They all call me master.

Chapter 721 Union

Chapter 721: Alliance V

The sun rises as usual and life goes on.

Even the thrilling port of Dordot is no exception.

Of course, some changes are inevitable.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Cultists attacked the port of Dordot, and the dock area suffered heavy damage!"

"The Nanlos medium helped, and the Marquis is grateful!"

"It is reported that the cultists' weapons and explosives were provided by the dock area tax collector Berez!"

……

News, true or false, began to spread through the shouts of newsboys.

Like Count Nanlos's special force, there is also such a force in West Berlin, but the commotion yesterday was too loud.

It is so big that it cannot be completely covered up.

Therefore, we can only 'make a big deal out of a small matter' and characterize the entire incident as quickly as possible.

then?

The natural thing is to end the whole incident in a 'happy way'.

It just so happens that there are too many people who can take the blame for last night's incident.

Not only cultists, but also officials from West Berlin.

The latter, in particular, is more in line with the speculation of civilians in West Berlin.

"Damn guy!"

"Do these guys even want to sacrifice their lives for money?"

In order to completely divert everyone's attention, at noon, a local newspaper in West Berlin published a supplement containing an investigation into the property of the dock area tax officer Berez.

When the huge sum of 30000 gold coins was found in the other party's home, the entire port of Dordot was filled with curses against the dead tax collector.

"Die well!"

"If this guy hadn't been killed by that guy from Chet, I would have killed him too!"

"Good job Chet!"

Opposite to Berez is the young man Chet.

The man who killed Beretz was regarded as a hero by everyone in the port of Dordot, and several chambers of commerce jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, hoping that the honorable and benevolent lord would not punish the young man.

The Marquis of West Berlin naturally responded readily.

Not only did he immediately release Chet, who had been detained that morning, but he also appointed Chet as the new dock area tax officer.

“I believe that Chet’s integrity will make our dock more prosperous, and his bravery will better protect every civilian on the dock.

Maybe, his professional knowledge is not enough, but I believe he can learn.

So let’s wait and see!”

The high-sounding words brought tears to Chet's eyes.

"I will protect this honor with my life!"

Chet swore.

And, head to the dock area immediately.

The young man can't wait to get involved in the redevelopment of the dockland area.

Meanwhile, the young man went on and on about the kindness of the West Berlin Marquis.

And this is exactly what the Marquis wants.

After everything settled down, what the Marquis wanted was reputation. Only a good reputation could enable him to better rule the entire West Berlin Territory.

only……

Even if the Marquis does as well as before.

But the effect is still average.

Because someone did it better.

“The entourage of that lady Caesar kept telling us about the cleverness and quick response of the Nanlos medium in bars, restaurants, and hotels.

Moreover, the story told is fascinating.

Now everyone in Dordot Port is talking about this psychic master."

Gergis reported truthfully.

The captain of the marquis's guard spoke as he measured his own marquis's expression.

Gergis breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was nothing wrong with his Marquis.

After all, he had heard the story.

It was really beautiful to listen to, and he couldn't help but applaud during the exciting parts.

Faced with such a complete and exciting story, Gergis is self-aware.

It is really impossible to ask him to make up a similar story.

Fortunately, the Marquis had no such order.

Moreover, a smile appeared on his face.

“Sir Kratos is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.

Spread the news to the outside world, just say -

Sir Arthur Kratos is an indispensable and close friend of the West Berlin Family!"

So said the Marquis of West Berlin.

Although the Marquis felt very distressed when he paid 40% of the profits of the Port of Dordot, he immediately felt relieved when he heard the news.

It was obvious that Arthur was attracting the attention of the old lion in the inner bay and the surrounding jackals.

As for why?
Of course, it is to buy him time to recover.

The Marquis believed that his performance was enough to convince the Nanlos medium that he was seriously injured and needed time to recuperate. In order to better deal with the subsequent attacks, the Nanlos medium had to stand up during this period.

But in fact?
His injuries were not as serious as imagined.

For ordinary people, a sword piercing the heart would mean certain death, not to mention that there was poison and curse on the blade.

But that's just ordinary people.

He was the Marquis of West Berlin.

A true 'climber'.

The heart was just pierced by an ordinary sharp blade, not crushed.

This minor injury is not enough to stop a "Climber".

And that poison, that curse?
For the wealthy West Berlin family, it really was nothing.

In fact, by this moment, his injuries had already recovered almost completely.

Otherwise, how could he summon Gergis?
Even with the existence of the 'Lionheart Gift', he can trust Gergis, but what about people other than Gergis?

To know--

The more loyal a person is, the easier it is for him to be exploited.

This is a truth known to many nobles.

The Marquis of West Berlin did not want to be used in this way.

and so……

'Caution is the key to victory.'

The Marquis of West Berlin thought so in his heart, and then he thought of his other loyal subordinate: Sweet.

The Marquis of West Berlin's face darkened when he thought about the death of his swordsman, whom he had spent countless resources and time to train.

"Miller."

the West Berlin Marquis called out softly.

"exist."

The Chief Huntsman stepped out from the shadows.

"How was Sweet killed?"

inquired the West Berlin Marquis.

Although Sweet died, the Marquis of West Berlin could not accept this result.

At the very least, the Marquis needs to understand how Sweet died.

"Sweet was killed by his own sword energy."

Miller spoke of his findings.

Suddenly, the Marquis of West Berlin, Gergis, narrowed his eyes.

Especially Gergis, his face was full of disbelief.

However, as the captain of the guard of the Marquis of West Berlin, no matter how surprised and curious he was, this knight who believed in ancient etiquette would not interrupt, but waited for the Marquis of West Berlin to speak.

But to the captain of the guard's surprise, his lord the Marquis did not ask any questions but sneered.

'Are you so cautious?
He refused to even show up in the true sense!

snort!'

The Marquis of West Berlin already knew who killed Sweet.

The eldest son of the old lion!

All places were paying close attention to the first-in-line heir of the old lion, and the Marquis of West Berlin was no exception. In order to get to know him better, the Marquis even obtained some information from extremely secret channels at a great cost.

It was precisely because of this information that the West Berlin Marquis made a real judgment:

'Using your own son as a pawn, it seems like you are trying to stir up trouble, but in fact you are testing them with me!
snort!
You could have killed me, but you let me go...

You don't think I don't know your true strength, do you?
How could you be so weak!

I won't be fooled!'

Thinking of this, the Marquis of West Berlin clenched his fists.

They are important!

That one is more important!
That concerns his daughter!
But now...

After years of planning, it was all lost in one day.

'Damn you old lion!'

The Marquis of West Berlin immediately gritted his teeth.

Miller on the side suddenly looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"what happened?"

The Marquis of West Berlin looked at his chief hunter with curiosity.

He knew very well that his chief hunter was not such an indecisive person.
