Chapter 181 The Followers
"Qheglena…" Vincent repeated the name after hearing the story from Tara.
Currently, they are all in the renovated garden quite near the well.
Tara had decided to tell the story that she heard from the Followers of Qheglena.
This made Vincent understand that Tara is also subjected to the Celestial's instinctive rules imprinted on their bodies.
It appears that Tara can't inform them of what memories she unlocked unless someone already mentioned it to them…
What made him think of that?
It was simply because the questions that she would normally ignore are now something she willingly tells.
"Qheglena is the name of our spacecraft so Number 12 probably used that name to attract other Celestials or she just doesn't know what name she would give to herself."
Tara commented.
"Hmm… I seem to have recalled something after you mentioned Qheglena. You're right. It's not a name of a Celestial… Do you think Number 12 left them some clues about the spaceship's whereabouts?"
Rem said referring to Calidia and the others.
"I didn't ask them about it. They are still hiding in a dilapidated building somewhere in the central part of the city."
"I see…"
While the two Celestial were reminiscing their past about their spaceship. Vincent started making plans in his mind.
First of all, he wanted to meet these Followers of Qheglena.
Not only are they loyal to Celestial Beings, but they are also a group filled with talents. Whether the experiment on them was cruel or not, they still somehow benefited now that they have skills and talents that you can't find even in the large clans like Zemin Clan.
If he decided to give them a hand while they are currently in such a difficult situation, they would certainly be grateful. As long as they have a good environment to grow, they might even become powerful Mana Practitioners.
'The only problem is their personality… Even if they worship a Celestial, they might not be decent people. They might even be criminals that were selected by the researchers because they already have a death sentence or something…' Vincent wasn't sure about the researchers of the Fifteenth Tower.
He can't just blindly believe them and think that this group is completely innocent after all.
His final opinion of this group can wait until they met.
If he felt that the danger of taking them in is tolerable, then he might decide to give them a hand… or perhaps for Tara to give them some assistance.
In the meantime, he wanted to hear about the other matter that Tara had mentioned.
"Tara, bring Calidia here, or whoever their leader is. I want to meet them first... Then, can you now tell me about the Celestial Weapon you said that is being auctioned?"
This time, even Rem's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Even though she already has a Celestial Sword, she couldn't help but be excited after knowing that there is a nearby Celestial Weapon.
"Yes. It's true. It was on the list being advertised by the Nexus Auction House. There is no other information about what kind of weapon it was so I can't tell you more. However, there are two other items there that you might be interested in, it's a Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill and a Magus Essence Potion…"
Vincent was indeed curious about these two.
"Hmm? I know a little about the pill based on its name but it's my first time hearing about the magus essence potion…"
With that, Tara explained what she read about the potion. Yulia and Severin, who was an expert in alchemy, gasped after recognizing the essence potion that Tara just said.
"A potion that can increase one's aptitude… That's incredible. I heard about a method that could do the same in the kingdom but it's not a potion. It was a special mana spring… I didn't think that there is a potion that could actually do that." Severin wryly smiled after hearing such a miraculous effect that a potion could have.
"That's right… I also heard about the Cold Mana Spring. This is my first time hearing about the Magus Essence Potion. As expected of this powerful continent." Yulia sighed in admiration.
"When will the auction be, Tara?"
"It will be in two more weeks, Vincent."
"Hmm… So we only have a little time to gather enough money. Can we even participate in this bidding war? Any of those three would certainly cost a lot of money." Vincent sighed after recalling that they barely have enough money with them.
They have to immediately start doing business.
It seems that his only option was to sell his Epic Items in his Obisidian Treasure Box. If truly needed, he also has a few Pseudo-Legendary items that can be sold
He can't miss the opportunity to get the essence potion after all.
Once he further enhanced and ascended that potion, he could imagine that it would be several times better than the Mana Upheaval Potion he consumed before.
Tara then returned to the building occupied by the Followers of Qheglena.
In the meantime, Vincent, Yulia, and Severin discussed their plans to earn more money. Even if they can't gather enough money to purchase the Top 3 Items to be auctioned off, they might still find impressive items in this large event.
***
In the dilapidated building where Calidia and the others are hiding, a cloaked figure appeared on top of it.
"Hmm? There's more of them?" Tara muttered after realizing that there weren't just 16 of them and it had increased by 10 more.
At this point, her arrival had also been noticed by the one who had also set up the barrier within the building.
At the man's warning, some of them immediately hide their presence while the others returned to their act as beggars.
Tara then approached the group that has been frightened like chickens.
Only after a few seconds did they confirm that it was the Celestial Being who had arrived as they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Celestial, so it was you…" Calidia immediately went to Tara's side.
"Yes… Tell me, why are there 10 more people here? Are they also part of your group?" Tara asked.
"You're right, Celestial. They are also Followers of Qheglena. However, these people weren't part of the Incarnation Project. They were just normal practitioners who were also revering the existence of the Celestials. We met them when we were traveling and they helped us enter this city, the perfect place to hide from the Fifteenth Tower's Magicians." Calidia explained.
Tara didn't think too much of it as it would indeed make sense that someone assisted them to get here. She then explained her plan to bring their leader to meet Vincent.
Soon, Tara together with Calidia and another two people left the building and went to meet Vincent at the Stellar Residence.
