When the kitchen boiler was filled with ignited firewood and charcoal, the temperature in 2 Kirk Street began to climb rapidly to a temperature that was comfortable for Arthur and Pendragon.

By the time Arthur had put Ms. Anna away, Pendragon had already burrowed into his cat's nest.

By the time Arthur came out of the kitchen with a cup of hot cocoa, Pendragon was already asleep.

glanced enviously at his orange cat and turned on the kerosene lamp in the psychic hall.

Arthur begins to count the loot he has received from Harris.

The loot is divided into three parts in total.

Part I, Gold.

Part II, Notes.

The third part, the occult arts.

Part IV, Props.

Arthur's first inventory was gold, not that gold was more important than notes and secret techniques, but that gold was more obvious at a glance - 1 pound of gold bars were neatly stacked in those two boxes, a full 400 of them!

Based on 1 gold coin and 2 grams, this is 100,000 gold coins.

In anyone's hands, it is an asset that cannot be ignored.

Moreover, this is already the number that Arthur left 10 gold bars for the [Delicate Golem] just in case.

'Harris is so bold that he has really cut off Isidore's wealth!

Tut!

Sure enough, in South Los Angeles, the old lion of the inner bay is the best back-stabber! ’

Although he had expected it, when he actually saw the 400 gold bars, Arthur was still surprised by Harris's boldness.

Without hesitation, Arthur picked up the notebook.

He hoped to find some answers.

And the results did not disappoint Arthur.

This notebook, although it is mainly an experimental notebook, is also mixed with some things that Arthur cares about-

Dad actually chose to work with those guys!

Those guys are jackals!

It won't end well!

I had to convince my father!

……

My father's stubbornness was beyond my expectations, we already had the strength to live here comfortably, so why risk it because of one of my grandfather's experiments?

I don't understand!

……

The father returned, and the jackals were killed.

Father eats black.

I was shocked, I never thought my father would do such a thing.

My father and I had a big fight and left the house for a while

……

Three years later, when I returned home, my father was still the same as before, and didn't say much about my return, except to take me to the laboratory and let me participate in the 'Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique' experiment.

Only then did I know the greatness of my grandfather!

……

The 'Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique' is too strong!

Better than any secret art I know!

It's just that my father looked at me a little strangely, it seemed to be ......

Eat one's heart out?

No!

How could my father be jealous of me!

I must have read it wrong!

……

I've completed the second stage of the 'Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique', and I can already easily draw the dark energy that corrupts everything from the shadows.

It's really an offensive and defensive one.

But in the third stage, I had no clue.

And the father's gaze became more and more strange.

……

Today is my 29th birthday, and my father proposed to celebrate it.

I drank and had a great day.

……

Experiment 17 was far more talented than I had ever imagined.

This kind of blood will definitely help me.

……

No effect!

Why is it not effective?

I've drunk all his blood!

That's right!

There must not be enough blood!

I need more experiments!

……

Damn, are those 'hunters' crazy?

I've already left 'Duddlete', why are you still chasing me?

You forced me!

……

No, you have to stay away from Baron Novia!

The 'leprosy' of that bastard of the Dead Poets Society is terrible, and I have to leave, but those 'hunters' will die!

Hahaha!

……

Oh, South Los!

Charming South Los!

With a large enough population, a few fewer will be fine, right?

No way!

Be careful, that countess is terrible.

……

Ha, look what I found!

Rat Street!

A place that exactly fits my needs!

This must be heaven!

I'm sure I'll be able to complete the 'Extreme Illusion Shadow Technique'!

……

Damn, test subjects 18-29 have all failed!

Do you still have to look for a test subject with 'talent'?

……

Test Items 30-47 Failed!

……

Losec seems to have discovered my experiment, and if he dares to talk too much, I'll kill him.

……

Eventually, the third stage was successful, and I was able to move freely through the shadows, but it was too close and I needed to work hard to complete the fifth stage.

……

Blood! Blood!

It's bloodline again!

I need to find a bloodline that can react to the shadows as a backstop!

Before I can do that, though, I need to find a way to restrain my emotions from getting out of control!

No!

It's not emotional out-of-control!

I'm just in a bit of a hurry!

……

Well? 'Shadow Serpent' Siudik actually came to Srattail Alley.

His bloodline seems to do.

……

The deal with 'Shadow Serpent' Siudik was a pleasure.

The other party is far easier to deal with than rumored.

The opponent's blood is also effective against the 'Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique'.

……

Damn, why are the people of the Forty-Six Tower investigating me?

……

Siudik, I'm going to kill you!

……

It's all sealed!

……

Hey, that guy is going to sell this thing?

Could it be a trap?

……

Harris's notes were unusually messy, especially interspersed with many experimental notes, which made Arthur have to spend more time searching for information.

Has this guy also been devoured by 'spirituality'?

Or is it the backlash of the secret technique called 'Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique'? ’

Arthur glanced at the sky that had lit up, stretching and guessing in his heart.

He is too familiar with the other party's way of recording, and there is a 'toad' Gramm's style between the lines.

And, even crazier than Gramm.

It's just that they got along twice, but the other party didn't show it.

Have you found a way to control your emotions? ’

Arthur's gaze looked at the booklet next to him that recorded secret techniques.

He is more concerned with occult techniques than with methods of controlling emotions.

Arthur is quite coveted by Harris's ability to weave through the shadows - if he masters this secret technique, his life-saving ability will increase in a straight line.

And he has the Dark Serpent!

However, the incomplete marking of [Dark Snake] made Arthur not feel at ease.

Therefore, Arthur appeared cautious when picking up the arcane notebook.

[Discovery of Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique (Remnant), Judgment ......]

[Possess the 'Dark Serpent. Remnant' bloodline, judgment passed! 】

[Do you consume 300 XP to learn the Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique?] 】

……

'Lv1 only needs 300 XP?'

Moreover, it's still a secret technique for bloodlines, and it won't be a core inheritance of nobles that has disappeared, right?

And who is that guy?

Can't you just write your name? ’

Arthur touched his chin and thought.

At this stage, of course, he can't learn the [Extreme Illusion True Shadow Technique. But soon, when the [Cat Orange] ceremony is completed, everything will be on the agenda.

With that in mind, Arthur picked up the prop from Harris's booty.

Something that has the shape of a kerosene lamp—

【Name:Warning Oil Lamp】

[Type: Other types of items]

【Quality: Secret Method】

[Attributes: 1, bright; 2. Vigilance]

[Note: During the Seven Years' War, one of the favorite items of the great nobles of the West Coast during the winter war in the North County could not only bring light, but also keep the tent warm, and at the same time be a reliable sentinel - when the nobles of the East Coast found this item, they immediately copied it, but unlike the original, the imitation could not keep warm and could not summon the 'Shadow Sentinel']

……

[Bright: The basic function of oil lamps, however, will be brighter than ordinary oil lamps]

[Vigilance: With the oil lamp placed as a dot, it will be on alert within a radius of 50 meters, and when a creature breaks in, it will be discovered by the oil lamp placer, and the appearance of the intruder will be recorded. 】

……

"Nice props!"

Arthur commented pertinently, even if the [Alert Oil Lamp] is incomplete, unable to keep warm, and unable to summon the 'Lamp Shadow Sentinel', but only the basic [Vigilance] is still enough.

Immediately, Arthur turned on the [Vigilance Oil] special effect of [Vigilance Oil Lamp].

Subsequently, the entire Kirk Street 2 was enveloped.

In the next moment, more than a dozen faces were transmitted back.

And when he saw one of them, the corners of Arthur's mouth curled, and his heart was full of excitement-

'It's finally here!' ’
