Chapter 153: Bivis of the Gold Lion Legion

William looked at the small house not far away, smiled, and said to Rist who was following him:

“You hide here, keep an eye on that house from a distance. No matter who comes in or out, make sure to take note, understand?”

“Yes, Lord Cain.” 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Rist replied resolutely, but his mind was in turmoil.

Being tasked by the Brotherhood of Eagle to watch that house, and now seeking refuge with Lord Cain, yet still watching that same house.

Am I really only fit for surveillance duty?

William didn’t pay any more attention to Rist, but instead walked away with Claw and Rachel.

As for the group of players who had been following behind William, they had already been lured away by the girls from the Golden Lily Lane.

Who was William? They didn’t know!

Rejecting gambling and drugs was their true nature.

The first destination was quite far, and William went there with the two of them by carriage.

That was the headquarters of the Golden Lion Knights in Canlight City.

William had no intention of going to the City Guards. The City Guards of Canlight City could only maintain order in the lower city and catch petty thieves.

The entire City Guards only had one golden-tier powerhouse. Let them raid the Beast God Cult’s stronghold?

Better not.

So, William went straight to the most powerful force of the Fis Kingdom in Canlight City, the Gold Lion Legion.

Just approaching, William was stopped by two fully armed guards, clearly professionals.

All soldiers of the Golden Lion Legion were carefully selected from various military forces of the kingdom, all of them were official professionals.

In other words, even the lowest-ranking soldier of the Golden Lion Legion was bronze-tier in strength. There were dozens of golden-tier powerhouses, and there was Bivis Milaner, known as the “Lion of Fis,” who was hailed as the kingdom’s strongest warrior.

Such a strong army, fostered by the wealth and strength of the Fis Kingdom, was also one of the kingdom’s trump cards.

Looking at the silent guards in front of him, William nodded and said:

“I am Viscount William Cain. I need to see Commander Milaner urgently. Please inform him.”

Upon hearing that William was a viscount, the expressions of the two guards finally changed slightly. After exchanging glances, one of the guards put away his weapon and walked towards the headquarters, while the other guard remained in place.

Claw and Rachel stood silently aside, feeling uneasy. To be honest, they had never seen such an imposing elite force before, having lived in an era of peace.

Rachel felt like the guard was looking at her as if she were dead.

After a short while, a young man in silver armor hurried out from the headquarters.

Seeing William, he took a few glances and then warmly extended his hand, saying:

“Hello, Viscount Cain, nice to see you again. The Commander is waiting for you.”

“Um, may I know your name?”

Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".

William was curious. He had no ulterior motives towards the handsome young man before him.

“I may have been presumptuous.”

The young warrior smiled and said:

“I am Herbert. I am the leader of the First Squad of the Golden Lion Legion.”

“I met you at the royal banquet a few days ago. Your demeanor and that lady were truly admirable.”

William felt a little embarrassed at the mention. To be honest, his dancing skills that day were really not that good. Throughout the dance, he was dragged away by an ear picker, and accidentally stepped on Hilda’s foot several times, earning him several glares from the little miss.

Rubbing his nose, William turned to instruct Claw and Rachel to wait outside. Then he followed Herbert into the headquarters of the Gold Lion Legion.

“Is Commander Milaner here?”

William asked Herbert beside him.

“The Commander just finished training. When he heard you were here, he asked me to come and greet you.”

Herbert replied. As the leader of the First Squad, he usually accompanied Bivis, serving as his secretary.

Seeing his appearance, he should also be a nobleman’s son from one of Canlight City’s noble families.

William nodded, and followed Herbert through two doors, arriving at a spacious courtyard, where soldiers were training and weapons were displayed. It should be the training ground of the Gold Lion Legion.

William’s gaze soon noticed where Bivis Milner was.

There was no other reason, it was just that the aura of this golden warrior was too astonishing. His bare upper body was covered with fierce scars, his muscles sharp and distinct, seemingly containing endless strength.

At this moment, Bivis also noticed William standing on the sidelines, put down the two-handed sword in his hand, took the towel handed to him by a servant, wiped the sweat off his body, put on casual clothes, and walked towards William.

“Commander Milaner, greetings.”

William bowed respectfully to Bivis, but Bivis did not respond, only looking William up and down.

What’s going on?

William straightened up and noticed the strange look in Bivis’s eyes, almost choked by his first words.

“Kid, if you ever mistreat Hilda, be careful I’ll beat you!”

“Even if you’re the disciple of that person.”

Bivis naturally knew Hilda’s identity. When he saw Hilda clinging to William’s arm at the royal banquet, he was almost shocked enough to crush his wine glass.

When had he ever seen his disciple behave like a blushing little girl? During the time she spent studying with him before, Hilda had always been a rough and tough tomboy.

If William hadn’t already been taken as a disciple by the Flame of Judgment, Bivis might have wanted to test William to see what this little fellow, who had captured Hilda’s heart, was made of.

“Cough, I do have something very important to discuss with you today, look at this.”

William said with a wry smile to Bivis.

“Hmph!”

Bivis glanced at William and then turned to walk away.

William followed suit without hesitation, and Herbert stood in place with a smile, not moving.

Entering a slightly rugged reception room, Bivis leaned back on the sofa and asked:

“What’s the matter? Can you speak now?”

Seated on the sofa opposite Bivis, William pondered for a moment before saying:

“Commander Milaner, have you heard of the Beast God Cult?”

“Hmm?”

Bivis’s expression became slightly more serious upon hearing the name, and he asked:

“It’s a cult worshipping beast god, but few people have discovered their whereabouts. How do you know about them?”

William organized his words and recounted the discovery in the Golden Lily Lane to Bivis, emphasizing the layout of the underground chamber and the hidden golden-tier powerhouse within.

“Based on the knowledge I obtained from Teacher Stephens, the Beast God Cult should have been conducting a blood sacrifice ritual there!”

William’s expression was serious, speaking as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He wasn’t worried; after all, that was the truth.

Bivis’s face darkened, and he sat up straight, deep in thought.

“How certain are you?”

“100%. I suspect that this blood sacrifice ritual may be to summon the avatar of the Beast God, so I need to inform Teacher Stephens later.”
