They all call me master

In the field of vision that only Arthur could see, [Death Intuition] flickered like a small light bulb.

Also flashing was [Bluff] upgraded to Level 3.

Arthur's face was normal, his heartbeat was steady, his muscles were in the same state as before, and his eyes were full of surprise.

It seemed as if he was really surprised by the size of this oak tree.

Even as far as he could see, the strong branches of the oak tree danced like seaweed in the water.

He was just surprised at how big the tree was.

besides--

“So this is what golden acorns look like!”

Arthur looked at the golden fruits.

The appearance is not much different from the usual acorn, but the skin is golden.

"Yes, this is the Golden Acorn!"

The old housekeeper nodded with pride.

Then, the old butler saw Arthur standing there blankly, head held high, staring at the golden oak tree and golden acorns, with an inexplicable throbbing in his eyes - his eyes seemed to be sighing for the whole golden tree. The history of the oak tree seems to praise the glory of the Doyle family.

After a full four or five seconds, Arthur finally looked back at Vonter.

At this time, Arthur's face was solemn.

"What's wrong?"

The young rich man, who was still thinking about how to communicate normally with Ms. Anna, was startled by the seriousness on Arthur's face.

"Although we are all the heirs of the Oak Manor, you are the blood of the old lord, so - you must be the one to pick the golden acorns for the first time!

This is your right!

It is also an honor to be of the blood of the old Lord! "

Arthur said seriously.

These words almost made the old housekeeper cry with excitement.

He never thought that Master Arthur would still remember honor in the face of such wealth.

Taking a deep breath, the old butler saluted Arthur respectfully.

The difference from before is that this time it is an extremely formal ninety-degree bow.

"Master Arthur, your character is extremely brilliant even in the Silver Age. It is great to have an heir like you at Oak Manor!"

The old housekeeper's voice was choked with sobs.

For the old butler who believed in blood and honor all his life, nothing could penetrate deeper into his heart than Arthur's words.

When the old butler straightened up again, he stared at Fonter with bright eyes.

The young rich man who was watched like this felt very stressed and walked towards the golden oak tree without saying a word. Although the golden oak tree was big, it was not very high, and its branches were curved, making it very easy to climb up. The acorns you picked could also be stored directly. into the coat pocket.

Arthur and the old butler looked side by side at Fontel who was picking acorns.

"Maybe this is part of the inheritance?"

Arthur said softly.

The old butler nodded silently - in the old butler's eyes, following Arthur's words, he seemed to see what the old lord looked like when he first picked the golden acorns.

Yes, this is also inheritance!

The old butler had a hint of sadness on his face, but it was immediately replaced by a smile - he looked at Fontel who was picking golden acorns, and then at Arthur beside him.

The Doyle family will not decline!

It can even go one step further!

Thinking of the grand occasion of the Doyle family at that time, the old butler's breathing became rapid.

Arthur heard the old butler's rapid breathing, but he didn't say anything. He pretended to be like the old butler, standing under the golden oak tree, watching Vonter picking golden acorns, and thinking about the future.

And the sound in his ears did not stop——

"Young warrior, do you want to gain power?"

"Young warrior, I know a lady of unparalleled beauty!"

"Young warrior, I also know a lady who is as rich as a country!"

…

Arthur remained deaf.

About half an hour later, Fontel jumped off the tree after picking 10 golden acorns.

There are still many golden acorns on the golden oak tree.

But the remaining ones are quite laborious to pick. If you don’t have tools, you will have to fall down if you are not careful. The old lord just died. If the heir falls again, it will not be a good sign. Those talkative guys We will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Maybe there will be a whole rumor that the 'Doyle family' is a 'cursed family'.

Therefore, the old housekeeper called back Fonter.

Arthur didn't object.

10 golden acorns were enough for him.

The ritual of [Cat Orange] only requires one.

[Colodi Holy Wood Shield], three are needed.

So, enough is enough.

As for letting him pick it?

Arthur would never approach this golden oak tree that seemed to be a threat of death.

After that, the three of them walked towards the manor under the leadership of the old butler.

The whole journey was uneventful.

At least, that's how it seemed to the old butler and Fonter.

As for Arthur?

[Death Intuition] flickered more than twice as fast.

But in the end, nothing happened.

‘Have you restrained yourself? ’

‘No, no no! ’

‘It should be a restriction! ’

Arthur, who had returned to the front half of the manor and walked towards the small hall on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief - he could not imagine what would happen if he really responded to the golden oak tree and broke such restrictions!

Most likely for tree fertilizer, right?

Or even worse, you can't help yourself.

During the three days of communication with Albers, the young detective said more than once about the "weirdness in the mysterious side" and that he liked the body of the "gifted person" very much.

He has an extremely perverted possessiveness - tearing it into pieces or swallowing it is not enough, he must replace it and possess and devour everything related to the original owner before he can give up.

In fact, the rumored first birth of the 'Transformer' was the child of 'Weird' and the original owner's wife.

No one knows why the 'weird' one didn't swallow the original owner's wife, or maybe it's just a story passed down from rumor to legend.

But in the 'mysterious side' it is clearly recorded that the first 'morphling' was indeed the child of a human woman - in the year 109 of the Silver Age, Mount Freyr, it was recorded by 'Sir Lotta', and this 'morphing monster' He also has the human name 'Lota'.

It is also recorded that the 'morphling' can acquire the appearance of a human by shedding its skin by touching the forehead of a human, and inherits memories. It also has super intuition, is not afraid of any weapons except silverware, and can appear in the mirror , the eyes will flash white light.

Although the emergence of 'morphlings' aroused great enthusiasm for research among mysterious people in the Silver Age, Arthur definitely did not want to be studied himself.

Especially when he turns into a tree man or spits out spores.

‘What a dangerous mysterious side! ’

Arthur sat on the sofa and picked up Pendragon.

The soft touch of the cat completely relaxed Arthur, allowing him to temporarily put aside his speculations about the golden oak tree. In Gram's diary and Albers's exchanges, Arthur had never seen or heard of this kind of oak tree. Condition.

The unknown always makes Arthur extremely wary.

He had decided not to go near the golden oak tree again, not even to the second half of the manor, until he figured out what was going on.

Therefore, he needs a reliable laborer to obtain the golden acorns——

"Hey, give me five?"

Fontel, who was sitting opposite and was greeting Ms. Anna, was stunned.

“According to our agreement—one half for each person!”

Arthur put the five golden acorns into a special box brought by the old butler, and pushed the remaining five golden acorns in front of Fonter.

Such an action made the old butler once again appreciate Arthur's noble character.

"Your contract spirit is in line with the perfect nobleman!"

"I just...huh?"

While replying subconsciously, Arthur suddenly saw something from the corner of his eye, which made him pause.

But then, joy appeared in Arthur's eyes.
