Before Losek's words were finished, Arthur had already guessed what the other party wanted to say - without any hesitation, click on the skill bar, select [Bluff], consume 30XP, and upgrade two levels in a row.

Arthur was afraid that he would be too excited and would show his stuff.

There's no way, Losec gives too much!

He didn't believe that the other party had just taken some money from the 'Rat Council'.

This rattan crate contains some of the most valuable items in the 'Rat Council'.

What could it be?

Items on the mystery side?

Or knowledge?

Or maybe it's a secret art?

Arthur's heart was full of longing, but he remained indifferent on the surface.

And after such an expression fell into Losek's eyes, one of the founders of the 'Rat Council', who looked like a merchant more than a mysterious person, expressed his admiration again.

It is worthy of a secret family, and it actually knows this box.

"Lord Credos, your knowledge is as awe-inspiring as your family—

The 'Athos Chest' is one of the treasures of the 'Rat Council', and it has a separate space inside, although it is not as good as the 'Athos Gold Chest' that can store living things, but it will also make your life much easier.

Of course, the items in it belong to you!

These will be the testimonies of our friendship! ”

At this moment, Arthur was extremely glad that he had upgraded [Bluffing] by two levels in a row.

Otherwise, at this time, the flaws will definitely be exposed.

'This rattan box turned out to be a space prop! ’

In the previous three days of communication with Albers, the young detective had mentioned more than once that the appearance of space props - space props made it more difficult for detectives to solve the case, and no one was sure whether the murderer would put the body in it.

Arthur did not approve of this.

After all, since the Silver Age, there has been an unwritten rule that an alchemist who can craft spatial items is qualified to be called a 'master'.

And the props made by every alchemy master are sought after by mysterious people.

Even, it can be called an heirloom-like existence.

How could such a prop be used to hold a corpse.

How can such a prop be described as 'some property'?

But Arthur didn't show any surprise, he glanced at Losec quietly, and said lightly.

"I thought it would be the work of Master Herke."

Losec was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly.

"If it's the master's work, Isidore will definitely carry it with him."

One of the founders of the 'Rat Council' said truthfully.

Master alchemist, with an extraordinary status.

But Herke is even more respectful.

Because, this Potions Master is revered by all the Alchemists as the 'Master of Alchemists'.

Of course, more alchemists are willing to call him the 'God of Alchemy'.

Because the 'Herke Flying Boat' that this master once made can not only put a country into it, but also travel through space - any destination, it only takes a moment to reach it.

However, this title was opposed by many Potions masters, who thought that Herke should be revered as the 'God of Potions'.

This is naturally due to the magic of the four potions of 'Helke Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Black Iron'.

In particular, the [Helke Golden Medicine] is rumored to be able to give people a lifespan similar to that of an immortal species.

I don't even know when there was a rumor that 'the secret of becoming a god is hidden in Herke's work' - many people think it is a rumor, but it does not prevent everyone from cherishing the idea of cherishing the works of Herke's masters.

After all, if it's a human being, you will have the idea that if others can't do it, they are not smart enough, but I can't do it.

Arthur knew this, of course—from Albers, but that didn't stop him from using it against Elberth's uncle.

He could see that the other party had obviously had a wonderful misunderstanding of the 'Credos family'.

Moreover, the other party wants to go back to Fort Rorschatea, and will not stay in South Los for long!

In this case, it is natural to make the misunderstanding a little deeper!

The 'Credos Family', which had been hidden for a long time, did not move much when faced with the 'Athos Box', which was considered precious to others.

If you want the 'friendship of the Credos family', you have to have the work of Master Herke.

Lostek, who fell into a state of self-brain supplementation, was obviously pinched.

One of the founders of the 'Rat Council' hesitated for a moment, then took out a small box from his inner pocket and said.

"This is the 'Blood Marquis's Ring', in order to give his son better control over the 'spirituality', this marquis spent a lot of money to create this ring - it can reconcile and stabilize a certain degree of 'spirituality', and it is a treasure for any mysterious person!"

With that, Losec placed the small box on the 'Box of Athos'.

A prop that can reconcile and stabilize the 'spirituality'!

Arthur once again thanked himself for upgrading [Bluffing] by two levels, otherwise at this time, he would not have been able to control his heartbeat that was about to accelerate.

'Spirituality', which is considered to be a gift, is a top priority for all mystical people.

It's not just about strength, it's about life and death.

Especially when the rituals of different schools and forces may conflict, the props that can reconcile and stabilize the 'spirituality' become particularly valuable.

It's a pity that this kind of precious prop, except for being circulated among the nobles, is not at all in ordinary secret gatherings.

'Rich 'Rat Council'! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart.

At the same time, he had already begun to speculate whether the Losec in front of him had taken all the most valuable props in the 'Rat Council'?

Take a look at the 'Chest of Athos' and the 'Ring of the Marquis of Blood' in their hands!

By the way, there are also the props that were originally pulled out.

When Arthur looked at it, Losec put the prop he had taken out at the beginning on the 'Athos Box' with great interest.

It was a copper coin.

There was no way to take a closer look, Arthur held back his excitement and bowed slightly.

Arthur understood the principle of moderation.

When Losek took out the 'Blood Marquis Ring', he was so distressed that the corners of his eyes were beating, but he could see it clearly.

After all, the personality of the 'Credos family' comes from the imagination of the other party, and it is not really a so-called secret family!

On the basis of having obtained enough things, in case the chicken flies the egg is not to wait.

And seeing that Arthur finally recognized, Losec was overjoyed.

One of the founders of the 'Rat Council' was about to leave with his nephew in tow.

But at this moment, Arthur whispered again.

"That countess is the true master of Nanlos."

The meaning of this could not be more obvious.

He spared the other party on behalf of the 'Credos family'.

But it couldn't affect the countess.

Arthur's main focus is to take things and not work, all relying on pits...... No, it's all about technology.

Losec smiled.

"Aristocrats are not trustworthy and need to be on guard at all times, and I have long remembered that I have my own way out."

One of the founders of the 'Rat Council' was confident.

Arthur was a little tempted to ask the other party what was going on with this passage.

However, in order to maintain the status of the 'Credos family', he could only smile and nod.

Seeing this smile, Losec was startled.

No way!

His 'secret passages' have all been discovered?!

But if you think about it, it's really possible to be discovered!

Otherwise, why would you be blocked by the other party!

Moreover, from beginning to end, the other party was so calm and relaxed!

Thinking of this, Losek saluted Arthur again-

"Thank you for your magnanimity!"

With that, he picked up Albers and left.

But as he passed by Arthur, the young man stopped abruptly and looked at Arthur in a daze.

"Arthur, are we still friends?"

When he asked this, Albers choked up and looked like he was about to cry.

Arthur smiled and nodded.

"Of course!"

"Remember to write to me!"

Although the 'Rat Council' is finished, the superficial assets are naturally gone, but some 'invisible assets' will remain.

How could he let it go!

Hearing Arthur's affirmative words, Albers was finally relieved, and the young man smiled and wiped the corners of his eyes and followed his uncle away.

Arthur stood still and watched the figures of the two disappear into the distance, and then summoned two [Hands of Nothingness] to test whether there was any danger in them.

After confirming that there was no danger, he immediately asked the two [Hands of Nothingness] to pick up everything and return to 2 Kirk Street.

At the moment of entering the door, Arthur, who had endured all the way, rushed directly to check his loot.

The next moment, Arthur gasped.

Hiss!
