They all call me master

Arthur frowned and then lowered his eyes, as if he was concentrating on thinking.

After about five seconds, Arthur sighed softly——

"So that's it!"

As he said that, the young 'psychic medium' looked at Rick and Dill.

"Do you know what happened last night?"

Rick and Dill looked at each other.

What happened last night?

The two looked confused.

Arthur saw the confusion.

Well, I don’t know?

That would be easy!

I'm going to be free to express myself now.

Arthur thought this and felt a little relieved in his heart.

As for Rick, a bounty hunter who was lucky enough to 'dig' some ruins of the Holy See, Arthur never dared to underestimate him, even if the other party gave him the training methods of the 'Templar Knights'.

Because Arthur couldn't be sure how much Rick got in that ruins.

Therefore, Arthur needs to test it out.

And what could be more appropriate at this stage than to receive the information about the ‘Ascendant’ from the female swordsman?

Arthur secretly watched the expressions of the two people closely, lowered his voice and said——

"Rick, do you have a barrier here to prevent prying eyes?"

"have!"

Rick nodded immediately, walked to the corner of the barn, picked up a water bag, then uncorked the bottle and poured the light red liquid in the water bag onto the door and window.

Then, a circle was formed around the three people.

During this period, Dill also brought a chair for Arthur.

"Thank you, Dill."

Arthur responded politely.

"This is what I should do."

Dill, who was already convinced and admired, showed Arthur a smile, turned around and walked to the corner to pick up another water bag.

This water bag still contains the light red liquid.

Arthur's gentle expression remained unchanged. When his eyes swept over the light red liquid, he secretly shouted in his heart——

‘Sure enough, in addition to [Exorcist Holy Salt] and [Exorcist Brick Powder], the ‘Hunters’ [Boundary Oil] was also obtained by Rick!

Couldn't the ruins Rick dug up be the Holy See's training base? ’

Arthur guessed.

It has the training method of the 'Templar Knight', as well as [Exorcism Sacred Salt], [Evil Brick Powder] and [Boundary Oil], this is really similar.

You know, in the era when the 'Hunters' were recruited by the Holy See, most of the Holy See staff, in addition to the 'holy water' that they must bring, the three items [Exorcist Sacred Salt], [Evil Brick Powder] and [Boundary Oil] are must-haves. It is indispensable, just like the silver sword at the waist - this makes it impossible for people to distinguish the members of the Holy See from the 'hunters' for a long time, and also makes the 'hunters' suffer for a long time. Criticism.

Because people can't tell whether it is the Vatican staff or the 'hunters' who are responsible for the 'big case'.

In that era called 'sacred', the 'hunters' could not really resist, they could only change the inheritance model.

There is no longer the ‘Hunter’s Castle’ of the past.

Only the inheritance model of family and master-disciple is left.

At the end of the Holy Age, after the hunters became independent from the Holy See, this pattern did not change and has remained until now.

At the same time, [Boundary Oil] is also one of the true ‘salt brick oil swords’.

Salt, [Exorcism Holy Salt]!

Brick, [Evil Brick Powder]!

Oil, [Boundary Oil]!

Sword, [Hunter's Sword]!

These four things are the standard equipment of a ‘Hunter’.

The low-level versions of 'coarse salt, brick powder, kerosene, and iron swords' are used on a larger scale.

For some revenants, lower-level versions are also effective.

Rick and Dill lit the circle surrounding themselves.

[Boundary Oil] As long as it exists, it can prevent the prying eyes of most secret arts, and can also effectively isolate evil spirits and the like that teleport at will. Anyone who approaches with ill intentions and malicious intent will be burned.

Especially some malicious souls will be burned to ashes if touched.

And this is passive defense mode.

When the [Boundary Oil] is ignited, it will enter active attack mode. Anyone who peeks or approaches will be attacked by far three times the amount in defense mode.

But it’s a waste of gas!

The normal [Boundary Oil] defense mode is enough for 2 weeks of use.

And attack mode, it's just a few minutes.

Arthur, who had learned this from books, spoke directly without any explanation from Rick or Dill——

"Three strange 'step climbers' appeared in Nanlos last night."

‘The climber’!

After hearing such a call, Rick and Dill's pupils involuntarily dilated.

Shock!

A real shock!

It was obvious that Rick and Dill really didn't know.

After confirming again that the two of them really didn't know this, Arthur felt completely relaxed.

And Rick and Dill?

Without hesitation, he turned around and started adding oil to the still burning [Boundary Oil].

Suddenly, the [Boundary Oil], which was only slightly burning, with a flame of only 1-2 centimeters high, began to burn violently.

The burning [Boundary Oil] brought light and warmth, and also brought a considerable sense of security to the two retired 'bounty hunters'.

‘Step-climber’!

Still three!

How could they not be careful?

The young 'psychic medium' watched the movements of Rick and Dill without any intention of stopping them.

‘Those who climb the steps’ deserve such ‘respect’.

When the two turned around again, Arthur continued.

"Just now, I sensed another 'Step-Up' appearing in Nanlos. Although it was fleeting, it was indeed the 'Step-Up'!"

Arthur's words made both Rick and Dill breathe quickly.

Another ‘step up’?

When did the ‘step climber’ become a cabbage?

Why do they appear one after another?

Is South Los Angeles going to suffer some bad luck recently?

Without hesitation, Rick and Dill poured out all the valuable [Boundary Oil] in their hands. The flames that had originally reached half a meter, this time directly enveloped the three of them.

This time, Arthur waved his hand and said.

"Don't be nervous!

This time the 'step-climber' is an acquaintance of the Kratos family, and he should have come here for the three strange 'step-climbers'.

Well, how should I put it...

He is pretty good, but his personality is a little weird.

If you meet him, you only need to show that you are 'subordinates' of the Kratos family, and he will never harm you again.

Of course, due respect is a must. "

The flames danced, reflecting the faint gentleness in Arthur's eyes, and became dazzling under such firelight.

Rick and Dill were extremely moved.

Neither of them objected to Arthur's final call of "subordinate" to the Kratos family.

That’s a ‘step-climber’!

With just the title of 'subordinate', you can gain the ability to protect yourself in front of a 'ranker', which is really a good deal.

At the same time, it also made Rick and Dill cherish the title of 'subordinate'.

When the flames dimmed slightly, Rick took one step and ran out of the barn.

When he came back again, Rick had a notebook and a water bag in his hand.

The retired bounty hunter handed the two things into Arthur's hands respectfully.
