Chapter 581 Subtle Changes Occur in the Cold Winter!

After giving William a new name, Arthur cut off his contact with William... no, Sebastian Moran.

North County was not originally in Arthur's current plan.

Arthur's current plan is still based on South Los, and gradually extends to the inner bay.

As for North County?

There will definitely be a layout in the future.

But now?

But definitely not.

Arthur asked himself that he did not have so many people.

But he really cared too much about the situation on Melinda's side - putting aside the strong brotherhood, the close cooperation between the two has long been a part of you and me.

Or to put it another way, the two are grasshoppers on the same rope.

You can't run away, and I can't run away.

Once something goes wrong, it will really be a loss for all.

Arthur can guarantee that he will not have any problems.

But what about Melinda?

Arthur can't guarantee it.

So, he must arrange some insurance.

And it can't appear in South Los.

If it spreads from South Los to the west coast, it is too conspicuous. Not only can Melinda easily find it, but it is also too easy for Melinda's mother's family to find it.

So, William is the right person.

A person who will never be suspected.

After all, it is well known: he, Arthur, is the "medium" of South Los.

North County?

It has nothing to do with him.

As for Moran's loyalty and ability?

Arthur is even more relieved.

Moran's loyalty to him is beyond doubt, not only because of the existence of the contract, but also because of his good acting skills, which makes him twisted to the point of fanaticism.

And Moran's own ability has no shortcomings as his strength increases.

After all, that is——

'Corpse Lich!

It actually succeeded! '

Arthur has also read related books about the "Corpse Lich" and was impressed.

Not only can the 'corpse lich' easily create skeletons and zombies, control bone spirits and ghosts, and master a certain degree of curse.

It is also because the 'corpse lich' is immortal to a certain extent.

If you want to kill the 'corpse lich', you need to kill all the 'corpse liches' at once.

That's right!

Kill them all!

Not a single bit of flesh and blood can be left.

Even a strand of hair or a fingernail cannot be left.

Once left, the 'corpse lich' will regenerate.

The reason why the 'corpse lich' in the 'Empire Age' was considered a fallacy or simply fabricated by many people in later generations was because it was recorded in the book that seemed like unofficial history that the 'corpse lich' had set off a two-year rebellion in the north of the empire, causing the loss of most of the northern legions of the empire. It was not until the 'Holy Blood Knights', one of the 20 knights of the empire, were dispatched to suppress the rebellion, but this battle also made the north of the empire chaotic. The north of the empire, which was already devastated by the 'Shadow Disaster', also completely lost its faith in the empire - because the 'Holy Blood Knights' did not care about the civilians and nobles in the north of the empire when they attacked, causing the deaths of at least 100,000 innocent people.

Most people do not agree with this.

Because, as we all know, the 'Holy Blood Knights' are kind and compassionate, and what is particularly commendable is the tolerance of the 'Holy Blood Knights'.

Therefore, no one thinks that the 'Holy Blood Knights' will do this.

Even the 'Blood Grand Duke' who has been active since the Holy Age claims to be a descendant of the 'Holy Blood Knights'.

Arthur was half-believing and half-doubting about this kind of unofficial history.

After all, if selling hooks to become emperor can appear in unofficial history, what else can't appear?

Unofficial history is not necessarily true, but it must be wild enough.

But Arthur was still quite happy that there was an extra "corpse lich" under his command.

And looking at Arthur's smile, Melinda raised her eyebrows-

"What are you planning, bad guy?"

The lady said this, but her tone was not questioning, or even without doubt, but with a hint of humor.

More importantly, while the lady was talking, she blew out smoke rings and took out venison, goose, fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and pine branches from it.

The venison included two venison chops, one front leg, one hind leg, and the tenderest tenderloin.

There were two geese, and like the venison, they were all simply processed.

The fruits and vegetables were fresh and tender.

The seafood was also fresh.

The pine branches were green and tough, and just looking at them gave people a feeling of vitality.

In addition to these, there are also some brightly colored ribbons.

And...

A large box of snacks.

Arthur knew it was made by Mary just by smelling it.

That fragrance can't deceive anyone.

"I'm thinking about the people I invited tonight - I originally planned to come in person, but I think it's best to be with you at such an important moment."

Arthur said seriously.

"Next time you lie, remember not to stare at those snacks."

Melinda said, pulling out two red ribbons.

"Hang them at the gate of the courtyard and on the branches of the banyan tree."

Melinda said, and raised her hand, using the smoke to lift the braised meat, goose, fruits, and seafood and sent them to the kitchen.

"Ms. Anna, can I help?"

Melinda asked.

"Of course."

Ms. Anna smiled kindly.

Ms. Anna certainly doesn't mind having help.

Especially when that person is Malinda.

Malinda and Ms. Anna walked to the kitchen.

Arthur walked towards the door holding two pieces of red silk.

After Arthur took two steps, Malinda looked back at Arthur's straight forward back.

Arthur didn't look back.

However, he saw Malinda looking back.

so--

He turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Malinda. The tongue danced back and forth, making a slight sound.

Malinda raised her middle finger without hesitation.

Then, the two of them turned around and continued moving forward.

One went to the kitchen.

One walked to the courtyard.

When they were separated by two doors, the two of them breathed out slightly.

Malinda was still recalling Arthur's words in her mind, 'If you need help, let me know. ’.

And Arthur?

He was recalling the things Malinda brought.

Although it is just some food, it is a must for the ‘winter feast’.

‘It’s really not easy for this guy to remember this. ’

Arthur sighed in his heart.

In Arthur's view, a career-oriented guy like Malinda, let alone preparing things for the Winter Festival, working overtime until midnight on the Winter Festival is considered a holiday for herself.

‘Is this guy changing too? ’

Arthur thought in his heart, then shook his head, and while asking Merlin and Gawain to tie the red ribbon, he said -

"I need you to help me deliver a message to Lady Susan, the great housekeeper of the Earl of Nanlos, Lady Camille of Camille's family, and Maltz.

Said, come to No. 2 Kirk Street for dinner in the evening.

By the way, there's this. "

Arthur said as he took something out of his pocket.
