Novel Bin Chapter 169 Nucleus
"If there is any conflict between your groups… Settle it once we\'re on the ground. Do not cause trouble here. There are still many people who needed to get treated! If you dare to cause trouble, I\'ll drop you here right now!"
Captain Olus threatened as he looked at Silas. He didn\'t care whether Silas is a Yellow or Blue Emblem from the Tower. This is his ship and he\'s the one who must be followed!
This is also a warning to anyone who would dare to cause more trouble for him. He\'s already having a headache because of the damage caused by the sudden attack of the Magic Beast.
Aside from the internal damage caused by the sneaky Winged Hounds, their expensive Water Coat Formation was also destroyed in the process.
Repairing it would cost a lot of money and he also has to make a report about this incident… In short, he doesn\'t have the time to deal with any conflicts with his passengers.
Silas hesitated for a moment before deciding to finally back off. However, his glare at Vincent\'s group could not be hidden at all. It only means that once they docked at the First Tower\'s station, he will certainly look for Vincent.
At this point, Vincent decided to ignore him. He may not be an Archmage like Silas but he\'s confident with his weapons and his large amount of Pseudo-Celestial Energy. He knows that could probably be compared to a Grand Magus based on his observation with Patriarch Leon and Professor Turhan after all.
Tara and Rem then led their way inside the ship as the medical practitioners started arriving at the deck one by one…

"That guy will be a headache, Vincent… He\'s a member of the Black Tower. What if he caused you some trouble during your stay in the First Tower?"
Severin worriedly said.
He can tell that even if Vincent changed his mind and gave the Magic Beast Core to Silas, the latter would still be angry and wouldn\'t easily let it go.
Yulia had the same thoughts but she has a different opinion on what to do.
"We heard that he\'s from the thirteenth tower, right? I\'m sure that he doesn\'t have much influence in the first tower aside from his rank… Once Vincent became a student, he will also be protected by the tower\'s rules so that person can\'t openly act against him."
Vincent couldn\'t help but after hearing the two. He was the one in trouble but it seems that they were more worried for him.
"It\'s alright… We\'re not in real trouble yet. Although I\'m only a student right now, I\'m still acquainted with Professor Turhan. He\'s a Red Emblem and we can use a bit of his reputation to deal with this. Anyway, can you guys help me extract the Magic Beast Core?" Vincent asked as he pulled out the Runic Badger.
Since they were already in their cabin, there shouldn\'t be a problem doing this.
Yulia immediately worked with Severin as they extracted the purplish beast core out of the badger\'s chest area and handed it over to Vincent.
They then swiftly clean the floor with a bit of water using a simple conversion of mana.
"This core is quite larger than normal savage beast core…" Vincent commented after grasping the core in his hands.
Without any hesitation, he decided to appraise the core for the first time.
That\'s right, this is his first Magic Beast Core appraisal… He couldn\'t help but look forward to what he would find out about it.
[ Do you want to Appraise the item? ]
"Yes…"
Ding!
[ Appraisal has been successful. ]
[ You have discovered a Magic Nucleus. ]
[ Durability: 20/20
Pure Mana: 800
Talent: Mind Control
Description: The Runic Badger\'s source of life, magic, and intelligence.
Remarks: This item can not be enhanced. ]
Vincent curiously read the item appraisal.
\'Magic Nucleus? There is also a talent, Mind Control. Could it be--\'
He couldn\'t help but guess the significance of Magic Nucleus…
Since a normal Beast Core is used as an Enhancement Stone and Spirit Stones as Ascension Crystal, he couldn\'t help but guess that the Magic Nucleus can be used for Transcendence.
After all, similar to what the Transcendence Skill Card can do, the Nucleus also possesses skill or talent.
He wouldn\'t be surprised if his system can use the nucleus to transcend an item and grant a skill to it with whatever talent the magic nucleus has.
Unfortunately, he hasn\'t activated the Transcendence Skill yet so can only guess for now…
"You look happy… How is it?" Yulia asked after seeing Vincent grin foolishly.
If they don\'t know that he\'s an appraiser, they would probably think that he has gone crazy.
"Oh… Right, this Magic Beast Core is really good… Perhaps I should ask Professor Turhan if he knows a decent Magic Craftsman here…" Vincent said the last part softly as he considers his options.
Anyway, he might be able to get acquainted with a decent Magic Craftsman once he entered the Black Tower… He knows that that place is filled with talents after all.
Several minutes had passed as the Floating Ship started steadily moving on its way to the First Tower City.
It appears that even though the ship was still functioning, a part of it was damaged and couldn\'t fly at its full speed. At this rate, there might be an additional two or three hours on their trip.
Their group can only calmly wait as they pass the time by chatting and eating food.
***
As expected, the previous four hours trip became almost seven hours because of the incident.
It was already getting dark when they arrived in the city.
They were welcomed by many securities and medical practitioners to help tend to those heavily injured people.
After being interviewed by a few security personnel, their group finally left the floating ship station after 30 more minutes.
"We really wasted a lot of time here…" Severin couldn\'t help but comment after finally getting out of the station.
Even though they received a reward of 300 gold coins each, they felt that it wasn\'t worth the time and energy they spent there.
"That\'s true… However, it\'s not over yet." Vincent said with a hint of tiredness in his voice.
"What do you mean?" Severin was confused. However, he suddenly recalled the incident in the floating ship and immediately looked around.
Then, he noticed several figures observing their group as they walk on the streets of the prosperous city of the First Tower.
