Walking out of the woods, Xu Jun had to admit that he was holding an extremely strong little girl, and he could still discern the direction in which he came when he was alone at such a distance into the jungle, which alone was stronger than the four of them.

Outside the woods is a small farmstead surrounded by a low fence and a chic two-story building with a longbrick house with a red tiled roof on one side. The standard German country house architecture has a history in terms of architectural style, and the exterior walls of the houses are covered with climbing plants, as if covered with a layer of natural camouflage.

Looking over from the edge of the woods, there were many people gathered in the courtyard at this time, and the sound of the crowd of people arguing could be heard from afar.

"Looks like our little Illya is in trouble." Xu Jun rubbed Lori's face with his index knuckle.

"Apparently, her family has found the child missing and is preparing to organize nearby villagers to search for her in the forest." After speaking, Dougan lifted the strap of the machine gun upward.

"Then let's hurry over, my Führer, and everyone looks anxious." Tysenhoven suggested.

"This child should have been lost for almost an hour, and they are really two careless parents." Randolph said, hugging Hercules.

"Wow!" The puppy seemed to understand the lieutenant colonel's words, and he raised his head in dissatisfaction and barked twice at Randolph's milky voice.

"Am I wrong? You grumpy little one. Randolph reached out and scratched the puppy's scalp.

Hercules froze for a moment, then lowered his head and pulled out Randolph's cuff again.

"Alas, alas? Didn't you just let go? The SS lieutenant colonel wailed again.

The four of them walked to the farm with their children, and the people in the courtyard soon discovered Xu Jun's group, so the people rushed to the door of the courtyard, perhaps afraid of the straight uniforms on the comers, and no one rushed forward to greet them.

Two Army officers and two SS officers, a rare combination, especially one of them wearing a red collar with a gold filigree and conspicuous red welt sewn into his breeches.

"Look, that's a general."

"I can't see the face clearly, but the uniform should look right."

"The two on the side are senior SS officers."

"Looks like it's higher than Chief Rudolph's rank."

"Rudolph? He's just a second-class commando squadron leader. ”

"The general is holding Illya."

"Well, go and call Daddy Fred and tell him the child has been found."

The villagers talked to each other, and several young people spread their legs and turned around and ran in the direction of Xiaolou, looking like they should have rushed to report the news.

Xu Jun had a gentle smile on his face, while teasing the little Lori in his arms, while striding towards the farm, he was not worried that he would be recognized by the villagers, after spending some time in Berlin, the Reich Führer was still very confident in his prestige in the hearts of ordinary German people.

At this time, two old men ran out of the small building, and they ran towards the door with excitement, and the villagers separated a passage on both sides, and let the two elderly masters to the front of the line.

"Illya, my little Illya." The gray-haired old lady called out loudly, and stumbled towards Xu Jun, who ignored the military uniforms of several officers, took the child from Xu Jun's hands, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

"The child was not harmed in any way, and Illya is a wonderful little lady." Xu Jun comforted the old man.

The old lady was nervously examining her mischievous granddaughter to see if there was any damage on her body.

"Thank you very much, General .... Oh God...", the silver-haired man followed his wife, and although he was old, his body still looked strong, and his eyes were sharp enough, so that at a glance he saw that the "general's" gold and silver skein epaulettes were inlaid with two silver scepters crossed with each other.

"Field Marshal! It's meta.... Your Excellency, the Führer! The old man's eyes widened in surprise, and the young and handsome face in front of him looked exactly like the head of the empire published in the newspapers.

"Yes, I'm Reinhardt. Feng. Stadler. Xu Jun said with a smile.

"Oh God.... My God... How do you... I mean, it's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency the Führer. The old man was completely out of shape at the moment, and it looked as if he didn't even know where to put his hand.

"Can I know your name?" Xu Jun generously stretched out his hand to the old man.

"Oh, I'm rude. Fred Gem. The old man shook Xu Jun's hand.

"Fred Helm. Feng. Heinzberg, at your service, Your Excellency. Letting go of Xu Jun's hand, old Fredgem took a step back and bowed to his chest to greet Xu Jun.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, von. Mr. Heinzberg. Xu Jun nodded slightly in an elegant manner.

"Allow me to invite you and a few of your subordinates to my home to rest." Fredgem respectfully invited.

"Thank you very much, and we're looking for a place to have a hot cup of tea." Xu Jun nodded in agreement.

The visit of the Reich Führer to this farm was a great event that caused a stir in the countryside, and although it was not far from Berlin, because of its remote location, the largest government official who had ever visited it was only the county leader of the agricultural autonomous group.

"Hey! Reinhart! "The young people present were all members of the Nazi Youth League, and the eighteen- and nineteen-year-old boys could hardly believe that this was the reality of being able to see their leaders and idols so closely.

Led by a youth group leader, they raised their right arms to salute the head of the empire, although they tried to put on a resolute and serious expression, they could not hide their emotional excitement, and their clear eyes were full of reverence for this head at the moment.

Compared with Hitler, who was much older, the great leader, who was said to be only twenty-eight years old, was more likely to resonate with young Germans. What boy had not dreamed of following the Führer in those years, and the adjutants who accompanied him were met with a bunch of envious, jealous and hateful looks.

Saluting, shaking hands, hugging, and kissing the cheek, Xu Jun skillfully engaged in a series of interactions with the villagers, and the head of the empire was as approachable as advertised in the newspapers, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, and Xu Jun easily gained a group of die-hard fans.

The villagers were told that this time the Führer was traveling at will, and for the sake of the Führer's safety, they were expected to keep the matter secret for the time being, and that the Führer's whereabouts would not be revealed to the outside world until the Führer returned.

Of course, the villagers had no problem with this, and being able to get close to the leader of the empire was already a glorious deed that they could boast about for a lifetime, and they certainly would not allow any stain on this beautiful talk for their own sake.

Not only did they swear on the spot, but they also pledged to keep each other under watch, never revealing his whereabouts to outsiders until the Führer had left the farm.

In the end, under the persuasion of Xu Jun and the adjutant's team, the villagers left the farm one after another, and everyone was satisfied and got a copy of Xu Jun's autograph. At last, the Führer and his party could sit quietly in the drawing-room of old Fredherm, and taste the black tea carefully brewed by Madame Doridette.

"I haven't officially thanked you yet, thank you for bringing back my beloved granddaughter Illya." The old lady held the teapot and refilled the tea for Xu Jun.

"Illya is a very good child, and she knows exactly what it takes to get home." Xu Jun touched the little Lori sitting next to him, and the other party narrowed his eyes like a kitten.

"After all, the child was only five years old, and although there were no vicious beasts in the woods, there were still some wild dogs nearby. God knows what terrible things would have happened if I hadn't met you, so I have to thank you for your help. Mrs. Doridette said elegantly to Xu Jun.

"Illya is not afraid of wild dogs, Illya has Hercules." Little Lori was still a little unconvinced.

"What an uneasy child, look at your dirty, come with me to wash it first and change into clean clothes. I'm sorry to let me miss you, honorable Führer. The old lady said with a straight face, and then the little one slipped out of the living room with an unhappy face and was picked up by the grandmother.

"Just like her father when he was a kid, he was a complete mischievous." Old Fredgem said, shaking his head.

"No, I think she's cute, it's okay for girls to be lively." Xu Jun picked up the black teacup and took a sip slightly.

"I heard from the child that her father was not around all the time." Dougan interjected.

"Yes, my son served in the Air Force and was a fighter pilot." Fredgem replied proudly.

"Oh? Which team, maybe I've seen him. Dogen raised his eyebrows.

As the Führer's liaison officer on the French battlefield, Dougan once took a special plane to shuttle through major air bases, during which he got to know many fighter pilots of the Air Force.

"Erhard. Feng. Lieutenant Heinzberg, captain of the 3rd Brigade of the Richthofen Wing as a flight squadron leader. Fredgem replied.

"JG2's third brigade? Remember that the captain was Alto. Captain Brent, I'm sorry I don't remember seeing a man with the surname von. Heinzberg's squadron leader, perhaps he was on a flight mission elsewhere at the time. Dougan thought about it for a moment and shook his head in regret.

"It doesn't matter, he's a good pilot, he's already an ace. He hadn't been home since the war, and Illya hadn't seen her father for a long time. But every week he sends a letter to let us know that he is safe, which is enough for us, after all, he is a soldier, and it is his mission to fight for his country, and we are honored to have such a son. Fredgem Sr. said proudly, and Dougan nodded in agreement.

"Illya's mother, when did she die?" Xu Jun put down the black teacup.

"Huh? Pass away? Alice Phil is still alive and well, who told you that she was dead. Fredgem asked, looking surprised.

"But... I heard Illya say that her mother went to a far, far away place. Xu Jun realized that he might have a problem with his understanding.

"I see, Illya is telling the truth, her mother has been working in Africa for two months, and we can't explain to Illya where Africa is, we can only tell her that it is far, far away from us." Fredgem suddenly realized, and he explained with a smile.

"Africa is really far away for a little girl." Xu Jun also laughed.

"What does she do, I mean Illya's mother." Dougan asked.

"She used to be my best student and is now an archaeologist just like me. She is now leading her archaeological team in Cairo for further excavations of the fabled lost city of Tanis, and it must be noted that the excavation was funded by the Reich government and is said to have been signed by Himmler, the national leader of the SS. Fredgem replied.

"Himmler? You said earlier what that place was called, that lost city. Xu Jun asked, pressing his temples.

"Tanis, my Führer." Fredgem replied quickly.

"What are you looking for there?" Xu Jun found that this name was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

"This.... I didn't know you didn't even know about it. Fredgem looked puzzled.

But then the elderly archaeologist approached the head of the empire and whispered with a mysterious expression.

"My Führer, you must have heard the legend of the Ark of the Covenant......"
