They all call me Great Master-Chapter 627 - 624: Boarding the Ship!

Arthur's gaze fell on [Annotation 2].

He focused intently on 'preference for gold, gemstones, and meat filled with 'spirituality''!

"Pan, unless I give the order, you absolutely must not eat humans!"

Arthur said sternly.

Meow?

The little kitty licking the gold coin looked puzzled.

It seemed to be asking why it should eat human.

But Arthur, who was in tune with the kitten's thoughts, could clearly sense Pendragon's eagerness to try — basically, "Hey, this looks edible, maybe I should take a bite, if it's not tasty I'll spit it out."

Regarding this thought...

"Kitty toss!"

With a low shout, Pendragon became a cat ball flying towards the wall.

And Pendragon adjusted his posture even faster than before.

The way he glided around the bend before landing smoothly looked incomparably slick.

However, unlike before, in the next moment, Pendragon was picked up by the scruff of the neck by Arthur's fate.

"Pan, experience a game Dad just developed—

Kitty Invincible Wind Fire Wheel!"

As he said these words, Arthur began to rapidly spin his arm holding Pendragon.

Immediately, the whole cat began to blur with the rotation.

Ms. Anna, who was preparing lunch, watched this scene with a smile.

Ms. Anna did not intervene.

Because she knew that this was for Pendragon's own good.

Some things simply couldn't be started.

Once they were started, one would truly fall into the abyss.

Of course, if Arthur gave his word, then that would be a different matter altogether.

The double-standard Ms. Anna continued to return to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Arthur was 'educating' Pendragon under the guise of playing with him.

When Arthur grew tired of playing, it was time for Pendragon to ride the doggy bus.

Kuliqi and Kiri declared their innocence.

Fujin and Wuni watched silently.

Stolas and Mapa occasionally let out a caw, as if laughing out loud, which gave Kuliqi and Kiri an outlet after being bullied by Pendragon.

In the days that followed, Stolas and Mapa would frequently be seen with feathers flying.

Arthur would scold them when he saw this.

Afterward, Kuliqi and Kiri controlled their strength very well.

Stolas and Mapa, in turn, got plenty of exercise.

At least they gained ample experience in dealing with creatures emerging from the Shadows.

Time passed day by day.

Soon, the calendar reached January 9th—

This morning, the laborers at the docks noticed something different.

In the Docklands today, there were many more respectable people.

Not only were they dressed brightly and beautifully, some were even riding in horse-drawn carriages, not the public kind, but private carriages, and in addition, there were many blue-uniformed patrol officers at the docks.

Many laborers did not know what was happening.

But the well-informed already turned their gaze towards the white passenger ship moored in the harbor.

Experienced sailors could tell that this was a passenger ship refitted from a Carrack sailing ship, different from the deep draft of typical ocean-going carracks, this Carrack sailing ship had a cleverly designed draft that allowed it to easily navigate Inland Rivers, even fully loaded with passengers without worry.

Free of heavy cargo, even if every room aboard this Carrack sailing ship was occupied, there would be no issues.

Because, even with all the rooms filled, there would only be 35 people.

At first, the shipbuilders could not believe Arthur's plans to refurbish the rooms of this ship named 'Oriental'.

According to their understanding, the more passengers a cruise ship had, the better.

Only then could it quickly recover the cost.

A cruise ship with only 35 rooms, each quite large, accommodating 1-3 people each, seemed impossible to be profitable.

Even if the ship was run down, it was unlikely.

But Marinda was very supportive of this.

Because this lady had guessed what Arthur was up to.

The "Oriental" wouldn't be open to ordinary people or the poor, let alone an average middle-class citizen; only the rich merchants and the wealthy were eligible to board.

Of course, nobles were also welcome to attend.

In this regard, Marinda was quite confident.

For on this passenger ship, not only were there dining rooms, fencing rooms, card rooms, and salons, but also a theater, a library, and a tobacco room.

Simply put, when you stepped aboard the "Oriental," you were sure to feel the sensation of being at 'home'.

For this reason, Marinda had more than once admired Arthur for his adaptability.

In fact, Arthur had done nothing more than replicate a cruise liner.

If it hadn't been for the technical limitations and the violation of the public order and good customs of South County, Arthur would have also liked to add a swimming pool.

"Where is Arthur?"

Seated in the carriage, Marinda asked her coachman.

"Lord Kledos has already set off," the coachman immediately responded.

"Uh-huh, that's good."

Marinda nodded and took a deep breath in secret.

This was not like the previous minor scuffles.

This time, it qualified as being under the scrutiny of all eyes.

Even though she had practiced alone more than a dozen times the night before, Marinda still felt somewhat nervous at this moment.

The lady's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the window.

The dense crowd made the lady inwardly complain about Arthur's naivety.

'Making it a newspaper headline!

Launching a passenger ship, yet making it a newspaper headline!

Moreover, across all of South Los's papers!

How naive!

But admittedly, the effect was rather good. All the wealthy and idle individuals from South Los had come.

Perhaps I could give it a try too.'

While the lady criticized, she also pondered.

Though she knew Arthur enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, the current scenario was more than just that, there was a deeper implication.

The lady knew that, thanks to Arthur's maneuvering,

For a significant period of time, the "Orient" would not lack for patrons.

And moreover...

Marinda's gaze was drawn towards the bow of the "Orient."

There, "Chief Sailor" Old John was standing with Level 1 Sailor Xavier.

"So many people, Chief Sailor!"

A week's acquaintance had accustomed Xavier to addressing Old John as 'Chief Sailor' rather than Captain John.

To this, Old John was indifferent.

Moreover, at this moment, Old John didn't have the time to pay attention to Xavier.

The old pirate's gaze surveyed the entire Docklands like that of a hawk.

'So many fellows focused on the "Oriental"?

There are several troublesome ones!'

The old pirate's vigilance had soared to its highest in his heart.

He certainly didn't wish for the "Oriental" to sink before even leaving the harbor.

That involved his freedom, after all!

Therefore, he inspected every single detail of the upcoming ceremonial cannon fire, the red carpet, the flowers, the band.

Although he had already checked them once before.

The red carpet rolled down directly from the "Oriental's" gangway, extending onto the dock and about ten meters forward.

Here, the servants directly ignited the ceremonial cannons.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The continuous sound of cannon fire rose in the Docklands.

Then, two sweet-faced ladies stood at the very front of the red carpet and said with beaming smiles —

"We invite guests with tickets to board the ship."
