Chapter 47: Chapter 46 “Purple Thorns Flower” and “Traveling the Kingdom?” (Seeking Chase Reading)
Translator: 549690339
In an unknown mysterious deep mountain, within a castle.
In front of a huge round table, there are people sitting in just four of the countless seats.
The faces of these four people were undeniably very ugly.
“Levan!”
A voice almost grinding the teeth in anger came from one person at the table.
These were the only four people who didn’t agree with Levan’s actions.
In the ballot Levan initiated, they were the four who voted against it.
And now, all that remains of the Black Robe Seekers’ Club are these four people.
They did not hate the Golden Lion Family, instead, their animosity towards Levan was overflowing.
Don’t you know your own capabilities? If the Golden Lion Family was really that easy to deal with, the Black Robe Seekers’ Club wouldn’t have been idle for so many years.
Now it is over, the organization, which originally had few wizard apprentices, has lost two-thirds of its strength.
“It’s too late to say anything now, even if you hate Levan, it won’t make any difference. He’s dead.”
Another voice rang out.
Compared to the previous person who spoke, this person’s tone was much more calm, although his face looked very bad.
“Good riddance! If he didn’t die, I’d kill him myself. He was too arrogant for his own good, even lost the organization’s magic device!”
The man’s tone was filled with frustration.
That was a magic device! It was worth more than all their lives combined, and now it was lost because of that fool, Levan.
“Enough, stop talking. From now on, abandon all actions against the Golden Lion Family!”
Suddenly, a decisive voice cut through.
The person behind this voice was Mullen!
Meanwhile, at the core area of the Golden Lion Family.
Over a month has quickly passed by without any unusual events.
The expected retaliation from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club did not happen, allowing Milton Cheney to move back to his own small estate.
Milton’s life returned to its previous tranquility.
Since the Breathing Technique didn’t improve, Milton devoted his efforts to mastering the Knight Skills.
Indeed, his body had reached the limit of a knight, but Milton discovered that his talent in Knight Skills wasn’t weak.
“William, why are you here?”
Returning from the training ground to the estate, Milton found William standing within the estate, seemingly waiting for him.
He was somewhat surprised as he hadn’t seen William for a month.
Since Milton became a Grand Knight, he naturally no longer needed the protection of William.
Moreover, William was responsible for a part of the Golden Lion Family’s businesses and naturally couldn’t afford free time like Milton.
“Young Master, the annual Hunting Day is approaching, your father asked me to inquire if you are interested.”
Seeing Milton’s return, William spoke.
“Hunting Day?”
Milton was startled, he’d been too involved with many things lately and had forgotten about the event.
Indeed, it seemed like it was time for the annual Hunting Day to begin.
Although he was somewhat interested in the first Hunting Day, about the second Hunting Day, he had lost all interest.
Milton pretended to contemplate for a moment.
Then, he spoke: “Kindly relay to my father that I won’t be participating in this year’s Hunting Day.”
Hearing Milton’s words, William didn’t seem surprised.
As a Grand Knight, Milton naturally couldn’t find interest in an event like Hunting Day, which was more of a children’s game.
Besides, the Golden Lion Family had skipped the Hunting Day several times in the past, so Milton not going wouldn’t have a big impact.
With that, he nodded and continued speaking:
“The master knows that you most likely will not participate in this Hunting
Day, so he asked you to see him. He probably has something to tell you.” “My father is looking for me? Alright, I understand.”
Upon hearing William’s words, Milton Cheney replied instinctively.
He was unsure about what Earl Arthur wanted, but he suspected it probably had something to do with the family business.
Since the threat from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club had disappeared, Earl Arthur should feel reassured to have Milton manage the family business on his own.
This was evident from several previous simulations.
However, he would only truly understand once he met with Earl Arthur. Speculation was meaningless.
After conveying the message, William exchanged a few more words with Milton before leaving.
Milton returned to his small estate, took off his armor, and put on a robe.
Then he went to the family bathhouse for a bath, considering he had just returned from the training ground, and his body felt sticky.
After bathing, Milton got dressed in fresh clothes and headed towards the Golden Lion Estate.
These days Earl Arthur was always inside the core area of the Golden Lion Estate, rarely leaving.
This was to prevent any ambushes from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club.
Luckily, the people from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club were sensible. After suffering a major defeat, they hadn’t bothered the Golden Lion Family again.
Upon reaching the Golden Lion Estate, Milton spotted Earl Arthur in the courtyard.
Earl Arthur was watering several potted plants in the courtyard.
“What kind of flower is this? I don’t recall seeing these pots here a month ago.”
Walking closer to Earl Arthur, Milton asked, his curiosity piqued by the purple flowers in the pots.
He was certain these pots hadn’t been there before.
And since when did his father Earl Arthur develop a hobby for watering plants?
“Milton, you’ve arrived. These are the Purple Thorns Flowers, a primary ingredient for the Golden Lion Secret Medicine. These flowers only bloom in this month. I brought over a few from the herb garden to water in my spare time.”
On seeing Milton, Arthur replied with a gentle smile.
What Milton didn’t know was that his father Earl Arthur used to be a master-level gardener.
But since the death of Milton’s mother, Arthur had lost interest in gardening. However, ever since Milton became a Grand Knight, some of Arthur’s restraints seemed to have lifted.
“You’ve seen William, haven’t you?”
“Yes, William said you wanted to see me, father.”
“Indeed, the threat from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club has greatly diminished.
You don’t need to hide in the estate all the time, you can go out now.”
Hearing these words, Milton looked up at Earl Arthur, knowing his father had more to say.
As expected, Earl Arthur began with a light smile:
“Milton, do you know about the Frostwinter Kingdom?”
Hearing this, Milton shook his head.
Although he had many memories about the kingdom, it didn’t mean he understood the entire Frostwinter Kingdom.
“Would you be interested in traveling around the kingdom?”
“Travel around the kingdom?”
A shock ran through Milton.
This was different from his previous simulations.
Milton wasn’t unfamiliar with traveling around the kingdom. In his memories, his brother Nicholas had done so.
But traveling around the kingdom was not a trivial matter.
In Frostwinter Kingdom, many heirs from big families choose to travel around the entire kingdom for a few years after they come of age.
But right now?
Wasn’t it too early?
