Novel Bin Chapter 75 Shocked
The Zemin Clan may not be weak but they certainly could not fight against the full force of the Rebel Army.
Of course, there shouldn\'t be any problem if the Royal Family would send their Grand Magus, Grand Knights, or Celestial Beings. The only problem is that the young King wouldn\'t allow such a thing to happen.
Based on the Count\'s words, the young King seems to be too afraid of death and he wouldn\'t allow his main forces to leave the capital.
This is also the main reason why the Rebel Army could slowly collect their wealth and gain more supporters.
Nevertheless, the Royal Family still sent a battalion of elite soldiers to at least show their support. Aside from that, they have lessened the taxes being paid by the clan and allowed their salt trade to expand further south of the kingdom.
It means that they could generate more money and hire their own mercenaries if needed.
"However, based on what the Count just said, the Rebel Army should have a dozen of Celestial Beings they can mobilize and the Zemin Clan can only mobilize 3 or 5 of them. If the Rebel Army really wanted to go all out, it would be a huge problem."
Vincent muttered as he returned to the inn he was staying at.
Although Count Miller said that there is an unwritten rule that Celestial Beings will only be used to fight against Celestial Beings, this is not an absolute thing and will still depend on the situation. This is something that he clearly knows considering what happened to Arum Village.
As long as no one could tell the tale, there wouldn\'t be a problem at all to break this rule.
\'But… even if they don\'t have to worry about the Celestial Beings, can I still help the Zemin Clan?\' He mused.
Since the Clan was still related to his parents, he didn\'t really want them to suffer like what happened to his parent\'s sect.
If he can help them, he would do so.
\'Ugh… If that Grand Knight France has a good reputation, he could\'ve taken the throne easily and it wouldn\'t lead to this kind of civil war.\' Vincent couldn\'t help but complain as he lay on his bed.
Count Miller had actually discussed that the reason why there are still many nobles who are supporting the young and incapable King was because of Grand Knight France\'s terrible reputation.
After advancing to a Grand Knight and obtaining an unshakeable power in the military field, he indulged himself in debauchery thanks to the years of peaceful times in the central part of the Kingdom.
Apparently, most of the pressure made by the Barbarians outside the kingdom was being handled by six large and powerful sects. These sects will also remain neutral with regards to the royal ascension which is quite reassuring.
Anyway, the Central part of the Kingdom remained peaceful because of them and the people could practice their Mana in peace.
It also lead to corruption.
France\'s supporters, of course, were those corrupt officials or organizations that can be bribed by wealth and fame.
This is why even if the Zemin Clan doesn\'t really favor the king, they also didn\'t want France to take over the throne. Their prestigious clan remained upright and known for their noblesse oblige after all.
Thanks to all of this information, Vincent felt that once he visited the Zemin Clan, it might be a lot easier considering they have to uphold their good reputation.
Even if they decided not to acknowledge the arranged marriage, they probably won\'t kill him to silence him, right?
With that in mind, he decided to prepare all the things he needed as he plans to leave this city in a few days. He wanted to complete at least a month as an Appraiser.
Thanks to Maurice\'s attempt to harm him, he can easily take care of the two-month contract and end it earlier.
\'Tara… you should return before I leave. If not, I can only leave a letter for you to read.\'
Vincent sighed as he wondered when will that girl return.
He already guessed that the strong mana fluctuation he felt before must be related to the Celestial Weapon underground.
Tara must still be fighting for the ownership of that weapon.
More than two weeks have already passed and they haven\'t concluded their fight yet!
He can only imagine what kind of battle they\'re in right now.
"Hmm?"
As Vincent started to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a familiar Soul Aura!
\'It seems that I\'m getting closer to becoming a 3-Star Aura Knight. My Soul Sense can now feel her aura so clearly!\'
Vincent immediately stood up from his bed as he knocked on the door next to his room.
"Tara, this is me… Is everything alright?"
"Mhmmm…"
Instead of answering, Tara just groaned which made Vincent worried.
"Are you injured? I\'m opening the door, okay?" Recalling that Tara was previously injured, he also brought his potions from his room.
"…"
Since Tara didn\'t answer, he assumed that she agreed as he opened the door with his spare key.
What welcomed him is indeed a disfigured and bloodied Tara.
"W-what happened?!" Vincent was shocked!
He could no longer recognize Tara as he unconsciously raised his voice. If not for his Soul Sense, he wouldn\'t recognize her as a human but an undead!
He quickly closed the door and the window that Tara used to enter her room.
He also noticed that she already arranged a stronger barrier to ensure that no one could spy on them in this room.
Vincent took a deep breath as he looked at Tara\'s condition.
Currently, Tara\'s face barely has any skin. he can completely see her facial muscles, two large eyeballs, her gums, and her missing nasal cartilage.
It was as if she was skinned alive!
She\'s in terrible condition as her blood was also everywhere. Her Celestial Armor was also severely damaged and was only covering her lower body right now.
Thanks to that, her lower body seemed to be in a better condition than her upper body. Vincent sighed as he can recall the Muscle Figure Model of their Science Room in his university.
\'Tsk… She\'s really similar to humans. Why is she called Celestial Being?\' Vincent shook his head to erase his useless thoughts as he uncapped the bottle of his health recovery potions.
Although she looked disgusting right now, he didn\'t flinch at all.
Thanks to these two +9 potions, Tara\'s condition started to stabilize and her bleeding stopped. There were even signs of her skin slowly returning!
However, this is not enough! He has to do something!
