"Whew!

After Roy and Ainabel changed into their overalls, they were ready to work energetically.

The work clothes of the two are very similar, both are brown main tones, plus the design is easy to move, it is the most suitable clothing for work.

And Ainabel also has a small satchel that can hold a lot of tools, which is very convenient.

Roy and Ainabel were not only tidying up and cleaning the warehouse this day, but also arranged by Hicks to unload the goods, remove slag and other such hard work, in short, they had a very fulfilling day.

Although they were a little tired, they were generally fine, at least much better than Roy had imagined, even if they didn't master the technique of demonic energy amplification, they could successfully complete it, not to mention them now, Roy and Ainabel even wondered if Hicks had been dropped......

When it was time to eat in the evening, Hicks did what he said he would, and prepared their share for Roy and Ainabelle, who sat at the table and ate as if they were a family, rather than employers and hire-workers. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Speaking of which, what are you two going to do in the future? Do you really want to work with me for the rest of your life? Of course, I don't mind. ”

Hicks shrugged and smiled easily.

Of course he doesn't care, he only needs to pay for food and housing, and he can hire two people to do chores for him, and he definitely earns it.

As another profiteer, Ainabel naturally understands the truth here, so she immediately said: "Don't even think about it, we are just staying temporarily, and when the matter is resolved, we will leave immediately." ”

Ainabel pouted slightly, angry with Hicks, like a little girl who hadn't grown up.

Hicks chuckled, not taking Ainabel's unkindness to himself to heart.

At this moment, Roy suddenly raised his head and asked, "Mr. Hicks, how long have you been in the imperial capital?"

Hicks was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then carefully calculated in his heart, and responded: "It's been almost seventeen years, I lived here when I was sixteen, what's wrong?"

"So, you can be regarded as an old man in the imperial capital, do you know that Cotton, the president of the Demon Pattern Master Guild?"

Hearing Roy say this, Ainabel couldn't help but slow down the pace of eating and concentrate.

She hadn't forgotten that Roy had told her that the person who had harmed them so much was most likely the president of the Demon Pattern Master Guild.

"Cotton Clive?"

"That's right!

"I know, what's wrong?" Hicks asked curiously, "There are very few people in the imperial capital who don't know his name, right?"

"In that case, can you tell us what kind of person President Cotton is? As a Demon Pattern Master, Ainabel and I don't know anything about the President of the Demon Pattern Master Guild, and now that I think about it, it's really a failure. ”

Roy asked Hicks with a smile like a fledgling silly boy.

"Ha, you two Demon Pattern Masters are really confused, they have both come to the imperial capital, and they don't even know about the president of your union. ”

Hicks couldn't help but laugh at the two of them after hearing this, and then nodded very dryly: "Okay, it's okay anyway, then I'll tell you about it." ”

Roy and Ainabel immediately straightened their attitudes and raised their ears high, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Cotton, more than ten years older than me, is not a native of the imperial capital, he is like you, he also came out of a small mountain village, relying on his own hard work and hard work, in the profession of the demon pattern master, to achieve the ultimate, and finally entered the magic pattern master union, and then after a few years of hard work, he finally won the position of president. ”

Hicks gave Cotton a brief introduction, but Roy and Ainabel were not satisfied.

"Is that all?"

Ainabel looked at Hicks in surprise, I'm ready to listen to a tirade, and you just said that?

"That's it. ”

Hicks smiled as a matter of course,

"Nothing else?"

Roy asked tentatively, obviously unwilling to accept the information Hicks had provided.

"What else would you like to hear?"

Hicks looked at them both amusedly.

Roy and Ainabel looked at each other, and Ainabel said, "For example, how is President Cotton a person?"

"You say this, well, I remember the moment when he was young, he was a man full of vitality and worked hard for his dreams all day long, and then he didn't know what happened, he seemed to have changed as a person, and became a little eager for quick success, and did not compromise the means to achieve the goal. ”

Speaking of this, Hicks shrugged his shoulders and said very easily: "However, it's actually quite normal to think about it, if he doesn't make these changes, how can a naïve teenager who only knows how to pursue his dreams achieve the position of union president?"

Hearing this, Roy said with some discomfort in his heart: "If you want to climb higher, do you have to become like that?"

Hicks looked up at him and responded, "Isn't that a matter of course? He alone has limited strength, and he can't change the status quo at all, thinking that by shouting dreams and working hard, he can defeat reality and crush those stubborn and rotten unspoken rules?

"I can't change it, so I'm happy to join?"

"Ha, that's a good point, it's a pretty incisive summary. ”

Hicks praised Roy's ability to summarize, and Roy couldn't help but chuckle, with a hint of mockery in his smile, and he couldn't tell who he was against.

After dinner, Hicks sent them to wash the dishes, and Roy did not refuse, and after washing the dishes honestly, they went back to the room Hicks had arranged for them to rest.

Hicks is not a hotel, and there is only one extra room, so Roy and Ainabel can only live together, but it is still the old rule, Ainabel sleeps in the bed, and Roy makes the bunk.

It's just that neither of them can sleep tonight.

"Roy, it looks like Jeremy didn't lie to us. ”

Ainabel lay on the bed, looked at Roy's back under the bed, and said seriously.

Roy turned his back to Ainabel, but he didn't fall asleep, and after listening to his words, Roy nodded lightly and said, "Mr. Hicks can't have anything to do with Jeremy's little ghost, so since even he said so, it proves that Cotton, the president of the union, is that kind of person." ”

"I almost believe Jeremy, this time, we are indeed involved in the feud between Cotton and Duke Grant, and we have become sacrificed pawns. ”

Listening to Roy's words, Ainabel frowned and said, "Then, what should we do? The Demon Pattern Master Guild must be a behemoth after so many years of establishment, right? Do we really want to fight against such an existence? Or are we just honest spectators, don't care about anything, and wait for this war to end?"

"Hey, didn't you say you couldn't let Duke Grant have an accident, or our new workshop would be gone. ”

"That being said, but if the enemy is too strong, if we get involved, won't we even be able to turn over?"

Ainabel couldn't be more worried.

Roy took a deep breath and said slowly, "It depends on the extent of Jeremy's imp's organization!"
