They all call me master

The carriage stopped steadily in the small square.

After the patrolman opened the door, Arthur walked into the Shire District Police Station with an empty cage in one hand and Pendragon in the other. He went straight to the Sheriff's Office with greetings of 'Good afternoon, counselor'.

Maltz, who came back ten minutes earlier than Arthur, was teasing the 'sheriff' with a cat-teasing stick made of feathers and wicker. As an old man living alone, Maltz was worried that the 'sheriff' would lack care at home. Now, choose to bring your cat with you when you go to work.

As for the regulations about not being able to bring pets to work?

Sorry, there is no such rule.

Used to have?

Then after he started raising cats, he didn't have to have them anymore.

As the boss of the Shire District Police Department, it is very convenient for Maltz to do something.

After putting away the cat teaser and letting the 'sheriff' go find Pendragon, Maltz asked Simon to pour two cups of tea in. When there were only two people left in the office, the old sheriff lowered his voice and said ——

"Tate's done it."

"Um."

Arthur took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Although he likes sweet things, he doesn't dislike the slight bitterness in the tea, because along with the bitterness, there is a different kind of freshness.

Fresh and refreshing with a hint of sweetness.

After drinking half of the tea in the cup, Arthur sat up straight again and looked at his partners beside him.

"You're confused as to why I'm helping Tate?"

The old sheriff nodded.

With the relationship between the two of them, there is no need to hide this issue.

The old sheriff was really curious.

Because, in the eyes of the old police chief, Tate is really useless. Although he is pure and kind-hearted, he is taken too much advantage of. To a certain extent, such a person will only hold him back.

“Tate is very similar to a former friend of mine.

Simple, kind, and a bit of a good person.

When I see him, I always feel like I'm looking at my friend, so I help him if I can.

Moreover, haven’t you found that being with pure people makes complicated guys like us feel happy? "

Arthur explained.

"No!

I am very simple, you are the complicated one. "

The old sheriff smiled and shook his head.

Arthur gave the old sheriff a straight middle finger.

Then he picked up the golden cane that Dico had brought back before. His fingers gently touched the missing paint part, feeling the golden cold feeling.

"How many are there in total?"

"23!"

The old sheriff reported the number with a wry smile.

Arthur was not surprised, but the corners of his mouth turned up.

The golden cane in his hand weighs about 3 kilograms. If it has 23 pieces, it would be 69 kilograms!

Calculated based on 1 gold coin and 2 grams, it is 17,250 pieces.

This money is enough to buy a pretty good merchant ship!

"Our merchant ship is here!"

Arthur said this.

Maltz was surprised.

Involving such a large amount of gold is not something that he, a police chief, can cover up. It will definitely be reported, and the countess will definitely intervene when the time comes.

Under this premise, I am afraid it will cause fire.

However, the old sheriff didn't persuade him.

Because he believed that Arthur would not be so irrational.

really--

"Believe me, this gold is nothing compared to some things!"

As Arthur said this, he motioned for Maltz to call Simon in.

"Simon, stay hidden, go to No. 6 White Bird Street, and tell the lady to show up here without leaving any trace - I have something to tell her."

"Yes, counselor."

Simon immediately nodded solemnly, and then left the office.

Dico, Andy, Rooney and Simon, whom Martz has recently discovered, are all extremely useful.

Dicko and Rooney are both fat or strong and can be called tough attackers.

Not to mention Andy, he was a sharpshooter in a short period of time, as he had already proven in the previous battle.

And Simon?

It is a universal role that can be placed in any position and will definitely give its best.

In response, Arthur gave his partner a thumbs up gesture.

Maltz smiled and then asked in a low voice.

"You want to involve that lady?"

It's not that the old police chief doesn't welcome Ms. Chang Ye, but in the old police chief's view, Ms. Chang Ye doesn't value the money at all. That lady's auctions probably earn no less than this amount of money every week.

“What’s in?

I'm just charging. "

Arthur said with a smile.

He believed that Malinda would pay a good price for what had just happened—perhaps he could find out by asking elsewhere.

Before he informed her in advance and went to other places to inquire, the lady would not do such a shameful and short-sighted thing.

What's more, the other party still owes him one more time.

That's right, Amuir made up for what happened to Amuir.

But that was Amuir's compensation, what did it have to do with Malinda?

Of course, this also involves Harris, the person in charge of Rat Tail Alley.

Arthur asked Hunter and Newt carefully. When the two entered the 'Tate Cane Shop' that night, they found signs that the cane shop had been rummaged through, but nothing was missing. It was obvious that they were looking for something - that At that time, Arthur would go to the cane store to look for something. Except for Harris, Arthur could not think of anyone else.

That……

Did Harris discover the golden cane?

It should have been discovered, and there might even be a surprise, but when the things Isidore hid were not found, the person in charge of Rat Tail Alley must have been angry.

Then, just throw it aside.

After all, to the head of Rat Tail Alley, what's so great about a golden cane? Gold scepters inlaid with gems are also common in Rat Tail Alley.

‘Those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. The special environment in Rat Tail Alley makes you overlook too many things!

so……

Isn't it too much for you to pay me some 'tuition fees'? ’

Maybe Harris really didn't care, or maybe he really didn't notice it, but once the golden cane got into his hands, it was hard to tell.

For Arthur, this is enough——

This news, he wants to sell it twice!

He wants a win-win situation!

He 'sold' the news to Malinda because of the 'friendship' of long-term cooperation.

He 'sold' the news to Harris because of immediate benefits.

This is not a conflict.

Arthur didn't intend to hide the two of them.

He, the 'spiritual medium', focuses on honesty.

However, this requires skill.

And before that?

You need to fill your stomach.

Maltz agreed.

However, when the food was served, Arthur was in a daze.

It's not bad, on the contrary, it's still so rich: roast beef, smoked chicken legs, salad, baked potatoes, stewed fruit soup and dips.

Exactly the same as yesterday.

Facing Arthur's confused gaze, the old sheriff spoke.

"He's just a police cook.

If you really have the ability, a private kitchen is the best choice. "

Arthur understood.

However, he was still unwilling to give in.

"Don't he have any new recipes?"

"menu?

Of course there is, but according to the regulations - the noon menu of each quarter is prescribed. From January to March, the main menu is pork, from April to June, it is mainly fish, from July to September, it is mainly beef, and from October to December, it is mainly mutton. Lord, there are also regulations for other side dishes. This is a rule left over from the Seven Years' War. In order to treat us preferentially, the food we eat now is in line with the noble generals at that time. "

The old sheriff explained and Arthur rolled his eyes.

"So, the noble generals at that time all wanted to go home, right?"

The noble generals of Nanjun suffered many defeats during the Seven Years' War. Some even abandoned their soldiers and fled with their guards. Many people derided this as "going home". Therefore, the old lion at that time could not Not going to the battlefield, creating miracles, and even popularizing part of [Swift Bird Sword Technique].

Because there is really a lack of soldiers.

"Thirty years ago, if you dared to say this, you would be shot."

the old sheriff was joking.

Arthur didn't care.

Just as he was about to continue saying something, the young 'spiritual medium''s face straightened. In his perception, he clearly felt -

She is coming!
