Chapter 602 Maxime
On the same day that he requested to meet another Manipulator of the Kayser family, Vincent was visited by the person he was waiting for.
It was Maxime Kayser, a Diamond Tier Manipulator of the Sacred Garden Peak.
The reason for seeking the man was simple. He was thinking of asking this person to help him choose the Manipulators that he will be bringing with him.
After all, there are still elders that might be thinking of doing something to him. He would rather get an opinion from someone that might be related to him.
In any case, Sage Vivian hinted to him that the other Kaysers would be happy to meet him as well.
'I hope that he's approachable similar to Vivian…' Vincent mused as he waited for Luna to return with the visitor. He ordered her to escort him to the reception hall where they can chat peacefully.
Currently, Agatha is in the city with Dianne as he ordered her to buy some things for him. They can be magic tools, potions, automatons, or anything they wanted.
In any case, he only wanted to have a few things where he could use his system skills, his Transcendence Skill to be exact.
This 3rd Stage of his Item Awakening Skill is quite difficult to level up. Furthermore, most of the items he's trying to transcend would actually be destroyed.
Out of 20 items, only 1 of them would survive the Transcendence so he needed plenty of items.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
As he started having some random thoughts, he heard the footsteps of the two…
Soon, he saw a man in his fifties who seemed to be a normal villager because of his average clothing... If not for his large build and scars on his body, he would think that this person is just a servant in this residence.
"Ahem… Good evening Sir Maxime. I'm Vincent Kayser… Thank you for coming here."
"Mhmm… We've finally met. Vivian mentioned you to me… I've also watched your battle a while ago. That was an incredible match. I didn't expect that you can use a genuine Celestial Armor. Others might be thinking that it's only an imitation but I can tell that it's the real one." Maxime said as he gently smiled at Vincent.
"It's indeed a true Celestial Armor… I didn't know that they were thinking of it as an imitation… I guess it wasn't that surprising."
"Yes… The Magic Technicians here have a few devices or items used by Celestial Beings in their possession. Of course, they were from dead Celestial Beings… They're either in a form of a small chamber, a cube, or even armor. They have a better understanding of how these items work so they won't believe that your armor is similar to those used by the Celestials."
Maxime explained as he shook his head and added. "Anyway, you called me here for assistance to build a squad of Manipulators that will accompany you, right?"
"Ahh… That's right… Some of the elders seem to have bad intentions so I can't be confident with their choices so it's better if I ask someone's assistance regarding this."
Maxime nodded in understanding and replied thoughtfully.
"It's not a problem for me to help you with that. However, just like what the elders mentioned, we can't let you borrow our Diamond Tier. We also have to deal with the remnant members of the Creed and we will also be hunting for the secret location of those otherworldly beings."
"I understand. I also heard that the dungeon outbreak is getting near. Sending out your Diamond Tier Manipulators would create a huge imbalance in your forces. Right, speaking of which, the man I fought a while ago, is he really a half-automaton?"
Vincent finally had the chance to ask.
"Ohh? You actually noticed?" Maxime asked in surprise after hearing the question.
"I almost failed to notice. Thankfully, my dagger briefly distorted his cloak's concealing effect. I almost thought that he was unkillable." Vincent replied with a smile.
"No wonder…" Maxime nodded as he continued. "It's possible to use automatons as a replacement for limbs or other parts of your body… Although the Potion Alchemy isn't in a good condition here, the Mechanical Alchemy is still quite more advanced than the other nations. I can assure you of that."
"Mechanical Alchemy…" Vincent repeated as he finally had the answer. It seems that this nation has a lot more things to offer other than Automatons and Spirit Stones.
Soon, the two Kaysers discussed the creation of the team. Luckily, Maxime has a student that is already a Platinum Tier Manipulator. This person can lead 10 Crystal Tier Manipulators to join Vincent's team.
Of course, they will need a few days to prepare for this since they will be leaving their homes.
Vincent isn't that cruel so he allowed them to prepare for a whole week. In any case, he wasn't in a hurry to leave… He wanted to see whether this city can offer more surprises to help him level up his Transcendence Skill.
Yes, he was thinking of purchasing Magic Beast's Cores since they are equivalent to Transcendence Crystals.
These cores may be valuable here but they weren't as expensive as the ones sold in the Black Tower.
He believes that someone would even trade their Magic Beast Core for his high-grade potions.
On the next day, Vincent woke up late since he finished his Enhancements, Ascencions, and Transcendence after Agatha returned late in the evening.
During her shopping, she found several Iron Tier Automatons being sold and bought 5 of them. There are also some clothes and bags that were quite modern in Vincent's eyes. As for the potions, all of them are basically of poor quality and many of them are actually those that are diluted.
Of course, it doesn't matter to Vincent so he didn't mind the low-quality item. The other things Agatha bought were weapons meant for humanoid Automatons.
Unfortunately, about 80% of the items she brought had been destroyed by his Transcendence Skill. Only some weapons and potions survived his skill.
"Alright, I'm going out as well this time… I heard from Sir Maxime yesterday that there's a place where I can exchange potions for Magic Beast Cores. Luna and Agatha, you don't have to join me. Just continue with your tasks or shopping today."
