257 Meeting a Celestial Part 1 (1/2)

Wallace's mind quickly processed all the information he learned.

Aeolia was here to stop the mysterious Mana Calamity.

He didn't mention how did he find this place but based on his actions, it almost felt like he actually owns the place. The act of giving them this spacecraft was already something very notable.

The two guests have the impression that this person, Aeolia Schien, actually made this place. They were thinking that he was probably unable to take care of it for the past years that resulted to have those monsters live in here.

It may be the truth or probably close to it based on the clues they gathered.

The man was also aware of the mana corruption which was just new to the two. The Grand Arcanist wasn't knowledgeable about this as well considering that there was no such thing as mana corruption in the southern continent.

The most he could think of was the mana purity.

Before completing the Arcane Baptism, the limit of everyone's Mana purity was only 70% and after getting the Arcane Link, everyone would have 93% of purity with the exception of Wallace. The two were thinking that the mana corruption Aeolia was referring to was also a form of mana purity's abnormality.

”What's with the corrupted mana?”

Slaine directly asks as he was quite new to this information.

”Something similar to radiation, I guess... This tower was previously made to conduct various experiments. Unfortunately, it didn't last long because of several failed experiments.”

They had the urge to get the complete story of this tower but they don't think that it was a significant thing to their current plans. They believed that they will know the complete history of this man when the time comes.

”Can we still do something about the people affected by corruption?”

”Hmmm... Let's see. If you find a location where there's a revitalization mana spring and has been existing for more than a hundred years, then try letting them take a bath in that place... It should help them remove the corruption...”

Wallace nodded and looked at his master for this...

Slaine didn't put him down as he nodded. He was aware that his apprentice doesn't have a way to get access to a Revitalization Mana Spring and his glance meant that he was relying on him about this. He was also acquainted with Percival so he didn't really mind helping.

He was also grateful that his apprentice gave him a copy of the prince's logbook so it was fine to fulfill some of his requests. Anyway, it shouldn't be too much trouble once they returned to the southern continent.

Now that it was settled, the only remaining concern was Slaine's request to get assistance with the Celestial Beings.

They were powerful sentient beings with vague origins.

Their way of life was also different considering that their bodies were different from humans. But it didn't mean that they could no longer cooperate with each other. Slaine believes that as long as their intention was genuine and for the better of this world, those powerful Celestials will understand and give them a hand once they were in trouble.

He would feel absolutely confident to face the invaders if they have at least one or two Celestials on their side.

”Sigh~ A Celestial really mentioned that you have to come and visit me?”

”Mhmm... That's right... I asked for their assistance but it seems that they were unable to help unless you've allowed them. At least, that is how I understood. Is there something wrong?”

”Haaa... So they really think that I can help, huh...”

Aeolia sighed before explaining everything to the two.

”That truth is that they wanted to leave this place as much as you do. That was their goal for many years already. Unfortunately, whenever they tried leaving the center of this land, their powers will gradually weaken and if they continued moving away, their powers will slowly vanish until there was nothing left.”

Wallace and Slaine who had read the translated logbook immediately remembered the prince's notes about his human experimentations to create powerful soldiers to fight against the empire.

One of their weaknesses noted by the prince was their incapability to leave the northern continent. They only had a hunch about them before but Aeolia's words confirmed everything.

'Those soldiers... Then, they are referring to these Celestials? If that was the case, this prince was truly impressive.'
