Chapter 17 Hatred
Maud is satisfied with tonight's harvest.
About fifteen times the physique of ordinary people, as well as the physical skills he had previously practiced, and then a smoothbore flintlock gun with high lethality within 50 meters.
With such capital, there should be no problem in going to the streets.
But if there is a conflict with others, this self-protection ability is still not enough.
In such thoughts, Maud fell into a deep sleep.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't know that the hunting action tonight was watched by Sol and Sunny.
the next day.
When the morning light broke, the two corpses in the alley had been moved, leaving only a pool of dry blood.
Nearby residents came and went in the alleyway, but turned a blind eye to the bloodstains in front of the wall.
Although this is a residential area, the residents living here are basically pirates and people from the underground world, and they are accustomed to this kind of attack and killing.
So, even if the two corpses were still there, at most they would just glance at them when they passed by, and then they wouldn't take it seriously.
After the weapons store opened, Maud took a few steps to watch the "murder" scene from a distance.
Although it is not clear who took the body away, Maud didn't care too much.
For last night's actions, he is confident that he will not be discovered.
Furthermore, Red's pirate group will go out to sea after noon.
And Reid is just a fighter in the Pirates. If he dies, he will die. As long as the funds are sufficient, the Pirates can recruit a group of replacements in Mad Hatter Town at any time.
Therefore, Maud does not think that the pirate group will temporarily change its schedule because of Reid's death.
Unless that other unidentified person would be more important than Reid, important enough for the captain of the Pirates to take it seriously.
This possibility should be low.
Maud thought to himself.
He glanced at the passers-by in the alley, his eyes seemed to be staring at pieces of walking pork.
Withdrawing his aggressive gaze without a trace, Maud returned to the weapon shop and began his exercise routine.
He sensed something was wrong with Sunny, and looked like he was in a dull mood.
I think that there are always so many days every month for women...
Maud didn't want to touch the bad head, squatting in the corner of the store, doing a group of exercises.
"There are still seven days until the auction starts..."
Soon, Maud's mind drifted to the next prey.
In the information provided by Sunny, there are quite a few suitable prey.
However, it has to be delayed for two days before starting.
After all, the hunting frequency should be reduced to reduce the risk of being discovered.
…………
Mad Hatter Harbor.
Pirate ships of various sizes are moored in the huge open "U"-shaped bay.
The Sharp Bull Pirate Ship that Reid was in was also among them, a brig of a not-so-small scale.
When it was time for the voyage, the members of the Sharp Bull Pirates completed their assembly early and were fully prepared for the voyage.
On the deck of the pirate ship, several pirates walked slowly back and forth, as if they were shouldering the duty of vigilance.
In the cabin, the rest of the pirate crew, including the captain, are here.
They were in a circle, with a table in the center on which lay two cold, stiff corpses.
The bushy-bearded captain, Kazsit, in a two-horned helmet, stood at the table.
He stared down at the corpse, like a volcano about to erupt.
Those wide eyes were bloodshot, and the breath exhaled from his mouth and nose seemed to be infected with a layer of killing intent.
Under the influence of Kaszt, there was a chilling atmosphere in the cabin.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, most of the crew members looked solemn, while some crew members were just pretending to match the atmosphere in the cabin.
After a while, as the cabin door was pushed open, the atmosphere in the cabin condensed.
Kaszt looked at the hatch, and the crowd automatically made way for a gap.
A cadre with a long knife on his waist pushed open the door, strode through the gap in the crowd, and came to Kaszt.
Kazette stared at him and asked coldly, "How?"
The cadre named Raglan shook his head and said, "Nothing was found."
"Huh? Not even a clue?"
"Yes."
Raglan's face was calm.
A gloomy look flashed in Kazette's eyes.
Something happened at the juncture, which made him extremely unhappy.
Seeing that his captain was full of anger, Raglan reminded at the right time: "Captain, we have to get back before the auction, there is not much time to delay."
"I don't need you to remind me."
With anger in his eyes, Kazette said coldly, "Ragren, I want you to stay and settle this matter."
"clear."
Raglan takes the lead.
A few minutes later, the Sharp Cow Pirate Ship slowly left the port.
On the eve of the auction, most of the foreign pirate ships entered the port and moored, but few pirate ships chose to set sail at this time.
Many pirates in the port could not help but glance at the Sharp Cow Pirate Ship.
Raglan, who was ordered to stay behind, watched the pirate ship go away, until the pirate ship turned into a small black spot, and he turned around and walked towards the town with an extra bag of money on his waist.
Among the two crew members who were attacked and killed last night, one was a navigator who had been trained in the Pirates for two years.
If only one combatant was killed, it wouldn't be worth the effort at this juncture.
Unlike navigators, that is one of the important capitals to the great waterway.
Therefore, even if there was a more experienced navigator on board, Kaszt couldn't swallow it anyway.
Raglan can understand the captain's mood, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to stay and do this.
Of course, in his heart he was more inclined to set sail. After all, the goal of this voyage was a big prey that could not be lost and never came back.
A big prey like that must have a wonderful looting experience.
"Pity."
Raglan thought regretfully.
Half an hour later, he came to Bar Street.
Instead of looking at the large-scale taverns on both sides of the street, they looked in the direction of the alley.
Go through the flow of people and walk into an alleyway between houses.
After walking down the alley for about ten minutes, Raglan stopped in front of a bar shop.
He looked at the oil lamp made of skulls hanging on the wall, then pushed open the door of the bar and strode in.
Inside the bar, a bartender who was wiping a glass glanced at Raglan who came in, but did not say hello.
Raglan glanced at the dimly lit bar, and there was not even half a customer.
He looked back, turned to the bartender in the bar, and asked, "Is the wolf rat not here?"
"..."
The bartender glanced at Raglan silently and placed the wiped glass on the hanger.
Raglan frowned, and when he was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I've always been there."
Hearing the sudden voice, Raglan's face changed drastically.
when……?
While his emotions were shaking, Raglan took a few steps forward suddenly, and then quickly turned to look at the source of the sound.
At the same time, his right hand has already climbed up on the hilt of the knife, making a posture that he can attack at any time.
And when he saw that the person speaking was a man as thin as a bamboo pole with sharp eyebrows and sharp mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"You're... a werewolf?"
