This time.

Maud would go to the town every day in search of prey.

Over the course of five days, a total of fifteen targets were hunted, an average of three per day.

The gain in constitution is slowly increasing like a snail, and it is estimated that there is still a long way to go before the second star frame.

In terms of knife skills, there has been a significant increase, which is also related to Maude's specific targeting of prey that uses knives.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the first star frame can be condensed in terms of knife skills.

As for the 4.5 million intelligence fee, Maude only took three days to get it together, and went directly to the night bar to let Tatam start collecting intelligence.

In the next two days, Maude earned about 1.5 million Bailey.

It can only be said that those pirates who can put on the bounty order still have more or less money in their wallets.

On this day, Saul returned to the store and left the basement full of barrels of fine wine.

In the short term, it is impossible for the redhead to "grab" Saul's wine, and these wines are enough for Saul to drink alone until the New Year.

Returning to the store with Thor is Arthur, who has not been seen for a long time.

"Today I'm on vacation."

Removing his mask and dressed in casual clothes, Arthur gives a reason why he would come to the store.

In fact, no one had asked him this question before.

Arthur leaned against the counter and chatted awkwardly with Sunny Ny.

Sunny was obviously in the newspaper, but Arthur didn't care at all, even if Sunny didn't pay attention to him, it didn't affect his self-talk.

On the other hand, Maude carefully took note of Arthur's face and was prepared.

This is a rare opportunity, because the funeral director usually wears a mask, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the real face.

"Oh, yes."

Arthur suddenly smiled mysteriously.

Sunny paused, looked up at Arthur, and frowned slightly.

Arthur lowered his voice and said, "An interesting thing happened in the pig factory last night, do you want to know?" ”

"Not interested."

Sonny's eyes suddenly froze.

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and said seriously: "Sunny Sunny Ny, if you want to become stronger, you have to face the past well, so that you can face the future, but every time I talk about the pig factory, your reaction is always so obvious, this is a weakness." ”

"It's none of your business."

Sunny looked indifferent.

Arthur sighed and said, "I'm doing this to help you overcome your weaknesses. ”

Sonny stopped answering the scar when the scar was wantonly revealed, but looked at Arthur with a colder gaze.

Seeing this, Arthur couldn't help but sigh: "In these days, it's really difficult to be a good person." ”

At this moment, Maude quietly came to Arthur's side, and a harmless smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Arthur, I've always admired you."

"Oh?"

Arthur turned his head to look at Maude, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "Boy, you have a lot of vision." ”

At the counter, Sunny looked at Maude, who suddenly came over to praise Arthur, in confusion.

Maude looked at Arthur and said seriously: "No, it's mainly because of Arthur's profession that I am in awe. ”

"Huh? That's right. ”

Arthur felt a hint of something was wrong.

Maud said respectfully, "yes, so I've always been curious, what prompted you to become an admirable cleaner, Brother Arthur?" ”

“……”

Arthur raised an eyebrow.

As a common profession in Mad Hatter, the funeral director will be called a scavenger if you are polite, and a cleaner if you are not polite.

In essence, the nature of a funeral director's job is indeed very similar to that of a cleaner, but it is biased.

So, no mortician wants to be jokingly called a cleaner to your face.

Arthur, of course, did the same.

However, looking at Maude's heartfelt respectful expression, it was really difficult to see a trace of ridicule and mockery.

How could Arthur know that the profession of cleaner is indeed respectable.

Seeing Arthur's silence, Maud didn't stop the topic.

"Also, isn't needlework all that women are good at? But the last time I saw Brother Arthur, you use your needlework with great skill, and I admire it so much. ”

"Huh."

Arthur barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Just at this time, Saul walked out with a jug of wine.

Seeing this, Arthur went directly to take the wine from Thor.

The reason why he came to the store was to buy a pot of wine from Thor.

Now that he had the wine, he left the weapons shop without looking back.

Sunny watched Arthur leave, then looked at Maud with a smile in her eyes.

Maud leaned against the counter and said strangely, "Sunny, you are usually quite venomous, why did you get dumb when you arrived here at Arthur?" ”

"Poisonous tongue? Have it? ”

Sunny wondered, unaware.

"Yes!"

Maud was sure.

On the side, Bailey couldn't help nodding his head, and then secretly said that it was not good, and quickly looked at Sunny and found that the other party was not paying attention, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh."

Sunny didn't take it seriously, so she answered casually, then picked up the newspaper and read it.

Maude smiled helplessly.

He probably guessed why.

Come to think of it, it was the past experience that made Sunny very disgusted with Arthur's deliberate mention of the pig factory in front of her.

Maud wanted to dig deeper, but if she continued to ask, she would inevitably reveal Sunny Scar, so she gave up.

Night.

At dinner, Saul boldly took out a barrel of wine.

He had just moved back with a pile of wine, and there was no psychological burden on him to splurge it.

The wine tastes really good.

After all, it's something worth the redhead's special trip.

One old man, two young and a fat ferret, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but it didn't take long to kill a barrel of wine.

"You little thing, you drink a lot of good."

Thor looked in amazement at Bailey, who was lying lazily on the table.

"It's okay, it's okay, hiccup~~"

Bailey hiccuped as he spoke.

All of a sudden, the table was filled with an even more mellow aroma of wine.

Sunny poured another large bowl of wine for Bailey, looking forward to watching Bailey get fatter and fatter swimming rings.

"Haha."

Thor laughed and prepared to bring another barrel of wine.

"Today, just drink him and don't get drunk!"

"Good!"

Hearing Thor's words, Bailey straightened up, looking like I could fight for another 300 rounds.

Infected by such an atmosphere, Maude couldn't help but drink a few more glasses while laughing.

This drink, but it is a little drunk.

simply, that is, let go of the drink.

Anyway, I'm not going to sneak out at night.

........

A week later.

Maud went to the night bar and got information about the gang cadres from Tatam.

At the same time, it also got a point in time when the bandits might come to Mad Hatter.

"Auction in ten days?"

Maud pondered.

After returning to the weapon shop, Maude returned to the room as soon as possible, and immediately summoned the hunter's notes and wrote down all the information of the gang cadres.

There are three cadre-level combat forces with more detailed information, and further down, there are eleven captain-level figures.

These names, without exception, were written down in Maude's notes.

With that done, Maude went downstairs and came to the store.

Saul and Sunny are there.

The former crossed Erlang's legs and held a small yellow book to read with relish.

The latter sat at the counter and was working on a transformation for a flintlock pistol.

"Thor."

Morde called out Thor's name in a solemn tone.

Perhaps I heard Maude's tone different.

Thor and Sunny put down what they were doing and looked at Maud almost at the same time.

Meeting the gazes of the two, Maude's expression was heavy.

"I found ...... The identity of the murderer who attacked my family's merchant ship. ”

"Huh!?"

Sunny looked moved.

Thor was expressionless.
