Chapter Thirty-Eight: Borrowing? No problem, hehe
Roy put this problem in front of Ainabelle, and Ainabel also realized the seriousness of the problem, she solemnly raised her head and said to Roy: "No! Roy! If it is really certain that someone is going to be unfavorable to the Duke, we must take action to stop it!!"
"yes!!!, but let's go back and see how the workshop goes!"
"Good!"
So, Roy and Ainabel rested for a while, and when the sequelae of smoking were gone, they asked Jeremy to send someone to send them out.
They wanted to get out on their own, but the slum was so big that the houses were next to each other, like a maze, and they couldn't get out if they weren't locals.
Jeremy didn't stop them, and sent them out of the slum very happily.
Although both Jeremy and Roy felt that even if he and Ainabel revealed their whereabouts, their lives would not be in danger, Roy and Ainabel were careful along the way and did not return with much fanfare.
The place where the Demon Pattern Workshop was located before has now become a ruin, and the place where it collapsed is the second floor, of course, the degree of damage on the first floor is not small, and from such a cursory look from the outside, you can probably know the damage inside.
At this moment, there are a lot of passers-by gathered around, usually they don't pay any attention to the Demon Pattern Workshop at all, even if they pass by, they won't take a second look, but at this moment, they are very interested in pointing and pointing and talking to each other, which is really ironic.
Roy and Ainabelle, who were hiding in the shadows, were shocked to see the workshop destroyed like this.
"It's really ruined. ”
Ainabel said in surprise.
"And, judging by the extent of the damage, if it weren't for Jeremy's little imp who took us out of the smoke, I'm afraid we'd really die inside. ”
Roy's face also became a little serious, and at this point, he believed Jeremy's words a little more, but not to the extent of fully believing it.
Because it's entirely possible that this is a play directed and acted by Jeremy, the purpose of which is to get Roy to trust him, and then trick Roy into getting them on his thief ship.
Although Jeremy seems small and sincere, he is very different, and Roy is not familiar with him, who knows what kind of person he is?
The imperial capital is so big, dragons and snakes are mixed, and everyone has it, so it's always right to be careful.
"But, Roy, now that the workshop has been destroyed, where are we going to stay?
At this time, Ainabel asked more realistic questions, the question of where they would live after that.
However, Roy rejected Ainabel's proposal.
"If what Jeremy said is true, then Duke Grant's estate is not as safe as we thought, and, have you forgotten? ”
Roy firmly believed that the inside of the manor would be more dangerous than the others, so he was determined not to go to the manor.
Ainabel was persuaded by Roy, and then she asked, "So, go back to Jeremy's side, although the conditions are a little worse, but at least they can live with people, and I haven't had a hard time." ”
This proposal was again rejected by Roy.
"No, I haven't fully believed that little ghost until now, the water in the imperial capital is too deep, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into it and never climb out again. This time, just the game between the two sides involved us, and we almost lost our lives, rashly believing that Jeremy's little ghost, in case he is also playing a trick on us, then we don't know how we will die at that time!"
Roy is very serious and very reasonable.
It's just that in this way, Ainabel has no idea where they can live, let alone live, or even a place to stay.
"And where are we going to stay next?"
Faced with Ainabel's question, Roy suddenly smiled at this time: "I really thought of a place, let's go." ”
Aynabel didn't know where Roy was thinking, but she had no direction at the moment, so she could only follow Roy away.
Ten minutes later, Roy and Ainabel appeared in front of the Eastside Marketplace, Hicks' store, to be exact.
"What?!To live with this profiteer?!Roy, do you have a fever and burn out your brain?!"
When Ainabel learned that the place Roy wanted was Hicks, her face suddenly changed, in her opinion, Hicks was no different from the Monster Cave, Hicks was the monster who could eat people, if they lived here, they would be swallowed by Hicks, a profiteer, with a belt bone.
Roy sighed a little helplessly and said, "I know, I know, Ainabel, if it weren't for the desperation, I wouldn't want to come here and see him like that again." But now we can't help it? We didn't know the land in the imperial capital, we couldn't go to the manors, we couldn't go to the slums, and here we only knew Hicks as a local. ”
“......”
Although she said this, Aynabel was still quite reluctant, and Roy couldn't help but persuade when she saw that she had a childish temper: "Ainabel, listen to me, Hicks is not useless, at least, he is a person who likes to take advantage." ”
"What a good thing is that!"
Ainabel couldn't help but complain, is taking advantage of it an advantage?!
"Of course!!"
Roy said confidently.
A few minutes later, Roy and Ainabel appeared in front of Hicks, and when Hicks looked up and saw them coming, he was slightly startled, and then lowered his head and said while settling the score: "You two are not dead, God really doesn't open your eyes." ”
"Hey!"
Ainabel was very angry and was about to reason with Hicks, but Roy stopped her and asked very seriously, "Mr. Hicks, you know everything?"
"Ah, I know, I heard early in the morning that there was a magic pattern workshop in Nancheng that suddenly collapsed, and it seems that you are the only one over there, so as soon as I heard the news, I knew it was you. ”
Hicks said as a matter of course, then he looked up at Roy and Ainabel and smiled, "What? Want to borrow money from me to build a new workshop? ”
With that, Hicks was really going to find an IOU for Roy and them.
Roy hurriedly stopped him.
God knows if the interest on the loan given by this guy will be sky-high, and with the nature of this profiteer, Roy suspects that he is even more ruthless than the interest charged by loan sharks.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Hicks, we're not here to borrow money from you. ”
"Why are you looking for me?"
"We're going to borrow to stay with you for a while, so ......"
"Oh, borrow!"
Hicks' eyes lit up, and his eyes glowed green when he looked at Roy and Ainabelle, and at this moment, Roy and Ainabel seemed to have become walking Nagin in his eyes.
"Hehe, no problem. ”
Hicks smiled treacherously, while Roy and Ainabel were covered in hair.
