Chapter 323 Agreement

Vincent listened to Millie and Ceri's request and found it really interesting.

First of all, their Primal Sword Sect actually has a secret technique that allows them to get even stronger. It involves the usage of Magic Beasts Cores so they immediately went to him in case he decided to waste them.

Vincent had never heard of something like that at all. He previously thought that the Magic Beast Core, also known as Magic Nucleus according to his system, can only be used to add specific abilities to any weapons or perhaps to Transcend an item.

Anyway, it is good to know that it has other things it could do since it wasn't even mentioned in his Arcane Mysteries Class.

"Alright… According to your secret art, the core has to be modified by adding a Fine Burr or a similar component that increases the durability of the core… Before the durability has increased, the secret art can't be triggered." Vincent repeated.

"That's correct. If we perform the secret art without modifying it, it will just fail and likely injure us."

"If you're confident that you can increase its durability, our chances of getting more enhancements will increase as well."

Millie and Ceri explained as Vincent listened seriously.

"If that's the only thing you're worried about, then I guess this will be very successful. However, I will have to spend two precious Magic Beast Cores… I was previously planning to make weapons out of these…"

Vincent explained as the two felt nervous… This is indeed what they were worried about.

"We don't really have anything that might satisfy you. However, you can at least gain two strong swordsmen after this…"

"That's right… We can see that you're heavily relying on those three Celestial Beings. However, they can't always run around or handle simple conflicts within your territory. Soon, you will need people like us!"

Millie and Ceri could only try to persuade Vincent.

Although this is flawed since Vincent can still find other people, he didn't really mind helping these two a little bit more. In any case, the reason why he allowed them to become his apprentice in the Tower is that he wanted them to get stronger and be able to protect themselves.

"Hmm… I will indeed need trustworthy people, especially once this place started developing… Very well, I will invest with the two of you. However, I really need to know about this secret art of yours." Vincent said.

Millie and Ceri looked at each other and smiled…

They didn't really mind letting Vincent know of this since they know that he can't learn this art without developing his Primal Sense… They wouldn't feel guilty to their masters if they taught this to Vincent.

This Primal Sense isn't similar to Mana Sense or Aura Sense at all. They were only able to possess this ability after training inside a special meditation room within their sect.

Without this kind of special training, they wouldn't be able to learn or develop the Primal Sense.

Anyway, Vincent wasn't in a hurry to learn this secret art as he asked them to give him a few more days to complete their request.

After all, Magic Beasts Cores can't be enhanced according to his system... However, they can at least be ascended. Now that his Ascension Skill is about to reach level nine, he wanted to level it up first before working on these beast cores.

They happily agreed with this arrangement and left his room filled with smiles.

Vincent watched them leave his room before he turned his gaze to the small window…

"Krusk… What do you want?" Vincent spoke. He hadn't seen Krusk at all. He couldn't even sense him… However, thanks to the cloak Krusk was wearing, Vincent can use his Item Sense ability to know that he's close.

"Amazing… You can really feel my presence. I thought I already perfected my technique… How are you doing this?" Krusk couldn't understand why he failed again this time.

Krusk was like Rem who wanted to find out the limit of his sensing abilities.

"You can try when I'm tired… I won't sense you at all."

"Hmph… There won't be any purpose then… Anyway, I came here after noticing that the Savage Beasts in the deeper region are going restless… It seems that the death of the five Magic Beasts resulted in a chaotic atmosphere. I think that you should handle it before an outbreak occurs." Krusk suddenly gave a piece of surprising news.

Vincent didn't think about an outbreak at all. However, now that Krusk mentioned it… It does indeed makes sense if they go out of control without their leaders.

They have only killed the beasts in the vicinity of the land he proposed to be their city so there should still be a lot of beasts hiding in the forest.

"Alright… I will have the three actively hunt some of the beasts then… I initially told them to just defend our territory. I guess that was a bad decision, huh…" Vincent muttered as he stood up to call the three.

He also wanted to give them their supply of potions so it should be a perfect time.

"Then who will guard us once they left to hunt?" Krusk asked.

? "Aren't you here? I will rely on you…" Vincent answered with a smile.

Of course, it wasn't just Krusk. He will be here protecting this land as well. He just wanted to tease this young Mythical Beast…

"Me? Kekeke… I guess you're already aware of how strong I've become, huh… Don't worry, I'll work for you for free since you're helping me find the Overseer."

"That's good to hear…" Vincent replied.

On the next day, the construction of their city continued…

Unlike yesterday which was a bit messy because everyone is still adjusting, today's work has gone smoothly as they were already getting used to their new environment. Furthermore, everyone already has their own tasks making the place really busy…

Yulia looked at everyone from above the hill and found this scene really interesting. If she could paint this, she would surely do so and paint the scenery here again once the city was built. It would be very satisfying to compare them and see the massive changes they've made.

"Miss Yulia… We've found all the edible fruits here… There are two of them that we can consider using on the orchard we're planning to create." Vel said after approaching Yulia.

There are a total of 10 people in their group as they explore the surrounding area to confirm what kind of plants or shrubs they could grow in their orchards.

Of course, they weren't lacking in food yet.

Although their food supply will only last them for another five days, the One Sea Merchant Union should arrive here in the next three days so they weren't too worried about it. They were just preparing themselves for the agricultural development of their land.

"That's good to hear… Let's go check the other area that Celestial Tara noted to be very safe…" Yulia said as she lead the group to the other side of the hill.

As they were peacefully doing this, none of them notice that someone was following them. This being doesn't seem to possess hostility and is only filled with curiosity. Furthermore, the fact that Yulia's Mystic Eyes failed to notice this means that this being is certainly a special existence…
