Novel Bin Chapter 266 Hero
On the next day, Vincent bade his farewell as their Vermillion Hawk headed to the dungeon…
"You\'re excited?" Rem asked seeing how Vincent couldn\'t stay on his seat as they travel through the sky.
"Eh?"
Vincent was startled as he thought that Rem was right. He couldn\'t help but smile as he replied.
"Ahhh… I\'m just curious about these dungeons… They were mysterious places that have been here in this world before you and the other Celestial Beings even arrived. All kinds of artifacts inside these dungeons were difficult to recreate or can\'t be recreated at all. In short, we have a fairly high chance of finding an artifact that I haven\'t seen yet."
"Hmmm… That indeed sounds very interesting… You won\'t be able to appreciate their beauty though." Rem teased as she looked ahead.
Vincent scratched his head in realization as he decided to just sit down and started his visualization method to calm himself…
It didn\'t take very long before they landed near the dungeon. It is located at the center of a valley which is really a good place to build a settlement.
Because this dungeon is owned by the Black Tower, there is obviously an outpost filled with soldiers guarding this area.
It is to make sure that Savage Beasts or even Magic Beasts wouldn\'t destroy the surrounding area of the dungeon and make it accessible to the members of the Black Tower anytime.
As soon as the marvelous red airship landed nearby, the soldiers realized that an important person had arrived.
They have already seen many magicians coming here using a majestic carriage or even dropping from a passenger airship. However, it\'s their first time welcoming someone with their own aircraft. They hurriedly lined up to wait for the guest.
Whoosh~
With a puff of air and mechanical gears activating, the door of the aircraft opened.
A small figure came out and the first they recognized was the familiar design of the Black Tower\'s robe followed by the Blue Emblem on his chest.
The leader of the battalion stationed here became nervous. After all, even those with Red Emblem he had encountered before don\'t have such luxury.
\'Probably a son or disciple of some rich Archon?\' The leader mused as he took a glance at the young man.
He was followed by two beauties who seems to be his servants and he couldn\'t help but feel jealous. The beauty of these two was definitely in a completely different realm than those he had seen in the brothel that he thought to be goddesses already.
This is the first time he realized that someone could be more beautiful than the most expensive courtesan in Heavenly Dew Pavilion!
The leader then took a deep breath as he greeted the young man.
"It\'s an honor to see you here, Senior. I\'m Tadeus, commander of the 27th Tower\'s Fifth Magician Battalion. I\'m currently assigned here to guard the Silent Creek."
Tadeus, a man with long red hair and has a brawny figure, introduced himself with politeness. Though Vincent is obviously younger than him who is approaching his thirties, he still needed to treat him with respect. This is because he\'s only a Gray Emblem member of the Tower.
In his battalion, there were only three with Gray Emblem, and all the others were just trained and recruited outside the tower. They may have received weapons and Mana Arts from the organization, but they were unable to receive the benefits of entering the Tower itself.
"I\'m Vincent. Commander Tadeus, I\'m here to enter the Silent Creek. Is it possible now?" Vincent asked as he used his cane to walk closer.
After three weeks, the cane is already back to its full durability thanks to his recent breakthrough in Soul-Forging Method. Although he now has plenty of other weapons as well, he really likes this wooden staff since he inherited this from his grandfather.
"It might be a bit difficult right now, Sir Vincent. There are already three groups who had entered the dungeon. That is the maximum number of groups that were allowed to enter."
"Hmm? Isn\'t this dungeon rarely gets explorers? How come it suddenly became popular?" Vincent asked as he made a research about this dungeon before he decided to come here.
"That\'s true… However, there is a recent plague in the southern area. I\'m unsure about the severity of the situation but I heard that the 22nd and 24th Towers\' cities were affected."
"Plague? I\'m not aware of that… But, are you saying a cure can be found inside this dungeon?"
"That\'s correct… There is a flower inside called Dispelling Death that was said to be capable of curing the affected. A single petal can cure one person."
Vincent nodded after hearing this. He already knows about this flower.
"If I\'m not mistaken, this kind of flower can only be obtained after destroying a certain golem inside. Can it be obtained infinitely?" Vincent asked.
"Well, there are three known caverns inside where you can get this opportunity. After the flower was taken, it can\'t be harvested again after three weeks. However, if you sacrifice a couple of Magic Cores, the golem that will grant the Dispelling Death will emerge again…"
"That\'s possible?" Vincent was surprised as this seems like a system glitch.
"Yes, Sir Vincent…"
"That\'s so mysterious… and also expensive. Wait, is that really Magic Beast Core and not Savage Beasts? Did I hear it wrong?" Vincent asked in disbelief. He just slowly realized how messed up it was.
He knows how difficult it is to find Magic Beast\'s cores or Magic Nucleus after all!
"It\'s correct… That\'s why there are only three groups here… All the other hunter groups couldn\'t just waste their time waiting for the three weeks cooldown and left to complete different missions instead."
Vincent nodded in understanding as doing nothing while waiting for the flower to be available in three weeks is just too wasteful.
As Vincent was thinking of what to do, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of a mysterious energy at the center of the camp and realized that someone was coming out of the dungeon!
Soon, six figures wearing common hunter clothes appeared from the gate made by a tree.
That\'s right, the entrance to the dungeon this time is a huge tree with a dark cave made of its trunk.
\'Hmm? This is a familiar mana fluctuation… Ahhh. I remember now… Was it Azer? The future hero of mankind?\'
