Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent sighed in relief after hearing her voice. He has many questions with him but seeing her body recover is the most important thing right now.

"You're welcome… I'm sure you'll do the same if I'm in the same condition. Anyway, are you sure you're alright now? I can still head out to buy a few potions." He offered.

"That would be great… However, it would be much better if you can modify them. The potions that you've modified seem to contain a little bit of Celestial Power. Including the pill that you gave me… How are you doing it?"

Tara asked as she looked at Vincent with curiosity.

She has no knowledge of any alchemy capable of providing Celestial Powers to the Celestial Beings like her.

At first, she thought that it was just a coincidence but after thinking about it for a long, she realized that it was all thanks to Vincent's potion.

This is why she didn't hesitate to request one to recover her powers a moment ago.

"It's a trade secret… However, you can think of it as something similar to alchemy but no one aside from me can learn."

Vincent answered as he looked at Tara's chest for a moment before looking away.

"Ehem… You can get dressed now, I will be back in a while." Vincent said as he left Tara's room without waiting for her to answer.

Well, Tara has probably fought a crazy battle. This is why she ended up completely naked except for her armor that detached itself in the end.

Perhaps because he was too disgusted by her musculoskeletal body a while ago, he didn't feel that excited even after seeing her graceful figure.

After almost an hour, Vincent returned as he purchase as many potions as he can.

Right now he has 12 vials of Healing Potion and 20 vials of Mana Recovery Potion. Of course, he mentioned to Tara that her modification takes some time as he needed a lot of mana to do it.

In the meantime, he gave her 2 vials of Healing Potions +3 in case she still has some hidden injuries.

On the next day, Vincent focused on Enhancing his potions as he managed to put them all to a +7 state. Though he has to consume 3 Mana Recovery Potions in the process.

"Vincent, I have something to discuss with you." Tara said as she entered his room with her new sleeveless white dress.

With how she exposes her legs and shoulders, it would seem like she's not wearing her Celestial Armor but Vincent knows that it can actually retract to the size of an adult's fist.

He also looked at her long black hair that had completely spread out as it danced in the wind which looked extremely elegant.

Her beauty right now has made him completely forget her previous disastrous appearance.

It seems that after she almost lost her life, she had also obtained a fairy-like temperament.

"Is it an important matter? Let me just close the window."

Vincent said as he normally opens the window of his room for some fresh air.

"It's fine… I already placed a barrier. The wind may get in but our voices won't."

"I see…" Vincent said as he tried to detect this barrier only to fail in the end.

"I'm planning to leave this place since the other Celestial Being searching for this dagger is still alive at this point..." Tara said as she showed the black dagger to Vincent.

"Can she still detect its presence?"

"Yes… I managed to cast a seal on this but it's not permanent. It will be removed in three more days and I can't cast the seal again since this weapon will have its immunity by that time."

"Does it have sentience?" Vincent asked in surprise.

"Well, it has low-level sentience but that's not the reason. It's a Celestial Weapon's ability to evolve so using the same sealing technique won't work again."

Vincent took a deep breath after hearing this.

It seems that he really has a lot to learn from this woman.

"Is there a method to make it completely yours? I'm sure you're not planning to run away forever, right?" He asked.

"Hmm… So you noticed. I indeed have a plan but it takes a week or even months to completely subdue this weapon. Once I succeeded, I will be the only fated Celestial for this weapon."

"That's better. Anyway, I'm also planning to leave this city. If it's alright with you, let's leave together."

"Of course, I will follow you. I would like to consume more modified potions from you. In exchange, I will complete your requests if you have something in mind."

Vincent's eyes bulged after hearing this.

"Really?!"

"Yes."

"T-that's awesome! Let's work together then!"

Vincent then mentioned his plan to visit the Zemin Clan in the northern part of the kingdom. He also explained to her the current political situation of the kingdom as they chatted for more than an hour.

During his remaining time in this city, Vincent decided to purchase an expensive horse-drawn carriage and bought several items with him. They were mostly potions and talismans.

On the next day, Vincent returned to the Guardian Auction House and informed Therese about his plans.

As expected, she wasn't able to stop him from wanting to leave even with the contract, this is all because of what Maurice did.

"By the way, Manager Therese… When I visited the count's house, I was informed that you were previously a part of the Lucius Clan, is that true?"

Vincent asked calmly as he hid his emotions.

Therese suddenly froze as soon as she heard this question.

Instead of answering, Therese knitted her brows as she asked a question.

"Why do you want to know?"

Vincent paused for a moment as he tried to think how he would approach this… However, since he can't think of any, he decided to just be direct.

"Six years ago at Lourwood Valley… There was a small village called Arum Village. It was visited by three individuals connected to the Lucius Clan…"
