Chapter 404 -404-Chris of the Troll Race
Gamma Academy was not located above ground. Instead, it had been built within a deep underground city.
Caelan followed Wesker and Alice into an elevator. Only after descending a full sixty floors did they finally arrive at the entrance of Gamma Academy.
The entire Gamma Academy was a massive underground cavern. Its ceiling height was well over a hundred meters, and one could even see personal aircraft entering and leaving around the academy.
Seeing so many aircraft appear, Caelan was also extremely surprised. Clearly, in the field of technology, the Celestial Realm was indeed much more advanced than the World of Myriad Races.
Wesker, who was beside him, looked at the aircraft in the sky. Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, an expression of realization appeared on his face. He smiled and explained to Caelan beside him,
"My friend, I forgot to tell you that our academy is holding a gathering today. While they discuss academic exchange, they will also offer prayers to His Eminence, the God of Puppets. Under normal circumstances, they may receive a blessing."
"His Eminence the God of Puppets’ latest requirement is that our five-person team must raise the technology of the Celestial Realm to a higher level in our future actions."
At this point, Wesker paused. His gaze turned toward Caelan, filled with pleading.
"So, Mr. Caelan, my friend, may I ask you to join our team? I believe your addition would surely greatly please His Eminence, the God of Puppets. He would definitely like you very much."
Caelan was slightly stunned. Then he gave Vivian beside him a look.
Vivian immediately rolled her eyes dramatically and said,
"What this guy means is that their team has very few people now. There are only five of them, and they need fresh blood."
Caelan smiled noncommittally, neither agreeing nor refusing.
On the other side, however, Wesker was already impatient to pull him into his team.
"My friend, in fact, we have three other members. It is just that one fellow has been out searching for materials and has not returned yet. Right now, I can take you to meet the other two members. They are Leon and Chris."
"I believe the two of them will also be very interested in your appearance."
Caelan followed behind Wesker and entered their team’s meeting room.
Just before stepping through the door, he suddenly noticed that there was a sign hanging outside the meeting room. Written on it were the words: [Gamma Academy Supreme Management Office].
Caelan was slightly stunned. Then he pointed at the sign and asked,
"So right now, there are no teachers or principal in Gamma Academy, and your team is responsible for managing everything? In that case, your level seems somewhat insufficient."
Hearing this, Wesker’s old face could not help turning red.
If someone else had questioned them, Wesker would have directly used his strength to teach that person a lesson. However, the strength Caelan had displayed earlier had already deeply shaken him.
So he scratched his head somewhat shyly, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.
"Mr. Caelan, my friend, I am very sorry. We have indeed encountered a bottleneck at present. Our teachers and principals are already on the path of seeking the truth of His Eminence, the God of Puppets. Therefore, the current Gamma Academy—or more accurately, the entire Gamma Sector—is being managed by the few of us."
Caelan nodded and did not say anything more. Instead, he followed Wesker into the office.
However, only after entering the office did he discover that there were actually six workstations here, not five.
This caused a trace of doubt to arise in his heart. Could Wesker be hiding something from him?
Faced with Caelan’s puzzled gaze, Wesker explained calmly,
"Mr. Caelan, please do not misunderstand. In fact, the reason there is an extra chair here is because Alice and Avril each have their own separate office areas. In order to show my respect for them, I..."
The corners of Caelan’s mouth could not help twitching twice.
He had to admit, Wesker really was quite a talent. Perhaps only someone with a personality like his could make someone with a fiery temper like Alice join his team.
Just then, a question suddenly arose in Caelan’s mind.
He looked at Wesker and Alice, then asked,
"Alice, do you remember how you were trapped in the Void Frontier? In fact, it really wasn’t me who sealed you away. I only happened to unseal you by coincidence after clearing the [Legendary Adventure]."
When Alice heard Caelan mention this matter, an angry expression immediately appeared on her face.
"How would I know about that? Before I woke up, I had never even seen a human. As for how I was sealed, I have absolutely no memory of it."
On the other side, Wesker’s face also revealed a solemn expression.
"Mr. Caelan, there is something you may not know. Alice and Avril were adopted by our principal when they were very young. At that time, the various regions of the Celestial Realm were still connected by passageways and had not yet been sealed by His Eminence, the God of Puppets. But ever since His Eminence the God of Puppets sealed the passageways, Alice disappeared as well."
"Actually, at first, I did not know that she had been sealed away. I thought she had followed the principal on a journey to seek the true meaning of His Eminence, the God of Puppets. It was only when she suddenly returned to Gamma Sector some time ago that I learned about these things."
"As for Alice’s return, I was truly delighted. After all, we are companions who grew up together, even though Alice’s personality is somewhat strange."
Caelan frowned. Then, from his communicator, he found the relevant information about Alice being sealed and handed it to the two of them.
Just as Wesker and Alice were reading the information, a troll dressed in animal hides suddenly walked in.
"Hey, Wesker, you guys are actually back. Speaking of which, didn’t you ask me to build a microwave emitter? Why haven’t you brought me the materials yet?"
When Wesker saw the troll appear, he immediately walked forward excitedly and put an arm around his shoulder.
"Come, come, Chris. Let me introduce you to a new partner. This is Mr. Caelan. He is also an extremely powerful blacksmith. I believe the two of you should have an excellent exchange."
After saying this, he looked at Caelan again and introduced him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Caelan, this is a member of my team, Chris."
Caelan’s gaze swept over Chris.
He had never expected Chris to appear in the form of a troll.
Normally speaking, according to people’s stereotypes of trolls, the troll race was usually seen as savage, backward, and primitive. But why did Chris appear in the form of a troll?
Chris seemed to guess what Caelan was thinking, so he generously thumped his own chest.
"Your Excellency Caelan, welcome to the team. Also, allow me to add one more thing. I am indeed a member of the troll race. I have merely undergone a certain degree of mechanical modification. In addition, I am the smartest troll. You will come to know that in the future!"
