Chapter 52 All Night

Accompanied by the hearty and bright laughter, it seemed that the indissoluble water vapor and smoke in the [Steam City] had faded a lot, and the hazy blue showed its color to the boundless earth in the company of the morning light.

Through the clouds and mist, you can see that the huge city, like a crawling beast, is trying to spew out steam that symbolizes power and wealth.

Gathering sand makes a tower, and accumulating water makes a river.

The accumulation of human beings in the details and the pursuit of skills have finally created achievements that even gods would look at with civilization as a unit.

Under this brilliant achievement, there are all the people who are as diligent as ants.

"I'm going to work."

With laughter as a side dish, Lin En ate this breakfast particularly deliciously. He was at the age of growing taller, so he naturally ate faster than Sophia. Two pieces of bread and a fried egg went down his stomach in two or three bites. Lin En glanced at his pocket watch. There was still time left, so he was not in a hurry.

Lin En put down his knife and fork, pushed away the chair and prepared to change his clothes for today.

He was still wearing pajamas.

"I'll help you." Seeing him stand up, Sophia put down her knife and fork and followed him.

"Yeah."

Lin En nodded subconsciously. There was nothing wrong with that. When they were playmates, Sophia helped Lin En get up and take care of things, except for the head maid. Recalling that Lin En's father had asked Sophia if she wanted to be Lin En's personal maid, she was very happy at the time, but unfortunately, with her personality, she was destined to make a living on the street.

Clothes, shoes and socks, wrinkles smoothed, hair fiddled, and rubbed her head, Sophia hummed a little tune.

Lin En turned left and right in front of the mirror.

A handsome British boy with a gentle temperament jumped on the mirror. That natural smile with goodwill was a killer weapon that was always successful in social occasions. Even Sophia, who was particularly familiar with Lin En, couldn't help but be absent-minded when she saw his smile.

"It's a pity that the coat and hat are not ready yet." After helping Lin En to tidy up, Sophia looked at him with her hands on her hips and nodded with satisfaction.

If the coat and hat were also ready, Lin En's maturity and stability would be more prominent. Now there is still a touch of immaturity that is closely related to age. Of course, if Lin En is really treated as an ignorant child because of this, it would be interesting.

"It's about two days... Okay, Sophia, remember to lock the door later." Lin En also reached out to help Sophia tie up the loose work clothes and reminded the big sister. "Also, next time you enter my room, at least let me know. Do you know that my heart almost stopped when I woke up?"

"Okay, okay, next time I will definitely knock on the door, and by the way, add a sentence, 'Dear Master Lin En, are you there?'" Sophia pouted. She herself doesn't like those constraints and rules, but since Lin En mentioned it, she will pay attention.

"Also, I suggest you sleep here before leaving..." Lin En did not forget her dark circles.

"Wait, don't move."

Sophia moved closer, helped Lin En fix the mismatch of his tie, and then clapped her hands in satisfaction and stepped back.

"Go, work hard, I'm still waiting for your salary... Yawn~~" She yawned loudly, and then she pushed Lin En out of the bedroom like the owner of this place.

Before the door was sewed shut, Lin En did not forget to remind her to rest early.

"Go to bed!"

She was too lazy to eat the remaining breakfast. After Lin En left, Sophia jumped onto Lin En's soft bed, rubbed it comfortably, and closed her eyes with a hum. She hadn't been able to close her eyes all night, but now she lay down surprisingly smoothly, and soon fell asleep in the warm breath.

Office Building No. 404, Blue Street, [Lightman] Branch.

"Good morning, Mr. Bishop."

"Good morning, Lynn."

"I saw people marching on the road, and there were even some businessmen inside. It seems that their lives can no longer hold on." Lynn talked about what he saw on the road.

"That's terrible. We should send the military police to arrest all those who disturb public order." Bishop frowned. In the eyes of this old gentleman, the army of the Kingdom on the front line was fighting bloody battles, and those who made trouble in the rear had to be put on the execution ground as traitors.

Lynn followed suit, but thought in his heart that this might be a signal.

People in the central city could not stand the trend of continued economic deterioration, and the situation of the mud-legged people in the lower city might be even worse. War is the continuation of politics. To be honest, Lynn felt that Albion's politics was now a typical case of riding a tiger and being unable to get off. Ending the war is not as simple as withdrawing troops.

"By the way, your captain and his team have returned. She asked me to wait for you to come and tell you not to go to the clerk's office to work, and go directly to the reception room to find them later."

After complaining, Bishop lowered his head to read his newspaper. He felt that it was too funny to express his views to Lynn. This young gentleman probably didn't understand what politics was.

"Okay."

Hearing that the deputy captain and his team had returned, Lynn nodded happily. He had a good impression of Yevni and Bill, and they were very optimistic about him. If something happened to these two people, it would undoubtedly have a great impact on Lin En's future.

"I still have to tell Mr. Clark..."

Mr. Clark is very gentle and easy-going. He didn't mind when he heard that Lin might be called away again today. He politely cared about him and gave him a few words. He told him that although Yevni seemed difficult to talk to, she was still very protective. Bill liked to laugh all the time, but this did not prevent him from getting angry.

The clerical work was not actually strictly divided into teams. Everyone in the clerical department shared the work equally. Lin would owe it for now.

Lin was very pleased with Clark's advice.

Knowing the personality of colleagues can reduce friction and better cooperate. After Lin had gone through the trough of his life, the people he met were not too bad. Even Detective Anthony was kicked out. I guess Detective Douglas would not let him go so easily.

Knock knock knock.

"Come in."

Yevni's voice was sharp and powerful. Lin pushed the door open and was about to speak when he unexpectedly saw another visitor in the reception room.

Etalie.

The girl in the wheelchair with heterochromatic eyes was sitting on the side holding a book. Her slightly raised head showed her strong character. When Lin En came in, she turned her head and nodded to Lin En as a greeting.

The reception room smelled of strong coffee. In addition to the spread-out map and some books on the table, there were three cups of coffee that were no longer steaming. From all the signs, Lin En smelled the smell of staying up all night. These three people seemed to have been busy since they came back last night. This desperate energy made Lin En a little hesitant.

A weekly salary of 10 gold pounds is indeed not something that ordinary people can get.

"Come, come here, take a look here." Ye Funi bowed her head and greeted Lin En, with a hint of anxiety hidden in her tone. She pointed to the large map and asked Lin En to take a look.

Lin En walked over and blinked.

'Isn't this a map of the middle and lower city? '
