"I should probably make more of that…" Vincent muttered as he thought of searching for more Magic Sealing Crystals.
He only has three of them remaining after all.
As for the supplier of the Echo Blast… It wouldn't be a problem since it's from Millie. He can also ask Ceri for that so he has no issues as long as he has the sealing crystal with him.
Anyway, seeing that everyone is celebrating, he also felt happy as he called the Celestials in his residence to finish the contract with them.
He decided to take all the responsibility with the Celestial Beings so he wouldn't be asking others to get contracted with one of them.
In any case, he can just request for the Celestials to take care of his trusted companions if they really needed some help.
"Hmmm… So the highest Numbered Celestial you recruited was her… Number 442." Vincent muttered as he looked at the cloaked Celestial in front of him…
Currently, his highest ranked Celestial is Number 80 which is Luna… Followed by Numbers 442, 778, 815, 833, and lastly, 999 which is Tara.
All the others were Unnumbered Celestial Beings.
Vincent finished contracting with them and asked a few questions. Since these Celestials were probably roaming this continent for a long time, he felt that he could get some answers from them.
"Just in case, have you encountered a sleeping Celestial? I mean, the one that's still resting in her Sleeping Chamber?" Vincent asked as he sat down on his couch.
Yulia also arrived serving them some refreshments so they can focus on their meeting.
"Hmm… I've seen one when I was still roaming around the Martial Arts Alliance's territory… It's now buried deep underground after a strong earthquake occurred three years ago."
"I've also seen one in a dungeon… I didn't bother waking her up since she might've been parasitized"
"I'm sorry… I haven't seen one."
Three of the Unnumbered answered and the others remained quiet and only shook their heads.
'Well, I guess it's not that easy to encounter them, huh…'
Vincent thought as he looked at the Celestial who said she saw one in the dungeon.
Unlike the other Celestials who were bright and beautiful, this one looks gloomy with her black hair and fringe covering her eyes. She's standing out in a completely different way than the others.
"Have you also encountered a Celestial that was parasitized by Xonids?" Vincent asked.
"Hmm? That's correct… They were Xonids. It seems that you've also met them. My first encounter with them was more than six years ago… Since that day, I decided not to disturb any chamber I'll encounter."
"I see… We've also encountered a Xonid and ended up killing the Celestial with it… Right, do you have a method to save these Celestials that have a parasite?"
"No… Perhaps the Overseer might be able to do something but it seems that something went wrong with him after the first war against the guardians of this world… He's acting strange so it's better not to make contact with him for now." Number 442 answered.
Even Number 80 didn't know that much about the Overseer so Vincent was a bit surprised.
"Ho~ So you know this much…"
Vincent then shared what he knows about the Overseer and the others also shared their knowledge. Well, he would later inform Krusk about this since he has a unique mission of killing the Overseer.
It seems that all of them were at least aware that the Overseer has been closing multiple dungeons around the continent…
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 'Wait… Is he actually trying to prevent the Dungeon Outbreak by destroying the dungeons itself?' Vincent mused as this might indeed be related to that disaster.
Unfortunately, he has no way of confirming this but in any case, he can only hope that all the dungeons being closed are those dangerous or useless.
After all, there are still dungeons that would constantly supply them with precious resources like herbs and ores. Without them, it would greatly affect the market and the raw materials that he needed would become more expensive.
"Are you still thinking of increasing the number of your contracted Celestials? You might have a problem supporting us…" Number 442 said as she looked at Vincent.
"Eh? Luna, did you not mention Tara and the other group to her?" Vincent asked.
"Oh… I don't think it's important… I also thought that they'll be here before us.." Luna replied as she started to explain to them about the two other groups who were also looking for Celestial Being…"
"What? Are you planning to build a second Qheglena?"
"Won't you have a problem providing us those Mystic Link Serums? I mean the unique potions…"
The new Celestials asked in concern.
Vincent can't help but smile as he didn't expect that it would seem like that to them. If he remembers correctly, Qheglena was the name of the spaceship that the Celestials were using before. It should be under the Overseer's watch right now.
"Don't worry about the supply of potions… I have a special way of procuring them… In any case, I really need the strength of Celestial Beings… Especially right now when I'm about to get hunted by an unknown enemy." Vincent said… He really doesn't know about the identities of his real enemies so he can only prepare as much as he can.
Vincent chatted with the group of Celestial for a few more hours before sending them out to familiarize themselves with the city.
He has a lot to ask them since he wanted to hear about the situation outside the city and he wanted to know a bit about their abilities as well.
What's more important is that he asked them about Ayla… Unfortunately, they don't know about transformation skills and have no idea why she looks like Celestial Number 999 during that time.
"It's very weird… Perhaps Celestial Tara would know about this…" Luna frowned as she replied mysteriously. It was as if she knows something but can't fully express it.
Anyway, he can only leave it at that.
He later informed the Alchemy Department to produce more potions. Luckily, Faviona and Dianne are currently in the city and were willing to help produce more potions…
Since he's not asking for Mid-Grade or High-Grade potions, their production has gone incredibly fast.
He wouldn't even mind if they are producing Poor Quality potions since he can just improve them later on.
***
Three days after Luna and Rem's group returned, another group of Celestials finally returned… However, another problem has occurred!
Tara is missing!
