They all call me master

Chapter 64: A reward full of heart (please read~please support~)

When Arthur walked back to No. 2 Kirk Street from the Shire District Police Station, it was already afternoon, and Arthur was in a pretty good mood at the moment——

The loud calls attracted people's attention.

From morning till now, the newsboys have not rested at all.

It wasn't just 'Murder at the Ladies' Salon' that made it to the supplement last night.

The incident of ‘Coster, Emond was avenged by an evil spirit’ was also published in the afternoon supplement after Scott’s interview this morning.

It was precisely because of Scott's interview that Arthur came back late.

I definitely didn't come back late because I wanted to see the White Rose and Red Rose chefs eating their own specialties.

Let the other person eat the food he made, this is what Arthur asked Maltz to do.

It's not too much to ask for.

Just let the two chefs eat their own specialties.

And we must ensure that nothing is left.

If there's a little bit left, just slap him in the face.

Executed by Scott himself.

When Arthur left, the two chefs had already finished half of the meal with a sad look on their face, and Scott asked Maltz for an iron glove - obviously, the maggot that jumped into his mouth left the young reporter with a It has cast an indelible shadow, and it can only be perfectly eliminated by waving your arms vigorously to vent your anger.

In the afternoon, the morning clouds had already dispersed.

People who were not aware of what happened in Nanlos still lived according to their own rhythm. The warm sunshine spread on the ground, drying the muddy ground and making the newsboys run fast.

Four groups of newsboys had already run past Arthur.

Apparently, newspapers are selling well.

People weren't tired of him as a 'medium'.

or it could be……

Today’s supplement is so attractive.

Whether it is Lady Long Night or Coaster, Emond is a big shot in South Los Angeles.

Both ordinary people and the middle class will be in awe of these big figures.

And with such awe, naturally comes intense curiosity.

"a newspaper!"

Someone was calling the newsboy again on the roadside.

The person who bought the newspaper was well-dressed and clean, and his hat was brand new. He looked like a middle-class person who had a fairly good life. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hang out in the afternoon.

The other party handed over the 6 renminbi, took the ironed newspaper, and started to read it quickly, mumbling incessantly.

"Look, Chelmie, I will definitely be more popular with Ms. Linda than you. You just rely on some news you read in the newspaper to please Ms. Linda, but I am different - I want to bring I want to sign Mr. Kratos’s signature, just wait, I will definitely find an opportunity to formally meet with Mr. Kratos!”

The voice of this person made Arthur glance at the young middle-class man and quickly leave.

The taciturn and slightly socially fearful medium almost trotted back to Kirk Street.

Of course, you have to avoid Eivor’s food stall.

call!

When standing at No. 2 Kirk Street, Arthur let out a long breath.

And when he just opened the courtyard door, the sound of carriage wheels rolling over the road came to his ears, and he subconsciously looked at it from the corner of his eye.

Edwin stood behind the two-wheeled Hanson carriage and pulled the reins.

After the carriage stopped steadily, Edwin, who was wearing a cowhide coat, jumped out and immediately smiled and said hello when he saw Arthur standing at the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kratos."

Then, two large boxes and a basket were taken out from the carriage.

The basket was still warm in his hand. Even though it was blocked, Arthur knew from the strong sweet and milky aroma that it contained egg tarts, puff pastry cakes and cream cakes.

"Thank you Ms. Mary."

After Arthur took the basket, the corners of his mouth turned up.

Who can say no to delicious sweets?

Not even with diabetes!

Edwin, who had a tired look on his face, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Arthur smiling when facing the food.

"The owner asked Mary to work overtime to make this. Mary's craftsmanship will never disappoint - especially the egg tarts!"

As Malinda's coachman spoke, he handed the two boxes to Arthur.

"This is what you deserve."

Edwin lowered his voice.

"Thank you Edwin, and thank you Malinda for keeping your promise... No, you should have fulfilled your promise in advance - do you need to come in for a cup of tea?"

Arthur expressed his appreciation for Malinda completing the agreement ahead of schedule.

At the same time, some habits in his hometown also made it impossible for Arthur to calmly ask an acquaintance who was helping him to deliver things to stand at the door.

"No, Mr. Kratos."

"You know, there are too many things that I need to deal with. Can I leave them in the corridor for you?"

Edwin rejected Arthur apologetically.

It's not a shirk. The unconcealed fatigue on Edwin's face and the residual smell of blood on his body told Arthur that the matter was not over yet, and the lady was still taking action.

However, these have nothing to do with him for the time being.

His part of the matter was over.

Even if he knew that the lady's actions later were the real benefit of this incident, he would not be moved at all.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

It’s not that I don’t dare.

Yes, no.

If he participates in his current situation, he will only die without a place to die!

‘Strength! strength! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, hugged the two boxes, one large and one small, tightly, watched the coachman drive away, and then returned to No. 2 Kirk Street.

When the door closed, Arthur did not wait to open the box.

But think about it lightly——

"Ei a!"

With the appearance of two [Hands of Nothingness], Arthur immediately retreated to the limit of 6 meters. Then, holding the long sword with two hands of nothingness, he opened two boxes with the tip of the long sword.

Snapped!

Both boxes were opened.

The large box contained a scroll and two books.

It was obviously the secret technique and mystical side knowledge that Malinda promised.

The contents of the small box were beyond Arthur's expectation. It turned out to be a pipe, a long billiard pipe of the same style as Malinda.

It was obvious that Malinda was still thinking about his refusal to share a pipe.

Of course, the woman remembered his sweet tooth.

“How thoughtful!”

Arthur said these words, and then controlled the [Hand of Nothingness] to pick up the basket containing pastries and put it into the kitchen.

He did not eat these pastries, but after putting down the basket, he broke off a little bit of each pastry and used [Hand of Nothingness] to scatter them in a corner outside the courtyard.

According to the memory of the predecessor, rats were often infested there.

It's not that he doesn't believe Malinda, it's just that he thinks it's better to be careful.

Just like next, he still picked up the pipe with [Hand of Nothingness] and rinsed it a dozen times, and checked that there were no poisonous insects such as centipedes or spiders hidden in the pipe before placing it on the desk in the medium's hall.

When all this was done, Arthur sat behind the desk. He first took out a pair of gloves from the drawer under the desk. After putting them on neatly, he followed his initial instinct and raised his hand to put two books and a scroll away from him. The furthest book was picked up.

The next moment he flipped through the pages——

[Discovering Picture Complex Language (Basic), Determining...]

[Having spirituality, the judgment passed! 】

[Do you want to spend 10 XP points to learn Tufuyu (basic)? 】

…

‘It turned out to be [Pifuyu]! ’

Looking at the words in front of him, Arthur's lips curled up.

When he saw the annotation about Tufu language in [Hand of Nothingness], Arthur knew that if he wanted to truly understand the mysterious side, he must understand this language.

Arthur even guessed that [Pifuyu] should be a text exclusive to the mysterious side.

Arthur glanced at the earlier prompt——

[Murder in the Lady's Salon of the Long Night shocked the people of South Los Angeles; XP + 20]

[Coaster, Edmund was avenged by evil spirits, shocking the people of Nanlos; XP + 20]

[More people have heard your name; XP+3]

…

Unexpected continuous gains, coupled with the remaining 13 XP points, Arthur now has 56 XP points, which can be said to be unprecedentedly wealthy. Under such a premise, there is no need to hesitate.

But just when Arthur was about to study, he suddenly stopped.

He frowned and tapped his fingers on the desk.

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Arthur whispered to himself, his eyes slightly narrowed.
