Arthur subconsciously shook his left hand.

At this moment, he felt that his left index finger was touching the water vapor coming out of the boiling kettle.

Scald!

This was Arthur's first feeling.

Subsequently, it is cool.

It's not the fingers that are cold, it's the back of the neck.

It's as if someone is standing behind him and blowing on his neck.

[Death Intuition] immediately began to flicker.

Arthur took a step forward, his body pressed against the door of the bathroom room, turned back sharply, and threw a hook.

This punch missed.

There was nothing behind Arthur, only the walls of the bathroom.

However, the temperature of the [Equalization Blood Ring] on Arthur's left index finger quickly decreased with this punch.

After just two breaths, it was back to its original state.

[Death Intuition] also stopped flickering at the same time.

And from beginning to end, nothing has changed behind him.

Or rather......

There was a change, but he couldn't see it.

The flicker of [Death Intuition] is the best proof of this!

Moreover, in his intuition, there was really something behind him just now - according to the mystical side, the higher the spirit, the more you should trust your intuition!

'Blood Ring of Equilibrium...... Equilibrium! Not immunity! ’

At this moment, Arthur had a deeper understanding of the [Balanced Blood Ring] and [Spirituality].

The increase in spirituality was even more dangerous than he had imagined.

When he only increased his spirituality by 0.1 before, the unknown weirdness he encountered still had a buffer time, and when he increased it by 0.1, there was no buffer time at all.

The danger is simply multiplied.

If he didn't have the [Blood Ring of Equilibrium], he would probably be in big trouble.

Even if you do everything, you may just barely survive.

Even, it's just the end of it.

Arthur, who survived the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his left hand and looked at the [Blood Ring of Equilibrium] on his index finger.

Unconsciously, he recalled the feeling of 'piping hot'.

He knew that 'piping hot' was the key to coping with spiritual increase.

'What's this piping hot?' ’

Arthur thought, but he had no way of knowing that the relevant alchemy knowledge was basically equal to nothing.

'Do you need to learn about alchemy?' ’

Arthur couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

He is no longer a mysterious Xiaobai, he knows very well how difficult it is to learn alchemy knowledge.

Knowledge is expensive.

And the knowledge of alchemy is priceless in a way.

Even if he was willing to sell the villa at No. 44 White Bird Street, it would be impossible to exchange for any alchemy knowledge.

Because—

Alchemy, only accept equivalent exchanges!

Moreover, even if you have the relevant knowledge of alchemy, if you want to complete an alchemy experiment, you need to do what you can, and if you are not careful, you will go bankrupt directly - this is not an exaggeration, the reason why those nobles in the Silver Age disappeared, except for a small number of mutual battles, most of them were because of their addiction to alchemy.

If you hate him, let him learn alchemy. ’

As for Potions?

That's another level.

Because, several well-known potions recipes are in the hands of several nobles, as the core inheritance of the family.

It was simply impossible to obtain potion recipes from these nobles.

Then there is only one possibility left -

Ruins to explore!

And this kind of luck and death behavior is unacceptable to most people, so there are more expeditions and mercenaries to go to the wilderness and unknown places.

It is precisely because most people can't accept the failure that the glory of success is born.

Arthur was very self-aware.

He understood that neither alchemy nor potions was something he could access now.

He needs to keep his feet on the ground now and take it one step at a time.

For example-

“Ei a ro！”

Knock, knock!

The mark on the palm of the heart was quickly filled with blood, and the mark immediately lit up, and the two [Hands of Nothingness] were taken off from the left and right hands, and it felt like they were still taking off woolen gloves.

This time, though, it's twice in a row.

Feel the difference between Lv4 [Hand of Nothingness] and the previous one.

Arthur feels that he is already running now, and it doesn't matter if he wants to maintain it for a short time, but it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time.

And then—

Arthur let the four Hands of Nothingness hold his arms and begin to force upwards.

Gradually, Arthur's feet slowly left the ground

'Yes! ’

Arthur's face could not hide his joy.

People always yearn for self-flight.

Arthur was no exception.

The next moment, though, Arthur was down to earth again.

Because, physical exertion!

If the four [Hands of Nothingness] under normal conditions are running, then the four [Hands of Nothingness] are running quickly when they hold him up.

''Flying' is only contingency! ’

'You have to strengthen your physique!' ’

Arthur thought as he checked the XP required for Lv5 [Hand of Nothingness].

300！

A little less than Arthur had imagined, he thought it would be 500 or more.

'Lv5, there should be another pair of [Hands of Nothingness]!

By that time I had six...... No, it's eight hands!

I said that I was the champion of South Los boxing, no one should object, right? ’

Arthur walked out of the bathroom with anticipation for the future.

In the office, Maltz, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at his partner with a somewhat complicated gaze.

"I know a private doctor who is very good at treating gastrointestinal diseases."

"Do you know why my grandfather lived to be 72 years old and was able to go out on his own to deal with some commissions?"

Arthur smiled at Maltz's suggestion.

"Why?"

Maltz looked curious.

"Because he's never been nosy!"

Arthur restrained his smile, finished with a straight face, picked up the cage containing Pendragon and walked out.

Maltz was stunned.

He was a little confused.

It's just gastrointestinal diseases, what is there to avoid.

Could it be hemorrhoids......

As if thinking of something, the sheriff's face became more serious than ever.

For any man, this is the most serious thing to do!

Even when he reached the tree-lined path, the seriousness of the sheriff's heart did not diminish at all, but it was hidden, but it still could not escape Arthur's eyes.

Arthur silently added another sum to Harris and Malinda - the partners chose their own and could not be replaced, but the person who took the blame could calculate a little more interest.

Then, in a slight silence, Arthur, Maltz, and a team of patrolmen carefully searched the boulevard for traces left by Truda—it would have been difficult in normal times, after all, the boulevard had tamped the ground, but yesterday's rainstorm had soaked the mud, and the carriage would have left a deep mark if it had been parked overnight.

Moreover, the tree-lined path leading to the spring water square is guarded by patrols, and ordinary people will not approach it at all.

Similarly, the wealthy people of Shiratori Neighborhood rarely leave their villas in the morning.

Therefore, the mark must be extremely conspicuous.

In fact, the same is true.

As soon as they entered the tree-lined path, Arthur and his party saw only the wheel prints of a carriage.

Undoubtedly, the traces of this carriage are most likely Truda's.

Then, following the wheel prints left by the carriage, the crowd quickly confirmed that this was the trace left by Truda's carriage.

The marks left by the wheel sag are all too obvious.

However, to everyone's surprise, the traces of the Truda carriage were only in the original location, that is, in the middle of the tree-lined path - too close to the spring square would be driven away by the patrolmen, and if you were close to Garden Street, it would be a waste of time to pick up the goods in the morning.

So, the middle of the boulevard is just right.

However, to pick up the goods, you need to enter the Shiratori neighborhood, and you must drive in the direction of the spring water square.

However, there is no trace in the direction of the spring square, let alone wheel prints, not even footprints, it is very smooth, as if Truda got up in the car in the morning, the pick-up was completed, and he could go directly to the delivery.

It's incredible!

The patrolmen scratched their heads, wondering why.

"Those mannequins aren't going to get into the car on their own, are they?"

"Could it be the revenant?"

The patrolmen muttered, at first only speculating at understanding the situation, but as they spoke, the patrolmen's faces began to turn slightly pale.

Hearing such words, Maltz was stunned for a moment, and then smiled lightly.

Revenant?

That's great!

The sheriff immediately looked at Arthur and asked very firmly-

"Arthur, you must already know what's going on, right?"
