Chapter 284: Fate palace and the First emperor
"So the lynch landlords are just sent here because they were punished, huh…" Aur had a thoughtful expression.
"What about you, then?" He looked at the beauty in front of him.
"Well, we came here to get some training from the main sect. Our succubus sect is despised by many individuals in the Roshar kingdom, so we are relatively secluded and blend with the background. Usually, we are sent to these small places like here for training," Eleanor replied with a shrug.
"Do you know about luck, fate and destiny?" Aur looked at her meaningfully with squinted eyes.
These words, if he had said them in his previous life, would have made him seem like a madman because these things were out of reach for mortals like them.
Even if he was the strongest fighter, he could still be injured by some high-calibre bullets.
However, this was a fantasy world where there's definitely destiny and luck. In this world, Aur had already experienced it himself.
"I don't know much about luck. It is an elusive force that many have tried to control using spells, but I don't know if any have made spells that could control luck. If they have, it must be a terrifying existence," she said with some lingering fear.
"But I do know something that could control fate and destiny."
"Hmm," a thoughtful expression appeared on Aur's face. "Tell me about it?"
"Fate Palace."
"Fate Palace?" Aur tapped on the table, feeling a strange resonance in his soul just from hearing these names.
"Fate Palace can control all the destiny and fate of the world and predetermine all things in the world."
"So where is this Fate Palace then?" Aur asked calmly.
She shook her head. "The Fate Palace is no more."
"What do you mean?" Aur paused, looking at her more seriously.
"The Fate Palace has already been destroyed by the first emperor of the Divine Human kingdom as he united all the races together."
"Previously, there were many races other than humans who ruled the world. But when the humans rose to power, the first emperor became the first tier nine wizard and destroyed the Fate Palace completely, allowing the humans to dominate this world. All other races were suppressed and made slaves to humans," Eleanor spoke with unspeakable pride in her tone.
What the first emperor of the Divine Human kingdom had done was already engraved in their hearts since young, and it had made them truly admire him.
Aur seemed silent for some time.
"What happened after that?"
"I don't know. Even though the Fate Palace was destroyed and the wizards all felt like they could be immortal, the first emperor seemed to have vanished," Eleanor spoke with some pity and sadness in her tone.
"I see," Aur nodded his head as he stood up from his seat and turned around to leave.
"Hey, you're leaving just like that?" Eleanor gritted her teeth.
Aur raised his brows. "Yeah."
"You bastard…"
Under Eleanor's curses, Aur quietly left the place.
"Damn it, he really left just like that," she muttered with frustration.
Eleanor didn't dare to use any spell in front of this bastard. From spending some time with him, she feared that if she used any spell against him, her fate might end up like the one who had been turned into a blood mist and killed with no mercy.
She rubbed the cold sweat that had appeared on her forehead at some point.
"He seems to have become stronger…" there was greed in her eyes. "If you can be my stepping stone, then I might even become stronger and powerful enough to become the sect leader."
Eleanor couldn't control her greed. She had a very deep understanding of the human body, with knowledge of blood and Qi, and she sensed an astonishing amount from him.
The amount was so terrifying that it made her shiver.
Although she couldn't discern which level Aur had reached, it should be at least higher than an early tier one wizard, just judging from his body alone.
…
Aur went into an inn and settled down for the night. He frequently changed his location to make himself untrackable.
Surprisingly, the village didn't chase after him as vigorously as they had the capacity to. There were only wizard apprentices looking for him, but how could they even catch him, even if he stood right in front of them?
"How interesting, are they protecting me?"
The village protected Aur naturally, not because they suddenly felt a kinship or anything. It was simply because if he was caught, the entire village would be implicated. At that time, Noah and the other elders could naturally not shirk responsibility at all.
Aur calmly woke up after two hours of sleep, feeling refreshed. He didn't need much sleep nowadays, especially since his life level had increased, but it was better for his soul and allowed for gradual recovery.
Sleep was still an important part of his routine, even though he didn't necessarily need it.
He stood up and dusted himself off before leaving the room.
"How was the sleep, master?" a small boy with a warm smile on his face asked immediately upon seeing Aur.
Although his clothes were dishevelled and sloppy, Aur looked like an ordinary person; however, it still couldn't hide his muscular body and the sense of intimidation they felt from his sheer physique.
Naturally, even if the person in front of him was a commoner, he should still be a strong man who had practised some martial arts.
Aur just calmly nodded and left the place, leaving a low-grade mana crystal behind.
Seeing the crystal, the boy's eyes lit up. He hurriedly hid away the low-grade mana crystal.
This was comparable to his monthly wage now, and it was enough for him to fill his stomach.
"It's time to reach the intermediate level in five elemental magic," Aur squinted his gaze.
As long as he could reach that level, then his means would increase, and at the same time, his combat power would enhance rapidly as well.
