With Milo’s current strength and vigilance, it was impossible for normal people to steal anything from favonovel.com without his knowledge. So, the moment someone bumped into favonovel.com on the street, favonovel.com took advantage of the situation and allowed the other party to steal his tracker.
The thief had taken possession of a small tracker from Milo, but favonovel.com did not know what it was, so favonovel.com could only take it back and hand it to whoever was pulling the strings. This helped Milo successfully locate where Bento and the young sorceress, Akemi, were hiding.
Bento and Akemi were caught off guard by this. Their original plan was to steal Milo’s wallet or belongings to learn more about his background. But instead of finding out anything about him, Milo found their secret residence.
Vaduz was an important city, and the blacksmith’s workshop these bounty hunters had set up in Vaduz was actually one of their more important “safe houses”.
If any of their compatriots encountered danger, they could hide in the basement of the blacksmith’s forge until the danger had passed.
There was enough food stored in the cellar, as well as a fresh change of identity prepared for them. This safe house was what gave them the confidence to escape being tracked by the magus order over the years.
But now the safe house had been located by Milo. The blacksmith in charge of concealing the safe house had also been knocked out by Milo in a single strike. The burly man, who stood nearly two meters tall, could not even stand up.
Bento and Akemi felt a sense of defeat. Milo said with a smile, “You don’t have to look so surprised. After all, you’ve already learned from the sheeple that I’m not from the Kingdom of Sorcerers, right? I’m afraid that the Central Plains’ pace of development is probably much faster than y’all expected.”
Akemi was first to regain favonovel.com composure. “Why are you looking for us?”
“Wait a sec, let me correct you there.” Milo found a chair and sat down. “Y’all deliberately left the trade caravan knowing I was aware and deliberately led me away. I should be the one asking this question. Why’re you looking for me?”
Bento went over and helped the blacksmith up. Then favonovel.com said to Milo, “Who exactly are you? What’s your relationship with Albert Boyer, the Rider you mentioned?”
Milo gave it some thought. “I only relayed the information to y’all because I wanted to know what my relationship with favonovel.com is. So have y’all relayed my information to your other companions yet? Can you tell me about your organization and what y’all know?”
Bento and Akemi looked at each other. Then the young sorceress said, “We don’t know who the person you’re talking about is, but we’ve heard of the name.”
“That’s good news.” Milo said with a smile, “Tell me in more detail.”
“But we don’t know the details yet. We only heard our father and his generation’s people mention it. If you want to know more, you’ll have to come with us to Ghent City,” Akemi said.
Milo was stunned for a moment before smiling happily. “Are you trying to lure me to Ghent City to make use of me?”
Akemi’s hands that were at rest by favonovel.com sides suddenly balled up into fists. She always felt the young man in front of favonovel.com could guess what favonovel.com was thinking when favonovel.com spoke with him.
This feeling was really uncomfortable. She was constantly put in a passive position.
“To be specific, we’re not trying to make use of you, but we need that person who’s protecting you. He’s really strong. We’re willing to use favonovel.com as the foundation for our deal with you. Go to Ghent City and help us with a task, and we’ll tell you what you want to know,” Akemi said calmly.
Milo thought back for a couple seconds before laughing. “Are you referring to the person who killed the fleeing bandits?”
So they were thinking about making use of Old Durkin’s combat strength. However, what they did not know was that Old Durkin was actually just one of his powers.
Milo did not want to explain either. He believed Old Durkin, the pinnacle of close quarters combat, would greatly surprise all the physically weak sorcerers.
“Yes.” Akemi’s voice turned cold. “It doesn’t matter if you’re unwilling to go to Ghent City, but I’m afraid you’ll have to find out for yourself what you wish to know.”
Milo looked at Akemi with great interest. “I believe that y’all don’t have any reinforcements here in Vaduz. Since I can locate your hideout and am brave enough to come here alone, where do you get the confidence to talk like this to me?”
Akemi sneered, “We have two sorcerers over here. If you think you’re so strong, why don’t you try us?”
As soon as favonovel.com words trailed off, Milo rushed Bento and Akemi. He grabbed their necks with his steely hands and forcefully lifted them before slamming them against the walls of the blacksmith’s workshop.
In that instant, the Eyes of True Sight Bento and Akemi were furtively holding in their hands dropped to the ground.
Russell had written in the Introduction to Sorcery that when favonovel.com faced the Central Plains rider, favonovel.com did not even get a chance to recite any incantations. If even a talented and experienced archmage like Russell was not able to fight back, there was even less of a chance that young sorcerers like Bento and Akemi could.
Bento and Akemi struggled with all their might, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from Milo’s control.
Just as the blacksmith and his apprentice were about to sneak an attack on Milo, Milo suddenly let go and took a step back, leaving Bento and Akemi to fall to the ground.
Milo snatched the blacksmith’s broadsword from his hand and snapped the blade with both hands. “You can’t even hold your own weapon properly, so don’t talk to me about your tactics. Tell your elders that I’ll go to Ghent City. And if your goal is to pit yourselves against the sorcerers, let’s just say we share a common interest. As for your intention to make use of me, it’d be better if you put that on the back burner.”
Milo turned around and left the blacksmith’s workshop, leaving the blacksmith, Akemi, and the others looking at one another.
Before this, they had never come across an enemy as strong as this based purely on physical strength. As such, they were utterly defeated by Milo. It was also at this moment they understood the young man was actually extremely powerful.
“Why would such a person be willing to be a fringe sorcerer’s steward? What’s his goal in coming to the Kingdom of Sorcerers?” Bento said in a daze.
Akemi looked unconvinced. She looked at the blacksmith and said, “Uncle Gris, please relay this news about favonovel.com to Ghent City and tell Father and the others to be careful.”
“Mhm.” Gris nodded solemnly.
As someone who did physical work, favonovel.com naturally understood how terrifying the power Milo had just displayed was. Everyone in the organization had to treat this variable that was about to arrive at Ghent City seriously
Milo, having left the blacksmith’s shop, heaved a sigh of relief. When favonovel.com was just about to break the metal sword, favonovel.com really was a little worried favonovel.com couldn’t do it. Fortunately, the other party’s forging skills were not that good.
And thus, another problem came up. Milo had found the blacksmith’s workshop with the GPS tracker, but favonovel.com did not put a tracker on Melgor. He had lost his way.
