They all call me master.

Chapter 925 Climbing the steps

Chapter 925: Ascending the Stairs I

The hoarse and deep voice made the Constructor's hair stand on end.

Subconsciously, one of the 'lion group' answered.

"OK!
We... ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, the long sword pierced his chest, ending the conversation.

The Constructor's tiny eyes widened.

It was not a surprise attack, but——

This man not only stabbed him once in the left chest and once in the right chest, but also stabbed him twice in the soles of his feet.

"How do you know my heart is at the bottom of my feet?"

The Constructor lying on the ground was puzzled.

Arthur, wearing the [Veiled Face], smiled.

Then, he chopped off the Constructor's head with a single sword.

There was no blood spurting out, but the remaining force caused the Constructor's head to roll to the side. This time, the Constructor finally saw Arthur's true face.

"It's you!
Bette..."

Before he could even utter the title of Earl, the Constructor was interrupted by a bottle of kerosene.

Grease poured over the face.

The Constructor immediately felt a strange, sour and spicy feeling in his mouth, and he screamed in horror.

"and many more!
I can trade information with you!

I know something important about your Highness!"

The Constructor yelled.

Arthur ignored the other party and directly lit the match, giving the other party a decent cremation - Arthur also knew what the 'Constructor' knew.

In fact, I know more and more details.

As for why we had to go to such lengths to use Count Bate's face?
Of course, this was to send the wrong message to the old lion.

Or……

Arthur is testing.

Watching the 'Constructor' burn to ashes.

After letting the rat pack explore the gold mines again, Arthur stood in the shadows and waited.

He was waiting for the old lion's reaction.

Waiting to see whether the other party will continue to stay in South Los or return to the inner bay.

As for the others, Arthur wasn't sure.

However, if Blood Shadow Thorn and Constructor, who were the second members of the Lion Group, were dead, the old lion would definitely know it at the first time - that's why he let Count Bet show up.

He wanted to make the old lion mistakenly believe that this was Count Bet's raid for the gold mine.

Of course, he was also raising the stakes by asking Countess Nanlos to challenge the Old Lion to a duel.

It's not about being completely focused or distracted.

He just needed to make sure the old lion wasn't in the inner bay.

Only in this way can he maximize his benefits——

"So, will you come back?"

Arthur waited, and then hid himself even deeper.

At this moment, Arthur completely merged with the shadow.

The only sounds left in the mine were the digging sounds of the remaining zombie miners' machinery and the friction of their feet against the ground as they carried the ore.

Time passes by every second.

Soon, the night was completely over.

Arthur narrowed his eyes in the shadows.

"How arrogant!"

Arthur said silently in his heart.

Obviously, compared with the unification of Nanjun, the affairs of Neiwan are really nothing to this old lion.

In other words, in the eyes of the other party, all they had to do was make Countess Nanlos surrender.

Then, everything is worth it.

"So, does Nanlos have any cards that might make the other party wary?"

Arthur touched his chin.

Arthur was never surprised that the Nanlos family had a trump card.

It would be surprising if not.

'If that's the case, I'm not going to be polite.'

Thinking in his heart, Arthur quietly left the Palace of Lion. After being far away from Kilger Harbor, the "Psychic" appeared on the inland river. Then Arthur took out the rudder of the "White Raven" and pressed it directly.

In the blink of an eye, with a series of metallic creaking sounds, the [Psychic] turned into the [White Crow].

From the outside, the White Raven is a standard caravel. Ever since the appearance of Edward, the "Pirate King", the caravel has become the favorite of coastal pirates. Not only is it a blind worship, but also because of its light hull, fast speed, and convenient operation. It can be easily controlled by very few people.

The White Raven is simple to the extreme.

All it takes is one thought from Arthur.

Did not go into the captain's room.

Arthur just stood at the bow.

Then, the White Raven began to dive.

Then, start sailing in a straight line.

Neither water nor mud can stop the White Crow from moving forward.

Once again, Arthur returned to the underground of the Palace of Leo.

With the help of the space of the White Crow, Arthur began to collect the pure gold left by the "Pirate King" Edward, and he put all the pure gold into the cabin of the White Crow.

Then, Arthur began to let the White Raven continue to dive.

2000 meters underground is not the limit of the White Crow.

It just slowed down.

When it reached 5000 meters underground, the speed of the White Crow had slowed to its extreme.

'This is fine!'

As Arthur thought about it, he took out the 'cat bed', 'dragon horn', 'ferocious tiger claw', 'violent bear gall', and 'dread wolf ear', and arranged them according to the ritual he remembered.

He is going to climb the stairs here.

The last ritual connection was completed. When Arthur took out the "ladder", a faint orange light emerged from the ceremony.

[The seventeenth step of the ladder is being determined...]

[Owning the ritual 'Tangerine Big', the judgment passed! 】

[Does not own a 'cat bed', passed the test! ]

[Not having the 'Dragon Horn', passed the judgment! ]

[Not having 'Tiger's Claw', passed the test! ]

[Not having the 'Bear of the Violent Bear', passed the judgment! ]

[Not having 'Ears of the Dire Wolf', passed the judgment! ]

[The 'Grand Orange' ritual has not reached the high level. Is using 29000 XP points insufficient? 】

……

[The 'Grand Orange' ceremony is being judged...]

[Physical fitness, judgment passed! 】

[Spirituality, judgment passed! 】

[It is determined that the 'Grand Orange' ritual can be reached to the extreme. Do you want to use 99000 points of XP to push it to the extreme? 】

……

Looking at the words in front of him, Arthur gave an affirmative answer without hesitation -

"Yes!"

Then, a faint orange light suddenly bloomed.

The color became extremely rich, like a ball of gold.

Then, Arthur heard——

Meow!
This is……

Mimi's cat's meow.

Arthur was in a trance.

He seemed to see the kitten again.

I saw a kitten jumping around the strong man, with the tip of its tail twitching in excitement.

He saw the kitten turn its head, narrow its eyes, look at him, smile, and then turn around and chase the strong man's departing back.

Well, not only has the hair on the butt been trimmed, but there is also no poop stuck to it.

The owner is very responsible!

As a cat owner, Arthur's focus was quite different. He gave his evaluation almost subconsciously after just one glance.

Immediately, the sturdy man who was walking forward stopped.

puff.

A laugh, clearly unable to hold back.

Aiolia originally didn't want to pay attention.

As the founder of the 'Seventeenth Order'.

He is not complete now.

In other words, once he punched out a new staircase in the cat's hole, he could no longer be whole.

Even though his old friend Hulk tried his best.

He and Mimi are only in their current state temporarily.

leftover?
needs time.

As for more bonds?
What reincarnation, what destiny.

None of it matters.

In other words, they are all fake.

He is him, and Arthur is Arthur.

Mimi is Mimi and Malinda is Malinda.

Aiolia bent down and picked up Mimi, then turned around and looked at Arthur.

After thinking for a moment, the 'golden lion cat' felt that he should say something, so he said directly -

"Have you eaten?" "Yes.

A not very tasty and not very filling dinner. ”

Arthur nodded and replied.

He is himself, Aiolia is Aiolia.

Malinda is Malinda and Mimi is Mimi.

Of course Arthur understood this clearly.

If he couldn't understand this, he wouldn't be standing here now.

Looking at Arthur's calm eyes without any embarrassment or uneasiness, and the clarity in those black eyes, Aiolia laughed.

“That’s really bad.”

After saying that, Aiolia carried Mimi in his arms and continued walking.

Mimi, who was in the strong man's arms, stuck out her head, raised her paws and waved.

Is this a farewell?

Calculated.

Arthur smiled and raised his hand, waving.

He wished the two of them a safe journey.

As for the bon voyage?
Arthur wouldn't tell.

After all, it's better to be down to earth.

And the wind?

There’s no telling where the wind will blow.

If you take off with the wind, but there are mountains and hills ahead, you will be smashed to pieces.

It seemed that he felt Arthur's sincere blessing.

Aiolia suddenly slowed down.

However, the 'golden lion cat' did not turn back, and the voice rang in Arthur's ears -

"Can you fish?"

“Yes, but not much.”

Arthur answered truthfully.

He once dreamed of finding a place to play golf after he retired.

But before I could buy the fishing rod, it was brought here by a dump truck.

What happens next?
Everyone knows about it.

The young psychic, who is constantly busy making a living, tries his best to seek that tiny bit of pitiful sense of security.

It really makes people cry.

"That's it.

If you have the chance, go fishing together.”

After saying this, Aiolia strode forward without stopping.

In just two breaths, the tall figure disappeared with his cat.

The only one left was Arthur.

Then, Arthur took a deep breath.

call!
Exhale the foul air, lift your legs and take a step.

One step forward, and a world of difference.

The starry sky descends, otherworldly.

The stairs that descended from the sky came along with the starry sky.

A tenth level different from others.

Arthur's is level seventeen.

This destined Arthur to stand higher and see farther.

At this moment, Arthur was already standing on the first step.

There is no pressure or pain as imagined.

Everything is so easy and effortless.

Arthur was startled, then suddenly realized.

Unlike others who rely on self-cultivation, performing rituals, swallowing magic potions, etc., he has some shortcomings and even left various hidden injuries, so that his foundation is unstable and it is extremely difficult to climb the ladder.

But he is different. He has improved step by step by adding points with XP and has a solid foundation.

finally?
Naturally, it happened overnight.

This is talent!

Thinking of this, Arthur's lips curled up.

He walked forward.

Start from the first level, to the second level, to the third level, and then to the fourth level.

The journey was smooth all the way.

And every time he reached a higher level, his [physical strength] and [spiritual strength] were like being baptized again, and began a new round of improvement.

Not only [physique] and [spirituality], but also [talent] and [bloodline]!
[Breath of Death] and [Death Intuition] started a new round of promotion.

The bloodline of the [Death Snake] began to transform in the true sense.

Arthur's intuition told him that as long as he stepped onto the fifth step, everything would be different.

He will become truly safe.

However, his intuition told him that if he really set foot on it, he would lose something quite important.

Arthur frowned.

He did not exploit faith.

It is not a shortcut to reach Tier V.

Then why does he still have this intuition?

Clearly, he had overlooked something.

Standing on the fourth step, Arthur began his search.

Almost the next moment, Arthur noticed the difference.

Three wires!
Three transparent threads, which even he could not notice without careful observation, were connected to his body.

‘When did it appear? ’

Surprise flashed in Arthur's eyes.

He was sure that there was absolutely no such thread on his body before.

It's in...

He intuitively felt that something was wrong, but he held back and continued to step onto the fifth step.

"So, once I reach the fifth step, these three threads will break?"

Arthur guessed.

Then the young medium examined the three threads more carefully.

Although the three silk threads appear transparent, their thickness is slightly different.

The thickest one looks like a fishing line.

The thinnest one looks like spider silk.

Moreover, when Arthur focused on the three silk threads, he could feel some noise in his ears, which came from the three silk threads, but it was extremely far away and could not be heard at all.

Immediately, Arthur concentrated and held his breath, moved close to the thinnest silk thread, and listened attentively.

Suddenly, the scene in front of me changed.

Pale and lifeless.

But, it was very lively.

Light and shadow flicker.

There were constant explosions.

With just a slight movement in his heart, Arthur saw four figures fighting -

An old gentleman in a black suit, with neatly combed hair and a clean-cut face, was fighting with three people of different appearances.

An old man.

A middle-aged man.

A young man.

The old man had a kind face, like an elder, and was dressed appropriately.
