Chapter 222 Green Lake

Vincent no longer cares about Dianne and Faviona's thoughts regarding the 'modifications' that he made.

As long as they don't pry too much about him, he wouldn't mind cooperating with them for a little longer.

"Vel, can you take these items? Give them to Dianne first thing in the morning. It's already a bit late." Vincent said after seeing Yulia, Vel, and Severin…

Since his consumption of the potion took longer than he thought, he decided to just give the payment tomorrow.

Yes, he's referring to the items he prepared to give in exchange for the valuable pieces of information he received about the prisoners of the Red Alliance and the Star Gaden Peak.

"Yes, Sir Vincent…" Vel dutifully replied as he took a glance at the magic tools that Vincent prepared. They seem like normal objects so they could easily be mistaken if not for Vincent's words.

No matter how many times he sees this, he was always impressed by the vast number of this young man's magic tools.

"Alright. Everyone should also take a rest." Vincent said as he looked at Yulia and Severin who has satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Haha… Of course… But anyway, since you were able to regain your eyesight, even if it's blurred, it should just be right to have a celebration, right?"

"Ahhh… That's true… But let's just postpone that and do it after I passed the competition and gain an Emblem…" Vincent said. He was filled with confidence although there was still a problem in his eyes.

"It's good that you're confident… We'll take our leave then. Good night, Vincent." Yulia said as she really felt relieved about this development.

To be honest, she's still feeling guilty about Vincent's blindness.

It all happened within the Zemin Clan's territory after all. Although it is ruled as some kind of accident, there was no way that their clan wasn't involved in it.

On the next day, Dianne informed Vincent that she was about to leave and meet with her Master.

Faviona's group was currently within the First Tower and it appears that she was there to look for another young disciple. That is indeed a very suitable place to find talented Mana Practitioners, however, what surprises him is how she can't find them in the Alchemist Union or in the other tower that was near her. If he wasn't mistaken, they were supposed to be living somewhere in the 27th Tower or perhaps, within the Union's territory. It was quite far from here.

"Right, my master told me to give this to you." Dianne said as she handed over a jade tag to Vincent.

Vincent held the jade tag and confirmed that there is an engraved symbol of the Alchemist Union.

"What the use of this?"

"In case you wanted to visit the Union, you can use it to enter without paying a fee. Aside from the First Tower, that place has the most number of alchemy ingredients and magic tools. You might need it someday."

With that said, Dianne gave one last glance at the young man in front of her before turning her back and leaving.

Just like what her master said last night, Vincent's actions were indeed quite mysterious. Adding to the fact that he also has a mysterious source of magic tools, it's better to be on his good terms for now.

As for Vincent, he just called Caesus so they can take a carriage to the First Tower.

Today, he's planning to meet Professor Levent and deal with the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber.

"Vincent… I'm sure that you guys have a break. You only need to return on the day of the competition. Shouldn't you be using this time to practice?"

Levent asked. Her calm and gentle voice was still the same and Vincent couldn't help but smile. For some reason, Vincent could feel that she was always looking out for him. He could always feel her kindness and it may be some kind of charm magic but Vincent didn't mind it at all.

"Oh… I'm here to check that capsule again. This time, I'm already prepared. I may not have developed a Metal-Melting Liquid as you requested but I have found another method to open it."

"Really?! I thought you'd already forgotten about this… Let's do whatever method you have. Follow me." Professor Levent seems to have nothing to do today as well so she immediately invited Vincent.

"I didn't forget about it. I was just delayed after handling some personal matters. Are you not going to ask me about the method?"

Vincent curiously asked.

"Huh? I will see it later on anyway… I've already transferred the capsule to a safer place. We can try opening it there."

"Ahh… Is it no longer within the tower?"

"No… I've brought it back inside a dungeon that I've recently bought." Levent revealed with a big smile on her face. Buying a dungeon is not easy even with her current status. She was only able to do this after two decades of preparation.

No wonder she was so confident about this safe place.

"Dungeon? You can buy a dungeon?"

Vincent was almost speechless after learning about this. Most of the dungeons have rare resources that can be indefinitely mined. One sample of this is the dungeon in the Tudor Kingdom where anyone can get a few bottles of Serene Water that could temporarily increase someone's Magic Immunity.

There were also others with herbs that could be harvested in certain seasons or golem that you could kill to train your combat skills and many more.

"It wasn't easy to buy one. Anyway, I've noticed that your eyes seem livelier than before…" Professor Levent said as she lead Vincent to her luxurious carriage parked outside the tower.

She has a driver taking care of it when the two arrived. As soon as they arrived, the old man immediately readied the horses and opened the door for them.

"So you've noticed. I'm already seeing some light. I still can't properly see but it seems that I'm about to get cured, Professor."

"What? Isn't that good news? Is that the reason why it took you so long to find a method to open that capsule?" Levent was surprised as she realized why Vincent was delayed for such a long time.

Vincent could only smile and nod at this misunderstanding. It's better if she thinks of it that way.

Soon, the two of them were able to get outside the First Tower City as Vincent finally saw a unique dungeon for the first time.

It wasn't a cave, a tunnel, or a passage leading underground but a small green lake!
