All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents-Chapter 40: Coincidence and a Wish

But Iz hadn’t told Lu Cang that he absolutely had to create his own type of magic or training method.

He just wanted Lu Cang to think.

Lu Cang murmured, "The core principle of the Mage Profession is the exploration of the Root Source."

「Void Realm (Level: 152)」

His Tier Two Magic Enhancement Technique had already reached Level 152.

Void Realm couldn’t benefit from the triple Skill Proficiency bonus of Multiple Casting, nor could it be leveled up by methods like killing monsters.

However, he could practice it anytime.

It was just that the Skill Proficiency required to level up Void Realm seemed to be much higher than for ordinary magic.

Which was why it was still only at Level 152.

Lu Cang estimated that the Magic Power in his body was already around 2.3 million...

In truth, after reaching two million, Lu Cang had felt like he was hitting his limit, yet Void Realm continued to push his Mana even higher.

’It’s useless to have so much Magic Power.’

Even if he poured Magic Power into the spells he knew to increase their Power, unleashing all of them at once wouldn’t even consume ten thousand points.

And he could recover that much consumed Magic Power in a single breath.

Mana was supposed to be a Mage’s greatest concern, but for Lu Cang, it was something he didn’t need to worry about at all.

He finished his stretches.

Before bed, Lu Cang took out the Common Sense Book he had borrowed from the library.

He slowly perused the knowledge he might need for the next day.

As he read, drowsiness gradually washed over him.

...

He slept dreamlessly.

Early the next morning, as was his routine, Lu Cang bought a copy of the World Shocking News from a street vendor selling information.

However, the moment he saw today’s news, Lu Cang’s pupils contracted.

World-shocking: In the Tier Seven Dungeon Expedition, Entire Adventuring Parties Have Been Wiped Out! Is the Doomsday of the Ruelun Continent Approaching?!

’Wiped out?’

’What is it talking about?’

’Iz and his team are so strong, how is that possible!’

Lu Cang hurriedly read the rest of the text.

However, after quickly reading the entire article, Lu Cang couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

’Dammit.’

’Damn clickbait artists.’

[The World Dragon, Gray God, Blood of Evil, and New Day adventuring parties... and others have been confirmed to be completely wiped out.]

[However, a few of the most elite and powerful adventuring parties are still continuing to explore deeper inside the Dungeon...]

The adventuring parties mentioned as being wiped out didn’t include Iz’s group.

Iz’s adventuring party was called... Legend.

It was a simple, unpretentious name, but it truly fit their status.

Iz had said the name had actually been registered for a long time, and many people wanted to claim it...

But on the very day he went to register his adventuring party, a lone adventurer happened to be standing next to him, there to dissolve his own party.

And their party’s name was Legend.

Iz hadn’t originally planned on registering that name, but when he overheard them relinquishing it, he discussed it with Chi Cheng.

And so, they settled on their adventuring party’s current name.

"At least... they’re safe for now."

The danger of the Tier Seven Dungeon was beyond Lu Cang’s imagination.

’To think that so many teams were wiped out on the very first day of the expedition...’

’I heard that all the parties participating in this operation were the best of the best on the continent.’

’Yet they died so easily on the first day.’

Lu Cang clenched his fists.

’Iz, you’d better be stronger than them.’

Lu Cang let out a long breath. ’There’s no use getting anxious here.’

’I need to understand the world and increase my own strength.’

’That’s all I can do.’

With that thought, Lu Cang decided to head into the Adventurer’s Guild and start his day’s activities.

But as he turned, he saw a blank Divine Statue.

Raine Town has no church, nor does it have a dedicated Divine Altar.

If the faithful wish to pray, they can only go to the Blank Altar.

That’s what Kumironi had said.

CLIP-CLOP—

CLIP-CLOP-CLIP-CLOP-CLIP-CLOP—

Suddenly, a reckless, speeding freight carriage galloped past from behind Lu Cang.

CRASH!

However, a heavy thud echoed from the path it had just taken.

A heavy piece of cargo had fallen to the ground.

An altar, bearing a specific image, had landed squarely in the middle of the road.

Some gods have physical forms.

Some are formless.

Yakadikto was one of the gods with a physical form...

They had a specific appearance and particular decorations, all recorded in books as if mortals had seen Them with their own eyes.

The Divine Statue before him.

The dangling four-leaf clover earring, the strange currency held in its hand, and the various details of its attire all matched the descriptions of Yakadikto in the books.

Upon seeing this Divine Statue, the people on the street fell silent. Then, as if driven mad, they rushed toward the altar, foolishly tossing their Silver and Copper Coins as if they were worthless...

Lu Cang glanced at the departing carriage. ’Looks like it dropped its cargo...’

’Hey... how could they not notice something that big falling off?’

Although there were no specific Divine Altars in public areas, that didn’t stop residents from ordering altars to place in their own homes.

Watching the townspeople scramble over each other to worship Yakadikto, Lu Cang couldn’t help but marvel. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

’Are these people always so fanatical about worshipping gods?’

Lu Cang watched them quietly for a moment, like an onlooker watching elderly people scramble for free eggs...

And then.

He slowly walked into the crowd himself...

He tossed in a Gold Coin.

He crossed his arms over his chest in a posture of prayer.

’Yakadikto, if you can truly hear my wish, please watch over Izparut and his party and let them return safely.’

After tossing in the Gold Coin, Lu Cang didn’t bother to see whether it was snatched up by someone or truly collected by some unknown power. He simply turned and walked toward the Guild.

’Will praying to a god do any good?’

Lu Cang didn’t know.

He just... simply wanted to pray for the safety of Iz and his team.

"Ah~"

"Little Lu Cang, come here, quick!"

The moment he stepped through the door, Celia called out to him.

Slightly curious, Lu Cang walked over.

"Oh dear, we suddenly got a flood of new quests yesterday. We’re running short on adventurers here."

Lu Cang glanced at the quest board.

’It really is packed.’

It was completely covered.

Celia put her hands together, pleading with Lu Cang. "Little Lu Cang, we don’t have that many High-Level adventurers in Raine Town. With Iz and his party gone, we probably won’t be able to clear out all these Demons on our own for a while."

"If we just let them be..."

Lu Cang nodded. "Mm, I understand."

’Oh~ so she wants my help clearing out the Demons.’

’But... before, Iz and his party were here. Now, it’s me...’

’But what happens when I leave, too?’

’What will they do then?’

Lu Cang was curious.

’They can’t always rely on powerful adventurers just passing through to clear their quests, can they?’

"Okay, let me take a look."

"But Celia, if there weren’t any powerful adventurers around, how would you normally handle a situation like this?"

’There really are a lot of quests.’

The number of quests to subjugate wild Demons had shot up. There were quite a few for Tier Two Lords, and the Tier Three quests were piling up even more.

Raine Town had a limited number of Level 3 adventurers.

A Level 3 Professional didn’t need to go adventuring outside, exploring Dungeons, or killing wild Demon Lords.

Even in the Kingdom Capital, they could find a decent job, earn a good income, and live a comfortable life.

Of course... it also meant that they could earn even more money as adventurers.

Celia sighed. "If we don’t have enough adventurers to help, our only option is to request aid from the Kingdom. They’ll dispatch an extermination squad to help us clear out the surrounding threats."

That answer was reasonable enough.

Raine Town belonged to the Lorren Kingdom, which was apparently a very powerful kingdom on this continent.

To be precise, Raine Town was part of the domain of a Lord named Rayander. His domain also included a dozen or so similar towns and two mid-sized city-states.

’So even without requesting aid from the Kingdom, the Lord of the domain would probably help Raine Town resolve the threat.’

Celia continued, "However, starting last night, quite a few adventurers have been starting to rush over here..."

Lu Cang tilted his head in confusion. "Rushing over?"

"Mm... I saw the Kingdom’s meteorological forecast. It said a Demon tide is moving in this direction."

"So, to get the hefty rewards, adventurers are following the Demon tide’s path over here."

"They’ll probably choose to use Raine Town as their base of operations."
