Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 528 Magic Tools

"Hmm… We have guests." A Celestial Being came to greet them. There are two of them and they are both Numbered Celestials.

They weren't Teresa and Claire though.

Vincent can see the numbers on their skin they aren't single-digit Celestials.

Number 95 and Number 106.

Their appearance was completely different from other Celestial Beings he met.

They weren't like warriors in his eyes and seem more like scholars with the way they dress. They are wearing scholar robes and their hair was neatly tied to their back. They were even wearing a bit of makeup on their faces adding allure to their already attractive faces.

"Ahhh… They're Celestials as well and they're working for Sage Vivian… It's been some time since they've seen other Celestial Beings so they must've thought of welcoming you. Alright… I'll just call for someone to assist you all in your rooms." Ronan said as he was also planning to report to Sage Vivian about his arrival.

"There's no need, Ronan. We'll assist them from here." Number 95 kindly said stopping Ronan in his tracks.

Ronan thought for a moment before agreeing.

"Alright… Please take care of them." As soon as he said this, he left Vincent's group and headed to another building to meet with the Sage.

After he left, Numbers 95 and 106 guided Vincent's group to the residential hall where they will be staying at.

They seem polite and not as aggressive as Vincent thought… He thought that once they arrived here, they will suddenly be challenged by the Celestial Beings into battle.

"It seems that none of you brought any Automatons… I'm assuming you're the envoy from the Black Tower?" Number 95 suddenly asked.

Speaking of which, Ronan didn't introduce them so the two Celestials have to guess their identities.

"You're right… Is there a problem with that?"

It was Faviona who answered.

Her attitude surprised the Celestials for a bit but they didn't mind her tone at all.

"There's none… However, I assume that you've seen several Automatons along the way. You can only buy Iron Tier Automatons but for those higher than that, you need to have your identity verified and you can't purchase them with your identity. If you allow us to fight against your contracted Celestials, we'll give you a reward of Silver Horse Automaton if you win."

Vincent was dumbfounded after hearing this. He already thought that these Celestials were meek or friendly but they just proved him wrong.

They just issued a challenge. Not even 5 minutes had passed since they'd met.

Nevertheless, Vincent was interested in their offer.

"I heard that Silver Tier Automatons requires certainly cultivation method to be controlled. Even if we have them, I don't think we'll be able to make use of it." Vincent commented as he recalled Ronan's words.

"You're right… However, it's not forbidden to learn it. You just need some contribution points to get the Manipulation Technique for it. I can tell that your friends here are Alchemists based on the smell they're emitting so it will be easy for you to request this technique from the Sage… How about it?" Number 106 replied this time.

"I see… I'm indeed planning to meet the Sage… If she accepts potions or pills for these "contribution points", then I guess there wouldn't be any problems." Vincent replied.

"Great! Then let's go to the arena now!" Number 95 said with a hint of anticipation. It seems that she was really itching for battle… She didn't even discuss what would happen if they lose the duel.

Anyway, Vincent didn't immediately agree as he decided to buy some time.

He advised them to wait for an hour since they'd just arrived and needed some time to rest. They accepted this unwillingly and could only wait for another hour…

"I'm not tired…"

"Me neither…"

Luna and Agatha softly said after the two other Celestials left.

"Of course… Let's just wait for a while as we have to ensure that you'll not lose. Let me check your weapons…" Vincent replied.

The two Celestials on his side were confused but they still handed their weapons to Vincent.

Seeing their compliant behavior, Vincent immediately explained himself…

"I was able to sense that they have an abnormal number of Magic Tools in their bodies. Can you guess how many it was?" He asked.

Faviona and others perked up as they were curious about this. They didn't feel Number 95 and 106's Magic Tools after all.

The two Celestials were wearing scholar robes so it doesn't feel like they were equipped with weapons… If their hair decorations and clothes were Magic Tools, it should be about 4 or 7 magic tools. It wasn't abnormal at all.

"I wasn't able to tell. Are there seven—No, ten magic tools?" Luna asked deliberately increasing the number since he felt that Vincent wouldn't ask such a question if it was just a normal number.

Vincent smiled and looked at Faviona and the others to make their guess.

"I think there were five for each of them." Ceri guessed.

"Eight?" Faviona tried.

"I think seven is the limit. It would be difficult to control magic tools more than that." Millie joined it…

However, Vincent only shook his head and revealed the truth to them.

"There were twenty-two on Number 95 and twenty-one on Number 106's bodies."

As soon as they heard Vincent's answer, they could help but realize how they have underestimated those pretty Celestial Beings.

***

After thirty minutes, Ronan returned to their residence with his merchant friend.

Previously, Vincent was able to sell 5 High-Grade Health Recovery Potions to Ronan worth 75 Low-Tier Spirit Stones each.

Apparently, that is already equal to 7 Epic Grade Weapons here in the Star Gaden Peak. It wasn't a good rate of exchange but since this place knows about Enchantments and Inscriptions, the prices of Magic Weapons here are terrible. Vincent has no plans of selling his enhanced magic tools here at such an unfair price.

It must be remembered how Ronan offered him 10 Low-Tier Spirit Stones for his decent Epic-Grade Shawl which shows how bad the rate of exchange was.

However, the potions here are different. They have staggering prices and depending on how he plays his cards, he could get much richer.
