They all call me Great Master-Chapter 457 - 454: Spirit Medium Speeds Through the Ruins as a ’Shaman’!

South Los, Docklands, underground ruins.

When thick rings of smoke appeared out of thin air, Urs and his subordinates immediately stood up.

They were all too familiar with their lord’s abilities.

And the "Storm Sword" party followed closely behind.

However, this exploration team, including "Storm Sword" Deljo, all felt some trepidation.

Messing up on their first assignment could easily lead to doubts about their abilities.

If it had been before, the "Storm Sword" party wouldn’t have cared, but after Arthur’s promise, they really were worried.

It was simply because Arthur had offered enough.

So, don’t complain about your employees not working hard enough or being idle.

If there are such complaints, it proves that what you’re offering isn’t enough.

As long as you offer enough, employees will always bring you even more in return.

Just like Deljo at this moment—

’No!

We can’t continue like this!

Perhaps...

I should be able to tell the lord about those two ruins!’

Thinking this, Deljo’s gaze turned to his deputy.

Adi instantly understood what his captain meant.

After a moment’s thought, the deputy nodded.

The situation was already unfavourable to them; if they didn’t show some value soon, they would only fall further behind.

After all, it was they who needed Arthur, not the other way around.

In the midst of the smoke, two figures appeared hand in hand.

"My lord!"

"My lord!"

On both sides of the smoke, Arthur’s and Marinda’s people bowed and greeted them.

Marinda nodded in acknowledgment. She didn’t want to say more; the sensation of an upset stomach was just too uncomfortable, while Arthur looked at Marinda with a bit of surprise.

He had expected Marinda to retch at least once.

’Is she getting used to it?’

The young Spirit Medium thought to herself, her gaze then shifting to "Storm Sword" Deljo.

"My lord, I’m sorry, I..."

"Deljo, this has nothing to do with you.

After all, nobody could have imagined that the owner of these ruins would come up with something as exaggerated as the Gate of Life and Death 3000."

Arthur said with a smile and a wave of his hand, his eyes gentle, his tone mild.

This caused all members of the "Storm Sword" exploration team to breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Little Winna, who patted her chest with a look of having narrowly passed through.

Edwina looked at Arthur with apologies filled in her eyes.

Arthur’s smile remained, his expression unchanged.

Suddenly, the "Storm Sword" exploration team’s favorability began to rise rapidly.

Who wouldn’t like a kind-hearted boss?

Especially when that boss was powerful, influential, and generous.

As Marinda walked towards Urs to report the specifics, Deljo also approached Arthur immediately—

"My lord, I have information on two ruins."

The "Storm Sword" spoke in a lowered voice.

Immediately, Arthur understood the intention behind his words.

There was no doubt that the big promise he had made was working.

"Leave everything to you; these two missions will still count as part of the three in the contract. If you need it, inform me in advance, and I will dispatch people to assist you."

Arthur didn’t inquire further, showing a trust in his use of others.

In fact, what Arthur valued most was the XP the "Storm Sword" team generated for him while exploring the ruins.

As for the items inside the ruins?

If there were any, all the better.

If not, it didn’t matter.

Therefore, Arthur didn’t mind appearing more like a qualified, excellent, and lovable boss.

"Your kindness is as admirable as your power!

Thank you for your trust in us!

Please rest assured, this time we will complete the mission perfectly!"

"Storm Sword" Deljo made his pledge.

The exploration team behind him nodded in agreement.

And Marinda, watching from a distance, secretly curled her lip at Arthur.

This lady knew that Arthur, the scoundrel, was trying to buy people’s hearts.

Yet, such kindness was indeed unexpected.

Why be so petty with me?

Could it be...

’Using the profits obtained by haggling over every penny with me to subsidize his own team?’

When this thought emerged at the bottom of Marinda’s heart, the lady narrowed her eyes.

Because she felt it was true.

Subconsciously, the lady started feeling agitated and instinctively reached for her pipe.

But when it was almost at her lips, she restrained herself.

Even if it’s an act!

It must be genuine!

With this thought, the lady began to adjust her emotions with her breath.

Urs, who was standing by, was stunned.

As Marinda’s earliest subordinate, this Head Hunter was well aware of what temper his superior had, she was clearly angry with Lord Kledos just a moment ago.

But she held back?

Shouldn’t she have gone up and struck with her knife?

How could she hold back?

And she even refrained from smoking her pipe!

It was simply incredible!

Could this be love?

Urs pondered this in his heart, but he didn’t dare to ask.

His superior might spare Lord Kledos because of love, but when it came to stabbing him, she would certainly not hesitate.

Thus, the Head Hunter shrank his neck and stood there, doing his best to reduce his presence.

That was until the smiling Arthur came over and greeted him—

"Hello, are you Urs?

Marinda said you have strong archery skills, and you’re good at tracking.

I have wanted to have such talent since I was little.

At one point years ago, I even dreamed of becoming an outstanding Hunter."

Arthur’s amicable words quickly won over the Head Hunter’s favor.

"With your Talent, whatever you wish to achieve, you can easily reach it. If you want to learn archery, we can go out together when the Hunting season starts."

Urs responded.

"Of course! I’m looking forward to it!"

Arthur immediately nodded, his face growing more eager.

It seemed he was truly looking forward to the start of the Hunting season.

Marinda gave Arthur a stare.

It meant you’ve done enough.

If you keep this act up, it’ll be daylight soon.

After giving Marinda a slight smile in return, Arthur did not waste words and headed straight into the corridor that leads to the Gate of Life and Death 3000.

Immediately, whether it was Urs and the others, or the ’Storm Sword’ squad, including Marinda, everyone’s gaze followed him.

They all wanted to know how Arthur would solve the Gate of Life and Death 3000.

It should be Divination, right?

Many people thought so.

Because Arthur’s identity as a Spirit Medium had taken deep root in people’s hearts.

Thus, many were waiting for Arthur to bring out the Crystal Ball and begin the Divination.

About such Divination, everyone was curious.

Divinations by others were naturally fake.

But Arthur’s would certainly be different.

It would be a Divination with real power.

All thought so, Marinda included.

The lady widened her eyes, not wanting to miss a tiny bit of the process—she believed that observing Arthur’s Divination would benefit her own bone Divination.

But the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Because—

Arthur did not perform Divination, nor did he bring out any Crystal Ball; instead, he simply stood the staff with a carving of Pendragon’s head upright before him.

The next moment, as Arthur’s palm left, the staff fell straight down, the head pointing in a direction.

Arthur glanced at the direction the staff head was pointing and raised his hand to point.

"This way!"
