Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Contrary to Vincent\'s excitement, Levent looks dismayed after hearing this.

Vincent immediately realized what was going on…

\'Right… Professor Levent has been waiting for this. She took the capsule hoping to get some treasure. She spent years of long research to open the capsule. She probably spent a lot of money on this project. In the end, what she got is something she can\'t even use…\'

Furthermore, the reason why she bought the dungeon was probably because of the capsule as well.

Although there seem to be a few resources inside, what she probably needed the most in that dungeon is the large space or cavern that it has.

Vincent went silent for a moment as he considers his options.

The reason why he was helping her was for the platinum coins that she\'ll give to him later. However, since it comes to this, he might as well trade or buy the \'Celestial Armor.\' In any case, Professor Levent might just put it in her rare collection of artifacts or even sell it somewhere else.

However, does he have an item as valuable as this?

Strictly speaking, he seemed to possess a few of them…

In the end, he decided to just ask her directly.

"Professor, do you have any thoughts of trading this item instead?"

At Vincent\'s question, Professor Levent realized his interest in the cube. Her eyes lit up as she considered whether this is a good idea.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded her head.

"Yes… Since I can\'t use this Celestial Armor. Can I perhaps use a Celestial Weapon?" She asked and looked at Vincent with hopeful eyes. She wasn\'t sure whether it also requires Celestial Energy after all.

Although she knows that some magicians were using them as well, they must\'ve modified them at some point.

She then added, "If I can wield a Celestial Weapon, whatever type of weapon it was, I can agree to trade with this unusable cube."

Vincent smiled.

As expected, she requested a Celestial Weapon. He would probably do the same if he was in her position so he wasn\'t surprised at all.

With that in mind, he decided to pull out the Celestial Saber.

"You really have a Celestial Weapon?" Levent\'s eyes lit up in excitement.

"Yes. I won it at an auction…"

"Auction? Again?" Levent heard him say this a couple of times already.

She wasn\'t sure whether Vincent was telling the truth or not but other than a large auction, she doesn\'t know where someone like him could get those items.

The Barbarian King\'s eyeballs, the personal flying airship, and this Celestial Weapon… All of them are items that could not be easily gathered by a teenager. He could only get this if he has enough wealth which seems to be the case.

"Yes… I was lucky at that time. Anyway, this saber is quite good. It\'s not bound to me yet since I don\'t know any Saber Technique. I was thinking of trading it if I found a sword or a staff…"

"Perfect! Then let\'s do the trade!"

Without any hesitation, Levent handed over the cube to Vincent. She accepted the Celestial Saber as well and realized that it was heavier than the cube just now.

She then pulled out her Appraisal Tool to check the saber and was obviously satisfied with the result. She even wanted to wield it inside the airship but decided to restrain herself.

She might accidentally damage Vincent\'s airship since she\'s not used to the power of the saber after all.

"Right, how do you bind it to you?" She asked.

Well, Vincent had no issues binding an item to him since his system will just ask him if that option is available.

However, it was obviously different for those without a system helping them.

Vincent could only look at Tara for help.

"It\'ll communicate with you. You have to sense it. Use mana, mental energy, or anything that could make you connect to the weapon." Tara advised.

"I see… I\'ll do it later in my house then. As long as it can be wielded by non-celestial, then I\'m confident to get this saber bound to me."

With that said, she put her hands in her pocket and took out a silk pouch.

"Here\'s the Platinum Coins. I only have these eleven so I hope this could cover the cost of that Barbarian King\'s eye and the potions you used to recover your injuries."

"Thank you, Professor. This is enough. It\'s actually a lot more than I expected. Do you want to ride with us back to the city?" Vincent asked as he casually handed over the silk pouch to Tara.

Levent looked around the airship for a bit before shaking her head.

"I\'m okay… Old Henry outside is still waiting for me. I\'m also planning to add another layer of protection outside the dungeon so I probably need to stay for another hour."

The professor said as she wrapped the saber with a cloth.

Soon, the Vermillion Hawk left the green lake dungeon as they returned to the city.

Of course, their entry to the city was seen by the Sky Guards hired by the Black Tower but completely ignored them.

It\'s simply because the Vermillion Hawk is associated with the Nexus Organization. He no longer needed to prove his identity as the airship itself is a symbol of status.

After returning to the Stellar Residence, Vincent was greeted by the servants…

Obviously, these servants were the Followers of Qheglena.

As they have a complicated identity, being recognized as a servant in this residence is the best thing they could have at the moment.

As soon as the Vermillion Hawk landed in the front court, Caesus ran over to make a report.

"Young master Vincent, there were two people who were looking for you. They mentioned that they were from the academy and here to send a message regarding the upcoming competition."

"Oh? A messenger? I didn\'t know there was such a thing… They would normally just wait for me in the academy. Did you let them enter?"

"Yes. They\'re currently in the reception hall with Sir Severin."

"I see… Guide me there." As he said this, he pulled out his damaged cane so he can use it to help him walk."

No one in the academy, aside from Professor Levent, knows that he was already able to see, albeit blurry.

Since he won\'t know who had come, he decided to just act like a real blind person and observe them.

However, as soon as the two visitors saw him, they immediately showed dissatisfaction for making them wait. It didn\'t end there as they even demanded something from him.

"Do not participate in the coming competition or else…"
