They all call me master

firecracker!

Or rather firecrackers!

It’s already the ‘Winter Festival’, how could we not set off cannons!

And this did not trouble Arthur.

After what happened with Nicole (Andorra's mother-in-law) and Cotton, how could Arthur not make more preparations? He had previously asked Merlin to order enough fireworks at the grocery store.

And when everyone buys fireworks, firecrackers are naturally included.

Although the world in front of us does not have the habit of setting off firecrackers during festivals, firecrackers are set off during circus performances, and some clowns will wrap their bodies with firecrackers, light them up, and gain everyone's attention amidst the sound of firecrackers and continuous screams. The more miserable the laughter, the happier it becomes.

Sometimes, happiness is so simple.

While Ms. Anna and Malinda were still serving dishes, Arthur winked at Linda and Maltz.

Isn’t it time to have a ‘winter feast’?

The two of them didn't know why, but they still followed Arthur.

By the time the two came to the yard, Kulich and Keely were already squatting next to Arthur carrying two boxes of firecrackers and fireworks from the safe house in the basement.

"firecrackers?"

Linda was stunned.

"Uh-huh."

Arthur nodded repeatedly, picked up the fireworks and walked out of the small courtyard, standing directly on Kirk Street. At this time, Kirk Street was already empty of people, and the people standing on the side of Simok Avenue in the distance were The patrol police didn't notice this at all. Even though they had just carried away a charred corpse, it didn't make the two of them feel any more upset. After all, that was at the door of No. 2 Kirk Street. Whatever happened, it didn't matter. It is possible.

Since you appear there, you must be mentally prepared.

Therefore, after the two patrol policemen handed over the body of the reporter who was killed by winter thunder, they returned to the guard box again.

Then……

The two of them looked at their home in the distance, dazed.

Undoubtedly, they are all thinking about their loved ones at home and the taste of the ‘winter banquet’.

At times like this, no one would blame them.

Even if you see it, you will sigh and say that it is not easy to be a patrol officer——

Whoosh, bang!

After a muffled sound, bright fireworks illuminated the two of them.

Likewise, it also illuminates Arthur and Maltz.

After seeing Arthur and Maltz, the two patrolmen immediately came to their senses.

Almost instantly, the two patrolmen not only straightened their bodies, but also ran all the way to Arthur and Maltz.

"Your Excellency, Chief Constable!"

The two patrolmen saluted.

As time went by, after taking all four of Dicko, Andy, Rooney, and Simon under his command, and with the cooperation of two original fifth-level police officers, Middle and Gitte, the entire Shire District Police Department had already been Maltz's work is watertight, especially Maltz's willingness to be considerate of his subordinates.

Therefore, the entire Shire District Police Department maintains considerable respect for Maltz.

As for Arthur?

As Arthur's reputation grew, especially after he won the 'Nanlos Sword Competition' and gained the status of a 'knight', the people in the Shire District Police Department became more and more in awe of their advisor.

However, looking at Arthur setting off fireworks and firecrackers during the Winter Festival, the two patrol officers were still puzzled.

Noticing the doubts of the two patrolmen and the neighbors on Kirk Street who were poking their heads around, Maltz, as Arthur's friend, stood up directly——

"This is a kind of 'spiritual medium' ritual that can ward off disasters and pray for everyone."

Maltz said immediately.

This is of course a 'white lie' to protect one's friends.

Moreover, the old sheriff was extremely skillful and knew what people liked and disliked.

After seeing the two men suddenly realizing it and the surrounding neighbors looking like this, the old police chief immediately picked up a bunch of firecrackers, lit them, and threw them into the air.

Bang bang bang!

A series of crisp sounds.

There were also the fireworks that Arthur lit from time to time.

Immediately, the eyes of the neighborhood children on Kirk Street were wide with longing.

Some parents who felt sorry for their children immediately had the courage to come over.

“Um, um, can you give me a firework?

I can pay for it! "

Mr. Duer stuttered a little while speaking, and his eyes were fixed on the long and slender fireworks in the box, instead of the more beautiful large fireworks in the shape of a pile.

But he was worried that Arthur wouldn't give it to him.

“Take this one.

It is enough to drive away bad luck and pray for blessings. "

Arthur picked up a hanging whip and handed a magic bullet-like firework to the neighbor.

"thanks, thanks."

Mr. Duer was overjoyed. After putting the 1 rope in the box, he ran to his son and daughter with the magic bullet. In front of the two little guys, Mr. Duer puffed up his belly, as if he had returned from victory. The general's face showed, "Dad is great, right?" Come on and praise Dad!

"Dad is so awesome!"

The little daughter's clear cry made Mr. Duer's heart melt as an old father's heart.

"Come on, daddy hugs me!"

He directly picked up his little daughter, let her sit on his shoulders, and lit the magic bomb with one hand.

As for the son?

unimportant.

Whoosh, snap!

Whoosh, snap!

Magic bombs were launched one after another, and the children around them became even more noisy. One by one, they tugged on their parents' clothes. With Mr. Doerr taking the lead, the middle-class people living in Kirk Street naturally started to learn from them without any hesitation. Like Mr. Doerr, exchange money for fireworks.

And, it’s a high price.

Arthur did not refuse.

To get, there must be sacrifice.

This is his philosophy in life.

Therefore, he would not be so generous as to give it away for free.

because--

Doing that will only get you one or two words of praise that you will turn around and forget about, but you won't get anything. In fact, sometimes it will be counterproductive.

He was slandered by some guys in all kinds of unbelievable ways, but people around him believed it.

This is the human heart.

It’s more human nature.

Arthur, who knew this well, would not do such a wasteful thing.

He just wants to set off a firecracker.

After finishing the whip in his hand, Arthur raised his hand to get another whip.

And at this time——

Ding!

A clear voice sounded.

This is the sound of gold coins.

Arthur was all too familiar with this sound.

But at this time, Arthur's whole body tensed up.

Because, before the sound appeared, he didn't realize there was anyone there at all.

A guy like Arthur who is so paranoid that he can't wait to open his eyes while sleeping, how could he not be vigilant when so many people gathered around him?

Therefore, no matter how many people are around, everyone is within Arthur's perception.

but,

This person was not here just now.

A large gold coin fell into the box.

A white hand reached into the box and took out a pile of fireworks.

Arthur remained calm and picked up the target firecracker as usual.

As the firecrackers were lit, Arthur glanced at the figure that was not in his perception with the corner of his eye.

Then--

Huh? ! !
