Chapter Twenty-Nine: Compensation Is After Lunch (Ask for Follow-up ~Ask for Support~)
The accident of encountering a beggar had already made Arthur's nerves tense.
At this moment, Arthur looks the same as usual, but the vigilance in his heart is ten times that of the past, and any wind and grass is stimulating his nerves.
Placing two bundles of explosives in his coat, Arthur walked along the base of the wall, slowly approaching the modified Bloom carriage.
Talent: Dark Snake. The special effect [Shadow Collection] brought by the treasure is playing its due role.
With the +3 stealth modifier, Arthur came to the back of the carriage almost silently.
Relying on the hearing brought by 1.7 [Physique], Arthur could clearly hear the conversation in the carriage.
"Byrne, are you sure he can really be psychic?"
"Yes, boss!"
"I've seen it with my own eyes for a dozen or so!"
"Arthur. Credos is a true 'medium' master! ”
The conversation in the carriage and the sound of Byrne's voice caused Arthur to snuff out the fuse that had just been lit by the dynamite.
As he had approached quietly, Arthur returned to his original position, reloaded the two bundles of explosives into the medium, and then walked generously towards 2 Kirk Street.
This undisguised advance was immediately seen by the people inside the carriage.
Byrne, whom he had seen before, jumped out of the carriage and waved at Arthur.
"Master Credos, here!"
The young swordsmanship instructor gave Arthur the honorific title he deserved, and looked at Arthur with more awe.
There is no doubt that what happened before has a considerable impact on the young coach, and according to normal circumstances, the opponent will never appear in front of Arthur again in a short period of time.
However, there are always surprises.
After saying hello, the young swordsmanship instructor turned to one side, revealing the middle-aged man behind him.
Unlike Byrne on the side, the middle-aged man was well-dressed, with a big belly and two shiny black mustaches above his lips.
Without waiting for Arthur to get closer, the middle-aged man greeted him and took off his top hat.
"I've finally waited for you, Arthur. Master Credos. ”
In the face of the other party's enthusiasm, Arthur smiled.
"Welcome to, 2 Kirk Street."
Arthur opened the courtyard door and walked in, and the other party immediately signaled the coachman to watch the carriage and beckoned Byrne to follow in.
Listening to the footsteps behind him, Arthur began to wonder what the other party could give him.
The other party is the owner of Bourne, that is, the owner of the 'Joel Chok Swordsmanship Club', and at the moment the club is dead, and the other party does not deal with those troubles, but runs to No. 2 Kirk Street to wait for him, what does it mean?
Connecting with the conversation just now, the answer is obvious.
The murderous Desi is right.
Little's third place in the last 'Sword Fighting Competition' was really through bribery.
And he, who can communicate with the undead, naturally knows better.
In order to gag his mouth, the other party will wait here.
So what will the other party use to gag him?
Money is a must.
In addition to money, is it possible to have swordsmanship?
The other party has a swordsmanship club, and if it is considered a close contact with swordsmanship, maybe there will be.
Anyway, it's a rip-off, it's a big deal to ask for a price to pay back!
Arthur didn't think about it in the slightest.
Although the other party is not the ill-intentioned guy he imagined, judging from his actions, the other party does not belong to the category that can make Arthur soft-hearted.
Moreover, this is also in line with the 'psychic rule' laid down by old Charlie: sinful coins should be purified and turned into food, clothing, and houses.
As a result, the Credos family had a place to live on Kirk Street, food, clothing, and an education that was considered extremely expensive to ordinary people.
Many people are envious.
But there was no jealousy.
Because, when old Charlie has spare strength, he is really helping some poor people.
Of course, there will be no shortage of white-eyed wolves at any time.
You give him some, he will ask for more, you give him more, he will take your life.
In the face of this kind of person, old Charlie generally chooses 'exorcism' or 'purification'.
The former has a whole corpse.
The bones of the latter are gone.
'What a respectable elder. ’
Arthur evaluates his grandfather very subjectively through the memories of his predecessor.
And Todd Jili, who was following Arthur, became more and more uneasy.
The owner of the sword club was similarly intimidated by the setting at 2 Kirk Street.
In fact, it wasn't just Todd Jili who was scared, but Bourne who was following him was also scared.
This tall and strong swordsmanship instructor not only had panicked eyes, but his body was extremely stiff when he walked, and his clenched fists seemed to be ready to be punched out at any time.
Fortunately, the corridor was not long, and as soon as he entered the psychic hall, Bourne let out a long sigh, and the other party's boss took out the prepared 10 golden tickets.
"I beg your pardon for my recklessness, I really can't put into words how excited I was when I met you, it's a small compensatory for what you have suffered at the club today, please accept it."
Todjili, a businessman, said with a clever and respectful attitude.
Arthur, on the other hand, glanced at Bourne with a smirk.
Obviously, Byrne didn't know what his boss really thought, otherwise this boss wouldn't be so 'tactful' when he spoke.
Arthur gained his gaze, didn't even look at the 10 golden tickets on the table, but said in the same 'euphemistic' tone.
"A small compensation indeed, you must know that Ritter's ghost is with you."
"Huh?!"
As if frightened, the owner of the swordsmanship club exclaimed, and then took out another 10 golden tickets.
"The undead are still wandering back!"
Arthur continued.
Without hesitation, the sword club owner took out 10 gold tickets again, and Arthur didn't open his mouth this time, just looked at each other directly, and hesitated for less than a second, the sword club owner took out all the remaining 70 gold tickets in his arms and put them on the table.
At this time, fine beads of sweat had begun to appear on the other party's forehead.
The skill [Observing Words and Looks] flashed, and Arthur saw the other party's distress.
100 golden tickets, converted into suo, is 1000 suo, enough for a civilian family in the old city to struggle for three years.
"The undead are gone."
Arthur said after putting the golden ticket in his wallet.
Todd Jili breathed a sigh of relief, but Arthur then said.
"But he still has an obsession - an obsession with swordsmanship, I hope you can help him complete it, he doesn't want to use himself only for ordinary, basic swordsmanship, he wants to get better."
"This ...... It's difficult! ”
"But please believe me, I will do my best, please give me time!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on the face of the owner of the sword club.
Arthur was not surprised by this.
Knowledge is expensive in South County, and swordsmanship naturally belongs to a type of knowledge, and from the point of view of the 'Jolchok Sword Club', the value of swordsmanship is far greater than ordinary knowledge.
"Good!"
With Arthur's approval, Todd Geely finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bourne on the side also smiled, in the eyes of the young sword instructor, it was worth it to compensate Arthur and appease Ritter's undead, even if the 100 gold ticket was expensive.
Arthur, who got what he wanted and was in a good mood, personally sent the two out of the door and watched each other move away.
It wasn't until he couldn't see each other that Arthur turned around and went back inside.
But at the moment when he just turned around, he felt his shoulders sink.
I saw—
A palm appeared there.
