They all call me master

Coming after Isidore!

At the first sight of the other party, Arthur had such a premonition in his heart, but he still kept a distance but asked politely.

"Hello, who are you?"

This is the most normal reaction for normal people when facing strangers.

And Arthur, who had already expected it, became extremely natural with the blessing of Level 5 [Bluff].

The enthusiastic stranger seemed to react after seeing Arthur's reaction. He first smiled a little apologetically, and then introduced himself.

"Hello, Sir Kratos."

"I'm Harris, maybe you've heard my name."

Harris, one of the founders of the 'Mouse Parliament', was the first of the three founders to defect to the Earl of Nanlos, but Arthur guessed that the other party was a pawn inserted into the 'Mouse Parliament' by the countess.

However, Arthur did not expect that the other party would be chasing Isidore.

Is it because of long-term contact and familiarity with Isidore’s behavior pattern?

Or is it because of some secret methods that can lead the other party to track Isidore's whereabouts?

Arthur guessed it was the latter.

But Isidore's strength is enough to make the opponent fearful, so this secretive method must have many limitations, at least... it cannot be accurately positioned.

It's even less possible to know exactly what happened.

Otherwise, Harris would not be so polite at this time.

Thinking of this, Arthur's face naturally showed surprise.

After a flash, Arthur nodded.

"I heard it."

"I'm honored that you can hear my name. Then our conversation will be much easier - of course, you should finish your business first. Boss Tate has been waiting for a long time."

Harris said quite politely, and then walked towards the small round table and chairs. The other party just sat in the chair and stared at Arthur.

An aboveboard stalking.

In this regard, Arthur's face showed helplessness.

Tate on the side also seemed to see something.

"Guest, do you need any help?"

Tate asked in a low voice.

Arthur shook his head, then smiled.

“I needed two walking sticks, one that was completely solid wood and the other that was also completely solid wood.

The head of the stick should also be made of solid wood, without any excessive decoration, but it must be strong.

Any recommendations? "

Arthur ignored the stares from the side and focused on asking this Tate.

"Solid wood?"

"You have a very unique taste. It seems that you have a composure that belies your age. If it is strong, I recommend iron birch. This kind of wood is very special. When an ax hits it, sparks will burst out, and when a bullet hits it, it will look like It is struck on a steel plate and must be cut and carved using special methods, so the price is extremely high. One piece costs 8 gold tickets. However, if a slightly more common wood is used, the price can be reduced to about 1-1.5 gold tickets, for example. Small hardwood.”

Tate served Arthur with expertise.

"It's just iron birch!"

Arthur's purpose is to perform [Wand Combat], the stronger the cane the better, and for him now, 8 gold tickets are not expensive - especially if it can save lives, such a price becomes more and more Seems approachable.

"Two walking sticks cost 16 gold tickets. You will be able to get your walking stick in three days. At that time, I will give you a girdle, a wristband, a walking stick cloth and three maintenance steps - although iron birch wood requires basically no maintenance."

When Arthur took out the 16 gold ticket and handed it to Tate, it was obvious that the boss was in a good mood, joking about the gift while talking about it.

Then, the boss began to measure Arthur's height, arm length, arm height from the ground, etc.

During this process, Harris, who was sitting there, kept looking at Arthur, Tate and the entire store.

Arthur and Tate chose to ignore each other.

As time passed, the co-founder of the 'Rat Council' began to be certain that this was where Isidore was last seen - unfortunately, that was all the information he got.

It is impossible to judge more accurately.

But he thinks keeping an eye on Arthur is a good choice.

Arthur seemed to be irritated by this kind of surveillance, and when Tate finished measuring, he couldn't help but glare at Harris.

Harris didn't care and smiled back at Arthur.

"Do you have any requirements for the carving of the cane head?"

Someone was following him, but it didn't affect Tate's working status. The boss asked seriously.

"cat!"

"I want one to be a cat's head and one to be the image of a cat in a nest. If you don't have a specific reference, you can take a look at my cat in the carriage!"

Arthur smiled and pointed to the carriage parked at the door.

Tate looked at the carriage at the door.

Harris also looked at the carriage at the door.

Tate walked towards the carriage with an umbrella, and while inspecting Pendragon carefully, Harris looked at the auxiliary police coachman, and Arthur looked impatiently.

After returning to the store with Tate, Arthur took the initiative to pull up a chair and sit across from Harris.

"Are you looking for someone?"

Arthur asked straight to the point.

"That's right."

Harris still smiled.

"Is it the old lion's secret? Or... Isidore?"

Arthur lengthened his tone and stared directly at Harris, but the other party used a smile as a cover-up, so that Arthur's "Fire Gaze" and "Observation of Moments" did not get the slightest clue.

‘You have to continue to upgrade the two skills. ’

Arthur thought in his heart, and then changed the topic.

"Whatever you're looking for, don't look at me."

"Yeah?"

Harris asked back with a smile.

At the same time, in the bottom of my heart, I once again recalled the information about the young 'spiritual medium' in front of me - he has mysterious abilities, is good at using words to test, and may have a secret background.

He had experienced the verbal temptation just now.

What works for others doesn't work for him.

As for the mysterious side ability?

It's not time for both sides to take action yet.

And a mysterious origin?

As long as he takes action, he can confidently deduce the origin of the other party.

But alas, he can't.

The other party made no mistakes and was highly regarded by the countess. He attacked the other party for no reason. No matter he won or lost, he would be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Harris looked at Boss Tate.

"Boss, do you still have customers here after the heavy rain starts?"

Boss Tate looked at Arthur.

After seeing Arthur's indifferent shrug, the boss said.

"No, only this guest."

"Oh, how long has this guest been here?"

"For some time, the carriage stopped at the door for a moment before the guests came in."

Boss Tate answered truthfully.

Arthur's originally indifferent expression suddenly stiffened.

Although he immediately returned to his original state, he was captured by Harris.

"Why did you let the carriage stop at the door for a moment before you came in?"

Without hesitation, Harris immediately asked.

But Arthur, who cooperated, had a stern look on his face at the moment.

"I am not your prisoner, and I have not committed any mistakes. I cannot accept your way of questioning."

After saying that, Arthur stood up and left.

Harris didn't stop him, he just looked at Arthur's back in amusement as he left in the carriage.

One of the founders of the ‘Mouse Parliament’ thinks he has found the key point!

Afterwards, Harris held up his umbrella and began to walk around the 'Tate Cane Shop'.

Soon, the other party came to the alley, his nose twitching.

"This is where Isidore's smell disappears...Huh? What smell? Why is it so smelly?

Wotfak!

Who's running around here? "

Harris stared at something at his feet that had been turned into yellow soup by the heavy rain and started to flow. The smile that he had maintained all year round was a little unbearable.

Especially when he found that the yellow soup kept flowing through the soles of his feet, the founder of the 'Rat Council' even cursed loudly.

He kind of guessed what Arthur had just parked here for.

But Harris did not give up and went straight to the Shire District Police Station.

Arthur couldn't use force, but the patrolman didn't care.

As a result, Harris's curse became even worse.

"Where is your morality? Where is your honor? Where is your gentlemanliness?"

"Shit-like bastard!"

“Isn’t it wrong to defecate in the open?”

Harris 'confused' the patrolman, and after getting the exact answer, Harris cursed and returned to the 'Tate Cane Shop' - he still did not give up.

At this moment, the cane shop was closed for rest, and the founder of the 'Mouse Parliament' slipped in skillfully by picking the lock.

After checking the store, Harris looked at the hive cabinet where the canes were stored.

Harris checked one rod after another.

Although he found several canes with hidden sword blades, they were not what he wanted. When he found nothing at the end, Harris left angrily.

He knew he had been tricked by Isidore!

Isidore must have discovered his little trick, so he deliberately stopped here.

The purpose was to use Arthur to confuse his vision.

It would even be better if he had a conflict with Arthur.

"damn it!"

Harris found that he had once again underestimated the madman Isidore, but more importantly, he needed to make amends with Arthur.

Maybe Arthur is nothing to him now, but what about in the future?

With the countess's respect, Arthur will become famous sooner or later.

It's not like he could kill Arthur right now.

That can only make up for the relationship.

Immediately, Harris had a perfect candidate in mind.

No longer staying in the 'Tate Cane Shop', Harris left quickly, but the founder of the 'Rat Council' did not relock the shop.

In other words, he doesn't care about this at all, and maybe he needs to vent.

Moments later, two patrolmen spotted the open door.

The two people looked at each other and walked in.

After about a few minutes, the two hurriedly left with a few canes that looked valuable.

This time, the store door was open.

After a while, a homeless man passed by.

The homeless man looked at the open shop with gleaming eyes, rushed in hurriedly, and then left holding a few canes.

And just after the homeless man left, a gambler who was desperate to lose passed by.

The gambler rushed in with ecstasy.

However, before the gambler could leave, the two patrolmen who left first came back. They looked at the people in the store and smiled together.

Then——

"Stop! Don't move! Put your hands up!"

Amidst the roar, two patrolmen rushed in waving their batons.

The noise was muffled by the heavy rain.

The traces that should have been washed away have long been washed away.

And none of this has anything to do with Arthur.

At this moment, Arthur was holding Pendragon and sitting in the 'Psychic Medium's Hall'. When he looked at the props taken out of the cane, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed at all -

It turned out to be this thing!
