They all call me Great Master

When the sky had completely darkened, a strong feeling of hunger woke Pendragon from his sleep, followed by an aroma, an incomparable aroma.

Almost instinctively, Pendragon leapt toward the source of the scent.

And then...

He landed in Arthur's arms.

A large gold coin was spinning between Arthur's fingers, and Pendragon's gaze followed the coin's motion, but his body was rubbing against Arthur subconsciously, and he was meowing softly.

In Arthur's eyes, the following text appeared:

[Name: Pendragon]

[Type: Pet]

[Quality: Entry (-)]

[Attributes: 1, Orange Cat Physique III; 2, Baptism II; 3, Griffin Complete Form. Cripple; 4, Griffin Secret Art. Cripple]

[Remarks: After being showered in the light of your baptism twice, Pendragon ingested the 'Griffin Spirit Potion'. This potion, perfectly combined with the previously ingested 'Griffin Physique Potion' during this baptism, has begun the advancement from an arcane creature to an entry-level creature (-). And this process has not yet finished—it will approximately take another 2048 days till Pendragon can become a true entry-level creature. With the genuine 'awakening' of 'spirituality', Pendragon can clearly perceive its own changes and understand the depths of your kindness. Its affection for you has surpassed all imagination—Meow Meow Meow~]

...

[Orange Cat Physique III: The orange cat possesses a natural talent; as long as there is plenty of food, it will quickly become stronger. With the remnant glow of the 'Great Orange' ritual and combined with the 'Griffin Spirit Potion', the orange cat's natural talent not only allows Pendragon to easily break through physical limits, bringing a more robust physique but also causes a qualitative change in Pendragon's strength, speed, and defense, and its initial 'spirituality' will be higher than that of average creatures]

[Baptism II: 'The Orange Cat' and the remnant glow of the 'Great Orange' ritual have integrated with the effects of 'Griffin Spirit Potion', causing Pendragon to undergo earth-shattering changes. Not only has its intelligence reached the level of an adult, but it has also awakened talents such as 'Thick Flesh', 'Body Control', and 'Airflow', and at the same time, its appetite has begun to exaggerate]

[Griffin Complete Form. Cripple: 'Orange Cat Physique III' and 'Baptism II' have wholly fused the full 'Griffin Physique Potion' and 'Griffin Spirit Potion', not only transforming Pendragon but also endowing it with the legendary 'Griffin Transformation'! In its normal state, Pendragon's strength, speed, endurance, and agility have already surpassed ordinary griffins, and when Pendragon chooses to 'Griffin Transform', it can temporarily become a 'Royal Griffin', aiding you in combat as a griffin or to ride upon!

The existence of the talent 'Thick Flesh' allows its fur to effortlessly resist swords, arrows, bullets, and even when facing flames, acid, poison, and thunder, it remains unruffled. When transformed into a griffin, the 'Thick Flesh' talent is somewhat enhanced, and when the 'Body Control' is unleashed, the griffin form Pendragon takes on will far exceed the size of an ordinary griffin.

The 'Airflow' talent allows Pendragon to create winds to fly faster, attack enemies with wind blades, or hover.

Its movement is increasingly silent, and its leaping ability has undergone a qualitative change, enabling it to glide short distances at will. Especially its eyes, which not only see through the darkness but also have a strong ability to penetrate supernatural darkness. Stealthy and invisible creatures can hardly escape its gaze, especially lost souls. The most important are its claws—able to easily tear through steel]

[Griffin Secret Art. Cripple: It has a certain degree of 'Telekinesis', and can also somewhat control storms and thunder.]

(Note 1: Lacking the 'Griffin Gale Potion', Pendragon's condition is not complete, and its knowledge of the Griffin Secret Art is merely superficial.)

(Note 2: After evolving into the "Griffin Complete Form.Cripple," Pendragon not only developed a much bigger appetite, but also became capable of devouring special items like gold and gems as its food. Of course, its previous dietary habits remained the same. In a single meal, it could consume an entire cow. Additionally, eating a large amount of food in a short period allowed Pendragon to acquire a hibernating stomach. Similarly, Pendragon could also go without food for long periods, but it would then crave meaty foods to compensate—after that, Pendragon developed a strong preference for gold, gems, and meats filled with "spirituality," and it couldn't choose vegetarian options. Faced with vegetarian dishes, Pendragon would become gloomy and then the little cat's irritability would set in.)

(Note 3: After taking the Griffin Potion and still experiencing the afterglow of the "Orange Cat" and "Great Orange" rituals, you're not only able to communicate with Pendragon without any barriers, but at times, you even have a shared understanding—of course, a shared understanding doesn't mean it will always listen to you.)

(Note 4: Pendragon's second promotion, having bathed in the rituals of "Orange Cat" and then "Great Orange," gave you feedback, enhancing the special effects and overall efficiency of your "Great Orange" ritual once again.)

(Note 5: After being baptized twice and acquiring the Griffin Physique and Spirituality, Pendragon's lifespan significantly extended; even in harsh environments, it could easily live for several centuries.)

...

Feeling the feedback from Pendragon's promotion, Arthur's lips curled into a smile.

If before, one day could reduce the ritual "Great Orange" by one point less than the limit of XP, now it could reduce it by two points. Adding his own 'effort' into the mix, at least three points of XP could be reduced every day.

That means, for the ultimate limit of 99,999 XP points, it would only take 33,333 days.

That's just over 91 years...

So long!

It's almost beyond imagination!

After doing some quick math, Arthur's smile almost faltered.

Where would he get 91 years to slowly chip away at this?

'Indeed!

This gradual approach is not for me!

I must fully showcase my talent to its limits!'

Arthur glanced at the XP bar—

["The whereabouts of Sakiri, the Devil of Dokiman Island, were discovered by you using divination, surprising many. Had it not been for the report of the South Los Daily, everyone would have thought it was the work of a scammer. But with the backing of the South Los Daily and the Earl of South Los, your deed is being admired, and news of it is spreading even faster across South Los and has caught the attention of those beyond; XP+1000]

[More people have heard your name: XP+600]

...

With the unexpected backing of the Earl of South Los, today's XP gain came as a pleasant surprise.

Especially the second daily XP point, which was originally starting to decline, but now it not only rebounded to its original increase but also rose again.

"I hope it can hold on for a few more days!"

That's what Arthur thought.

Then, the young "Spirit Medium" sighed softly.

"I'm still not famous enough.

In South Los, perhaps I have enough renown.

But outside of South Los?

I'm afraid not many people have heard of me.

This won't do, I need to bring a little bit of shock to the people outside of South Los!"

And what could be more shocking than the 'Spirit Medium' from South Los being a member of the 'Golden Lion Family'?

Naturally, it is that the South Los 'Spirit Medium' is the sole heir of the 'Golden Lion Family'!

At this moment, Arthur had already begun to contemplate how to naturally reveal the fact that he was the heir of the 'Golden Lion Family'.

This piece of news, once it breaks, will definitely shake South County.

By then, a large amount of XP value is sure to be credited.

Similarly, a crisis will also descend.

So, caution is necessary.

However, that's a matter for later, there's still more time to think about it.

And now?

Watching Pendragon continuously swallow saliva, Arthur just tossed out a gold coin—

"It's you, Pan!"

The gold coin traced an arc, but before it could truly fly away, Pendragon opened his mouth, and an airflow emerged from nowhere, sweeping the gold coin back and dropping it into Pendragon's mouth.

Once faced with the gold coin, Pendragon licked it up eagerly, as if he were licking a cat treat.

Only, the cat treat at this moment was round.

And...

Expensive too!

Watching the large gold coin melt away, Arthur couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of family is this, feeding gold coins to a cat."

A sigh escaped him, his face full of helplessness.

For Arthur, he himself couldn't bear to directly swallow gold coins.

Though they did taste really good, they were truly expensive.

Army rations or the like were good enough to fill the stomach.

As for Pendragon?

Maybe eating them occasionally shouldn't be a problem, right?

Somehow, Arthur had the absurd notion that he could eat cheaper army rations, but his dragon had to eat gold coins.

Shaking off such an illusion quickly, Arthur shook his head.

"Daddy can't bear to eat gold coins, and you want to eat them?

Dream on!"

As Arthur faced Pendragon's pleading gaze, he grabbed a handful of gold coins while muttering to himself.

Watching Pendragon lick the gold coins eagerly, Arthur suddenly thought of something.

Instantly, the young 'Spirit Medium's' face became serious.
