“Jasmine Flower Residential Area?”
William muttered to himself, as if he was evaluating the possibility of Milton’s words.
“If the Young Master believes that the Wizard Apprentice will hide in the residential area, then there’s no harm in checking it out. Would you like to join me, Young Master?”
“Hmm, I will accompany you, after all, I have faced that Wizard Apprentice directly before.”
Milton replied to William’s words.
He had just informed William of his theory that the Wizard Apprentice was likely hiding in the residential area.
Of course, this was purely his speculation.
Without lingering too long at the base of City Hall, the two immediately headed for the Jasmine Flower Residential Area.
They did not call upon the Town Guards to join them; firstly, because a large group of Town Guards would attract attention.
Secondly, if the Wizard Apprentice was indeed in the residential area, the Town Guards wouldn’t be of much use.
Once at their destination, Milton and William began to search for traces of the Wizard Apprentice throughout the Jasmine Flower Residential Area.
The pair were very thorough in their survey of the surrounding environment.
Although Milton knew from the simulation that the Wizard Apprentice was in the residential area,
The simulation did not provide him with a specific location, so he still needed to search on his own.
Throughout the search, Milton remained deep in thought, wondering why the Wizard Apprentice would choose to hide here.
Even though this was a rich residential area, the Town Guards did not discriminate between the rich and the poor, they conducted searches wherever deemed necessary.
In fact, this area would be a key focus for investigation, given its close proximity to where Milton had been ambushed.
Milton felt it would have been a better choice for the Apprentice to hide in the Lower District instead.
In any case, the decision for the Wizard Apprentice to hide in this area must have a purpose.
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Milton’s mind.
“Planning to assassinate me again?
This notion was inevitable and the more he considered it, the stronger it grew.
“William. co to Block Twelve.”
Milton abruptly spoke out. On hearing this, William seemed to have understood something and instinctively nodded in agreement.
There were a total of forty buildings in the Jasmine Flower Residential Area.
The twelfth block was where Milton habitually resided,
So naturally, William instantly comprehended what Milton meant.
Milton and William quickly made their way to the residence at Block Twelve. After a careful examination, they found nothing unusual. “Could my guess be wrong? Is the Wizard Apprentice not here?” Noticing nothing unusual, Milton muttered to himself.
“Let’s go inside and take a look.”
Notwithstanding, Milton’s expression didn’t change. He spoke up,
Without reply, William followed closely behind with his Knight Sword. The two of them entered the residence one after another.
“Young Master, Lord William.”
Upon seeing William and Milton’s return, the maids who were cleaning the living room on the first floor hastily curtsied.
Still, there was nothing unusual. The maids acted normally as if they noticed nothing.
Milton gave a slight nod, glanced at William, and they began to ascend quietly to the second floor of the house.
This was where the bedrooms of Milton and William were located, right next to each other, making it convenient for William to protect Milton daily.
Milton pushed open the door of his bedroom, with William trailing behind him.
The bedroom was as tidy as always, everything was neatly arranged.
However, Milton promptly tensed up, as he finally detected something out of the ordinary.
The scent, yes it was the scent!
When Milton left, his bedroom had a very strong smell of alcohol, but now, that smell was completely gone.
It wasn’t the sort of smell dispelled by air fresheners, it was as if the smell of alcohol had just vanished, something that the maids would not have been able to achieve.
Milton Cheney noticed that the window was closed, ruling out the possibility of the odour dissipating naturally.
After all, he hadn’t been gone long from his room to the City Hall and back, so it wouldn’t have been possible for the smell to dissipate so quickly under normal circumstances.
Therefore.
“Someone has been in my room.”
Milton muttered to himself.
He made a slight gesture with his hand hidden behind him. Naturally, William, who was already paying attention to Milton, noticed it.
The next moment, William feigned a disappointed look and said, “Alas, Young Master, it seems that the Wizard Apprentice is not hiding here, we should search elsewhere.’
Heartened by these words, Milton mentally applauded William.
Indeed, as an experienced Grand Knight, William understood his intentions in just an instant.
So Milton also pretended to sigh in disappointment, “Alright, let’s look elsewhere then.”
Just as Milton was about to close the bedroom door, suddenly.
“Boom!”
A loud noise rang out.
The window connecting Milton’s bedroom on the second floor was instantly shattered, and a shadow darted out.
The Wizard Apprentice hiding behind Milton’s bed wasn’t a fool either.
The seemingly normal conversation between Milton and William made him believe he had been exposed.
Therefore, in an instant, he determined his plan was no longer feasible.
With William’s protection and Milton himself being a Peak Knight, his assassination plan would surely fail.
So he decisively broke the window and escaped directly.
Milton had to admit, he hadn’t expected the Apprentice to be so resolute.
However, this was an improvisation on his part, so being discovered was normal. It seems his acting needs to improve.
“Trying to run!”
William’s icy voice echoed as his figure disappeared from the spot.
Milton’s reaction was also extremely quick. In two steps he reached the window, which was now a gaping hole.
Then, in an instant, he leapt from the second floor, swiftly catching up to William and the fleeing shadow.
In the simulation, the Wizard Apprentice eventually escaped, but in reality, Milton was determined not to let him get away.
After all, this Apprentice was likely to influence his entire simulation process.
[Knight Skill.Berserk]
[Knight Skill•Crimson Moon Slash]
William caught up with the Wizard Apprentice and instantly burst into action.
The reddish airflow materialised, swirling around William’s body.
He swung his Knight Sword at the shadow in front of him with incredible speed.
It seemed as if the airflow in the air was split by William’s sword.
There seems to be only a slight gap between a Grand Knight and a Peak Knight, yet they’re worlds apart.
Only a Grand Knight can manifest his energy externally in reality, and the power of the Knight Skills he summons is even more amplified.
The fleeing Wizard Apprentice felt the gust of wind behind him, realising that he couldn’t keep running.
So he turned around to face William, muttering.
[Zero Ring Magic•Shadow Barrier]
This Zero Ring Magic spell was almost cast instantly.
An invisible black light curtain formed a bowl-shaped cover around the Black Robe Wizard Apprentice, protecting him.
With a sullen face and deep eyes under the barrier, the Wizard Apprentice looked quite imposing.
Despite his formidable exterior, he was cursing inwardly.
“Who the hell told me it was a sure thing!”
