Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Saintess of Fata

Saint Karno City, a super city on the Aireland Continent, is located at the center of the continent. It lies on a vast plain, surrounded by green hills and lush forests, creating an atmosphere of harmony between humans and nature and various races.

The influential Saint Karno Academy, the Adventurer’s Guild headquarters, the Elf Race’s diplomatic consulate, the Human Knights Association, the Goblin United Union Headquarters... various forces can find traces in the grand Saint Karno City.

Saint Karno City is acknowledged as the most prosperous place on the continent and a city every race longs for.

On this continent, Saint Karno can be considered one of the safest cities. As long as the sky isn’t falling, you will be safe here.

This is because the Magic Tower, symbolizing the highest magic forces on the entire continent, is located on the southeastern outskirts of Saint Karno City.

As the place with the richest magic aura on the continent and the longest magical history, the Magic Tower is not only a dream place for every mage wishing to further their studies but also an academy training the orthodox mages that every kingdom prays for, a crucial force to counter the Demon King.

Whether it’s providing high-quality mages for the Heroic Squad during the campaign against the Demon King or using Divination Art to locate the Demon King’s Heir during its dormant period, the power of the Magic Tower cannot be underestimated.

The 45th Demon King, Mike Ansel, who once led the demon race in counterattacking the Human Kingdom, had this to say about the Magic Tower:

If the city we were attacking was Saint Karno, protected by the Magic Tower, I would allow my Demon King’s army to desert.

The essence of the Magic Tower is a towering spire reaching the clouds, one of the landmark buildings in Saint Karno City.

Rumor has it that the Magic Tower has stood for ten thousand years on the continent. The tower’s exterior is a dark purple, with a faint flowing motion, as if the entire tower is shrouded in a magic aura from afar.

It’s said that the Magic Goddess realized the true meaning of magic in this tower, becoming the Magic Origin itself, turning into every wisp of magic aura drifting across the continent.

Inside the Magic Tower, a girl in deep-colored mage’s robe slowly ascends the stairs, her knee-high boots making crisp sounds on the steps.

The girl’s long black hair gently brushes her waist, the ends slightly swaying as she walks. Despite wearing a relatively loose mage’s robe, her tall figure is vaguely discernible.

Her legs are straight, her waist slender, her chest slightly raised, and her neck is as graceful as a swan.

A ray of sunlight spills onto the black-haired girl’s face from outside the window.

Her fair and delicate face shows no expression, her dark eyes like a still spring deep in the mountains, calmly gazing ahead. Her elegant and straight nose and lips as delicate as cherry blossoms gently close together.

If she participated in a beauty contest, she would definitely crush skeletons and jelly, being on the same level as the white-haired hero Oka Lina, with only a certain blonde elf slightly surpassing her.

The girl ascends higher and higher, reaching an open platform at the top of the Magic Tower, standing behind an elder with flowing white hair.

From here, almost the entire scenery of Saint Karno City is in view, even seeing the seemingly endless plains beyond.

The sun bathes the land, birds soar in the sky, a gentle breeze flows through the air, and the noisy sounds of the city seem carried by the wind to this high place.

The girl greets respectfully.

"Good morning, Professor Weasley."

The elder turns back, stroking his long mustache, and looks at the black-haired girl in the mage’s robe.

The elder before her is one of the seven current Great Mages of the Magic Tower, Ryan Weasley, a guardian of the Magic Tower and the Chief Professor of Magic Origin research at Saint Karno Academy.

Looking at the black-haired girl, he smiles benevolently.

"Oh, isn’t this Miss Saintess? You’ve been out of sight for so long, did you go looking for a boyfriend? Although I doubt anyone could match the Saintess of the Magic Tower. What brings you to see me so early?"

"Please don’t tease me, Professor. I’ve just been spending a lot of time in the library’s magical history section lately. In fact, it’s strange not to see Professor Weasley in the library, considering you’re researching Magic Origin, yet you haven’t visited the library once this month."

The black-haired girl smiles gently, her eyes directly gazing at him.

"Ahem, ahem. I’ve been hooked on fishing recently..."

Weasley coughs awkwardly a few times.

"As a Great Mage, you shouldn’t engage in such boring activities."

Weasley eyes her incredulously.

How could fishing be boring?

"There’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time and couldn’t understand, so I came to seek your guidance, Professor."

But before justifying fishing, Weasley calms his emotions, restoring a demeanor of seriousness expected of an elder.

"Before your question, I want to ask you something else."

"Please go ahead, Professor."

"I heard you recently visited the Frost Penguins and melted the iceberg they had saved up for the summer."

"Indeed, such a thing happened. I tested my little Fireball Magic on them."

Weasley raises an eyebrow speechlessly.

"The entire race complained to Saint Karno Academy about us."

"Didn’t I later replenish it with Ice Magic?"

"But many Frost Penguin feathers got burned off."

"I should’ve killed them all; that way, no one would report it."

The black-haired girl murmurs, Weasley glaring coldly as the girl’s lips curl into a sly smile.

"Just kidding, I got it~"

"...In any case, such unbecoming actions for the Saintess of the Magic Tower are not allowed in the future."

"Alright~"

The burning intensity in the girl’s eyes does not fade, becoming sharper where Weasley can’t see, like a blade.

Tch, Frost Penguins, a truly extinct-worthy species...

Weasley returns to the main topic.

"What is the question you sought me for? With your level of magic understanding, there’s very little I need to explain at this stage."

"That’s true. But this isn’t about magic."

The black-haired girl raises her head to look at Weasley.

"Professor Weasley, it’s been almost two months since the last Divination Art was cast, right? When will the next one be performed?"

"In about a year. There’s no rushing these things."

Weasley answers slowly.

"Although Divination Art is the most powerful magic, akin to directly praying to the Magic Goddess for a heaven-defying prophecy, the cooldown of Divination Art is not as lengthy as the outside world imagines."

The black-haired girl says calmly.

"From what I understand, you and the other six professors are fully capable of casting Divination Art again. Why wait another year? Isn’t it better to find the Demon King as soon as possible?"

I’ve been stuck all day because I couldn’t think of a name for this Chapter, seeking a name for the female protagonist, background as Magic Tower, identity as Saintess.

This Chapter will be released on Friday noon, but it seems not many people are reading it (awkward
