Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer-Chapter 481 Agatha

Before Lucia and Katea went to Vincent's residence, Agatha noticed them walking in caution…

It seems they were anxious and also excited to meet Vincent.

'Are they going to ask for an advance payment?' Agatha mused…

She had just consumed a bottle of golden healing potion last night and it was truly refreshing… Well, it didn't just contain healing attributes after all.

The replenishment of Celestial Energy was fast, clean, and has better side effects on her body.

It was so much better than refining blood essence to increase their Celestial Energy.

She also heard from Luna that consuming the potion multiple times wouldn't create some sort of antibodies in their system and will always be 100% efficacy.

It was truly similar to their Mystic Link Serum. The only difference is that the serum they know is more potent and expensive.

Today, she was tasked by someone in the Kayser Tower to visit the lake and guard it… She wasn't sure why she has to guard it but she can only guess that there might be something valuable deep within the lake or at least nearby.

She then glanced at the Tower for a moment and felt a mysterious power lingering around it… It feels as if the Tower can observe everything that is happening within the city.

Well, she wouldn't doubt that since she knows that the current magic technology should be capable of doing that.

"Ahhh… Miss Celestial, are you going to the lake right now?"

A young lady suddenly approached her as she realized that she was being too carefree. She actually didn't notice her presence until she had gotten so near!

'Did I get so comfortable after entering this city? That's dangerous…' Agatha thought as she made a quick check on the lady only to realize that she was quite strong!

She had hidden it really well but she's definitely a Grand Knight!

It is a profession of Mana Practitioner that normally requires several decades of training before someone could achieve it.

However, she can tell that she's really just young according to her bone age.

'A very talented human, huh…'

"Hmm… I'm going to the lake. Is there a problem?" Agatha asked. Since she couldn't feel any form of hostility, she decided to answer her question.

"Well… Last night, a few Celestials went to the lake and disturb the one living there… It caused quite a commotion, especially to the nearby residences… If possible, can you not practice any of your Martial Arts or techniques on the lake?"

Before Agatha can even answer, the young lady continued.

"Ahh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Millie, I'm a Grand Knight and part of Vincent's Private Guards."

"Millie… Alright, I will remember that. But can you tell me who's living near the lake?" Agatha curiously asked. If it's someone who can't be offended, it's better to know about it right now.

After all, the Celestials didn't receive some briefings or tours from the others. They really have to explore the city themselves to learn more about it.

"Of course… There is a powerful beast inside the lake… However, he's not a pet but Vincent's ally instead… I was told that they reached some sort of agreement so it will protect the city if it's in danger."

"Hmm? A Guardian Beast? I heard that some large sects or noble clans have that sort of being living in their territory. I didn't expect Vincent would have one. Is he part of a royal family?" Agatha couldn't help but ask.

Of course, Millie knows Vincent's background since they were childhood friends so she immediately shook her head.

"He didn't mention anything to me but I'm sure he has many secrets. Alright, I'm also visiting the lake so we can go together." Millie replied. She felt that she can't just reveal Vincent's secrets to her so she decided to vaguely answer.

"I'll follow you. Wait… Is that a rifle? I heard that it was still in trial and only the pistols are available." She asked while following Millie.

She noticed that the weapon on Millie's back wasn't actually a sword but a rifle.

"It is still in the trial period… He mentioned that it was a bit too weak and may not penetrate a defensive-type Magic Beast's Mana Barrier even after emptying a full round. I think that he's planning to change the materials to make these…"

"Incredible… Did he find a blueprint in the dungeon to make these things?"

"That seems to be the case, however, it doesn't seem to have happened recently. Perhaps he found it when he was still in the Tudor Kingdom. Aaahh… Look! He's leaving…"

Millie suddenly exclaimed at the end of her sentence as Agatha's mouth went wide open after seeing the "Guardian Beast" that Millie told her just now.

"I-is that the beast you mentioned?! Isn't that a Mythical Beast?" 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

What she was seeing right now is a huge River Dragon with shining blue scales.

Although it was suppressing its innate beastly aura, she was able to sense it with her unique trait no matter how he hide it.

"That's correct, it's a Mythical Beast… The Celestials Beings last night seem to have offended him so I'm planning to meet him to give him some gifts… I guess I was too late…" Millie muttered as she saw the River Dragon leave the city… 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

It is quite surprising since she knows that Krusk wouldn't leave the lake easily. The only time he would be considering leaving his territory is when he wants to transform into a human and walk around the streets to enjoy some delicious food or when Vincent requested him to do so.

"What are your plans now?" Agatha asked as she looked at the dragon leave the city.

"I'll probably join the Beast Extermination Team to test this rifle in live combat…"

Millie paused for a moment as she looked at Agatha's questioning look.

"Ah, it's a team that will normally clear the path to Nidite City… Although airships are available, they are too expensive to operate so we normally use carriages to commute. We have to ensure that even if our transportation encounters Savage Beasts, there wouldn't be too many of them." She immediately added after recalling that this Celestial had just arrived here and doesn't know a lot of things.

"I see… I guess there are many things I don't know…" Agatha muttered.

After a while, the two of them separated as she went to the lakeshore while Millie left to find the Extermination Team.

Just fifteen minutes after they separated, she saw the dragon returning to the lake and started looking at her with wariness.
