All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 54: Divination Master

Good news—

The first thing I received this morning was good news.

"Tier Seven Dungeon Conquered, Legendary Adventurer’s Guild Becomes Truly Legendary! Heroes Return in Triumph!"

Oh!

Iz and the others, they actually survived!

They returned triumphant from that Tier Seven Dungeon!

’Since they made it back alive from that place, there’s no way something could have happened to them on the road, right?’

’All I have to do now is wait for them to get back.’

’And then...’

Lu Cang looked at the people passed out drunk at the table, which even included the Level 5 Adventurers.

’Counting on them to protect me... what a joke...’

Lu Cang drank a bottle of Awakening Potion.

It washed away the fatigue from staying up all night.

’It’s great to be rich. I can buy anything.’

These Awakening Potions, at 50 silver coins a bottle, were mainly used for keeping watch at night while adventuring.

No one would use them just to recover from pulling an all-nighter under normal circumstances.

As usual, he first tossed a Gold Coin to Yakadikto.

’Feels like I’m starting to follow the local customs.’

After all, his luck had been especially good these past few days—he even got a Secret Scroll drop yesterday. Lu Cang, who had been an atheist, had now adopted a ’better safe than sorry’ attitude.

’Might as well pray first and ask questions later.’

He went to find the librarian and get the Secret Scroll appraised at the same time.

A Scholar had the appraisal Skill innately.

A Level 4 Scholar was already the most powerful Scholar in Raine Town. Logically, she should have been able to hold a decent position as a Civil Servant in the Capital.

He just didn’t know why she chose to stay in Raine Town.

Lu Cang arrived at the top floor of the library, in the attic room.

"Pari."

"Come in."

A Level 4 Scholar with a photographic memory.

Anything she had seen before, she could recognize with a single glance.

The deduction of all sorts of theoretical knowledge also required a Scholar’s help. Although they had no combat power, it was a Profession with maxed-out scholarship and wisdom.

"Oh, the Magic prodigy is here."

"Speak." It was as if Pari knew Lu Cang was coming.

Pari didn’t just see anyone; she only received intelligent people.

And as a Magic prodigy, Lu Cang was naturally a guest she was willing to see.

"Pari, do you know the name Meiser?"

Hearing this name, Pari’s hand, which was turning a page, paused. "Continue."

Lu Cang continued, "Yesterday, someone suddenly came to me, wanting me to learn a Magic... He said his name was Meiser."

Pari closed her book and looked Lu Cang straight in the eye. "Did you learn it?"

Lu Cang shook his head. "No."

Pari looked behind Lu Cang. "As much as I’d like to tell you to run, it’s probably useless now."

Hearing her say that, Lu Cang broke out in a cold sweat.

He spun around instantly, but there was nothing there.

There was nothing behind him.

"And then? What else did he say?" Pari asked.

Lu Cang asked, "Pari, can’t you tell me who he is first?"

Pari answered calmly, "If I don’t say anything, I’m less likely to get myself killed."

"Just keep answering my questions."

Lu Cang hesitated, but still answered, "He also said that if I wanted to learn the Magic, I should find him."

"Since he didn’t make a move on you, it means you’re safe for now."

"Forget that you came to see me today."

As soon as Pari finished speaking, the door shut.

Lu Cang was shut out.

Although Pari hadn’t explained who Meiser was, he had at least learned one thing.

Meiser was a very dangerous person.

’It seems I was right to be cautious.’

’Wait! I haven’t gotten my Secret Scroll appraised yet!’

Lu Cang remembered he had other business with Pari—he was here to get his Secret Scroll appraised.

Lu Cang was about to knock again, but the door suddenly swung open.

Pari was already wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat.

She was also dragging a huge suitcase, and all the books that had filled her room had completely vanished.

’Did she pack them all into the suitcase?’

Somehow, Lu Cang didn’t doubt for a second that this suitcase could hold an entire library...

"Pari?" Lu Cang asked.

"I’m going to travel for a while," Pari said.

’Aren’t you in a bit of a hurry?’

’Was my question really that dangerous?’

’Everyone knows you’re a shut-in who spends all day cooped up in the attic reading. Who are you trying to fool, suddenly deciding to go traveling?’

"Oh, right. This is my resignation letter. Please give it to the town mayor for me."

"From now on, the safety of Raine Town..."

"...will be in your hands."

Huh?

Pari handed Lu Cang the resignation letter.

Then she started dragging the suitcase downstairs, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. The loud banging sounds were completely out of place in the library.

"Wait, Pari..."

"One of your Secret Scrolls is for a Death Priest, and the other is for an ancient Profession... a Decryption Scholar. The one Meiser gave you is for the Decryption Scholar."

’Death Priest?’

’Isn’t that one of the Forbidden Professions?’

"How did you know?" Lu Cang asked.

Pari answered as she walked, "My main Profession is Divination Master."

"Main Profession?"

"Sister Pari, isn’t your main Profession Scholar?"

Pari didn’t respond.

Lu Cang asked again, "Sister Pari, what Level Divination Master are you?"

"Level 10," Pari said.

’What?’

Pari glanced back coolly. "Do you believe me?"

Lu Cang: "..."

’The Level cap in the books is Level 9, you know.’

’Besides, if you were really a Level 10 Divination Master, you would have known what I was going to ask about Meiser before I even opened my mouth, wouldn’t you?’

Lu Cang smiled brightly. "I believe you."

"I was lying," Pari said.

’How annoying.’

"I may not be that High a Level, but it’s more than enough for you."

"You’ll be able to make use of the Magic Meiser gave you."

"Go to the western town entrance now. Demons have already gathered in swarms and are about to invade Raine Town."

"Don’t let your hesitation turn into regret."

Outside the library, Pari dragged her suitcase eastward.

Lu Cang glanced at the western sky.

’It’s only been ten or so minutes since I last looked.’

’How did the clouds over there get so bizarre? Dark red cloud cover, with faint red lightning flickering within.’

It looked like a very dangerous scene at a glance.

’A swarm of Demons?’

’How is Raine Town suddenly about to be invaded by a swarm of Demons? Isn’t this change happening a little too fast?’

’Sorry, Pari.’

’I’m not the kind-hearted person you think I am.’

’I’ll help where I can.’

’But if I’m not strong enough, I’m not going to go get myself killed.’

Thinking this, Lu Cang went and stood next to Pari.

"No, Sister Pari, I’m leaving with you."

Pari remained expressionless. "Oh."

"Aren’t you worried about what Iz and the others will think?"

"If Iz and the others come back to a Raine Town that’s nothing but rubble, and you were a deserter, will you have the face to see them?"

’You’re the one who said Raine Town will be nothing but rubble.’

’If those Level 5 Adventurers can’t hold it, what difference will one more fighter like me make? It’s not like I’m invincible yet.’

"Haha, Iz and the others..."

Lu Cang wanted to say they wouldn’t blame a kid.

But the words caught in his throat.

Instead, he retorted to Pari, "Then why aren’t you going to fight, since you know a Beast Tide is invading?"

"I have no combat ability. I can’t even beat a Slime," Pari said.

Lu Cang: "..."

’What a perfect excuse.’

Pari stopped walking and said faintly, "Lu Cang, there are some things that only you can do."

"I play a disposable role, whereas you are indispensable..."

Her tone was flat, but her words stirred up waves in his heart. "Think carefully about which decision you can live with."

"If you decide to go, I can teach you a few Spells."

Lu Cang was silent for a moment.

He asked, "Pari, what’s my fortune for today?"

Pari glanced at the sky.

"Peril accompanies supreme luck."

’Supreme luck, huh.’

’I hear that’s the highest level of good luck there is.’

’The nonsense a Divination Master spouts... it’s really hard to trust it completely...’

Lu Cang asked, "Sister Pari, is your Divination accurate?"

"Very," Pari said.

"And if I don’t go?"

"Minor luck brings great peril."

"Fine, I’ll go."

Although he really didn’t want to believe the Divination Master’s tricks, this was an Otherworld where even Magic existed, so he gritted his teeth and chose to believe.

Choosing between supreme luck and great peril—Lu Cang wasn’t an idiot; he knew what to do.

Lu Cang left.

Pari didn’t look back at Lu Cang’s departing figure. She just muttered under her breath, "Supreme peril accompanies supreme luck... What a strange fate."

It was indeed peril accompanying supreme luck, except... it was supreme peril.

’Little brother, it seems no one ever told you not to blindly trust a strange Divination Master, huh?’
