Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

'Honorary Knight?! How could a villager get such a title so easily? This must be fake!' Maurice thought after seeing the document Vincent brought.

It's indeed not easy to get such a title, especially the one issued by the Count itself.

After all, unlike the King who could issue such a title as much as he can, the Count or other nobles can only give this title to a limited number.

Normally, it would only be given to some unaffiliated Mana Practitioners who greatly contributed to the betterment of the land.

If that was the case, it should have been posted in the newspaper and was spread around the streets.

However, he obviously hasn't heard any of this news in the past few days.

'Right, if I proved that this is a fake, I can---'

As Maurice was devising his plan to get Vincent kicked out, he suddenly heard a euphonious voice calling Vincent's name.

He immediately looked in that direction and found a noblewoman waving in their direction.

There's no doubt that she's calling the Vincent that he knows and not just someone with similar names.

"This…"

Noticing that she's a noble, Maurice decided to shut his mouth and observe the situation.

He carefully observed her and realized that this gorgeous woman seemed to be part of the marching army.

Behind her were her two escorts who had the uniform of the Swordbreaker Army which is the Count's elite soldiers.

"Yvette…" Vincent said after recognizing the woman who called him.

She's not wearing a dress right now but a cloth armor that perfectly fitted to her body. Her ample chest and slender waist can't be hidden at all.

"Vincent. Have you received them? Hmm? Your robe… So you're an Appraiser here?" Yvette just realized that she's indeed in front of the Auction House and he's together with other workers.

"Yes. Thank you, Yvette. However, aren't you going to follow them? Are you going to fight the Celestial Beings?"

"We're planning to capture them this time. But I won't be joining and will only watch on the sidelines… You guys should be careful… Even if the Red Rose Knights and our Swordbreaker Army work together, it won't be guaranteed we can contain them unless father's Celestials can arrive in time."

"Oh…" Vincent couldn't help but raise his brows.

The elite soldiers may not be emitting strong mana fluctuations similar to the Celestials, but with them together, they seem like they are unstoppable.

'So you're telling me that these many soldiers can't still handle a Celestial?' Vincent frowned as he looked at the burning tavern.

Of course, this may not be true as well. If they really fought against the Celestial Beings, they may not be able to defeat the Celestial but they won't be defeated that easily as well if they worked together.

"Alright, I'll leave now. Remember to visit us. My father wanted to meet you…"

With that said, Yvette left with her two escorts as they followed the marching soldiers.

Meanwhile, while all of this was happening, the Commander of the Swordbreaker Army had actually watched everything that has transpired. He only frowned for a bit as he continued his way to his mission.

As soon as they left, Therese, Maurice, Dylan, and other employees of the Auction House then looked at Vincent with confusion visible in their eyes.

"I'm sure that she's wearing the Marshall's emblem!"

"He knows someone from the Marshall Family?!"

"I think I heard him call her Yvette…"

"Count Marshall's daughter?!"

"How could he know her… She even invited him to their house."

Although Yvette would always show up to the public due to various events, it's not easy to see her up close especially with the guards always surrounding her.

However, they have seen her clearly right now and she even spoke to one of the new employees of the Auction House!

They soon remembered Vincent's face so they could befriend him later.

Within the Hearts City, Yvette was considered to be in the top 3 beauties after all. By getting close to Vincent, they might have a chance to meet the beauty again.

Vincent didn't mind all of this as he looked at Therese as she handed over his proof of identity.

"I guess I no longer have to show this…" Vincent muttered as he looked at the Marshall Seal in his hands.

"I didn't expect that you're connected to the Marshall Family. You should've mentioned it yesterday." Therese said as she looked at Yvette's departing figure.

There is no point questioning his background right now as they might even offend the Count at this point.

Even Maurice, who wanted to say something, felt glad that he didn't run his mouth when Yvette came.

***

Soon, the Red Rose Knights arrived at the scene.

They immediately formed a formation to block the Celestials from escaping. Furthermore, several knights decided to bring out a bow. There are no arrows with them but they have mana that they could use!

This is to ensure that the Celestial Beings won't be able to escape easily through flight.

Bam! Bam!

The Celestial Beings had no choice but to leave the tavern and continue the fight outside!

The situation had gotten more serious as the two figures started fighting with extreme speed and they send powerful strikes destroying the surroundings!

"Halt!"

Suddenly, the commanding officer of the Swordbreaker Army shouted.

His shout contains a powerful surge of mana. Even though his army was still three blocks away, the Celestial Beings couldn't help but look at the person who did this.

While the Swordbreaker Army mostly wore white armor with them, this general wore red armor clearly distinguishing himself from the others.

This middle-aged man is emitting a different aura from the rest of the soldiers. He's also a level about the Red Rose Knights which made his presence

"You've gone too far!" He shouted.

He's currently riding his horse as he carefully assessed the situation.

The whole streets have become a mess due to these two fighting without care for their surroundings.

"Even if you two are Celestial Beings, you're not allowed to act like this! Do you really want to be hunted to your death! Stop now and come with us peacefully." The man said as he gestured to his soldiers to capture the two Celestial Beings.

However, before they could even act, the two Celestials started fighting each other again!

The Celestial Being who wore the black and yellow armor struck the shoulder of the Celestial Being on metallic gray and blue armor.

It happened so quickly that the latter was unable to act in time…

"Aahhh!" Everyone heard the voice of the female Celestial as she clutched her shoulders in pain…

Nevertheless, it was too late! The people already saw the number on her shoulder!

"That's… That's a Numbered Celestial!"
