Chapter 563: Chapter 193: The Confusing A-Class Plot_2

Upon further reflection on his observations, Leonard Churchill reached a conclusion: he was not the one in charge!

If Moissanite, the City Lord, was not in charge, then there must be someone of higher status within the city.

It could only be that Grand Mage with Mental Power covering the entire City Lord Manor who could cause such difficulties for him.

Mages hold a very high position in the Delaney Dynasty, even higher than that of a typical Lord.

As expected, it was at this moment that a cloaked Magician walked in.

He lifted his cloak to reveal an aged face with a prominent white beard that conveyed a wise and steady air.

Even as he opened his cloak, Leonard also noticed the old man was wearing a simple white robe with the tiny emblem of a silver maple leaf on the sleeve.

Acutely capturing these details, Leonard thought of the records in Mage Rolan’s classic books and immediately guessed, “Silver maple leaf... is this guy a Court Mage?”

This world did not have an accurate division of tiers for cultivation.

They did not talk about tiers, only about combat power.

A Gray-robed Mage would roughly have the abilities of a 1-3 tier card master, whereas a White-robed Mage would have the combat power of a High-Order Card Master.

Mage Rolan was a Gray-robed Mage.

And this white-bearded elder was wearing a white robe, which meant his strength was formidable.

Besides, his sleeve emblem – the “silver leaf” family crest – allowed Leonard to guess the hidden information that was beyond the reach of others.

But it was precisely this identity that made him all the more vigilant.

Because this silver leaf emblem represented one of the great families among the Royal Family’s Court Mages.

Leonard then guessed the identity of this person.

“The Royal Family has already arrived?”

The identity of the demon-slaying hero once again proved to be useful.

His strength and reputation earned him this hidden mission.

As Gambillo spoke, his staff glowed with a faint blue Magic light, and he specially warned, “There is also a special token in this package. It bears my Magic seal, and you must not open it until you reach Bourbon City!”

Leonard looked at the package with the message “Plot Item, cannot be placed in Storage Space,” took it in one hand, and replied, “Yes!”

As soon as he said this, he perceived a subtle trace of magical fluctuations.

It seemed that some sort of Word Spirit Contract had been completed.

Enlightenment also simultaneously appeared: ‘Word Spirit Contract binding successful, you cannot break your promise or you will suffer ‘Gambillo’s Displeasure.’

Tsk tsk, this old man’s skills were quite clever indeed.

Gambillo added, “Now there are Demon spies infiltrated into the city, and I cannot offer you more help. I will arrange an identity for you within the Falcon Scout Team; be careful, and act according to the situation...”

Leonard: “Yes.”

...

It did not take long for Leonard to walk out of the City Lord Manor with the wrapped package.

Originally, he wanted to leave in disguise and alter his appearance.

Unexpectedly, City Lord Moissanite provided a better plan and switched him into a soldier’s garb, quietly slipping out by blending into a patrolling group.

Thus, he changed his identity and became an NPC from an Adventurer.

Later, he would leave with the NPC scouting team.

Having this disguise made Leonard’s task easier.

But he had no intention of doing so.

Upon leaving the City Lord Manor, Leonard looked at the package that couldn’t be stored away and was very curious as to what was inside, “The Holy Grail? Or is it intelligence related to the Holy Grail?”
