Novel Bin Chapter 161 Preparations
As Vincent was walking in the hallway heading to the main deck, he met various members of the Zemin Clan. They either ignored each other or they were throwing hateful gazes at him.
However, all of this didn\'t matter to Vincent since he was blind. He no longer cared about them and treated them like they were dust.
Soon, Vincent\'s group arrived at the main deck…
Turhan immediately saw his group and was about to invite Vincent to see the beautiful scenery of the coast. But Rem and Tara\'s stare reminded him that he was blind.
\'I keep forgetting that since his actions over the past few days don\'t seem like he\'s blind at all.\' Turhan mused.
After Vincent announced the engagement termination, he didn\'t just remain in his cabin but was actually with Ayla over the past few days.
Turhan learned that Vincent has been very interested in the research of the mysterious enhancement technique that Ayla discovered.
Although he thought that this is a useless study since there was barely any improvement with the items Ayla enhanced, he still decided to let it be since this appears to be one of the lost magic before the First Rapture.
Anyway, Turhan approached Vincent with a smile.
"Vincent, I heard that Richard has developed a deep trauma… A few elders of the Zemin Clan wanted to skin you alive. Hehehe…" Turhan chuckled after recalling Richard\'s current state.
He already made some investigations so he was able to tell that Vincent used some kind of illusion or maybe a curse to mess with Richard\'s mind.
"Oh… I wonder what he saw?" Vincent muttered with great interest.
He didn\'t expect that Richard would be traumatized by his Robe\'s function. He only knows that Richard would be in a nightmare for a while and thought that it wouldn\'t have a long-lasting effect.
"So you weren\'t able to control that illusion?" Turhan asked.
Vincent thought for a moment before nodding. It should be fine to reveal this much.
"That\'s correct. The target will only experience some kind of a nightmare. As for what nightmare it was, I can no longer control that."
"Interesting…"
"Do you want to experience it, Sir Turhan? I\'m more interested to know whether it\'s effective against a Grand Magus."
"Haha! Let\'s forget about that. I might see my wife haunting me in that nightmare… Anyway, I called you here for a reason…" Turhan finally turned serious as he led Vincent to the edge of the deck where a few seats and tables were arranged.
Aside from their group, there were other members of the Black Tower in the main deck but no members of the Zemin Clan can be seen.
They weren\'t allowed here and can only access the three lower decks of the ship.
After getting a seat, Turhan looked at Tara and Rem before shifting his gaze to Vincent.
"Do you know that situation of the Celestial Beings in Parason Continent?" Turhan asked.
"Hmm? Ayla briefly mentioned it to me. She said that it wasn\'t good since they weren\'t needed that much on the continent… I didn\'t think much of it since I know how great they are… and even if they turned unwanted, I still need them beside me." Vincent said with sincerity.
After becoming blind, he learned who to trust more. If ever Tara and Rem get into a difficult situation, there was no way he would just let it be.
Turhan nodded. He was satisfied by his answer as he continued, "I\'m not sure how much you know about their existence. However, what if I tell you that we, the human race, have enemies beyond our capabilities because of them?"
Vincent frowned at the question. He didn\'t immediately answer as he wanted to clarify some things.
"What do you mean?"
"I\'m unable to explain it but if that\'s the situation, how would you feel about the Celestial Beings?"
"Haa~ Is that even needed to ask? Of course, I would treat them the same. I\'m pretty sure that Celestial Beings were like humans as well. They have their own thoughts and opinions. They can fight each other or befriend each other like us, humans. If one Celestial caused trouble to us, it doesn\'t mean that their entire race wanted us to be doomed. Furthermore, did they not share with us the Mana Cultivation Method or other techniques that brought us prosperity?"
"Oh… I like your answer, Vincent. That\'s right… They all have different personalities and could think for themselves. They gave us knowledge and even tools to make us stronger…"
Turhan paused at this moment. He turned to look at the nearing mainland and continued.
"Unfortunately, some of us believe that they are too dangerous. This is why their strength has been limited ever since…"
Vincent was confused by this. He understands that Celestial Beings can be very dangerous. Isn\'t that the reason why there is an unwritten rule? Furthermore, they also needed Celestial Energy to recover instead of using mana. Even if they are dangerous, they won\'t be able to use their full strength as they wish.
As far as he knows, they can only recover by using the Blood Essence of Mana Practitioners or his Enhanced Potions.
\'Am I missing something?\'
Vincent remained silent as he let the Professor continue.
"Within the Black Tower, there is an academy where you can learn more about the First and Second Rapture that involved the whole world… You need to attend it so you can properly decide what to do with your Celestial Beings. After that, you can decide whether you want them to continue getting stronger or just let them stay like that."
Vincent didn\'t react immediately as he digested his words.
\'So after learning the history of the Celestial Beings, I would have to consider whether to continue supporting them or not? Ugh… Whatever, I\'ll just learn it in this academy… but—\'
"I\'m blind. Can I even attend the academy there?" Vincent asked curiously.
"Of course. Although you won\'t be able to attend most of the classes, there are a few classes there where you can learn even without using your eyes. One of them is the Arcane Mysteries… The teaching method of the Professor in that class is suited for you."
