บท 206: Come Clean

By the time Tyler finished bolstering and refurbishing Emilia's house, dusk had settled in. 

The day had slipped away unnoticed, but on the bright side, he'd managed to level up both "Deceiver" and "Heart of Focus" in the course of his work, resulting in an increase of 10 points each in his Dexterity and Intelligence attributes.

Upon exiting Emilia's house, Tyler realized that quite a number of townsfolk were looking for him.

"Look there! It's Banning!"

"We've found Banning!"

Had it not been for his mind-reading ability, Tyler would have thought he was a wanted man.

Within minutes, he was encircled by a crowd of townspeople. 

They informed him that Lord Garvit, the captain of the Emerald City Cavalry, was looking for him and suggested it might be a beneficial encounter, urging Tyler to meet him posthaste.
