"Isn't that a common name?" The Celestial asked as she looked at Vincent.
"Ah? Really?"
He didn't know this as he glanced around to ask for their opinion.
"Hmmm… Perhaps not in this territory. I don't know anyone with that name." Calidia said.
"Right, no one has that name in the Tudor Kingdom as well… Does it mean something?" Yulia asked.
After hearing this, the Celestial understood something as she just accepted the name. In any case, it seems to be quite suited to her…
"It's fine… I'll accept that name. It doesn't sound bad." Luna said with a smile.
They concluded their meeting today as they also needed a bit of rest while Luna still needed to adjust herself.
Vincent then wanted to speak with Tara for a moment but he noticed that the three Celestials went to the garden as they seem to be planning to get to know each other.
He decided to just let them be as he went to his room to continue his grind.
***
A month passed after Luna joined their residence.
During this time, the matters regarding the spread of the Black Decay have already calmed down thanks to the potions that they were able to supply at a steady pace.
Of course, they earned an incredible amount of money because of this and Vincent was already confident that they'll be able to build a decent settlement on the land he was planning to purchase.
However, the problem with the Barbarians was still there.
There were many confirmed skirmishes between the members of the Black Tower and the Barbarians in several hunting grounds within their territory.
If the Tower decided to complain to the leaders of the Red Alliance, they will just say that they weren't part of their alliance and were considered criminals in the race.
They weren't planning of taking responsibility at all as they allowed the Black Tower to deal with them as they wish. The problem is that it's not easy dealing with these Barbarians.
This had obviously pissed off many high-ranking officials of the tower as they decided to eliminate all the "criminal barbarians" freely roaming in their territory.
Most of the Archons were sent out to hunt these barbarians.
Since the Barbarians exceeded a thousand, they were quite tough to deal with if the Archons didn't work together. Furthermore, there are Totemic Barbarians mixed among them so they have to be careful.
For some reason, the Tower Lord and the Tower Masters weren't doing anything about it and just allowing their external forces and the Archons to deal with this problem…
It was as if they were waiting for something to happen before they could decide whether to engage in an all-out war.
"Vincent, what are you doing here?" Ignacy asked after seeing Vincent outside his office.
He was about to go out of the Tower and noticed his seventh disciple just looking at the paintings in the hallway…
'I thought you have blurred vision?' Ignacy wanted to ask.
"I'm waiting for you, Master Ignacy. I'm planning to purchase the land I've previously mentioned" Vincent said politely.
"Oh? That valley with a gold deposit? I heard that it's difficult to take that place because of the numerous Savage Beasts led by three Flying Magic Beasts… Do you need help?" The Tower Lord asked.
Everyone knows that Flying Magic Beasts were tricky to deal with since aerial attacks weren't common techniques being taught in the Tower.
"I'm fine, Master Ignacy. I already made an arrangement to deal with them. I just need the permission…"
"Hmm… Alright…"
Ignacy no longer questioned Vincent's decision as he gave him a medallion that will prove that he is the owner of the land.
He taught how Vincent could use it before he collected the money that Vincent had saved up.
Purchasing the land cost him 850,000 Mana Crystals and it's already a discounted price. Perhaps, if the land wasn't infested by Savage Beasts and Magic Beasts, this price would be tripled…
Nevertheless, he still has another 2.5 million Mana Crystals that he could use to develop the land.
"Master, may I ask about the situation of the Tower and the Red Alliance?" Vincent suddenly asked as he wanted to know what was really happening right now.
"Are you worried? Don't think too much about it. The Red Alliance just wanted to cut down their numbers." Ignacy answered which confused Vincent even more. He didn't expect this answer at all.
"Cut down their numbers?" He repeated.
"Yes… The current Alliance Leader's heir died after the Martial Arts Alliance ambushed their airships. The young barbarian was supposed to inherit the title as the leader but after this incident happened, the other officials wanted to take the title… They were basically sending those loyal to the Alliance Leader to their death to get the power and position they wanted…" Ignacy answered with a weary voice.
"What? So they have this kind of conflict as well? I thought only humans were dealing with this kind of politics."
"Well… Now you know more about the Barbarians… This is probably the reason why they were able to advance and create those Totemic Barbarians. They all wanted to get stronger…"
Ignacy replied.
Vincent finally understood why those barbarians launch a suicide attack on the First Black Tower! They were basically forced by the enemies of the Red Alliance Leader in the name of avenging the death of their heir.
"No wonder they seem so desperate with their actions…" Vincent muttered.
"Since you're already aware, don't try to get involved and let the others deal with it… unless they tried getting on your way."
"I understand, Master…" Vincent replied as he left the Tower to get everyone ready!
Since everything has been prepared, they now need to claim the land and clean up all the beasts living in that valley.
Of course, he didn't forget to get the three Cargo Airships they rented from the Black Tower.
These three cargo airships were carrying the necessary materials together with workers to help them build settlements.
Soon, the Stellar Residence became empty as three Cargo Airships together with the Avian Lion and Vermillion Hawk were seen moving towards the northeastern region.
