Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 178 Followed



"Tara, are you going out?" Yulia asked after seeing Tara walking to the gate.

Currently, the Stellar Residence is quite busy as the renovation hasn\'t been completed yet. Although they already have new pieces of furniture inside, the walls, the garden, the hall, and even the interior decorations still needed some fixing.

There are many workers inside their estate right now and Yulia is managing them all.

Tara looked around the state of their residence before answering.

"It\'s a bit rowdy here. I\'ll just look around the market."

"Great! Can you find auction house or any large store today? Vincent asked me to check the place if there are interesting items to be auctioned off in a few days. I think he was looking for some potions that might help his eyes recover. I\'m quite busy so--"

"It\'s alright. I\'ll check the auction house and some other shops for you."

Tara replied with a nod as she left the estate. They currently have a carriage and two horses in their stable but Tara decided to just walk since she wasn\'t in a hurry.

Nevertheless, it took her over half an hour to arrive at the vicinity of the Auction House.

Currently, she\'s wearing a maroon cloak that not only covers her body but also affects her state of presence. Although people could still see her, most of them would just ignore her presence making it a lot easier for her to move around outside the Stellar Residence.

This is just one of the useful items that Tara and Rem managed to get from Vincent.

\'Nexus Auction House… This should be the biggest one around here.\' Tara mused after reading the name of the establishment.

There are a few other small auction houses but she decided to ignore them instead. She believes that a potion that might be able to help Vincent should only appear in this luxurious establishment that is filled with guards and powerful mana practitioners.

As she was planning to check the place and read the noticeboard outside, she suddenly felt someone looking at her.

She glanced in the direction where she felt where the gaze was coming from only to see the crowded marketplace. They were all busy. Many people were looking around the various peddler\'s mats and stalls that some of the merchants set up.

She didn\'t find anyone suspicious.

\'Was it my imagination? No, definitely not. But perhaps, they only noticed that I\'m using a magic tool to weaken my presence. Did they get interested in my cloak?\'

She mused.

They have just arrived here at the First Tower\'s City so she shouldn\'t have any enemies targeting her. The matter regarding Silas was also settled easily and she heard from Vincent that the man has returned to the third tower after getting a new emblem.

In short, she doesn\'t think that she\'s being targeted right now.

With that in mind, she continued walking to the Auction House\'s entrance gate and checked the noticeboard beside it.

\'There will be magic artifacts and… huh? Celestial Weapon to be auctioned off?\' Tara froze the moment she read the items to be sold.

Celestial Weapons can\'t be easily acquired.

Furthermore, once someone possessed such an item, the fated Celestial would certainly do their best to take it from them.

\'How is this possible? Perhaps, the owner is already dead?\' Tara shudder at the thought.

Although there are items of Celestial Beings that are being sold to the public, like their rings, necklace, and others, the Celestial Weapons and Armors are things that aren\'t being sold.

However, if it is acquired from a dead Celestial Being, it\'s possible that the next fated Celestial Being wasn\'t settled yet so someone could easily possess it even without forcefully cleansing it.

That\'s right! There is a cleansing process. When Tara had given the Astral Night Dagger to Vincent, it took her a while to remove the connected fate on that item so the real owner or fated Celestial wouldn\'t find it anymore.

That is a very difficult thing to do and she knows that not all Celestial Being, numbered or not, is capable of doing it.

\'A Celestial Weapon, a Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill, and a High-Grade Magus Essence Potion that can increase someone\'s aptitude…\'

Tara\'s eyes lit up after reading this. As far as she knows, Vincent\'s aptitude or talent in practicing mana is just low-grade.

Based on what she understands about the Magus Essence Potion, it should be able to help him increase his potential!

This might actually help him in his current situation.

With that in mind, she immediately checked the date and confirmed that the auction would happen in the next two weeks.

It appears that the auction house wanted to spread this information to everyone in the city and even the neighboring ones. If that happens, the competition would be fierce and their earnings would grow bigger.

After confirming that date and time together with the needed entrance fee, she decided to check the other auction houses and listed the precious potions they are selling in her mind.

As she was planning to return to their residence, she felt something familiar.

"Hmm?"

This time, Tara confirmed that someone is truly watching her. She no longer just looked around and immediately reappeared in the spot where she felt the presence looking at her.

She may not have felt any killing intent from them but their attempt to break through her cloak\'s hiding effect is very offensive!

She\'s using the cloak to hide her presence after all. If they decided to continuously peek through her, then they are just looking for trouble!

"Found you…"

Tara saw a young girl running at a quick speed after realizing that she noticed her.

The woman appears to be a teenager. She doesn\'t seem to be a Celestial Being or a powerful Mana Practitioner so Tara was baffled.

\'Is it a Mystic Eye that can see through Vincent\'s modified special cloak?\' Tara guessed after eliminating the possibility of her being a Celestial Being or a Grand Magus.

She decided to follow the young lady silently.

As soon as she entered an abandoned building, Tara felt something wrong. She hesitated for a moment but after considering her options, she decided to follow.
