Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 364 Deities

Ayla looked at the soldiers leaving the headquarters of the Alchemist Union.

She and her master had taken shelter in this place since they weren't really sure who are the enemies at this time. Turhan can only guarantee that the Alchemist Union which is currently led by an old man who grew up in an orphanage will not be any part of the internal strife that is going on.

Tap… Tap… Tap…

Ayla then heard footsteps going to her room and realized that her Master has finally returned. She immediately stood up and opened the door for her master.

Clack…

As she opened the door, she noticed that her Master Turhan is carrying several scrolls placed in a small wooden crate…

"Master, I didn't know you were interested in ancient scrolls..." Ayla said in surprise as she knows that her Master wouldn't normally browse scrolls like these which are still filled with dust and obviously weren't made of valuable material.

The parchment's quality is obviously quite low and she even felt worried that unrolling these scrolls would break them apart after being unused for so many years.

"Ayla, your Master needs a bit of help… As you can see, they were already quite brittle so I need you to do something about it so I can read all of them."

"Is this an important scroll, Master? Can you tell me what's inside this?" Ayla curiously asked as she picked up one of the scrolls and appraised it with her appraisal tool.

"It contains information about the deities and other powerful beings aside from the Celestial Being and Celestial Beast… They're very important…"

"Is it related to what's happening right now?"

"That's correct. We don't know who should we trust at the moment. Who knows, this new organization might even be the righteous one and we should join them and worship the Magic God…"

"Ugh… That's not a good joke, Master Turhan… I don't think I can do that to a suspicious being that has only appeared now."

"That's why we need to know more about them… In any case, you also know what happened to Vincent when he went to the 15th Tower."

"Of course! He risked his life to investigate that suspicious tower and informed us about the existence of the Magic God…"

Ayla finally sighed after realizing the situation. If the scrolls truly have information about the Magic God, it wouldn't just help them but they can also give this information to Vincent who has been looking for this information for a long time.

She became very curious about its content so she immediately agreed to help. In any case, she's already familiar with this task since she had been increasing the durability of numerous items in the past few months.

She also had to thank Vincent for this since she would not think of researching this path without his guidance.

Clink~

It didn't take long before she managed to increase the durability of the ancient scrolls that Turhan has found.

This time, she no longer needed to use Fine Burr or some expensive ingredient to increase its durability. She has already created a Formation Core capable of helping any small objects permanently increase their durability!

"That was faster than I expected." Turhan said with a smile after seeing how his disciple easily accomplished a task that even he can't do.

"I've been doing this for a while now, Master. That's to be expected." Ayla replied proudly as she handed over the scrolls to Turhan.

There are a lot of wondrous things that their Mana can do. It's not only meant for hurting people or self-cultivation. It can also be used to create things that needed to be fully explored.

Currently, Ayla isn't just focused on Enhancing Items but she's also trying to find other things that their Mana could possibly do.

Turhan looked at Ayla with a satisfied smile on his face as he checked the scrolls one by one to find some information.

Ayla then confirmed that the scrolls don't contain too sensitive information so she decided to join him and read the scrolls after getting Turhan's permission.

Soon, the Master and Disciple finished reading the dozen of scrolls within the wooden crate.

"Master… I thought you were finding information about the Magic God being worshipped by the Black Magic Organization. However, all the contents of these scrolls seem to be related to the Celestial Beings and the Overseer." Ayla commented as she put down the last scroll from the crate.

The scrolls indeed contain information about the powerful beings of this world but they are largely related to the single-digit Celestial Beings and only a few passages describe the deities they've fought against with. The names of the deities weren't even revealed and only mentioned their abilities and a bit of their appearance.

"That's right, Ayla… Don't you think it's weird that it seems to be written from the Celestials' perspective?" Turhan asked as he continued reading the scrolls even though he already finished reading them.

"T-that's true… But it's not like a Celestial had truly written this, right?" Ayla muttered but she realized that it is indeed weird how it was written from the perspective of a Celestial and how it was so detailed.

The content of the scrolls is basically about the Celestial Race fighting against the guardians of the new land they've found. It was mentioned how the Numbered Celestials were so strong but still incapable of winning against the creative fighting method of the deities using their Mana.

If seen from another perspective, this can be some form of encouragement for Magicians about the limits of Mana. As long as they know how to properly control it and be creative with how they use it, even Celestials would have a hard time winning against them.

'Ahhh…' Ayla then recalled something and she immediately browsed the scrolls again and found some suspicious details…

"The guardians, or perhaps deities of this land, weren't only fighting against us… They are fighting among themselves for a reason we don't know… but it's an opportunity we shouldn't miss… We must strike while they're disorganized and weakened."

Ayla read this part and also read a few more things related to the internal strife of the deities…

In the end, Turhan and Ayla muttered the same thing…

"The Magic God…"

Both of them looked at each other as they realized that the Magic God is possibly the one that had created internal strife among the deities.
