Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 879: Constance's Project



Vale's suspicions about Mennena's true situation weren't just a pure guess. It was also with the help of the Arcane Bureau, which had been using Mennena's abilities to complete their various missions.

After very long research and learning about Mennena's desire to acquire the Golden Key, they pieced together that she was most likely planning to save her main body in the Prison Realm. It wasn't too surprising since they all could tell that her strength was too powerful and mystical.

'I hope those guys are doing fine...' Vale thought as he recalled that Chad, Odessa, Jin, Aurion, and his other Avatar were still in that realm.

For now, however, he felt that he had to visit some of his friends. In any case, most of the immediate problems were already settled.

The matter with the mysterious potion that could turn ordinary people into Arcanists seemed intriguing as well, but he didn't really think that it would be a bad thing. Only time would tell what would happen once the number of Arcanists started to grow in an unprecedented way.

Vale then decided to visit Constance...

He had been informed that she was quite busy with her current project. Thankfully, the critical stages of her project should've been over, and he could see her now.

First, he was intrigued by the progress of her ambitious project. He made his way through the dense forest that surrounded his castle, heading towards the northern end where Constance was building her nine-floor Arcane Tower.

Indeed, she was building a tower that was even higher than those Arcane Towers built by most kingdoms.

As he approached, the sight before him was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

The construction site was a hive of activity. Numerous people, arcanists, golems, and even Elemental Creatures were hard at work.

'Those Elementals must be her summons...' Vale mused for a moment as he observed the surroundings.

Airships hovered above, transporting materials, while various vehicles moved to and fro, delivering supplies. The atmosphere buzzed with the essence of magic and machinery.

Constance, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, stood on another side of a hill where her temporary house was located.

She was overseeing the construction with a smile on her face. She watched as the foundation of her tower took shape and was glad that the core formation art was successfully placed yesterday.

Of course, the funds for this monumental project came partly from Vale's castle's earnings but also from her own business dealings with the kings of Ruri Kingdom and Milton Kingdom.

Nonetheless, the trade of the Divine Talisman was ultimately the main factor in how she was able to gather enough money to build this project.

After becoming a Spirit Immortal, Constance realized that advancing further in this realm was nearly impossible.

This Arcane Tower was her solution-a perfect place to develop her path of ascension. Unlike Vale, she didn't possess the ability to extract abilities, so she had to rely on her own ingenuity and resources.

Whom~

Vale suddenly appeared behind Constance and approached her. Of course, Vale didn't hide his presence, so it immediately drew her attention.

"Constance," he greeted with a warm voice.

"The tower is coming along beautifully."

Constance turned to him, her smile widening. "Vale! I'm glad you came. Yes, it's progressing well. The first three floors are almost complete. Right, are you sure that you're fully recovered?"

Vale looked around, taking in the bustling activity. "Yes... I'm already fine... I apologize for making you all worried."

"Haha! It's fine. I know that you can survive that. Did you manage to extract knowledge from the Death God, at the very least?" She asked.

"Just a little... I just learned that there were still various levels of immortals. However, it's impossible to reach that level while staying here." Vale revealed, to which Constance nodded.

She already guessed this much after seeing how Vale could easily defeat other mighty Immortal Beings. However, she still had no idea about this particular level. Perhaps she would know about it once she was able to ascend.

Nonetheless, she was still skeptical about this "going to the higher realm" or ascension since she believed that it would be better to stay in this continent and just keep it safe from other realm's influence.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Though this Arcane Tower would allow her to ascend in the future, it was also her way to be strong enough to ensure that no Realm Invaders would overpower her just in case another Invasion occurred.

Furthermore, Vale may not have mentioned this, but she knew that he was also unwilling to leave this land even after becoming an Immortal.

Instead, she believed that Vale would rather live here quietly and build the Academy and perhaps let the future Arcanists deal with the future problems...

Vale smiled, seeing how Constance remained silent. It was as if she wasn't interested with the levels of the Immortals.

"Ahem... Tell me about your Arcane Tower. How do you manage all of this?" Vale asked.

Constance chuckled. "It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. My days are filled with overseeing the construction, coordinating with the arcanists and golems, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Each floor has its own purpose and design... Ahh... I actually recruited a group of ordinary people a few days ago. However, they just became Arcanists and wanted to learn from me... So I'm thinking of building a small school so I can have minions someday. Hehehe..."

At this mention, Vale gently nodded as he considered that it might also be the time to build the Academy that Faith had requested.

Anyway, the two continued chatting as Constance gestured towards the structure they were building and explained the purpose of each floor...

"The first floor will be the entrance hall, a place of welcome and protection. The second floor is dedicated to research and experimentation, with laboratories and libraries. The third floor will house the living quarters for myself and any visiting scholars or allies..."
