Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer-Chapter 190 Auction Preparation

Vincent wryly smiled after realizing this.

Well, he already heard from his grandfather and the town chief that they have tried everything they can do to open it up. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

It was indeed quite surprising that he managed to open the chamber by just pressing a few buttons… unless, Tara permitted him to open the Sleep Chamber.

Then, that would completely make sense.

"I know a method to force it open. But it could be very dangerous in case the one inside is not friendly… Who knows, it might even be a Celestial Beast—I mean, Demihuman, inside."

Rem added. The name Celestial Beast or Demihuman wasn't given by them after all… So whatever Vincent calls them, Rem and Tara would refer them with such.

"It's possible that a Demihuman was there?" Vincent asked in shock.

"Yes… There is a chance. If you're willing to take a risk, I can teach you a way to open it." Rem answered.

Vincent thought for a moment before he agreed. Anyway, Professor Levent has already made preparations just in case what's inside is something ominous.

"Tell me… I will try to open it after the auction…"

"Very well…"

Rem then passed the other method to open the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber. It was surprisingly easy for Vincent…

"I only have to attack it using my Celestial Weapon?"

"Yes… Once you did that, the one inside will be informed of the attack you made. Not any attack can trigger that effect. It must come from a weapon comparable to the chamber itself."

Vincent nodded repeatedly as he made sure to remember this. His Astral Night Dagger can indeed be considered comparable to the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

On the next day, Tara returned with several stones that seems like Beast Cores in her bag.

She had basically mapped out the surrounding area, especially the desolate plains in front of their estate. It was about 400 meters away from the Tower's area of protection.

To everyone's surprise, she had discovered that a specific type of Savage Beasts is living there. It was a type of rock worm and Vincent guessed that it was most likely a worm golem… No wonder there wasn't anyone going around that area.

'Hmm… Is it really a golem?' Vincent mused.

As far as he knows, golems only appear in dungeons so he doubted it at first.

'I was told that there's no dungeon nearby…'

"Tara, can I take the beast cores? I have already made a set of potions you can drink. They're all at the table." Vincent said.

"Take it…" Tara said as she handed over her bag and took the five +9 potions from Vincent.

Without any more words, Vincent appraised the cores of the worms that Tara had taken from them.

[ Earth Energy Stone ]

[ Quality: Uncommon

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 8/8

Earth: 20

Description: A special stone that can increase the Earth Attribute of any suitable Magic Artifact. Depending on the targeted Artifacts, it can either strengthen or weaken their Earth Resistance or Earth-Related Ability. This stone contains important nutrients that Magic Beasts needed.

Remarks: Earth Attribute found. Every enhancement will increase the attributes of the item. ]

"Huh?"

Vincent was confused. This appraisal result seems very familiar to him.

'Right… It's somehow similar to the items traded by the Red Alliance… I thought this was something that can only be mined in certain areas. How come it appeared here?'

Indeed, Vincent had previously appraised hundreds of elemental stones. It's an item used by Magic Craftsmen to put an attribute on their creations.

It was similar to the items in his inventory. The Critical Stones, Pierce Stones, and Sharpness Stone.

They were items that can be used to add the attribute of his selected item.

The only problem about this is that he hasn't activated the system feature to utilize them yet. As expected of his system, he was being rewarded with some things that will only be useful in the future like a teaser or some sort.

"I guess we can sell these things for money as well… There are over 50 of them here… Call Yasin here for me." Vincent ordered Calidia who has been observing them up until now.

Yasin isn't part of the experimental project of the tower but is one of the ten people who had also received help from Qheglena. He's a low-ranking member of the Hunter Organization and is loyal to Qheglena or Celestial Beings who has the same vision as her… a Celestial who protects the weak and abhors the evil.

Anyway, this man and the other nine were the eyes of Calidia's group when they can't move freely. Vincent approved of this as he decided to make them their informants that mainly focus on the movement of the Black Tower's Emblems.

With that in mind, they certainly have a trusted channel to sell these Earth Energy Stone so he decided to contact him.

***

Calidia left the estate and immediately used the signal they have previously arranged to call for Yasin…

She entered an old tavern with barely any customers and sat at a table for two people.

It didn't take long before a hooded man appeared and sat in front of her. Just like her, all the members of their group wore the same dark shawl on their bodies.

Calidia glanced at the man and confirmed that it was Yasin. Because of these hooded shawls that Vincent had distributed to them, she's been having a hard time recognizing people. She didn't have this problem before until Vincent showed them such a huge number of precious magic tools.

She grunted and was about to speak…

"Before you give me another mission. Please tell Sir Vincent that there would be some troublesome people who will be participating in the auction this time, a million Mana Crystals may not even be enough if he wanted to purchase the top 5 items to be sold."

Yasin said with his deep voice.

"Really? Who will be participating?" Calidia asked with interest.

However, Yasin didn't immediately answer as the drinks and snacks they ordered were brought by a waiter.

As soon as the waiter left, he replied.

"He probably wouldn't know these people since most of them are from very far Towers… Anyway, the most influential among them was the Tier 5 Alchemist. Her name is Faviona. She will be together with the 27th Tower's Chief Artificer named Damar… With those two people, Sir Vincent must at least prepare items comparable to Pseudo-Legendary rank. There might be a chance that the top 5 items would request a trade of similar level instead of mana crystals."
