Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Azer also recognized Vincent together with the other two beautiful servants following him. Although the previous veiled lady and the middle-aged man was nowhere to be seen, Azer can still remember this group.

However, what he didn't expect is that Vincent is now wearing a Blue Emblem! He previously, thought that Vincent and his group were just normal wealthy travelers and planning to enjoy the tourist attractions within the city.

"It's you… Hero Azer." Vincent called out to him as the man was stunned speechless.

'Pft..'

His subordinates behind did their best to stop chuckling as they realized that Vincent is not a complete stranger at all.

"Ehem… So we meet again. Are you planning to harvest the Dispelling Death Flower as well?" Azer asked.

"Well, we already harvested them. If you don't have Magic Cores… You have to wait for a while." Azer's female subordinate who is wearing worn-out leather armor spoke.

"It's fine. We're not here for the flower. In any case, is it true that the flower can cure the people affected by the plague?"

"That's correct. This is our second harvest since we're lacking Magic Cores before. Right, I can see that you're a Blue Emblem now, Sir. Do you know any Tier 5 Alchemist who specializes in healing medicine that could take a look at the situation within the 22nd and 24th Tower cities?"

Azer suddenly asked which surprised Vincent.

"Hmm? You're telling me that there's no Tier 5 Alchemist in those towers?" Vincent asked in shock.

"Err… Tier 5 Alchemists specializing in medicine weren't easy to find, Sir. Even in the alchemist union, there is only a handful of them."

Vincent finally realized how important his connection with Faviona…

"I'll consider it. By the way, you can just call me Vincent, Hero Azer. I'll head inside now." Vincent said as he looked at Tadeus.

"Thank you, Sir Vincent. I hope that we'll meet again." Azer said as he left with his team.

Their group wasn't part of the Black Tower but they could enter the dungeon after making some payment aside from getting a clearance from the tower. Well, the clearance is the most important since the Tower needed to ensure that no criminals could enter and hide within the mysterious dungeons.

Tadeus then guided Vincent and the other two to the tree gate as he informed Vincent what to expect inside.

After a few moments, three figures vanished from the tree gate. Tadeus finally sighed in relief as he looked at his subordinates.

"Guard the aircraft properly! Your yearly salary is not enough to cover a scratch on that!" Tadeus exaggerated but his men understood what he was trying to say as they immediately assigned someone to ensure the Vermillion Hawk's safety.

"How is it Tara, Rem?" Vincent asked after entering the dungeon.

The dungeon this time is like a huge tunnel with brick walls and tall ceilings. They are currently standing on a huge platform surrounded by large tree roots. The light inside is coming from a luminescent stone that is sticking out of the walls and ceilings…

It is quite a unique dungeon for Vincent.

He then glanced at the platform they were standing on.

Just like what he expected, the bottom of the platform is somehow a source of water. From here, a silent stream of water was formed heading to the three different paths ahead.

Well, this is the reason why this dungeon was called Silent Creek.

"Hmm… I can feel three sources of unique energy at the end of each path." Tara replied.

Rem, on the other hand, needed some time before she spoke. "The left path has ice energy on it. I don't think it's the place you're looking for, Vincent."

While Tara can sense all types of energies from a very wide range, Rem could sense the Ice Element as this is the element she had fully mastered.

"That's probably the oil… Tara, which path has the strongest energy fluctuation?" Vincent asked.

"Hmm… That would be at the center. I can sense that there is still a group ahead though."

"I see. In any case, they should only be focusing on harvesting those flowers. We're not aiming for that."

"Alright. I'll lead the way." Tara said as they decided to take the middle path. Currently, Tara and Rem are wearing normal adventurer clothes instead of their dress. It is to make them appear like warriors or dungeon explorers serving him. This isn't just because Vincent wanted to hide their beauty but another way to surprise their enemies.

Furthermore, even if they both have Celestial Weapons and Armors, Vincent decided to provide them with decent weapons and leather armor to complete their disguise.

'I hope they won't be arguing with us if we met them…' Vincent thought as he followed Tara's footsteps.

Vincent didn't just select this dungeon randomly. Aside from knowing that this place shouldn't be visited a lot, he also knows the three incredible items that can be harvested here if you're lucky. Although there were occasional Magic Artifacts found, only eight of them were recorded so finding artifacts here is close to impossible.

Anyway, the Dispelling Death Flower, which only found its purpose now, is not included in those three.

The first one is the Fine Burr that only Magic Craftsman can use. The other is the Cold Cryptic Oil which can be used in various things especially for maintaining steel weapons.

Lastly, there is a mysterious item here called the River Dragon Scale!

That's right, it is a scale of a Mythical Beast!

Many people assumed that there is a corpse of a River Dragon inside the dungeon but after several decades of explorations, no hidden path was found or any other signs of a River Dragon aside from its scale.

In total, over a hundred River Dragon Scales the size of an adult's palm, were found inside this dungeon during the past few decades. People then assumed that the scale was only brought here by someone and there really was no corpse inside. Or perhaps, the body has already turned into ashes leaving the scales washed away by the stream of water.

With such information, Vincent couldn't help but be curious and explore this place. Especially after knowing that Tara has a unique ability that can help him during exploration, he knows that this exploration might bring him some surprise.

Soon they arrived at the cavern where a group of seven people can be seen resting.

The signs of battle can be seen around the place as one of them was even grilling some meat.

"Stop right there!"
