Chapter 430 Tower Core
Mana Practitioners have other professions aside from being a Magic Knight or a Magician.
They can be Pill Masters, Potion Masters, Formation Experts, Appraisers, Tamers, and the most popular among them were the Magic Craftsmen.
These people were capable of creating weapons that can enhance the powers of any Mana Practitioners...
Scepters, Swords, Spears, Arrows, Talismans, or any equipment and accessories can be turned into Magic Tools by these Magic Craftsmen.
They can either modify these items to turn them into Magic Items or make them from the scratch…
Vincent was very interested to do this but because it takes a lot of time and patience to learn how to do it, he decided to just enhance the items he can purchase for a few silver coins… It was much more efficient.
Although the designs may not be to his liking, he felt that what really matters are their attributes and effects.
However, now that he recalls it, he wanted to scold himself as he wasn't thinking far ahead… If he learned Magic Crafting earlier, he can create new and advanced items… Furthermore, he wouldn't lack firepower if he did that in the first place.
Once he can create magic weapons of his own, his imagination will only be his limit…
Anyway, Vincent found the best teacher in the city, it was Professor Levent who was also his teacher in Arcane Mysteries class.
"Magic Crafting is actually easy if you're only planning to create Uncommon or Rare grade Magic Items… However, there is going to be a huge obstacle when learning to create a Unique Grade and above… You should prepare yourself for many failures. There will be a lot of materials to be wasted to learn so you have to keep it in mind.
Professor Levent explained as she wanted to condition Vincent's mind. After all, it would be a waste if Vincent just decided to give up in the middle of his training.
"I understand, Professor… Don't worry, I won't stop learning even if it is hard."
"Good… Magic Crafting takes a lot of time so you have to ensure that you finish all your important matters before diving into it… If you were too engrossed in it, a day or two may even pass without your knowledge while you're crafting..."
"Ugh… Isn't a bit too—"
"It's not an exaggeration…" Professor Levent proudly said as she pump up her chest. It was as if she telling that she experienced it herself.
"Alright… I have to learn it before I visit the Star Garden Peak…" Vincent muttered as he felt that if he plans to leave the city in the next two months, he has to ensure that this city can stand strong even against an army of Barbarian Kings and Mage Battalions from the Black Magic Organization.
Vincent spent his time learning Magic Crafting from Levent and this continued for another two weeks…
During this time, Ayla and Dianne have already recovered and are doing their work. Ayla decided to help Severin from time to time but Vincent asked her to just focus on her enhancements research.
As for Ayla's identity, Vincent tried to ask her about it but she only said that she can't remember what happened or why she was unconscious at that time. She also explained that she was really just her and wasn't hiding her identity…
Of course, Vincent didn't give up.
He brought Guven to confirm this. He wanted to ensure that she wasn't lying but in end, he felt sorry for not believing Ayla. Guven didn't find any falsehood in her claims and she doesn't know about her slight transformation, or perhaps, her memories were somehow tampered with.
In the end, Vincent can only leave it at that and perhaps ask Tara later on…
With regards to the matter of the 14th Tower Master that he captured, his interrogation took a lot more time than expected because of his resistance to drugs and other types of potions that would make him talk.
His Mana Body was no joke… He managed to last for so many days before they managed to get something from him…
"So there are actually four Avatars..." Calidia muttered after hearing the report.
In her hands right now was a list of information that they obtained from the Tower Master.
What was even more surprising is that one of the Avatars was actually killed during their confrontation with the new Tower Lord… Mikhail Tal had actually sacrificed the 15th Tower's core to destroy one of the Avatars and create an escape path for them.
This news brought happiness to Brycen and Shane who had tried to investigate what happened in the 15th Tower after their observing magic tool was destroyed.
The news about Mikhail's escape was worth a celebration. The only concern right now is that Ignacy hasn't woken up yet…
It seems that passing over the powers of the Tower Lord to another was really a dangerous move… He might've even died if Vincent did not cure him with his +10 Health Recovery Potions.
"If a single Tower Core can kill an Avatar, then this will be easy, right? There are 36 Towers Available… We just need to sacrifice a few of them to win…" Rufia suggested as she felt that this is a good method to end this war.
"It's not as easy as that… The new Tower Lord might've even sacrificed a part of his life to use the Core as a weapon. There was no way he can keep doing that without paying a price."
Calidia answered as she finished reading the paper.
Right now, they have confirmed that the Black Magic Organization had already taken over half of the Barbarian Race as well.
This is alarming news considering how their city lacks the necessary capabilities to defend itself from continuous assault. If they were really surrounded by the full force of the Black Magic Organization… They would certainly lose tragically unless the Celestial Beings that Vincent had sent out decided to appear with a bunch of other Celestials accompanying their return.
As Calidia was checking the status of the reconstruction of their new defensive Formations brought by Lola, a piece of good news had finally arrived.
The Sea King was willing to form an alliance with the One Sea Merchant Union to bring down the Barbarian Race!
