Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 412 The Time Curse
He had not seen Parly since the day he awakened the "Future Preview".

"Bette"

"Diviner Level 5 / Scholar Level 4"

"Atlan City - Grand Library - Ancient Library Keeper"

……

Information flooded Lu Cang's mind.

He was indeed just an ordinary librarian.

She's not exactly ordinary... After all, there are quite a few level 5 diviners, especially one who also holds the rank of level 4 scholar. With her level, she would be considered a respected diviner and a revered scholar no matter where she is.

Beatrice.

Parly also used this name.

Lu Cang remembered that when Izparut introduced Parry to him, he called her "Bette".

However, Parly said that was her old name, and her current name is Parly.

The person in front of me looks so much like Pally.

And there are also similar names.

It's so weird.

Lu Cang looked at the death date displayed above her head—her death date…

It was just 20 years later.

It's completely different from the fact that it took over four thousand years for Pali to die.

But the person in front of me is undoubtedly real.

"Yes, I am a fortune teller. Is Paris the person you are looking for?"

"Could you tell me in detail what she looks like? Maybe I can help you."

Lu Cang: "She looks a lot like you."

"Almost identical."

Upon hearing Lu Cang's description, Beatrice put down the tattered ancient book in her hand: "Hmm..."

On the table, a series of fate cards were manifested.

The divination techniques she used were the same as Paris's.

They are all fortune telling cards.

Lu Cang waited quietly for the other party to perform the divination. After she flipped through a few cards, she slowly shook her head and said, "There are no omens in this regard."

All three cards are weather cards depicting a cloudless sky.

Lu Cang can now understand divination and roughly know what it foretells.

"Thank you."

It seems we won't get any more clues.

"By the way, sister... I'm looking for some books about Eichator, do you remember him?"

For polymaths, reading through an entire library of books in one or two months is not a difficult task.

Librarians who work in libraries usually read at least all the books in their assigned area.

“Aichcator…I have some recollection of him.”

"These books were sealed away by the manager and are in the ancient and fragmentary book archive on the fifth floor."

"If you want to see it, you'll probably have to apply to the administrator."

"Wait... are you a child?"

Betty seemed to only then notice that Lu Cang was a child, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Cang scratched his cheek: "Uh... right?"

The other party's reaction seemed a bit slow.

I initially thought the other person was just calm and that it wasn't strange that they thought I was a child, but it turns out they just hadn't realized what was going on.

"It's not very convenient for small children."

"These precious ancient books are generally not lent to children, I'm sorry."

I won't lend it...

Lu Cang scanned the upper floors of the ancient library with his senses, and found that most of the rooms on the upper floors had restrictions in place.

There are many books.

Such scenarios are not uncommon.

Large libraries typically have restricted areas because some books are not available for general public reading.

"Okay... I got it."

Lu Cang looked somewhat dejected and helpless as he headed towards the exit.

After watching Lu Cang leave, Beatrice picked up the tattered ancient book in her hand again.

The instant Lu Cang disappeared from Bitie's sight, he appeared in a dark room on the fifth floor.

"Boy."

"You seem quite interested in that administrator," An Su teased in her mind. Lu Cang replied simply, "She's just like a friend I know."

"what kind of friends?"

"A very strange friend."

Lu Cang did not say anything more.

As for Beatrice, he could only be more cautious. Even knowing of her existence, there was nothing Lu Cang could do for the time being.

Ansu had already told him a lot more about Ekhator.

One of the most important things is that I heard that Ahkator once regretted doing something wrong and completely sealed away that time period and his past self.

It's very likely the person behind that door.

As for what exactly happened, Ansu didn't know either.

This is just an ancient legend... The origin of the legend is difficult to trace.

I've also heard that there are many ruins in the world related to Ekhator, and explorers of these ruins inexplicably arrive in a time and space that doesn't belong to our time.

The existence of these relics is also the cornerstone of modern "time science".

Based on the investigation and exploration of these relics, scholars who studied time in the White Pagoda also concluded that the past is not necessarily the past of the present.

Time can potentially form a closed loop, influencing past situations from the present moment.

But in general, what has happened will not change.

Lu Cang broke through the restrictions on the fifth floor and entered the room.

The books here are almost all incomplete or missing pages.

"Are you here to look for clues?"

"The ancient books here are indeed quite comprehensive..."

"However, even in my time, there were very few records about Ekhator."

Lu Cang: "If it were you, where do you think would be the best place to get clues?"

As Lu Cang answered the question, he opened the tattered ancient book.

These books are so tattered that they are almost unreadable; just holding them in your hands to keep them from falling apart is a skill in itself.

However, Lu Cang perfectly deciphered all the records on it by using "information tracing".

This is a book from about 7000 years ago.

It's not a record from the period of time 5000 years ago, but a book from 7000 years ago is indeed quite rare.

It is an ancient travelogue magazine called "Qi Hai Guan" (奇海观).

It really wasn't helpful, so Lu Cang casually put it back.

"If it were me... hehe, perhaps I would go looking for the ruins left behind by Ehkator."

Lu Cang: "Hmm... what do you think is the closest ruins of Ekhator to here?"

An Su pondered for a moment, then replied, "If I remember correctly, there is one in the Turbid Sea."

Lu Cang opened another book and replied, "Too far."

Ansu: "If even the Turbid Sea is far away, then the rest must be even further away."

Lu Cang remained silent and did not continue the conversation.

Instead, he continued to explore the books in the room.

According to the administrator's description, there are indeed descriptions related to Ekhator here.

Coming here to look is just the first stop...

Lu Cang didn't have high hopes that he would definitely find clues here. If he couldn't find them here, he planned to go to the White Pagoda to look for them later.

After searching for about ten minutes, Lu Cang found a book called "The Time Curse".

"Is this it...?"

The book was very tattered. When Lu Cang picked it up, he saw that most of the writing on it had disappeared.

The entire book was a dull, yellowish color.

It looks like the bark of an old tree that has been eroded by time for millions of years.

"Kid...you're just flipping through these books. Do you even know how to read them?"

Even if a book with only a few words is deciphered, it would probably be difficult to fully understand its meaning.
Lu Cang did not answer, but silently flipped through the pages.

"God-level Information Tracing"

All the missing words surfaced in Lu Cang's mind.

"I am trapped in the curse of time."

"Ever since that day, after I came back from that dark spiral, every day of my life has been going backwards."

"I am no longer like a normal person, constantly moving towards the future."

"Instead, it's about going back to the past day after day."

"In just one day, I returned from the Abyss to the prosperous Mithril. I don't know what I can leave behind in this space-time, nor do I know where I will eventually end up."

"I can only leave this record here, in the hope that it will be seen by others who have had the same experience as me in the future."
