They all call me Great Master-Chapter 640 - 637 Fabricate. Below!
"Sorry!"
"Previously, the 'spirituality' emanating from you led me to believe that you already had a teacher or a guide."
"However, it was only after your parents informed me about certain matters that I realized you had stumbled into this world—a world that's not so wonderful—by accident."
"Although my old friend did no wrong, in the end, I have used Their name, so—"
"I can offer you some compensation."
Arthur said, shrugging his shoulders.
Only then did the 'Spirit Medium' of South Los continue.
"Our family's rituals, belonging to the Kledos legacy, are not something I can teach you."
"The legacy I possess from the 'Cat Hole' is also bound by contracts."
"However, I have two other rituals in my possession—"
One is the meditation method of the Talin Faction, the 'Tower Oath'."
The other is the Assassin's blood rite secret technique, 'Bloodlust'."
The former belongs to one of the three basic types of regular rituals, the vow category, while the latter belongs to the indulgence category."
The 'Tower Oath' is the simplest of all; you only need to find a tower over 10 meters tall, under the starry sky, consume Secret Medicine, and then vow with your true name 'to humbly progress and learn continuously, maintaining over six hours of study daily'."
But if one breaks this vow, death awaits them."
It is a true death, with no possibility of turning back."
'Bloodlust' is more direct—hunting your enemies brings immense pleasure, but as this pleasure accumulates, it can lead to an obsession. If not controlled, this obsession can cause profound emptiness in your normal state."
"As long as you can provide 10 kilograms of gold, you may choose either one."
At this point, Arthur paused and looked at Lucius.
The young avenger was momentarily stunned.
He had been incredibly excited upon hearing the word 'compensation.'
Especially upon hearing the names of the rituals 'Tower Oath' and 'Bloodlust,' he was so thrilled he almost shouted out loud.
Was he finally about to touch that magical power?
With such power, he could finally take his revenge!
But he had not expected it to cost 10 kilograms of gold!
This abrupt twist left the young avenger frozen in place.
"What's the matter?
You didn't think my compensation would entail teaching you for free, did you?"
Arthur observed Lucius with a curious interest.
Lucius immediately shook his head.
"No!
I wouldn't be that naive!"
Even if he had thought just that a moment ago, the young avenger would never admit it.
He admitted to himself that he had been naive and childish.
After all he had experienced, he still naively believed in the chance of getting everything for nothing, like manna from heaven.
This thought made the young avenger laugh at himself internally.
But he was becoming more and more convinced by Arthur's words.
And this was exactly the effect Arthur wanted.
Arthur knew human nature all too well.
Gifts are met with suspicion.
Only costly things are treasured.
"Trust me, this knowledge is even more precious than you could imagine.
Me asking you for gold is already taking the compensation into account."
Arthur stood up to pour Lucius another cup of orange tea.
"Hmm."
Lucius nodded.
And deep down, the young avenger began to do some serious calculations.
1 gold coin weighs 2 grams.
10 kilograms is 10,000 grams.
That means…
5,000 gold coins!
Even though he already understood that such power was rare and precious, he was still taken aback by the price.
Even when his parents were alive and his family was wealthy, they couldn't have afforded such an amount.
In fact, they couldn't even come up with 1,000 gold coins, let alone 5,000.
And now?
Even less to say.
Lucius had only about 10 gold notes on him.
That amount was carefully saved by the young avenger himself.
"I need to think about it, Lord Kledos."
The young avenger said so.
"Of course!
I'm here any time before this journey ends."
Arthur smiled as he saw the young avenger out the door and watched him descend the stairs until the figure completely disappeared, only then did Arthur return to his cabin.
He first checked every plank of the deck that Lucius had walked on after entering the cabin, then the chair the other had sat on, the teacup he had used.
Then, after checking the entire cabin one more time, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
The trap is set.
Now, to wait for the fish to bite.
Lucius was never the focus.
The focus has always been Yula.
And the "Tower Oath," "Bloodlust" are in a way...
A reminder!
Yes, a reminder!
This was not some sort of test!
When Arthur had just mentioned these two rituals, he meant it genuinely.
If Lucius really produced 5,000 gold coins, he would truly let him choose one ritual and teach it to him without reservation.
Only this could remind Yula, who had always been monitoring Lucius, of Arthur Kredos's 'erudition' and the Kledos family's astonishing legacy.
Only this could get Yula to take the bait.
Only this could make Yula 'learn' more secret techniques from him through Lucius.
And it would be in exchange for something of equal value.
As for the money?
Lucius had none.
Did Yula have any money, then?
If Yula did have money, he wouldn't have to engage in convoluted dealings with Qiao Xu.
So, for more secret techniques, Yula would certainly offer something of equal value.
Arthur had gone through that period of ceaselessly pursuing secret techniques.
Even now, he was still in a similar phase.
So, Arthur knew well the madness of the 'Mystic Side Person' during that time, willing to sell their soul for a tiny bit of knowledge.
And if it weren't necessary to sell one's soul?
Then that would be excellent.
It would truly be a case of buying whatever one wanted.
Also, given the 'image' he had previously cultivated,

Arthur believed the items of equal value presented by Yula would not be some common trinkets, but would surely be of substantial value...
Information!
Regarding props or one's own Mystic Side knowledge?
Impossible.
No one would sell their props and Mystic Side knowledge.
Even if they had reached a certain level where these props and knowledge were no longer useful, they would still attach an incredibly high price to them before contemplating a sale.
Of course, this was the scenario Arthur would most welcome.
Yet, it was possible that a less favourable outcome could occur.
And at that time, another method would have to be employed.
Arthur silently contacted his other trump card in his mind.
At the same time, he kept a close watch on Lucius.
As Lucius returned from the top deck cabin and walked on the promenade deck, he seemed somewhat distracted, not fully awakening until he reached his own cabin's door.
The young avenger quickly adjusted himself.
But as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Yula sitting calmly on the sofa, quietly watching the doorway.
At this moment, although Yula's mouth held a smile, there was a faint sharpness in his eyes.
Immediately, a chill ran through the young avenger's heart as he thought—
'Bad news!'
