"Car–Cardinal Tian Yong…?" The deacon stammered. Cardinal Tian Yong was the highest-ranking Holy Temple member in this city. In a way, she could be considered the city mayor. She oversaw its governance.
Lin Li nodded. She whispered, "Keep this a secret, or you will get into trouble. Even Bishop Tian Jung is not aware of this next secret mission."
"Uh…" The deacon felt conflicted. If that was the case, he wished he hadn't been told.
The deacon's expression was easily read, so Lin Li explained, "The reason I told you this is that you must understand the severity of the situation. This man here will be our undercover agent. He is instrumental in the secret mission, but he needs the Citizen Crest for the job, and he needs it now because the caravan he follows is leaving this noon. Do you get the gist now?"
"I–I will get his Citizen Crest processed immediately!" The deacon said.
