Arthur's left index finger trembled slightly, and the [Rat King's Crown] made a crisp and pleasant sound.

The young 'spirit medium' looked down and saw that most of the descriptions of the [Rat King's Crown] had not changed at all, only the [Remarks] and the attribute [Natural Enemy] had changed-

[Notes: One of the twenty-seven props of Hercule, Isidore accidentally obtained it in a ruin near South Los, when the box containing the 'Rat King's Crown' was marked with the number 27, and at the same time there was a cat playing with a little mouse - it was at the end of the Holy Empire, before the 'Black Plague' was raging and the rat infestation was infested, Herk was attacked by rats, and one morning Helke woke up from a sound sleep in the field camp to find that his breakfast included not limited to cheese, sausages, After the bread was stolen by the rats, the alchemist and potions master decided to teach these little things a lesson, so he made this ring and added the attribute of 'natural enemies' - one natural enemy scared out of guts, two natural enemies scared souls, meow ~ hiss ~ and hehe......]

……

[Natural Enemies: When facing the 'Cat Hole', 'Cat Pie', and 'Snake Pie', using any 'Rat King's Crown' attribute will double the physical consumption, but when the 'Cat Cave', 'Cat Pie', and 'Snake Pie' hold the 'Rat King's Crown', the demand will be reduced by half, and the consumption will be reduced by half, and when the 'Rat Swarm' special effect, food is not required, and the spiritual possession will also be reduced by half; When the Serpent Appears at the same time as the Rat King's Crown, the Rat Swarm trait will be greatly enhanced, and there will be no need to provide food or use Spirits, and the Rat Swarm will be more obedient! 】

……

Arthur saw the new changes and immediately began to try to command the rats on Kirk Street.

The rats were obedient to Arthur's simpler commands, but when the commands became complicated, the rats became a little overwhelmed.

'Does it have to be a straight order?' ’

Arthur was not surprised by this.

It's just a bunch of ordinary rats, and it's impossible to be as powerful as Pendragon, Fokin, Fogni, and Kuliqi.

The latter is an arcane creature, and is more than one level above the former.

Of course, the former, if used correctly, will be far more powerful than the latter.

Quantitative change always leads to qualitative change.

The 'Black Plague' is the best proof of this.

Thinking to himself, the young 'psychic' glanced at the [Remarks] of the [Rat King's Crown] again.

Emmm……

How so?

It's very much in line with the style of Herke's master.

If someone else made the Rat King's Crown because their breakfast was stolen, Arthur would have thought it was ridiculous, but it was on Herke, the master.

Arthur thought it made sense.

After all, this is a master who invented the [Hand of Nothingness] to free his hands for laziness, invented the [Stone Bullet Technique] in order to win the battle with the children, and was inspired to go skating on the lake to save more effort, so he invented the [Sliding Technique].

In a way, there were too many accidents in this master.

Or rather......

It's a miracle!

He is worthy of being revered as the 'God of Alchemy and Potions'! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, and after letting the rats disperse, he took out the 'Cat's Claw', one of the core secret techniques of the 'Cat Cave', from the [Athos Box].

Master Herke deserves respect and care.

However, the strength still needs to be increased.

Life is always your own.

And if you want to live well, you have to be strong.

It takes 100 XP to learn 'Cat's Paw' lv1, and Arthur's XP at the moment, after so many days of accumulation, has reached 220 points again - with the aftermath of many events, Arthur's daily passive accumulation of XP has a good number, and Arthur believes that after dawn, as the matter of 'guiding souls into the place of eternal rest' spreads, his XP will skyrocket.

This time, it didn't even need to be published in the newspaper to spread quickly.

Arthur trusts the power of the residents, servants, and peepers of White Bird Street - the more seemingly secret things are, the easier it is to spread.

Because curiosity is human nature.

And when one passes it on to another person and says, 'We're good friends, I'm just going to tell you one, you have to keep it a secret,' it means that in just half an hour, at least ten people will know about it, and then over time, ten people will become a thousand, and a thousand people will become tens of thousands.

This rate of spread will be faster than the plague.

'I'm really looking forward to it! ’

The thought of how more mysterious people would react to this incident made Arthur feel a sense of joy after the prank was successful - according to Malinda's reaction at the time, most people would think of 'Cat Pie. Black', which laid the groundwork for the 'revelation' of his true identity.

When his true identity was revealed, everyone was stunned.

Even, if that Garcia was smart enough, he would definitely take advantage of this incident.

And is Garcia smart?

Very smart!

Smarter than the vast majority of people Arthur has ever met!

So, he just has to wait-

Call!

Arthur took a few deep breaths, completely suppressed his thoughts, and began to choose to learn 'cat's paw'-

[Cat's Claw Lv1: The cat's best weapon is its own claw, as one of the core secret techniques of the 'Cat Cave', 'Cat's Claw' is a secret technique that all official members of the 'Cat Cave' must master, it will not only exercise the fingers, but also exercise the toes, making it more advantageous and sharp, but it must be based on the 'Cat Cave' ceremony, otherwise irreversible mutations will occur]

[Effect: Sharp Lv1]

[Sharp Lv1: Under the powerful pinching force, your fingers and toes are as sharp as ordinary blades]

……

When Arthur's familiar knowledge began to be in tune with his body, Arthur squinted his eyes and clearly felt a clear pain coming from the muscles and bones of his two palms and feet.

Then, the muscles of the palms and soles of the feet began to tear, and the bones entered a state of microfracture.

The rapid flushing of blood then reduces inflammation for the muscles and speeds up recovery, while bone cells repair microfractures by adding calcium to the outer layer of bone.

After three years of repeating this cycle, the muscles and bones become tighter, harder, and sharper.

Arthur's eyes seemed to see himself in an impermeable secret room, and he kept grabbing the throat and joints of the wooden man with his hands and feet.

Each blow makes the wood man splinter with sawdust.

By the time it stopped, the wooden figures had already shattered into rotten wood.

But this did not satisfy Arthur.

The next moment, Arthur's eyes suddenly opened, and he jumped up directly, his hands and feet jumped out like snakes, and grabbed the air in front of him at various incredible angles.

Snort, snort, snort!

Even when wearing gloves and boots, the sound of breaking the air still gives people a sharp feeling.

In particular, the blessing of [Black Cat's Boots] on [Cat's Claw] caused Arthur's feet to pass through the stone ceiling, leaving a shallow trace, as if he had been slashed by a sword.

This time, Arthur was satisfied.

The young 'medium' whispered to himself—

"Snake cat's claws?

No!

The serpentine trick is right! ”

Saying something that only he knew, the young 'medium' looked at the rest of the secret techniques with a smile.
