YM778.TV Chapter 596 Threat
"They wanted to protect me?" Vincent shook his head as he felt like some sort of prisoner. There was no way he would agree to those options.
"There was no way I would agree to any of them…" He added.
Faviona was helpless at this as well. Though she provided suggestions to the Elders, it was still up to them to decide.
Even if she\'s a Tier 5 Alchemist which is very valuable to the Peak, her words don\'t carry too much weight if it\'s outside the field of alchemy.
"Their decision will depend on your meeting with them inside the temple later on…" Faviona explained as she glanced at the table with 20 low-grade spirit stones and poor-quality potions.
These items were Dianne\'s payment for the high-grade potion she took from Vincent a while ago. Faviona found the potions familiar so she was a bit curious seeing them here.
"Alright… I\'ll speak to them later on. I can bring my two Celestial Beings inside the temple, right?" Vincent asked.
\'If not, I\'ll be escaping immediately.\' He added in his mind. Although he has some means to protect himself, the addition of the Celestial Beings would make him more comfortable entering the enemy\'s den…
"You can bring them… I\'m sure you can scare them away if they dared to act on you." Faviona confidently replied.
This young man is filled with Legendary Items after all. There was no way he\'ll be killed so easily by a bunch of old men or women who were left behind by the passing of time.
"That\'s good. Right, I\'m sure you earned plenty of money. If you have spirit stones, I can trade you these potions…"
Vincent said as he pulled out a few high-grade potions with him that he doesn\'t have to use for a while.
They were Vial of Vitality Boost, Eagle Vision, Mana Block, and Strength Potion.
They may not be useful for him but for a Tier 5 Alchemist like Faviona, they were certainly a great specimen. After all, even if she\'s a Tier 5 Alchemist, it doesn\'t mean that she had already concocted all high-grade or higher-tier potions and pills.
She still has some specializations and these potions would greatly help her boost her knowledge.
Faviona\'s eyes lit up after seeing the high-grade potions in front of her.
Without any hesitations, she pulled up her bag and handed over a bunch of Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Stones may not be completely useless to an Alchemist like her, but in front of high-grade potions, she\'s very willing to hand over these stones.
"There are 40 Mid-Tier Spirit Stones here…"
This time, it was Vincent\'s turn to be surprised.
Although he has 5 High-Tier Spirit Stones in his possession, it doesn\'t mean he has plenty of mid-tier ones… As a matter of fact, he only had 43 mid-tier stones all this time which had turned into 35 after using them in his experiments.
The addition of 40 mid-tier stones was a huge deal for him. This is equivalent to 43 successful Ascension after all!
Since the descent of the otherworld beings is near and the outbreak of dungeons is also coming, he obviously needs to create a powerful army… One requirement of that is to get better weapons and pieces of equipment for them.
Needless to say, these Spirit Stones would be his foundation for creating the best magic tools out there.
The two completed the exchange and after that, Vincent accepted Faviona\'s suggestion to rest in her residence for now before meeting with the elders.
This way, he would be able to organize his thoughts.
During this time, Luna and Agatha didn\'t comment on the prophecy to him by the Soothsayers of the Star Garden Peak.
For them, Vincent is truly an anomaly and they can even tell that he has already made changes in the current era.
The fact that he was able to gather plenty of Celestial Beings alone with his unique ability, means that the era of Celestials is finally here once again.
If they gathered more Celestial Beings and allowed them to recover at 80% of their real strength, they would become an unstoppable force that any country has to be careful about.
***
In the early morning of the next day, the elders of the Star Garden Peak can no longer wait. As soon as Vincent and the others had finished their breakfast, the messenger of the elders has already come knocking on their doors to escort Vincent.
At this point, Vincent truly felt like he was some sort of criminal that was about to attend his trial.
\'Tsk…\'
Vincent grunted as he looked at the six arrogant escorts who had come to look for him.
They seem to have ignored Luna and Agatha\'s presence as well since they didn\'t show any form of respect… Well, it must be because of the defiance hooded shawl… Nevertheless, this isn\'t the treatment that Vincent was expecting at all.
It\'s not like he had some crimes that deserved to be treated coldly.
He may not be expecting a grand celebration for his arrival, he had at least expected to be treated well like in the Eternal Sun Peak.
Soon, Vincent\'s group entered a left-wing hall of the temple while surrounded by the escorts.
Inside the hall, he saw the nine elders of the Star Garden Peak wearing white and red robes draped on their bodies. They are all standing on an elevated platform behind a glass window where the sunlight is.
One thing that Vincent immediately noticed was that his Item Sense Ability was greatly obstructed inside the hall.
This is such a familiar feeling when he entered the Black Tower before.
They may not have used the mystical octopus ink but they seem to have access to something better.
\'Interesting…\' Vincent mused as he tried to find out how his system was being restricted again.
Thud…
As soon as Vincent and his Celestials stood at the center of the hall, the door of the left-wing hall was closed by the guards.
This time, no one spoke as if they were measuring each other\'s strength.
Finally, Vincent felt irritated as he broke the silence…
"I won\'t just accept being killed. So you have to remove those dangerous thoughts." He said with the most intimidating voice he could muster.
