BXBX NOVEL Chapter 377 Recruitment
"Evacuate? Where are we going to hide? In the dungeons?" Vincent scowled. There was no way he would evacuate now.
Furthermore, he no longer feels safe entering a dungeon. It is all because of how he learned that the Overseer is capable of destroying the entrance to the dungeon.
What would happen if the portal was destroyed while people are still inside the dungeon?
Vincent didn\'t want to test it at all. Although the Overseer wouldn\'t probably do it randomly, the fact that the entrance can still be destroyed makes him a bit nervous.
"Haa… I also don\'t want to evacuate… A while ago, a messenger from the Sea Race has come to us. It\'s capable of human speech and offered some deal to us… We are about to obtain some treasures from the sea?! I don\'t want to miss that opportunity!" Lola said with enthusiasm…
It seems that they have gained a good business partner.
"Hmm… We can\'t accept that… In any case, we should still have some time to strengthen our forces… I just hope that my recruitment process would be effective this time." Vincent softly muttered the last part.
"Alright… I will tell Master…"
"Right, how were you able to contact him?" Vincent suddenly asked recalling how he couldn\'t find a way to know his Master\'s situation.
"Hmm? I gave him a crystal that can connect to my Messenger Artifact. It\'s very useful since I can easily request something from him… Hehe… You should also give him something, you know?"
"Aaahh… That\'s true." Vincent then realized that he was only receiving things from his master. Although Ignacy wasn\'t asking anything from him, he should have still given something in return.
Anyway, he can think about it later.
The news of Ignacy\'s condition started spreading in the continent. After all, the Tower Lord isn\'t just a normal title that anyone can have.
Furthermore, Ignacy has connections to other large neighboring organizations and if he decided to rally them to defeat the new organization, he will certainly gather a lot of strong Magicians with his cause.
It will become a huge war that would affect the balance of power in the continent.
\'However… I think that Master Ignacy isn\'t in a good position… He was already defeated once. He\'s also acting so defensive right now? Can he really not win?\' Vincent mused as he noticed a few things from Ignacy\'s message.
\'No… If he was truly afraid of facing the Black Magic Organization, he wouldn\'t show traces of himself being alive and just hide forever, never to be seen again. However, he didn\'t do that and decided to gather a few Tower Masters… Perhaps, there is still a chance? Did he find a way to deal with the magic god\'s avatar?\'
Vincent thought as he couldn\'t help but be concerned about the balance of power in this land…
"Oh… I forgot to mention that the third and fourth disciples are already returning… They will be visiting your Vera City first since they haven\'t met you yet… They\'re really interested in you so make sure to make them stay for a while… Those two are really strong. Stronger than any Aura Knights and Grand Magus that you\'ve ever seen…"
"Hmm? Are they both Grand Magus and Aura Knight? I didn\'t know about that?"
Aside from the names of the others disciples, he only knows a rough idea about what they were doing right now.
The third disciple was supposedly at Solomon\'s Pillar expanding his knowledge while the fourth disciple was at the Martial Arts Alliance helping them hunt the members of the Demonic Cult.
"Yeah… The third disciple that was studying at Solomon\'s Pillar was one of the strongest Aura Knights before he decided to leave… As for the fourth disciple, he was a Penta-Caster and decided to learn martial arts and hunt the cult members with his martial skills. Hahaha! Aren\'t they weird?"
Vincent nodded as they were indeed quite eccentric disciples. As expected of Ignacy… He will really only choose disciples with unique traits.
"I should prepare to meet them then… Should I inform you when they arrived? Don\'t you miss them?"
"What? Miss them? That\'s funny… Those two don\'t like me at all. I guess you already know the reason. In any case, those two have one common thing… They were extremely curious… They will surely like your place since there are many exotic things there."
"Ugh… They have been all around the continent. I think they have already seen more exotic things out there. I don\'t think they\'ll be interested in anything in my city… Well, aside from the River Dragon, of course." Vincent replied.
There aren\'t many remarkable things in Vera City like—
\'Hmmm?\'
As Vincent looked around his surroundings, he suddenly realized that Vera city itself is actually quite different from the other cities.
If he compares it to Nidite City, his city appears more vibrant and modern.
Well, it shouldn\'t be that surprising since he had used his knowledge from his past life to create the city. He recalled Lola\'s reaction when she first visited the city and she was certainly impressed and curious at that time.
\'I guess my senior disciples would have the same reaction, huh…\' Vincent smiled as he realized that the city itself can be an attraction for the others.
***
Meanwhile, about four hundred miles away from Vera City, a couple of Celestial Beings arrived at the Ghastly Mountain Range.
This place was known as a stronghold made by a few powerful Hunters.
The two Celestials observed the stronghold situated at the center of the mountain range for a while as if they were looking for something…
They were currently on top of a hill and they don\'t seem to be in a good mood.
"I didn\'t expect that finding our fellow celestial would be this difficult…" Luna weakly said as she focuses her gaze on the stronghold.
Several days had already passed and they still haven\'t recruited one.
"Maybe their contractor left for the Martial Arts Alliance or perhaps some other organization after learning about the messy situation here." Rem guessed.
"There\'s no way they have decided that fast… They would still wait until the conflict spread everywhere…"
"That might be true… Anyway, how is it this time, is there a Celestial in that place?" Rem asked.
Unlike Luna, she\'s only an unnumbered and her detection skills aren\'t that great. If the Celestial wasn\'t emitting her energy, it would be difficult for her to sense them unless she was close to them…
If they were within 10 meters, it doesn\'t matter if they hide their Celestial Energy, she would be able to tell if they are from the same race.
\'Hmm?\'
As Luna didn\'t answer, Rem looked at her curiously…
She then realized that Luna was actually smiling! It seems that they have finally found one!
