She seems to have experience with other healing potions as she compared them to the potion she was holding.

Not only the healing effect was strong, but it was also working quite fast similar to a mid-grade potion.

Normally, the effects of such healing potions take a bit of time, especially if it's a low-grade ones.

However, just like what Vincent said, this potion is indeed helping her recover a lot faster.

"Ehem… It's just the same healing potion I bought recently. I just added something to it. It's… it's something I learned in the village to increase its potency." Vincent answered as he noticed that Tara has already seen the golden glitter in the potion.

Meanwhile, Tara just smiled at his explanation as she opened another bottle. She knows that it wasn't as simple as that but she still remained silent.

After the second potion took effect, she realized that her wounds has indeed gotten a lot better. She'd probably get fully healed later tonight.

"Thank you…"

"No problem. It's not like we're strangers to each other… Right, may I ask what happened? If I'm not wrong, you fought against another Celestial Being in the middle of the city…"

Vincent curiously asked. He really wanted to know the real reason for this incident.

After all, Tara had just woken up from her deep slumber. So he thought that she would try to silently or peacefully recover her Celestial Powers.

However, since she decided to engage in battle although she's not at her full strength, it probably involved something really important to her.

If there is something he could help with, then he would definitely do so. Getting a favor from a Celestial Being is something that he could use anyway.

"That indeed happened. I wasn't planning to get myself into trouble but it seems that she's also aiming for the Celestial Weapon hidden deep underground in this city."

As soon as she revealed this, Vincent couldn't help but be excited. So the rumors were true!

There was indeed a Celestial Weapon hidden here!

At first, Tara didn't want to reveal too much information to Vincent since it was very dangerous for him.

Considering his current strength as a Mana Practitioner and Soul Cultivation, he's probably just as strong as an elite soldier. If he compares himself with a normal member of the Red Rose Knight, he can be considered a bit stronger if he adds his +9 weapons.

Finally, Vincent learned that she can only feel the presence of an unowned Celestial Weapon. She can tell that it's deep underground but unfortunately, the path going down is unknown to her. So during this time, she has been looking for that path.

As she was searching for this underground path, the other Celestial Being came to her with ill intention. Obviously, she wanted to stop Tara from getting close to this underground path.

Vincent frowned after hearing her story.

"Hmm? If that's the case, I think it will get more dangerous for you. I noticed that Joran… I mean, someone is lurking here in the city with three strong Celestial Beings… Two of them are Numbered Celestial Beings as well. If you felt its presence, they must've felt that as well. So you might have to consider giving up just to be safe… I suggest that you think about taking it, once you fully recover your Celestial Powers." He explained.

"Don't worry. Only fated Celestial Being can feel the presence of the Celestial Weapon… Those three others were not the fated ones so they haven't felt it yet."

"I see… That makes sense then…"

Although Vincent didn't say it, he also initially thought that the Celestial Weapon they sensed was currently owned by the Count's Celestial Being.

However, if there is a "fate" requirement, then that weapon can indeed be taken by the fated one.

"But… if the other Celestial is also looking for it, does it mean that two of you are fated to that weapon?"

Vincent couldn't help but ask. Strictly speaking, if there is indeed such a fate requirement, there shouldn't be another Celestial competing for it right?

Nevertheless, Tara's answer cleared up his doubts.

"That other Celestial Being is probably the real fated one for that weapon. But I'm a bit special so it doesn't matter whether I'm fated to it or not."

Tara then gave a mysterious smile after saying this.

No wonder she wasn't worried about the three others interfering.

With that said, if all other Celestials can indeed feel the presence of the hidden Celestial Weapon, there was no way that the strong Numbered Celestials would've ignored it.

"I see… So you'll be stealing her fated weapon, huh…" Vincent muttered but he immediately froze and reworded his sentence.

"Ehem… I mean, you're a special Celestial Being so it's just normal to take advantage of it. Anyway, do you have a rough idea about the path going underground?"

"Yes… There is an entrance outside the city but the tunnel has already collapsed halfway… There is also another one in the basement of the burned tavern. Since it has been destroyed, I'll have to find another path."

'So that's why you fought outside the wall and inside the tavern. That makes sense then.'

Vincent nodded as he thought for a moment.

"Hmm… Have you checked the sewers? There should be a hidden path there, right? There is also the Count's large villa. I think there is should be an entrance there considering it's also at the center of the city…"

"The sewer system of the city is too large, it'll take me months to cover all of them so that's why I started searching in the locations I'm familiar with... As for the Count's house, it's too dangerous. It seems that another Celestial created a multi-layered barrier in some of their key places." Tara explained.

Vincent had no idea why Tara would be familiar with it. Is it common to find a hidden entrance outside the city and at the base of the largest tavern?

He couldn't tell.

Anyway, her words about the Count's house make sense. There was no way the Count would allow himself to be vulnerable against the Celestial Beings.

The two then chatted for a while as they shared their plans.

"Tomorrow, there will be a large auction. Most of the important people including the count himself would be present there. Try to use this time to explore the places you think have the entrance."
