Chapter 96 Celie
Seven days later, Shichen and his companions finally arrived at their destination.
It would normally take about four days to get there, but Vlame wasn't in a hurry to get there so early; she was very interested in the scenery along the way.
She hadn't visited her master in a long time, and the scenery along the way had changed so much that she couldn't bear to miss it.
Shichen also wanted to spend more time with the two of them, and didn't care about the occasion, so it didn't matter.
Frillie, on the other hand, kept complaining the whole way, wanting to reach her destination quickly and collapse. Each day they walked for most of the day...
She had never walked like this before, and it was too difficult for her.
Unfortunately, Shichen and Vlame completely ignored her.
If Shichen hadn't carried her for a while, she probably would have really lay down on the spot and refused to move.
"Is this where our master lived?" Shi Chen asked curiously, carrying Frilian on his back and looking at the stone-built cave entrance in front of him.
The entrance to the cave was unremarkable, lacking any sense of mystery or atmosphere, and there were no protective measures in place.
However, inside the cave, Shichen sensed a tremendous magical power.
This magic is no less than that of the Fourth Ancestor.
"Master doesn't care about other people, and with her here, nothing else matters," Vlame explained with a smile.
"Too."
In this world, magic is an extremely convenient thing. If you know all kinds of magic, you basically have nothing to lack.
"Let's go in." Vlame led the way into the cave.
"Frilian, wake up, it's time to see the Grandmaster." Shichen bounced Frilian behind him.
"Ugh...::::" Frillie opened her eyes groggily, then closed them again.
Shi Chen smiled and shook his head, then followed Fulame.
Frillie wasn't heavy, not even as heavy as the schoolbag he used to carry in junior high. And with her thin arms and legs, the cool fabric felt quite comfortable around his neck and on either side of his waist.
Stepping into the cave, you'll find a completely different world inside. Unlike the pitch-black entrance, the inside is exceptionally bright and spacious, resembling a palace.
The ground is made of stone slabs, surrounded by stone walls and stone pillars, much like Shichen's imagination of the ruins.
Shi Chen thought of the final boss's room in the game, where you enter the final level. In a sense, Celia is indeed the final boss.
Not long after following Vlame, Shichen could see the end in the distance, where there were mountains of books, all of them magic books.
Before the mountain of magic books, there was a damaged stone seat, and on the seat sat a petite girl.
She had striking, brilliant blonde hair and long, pointed ears on either side; like Frilian, she was an elf.
However, compared to her elfin appearance, the arrogant smile on her delicate face is even more captivating.
Her posture was equally arrogant; she wore a coat, one leg crossed, one hand on her knee, and her chin propped up, watching Shi Chen and the others arrive with unrestrained disdain.
Lazy yet domineering, like a demon king.
She is the pinnacle of magic, a great magician who has lived from the age of mythology to the present, and the elf closest to the omniscient and omnipotent goddess, Celia.
Vlame was the first to reach the steps. She knelt on one knee and respectfully whispered, "Master."
"Volamey." Celia looked at Volamey with a cold smile, her expression unchanged.
At this moment, Shichen carried Frilian to Vlame's side. He glanced at her warily, thought for a moment, and still did not kneel down like her.
Vlame didn't say anything.
"What's going on with these two? Are they your apprentices?" Celia asked, staring intently at Shichen.
"Yes."
"Hehe, time really flies. The disciple I took on on a whim back then has now brought his grand-disciple here."
Celia rose from her seat, barefoot, and slowly approached the hour. She glanced warily at Frilian, who was on his back.
"Oh, elves, of my kind."
"Master, his name is Shichen, and the one Shichen is carrying is called Frilian."
"That's really nice."
Celia didn't look at Frilian much, but instead stared at Shichen with a wild smile, her golden eyes seemingly filled with fighting spirit.
The timing was indeed felt; this time, Vlame's prediction was right.
That's understandable, though. Celie is pursuing her rival, and he hasn't hidden his magic power. It's no wonder she's not motivated to fight him.
But compared to her rising fighting spirit, Shi Chen was more concerned about something else: just now, the "she" in her mind spoke.
[Target discovered for hosting a divine fragment!]
[Target: Celia.]
[Quest: Engage with her, defeat her, and conquer her to collect the Divine Shard.]
It's one thing that Celia has fragments of divine power, but the mission she's given is something else entirely.
What does it mean to conquer her?
Did you read my mind?
Why doesn't Master have any fragments of divine power?
You look down on her, don't you?
"Grandmaster." Shi Chen ignored Celie's fighting spirit and called out softly.
"Heh~" Celia sneered as she attacked, then asked Volame, "Volame, where did you find this guy?"
"Master, we met by chance," Vlame said with a gentle smile as he stood up.
She could naturally tell that Celia was interested in the time.
"Is it a coincidence? It's amazing that you've met two such amazing people. I'm quite fond of them!" Celia made no attempt to hide her admiration for Toki and Frillien, even though one of them was still asleep.
"Frilian." Shichen ignored Celia, called out to Frilian, and then knelt down to put her down.
"Hmm...:::::" Frilian looked like she hadn't woken up yet. After landing, she swayed and grabbed Shichen's clothes.
Shi Chen looked at her with amusement, then flicked her forehead without any mercy.
"Pain!" This woke Frillie up. She covered her forehead, pouted, and looked aggrieved.
"Don't sleep yet, Master is right in front of you," Shi Chen reminded him.
"矣一"
Frillie looked at Celia helplessly and casually called out, "Grandmaster."
"Celeel remained silent, her expression unchanged, a half-smile that looked like she was about to hit someone.
Frilian didn't care at all, leaning against Shichen and dozing off.
"I'm sorry, Grandmaster, this is how Frillie is," Shichen said apologetically to Celie.
"Heh~" Celia sneered, then looked at Volamere.
"This guy is hopeless."
"No, Frilian is very strong," Vlame denied with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. Your name is Shichen, right?" Celie asked Shichen.
"Yes, Grandmaster." Shi Chen nodded.
"Very well, I'll remember you. You're qualified to know my name. My name is Celia."
"I already know," Shi Chen said with a smile.
"North." Celia paused, then continued with a cold laugh, "Heh~ It's better if you know. You, come and fight me."
"I'm not in the mood right now." Shi Chen shook his head in refusal.
"..." Celia's expression seemed to freeze for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"Grandmaster, we've just arrived, and we've been traveling a long and tiring way. It's one thing if you don't let us rest properly."
"You didn't even offer a proper greeting as my grandmaster, why should I fight you?" Shi Chen retorted.
"Selie looked at Volamere.
Vlame smiled and shrugged.
"Okay, very good."
Celia turned her head, nodded, and looked at Shichen with a dangerous smile: "Tell me, what kind of magic do you want?"
I have all the magic that has appeared in human history.
"It's not just me, it's Frillie too," Shichen reminded her with a smile.
"...Okay, what kind of magic do you two want?"
"No rush, let's choose tomorrow. Take a good rest today," Shi Chen replied softly.
Celia: "...."
