They all call me master

Chapter 58 Spider’s Claw (please read~please support~)

Arthur originally thought this was a low-risk, high-yield cooperation.

But who would have thought that such danger lurked!

When he thought that this matter might be led by the reclusive Earl of Nanlos, Arthur felt his temples swell.

The Earl of Nanlos was not born to be reclusive.

The other party became reclusive after the old earl suddenly died of illness and took over as the master of Nanlos.

A young man became the ruler of a place, but he became reclusive. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong!

In fact, there have been some rumors so far.

Old Charlie said to his predecessor more than once, 'The lions in Inner Bay will grow old one day, and the tigresses in Nanlos will also grow up one day.'

The predecessor didn't understand the meaning of these words.

But Arthur understands!

‘Involved in the fight between the Grand Duke of Neiwan and the Earl of Nanlos... This is a bit of trouble! ’

Arthur frowned secretly.

He knew very well that there was a great opportunity here, a chance to reach the sky in one step, but if he was not careful, he would die without a burial place.

Just like Coster and Emond!

These two people may not be from the Grand Duke, but are slightly inclined to the Grand Duke, and now they have been killed by the Count.

It was even possible that just because these two people appeared in front of the earl at the right time, they were regarded as the trigger of the whole incident.

Then?

The chamber of commerce founded by the two of them was crushed to pieces!

And everything that happened now was the beginning of the count's attempt to get rid of the clutches of the archduke.

Because of this, he was unable to receive the [mission] - under the leadership of this earl, even if the course of the matter would change, the result would not change at all!

Thought in his heart, Arthur remained calm.

He looked at Malinda, picked up the previous topic, and said in the same serious tone.

"compensate?

I just helped you four times, starting with my suggestion to go to the corridor on the second floor, then letting you use a firecracker to get rid of the trouble caused by Brody's death, and then the provocation of those young people!

Therefore, it is four compensations! "

Arthur's serious and calculating look made Malinda laugh.

She doesn't hate this kind of fussing.

At least, it made her feel more at ease than being secretive and causing misunderstandings.

Therefore, Malinda immediately promised.

"I remember, never once!"

"No, no, no, what I mean is, can you exchange four compensations for one big one - and it's best to pay in cash, otherwise I always feel like I'm looking at a bad check."

Arthur corrected Malinda's words.

The check came with the golden ticket.

Checks were used when large monetary checks were not sufficient to satisfy the transaction.

However, in the early days, due to loopholes in checks, several cases of bad checks occurred, causing several nobles and businessmen to lose face.

However, in order to save the face of the nobles, these cases were not made public.

Therefore, no one knows who these nobles are.

But there are rumors that the man from Yanbao seemed to have died in depression because of this incident.

However, everyone took it as a joke.

After all, Yanbao is far away overseas and is not under the jurisdiction of Nanjun. Moreover, the Duke of Yanbao was well known to be in poor health. It is reasonable for him to suddenly worsen and die.

Malinda naturally knew these rumors.

She even knew more.

Therefore, when she saw Arthur's sincere look, she felt a little relieved in her heart.

She waved directly to Edwin without any hesitation.

Empty promises are far inferior to actual benefits.

She always thought so!

Especially when Arthur plays an important role, if Arthur just accepts the empty promise, she may hesitate to replace this candidate.

Because those who believe in empty promises are either fools or have other agendas.

No matter how he looked at it, Arthur didn't look like a fool.

In the lounge, Malinda picked up another piece of egg tart, and Arthur picked up a piece of puff pastry cake.

The brown pastry is dotted with nuts and filled with cream. It is crispy and milky when you take a bite. The nuts make a unique crunching sound in Arthur's mouth when chewing.

"Didn't you eat it?"

Malinda looked at Arthur who was about to pick up another piece of strawberry cream layer cake.

She discovered that Arthur had a sweet tooth.

Naturally, so does she.

"This is a midnight snack!"

Arthur emphasized.

As [Physique] increases, his appetite increases day by day, and he digests more quickly. Especially when he thought too much just now, his digestion accelerated, and now he is really hungry.

Of course, the cook at Malinda's house is also really good at cooking.

When Arthur ate another piece of shell cake and drank a glass of water, Edwin came back, holding a long box in his arms.

Malinda smacked her fingers quite invisibly, pulled the tablecloth aside to wipe her hands, and took the box.

He is as careless as those rude sailors at sea.

Even if the other person is wearing a nice, shiny little dress.

Arthur took the basin from Edwin and used warm water to wash away the grease and cream on his palms. When he wiped his hands, the box had already been opened by Malinda and pushed in front of him.

What is placed in the box is a sheathed long sword. The standard is a half-hand sword. The scabbard and hilt are black, and the counterweight and handguard are silver-white. When the silver and black colors are intertwined under the light, it has a certain effect. There was a flickering but silent contradictory feeling, and when Arthur held the hilt of the sword and pulled it out, a sharp feeling stimulated the hair on Arthur's face, but the blade was dim, even under the light, it was not visible at all. Inconspicuous.

More words appeared in front of Arthur——

[Name: Spider Claw]

[Type: sword weapon]

[Quality: Secret Technique]

[Attributes: 1, sharp; 2, light; 3, bloodthirsty; 4, poison sac]

[Note: During the 'Seven Years' War', an assassin used this sword to assassinate two West Coast generals until he chose a third target and pointed the sword at a little girl in order to kill and silence her. , the sudden orange cat destroyed everything. The assassin died of serious injuries, and his body was hung in front of the two armies, but the sword was lost until it appeared at Ms. Changye's auction and was collected in Ms. Changye's private treasure house. middle】

…

[Sharp: Its sharpness can easily pierce and cut through steel armor]

[Lightweight: Far easier than ordinary weapons, allowing the user to wield it effortlessly]

[Bloodthirsty: The special blood groove makes it easier to tear the wound, and the wound is not easy to suture]

[Poison sac: The counterweight contains poison, which can be wiped on the sword blade to make it poisonous]

…

"I got it by accident!"

"Pretty good weapon!"

"You can try it!"

Buzz!

Before Malinda could finish speaking, Arthur drew out his long sword and waved it gently. His experience in [Basic Swordsmanship] allowed him to quickly adapt to this sword, and it also made him understand that this sword was very suitable for [Swift Bird Swordsmanship]. Pseudo].

In fact, he just held the long sword according to some methods in [Xunniao Swordsmanship. Pseudo], and he had the illusion that the sword became an extension of his arm.

Undoubtedly, this is excellent compensation.

"A very good sword."

Arthur praised, but did not thank him too much.

Because he deserves it.

Malinda didn't care either.

The lady just warned--

"Edwin will set off immediately, and if you set off later, they will regard you as the main pursuit target, so...be careful!"

Arthur nodded, picked up the sword, and wanted to put it into the long box.

However, after thinking about it, he still put the long sword on his waist. He disliked the possible saliva on it.

Even though it looks clean on top.

Malinda noticed this and curled her lips.

However, he still stopped Arthur who was about to leave.

"Show you something good!"
