Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 293 Night



The news about the sudden disappearance of the five flying airships within the eastern border of the Black Tower Organization spread like a wildfire.

Numerous magicians, knights, hunters, and even journalists arrived at the scene to see what was left behind.

There, they saw the burnt corpses of the Barbarians and the wreckage of the two aircraft that would normally cost millions of mana crystals to make.

Many things can certainly be salvaged from this wreckage but no one was daring to touch it. It was simply because a group of Archons accompanied by a few Barbarians preserved the scene for later investigations.

"I demand an explanation from your Tower Lord! Are you looking down on us?!"

Not too far from the "crime scene", a group of five powerful Archons was having a discussion with five angry representatives of the Red Alliance. They are in a temporary camp surrounded by several guards.

It wasn\'t unexpected that the barbarians of the Red Alliance are fuming right now since not only thousands of them were killed silently, even the only heir of their current Alliance Leader was killed in this ambush.

Apparently, the young barbarian that was killed by Millie and Ceri was the next leader of the Red Alliance.

He had unfortunately perished and there was no way they would easily let this go easily.

Someone must pay an appropriate price!

"We understand your concern, Representative Praedr… We are also concerned about this incident as this breaches the security protocol of our organization. We wanted to know the culprit as well as you do. Right now, we have sent someone to bring the divination Magic Artifact to find out who\'s trying to tarnish our reputation…" Archon Florian said as he appealed to the raging barbarian.

"That\'s right, Representative. I think we are being falsely accused here. This might even be their plan in the first place. Perhaps they want us to fight each other and weaken our forces. We have to calm down. Let\'s just wait for the Divination Artifact to arrive…" Archon Cezary tried to explain in a calm manner.

He knows that confronting this barbarian with the same level of anger will just escalate the issue. He needed to

These two Archons were the ones who were previously planning to recruit Vincent to their faction. Currently, they were tasked by the Tower Lord to investigate what has happened here and ensure that if the culprit is actually a member of the Black Tower, they must not reveal this to anyone.

What the Tower Lord all cares about is the reputation of their organization. Anything that could tarnish his name must be erased.

\'Should we just blame the Martial Art Alliance?\' Florian thought as he didn\'t really want to investigate this matter. In any case, he believes that nothing will happen if they blamed the Martial Arts Alliance for this incident.

The two organizations weren\'t ready to escalate this matter into war… Perhaps, the Red Alliance would send some barbarians to intimidate the Martial Arts Alliance to give up the culprit but that would be it…

"Fine! Let\'s wait for that divination artifact… But we will also investigate in our own way so tell your men not to touch anything on the site." Praedr said as he could only compromise.

Although he really wanted to start a war because of this incident, he knows that he can\'t decide on behalf of the Alliance Leader…

He was sent here because he\'s one of the most reasonable members of the Barbarian Race. He must prove what he\'s capable of and try to resolve this matter by getting the most out of this situation.

\'Should I ask them to give us the five thousand slaves instead as compensation? No, it should be ten thousand. There should be over twenty million people within their territory. Ten thousand lives shouldn\'t matter to them that much.\' Praedr thought as he was already considering what he would offer at the negotiation table…

The aftermath of this incident no longer mattered to Vincent.

Currently, in the northern lands, a huge city owned by the Tower Lord\'s Second Disciple is currently bustling with activity. With the sudden addition of about four thousand people, Lola has become too busy helping everyone settle down…

Her Nidite City only has about 10 thousand people after all.

The sudden increase was just too much for her administrators to handle so she has to assist as much as she can.

Luckily, she had already ordered them to prepare for this event and made some preparations.

"Hey, Vincent! Go and tell Master Ignacy that you want to get your land already… Take these people with you… Since you\'re all from the Tudor Kingdom as you said, it should be a lot easier for them." Lola said as she exhaustedly seated on her couch.

She actually didn\'t mind having them all here as well but he was also considering Vincent\'s feelings.

The two of them are currently at the Municipal Hall of the city. This is also where Vincent and his group are staying at the moment.

"It\'s not that easy… Although I have plenty of money right now, I realized that I still need to save more."

"So you\'re also having an issue with money, huh."

\'Well, not as much as you do…\' Vincent thought as he was considering selling some of his Pseudo-Legendary Items…

However, he immediately shook his head. Pseudo-Legendary Items are too precious and if they got into the wrong hands, chaos might happen.

He might only consider selling them if it\'s an emergency or it would bring him more benefits, like trading them with precious items that he needed.

As of now, he might have the money to purchase land but not to build something out of it… He needed more money!

\'I should collect more Epic Items I guess… Ah, there is also another option.\'

"You\'ve mentioned that the place you\'ve suggested has a gold mine, right? Do you think I\'ll get permission to mine it if I purchase the land?" Vincent asked with renewed excitement.

"Yes! You just have to kill the Magic Beasts living there. That\'s a difficult task since they are Flying Beasts. Even a Grand Magus would be helpless if they don\'t have enough skills to hunt flying creatures. Do you want my help? I\'m pretty sure mind attacks don\'t work against those magic beasts…"

"It\'s alright… I will handle it. I\'ll speak with the tower lord as quickly as possible to get permission." Vincent said as he planned to leave the Nidite City…

"Ah! Before that, can you tell why this city is called Nidite?" Vincent asked as he was curious about his senior\'s naming sense. Furthermore, he\'s planning to create a territory as well so he must consider getting better at naming things.

"Eh? You don\'t know her? Are you serious? She\'s the Goddess of Night!"
