They all call me master

At this moment, the morning fog in the forest has not yet dissipated, but Nanlos is already busy. The people who go to work say hello to their wives and children and leave the house.

But they were not the first.

Those newsboys were the first to get up in Nanlos. About an hour ago, crisp sounds rang in the streets and alleys of Nanlos.

Moreover, unlike before, this time, the newsboys sold out the newspapers in their backpacks almost effortlessly.

Because, yesterday there was the championship match of the ‘Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition’ that too many people cared about.

Even after knowing the result, many people still want to read the description in the newspaper.

Of course, there are many people who always choose to collect.

For example: Tate, the owner of Tate's Cane Shop.

The cane shop owner, who had a clean face, hair so sparse that his scalp was visible, and thick black-rimmed glasses, bought two newspapers from the newsboy, read one newspaper, framed the other, and hung it at the door. On the side wall - he didn't catch up with yesterday's game because of the cane shop's opening and closing rules, so when he went there the winner had already been decided.

However, the cane shop owner watched everything that happened after that.

Especially when it was announced that Arthur was the champion and received the title of knight, the cane shop owner was the one who cheered the loudest.

"You really deserve to win the championship!"

Boss Tate said with a smile.

Then the doorbell rang, and an elderly lady pushed the door open and entered.

"Good morning, Ms. Amanda."

Tate greeted the elderly woman and waved to the kitten in her arms.

"Hi, Kull."

Meow~

A black and white cow cat responded to Tate.

Immediately, Tate smiled.

The boss turned around and took out biscuits from behind the counter.

Because he had to keep the store clean, Tate did not feed the cats, but he really loved cats. Because of this, he became familiar with Ms. Amanda.

Like this time, when Ms. Amanda needed a cane, Tate not only used the best materials, but also gave it a 20% discount.

"You admire Arthur?"

The woman looked at the framed newspaper and then at the newspaper on the counter.

"Well, without Mr. Kratos, I would have died long ago.

He saved my life and asked for nothing in return.

At the same time, he also gave me guidance so that I could have a normal life. "

Mention Arthur and the Tate boss immediately becomes gushing.

From that look, even a blind man could feel the gratitude.

"is that so?"

Mrs. Amanda turned her head and looked at the newspaper framed with wooden frames and glass. There was a portrait of Arthur on it. Moreover, the painting was quite fascinating. People could see at a glance that Arthur was trying to teach, especially Arthur. Se's smile is even more contagious.

"You are also familiar with Mr. Kratos?"

Tate asked.

"His Pendragon was taken from my store."

Mrs. Amanda's face showed pride.

“So that’s it—then do you need to change the head of the staff to Kull?

Lord Kratos changed the heads of his cane to look like Pendragon, one with a cat head and the other with a nest. "

Seeing Mrs. Amanda's confusion, Tate immediately explained.

Lady Amanda's face showed surprise.

Then, he smiled and nodded.

"Okay, is the process troublesome?"

"No trouble, I'll change it for you for free."

Looking at Tate who took out his paintbrush and painted according to Kull's appearance, Mrs. Amanda sat aside and waited quietly.

‘Choose him? ’

The old woman still hesitated.

Their way of survival will inevitably change once they make a choice.

And she couldn't decide whether this change was good or bad.

So, she hesitated.

After all, this is about the lives of 346 people.

…

[You successfully won the championship of the 'Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition'. The hearts of those who supported you were put back into their stomachs, and the people who hated you were itching to their teeth with hatred. But no matter what, in recent times, everyone has not hesitated to discuss you. Name, you will be known to more people; XP +500]

[Your teachings during the championship match made more people remember the name of 'Joelchok Fencing Club' and your teachings. Many people even regretted not getting 'personal guidance' from you. This has made many people more curious about you and your swordsmanship club; XP + 300]

[More people have heard your name; XP+100]

…

Arthur looked at the text in front of him.

Arthur was not surprised by the large amount of XP he received after winning the Sword Competition.

What he cares more about is the third one.

‘Has 100XP been credited every day in the past few days?

I don’t know how many days it can last?

If it can last for ten more days, the XP value for me to upgrade to Level 5 [Swift Bird Swordsmanship] will be enough! ’

Arthur thought silently in his heart.

When [Swift Bird Sword Technique] reaches Level 4, it not only speeds up bloodline replenishment, but also has bloodline special effects like [Snake Wings].

Therefore, Arthur is very much looking forward to the changes at Level 5 of [Swift Bird Swordsmanship].

Moreover, Arthur estimated that it would not take ten days to be so troublesome.

You know, he still has an unfinished exploration of the ruins.

That ruins must give him enough surprises, right?

Arthur thought in his heart and quickened his pace.

Without being watched by anyone, he returned to the manor.

At this time, the courtyard had been simply cleaned up by Mary and her people. Except for two people who were left to clean up the fallen leaves, most people started to tidy up the halls, guest rooms, etc. of the main building of the manor.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Wave after wave of guests arrived.

The first ones to arrive were, of course, Arthur's friends.

Maltz, Bob, Cook, Scott, Wiggins, and Haywood arrived in a carriage.

Then came Linda Camille in her own carriage, driven by the old housekeeper Er.

After Linda waved to Arthur as a greeting, she walked happily upstairs - Malinda was making final preparations there.

Representatives of Lord Bourne, Lord Ernest, Lord Dubois, Lord Bath and Lord Laurie arrived at about half past ten in the morning.

Baron Collor and Baron Haussmann arrived around eleven o'clock.

Among them, Lord Dubois and Lord Bath naturally sent their nephews, who were all acquaintances of everyone.

Lord Ernest was also the nephew who participated in the fencing tournament.

Lord Bourne's representative is his old butler.

The two barons sent their own sword masters.

Everything is in line with the rules of the nobility, even the order of appearance.

According to the procedure, at half past eleven, the owner of Nanlos will appear.

In the hall, the musicians who followed played music.

The chefs are even more busy, serving up some delicious but quick and convenient food.

Although the banquet has not really started yet, the guests still cannot feel neglected.

Everyone sits in each other's circles.

Chatting about things in their respective circles.

However, what concerned Arthur most was the representative of Lord Laurie - according to Malinda's description, this Lord was loyal to the 'Selena' family.

Now, the representative of Lord Lowry was sitting alone.

It's not in the corner, it's the most conspicuous place in the hall. The other party is sitting there with a golden sword, looking completely arrogant.

As if he noticed Arthur's gaze, this tall and muscular man with a fierce face stood up straight away. The strong murderous and deathly aura coming out of his body made everyone think they saw a tiger pacing.

Especially the two master swordsmen, Baron Collor and Baron Haussmann, were facing a formidable enemy.

Akana level!

At least it's Arkana level!

The two sword masters sweated slightly on their foreheads, but the next moment, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, Lord Laurie's representative walked directly towards Arthur.

Everyone knows this guy is not easy to mess with.

Especially when they saw the other party walking directly towards Arthur, many people turned their eyes towards him.

Some people are worried, some are indifferent, and some are gloating.

Maltz, Bob, Cook, Scott, Wiggins, and Haywood, who were sitting next to Arthur, all stood up, especially Bob, who narrowed his eyes and revealed a sinister smile.

If you want to trouble their boss at a time like today, you are of course an enemy.

As for enemies, Bob believes that dead enemies are the best people.

As Bob's old friend, Maltz also had this idea.

However, unlike Bob's overwhelming momentum, the old sheriff only had a hollow in the flesh and blood of his palm - that was the muzzle of the heavy musket.

Cook, Scott, Wiggins, and Haywood are much simpler.

Cook's short sword, Scott's poisonous pen, Wiggins' cane sword, and Heywood's two blazing guns appeared in his hands.

The four of them moved slowly, faintly surrounding the approaching guy.

This is not a random position, but a military formation guided by Bob.

The four of them seem simple, but they actually integrate offense and defense.

Lord Laurie's representative looked at this scene, excitement flashed in his eyes. He was too familiar with and liked the military formation. He was born in the army.

Although the four of them were a bit disappointed, he was really itchy.

Especially Maltz and Bob made him want to roar and have a hearty battle.

However, when she thought of the young lady's instructions, Desa immediately calmed down.

If he dares to take action on such a good day as today, when he returns to Barney, his legs will be broken by the lady, and he will be thrown into a stable to eat horse manure for a month.

then?

Of course, he was laughed at by those guys every day for not being able to do such a small thing well.

He can't be that stupid!

Hey, what did the lady want me to say?

I just saw two good opponents, why did I forget the lady’s instructions?

Dessa thought about it for a long time and could not remember the specific instructions given by Selina, his daughter from home, but he remembered the general meaning clearly.

So, the next moment——

thump!

The imposing Dessa knelt down on one knee towards Arthur and shouted angrily——

"I've seen you, Master Arthur!"

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
