They all call me master.

Chapter 869: Pretender IV

Facing the kitchen knife on his neck and the sinister voice behind him, Dilback's muscles tensed instantly.

However, this former hidden man of the old lion did not resist.

Instead, he said in a very sincere tone:

“Is that Ms. Anna?
I have no ill intentions.

My name is Deerback. I used to be a reporter and editor-in-chief of the South Los Moon Newspaper. Of course, I have another identity.

Whatever the case, I have no intention of harming Lord Arthur."

As one of the 'Seven Golden Bearded Consultants', Dilbak naturally has his own opinion on where the kitchen knife came from.

In fact, since receiving the order from the old lion, Deerback has conducted an in-depth investigation of Arthur.

The more he investigated Arthur, the more Dilback admired his talent and ability.

To become an 'entrant' at such an age, I wouldn't say it's rare, but it's one in a million.

As for ability?

The step-by-step planning was really extremely sophisticated. It seemed to be useless, but it brought everything together at the last moment and became an absolute help to himself.

Even he couldn't do it.

He is indeed the person predicted!
As expected, he is the heir chosen by His Highness!
More than once, Dilbak thought so.

Dilbak believed in the prophecy, just as he believed in the old lion - he firmly believed that the old lion was wholeheartedly dedicated to the honor and inheritance of the Golden Lion family.

Therefore, he who seems to be 'incompetent' was appointed as 'one of the seven golden-bearded consultants'.

He was deeply moved by this selflessness.

Especially after he confessed his true "talent", his highness did not make any more arrangements for him and still let him maintain his current status.

It was at that moment that I swore my true loyalty to His Highness.

This is what it's like to work diligently in South Los for so many years.

Now, following closely behind Arthur, the same is true.

Even when his highness asked him to do his utmost to protect Arthur, he had already regarded this order as a continuation of his loyalty, and because of the prophecy, he regarded it as fate's arrangement for him.

Therefore, he couldn't let Arthur go to the inner bay.

He must faithfully carry out His Highness' orders.

"Lord Arthur?"

Ms. Anna was a little confused.

“I can explain it to you in detail later. Is Lord Arthur here?
I have an urgent matter to report to Lord Arthur!"

Deerback said so.

A doubt flashed through Ms. Anna's mind.

Ms. Anna, a special product, will not listen to strangers.

However, Pendragon is different.

Pendragon, who had a "telepathic connection" with Arthur, began to contact Arthur the moment Dilback appeared. Pendragon's "cat intuition" told it that this guy in front of it, who looked unremarkable, was not easy to deal with, so it hoped that its master could stand behind it.

Of course it would be even better if we could get those two birds and two dogs back.

Unfortunately, its owner did not let its friend come back, but only gave it an answer that it could be contacted.

Pendragon was very dissatisfied with this.

But still, a mouth—

Snapped!
A communication crystal wrapped in tanned cowhide and covered with mucus appeared on the deck.

The kitten skillfully opened the tanned cowhide and brought the communication crystal to Ms. Anna.

Ms. Anna patted the top of the kitten's head.

“Good girl.

Did Arthur agree?"

As he spoke, he hooked his finger and the communication crystal floated into the air.

However, Ms. Anna did not choose to connect to the communication crystal here.

"plz follow me."

With Arthur's approval, Ms. Anna treated Dilbak much more politely.

"Ok."

Dilbak nodded immediately.

Top cabin, the communication crystal is connected——

"Dilbach?"

Arthur's voice rang out from the communication crystal.

"It is I, my Lord. Your faithful servant, reporting to you for the first time.

Please excuse my rude manner.

Please don't be confused.

All of this was arranged by His Highness."

Dilbak knelt on one knee in front of the communication crystal and spoke with great respect.

The hidden player no longer hid the old lion, but called him "Your Highness".

He believed that Arthur would understand who His Highness was referring to.

After all, there is only one person in Nanjun who can be called His Highness.

Old lion!
"Your Highness?
Severus Hamlet?"

Arthur's voice was full of surprise, and he even used the full name to confirm.

"Yes, my lord.

It was His Highness who asked me to do my best to protect you."

Dilbak's tone became anxious.

His qualities as a hidden agent were enough for Dilbak to confirm that Arthur was not on the "Orient" now. He might be somewhere else, or on the way to the inner bay.

If it's the former, that's fine.

But if it's the latter, that would be bad.

Thinking of this, the hidden player immediately said:

"Please do not go to the inner bay. Something is wrong there!"

Something's wrong?
The worst thing is you!

Arthur, who was sitting on the 'Psychic', began to rub his brows.

When Dilback appeared, he guessed a lot, but the only thing he didn't guess was this.

The old lion sent someone to protect him?

Are you kidding me?
If the old lion sent someone to assassinate him, he would believe it!

Dilback was the first to notice Arthur's hesitation.

The hidden player immediately said:

“When the lion grows wings, it’s time for the new king to ascend the throne!

This is the prophecy circulating within the Golden Lion Family!

And you...

It is the Son of Prophecy!"

Meow meow meow?!

Arthur hadn't reacted yet when he heard these words, but Pendragon beside him couldn't help but shout.

The kitten's face was full of disbelief, and it almost covered its mouth.

Ms. Anna also looked surprised.

Obviously, the fact that Arthur was the prophesied son of the Golden Lion family was far beyond their imagination.

Arthur did not deliberately conceal some irrelevant things related to this matter, so Pendragon and Ms. Anna knew about it.

However, compared with the so-called Son of Prophecy, those things really become insignificant trifles!
Pendragon complained in his heart.

It knows its owner can hear it.

Ms. Anna thought more deeply.

If Arthur is really the prophesied son of the Golden Lion family, it is really not a wise move to go to Neiwan now.

"The Child of Prophecy?"

Arthur whispered to himself.

The sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present through the communication crystal.

"Don't you believe it?
I can prove it to you!
I can even swear!

It's fine to sign a contract, I can prove that everything I said was not a lie to you!"

Dilbach obviously misunderstood something and immediately added.

This supplement made Arthur rub his brows with even more force.

He said in a tone that was almost like a groan -

"But I've already reached the inner bay."
