Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Vincent has six senior disciples and surprisingly, Ignacy only selected one female disciple. Furthermore, this disciple is the second disciple who has her own territory outside the 36 Black Towers!

'Two Celestial Beings… No wonder she was able to own and protect her land. Good, I should be able to do it as well.' Vincent felt glad after considering this.

He then took a deep breath as he decided to welcome his visitors.

"So it is Senior Lola Hamblin. Ever since Master Ignacy mentioned you, I've always wanted to visit your place and learn from it, Senior."

Vincent said as he did his best to flatter her. Based on what Ignacy mentioned, this lady is already ten years old than him and he has to be careful mentioning her height. It seems that she has an inferiority complex about this since she would always be mistaken as a kid.

Whoosh~ Whooosh~

The three visitors landed on the ground as Vincent realized that his senior sister is indeed smaller than him by a few inches. For someone, who's in his late twenties, to be smaller than a 15 or 16 years old kid, this is indeed quite saddening.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Senior Sister. Who are these people behind you?" Vincent asked casually.

"Hehehe… They're also Celestial Beings. I'm sure you're already aware. They're ranked 910 and 940. They were Numbered Celestials? Incredible… As expected of my senior sister. May I ask their names?"

"Huh? I already gave it to you. Just call them Nine-Ten and Nine-Forty."

"Oh…" Vincent was a bit stunned but he immediately composed himself. They have different values after all so he shouldn't be too surprised about this. In any case, he invited the three inside since it is quite chilly at night.

"Vincent… You have a small residence. I can tell you have a lot of people living here."

"Senior Sister Lola Hamblin, I'm actually planning to move to a different place. I might have to consider purchasing a larger estate or getting my own land outside. I'm planning to get support from Master Ignacy." Vincent replied.

"Hey, can you stop calling me by my full name? Just call me Senior Lola—No, call me Second Sister Lola…"

"I will… But who's my First Sister then?" Vincent curiously asked.

"Oh… My mistake, I killed the first female disciple of Master Ignacy so I became the only female disciple now. There's no First Sister… Just call me Sister Lola then."

Vincent was speechless after hearing this. He had no idea about this history at all. Not only Master Ignacy took revenge for his disciple, but he also accepted her killer as his disciple?!

Wouldn't Master Ignacy's reputation take a blow from that? No matter what, ending the life of your disciple should be a valid reason to exact vengeance, right?

He couldn't believe what he just heard. At the very least, if he ever had a disciple someday, he felt that there was no way he would accept the person who killed the disciple!

That was just too inappropriate!

"Hahaha! I can tell what you're thinking from your expression! Do not worry, I exaggerated. I didn't ambush and killed her to get this status. It is a proper battle presided by a couple of Grand Magus referees… We didn't even wager the status of being a disciple for that battle. It was just a competition to test our new Mana Arts. Unfortunately, I still couldn't control my Tier 4 Mana Art at that time and claimed her life in the accident. We're quite close with each other… Closer than my real siblings."

Lola explained with a smile but Vincent can tell that she was just trying to be strong.

"I understand. Second Sister… By the way, what brought you here this late at night?"

Vincent asked.

"Ugh! Let me rest first. I traveled for five days just to get here! The land I purchased is at the edge of the Black Tower's territory."

"Eh? Don't you have a flying vessel!"

"What? I need to power them with Energy Stones or Mana Crystals... I'm not using them unless important…" Lola answered as she fixed her blond hair tied in a ponytail.

From her answer, Vincent can tell that Lola doesn't seem to have very good living conditions in her territory. If this land owner can't afford the "fuel" for her vehicle, then it only means that her land is not earning a lot of money!

Vincent couldn't help but be curious about her situation. She has two Celestial Beings and huge land near the sea after all! She's also a strong Grand Magus so it's very difficult to imagine that she can't afford the energy stones and mana crystals!

Nevertheless, Vincent still decided to give her group some time to rest as he wasn't in a hurry.

He immediately arranged a guest room for the three with Yulia's help who had easily woken up after noticing the disturbance.

Vincent even briefly noticed her eyes glowing. It seems that she was cultivating her Darkness Mystic Eyes during the night.

Haaa~

Vincent sighed after returning to his room.

So many things happened today and he wanted to take a rest as well. However, before that, he confirmed that Krusk is in his room and that all the formation arts hiding his presence is activated.

"Rem, Tara… Make sure they won't notice Krusk's presence…" Vincent softly said to the two Celestial Beings close to his room.

"We'll take care of it. Just sleep well…" Rem guaranteed as Vincent heaved a sigh of relief before passing out.

"…"

After Rem and Tara confirmed that Vincent was finally asleep. They both left the residence and went to the rooftop to meet the two Celestials brought by Lola…

The two groups weren't hostile with each other but one will notice the awkwardness. It appears that Celestial Beings weren't socializing people after all.

Anyway, it was Rem who broke the silence…

"We have found clues about the existence of Qheglena…"
