The investigation was completed quickly.

"The main members of the delegation, including Viscount Heinrich, plus the knights and attendants, total 19 people. If you count the cooks, grooms, servants and other menials, the total number is 104."

"The investigation results show that, just as Mayer said, all 18 knight attendants are indeed extraordinary beings, but their levels are relatively low, around Lv.3-Lv.5. All of them have more or less sensed the existence of a conspiracy, but they themselves are unaware of it."

"Another strange thing is that according to Medea's previous telepathy on the black-robed man Adams, this knight attendant of the mind sequence once noticed that there was a high-level extraordinary person in the team—probably around Lv. 18 or 19."

"But this time, the search of every individual did not find the existence of this high-level extraordinary person."

"I got the list of envoys provided by the Weisbach family from Eleanor's brother Ludwig, and confirmed that the content on the list is consistent with the number and names of the people being searched this time."

"That is to say, maybe Adams' memory is wrong. Maybe the high-level extraordinary person has left the team and found someone else to replace him. Or even, maybe he just made some kind of disguise to avoid our scrutiny and actually still stay in this team."

"There are three possibilities, with different risk levels, increasing from the beginning to the end." Sheila concluded, "The initial investigation to force this person to reveal himself has yielded no results, and we have no more excuses to conduct a deeper investigation. For now, we can only follow the delegation."

"Okay." Ask approved of her judgment. "Let's set off first. Everyone remember to stay alert at all times. Also, after leaving Mingxing City, try to avoid acting alone. Medea and Nora will use their mental vision to determine the location of all team members every half an hour."

"Everything will be handled according to the team battle regulations, understand?"

"Understood!" the girls responded in unison.

The Wolf envoy team quietly left Mingxing City. Viscount Heinrich's expression was extremely serious because he knew that this was the last time to enter the Duchy of Bavaria peacefully.

If there is a chance next time, it will be war.

The expressions of the knights and attendants were even more nervous than he was, because everyone had guessed that this mission was not just an ordinary diplomatic visit, there must be some conspiracy - the problem was that no one knew what the conspiracy was! Once it broke out in the Duchy of Bavaria, they might become scapegoats and be slaughtered by the furious Weisbach family.

Many people even maliciously speculated that the reason why the Wolf family chose low-level extraordinary people like them was to cover up for the mastermind behind the scenes and confuse the public.

Therefore, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the Weisbach family and the commander-in-chief of the escort, the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, everyone was very honest and dutiful along the way. They didn't even dare to say any nonsense and just walked forward in silence.

The delegation's departure route was the same as their arrival route, heading south from the city of München through the village of Berg, the Jachenau Mountains, the city of Innsbruck, then crossing the Brenner Pass into the autonomous city-state of Verona, and then turning west into the Lombardy territory.
