Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 320 Treasures

"Natural treasures?" Vincent's eyes lit up after hearing this. Although he has blurred vision, the excitement could not be hidden in his eyes.

As someone who had studied in Arcane Mysteries Class for about two months, he had learned a lot of things about these treasures…

Although they are treasures that can be found in the dungeons as well, the chance isn't that high.

Normally, these treasures were those that can be found outside nurtured by the environment… They could be special stones, heavenly fruits, divine plants, or any objects that have evolved thanks to their environment or exposure to mana. They were similar to some alchemy ingredients but also different.

He hadn't thought that he would encounter these precious things in just a few hours after arriving in this land. Having three Celestial Beings truly made things a lot easier for him.

"Can I see them now?" Vincent asked.

"Of course…"

Tara smiled as she showed the Obsidian Treasure Box to Vincent.

Since he's already using the Interspatial Ring he bought from the Auction, this treasure box that has dimensional pocket space as well was no longer being used.

He decided to lend it to anyone who would need it just like today. He thought that it would be inappropriate for these Celestials to drag the Magic Beasts they've killed so he gave it to Tara…

As Vincent was thinking of checking them, the noise of the airships interrupted him as he decided to just open it later tonight…

He still has a lot of things to do although he already assigned his people their jobs… Currently, they've hired over 300 workers that will help them build the settlement. Furthermore, they weren't normal workers as they were all Mana Practitioners, or at least, they have gained their Mana Baptism.

In addition, about 40 of them were decent magicians who had mastery over Earth Elements. This would make their jobs a lot easier.

"Sir Vincent, according to the map, we will make the temporary shelters near the western lake… Is it already cleared of savage beasts?"

Krishan, one of the engineers they hired, approached Vincent. As soon as he came out of the airship, he immediately surveyed the surroundings and confirmed that it is quite similar to the estimation Vincent had given them…

He's someone who had also worked in the creation of the Alchemist Union's territory so Vincent knows that he could trust this person to help him build the territory he wanted.

As long Krishan follows his city plan, Vincent knows that his land will be very beautiful and modern compared to the current city structures of this date and time. Well, he must also thank Luna for her input on his plan regarding this.

​ "Yes… They were taken care of by the Celestials… There shouldn't be any problem… In any case, you will bring the cloaked kid with you. He would be able to help if there is any unexpected trouble regarding the beasts that they might've missed." Vincent said.

After all, the Celestials have a different interpretation of strong beasts that must be eliminated. Although Vincent already informed the three about his concern, he can't just be blindly confident about it.

Once he sent Krusk with the workers, any hiding beasts would certainly run away from him. Furthermore, Krusk is a River Dragon so Vincent thought that he might want to be in the water…

Of course, this was just his own thoughts, and he didn't ask Krusk about it.

"That kid? I indeed noticed him… Is he a special being?" Krishan tried to replace an answer since he couldn't pierce through the cloak Krusk was wearing…

Vincent didn't answer this question and he just smiled in return.

Krishan realized that he was overstepping his bounds so he immediately apologized before leaving with his team to build the shelter.

In any case, Vincent is the Seventh Disciple of the Tower Lord so he should be able to trust his words.

***

The next eight hours passed quickly as the temporary shelters were made and the outer fence they were planning to create was already marked and started by another group of workers.

Everything is going smoothly since this has been planned for quite a long time already.

Vincent entered the camp he was assigned and found a bed to take a rest… He just finished taking a bath and felt quite sleepy. However, he still wanted to check the treasures that the Celestials had found so he immediately sat up and opened the Obsidian Treasure Box…

Aside from the bodies of the five Magic Beasts they killed, Vincent sensed the various treasures inside.

"Eh? Wait… There are five of them?" Vincent was shocked.

He tried to recall if Tara mentioned about this but he couldn't remember. He didn't ask as well since he thought that there wouldn't be a mistake in their intelligence report.

'Sigh~ It's really dangerous to blindly trust the reports, huh…' Vincent thought as he pulled the treasures out of the box.

Nevertheless, after thinking about it, he realized that this isn't an impossible thing to happen considering the size of this area.

Although there were only three 'active' Magic Beasts around, it doesn't necessarily mean that there were no other Magic Beasts living in their territory.

As soon as all the natural treasures appeared in front of him, a sudden surge of suffocating mana surrounded him…

'W-what?!'

Vincent was alarmed as he immediately used his Mana Drain to calm the dangerous wave of mana that is forming around him…

His heart beat faster as he knows that it could be very dangerous if he did not do anything about it.

Thud! Thud!

Two people immediately entered his room as soon as this happened.

"Tara, Rem… Everything is alright…" Vincent immediately said as he waved his hand to the two. It took him quite a while to drain the mana around him as he heaved a sigh of relief…

"Are you sure? You look pale?" Rem asked after seeing Vincent's complexion… Normally, after Vincent uses his Mana Drain, he would feel refreshed instead of stressed out.

"Well, I was too careless just now. I almost triggered a Mana Calamity… Luckily, my Mana Drain is already at an Advanced level." Vincent answered with a helpless smile on his face.

Mana Calamity is one of the things he learned in the Arcane Mysteries Class. It can't be easily triggered unless Vincent had pulled out an item that will exceed the Legendary Rank!
