The knight’s sword instantly transformed into a brilliant red light.
In an instant, it pierced through the chest of the Death Warrior.
However, a black light flashed on the Death Warrior’s chest, and he did not die immediately.
The next moment, the carriage burst open, countless planks scattered in all directions, revealing Milton Cheney inside the carriage.
Milton’s face was calm, gently extending the knight’s sword that he had been holding in his hand.
Facing the dagger aimed at his forehead, there was not a hint of panic in Milton’s eyes, only a serene calmness like a lake. A silver light flashed by.
[Quasi-Knight TechniqueLionheart Slash]!
In William’s heart filled with regret and anger at the moment, all he could see was this silver light.
Even in the eyes of the Death Warrior, there was a hint of shock.
They were not entirely devoid of any emotions, when their emotions fluctuated extremely, they would still reveal a bit of their feelings.
One could imagine how great the turmoil in the Death Warrior’s heart was at this moment.
The silvery-white knight’s sword slit the Death Warrior’s throat, and fresh blood gushed out.
The Death Warrior could only watch as the toxin-coated dagger came close to Milton but could not come any nearer.
The next moment, William rushed over, pulling out the long sword embedded in the Death Warrior’s chest.
With another stroke, he cut the Death Warrior at the waist.
Fresh blood stained the area, even if a wizard arrived now, they could not save this Death Warrior.
“Young Master, I…”
William’s face was full of shame, he seemed to want to say something while kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Milton interrupted William’s words:
“Mr. William, this is not your fault. The preparation of the person behind the scenes is much more thorough than we could have imagined.”
While stretching out his hand to help William up, Milton was not one to ignore acts of kindness.
If not for William during this attack, it is highly likely that he would have been killed.
Although this was William’s duty, Milton would not simply forget his kindness, after all, this was a life-saving grace.
It’s like if you had a subordinate who saved your life, wouldn’t you remember his kindness?
Noticing Milton’s understanding, gratitude filled William’s eyes as his expression gradually calmed down.
Since the incident had already occurred, anger wasn’t going to solve anything.
William spoke: “Young Master, the Death Warrior who just attacked you took a magic potion!
Only wizards or wizard apprentices are able to concoct such a thing.
The person behind this attack on the Golden Lion Family is definitely no small fry!”
At this point, William no longer thought that the person behind the scenes was solely targeting Milton.
After all, with such a massive force, the target was very likely the Golden Lion Family.
Milton pondered for a moment, as this scenario was not present in the simulation.
He knew that some actions in reality could trigger the butterfly effect, making his life diverge from the simulation.
What was the factor that triggered the butterfly effect this time? After pondering for a while, Milton understood.
Quite clearly, it was the visit to the Golden Lion Coliseum.
In the third simulation, Milton had never been to the Golden Lion Coliseum, so this incident did not happen.
But in reality, he did go to the Golden Lion Coliseum.
As his life trajectory differed from the simulation, the events he experienced afterwards would naturally differ as well.
“Mr. William, could it be that the person behind the scenes accidentally obtained the magic potion? There are wizards in the kingdom, it’s just that very few of them would come to this barren Subcontinent,” Milton suggested.
Milton Cheney softly asked his question.
Upon hearing this, William shook his head, denying Milton’s assumption.
If someone merely accidentally obtained the magic potion, then the person behind it needed to prepare more than ten potions.
After all, there were more than ten carriages traveling in different directions with Milton.
However, things were not like that.
The assault was clearly premeditated, as it could be seen from the resolution of those death warriors that they were sure Milton was in this carriage.
The method was very much like a wizard’s magic.
William, who was familiar with wizards, knew a particular spell a wizard apprentice could perform.
That was the [Zero Ring Magic.Tracking Spell].
So, William started, “Young Master, since things have already happened, I’ll not keep some secrets from you any longer. You will learn about them sooner or later anyway.”
Although Milton was of high status, he was only the second son of an Earl, not the Earl himself. Thus, he would not know some information if no one told him.
“The kingdom indeed has no wizards in public, but there is a Wizard’s Aid
Society privately. The exact name of this society is unknown, but the Society Master is a genuine Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.” Upon hearing this, Milton was shocked.
“A Level 3 Wizard Apprentice?
Why would such an existence establish an aid society in such a barren kingdom?
This is too illogical.”
Milton’s words were reasonable, for a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice was the strongest existence below wizards.
Even on the Wizard Continent, their status was not low. How could such being possibly come to a Subcontinent?
An ordinary wizard who cultivates the Wizard Meditation Technique to advance to a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice has at least a two hundred year lifespan.
If such a being wanted to target Milton’s family, it would be like throwing a
stone at an egg. ?rne 001aen Lion F amuy would nave no resistance at all.
Hearing Milton’s words, William could only shake his head in bitter amusement. How could he know what those wizards were thinking?
However, he did not lie. Most of the nobles in the kingdom are aware of this private Wizard’s Aid Society.
“Young Master, you need not worry too much. It’s just an example.
The odds are high that the person behind this is not from the Wizard’s Aid Society.
Actually, this Wizard’s Aid Society has a good reputation among the various nobles in the kingdom.
It’s highly likely that the person behind this somehow found a Wild Wizard Apprentice.
When we get back, I’ll ask the Lord whether we know who’s targeting the Golden Lion Family.”
Milton nodded in agreement and did not continue to respond.
When William mentioned the Wild Wizard, Milton instinctively thought of someone.
Yes, it was that Wild Wizard Apprentice who had cursed the original host before Milton’s transmigration.
But this time, Milton thought more carefully. He wondered if the scheming against the Golden Lion Family began before he had even transmigrated.
If the original host offending that wizard apprentice was part of the scheme, then everything could be connected.
After all, if Milton had not transmigrated, then the original host, that is, Milton himself, would already be dead.
But that didn’t make sense either, because there was no trace of a wizard in all the previous simulations.
If it was a premeditated scheme, wouldn’t they have become even more desperate after discovering that Milton hadn’t died from the Cursed Magic? Like it’s happening now.
Unable to understand, even with his superior spiritual power, Milton couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it anymore.
After all, there would be new simulation count in a few days, where everything would become clear.
Milton and William got on the horse.
The carriage was now unrideable, and they had to ride the same horse as quickly as possible to return to the Golden Lion Family.
The white steed galloped away, stirring up clouds of dust beneath its hooves..
