Fran's Prophecy

After conquering the Royal Capital, Fran did not interfere much with the Sect's progress.

After capturing the Royal Capital, the number of First Order Profession within the Radiant Sect had reached a considerable number, and coupled with their powerful weaponry, capturing a town guarded by a lord was actually quite easy.

At this point, Fran no longer needed to concern herself with this matter. If, after all her efforts, her subordinates couldn't even handle the remaining Antir, she might as well just bang her head against a wall and die.

Fran temporarily shifted her focus, intending to accelerate construction only after the entirety of Antir had been conquered, when finally the message from the Lord of Radiance arrived.

"The Alliance has submitted an application to enter the ' Ancient ' Realm."

Fran immediately put down her work, chanted the incantation, and arrived in the Spirit Realm.

She immediately went to the Divine Statue where the Lord of Radiance was located.

However, before she even entered the room, the voice of the Lord of Radiance rang in her mind.

"No need to go in. Just tell me what's wrong here."

Fran showed no surprise. Even though she wasn't wearing the necklace that allowed her to communicate with the Lord of Radiance, she was still spreading the Lord of Radiance's faith extensively in the Material Realm, so the Lord of Radiance could naturally speak directly into her mind right now.

Of course, this only applies to the Spirit Realm.

"Have the Alliance members gone in?"

"No, but it'll be soon. What do you want to do?"

Fran paused for a moment before stating her request.

"When the Alliance members went in, they told me to go in with them, right the moment they went in..."

The Lord of Radiance remained silent for an unusually long time before she finally spoke, offering her advice:

"Are you sure you want to go in? That's the Alliance. Although the contract doesn't explicitly state that you can't go in, it's just..."

"The Alliance allowed Una and Una to enter because we had already been inside before; this was to ensure there were no loopholes in the Abyss Contract..."

"Even if I wanted to get in now, I couldn't escape the Alliance's blockade, because they have been physically sealing off the entire realm..."

"Even if I submit an application to the Alliance, they won't agree, and even if they do, I won't get the result I want..."

Fran wiped the Divine Temple gate clean, then continued:

"That's why I asked you to keep an eye on the Alliance's entry applications. When the Alliance opens up entry, I'll go in with them. At that point, the Alliance won't find out..."

"You need to be careful. I estimate the Alliance's blockade will only be open for a short window of time. If we miss it, we probably won't be able to get in."

This time window is the Alliance's mechanism for resisting most outsiders and identifying itself; only Spirit Realm Traveler enter at specific times can truly enter.

Fran understood this mechanism and knew that if she did this, the Alliance wouldn't notice.

This is because detection methods are scarce; there is no way in the world to detect the entry and exit of people within a boundary.

This is the realm of the Spirit Realm itself, Fran believes that the Alliance Spirit Realm unlikely to have that much control over it.

What do you want to do inside?

"Like the Alliance, prophecy."

Although Fran did not directly know what the Alliance members had done or discovered in the realm, which led to such an overreaction.

However, later, through the Lord of Radiance, Fran indirectly learned what the Alliance had done at that time.

Although Una ruled the entire realm at that time, the High-Order Mage naturally knew that there was still a Spirit Realm lord within the realm.

Using their methods, isolating Una's senses and keeping Una unaware of what was happening was a very simple matter.

Furthermore, Una herself was reluctant to investigate what had happened to the Alliance, as she held it in awe.

But who can blame them for the abstract concept that spells fluctuate after they are cast?

This is how Una described what she felt at that time.

"I sensed a familiar fluctuation coming from the direction of those people every now and then. They were only slightly different, but most of the fluctuations were the same, though the intervals between them varied."

This basically explains why the mages of the Astrology School were able to detect something special simply by using the same spell.

Although Fran couldn't go to Una to let her experience the spell in detail, Fran was 90% certain that it was a very basic spell— Prophecy Spell.

Anyone who is First Order Mage in the Astrology School will know this spell, because mages in the Astrology School almost automatically learn this spell after advancing in rank.

They truly learn automatically; no Astrology School of magic is an exception.

In this way, Fran pieced together what exactly happened to these Astrology School mages in the ' Ancient ' realm.

They used Prophecy Spell in a row to piece together a terrible message that could only be obtained from within the ' Ancient ' realm.

This is why the Alliance is willing to go to such lengths to blockade the ' Ancient ' realm.

According to Fran's rudimentary understanding, the ' Ancient ' Realm itself is connected to the event that would trigger the Alliance, which is why information can only be obtained through prophecy within the ' Ancient ' Realm.

After learning all this, Fran conceived the idea of going inside herself and making a prophecy.

Since the Alliance has taken such extreme actions, even though the Alliance have now signed Abyss Contract with him, it doesn't mean the Alliance won't take action against him.

In order to take control of the situation, Fran must personally perform a prophecy to obtain relevant information.

She was very optimistic about the information she could obtain, after all, her Star Gazing Art alone were enough to demonstrate her talent in this area.

Therefore, after signing the Abyss Contract, Fran used Remote Communication Device to request some information about the Astrology School from the Northern Lands Society.

Now, two new items have appeared on her Panel.

[Profession: Mage (Astrology) (One Star)...]

[Trait: Astrology Spell Specialization...]

After some time, Fran finally got the Astrology School mage Order to appear on her Panel, and now she can use Prophecy Spell.

"Alright, I think the time's up. Teleport me there. I won't provoke the Alliance anymore..."

The Lord of Radiance paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Okay, I believe you this time."

Although Fran's actions may seem like suicide, the Lord of Radiance knows better than anyone that Fran values her life more than anyone else, and she will not do anything that is risky but has no reward.

The teleportation went very smoothly. When Fran opened her eyes, she saw the main hall in the center of the realm.

Above the main hall are Divine Statue of three Deity, Divine Statue are still gazing at the center of the building and appear to be undamaged.

Fran pushed open the door and saw the dining table, which hadn't been cleaned yet, exactly the same as when she last came. It looked as if the person had simply vanished.

Fran entered the cylindrical room and saw a somewhat haggard Una sitting on the floor, her hair disheveled and looking like it hadn't been styled in a long time.

"Una, the Alliance hasn't done anything to you, has it?"

Una's face lit up with surprise. She got up from the ground and rushed towards Fran.

"Your Majesty the Proxy..."

Una hugged Fran, her body trembling slightly. Fran understood, after all, Una could sense that the boundary had been physically sealed off.

And to learn through the Deity she worships that she is involved in such a major event and must continue to stay here alone, how could she not feel distressed?

After Una's body calmed down a bit, Fran pushed Una away and slowly said:

"When I use the spell later, feel it carefully and see if it has the same magical fluctuations as before."

Una paused for a moment, but nodded nonetheless.

Fran didn't explain much to Una and immediately began casting her Prophecy Spell.

Of course, she didn't directly predict anything related to this realm; instead, she predicted something else entirely.

"Can I win the Gold Alchemy Award?"

The Prophecy Spell consumed a portion of Fran's Mental Power, but then yielded an answer that didn't surprise Fran.

"If you are recognized by the Alchemy School's Academic Awards Committee, you can receive the Gold Alchemy Award."

That's just nonsense. Anyone who gets the approval of the Alchemy School Awards Committee can get the Gold Alchemy Award.

Fran was not surprised to receive such information, after all, she herself did not know much about the Gold Alchemy Award, nor was she clear about the specific criteria for the award; in other words, she lacked sufficient connections.

Moreover, the questions she asked involved far too many things, conservatively estimated to be no less than ten Fourth Order Mage. To obtain reliable information from them would be a pipe dream.

"It's that fluctuation," Una replied.

This relieved Fran, because if her guess was wrong, she would have had to risk using her Star Gazing Art.

"Una, you can step back a bit now. I'm about to make a real prophecy..."

"Don't worry about safety. The Alliance won't easily take action here. It's just that you might have to stay here for a long time, and no one else will be able to come..."

Una nodded and stepped back.

Fran took a deep breath and used the Prophecy Spell again.

After considering the key words for the question, she thought for a moment and finally decided to say it like this:

"What the Alliance is most concerned about here."

The magical fluctuations of the Prophecy Spell dissipated from Fran's hands. She felt that this experiment was different from the previous ones, which were like finding the thread she wanted from a ball of yarn.

Now, she senses only one very clear line.

"You will eventually encounter this crucial moment before you reach the Fourth Order."

"This matter itself won't harm the Alliance, but those beings who want to orchestrate it will."

"The Gods will do everything in their power to prevent living beings from discovering something."

"The main island of the Church of the Goddess of Ocean Currents will play a crucial role at critical moments."

Fran scratched her head. There was just too much information. If it was all from just her, how could she possibly organize it all, given how many mages there were in the Alliance?

Fran noted down all this information and was about to analyze it when another piece of information surfaced in her mind.

"By using Star Gazing Art, you can obtain more important information."
