As usual Apsu asked Arthur officially if he wants to buy the skills and they sealed the deal with system. So Arthur got three new skills in exchange for 2800 L.P.
After buying the skills Arthur wanted to try them out. So he tried the [shadow clone] skill first.
When the skill activated his shadow streched into a long one before separating from his body. Then, it took the exact same form as Arthur and stood before him looking at the surrounding.
Arthur was surprised. 'Why does it feel so real?' Arthur thought after the shadow materialized. It was so real and looks like it also has intelligence.
"Hey, can you talk?"
"Yes, I can." The shadow clone replied obediently in the exact same voice as Arthur.
Arthur was relieved to get this answer. He asked Apsu what this skill can do and how to use it?
Apsu said that he can control it manually or let it take action freely. Also, he can give it specific tasks to complete. The shadow clone will always obey his command as it is his shadow. But if he controls it manually then he will also share the shadows sense of feeling.
That may cause benefits or loss depending on the situation his shadow is. But nonetheless the overall use of this skill is amazing. It may prove as his lifesaving skill beside time freeze.
Next two skills are not fighting skill. But more like a lifestyle tool. With his second skill he can satisfy any and all kinds of women. But there is no details on how it works. Looks like he has to experiment with this skill.
But the third skill is the most amazing as it works multiple ways. He can use it to detect a person with great talent or he can use this skill to identify a person accurately. This skill will also expose a person's status to him.
But currently Arthur is alone in his room so he can't check this skill. But once he meets people he will be able to read their stats.
He might be able to save himself from potential dangerous enemy through this skill.
Arthur got some rest in his room for some time. After he felt refreshing again, he went out of his room. But just as he went out, not more than few steps out of his room, he saw a guard making his way to his room.
When the guard saw him, he rushed towards Arthur hastily. Then, he bowed his head respectfully. Arthur was surprised so he questioned the guard.
"What? Why are you here?"
"The Lord is urgently calling you, third young master."
"Did he say anything? Or mention any reason??" Arthur asked curiously hoping to get some idea early as to what his father wants to talk about so urgently.
"No, but he says it's very urgent."
Arthur was disappointed at this very much. But he still complied and send back the guard saying that he will go to meet his father as soon as possible.
He pondered for a minute as to how the meeting with his father might progress because he remembered his father always being somewhat cold and distant towards him. For this reason, he used to be afraid of his father very much.
Arthur shook his head and got rid of these thought instantly. He walked straight to his father's office. When he reached the door of his father's office, the guards outside of the office told his father of his arrival.
Arthur waited for a while as nobody can enter his father's office without his consent. Even if it is his children, they cannot break this rule.
Then, after a few minutes of waiting, he was finally able to enter the office by his father's permission.
Meeting with his father for the first time after he died feels somewhat odd yet nostalgic. He felt the need to clear this feeling of unfamiliarity between father and son.
Arthur saw his father sitting behind his office desk, looking through loads of work related documents with a somber face. When his father realized that Arthur was here, he looked up at him slightly.
His father didn't make any unnatural movement as he saw Arthur approach. Arthur got close to his father's desk and slightly bowed his head to show his respect.
"You summoned me so urgently father. Is there anything wrong? "Arthur tried to act natural but he had a instinctive fear of his father.
His father's name is Remius Sherwood. His father is a white haired handsome middle-aged man. His hair didn't turn white due to old age, it's his natural hair color. His age is not more than forty-five. He is pretty young according to this world standard. But he already has three children who are almost grown-up.
If you follow this world standard, then you are already an adult when you turn twenty. You can marry, take charge of family, even the king is able to sit on the throne if he is twenty years of age.
So currently his father can be said to be in his prime stage of human lifespan. Being a noble and a city lord, he is much more strong and steady in both mind and body.
It is said that he used to be a close friend of our KING when they were young. They were in the same academy and became friends. They also gained many merits together. But something happened and the two of them grew distant.
Nobody knows the exact reason for that. But there are many rumors surrounding it.
Arthur kept standing in front of his father, waiting patiently for him to speak up. But he ignored him.
He was growing impatient. Is this some kind of torture? Arthur wanted to shout and scream at his father but he couldn't.
After going on like this for half an hour Arthur finally lost his patient and opened his mouth.
"Father, what did you want to speak with me?"
"Nothing."
"Then, why did you call me?"
"Just wanted to see you standing for the rest of the night. But you surprised me there for a moment.", his father said with a poker face.
Arthur was speechless and annoyed at his father for making a fool out of him in this way.
