Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Millie curiously observed it but didn't think too much of it. It might be some kind of rare artifact or ore they are planning to melt to create various things or weapons.

However, after just a few minutes, Vincent came running to where the airship was.

He brought Krusk with him as Tara and Rem followed shortly after…

"This… Is this real?" Vincent asked in disbelief. It was as if he had seen a Legendary Item.

Millie just remained silent as she doesn't know what was going on. It was the same for Ceri who can't tell what was happening.

Soon, Yasin and Vel arrived and explained the origin of the metallic capsule.

They seem to have obtained it from a group of merchants. They were in a caravan and planning to transport this item to the nearby 6th Tower.

However, they were stopped from entering the Tower because one of them was actually affected by the Black Decay… They were planning to return to their place and this was the time Yasin noticed them.

Of course, their group wasn't afraid of Black Decay since Krusk has his own method to protect them from any type of disease…

They bought a few items from them and found the capsule being sold for a low price.

p Krusk actually felt something from it and instructed Yasin to purchase it at all costs.

Vincent took a deep breath as he nervously touched the capsule.

[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]

"Yes…"

Vincent answered loudly and everyone heard it. Nevertheless, he didn't care about it and excitedly inspected the result of the appraisal.

Ding!

[ Appraisal has been successful. ]

[ You have discovered a Cryogenic Chamber. ]

[ Origin Form: Cryogenic Sleep Chamber ]

[ Quality: Legendary

Number of Enhancements: 10/10

Durability: 995/1,000

Description: A Cryogenic Sleep Chamber that is almost in perfect condition. The world's mana is supplying it with energy to preserve the being inside.

Remarks: Fully Enhanced Object. There will be no Enhancement results if Enhancement Skill was used. ]

"It's real!" Vincent couldn't help but exclaim.

There were a few scratches from the capsule and seemed to be clawed by some feline creature but it was still in very good condition.

He looked at Rem and Tara who were also rarely smiling as they could tell that this is a genuine chamber from a glance.

Now, the only concern is whether this capsule contains another Xonid Creature.

Nevertheless, he didn't forget to thank Krusk and the others for getting this capsule. He's unsure how much they paid for it but it doesn't matter.

He will certainly reward them.

After all, even if inside the capsule is a creature they needed to kill, the Source Cube will still be there.

"Vincent… Is this something really important?" Ceri decided to ask as she can no longer contain her curiosity.

"Yes… It's related to the Celestial Beings." Vincent answered with a smile. He doesn't know where to start explaining this thing so he made it simple.

"Really? Is this the source of Platinum Coins?" Millie tried to guess.

"Ahh… No. It's different. There might be a pleasant surprise inside this thing but there is also a chance that there's a danger waiting for us. I'm not sure yet but we'll see…"

Vincent paused as he softly mumbled his thoughts… "Hmm... We should probably strengthen the estate's formation art… No, perhaps I can borrow Professor Levent's dungeon for a while…"

He has to consider the possible danger of opening this capsule after all. It is a good thing if they meet a normal Celestial Being inside, however, it would be a huge problem if they met a strong alien instead.

The Xonid Creature before was quite tricky to deal with after all.

He doesn't have that much knowledge about the creatures living in space or enemies of the Celestial Race but they are certainly very strong considering the fact that they are targeting the Celestial Beings.

After pondering for a while, he decided to postpone this matter until the production regarding their business has been taken care of.

In the next three weeks, the Stellar Residence became very busy…

It came to the point that Severin need more hands in the laboratory so the few others who weren't that busy had to come and help his team. Although his team was already used to their work and had gone a lot faster, the spread of the disease had also picked up its pace.

Currently, the total number of affected Tower was twenty… It's now more than half of the erected Black Towers!

Many people already suspected that the spread is being done deliberately, the first suspects were obviously the Barbarians since their Warlocks seems to be capable of creating this curse.

However, after the incident in the First Tower, there is no longer any news regarding the appearance of other Barbarians in other Towers.

It means that they shouldn't have that chance to spread it…

Furthermore, they have already set up a tight lockdown when 6 Towers have been affected before. It means that the spread should've gone slower… but nothing happened. If not for the hundreds or thousands of Fairer Potions from Vincent, the casualty in their territory would have probably increased by more than 50%.s

Right now, the top officials are already thinking that there were humans that are helping the barbarians to spread this disease…

Florian, one of the oldest Archons in the Black Tower, even suggested that this is done by fellow humans in the first place and not by the Barbarians.

He had guessed that there is a human organization that planned this all out. In his theory, even the arrival of Barbarians who used the Curse of Black Decay on them was actually a part of their plan to hide the real mastermind.

This way, their thoughts will be focused on finding Barbarians instead of humans who are sabotaging them in reality.

This theory wasn't well-received at first, as they believed that they do not have any human enemies that would bother doing this complicated matter.

However, after three more weeks had passed, news of riots started happening in many Towers affected by the plague…
