068 Mission Follow-up
Not far from Frevans, in a tavern in a neighboring island kingdom.
By noon, the atmosphere here was noticeably deserted, with only people drinking and resting.
Despite this, Zoren and Amen still chose to sit in a dark corner and quietly replenish their meals.
The two changed into black uniforms and hats, so that the outlander's clothing was the most ordinary and unobtrusive.
Amen said with a smile while biting the big meat leg with his mouth, "I didn't expect this mission to go quite smoothly, I thought that the trouble on the ship would delay a lot of time." β
"It's okay, but the opponent is still a little boring." Zoren shrugged.
For him, the mission itself is just a way, and it is enough to be happy to meet a strong man worth fighting.
Amen sighed, "This mission was basically completed by you alone, and it's no wonder that Chief Russ is so relieved of you." β
At this moment, Zoren suddenly glanced at him, squinted his eyes and said, "It's true, just said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived." β
"What's coming? Cao Cao?" Amen was stunned, his expression full of confusion.
"That's the chief's code name." Zoren explained coldly, and walked out of the tavern door.
Outside, he walked briskly through the woods, jumped up an isolated hillside, and saw that there was no one around, before he pulled out a telephone bug from his pocket that was making an incoming call.
After connecting, the phone bug in the palm of his hand made a loud voice: "Hey, is it Zoren the kid?" β
Zoren responded coldly: "The mission is done. β
"The speed is pretty fast, but this mission isn't over yet, and there's a follow-up." β
"Follow-up?" Zorren wondered.
Russ asked rhetorically, "Zorren, you don't think this task is as simple as it seems, do you?" β
"Indeed." Zorren pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering slightly, and he pondered, "When you first submitted it to me, I thought this task was a bit strange - according to the usual procedure, shouldn't an incident like this that a pirate gang might endanger the kingdom be prevented and encircled by the navy?" β
"It's not that the navy doesn't want to move, it's that they can't move." β
"Can't move?"
"Yes, since a week ago, all the navies of FrΓ©vans, including the nearby neighboring countries, have been temporarily withdrawn under the instructions of the above."
Zoren said thoughtfully, "This should have something to do with the recent outbreak of the national infectious disease in the Kingdom of Frevans, right?"
"It's true, but it's just one of the triggers. The main thing is perpenite. β
"Perplead?"
Zoren muttered, he still knows a lot about this thing, and it can be used not only to make tableware, paints, sweet spices, cosmetics, and even to make crafts and weapons.
High-quality Perpe-lead products have many buyers all over the world and are the largest industry in the Kingdom of Frevans.
The world government has also been a strong supporter of the development of Perpester for decades, and has been involved in the transportation of reversible goods, which is like a cycle of incentives, and the people of Frevans have become more and more enthusiastic about the mining of Pershare and lead in order to increase their wealth.
"The reason why Frevans is famous as the 'White Town' is mainly because of the large amount of lead ore in the ground, which has brought the conditions of prosperity and rapid development to the country, and has always put it on the head of the kingdom of the neighboring islands. β
Knowing a little bit about what was going on, Zollen guessed, "The neighboring countries have accumulated decades of jealousy, so they want to take revenge or plunder the kingdom of Frevans?" This follow-up mission is to get us to stop the war? β
"No, quite the opposite. This time, the follow-up mission is to help the other neighboring countries destroy Frevans. β
"What did you say?!"
Hearing the unexpected words, Zorren's eyes widened in surprise.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon of the same day.
In the town of Frevans, the ground and trees are as white as the land of ice and snow in the fairy tale world, and the bright golden sunlight shines brightly, and the beauty is like a fairyland on earth.
Originally, it was a lively scene for tourists for many years, but now it is extremely deserted, and the once bustling streets are hardly seen by tourists or locals.
The main culprit for this is the Perp Disease, which is said to be a terminal disease that cannot be treated even if it is untreatable and unavoidable for future generations as if it were infected with white patches on the skin of the whole body.
In addition, it is rumored that the reason why the lead has the characteristics of "infectious disease" makes tourists and businessmen change color when talking about it.
The recent layers of terror among the people have caused Frevance to quickly transform from an angry young man to an old and sick old man.
Zoren and Amen walked down the deserted bustling streets, dressed in black and out of place with the white surroundings.
"Sir! Two gentlemen! β
A childish voice came from behind the two of them.
When Zoren looked back, she was a young round-faced girl about seven or eight years old, but in a hot climate, she was wearing a long skirt with long sleeves and a thick scarf wrapped around her face.
The round-faced girl panted and ran to the two, looked at them with a raised little face full of anticipation, and said immaturely and clearly, "Sir, do you need a tour guide?" My name is Lucy, and I'm very familiar with the environment and streets, so I can pick and choose what I want to buy, and-"
"Sorry, we ......"
Amen just wanted to refuse, but Zoren next to him said indifferently, "Let's ask you to be a tour guide." β
As he spoke, he took out a hundred thousand Bailey bills from his pocket and handed it over: "That's enough." β
"That's too much, sir." Taking the bill, Luna opened her cute eyes and looked embarrassed when she didn't have change.
"Take it, there's no money to find it."
After Zoren finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the street in front of him, and Amen grinned helplessly and followed.
Tapping on her boots, Lucy followed the two of them excitedly, squeaking and constantly introducing the characteristics of the surrounding scenery.
"It's the work of the master carver Tours, the flying elephant, but it still looks like a rabbit."
"Oh oh oh, this is the world-famous snow fountain, and the water is like snow in winter in the pool made of perpenite."
"And hereβ"
Lucy stopped at the door of a closed shop, full of gloomy looks: "This is the best shop that sells Perax lead products, and tourists from all over the world will come here to take a look, but it's a pity that ......"
"Where does the king live?" Amen said with a curious look.
"O king." Lucy pointed to a towering palace of luxury at the end of the street, "The king lives on the top floor of the palace. β
"Thank you." Amen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zollen.
Zoren nodded and said coldly to Lucy, "Let's stop at it." β
"Ahh Is it over so soon? There are still a lot of attractions that I haven't seen for you. Lucy's eyes widened in surprise.
"This kind of thing, don't look at it. Amen, let's go. β
With a call to Amen, Zorren continued to walk in the direction of the palace.
His steps were slow and powerful, and his cold heart was filled with irrepressible anger.
Tonight, Killing Night.
