They all call me Great Master-Chapter 752 - 749 Foolish Touch I

In front of Arthur, characters known only to him were flickering rapidly—

[Having fermented overnight, your wisdom, agility, and kindness had spread throughout Seberlin, your name appearing even in the surrounding territories; and under the promotion of the Marquess of West Berlin's eldest daughter, the commoners and merchants at Port Doldot became increasingly grateful toward you; XP+6000]

[Even more people heard your name: XP+1100]

...

Just as Arthur had predicted, the acquisition of XP had remained efficient.

Looking at the XP which still stood at 18,300 points, Arthur was filled with anticipation.

He knew he was about to encounter an even greater surge of XP.

Even beyond what he had anticipated.

After all...

The Old Lion would not sit idly by!

'You better not disappoint me!'

The young Southern Lost Spirit Medium muttered to himself from the depths of his heart.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in the 'Lion Palace,' an old man with white hair and beard was rubbing his temples and forehead—his thumbs were on his temples, and his index fingers were side by side on his forehead, rhythmically kneading in a clockwise direction, muttering under his breath.

"I just knew it! I just knew it!"

While speaking these words, the old man with the white hair opened his eyes.

Hum!

The air trembled as the old man opened his eyes, as if a sharp long knife had cleaved through the air.

The guards stationed inside the bedroom of the Lion Palace felt the arrival of this knife, and despite being veterans, they instinctively wanted to dodge, but they simply could not.

Because—

It was too fast!

It was unimaginably fast!

Pu pu pu!

Amid the sounds of blades cutting through flesh, all the guards in the bedroom of the Lion Palace, including the Hidden Guards, were wiped out.

However, the rest of the guards at the Lion Palace showed no surprise or tension.

They only looked at their deceased comrades with a bit of pity.

Afterward, they were full of fervor!

They couldn't wait!

Everyone knew about the danger of serving as a guard in the bedroom.

But everyone also knew that serving in the bedroom was the best path to advancement, and after a three-year term, it meant absolute trust from the master of the Lion Palace.

From then on, their careers would be smooth sailing.

Just like—

Dilbark!

This spy, who held the positions of reporter and editor at the Moon Newspaper in Southern Lost, had served as a bedroom guard for the Old Lion, which allowed him to break away from the regular 'Spy' system and rise to become one of the 'Seven Golden Mane Advisors'!

At that moment, Dilbark was in hiding at Port Doldot, gazing at the departing 'Oriental,' and his Messenger Stone began to vibrate.

Feeling the vibration of the Messenger Stone, Dilbark became excited.

For this stone was none other than a connection to the master of Inner Bay.

Hurriedly finding a secure place, Dilbark knelt on one knee to activate the Messenger Stone—

"My Prince, good day!"

His excitement made his voice tremble.

"Long time no see, Dilbark."

That voice, as if branded upon his soul, stirred up emotions the moment it greeted him, making Dilbark's tears nearly overflow with excitement.

"All is well, my Prince.

At this moment, I am secretly protecting Arthur.

His strength is really far beyond imagination.

Do you know?

The night before last..."

Dilbark began to recount in detail everything that had happened at Port Doldot starting from two nights ago.

The Old Lion did not interrupt his advisor.

After all, this was exactly what he wanted.

He wanted to confirm some of his own speculations from the side.

About ten minutes later, Dilbark reported everything he had seen, the information collected by his subordinates, and some of his own conjectures to the Old Lion.

"Very good, Dilbark!

You have not failed my expectations!"

The Old Lion praised.

Dilbark grew even more excited.

"Everything is due to your guidance!"

The advisor to the Old Lion humbly responded.

"Dilbark, remember, you and your men must do everything possible to protect Arthur Kredos. Apart from me... no, from this moment forward, even my orders must be based on not harming Arthur Kredos. If it would harm Arthur Kredos, then everything should prioritize Arthur Kredos.

You must remember this!"

The Old Lion issued an order that felt exceptionally significant to Dilbark.

However, this loyally devoted advisor did not ask further questions.

"Yes, Your Highness."

With a firm and affirmative response, the conversation ended.

Dilbark immediately erased any traces of his presence there and began to board the carriage, chasing after the "Oriental."

Meanwhile, inside the Lion Palace, the Old Lion confirmed even more.

First and foremost, he confirmed that Arthur was safe.

The things he worried about the most, such as Arthur being kidnapped by the bastards of the Lady of Sorrow, had not happened; in fact, in the confrontation with the Lady of Sorrow, Arthur had gained a considerable upper hand.

Although he still could not understand the whole process, a fleeting glimpse with Marinda and some hidden information within the messages revealed this much.

Thinking of this, the Old Lion's mood immediately improved.

"Haha."

Amidst his laughter, the Old Lion stood up.

He pulled out a small Human Puppet from his pocket and tossed it onto the original chair.

The next moment, another Old Lion appeared.

This Human Puppet Old Lion rolled its eyes at the original Old Lion as soon as it appeared.

"What for?"

The blunt words were also tinged with a bit of disdain.

"I need to ask for your help with something."

The Old Lion said somewhat sheepishly.

"You're sneaking out again?

Do you know that the last time you sneaked out, the entire Lion Palace almost exploded?

Also, is there a new store in Inner Bay?"

Initially, the Human Puppet Old Lion appeared quite righteous, but immediately became curious and eager.

"No!

I'm going to meet someone!

Someone I must see!"

The Old Lion shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face, causing the Human Puppet Old Lion's brow to furrow, knowing who he meant.

"Do you really have to go? We could..."

"I must go!"

The Old Lion cut off the Human Puppet Old Lion's words, his expression extremely serious, and the earnestness in his eyes even bore an aura of authority—a golden lion faintly appeared behind the Old Lion, and although it was sleeping with closed eyes, the entire Lion Palace trembled slightly.

"Alright! Alright!

You never listen to advice!

I'll try to buy you some time; you better go and come back quickly—I cannot guarantee what your precious sons might do if they find out you're gone."

Aware of the Old Lion's seriousness, the Human Puppet Old Lion immediately raised both hands.

But didn't forget to remind the Old Lion.

In response, the Old Lion smiled.

This master of Inner Bay spoke word by word—

"I'm looking forward to it!"
