Chapter 436: Chapter 299 Dream Divination Method

[You have carefully read, learned, and comprehended the skill “Fleurette Meditation Technique”!]

[Fleurette Meditation Technique LV1]

Skill Description: An ancient meditation method inherited from teacher Fleurette, named by Carmen. It contains the crystallization of wisdom from ancient mages of the bygone era, summarized and refined through numerous updates and iterations.

It can effectively enhance a mage’s attention, control, and willpower, making it one of the most coveted meditation techniques for mages aspiring to reach greater heights.

Skill Effect: Increases control over oneself and magic, adding 2 Points to Willpower, and significantly increases Sanity recovery speed during meditation.

...

‘An ancient meditation technique…?’

After reading the skill description, Chen Lun appeared somewhat astonished.

This was a high-level foundational skill belonging to the magic pathway, different from “Transformation Magic” and “Animal Magic Transcription”; it didn’t integrate with the skills of his own Destiny Pathway.

‘Carmen and his teacher Fleurette…what kind of beings could they be? Magic Saints, or Magic Angels?’

Chen Lun mulled over these two names for a moment, shook his head, and then put away the first volume of “Carmen’s Notes.”

The gains from this notebook were actually quite good, one piece of knowledge plus one skill.

Chen Lun had accumulated 12 Skill Points and he used 4 of them to max out this meditation technique, gaining a 10-point boost to Willpower, and felt some magical changes occurring in his brain.

He closed his eyes to feel the changes.

Chen Lun found that he could now concentrate his attention much more easily, and his control over his own body had undergone a qualitative transformation.

In short, his hands had become more stable.

Don’t underestimate such a change, for Chen Lun’s current physical condition had long surpassed that of ordinary mortals by who knows how much; his strength and Agility of over a hundred made him comparable to a humanoid monster on the move.

If his fists and feet were like firearms, then he could now achieve “precision guidance”, hitting wherever he aimed and controlling the force and speed of the “bullets” at will.

This, for Chen Lun, was tantamount to indirectly raising the ceiling of his combat skills.

Power follows strength, movement follows heart.

‘In addition, Levitation and Card Throwing Knife have also benefited greatly from this…’

With a flick of his hand, a deck of cards appeared in Chen Lun’s palm.

Rustle…!

Fifty-four cards burst forth like a spring, dancing in the cramped living room, the next second, orderly and butterfly-like, they circled around Chen Lun.

Chen Lun could clearly feel that he could control each card with precision, even using them as throwing knives, and doing so was effortless.

‘What an impressive meditation technique, it helps me far more than a few output skills.’

He smiled with some joy.

With a slight hook of his finger, the fluttering cards obediently fell back into his palm, rustling as they neatly stacked up.

‘I wonder what content is recorded in the remaining two volumes of “Carmen’s Notes”… The pathways of Magic and Nature are adjacent to my own Path of Destiny, able to supplement and assist me to go further.’

Chen Lun felt some anticipation and made up his mind to collect all volumes of “Carmen’s Notes” as soon as possible.

Moments later.

Lucy finally finished reading the Supernatural Knowledge; with her talent, without any surprises, she successfully advanced to [Hunter], emanating a mysterious aura from her being.

“Mr. Jack! I made it!”

Excited, Lucy stood up, walked to the mirror, and curiously observed her body.

“Eh… I feel like I’ve become prettier, or is it just my imagination?”

She turned her head back and asked Chen Lun for confirmation, nervously.

Chen Lun chuckled.

“It’s not your imagination. You indeed have become prettier, Lucy… and have you noticed that your body is lighter and more agile, capable of many things you couldn’t do before?”

“You mean…”

Lucy giggled sheepishly, making a gesture that only adults would understand.

“Those difficult positions?”

“…”

Chen Lun just felt his head starting to hurt again.

He massaged his temples and said weakly:

“I’m talking about Supernatural Power.”

“Oh… of course!”

Lucy then realized what he meant and her face turned slightly red with embarrassment.

“After the promotion, I feel like I understand a lot more about setting traps and some techniques in Archery… My body is indeed lighter and more agile. If I ever run into those nasty human traffickers again, I could take them all down!”

“Of course, I believe you can do it.”

Chen Lun watched the lively Lucy, nodding and smiling.

Then, he stood up to take his leave.

“Alright, Lucy, I have to go.”

“You’re leaving so soon?”

Seeing this, Lucy hurried up to him, grabbing Chen Lun’s arm.

“Mr. Jack, why don’t you stay a bit longer? I’ll cook us a meal, and then you can leave after we eat.”

“After the meal, you want me to stay the night too?”

Chen Lun said jokingly.

Lucy blushed and nodded like a pecking chick.

But soon after, she shook her head with poor acting skills.

“No… How could that be…”

Chen Lun smiled and said nothing.

He didn’t really stay, but before he left, he asked Lucy to continue to keep an eye on Francis, and to contact him using the token if she discovered anything special.

Lucy agreed repeatedly and finally leaned against the doorway, watching Mr. Jack leave with reluctance.

The next two days were calm and uneventful.

However, that afternoon, Chen Lun received a letter from Lucy.

She had successfully entered the lakeside cabin using the method Chen Lun had taught her and placed a letter on the statue of Jack.

Once Chen Lun sensed it, he immediately retrieved the letter and examined it.

In the letter, Lucy stated that Francis was not angry about her “accidentally losing” Carmen’s Notes, just that he felt it was a pity.

Afterwards, he invited her to join him in searching the library to see if they could find other similar mystic books but to no avail.

However, through this process, Lucy learned additional information.

Carmen’s Notes weren’t originally part of Omutuo Academy’s library collection but were recently donated by a prominent businessman from Peacock City to the academy, and it was one of the books in that batch.

And the name of this businessman was “Domme Simon.”

It is said that he is an alumnus of Omutuo Academy and has been donating various resources to his alma mater over the years, including furniture, facilities, and antique books.

‘The Simon family… The father of Hoyle, the owner of the City Garden Grand Theatre?’

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

He took out the first volume of Carmen’s Notes, intending to perform a divination to find the whereabouts of the remaining two volumes. To get a more accurate answer, he chose to use the “Dream Divination” he had not tried since his promotion to Sequence Six.

This was a new form of divination after the enhancement of his divination skills.

Chen Lun lay down on the sofa in the villa living room, closed his eyes, slowed his breathing, and soon silently performed the “Fleurette Meditation,” his mind quieting down, and his soul, like someone falling into the sea, sinking slowly.

In just two breaths, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

For some reason, Transcendents usually stop dreaming once they advance to Mid Sequence… If they do dream, it usually signifies the occurrence of something.

This was an effect of the supernatural resistance that comes with a transcendent’s transformation, often possessing some basic precognitive abilities. This was a commonality among all Mid Sequence Transcendents and also one reason why they are difficult to be killed by mortals and Low Sequence Transcendents.

Under the influence of the “Fleurette Meditation,” Chen Lun remained extremely conscious within the dream.

He found himself on a street.

It was deserted, with no person in sight.

Beyond the street, everything was blurry, creating a distorted and bizarre appearance. At the end of the street was a tall museum that seemed to be the main subject of the dream. At the entrance, there were two square, giant gray stone pillars.

The museum was the only brightly lit building on the street, but its great doors were shut tight, with indistinct whispers occasionally emanating from within. Atop the museum, a giant stone gargoyle statue perched there, clutching a long battle axe, looking predatory.

As Chen Lun approached, the stone gargoyle came “to life,” swinging its long-handled battle axe and flapping its large wings, diving straight down at him.

Chen Lun looked up calmly at the diving stone gargoyle, a glint of enlightenment in his eye, and then he muttered to himself:

“The remaining two volumes of Carmen’s Notes are related to this museum… ‘Gargoyle’ belongs to the Earth Faction Sequence Six, perhaps suggesting the History and Ritual Association has also set their sights here?”

The gargoyle’s long-handled battle axe descended from the sky and struck Chen Lun’s head squarely.

But Chen Lun didn’t even glance at it and merely said:

“Awake.”

Boom!

The moment the battle axe touched Chen Lun, it turned into smoke, and the gargoyle as well, with its twisted and fierce face, dissipated along with it.

The streets, houses, and the museum, everything in the dream turned to smoke and dispersed.

Chen Lun also awakened from the dream.

He sat up, glanced at the wall clock, and saw that only half an hour had passed.

‘Indeed, sleeping is like traveling through time and space… No wonder people in my previous life always complained about being late for work.’

Chen Lun silently commented to himself.

Through this dream divination, he had a rough idea of what his next steps should be.

Chen Lun called Golov, Barton, and Morey to investigate the museums of Peacock City, looking for one that has two square stone pillars at the entrance or a gargoyle statue on top.

The investigation was not difficult.

That very night, Golov and the others returned with the information.

“Leader, there’s only one museum that fits your description, and that’s the Simon Museum,” Golov reported.

Chen Lun thus confirmed his internal speculation.

‘Carmen’s Notes are indeed part of the Simon family’s collection…’

He planned to take advantage of the night to scout the museum and, if possible, to simply take the item and leave.
