Chapter 74 Plans
"Not good!"
Count Miller realized that it wasn't just a normal earthquake as he immediately looked at the person behind him.
"Go down and see what's going on! This place will be destroyed at this rate!" Count Miller shouted to his female escort.
'Hmm? When did she get there?'
Vincent only noticed now that there is actually a blonde woman behind the Count. It was as if her presence was completely erased before she was called out.
"Count, do you know what's going on?" Vincent asked as he saw the woman disappear without a word.
At this time, the shaking already stopped but the Mana Fluctuation from somewhere was still present and going stronger.
Count Miller frowned as he just made a guess about the situation. He wasn't sure if his intuition was right so decided to just reassure everyone.
"Don't worry. It's probably a problem in our formation brought by the recent problem we encountered."
"Oh, is it related to the thieves before?"
"Yes… They have damaged the villa's Core Barrier and it seems that we haven't been able to repair it properly. Anyway, I already sent someone to deal with it. There shouldn't be a problem arising now."
Count Miller announced proudly.
If Vincent would make a guess, the female escort just now was probably their unnumbered Celestial Being so Count Miller was assured that everything will be fine.
"Right, I would like to thank you again. Although we have sent you a few pieces of gold and documents for your proof of identity, I think that it wasn't enough considering you've saved my precious daughter's life."
"No, it's more than enough, Count Miller. I'm really grateful for it. As a matter of fact, I'm here to give you this as I would like to make another request."
Vincent said as he handed the Mid-Grade Tier 3 Medicinal Pill to the Count…
"This is…"
Yvette looked at the pill and realized that it has a very strong medicinal scent although it is still in an enclosed bottle.
It means that Vincent had used a low-grade bottle to store a high-grade medicinal pill!
She then immediately took action as she ordered one of her servants/
"Bring an empty jade box here. Hurry…"
The female servant hurriedly returned to the villa to get a jade box from the butler.
"Is this a Mana Gathering Pill? A Tier 3?" Count Miller raised his brows as he asked curiously after observing the pill.
Tier 1 pills can normally be seen circulating in the market. As for Tier 2 pills, there were some of them but are quite expensive, and only in some apothecaries or shops can they be seen. They were even being imported from another city.
As for Tier 3 pills? There is not a single Tier 2 Alchemist in this city so a Tier 3 Alchemist is already out of the question. It means that Vincent somehow had a connection to a Tier 3 Alchemist or he knows a trader connected to one.
"This is indeed a Tier 3 Medicinal Pill. s As expected of the Count. You easily recognized the pill. This is a Mid-Grade Tier 3 Mana Gathering Pill. I'm giving this as a gift… and if you don't mind, I needed a bit of help regarding this one person within the Auction House."
Vincent then proceeded to explain his trouble with Maurice who was connected to some shady Mercenary Groups.
The female servant who went to take a jade box returned as soon as he finished telling them his story.
"Hmmm… Don't worry about that, my father will handle it for you. Right, let me put the pill here in the jade box." Yvette said as she carefully took the pill out and transferred it to the jade box.
"This is a precious pill, Vincent. Are you sure that you want to give this to us?" Count Miller asked politely.
"Yes… I'm not even a Master Magician yet. So it's quite useless to me to have this kind of medicinal pill considering my Mana Capacity is only so little."
"Oh~ You're right… This is indeed more suited to Adept Mages or even Archmages. However, your request is too simple. I can handle that despicable Maurice guy even without you giving me this pill. How about this… since you have terrible talent in practicing Mana, you probably need a practical weapon or equipment to protect yourself from harm. Do you have any requests? You don't have to be shy… Our treasury is quite impressive." Count Miller said as he has no intention of returning the Tier 3 Pill as well.
Their house has several Adept Mages and the Red Rose Knight affiliated with them even has an Arc Knight. This pill will definitely be useful for them and perhaps, it could even increase their Mana Cultivation.
"This… I'm not looking for particular equipment, but I would be thankful if you can provide me with a Magician Robe." Vincent said after thinking for a moment.
The Count immediately agreed as he personally left to find a suitable Magician Robe for Vincent.
He then used this time to ask Yvette about Zemin Clan's current situation.
After all, he still wanted to see his arranged marriage partner.
If they are indeed in danger just like what Yvette said, it might be too late for him and what might welcome him is an annihilated clan instead.
He couldn't let that happen!
As Yvette was recalling all the information she knew about the Zemin Clan in the northern part of the kingdom, Count Miller also returned with the Magician Robe and added his thoughts about the Clan in question.
Vincent learned a lot of things from them thanks to their wide network of connections.
After staying in the villa for an hour, he finally decided to leave while carrying the new Magician Robe given to him.
"Haa~ I didn't think that they are not in a good situation. I need to hurry. Since the Zemin Clan is being eyed by the Rebel Army, it's only a matter of time before they face a huge battle for their survival."
Vincent muttered as he planned his journey to the north.
