They all call me master

Chapter 925 Climbing the stairs Ⅰ

The hoarse and deep voice made the 'Constructor's' hair stand on end.

Subconsciously, this one of the 'Lions' replied.

"OK!

We...uh! "

Before he finished speaking, the sword passed through his chest and ended the conversation.

The 'Constructor's' small eyes widened.

Not a surprise attack, but——

This man not only stabbed him with a sword on his left chest, and after repairing it with a sword on his right chest, he also stabbed him with two swords on the soles of his feet.

"How do you know my heart is in the sole of my foot?"

The 'Constructor' lying on the ground was puzzled.

Arthur, wearing the [Hide Mask], smiled.

Then, a sword cut off the head of the 'Constructor'.

There was no blood spurting out, but the remaining strength caused the Constructor's head to roll to one side. This time, the Constructor finally saw Arthur's true face clearly.

"It's you!

Bette…”

Before the title of earl could be spoken, the 'Constructor' was interrupted by a bottle of kerosene.

Oil pours on face.

The 'Constructor''s mouth immediately felt a strange sour and spicy feeling, and he screamed in horror.

"etc!

I can exchange information with you!

I know something important about Your Highness! "

'Constructor' shouted.

But Arthur ignored the other party at all, lit the match directly, and gave the other party a decent cremation - what the 'Constructor' knew, Arthur also knew.

Even, I know more and more details.

As for why it is unnecessary to use Count Bet’s face?

Naturally, it was to send the wrong message to the old lion.

Or rather...

Arthur is testing.

Watching the 'Constructor' burn to ashes.

After letting the rats explore the gold mine again, Arthur just stood in the shadows and waited.

He was waiting for the old lion's reaction.

Waiting to see whether the other party will continue to stay in Nanlos or return to the inner bay.

For others, Arthur wasn't sure.

However, if the 'Blood Shadow Thorn' and the 'Constructor', who are two of the 'Lions', are both dead, the old lion will definitely know it as soon as possible - so he let Earl Bet show his face.

He wanted the old lion to mistakenly think that this was Count Bet's opportunistic raid for the gold mine.

Of course, he also increased the stakes by asking the Countess of Nanlos to challenge the old lion.

It's not like being distracted or distracted.

He just needed to make sure the old lion wasn't in the inner bay.

Only in this way can he maximize his interests——

‘So, will you come back? ’

Arthur waited, and then hid himself deeper.

At this moment, Arthur completely merged with the shadow.

The only sounds left in the mine were the digging sounds of the remaining zombie miners' machinery and the friction of the soles of their feet against the ground as they carried the mines.

Time passes minute by minute.

Soon, the night passed completely.

Arthur narrowed his eyes in the shadows.

‘How proud! ’

Arthur said silently in his heart.

Obviously, compared to unifying Nanjun, the matter in Neiwan is really nothing to this old lion.

In other words, in the eyes of the other party, as long as the Countess of Nanlos surrenders.

Then, everything will be worth it.

‘So, does Nanlos have any trump cards that the other party is afraid of? ’

Arthur touched his chin.

Arthur was never surprised that the Nanlos family had a trump card.

It would be surprising if it didn't.

‘If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite. ’

Thinking in his heart, Arthur quietly left the Lion Palace. After staying away from Kilgore Port, the [Psychic Medium] appeared on the inland river. Then Arthur took out the rudder of the [White Crow] and pressed it directly.

In the middle of a breath, there was a metallic rattling sound, and the [Psychic Number] turned into the [White Crow Number].

From the appearance, the [White Crow] is just a standard caravel sailing ship - since the emergence of 'Pirate King' Edward, the caravel sailing ship has become the favorite of offshore pirates, not only because of blind worship, but also because of The hull is light, fast, and easy to operate. It can be easily controlled with only a few hands.

And [White Crow] is even more simple to the extreme.

All it took was a thought from Arthur.

Didn't go into the captain's cabin.

Arthur just stood at the bow of the boat.

Then, the [White Crow] began to dive.

Then, start sailing in a straight line.

Neither water nor mud can stop the White Crow from moving forward.

Once again, Arthur returned to the underground of the Lion Palace.

With the help of the space of the White Crow, Arthur began to collect the pure gold left by the 'Pirate King' Edward, and he put all the pure gold into the cabin of the White Crow.

Then, Arthur began to let the White Crow continue to dive.

2,000 meters underground is not the limit of [White Crow].

It just slows down.

When it reached 5,000 meters underground, the speed of the [White Crow] had slowed to an extreme.

‘It’s ready here! ’

While Arthur was thinking, he took out the 'Cat's Nest', 'Dragon's Horn', 'Ferocious Tiger's Claw', 'Bear of the Violent Bear', and 'Dire Wolf Ear', and arranged them according to the ritual in his memory. With.

He wants to climb the steps here.

The last ritual connection was completed, and the moment Arthur took out the 'Ladder', a faint orange light emerged from the ceremony——

[The ladder to climb ‘seventeen steps’ is being judged...]

[Having the ritual ‘Orange no Big’, the judgment passed! 】

[Not owning a ‘Cat Nest’, the judgment passed! 】

[I don’t own the ‘Dragon’s Horn’, the judgment is passed! 】

[Not possessing the ‘Ferocious Tiger’s Claw’, the judgment passed! 】

[Not possessing the ‘Bear of the Violent Bear’, the judgment passed! 】

[I don’t have the ‘Dire Wolf Ears’, the judgment is passed! 】

[The ‘Grand Orange’ ritual has not reached the high level. Is using 29,000 XP points insufficient? 】

…

[The ‘Grand Orange’ ceremony is being judged...]

[Physical fitness, judgment passed! 】

[Spirituality, judgment passed! 】

[It is determined that the ‘Orange Big’ ritual can be reached to the extreme. Should I use 99,000 XP points to push it to the extreme? 】

…

Looking at the words in front of him, Arthur answered in the affirmative without hesitation——

"yes!"

Then, a faint orange light suddenly bloomed.

The color became extremely rich, like a ball of gold.

Then, Arthur's ears rang——

Meow!

This is……

Mimi's meow.

Arthur's eyes were in a trance.

He seemed to see the kitten again.

I saw the kitten jumping around next to the strong man, the tip of its tail trembling with excitement.

Seeing the kitten turning its head and narrowing its eyes, it looked at him and smiled, then turned around and chased the strong man's leaving figure.

Well, not only has the hair on my butt been trimmed, but there is no cake attached to it.

The owner is very responsible!

As a cat owner, Arthur's focus was quite different. He glanced at it almost subconsciously and commented on it.

Immediately, the strong man who was moving forward stopped.

Pfft.

He laughed, obviously unable to hold back.

Aiolia originally didn't want to pay attention.

As the founder of the 'Seventeenth Level'.

He is incomplete now.

In other words, after he punched out the new steps of the cat cave, he could no longer be whole.

Even if his old friend Herc tried his best.

He and Mimi are only what they are now.

The rest?

It takes time.

As for more bonds?

What reincarnation, what destiny.

None of it matters.

In other words, they are all fake.

He is him and Arthur is Arthur.

Mimi is Mimi, Malinda is Malinda.

Aiolia bent down and picked up Mimi, then turned to look at Arthur.

After thinking for a moment, the 'golden lion cat' felt that he should say something, so he said directly——

"Have you eaten?"

"have eaten.

A not so tasty and sumptuous dinner. "

Arthur nodded and replied.

He is him, Aiolia is Aiolia.

Malinda is Malinda and Mimi is Mimi.

Of course Arthur understands this clearly.

If he couldn't understand this truth, he wouldn't be standing here now.

Looking at Arthur's calm eyes without any embarrassment or anxiety, and looking at the clarity in those black eyes, Aiolia laughed.

"That's really bad."

After saying that, Aiolia hugged Mimi and moved on.

Mimi, who was in the strong man's arms, stuck out her head, raised her paws and waved.

Is this a farewell?

Forget it.

Arthur smiled and raised his hand, waving.

He wished both men good luck on their journey.

As for Bon Voyage?

Arthur wouldn't tell.

After all, it’s better to keep your feet on the ground.

And the wind?

I can't tell where it's blowing.

If you ride on the wind and there are high mountains ahead, you will be smashed to pieces.

It seemed that he felt Arthur's sincere blessing.

Aiolia suddenly slowed down.

However, the 'golden lion cat' did not look back, and his voice rang in Arthur's ears——

"Can you fish?"

"Yes, but not many do."

Arthur answered truthfully.

He once dreamed that after he retired, he would find a place to shoot two shots.

But before I could buy the fishing rod, it was delivered here by a dump truck.

The next story?

Everyone knows it too.

The young psychic, who is constantly running for life, is trying his best to find that little bit of security.

It really makes people cry.

"That's it.

If you have the chance, go fishing together. "

After saying that, Aiolia strode forward without stopping.

In almost two breaths, the tall figure disappeared with his cat.

The only one left was Arthur.

Then, Arthur took a deep breath——

call!

Exhale the turbid air, raise your legs and take steps.

One step makes a world of difference.

The starry sky descends, otherworldly.

The ladder descending from the sky comes with the starry sky.

A tenth level that is different from others.

Arthur's is level seventeen.

This is destined for Arthur to stand higher and see further.

At this moment, Arthur was already standing on the first level.

There is no pressure or pain as imagined.

Everything was so effortless.

Arthur was startled, then suddenly realized.

Unlike others who rely on their own cultivation, performing rituals, swallowing magic potions, etc., there are some shortcomings, and even all kinds of hidden injuries are left, so that the foundation is unstable and it is extremely difficult to climb the steps.

But he is different. He improves step by step with XP points and has a solid foundation.

final?

Naturally, it happened overnight.

This is talent!

Thinking of this, Arthur's lips curled up.

He took a step forward.

Start from the first level, to the second level, to the third level, and then to the fourth level.

It was smooth sailing all the way.

And every time he reaches a level, his [Physique] and [Spirituality] are like being baptized again, starting a new round of improvement.

Not only [Physique] and [Spirituality], but also [Talent] and [Bloodline]!

[Breath of Death] and [Death Intuition] have begun a new round of promotion.

The bloodline of [Snake of Death] has begun to transform in a real sense.

Arthur's intuition told him that as long as he stepped onto the fifth level, everything would be different.

He will become truly safe.

However, his instinct told him that if he really set foot on it, he would lose something quite important.

Arthur frowned.

He did not exploit faith.

It’s not like taking a shortcut to become level V.

Then why does he still have this intuition?

It was obvious that he had overlooked something.

Standing on the fourth level, Arthur began to search.

Almost immediately, Arthur noticed the difference.

Three wires!

Three transparent threads, which even he could not notice unless he looked carefully, were connected to his body.

‘When did it appear? ’

Surprise flashed in Arthur's eyes.

He was certain that there was absolutely no such thread on his body before.

It's in...

He intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he resisted and continued to step onto the fifth level.

‘In other words, once I step onto the fifth level, these three threads will be broken? ’

Arthur guessed.

Then, the young psychic examined the three threads more carefully.

Although the three silk threads appear transparent, their thicknesses are slightly different.

The thickest one is like a fishing line.

The thinnest one is like a spider's thread.

Moreover, when Arthur focused on the three threads, there would be some noise in his ears. It was coming from the three threads, but it was extremely far away and could not be heard at all.

Immediately, Arthur held his breath, got close to the thinnest thread, and listened.

Suddenly, his eyes changed.

Pale and lifeless.

But, it was very lively.

Light and shadow flicker.

There were constant explosions.

But with just a slight tremor in his heart, Arthur saw four fighting figures——

An old gentleman wearing a black dress, with his hair neatly styled, and a neat face was fighting with three people of different appearances.

An old man.

A middle-aged man.

A young man.

The old man has a kind face, like an elder, and is well dressed.

The middle-aged man has a simple face and a strong body, wielding a war hammer.

The first two are not important.

Arthur didn't feel anything after seeing it.

What concerned Arthur most was that young man.

There was no need to take a serious look. The moment he saw the young man, Arthur gave an evaluation of the oil-headed noodle.

Moreover, inexplicably, Arthur always felt a little unexpectedly familiar when seeing the other person.

A bit...

Like old Charlie? !

It's not just that the faces are so similar.

What's more important is temperament.

The temperament engraved in his bones is almost 80% similar to that of old Charlie.

‘Another scumbag? ’

Arthur thought, looking at the old gentleman in black dress.

Although he was surrounded by three people, the old gentleman did not lose.

No!

To be precise, he gained the upper hand.

Every wave of the crown cane will bring up invisible wind.

Wherever the wind blows, even the shadows wither.

Of course, none of this matters.

The important thing is that Arthur can clearly feel that his talent [Breath of Death] has the same origin as the other person.

Moreover, the middle-aged man with a simple face during the siege roared angrily——

"'Death', it's time for you to atone for your betrayal!"

Um? !
