Chapter Ninety-Seven: Return!
Pendragon's beard fell out.
Arthur's heart was full of joy - according to Amanda, the cat's whiskers change every six months, naturally fall off as they moult, and then grow again.
And, of course, there are everyday sheddings.
Depending on the cat's physique, there will be a daily shedding of whiskers every week, so as long as it is not broken, messy, etc., there is no need to worry.
It is clear that Pendragon's beard should belong to the daily shedding.
Arthur picked up his beard and prepared to put it in the test tube.
However, the moment he picked up his beard, Arthur couldn't help but look at the top of Pendragon's head.
Then, just like that, subconsciously put his beard on the top of Pendragon's head.
Pendragon, who was purring, seemed to have been pressed a switch, and was stunned by the pestle.
Arthur looked at the corners of his mouth upturned.
"Pan, you have a beard on your head!"
"Meow!"
Pendragon's cry became muffled, and his tail began to flick hard.
It's getting impatient!
Remembering Amanda's teachings, Arthur immediately took off the beard and put it in a test tube and put it in a psychic box - of course, a small dried fish was also necessary.
Immediately, Pendragon forgot everything, and gnawed on the small dried fish.
Arthur watched this scene, clapped his hands and stood up, and said goodbye to Vontel and the old butler.
"Arthur, you're leaving?"
Vontel looked surprised.
"I only own half of the Oak Manor, but I am not in the blood of the old lord - so, the old lord's oath can only be inherited by you.
Believe me, this is the beginning of glory! ”
Arthur looked at Vontel with a smile.
As Lord Doyle's sole bloodline, Vontel naturally needed to follow the old lord's vow not to step out of the oak manor again.
Naturally, Vontel knew about this.
It's just that......
He was reluctant to give up on Ms. Anna.
Fontel turned his head to look at Lady Anna, as if ready to move her with her eyes, and make her take the initiative to stay.
And the old butler said very simply.
"Do you need me to arrange for a few reliable servants to return to South Los with you?"
"As you said, I'm returning to South Los - 2 Kirk Street, although there is plenty of space, my 'medium' career does not allow me to live with a few servants.
However, I assure you that every year I make time to come here for a vacation!
After all, everything here makes me feel good! ”
Arthur looked at the old butler sincerely.
"You are always welcome home!"
"I'll arrange some souvenirs, don't refuse—just some food and wine from the estate."
The old butler said, blinking.
"Okay."
Arthur nodded knowingly.
After lunch, the old butler personally loaded Arthur's salute and the souvenirs he had brought with him into the carriage, and then the manor's hunter and four horseback guards drove Arthur back to South Los himself—even though Arthur said he didn't need it, the old butler insisted.
"This is the necessary decency and rules!"
Faced with the old butler's words, Arthur chose to accept it.
"Have a nice trip!"
"Arthur remembers to bring 'Anna' back often!"
In front of the suspension bridge, the two sides waved goodbye.
With Albert's whip, the carriage began to move forward steadily, with two of the four guards in front and two in the back, keeping the line forward.
It took about two hours to get from South Los to Oak Manor by horse-drawn carriage, and a little faster on horseback alone—Arthur remembers well that he had been watching the scenery for at least half an hour when he arrived, and then about an hour and a half after that.
For almost two hours, Arthur was not idle.
After reviewing his trip to Oak Manor, he pondered what would happen when he returned to South Los.
First of all, naturally, it's Malinda.
When the lady is honest, she has to get real with him - once he exposes his inability to communicate with the ghost, that's a bad thing.
Therefore, there must be a skillful avoidance.
Secondly, 'Rat Street, Rat Tail Alley'.
It was still a collaboration with the lady Malinda, but secretly there was an interest in the countess - Arthur had no way of knowing the true relationship between Malinda and the countess.
But what he did know was that because of the presence of this countess, he seemed to be able to avoid Malinda!
Arthur hugged Pendragon and tapped his fingers lightly on Pendragon's cat's head, his eyes narrowing as a plan took shape in his mind.
By the time he was already close to South Los Az, Arthur's plan had been perfected, and a backup plan had been drawn up.
After thinking about it again and confirming that it was correct, Arthur, who was slightly relieved, let himself lean back in the chair in a more comfortable way, and looked at the gains of XP in the past few days-
[The murder of a nobleman in Oak Manor shocked South Los and was reported by the Clarion and the Daily South Los at the same time, making everyone impressed by Ling's name, XP+50]
[More people have heard your name; XP+5】
[More people have heard your name; XP+5】
[More people have heard your name; XP+4】
……
Scott returned to South Los at dawn that day, after the drawbridge was repaired.
As for the publication of the daily newspaper South Los?
It should be a consultation with the Clarion.
As the boss of the newspaper South Los Newspaper, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper knew exactly what he should do, and chose a different direction of reporting with great wisdom.
And this ultimately made Arthur gain greatly.
Of course, Arthur also knew very well that the 'murder of the nobles' was the most important thing.
'At all times, the aristocracy is at the heart – even if it's the age of the pioneers! ’
Arthur sighed, his mind recalling the needs of [Lockpicking], [Mnemonics], and [Wand Fighting].
Lockpicking requires 10XP and a deceiver's hair.
[Mnemonics] requires 20XP and the brains of the Slote Goldfish.
Wand Fighting requires 20XP and a staff that you think is strong.
One of the [mnemonics] that Arthur cares about the most, after learning it, as long as he uses it, he can remember anything he has seen within 1 hour.
And [Lockpicking] is the ability to open any non-mysterious lock.
As for the [Wand Fighting]?
Choose a wooden object of the right thickness and height no more than your wrist as the base material, and you can't mix any metal, and then after casting it according to the secret technique, you can get a walking stick with good fighting ability - every time you only need to choose a target, the cane can actively attack, which lasts about 1 minute, and if you want to use it again, you need to use the secret technique again.
At the same time, the caster has only one wand.
Only when the specified wand is completely broken can a new wand be selected.
Arthur was eager to try it with the branches of the golden oak.
'Maybe you can let Vontel try?' ’
Arthur thought, but immediately shook his head.
Vontel is a good man.
He didn't want the other party to be in any danger.
And just as Arthur was thinking, the carriage had already driven into Nanlos - the carriage coat of arms and the guards followed, and the passers-by avoided it one after another.
Even when they arrived at Kirk Street, the surrounding middle class chose to politely retreat.
Of course, when he looked at Arthur who stepped out of the carriage, his eyes were mixed with envy and jealousy.
No one is more class-anxious than the middle class!
Arthur clearly felt this gaze.
There are no worries.
That was what he wanted—it was necessary to foreshadow his next move," and Arthur asked with a smile as he looked at the Hunter Captain who was driving.
"Albert, can you do me a favor?"
