Chapter Thirty-Six: Want to Pull Me on the Boat?
Seeing that Roy was eager to know what was going on, Jeremy still complained in his heart that this guy had planted a lot of traps in the workshop, especially that his chrysanthemum was hit by an arrow, so he deliberately said slowly: "That's a long story." ”
"That's a long story short!"
"Hey, don't play cards at all!"
Jeremy was interrupted by Roy instantly, and he was very dissatisfied.
Seeing that Jeremy seemed to have the intention of dragging it, Roy immediately said: "You are suspected of kidnapping now, little ghost, I slept well in the workshop with Ainabelle, but when I woke up, I was in a strange place, and I was still dizzy when I got out of bed, don't you sneak into my workshop last night, and then give us some medicine!!"
"It's not the kind of white thing, it's still a little good after smelling it, and it's a little hi after it's finished, it's a powdery thing!"
Seeing Roy look like a wicked person suing first and trying to threaten him, Jeremy was angry.
Just as he was about to condemn him, at this time, Moore didn't know when he appeared outside the door, he happened to hear Roy's unkind accusation to Jeremy, and immediately said angrily: "Hey! You are polite! My boss saved the lives of both of you!! If it weren't for my boss's insistence on saving you, you two would have died with your workshop by now!"
Hearing these words, Roy was shocked, and he immediately turned his head to look at Jeremy and said, "Little ghost, what do you mean by that? What did you mean by dying with our workshop? What happened last night?!"
Jeremy glanced at Moore with some dissatisfaction when he heard this, and said to him angrily, "Go out." ”
"But boss, they don't appreciate it!"
"Get out first!!"
Jeremy shouted loudly, and Moore's whole body trembled, and he turned around and left the door with some grievances.
"Tell me, what happened last night?"
Roy realized at this time that things might not be as simple as he thought, so his attitude also eased, and he looked at Jeremy very seriously and asked.
Jeremy frowned and said, "Last night, someone sneaked outside your magic pattern workshop, and used the gap between the protective magic patterns in the workshop to invade with demonic energy, so that it had a destructive effect. ”
"I got the news ahead of time, so I arrived with Moll in time to rescue you and Ainabel from the workshop before it collapsed. ”
Roy's eyes widened when he heard this, he only remembered that he had slept so deeply last night that he didn't even have a dream, but he didn't expect such a thrilling thing to happen at all.
"Who are those guys?!"
Roy came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.
"It's a member of the Imperial Capital Demon Pattern Master Guild. ”
Hearing Jeremy's answer, Roy suddenly said in disbelief, "What? The people of the Demon Pattern Master Guild? Why did they come to harm us? We didn't provoke them at all!"
Jeremy explained helplessly: "You didn't provoke them, but Duke Grant provoked them." ”
Immediately afterward, Jeremy elaborated: "In recent years, Duke Grant has established the Demon Pattern Master Competition every year, and every year he will invite the champion of the Demon Master Competition to come to the Imperial Capital, and then fund it to help them develop. ”
"This kind of behavior looks like a robbery with the Demon Pattern Master Guild, the union president Cotton Clive is a very ambitious person, and Duke Grant did not inform Cotton when he founded the first Demon Master Competition, so he had a big fight with Duke Grant at that time. ”
But because of Duke Grant's high position, he didn't let Duke Grant completely give up this plan, and the Demon Tattoo Artist competition went on like this. Because of the increasing impact of this competition, the magicians who later entered the imperial capital only knew about Duke Grant, and gradually forgot about the Magician Guild, so Cotton was dissatisfied and always wanted to take revenge on Duke Grant. ”
"Until this year, a mysterious man who came out of nowhere found Cotton and told him that he had a way to help Cotton get revenge on Duke Grant, so they transferred Viscount Hofkins and Duke Grant's head maid one after another. But it just so happened that Duke Grant entered the palace again during this time, and he was not out for a long time. The palace is heavily guarded, and it is almost impossible to do anything in it. ”
"So, the mysterious man mentioned that because Duke Grant seems to value you a lot, he wants to use you to lure Duke Grant out of the palace, so that they can make it easier for them to do it......"
Jeremy told Roy all the ins and outs of the whole thing in one go, and looked at Roy who seemed to be in a dream, Jeremy said with some complaints: "When I first came to you, I wanted to tell you about this and let you take precautions, but who knew that you kicked me out......"
Roy listened to Jeremy's explanation to him as if he were listening to a book from heaven, he had no idea that he and Ainabel were just two very ordinary magicians, and they were unintentionally involved in such a dangerous matter, and they almost lost their lives.
"You say, it's Cotton Clive, the president of the Magician Guild, who wants to use the news of my injury or death with Ainabel to lure Duke Grant out of the palace?"
Roy asked Jeremy word by word with a serious expression.
Jeremy nodded, and at the same time, he himself was quite angry and said: "That's right! It's him! This old guy is now doing whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and he used to at least care about other people's lives and have a bottom line that doesn't hurt people's lives, but now he even abandons this bottom line!"
"Before, little ghost, you had a grudge against that Cotton?"
Roy looked at Jeremy with some surprise, such a small boy, only about twelve years old, has something to do with the president of the Demon Pattern Master Guild?
Why does this sound so unbelievable?
When Jeremy heard this, he snorted coldly, "Of course there is a grudge! Otherwise, how can we get the news in advance? We've been fighting with those old guys for a year." ”
"Moreover, the reason why I took the trouble to contact you this time is also to use your strength to fight against those old guys together. ”
"I suppose you don't have any reason to refuse my invitation to an old fellow who wants your life, right?"
Jeremy looked at Roy with burning eyes and said with a look of sincerity.
However, Roy is not the one who will be tied to the boat so easily, he hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, don't be so sure, now everything is you saying, I don't know what the real situation is at all!"
"You suspect I'm lying to you?!"
Jeremy's eyes widened and he said with some excitement.
"If you want to pull me into your chariot, then at least tell me about your grievances with Cotton, right?
Roy said as a matter of course, Jeremy looked at Roy fixedly, and after a while, he sat down again, compromised, "Okay!
