They all call me master

Chapter 30 Compensation is just after lunch (please read~please support~)

The unexpected encounter with the beggar had already tensed Arthur's nerves.

At this moment, Arthur looked the same as usual, but the vigilance in his heart was ten times more than before, and any disturbance was irritating his nerves.

Putting two bundles of explosives into his coat, Arthur walked along the wall and slowly approached the modified Broome carriage.

The special effect [Shadow Hidden] brought by the talent [Dark Snake. Hidden] plays its due role.

With the Stealth +3 correction, Arthur came to the back of the carriage almost silently.

Relying on the hearing brought by 1.7 [Physique], Arthur clearly heard the conversation in the carriage.

"Bourne, are you sure he is really psychic?"

"Yes, boss!"

"I and a dozen other people saw it with their own eyes!"

"Arthur Kratos is a true master of 'psychic medium'!"

The conversation in the carriage and Bourne's voice made Arthur pinch the fuse that had just been lit.

Just like he had approached quietly before, Arthur returned to his original position, put the two bundles of explosives back into the psychic box, and then walked openly towards No. 2 Kirk Street.

This undisguised movement was immediately seen by the people in the carriage.

Bourne, whom he had met before, jumped out of the carriage and waved to Arthur.

"Master Kratos, here!"

The young swordsmanship instructor gave Arthur the honorific title he deserved, and looked at Arthur with even more deep awe.

There is no doubt that what happened before has had a considerable impact on the young coach. Under normal circumstances, the other party will never appear in front of Arthur again in a short period of time.

However, there are always surprises.

After saying hello, the young swordsmanship instructor turned aside, revealing the middle-aged man behind him.

Unlike Bourne next to him, this middle-aged man is well-dressed, has a big belly, and has two shiny black mustaches above his lips.

Before Arthur could get closer, the middle-aged man came up to him and took off his hat.

"I'm finally waiting for you, Master Arthur Kratos."

Faced with the other party's enthusiasm, Arthur smiled.

"Welcome to 2 Kirk Street."

Arthur opened the courtyard door and walked in. The other party immediately signaled the coachman to keep an eye on the carriage, and called for Bourne to follow him in.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, Arthur began to wonder what the other party could give him.

The other party is Bourne's boss, that is, the owner of the 'Joelchok Fencing Club'. At this moment, someone in the club died. The other party did not deal with the trouble, but went to No. 2 Kirk Street to wait for him. What does it mean?

Reconnecting to the conversation just now, the answer is obvious.

Murderous Desi is telling the truth.

Little's third place in the last 'Sword Competition' was really obtained through bribery.

And since he can communicate with the undead, he naturally knows more.

In order to shut his mouth, the other party would wait here.

So what will the other party use to block his mouth?

Money is a must.

Apart from money, is it possible to have sword skills?

The other party has a swordsmanship club, so there might be some swordsmen who have close contact with them.

It's a rip-off anyway, and the worst case scenario is that you'll have to pay the extortionate price!

Arthur thought without any burden.

Although the other party was not the ill-intentioned guy he imagined, judging from what he did, the other party did not fall into the category that could make Arthur feel merciful.

Moreover, this is also in line with the 'spiritual rules' set by old Charlie: sinful coins should be purified and turned into food, clothes, and houses.

Therefore, the Kratos family had a residence on Kirk Street, and also received food, clothing, and an education that ordinary people considered extremely expensive.

Many people are envious.

But there was no jealousy.

Because when old Charlie had some spare time, he really helped some poor people.

Of course, there will never be a shortage of white-eyed wolves at any time.

If you give him some, he will ask for more; if you give him more, he will kill you.

Faced with such people, Old Charlie usually chooses 'exorcism' or 'purification'.

The former has a whole body.

No bones of the latter remain.

‘What a respectable elder. ’

Arthur evaluated his grandfather very subjectively through the memories of his previous life.

Todd Gilli, who was following Arthur, became increasingly uneasy.

The fencing club owner was also shocked by the layout at 2 Kirk Street.

In fact, not only Todd Gilli was frightened, but Bourne who was following him was also frightened.

This tall and sturdy swordsmanship instructor not only had panic-stricken eyes, but his body was extremely stiff when he walked, and his clenched fists seemed to be ready to punch out at any time.

Fortunately, the corridor was not long. As soon as he entered the psychic medium's hall, Bourne let out a long breath, and the other party's boss took out the 10 gold tickets he had prepared.

"Please forgive me for being reckless. I really can't use words to describe my excitement after meeting you. This is some small compensation for what you experienced at the club today. Please accept it."

Todd Gilli, a businessman, spoke cleverly and respectfully.

But Arthur glanced at Bourne with a half-smile.

It's obvious that Bourne doesn't know what his boss really thinks, otherwise the boss wouldn't speak so 'tactfully'.

Arthur caught his eye and didn't even look at the 10 gold tickets on the table. He just said it in the same 'tactful' tone.

"It is indeed a small compensation. You must know that Little's ghost is following you."

"ah?!"

The owner of the fencing club exclaimed as if he was frightened, and then took out another 10 gold tickets.

"The undead are still lingering!"

Arthur continued.

Without hesitation, the swordsmanship club owner took out the 10 gold tickets again, but Arthur did not speak this time. He just looked at the other party. After hesitating for less than a second, the swordsmanship club owner took out the remaining 10 gold tickets in his arms. He took out all the 70 gold tickets and put them on the table.

At this time, fine beads of sweat began to appear on the other party's forehead.

The skill [Sense Motive and Color] flashed, and Arthur could see the other person's distress.

100 gold tickets, converted into suo, is 1,000 suo, enough for a civilian family in the old city to struggle for three years.

"The undead are gone."

Arthur said this after putting the golden ticket into his wallet.

Todd Gilli was relieved immediately, but Arthur then said again.

"But he still has an obsession - an obsession with swordsmanship. I hope you can help him complete it. He doesn't want to just use it for ordinary, basic swordsmanship. He hopes to get better."

"This... is difficult!"

"But please believe that I will try my best, please give me time!"

The owner of the fencing club had a troubled expression on his face.

Arthur was not surprised by this.

Knowledge is expensive in Nan County, and swordsmanship is naturally a type of knowledge, and from the perspective of the 'Joelchok Swordsmanship Club', the value of swordsmanship is far greater than general knowledge.

"good!"

Following Arthur's approval, Todd Gilli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bourne on the side also smiled. In the view of the young swordsmanship coach, it could compensate Arthur and appease Little's undead. Even if the 100 gold tickets were expensive, it was still worth it.

Arthur, who was in a good mood after getting what he wanted, personally sent the two of them out of the door and watched each other go away.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the other party that Arthur turned and returned to the house.

But the moment he turned around, he felt his shoulders sink.

I saw——

A palm suddenly appeared there.
