They all call me master

The champion of the swordsmanship competition was officially announced after the singing and dancing in the evening——

"The champion of the 9th 'Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition', Arthur Kratos!"

Following the announcement of the female sword master, cheers erupted in Alta Square, and the Nanlos people waved their hats and colorful flags vigorously.

But Arthur was slightly startled.

Because words that surprised him appeared in front of him.

【Achievements unlocked! 】

[Achievement: Champion of Swordsmanship Competition; XP + 200]

…

These two short lines of text made Arthur's brain spin rapidly.

Before [Achievement] appeared, Arthur had never thought of it.

However, after [Achievement] appeared, Arthur had more ideas.

‘The unlocking of [Achievements] should be recognized by a large number of people, just like I won the swordsmanship competition this time.

What about the ‘psychic medium’?

Compared to the champion of the 'Swordsmanship Competition', more people should know and recognize my name as 'Psychic Medium'!

so……

Another thing is needed: recognition from relevant people in the same industry and sequence. ’

Arthur thought in his heart, but frowned secretly.

‘The [achievement] of my ‘psychic medium’ has not been unlocked, is it because people in the same industry and in the same sequence do not recognize me?

Tsk, peers look down upon each other!

If you treat me like this, a young, upright, simple and kind-hearted young man, you will encounter bad luck.

You must look at the road when you go out, otherwise you will be hit by a carriage and die from broken bones and tendons, which is very painful.

You all have to be careful when drinking water, otherwise you will most likely suffocate and die if you choke. ’

Arthur thought in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he thanked the female swordsman.

"Arthur, you deserve it."

The female swordsman congratulated Arthur.

Just when Arthur took the initiative to close the distance with the Countess, the female swordsman looked at Arthur with more and more friendly eyes.

Arthur clearly felt this kindness.

He knew that this was the reward for his 'performance' just now.

Arthur knew very well what the Earl wanted.

The other party wants the stability of ordinary people.

I also want the stability of people on the mysterious side.

Only in this way will South Los Angeles prosper.

As the latter, he led the former and created Nanlos' prosperity. If he could not get goodwill, the Nanlos family would have perished long ago.

Likewise, if he does this, he will definitely get some 'positive feedback'.

For example……

Recruitment of the Earl of Nanlos’ staff!

After the death of the old earl, Count Nanlos expanded the original 'staff group' and divided it into '16 staff groups', '66 staff groups' and ordinary 'staff groups'.

Among them, the core "Sixteen Staff Group" is prepared for the mysterious people in Nanlos.

The Earl of Nanlos is learning from the old lion in the inner bay.

Winning over these mysterious people can not only enhance one's own power, but also bring stability to Nanlos.

And what did the countess pay?

It's just some promises.

It promises to give those people on the mystical side corresponding room for advancement in status and the right to borrow mystical knowledge.

These are all readily available.

It's completely free of charge.

But it was exactly what Arthur needed.

Especially the latter.

Arthur has been coveting the mysterious knowledge collected by the Nanlos family for a long time.

Maybe he couldn't see the core, but Arthur didn't mind as long as it could expand his reserve of mysterious knowledge.

If it were before, it would be quite difficult to join the '16 Staff Group'.

But it's different now.

Arthur's identity has long since changed.

More importantly, with the occurrence of some previous accidents, the changes in the 'staff group' had already become ineffective, and that was when Arthur took advantage of it.

In fact, the female swordsman at this time was already a little tempted.

After Arthur showed various tendencies, the female swordsman already had the idea of ​​​​recommending Arthur to join the '16 Staff Group'.

It is even better to serve as the head of the staff team.

Because, in the opinion of this female swordsman, instead of letting those mysterious people who still don’t know their true thoughts after many tests to serve as the head of the staff, and eventually cause trouble again and again, it is better to let Arthur be inclined like this. The person in charge of the Lord Earl is in charge.

Arthur, who had been quietly watching the female swordsman master, his [eyes like a torch] and [awareness of words] flashed rapidly.

When he noticed that there were thoughts and hesitations in the eyes of the female swordsman, Arthur immediately said -

"Thank you Lord Earl for providing me with the stage!"

There is no doubt that Arthur's answer satisfied the female swordsman.

Immediately, the swordsman made a decision.

Recommend Arthur to join the '16 Staff Group' and serve as its leader.

The female swordsman thought of this and immediately patted Arthur's shoulder hard.

Then, he took out the champion’s prize——

Sword, sharp weapon level.

Bonus, 100 ropes.

For ordinary people, it is naturally a pretty good reward.

However, for people on the mysterious side, it is nothing.

100 suo is just 10 gold tickets.

And a sharp-edged sword?

Just exchange it for another 10 gold tickets.

However, Arthur did not dislike it.

Even deep down in his heart, Arthur didn't complain about the earl's stinginess, because the real reward was immediately distributed.

"Everyone has witnessed the strength of Sir Arthur Kratos with our own eyes.

And his noble character amazed me even more.

Therefore, the Earl canonized Arthur Kratos as a ‘Knight’! "

Swordmaster Julie announced loudly.

Suddenly, the surroundings were quiet.

People's faces showed envy and blessings.

The ‘extra prize’ for the champion of this swordsmanship competition is basically known to everyone except those who really have no information.

But this does not prevent people from being envious when they see the title of ‘knight’ given out as a prize.

That is really crossing the class and becoming a noble.

If in the Silver Age, civilians would have to bow to the current Arthur and address him as Lord Knight, otherwise they would be whipped.

The entire canonization process was simplified because of the Earl's seclusion.

There is no ‘Lion Heart Ceremony’ as ordinary people imagine.

There is no such thing as a prosperous tapestry ceremony.

All there was was a simple conversation between the female swordsman on his behalf and Arthur——

"Looking forward to your contribution to Nanlos, Arthur Kratos!"

“It has been an honor to serve South Los Angeles.”

With these two sentences, the entire canonization ceremony is over.

Arthur did not kneel down on one knee, but took the sword with both hands.

At this moment, Arthur once again thanked the Countess for her seclusion.

It is really great that there is no need for prosperity tapestry or kneeling down for canonization.

Arthur has always been in awe of 'rules'.

Because Arthur knows very well that if he wants to truly integrate into this world, he must abide by the existing 'rules' of this world.

Even if it feels a little uncomfortable, you have to do it.

Unless you are strong enough to ignore everything.

And obviously, Arthur knew he was far from it.

Therefore, the young 'psychic medium' has already prepared himself psychologically.

But now no more!

That couldn't be better!

Moreover, there is an unexpected surprise——

【Achievements unlocked! 】

[Achievement: Knight status; XP +500]

…

A 'knight' status that is significantly higher than the champion of the 'Nanlos Sword Competition' brings more XP to Arthur.

Seeing the XP value reaching 1100 again, the happy smile on Arthur's face suddenly became extremely sincere.

And under the illumination of colorful fireworks, such sincerity becomes dazzling.

Cheers came and went.

People celebrated wildly.

Alta Square was plunged into a sea of ​​joy.

Everyone is involved.

Everyone's attention is also focused here.

Even Arthur, who is not good at drinking, joined the championship parade with a glass of wine.

Therefore, no one noticed that an unknown adventure was quietly unfolding under the beach somewhere in the dock area.

only……

It didn't go well.
