Chapter 175 Clues

Vincent had no idea what happened in the previous worlds of the two races. If he would make a guess, the Celestial Beings probably found this planet first using their technology but were spied on by the Demihumans and followed them here.

But this is quite confusing…

'Don't they just want a planet that can sustain life? Why not live in harmony? Can't they just pick a land to rule after arriving here? Wait—" Vincent suddenly recalled what Rem said about the Overseers.

'Does it mean that the war between the two races is still going on? Is that why the Overseer is taking the Celestial Beings who had regained their strength? Is it to send them to the battlefield? Or is there some other reason?'

Vincent tried to connect the information he had just gotten from Rem.

Based on what she said, the Overseer would take the Celestials to a different place never to be seen again even by their contractors. This will only happen if the Celestial Beings recovered a certain amount of strength.

Perhaps, the celestial was returned to their land and not the battlefield? They don't seem to be planning to rule this planet anyway… This is very confusing…

Vincent shook his head as he just couldn't understand what the two races are thinking. Anyway, he was lacking information…

He just continued reviewing the information about the soul and the last part truly stunned him…

'This world has deities. One specific deity known through ancient records is Asione. She rules life and death where our soul belongs. Other deities rule the seas… the land… the trees… even the mana…'

This article in the piece of information made him recall the goddess that took his eyes!

At this moment, he couldn't help but ask the Professor.

"Professor Levent… Are the Celestial Beings perhaps looking for the deities?"

He used the mind network so everyone in the class heard his question.

"That's a good point, Vincent. Do you believe in their existence?" She asked with curiosity.

"Yes. I believe that they are existing." Vincent didn't hesitate to answer. He wasn't sure who took his eyes but that is definitely not a simple existence.

First, that goddess was the one in his visualization method to increase his soul strength or aura. There was no way that she was just a random lady.

Then, she also appeared inside the altar or that Decadence Soul Tablet and took his vision.

If she's not a goddess or a deity, Vincent couldn't think of anything else who could do it… Well, it may be an evil spirit pranking him but that's unlikely given the situation. There is also that prophecy she had mentioned to him.

Professor Levent was obviously surprised by his firm answer. She hasn't seen any people who had a strong faith in the existence of deities or the gods and goddesses of this world after all.

"Then… I can only tell you that it is indeed part of the mysteries we're studying." She replied.

Vincent accepted her answer as this is only the first day of their class. He would certainly know more about the deities and other mysteries of this world as long as he continued studying here.

***

After an hour more of discussion, their class finally ended. The others went to another class and only a few did not leave the hall.

They stayed here as they continued browsing the Knowledge Base Crystal.

Of course, Vincent was also here as he tried to look for any information regarding the Overseer. Unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone or anything close to its existence.

'Does it mean that they don't know the existence of the Overseer? No, that's impossible. The Zemin Clan knows of it after all. Such a large organization like Black Tower should know more about it. Hmm… Is this an issue with authority?'

He mused.

It wouldn't be surprising if the information related to the Overseer requires a certain level of status. The Overseer might even be the blonde goddess that he had seen. Although it doesn't seem to be the case, there is a possibility.

"Vincent…"

Suddenly, he heard Professor Levent talking to him privately. She was still using her telepathy art but this time, it was only the two of them connected.

"Professor? Is there anything I can help you with?" He responded.

"Yes. I heard from Professor Turhan that you're an Appraiser. Furthermore, you will be participating in the Elite Competition two months from now. Is that true?"

Levent asked. Her gentle and kind voice was truly soothing to his ears. Vincent couldn't help but imagine her as a beautiful woman wearing a reading glass and having long black hair.

It was such a shame that he couldn't see her right now.

Anyway, Vincent replied as he confirmed that he is indeed an Appraiser and will be participating in the upcoming competition.

"Hmm… Since you're an Aura Knight, you probably have confidence in your senses to attend the competition. However, the ones you will be fighting in that competition might also be an Aura Knight like yourself. There will be young Adept Mages as well and most likely, the weakest that will attend would be a Master Magician that has trained their three elements. Do you really have a chance of winning?"

Professor Levent asked in concern.

"Yes, Professor. I heard that as long as my performance was exemplary, I have a high chance of becoming a Gray or Yellow Emblem Member. I needed the status and authority that I'll gain from that. You've probably heard that I'm not originally from this continent." Vincent patiently explained as he felt that Levent truly thinks about him as her student.

He couldn't blame her underestimating his battle skills since he's indeed blind and it would be very difficult for him to win in normal circumstances.

"I understand… I just want you to be careful since Turhan told me to—Never mind… If you need anything, just let me know."

Levent said as she cut off the telepathy without waiting for Vincent's reply.

Nevertheless, Vincent was able to somehow guess the relationship between the two professors.

'It seems that Professor Turhan isn't as stodgy as I thought.'
