Chapter 31: Chapter 31 “Half a Year” and “Sneak Attack” (Seeking Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
Time flees in a twinkling.
The three suns hanging in the sky revolve around day and night without cease.
Milton Cheney had been in Far East City for more than half a year.
Far East City, Inner City Area, Jasmine Flower Residential Area.
Servants and maids were tidying up the somewhat messy living room.
Milton, after washing up, wiped his face with a wet handkerchief. A bit of stubble had already grown on his face.
Compared to half a year ago, Milton seemed more mature now.
“Who would have thought that the alcohol in this world could pack such a punch!”
Milton admitted that he had underestimated the strength of this world’s alcohol.
In his previous life, he drank quite a lot for social occasions. He thought that drinking would be a simple task, but he didn’t expect to drink too much last night.
Yesterday was his eighteenth birthday. Milton had a party at home. Quite a few people came over, including his father, Earl Arthur.
Unavoidably, he drank quite a bit of alcohol. He didn’t expect to get drunk with his physique at the peak knight level.
“I should drink less in the future. If the Black Robe Seeker’s Club had taken me by surprise last night for assassination, things could have gone wrong.” Milton rubbed his eyebrows. Even now, he still smelled a bit of alcohol.
Actually, Milton was overthinking it. If someone from the Black Robe Seeker’s Club dared to come last night, they would have been doomed.
“Iris, where’s William?”
Milton randomly stopped a maid and asked.
Iris, looking at the bare-chested and handsome Milton, blushed slightly.
She stammered, “Young Master, Lord William has gone to the market. He said that when you wake up, you can just go directly to City Hall.”
“Okay, got it.”
“Young Master, do you need me to help you get dressed?” “No need, you go about your work. I can manage it myself.”
Milton waved his hand and spoke.
It wasn’t that he was being pretentious. He just wasn’t used to letting others dress him.
Hearing Milton’s words, Iris looked a bit disappointed, but still curtsied and went back to tidying the living room.
After returning to his bedroom and getting dressed, Milton left the Jasmine Flower Residential Area.
The Jasmine Flower Residential Area was the wealthy district of Far East City. Most of the people from the foreign families settled in the Far East City live here.
The price range of a residence here is quite high. But for Milton, it didn’t matter.
All the residences here were actually assets of the Golden Lion Family. People living here had to pay rent to the family.
There was a winding path from the residential area to the city center.
Walking along the path, Milton suddenly felt something amiss in his surroundings, so he subconsciously scanned the area.
It was too quiet. Although this place was rarely populated, it had never been as quiet as it was now.
There were not only no human sounds, but even the animals were silent.
Thus, Milton, upon entering, immediately noticed something wrong.
Milton was instinctively on alert and began to observe the surrounding environment.
He had walked this path more than once, and its surroundings were etched in his mind.
If something was amiss, he would detect it right away.
However, as he sized up his surroundings, Milton didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. But he remained alert nonetheless.
Milton continued walking with an unchanged expression, but his body was on high alert to react instantly if need be.
Suddenly, several tentacles emerged from Milton’s shadow. These tentacles quickly entwined Milton with astonishing speed.
“Wizard!”
Milton, who had been ready all along, reacted extremely fast.
In the past half-year, there had not been a shortage of assassination attempts by members of the Black Robe Seeker’s Club, but most of the attackers were official knights.
Not once had a wizard apprentice taken action, which had bred a sense of complacency in Milton.
He had thought that the Black Robe Seeker’s Club wouldn’t dare to be so audacious. Little did he expect that they would dare to strike even in the largest city in the Far East Territory.
It should be known that the Far East City alone has thousands of town guards
Is the Black Robe Seekers’ Club not afraid of going on a suicide mission?
The life of a wizard can be very precious, and seldom would wizards put themselves into danger.
[Knight Skill•Burst]
[Knight SkillCharging Qi]
Milton Cheney instantly unleashed two knight skills.
The golden airflow within the Life Seed began to surge and flow around Milton’s entire body.
The arms sprouting from the shadows were directly broken free by Milton. The next moment, without any hesitation,
Milton swiftly unsheathes the knight sword shimmering with silver light and held it firmly in his hand.
The man hiding in the darkness did not expect Milton’s reaction to be so fast.
“The information is wrong. Vernon is not a Quasi-Knight, he’s at least a late-stage Knight. Who the hell sent this information? The discrepancy is so significant!”
The Wizard Apprentice hiding in the dark shook, his pupils shock, swearing silently to himself.
A regular Quasi-Knight couldn’t escape his [Zero Ring Magic•Shadow Touch].
You must know that this is indeed a true Zero Ring Magic.
The sudden realization brought panic to the one hiding in the dark, revealing his presence.
Milton, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the hidden Wizard Apprentice who had attempted to ambush him.
While Milton wasn’t certain of this Wizard Apprentice’s level, the fact that he mostly attacked from the shadows suggested that he was not very strong.
Besides, the two were quite close together. While the Apprentice might be powerful, he couldn’t compare in physique to Milton, the Peak Knight. [Knight SkillArmor Splitting Slash]
The golden energy flowed from Milton’s hand, wrapped around the silvery-white knight sword, turning it golden yellow.
At the next moment, Milton made a slashing motion towards the Wizard Apprentice hiding in the darkness.
However, this Wizard Apprentice also reacted quickly. His Zero Ring Magic was nearly an instant cast.
[Zero Ring Magic•Shadow Clone]
The Wizard Apprentice, who was rooted in his place, was split in half by Milton’s Armor Splitting Slash.
But there was no surprise on Milton’s face.
Because what was split apart by him was not the Wizard Apprentice, but a kind of split body technique used.
This was the first time Milton saw such a technique.
“Has he fled?”
Milton stood in place, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. His knight sword regained its original silvery-white color.
Milton’s judgment was not wrong. The Wizard Apprentice wasn’t strong, at most a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice. But he had more than a few tricks up his sleeve.
If he had been a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, Milton would definitely not have been able to escape from his tentacles.
Milton admitted he had underestimated the Black Robe Seekers’ Club and the Wizard Apprentices.
Even a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice is a true wizard and not so easy to deal with.
“What a hassle!”
Milton sighed slightly in his heart. His Peak Knight prowess was exposed the moment he attacked.
After understanding Milton’s true strength, their assassinations would either not happen at all, or only come even more ferociously.
This time, a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice was dispatched for the assassination; who knows if a Level 2 wizard apprentice would come next time.
Even though he had the protection of a Grand Knight, just like now, William could not be by his side every moment; he relied mostly on himself.
However, what Milton didn’t know was that his worries were somewhat unnecessary, because the Black Robe Seekers’ Club simply did not have a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.
This assassination attempt against him had already constituted a great risk for the Black Robe Seekers’ Club. Plus, they must prevent the fierce counterattack from the Golden Lion Family.
If they had a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, they would have sent him long ago.bender
After all, this was not a novel where one could send one minor enemy after another for leveling up.
Next, Milton remained completely on guard.
Fortunately, the Black Robe Seekers’ Club hadn’t gone mad enough to continue attempting to assassinate him.
Milton quickly arrived at the City Hall.
Upon reaching the City Hall, Milton immediately found William and informed him about the suspected ambush by a Wizard Apprentice..
