They all call me master.

Chapter 941 Fraud!

As always, the words appeared before Arthur's eyes, where only he could see them.

[Name: Fraud. Fragment 1]

[Type: Special Items]

【Quality: V】

[Requirements: 1. Bluff Lv30; 2. Before "climbing the stairs", deceive the "climber"]

[Attribute: Deception]

[Note: After the 'God of War' killed the 'God of Fraud' with one sword, the prelude to the War of the Gods was completely opened. It was no longer a small-scale proxy war, but a real war. The first to fall was the 'God of Fraud', a guy hated by the gods.

So, the gods set a trap.

The impulsive 'God of War' became the scapegoat.

When the sun and moon appeared together, the stars began to twinkle.

But soon, the twinkling stars became shooting stars.

Including the sun and the moon.

The world where the gods lived was destroyed.

The World Tree began to wither.

Most of the gods have fallen.

At this time, the 'God of Destiny' appeared with a smile.

He is the initiator of all together.

He is also a remnant of the previous age.

It was He who provoked the 'God of Deception'.

It was also He who prevented the chariot of the God of War from moving forward.

As He declared Himself the victor and the king of the gods, the 'Sword of War' pierced His chest.

The 'God of War' who was supposed to have fallen reappeared. Similarly, the 'God of Deception' who was supposed to have fallen was squatting in the corner of the world. He picked up the golden apple, wiped it gently, and then took a big bite.

The juice splashes everywhere and the sweet fragrance overflows.

The 'God of Trickster' enjoys the deliciousness of the golden apple.

Then, He unfolded His own realm of deception, and He made everyone believe everything He said - He split the original world into two, and the broken one became the branch that supported the 'Mythological Age', while the intact one quickly entered the era that truly belonged to civilization.

The former is like the shadow of the latter.

The 'God of War' cut off the shadow with one sword.

Dead gods.

The gods of the previous age.

All the dark and indescribable things entered here and continued to fight in the 'Mythological Age', and then came the 'Golden Age', 'Imperial Age', 'Holy Empire Age', 'Silver Age', 'Pioneer Age' and the hidden 'Ragnarok'.

Are these real?

Who knows?

The words of the 'God of Fraud' are always so unreliable, but the authority of the 'God of Fraud' is trustworthy. The 'Authority of Fraud' that was originally broken into three pieces by the 'Sword of War' has become a unique treasure, wandering in the 'Shadow World'.

Similarly, the 'Sword of the God of War', the 'Armor of the God of War', and the 'Chariot of the God of War' are also wandering in the 'Shadow World'.

And, as if it were a curse, they were attracted to each other.

When you have one of them, you will always be entangled by the rest.

The piece in your hand is the smallest one, and its power is far less than the other two pieces, but it is also the easiest one to control.

……

【Deception: When others believe what you say, then what you say is true! 】

(Note 1: The incomplete fraud authority will still make you look strenuous when facing a demigod, but it is not impossible to succeed)

(Note 2: Every time a deception is true, a bluff value is required)
(Note 3: Current Bluff Value: 31028500)

……

When Arthur saw [Fraud.Fragment 1] just now, he would have almost screamed out loud if he had not been strict with himself on a daily basis.

It's not that Arthur was not calm enough, it's that Arthur himself didn't expect that the human puppet 'Old Lion' would actually take out this thing as 'bait'.

It's like buying the casket and returning the pearl.

Arthur was certain that the human puppet 'Old Lion' had no idea what the true power of [Fraud.Fragment 1] in his hand was.

If I had known, I wouldn't have come to see him at all.

Of course, there is no such if.

Just like what is described in [Fraud. Fragment 1]——

[As if it were a curse, they attracted each other.

When you have one of them, you will always be entangled by the rest. 】

……

'Maybe this is fate?

wrong!

'Destiny' was killed by 'war'. '

Arthur silently told himself a "hell joke" in his heart.

He glanced at the Bluff value.

That was the skill [Bluff] that appeared after reaching level 99. At first, under the gaze of the inexplicable existence in those "illusions", it rarely reached [14489055]. When he reached the huge golden tree, it was still [30028500].

As for the current [31028500]?
Naturally, it comes from Arthur's daily strict self-discipline.

As a psychic, what's wrong with him imprinting his psychic instincts into his life?

He just told some white lies.

However, the power of these lies was really too great. A human puppet like 'Old Lion', who had 'climbed the ladder' and was only one step away from becoming a demigod, was killed by a snap of his fingers simply because he believed in them.

Spent 100000 Bluff points.

But what does this mean compared to the Bluff value Arthur has?

'really!
Good man rewarded!
A white lie brings endless blessings!

This is what I deserve!'

Arthur thought so.

Melinda on the side said nothing.

The lady could see that Arthur was in a very good mood at the moment, and coupled with the concise words just now, it was obvious that Arthur had gained a huge benefit.

After all, 'Transport Captain', you can figure out what it is just by thinking about it.

Melinda was also delighted about this.

As a collaborator, Malinda hopes that Arthur will have greater power.

because--

They have even more powerful enemies.

Old lion!
A real old lion!
As for the 'old lion' just now?
Although she did not identify the identity of the other party's puppet, Ms. Chang Ye knew that it was just a fake.

Even if they look exactly the same.

But the momentum is far from enough.

A real old lion, in South Los.

She just glanced at him from a distance, and an indescribable shudder rose in her heart, as if someone suddenly patted her from behind while she was walking on the road at night.

She still remembers that feeling of palpitations.

And the one just now?

Emmm...

How to describe it?
It went from facing a real lion to eating a cake that was made in the shape of a lifelike lion.

No matter how realistic it is.

It's just cake.

"That guy is one of the stand-ins for 'Old Lion'."

Arthur explained.

There is no more detailed explanation.

Some things are not yet ready to be spoken.

And Melinda didn't ask any further questions.

This lady is quite smart and she won't dig into the details.

Only the dumbest people would do that.

“Guessed it.

What now?
After your aunt lectured your uncle, I think her anger has not subsided yet."

As Melinda spoke, a smile appeared in her eyes.

The atmosphere in Kratos's home was better than she had imagined.

At least, when Aunt Cassandra beat Uncle Drake, she didn't really do it, she was just pretending, and Uncle Drake screamed in a very miserable way.

Clearly this is a happy family.

Has its own unique way of building relationships.

Melinda felt relieved.

Arthur didn't.

He knew very well that Aunt Cassandra and Uncle Drake did this so that he could more quickly overcome the barriers of 'returning from a long journey'.

He was well aware of the good intentions involved.

However, he still couldn't let go.

Or rather, he is still a little shy.

He needs time to digest this family affection.

"Let's go. We have more important things to prepare for."

Arthur prepared to escape first.

It’s like this: Although escaping is shameful, it is useful.

Melinda didn't give Arthur any more advice.

When facing the other party's family, she chose to listen to him.

As for everything in the Inner Bay?
Melinda believed that Arthur had done enough.

The rest can be left to Jimt, Karal and Hayes.

They will complete the next thing properly.

However, soon, Melinda, who had remained calm, looked surprised. The lady looked at the "White Crow" emerging from the ground with her eyes widened.

It took a full three seconds before the lady sighed.

"Sure enough, it has already been in your hands."

Arthur had no explanation for this.

He was used to Malinda's misunderstandings.

He held Melinda's hand and boarded the White Raven.

"where are we going?"

Melinda asked casually.

The answer already existed in the lady's mind.

It could only be Nanlos.

Arthur really did return to South Los, but before that, he had to go somewhere else -

Coconut Island.

The 'White Raven' quickly disappeared from the ground.

The moment the White Raven completely disappeared, the fight between Cassandra and Drake in the cabin of the disguised pirate ship stopped immediately.

"Are we overdoing it a bit?"

Derek scratched his head.

"I guess Arthur just came back and he's not used to it yet?"

Cassandra released the hand that was pulling Drake's ear, supported her chin with one hand, and once again became the cold and aloof person that Arthur remembered.

“Hey, that guy must be shy.

It’s exactly the same as before.”

Drake said with certainty.

Then, the West Sea pirate general let out a long breath and lay flat on the deck, muttering, "I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!"

Without making a sound, the West Sea pirate general turned his body to the other side and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

Cassandra saw this, but did not expose her brother.

She'd seen enough.

She knew what her brother had endured.

So, she asked simply.

"What are you going to do next?"

“Set sail!
You know, I really want to see what's at the end of the distant sea!"

Derek turned over and sat up, his eyes full of excitement.

Although Cassandra knew the answer before asking, the lady couldn't help but sigh after hearing her brother's answer.

"If I could, I'd like to persuade you not to go.

But if you listen to me, there will be greater deviations in the future.

You might be in a worse situation..."

Cassandra said, glancing at Drake's vitals.

Derek grabbed his crotch sharply.

The West Sea pirate general just felt a chill down there.

And his expression was even more solemn.

You know, their family is a family of 'psychics', and although most members use skills, there are also some who use 'talents'.

Cassandra is.

However, this kind of "talent" is sometimes not as good as skill.

"Is it really that cruel...ah, no, is it that tragic?"

Drake's voice became shrill out of fear.

"Ah."

Cassandra nodded.

"What's the result?"

Derek demanded.

Cassandra simply rolled her eyes.

She saw enough, but what she saw did not produce any real results—at least not under normal circumstances.

Drake naturally knew this.

But what Cassandra said just now was too important.

So much so that he instinctively asked.

See, this is one of the proofs that 'talent' is not as good as 'skill'.

"His! His! His!"

Drake gasped again and again.

Did he think he should do something?
Of course it doesn’t mean we won’t go out to sea.

He has decided to go to sea and of course he will not change his mind.

Even if his second brother was injured, he would still go to sea.

only……

Before going out to sea, can we let my second brother get tired like never before?

"Changed your mind?"

Cassandra inquired.

Her 'talent' is very special, and it also makes her very powerless, but the 'scepter' she accidentally obtained is enough for her to slightly change the situation.

Not a complete reversal.

But even small changes are good enough.

Of course, there is a price to pay.

If it had been anyone else, Cassandra certainly wouldn't have cared.

But if it was for Drake, she certainly didn't care.

"without.

Going to sea will not change.

But before going out to sea, I can relax for a while!
Maybe next year, many children will call you auntie!"

Drake said with a grin.

Then, as expected, Cassandra kicked him in the calf.

It's different from the joke just now.

This time, Cassandra really tried hard.

Drake grimaced in pain.

However, immediately, the West Sea pirate general stood up straight.

because--

"Want to know what Arthur will do next?"

"miss you!"

Cassandra laughed at Drake's serious look.

She said:

"I won't tell you!"

After saying this, the lady disappeared on the spot.

Drake was stunned for a moment, then immediately started to mutter.

“What a suspenseful fellow.

However, since he didn't say anything, it means that Arthur is still going smoothly. There may be some twists and turns, but there will definitely not be any major problems."

Derek muttered, rubbing his leg.

Drake knew his sister all too well.

Since Cassandra didn't say too much about Arthur's affairs, it proved that he didn't need to get involved in Arthur's affairs and he just needed to take care of himself.

Getting involved rashly will only make things worse.

"Hiss, it hurts!"

Drake gasped as he rubbed his leg, it was obvious that Cassandra's powerful kick was not so easily smoothed out, and it was also to stop him from messing around.

But would Drake give in so easily?

The West Sea pirate general shouted to the outside:

"Titer, my boatswain, help me to the club!"
