Arthur agreed to Vontel's commission.

The other party gave too much.

Arthur couldn't refuse.

The market price of a golden acorn is around 500-600 golden tickets, but most of the time, direct purchases are not accepted and bartering is required.

So how much is a manor that produces a steady stream of golden acorns worth?

Arthur was immeasurable.

Even if it's just an eighth of it.

So, he really couldn't refuse.

After all, he was really short of money!

Anything that is hooked up to the mystery side is not a bargain, especially some knowledge, and the price is so high that Arthur's heart trembles.

Not to mention some mysterious side materials that can be called one-of-a-kind.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a city of value.

Of course, Arthur will not be eyeing this material, but in order to maintain his daily study of the mystery, he also needs a sufficient support.

Supported by the profession of 'psychic medium'?

Isn't that what he's doing?

In order to complete the commission more smoothly, Arthur wrote three letters, one to Malinda, one to Malinda, and one to Scott.

The letter to Malinda simply reads: 'Lord Doyle's death, his trip to Oak Manor, and his need for compensation!' ’

Until now, Arthur was unsure if Malinda knew about the Lord's death, and whether the previous mention of Oak Manor was a mere 'coincidence'.

But Malinda did say it, then he assumed that Malinda already knew about it and set him up.

And he?

It's also on the set.

So, compensation is needed.

This is definitely not a prostitute for nothing - because he informed the other party of this 'coincidence' and gave the other party a 'reminder'.

At the same time, in the face of this series of 'coincidences', Arthur himself became more and more vigilant.

He always felt that someone was laying it out!

He has to be careful about anything that gets blown!

So, he also informed Maltz.

Compared to Malinda's collaborator, the letter to Maltz was much simpler - 'I need some people, if you can come in person, it would be better!' ’

Arthur believed that Maltz would give him the best answer.

As for Scott?

Although he had already appeared in the Daily de Nanlos, he had no intention of abandoning the Clarion.

Of course, in the face of a nobleman's estate, a journalist is better than a thug - even if the Silver Age has long since ended with the Seven Years' War, and the nobles in the pioneer era are no longer as good as they were at the beginning, no one can deny the strength of the nobles, especially Arthur who came into contact with the mysterious side.

For the aristocracy's force, Arthur's guess in his heart made him maintain a considerable sense of awe.

It's still about hiring those newsboys to run errands.

Soon, Scott arrived as soon as possible.

The young journalist had a sense of betrayal when he saw this morning's edition of the Journal of Nanlos, and he thought that Arthur would give up on him, and his whole body became a mess.

Therefore, when a letter was received that Arthur needed his help, he rushed without hesitation.

"Arthur!"

As soon as they met, Scott shouted excitedly.

"Sorry, you know, sometimes I can't help myself—that's Malinda's idea, she thinks I deserve to be known by more people.

It helped her career.

After all, the title of Baron Kemir needs more fame. ”

Arthur gave the young reporter a hug and said very seriously.

Dumping the pot on Malinda, Arthur doesn't have any psychological burden.

Because, Malinda probably planned to do so in her heart.

Arthur knew a lot about this lady's 'budgeting'.

"Understood!"

Scott looked at Arthur with guilt on his face, nodded immediately, and slapped Arthur's upper arm hard - as long as he was not abandoned or betrayed.

The young reporter thought to himself, and his eyes turned to Fontel, who had a relationship with each other.

Without waiting for the young reporter to ask, Fontel took the initiative to inform everything.

Suddenly, Scott, who had a great sense of justice, promised.

"Leave it to me!"

"I will definitely tell everyone the truth!"

About fifteen minutes later, Maltz also came.

There was also a patrol officer, not the familiar Diko, who was a new patrolman.

The other party is respectful and courteous.

It was clear that the other party was the next patrol officer that Maltz was going to train.

"What happened?"

As soon as he entered 2 Kirk Street, the Shire sheriff asked.

Vontel told it again.

Arthur listened again.

In fact, Arthur had been observing Vontel while he was telling Scott - although the young man was right, Arthur would not take one side of the story, and it was even more convenient with Maltz's cooperation.

Arthur glanced at Maltz.

"When will you arrive at Oak Manor?"

"Yesterday evening, it was less than 6 o'clock."

"One of those people named 'Huck'?"

"Yes, he's a bit famous on the docks."

From time to time, Maltz interrupted or suddenly asked for something that Vonter had said before.

Interrupted words can be picked up.

The words of the flashback can also be matched.

Until now, it has been shown that Fontel is not lying.

Arthur gave Maltz another look, and after letting him take charge of the overall situation for the time being, he went to the side room to tidy up his medium-sized box.

There are also cat cages, cat food, etc.

Arthur wouldn't have left Pendragon alone inside 2 Kirk Street.

It's just too dangerous.

Of course, the most important thing is to bring Ms. 'Anna'.

At 10 a.m., two horse-drawn carriages set off from 2 rue de Kirk towards the Oak Estate on the outskirts of South Los.

Arthur took Pendragon and 'Anna' with a carriage of Scott and Vontel.

Maltz and Andy sat in the carriage in the back.

The coachman was hired by Fontel and worked part-time as a bodyguard.

Arthur could tell at a glance that the two were carrying weapons, but when facing Maltz, the two immediately bowed their heads and curled up, looking weak.

Arthur was not surprised by this.

The 'Huck' hired by Vontel is a member of the gang.

These two?

Naturally, too.

Wheels, wheels.

As soon as the two wagons left South Los, the road became more and more muddy, but the air became clearer, and the pollution of the factories in the Duo District was missing, and the wind here mixed with the smell of sea and earth made it impossible to take a deep breath.

The previous body had never left Nanlos, so this was the first time Arthur had left Nanlos, looking at the fields, the woods, the stream, and the hare that popped up and ran away from time to time, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the round eyes of Pendragon lying in his arms were full of curiosity.

Arthur stroked the top of Pendragon's head, feeling happier and happier.

Especially when the words that only he could see appeared—

[The publication of the daily newspaper of South Los will make you more recognized, XP+30]

[More people have heard your name; XP+2】

……

Yesterday's report on Amanda's Cat's Best Friends Home', Scott was writing in the wagon, but an XP prompt appeared in the Daily Llos del Nanlos.

What's more, with the publication of the Daily Nanlos, Arthur believes that he will have more XP passive income in the coming period.

For the last few days, only 1-2 XP points per day have been passively credited, Arthur is not disgusted.

But XP is such a thing, naturally, more and more

【XP：82】

……

Arthur glanced at his current XP total and looked at his skill bar.

[Auxiliary Skill Column] to be exact!

[Tufuyu] is classified as a combat skill by [Everything Eats].

And until the ritual [Cat Orange] solves the 'spirituality' problem, Arthur will definitely not arbitrarily raise the level of [Hand of Nothingness] and [Tufuyu], or learn those new secret arts.

Look at the five skills of [Riding Lv. 1 (0/1)], [Intimidation Lv. 2 (0/5)], [Bluffing Lv. 2 (2/5)], [Eyes Like a Torch Lv. 1 (0/1)], and [Observing Words and Emotions Lv. 1 (0/1)].

After Arthur slightly calculated the needs of the next level of [Hand of Nothingness] and [Diagram Language], he made a decision.

He, all of them!
