Chapter 571: Chapter 195: Noah Wright and the Mysterious Archer_4

But there were no maybes.

Leonard Churchill had no intention of asking either.

After all, if it wasn’t an enemy, it was better not to ask about someone’s secret if they hadn’t offered it up themselves.

Moreover, there was an even more preposterous fact.

Having one Noah Wright by his side was surprising enough, yet there was a second one!

In Leonard’s recent perception, the Archer who had offered help also didn’t have a single Negative Emotion Thread spilling out.

This made him feel it was extremely implausible.

Leonard didn’t believe he could randomly encounter two individuals who, like him, had Spirit issues.

The most likely possibility was that this Archer was an extremely skilled master.

“Tsk tsk… still can’t underestimate the others, huh.”

Leonard murmured to himself in his mind.

When he had encountered Vivian White before, he felt the team’s composition was a bit complicated.

Now, having met these two, he realized it was even more complex than it appeared.

But likewise, the Archer had shown no hostility but instead had been a big help.

Leonard had no intention of probing.

The more powerful individuals there were, the better.

Yet, his mind instinctively thought of something else.

It was outrageous that two such characters appeared in his team, specifically on this route.

Could it be that they, too, somehow knew the plot progression and guessed they would encounter Mage Gandalf on this path?

But how could they know?

Moreover, they didn’t seem to be the ones leading the team, so why did they choose this route?

Once he entertained the thought of a conspiracy, a series of associations unconsciously surfaced in Leonard’s mind.

He even felt like the battle occurring in this Nameless Canyon was like a coincidence intervened by some mysterious force.

However, before he could ponder further, Enlightenment appeared again.

“Red Robe Shaman killed; Team B-level mission complete, Contribution points +300, do you choose to settle and exit?”

Everyone in the space saw the Enlightenment notification at the same time.

Leonard squinted his eyes slightly and thought to himself, “Tsk tsk, they really did take him down.”

It wasn’t really a surprise.

After all, seeing Vivian White appear, he knew that this B-level mission wasn’t going to be too hard to complete.

But for them to finish it so quickly was indeed beyond expectation.

The bait was personally laid by him, and there was a high probability that the Red Robe Shaman died searching for that bait when he encountered Vivian’s elite group and was taken out.

It must be a formidable line-up.

Although he presumed their casualty rate was certainly not low, the dead weren’t him, and Leonard felt a schadenfreude sense of relief.

Now that this legendary 100% fatality second-phase storyline was completed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What was more subtle was the fact that the prompt now allowed them to settle and exit?

For those Hunters who came in for money, this was truly the best opportunity.

Having fulfilled their contract and still being alive was the greatest fortune.

As soon as Enlightenment appeared, people in the canyon who were resting suddenly stood up, stepping into the Twisted Light Gate without hesitation.

Even though they didn’t earn many Contribution points, it was enough for them.

This “Battle of Ironforge” storyline had hardly begun when so many had already perished, and staying any longer spelled extreme danger for all.

With the group halved in an instant, the remaining ones, though they looked distressed, stayed behind.

The Hunters who took money could leave.

But not these noble’s private soldiers.

However, in a moment, those eight people turned their gazes towards Leonard and the other two.

Leonard was here for the Holy Grail, his goal yet unachieved; he certainly wouldn’t leave.

But…

Leonard turned to glance at Noah Wright beside him and then cast a quick look at the silent Archer.

All three exchanged a glance in their peripheral vision, yet none breached the tacit agreement to ask anything.

Leonard smiled at this realization.

Their motives were now clear.

They were all here for the Holy Grail, after all.

And at that moment, Leonard’s ears twitched slightly as he heard the clinking of armor, and his smile grew more complex.

That was the sound of friction from human Knight armor.

Hearing it now most likely meant the “big shot” from Ironforge had emerged.

The smile on Leonard’s face wasn’t from the self-satisfaction of guessing correctly.

Rather, he was amused by the accumulation of coincidences, powerful experts, and unknown sources of information—all of which made the plot of the Alternate Dimension increasingly elusive and mystifying.

He enjoyed this kind of challenging feeling.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Leonard to watch a mysterious team emerge from the depths of the forest.

He immediately recognized the cloaked but taller-than-average figure of the White Mage Gandalf.
