"Different place? Are you talking about going to another country?"
Vincent asked with interest.
He wasn't too familiar with the geographical map of the continent but he knows that aside from the Tudor Kingdom, there shouldn't be another human race nation connected to their borders.
As a matter of fact, their borders have large sects stationed there to protect them from Barbarian Invasion.
At the northern border, the Mystic Crown Sect and Luminous Stone Sect are stationed. They were covering the border from the northwest to the large part of the northern plains.
At the western border was the Illustrious Sword Sect while on the southeast border was the Infinite Storm Sect.
The large part of the south, on the other hand, was connected to the sea so there is no need for any large sect to be stationed there.
At the eastern border was the previous Star Garden Sect while at the northeast was the Harmonius Fire Sect which was rumored to be part of Duke France's rebel forces.
"It's from a different country, not on this continent. I can't tell you the specific details yet but we are in contact with a Magician Organization there and we won't be treated badly because of our achievement in alchemy and many secret techniques. Perhaps, we can also find something there to cure your eyes."
This is Yulia's true intention. Since none of the doctors here in the kingdom was capable of curing Vincent, perhaps, he could find hope if he visited another nation.
"I see… When are you planning to leave?"
"It's not set yet. However, it would probably be in another two months or so."
Yulia answered after considering the situation in the capital. Furthermore, their territory here in the kingdom is truly large. There are many resources here that they may have a hard time getting in another country.
This is why the Patriarch decided to send out the Clan's Ten Swords to gather the precious resources they could get during this time so they could bring them to another country.
"Does the Patriarch agree to bring me with you?"
"Of course… He specifically said that you will still be our special guest. It seems that he owes your parents. It's something I learned after I chatted with him a few days ago. As for the arranged marriage…"
Yulia didn't continue as she was unsure of how to explain it to Vincent.
Luckily, Vincent understand what she wanted to say and didn't make it difficult for her.
"You can forget about it. I know my situation as well and I'm sure Lesley has already made her decision." Vincent's voice was calm and Yulia could tell that he has already thought this through.
She actually wanted to convince Lesley but after seeing Vincent's demeanor, she decided to just follow his wish. This is probably for the best as well considering the temperament of that little girl.
She looked at him with concern and could only sigh… It was a pity that this happened to Vincent. The Altar became defective the moment Vincent used it. It was such a terrible coincidence that no one would've expected.
After a while, Yulia left his room as Vincent continued what he was doing.
He picked up a talisman that was emitting a cold aura and appraised it.
[ Cerulean Dew Talisman ]
[ Quality: Uncommon
Number of Enhancements: 0/10
Durability: 10/20
Cold Resistance: 5
Description: A special accessory that provides cold resistance. Its main components are Weightless Dew and Bluenote Stone.
Remarks: Cold Resistance Attribute found. Durability and Cold Resistance attributes will be upgraded in every enhancement. ]
This item wasn't anything impressive. A single attribute cold resistance and being an uncommon rank was something that anyone could purchase at a flea market.
Furthermore, items like this would take effect passively and their durabilities would easily be consumed as the special attribute is being used.
That's right, durability wasn't just decreasing if it was physically damaged. There is also a durability consumption whenever its special ability is taking effect.
Of course, this reduction is something negligible if it's an Epic Item or above. However, for Uncommon or Rare items that only have a small amount of durability with them, it is an important matter.
This is why items like this talisman were inexpensive and produced en masse.
Nevertheless, people may not find this item that valuable, but in Vincent's hands, they can become real treasures.
Once it had reached 9 or even 10 enhancements and ascended to a higher rank, it would certainly become an item that even Vincent would want to have.
Furthermore, ascending it to a higher rank would give him a chance of getting a new attribute effect aside from cold resistance.
During the past few days, Vincent discovered that getting a new attribute is actually a lot easier to do with accessory-type items.
If pills and potions are easy to Enhance to +10, accessories are easy to Ascend and get new attributes!
After a while, Vincent felt satisfied with the enhancement and ascension of the talisman as he placed the item inside his Obsidian Treasure Box or his dimensional storage item.
He wanted to continue with another item but he checked his pile of Beast Cores and realized that they have all been used already. All that was left were empty cores and at most, he can pour his energy inside them and become Energy Cores that could sell for a few pieces of gold coins.
As he was thinking of this, Rem came to his room bringing a few items within his room.
"You're finally here… How was it?" Vincent asked. He didn't have to see who came in to know who it was.
"Impressive… I'm sure I concealed my presence. You shouldn't have felt any fluctuation in my energy. I also didn't make any sound when I entered your room. How did you do it?"
Rem said with a helpless smile on her face. She has been doing this to Vincent every since he became blind but no matter what improvement she did with her concealment, she's always being detected by Vincent for some reason.
Vincent couldn't help but grin at her question as he answered.
"You can try to stop your heart from beating loudly the next time… I might miss your presence."
"My beating heart? Is that so? Hmm… I'll do something about it. Anyway, I've brought the item. He said that the sword doesn't have a name yet and you can name it yourself." Rem said as she handed over the sword covered with a special black cloth to Vincent.
