All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 53: Meiser

Lu Cang’s tone was blunt.

He had also retreated to the center of the hotel lobby.

The hotel wasn’t exactly bustling at the moment.

But there were still quite a few people in the lobby.

If the other party wanted to make a move, they wouldn’t do it in front of everyone.

And an invisible barrier was already protecting Lu Cang’s body.

The man before him had soft, fine white hair. He smiled slightly and said, "Relax."

"If I wanted to kill you, why would I have come to see you?"

Lu Cang: "I don’t want to see you."

"Now, don’t be like that."

"I heard you’re the most talented magical genius since Iz..."

"I was very curious to meet such a genius for myself."

As he spoke, he approached Lu Cang.

Simultaneously, the version of him from the sofa also began walking toward Lu Cang.

Two completely identical men.

’Is this some kind of Magic?’

"What do you want."

Lu Cang asked flatly.

"Nothing much. I just want to teach you a few spells and see if you’re really as talented as the rumors say."

"Still, to think you’re really eight years old, just like the rumors said..."

"A Mage who awakened even earlier than I did," the man with the monocle behind him muttered in a nearly inaudible voice.

"Uncle just wants to teach you a spell," the man behind him continued to mutter, his voice as quiet as a mosquito’s buzz.

’Teach me a spell?’

In fact, Lu Cang had been looking for other Magic recently.

But it was only when he started searching himself that he discovered something.

The amount of Magic circulating in Raine Town was surprisingly small.

It turned out that most Magic required the purchase of a Magic Book, and a single Tier Two Magic Book sold for 20 gold coins. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

And the variety sold at Raine Town’s Magic Shop was even more pitiful.

He later found out after asking around that the vast majority of Magic could only be learned by studying at a Magic Academy; only a small portion was allowed to circulate on the market.

But even so, Lu Cang still managed to learn the incantations for several other Tier Two Spells from other Adventurers.

That was how he learned Magic like 「Falling Stone,」 「Water Arrow,」 and 「Flash Skill,」 though none of them could be considered particularly strong.

Without a master to teach him, learning spells was indeed not easy.

"Oh, is that so? What spell is it?" Lu Cang asked.

"It’s a very fun spell."

’Heh... he’s really trying to coax me like a child.’

’Too bad for him, I was born on Earth in 1997. I’m a 28-year-old corporate drone from Tencent.’

Lu Cang was only complaining in his head, of course, so he didn’t say it out loud.

The man, however, completely ignored whether Lu Cang intended to refuse or not.

He began to speak: "Let that which is ensnared and hidden in the void become the unchanging cornerstone of all things, bearing the foundation of all creation; for without the world of the Root Source, all is empty. Though All Transformations take shape, they remain unchanged; through the Source, attain the law and become the Source of All Laws."

’Damn...’

’What was all that gibberish?’

’He recited that whole string of words so fast, in just two seconds?’

’Who could possibly recite that? If you read it once, do you think you could memorize it?!’

"Hehe, sorry, I can’t learn that."

Lu Cang responded bluntly.

Even if he could memorize it, he didn’t want to learn this Magic.

Iz had warned him.

You can’t just learn any Magic, especially from a stranger.

If you learn certain forbidden Magic, you’re finished.

At best, it would backfire on you. At worst, it could directly attract an Alien Divine Being to possess your body.

’This weird, suspicious old guy is teaching me Magic that looks suspicious to the extreme. Only a fool would learn it.’

"You’re not going to learn it?"

"But this is Magic that can help you get rid of the Curse of being watched."

Lu Cang had just refused and was about to leave.

But the man’s words stopped him in his tracks.

"You don’t want to rely on Kumironi’s help forever to advance, do you?"

"The younger you are when you advance, the stronger your Spirituality."

"The easier it is to receive more blessings and climb to greater heights."

"But if you want to advance before you’re 16, you must get rid of the Curse of being watched."

"If Kumironi isn’t around in the future, are you just going to give up on your talent and not take a single step forward before you turn 16?"

"Spirituality is the most precious thing you have."

"Especially yours... your Spirituality is nothing like that of an eight-year-old child. It’s like that of a newborn infant, the closest state to one’s initial birth."

"If you don’t cherish the Spirituality you possess, even I will feel it’s a pity for you."

Lu Cang turned his head to look at him.

To be honest, the man had hit a sore spot.

Lu Cang absolutely did not want to have to rely on someone else’s help every time he advanced.

Even if Kumironi was a good person.

"However, if you have doubts about my Magic, you can just memorize it for now."

"How about you wait for Iz to return and then ask for his opinion?"

Lu Cang frowned, his wariness not yet gone.

’But if I ask Iz, there shouldn’t be a major problem.’

The man was a stranger, so Lu Cang was wary.

But Lu Cang couldn’t be certain that the man had come to him with malicious intent. What if he was genuinely acting out of goodwill...

...just like Iz and the others?

Lu Cang’s expression softened slightly. He said, "Thank you, but could we wait until Iz and the others return to discuss this face-to-face?"

"I’m sure Iz would also welcome a friend willing to discuss the Demon Dao. May I ask your name...?"

But the monocled man before him gave a fake smile.

"Haha, you really are cautious, kid."

"But if we were to meet, he and I would definitely end up fighting."

"I don’t want to face that monster just yet."

"What a pain..."

"Fine, I’ll tell you. My name is—Meiser."

"Meiser."

Lu Cang felt the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it.

He had seen too many names recently.

’Meiser, the man with the monocle.’

Lu Cang committed it to memory.

"If you’re unwilling to learn that spell, I have two self-created Tier Two little tricks here as well."

"You can learn them if you’re interested."

Meiser’s hand moved proactively, stuffing something into Lu Cang’s pocket.

Lu Cang bluntly pulled out what had just been stuffed in.

He examined it on the spot.

There were three slips of paper, all with Spells written in the Root Language.

One was the Spell he had just finished reciting in two seconds. The other two... he didn’t recognize.

But there was one more item.

It was a brown, parchment-like paper, with an incredibly complex pattern inscribed in the center.

’A Secret Scroll...’

’A Reincarnation Secret Scroll.’

"There you go, kid."

"See? I don’t have any ill intentions toward you, right?"

"If you’re interested in my Magic, you’re welcome to come find me again."

With that, he walked past Lu Cang.

"Wait..."

"This Secret Scroll!"

By the time Lu Cang turned around...

...the man’s figure had completely vanished...

’Welcome to find you? You didn’t even say how.’

’Who on earth is this man?’

Lu Cang looked over at the hotel’s front desk and asked the young lady there, "Miss, do you know the name Meiser?"

The young lady at the front desk looked confused.

"Meiser?"

"I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before, but... I really can’t remember."

Lu Cang: "Alright, thank you."

’She has an impression of it, but can’t remember?’

’It seems like it’s a name you might hear occasionally. Maybe I saw it in the library.’

’I’ll ask the librarian tomorrow. Maybe they’ll have an answer.’

Lu Cang glanced at the elevator.

The elevator was still on the first floor.

But in the end, after thinking for a moment, Lu Cang turned and left the hotel.

「...」

"Yo, Brother Lu Cang! What brings you back!"

"Come to have a drink with us?!"

"Come on! Let’s celebrate you taking down that King Level Demon today!"

"Let’s celebrate another milestone in our Little Lu Cang’s legend!"

Lu Cang put on a bright smile. "Yeah! Let’s celebrate!"

’Heh... it’s safer to be with this group than sleeping alone in the hotel.’

There were Level 5 Adventurers in the guild drinking as well.

Lu Cang was on good terms with them too.

Over the past ten-odd days, Lu Cang had used his status as a child to build good relationships with many of the Adventurers.

A well-spoken child who was also a humble genius—it was hard not to like him.

Lu Cang took a sobering potion in advance.

’There’s no way I’m getting drunk tonight.’

’I’d better stay on guard against that uninvited guest. I still don’t know what his intentions are toward me.’

’Giving me a Secret Scroll for no reason is also very suspicious.’

「...」
