…

The difficulty of the plot had suddenly increased, and for the weak, it could be a potentially deadly predicament.

But for strong teams, a B-tier difficulty was just right for practice.

It wasn’t long after the Enlightenment Display appeared that Young Master Sack sent someone to invite Leonard Churchill’s team for a tactical discussion.

A few minutes later, in a small cabin.

Young Master Sack sat in a chair, listening to the reports of exploration achievements.

“We triggered a C-tier task at the Blacksmith Shop, needing to find some special ore in the forest…”

“Sir, we also triggered a shareable side quest, investigating the footprints in the Dense Forest behind the hill…”

“There’s also a D-tier task to hunt Demon Beasts wild boars…”

“…”

It had to be said, although no valuable plot was found, all sorts of fancy side quests were gathered, a dozen or so in bits and pieces.

Leonard listened with a bittersweet smile.

These guards of the Landon Family had considerable combat power among those of the Same Tier; however, when it really came to exploring the plot, they truly… dragged their feet.

They simply went door to door, asking questions and triggering events.

With this most rudimentary way of exploring the plot, of course, they couldn’t unearth anything of value.

Spatial Will encouraged adventurers to explore, not to explore like fools.

Listening to the reports of others, Leonard suddenly thought of his past self.

At that time, seeing Mushroom Head Jerry’s ability to control everything, was it not the same kind of impressive but incomprehensible prowess?

Coming back to his senses, now that he had reached a higher realm, he realized that his once-normal hyperactive thinking ability had far surpassed that of ordinary people.

The truth of the world was always there, completely unhidden when viewed from a logical perspective.

It was just that ordinary people couldn’t “see” it.

Suddenly, Leonard had an inexplicable enlightenment.

He became even more acutely aware of where the difference between “Personality” and “Demigod” in their tiers lay.

While he was thinking this,

Young Master Sack also noticed that everyone from Sixteen Team had glances flickering, almost as if the words “we have something to say” were written on their faces.

Noticing this, Young Master Sack, holding a hint of expectation, asked, “Serli, does Sixteen Team have any discoveries?”

Serli didn’t take any credit, and he bluntly stated, “Allen and David triggered an unknown difficulty ‘Hidden Mission’ earlier.”

Hidden Mission!

At these words, everyone, including Young Master Sack, was suddenly shocked and then delighted.

At this moment, Leonard took out the bundle he had received at the herb shop.

His explanation was not as detailed as it had been with David, and he spoke only briefly.

The others thought Leonard and his companion had simply run into great luck and accidentally triggered a hidden plot.

But the process of triggering it wasn’t really of interest to them.

What they truly cared about was what the hidden mission entailed!

Upon opening the bundle, it revealed an ancient tome bound in Demon Beast leather.

However, the moment these Plot Item props were taken out, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over them; everyone’s brow furrowed at once.

Because the Classic Books were scribed in ancient characters unknown to them.

…

“Serli, can you understand what’s written here?”

“Sorry, sir. This… is ancient text from the era of Altranc. The academy has decoded very little of it, so I can’t read it either.”

…

The air froze for a few moments.

Everyone thought they had a key Plot Item, but it appeared to be of no use.

Moreover, the Enlightenment Display indicated that this was an item from the Trial Space that could not be taken out.

The normal course of action would be to discard it.

If one wanted extra rewards from the academy’s archeology department, they could try to make a copy to take out.

But Young Master Sack surely wouldn’t care about that little reward from the academy.

What he was more concerned about was its relation to the hidden mission?

Even Serli of the Lizard Race couldn’t recognize these ancient characters, let alone the others.

However, at this moment, Serli looked toward his teammate Leonard.

Sack also knew that among his prospective Knights, this “Allen” was the only Scholar-tier card master.

Holding onto the last shred of hope, he asked, “Can you decipher the contents of these ancient characters?”

However, unexpectedly, Leonard displayed a look of regret: “Sorry, sir, I can’t recognize them either.”

He was telling the truth.

He had indeed seen numerous incomplete documents from the civilization of Altranc in the library.

But the ancient language experts at the academy hadn’t decoded it, so he couldn’t just understand it any better.

Now faced with a complete Classic Book in the Alternate Dimension, with some time, he indeed could decipher it.

However, the tome was filled with professional Magic terminology, and he estimated that deciphering it would take at least several days.

Just as Leonard spoke these words, everyone could not hide their disappointment.

It was as if the announcement of the hidden plot had reached a dead end.

However, only David, standing aside, was full of confusion.

He couldn’t understand why the item Leonard had gone through so much trouble to obtain would turn out to be completely useless.

But before a disappointed look could appear on the faces of the crowd, Leonard directly said, “Actually… we don’t need to understand it; the content recorded in this Classic Book can still be used.”

“???”

At these words, the room fell oddly silent for a moment.

Eleven pairs of eyes all looked over, staring at Leonard’s face, and the hope that had just been extinguished flared up again.

…

Leonard had already encountered many such situations during his exploration of the Alternate Dimension.

The ancient texts of bygone civilizations were tests of Spatial Will.

It was, after all, a form of selection.

Only those who could understand were qualified to obtain help from the plot within the text.

In the realm of Low-Level Card Masters, those who could understand were one in ten thousand.

Yet although he couldn’t understand, Leonard, with his current thinking ability and knowledge, had other methods.
