Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 464 Detection



Vincent felt weak and tired after seeing the Flying Airship.

Is it an enemy? How come it wasn\'t detected at all? Are there more airships surrounding the city?

How about the ground troops? Are they going to endure a siege again?

Vincent has so many questions. After being attacked several times, he didn\'t get used to it at all. He wanted to just end all these fights!

He thought that if he keeps winning, he would scare off other attackers but it wasn\'t happening at all!

It seems that it has the opposite effect as they keep getting attacked!

"What now?" Vincent muttered as he used his eyes\' mystical ability to fully sense the airship that was above their city.

Buzz… Buzz…

Suddenly, Vincent felt his communication crystal in his pocket. It was vibrating and it seems that Calidia is contacting him about this airship.

He immediately answered the comms request and listened to her.

"Sir Vincent, the Alchemist Union is here!"

As soon as he heard these words, he heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder the bell to signal that their city is under attack didn\'t sound at all.

Well, Calidia was quite late to inform him about this, or perhaps, it was the Alchemist Union that was late informing them.

"Alchemist Union… What are they doing here?" Vincent asked. Although he has some transactions with the union, he was only doing it through Faviona.

"They said that they needed Lady Faviona\'s help. It seems to be urgent so they decided to meet her instead."

"Got it… Bring them to the dockyard and call for Guven to filter them… Make sure that he\'s with Lar or any Grand Knights available."

"Yes, I will notify everyone."

Calidia replied as she informed everyone who will be involved in welcoming these new guests.

"Sir Guven, you have another task. It\'s a request from the Tower." Millie said as she approached Guven who was painting in the garden of his house.

Guven is currently living in a residential area in the eastern part of the city…

​ "Alright… Do I have time to get ready?" Guven replied using Telepathy as he looked at his clothes. There were splattered paints all over his clothes and he honestly wanted to take a bath since he was sweaty.

"I\'m not sure… The Alchemist Union\'s airship is already in the dockyard. They are just being delayed since they can\'t roam the city without your approval."

Ceri replied as she looked at Guven…

This is her second time meeting this young man who was capable of differentiating truth and lies. She\'s interested in his ability so when Millie was ordered to escort him to the dockyard, she volunteered as well.

"Is that so? Then I guess I just have to change my clothes…" Guven sighed as he swiftly fixed his things and returned to his residence to get a Magicians Robe.

It is the Noble Beacon Magician\'s Robe bought from the Beacon Magic Shop.

As soon as he wore this, Guven, who seemed like a broke painter on the streets transformed into a respectable young noble.

Well, it has 30 points in Dignity and 15 points in Charm Attributes.

"I didn\'t expect to be accompanied by two Grand Knights, I\'m honored…" Guven said to the two using Telepathy.

Since Millie and Ceri can\'t answer using the same skill, they can only reply with words from their mouth…

"Well, I really want to see your skills in action…"

"You\'re very important in Vincent\'s plans so you we have to ensure that nothing bad happens to you…"

Ceri and Millie replied as they led him to a horse-drawn carriage.

It didn\'t take long before their small group finally arrived.

They were immediately welcomed by a few guards and led to the room where Guven can start his observation.

Millie and Ceri remained on his side to ensure his safety.

Currently, they are in a room where they could observe the interrogation room through a one-way mirror.

The people from the Alchemist Union will only see the knight who will be asking questions to them…

"Sir Guven, we will be calling in the Alchemists from the Union now…" The knight who will be interviewing the alchemists spoke in a respectful tone.

"I understand… Ahh… Before that, how many are there this time?" Guven asked using his telepathy.

"There are only fifteen people… The other crew members don\'t have plans of leaving their airship."

"Fifteen? That\'s fine… Please start now."

Guven\'s lie-detection ability doesn\'t work on multiple people at once. This is why the interview has to be one or one.

The good thing about this is that the Mana consumption is just low so he wouldn\'t have to worry about overexertion.

Thud!

It didn\'t take long before the first alchemist came inside the interrogation room.

He is a middle-aged man with brown and greasy hair… Although he was trying to appear calm and collected, they can tell that he was nervous after being sent to an isolated room.

The knight who saw him had seen this many times so he was already used to it.

"Don\'t be too nervous… Just like what we mentioned before, you only need to answer truthfully and you can leave this place." The knight said as he tried to make the man relax…

"G-great… I\'m not nervous… You can ask questions now." The middle-aged man answered with his deep and awkward voice. He also observed the room for a moment and even at the mirror which clearly shows his reflection.

From Millie and Ceri\'s perspective, this seems to be the normal behavior of Alchemists.

"Alright… Please, introduce yourself…"

"Ehem… I\'m Caiden Wakelin… I\'m a Tier 3 Alchemist."

"Are you a member of the Alchemist Union?" The knight continued.

"Of course, I\'ve been a member of the Alchemist Union for 12 years now."

"Twelve years… I see, are you a member of other small or large organization aside from the Alchemist Union?"

"What? I\'m not…"

"Then are you at least working for another organization?"

"Hmm? What are you saying? I\'m only working for the Alchemist Union!"

At this moment, the knight heard Guven\'s telepathy as he looked at Caiden with cold eyes…
