They all call me master.

Chapter 41 Hand of Nothingness!

Arthur found a piece of paper in the lining pocket of Gram's waistcoat.

The paper was slightly yellowed and the corners were neatly cut. There were many strange words written on it that Arthur couldn't understand. However, these words were not blurred in the rain.

The age of the paper and the characteristics of the text told Arthur that this paper was extraordinary.

But he didn't reach for it immediately. Instead, he took out the handkerchief from his coat pocket.

Unable to determine whether there was poison on the paper, Arthur was very careful, shook the handkerchief, put it in his hand, and then picked up the paper.

At this moment, he could clearly see that in the gaps between these incomprehensible words, there were written common languages ​​​​that he could understand.

Both sides of the paper are filled with writing.

It also made Arthur understand what was recorded on this piece of paper.

Do not!
To be precise, this page [Herc's Notes] records a secret technique called 'Hand of Nothingness'.

Immediately, Arthur felt grateful to Gram.

No need to ask, this kind of translation of unfamiliar words was done by the other party.

If the other party hadn't translated it, he wouldn't be able to understand it now.

And being able to understand it, naturally——

[Spiritual determination in progress...]

[Spirituality has reached the lowest level, and the judgment is passed! 】

[Y/n consume 10 XP points to learn Hand of Nothingness? 】

……

The talent [All Things Eater] once again demonstrated his ability. Arthur, who had just killed Gram and gained 20XP, and the total XP reached 36, naturally did not hesitate.

[Hand of Nothingness Lv1: While traveling to the Tallinn area in the southern part of the empire, Herc discovered the original version of this secret technique from a fallen tower. The secret technique at that time was incomplete, and Herc spent considerable energy on it. After completing it and making many changes, the current secret technique was born. This secret technique is very similar to the widely circulated 'Hand of Nothingness', but it is fundamentally different; effect: based on spirituality. Basics, consume physical strength, and use pictures and words to create a void hand to serve you. 】

(Note 1: The void hand will be the same as the maker's hand, with flexible fingers, retaining part of the wrist, and will always be visible to the maker)
(Note 2: The Hand of Nothingness is invisible to others, but can be touched by others and will be damaged. When the damage limit is reached, the Hand of Nothingness disappears)
(Note 3: The current level of Void Hand can pick up items no more than 5kg, the traveling speed is like an adult walking, and the maximum distance from the maker is 3 meters)
(Note 4: After creating the Hand of Nothingness, the creator will continue to consume stamina. When the Hand of Nothingness picks up items, the stamina consumption accelerates)
(Note 5: When the Hand of Nothingness is released, the Hand of Nothingness disappears, but the lost physical strength will not be returned)
(Note 6: At this stage, you must fully recite the Tufuyu Ei a to complete the creation of the Hand of Nothingness)
……

"Herc?"

"It's actually related to Herc!"

Looking at the words in front of him, surprise appeared in Arthur's eyes, and then the synchronization of body and knowledge began.

Different from before, this time the knowledge synchronization takes a longer time.

Not only did a lot of unfamiliar knowledge appear in his mind, but also a little coolness appeared in his heart, and that little coolness wandered in his heart.

Arthur could clearly feel that the coolness carved a small palm-like shape on his heart.

Almost instinctively, he chanted——

"Ei a!"

Boom, boom!

The heart beat violently twice, and in Arthur's perception, the small palm pattern on his heart was filled with blood and lit up.

With a flick of his left hand, a glove that felt like wool but was actually transparent appeared.

The next moment, Arthur had a thought in his mind.

Immediately, the glove separated from his left hand and floated in mid-air.

Arthur looked at the 'Hand of Nothingness' he had created, with joy in his eyes.

He has seen the mysterious side more than once, but this is the first time he has used the power of the mysterious side.

Involuntarily, excitement and excitement rose from the bottom of my heart.

However, soon, Arthur frowned.

It’s not that [Hand of Nothingness] consumes too much.

In fact, the consumption of [Hand of Nothingness] at this time is only equivalent to Arthur's consumption of trotting at a constant speed - with such consumption, Arthur can run for an hour without resting.

Arthur frowned because he still had 26XP left, and [Hand of Nothingness] was upgraded to Lv2 and [Swift Bird Swordsmanship. Pseudo] was upgraded to Lv3, both of which require 20XP.

Simply put, he can only choose one.

After thinking for a while, Arthur chose [Hand of Nothingness].It's not that [Xiao Bird Swordsmanship. Pseudo] is not good, but [Hand of Nothingness] will be more helpful to his next actions.

Of course, it was also because Arthur believed that he would have a large amount of XP in his account soon.

[Consumption 20XP, Hand of Nothingness Lv1→Lv2]

[Hand of Nothingness Level 2: You have spirituality, but are extremely mediocre. You have shown to the world that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and your 'Hand of Nothingness' goes one step further; Effect: Based on spirituality, it consumes physical energy and uses pictures and words to make two Ei a Empty hands at your service. 】

(Note 1: omitted)

(Note 2: The Void Hand is invisible to others, but can be touched by others and will be damaged. When the damage limit is reached, the Void Hand disappears. When one of the two Void Hands disappears, you cannot replenish it. , you must wait until the only remaining hand of nothingness disappears before you can create another hand of nothingness)
(Note 3: The current level of Void Hand can pick up items no more than 10kg, the traveling speed is like an adult jogging, and the maximum distance from the creator is 6 meters)
(Note 4: After creating a Hand of Nothingness, the creator will continue to consume physical strength. When the Hand of Nothingness picks up an item, the physical strength consumption is accelerated. When two Hands of Nothingness are present, the physical strength consumption is doubled)
(Note 5: omitted)

(Note 6: omitted)

……

The same physical and intellectual attunement as before.

The feeling of coolness on the heart continued.

On the heart, the small, palm-like shape becomes more and more delicate, and the knuckles have been outlined from the rough shape of the palm.

"Ei a!"

Once again, unfamiliar syllables sounded from Arthur's mouth.

Boom, boom!

Just like the heart beating violently before, the palm shape is filled in.

But unlike before it only appeared on the left hand, this time it was on both hands.

[Hands of Nothingness] appeared on Arthur's hands in the form of left and right hands, then separated and floated beside Arthur.

Then, he floated to the roof according to Arthur's wish.

Arthur's umbrella, psychic box and 'Anna' are all here.

On the right, the hand of nothingness picked up the psychic box.

On the left, the empty hand holds an umbrella, and the little finger hooks 'Anna'.

As the two [Void Hands] fell, Arthur first took the umbrella, stuffed 'Anna' and a page of [Herc's Notes] into his arms, and then picked up the psychic box.

This scene happened to be seen by Maltz.

In Maltz's field of vision, he only saw Arthur raising his hand.

Then, the umbrella, 'Anna' and the box floated down and landed firmly in Arthur's hands.

The third-level police officer's pupils shrank.

His breathing became rapid.

Almost subconsciously, Maltz wanted to escape immediately.

But, immediately, he saw Arthur who turned around and smiled at him.

There is no doubt that Arthur did this on purpose.

He deepened his 'cooperative relationship' with Maltz in his own way.

only……

'Did Maltz's performance go a little too far? '

"Or did Maltz experience something similar and it left him with an indelible memory?"

Arthur was guessing in his heart, but it didn't stop him from walking to the door holding an umbrella.

"Next step?"

he asked softly.

Maltz nodded heavily and said meaningfully——

"This year's rainy season lasted one month longer than usual..."

"Leave it to me!"
