Chapter 255 – Silver Face Infiltrates

This is well made, Hikaru thought. The s.h.i.+ps anch.o.r.ed in Vireocean were packed with some sort of magic items which he could sense with Mana Detection.

But this s.h.i.+p was different. Despite its huge size, it barely used any magic items. The light inside utilized fuel to burn, and the crew used voice pipes to communicate. There was an exception, however: in the middle lower part of the s.h.i.+p, Hikaru could sense enormous mana, possibly a magic item and the vessel's source of power.

Probably around here.

Not a lot of people roamed the bridge out front, which meant they were in the lowest level of alert status. The commander's office didn't seem far; Hikaru could sense two people inside.

I can't hear…

With the door closed shut, Hikaru couldn't find out what was going on inside. He concluded that this was the commander's office as it was bigger than the rest, and he could sense magic items inside the room.

Should I open the door a little? It's not really that bright out here…

Hikaru's Instinct said it was a bad idea. Unfortunately the people inside were more than five meters away, so he couldn't check their Soul Boards either. He listened carefully to one of the pipes, and heard conversation, although faint.

Come on. Read this one more time.

W-We… are people… of… Grand Dream…

You've studied this a number of times already.

They used their own language halfway. It sounded like they were studying this continent's language. Hikaru couldn't hear the rest.

The language barrier is really huge, huh. There's no point in eavesdropping or reading doc.u.ments when I can't even understand a word.

Even if he didn't discover what the situation was internally, finding out what equipment they possessed, the troops' composition, how advanced their civilization was, and their objective, would be more than enough.

Hikaru jumped at the sounds of footsteps coming from up ahead. He'd let his guard down. The pa.s.sage he was on was dimly-lit to save fuel. But it was too narrow for two people to walk abreast, and no place to hide either. Hikaru thought his only option was to stick to the ceiling.

A man knocked at the commander's office's door, saying something in an annoyed tone. Hearing a faint answer from inside, he opened the door.

What now? Should I go in with him? It's too dangerous when I don't know the situation inside.

The man stepped inside.

It's much brighter inside than I expected. I should at least take a peek.

Silently, Hikaru moved towards the office. Suddenly a man appeared from inside, checking left and right of the corridor. He didn't notice Hikaru crouching down. On the man's chest was the mark of a sword and a bird, the same symbol on the room. So this is the commander.
