Chapter 449 Sacrifice

'So it was like that…'

Vincent sighed as he recalled that aside from the core members, no one knows that Tower Lord Ignacy is comatose or unconscious until now.

The public only knows that Ignacy is currently here and resting after being injured in his battle against the Black Magic Organization.

Anyway, he's also not planning to reveal the truth to Lesley.

Although Guven didn't find any issues with the members of the Zemin Clan aside from their arrogant attitude, some things might change in the future. They might be approached by the people of the Black Magic Organization and he can't tell whether they will remain loyal or change their minds once they were offered the chance to get their wish fulfilled by the Magic God.

"I'm sorry… I can't help you with that. There are already people serving him at the moment… One of them is even a Tower Master."

"Really? A Tower Master is residing here?" Lesley was shocked since this is the first time she heard of this. Vincent has more secrets than she had expected.

'He was really patient hiding his trump cards… Even though there was a swarm of powerful insects that could cause trouble to his city, he didn't mobilize them…' Lesley thought as she bit her lips… She has to think of something to get closer to the Black Tower's Grand Magus…

If she just followed the advancement path of the Zemin Clan like her father, her peak would only be a Dual Caster…

She didn't want that… She wants to become a Penta-Caster or even higher!

Vincent can see her desperation but he didn't flinch…

"That's correct… So you can't really help with anything."

"But…" Lesley knows that she can't just give up now as she may no longer have another opportunity to meet Vincent like this.

"I'm already willing to serve you. What more do you want so you can allow me to get closer to the Tower Lord? I just need the guidance of a Grand Magus so I can advance… I'm already an Archmage but I need to prepare for my advancement before it's too late. Please…" Lesley pleaded as she can only tell the truth since she needed a solid foundation as an Archmage before she can think of advancing to the Grand Magus.

If she continued with her Zemin Clan's Mana Cultivation Technique, she may become a Grand Magus in the future but she will just be an average one… She didn't like that to happen.

She knows that she's talented, a genius that can rarely be found in hundred years… It would be such a shame if her talent and skills were limited because of her poor Mana Cultivation Technique.

Vincent sighed after hearing this… Although he wanted to continue rejecting her, he might just push her and her clan to betray him in the future.

He remained silent for a moment as he needed some time to think of a solution to this…

First of all, he has no plans to make her his servant… Yulia might also feel awkward to her if she started attending to Vincent.

He's also not planning to introduce her to Abe, the 29th Tower Master since if this girl is not that talented or she committed some sort of crime, he would have to take responsibility for it.

In the end, he can only ask his senior disciples to help him with this matter. In any case, it doesn't seem like they have a lot of things to do so he might as well give one of them a job if they wanted.

"Hmmm… Alright. It's not possible to get you closer to Tower Lord. To be honest, I don't really like you so I won't recommend you to Master… However, I will ask my Senior Disciples if they wanted to teach you or perhaps accept you as their apprentice or something… I can't guarantee that but you might get a chance…"

Lesley's eyes lit up as soon as she heard this… She was delighted by this decision as she even tried hugging Vincent to thank him…

However, Vincent didn't like it as he can still recall how this woman immediately changed after his eyesight was taken by Vera.

He pushed her away and reminded her of her position…

"I'm sorry… I was too excited. Nevertheless, as a sign of gratitude, I will for introducing me to your Senior Disciples… You can call me tonight and I---"

"Stop… You can go out now before I change my mind…"

"O-of course… I will leave now. I will wait for good news."

Lesley replied as she hastily left the residence.

After a few moments, Vincent looked at the other door of the reception hall and spoke.

"You heard us?"

"Well, I didn't intend to listen…" Yulia replied as she showed a mischievous smile. It was as if she was satisfied with how his conversation with Lesley ended like that.

Vincent only sighed as he asked Yulia.

"Are you here to report about Master's condition?"

"That's correct… Just like what you instructed, I asked Celestial Luna to check his condition and she seems to have a method to wake her up… However, she's not sure whether you will like it or not…"

"Oh? What method is this?" Vincent curiously asked since even his +10 potions are not working on Ignacy… Ignacy's life force or vitality is only increasing but he wasn't waking up at all.

Vincent was also interested in why he may not like the method she thought of.

Yulia then repeated what she heard from Luna.

"She said that Ignacy might wake up if he rests inside the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber… However, the problem is that this chamber might be broken after he wakes up… It might be too extravagant to heal him so you may not like it."

"What? It costs a Cryogenic Sleep Chamber?!"

Vincent was shocked as this is indeed quite expensive.

Of the seventeen Celestial Beings that are currently in his city, only five of them have an Origin Cube that can transform into a chamber.

Can he really sacrifice one of them for Ignacy's sake?
