They all call me master

When you have the initiative, be bold.

Face strangers and offer high prices.

When facing an acquaintance, offer a higher price.

This was still said by old Charlie, and Arthur believed it deeply - now that they have the initiative, it means that they are about to have everything.

As for why you offer a higher price when facing an acquaintance?

Arthur didn't understand at the time and asked old Charlie in confusion.

When old Charlie faced this problem, he sighed helplessly.

‘Mental compensation! ’

At that time, Arthur still didn't understand, but old Charlie didn't explain any more.

Of course Arthur understands now——

As long as you collect money from an acquaintance, no matter whether you lose money or make a profit, the acquaintance will think you have made a profit, which will make them feel uncomfortable.

If you meet someone with a lower price than you, it will be even worse. Your acquaintances will only scold you for being unreasonable.

However, they never care about quality or reliability, only price.

But if you go to a stranger's store, they don't pay much attention to the price, but only care about the quality of the store.

There is quite an illusion that when you fall in love with a rich man, you don't care about money and you need spiritual support; when you fall in love with a poor guy, you don't care about spiritual support and you only need money.

‘Maybe this is ‘business’, not the so-called ‘familiarity’! ’

Arthur muttered the homophonic joke in his heart that he only knew, and looked at Kang Siang in front of him.

After hearing Arthur's categorical refusal, 'Whale Sword' Kang Siang showed no anger on his face and no surprise in his eyes. He just sighed softly——

"As expected, 'nobles cannot be trusted'!

At first, when I contacted the 'Baron Kolor', he said that he could give me a map of the 'Advanced Person' for only 100,000 gold coins.

When I was trying to think of a way to raise money, the other party suddenly contacted me and said that as long as I did him a favor, he could give me a better map of the 'advanced person'!

Clearly, this bastard was using their blocked knowledge to exploit me!

But, Master, you don’t!

You just rejected me frankly, but you never thought of deceiving me!

Your sincerity is enough to show that you are a true master!

Moreover, Master, the map of the ‘entrant’ in your hand must be better than that of that bastard noble!

Please teach me!

As long as it's not death or slavery, I can accept it! "

As Kang Siang spoke, he bowed sincerely to Arthur.

More than one map?

Is there any difference between good and bad?

While Conson bowed, Arthur quickly compiled the information.

When Kang Siang straightened up, Arthur continued to speak calmly.

"Do you know my origins?"

"Where are you from?"

Kang Siang looked confused.

Sign up for the 'Swordsmanship Competition' today, and the 'Whale Killing Sword' only arrived in Nanlos today. The news about Arthur was only mentioned by the attendant of 'Baron Collor' on the road.

Naturally, it is not comprehensive.

No!

It’s certainly not comprehensive!

And those cunning nobles must be hiding the most critical information!

"I am the contemporary 'Black Cat' of 'Cat Party. Black'!"

Arthur said calmly, this secret was no longer a secret.

With Garcia's 'propaganda', in Nanlos at this moment, as long as you investigate carefully, you can know the news.

As for why Kang Siang didn't investigate in front of him?

Most likely, he has absolute confidence in himself!

The opponent does not think that with his 'Major Arcana level' strength, he will meet an opponent in the 'Swordsmanship Competition' - even if the contestants have the same 'noble privileges' as him, and have 'changed their age and origin' and so on.

In fact, this is also true.

In any place in Nan County, the 'Major Arcana' represents a force that cannot be ignored. As long as they are not facing some 'big nobles', no one will bother to dominate the mountain.

It's like Whale Island in Conceon, that's it.

Therefore, Kang Siang never thought that a 'swordsmanship competition' would meet an 'advanced person'. Originally, he thought that the biggest opponent in this 'swordsmanship competition' would be the 'Blizzard Sword' Deljo.

hiss!

Amid Arthur's clearly audible gasp, a look of surprise appeared on Kang Siang's face.

"No wonder there is the power of death mixed in. Is this the 'Tongyou' of 'Cat School Black'?

No wonder you can't teach me!

Depending on the initial ritual, the entry 'map' is naturally different. Although it can be used, it will cause a lot of trouble later, and some will cause irreversible damage! "

Seeing the surprise on Kang Siang's face, Arthur sat there calmly, thinking secretly in his heart——

'really!

The ceremony is related to the subsequent ‘map’!

What will be the subsequent map of the ritual [Cat Orange]?

Daju self-portrait?

Or a picture of Daju eating? ’

After teasing himself, Arthur quickly became serious.

When Kang Siang said the "map" just now, Arthur was guessing whether the "map" was closely related to the ceremony for the "gifted person" to enter the "mysterious side".

The answer is neither good nor bad.

Different rituals can also use ‘maps’ mixedly.

However, you have to bear the corresponding price.

Moreover, it is definitely not as perfect as the one with the same origin.

Even, it is impossible to take another step forward.

And this is what the nobles and major forces want!

They need to make the "mysterious people" who are not part of their "circle" always one level lower than themselves——

‘Is knowledge connected in layers, but blocked in layers?

What an effective means! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, but he didn't feel any anxiety.

With his current situation, there are too many breakthroughs to make up for this.

Needless to say, the Earl of Nanlos.

The remaining three of the four barons of South Los.

In addition to the nobles, there are also some forces worthy of attention.

Moreover, he also has the biggest advantage, he is 'already an advanced person' - as long as this exists, he has the initiative and room to operate.

Arthur had a lot of ideas in his mind.

Kang Siang, who was on the opposite side, also made a decision.

"Master, your moral character and strength have completely impressed me!

I hope you can lend a helping hand to Whale Island - because a 'West Sea General' has appeared among the pirates in the West Sea. The pirates in the East Sea are not willing to be lonely. They will also hold a 'Celebration of Summer' next year. Pirate gathering', at that time offshore and ocean trade will be affected.

But it is our immovable islands that bear the brunt.

These pirates will attack everything in sight like locusts passing through.

But it would be different if there was an ‘initiator’!

The reputation of the 'Entertainer' is enough to intimidate them! "

Kang Siang changed his strategy.

After this 'Whale Sword' confirmed that he could not become an 'initiator' in a short time, he immediately chose to hire an 'initiator' to go to Whale Island.

As for other people, this ‘Whale Killing Sword’ is not at ease.

But Arthur?

This ‘Whale Killing Sword’ is absolutely at ease.

It was not only the character that Arthur showed now that impressed the 'Whale Sword', but also the reputation of the previous generation of 'Black Cats' - who didn't know the aloofness of the previous generation of 'Black Cats'.

How could the successor of such a character be so bad?

At least you don’t have to worry about magpie nests being occupied by doves.

Kang Siang was frightened when other 'initiates' went to Whale Island, but when Arthur went to Whale Island, Kang Siang was relieved.

“I would like to use all my savings to treat you to a holiday at Whale Island.

Of course, in order to hang the flag of the 'Kratos Family' more legitimately, Whale Island's future income will be 30% of yours. "

As he said this, Kang Siang, the ‘Whale Killing Sword’, stood up and saluted.

This time, it’s no longer a bow.

Instead, he knelt down on one knee, raised the sword on the door panel with both hands, and swore an oath——

“Roaring waves, violent wind and thunder!

I swear with the sword in my hand that from today on, I will defend the reputation, interests, and territory of the person in front of me with my sword, stand together with the person in front of me, and fight to the death with the enemy of the person in front of me.

My oath will spread across the sea!

Never change! "

Almost without giving Arthur a chance to refuse, Kang Siang began to swear.

It’s different from the ‘Lion Heart Ceremony’ vow.

It is also different from an ordinary oath.

This time it’s the ‘Gift of the Sea’!

With Kang Siang's [Spiritual] instigation, Arthur can easily sense the movements of the person in front of him - although it is not as intimate as the 'Lion Heart Ceremony', it also has corresponding restraints.

Arthur's face showed just the right amount of helplessness.

When he saw the helplessness on Arthur's face, Kang Siang immediately felt happy -

‘Sure enough, people have to be shameless!

this time……

Make a lot of money! ’

Then, the ‘Whale Sword’ stood up, approached Arthur and asked in a low voice——

"Master, do we want to do something big?"
