.

Just one word from the old Emperor, and any material could be mobilized over.

But now the old Emperor was 'gone', and the entire Imperial Capital was done for.

Wanting to efficiently mobilize materials like before was fundamentally an impossible matter.

Let's not talk about transportation matters.

Just losing the old Emperor's prestige was enough to make those nobles feign compliance while acting in opposition.

Not to mention that those noble families had also lost quite a few Patriarchs now.

At this time, let alone asking them to contribute money and effort.

Just keeping them from breaking away from the Empire and establishing independence was already pretty good.

On the other hand, it was also because there was simply no one to give orders.

Although it seemed Mera was giving orders in the camp now.

But this was also because of her prestige and Holger and Haku being willing to yield power.

Once outside the Imperial Capital area, this prestige would only grow weaker the further the distance.

Fundamentally useless.

"This is indeed a difficult problem..."

Mera rubbed the bridge of her nose.

Without materials, even the most powerful array master wouldn't be able to make a complete Magic Array.

Not to mention Alchemists.

"At this time, why don't you try the omnipotent Mana Alchemy School's theory?"

Just when Mera was at her wit's end.

Nicolas walked out from an unknown place.

"..."

Lan Qingyou was directly speechless.

Good guy.

I only stated the current problem.

And as a result, Nicolas directly came to pull people in.

And even saying this kind of thing clearly knowing she was from the Materialism School.

It's a good thing I have a 'good temper'.

If it was another person from the Materialism School, for example, Albert, they would absolutely go up and punch him.

But then again...

Now was indeed also a good way to solve the problem.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Nicolas' current smug expression, one would know the other party was very confident in his proposal.

After all, this truly didn't require materials.

Wouldn't that mean she could only rely on her own mana to construct the Magic Array?

"This is indeed a solution when there's no other solution, Lord Lan Qingyou, I wonder if you can do it on your end?"

After considering slightly for a bit, Mera looked at Lan Qingyou.

Let's not talk about anything else.

In terms of mana, among all the people she had seen, Lan Qingyou and Elisa could be considered top-tier.

Of course, this was based on the premise that both of them had evolved.

But it had to be said, with that level of quantity and purity, wanting to construct this kind of Magic Array without materials shouldn't be a difficult matter.

"Lord Lan Qingyou, what do you think?"

Nicolas also added a question.

"..."

Lan Qingyou scratched her head.

A solution when there's no other solution refers to precisely this time.

"The key is I'm not familiar with the Mana Alchemy School's theory."

That's right.

Compared to the Materialism School, the Mana Alchemy School's theory is much deeper.

After all, the Mana Alchemy School focuses on going from nothing to something.

While the Materialism School goes from one to two.

So even if Lan Qingyou knew about this school and knew a bit of the theory.

Wanting to make such a huge Magic Array required deep study.

So...

"This is actually no problem, I can teaching you."

Seeing Lan Qingyou's tone loosen, Nicolas immediately followed up.

After all, being able to pry one more person from the Material faction to the Mana faction would naturally make the Mana faction grow stronger.

Especially someone like Lan Qingyou, who was considered top-tier in magic, Alchemy, and Magic Arrays.

And was also one of only two people among known individuals who had evolved into a high-level human form.

And the other one was also from the Mana Alchemy School.

If he could really pull her over, it would definitely bring huge assistance to the Mana Alchemy School.

"Time is tight now, if there's going to be teaching, then let's teach while doing."

It could be seen that the expansion of the flesh and blood palace was a very urgent matter.

So Mera didn't even wait for Lan Qingyou's agreement and directly arranged it.

Lan Qingyou, who was originally intending to learn, naturally acquiesced.

After all, one can never have too many skills.

Not to mention being taught by a big shot professor of the Mana Alchemy School like Nicolas.

Regarding this, Lan Qingyou certainly didn't have any dissatisfaction.

Therefore, the two of them, who acted on their words, immediately headed towards the direction of the Imperial Capital.

After all, this kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later.

The sooner the Imperial Capital was sealed, the faster the assimilation of the flesh and blood palace could be stopped.

Regarding this, both Mera and Nicolas took it very seriously.

While Lan Qingyou took it seriously because she could learn new knowledge.

In a sense, this could be considered uniting as one.

"Huh? Mentor, where is Lord Lan Qingyou, I thought I saw her come back just now."

When Albert finished his matters and returned but didn't see Lan Qingyou, he asked Mera.

"Went to seal the Imperial Capital."

Mera, who was handling documents, didn't raise her head.

She just replied faintly and continued handling official business.

However, although she called it official business, it was more like a mess.

So there was no time to care about other matters.

For example, the factional struggle between the Materialism School and the Mana Alchemy School.

So when she answered, she spoke very vaguely.

She only mentioned the matter of going to seal the Imperial Capital.

She didn't even dare mention that Nicolas had also followed along.

After all, if this was spoken, with Albert's intelligence, he could absolutely guess the reason.

After all, speaking of sealing generally meant a Magic Array.

And speaking of Magic Arrays, one couldn't avoid materials.

But in a situation without materials, wouldn't they only be able to use mana...
