Chapter 50 - Security checks

Taking the disc and fitting it into the medallion, Avon turned to his master.

"Master, thank you, I don't know how I would have managed to retrieve this on my own."

He bowed before her.

She placed a hand on his shoulder and said,

"Now, quickly leave for Philon, I will teleport you to the space port."

The next moment they left the special realm and appeared at the space port. Avon could see some crafts leaving and some arriving. Silea literally saved hours of travel time.

"Thank you master! I will return once I finish my work."

Saying so Avon ran towards the craft. Silea disappeared and joined the fight back at the sect.

Avon quickly took off and set course for Philon. It would take a week to get there.

The medallion had still not glown and this made him suspicious. He was sure that a month was long gone.

Deciding not to waste more time worrying he calmed his mind and waited till he arrived at Philon.

He noticed that the ratio of mana present was changing again. It was the third type, the type related to magic that was becoming more dominant.

He continued cultivating. After a week he reached Philon.

It looked like a pearl, white but had a pinkish hue.

It looked very beautiful when viewed from space.

Also it was humongous, just like Steela and Xianzin.

The craft was again given high importance and so was he.

Avon asked the officer present about how to meet the knight.

He was told to go to the capital city and book an appointment at the city reception.

Avon looked around for a means of transport until when he stepped outside the building to see people flying all over.

But Avon could see that people didn't fly because of body cultivation but rather magic, because there were some energy structures that held them and in an aerodynamic shape flew over.

He looked at the map and the city was too far for him to fly normally. He looked around a bit more and found a flying service.

He had already obtained the local currency on landing. He paid one coin and was given a bracelet.

Upon wearing it mana surrounded his body and gave a golden glow to his surroundings.

Then the golden glow spread around in a wing like shape. It was like he had grown wings, they flapped and he rose higher. Then a cone like shape formed before him to protect him from incoming gusts of wind. Slowly he began to move forward.

Gradually the speed increased and after about 20 minutes, he landed right before a building.

The building had "Saurin City Inquiry Office" written on it.

Saurin was the capital.

He entered and approached one of the many reception desks.

"Greetings sir, how may I help you"

A woman spoke,

"I want to know how I can meet the knight..."

"You may book an appointment. If you were to book one now, then your time slot would be at 5 am the day after tomorrow."

Avon was jumping in his mind. For once the appointment was actually taking place like it was supposed to!

No sudden changes or crazy tasks like before.

He spoke,

"Umm...the matter is a little urgent so...can I meet him a little faster?"

He asked politely in a hopeful manner,

"Sorry sir, but that is not possible. You must be a designated VIP at least."

"I see, so where do I go to meet the Knight?"

"Please go to the head office in the city center four hours prior to your time slot. Necessary security checks will be done and then you will be allowed further. A card will be issued with all the details, keep it safely and show it to the guards at the entrance of the Head office."

"Oh.."

"Please fill out this form."

She gave him a feather and a sheet.

He wondered how the feather would write if she gave no ink, but casting logic aside he put the tip on the paper and ink began flowing.

It was magic indeed.

He filled his details such as name, age and purpose but avoided filling the planet name.

He gave her the form and after a few minutes she gave him a card with all his details on it. His time slot was 5:00 am to 5:15 am.

He had to reach the building at 1 am for the security checks.

Taking card he went back to the craft. He rested a little and cultivated.

A day had passed and he headed towards the city again.

The head office was a tall colossal building which could be seen from almost anywhere in the city.

Once he knew he had to head there, he began walking. After walking and flying for a few hours he reached the building a little early.

It was late night yet many people were out on the streets. It was in fact very lively.

Avon showed his card to the guards who didn't let him in because he still had to wait for another 7 minutes.

Avon found that funny but respected the punctuality.

Once it was 1:00 am, he was let in.

Inside there was a line of people standing before a door. He was told join it.

The line moved slowly and after an hour it was Avon's turn to enter.

He entered and inside a few officers see seated.

They told him to stand in the middle of the room, then they surrounded him and extended their arms towards him. From the rings on their fingers various lights shot out and after a few seconds they let him sit. Then they gave him an orb to hold in his hands and questioned him,

"What is your name?"

"Avon"

The orb glowed green.

"What is the purpose of your visit?"

"To obtain an item from the knight"

"How do you plan on doing that"

"I cannot reveal"

The man questioning him looked at him with a severe stare.

"Do you have any ill intentions towards the knight?"

"No"

The orb glowed green

"Will your actions harm the knight in any way, direct or indirect?"

"No"

The orb glowed green again.

"Will your actions inconvenience the knight in any way, direct or indirect?"

"No"

Green again

"Why did you not mention your place of origin?"

"I cannot reveal"

"Hmm...is your planet one associated with the heretics?"

"No"

Green glow.

"Hmm...you can leave"
