Ever since Andronie announced that she would use the power of Mr. Marquis to build a safe passage to the Federation for Dussand, Dussand, under the leadership of Morse, began to familiarize himself with various "unknown" passages and routes throughout the Upper Albin.

"Is this really necessary, Mr. Morse?" It's nice to go shopping with Morse, especially to be able to get away from a lot of transactional work and meetings, which makes Dussander even happier. But sadly, Morse took Dusand everywhere on the familiar line...... It's all paths filled with garbage and stagnant water. The pungent smell and the garbage all over the floor make it hard to get up.

"Which part do you mean? Do you take a walk on the ground, or do you choose such a path? Morse strode ahead, and even Dussand's question couldn't slow him down, "Remember to turn right at the intersection ahead, otherwise you'll be straight into the back door of the Upper Albin Police Station." ”

Dussander followed behind Morse and said, "Both refer to - Mr. Morse, if you really encounter a situation where you need to activate the escape route, wouldn't it be too slow to get out on foot?" ”

Morse stopped abruptly.

"If you, Mr. Lord, the Principal Private Secretary to the Speaker of the House of Commons, the only son of the Baron, need to activate the escape route...... "Morse said word by word, looking at Dussand, "that means that your parents, friends, and people close to you are all unreliable or dead. ”

The description was like a bucket of ice water, splashed on Dussand's head.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"In this case, Mr. Lord." Morse looked at Dussander and said, "Even I could be your enemy—if Monsieur Marquis decides to take your life, I will do everything in my power to serve his wishes." ”

Looking at Dussand, whose face was gradually turning blue, Morse said very calmly and naturally, "I am Mr. Marquise's secret guard, but now I am still the one who handed over the evacuation line to you. So, I hope you'll memorize all the routes I've given you, and continue digging for a safe passage to the final extraction point yourself. ”

"This evacuation point does not belong to any one force, or rather, any one force has a foot in it." Morse continued to walk forward with Dussand, "In this extraction point, you need to find the ...... directly She. ”

The blackened gate was covered with a patina-covered signboard with three words written in a large, rigid font.

"Upper Albin Textile Market"

"We're coming to Miss Penny." There was an old man about the same height as Dusson under the sign, and Morse stepped up to her and said to her very naturally and kindly, "My code name is 'Sequoia.'" ”

The old man raised his eyelids and looked at Morse, then slowly got up and walked into the room. Dussart and Morse followed.

"Remember, after you give your codename, you must follow Mr. Pierce into this room as soon as possible." Morse continued his explanation, "When you put a code name and enter this room, it means that you have been sheltered by Miss Petunia and the rest of the bazaar. ”

"The ...... of the bazaar Asylum? Dussaint smiled disapprehrovingly, "Can such shelter allow me to survive the threat of killing my parents?" ”

"If you have a code name and you've managed to get into this place." Morse smiled, "...... No way. ”

Duschild shrugged his shoulders.

"But this shelter will keep you alive for the next twelve hours. And during those twelve hours, the bazaar will send you safely to a smuggling ship. ”

"As long as the Empire doesn't bring in all four Guards fleets and completely block all orbits from Newsar to Planet Eight, this smuggling ship will be able to leave Newsar smoothly and then take you all the way to the territory of the Star Sea Federation at full speed." Morse took out his pocket watch from his belt and looked at it, "So, do you have any more questions?" ”

"What kind of place is the Star Sea Federation? Who are they? I know they're rebels against the Alliance, can't I get them to cooperate with the Empire? What kind of organization is the bazaar? Why have I never heard this name in the heraldic administration? Dussander's questions were as numerous as mountains, and he asked eagerly, "Why does the bazaar have so much power?" Are you sure they're not fooling people? ”

"The bazaar is an organization with a long history. Their history is said to be almost as long as the empire. Morse, who had recovered some of his feelings as a teacher, explained the situation a little and said, "You have other questions, we can wait and then continue to discuss." ”

"Because there's more important work now?" Dusand looked at the room, which was basically the size of a school communication room, and wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll give you a code name." A female voice interjected abruptly, her voice sounding a little older, "Nice to meet you...... Your Excellency the Principal Secretary. ”

"I think you're Miss Penny." Dussaint said, "Hello, I'm ......"

"Your Excellency, Chief Secretary." Miss Petunia said in an accentuated tone, "It's fine that I know who you are—we're not used to calling each other by our real names in this place. ”

Morse shrugged his shoulders and said to Dussand, "Of course the name 'Penny' won't be true, and ......"

"Don't be curious about the names of the people you meet here." Miss Penny added, "Mr. Secretary, don't try to use Aika's power to probe us. ”

"Part of the Aika originated in the bazaar, but there were some splits later. Of course, it was a very bloody and brutal history. Morse pulled up a chair, sat down on his own, and said, "I can help with the narrative and educational parts later." Now the focus is on ......"

"Your code name." Miss Penny continued, "This is important. ”

Dussaint stood still, looking at Morse, then at Penny.

"You two have a problem." Dussaint clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the faces of the two men with interest.

"She's related to me by blood, and she's technically my cousin." Morse didn't give Dussander a chance to play his head and revealed the answer directly. "Personally, I would advise you to be cautious about your code name – I've seen a poor colleague whose code name is 'Meatball.'"

Dusson was stunned, "Meat balls? ”

"Traditionally, people who work underground like to replace their numbers with their proudest key to action." Penny explains, "Mr. Meatball infiltrated a duke's mansion during an operation and managed to become a chef. He completes the final assassination with a meat ball. ”

"And then he became a meat ball." Morse smiled and said, "As for my code name, Sequoia......"

"Oh yes, those cedar trees around the Duke of Saar's mansion, right?" Dussander suddenly realized, "That was your idea?" ”

Morse nodded, "You know, in the bazaar, the code name also means 'seniority' to some extent. Deeds are tied to the codename, which means that you will not be a person to be messed with. ”

"The last time a drunk guy laughed at Mr. Meatball, his body was found in Sunset Square two days later - he was choked to death." Miss Petunia gestured a basketball-sized shape in the air with her hand, "and he had such a big ball of meat in his mouth." ”

"This thing can't fit into people's mouths, can it?" Dussaint was stunned by the size.

"So that guy's jaw was cut open first, and then it was filled with such a big ball of meat." Morse sighed, "So, don't mess with people in the bazaar. ”

If you follow the custom of "deeds and code names", Dussand's code name is probably "leaflet" or "bitter meat trick" or something like that, but ...... This kind of code name sounds too ugly.

"It's a tradition, but you can't follow it, right?" Dussander asked, "Isn't Miss Penny's code name a pseudonym?" ”

"It is the prerogative of the assembly staff to use people's names as code names." Morse coughed lightly and said, "You'd better not try to do that." ”

"You can pick a word else." Penny thought for a moment and said, "After all, you don't usually have much to do with the rally, and this code name is only used when you activate the escape route." ”

Dussaint was silent for a moment and then said, "Then ...... Foolish. ”

Foolish man moves mountains, this is the direction that Dussaint chooses for the difficulties and challenges he faces. It is also his encouragement and expectation for himself.

In the culture and history of the empire, there is no such thing as Yugong moving mountains. After all, everything is in the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is enough to be grateful to His Majesty the Emperor and sacrifice his loyalty and even his life.

Why not be satisfied with the status quo and dig into the mountains that block your path?

But Dussand, who had crossed over to the empire, was not satisfied.

There was a strange sense of shackles in this empire from top to bottom, whether it was His Majesty the Emperor, the colonial hall, the House of Commons, or the nobility, the freemen and the poor, all of whom seemed to have no sense of the rigidity and numbness of this society. Those in authority look at the misery of the people without sympathy, and those who are powerless struggle but do not care too much.

It felt very wrong, very wrong. This should not be what a normal human society should be.

Dussander knew very well that he would most likely not be able to return to his hometown. He can no longer see the Yunhe Tower in his hometown, see the surging Yangtze River, and taste the lotus root pork rib soup made by his mother.

He was homesick.

Homesick and unable to return, there is only one way for Dussaint to relieve the deep sorrow in his heart.

At the very least, make the empire look a little more normal and make it look a little bit like home.

Then be a fool. The numbness and indifference of the whole empire are the "two mountains" in front of Dussand. His power is limited, just like a real fool.

But even if you spend your life in your life, you can only loosen the soil for two mountains, and this is not a waste of time.

"Foolish?" Mr. Morse pronounced a few of these two words, and the words "stupid" and "old man" together could only make him think of the old beggars who drank bad wine all day long and waited for death.

"That's a good codename." On the contrary, Penny is quite satisfied with this codename, "Surely no one will associate this code name with you, but 'Fool' sounds a little deliberate, how about 'Fool'?" Downplay age, it's easier to blur other people's speculations. ”

Dussander shook his head vigorously, and righteously refused, "I don't want to be a poor ghost, and I don't want to drill into the toilet when there is nothing to do, and end up with hemorrhoids!" ”
