Picking up Girls With My System

Chapter 380 More Followers, And Gossip

Yeva could not wait to practice the new meditation she got with Arthur. She knew the contents of the technique and how far it could lead her, and the truth was extraordinary!

The Dragon Aspect technique could make the Dragon Priests reach rank 6! Not only that, but they would receive the techniques from the dragons, thus making them stronger than ordinary mages!

She dreamed of becoming a powerful mage and making her dead parents proud, and with the help of the Dragon Aspect and Arthur, Yeva would make that happen.

"What happened, Yeva?" Nykka said.

"I am a Dragon Priest, and Arthur gave me the Dragon Aspect Technique! Nykka, Tarinne, this dragon spell can be used for us until rank 6! It was our dream, remember? To be strong."

"Rank 6?"

They could not believe Arthur would give them such a powerful technique! After hearing that, Tarinne and Nykka, who still had doubts, stepped forward to receive the Dragon's Mark.

No one would follow someone that did not give them any benefits and would only make their life harder. But Arthur? He would grant them many things, things they never thought possible.

Nykka was the next. She received the mark, got the meditation, and bowed in respect. Tarinne was the last and did the same.

Now, the more they practiced the meditation, the more power Arthur would get, and the Dragon Priests would get power too! It was a win for both sides, and the more followers Arthur acquired, the stronger he would become.

There was another thing his system would do. There was a percentage of worship that would increase with the meditation. When it reached the maximum, both Arthur and his followers would get new dragon skills, meaning Arthur could recover his dragon powers without relying on previous techniques.

That could mean he was building a new era of dragons, an age where they would get stronger than in the past and get their revenge!

Anyone with the Dragon's Mark could not betray the dragons, or they would die. That was the price of getting their powers, and most people were okay with it.

"Are you three planning on doing something?"

"I don't think so."

"Follow me, then."

Arthur and the three girls returned to the dragon mountains. Why? Arthur had to give the meditation to Garry, Larry, and Terry, and he would send the three girls with them to spread the word.

It was good that the adventurers were waiting outside the mountains, meaning Garry and his brothers had yet to leave, so Arthur did not need to go after them.

They were preparing to leave when Arthur appeared, "yo, we have three more helpers. These three are also my Dragon Priests. This one is Garry, that one is Larry, and the other is Terry."

"What is up with their names?" Nykka asked.

"They are brothers."

"Oh, I see."

"Lord, this is incredible!"

"Come here, you three; I have a technique to pass on. Also, there is another thing, and this is an order. The girls will go with you to see the dwarves, and if you do anything pervert with them or try anything…."

"Lord, we would never do something like that, even if they weren't fellow Dragon Priests. Rest assured, nothing weird will happen!"

"Good to hear. Now, come here."

The three brothers went in front of Arthur, one by one, and received their meditation technique. None of them could believe something like that existed!

"Rank 6? Lord, isn't this too overpowered?"

Arthur rolled his eyes at that statement and said, "So, I will leave you to know each other, as I have things to do. Bye, everyone. Before I forget, use the Dragon Mark to speak with me if anything happens."

Then, after giving the technique to everyone and making sure they would treat each other decently, Arthur left the dragon mountains again, and this time, there was no way to get in his way.

Well, that was until he reached the capital.

~~~~

Rolmuth was the biggest city where Arthur had his potion shop. Before, he used the sewers — the only weak spot he found — but now, it would not be possible.

It seemed the people in charge of the city noticed the weak spot and increased its security, and now, not even Arthur could break through.

This meant he would have to pass through the main gate, and with the magical devices and the strong mages around, he would not be able to enter using another appearance.

"Name?" a guard asked when it was Arthur's turn to get inspected.

"Arthur."

"What businesses do you have here in the capital?"

"I own a potion shop called Frostpeak Potion Shop. I was out seeking some specific ingredients for my potions."

"What? No way you are the owner of that place," the guard said, shaking his head from side to side.

"Why is that?"

"Well, that place is the most famous potion shop in the city! Also, aren't some ladies the owners?"

"No, I am. You can go fetch the documents while I wait here."

Anyone that bought a house, a shop, or anything, had registered in the city, and the guards could look up if they doubted Arthur.

And guess what? They did! Another guard came to keep watch on Arthur while the one who had spoken with him left to look for the documents proving Arthur was the shop owner.

It took one hour, and when the guard was back, he could not be more sorry.

"I am so sorry, Sr. Arthur. I made you wait here all this time…."

"It is okay. You were doing your job."

"Forgive me, please. Your shop is the best one in the city! Look, no one will bother you anymore, and you can enter and leave the city as you please!"

"Thank you for that," Arthur said, smiling, and went inside the city.

Everyone else who was around, waiting in line, was gossiping about him.

"That is the owner of the Frostpeak Potion Shop? He is so young and handsome!"

"Aren't you married?"

"Shh, shut up!"

Arthur's appearance quickly spread throughout the city, with people talking about how he looked, dressed, and behaved. In a matter of hours, almost everyone knew what the owner of the Frostpeak Potion Shop looked like, and some people disliked him.

"That is the survivor of the Coldharbour family?" a man dressed in black said to another one in a dark alley.

There was one thing both men had in common: their red eyes and sharp fangs.

"Yes, we must start preparations to take him down here, inside the city."

"Wouldn't that be too hard? This place is well protected."

"Correct, and that is our best chance! A surprise attack."

~~~~

The first place Arthur went was his potion shop, which had a row of people in front, waiting to go inside to buy potions.

They had been there the whole morning and had yet to know about the new hot gossip: the shop owner.

So, when he passed through them, many of them were angry.

"Hey, get on the line! You are just like everyone else here."

Arthur just looked at those people and ignored them, passing through everyone and entering the shop, HIS shop.
