Chapter 148 Move
Vincent didn't feel anything after Turhan placed his hands on top of his head.
At first, he expected to feel something invade his body. If it was harmful, the talismans he brought out would be activated and protect his physical body from any follow-up or external attack that might come to him.
They were Energy Protection Talisman, Cocoon Talisman, and Iron Skin Talisman.
The two bracelets, on the other hand, were capable of stopping any invasive Aura or Soul attacks.
They were Furious Ebony Armlet and Clarity Band.
Finally, the three rings were capable of protecting him from mana or foreign energy attacks!
The Prudence Ring and Sagewood Ring were capable of blocking any invasive mana coming to his body. Lastly, the Brilliant Zeal Ring can protect him from any foreign energy that could bring harm to his body!
This is probably the most important accessory he has at this moment. After all, foreign energy must've included that consciousness energy, right?
Furthermore, this ring is already +10 and Pseudo-Legendary!
With all this protection including Rem's security, Vincent decided to accept the goodwill of this Professor. Anyway, he doesn't feel like he was plotting something, and he was genuinely trying to help. He seemed more like a researcher who wanted to satisfy his curiosity and learn the unknown.
Vincent waited for fifteen more minutes before Turhan finally stopped as he lifted his hands…
He didn't speak for a while as if he was trying to understand what he had just found out.
During this whole time, none of Vincent's protections has been activated. Vincent sighed in relief after realizing this as he waited for Turhan's conclusion about his 'curse'.
"Hmmm… No wonder it was called a curse… This is almost impossible to cure, huh…" Turhan muttered after a while. Vincent also noticed from his voice that he seemed to be very tired of what he had just done.
He was breathing heavily like he just fought a massive battle! He didn't even get tired of fighting the three core members of the Zemin Clan!
However, here he is right now, extremely tired after diagnosing Vincent's sickness!
"Almost impossible to cure? Do you know a way to cure it?" Vincent asked. Previously, he wasn't hoping that much. However, after Turhan's performance and show of knowledge, Vincent couldn't help but expect a little bit from his next words.
"That's correct, Vincent. I learned a couple of things after checking your eyes… First, I can feel the essence of a seal on your eyes instead of a curse or sickness. Finally, even though no human in this world can break the seal, the one who placed that seal in the first place can surely remove it as well."
p
There was nothing he could do to that at the moment but it is still good to know… As for the name of the seal, no one has an idea.
Anyway, Vincent was also aware that the seal will indeed be broken by the one who cast it, the blond goddess.
Vincent then asked Turhan whether he knows something about the visualization method of the Aura Knights, he wanted to know if they are both visualizing the same goddess…
"Hmm? I'm sorry. I didn't learn any visualization method as it might affect my skills. Although I managed to strengthen my soul thanks to the medallion, I didn't really learn any skills of Aura Knight."
"Oh? I understand… Right, I will take the gifts you offered then." Vincent said as he picked up the Consciousness Energy book and the Medallion on the table.
"Haha… Of course. I also appreciate your trust. Please take care…"
Turhan said as he left Vincent's room with a heavy heart. It seems that he was truly disappointed about being unable to discover more about the seal placed in his eyes.
To be honest, Turhan wanted to ask Vincent about anything he knows why someone sealed his eyes or how did it feel when the seal was placed.
Unfortunately, the Celestial Being who has been watching him with a threatening gaze bothered him a lot, and he can't simply ignore her stare. He can only retreat and leave the courtyard before it gets worse.
In the meantime, Vincent couldn't help but smile after appraising the two gifts given by the Professor.

Time quickly passed as Tara returned from exploring a few dungeons around the Zemin Clan's territory. She brought many unknown things from Uncommon to Epic Rank…. There was even 1 Legendary Rank Robe item which greatly surprised Vincent.
During this time, he had also heard that Duke France has finally claimed the throne after many weeks of seizing the capital.
"A total of 28 Celestial Beings has appeared, huh…" Vincent couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.
The young King has the protection of 18 Celestial Beings, five of them are Numbered Celestials. On the other hand, the revolutionary army only has 10 Celestial Beings.
Because of their disadvantage in number, the Duke managed to bait the King and mobilized their Celestial Beings to the field!
This action broke the unwritten rules of the Celestial Beings as they slaughtered the revolutionary army. This is obviously what the Duke wanted to happen to gain the moral high ground before stomping the King's futile actions.
In the end, the ten Celestials working for him were all Numbered and the weakest was Numbered 97!
This was something incredible and even Professor Turhan was put at a loss after hearing the news. Nevertheless, his expression also showed that he realized something and left some advice to the Zemin Clan.
"It's a good thing that you guys will be leaving this Kingdom and didn't put up a fight… The enemy wasn't that Duke France or his weak revolutionary army at all. It was something else… No wonder your young king got too scared and relied on turtling inside his castle. I now also understand why the Barbarians suddenly become docile and started obeying his orders…"
Turhan sighed as he disappeared after saying this.
From his words, many of them got the gist of the situation… However, they didn't think too much of it as they'll probably learn more about the hidden forces of this world after joining the umbrella of the Black Tower organization.
For now, they can only hope that they'll be safe traveling for the next two months.
After a while, three large floating ships that could probably carry five thousand people docked at the Zemin Clan's Evocation Plains where all the members of the clan are currently waiting.
At this time, Vincent had also arrived carrying a small bag and a sword while Rem and Tara silently stood beside him.
