The next moment, the curtain of the makeshift tent was raised, and Julie, the swordsman of the Count of Nanlos, who was far beyond the limits of ordinary people, walked in with a smile.

There was joy in that smile.

There's still a hint of ......

Odd!

And, as soon as he entered the tent, the swordsman's eyes were fixed on Arthur, who was lying there.

'Huh?

What's going on with this guy? ’

Malinda squinted her pipe, glanced at Arthur, and then looked straight behind the swordsman—three cloaked men walked in under the cover of his tall, muscular figure.

Little Lisopp!

Even with the cover of the cloak, Malinda confirmed the identity of the other party the moment she saw the person in charge.

How did the other party come to South Los?

In an instant, the woman's mind was full of thoughts.

You know, last night Nanzhen encountered an event that can be called a 'disaster'.

Lord Lisope was stabbed.

South Town was also a mess.

This morning, her spies told her in detail that more than half of the buildings in Nanzhen were blown up and burned, and the miners and residents who died were initially estimated to be at least 500 people.

With such a premise, it is impossible for little Lithop to leave Southtown.

Even if little Lithop does not have the right to inherit the title of Lord Lithop.

However, little Lithop really inherited the coal and iron mine!

In order for the minerals to be mined smoothly in the future, it is necessary to make a show.

Unless......

Title!

Little Lithop inherited the title!

Almost instantly, Malinda guessed the answer.

The little Lithop in front of him exchanged the proceeds of the coal and iron ore part for the inheritance of the title...... No, it's hereditary!

'Completely fallen to the Count of South Los?'

That old lion is going to be glaring in anger, right? ’

The lady thought to herself, her eyes filled with more doubts.

After coming to Nanlos to meet the Earl, little Lithop was given a hereditary title, which is a normal process, so why come to see Arthur?

In the lady's puzzled gaze, the chief swordsman of the Count of Nanlos spoke—

"Your Excellency Lord Lithop, I think the rest of the words will be up to you to say it yourself, after all, the future of the Lithop family is at stake."

With these words, the swordsman stepped aside.

It's just that looking at Arthur's gaze is getting more and more strange.

The 'Whale Slashing Sword' Consion on the side also moved his body silently, giving up the center of the tent to Arthur and Little Lithorp.

And then......

The eyelids of this 'Whale Slashing Sword' Kang Sion began to beat rapidly.

Because, little Lithop, who took off his hood, fell directly on one knee in front of Arthur.

"Your Excellency!"

Calling Arthur in his mouth, little Lithop's face was filled with chagrin, remorse, and helplessness.

There was even a cry in the young lord's voice—

"Your reminders several times yesterday were maliciously speculated by me, but as a result, it caused irreparable damage to Nanzhen, and my father was assassinated.

Having inherited the Nanzhen Coal and Iron Mine, I was not only panicked, but also full of anxiety.

So, I prayed to the Earl for a hereditary title and domain in Southtown with 20% of the coal and iron ore, and I thought I needed to make the Nanlos family complete.

However, I know that I am incompetent, I am too young, I am too blind and arrogant.

So......

I ask you to take care of everything in Southtown. ”

Listening to the words of little Lithop, the 'Whale Slashing Sword' Consien's brain was buzzing.

What's going on?

Why can't I understand?

Because of his inner turmoil, he exchanged Nanzhen's coal and iron ore for Nanzhen's hereditary rights, and then, feeling that he was incapacitated, he gave Nanzhen to Arthur?

This, this, this?

What's the picture?

Is Arthur your dad?

Are you so filial?

'Whale Slayer' Consion never doubted Arthur's strength and ability, and from the time he honored Arthur as a master, this 'Whale Slayer' recognized Arthur.

However, the 'Whale Slasher' never expected to witness such a thing.

Shouldn't this kind of thing only exist in picture albums?

Shouldn't it just be a legend?

Huh!

It seems that there really is such a legend!

Isn't it true that the founder of the legendary empire also arrived at a place, and someone came to him with soldiers, food and grass, and begged the young man to take him in and be willing to give him the land?

But legends are legends, but seeing is believing.

How can this be compared?

'A master is a master!' ’

In the end, the 'Whale Slashing Sword' Consion let out such an exclamation, and the gaze that looked at Arthur was no longer convincing, but reverent.

This 'whale sword' has an inexplicable feeling that he seems to have witnessed history.

And Malinda's blue eyes on the side also flashed with surprise.

When?

When did Arthur gain the allegiance of Lithop Jr.?

Moreover, it is not ordinary allegiance, but die-hard loyalty!

Otherwise, how could little Lithop give the territory to Arthur!

Could it be the time last night when I left under the pretext of 'meditation'?

Impossible, right?

One or two hours can turn a person into a diehard, even the 'lion pack' of old lions can't do it, right?

No wonder Julie has that expression! ’

Malinda thought to herself, and the tobacco in her pipe burned faster.

Like the swordsman, Malinda's gaze at Arthur had become strange at this moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, Arthur slowly sat up.

The young 'psychic medium' raised his hand to help little Lisopp up, and motioned for the other party to sit beside him, and then said slowly-

"Little Lithop, I appreciate your trust.

However, I am just a 'medium'.

I'm not good at managing a territory.

Even, if you ask me to manage a manor, I need the help of a professional butler, and I must delegate carte blanche to them.

Otherwise......

It's just chickens flying and dogs jumping, and it's a mess. ”

Arthur's tone was slow, and his voice was even gentle, which immediately made the words more modest.

Malinda, however, pouted.

'Hypocrisy, after saying so much, doesn't he have to accept it 'reluctantly' in the end?

Hmph, I've seen through you! ’

The lady hummed inwardly.

And in fact, as the lady expected.

"I'd like to try, though."

Listening to these words, there was no surprise that the Countess's swordsmanship, the 'Whale Slasher' Consion, the chief guard and swordsmanship chief of Little Lithop, and the hunter chief Rashid.

They all thought the same thing as Malinda, and thought that this was how it should be.

But......

I felt a little regret in my heart.

They thought they would see something different in Arthur.

At least, that's what they thought before.

And now?

It's just to be expected.

Only little Lithop was different, the young lord looked at his loving father with burning eyes.

'If my father were in charge of Southtown, would he have lived in Southtown Manor?'

If yes, great!

I can listen to my father's teachings every day! ’

Thinking in his heart, little Lithop immediately said-

"You must have no problem, you ......"

"Me?

No, no, no!

I didn't say it was me! ”

Arthur smiled and waved his hand, interrupting little Lithop.

Then, Arthur looked at Malinda with infinite tenderness and love in his eyes—

"Honey, can you help me manage Southtown?"
