As the grandiose group made their way north, some people were looking through the gap in a covered carriage with their gaze locked on Milo’s back.
Milo flipped through his book unsteadily as favonovel.com rode slowly on his horse. The horses knew to keep with the group, so favonovel.com did not have to worry it would veer off course. He quite liked the feeling of the autonomous riding. There was no need for favonovel.com to control the horse himself, and it would not deviate from the group either.
In the past, when Daniel talked to favonovel.com about artificial intelligence, favonovel.com said it had quite a broad application field, with one of them being autonomous driving.
For example, if someone needed to travel a long distance, they would only need to set a destination after getting in the vehicle. Once that was done, they could just sleep all the way until they arrived.
Milo thought that even though favonovel.com did not fully understand what artificial intelligence was, favonovel.com could still enjoy the feeling of being driven around autonomously.
As Milo was letting his imagination run wild, favonovel.com seemed wholly unaware there were people spying on favonovel.com at the back of the group.
Someone in that carriage asked softly, “Was favonovel.com the one who troubled you so much?”
Someone else in the carriage answered in a quiet voice, “Yes, that’s him.”
“Are you sure he’s not a sorcerer?” someone asked. “We calculated the route and speed of your escape last night. If favonovel.com were just a normal person, favonovel.com couldn’t have caught up to you without the aid of sorcery.”
“I can’t be sure he’s a sorcerer, but what I can be sure of is that favonovel.com did not cast any spells during the pursuit,” the young sorceress answered.
“That’s a little strange then. Could that person have been born with superior physical fitness compared to normal people?” someone wondered.
“I think so. I saw favonovel.com leap a dozen meters with my own eyes while I was escaping. Normal people don’t have such fitness. We’ve also tested it out before. Without spell enhancement, eight to nine meters is probably the limit for us,” the young sorceress replied. “So we have to be more careful than usual.”
“He should count himself unlucky. We were already leaving under the guise of the trade caravan, but they came knocking on our door,” another person said in a low voice.
Based on what favonovel.com just said, this group of bounty hunters had given up on the mission and were planning to return north. But coincidentally, Melgor and his band suddenly joined up with the trade caravan.
“By the way, didn’t you say there was another person in a white mask? Can you identify favonovel.com from his physique?” someone asked.
“No. White Mask’s physique is similar to this young man’s, but I can’t confirm who it is,” the young sorceress answered. “When I was trying to escape, White Mask’s presence was crushing. I found favonovel.com utterly terrifying. If you guys hadn’t arrived in time, I’d probably have died there.”
“Wait, could White Mask be Melgor?” someone asked. “It feels to me that Melgor’s height and physique seem to fit the criteria quite well.”
“That’s true.” The young sorceress thought back and said, “But why would favonovel.com need to put on a mask?”
Milo was entirely unaware of how much more trouble White Mask would cause.
Melgor, Benjamin, and Dave believed White Mask was the assassin, while the young sorceress thought Melgor was White Mask.
What a mess!
Milo sat on his horse and paged through the Introduction to Sorcery in an attempt to find any information of value.
After the Introduction to Sorcery was edited, the contents of the book had become shambles. Many of the things written did not seem to fit together and baffled the reader. It was no wonder Melgor and the others did not want to read it. There really was not much value in reading this book.
Dave and Benjamin were still memorizing vocabulary in the carriage. When Milo got bored of reading, favonovel.com put down the Introduction to Sorcery and spurred his horse towards the front of the traveling caravan.
As Milo moved forward, favonovel.com scrutinized everyone favonovel.com could see. This was mainly to check if there were any suspicious people in the caravan.
Before favonovel.com could go far, the knight commander, Mox, approached favonovel.com and said, “Sir, you shouldn’t move about as you please. If there’s an assassin hiding in the caravan, you might get put in danger.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Milo answered in seriousness, “They can’t hurt me.”
Hearing this, Mox was speechless.
After Milo left, one of his subordinates came over and said, “There’s no need to worry about him. Our mission is to protect Lord Melgor, anyway, so it’s not our business if anything untoward happens to that kid.”
“True.” Mox sighed and said, “Let’s ignore favonovel.com then. Remember to stay vigilant.”
“Understood!”
Before long, Milo came back from his stroll of the front of the trade caravan. This time, favonovel.com rode his horse towards the back of the group.
When favonovel.com passed by a certain carriage, favonovel.com found it a little strange.
It was the end of May, and the scorching sun hanging overhead was shining so fiercely it felt like one could even smell their own hair burning. Almost all the carriages had lifted their curtains to keep the air flowing. But the strange thing about this carriage was that the windows were firmly blocked by the curtains, while the curtain door was also tied shut.
There was nothing unusual about the coachman, but weren’t the people on the inside afraid of getting heatstroke?
A moment later, Milo reached out and tried to pull open the window. But before favonovel.com could do so, someone lifted the curtain from the inside.
A middle-aged woman had a stunned look on favonovel.com face when favonovel.com saw Milo and his outstretched arm. Then favonovel.com said with a polite smile, “Are you Lord Melgor’s newly recruited steward? I saw you on the streets when you all entered the city. You’re really quite handsome.”
“Hahaha, that so?” Milo laughed happily.
“Is something the matter?” the middle-aged woman asked with a smile.
Milo looked through the window and examined what was inside the carriage. He said, “It’s nothing, I was just wondering, don’t you find it hot?”
“Oh, you see, I fell sick a few days ago, and the doctor in town said that I mustn’t catch a chill,” the middle-aged woman said with a smile.
“I see…” Milo breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s alright then. I was just a little curious, so don’t worry…”
After that, Milo was about to spur his horse to continue to the back of the trade caravan when the middle-aged woman suddenly said, “Why don’t… Would you like to enter the carriage and have a seat, sir? I have some issues I’d like to discuss with you…”
This woman was wearing a layered dress with a plunging neckline and lace ruffles on favonovel.com collar. She had a fair complexion.
When favonovel.com saw Milo looking over, the woman even leaned forward a little more. It was as though favonovel.com was trying to make it easier for his eyes to see her.
“Ahem, there’s no need for that.” Milo clenched his legs around the horse’s rib cage and left quickly.
From the back, it almost felt like favonovel.com was fleeing.
The middle-aged woman giggled. “That’s interesting. He’s different from those sorcerers who look decent but have dirty minds…”
