Chapter 396 Night

Guven is one of Vincent's classmates in the Arcane Mysteries class. Aside from being mute, Vincent can easily recall this man since he was very interested in his Mystic Eye which is capable of detecting lies.

Vincent thought for a moment and agreed to their decision. It was indeed a good precautionary measure but he doubts that there is a spy in his city. After all, more than 90% of the people living in this city are from the Tudor Kingdom. They were people captured by the Barbarians and brought here to be slaves…

There was no way the members of the black magic cult could approach them and turn them into spies.

Anyway, he decided not to explain further and just agreed with it…

Clop… Clop… Clop…

The sound of hooves clopping on the ground grew louder as the carriages he called had finally arrived.

Vincent no longer bothered them and brought them to a small villa he had prepared. In any case, once they rested, they would have plenty of time to discuss their plans to deal with the enemies.

"This looks simple but also quite grand… It's certainly better than what I expected." Levent commented after seeing the villa they will be using.

This villa is meant for VIPs that would visit his city so it wasn't difficult to prepare.

It has a modern touch to it and there weren't any traces of bricks that can be seen because it was properly polished and painted as well.

Vincent was quite proud of this since he spent a lot of money to build this place.

He then toured Levent for a bit since she was the only one who wasn't tired in their journey. The rest of them found a room to clean themselves and take a rest.

As for Ignacy, he's still unconscious so Shane carried him to his assigned room.

"I haven't seen the Celestials following you around… Did they leave you already?" Levent suddenly asked as she looked around.

They are currently on the third floor's balcony where they can see the Kayser Tower and the Municipal Building.

"I sent them away for a mission…They should be returning soon." Vincent replied.

"I see…" Levent weakly nodded.

Vincent noticed that she has something in mind so he immediately asked.

In the end, he learned that Levent's Celestial Sword was already broken.

It was previously broken by the magic god's Avatar that attacked the First Tower.

During that time, she managed to buy some time for the Tower Lord to activate the first jump site and fled with a group of people.

This includes her, Magnus, Elena, Guven, and a few others who didn't have the time to flee when the enemies arrived outside the city.

This Celestial Sword is the one he used to trade with her Celestial Armor…

Currently, the Celestial Armor is still on Vincent and would rarely be used unless he faced a very strong opponent.

"Can I see the broken Celestial Sword?" Vincent asked.

"Of course… Are you thinking of fixing it?" Levent replied as she handed over three pieces of the celestial sword.

It is composed of a hilt and two broken blades.

There were even several chips on it and Vincent can only imagine how tough that Avatar was.

"Even a Celestial Sword can be broken by that being, huh…" Vincent muttered as he realized how serious this was. If Celestial Swords and Armor are nothing for this being, beating it with the help of his Celestials would be a difficult task.

"Or maybe because I'm too weak…" Professor Levent said as she weakly smiled.

"I can't bring out the full potential of the sword. I think it was wasted on me… Perhaps, if we have a Celestial Being working for us at that time, the situation would be different." She added.

Of course, this bit caught Vincent's attention as he asked about the whereabouts of the Celestial Beings at that time.

He knows that even though the Black Tower isn't relying on Celestials, they still have many Celestial Beings on their side.

"Most of them were killed and some of them fled after their contractors died. You already know about the spies that were planted. Those weren't simple spies but also assassins. It was a really well elaborate plan. Whoever was the mastermind of this organization, was incredible and patient... He made up this plan for two or maybe three decades before he acted on it."

Levent couldn't help but praise even their enemies for their dedication to overthrowing the Tower Lord.

"Assassins, huh… That's indeed big trouble… Alright, once Guven has fully rested, I will ask him to help me check if any spies have entered the city."

"That's a good idea… You can do it tomorrow with me. I'll help you communicate with him using my Mind Network… or did you learn Telepathy already?" Levent asked.

"Unfortunately, I haven't learned it yet. Your Mind Network will be helpful, Professor."

***

Elena woke up in the middle of the night. It is quite dark and only the moonlight passing through the slits of the curtain was lighting up her room.

Glug… Glug…

Her stomach started growling as she seem to have forgotten to eat before she slept. She was really exhausted all this time.

She didn't even have a chance to mourn the death of her brother when they were caught in the middle of a war against this cult-like organization.

She stood up to find food in the kitchen and luckily, there were some leftovers yet. Perhaps, they know that she hasn't eaten yet and left some food for her to eat…

"Great… Thanks for the food…" Elena muttered before gobbling up the food.

It has been a while since she tasted proper food so she couldn't help but tear up eating some tender meat and even a soup on the side. She was always eating some crunchy and dry rations after all.

With a little use of fire magic, she was able to heat up the soup and make it taste better.

After a while, she went to the balcony of the second floor and saw the lively city below her…

"Eh?"

It is in the middle of the night and she can tell that it wasn't some kind of a drill or patrolling guards.

It seems that businesses are still open and she found it interesting…

"So this is Vera City… A city that was built by someone younger than me… Should I take a look?"
