They all call me master

"I'm not!"

"I don't!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Arthur directly denied Sanlian and quickly closed the door.

"Hahaha!"

"Harris has told me everything - he fell into Isidore's scheme and focused his attention entirely on you, making Isidore's 'taste' completely disappear."

Malinda didn't have any image at all, she laughed so hard.

"Tsk."

There was such a sound in Arthur's mouth.

"Are you admitting it?"

Malinda asked enthusiastically.

Arthur didn't say anything and walked directly towards the kitchen - although the heavy rain outside had become lighter, the autumn rain had already made the entire South Los Angeles feel chilly.

On such nights, the best way to keep warm is naturally hot pot.

But the materials were incomplete, so Arthur could only settle for the next best thing.

Opted for hot cocoa with milk and sugar.

Of course, he only prepared his own.

"Stingy man."

Malinda looked at the only cup of hot cocoa, curled her lips, and then entered the kitchen and started making hot cocoa - behind the other party, Arthur had surprise in his eyes.

Not surprised that Malinda would enter the kitchen.

But he was surprised by how excited Malinda was just now.

His defecation anywhere actually made the famous Lady of the Night so excited that she jumped for joy?

Is this a serious illness?

Arthur guessed.

However, when Malinda turned around, Arthur raised his hand and covered his face with the cup.

Malinda seemed not to notice this, and said while drinking hot cocoa.

"Harris came to me to try to repair the relationship between you and him - of course, from my perspective, I don't want you to have a good relationship."

As she spoke, Malinda pursed her lips, with the corners of her mouth slightly downwards.

Then, without waiting for Arthur to ask, Malinda took the initiative.

"Harris will continue to run Rat Tail Alley."

Rat Tail Alley’, the core of Rat Tail Street. Apart from Malinda’s auction, the secret gatherings in Rat Tail Alley are the first choice for people on the mysterious side of South Los Angeles.

Even more people are willing to go there.

Because, hidden.

More because of chaos.

In the former, their respective identities can be kept confidential.

The latter is murder and looting - greedy people wield the blade of greed and plunder greedy things.

With the existence of the 'Rat Parliament' in name only, the secret gathering in Rat Tail Alley should have been disbanded, but Harris took over the secret gathering here again.

There is no doubt that this was approved by the Countess.

In other words, it was supported by the Countess.

Why?

Naturally, it was to balance Malinda's 'Ms. Long Night's Salon' - the countess would never allow a dominant family to appear in her territory.

unless……

It's the other party's own business.

Arthur ignored Malinda's depression. The young 'psychic' was thinking about what Harris could bring to him after he continued to be in charge of Rat Tail Alley.

The first is that Wiggins can get a certain level of support on Rat Street outside of Rat Tail Alley.

Secondly, it is possible to obtain some mysterious good things - instead of buying them from Harris, Arthur believes that those things that can be purchased legally must have been selected and allowed by the earl.

What he wanted was something that had not been chosen by that earl.

He only cares about those who bring things to secret gatherings to sell.

Preferably, with malice.

Killing and stealing goods?

Black and white?

No, no no!

Too vulgar.

He prefers to call it ‘robbing the rich and giving to the poor’.

To do this, he is willing to repair the relationship with Harris. At the same time, he needs to cultivate an 'agent' who will always pay attention to this gathering. It is best to have a fixed store.

Of course, the Rat Tail Lane shops need to take their time.

However, 'Agent' Arthur has the right person.

Wiggins!

Goldfinger is smart, alert and a resident of Mouse Street, making him the perfect choice.

As for not being a mysterious person?

For Arthur, the most important thing is that Wiggins is not a mysterious side character!

If Wiggins was a mystery man, Arthur would hesitate.

He couldn't be sure whether Wiggins would notify him if he came across something good, or whether he would keep it for himself.

And now?

There are no such concerns.

Wiggins would have no idea what the seller was carrying.

But Wiggins knew sellers would be in extreme danger.

Therefore, Wiggins will know exactly what he has to do—that is, after finding a suitable seller, notify him as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Arthur took a sip of hot cocoa.

"Is this why Harris is eager to prove himself?"

Arthur recalled the way the former co-founder of the 'Mouse Council' stared at him in the 'Tate Cane Shop' in the afternoon.

"This is just one of them!"

"Also because...

There is something crucial about Isidore! "

Malinda said as she looked at Arthur.

Arthur rolled his eyes.

"Don't test me!"

The most important thing is nothing more than the [Key of Herc] or the [Crown of the Rat King]. Both of these things are on Arthur, but Arthur will never admit it.

"Hehe, reasonable doubt!"

Malinda smiled and began to change the subject without any embarrassment.

"The Count knows about your performance in the White Bird District. She appreciates your reaction and decision-making. She promised that if you can win the 'Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition', she can give you the title of 'Knight'!"

Malinda said seriously.

Arthur cursed.

here we go! here we go!

It finally begins!

The capitalists are making trouble for the poor workers!

I knew that the previous [Silent Step] was not that easy to get!

Give me some candy first, then the cake will be easier to draw!

"Are you thinking something rude?"

Malinda looked at Arthur suspiciously.

Although she does not have a talent like [All Things Eater] and cannot digitize her attributes and skills, this lady's [Fire-Sighted Gaze] and [Observation of Moments and Colors] are definitely not low.

Arthur did not deliberately hide it, but also deliberately showed a trace of dissatisfaction, which was noticed by the other party.

Children who cry will get milk!

Arthur, who had known this for a long time, would not remain silent.

He needs to express his dissatisfaction appropriately, only in this way can he obtain corresponding satisfaction.

Therefore, facing Malinda's inquiry, Arthur sighed softly.

"It's just a little different from what I thought."

"You don't want to obtain the title of 'Knight' and a full set of 'Swift Bird Swordsmanship' at the same time, do you?

Impossible!

Although 'knights' are considered 'nobles' to a certain extent and can enjoy the same rights as other 'nobles' and are allowed to trade 'family swordsmanship', but obtaining a full set of swordsmanship at once will still be used by other Nobles criticized.

You can choose any one of the moves, breathing methods, and meditation methods, and then use your merits to exchange for the remaining two. "

Can you trade 'Family Swordsmanship' if you have a noble status? !

Arthur was stunned when he heard Malinda's words. He didn't know that noble status had such conveniences, but this did not prevent him from pretending to know.

And, want to know more.

The next moment, the Level 5 [Bluff] started to flash again.

Arthur put down the hot cocoa in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said softly——

"You know, that's not what I care about."
