Chapter 564 -193: The Confusing A-Class Plot_3

The cloth bag in hand was tied to an A-level plot. The contents inside were definitely not ordinary.

It couldn’t just be intelligence.

Moreover, the reward for this task was extremely generous, eighty thousand contribution points, enough to exchange for a top-quality Golden Quality item.

Although the risks were not small, a solo mission seemed to have a chance of being completed.

If it were any other time, Leonard Churchill would probably have attempted to undertake this high-reward solo quest that had come his way.

However, here he directly rejected this option.

Still the same thought, it was impossible to get the Holy Grail directly from a plot of this difficulty.

So even if he completed this A-level character, Leonard’s goal would not be achieved, and he would instead waste time and incur risks for nothing.

But if he gave up this A-level task, the City Lord had seen it, and that hidden Magician had also seen it, then in Ironforge City, he temporarily couldn’t find a higher-level plot starting point.

“If I don’t do it, I can give it to someone else…”

Leonard’s thoughts shifted, he thought of something, and his expression instantly turned playful.

The intelligence inspired by the task was very subtle: whoever holds the package gets the task.

It seemed as if the Spatial Will deliberately encouraged Adventurers to fight over it, or perhaps… The plot tied to the package had properties worth fighting for.

Thinking this, a lightbulb went off in Leonard’s head, and he suddenly thought of a key question, “Hey, upon thinking about it, couldn’t the contents of this package be discovered by the Demon Legion?”

Because of Enlightenment, although he didn’t know what was about to happen, he could judge a lot through the difficulty of the task.

This was an A-level difficulty task, after all!

Usually, this was already the highest difficulty for a plot quest in the Alternate Dimension.

If I don’t reveal myself, and just quietly send it away, taking some remote paths, like climbing the wall last time, is it very likely that the package reaches its destination by luck?

Then how could the task difficulty possibly reach A?

The only explanation was that taking this package would inevitably involve a risk worthy of this difficulty.

Leonard seemed to have grasped something, “Hiss… Could it be a lure?”

Following this line of thought, he immediately came up with too much.

If the package could be discovered by the Demon Legion, thus bringing a pursuit, then that Magician Gambillo would definitely know in advance.

However, the old man didn’t say anything and specifically instructed not to open the package.

Viewed this way, knowing that the Demon Legion would discover it yet still sending someone to deliver a message, it looked very much like a “lure.”

So if this speculation held…

What did the old man want to cover up with the lure?

With a lure attracting firepower, there must be something under the firepower that wanted to remain hidden.

“The Holy Grail?”

At this point, Leonard’s lips suddenly curled into a sly smile.

Finally, he felt for the first time that he was getting closer to the Holy Grail.

Using an A-level plot as a lure could only be for a higher-level plot character or item.

Leonard even speculated that there might be more lures than just his own.

It was just that his identity as a demon-slaying Hero was somewhat special, more capable of attracting the Demon Corps’ firepower.

Right!

Attracting firepower?

Leonard suddenly thought of a very bad issue, “Huh… since the plot continued from Outpost Battle, the Demon Corps wouldn’t still be searching for the Power Gem Golden Sphere, would they?”

Upon thinking this, the probability was very high.

If his identity was exposed, what awaited him was a blockade and pursuit by the main forces of the Demon Legion!

“Hiss… did that old man want to screw me over?”

Upon this realization, Leonard felt chills run down his spine.

That creeping sense of crisis caused the corners of his mouth to rise higher and higher.

Tsk tsk… one really must not underestimate these Non-Player Characters.

Those who hold power, not one of them is easy to deal with.

Although the identity of a demon-slaying Hero won him the respect of the guards and allowed Leonard to enter the City Lord Manor and receive the quest from the City Lord,

Leonard never felt this identity meant anything significant to the upper echelons of Delaney Kingdom’s power.

“Hero” to the Commoner is faith, pursuit, dream.

But to those in power, it’s just a pacifier to appease the people at the bottom.

If it were a Non-Player Character loyal to the Kingdom, perhaps they wouldn’t doubt anything and would just go all out to complete the task.

But Leonard was an Adventurer!

This package was now big trouble for him and definitely not something he could afford to touch.

But he also immediately thought of that “Magic Contract” with a price.

Yes!

Leonard had promised he wouldn’t open it.

But if someone else opened it, it wouldn’t be his problem, right?

The package didn’t say it couldn’t be robbed or stolen, did it?

Regardless, Leonard had no intention of completing this A-level character, and he was curious about the contents of the package.

So, he could only set up some ill-intentioned guys.

With that in mind, Leonard had originally planned to hide in this resting room for Non-Player Characters, waiting to leave the city.

But plans had changed, and he decided to take a stroll in the city to show his face.

Leonard, dressed in the Leather Armor outfit provided by Non-Player Characters, reverted to his previous disguised appearance and started to wander in the city.

With the Military officer’s token from the City Lord Manor, he could access some places previously off-limits to adventurers, and he could converse with some special Non-Player Characters.

In this way, he visited several places, the Military Supplies Office, the Arms Office, the Grain room…

It gave the impression that he had discovered some key clues and was undertaking a chain of quests.

There was no need to deliberately expose anything. All those who had entered this time were elites, with various card masters of the perception type among them.

Leonard didn’t think his movements were unnoticed.

Even from the very beginning when he entered the City Lord Manor, he guessed he might have been observed.

The Lionheart Family had come several times and would definitely find a way to keep a close watch on the key locations in Ironforge City Lord Manor and the city that were previously inaccessible.

An Adventurer who could enter these places would inevitably attract attention.

And just as expected…

After strolling around the city for not too long, Leonard was noticed by scouts from various factions.

“Look, that guy talked to that high-ranking officer for so long. When we went before, we couldn’t even”

“Yeah, Group 2 noticed him early on. This dude seems to have triggered a hidden task, and he’s even suspected of having entered the City Lord Manor before…”

“Do we have any idea on that person’s identity?”

“They should be someone sent by the Orlan Remnants.”

“Hm… keep an eye on him. That guy must have found a key clue. After he leaves the city, try to figure it out.”

“…”
