They all call me master.

Chapter 854: Alliance II

Arthur couldn't help but smile when he heard Earl Nanros's promise.

It's not sarcasm.

It's the kind of 'windfall'.

Arthur unconsciously took a look at the XP prompt that appeared this morning -

[The publicity about you by local newspapers in South Los Territory, West Berlin Territory, and Einhard Territory has begun to form a chain reaction. More civilians, wealthy businessmen, and nobles who have never heard of your name have come to know you, and many of them have begun to recognize you; XP +2000]

[With the departure of the Red Knight and his men, your influence among the pirates spreads among them, and more pirates begin to fear you; XP+2000]

[But now that you have a small parish, the 'Inland River Church''s enthusiasm for you has reached its peak, and they regard you as a miracle; XP + 10000]

[The fermentation in West Berlin continues, and the residents of West Berlin are still grateful to you; XP+5000]

[With the help of some people, your name has gradually become synonymous with 'disaster'; XP +2000]

[More people in Nanjun have heard your name: XP +1000]

……

XP's revenue is still considerable.

But it is still a little short of the ultimate threshold of 'Seventeenth Level'.

Moreover, just one day later, the residents of West Berlin's gratitude towards him changed from "growing day by day" to "still grateful".

The XP gained dropped rapidly from 8000 points to 5000 points.

This made Arthur sigh at people's forgetfulness of favors.

On the contrary, it was the XP under 'fear' and 'faith' that made Arthur more concerned. Considering the performance of those river pirates and the 'Inland River Church', Arthur was ready to dig deeper.

Of course, that was later.

Now?

He needs to remind the people of South Los.

The report given by Count Nanlos came at the right time.

As for the promotion of title and territory?
Arthur didn't care much about the former.

To Arthur, that was just empty reputation.

On the contrary, Arthur liked the land very much.

Arthur, who has a certain bloodline, has an innate attachment to the land - he really wants to try to sow seeds in the soil, and then get the joy of a good harvest in the fall.

He didn't have such an opportunity before.

Now that he had it, Arthur had already begun to imagine the scene in his mind.

Of course, there will inevitably be some blind guys who will jump out.

But as a young, honest, simple and kind psychic who has always loved peace, he would definitely not do anything excessive.

He would just plant those things that were hindering his farming into the fields.

At worst, the families of those guys can be brought along as well.

After all, Arthur thought he was quite good at dealing with people.

These guys have a complete family structure, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. It's simply the best of both worlds.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Arthur's lips.

Although separated by a communication crystal, Countess Nanros seemed to sense Arthur's joy.

Immediately, the short legs began to shake faster.

For the countess, Arthur's performance made her feel very satisfied.

See, she is also a good lord who rewards and punishes clearly, isn't she?

Thinking in her heart, the countess could no longer bear it.

"Arthur, what's the better news you just mentioned?"

"Count Bert personally killed the 'little lion' Gresa Hamlet!"

Arthur didn't hide it anymore.

This news is closely related to the previous news.

Knowing the previous news, I naturally know this as well.

This is no longer just a coincidence.

It's completely one.

But how could Arthur, an 'outsider', know this?
He is just a person who works hard to collect information.

After discovering that Count Bet had declared war on Neiwan, he immediately began to look for the reason for the declaration of war, and then found out that Count Bet had killed the "Little Lion" Gresa Hamlet.

"real?!"

This time, Countess Nanlos jumped off the chair directly, her eyes widened. The Countess really couldn't hide her surprise.

Count Bet's declaration of war on Neiwan and Count Bet's declaration of war on Neiwan after killing the "little lion" Gresa Hamlet are two different concepts.

The former, with the "aristocratic rules" in place, still has room for redemption.

And the latter?
That is the everlasting hatred.

Especially under the premise that the old lion appeared in South Los, the latter's appearance made the countess feel relieved.

declare war!

Declare war on Neiwan immediately!
then……

Watch the old lion!
The tigress believed that the old lion would reveal his flaws and even be affected in his spirituality when faced with the death of his eldest son, the first heir!
And when that time comes, it will be her chance.

Of course, it has to be true!
Faced with this seemingly fake good news, Countess Nanros anxiously waited for Arthur's answer.

"Of course, my Lord.

I think the word will get around pretty quickly.

I hope you can prepare early.”

Arthur assured the countess.

"Great!"

Countess Nanlos cheered and jumped up and down. She was so happy that she completely forgot about her subordinates around her.

It was not until he was halfway through jumping that he noticed the other people in the study.

Immediately, the countess coughed several times.

Then, he jumped onto the stool without leaving any trace, and said in a serious tone:

“Arthur, is this the opportunity you mentioned before to resolve the South Los crisis, and possibly even kill the old lion?
Very good, you did a great job!
Our deal..."

"and many more!"

Just as Countess Nanros was about to say 'deal done', Arthur spoke directly.

"Ok?"

The puzzled Countess of Nanlos uttered a single sound.

"My Lord, have you misunderstood something?
How can such a small matter solve the crisis in South Los?

As for killing the old lion?
Where did you start talking about this?"

Faced with Arthur's series of questions, Countess Nanros was a little dazed, even a little at a loss. She stared at the communication crystal in front of her and asked dryly.

"That is?"

"Please wait for good news."

With that, Arthur ended the communication.

The young Nanlos psychic could already imagine the tigress continuing to grit her teeth after she came to her senses.

But this is what he needs.

Arthur knew exactly how to deal with this tigress who had never truly grown up.

Especially when he wanted to gain enough benefits from the other party, Arthur could think of three feasible plans and twelve alternative plans in a blink of an eye.

After putting away the communication crystal, Arthur took out the [Key].

"Yang Fan!"

Arthur first shouted from the bow, and then jumped onto the watchtower.

"Yang Fan!"

Another call was sounded, and Arthur walked to the rudder, waved his hat, and then put his hand on the rudder and said in a more steady voice:

"set sail!"

When there are no outsiders around, the free Arthur plays many roles.

Without Pendragon around, he was relieving himself in his own way.

And far away in the secret room of the Earl's mansion in South Los, the tigress who was feared by everyone stared at the communication crystal and puffed up her cheeks.

The plump Countess of Nanlos pursed her lips.

At the ends of the hair, strands of electric sparks flickered.

Swish, swish.

Amid the unique sound of electricity, Lady Susan came closer.

"My Lord, what do you think of Arthur?"
