Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"Wait—Let me make it clear. I wasn't worried about you. I just felt that it was a pity to modify the potion like what you did there. It's a good thing that Master's potion is incredible as always…" Dianne tried to explain.

"Right, right…" Vincent said as he started wearing his robe and lead her inside the main hall.

Since Star Garden Peak's matter is quite sensitive, Vincent decided to only speak with her about it.

He knows that Faviona was actually bound by a secrecy pact after visiting that organization. If he wasn't mistaken, the Tier 5 Pill that she made there wasn't her recipe but from the Star Garden Peak. This is why she had to travel there in the first place.

It was to ensure that the recipe would not be leaked elsewhere.

As for Dianne, she's not necessarily bounded by the pact since she's most likely uninvolved with the creation of the pill itself.

At the very least, he should be able to know a little information about this organization from her.

"Why are you so interested in Star Garden Peak? I noticed it a while ago… You seem very agitated after hearing about them—Hey, where are you going?"

"Ahh… Don't mind me… My vision is still blurred. I didn't get my eyesight back completely so I was just trying to adjust. Hmmm. Is it better to just close my eyes? I'm not used to blurred vision yet."

The last part was muttered softly as he was indeed having a hard time adjusting.

"Well, my master said that it won't fully heal you as well. It's a good thing that you could already see a little. Anyway, can you tell me who did this to you? It's a very strong seal. Not even a Grandmaster Alchemist can solve it… Isn't that weird?"

Vincent smiled as he answered.

"To be honest, I have no idea who did this… I want to know that as well."

Well, he's really not aware of the goddess' name. It wasn't his priority so he forgot to ask about that.

"Ugh… Whatever… Then what would you like to know about the Star Garden Peak?" Dianne asked.

"Anything that could be considered unusual to us. Anything that is not freely available to the public." Vincent said seriously.

Dianne thought for a moment before answering…

"First of all, the rumors about them living on a floating island are not true. The Sacred Garden Peak's Central Zone may be thousands of feet above the ground but it's definitely not floating in the sky and their members couldn't fly as well."

Vincent nodded as there were indeed rumors that the Star Garden Peak are descendants of a flying Demihuman Race. Of course, Vincent did not immediately believe that as it was stated in the Knowledge Base Crystal itself that they were all unproven statements from various people who previously had interactions with the said organization.

"How high it is then?"

"Hmm… We were able to see a cloud below us… That plateau is incredibly high. You'd better bring your Vermilion Hawk if you have the chance of visiting that place. Well, it would be impossible to get to their Central Zone without their invitation."

"I see… Is that all?"

Dianne shook her head.

"I've met two Celestial Beings there… They were numbered. I'm not sure what ranks are they but they were incredibly powerful. But… It's weird… We've been there for many days but every time I see them, they were always heavily injured. It was as if they were in a constant battle for some reason."

"Huh? Maybe they're not as strong as you thought they were?"

"Hmph… I can't be mistaken, even Master Faviona confirmed that those two were stronger than the Numbered Celestials of the Alchemist Union… Ugh! Am I even allowed to say this?" Dianne started hesitating after blurting out a bit of the Union's secret.

"Oh~ Then maybe they were just sparring or something?" Vincent said although he was doubtful himself. First of all, he hadn't seen Tara and Rem spar at each other. Furthermore, if they were both Numbered, wouldn't they know who's stronger just by looking at the number?

Was it not a constant thing?

"No… I've seen many kinds of injuries after following Master Faviona. I know that those weren't from sparring… They were lethal attacks and they were both barely able to survive. It wasn't as simple as that."

Dianne explained.

"Hmmm… I'll take note of it. It's not easy to meet a Celestial Being, were you able to at least get their names?" Vincent asked not really hoping that she would know.

"Yes… I heard them being called Claire and Teresa… I just don't know which is which."

"I see… I'll remember their names."

The two continued chatting as Dianne shared her experience within the organization's territory. It seems that the members of the Star Garden Peak are all well-disciplined and strong Arcanists… However, Dianne couldn't help but comment that they were more like a cult that is hiding their fangs.

She feels that this organization has too many secrets.

Apparently, she found several buildings that don't make sense to her.

After describing these buildings, Vincent visualized them as Observatories used to monitor or study any astronomical phenomena.

'I might have to visit that place someday…' Vincent concluded as he decided to finally take a rest.

In the meantime, Dianne returned to her room after being guided by Trisha… The former immediately contacted her master to report Vincent's successful consumption of the potion.

Of course, she didn't forget to report about his modifications in her potion…

"Master… Make sure not to accept any request from him again… He was just trying to ruin your perfect potion." Dianne said to her master who was on the other side of the communication crystal.

"Haa~ You're still like that, Dianne… Do you think it's really that simple to modify a High-Grade Potion? Furthermore, you said that he was briefly covered by a golden light, right? That shouldn't happen at all… There is no ingredient in that potion that would trigger that kind of light…" Faviona answered as she pondered about the phenomena that have occurred…

At this point, it seems that she really had no other choice but to accept that Vincent has a mysterious method of enhancing the potion.

'Hmmm… Is this related to Turhan's student?' Faviona mused as she decided to end her conversation with Dianne… She needed to contact Professor Turhan as quickly as possible.
