Magic Potion and the Wizard Mutual Aid Society (Please Follow)

The knight sword instantly became a streak of crimson light.

It pierced straight through the Death Soldier's chest in an instant.

But a flash of black light flickered across the Death Soldier's chest, and he did not die immediately.

The next moment, the carriage exploded, countless wooden planks flying in every direction and revealing Chen Mu inside.

Chen Mu remained calm as he lightly raised the knight sword already in his hand.

Facing the dagger aimed at his forehead, there was not a trace of panic in Chen Mu's eyes, only the deep stillness of a lake.

A flash of silver streaked past.

Quasi-Knight Technique: Lionheart Slash! William, filled with regret and rage, could see nothing but that silver flash.

Even the Death Soldier's eyes showed a trace of astonishment.

They were not entirely devoid of emotion. Under extreme emotional turmoil, they would still reveal the slightest hint of feeling.

One could only imagine how violently the Death Soldier's emotions were surging at that moment.

The silver-white knight sword sliced through the Death Soldier's throat, and blood gushed out.

The Death Soldier could only watch as his poison-coated dagger remained close to Chen Mu, yet could go no farther.

The next moment, William arrived and pulled the longsword from the Death Soldier's chest.

With another slash, he cleaved the Death Soldier in two at the waist.

Blood covered the entire area. Even a Wizard could not save this Death Soldier now.

"Young Master, I..."

William's face was filled with shame as he dropped to one knee, seeming to want to say something.

Seeing this, Chen Mu interrupted him. "Sir William, this isn't your fault. Whoever is behind this was far better prepared than we imagined."

He also reached out and helped William to his feet. Chen Mu was not someone who forgot a favor.

Without William, there was a high chance he would have died in this attack.

Though it had been William's duty, Chen Mu would not simply forget the debt he owed him. After all, William had saved his life.

If one of your subordinates saved your life, would you simply forget it?

Seeing Chen Mu's understanding, gratitude appeared in William's eyes, and his expression gradually calmed.

Since it had already happened, anger could not solve anything.

William said, "Young Master, that Death Soldier who attacked you just now had consumed Magic Potion! Only Wizards or Wizard Apprentices can brew such things.

"Whoever is targeting the Golden Lion Family is definitely no ordinary person!"

By now, William no longer believed the mastermind was targeting only Chen Mu.

After all, such a massive operation was most likely aimed at the Golden Lion Family.

Chen Mu pondered this slightly. This had not happened in the simulations.

He knew that some actions in reality could trigger a butterfly effect, causing his life to diverge from the simulated one.

What had caused this butterfly effect? Chen Mu thought about it briefly and understood.

Clearly, it was this trip to the Golden Lion Arena.

In the Third Simulation, Chen Mu had never gone to the Golden Lion Arena, so this had not happened.

Yet in reality, he had gone there.

Since his path in life differed from the simulation, the things he experienced afterward would naturally differ as well.

"Sir William, could the mastermind have obtained the Magic Potion by chance? There are no Wizards in the kingdom, are there? I heard Wizards rarely come to barren places like this Secondary Continent."

Chen Mu spoke softly, voicing his doubt.

However, William shook his head and rejected Chen Mu's idea.

If the mastermind had merely obtained Magic Potion by chance, then they would have needed to prepare more than a dozen bottles.

After all, more than a dozen carriages had departed with Chen Mu in different directions.

But that was not the case.

This attack had clearly been premeditated. From the decisiveness of these Death Soldiers, it was obvious that they had known Chen Mu was in this carriage.

Such methods resembled a Wizard's spell.

William, who was no stranger to Wizards, happened to know of a spell that Wizard Apprentices could use which matched the situation.

It was Zero-Ring Wizardry: Tracking Spell.

So William said, "Young Master, since this has already happened, there are some secrets I can no longer keep from you. You would have learned of them sooner or later anyway."

Though Chen Mu's status was extraordinary, he was merely the Count's second son, not the Count himself. If no one told him certain information, he would never learn it.

"On the surface, there truly are no Wizards in the kingdom. But in secret, there is a Wizard Mutual Aid Society. Its exact name is unknown, but its Guild Master is a genuine Level Three Wizard Apprentice."

Chen Mu was startled upon hearing this.

"A Level Three Wizard Apprentice? Why would someone like that organize a mutual aid society in a barren kingdom?

"That makes no sense."

Chen Mu's words were not without reason. A Level Three Wizard Apprentice was already the strongest existence beneath a Wizard.

Even on the Wizard Continent, such a person held no low status. How could someone like that come to a Secondary Continent?

Someone who had normally cultivated a Wizard Meditation Method to become a Level Three Wizard Apprentice had a lifespan of at least two hundred years.

If such a person truly wanted to deal with Chen Mu's family, it would be like a stone striking an egg. The Golden Lion Family would have no ability to resist.

William could only smile bitterly and shake his head. How could he know what those Wizards were thinking?

Still, he had not been making things up. Most nobles in the kingdom knew about this hidden Wizard Mutual Aid Society.

"Young Master, you needn't worry too much. I was only giving an example.

"The mastermind is most likely not from this Wizard Mutual Aid Society.

"Actually, this Wizard Mutual Aid Society has a very good reputation among the kingdom's nobles.

"It is more likely that the mastermind found a Wild Wizard Apprentice somewhere. When we return, I will ask the Count whether he knows who is targeting the Golden Lion Family."

Chen Mu nodded and did not reply further.

When William mentioned a Wild Wizard, Chen Mu instinctively thought of someone.

That was right—the Wild Wizard Apprentice who had used Curse Wizardry on the original Chen Mu before Chen Mu had transmigrated.

But this time, Chen Mu considered things more carefully. Could it be that the mastermind's plan against the Golden Lion Family had already begun before he transmigrated?

If the original Chen Mu's offense against that Wizard Apprentice had also been part of the scheme, then everything could be connected.

After all, if Chen Mu had not transmigrated, then the original Chen Mu would already have been dead by now.

But that did not seem right either, because there had been no trace of Wizards in the previous simulations.

If this had been planned in advance, then after discovering that Chen Mu had survived the Curse Wizardry, shouldn't they have acted even more frantically? Just like now?

He could not figure it out. Even Chen Mu, whose Spiritual Power surpassed that of ordinary people, could not understand it. So he simply stopped thinking about it.

After all, he would have another simulation attempt in a few days. Everything would become clear in the simulation.

Chen Mu and William mounted their horses.

The carriage could no longer carry anyone, so they could only share a horse and return to the Golden Lion Family as quickly as possible.

The white steed galloped away, kicking up clouds of dust beneath its hooves.
