Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Number 778 introduced everyone as Vincent learned that aside from Number 18, they also recruited two more Numbered Celestials.

They are Numbers 105 and 115!

These two were also wearing identical armor so they were perhaps together before they were recruited by Number 778's team.

"Impressive… How did you guys recruit them?" Vincent could no longer wait as he curiously asked. They are certainly better recruiters than Luna and Rem!

"Huh? We killed their Contractors as you've instructed…" Number 778 replied matter of factly.

"Aahhh…" Vincent gave an awkward smile after hearing her answer. He indeed told them to do that as he was desperate to have more Celestials in his city.

After all, he clearly knows that contracted Mana Practitioners wouldn't give up their Celestials as it is something that can protect their lives. He also learned how effective this method was from Joran.

Nevertheless, it is still quite surprising that they managed to do that considering they were on the weaker side based on their ranking.

"You guys are skilled…" Vincent muttered. He wasn't sure how they did it but without certain skills, they would probably fail to recruit Celestials that were higher ranked than them.

"Hmm? The three of us specialize in assassination techniques... Did you not know?" Number 778 asked as she looked at Vincent. She realized that this young man wasn't aware of their special abilities.

'How would I know that?!' Vincent replied in his mind as he didn't expect that these three were so reliable.

"Great! If you're that skilled I guess I should make a special division for you…" Vincent replied.

"Oh… A division made up of assassins… I didn't think that my disciple would be this decisive." Ignacy said on the side as he realized that Vincent didn't even take that much time to consider making a new division.

It means that he has already been thinking about it and decided to implement it immediately as soon as he heard about the skills of the three Celestials.

"Ahhh… I think that it was necessary to use their skills efficiently. Ehem, I'm planning to have a chat with the new Celestials in my residence… Master, do you have other plans?" Vincent asked.

"Yes, I'm planning to visit Lola in her city today… It's been a while since I met her. You also mentioned that they opened a trade route with the Sea Race… I want to see it myself."

Ignacy replied after thinking for a moment.

"I understand… Right, if you don't mind… Please give this to Senior Sister, Master. She previously requested a potion. I'm planning to give it to her once she visited me again but it seems that it's difficult for her to leave the city these days."

Vincent said as he handed over a vial of potion. It seems like it contains caramel in it but it's a peak-grade potion that not many people could easily see.

Ignacy was shocked to see a top-quality potion that Vincent just pulled out carelessly. Although he hadn't appraised the potion yet, he knows that it was definitely a high-grade or even a peak-grade potion!

As soon as he received the potion, he felt that he had already seen this before as he swiftly appraised it and confirmed that it was a Peak-Grade…

Its name and other details weren't shown in his appraisal…

Since it's a peak grade, it would take him quite some time to fully appraise it since unlike Vincent, he doesn't have a system that can help him to inspect items so easily. He didn't continue with his appraisal and asked Vincent.

"It feels very familiar… Ahhh. Is this the Unending Blossoms?" Ignacy suddenly recalled.

"Yes, Master… I think that Senior Sister found a partner…" Vincent muttered softly as he saw Ignacy keep the potion inside his robe's inner pocket.

"I see… She wanted to keep her youth, huh… That wasn't surprising. Do you know her real age?" Ignacy suddenly asked.

Vincent just shook his head after hearing this. Although he didn't ask Lola, he knows that someone who had so much knowledge, especially in Formation Arts, wouldn't be so young.

This is one of the most difficult professions as a Mana Practitioner after all. A few decades of study wouldn't be enough to be an expert in it…

"Haha… Then I guess it wouldn't do well if I tell you. Alright, go ahead and finish your business with the Celestials. I will be moving as well. If you have questions about the blueprint, just use the communication crystal."

"Yes, Master."

Vincent replied with an awkward smile as he left with the new Celestials brought by Number 778's team…

As for Luna and Rem, he decided to keep them by his side and let the others return to their position.

Inside his residence, he discussed a few things with the Celestials and confirmed that he will provide them with potions…

Because of the nature of his potion production, he couldn't help but reveal his "gift" that allows him to modify potions. They were instantly relieved by this since they were actually worried that Vincent had taken too many Celestials and he won't be able to support the newer ones.

After this, the contract process came smoothly as they swore their loyalty to Vincent…

Just like what he did before with the new recruits, he asked them about their understanding of the current situation of the continent. He also asked them whether they met other aliens like demihumans, Xonid Creatures, and others…

He also asked them about their impression of the Overseer.

This discussion took almost two hours since he knows how important it is to have information…

"Lastly, may I know if anyone of you encountered the Magic God's Avatar?" Vincent asked.

Although he already has a rough idea about the strength of the Avatar through Ignacy's recollection of the event when he was attacked in the First Tower, learning more of it from a different person's perspective is not a bad idea.

"I've fought against one of them once…" Suddenly, Number 18 answered surprising even Number 778 who had recruited her.
