Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Tara, Rem, and Luna also looked really serious after seeing the gathering dark clouds above the tower. It seems that it hasn't stopped accumulating at all and it is still getting larger and larger.

"Sir Vincent, should we land outside the city?" Yasin asked. He's co-piloting this aircraft with Rem and their original plan was to dock at the Tower's designated place. However, he feels like it is not a good idea to get near that area.

Vincent sighed as he could certainly understand Yasin's worry.

"Alright… Just find a good spot then. In any case, it does seem a lot better if we land outside..."

Yasin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his approval. He immediately found a good spot to land and guided the aircraft there…

In the meantime, the Sky Guards who were thinking of stopping the Vermillion Hawk from entering the airspace of the city realized that the aircraft suddenly slowed down and docked at a nearby plain.

There have been many visitors who were intimidated by the dark clouds of the Black Tower and did this same thing so they weren't too surprised.

They can only laugh thinking that a bunch of scaredy-cats had arrived here again.

"Haha! Another group of weaklings wanted to participate in the Immortal Project…"

"Tsk… They already got scared just from the gathering storm… I wonder which family is this from?"

"Shut up… Be careful of your words. If they are able to obtain Immortal Stones, they must have an important background."

"Hmph… It's not like they can hear us from here."

The group of guards couldn't help but make fun of Vincent's group. Nevertheless, they still have to meet them since they were informed that they have to welcome those people who have been invited to the immortal project.

Their group of five immediately went to meet the visitors to the tower.

"Eh?" Their leader saw Vincent's group going out of the aircraft and he was stunned. He knows this person and he recalls that he wasn't involved with the Immortal Project at all. If he was, he would've been informed beforehand.

After all, he had almost searched his residence by force. He would certainly not think of doing that if he knows that he was participating in the project.

"Commander Ersin? Are you okay?" One of his subordinates noticed his unusual behavior.

"Tsk… Can't you remember them from the First Tower? They're from the Stellar Residence of the First Tower…" He answered.

"Ahh… Now that I think about it… Isn't he the disciple of the Tower Lord?"

"Y-you're right…"

This surprised Ersin for a moment. His subordinates were right… The man certainly fits the description of the new disciple of the Tower Lord.

The name of the owner of the Stellar Residence was also the same as his. Ersin then recalled how he made an invitation for this man to enter the Dragon Rider Squad when VIncent was still studying at the Black Tower.

He was only a squad captain before while Vincent was only a student… He couldn't help but smile as he approached the group and introduced himself.

Anyway, he decided to be professional with his work and guided Vincent's group to the tower. Although he's already the commander of the Dragon Rider's Third Battalion, it's nothing in front of the Tower Lord's direct disciple.

"Don't mind the others, they will only look around the city and perhaps purchase some souvenirs. Only the two of us will go." Vincent said as he gestured to the white-haired lady in front of them…

This lady appears very average in their eyes… She was certainly not at the level of Manager Yulia that he had met before.

"Alright… I'll bring the both of you to the Tower. Please follow me." Ersin said as he signaled for his men to follow Vincent's subordinates.

Although Vincent did not notice this, he was able to tell that a group of people started watching over Rem and Tara who immediately separated from them.

Vincent only smiled as he continued on his way to the tower. He's a little bit nervous after seeing the dark sky but he's also quite excited now that he's getting closer to the tower.

As soon as he entered the Black Tower, he noticed that the suppression in his senses was weaker… It is almost negligible so he found it quite surprising… He's unsure whether he had just gotten stronger or this Tower's Formation Art was just weaker than the First Tower.

The two of them were then brought to the second floor.

"I can only guide you up until here. Once you entered that door, the Administrator will be assisting you."

"Alright. Thank you, Commander Ersin." Vincent said as he walked forward with the help of his walking cane.

"Let me…" Luna said as she approached the door and opened it without even knocking. Well, it doesn't seem necessary in her case and Vincent didn't mind it at all.

He entered the hall and immediately used his Item Sense ability.

He doesn't want to use his Mana Sense or Aura Sense since he knows that it's not at the level where it could hide from the sensitive sense of the magicians in this tower.

At the very least, he doesn't want to offend them yet.

"You're finally here, Sir Vincent…" An old man suddenly approached him. This person didn't glance at the average-looking girl beside him so Vincent was able to confirm that his magic tool was really effective. Normally, people will turn their gazes to Luna once they have seen her. However, it's obviously not the case today.

"I'm indeed Vincent… May I know if you're the administrator?"

"That's correct. You can call me, Administrator Bon, before I bring you to the Immortal Project's area, I would like to thank you for creating those potions… If not for your timely supply of Fairer Potions, we would've succumbed to the Black Decay and delayed this project even further." The old man said as he slightly bowed to thank Vincent's efforts.

"Oh… That was good to hear…" Vincent replied with a stiff smile on his face as he confirmed with his Item Sense ability that three people are watching them secretly.

Vincent's group was then brought to a secret passage leading to another space as if he entered a dungeon… That's right, after entering several dungeons including the First Tower's secret library, he's already familiar with this sensation of passing through some sort of warp.

'That's not a good start...' Vincent thought as this normally means that he can only rely on these people to get out.
