YM778.TV Chapter 455 Practice
"Well, we can only trust you about that… If you somehow failed, you don\'t have to take all the responsibility. I will do something about it. However, I have to check all these ingredients first before you start your concoction." Vincent said.
If Faviona failed to concoct the potion, he can still use his Awakened Source Cube to cure Ignacy… Although it would be left with 500 durability points or so, it would at least not be destroyed in the process.
"Then I won\'t hold back… I\'ll just focus on making the potion…" Faviona replied.
After a few more minutes, they finished their meeting as Vincent personally handled the gathering of ingredients.
The reason was simple, he needed to enhance them a little so they can get a decent result. He doesn\'t have to make them +10 or ascend them to a higher rank. He only needed to at least make them +5 or +6 and that would be enough.
Faviona also has to make some preparations so it was only after three days did she start to concoct the potion… She\'s also together with Turhan, Dianne, and Severin to assist with the concoction and to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In the meantime, while they are all busy doing their tasks, Rem had some free time and had just entered the tavern.
She\'s wearing the cloak that Vincent had given to her so no one can recognize her as a Celestial.
She ordered a drink and looked around…
"There are fewer people here… Did they really die during the invasion of those barbarians?" Rem muttered after noticing that the tavern wasn\'t as lively as expected.
There aren\'t many sources of entertainment here after all.
There are no brothels, gambling dens, or other shops that offer such entertainment to people. Needless to say, most of the people who wanted to have fun would be in the tavern, in the training ground that serves as an arena, in the plaza, or the lake waiting for the dragon to appear.
"Oh… You probably just arrived here, young lady… There is recently a popular toy—I mean a weapon that was very fun to use. It\'s powerful and anyone can use it regardless of gender or age… You don\'t even have to be a powerful magician to use it. Everyone bought one and was either practicing at the training ground or the Tower\'s arena." The bartender suddenly said as he heard Rem\'s words.
"Hmm? What\'s this weapon?" She curiously asked.
"It\'s a handgun… Its official name seems to be Black Pistol…"
Rem raised her brows after hearing this.
"Where can I purchase one?"
"It can only be purchased on the lower floor of the Kayser Tower. However, I heard that the Beacon Magic Shop can now sell them as well. I haven\'t visited that shop for a long time now so I can\'t be sure."
"I see… Thank you for the information." Rem stood up after leaving her payment for her drinks. She wanted to see this Black Pistol since she has some free time.
To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the Beacon Magic Shop, she found that the other Celestials have already bought one for themselves!
"You\'re also here…" Luna greeted with a smile after seeing Rem approaching the store.
"Mhmm… How was the pistol?" Rem asked after seeing they also purchased this new product.
"It looks ancient. I haven\'t tried using it yet. Hurry up and purchase one. Let\'s test it outside the city."
"Alright."
Unlike the others, Celestials are allowed to freely enter and exit the city. There are basically no restrictions to their movements unless Vincent ordered them to.
Rem entered the shop and found several Black Pistols and there is even one Black Rifle. Unfortunately, the rifle isn\'t for sale yet and was only sent here at the shop for display.
The one inside the store is one of the Followers of Qheglena and immediately recognized Rem…
She didn\'t ask for payment telling that Vincent already informed her not to charge the Celestials if they went to purchase one.
"Thank you. How about the ammunition?" Rem asked.
"I can give you one box with 200 rounds. If you\'ll ask for more, we will have to charge you."
"I\'m fine with 200 rounds."
"Here it is, Celestial Rem."
Rem took the small box to the lady and thanked her again. The transaction was smooth since she\'s one of the Celestials. However, it would be quite different for others.
***
After a while, the Celestials went out of the city and found a clear space to test out the pistols…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There are a total of eight Celestials practicing with the gun and the targets weren\'t some wooden dummies. They were targeting each other!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Rem dodges three bullets heading her way and fires back…
Bang! Bang!
Her swift movements, aim, and positioning was like a veteran soldier… Everyone can tell that she\'s enjoying this gun…
It was the same with the other Celestials as if they unlocked some of their memories and created some nostalgia about this weapon.
The eight of them had fun for almost an hour before they stopped since they ran out of bullets.
"What do you think?" Luna asked as she looked at the gun carefully.
"The design is definitely familiar… He could\'ve found a blueprint but he modified it according to this world\'s standard." Rem replied.
"That\'s what I\'m thinking as well… However, no one has ever found a blueprint of this kind of weapon… Isn\'t it quite a coincidence? A man with Pseudo-Celestial Energy, blessed by a Deity, with a strange gift that can modify almost anything… even potions that is comparable to the Mystic Link Serum… He has too many secrets that will be very helpful to us, Celestials… It was as if…" Luna\'s voice trailed as she didn\'t finish her words.
"It was as if he\'s receiving guidance from the Overseer." Rem added in a whisper.
The other unnumbered Celestials froze after hearing this conjecture.
"Is that possible?" Alpha asked as she couldn\'t help but tighten her grip on the gun.
To be honest, she was curious about Vincent\'s identity but since she was receiving his potion, she decided to not ask… it was the same for the others.
"There\'s no way that it\'s true… He must have some secrets but it\'s not something we should be worried about. In any case, we shouldn\'t be discussing this right now… I think those stinking beasts are coming." Luna said as she looked at the western hill where they could see the setting sun.
