Gulp...
After a mouthful of warm tea, Lan Qingyou felt much more comfortable.
Two months had passed since she returned from the Underground City.
The weather outside had also turned a little chilly after being pleasant before.
Apparently, it had already started snowing around Fern Grass Village, where she had once stayed.
But that had little to do with Lan Qingyou.
After all, compared to the extreme climate a thousand years in the future, when there were only two seasons, this was nothing.
Besides, with her current constitution,
she could hardly feel this bit of cold.
Still, life needed a little ceremony.
And drinking tea was one of Lan Qingyou's favorite little rituals.
After savoring the tea's sweetness for a moment, Lan Qingyou turned her gaze back to the tabletop.
Several pieces of animal hide, along with books and notes, were spread across it.
Some of them had originally been in the study.
Some she had borrowed from the Academy Library.
And some she had found in the Underground City.
Right now, she was studying that Summoning Magic Array.
In fact, she had been studying the thing ever since she returned to the Imperial Capital two months ago.
After more than two months of work,
she had nearly finished researching it.
All that remained was figuring out how to modify it into something she could use.
After all, that thing involving gel wasn't what she was after.
She had only one goal.
No projection. She wanted the real thing.
Because only then could she obtain the other party's soul.
In her view, since that Kahamama was the deity worshipped by the Britt Mice, its soul ought to be very powerful.
In fact, even when it was merely projected into the gel,
it could still struggle against her Gravity.
That alone
