Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy-Chapter 827 Familiar

"We're finally here…" Aubrey muttered after seeing the familiar town below them. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Following a journey that spanned several hours, the grand Airship gently descended, coming to rest in the bustling Miner Town nestled within Monforte County.

The sight of the majestic Airship had obviously gathered attention and several Arcanists of various ranks, police officers, and even the town mayor were alerted by their arrival.

Some of them thought that a noble had graced their town and, perhaps, was about to share some blessings with them.

However, they soon recognized Aubrey, and most of the people gathered there immediately dispersed. Many of them, especially those old ones, may not hate Aubrey, but they have to avoid her.

She dealt with entities that couldn't be seen with normal eyes, and they didn't want to get energy from her.

Thud…

As Vale and Aubrey disembarked and entered the town, they were greeted by the lively hum of the town's streets, teeming with traders and travelers going about their daily routines.

Opting to rent a carriage, Vale and Aubrey set off towards Aubrey's office, a place where she worked as a Paranormal Investigator. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Are you famous in this area?" Vale asked after the commotion a while ago. He noticed that there were a lot of people who were disappointed after seeing her. He couldn't help but find this amusing.

"Famous? Maybe… They need to know me since there have been a lot of paranormal activities around here lately… To be honest, there were several towns nearby that had an increased number of similar cases." She replied.

"Ohh… Do you think it's related to the ghost you were looking for?" Vale asked.

The two of them continued with their light conversation as their carriage rattled along cobbled streets lined with picturesque shops and old buildings…

The weather seemed quite pleasing as the sun cast a golden glow over the town.

Vale felt like this was a great vacation after staying in that castle for a long time and was busy doing various missions to save the main body.

Well, even if he was only an Avatar, he was still feeling tired and exhausted from the busy life in the castle.

Now that he was able to leave that place, he felt his body relax… He wasn't worried even with the fact that they were being observed by a couple of Untainted Sentinels from a distance.

Now that he was able to leave that place, he felt his body relax… He wasn't worried even with the fact that they were being observed by a couple of Untainted Sentinels from a distance.

After fighting against Demon Saints, Death God, Deadly Sins, and other powerful beings, these Untainted Sentinels felt like a breath of fresh air.

Anyway, upon arriving at her office, Aubrey was greeted by a flood of letters that filled her mailbox. Each of them was a request and contained stories of otherworldly encounters and spectral disturbances that required her assistance.

"You can go ahead and check them first. We're not in a hurry anyway…"

Vale, ever the attentive companion, encouraged Aubrey to examine the letters at her own pace… After all, there might be very important requests there that she needed to immediately attend.

As Aubrey delved into the letters, her brow furrowed in concentration as she sifted through the varied requests that poured in from the townsfolk.

Vale, meanwhile, took the opportunity to explore the office. His keen eyes scanned the shelves lined with ancient tomes, enchanted relics, and intricate Formation Arts that hinted at Aubrey's expertise in dealing with the supernatural.

'She's really a Paranormal Investigator.' Vale thought as he considered whether he would've become one as well if he graduated.

He recalled that once he graduated as a Ritualist, he could consider becoming an Occult Consultant, Paranormal Investigator, Museum Curator or Artifact Expert, Ritual Designer, Arcane Researcher, or even a Professor in the Academy.

'I'd probably choose to become a Paranormal Investigator… Going to various places seemed more interesting than becoming a Professor or Curator in a specific place.' Vale mused.

After some time, while Vale was lost in his thoughts, Aubrey suddenly emerged with a steaming cup of tea for him…

He failed to notice that she was actually preparing some refreshments for him.

"Thank you…" Vale replied at the gesture of hospitality. He really appreciated it and he also realized that Aubrey was still the same with her thoughtful nature.

Vale accepted the tea graciously, savoring its warmth as he settled into a chair… He then recalled the letters she received.

"Any intriguing requests among the letters?" Vale inquired, his voice had a hint of anticipation as Aubrey shared the details of a peculiar case involving a haunted cemetery that had garnered significant attention in the town.

Multiple requests had flooded in from concerned visitors seeking to eliminate or banish the mysterious presence that haunted the graveyard…

This task piqued Aubrey's interest since there were several victims already… Furthermore, all the victims are young females.

"Do you want to check the place with me?"

Aubrey asked after revealing the extent of the requests related to the cemetery haunting…

"Let's go… Do you want to check it now, or would you still be resting?" Vale asked since he was worried that Aubrey was tired after just arriving.

"Ugh… Now that you said it, let's go later at night to check the situation. There's a higher chance that the spirit will show at that time." She replied.

Vale nodded in understanding.

"Very well."

After some time had passed, under the shroud of night, Vale and Aubrey ventured into the grounds of the cemetery…

As they reached a certain area in the graveyard, they felt as if they just crossed the threshold into the realm of the supernatural. A sense of spiritual power enveloped them.

Then, Vale's keen senses detected a familiar presence...

'This is…' Vale frowned as he recalled what kind of energy this was.

As they followed the direction of the spirit, they soon noticed a translucent figure chained on the ground. This figure was beautiful without a doubt…

"A messenger, a fallen angel…" Vale murmured, his voice tinged with recognition as he gazed upon the being that stood before them.

"Is that the messenger I've heard of?!" Aubrey exclaimed while her gaze fixed on the apparition. She felt a sense of awe and wonder at the sight of this mysterious being.
