Chapter 365 Omen
Chapter 365 Omen
Ayla and Turhan continued analyzing the scrolls and discovered a few more pieces of information about the Magic God…
Although the name or the title of the deity wasn't mentioned at all, they were able to tell that it was the Magic God who has been causing trouble to the deities since it uses the same method of eliminating their target. It is through the use of an Avatar and something that only a being at his level was capable of.
However, there is something unusual about this Magic God. After reading through the scrolls, they realized that he was always depicted as a blind man because he was blindfolded by a black iron around his head.
The master and disciple were quite confused by this since there was no way that a deity who seem to be omnipotent is actually blind.
Unfortunately, they can't find any more information within the scrolls so they can only try to look for another way of getting information about the magic god.
Now that the Black Magic Organization is spreading all over the Black Tower's territory, they have to know who are they dealing with and the possible weakness of this organization.
"Master, I remember that Vincent mentioned how he was saved by another deity when he was trapped within another realm created by the magic god." Ayla suddenly said while Turhan was packing the ancient scrolls.
"Yes… What about it?"
"Then, should we just find another way to contact a different deity to help us? If the scrolls we've read are true, it means that it wasn't only one deity that wanted to eliminate the magic god but all of them."
"That would certainly make sense… However, it's not easy to find or communicate with another deity. I'm sure a lot of people wanted to do that for a long time but none of them succeeded."
"But then… How did Vincent get connected to goddess Vera?"
Turhan paused for a moment as he found this difficult to answer.
"I guess we'll only find out once we asked him…"
"Should we go to his city now? I also wanted to inform him about my recent breakthrough…" Ayla said with excitement as it has been quite a while since she met Vincent.
"Hmm… That's a good idea… However, we should stay here for a while as I need to help the union settle a few things in exchange for letting us stay here."
"Ahhh… What kind of help?" Ayla asked curiously since the Alchemist Union also has several Grand Magus at their disposal.
Turhan wasn't even the strongest of them all since he was only a Tri-Caster. He's also not qualified to be called an Archon at this point.
"I was told that a few messengers of the Black Magic Organization will visit the union soon and they probably want to recruit the alchemists here to work for them..." Turhan said as he already predicted this to happen.
Within this land, aside from the members of the Black Tower, there are only four groups that could pose some threat to the Black Magic Organization.
They are the Alchemist Union, the Hunter Organization, the Nexus Group, and the Builders Guild.
The Alchemist Union has a deep background and its members are all influential considering the field they were in. Messing with the union is like cutting off your own supplies of rare potions and ingredients. No mana practitioners would want that.
The Hunter Organization has mixed members and they were difficult to deal with since they are more similar to a brotherhood than a professional business. These people could be magicians, magic knights, or aura knights and they have numerous bases inside our outside the Tower's city.
The Nexus Group and the Builders Guild, on the other hand, were known for their impressive projects like Aircraft, Warships, and other vessels being used within the Black Tower.
Of course, if they were really to be compared with each other, everyone would say that it's the Builders Guild with the best creations in this field since they are only focused on creating things, unlike Nexus Group which has spread its influence in all kinds of business like auction houses, entertainment houses, taverns, and many more.
In any case, if the Black Magic Organization wanted to take control of this land, they would have to get their hands on these four groups.
Turhan sighed as he recalled what the head of the union told him.
Apparently, the magicians who will come to visit the Alchemist Union were people that he knows from the Black Tower. They were his fellow Red Emblem members that had decided to join the Black Magic Organization.
Turhan explained this to Ayla but he also promised that once the meeting with the Black Magic Organization was over, they would move to Vera City.
After making this plan, the two decided to prepare themselves and Turhan even mentioned this to the Union Head to inform them beforehand.
However, they didn't expect that another person within the Union has the same thoughts…
The old Union Head looked at Turhan with surprise after hearing his plan. He was having his afternoon tea in his garden when Turhan came to visit him and informed him of his decision to visit Vincent's Vera City.
"Faviona, one of the best Alchemists in our union is also planning to visit the Seventh Disciple's city. What a coincidence… Is there something going on that I'm not aware of?"
"Ahh… She's also planning to go there? I'm not aware of that, Union Head. My disciple and I were only thinking of visiting Vincent to ask him a few things about the deity he was involved with…"
"Really? Faviona mentioned the same thing… It seems that this young man was truly blessed by a deity, huh…" The old man muttered as he showed a hint of worry on his face.
"Is there a problem with that Union Head?" Turhan asked curiously.
The old man in front of him isn't just an Alchemist after all. He is also one of the Tier 5 Grand Alchemists of the Black Tower. This man wasn't even worried about the visiting Black Magic Organization in a few days.
"I'm not sure myself… I only know that being a Blessed One wouldn't normally end well for someone if they are unprepared. I just hope that this person can withstand the trials he would soon face."
