Chapter 96 Stopped

Vincent was temped after hearing what Tara just said.

"You want to give me the Celestial Dagger?" Vincent asked.

"Yes… Not only you've woken me up, you've been helping me recover all this time." Tara answered.

"You're lucky to have woken up a Numbered Celestial Being." Rem said softly from outside the carriage.

Currently, it was her turn to drive the carriage.

Rem already knows that Tara was actually a Numbered Celestial and she can only feel glad knowing that Tara was truly holding back when they fought against each other.

"Ehem… I won't be shy then. Once you removed it, I'll gladly accept the Celestial Weapon… However, are you sure I can use it even if I'm not a Celestial?" Vincent asked cautiously.

"Though you may not exert the full strength of this weapon by lacking Celestial Powers, you can still use this even just by using your mana. It's alright." Tara explained.

The three of them continued chatting about various things related to their existence and the history of this world as well.

Thanks to the contract with Rem, he was finally allowed to learn a few more things about their secret.

Apparently, all Celestial Beings were actually female ones. He hasn't considered it before since he just thought that he just haven't seen enough Celestial Beings.

To be fair, from over ten thousand Celestials, he hadn't seen more than ten of them yet.

Aside from that, he also learned that the Celestial Beings indeed arrived here using several hundreds of spaceships!

"We've arrived here using a technology you can never imagine. It's something that allows us to travel from star to star." Rem hinted and didn't bother to further explain thinking that Vincent wouldn't understand and he won't just believe what she was saying.

It seems that she had done this to others before and the ones who heard her didn't take her seriously.

As a matter of fact, some Mana Practitioners from large and powerful clans even spread the information that Celestial Beings were created using alchemy by their ancestors!

That's right, many people claimed that the Celestial Beings were actually alchemy creatures that their ancestors created to resolve the First Rapture.

"First Rapture? I heard about the Second Rapture and it seems to be a huge battle in the past involving many Celestial Beings. Can you tell me more about them?" Vincent curiously asked as his little knowledge about the history of this world couldn't even be compared to normal people.

"I guess you didn't attend any Academy yet… You should consider going to an Academy to learn there. I only know a few things about the First and Second Rapture since I didn't participate in any war back then."

"I'll think about going to the academy someday. For now, tell me whatever you know about the past. If it's something that I shouldn't know or it held some kind of your secrets, you can just skip those parts." Vincent said.

"Very well… The First Rapture is the first war of humans against the outsiders… It wasn't us, Celestial Beings, but the creatures worshipped by the Barbarians, they were the genuine Magic Beasts. Each of them is as strong as an Adept Mage or even Archmage. There were also a few King Beasts that were said to be as strong as a Grand Magus. You can say that it was the glorious days of the Magic Beasts."

"King Beasts…" Vincent muttered. This is the first time he heard about the existence of King Beasts. Nevertheless, they must've died already considering how the humans were still alive and prosperous.

The humans at that time must've won after paying a great price then…

Vincent wanted to listen more about the history but suddenly, the carriage stopped.

"Three people are blocking our path… What should we do?" She asked calmly.

Vincent opened the screen of the carriage and looked ahead. There was a young lady and two middle-aged men in front of their carriage. It seems that their own carriage was broken and couldn't continue moving.

As soon as they saw Vincent poking his head out, they immediately explained their situation.

"We're sorry to bother you, mister. Are you also heading to Canthus City? Is it alright if you can help us?"

Vincent didn't immediately answer as he subtly used his Soul Sense and confirmed that the two middle-aged men wearing clothes like a rich merchant were magicians.

As for the young lady with them, it seems that she's not in a very good condition with her pale face and a few red marks on her skin.

Noticing Vincent's gaze, the two immediately explained.

"Our miss has a sickness but it's not a contagious disease. We're heading to the city to find the Divine Doctor there… We will pay you with this."

The middle-aged man with blond hair said as he showed a pouch filled with silver coins.

"Divine doctor? Alright… Get in." Vincent didn't think too much of the silver coins. Anyway, the inside of the carriage can fit a total of six people so there shouldn't be a problem with this.

"Thank you, sir!"

Then, the middle-aged man who has a bald head assisted their young miss top hop in the carriage.

They then noticed that there was another beautiful lady inside which stunned them for a moment. The woman outside was already prettier than most noble ladies they have seen. Those noble ladies were also filled with make-up and the strong scent of their perfume.

However, the two beautiful ladies here can't be compared at all since they can tell that they aren't wearing any makeup but their red lips and fair skin were still pleasing to their eyes.

"Ehem… I can drive the carriage to Canthus City instead…" The bald man offered politely as he shifted his gaze from Tara.

"Oh?"

Vincent didn't find anything wrong with the man's suggestion since he's together with two Celestial. There shouldn't be a problem letting them drive the carriage.

"Alright… Rem, get in here."

Vincent said as he sat with Tara and Rem while facing the blonde young lady and her escort.

"May I know your name?"

Vincent asked the escort.

"I'm Alfred and this is our young miss, Dennise. Because of the complication of the disease that has spread in her throat, I'm afraid that she can't speak for now as it would hurt her."

Alfred explained.

Vincent nodded as he then asked about the existence of this Divine Doctor. Anyway, his history lesson with Rem can wait.
