They all call me Great Master-Chapter 234 - 231 The little boat sets sail!

Pendragon’s whiskers wafted gently to the edge of the cat bowl.

A touch of joy flashed through Arthur’s heart.

Half a month had passed!

At last!

At last, he had gathered the six whiskers needed for the "Orange Cat" ritual!

Do you know how he spent this half a month?

Like walking on thin ice!

Terrified!

Fearing that a minor slip would lead to deadly consequences!

You should know, during this half month, he had to sleep with one eye open every night!

Now it was finally over!

As long as he waited until the full moon to complete the "Orange Cat," he could at least sleep soundly!

The young "Spirit Medium" glanced at the convex moon outside the window, filled with anticipation—

’Three days, just three more days until the full moon!

Then, I’ll treat myself to a good meal to celebrate!

For now...

...I need to consider how to complete the "Orange Cat" ritual silently and unnoticed!’

As Arthur walked towards Pendragon, he thought quietly to himself.

You should know, ever since he became "famous", around No. 2 Cork Street there had been many eyes, always seemingly there, watching him.

Escaping these peering eyes and completing the "Orange Cat" was no simple task.

So...

’Should I kill them all?’

Facing his first ritual, Arthur was more cautious than ever, extreme ideas springing to his mind but quickly dismissed.

Such ’eyes’, kill one batch and another appears.

Moreover, once a move is made, it would only startle the snakes in the grass.

It might even backfire!

Making those people pay even more attention to him, increasing the difficulty of completing the "Orange Cat" ritual unnoticed.

’Do I need to leave South Los temporarily?

Yumir Manor?’

Arthur’s thoughts instinctively turned to that manor in Mount Gale Region, far from South Los.

As for Oakwood Manor?

Just thinking about the bizarre, living ’Golden Oak Tree’, Arthur instantly rejected the idea.

However, even going to Yumir Manor would require some arrangements.

With thoughts spinning like lightning, over the short distance, the young ’Spirit Medium’ had already made his plans—Next, he looked at Pendragon with an indulgent smile, gently brushing the top of the Orange Cat’s head with his finger, while subtly pocketing that whisker, and not forgetting to say,

"Pan, if you keep eating like this, you’ll be called ’a little kitty’!"

"Meow?"

Facing the sudden slander, just after flaunting his cat food, Pendragon lifted his head, a look of astonishment on his cat face.

Although it couldn’t truly understand the meaning behind its master’s words, the ’malice’ in them was something the little kitty was quite sensitive to.

However, before the little kitty could react, Arthur had already embraced it, signaling the old sheriff to feed the ’Police Chief.’

As the old sheriff started pouring cat food again, Pendragon obviously showed interest again, but tragically, the Orange Cat bound firmly by Arthur could not escape his clutches.

This scene made the old sheriff admire.

"Pan, you really are docile.

Even though you want to eat that cat food so badly, facing your restraint, you neither stretch out your claws nor bite indiscriminately!"

The old sheriff said this, looking at the ’Police Chief’ eating the cat food bit by bit, his admiration sounding once again.

"Of course, the same is true for the ’Police Chief’!

In such a dangerous world, having little kitties around is just wonderful!"

As the old sheriff spoke, happiness spread across his face.

"Don’t you think there’s a chance that... Pan might just be full?"

Arthur’s words caused the old sheriff’s smile to freeze on his face.

If Arthur had not been his partner, at that moment the old sheriff might have shown this disheartening man why the belts included in police uniforms are so broad and resilient.

"In such a wicked world, can’t you allow me a single fantasy?"

The old sheriff watched his partner helplessly.

"Instead of fantasies, let’s focus on something practical!"

As he spoke, Arthur placed the canvas bag containing the Golden Cane in front of the old sheriff. In the latter’s astonished expression, he whispered—

"Our first ship should be ready to launch now."

"Of course!"

"Arthur, what are your thoughts about our first ship?"

After glancing at the canvas bag with the Golden Cane, Malz immediately asked.

However, the fervor in the old sheriff’s eyes surprisingly moved Arthur.

The young ’Spirit Medium’ could tell that the eagerness in the old sheriff’s eyes was not greed for gold but a longing!

For...

The ship and the sea? Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy

"Malz, do you really like sailing?"

Given the relationship between Arthur and Malz, it was natural to ask directly if there was any doubt.

"Yes, I really do!

If the ’Seven Years’ War’ hadn’t broken out, I would have chosen to board a ship to become a sailor, accumulating experience over time to become the Chief Sailor, First Mate, and eventually own my ship under the name of ’Adventurer’, to explore new lands!"

Malz nodded, his face radiating an unprecedented passion, his eyes flickering with light.

That was a longing for freedom.

It was also the old sheriff’s former dream.

Even after decades, that dream still stirred the old sheriff’s heart.

For Arthur, this was good news.

At least, based on the old sheriff’s reaction, the latter was not inexperienced.

Maintaining such passion till now proved that he should always be keeping an eye on the movements of ships and seas—

"So, Captain Malz, what are your suggestions for our first ship?"

Arthur firmly believed that professional tasks should be left to the professionals.

Any amateurish interference would only complicate matters.

"These gold coins, if exchanged for gold notes, would be enough to buy a seven-tenths new Kirk Sailboat and 2 old-fashioned 30-oar ships, forming a small fleet that could allow us to start coastal trade!

Starting from Xisis Port in South Los, purchasing various local specialties here and transporting them along the Inland River to ’Kilg Harbor’ in Inner Bay, passing through the territories of the Marquess of Seberlin, Marquess of Ainhars, and Count Bert where we won’t need to worry about supplies, so we can enlarge the cargo holds, carry less supplies, and transport more goods.

If needed, we can continue from Kilg Harbor in Inner Bay along the Inland River toward Sidon Fortress.

The area under the management of the Glowgold Family is also quite prosperous.

However, recently I’ve heard that a ’Pirate General’ has appeared in the Western Sea, and although they might not enter the harbor, I think we should still be cautious and focus on running the route from South Los to Inner Bay!

Without unexpected events, we could complete a round trip in a month!

In two years, we could easily break even!"

The old sheriff, without hesitation, professionally blurted this out, which made Arthur clap softly.

"Then it’s all yours!"

Uttering those words, Arthur put Pendragon back into the cage and then stood up to take his leave.

"Huh? What do you mean it’s all mine? We haven’t even discussed the recruitment of sailors, captains, or the provision of weapons yet?"

The old sheriff looked dumbfounded.

"You’re the professional!

I trust you!

And me?

I have more important matters to handle!"

Having reached the door of the sheriff’s office, Arthur turned back with a smile, then without giving the old sheriff a chance to detain him, he quickly walked out.

This was not shirking responsibility!

It was because he truly had matters to attend to—

Seriously examining and tallying the spoils obtained from Harris, the newly appointed head of the secret Shelter in Rat Tail Alley!
