Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 397 Elena’s Night

Elena has been to various cities including the neighboring countries…

As far as she knows, the Black Tower Organization should have the most advanced or modern cities built because they are focusing on these types of development.

After all, the Airships, Communication Crystals, Artillery Guns, Advanced Medicines, and other magic technology were made by this organization. Their advancement in technology couldn't be doubted at all.

However, she realized today that Vincent's city isn't just a hastily built settlement with a poor foundation.

There are street lamps everywhere, the streets themselves are clean, the road is paved and the main road has enough space for six carriages to pass side by side. The buildings are all well built and she can feel the essence of water and electricity flowing into each structure…

'Wait…'

As soon as she realized this, she extended her senses and felt that there is an underground network of water that passes through everywhere in the city.

It is such an incredible method and every citizen will certainly benefit from this kind of efficient method of supplying water and energy.

She then entered a tavern to have some drinks… It has been a while since she drank alcohol so she was looking forward to this.

She checked her purse and confirmed that she has some money left and ordered a drink. The bartender realized that Elena is new here so he decided to strike up a conversation…

Elena liked this development since she wanted to gather information as well.

After talking to the bartender, she realized that there are many businesses open at night because of the working shifts…

Apparently, the three large factories within the city are operating 24 hours with three working shifts. These factories produce things related to tools of magic and even normal items like house furniture.

There is also a factory attempting to build a flying vessel which was said to be better than any other vessels built by the Black Tower.

"Isn't that supposed to be a secret project or something? How come a bartender like you knows about it?" Elena asked suspiciously.

"It's not a secret at all. If you go to the municipal building, there is a post there recruiting experts or someone who wanted to learn how to build these flying vessels. You can always visit that place if you want to look for a job. Hmm… Are you from Nidite City?"

It was now the time for the bartender to be suspicious of Elena. Of course, he wasn't too worried about her identity since he knows that their city has the best surveillance system for this kind of thing.

"I'm from a different city… Thank you for letting me know. Can you suggest a good place to visit in this city?" Elena indirectly answered.

"Hmmm… You can check the lake, you might see a dragon there… There is also the statue at Vera's Plaza. It's a meeting place for couples… This place is also quite fun… From time to time, there will be performers and even storytellers on stage. It wouldn't be in the middle of the night though…"

The bartender replied as he continued wiping a glass.

There are only six customers in the tavern so it wasn't busy at all. He didn't mind entertaining the lonely beautiful lady seated in front of him.

'Dragon?'

"Anyway, there's not many places I can visit, huh…"

"Well, there are many shops here selling interesting magic items. Especially, the Beacon Magic Shop managed by the City Lord himself. There is also a training ground that turns into an arena from time to time."

"Arena?"

"Yes… It's a known place where practitioners with the same level fight each other out for money or whatever deal they made."

"I see… I like that… Tell me where it is."

"Sure… But since it's already this late, you won't replace many people there."

"It's alright… I just want to release some stress…" Elena said as she felt really good right now.

Perhaps it's because she received some high-quality healing potions a while ago that her body is filled with energy.

She wanted to release some of her strong Mana Arts to exercise for a bit… The training ground is certainly the best place to do that.

She followed the bartender's instructions and soon found a huge training ground where she can see four airships parked around the corner.

She hesitated for a moment since she felt that this might be a restricted area. After all, she knows that those vessels aren't just for decoration. It appears that this place is also military ground.

However, as she was hesitating, a familiar figure came into her view.

"Vincent?"

Elena asked in surprise.

"It's me… Are you going to check the training grounds as well?"

"Ahh… Eh, yes! I also forgot to thank you for the potions you've given… I know that those are high-quality potions. I don't have much with me but once I sold a few of my magic tools collection, I can repay you."

"Oh… There's no need. Sir Thyrus already paid for all of you. After all, he dragged you here and wasn't able to protect you from the ambush."

Vincent said as he also knows that Thyrus should've taken responsibility for this young lady. She's not even an Archmage yet. She's only an Adept Mage with an extremely unique method of using Mana Arts.

Thyrus is aware of this so he was really sorry for putting Guven, Magnus, and Elena in danger…

They should've been sent to safety instead of keeping them beside the Tower Lord who can easily attract trouble.

"Ugh… Is that so… I can already take care of myself. I'll just pay him then… In any case, why are you going to the training ground this late? You're not following me, are you?"

"Haha… Does it seem like that? I just finished my job earlier so I came here... Look, I recently got a new weapon so I want to test it…" Vincent explained as he showed a Forging Hammer.

This hammer is supposedly just an Uncommon Item and wasn't anything special. He didn't plan to Ascend this item but something happened. It somehow received a decent new skill after a single use of the Transcendence Skill.

This skill was even an offensive ability so he decided to just fully ascend and enhance the item.

"Did you make this weapon? I didn't expect that you're interested in Hammer Artifacts… Should we have a duel then?"

Elena invited with gleaming eyes.
