Pendragon's whiskers fluttered down on the edge of the cat's bowl.

Arthur's heart flashed with joy.

It's been half a month!

Finally!

Finally, I have enough of the six whiskers that [Cat Tachibana] needs!

Do you know how he spent the past half a month?

Skate on thin ice!

Chill!

For fear that if one accidentally reveals a flaw, he will cause death!

You know, in the past half a month, he has to open one eye every day when he sleeps!

Now it's finally good!

As long as he waits until the full moon and completes the [Cat Orange], he can at least sleep peacefully!

The young 'psychic' glanced at the gibbous moon outside the window, and his heart was full of anticipation-

'Three days, three days before the full moon!'

When the time comes, I'm going to have a good meal and celebrate myself!

Right now......

You need to think about how to quietly complete the [Cat Orange] ceremony! ’

Arthur thought quietly as he walked towards Pendragon.

You know, ever since he 'became famous', there have been a lot of eyes around 2 Kirk Street, always staring at him as if they were nothing.

If you want to avoid the prying eyes of these eyes, it is not easy to complete [Cat Orange].

So......

'Do you want to kill them all?' ’

Faced with his first ceremony, Arthur was unprecedentedly cautious, and various extreme plans began to pop up in his heart, but they were quickly vetoed by Arthur.

This kind of 'eye', kill a batch, and there is a batch.

Moreover, once you do it, you will startle the snake.

It can even backfire!

Make those guys pay more attention to themselves and make it more difficult to quietly complete the ritual [Cat Tachibana].

'Do you have to leave South Los for a while?'

Ymir Manor? ’

Arthur subconsciously thought of the manor in the mountains of Garr, far away from South Los.

As for the Oak Manor?

When he thought of that weird, living 'golden oak', Arthur directly denied it.

However, even if you go to Ymir Manor, you need to set it up.

In just a few meters of thought, the young 'psychic medium' had already made a plan—and then, he watched as Pendragon showed a doting smile, and while gently brushing his fingers over the top of the orange cat's head, he unexpectedly put away the beard, and at the same time, he did not forget to say it.

"Pan, if you eat it again, you will have to be called a 'kitten'!"

"Meow?"

Faced with the sudden evil words, Pendragon, who had just finished showing off his cat food, raised his head, and the cat's face was stunned.

Although it can't really understand the meaning of the owner's words, the 'malice' in the owner's words, the kitten is quite sensitive.

However, before the kitten could react, Arthur took him in his arms and motioned for the old sheriff to feed the sheriff.

When the old sheriff began to pour the cat food again, Pendragon was clearly moved again, but unfortunately the orange cat, who was firmly bound by Arthur, could not escape the clutches at all.

This scene amazed the old sheriff.

"Pan, really docile.

I obviously want to eat cat food so much, but in the face of your restraints, I didn't stretch out my paws, let alone bite people! ”

As he spoke, the old sheriff looked at the 'sheriff' who was eating cat food one by one, and the admiration in his mouth sounded again.

"Of course, the same goes for the 'Sheriff'!

It's great to have kittens in such a sinister world! ”

As he spoke, a happy smile appeared on the old sheriff's face.

"You say, is there a possibility...... Pan is full? ”

Arthur's words made the smile on the old sheriff's face stiffen.

If Arthur hadn't been his partner, the old sheriff would have to make such a disappointing person understand why the belt in his uniform was so wide and resilient.

"In the face of such a sinister world, can't you let me have a little fantasy?"

The old sheriff looked helplessly at his partner.

"Let's be realistic instead of fantasizing!"

As he spoke, Arthur put the canvas bag containing the golden cane in front of the old sheriff, and whispered in the surprised face of the other party—

"Our first ship should be ready to be launched."

"Of course!"

"Arthur, what do you think of our first ship?"

Maltz asked immediately after glancing at the canvas bag containing the golden cane.

However, the eagerness in the old sheriff's eyes surprised Arthur.

The young 'psychic medium' could see that the eagerness in the old sheriff's eyes was definitely not greed for gold, but a desire!

Right......

Ship with the sea?

"Maltz, you like to sail?"

With the relationship between Arthur and Maltz, there are doubts, so it is natural to ask directly.

"Well, I love it!

If it weren't for the outbreak of the 'Seven Years' War, I would have chosen a ship to board and become a sailor, relying on time to accumulate my experience, become a boatswain, first mate, and eventually have my own ship and explore the New World in the name of 'adventurer'!" ”

Maltz nodded, his face shining with enthusiasm he had never seen before, and his eyes sparkling brightly.

That is, the yearning for freedom.

It was the dream of the old sheriff.

Even decades later, the dream still thrills the old sheriff.

And this is good news for Arthur.

At least, judging by the performance of the old sheriff, the other party will not be a layman.

Being able to maintain such enthusiasm until now proves that the other party should always keep an eye on the movement of the ship and the sea-

"So, Captain Maltz, what do you propose for our first ship?"

Arthur firmly believes in professional things and leaves them to professional people.

Any layman's finger-pointing will only make things harder.

"If these gold coins are exchanged for gold tickets, they are enough to exchange for a seventy-percent new Kirk galleon and two old 30-oared boats, and these three ships can form a small fleet and let us start coastal trade!

Starting from the port of South Los Sis, the local specialties purchased here will be sent along the inland river to the 'Port of Kilg' in the inner bay, and will pass through the territories of the three nobles of the Marquis of West Berlin, the Marquis of Einhaas, and the Count of Bate, so we can increase the cargo hold, bring less supplies, and bring more goods.

If necessary, we can continue from the port of Kilg in the inner bay and continue along the river to Siddeenburg.

It is also quite wealthy under the management of the 'Yaojin Family'.

However, I recently heard that there is a 'pirate general' in the West Sea, although it is impossible for the other party to enter the port, but I think we should be careful and concentrate on the route from Nanlos to the inner bay!

As long as there are no accidents, you can go back and forth in a month!

Two years is enough to pay us back! ”

The old sheriff didn't think about it, and blurted out a professional gesture, which made Arthur applaud gently.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

With these words, Arthur put Pendragon back in the cat cage and got up to take his leave.

"Huh? What to leave to me? We haven't talked about sailors, captain recruitment, and firepower rationing yet? ”

The old sheriff looked stunned.

"You are a professional!

I believe you!

And me?

There are more important things to deal with! ”

Arthur, who had already walked to the door of the sheriff's office, turned his head and smiled, and then, without giving the old sheriff a chance to stay, walked out quickly.

This is not an excuse!

It's that he really has something to do—

Carefully inspect and count the loot from the secret sanctuary of Harris, the new head of Srattail Alley!
