They all call me master.

Chapter 852: Mystical Ship

With a declaration of war, the whole place fell silent.

The entire Suk Street became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All the soldiers were stunned.

They looked at each other.

Go to war with Neiwan?
That’s the inner bay of the Golden Lion family!

Do they have any chance of winning?

All the soldiers could see the uneasiness on each other's faces, but as soldiers loyal to the Beth family, they could not say anything against it.

More importantly, if they oppose at this moment, they will most likely be killed as a sacrifice.

The soldiers, who had just charged and were covered in blood, fell into silence.

Count Bette narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, the earl found that he seemed to have been out of the soldiers' sight for too long, so long that these soldiers had completely forgotten his temper.

Just as the earl was about to remind the soldiers in front of him——

"Declare war!"

A declaration of war rang out from the crowd.

Then, there were several more sounds.

"Declare war! Declare war!"

Each sound comes from a different place, but they all come from one person.

Arthur!

Using [Noise Magic], Arthur spread his voice.

The extraordinary [Bluff] made the voice full of excitement.

Almost instantly, some soldiers were incited.

"Declare war! Declare war!"

The soldiers roared.

People are all blindly obedient.

Just like dominoes, when the first domino falls, a chain reaction will occur.

Just a few seconds later, the entire Suk Street was filled with the sound of "declaration of war".

Count Bert strikes while the iron is hot—

"Go and inform Beth's fleet. I want to see them gather at the harbor before sunrise!

Notify the territorial lords under your command and ask them to send out troops!

Three days later, I want to see them appear in Longdohat Harbor!"

"Yes, Lord Earl!"

DePro, Dilivan, and Page's deputies responded in unison.

Afterwards, some people cleaned up the battlefield, some went to the port, and the rest rode out of the port of Longdohat and headed towards other towns in the Beth Territory.

But it was the Falcon that was faster.

As for the communication crystal?

In some places, yes.

However, most areas do not have it.

The only way to get there is by horseback riding, pigeons or falcons.

After all this was done, an oak carriage pulled by four superior horses slowly came onto the street - this carriage was not a new-style draw carriage, but a 'Charter carriage' that flourished in the 'Silver Age'. Its workmanship was complicated and expensive, far exceeding that of a draw carriage. Often the cost of a carriage was the price of a villa, and therefore it was welcomed by the 'real aristocrats'.

The driver cracked his whip.

Snapped!
After a crisp sound, the carriage went straight to Count Bet's residence.

Now that war has been declared on Neiwan, it is naturally impossible to return to the suburban manor.

A team of soldiers followed behind in unison.

Excitement was on every soldier's face.

War is dangerous.

But there are opportunities in war.

Especially for soldiers like them, it is the best opportunity to turn things around.

When ambition overwhelms anxiety, everything becomes different.

What's more, they have Count Bet!

He is as great a figure as the old lion!

At least, that's what these soldiers think!
However, what these soldiers didn't know was that the great man in their hearts was kneeling on one knee in the carriage to salute -

"My lord, your orders have been fulfilled."

Count Bert bowed his head respectfully.

Arthur admired the spaciousness and comfort of the 'Charter Carriage' and said this after adjusting his sitting position to the most comfortable one.

"Well done." After saying that, Arthur threw out seven contracts.

"Sign it."

Count Bet looked at the seven contracts that looked like indentures, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Not because of the contract.

In fact, the Earl did not object to signing the contract.

As soon as Arthur got "Hallward's Masterpiece" in his hands, the Earl chose to surrender directly, and he was convinced.

Count Bette would never make the choice of "losing your life if you don't accept it".

But aren’t seven contracts a bit too many?

This is too cautious.

Count Bet said this in his heart, but he quickly signed his name on the seven contracts.

Then, the earl asked very actively:

"My Lord, what's our next step?"

“According to the plan, head towards the inner bay.

I will contact you if anything happens.”

Arthur said as he carefully examined the seven contracts.

It is true that with [Hallward's Masterpiece] in hand, Arthur has grasped Earl Bert's lifeline, but ever since he came into contact with the special item [Door of Thieves], Arthur can no longer ensure that [Hallward's Masterpiece] alone can guarantee Earl Bert's loyalty.

Who knows if Count Bet has a backup plan?

Therefore, a contract is needed to support it.

This is a good thing for both him and the other party.

After all, he won't have any more time to deal with the other party next.

Looking at Arthur's cautious look, Count Bet couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that it would probably be better not to try his little tricks.

Otherwise, it will only backfire.

"very good!
Keep your current state of mind!"

After Arthur put away the seven contracts, he nodded to Earl Bet with words.

Afterwards, without paying any attention to Earl Bet's slightly changed expression, Arthur disappeared in a flash, leaving Earl Bet in the carriage with a frown on his brow and a troubled look on his face.

'Too careless! '

Count Bet was quite surprised that his inner thoughts were seen through.

He hadn't expected Arthur's gaze to be so sharp.

Or……

He is slow.

Because of 'immortality', he became too slow.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to discover it now.

He still has a chance.

There is an opportunity to change this sluggishness.

There is a greater chance to make up for the 'little mistake' just now.

He firmly believed that his own value would make Arthur forgive him.

As long as he doesn't make this mistake again in the future, he will definitely become Arthur's most capable subordinate.

And now?
The earl suddenly thought of something.

'If this is accomplished...

Not only can I make up for the small mistake I just made, but I can also gain more appreciation from the adults, right? '

Thinking of this, the Earl raised the corner of his mouth and tapped the carriage barrier, signaling the coachman to speed up.

And Arthur, who was walking away, just as Earl Bet guessed, did not take this matter "to heart" - for Arthur, Earl Bet's value allowed him to allow the other party to make some "mistakes" that did not really happen.

As for what really happened?
Then he was going to try to use his extraordinary power to leave a mark on [Hallward's Masterpiece], and see what would happen to Count Bet.

Of course, none of that happened.

Everything is fine.

And now?
Arthur stood on the shore and took out the [Key].

Start with silent recitation in your heart.

next moment--

Arthur's 'Psychic' broke through the surface of the river and appeared directly.

Along with it comes a text introduction.

After a careful inspection, Arthur's eyes suddenly lit up.
