Without a doubt, this peculiar feeling of encountering other lords was the first time for Leo Ray.

It was impossible for lords who were strangers to each other to view each other’s and their subordinates’ attribute columns.

Therefore, after slightly calming his mind, Leo Ray continued to look at the two of them without showing any reaction.

The young man and woman, dressed as ordinary residents of the city, wore simple clothes as lords.

The male lord had a short sword around his waist, and judging from its somewhat shabby scabbard and rough hilt, it was merely a very ordinary Tier 1 weapon.

The female lord on the other hand, wore a headband featuring local floral designs, and had a long ponytail—similar to Scarlett, along with an above-average pretty face, giving people a sense of an athletic girl.

“It seems that the two of them have territories somewhere nearby in the mountains, ” Leo Ray thought thoughtfully.

Thinking that since they could stroll around the city wearing local attire and weapons, it meant they had some purchasing power. With this pace of development, it was likely someone among them had already awakened some sort of talent.

“Forget it, it’s more important to handle matters now. If possible, we can make contact with them later,” Leo Ray shifted his gaze back as the two gradually disappeared.

Soon after, a muscular, dark-skinned middle-aged man carrying a light blue fat sheep that emitted a faint chill strolled into the tavern’s main entrance. “Hahaha, today’s harvest is quite bountiful!”

A loud and hearty laughter followed: “Olivia, pour a mug of ale for your old man to quench his throat, and don’t forget to add ice cubes.”

Upon taking a closer look, the brawny man was a little older than Mason Banks, with his hair at his temples not yet fully gray.

However, his almost-exploding muscles were exactly the same as Mason Banks’.

“Indeed, birds of a feather flock together,” Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Father, quickly put down the Frost Sheep. We have guests visiting, and, how many times have I told you not to drink early in the morning?”

On the other side, the cook Olivia frowned slightly, apologized to Leo Ray with a smile, and then introduced the brawny man: “These guests are friends of Uncle Mason Banks.’

“Friends of that old boy Mason? No wonder my eyelids have been twitching these past few days, it turns out that distinguished guests are coming.

Hahaha!”

Upon hearing this, the brawny man immediately tossed the fat sheep aside, strode to the front of the crowd and greeted: “Gentlemen, I apologize if my manners were lacking, please do not take offense.”

“So, are you Mr. Matthew?”

Standing up and returning the greeting, Leo Ray smiled faintly, “It is actually us who have inconvenienced you by suddenly visiting.”

“Not at all, Mason and I were sworn brothers back in the Mercenary Corps, it’s my pleasure,” the brawny man named Matthew waved his hand, indicating for everyone not to be so polite.

Immediately after that, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Leo Ray: “Young man, you’ve reached the level of Tier 2 Senior Powerhouses at such a young age; your future is boundless.”

At this point, Matthew winked furiously at Olivia on the side, causing her cheeks to flush and she scurried away like a frightened bunny.

Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Undoubtedly, with the suppressed auras of the five around him, he once again became the most eye-catching individual in the group.

“By the way, what is the purpose of your visit to Golin City?”

After chatting about some past events from the Mercenary Corps, the tavern owner Matthew, who had become familiar with everyone, couldn’t help but ask.

“To tell you the truth, sir, it’s for the Alchemist Qualification Assessment.”

Draining the tea from his cup, Leo Ray candidly replied. “Oh? Is the young man an Alchemist?”

Matthew looked astonished when he heard Leo Ray’s words.

“You misunderstand, sir. Our objective is not the conference itself, but the alchemists who will be attending it,” Leo Ray waved his hand and explained as he put down the teacup.

“I see, so you all have come to buy Magic Medicine,” Matthew finally understood and his face brightened with realization.

At this moment, Matthew had a hint of respect for Leo Ray in his eyes.

Without a doubt, in this world, those who can afford Magic Medicine are either wealthy or noble, all belonging to the elite class of society.

Remembering this, Matthew, who had been in the mercenary world for decades, looked at Taylor and the others nearby who were very low-key.

Although he, a Tier 2 Peak Level powerhouse, could not see the strength of any of the subordinates present, his intuition told him that these people were more than likely, no ordinary individuals.

“It seems Mason has introduced me to an incredible nobleman,” Matthew’s tone was clearly more respectful, “Is there anything we can do to serve Your Excellency?”

“Mr. Matthew, you’re too kind,” Leo Ray played with the glass teacup in his hand and smiled indifferently, “We’re new to the city and are not familiar with its details, especially the venue for the Alchemist Conference in the afternoon, related matters, and the situation of alchemists attending the conference. I hope you can enlighten us a bit.”

“Well, you’ve asked the right person,” Matthew smiled confidently, signaling Olivia who was hiding behind the counter and peeking at them to prepare a fresh pot of tea, and continued, “Recently, the most discussed topic in the entire Golin City has been this Alchemist Qualification Assessment.”

“As the owner of a tavern, I believe that no one other than the people involved would know more than me.”

Next, Matthew began an endless introduction to Leo Ray and the others..
