Hearing Arthur's introduction, the boy in front of him also began to introduce himself and his friends.
"My name is William, I am currently 9 years old." After introducing himself, William began to introduce the person next to him.
"The person next to me is named Edric, he's only 8 years old." Arthur started to look at the child next to William, his hair was black, different from William's, whose hair was brown and his body was quite dirty.
After that, William began to introduce a girl who was slightly older than him.
"The girl next to me is called Claire, she is currently 10 years old and almost 11 years old." Arthur turned to the girl who was almost the same age as him. Arthur could see that if this girl cleaned her dirty face, she would become a beautiful young girl with light blue hair.
"The boy behind me is Kurt, he's the same age as me." looked at the child behind William, he had yellow hair and a fairly firm face.
"And lastly, she's a little girl named Chloe, she's the youngest among us all at 7 years old." Arthur immediately turned to the little girl, with black hair, plus bright silver eyes.
'Hoh, somehow this little girl gives me a strange feeling, I'd better ask Helena and Thea later.' After daydreaming for a moment, Arthur started talking to them.
"Since all of you will now be my servants, then come with me, but before that, let me clean all of your bodies first." After saying those words, Arthur began to raise his hand in front of the five children in front of him, immediately after that, a number of Qi began to come out of Arthur's hand and started heading towards them.
William and the others who saw that, initially panicked but after seeing that the dirt all over their bodies was starting to disappear, they calmed down.
"Okay, now that you are completely clean, come with me to the clothing store." hearing what Arthur said, they started walking and followed him from behind.
After walking out of the slum, Arthur returned to the place where Helena and Thea were, saw several men lying on the ground, knowing what had happened he immediately approached them.
"You two, did something happen while I was away?" hearing a familiar voice, they started to turn towards Arthur and said.
"yes, as you can already see, it's all because of our very beautiful faces, they started approaching us, but I hit them all." Seeing that his guess was correct, he started to take out the dagger in his hand, but Thea, who knew Arthur was going to do something terrible, started to stop him.
"Stop!!! If you do that here, we will be targeted by the royal troops." Hearing Thea's words, Arthur became a little able to control his emotions and muttered to himself.
'Uh, looks like I have to restrain this uncontrollable trait a bit...' Seeing that Arthur's hands calmed down, Thea immediately let go of him and was about to take Arthur and Helena away, suddenly stopped seeing 5 children who appeared near Arthur.
"Arthur, who are the 5 kids behind you?" Hearing Thea's question, Arthur replied.
"They are my servants, I plan to open a shop that sells various potions, I can guarantee that this will be very useful." Hearing Arthur's explanation, Thea asked again.
"hmm, then do you have some gold coins to rent a place?" Listening to what Thea said, Arthur answered with a smile.
"Of course, I have a large amount of gold coins which is enough to rent a place for up to 3 years, it's just an investment after all, hahaha." Thea, who heard Arthur's explanation, and ignored the laughter at the end, asked again.
"If so, do you intend to employ them, aren't they still children?" Seeing Thea's question, Arthur immediately replied.
"Don't look from the outside, I can see that they are really talented in economics, and what they need now is to study and hone their skills." Hearing Arthur's explanation, Thea could only remain silent.
Helena, who was near Thea, started to approach Arthur and said.
"Arthur, where did you find the little girl with silver eyes?" Arthur, who heard Helena's words, immediately asked.
"I actually intended to tell you about her, as for her name, she is Chloe, when I first saw her, she also gave me a strange feeling." Hearing Arthur's explanation, Helena immediately told him.
"I don't know which lineage he comes from, but what I can confirm is that he has a little bit of hero blood in his body, as for what that hero's name is, I can only guess." Arthur, who heard Helena's last sentence, was a little curious about her guess and asked.
"oh, so what do you guess about his bloodline?" Hearing Arthur's question, Helena said a little nervously.
"i-it's a holy hero." Hearing about the title of holy hero, Arthur immediately asked again.
"What is a holy hero, what makes him different from other heroes?" Hearing that, Helena immediately explained.
"In the past, holy heroes could not only emerge from the human race, but could also be born from various races in this world." Hearing Helena's explanation, Arthur muttered to himself.
'Holy hero huh, what is it that makes him so feared, even the dragon race like Helena gets scared when he says his name.' Arthur, who was very curious about this hero, immediately asked again.
"If what you say is true, have holy heroes appeared in this era?" Helena, who heard Arthur's words, only replied.
"I don't know whether holy heroes have appeared in this era or not, but according to the history I read, they will only appear when the whole world experiences major changes." Seeing that Helena also didn't know whether the holy hero had been born or not, but what Arthur could know now was about the little girl who was standing behind him, then Arthur smiled at her.
'Very interesting, if I can make this girl very strong, will her blood awaken? I have to try it when she reaches adulthood.' After pondering for a moment, he started walking towards the clothes shop and immediately entered it.
"Welcome, young master, how may I help you?" hearing a woman in a maid's outfit say to him, Artjur replied.
"Yes, I came here to buy clothes to suit these five children, can you prepare them?" Hearing Arthur's words, the servant started walking towards where the clothes were and immediately took them and showed them to Arthur.
"Here, young master, please see whether these clothes are suitable for the five of them or not." Hearing the servant's words, Arthur turned to the five of them and gave them clothes.
"Wear it in the changing room, just tell me if it really doesn't fit." The five children who heard that, started walking to the changing room.
After a few minutes, they came out of the changing area and immediately showed their clothes to Arthur.
"oh, it suits them, then I buy them all." Arthur immediately walked towards the cashier and started paying.
Thea, who saw some clothes, started pulling Arthur's clothes and whispering.
"Arthur, can you also buy me some clothes? As you can see what kind of clothes I'm wearing right now." Arthur, who heard Thea's words, started to turn towards her and said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, choose what you like, I'll pay for you." Seeing that Arthur bought her an outfit, Thea immediately chose the clothes she wanted and started to enter the changing room.
A few minutes had passed, and Thea started to leave the room, immediately, she showed Arthur her beautiful clothes, and said.
"Thank you, Arthur, for letting me buy these clothes." Hearing Thea's thanks for him, Arthur answered.
"Don't say things like that, you're already mine, so I won't have a problem if you want to ask for something." Helena from a distance, who heard Arthur's words, felt a little annoyed for some reason.
'uh, this guy is really a bastard. But I think he's a good person.' Helena muttered to herself while sighing.
Arthur, who had paid for Thea's clothes, immediately walked out along with the others.
"Let's walk around for a while, take a look at the surrounding streets." Immediately after that, Arthur started walking forward and looked in various directions.
'Hmm? I'm really very lucky to be able to find a place to open a shop.' Arthur immediately walked to the place and saw an empty shop in the window, immediately knocked on it.
"excuse me, is there anyone?" after knocking several times, a man appeared while opening the door and said.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" said the man while turning towards them with a sad expression.
Arthur saw that the man in front of him had a sad face, curious he asked him.
"Did something happen, sir? Why is your face so sad?" Hearing Arthur's question, the man explained.
"Actually, my wife is currently seriously ill, I don't have enough money to pay for her treatment, that's why her illness has become very serious." Hearing about his wife being sick, Arthur smiled and said.
"Do you want me to save your wife? I can save her from death if you agree to my conditions." The man in front of him, who heard Arthur's words, began to reply with a little hope.
"T-Then, I'll give everything to you, whatever it is, even my life, if you can save his life!" Hearing the man's answer, Arthur smiled broadly and replied.
"Yes, the conditions are very easy, all you need to do is let me sell in your shop, that way, I can save your wife, do you agree to this offer?" said Arthur while raising his hand to the man in front of him.
Hearing Arthur's terms, the man without thinking started shaking hands and said.
"Okay, I'll give it, but you have to promise to save my wife." After hearing the man's words, Arthur started to go inside along with the others and the man.
After half a minute had passed, Arthur, who was in a small room with the body of a thin woman lying on the bed, immediately approached him.
Arthur immediately took out a potion in his bag. This potion was made before Arthur started his adventure.
After taking out the potion, Arthur opened the lid and began to let the woman drink it.
The man nearby who saw this started asking Arthur.
"What kind of potion is that, why is the color different from what people sell?" Hearing the question from the man beside him, Arthur replied.
"This is a healing potion that I created myself when I was still in my hometown using the herbs I planted." Hearing Arthur's explanation, the man remained silent and continued to look at his wife hopefully.
After a few moments had passed, the woman's hands started to move slightly which surprised and pleased her husband, he started to approach her when he saw her eyelids slightly open.
"s-honey, what is happening to me." seeing that his wife had woken up, he began to cry and reply.
"Please calm down, my wife, you will soon recover from the deadly disease you are experiencing." Hearing her husband's words, the woman only responded with a slight smile.
"That's good news, who saved me from this?" Hearing his wife's question, the man immediately answered and introduced Arthur to her.
"This young man is the one who saved you from this deadly disease." Arthur, who saw the woman turning towards him, just nodded with a smile.
'huh, what a handsome young man.' After muttering in her mind, the woman immediately said respectfully to Arthur.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me from the disease that made me suffer so much." Hearing the words of the woman in front of him, Arthur answered.
"It doesn't need to be like that, I made an offer with your husband, just to save your life, so let's just say we're even." Hearing Arthur's explanation, the woman was silent for a moment and began to introduce herself.
"Sorry for the slow introduction, my name is Rebecca and my husband is Paul, nice to meet you, sir." Arthur, who heard the sudden introduction, could only nod and reply.
"No problem, my name is Arthur Leonard, so it's nice to meet you both." Arthur said with a smile, the two of them who heard Arthur's introduction also started to smile.
Several minutes have passed, now Rebecca can walk after being given a stamina recovery potion.
"Sir, please check this document." hearing Paul's words, Arthur began to take the document from Paul's hand and began to read it.
After finishing reading, Arthur muttered in his mind.
'hmm, this is good data, the kingdom takes taxes from its people fairly, it seems I have decided.' Arthur muttered in his mind with a smile, and started to stand up and immediately walked towards the shop.
"Alright kids, let's clean up this room, tomorrow we'll open the potion shop." hearing Arthur's order, they started to take cleaning equipment and started cleaning the floor, windows, and tables and their contents.
Arthur immediately turned to Helena and Thea, starting to speak.
"Do you two want to go for a walk? Then I will accompany you two." Thea and Helena, who heard Arthur's words, answered simultaneously.
"NO!." Hearing their rejection made Arthur's heart crack a little.
"Uh... OK, then I'll go somewhere else first." Arthur said to the two of them who were currently standing while looking at Arthur's back.
'hmm, he really is a mysterious guy, there are a lot of things I don't know about him.' muttered the two, who were subconsciously thinking the same thing.
----------------------
At this time, in a place that Arthur had visited before.
Several men in black robes were seen, and began to approach the bar owned by the fat man whose corpse was currently lying on the ground.
"Shit, what's really going on here? And also where is Keith's body?" a man with red eyes, said to his colleagues who were currently examining the fat man's body.
"Charles, it looks like Keith was the one who killed this man." Charles, who heard his colleague's words, started to reply a little angrily.
"There's no way he would dare break the rules of our faction! Remember, Keith's life crystal has been destroyed, that means he's dead. So I'm of the opinion that he was instigated by someone very powerful." Hearing Charles' explanation, his colleagues nearby just nodded and asked.
"So, what should we report to our other colleagues?" Hearing his colleague's words, Charles only replied.
"huh, let's just lie to them about Keith and the person who hired him being killed by someone mysterious." Hearing what Charles said, all his colleagues just nodded and soon everyone disappeared.
'Hmph, the person who dares to kill Keith will pay 10x the price!!!' Charles muttered in his mind hatefully.
--------------------------
Arthur at this time, entered a drugstore, he started talking to the cashier.
"Hello, I'm here to sell some medicine and it's called body enhancement potion, can you see how much it costs?" the girl in front of him, started examining him and said.
"Sorry, sir, I've never heard of this potion, so can you prove to us that it really works?" Hearing that the girl in front of him wanted proof, Arthur began to pick up a withered plant that was near the entrance and immediately poured a drop of the potion.
The girl in front of her who saw that, was very surprised and said,
"w-what! The plant that was almost dead suddenly became green and healthy again?!" seeing the surprise of the girl in front of him, Arthur started to ask.
"So, since I've proven it, how about we make a transaction?" The girl who heard Arthur's words immediately answered.
"w-wait a minute, I'll call the boss first." Soon, the girl came inside.
A few minutes later, a tall man appeared beside the girl, turned to Arthur and said.
"Dear sir, tell me how much does the potion you make cost?" hearing the man's words, Arthur immediately answered.
"150 gold coins, that's the price for this potion." hearing the unreasonable price, the man started to reply.
"u-uh, can the price be lowered below 100 gold coins?" Hearing the offer, Arthur immediately explained the properties of the potion.
"Impossible, this potion can heal someone who has a weak body, even from the time he was born, I swear just a drop of this potion is enough to make your tired body regain its full stamina." Hearing Arthur's explanation, both of them became very surprised and started to reply.
"i-if that's the case, can the price be lowered to 120 gold coins?" seeing the offer raised, arthur said.
"Huh, I intended to promote the shop I was just opening tomorrow, but no one could help me, even though I intended to give them this potion in return." Hearing Arthur's words, the man started replying without thinking.
"Okay!!! Sir, you can leave it to me about promotion matters, I promise in just one night your shop will be busy!" Hearing the man's agreement, Arthur smiled and muttered in his mind.
'Very good, luckily I managed to play a trick with him, this way I can get more profits and buy land around here to grow herbs.' After seeing that his plan was successful, Arthur immediately gave him the potion and left.
"Okay, let's head back for now." After that, Arthur continued to walk back to his shop.
Several minutes had passed, Arthur, who had now returned, started to go inside and saw that the shop room was clean and shiny.
"Good job, children. Take these silver coins for completing your first job." seeing that they were given silver coins in large quantities, became very happy and said to Arthur.
"Thank you very much, Master, we will definitely do well tomorrow." Hearing William's words, Arthur smiled at him and replied.
"No problem, you should go and buy some food for you all to eat, I'll go inside first." After saying that, Arthur started to approach Helena and said.
"Helena, regarding your cultivation, immediately convert your mana energy into Qi energy, then you will officially become a cultivator." Helena, who heard Arthur's words, nodded and began to sit in the lotus position.
'This is what I saw in my mind earlier, let's try to absorb the mana energy in my body and put it into my dantian.' After thinking that, Helena began to absorb the mana energy in her body. After several hours had passed, Helena opened her eyes which slightly emitted blue light.
"Th-this, so this is what it's like to be a cultivator? I can feel that my senses have become very strong, plus the energy within me has increased much more than before." Arthur, seeing Helena's aura, began to congratulate her.
"Congratulations Helena, you have broken through to peak core formation level, that's equivalent to a seventh circle peak stage." Hearing what Arthur said, Helena was very happy and immediately hugged Arthur, saying.
"I, I didn't expect that I would be able to reach seventh circle peak stage so quickly." Feeling himself being hugged very tightly, Arthur just let it go and smiled back.
"Hehe, I told you, that you won't regret it if you follow me." After saying that, Arthur hugged Helena's waist with both hands, with their faces only a few inches close together before kissing.
Helena, who saw Arthur's face very close to hers, suddenly turned a little red, wanted to move her head back, but before she could move her head back, something landed on her lips and saw that Arthur was kissing her.
But strangely, this time Helena didn't reject the kiss like before, she just let Arthur do whatever he liked to her body.
Helena began to feel a tongue enter her mouth, and began to dance with Arthur's tongue.
"slurp" "slurp"
Helena, whose head was now starting to go blank, started moving her tongue without letting Arthur lead.
Arthur, who felt Helena's tongue starting to move and dance inside him, was very happy with the woman whose beauty was above that of a fairy, taking the initiative to kiss him too.
3 minutes have passed, now both of them are panting and starting to separate with saliva still connected between their tongues.
After taking a deep breath, Arthur turned to Helena whose face was red with saliva dripping slightly until it fell.
'Uh, even though I want to put myself inside Helena, I have to restrain myself, this is all in order to make her fall in love with me.' After pondering for a moment, Helena began to speak to Arthur a little nervously.
"d-don't you want to do more of this?" Hearing Helena's nervous words, Arthur was very surprised by the words she said, which made something inside Arthur harden a little.
"I do intend to do that with you, but I can't right now, before I win your heart." Hearing the words Arthur said, Helana immediately smiled softly and said.
"I understand. Then, let's do something fun another day." Immediately, after that, Helena left her room, and left Arthur, who was currently alone, thinking about Helena's words.
'u-umm, does she intend to take the initiative and do that one day?, but if it really happens, then I don't mind as long as she is the one who takes the initiative to give herself to me.' After contemplating and thinking in his mind, Arthur started to walk out and headed to the top floor of his room that Paul had told him about.
After walking upstairs and seeing a bedroom door, Arthur immediately entered it.
"huft- I can finally rest, let's continue my cultivation again." Immediately after that, Arthur began to sit on the floor in a cross-legged position.
'Okay, I will soon break through to the first rank of Body Tempering Realm.'
Morning had arrived, Arthur immediately opened his eyes and felt his body improving rapidly.
"Amazing, I finally broke through to the body tempering level, this way my body will be as strong as iron when I reach the ninth rank." Arthur said to himself and began to ponder in his mind.
'hmm, although I can still improve my cultivation as fast as when I was at the 1st Rank of Qi Gathering, but that will take time, I'd better do it slowly.' After daydreaming for a moment, Arthur started walking out of his room and immediately went downstairs.
"Okay, let's immediately see outside, what that man promised about promoting my shop but, if he dares break his promise, then I will make him pay for all this." After muttering to himself, Arthur immediately walked towards his shop and saw many people coming.
'hoh, he really wasn't lying about having lots of visitors coming.'
William, who saw Arthur coming, started to approach him and asked.
"s-sir, this place is getting very busy, But all they're doing there is looking." Hearing William's words, Arthur became a little confused and started walking towards the crowd and asked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, why are you all just standing there and not buying this potion?" Soon, Arthur holds a bottle containing blue, which makes them scream.
"t-that's it, it says the potion can improve a person's body no matter if they are disabled or born as a weak human." Arthur, who heard the words of one of them, started to say.
"Do you want proof that this potion can heal someone's weak body?" the crowd who heard Arthur's words, began to answer simultaneously.
"YES! Let us see that the potion is really genuine." After hearing that, Arthur started asking questions.
"If so, then is there anyone among you whose body is very weak or something?" hearing Arthur's words, the room became silent, Arthur, seeing that no one was replying, was about to speak, but suddenly someone said in a loud voice.
"W-wait, please can you help my daughter who is currently in pain? I beg if you can cure her." The crowd who heard the voice, started to turn towards him and were surprised when they saw someone very important here.
"D-Duke Roswell?!!." Arthur who heard the duke's words, started to smile mysteriously and replied.
"Okay, show me the way!"
