Otherwise, the news of Liz alone could fetch him a handsome reward from Viscount Kuka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as a Bronze Mage, Cress was well aware of the considerable terror she felt from the pale blue flame that had appeared in Lis’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicated that Lis’s strength far surpassed hers, and he could easily defeat her and take Liz away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had no choice but to politely open the door and let Lis in, though Cress was also preparing herself mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lis truly intended to harm Liz, she was ready to fight with her life to not let Lis get away with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked with interest at the two youthful girls, each with their own characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liz carried with her an air of freshness, like a pure girl yet to be tainted by the filth of this world, as pristine as a pure white flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress, on the other hand, was like a quietly blooming night-blooming cereus, seemingly years of study had imparted her with a profound academic aura, refreshing to the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lis could see a strong wariness in Cress’s eyes at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was able to find this place also by relying on the memory from his previous life’s gaming experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instance called “Cresce’s Revenge,” when players first entered, they found themselves in Cresce’s house, proceeding towards Viscount Kuka’s Castle under Cress’s lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back then, Cresce’s house was not as clean and tidy as it was now; it was filled with dust and spiderwebs, having been abandoned for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the instance’s CG “Cress’s Memories,” players learned that Liz started her flight from marriage by staying at Cresce’s place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Lis followed his memories straight to Cress’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what exactly do you want to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to bear the strange atmosphere, Cress spoke up to break the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I say it? I’m here to help you,” Lis spread his hands and said with an easygoing expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So how do you intend to help us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress didn’t trust Lis and pressed on with the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just too preposterous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Cress and Liz were sure they had never seen Lis before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would definitely have remembered such a distinctively charismatic young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Liz is fleeing a marriage, right?” Lis said with a smile, looking at Liz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continuing to stay here will surely lead to discovery. I’m here to help you both escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re really so kind-hearted?” Cress retorted, her social experience might not have been plentiful, but she wasn’t naïve enough to trust a stranger so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I have my own purpose,” Lis nodded, shifting his gaze towards Cress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More specifically, towards the black metal ring on Cress’s right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring seemed somewhat old, with traces of gray amidst the black, and the intricate decoration on it suggested that it was no mere trinket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a reward for leading you out, I would like to have that ring in your hand,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress, noticing Lis’s gaze, looked at her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an heirloom ring from Cresce’s House, kept with the family’s collection of magic books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress wore the ring as it helped her focus, never considering it particularly precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not expect that ring to bring this mysterious man to her doorstep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most pressing question was how this man, claiming to be Lis, knew about these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only knew about Liz’s elopement but also that she had such a ring in her possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ring was the requested reward, Cress didn’t really mind; the ring wasn’t of much use in her hands, even if it were valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Cress didn’t want to agree to Lis’s terms just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, she wanted to clear things up first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want the ring, that’s no problem,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how do you know so much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress stared intently at Lis, seeking an answer from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis leaned back in his chair and said with a smile to Cress:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young lady, do you believe in prophecies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress was a bit slow to react and stared blankly at Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply put, you know about Prophets and Seers, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liz listened curiously from the side while Cress nodded; she had read about them in the magic books passed down through her family, but there wasn’t much information on the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, the profession of a Prophet is quite special, known for using Prophetic magic like ‘Detect Magic’ and ‘Modify Destiny’.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But when it comes to predicting the future, Seers are even better at it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am a Seer, who learned about your situations through prophecy and sensed that I need the ring in your possession.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I help you escape danger, and you give me the ring; it’s fair,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Posing as a Seer was something he had planned beforehand; if he encountered similar situations while traveling, he could disguise his true prophetic talents as those of a Seer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it was hard to expose a true Seer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Prophets, Seers are more like charlatans, sometimes accurate, sometimes not, with abilities that cannot be trained but rely on innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outsiders never know which of their words are true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation actually afforded better cover for Lis’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress was somewhat skeptical but this could at least provide a passable explanation for her doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you plan to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cress asked, thinking that if it meant taking a great risk, it might be better to continue hiding at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liz remained silent, leaving all the decisions to Cress, trusting that Cress wouldn’t harm her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trust me, I have already foreseen the best way to leave this place,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis spoke mysteriously, continuing to bamboozle Cress and Liz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t realized how addictive pretending to be a charlatan could be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—————–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscount Kuka’s Castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Useless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man cursed, smashing his wine glass onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guard Captain standing before him couldn’t even lift his head, silently enduring the reprimand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man venting his anger was Viscount Kuka; Liz’s elopement two days ago had made him lose face completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the wedding, the invited nobles looked on with mocking smiles, while Count Solo’s expression was even more awkward, only just stopping short of making threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Viscount Kuka knew that if he didn’t find Liz soon, Count Solo wouldn’t let him off easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Solo was a noble whose family influence was far greater than his own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, please be assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler standing by spoke respectfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have sent for the Mage who masters the ‘Seeking Person Skill’; news should arrive soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ‘Seeking Person Skill’, as one of the Low-level Prophecy Magic, is quite reliable for finding ordinary people way below the user’s own power level; however, not many mages possess this skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it is a rare form of Prediction Magic, and only a Silver Mage in Count Solo’s Territory has mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make it quick,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viscount Kuka said impatiently, his expression grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now his only hope was that Liz hadn’t run off with another man; that would truly spell disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-03T10:58:20.093Z","2026-06-03T10:58:25.962Z",1,"novelbin.me","00f8a7be644d2470fb587292502a6aa7cb3f97f1f0b1baa05941cfc56dfa874a","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-207","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-205",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
