"Then Lord Grey Raven, you must be careful to hide your strength. The thin old man took a deep breath, showed a serious expression, and reminded Richard kindly, "

After all, the Pombo family is a wizard family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the background is not weak. Although it is a temporary recruitment, there will be no shortage of detection methods to prevent the infiltration of wizards from hostile forces - there is a precedent for this kind of thing. It's not that I doubt your strength, but I just hope that you will be careful not to make mistakes in your plan because of the details. ”

"Thank you for the reminder. Richard said, smiling, "I'm really not worried about hiding my strength, especially hiding my strength and pretending to be a wizard apprentice." ”

The thin old man looked up at Richard, his eyes revealing a bit of puzzlement.

Richard said slowly, "The reason is simple, because in essence, I am a wizard apprentice. ”

He wasn't wrong, because he was following the path of an apocalyptic wizard, and there was only a small amount of stable mana storage in the mana source in his body, which was comparable to the amount of a wizard's apprentice, and the rest were active free energy elements.

Therefore, in most conventional ways, he is a wizard apprentice - although he is a wizard apprentice who can easily damage and kill even third-level wizards and immortal strange species. Because of this, when he faced the attacks of the Truth Society and the Supreme Order God Society, he was almost unaffected.

"Huh?" the shriveled old man didn't know about the situation, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and looked Richard up and down, always feeling that it didn't look like it.

The Raven-sama in front of him is just a wizard apprentice?

A wizard apprentice has the status of an envoy, and he asked the north to send a message to take special care?

Impossible, right?

Richard didn't explain this, and after learning about the rest of the situation, he stood up and left the intelligence agency neatly, leaving only the stunned thin old man in the room.

"Impossible, can't it?" muttered the thin old man.

......

Ten minutes later.

Richard returned to the lively "The Poet and the Wine" tavern.

He was not interested in the tavern's storytellers, nor the delicious wine, and even somewhat resented the lively atmosphere of the tavern - the only thing that attracted him was the food in the tavern.

Because he was in a hurry, he didn't eat for a day, and it was only now that he had solved the problem of the initial action and determined the plan of action for the next three days, and then he felt hungry and was ready to replenish it.

Walking into the tavern, walking to the bar, ordering a few portions of food as he wished, Richard sat back in the seat he had chosen earlier, and waited patiently.

After a while, the food was delivered.

First of all, the steaming, golden and crispy pancakes are served on a shallow plate, and the aroma is so fragrant that diners at several tables nearby can't help but see.

This is followed by sausages wrapped in buckwheat batter and brushed with maple syrup, then tender beef stewed to a thin scale, and a large bowl of vegetable soup with small pieces of vegetables floating in them.

Richard picked up the cutlery and ate quickly and quietly, halfway through his meal, when suddenly a sound drifted into his ears.

"One mushroom soup, one special sausage, no others, just these two. ”

Richard paused his eating movements, put down his knife and fork, swallowed the piece of beef in his mouth, and looked towards the bar. I saw a burly man of about 1.8 meters, who refused the waiter's recommended menu with a straight face, insisting that there were only two kinds of "mushroom soup" and "special sausage".

And this is one of the preparations that need to be made to connect with the intelligence agencies of the Soma Alliance.

"Coincidence, or maybe it's someone who works for the Soma Alliance's intelligence agency?" Richard guessed as he watched the man.

If it's the former, then there's nothing to pay attention to, and if it's the latter, there's also nothing to pay attention to - after all, he and the intelligence agencies of the Soma alliance are just working together, and it's enough to successfully connect to get the information they need, and as for the rest of the people who connect with the other party later, it has nothing to do with him at all.

Thinking so, he didn't withdraw his gaze, but continued to look at the burly man standing in front of the bar. He didn't know the other party's face, but he inexplicably felt that the other party was a little familiar, as if he had seen it before.

Looking at the other party like this for a few seconds, looking at the other party's outstanding height of about 1.8 meters, Richard raised his eyebrows, and suddenly had an answer: "The other party seems to be the orthodox leader of the Pombo family's magic knights." ”

"Yes, it's him, Gawain Nova Tronck! Although his face has been delicately disguised, changing details such as eye size, eyebrow length, and blackening his face, the outline of his body cannot be changed—after all, he is only a knight in disguise, not a wizard with a spell of change. The most important thing is that the other party's height is too easy to recognize, and the entire St. Louis City is afraid that there are not much. After a few more seconds, Richard made a final confirmation.

After confirmation, there is doubt.

What are they doing here?

The other party, as the orthodox leader of the magic knight of the Pombo family, is strong, in a high position, and has great power. After dressing up in disguise, this "poet and wine" tavern is definitely not as simple as coincidentally wanting to eat "sausages" and "mushroom soup", nine out of ten is to connect with the intelligence agencies of the Soma Alliance, and looking at the appearance of the other party, it is probably not the first time to do this.

What is the purpose of the other party and the intelligence agency of the Soma Alliance?

The intelligence agency of the Soma Alliance did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to this St. Louis city. Hiding in the hidden tracks of Tibet and painstakingly collecting intelligence is not to apply for the position of the Pang Bo family's housekeeper and help the Pang Bo family develop well. They were enemies of the Pombo family and prepared for future operations.

To put it simply, they are hostile to the Pombo family.

And as a core member of the Pombo family, Gawain, the orthodox leader of the Demon Knight, secretly connected with the intelligence agency of the Soma Alliance, which is very abnormal.

It is likely that the other party, the existence of thick eyebrows and big eyes, does not know when he betrayed the Pombo family and turned to serve the intelligence agency of the Soma Alliance. Or, in some cases, the two have common interests and cooperate with each other, as he is now doing with the intelligence agencies of the Soma Alliance.

Anyway, one thing is clear, the water in St. Louis is really deep, and he can't help but think differently.

If Gawain betrayed the Pombo family a long time ago, then many things have to be looked at from a different angle.

For example, the previous attack outside the city.

Could that be a deliberate plan by Gawain? As for the purpose...... What is certain at the moment is that through this incident, a deputy commander of the Demon Knight was successfully removed from the management position, and the Pombo family was temporarily recruited to facilitate the execution of the rest of the plan.

So...... The reason why he entered the city tonight and had the opportunity to infiltrate the Pombo family at noon tomorrow was not a coincidence or luck, but completely hitchhiking.

It's kind of interesting.

Richard's lips pursed.

He was not dissatisfied with this, but he was a little vigilant, because some of the other party's plans might affect his actions.

Thinking about this, Richard picked up his knife and fork again and began to eat, moving very slowly, observing Gawain quietly as he ate.
