They all call me master

After Arthur asked Wu Ni to return to No. 2 Kirk Street quietly, he was not in any hurry.

The young 'spiritual medium' who was accustomed to keeping a secret had placed another 'spy' in the dock area.

His [Death Hound] Kulic.

Kuliqi, who is smart, loyal and has special abilities, will definitely bring back everything he wants to know.

Therefore, Arthur stood at the bottom of the pit and looked around intently——

It was different from what Arthur thought before.

The bottom of the pit in front of you is not a hidden place completely dug by Holden. There are also traces of digging by the miners of South Town.

In addition to the unique wooden supports during mining and oil lamp hooks every 3 meters, which proved Arthur's guess, there were... corpses of miners.

‘Lithorpe used the original mine as the starting point and dug around South Town to explore the mineral content he owned, and this was an abandoned exploration mine...

No!

At least, your Lordship has made good use of this place! ’

Arthur's eyes swept over the corpses.

Each corpse had broken bones and tendons after being hit with heavy objects.

Obviously, these are the victims after the mining accident.

Nanzhen, with its mineral properties, attracts a large number of outsiders, and even people after the bankruptcy of Nanlos will choose this place as their residence.

For such people, generally no one really cares about their final destination.

As for what you care about?

After losing some money, I didn’t care anymore.

Not life can be measured by money.

But living people are always influenced by money.

Of course, there are also those who are not influenced.

Arthur looked at some corpses that were obviously not dressed in miners' clothing and remained silent.

Arthur looked back at the ritual side of the 'Grudge Ritual'.

Holden didn’t choose this place for nothing.

The other party is using the grievances of those who died in vain to initiate the 'Revenge Ritual', and then uses this grievance to attract more death energy to complete the entire ritual.

The young 'spiritual medium' clasped his hands together and whispered——

"RIP."

The voice is soft and sincere.

This is not [bluffing], but a sincere wish.

Because what follows...

'devour'.

As a person with vested interests, Arthur believes that he should have some attitude instead of turning a blind eye.

Of course, it's better to do something besides attitude.

Thinking in his heart, Arthur let go of the suppressed [Breath of Death].

Suddenly, the long whale sucked the river!

Rich and pure death energy poured into Arthur's body. This time, excluding the amount of stored death energy, the most essential parts were integrated into Arthur's flowing blood, rushing towards his heart, and followed by The beating of the heart flows to all parts of the body, and the cycle seems to be instantaneous, and the illusory snake appears in front of Arthur's eyes.

The serpent moved according to Arthur's thoughts.

The serpent shook its head and tail when Arthur was happy.

When Arthur was angry, the snake hissed.

When Arthur was sad, the serpent coiled its body sadly.

Arthur's every move affects this big snake.

because--

This big snake was originally Arthur himself.

In a daze, Arthur confirmed this guess.

And the moment Arthur confirmed this guess, the illusory snake began to absorb the purest power of death, and its body became real and expanded again.

Five hundred meters!

One thousand meters!

One thousand five hundred meters!

This growth stopped when the snake's body reached a full length of three thousand meters.

A powerful feeling filled Arthur's heart.

It made him feel extremely happy.

That is the purest joy.

The words describe this happiness——

[‘Snake of Death. Thin. Broken’ was promoted to ‘Snake of Death, Broken’]

(Note 7: The ritual ‘Cat Orange’, under the coordination of your talent, has no conflict with your bloodline, but rather complements each other)

…

The word "thin" in the bloodline that Arthur cared about completely disappeared with this "swallowing" of the "Grudge Ritual".

The bloodline of [Snake of Death. Residual] that has become normal has brought a comprehensive strengthening to Arthur.

Attack, defend, hide.

This feeling of going hand in hand made the corners of Arthur's mouth curl up.

Especially when he discovered that he was immune to a single high-explosive grenade even if he was naked, the anxiety that existed in the heart of Arthur, who was extremely insecure, calmed down a lot.

As for the normalized +12 defense level for Thunder, and an additional +24 defense level by letting go of body restrictions?

Arthur: Emmm.

He swore he didn't mean it.

Who knows why his bloodline always defends against Thunder.

He doesn't want to either!

I really don’t want to!

Earl of Nanlos, please don’t get me wrong!

I'm definitely not targeting you!

I mean……

‘The Shadow Earl’s plan is one step closer!

Alas, Holden is such a nice person! ’

The young 'psychic medium' felt the changes in himself carefully while giving high praise to the member of the 'Dead Poets Society'.

Even though the other party was killed by him and no bones were left, this did not prevent Arthur from being grateful to the other party.

as well as……

Rethinking ‘Dead Poets Society’.

Previously, Arthur planned to use the identity of the 'Son of Death' to give himself an extra layer of protection.

And now?

It seems like it could be put to better use.

Maybe he can complete his bloodline and improve his talents.

Of course, the original plan of ‘swordsmanship’ cannot be forgotten.

Not now, though.

Now?

Touching the dog's head that appeared in the shadow, after Arthur communicated with his hound, there was a deep thought in his eyes——

‘Dead Poets Society’ left lead singer?

Actually coming to South Los Angeles? !

In this way, ‘Dead Poets Society’ cares about Holden far more than expected.

Then I can naturally add some chips to myself! ’

Thinking of this, Arthur jumped up.
