Baro is dead.
The news that the young king returning to the Inner Bay scared him to death spread across the entire South County like it had wings — communication crystals flashed.
ssages were passed one after another.
Then, the whole South County was in an uproar.
Arthur Kredos possesses the pure Golden Lion bloodline.
Everyone was stunned by this news.
Especially after confirming that this young man with the Golden Lion bloodline had long since 'Ascended Step', they fell silent for a long ti.
Everyone was speculating.
Everyone was connecting the dots.
'So that's how it is!'
Yekaterina Otto von Seberlin let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
The words her father had told her back then echoed in her mind —
'The Old Earl of South Los is not that simple.'
Clearly, this involved a much older sche.
However, no matter what, Arthur Kredos achieved an imdiate victory.
And her?
As half an ally, she would certainly obtain more benefits.
But...
The source of this bloodline?
Thinking inwardly, the lady began quietly instructing her subordinates to investigate.
In fact, it wasn't just this lady.
Everyone present was doing the sa.
Soon, a na erged.
Knight Gillgeek.
When this na appeared, it was as if the end of a tangled thread was grasped.
Soon, one na after another ca up.
Certain truths from the past began to surface.
Ultimately, it led to —
A lady.
Arthur Kredos's mother.
This true mber of the Golden Lion Family, bearer of the bloodline.
Instinctively, everyone's gaze turned to the young king standing at the dock, slightly lost in thought gazing at the Inland River.
'Ah, a prince's revenge story indeed!'
'Turns out he seeks justice for his mother!'
'Truly, only the power of hatred is the most terrifying!'
Various thoughts surged in the hearts of these people, and along with previous information, were once again transmitted to all parts, not only South County but also the intelligence network of North County began to move.
Arthur, who remained still after Baro's death, now had a flash of joy in his eyes —
[You are the youngest Spirit dium of South Los, you are also hailed as the calamity in physical form, and your surroundings are destined to be illuminated by legends. From this mont, you will attract attention like a beacon.
Because of your status as a mber of the Golden Lion Family.
So are curious, so unbelieving, so fan the flas, and so follow.
This made your na known throughout the South County, North County, and coastal areas.
You are Arthur Kredos.
You are the avenging prince.
You are also the young king.
XP 100000]
[Killed Baro Hamlet (Ascend Step. Pseudo), XP 10000]
...
The unprecedented XP gain did not surprise Arthur.
After all, according to Arthur's plan, the scene before him was prepared for his Ascend Step.
However, Arthur was also just a mortal.
He could not be all-knowing.
He did not anticipate that so much would happen during just a short voyage, unexpectedly allowing him to accumulate enough XP for Ascend Step upon entering the Inner Bay.
Afterwards, like a snowball, he gained even greater benefits.
'120,000 XP... enough!'
Arthur thought about the possible scenarios that might unfold later, and his heart was devoid of panic, filled only with appropriate plans. He turned around, looked at the crowd behind him, and finally, his gaze fell upon Jimte, Kalal, and Hayes —
"Jimte, prepare a celebration, everyone needs wine and food to dispel the misfortune."
"Kalal, gather so reliable individuals from various places to form temporary patrol teams to ensure the safety of the entire Inner Bay."
"Hayes, you're responsible for investigating Baro Hamlet's cris and making them public to everyone."
"Yes!"
Faced with Arthur's orders, Jimte, Kalal, and Hayes responded in unison.
Those around them watched the young trio, eyes filled with envy.
They knew these three would rise to prominence.
Far beyond anyone's imagination in speed.
Perhaps even quickly forming three families.
People were speculating, then suddenly, the aura of Jimte, Kalal, and Hayes spiked dramatically, the sudden increase in strength startled everyone present.
Anyone knowledgeable couldn't help but exclaim.
"'Lionheart Ceremony'!"
When this term appeared, the docks fell silent.
Those present were not ignorant, on the contrary, each could be described as learned and knowledgeable to ordinary people.
Therefore, those present knew what 'Lionheart Ceremony' represented.
It is a complentary contract.
It is a contract to acknowledge ritorious service.
It is a contract where followers beco stronger along with the loyalist.
However, at this mont, none of these mattered.
People truly cared about when Jimte, Kalal, and Hayes pledged allegiance to Arthur.
Was it at the 'Yumir Manor' on the South Los border rumored?
That was the rumored first eting between the young king and two of the three.
No!
No, that's not right!
It couldn't have been so rash!
It must have been earlier!
As for the encounter at 'Yumir Manor'?
Naturally, it was perford for them to see.
Thinking of this, those affected by the lingering power of [Bloodline Seal. Lionheart King] looked at Arthur with three tis more reverence in their gaze.
