Chapter 18  - 18: The Nonexistent Wizard Mentor （Seeking for Chase Reading)

It was as though Milton Cheney had been practicing and mastering them day and night in reality.

Although his strength had not increased, Milton Cheney felt his power was considerably stronger than before.

The next moment, Milton Cheney opened his eyes, a glint of brilliance flashing in them.

Although he didn\'t live long in this simulation, the increase in his power was substantial.

The blue light screen representing the Attribute Panel emerged once again.

[Name: Milton Cheney]

[Spiritual: 1.5]

[Physique: 3.6]

[Realm: Official Knight]

[Magic: None]

[Breathing Technique: Golden Lion Breathing Technique (Expertise 98/1600)]

[Knight Skills: Lionheart Slash (Expertise 72/1600), Armor Splitting Slash (Novice 310/400), Star Fire Arrow (277/400), Basic Riding Skills (Proficient 530/800), Basic Archery Skills (Expertise 162/1600), Basic Swordsmanship (Expertise 908/1600), Basic Fighting Skills (Expertise 311/1600) ...]

[Simulation Count: 0]

Compared to before the simulation, the changes in Milton Cheney\'s panel were significant.

Even though there was no improvement in his spiritual and physical attributes.

But the advancement in his breathing technique and knight skills was not slight.

His breathing technique advanced from proficiency to expertise.

Milton Cheney tried to operate his breathing technique instinctively, finding that the speed of expanding the Life Seed was indeed much faster than before.

Even though it was still slow, he could feel a clear increase in speed.

In the column of knight skills, the quasi-knight technique, Lionheart Slash, also reached expertise.

The most significant advancement was the initiation of two real knight skills, Armor Splitting Slash and Star Fire Arrow.

Knight skills and quasi-knight techniques are entirely different; knight skills can harness the power of the Life Seed.

The power of an Official Knight lies in activating the Life Seed. Now armed with knight skills, Milton Cheney can indeed be regarded as a genuine Official Knight.

Having sorted out his strength, Milton Cheney held the book in his hands and started pondering.

If conditions allowed, he naturally wanted to remain in the estate until becoming a wizard.

But now with the looming [Black Robe Seekers Guild], Milton Cheney had to consider ways to break the impasse.

After all, he didn\'t know whether some things in reality would produce a butterfly effect, eliciting retaliation from the "Black Robe Seekers Guild."

Although he died at the age of twenty-six in the simulation, he only has one life in reality. Milton Cheney neither wanted to gamble nor could afford to gamble.

Milton Cheney wanted to ferret out the person behind the curtain and take the initiative to strike first. Once the person behind the curtain was dead, he would naturally be safe.

The current mastermind was not that strong, only creating a strong momentum and was evident from resorting to assassination, an underhanded trick.

This person was obviously taking advantage of the situation, intimidating the Golden Lion Family to cause fear or deterrence was his main goal.

Milton Cheney couldn\'t help but marvel. Without his simulator, he\'d probably have died several times over already.

But even if he knows now that the person behind the scenes is from the [Black Robe Seekers Guild], he couldn\'t tell his father.

After all, from the perspective of his father, Earl Arthur, he has no channel for getting this information.

Putting the book he had in hand aside, Milton Cheney exhaled a turbid breath - it was time to test his acting skills.

......

"What?

You said you\'ve become a wizard\'s disciple?

And that wizard didn\'t teach you the meditation technique but instead helped you activate your Life Seed to become an Official Knight?"

Earl Arthur, who was in front of Milton Cheney, was somewhat dumbstruck.

His tone was full of disbelief; the look in his eyes was as if to say, \'are you kidding me?\'.

Indeed, there were too many doubts in what Milton Cheney had said, and even he couldn\'t respond immediately.

He felt that more things had happened to his son in the past few months than in the previous seventeen years.

Yes, Milton Cheney fabricated a fictitious wizard mentor.

The reason for him fabricating a wizard instead of something like an Epic Knight was simple.

First, wizards were very mysterious, and the Golden Lion Family knew something about wizards but not much.

Secondly, only a wizard would be able to infiltrate the Cheney estate with ease.

And thirdly, only a wizard could effortlessly activate the \'Innate Giant Strength\' in him and the Life Seed.

Milton Cheney nodded solemnly, his eyes held no sense of jest, but rather a perfectly timed surprise.

Looking at Milton\'s eyes, the surprise on Earl Arthur\'s face gradually faded.

He then grasped Milton\'s wrist, and the next moment, a golden airflow erupted from his hand and entered Milton\'s body.

Milton could distinctly feel a gentle flow moving inside his body, eventually touching his Life Seed before dissipating.

"The Life Seed was truly activated!"

Earl Arthur suddenly felt a headache.

How long had his son been practicing the Breathing Technique, a month?

This was beyond his understanding. Therefore, he now believed about seventy percent of what Milton had said.

"Are you sure he took you as a student and not an experimental subject?"

There was concern in Earl Arthur\'s voice.

The story his son told was too fantastical. Even though he believed part of it, he still had his doubts.

Milton knew that his father, Earl Arthur, wouldn\'t accept it so quickly.

The reason he purposely sought out Earl Arthur to discuss this matter was to plant a seed in his heart.

With this, he wouldn\'t need to rack his brains for an explanation when his strength increased rapidly in the future. Having a wizard mentor served as the perfect excuse.

After all, in this world, there was nothing a wizard couldn\'t do.

"Father, rest assured. I am certain that my mentor genuinely took me in as a student, and he isn\'t from the Frostwinter Kingdom, he was just passing by."

Milton spoke up, taking the opportunity to fill in the gaps in his lie.

An imaginary wizard mentor who just happened to pass by here.

Naturally, no one could verify the veracity of this lie.

Listening to Milton\'s words, Earl Arthur felt torn and didn\'t know what to say.

He thought his youngest son was too naive. How could a wizard suddenly take on a student out of the blue?

Earl Arthur felt that the wizard must have some ulterior motive.

Moreover, he helped his son activate the Life Seed. This was something beyond the realm of a wizard apprentice.

But Earl Arthur knew that there were no free lunches in the world. Every seemingly fateful gift had a hidden price tag.

To think so deeply meant that subconically, Earl Arthur had already believed ninety percent of what Milton said.

After all, his thoughts were based on the premise that Milton truly had been taken on by a wizard as a student. Thus, one of Milton\'s objectives had been achieved.

But the reason he sought out his father, Earl Arthur, wasn\'t simply to fabricate a non-existent wizard. He had another motive.

So, Milton casually raised a question as if by chance:

"Oh yes, father. My mentor told me that the assassination attempt on me was orchestrated by a kingdom organization, the \'Black Robe Seekers\' Club. But I\'ve never heard of this name."

In Milton\'s tone, there was a perfectly timed curiosity and wonder.

It seemed as if he was puzzled about how he offended this organization.

When he mentioned the organization\'s name, Milton was keeping an eye on his father, Earl Arthur\'s reaction.

As expected, upon hearing the words \'Black Robe Seekers\' Club\', Earl Arthur\'s brows furrowed.

The previously somewhat relaxed atmosphere instantly became tense.

Earl Arthur turned his gaze on Milton, his eyes a mix of emotions.
