Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Kael silently lowered his head.

When he raised his head again, a smile had already appeared on his face.

But in secret, Kael had already started to communicate with Franca through telepathy.

"Sister Franca, do you know the identity of the young man with the silver eagle pattern on his shoulder garment?"

Upon hearing this, Franca discreetly turned her head to glance at the person nearby, and then replied with telepathy:

"It's the youngest son of the Gransham family. The Steel Eagle pattern has always been the Gransham family crest."

"...Who? Which Gransham?"

"The one you're thinking of, the son of Marquis Gransham, with whom we had some conflicts and clashes before."

"Marquis Gransham's son... Damn, has that guy even wedged his son into the Silver Guard Army?"

"What, you don't want to deal with that child from the Gransham family?"

"Isn't that obvious? Who would want to deal with an enemy? And don't you think the Gransham family is overreaching? With both the Noble Council and the Silver Guard Army... Let's not forget, this guy is not a free man but a marquis with a territory!"

"I know what you're trying to say, but... there really isn't any reason to stop him. After all, strictly speaking, the Gransham family hasn't committed any crime.

Even his son entered the Silver Guard Army with fairly outstanding combat achievements, growing even stronger these past years than his ancestors."

"So why does it have to be a member of this family..."

"I actually think it's fine. Compared to his aggressive father, the next head of the Gransham family has a very good temperament."

"That's not what I'm worried about... Is there any way to exclude him? If not, find a way to at least keep him from being the first to know about the future movements of the Sky-splitting Knight during this inspection."

"...Impossible."

Kael's face showed an extremely troubled expression.

He seemed to understand why the Sky-splitting Knight remained unheard of until the destruction of the Bartlett Duchy.

If there were insiders colluding with the enemy, given the limited numbers of the Sky-splitting Knight, accurate information about them and their future direction could allow the enemy to detect fatal flaws and act directly against them.

It was even possible that through such targeted action, the entire team of the Sky-splitting Knight could be trapped and killed.

And judging from Franca's current stance, it was no longer possible to play a last-minute switch.

Kael could only heave a silent sigh and decided to activate plan B after the people from the Silver Guard Army left.

Soon, the group arrived at Kael's outdoor Magic Workshop in the Lancaster Territory.

What came into view was a spacious Magic Workshop.

The location was at the edge of a large ranch to the east of Titan City.

A separate area had been demarcated here, used as a cultivation base for the Gluttonous Slime Ranch.

Upon entering the Magic Workshop, the immaculate workshop floor and several large experimental tables could be seen.

Each table had its own set of tools and an accompanying series of Rune Truth, clearly designed for different purposes.

Alchemy tools related to the Magic Workshop were laid out in perfect order, as if even the sequence of their arrangement followed an internal logic, with each item placed in its specified spot.

All this revealed the meticulous nature of the master of the Magic Workshop.

Although Franca had been quite concerned about Kael's growth and development in the past, she didn't know much about the specifics of what Kael did beyond the Royal Capital.

Not to mention the few members of the Silver Guard Army.

Viscount Helois had a reputation. As a top genius, after the death of his father Anthony, he quickly took over the small frontier territory of Lancaster with the help of the Sword Maniac.

Under normal circumstances, it would almost take a decade to develop such a frontier territory from scratch.

Yet, since he took charge of the Lancaster Territory, there had been an earth-shattering change in him.

First, he became a student of that Magic Monarch of Transmutation, then leveraging the early resources from the Mage Academy, he completed tasks in various Mage Associations and Dungeons of Bartlett.

An external investment like this, given to Kael for approval and allocation, was undoubtedly a lucrative task.

By bringing in some industry veterans and "slightly" controlling the development progress of the occupational systems, one could skim a lot of benefits through constant flipping.

However, when Viscount Helois got his hands on the investment, he iterated on the "War Mage" system at an astonishingly fast pace.

The constant emergence of new Magic Models for the War Mage System, coupled with the ability to concoct Magic Potions, propelled him into stardom as an up-and-coming new talent and Magic Potion Master in the world of Mage Academia within the shortest time.

When the group came to the Bartlett Duchy from the Royal Court, they had asked the Bartlet Monarch.

The question was roughly "In the eyes of a Magic Monarch, just what level of talent does Viscount Helois belong to?"
