When you have the initiative, you might as well be bold.

In the face of strangers, offer high prices.

When facing acquaintances, open a higher price.

This is still said by old Charlie, and Arthur thinks deeply - they all have the initiative, which means that they are about to have everything.

As for why you open a higher price when facing acquaintances?

Arthur didn't understand at that time, and asked Old Charlie very suspiciously.

When old Charlie faced this question, he sighed helplessly.

'Moral compensation! ’

At that time, Arthur still didn't understand, but old Charlie didn't explain more.

And now Arthur, of course, understands-

As long as you collect money from an acquaintance, whether you lose money or make a profit, the acquaintance thinks that you have earned, which will make them feel uncomfortable.

If you meet someone with a lower price than you, it will be even more doomed, and acquaintances will only scold you for not being authentic.

However, they never care about quality or reliability, they just look at the price.

But if you go to a stranger's store, they don't pay much attention to the price, and they only care about the quality of the store.

There is quite an illusion that when you fall in love with a rich man, you don't care about money, you need spiritual support, and when you fall in love with a poor boy, you don't care about spiritual support, you want money.

Maybe this is 'business', not 'familiarity'! ’

Arthur muttered in his heart that he only knew, and his eyes looked at Consion in front of him.

After hearing Arthur's categorical refusal, the 'Whale Slashing Sword' Kang Sion did not have annoyance on his face, nor did he have any surprise in his eyes, but sighed softly-

"Sure enough, 'nobles can't be trusted'!

Initially, when I contacted the 'Baron Collore', he said that he would only need 10w gold to give me a copy of the 'Ranked' map.

Just as I was trying to find a way to raise money, the other party suddenly contacted me and said that as long as I did him a favor, he could give me a better 'Entry' map!

It's clear that this bastard is using their knowledge of the blockade to squeeze me!

But you don't, master!

You just honestly rejected me, but you didn't think to deceive me!

Your sincerity is enough to show that you are a true master!

Moreover, Master, the 'Ranked' Atlas in your hand must be better than that bastard noble's!

Please teach me!

As long as it's not death or slavery, I'll accept it! ”

Consion said as he bowed to Arthur sincerely.

More than one kind of atlas?

And the good and the bad?

As Consion bowed, Arthur quickly compiled the information.

And when Consion straightened up, Arthur continued to speak indifferently.

"Do you know where I came from?"

"Where are you from?"

Consion looked confused.

The 'Sword Fighting Competition' has only arrived in Nanlos today, and the news about Arthur has only been heard from the squire of the 'Baron Cloor' on the way.

Naturally, not comprehensively.

No!

Certainly not comprehensive!

And those cunning nobles must have hidden the most crucial news!

"I'm 'Cat Pie. Black's contemporary 'black cat'! ”

Arthur said frankly, this secret is no longer a secret.

With Garcia's 'propaganda', at this moment, Nanlos can know the news as long as he investigates carefully.

As for the Consion in front of him, why didn't he investigate?

Most likely, you have absolute confidence in yourself!

The other party didn't think that with his 'Great Arcana-level' strength, he would meet an opponent in the 'Sword Fighting Competition' - even if the contestant had the same 'aristocratic privileges' as him, 'changed his age, origin' and so on.

In fact, the same is true.

In any part of the southern county, the 'Great Arcana Class' represents a force to be reckoned with, as long as it is not faced with some 'great nobles', no one will care about the king of the mountain.

It's like Consion's Whale Island, that's it.

Therefore, Consion never thought that a 'sword competition' would meet an 'advanced one', and originally thought that the biggest opponent of this 'sword competition' was 'Tempest Sword' Del Jo.

Hiss!

Amid Arthur's distinctly audible gasp, a sudden look appeared on Consion's face.

"No wonder there's the power of death in between, and that's the 'Cat Pie. Is the 'black' 'quiet'?

No wonder you can't teach me!

Depending on the initial ritual, the advanced 'atlas' is naturally different, although it can also be used, but it will cause a lot of trouble later, and some will cause irreversible damage! ”

Looking at the abruptness on Consion's face, Arthur sat there without moving, and said secretly in his heart-

Sure enough!

The ceremony is related to the subsequent 'atlas'!

What will be the follow-up map of the ritual [Cat Orange]?

Big orange self-portrait?

Or is it a big orange eating picture? ’

After teasing himself, Arthur quickly became serious.

When Consion said the 'Atlas', Arthur was wondering if the 'Atlas' was closely related to the ritual of the 'gifted' stepping into the 'mysterious side'.

The answer is neither good nor bad.

Different ceremonies can also be mixed with 'atlases'.

However, there is a price to pay.

Moreover, it is certainly not as perfect as it is in the same vein.

Even, it is impossible to go one step further again.

And this is what the nobles and the major forces want!

They need to keep the 'mystical people' who are not in their 'circle' always one level lower than them-

'Is knowledge interconnected, yet blocked?'

What an effective means! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, but there was no anxiety.

With his current situation, there are too many breakthroughs to make up for this.

Needless to say, Count of South Los.

The remaining three of the four barons of South Los.

And in addition to the aristocracy, there are also some forces that deserve attention.

Moreover, he also has this biggest advantage, he is 'already an advanced player' - as long as this is there, he has the initiative and the room to operate.

Arthur's mind was racing, and he had a lot of ideas.

And Consion on the other side also made a decision.

"Master, your character and strength have completely impressed me!

I hope you can lend a helping hand to Whale Island - because there is a 'General of the West Sea' among the pirates of the West Sea, and the pirates of the East Sea are not willing to be lonely, and they will also hold a 'Pirate Gathering' next year's 'Summer Day', when the offshore and ocean trade will be affected.

But first and foremost are our immovable islands.

These pirates will raid everything they see like locusts crossing the border.

But if there is a 'Tier', it is different!

The prestige of the 'Ranked' is enough to intimidate them! ”

Consion has changed its strategy.

After confirming that he could not become an 'Enter' in a short period of time, the 'Whale Slayer' immediately chose to hire an 'Rank' to go to Whale Island.

If other people's words, this 'whale slashing sword' is not at ease.

But Arthur?

This 'Whale Slashing Sword' is absolutely reassuring.

It is not only the character that Arthur is showing now that impresses this 'whale sword', but also because of the reputation of the previous generation of 'black cats' - who doesn't know the arrogance of the previous generation of 'black cats'.

How can the successor of such a character be bad?

At least don't worry about the magpie's nest.

When other 'Beginners' went to Whale Island, Consion was terrified, but if Arthur went to Whale Island, Consion was relieved.

"I am willing to use all my savings to invite you to a vacation to Whale Island.

Of course, in order to hang the banner of the 'Credos family' more justifiably, Whale Island will have 30% of your income in the future. ”

As he spoke, the 'Whale Slashing Sword' Consion stood up and saluted.

This time, it's no longer about bowing.

Rather, he knelt on one knee and raised the sword with both hands on the door -

"Waves and waves, winds and thunder!

I swear by the sword in my hand that from this day forward, I will defend the reputation, interests, and territory of those before me with my sword, and will fight to the death with those who are in front of me.

My vows will be spread above the sea!

Never change! ”

Almost without giving Arthur a chance to refuse, Consion began to take the oath.

Unlike the oath of the 'Lionheart'.

It is also different from an ordinary oath.

This time it's the 'Gift of the Sea'!

With Consion's [spiritual] agitation, Arthur can easily sense the movements of the person in front of him—although not as intimate as the 'Lionheart', but also has corresponding constraints.

Arthur had just the right amount of helplessness on his face.

And when he saw the helplessness on Arthur's face, Consion immediately rejoiced in his heart-

Sure enough, people have to be shameless!

This......

Earn big! ’

Then, the 'Whale Slayer' got up, leaned over to Arthur's side, and whispered—

"Master, do we want to make a big ticket?"
