Chapter 17 ‘Family Secrets’ and ‘Black-clad Seeking Truth Society’ (Please Read)
In a luxurious room, bright lights flickered.
Three people were sitting at a not-so-huge round table.
In addition to Chen Mu and William, Earl Arthur was also sitting at the round table.
His right hand was consciously knocking on the round table, making a rhythmic sound.
The rest of the servants and maids had been dismissed, and there were only three of them in the huge room.
“The Golden Lion Family has developed in the kingdom for hundreds of years, so it is naturally impossible for them to have no enemies, but I can’t be sure of the family that meets the conditions you mentioned.”
Earl Arthur frowned slightly, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice.
“But someone has already checked, and I believe there will be news soon. Willy, stay in the manor during this period and don’t go out again. This matter may not be that simple.”
The sound of knocking on the table stopped, and Earl Arthur spoke softly.
When he heard the news brought back by William and Chen Mu, Arthur inevitably felt shocked and angry.
But now that he has calmed down, he knows that this matter is not as simple as William and Chen Mu imagined.
He knows some secrets.
He suspects that this matter may be related to some secrets he knows.
But he is not too sure, after all, no conclusion can be drawn without investigation.
So when he learned the news, he had already sent someone to investigate.
He did not say the name of this person, but Chen Mu also knew that it was the other of the only two great knights under his father.
Hearing his father's words, Chen Mu just nodded.
He knew that this matter was no longer something he could handle, and he could hear the solemnity in Earl Arthur's tone.
This matter is not just aimed at him alone, it is obviously aimed at the Golden Lion Family.
And Chen Mu is the hole that the person behind the scenes wants to open.
Imagine, if Chen Mu is really killed this time, then his father Earl Arthur will definitely go crazy.
Chen Mu does not know what Earl Arthur will do, but this must be what the person behind the scenes wants to see.
The next few days were relatively calm, and Earl Arthur did not find Chen Mu to say something.
It was as if this incident had never happened, but Chen Mu knew that things were definitely not as calm as they seemed on the surface.
On the contrary, Chen Mu felt that this was a bit like the calm before the storm.
In fact, the fact that no one came to disturb him in the past few days showed that there was a problem.
William seemed to have disappeared, and Chen Mu had not seen William's shadow in the manor in the past few days.
No one came to find him, which did not mean that there was no problem. On the contrary, it was a sign of a problem.
However, Chen Mu did not show great curiosity to explore anything.
After all, in the Golden Lion Family, if his father did not want him to get any news, then it would be useless for him to ask anyone.
Chen Mu could do nothing at this time, even if he exposed the strength of a formal knight.
He was still too weak. The formal knight was very strong, but compared with a family, it was extremely small.
What's more, there are wizards in this world.
In the eyes of wizards, let alone formal knights, what is the difference between a big knight and a larger ant?
But fortunately, he has a simulator!
In the room, Chen Mu held a book in his hand, but his attention was not on the book now.
His attention was on the blue light screen that appeared in front of him.
[Name: Willy Weasley (Chen Mu)]
[Spirit: 1.5]
[Constitution: 3.6]
[Level: Formal Knight]
[Witchcraft: None]
[Breathing Method: Golden Lion Breathing Method (Proficient 82/800)]
[Knight Skills: Lion Heart Slash (Proficient 61/800), Basic Riding (Proficient 128/800), Basic Archery (Proficient 630/800), Basic Swordsmanship (Proficient 524/1600), Basic Combat (Proficient 115/1600).]
[Number of Simulations: 1]
The number "1" was clearly displayed in the column representing the number of simulations.
Chen Mu didn't know whether this simulation would tell him the answer to some of his doubts, but he didn't plan to accumulate simulation times.
Perhaps one day in the future he would accumulate a few more simulation times and use them together, but that would definitely not be today.
When Chen Mu's mind was focused on the number of simulations column.
A string of black fonts appeared as usual.
[Do you want to start the life simulation? ]
Chen Mu did not hesitate and answered yes in his heart.
The next moment, the string of black fonts disappeared.
A large piece of black text representing his simulation appeared.
[Life simulation has been started. Because the simulator version is too low, only text simulation is supported. ]
[Seventeen years old: You encountered a conspiracy in the Golden Lion Arena, and you were ambushed on the way back. Your father, Earl Arthur, was furious when he learned the news and began to investigate. This investigation led to a family secret, but your father did not tell you what the secret was. ]
[Eighteen years old: You did not participate in this year's hunting day because you encountered many assassinations in this year, and your father did not want to put you in danger. ]
Seeing this, Chen Mu felt a little solemn. This simulation was completely different from the previous ones.
In the previous simulations, Chen Mu had never been assassinated, but in this simulation, there were many assassinations against him in just one year.
Chen Mu suppressed the solemnity in his heart and continued to read.
[Nineteen years old: You have even gotten used to the many assassinations. You began to practice breathing and knight skills in the manor, but the effect was minimal, but you did not give up. ]
[Twenty years old: Your father, Earl Arthur, accidentally discovered that you had activated the seed of life. Shocked, he decided to tell you the secret. Behind the conspiracy against the Golden Lion family is an organization called the "Black Seeking Society", and one of the founders of this organization was once a member of the Golden Lion family. ]
[Secret: The "Black Seeking Society" is a black wizard organization in the Kingdom of Winter. The seven founding members of the organization came from different families in the Kingdom of Winter. They were "given" by their respective families to a formal wizard as a test subject. In the end, the seven people who survived established the "Black Seeking Society". ]
Seeing this, Chen Mu's pupils shrank. He was not shocked by this secret, but was shocked that the simulator would list some things separately in addition to simulating his life.
This was a situation that had never happened in the previous three simulations.
【21 years old: Simply practicing breathing techniques is too slow to improve your strength. You start taking the Golden Lion Secret Medicine to assist in practicing breathing techniques. Although the speed has improved, it is still slow, so you start trying to practice real knight skills. 】
【22 years old: You have entered the "Knight Skills·Armor-Splitting Slash" and "Knight Skills·Star Rocket", your breathing techniques have also improved, and the speed of your life seed improvement has also increased. 】
【23 years old: Under the threat of the "Black Clothes Seeking the Way Society", your father, Earl Arthur, is worried about you traveling around the kingdom, so he has allocated a small territory in the Far East Territory for you, and you have become a lord. 】
【25 years old: You are constantly honing your knight skills and practicing breathing techniques. Although your practice speed is as slow as a turtle crawling, you have never thought of giving up. 】
【26 years old: You died, died in a dream, died of witchcraft. 】
【Simulation ends, please choose your reward! 】
【Keep the realm】or【Keep the technique】
Seeing the last black text, Chen Mu was a little stunned.
He didn't expect that he would die so suddenly in this simulation.
This was the first time that he died so early in a simulation. In the previous simulations, he lived to the age of 32 at least.
This time, his strength was stronger than before, but he lived the shortest.
If the [Black-clothed Seeking Dao Society] had the means to kill him in his dream, how could he live to the age of 26?
Although Chen Mu was a little confused, he did not doubt the authenticity of the simulation.
Then it was obvious that before Chen Mu was 26 years old, the [Black-clothed Seeking Dao Society] did not have the means to kill him in his dream.
And this [Black-clothed Seeking Dao Society] is a wizard organization after all, how dare it only play some assassination tricks.
Chen Mu suspected that either the Black-clothed Seeking Dao Society was just a name that was loud and mysterious.
Or it was not this organization that wanted to deal with Chen Mu or the Golden Lion Family, but one of the people in this organization wanted to deal with the Golden Lion Family.
And the person in this organization also had limited means, otherwise it would be too cheap for the wizard organization.
"Keep the spell"
Without thinking any more, Chen Mu thought to himself.
The next moment, memories came flooding back, and Chen Mu gently closed his eyes and began to receive the new memories that had just flowed into his memory.
