I'm really not a Sanctuary Warlock.

Although Barton was the president of the Adventurers' Guild, Chaos City was not highly regarded by the guild, so they only sent him, a level 40 scholar, to be the president, which led to him being exploited by Simon for a long time.

"Did you come to our Adventurers' Guild to take on a quest? Well, headquarters recently issued several diamond-level quests for around level 60. They are extremely difficult, but the rewards are quite generous, which is perfect for a strong player like you. Would you like to take a look?"

As Barton spoke, he pulled a roll of gold-embossed parchment from his pocket, carefully unfolded it, and prepared to show it to Lynn.

The entire guild hall fell silent instantly.

A level 60 diamond-level quest?

These words made the mercenaries around them, whose highest level was only in the twenties, feel like their brains weren't quite up to the task.

Looking at Lynn's excessively young face and then at Chairman Barton's obsequious manner, they all thought for a moment that they were hallucinating.

The most bewildered of all was the girl behind the counter.

She stared at the fanatical president, her mouth agape, feeling as if she were dreaming.

She only snapped out of her daze when Chairman Barton's questioning gaze fell on her, and she spoke with trembling lips.

"President... this gentleman... he's here... to process his Level 10 job change certificate."

Chapter 50 Lynn, the Cat Abuser

The smile on Patton's face vanished.

"You... what level did you say?"

Lynn touched his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.

This is truly inexplicable.

After all, who could believe that someone capable of unleashing such devastating magic had only just reached the threshold for job advancement?

His power stemmed from the powerful creatures he enslaved, not from his own rank.

But he couldn't tell any of this to anyone.

"President Barton, I am indeed here to obtain a Level 10 job change certificate."

Lynn didn't give Barton a chance to continue questioning and stated his request directly.

"I want to register for the Warlock class."

Patton's mind was racing.

Level 10 job transfer registration...

This person is definitely not a level 10.

There's only one possible reason he did this—he wanted to adopt a new identity.

A clean, unassuming sorcerer identity.

After all, according to the Adventurers' Guild's rules, basic information such as name and age can only be changed during the first job change registration.

As for the reason why this man did this, Patton couldn't understand it, nor dared to think about it.

He knew very well that curiosity killed the cat.

All he needed to do was meet all of the other party's demands.

Even if he did use this new identity to assassinate the king, he could still exonerate himself by claiming he was deceived.

After all, the highest-ranking member of the entire branch was himself, a scholar at level 40.

Isn't it normal to be deceived by someone who guarantees a level 60 minimum?

Having figured all this out, Barton's tense body instantly relaxed.

His face once again broke into an extremely respectful and enthusiastic smile.

"Of course, of course!"

Barton took the work from the counter girl and personally processed Lynn's paperwork.

As he spoke, he winked at the girl who was still standing there, stunned.

"What are you waiting for? Go and get the warlock's exclusive badge and identification documents."

"Yes Yes!"

The girl quickly ran towards the guild's storage room.

In less than twenty minutes, a brand-new job change certificate was respectfully delivered to Lynn.

The certificate clearly states Lynn's name, rank, and profession.

Name: Lynn

[Level: 10]

[Class: Warlock]

"Lord Lynn, this is a meditation method that our guild has prepared for novice warlocks."

Patton then pulled out a small, antique-looking booklet from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

"Of course, with your abilities, you must have better meditation techniques. This... consider it a souvenir."

Lynn took the booklet and flipped through it casually.

The meditation steps described inside were complicated and obscure, and the methods of guiding the elements in many places seemed very crude. Compared with the meditation method he learned from Anna, they were worlds apart.

It seems that what Anna gave him was indeed top-notch.

Thank you.

Lynn put the booklet away and nodded to Barton.

Seeing that the matter was settled, he turned to leave.

Just then, his gaze inadvertently swept across the commission panel next to the door, and in a corner, he saw a special commission without a rating.

The Mystery of the Mage Tower

[Request Details: At the ruins of the old mage tower in the center of Chaos City, eerie wails have been emanating from underground every night recently. The sounds are chilling and unsettling. We are seeking courageous adventurers to investigate and determine the source of the wails.]

Compensation: Determined based on survey results

Rating: None

The female knight's words echoed in his mind once more.

"Let's go to the Mage Tower; the secrets of this city are hidden beneath it."

It seems that wasn't just nonsense; there must be something beneath the mage tower.

Barton followed behind Lynn, intending to personally escort him out of the guild gate. When he saw Lynn's gaze fixed on the quest panel, he immediately stepped forward to introduce it.

"Sir, are you interested in this commission?"

"This was recently released by residents near the Mage Tower. Because the specific situation underground is unknown, the level of danger cannot be assessed, so the guild has not yet given a rating."

“We’ve sent several mercenary teams down there, but none of them have been able to get deep enough. We heard the environment down there is very complicated.”

Barton carefully observed Lynn's expression.

"What, Lord Lynn, are you planning to accept this commission?"

"Ah."

Lynn nodded.

"I'm going to the Mage Tower later."

"I see!"

"After you have investigated the matter thoroughly, you can come back at any time to submit the task. I will definitely apply for the highest possible reward for you."

Lynn didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the Adventurers' Guild.

The cat, Bai Bai, was squatting by the door, hugging its knees, idly sweeping the pebbles on the ground with its tail.

Upon seeing Lynn come out, she immediately stood up, her cat ears twitching excitedly.

"All done, meow? Where do we go now, meow?"

"Mage Tower".

……

Half an hour later, a person and a cat stood in front of a huge pile of ruins.

This is the former site of the Mage Tower.

As far as the eye can see, there are only broken walls and ruins, and the ground is covered with spider web-like cracks. It is impossible to tell that this place was once a towering mage tower.

"Good heavens..."

Lynn looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

That female knight was too ruthless.

I've heard of Don Quixote rushing towards windmills, but I've never heard of him actually taking them down.

This guy, on the other hand, razed the entire mage tower to the ground.

You're still the best.

"How...how do I find the entrance, meow?"

The cat walked around the ruins, its little face full of confusion.

Everywhere was blocked by piles of stones; there wasn't even a crack to squeeze through, let alone an entrance.

"The guild leader told me."

Lynn walked to an inconspicuous corner next to the ruins, where there was a manhole cover that had been moved.

Beneath the manhole cover lies a bottomless darkness, with a faint, damp, musty smell.

"The entrance is in the sewers; we need to go in from here."

The cat, Bai Bai, came closer and took a look; its beautiful cat eyes widened instantly.

"Meow..."

She took two steps back in alarm, and the kitten shook its head like a rattle.

"The sewers? How could I possibly go to a place like that?"

Lynn looked at her with disdain and remained silent.

I originally thought this catgirl was just a pretty face with no fighting ability, and that having her around would only be a burden.

But after witnessing that enormous fluffy beast, his opinion completely changed.

This cat is a fighter.

Since they can fight, we should definitely bring them along.

More combat power means more security.

Without further ado, he reached out and grabbed the trembling cat ear on Cat White's head.

"Meow, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Lynn ignored her struggles and flung her into the sewer entrance.

"Stop talking nonsense and get down here!"

"Meow... Help! A dog is abusing a cat."

Chapter 51 Meow, I've gotten into trouble again!

"Meow, are you sure there's an entrance to the mage tower in here?"

Cat White followed closely behind Lynn, her voice trembling.

Lynn carried a lantern he had "borrowed" from Cat Whitey to light the way ahead.

"Maybe we should go back. If there's a big rat, we're doomed, meow." White Cat's voice trembled even more, almost pleading.

Lynn stopped and glanced back at her.
