Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 67 Another Feature



Everyone was shocked after hearing this…

"No way… Who would dare?"

"Isn\'t that a suicide? That place is filled with formations made by the Celestial Beings."

"Hmph… Didn\'t you hear about Miss Yvette\'s assassination attempt?"

"Y-you\'re right. I think it is connected."

"Did the Count offend someone he shouldn\'t have? Who doesn\'t know his might? Anyone who thinks of messing with the Count had surely considered his strength, right?"

"That\'s true… No one would just randomly attack the Count\'s house. This might be a huge matter."

The people within the auction hall started chatting about this sudden incident.

Within this City, the Count\'s property is probably the most secured place. They have hundreds of Swordbreaker Army stationed there and even a squad of magicians.

More than that, that place would normally have a Celestial Being guarding the perimeter.

"Perhaps they waited for the Celestial Being to leave…"

"Since the Celestial didn\'t act in yesterday\'s incident, perhaps they realized that the Count\'s Villa is now vulnerable?"

"That\'s more convincing… I wonder who dared?"

Everyone except for the people who won the bid hastily left the Auction House to see what was going on outside.

"Haa~ There are just too many problems coming up… I wonder what\'s happening to the city." Therese sighed as she found this situation quite weird.

Their city has been in peace for several years now. It is thanks to the Count who wisely invested in his Swordbreaker Army to maintain peace and create fear for those people who are planning to commit crimes.

Although he might be lacking when it comes to his subjects at the edge of his territory, the City of Hearts is still a place that he could boast as he allowed it to prosper comparable to a few cities under a Marquis.

"I\'m that it will be just fine. It\'s the Count\'s Villa after all. It might even be settled by now. Anyway, I have a question."

Vincent said as he followed Therese.

"Go ahead and ask."

"About the mysterious person who bought the Obsidian Doomblade, are we really not going to ask for their identity? Isn\'t this a bit too reckless? What if it goes in the hands of the Rebel Army?"

Vincent actually thought that the mysterious person was Joran. If that is indeed the case, won\'t they be helping the Rebel Army obtain such a powerful weapon?

"There\'s nothing we can do about that. It\'s the rule that was decided by the royal family. I\'m not sure why they did this but we can\'t just disobey them and make our own decision."

Vincent nodded at this. He already expected this answer but hearing it directly made it clear to him that this is most likely because of the profits they could earn.

\'Whatever… It\'s not related to me anyway.\'

***

After the Auction, there was nothing much to do so he requested Therese if he could work in the warehouse for some time. He said that he just want to clean the place as he felt bad about the precious items being neglected there because of their bad condition.

"You really like to be surrounded by precious items, huh. Although they are in bad condition, they are indeed not simple items so you still have to be careful. After you\'re done, you can go ahead and take one item with you."

Therese offered which delighted Vincent immediately.

"Is that true? I will really get one." Vincent wanted to make sure.

"It\'s fine… The items in the warehouse were all difficult to repair. In the end, we are using them as spare parts if we want to repair some items that can still be saved. It shouldn\'t matter even if you take one or two."

Therese said.

"Then can I take two?"

"Eh?" Therese was stunned for a moment before she smiled at Vincent. She didn\'t dislike his straightforward manner.

This is better than stealing it after all.

p "Hmmm… If you drink with me, I wouldn\'t mind it." Therese almost agreed but she thought that it won\'t be good if she just gave those items because he decided to request them.

"I\'m only fifteen…"

"Oh? So you haven\'t tried drinking yet? I guess alcohol is something precious in your village… Forget it. Just remember that you owe me one."

"Of course. Thank you, Manager. I will go to the warehouse now."

Vincent expressed his gratitude before he left the Auction Hall to the warehouse.

Because the warehouse has a lot of items and he\'s also cleaning it slowly cleaning, he was unable to appraise all the items. His mana has also dropped to thirty so he decided to stop for now.

He didn\'t want to be left with less than 20 units of mana. This is because he didn\'t want to be helpless if an emergency happened.

With his 30 units of mana, he can still execute his Shrouded Steps a few times which is more than enough for him to escape most of the dangers.

After a while, Vincent returned to the inn feeling tired.

He then noticed that Tara hasn\'t returned yet. Before he lay on his bed, he made a silent prayer hoping that she won\'t get captured by the Count and escape successfully.

Naturally, he knows that Tara was the one who caused trouble in the Count\'s Villa since they talked about it last night.

\'She\'s probably in the underground tunnel now… I hope that she\'ll get the Celestial Weapon successfully.\'

After thinking of this, Vincent could no longer keep his mind awake and he fall asleep.

***

However, it seems that the matter wasn\'t that simple as Tara didn\'t return even after a week.

Nevertheless, Vincent wasn\'t too concerned about this since he knows that this matter is out of his hands.

He just continued in his grind with his daily appraisal, enhancement, and ascension.

After the second week, however, he finally got the result he wanted!

[ Appraisal has been successful. ]

[ You have discovered a Broken Specter Dagger. ]

This is just a normal appraisal notification so Vincent didn\'t react to it. But what followed it gave him a huge surprise!

[ Congratulations! Appraisal Skill has been upgraded into an Advanced State.]
