An hour before dawn, Wiggins walked through the darkness.

The shock on his face could not be concealed, even in the dark.

What a surprise!

Maltz went to the Count's mansion.

What was even more surprising was that the reclusive Earl actually received the other party - he saw Maltz walk into the Earl's mansion with his own eyes.

Then, he went straight to Arthur.

It's not that I don't want to keep watching, and it's not that I don't have enough manpower.

Rather, it was because as Maltz entered the Count's Court, the Count's guards expanded their patrols.

Wiggins didn't dare to stay long, and after signaling his two men to leave, he reported directly to Arthur.

Jumping over the fence at 2 Kirk Street, Wiggins did not pull the doorbell, but knocked lightly.

The next moment, the door opened.

Arthur, dressed in his pajamas, held a bowl and sucked the noodles as he motioned for him to come in.

Supper?!

Wiggins blinked, always feeling that this scene was a little weird, completely inconsistent with his impression of the mysterious and blood-stained Arthur.

'Mediums' also eat supper?

Thinking in his heart, this golden finger did not delay, and immediately informed his employer of everything.

Arthur listened while eating, and when the last noodle was finished, he picked up the bowl and poured a whole bowl of soup into his stomach.

Belch~~

The rich beef broth made Arthur burp in satisfaction, and then put the bowl down and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Comfortable!"

In the dead of night, there are always people who feel hungry.

There are no skewers, hot pot, fried chicken, and fat house water.

But there's still ......

Face!

Even if it's not instant noodles, it still satisfies Arthur's stomach.

In the same way, it also makes Arthur's mood good enough.

"Would you like a bowl?"

Arthur asked.

Wiggins immediately waved his hand, as a goldfinger, he didn't have the habit of eating supper, but ...... This noodle tastes so good!

Would you like to have a bite to eat?

But right away, Wiggins shook his head and shook the thought out of his head.

There are more important things to discuss right now.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Wiggins asked with a solemn expression.

After accepting Arthur's employment, he and Arthur are now grasshoppers in the same boat.

If something happened to Arthur, he wouldn't be much better.

Especially when it comes to the Count of South Los!

It can be said that Wiggins at this time was already in turmoil.

Arthur's face was indifferent and relaxed.

"Just wait."

"Trust Maltz."

Arthur looked at the anxious Wiggins and smiled and reassured.

This kind of appeasement is effective.

Wiggins quickly calmed down.

Because, he believed that Arthur was not a man without purpose.

But in the bottom of his heart, he still has doubts.

"How could Maltz be connected to that count?"

Wiggins said rather tactfully.

In fact, what Wiggins wanted to say was that if Maltz really had anything to do with the Count of South Ros, he would be bullied into that.

"Of course Maltz doesn't, but everyone else does!"

Arthur explained.

"Others?"

"He's only Middle, Git?"

Wiggins frowned, still not figuring out the key point

Of course, Wiggins had heard the names of Middlel and Git, but like Maltz, if these two were related to the Earl of South Loss, would they have been a sixth-class police officer for more than two years before becoming a regular officer?

Middle, Git, in a way, in the Shire, that's quite famous.

Because, the two are the only two probationary police officers in the history of South Los Ros!

After the implementation of the new law, the staffing of the Shire District Police Department will be two third-class officers, three fourth-class officers and four fifth-class officers, as well as a number of patrol officers, except for one sergeant, who is considered a first-class officer.

As for probationary police officers?

It belongs to the sixth class of police officers.

Middlel and Git passed the layers of assessment and became sixth-level police officers.

Then, the two who were supposed to be officially regularized a year later took more than two years to become regulars to become fifth-level police officers.

Therefore, in the daily life of the Shire District, there are six fifth-level police officers.

Afterwards?

There is no longer a so-called probationary police officer in the Shire District, just as according to the new law, a second-class police officer should be assigned as a deputy sergeant, but for various reasons, there has been no allocation.

Even, even old Charlie mentioned the names of the two more than once in front of his predecessor.

lamented the luck and misfortune of the two.

Luckily, he has the status of a police officer.

Unfortunately, it was out of place in front of the original officers.

That was before, though!

Right now?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Because, a new order will appear in the Shire District Police Department - the new law can be implemented in South Los three years ago, with the approval of the Count of South Los Justice, otherwise there would be no two probationary police officers, Middlel and Git, even if they are under pressure, at least they will be implemented.

Even if there are layers of resistance in the back, it doesn't matter if the form is greater than the reality.

Arthur believed that Maltz would overcome the resistance.

And, it becomes power.

Just hold on—

Benefit!

That's right, it's profit!

If it were him for tonight, when he visited the Earl in the name of Middlel and Git, he would have confessed that he would give all the wealth of the remaining Sergeant III, three Sergeant IV, and four Sergeant V.

And promised that the wealth of Würth and Lauke would also belong to the count.

At the same time, it was also promised that the wealth of the remaining sheriffs and police officers would eventually be handed over to the earl.

Anyway, how to exaggerate and say.

As long as the Earl is tempted.

And the dust settled.

And will the Earl be tempted?

Yes!

No one will refuse to have wealth for nothing.

Especially when your belongings aren't in good shape.

Although the Earl is the master of Nanlos, he has his own manor, farm, hunting garden, and fleet, which is extremely enviable.

But in the same way, the annual maintenance of the hunting garden and the fleet is an astronomical amount.

It is simply impossible to break even on the output of estates and farms.

This can only be done by relying on the fleet.

This year, however, the rainy season was more than a month longer than usual, and the continuous heavy rain prevented the earl's fleet from leaving the port for a long time.

I'm afraid some of the goods on it are about to mold.

Presumably, the earl was already in a hurry.

After all, in addition to the two gold-devouring beasts of the hunting garden and the fleet, the earl had to pay a considerable amount of taxes to the Grand Duke of the Inner Bay every year.

The day to pay taxes is approaching.

Therefore, Arthur can already think of the future prosperity of Middlel and Gitter.

However, the most important thing is Maltz!

With the current gains, for the sake of future gains, the other party will definitely send Maltz to the position of Sheriff of the Shire District.

And, of course, one more thing: a good reputation!

After getting rid of these moths and blue-skinned devils, the Count will surely gain a better reputation among the people of South Los and will be praised by the people.

Under such a premise, why not do it?

Of course, in case the Earl was insane and didn't approve of this, he would just kill Maltz - though the odds were slim to none, judging by the rumors of the past.

But Arthur, who was accustomed to preparing with both hands, had already packed his luggage.

In the event of an accident, he runs away.

Whether he went to hide in the mountains and forests to become a bandit, or went to sea to be a pirate, he was ready.

However, he did not inform Wiggins about any of this.

Just took out 1 golden ticket and handed it to the other party.

Staring at Maltz's task, the other party did a great job.

Next, the task of finding the real foothold of the toad still needs to rely on the other party - in yesterday's battle, due to the angle, the other party clearly saw the face of the toad before it was burned by sulfuric acid.

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Although Wiggins still had doubts in his heart, he still accepted the golden ticket and left this doubt behind.

Controlling one's curiosity well is the only rule that Wiggins was able to grow up on the streets.

Wiggins then got up to take his leave.

At this moment, the light of day has gradually brightened.

There are new people on the street right away.

Neither Arthur nor Wiggins wanted to be seen.

Wiggins quickly flashed out the gate of 2 Kirk Street and headed straight down the street towards Dahl Lane.

And at this time, a group of newspaper boys rushed out of Dahl Lane with newspapers on their backs—

"Extra! Extra! ”

"Constable Maltz solves the murder of Sergeant Würth and Constable Otto!"

"The Fearless of the Stormborn, the Guardian of the Inland Sea, the Owner and Ruler of the Southern Isles, the Chancellor, and the Admirer of the New Law, the Count of South Los has signed a letter of appointment to promote Sergeant Malz to Sheriff of the Shire!"

Suddenly, Wiggins froze in place.
