Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer
Chapter 576 Vincent’s Choice

"Eh? It's her again?" Vincent muttered softly after seeing the name of the magic technician who created the Automaton.

"Did you say something?" Vivian curiously asked.

"The Magic Technician who made this is Airi Kayser… I already heard of her name before. To be specific, I appraised an Iron-Tier Automaton she had made before. I didn't expect that she can actually make a Diamond Tier."

"Oh? An Iron Tier made by Airi? Was it an Iron Sparrow?"

"You're right… it's indeed an Iron Sparrow I received from Ronan, the one who escorted us here…" Vincent explained.

"I see… That was one of her favorite Automatons… She probably made over ten thousand of that when she was still learning. It's quite difficult to make a small flying automaton so it's a very good automaton to practice her skills. That was over 40 years ago… I didn't expect that they're still around."

"Is she still around?" Vincent asked.

According to Vivian, there are only six members of the Kayser Clan excluding him… She only mentioned that the other five are all Diamond Tier Manipulators but their specific jobs weren't mentioned at all.

"Yes, she's still alive… She already stopped making Automatons and maintaining her own peak. Right, it's the Great Forge Peak in the eastern region, you can visit her if you have time. I'm sure she'll be happy to replace another Kayser."

Vincent nodded as he noted it at the back of his mind.

"Certainly… Are all of these Diamond Tier Automatons made by her?" Vincent said as he looked at the dozen of humanoid Automatons.

"If you're asking about the Diamond Tier Automatons she made by herself, there should be three more of them… As for the others, she made it together with other Magic Technicians. You don't normally make high-tier Automatons by yourself… Senior Airi just has plenty of time."

"Oh… Now I'm curious…" Vincent muttered as he continued appraising the dormant automatons.

Apparently, all three Diamond Tiers that Airi had made were all Sword Slave with different variations.

Based on their appearances, one of them uses dual blades, another one was a great sword and the last one uses a rapier.

Aside from the swords that are "installed" on them, they could also use other people's weapons which is quite amazing.

Vivian further explained that these Automatons could basically execute plenty of actions with a single command.

The Automatons aren't sentient yet but they somehow possess a lower tier of Artificial Intelligence which makes them really convenient to use. As long as you have enough Mental Energy, they could really work wonders.

Vincent then appraised the one that was made in collaboration with other Magic Technicians.

[ You have discovered a Dormant Diamond Brawler Automaton ]

[ Dormant Diamond Brawler Automaton ]

[ Quality: Pseudo-Legendary

Number of Enhancements: 0/10

Durability: 2900/2900

Energy: 17,000/17,000

Description: A dormant automaton that requires a certain level of Mental Energy to activate. It requires a very strong connection to Mental Energy to continue its operations. It is mainly made from Refined Phantom Alloy, Arcane Diamond Dust, Myriad Basilisk Bone Powder, and ten Virtue Crystals as its core. It uses twenty Energy Cores as a source of energy. It has an imprint of six Magic Technicians.

Replenishing its energy requires mana. It can naturally absorb Mana Crystals or receive Mana through Mana Transfer of Mana Practitioners.

Remarks: The Durability and its other attributes will be upgraded with every successful enhancement. The Automaton can't be used during a dormant state. ]

"So the ones made through the collaboration of other Magic Technicians is a lot better…" Vincent muttered after seeing the large difference in their durability and energy capacity.

"That's right… However, the ones made by Airi alone have a special ability that she can only place if she's working alone. Well, you won't be able to see it if it's in a dormant state…" Vivian explained.

"That would make sense then… After all, they are all Diamond Tier Automatons so they shouldn't have a huge difference in strength right?"

"Well, it's all about compatibility with the Manipulators…"

Vincent nodded at this as he continued with his appraisal…

"How was it? You can select one. I'll give it to you as a gift." Vivian said after seeing that Vincent had finished examining all the Diamond Tier Automatons.

Vincent needed some time to consider what Diamond Tier Automaton he would choose. It was unfortunate that he can't see their special skills because of their dormant state but anyway, he decided to just select one of Airi's creations.

Although they have lower Energy Capacity and Durability compared to the ones made by six Magic Technicians, Vincent can feel that there is something different from them.

"I'll select this Automaton…" Vincent said as he placed his hand on the black and silver humanoid automaton with a rapier as its weapon.

Vincent then looked at Vivian to see her reaction.

'It seems I made the right decision…' Vincent thought after seeing Vivian's expression.

She looks glad at his selection and it even seems like there was a hint of understanding on her face as if she was expecting it.

"Is it alright to choose this?" Vincent spoke again.

"Ahh… Of course, it is. I'm sure that Airi would be happy if she saw you using this Automaton. I hope you train your Mind Cultivation Technique as quickly as possible."

Vivian said to encourage Vincent in his cultivation.

"I will… I'm also excited to use this Automaton."

"Then go ahead and store it in your ring…"

Vincent did what he was told…

Then, Vivian also took the remaining Diamond Tier Automatons…

"You'll be enhancing them later. I'll send them to your room once I've seen the result." Vivian said.

Vincent paused for a moment processing what she just said. After a few seconds, Vincent understood that it was about their deal a while ago.

"I thought you'll be testing me first with one Diamond Tier Automaton?" Vincent asked.

"Heh… I know that you'll be surprising me so I'll be bringing these Automatons now so I don't have to get back here. You can also take the Celestial Chamber with you…"
