Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 54: Fortune Teller

Good news!

The good news arrived first thing in the morning.

The seventh-tier dungeon has been conquered! The legendary adventure team has become a true legend! The heroes have returned in triumph!

Oh!
Izzy and the others really survived!
They've returned victorious from that seventh-tier dungeon!
Since they were able to come back alive from that place, they couldn't have gotten into trouble on the way, right?
All we need to do now is wait for them to return.

then……

Lu Cang looked at the people on the table who were drunk and passed out, including even the level 5 adventurers.

Expecting them to protect you is absurd...

Lu Cang drank a bottle of stimulant.

Relieve the fatigue of staying up all night.

Having money is great; you can buy anything.

These 50-silver-a-bottle energizing potions are mainly used for keeping watch while adventuring outside.

No one would use it to relieve the fatigue of staying up all night.

As usual, first toss a gold coin into Jacaticto's coin.

I feel like I've already adapted to the local customs.

After all, he's been incredibly lucky these past few days, and yesterday he even got a secret exam paper... Lu Cang, who was originally an atheist, has now become someone who'd rather believe it than not.

Let's pay our respects first.

Go find the librarian and, while you're at it, have the secret scrolls authenticated.

Scholars naturally possess the skill of identification.

A Level 4 Scholar is already the most powerful Scholar in Raine Town. Logically speaking, she should be able to serve as a decent civil servant in the capital.

I just don't know why she chose to stay in Raine.

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

“Parie”.

"Enter."

Level 4 scholar, with a photographic memory.

I can recognize things I've seen before with just one glance.

The derivation of various theoretical knowledge also requires the help of learned scholars. Although it lacks combat power, it is a profession that is full of knowledge and wisdom.

"Oh, the magical genius has arrived."

“Speak.” Pali seemed to have known about Lu Cang’s arrival beforehand.

Paris doesn't just host anyone; she only hosts intelligent people.

As a magical genius, Lu Cang was naturally a guest she was willing to receive.

"Pari, do you know the name Messer?"

Upon hearing this name...

Paris paused in turning the pages of her book: "Continue."

Lu Cang continued, "Yesterday, someone suddenly came to me and wanted me to learn a spell... He said his name was Messer."

Pali closed the book, looked directly at Lu Cang, and asked, "Did you study it?"

Lu Cang shook his head: "No."

Pali looked behind Lu Cang: "Although I really want to tell you to run, it's probably no use running now."

Upon hearing her words, Lu Cang broke out in a cold sweat.

He turned around instantly.

However, when he turned around, there was nothing there.

There was nothing behind it.

Paris: "And then, what else did he say?"

Lu Cang: "Pari, can't you tell me who he is first?"

Paris calmly replied, "If I don't say anything, I won't risk getting myself killed."

"Just continue answering my questions."

Lu Cang hesitated, but still answered, "He also said that if I want to learn magic, I should go to him."

"Since he hasn't attacked you, it means you're safe for now."

"Forget about the fact that you came to see me today."

As soon as Pali finished speaking, the door closed.

Lu Cang was refused entry.

Although Parly did not reveal Messer's identity, at least one piece of information can be gleaned.

Messer is a very dangerous person.

It seems that being cautious was the right thing to do.

Wait! My secret exam paper hasn't been authenticated yet!
Lu Cang remembered that he had another matter to discuss with Parly: he had come to authenticate the secret scrolls.

Lu Cang tried to knock on the door again, but the door suddenly opened.

Pali was already wearing a sun hat.

Moreover, she had already dragged a huge suitcase along, and all the books in her room had completely disappeared.

Were they all put into the box?

Lu Cang had absolutely no doubt that this box could hold an entire library...

Lu Cang: "Parie?"

Parly: "I'm going on a trip for a while."

You're in too much of a hurry, aren't you?
Was the question I asked really that dangerous?
Everyone knows you're a homebody who spends all day reading in the attic. You're kidding me, aren't you? You're not going on a trip all of a sudden.
"By the way, this is my resignation letter. Please give it to the mayor for me."

"The safety of Raine Town is now in question."

"I'll have to trouble you with your help."

what?
Pali handed Lu Cang her resignation letter.

He dragged his suitcase down the stairs with a loud clatter, the sound of which seemed out of place in the library.

“Wait, Paris…”

"One of your secret scrolls is about the Death Priest, and the other is about an ancient profession... the Decipherer. The one Messer gave you is the Decipherer."

Death Priest? Isn't that a forbidden profession?

Lu Cang: "How did you know?"

As she walked, Parly replied, "My main profession is fortune teller."

"Main profession?"

"Sister Pali, isn't your main profession a scholar?"

Paris did not respond.

Lu Cang then asked, "Sister Pali, what level of fortune teller are you?"

Pali: "Level 10."

What?
Paris turned around coldly: "Do you believe me?"

Lu Cang: "..."

The maximum level in the book is 9.

Moreover, if you were truly a level 10 fortune teller, you would have already known what I asked about Messer without even having to say a word, right?

Lu Cang smiled and said, "I believe it."

Parly: "I was just kidding."

I'm inexplicably angry.

"Although it's not that high-level, it's enough for you."

"You can use the spells that Messer gave you."

"Go to the western entrance of the town now. Monsters are already swarming there and are about to invade Rein Town."

Don't let hesitation turn into regret.

After leaving the library, Parly dragged her suitcase eastward.

Lu Cang glanced at the western sky.

It's only been a dozen minutes since I last checked.

Why do the clouds over there look so strange? The dark red clouds are flashing with faint red lightning.

It looks like a very dangerous scene.

Monster horde?
How come Raine Town is suddenly being invaded by monsters? Isn't this happening too fast?

Sorry, Paris.

I'm not as kind-hearted as you think.

I will help in any way I can.

If I'm not strong enough, I won't go and throw my life away.

Think so.

Lu Cang then followed to Parly's side.

“No, Sister Pali, I’ll go with you.”

Paris remained expressionless: "Oh."

"Shouldn't we care about what Iz and the others think?"

"If Izzy and the others return and see only ruins left in Rein, and you desert at this time, how will you face them?"

You said that Raine Town is full of ruins.

Those level 5 adventurers couldn't hold out there, so what difference would it make if I were one more combatant? I'm not invincible yet.

"Haha, Iz and the others..."

Lu Cang wanted to say that they wouldn't blame a child.

But the words stuck in my throat.

He simply countered with a question to Parry: "Then why didn't you fight when you knew there was a beast tide invading?"

Pali: "I have no fighting ability; I can't even beat a slime."

Lu Cang: "..."

What a perfect excuse!

Pali stopped and said calmly, "Lu Cang, there are some things that can only be done with your help."

"I play a dispensable role, while you are indispensable..."

Her tone was calm, but it stirred up waves in people's hearts: "Think carefully about which decision is in line with your conscience."

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

Lu Cang remained silent for a moment.

She asked, "Parie, how's my luck today?"

Pali glanced at the sky.

"The most auspicious companion is the one who brings misfortune."

Supreme good fortune.

I heard this is the highest level of Ji.

The nonsense told by fortune tellers is really hard to believe...

Lu Cang: "Sister Pali, is your divination accurate?"

Paris: "Very accurate."

"What if we don't go?"

"A small stroke of luck can bring a great misfortune."

"Okay, I'll go."

Although I really didn't want to believe the fortune teller's nonsense, it was, after all, another world where even magic existed, so I gritted my teeth and believed him anyway.

Lu Cang wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well which to choose: the most auspicious or the most inauspicious.

Lu Cang left.

Pali didn't turn around to look at Lu Cang's back, but muttered to herself, "The most ominous is accompanied by the most auspicious... a strange fate."

It is indeed a case of misfortune being accompanied by the highest good fortune, but... it is also the most ominous.

Little brother, it seems no one told you not to trust strangers who claim to be fortune tellers.
