0195 Hidden and Illuminated

Is this the settlement of the rebels?

Carrying a tin drum full of orange-red palm oil, mixed with other members of the party in charge of procurement, he entered an old warehouse on Aiguo Street in batches.

Instead of a dimly lit warehouse covered with dust and miscellaneous goods, Leon saw a verdant valley of low-rise buildings, where many people were busy preparing for something on the artificially excavated dirt road.

Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately took a breath, and then pretended to be tired of carrying the oil drum, and looked at the surrounding environment by changing the oil drum to the other shoulder.

The rest of the directions are normal, and there is nothing to make out the location, but to the northwest of the valley, a huge tower in the shape of a figure of 7 can be faintly seen.

The steel-framed giant tower sent by the Krock Kingdom is the boarding tower used when taking a hard airship, and the short horizontal above the "7" is the "platform" that allows passengers to get on and off the airship, which is one of the landmarks of the royal capital.

……

Boarding the tower in the northwest of the words...... So this is a valley southeast of the royal capital?

After relying on his outstanding eyesight to find the boarding tower and confirm his current position, Leon couldn't help but gasp.

Looking at the size of the boarding tower, it is estimated that this valley must be fifteen or sixteen kilometers away from the king's capital, and he just entered a door, and he actually came directly to a dozen kilometers away?

No wonder, no wonder the people of the Secret Investigation Bureau almost searched the royal capital, but they didn't find the settlement of the rebels, it turned out that this place was not in the royal capital at all, and it was strange that they could find it!

Is...... This spatial shifting anomaly, the ability is really a bit outrageous!

After carefully noting down his findings, Leon, who changed the oil drum from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, seemed to be suddenly a little dizzy, and staggered back half a step with his footsteps, and then "instinctively" reached out and grabbed the door frame of the warehouse door, and "had no choice" to hold the doorknob, so that he could barely stand firm.

"Materialism" does not react.

Unfortunately, it seems that although this door has the ability to cross space, the warehouse door itself is not an anomaly, it is likely that it is just some kind of carrier, or the "anomaly" is not attached to the door frame and handle, but to some other location......

"Little Baggins?"

didn't know that Leon's actions had ulterior motives, watching him first pant and change his shoulders, and then suddenly stumble and grab the door frame, the fat uncle who followed behind hurriedly reached out and helped the oil barrel, and instructed with a worried expression:

"If you're not feeling well, put down the oil drum and go home to rest, and I'll come back for another run later."

"No, I don't."

After hearing the fat uncle's words, Leon, who didn't know where "his" home was, quickly shook his head and rejected his kindness, and then regained his footing, carrying the oil drum with "green muscles" and "sweating", and continued to walk towards the warehouse with the people in front of him.

This kid ...... Alas! Like his father, he is a fierce temper that nine cows can't control......

Looking at "Little Baggins's" sweaty clothes and struggling to arch his back, the fat uncle, who was also carrying a large bag of things, couldn't help but sigh, and then quickened his pace to follow, ready to reach out and hold it when he couldn't hold it, so as not to break the oil drum and lest Little Baggins hurt himself.

However, the strange thing is that little Baggins just looked like he was about to run out, and his body even shook, but he just walked around like this for a long time, looking as if he was about to fall at any time, but he really persevered and successfully carried the oil drum to the warehouse.

"Huh?!"

After taking the oil drum from Little Baggins, the person in charge of reconciliation was directly dragged and stumbled, so that he was directly suspended and fell to the ground by the oil drum.

After staggering two steps to stabilize his body, and relying on his belly to hold the oil drum hard, the account keeper raised his head and looked at "Little Baggins" with some surprise:

"What's going on? How did this barrel of oil give so much? Aren't they usually half barrels?"

「……」

Yes? It turns out that the vats of palm oil are only for half a barrel?

After hearing the question of the person who reconciled the account, he knocked him unconscious while Real Baggins was loading oil, and Leon, who replaced his identity, couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, and understood the expression of the oil shop owner at that time, why he stopped talking with a look on his face.

My family has a small population, and I used to use small cans, and I really haven't bought such a large barrel of oil, and after knocking out the real little Baggins, I took it for granted that the oil drum was completely filled before carrying it out.

And the owner of the oil shop saw that he "attacked" the real little Baggins, and was asked by Amy to cooperate with his actions, so he didn't dare to remind him, so he let himself carry this large barrel of oil and left......

"I don't know."

After wiping the sweat that was squeezed out of his head, "Little Baggins", who looked quite handsome, but looked a little cold, moved his shoulders and said expressionlessly:

"That's all the oil shop owner gave, and I asked him, but he said he was right, and I just carried it back."

"Is that all?"

It didn't seem to be a surprise to "Little Baggins" for his coldness, and after pondering for a while, the reconciler said with a firm face:

"It may be that this batch of oil is almost sold out, and the truck is about to leave, so he is in a hurry to empty the vats, so that he can follow the truck to the gas station to pick up new ones and sell them, and simply pour all the remaining oil into you.

It's good, hehe, little Baggins, you were lucky today, and you picked up a big bargain for us."

"Maybe."

After answering without being salty, "Little Baggins", who was cold by nature, turned around and left the storeroom directly, and walked back in the direction he came, and the person who reconciled the account was not angry at his impolite behavior, but greeted the next person with a smile.

Is...... Fortunately, I chose this cold facial paralysis face......

After glancing back at the reconciliation person's expression and confirming that there was nothing unusual, Leon's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he rejoiced in his choice.

The list of suspected chaotic purchasers given by Amy is almost twenty people, and the reason why she chose this little Baggins is because he has a cold personality and few words, and he doesn't look very gregarious.

Although such a person is not concealed enough, because of less communication and less expression, it is most difficult to show his stuff when there is insufficient information, and it is difficult for him to behave so "normal" if he is replaced by a more cheerful person who talks a lot.

Good luck!

After looking around, Leon immediately set his sights on the building in the center of the valley.

Now that you have successfully mixed in, it is time to complete the task, give priority to finding the pair of ancestors and grandchildren who are suspected of having the ability to remember, and find a way to erase the princess......

"Little Baggins!"

Just as Leon was about to start his own investigation, the fat uncle, who had helped him from behind, quickly chased him out of the warehouse.

After opening his mouth to stop the "stubborn" little Baggins, the fat uncle with a scruffy beard couldn't help but complain:

"That barrel of oil is so full, why didn't you call me to help, and just carried it back by yourself? Falling off a bucket is a trivial matter, but what if you hurt your waist?"

「……」

I knew that luck or something was definitely an illusion!

Looking at the acquaintances in front of him who took the initiative to talk, Leon, who was short of information, couldn't help but have a headache, and then tried to maintain the facial paralysis of Little Baggins, and responded coldly:

"I tried to carry it, and I thought it was about the same, so I just carried it back myself."

"!"

Seeing that he was still reckless, the fat uncle couldn't help but be a little angry, blowing his beard and glaring:

"I just tried to carry it, and I almost flashed my waist, you have been carrying such a big barrel of oil for so long, can your body hold it?

Besides, when you crossed the door before, you almost fell, and I followed behind and watched it all! What can you do?"

「……」

Is...... I knew it would be like this, so I put up with it a little

For a while, it's better not to touch the door frame and handle directly.

"Why are you so stubborn, kid?"

Looking at little Baggins, who bowed his head and was silent, still "stubbornly" refused to squeak, the fat uncle couldn't help but sigh and persuaded bitterly:

"I know you're bitter and want to find something to do to numb yourself, but also pay attention to your body, don't consume too much, you may not feel it when you're young, and when you're old."

"You don't care!"

Worried about the investigation and worried that he would be exposed if he chatted for too long, Leon was anxious to get rid of this kind uncle who was a little talkative, so he raised his head and glared at him, and unceremoniously refused:

"I know how my body is! You don't need to be verbose."

「……」

"You...... What's wrong with you?"

Startled by the sudden explosion of "Little Baggins", the fat uncle couldn't help but be stunned, and then said a little suspiciously:

"Little Baggins? Are you ...... today? How is it a little strange? You've never talked to me like that before......

「……」

Ah......h It seems that even if the appearance is exactly the same, for familiar people, there is still a difference after all, is this not right?

Just when Leon's eyes wandered slightly, and he began to think about how to cover it, the fat uncle came up with an answer on his own, and said with some annoyance on his kind face:

"Isn't it Old Baggins? He's been beating you up again in the past two days, isn't he? Did he rob you of your money again to buy alcohol and drink?"

「……」

Taking Leon's silence as a tacit acquiescence, the fat uncle's honest round face quickly turned red, grabbed his wrist and rolled up his sleeve, and sure enough, he found a few long strips of bruises at the elbow.

"Damn it! This dog thing! Sooner or later, I'm going to die on those two mouthfuls of horse urine!"

After scolding angrily, the fat uncle grabbed Leon, who had been "tragically subjected to domestic violence", and strode back in the direction he came, and said angrily with angry eyes as he walked:

"Can't get used to him anymore! You come back with me to him! I'm sure I'll help you get your money back!"

「……」

Ah......h I managed to sneak in, so why did I have to go back without doing anything?

Just a little free play, he was directly discovered that something was wrong, and at this moment, Leon was not good to mess around again, so he had to let the fat uncle pull him, and walked back and forth step by step, getting farther and farther away from the suspicious building in the center of the valley......

"Bang!"

Just as Leon was reluctantly pulled all the way to the door, about to re-cross the strange door that could pass through space, and leave the valley inhabited by the chaotic party, the old iron warehouse door suddenly twisted twice, and then made a pop, turning into a mahogany door carved with flowers and birds.

With the soft sound of the door shaft, the mahogany door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man who looked quite young, but had a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, walked in.

"Are you going out?"

Walking in from outside the door, and seeing Leon and the fat uncle in the door, the middle-aged man smiled kindly, and then said:

"Wait a minute, I'll change my destination back to it right away."

"Ah, we're not in a hurry!"

After seeing the middle-aged man, the fat uncle subconsciously stood up straight, and then lowered his head with reverence and said:

"Chief, you've been a little haggard lately, so please pay more attention to your body."

"Hehe, I will."

Chieftain?!

Leon, who was following behind, shrank his pupils when he heard this, and then bowed his head respectfully while learning the appearance of the fat uncle, while repeatedly remembering the appearance of the middle-aged man in his mind.

The leaders of the chaotic party, who had worked hard for so many years and had not been able to find, were now standing two meters in front of them! This face must be firmly remembered...... Not...... I don't know why, his facial features seem to be a little familiar?

"That's it!"

I didn't know that one of the two people in front of me was Qing

After the cleaner of the bureau closed the door again, the middle-aged man reached out and touched the nameplate on the edge of the mahogany door frame, and the luxurious mahogany door twisted for a while, turning back into the old iron warehouse door again.

"Get out, I've changed the destination back."

"Thank you, Chief!"

"Hehe, you're welcome."

Leon, who had watched the middle-aged man's operation throughout the whole process, was staring thoughtfully at the nameplate on the door frame, while the middle-aged man, who had inadvertently exposed his bottom, smiled and asked:

"By the way, Owen, you and Little Baggins just came back from the sweat, right? Why don't you go back without resting?"

"The two of us ......"

The fat uncle named Owen hesitated for a moment, then sighed and made his debut:

"Lord Nathan, little Baggins was beaten up again yesterday and the money was robbed, and I was worried that old Baggins would squander that money, so I wanted to take him back quickly."

"That's ......."

Hearing the fat uncle's words, the middle-aged man couldn't help but think of the scene in the morning, and after looking at the bruise on the elbow of "Little Baggins", the smile on his face couldn't help but put away.

"You shouldn't have time to find him."

After shaking his head slightly, the middle-aged man looked at "Little Baggins" and said with a slightly apologetic expression:

"When I met a friend in Aiguo Street in the morning, I actually saw your father across the street, he came out of the tavern drunk and drank all night yesterday with your money.

But before I could get there, he urinated on the street in front of the memorial wall of the Great Patriotic War, and when the patrolling guards found out, he kicked him a few times, grabbed him and locked him up, and I am afraid that your money will not be returned."

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to being beaten or robbed of money anyway."

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Leon, who was about to infiltrate the high-level of the chaotic party by relying on the "anomalous object" that forced him to salute, asked with a slight longing in his eyes while maintaining the character of a young man with facial paralysis who was like a dead heart:

"Chief, I'm ...... What can I do to have magical powers like yours?"

「……」

Because you can't beat your alcoholic father, do you want to have power? How could such a childish and superficial desire give birth to a real abnormality?

Looking at the "Little Baggins" in front of him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

As for this somewhat withdrawn teenager, I had already done some research, and I thought that he did not have what it took to become an "anomaly", and I did not even put him on the watch list of the directors of the water bottle.

But......

Looking at the old and new overlapping stick wounds on Leon's thin arm, and thinking about the iron battle medal that was angrily "spit" on the wall by old Baggins in the morning, along with thick phlegm, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then sighed deeply and stretched out his palm towards the "Little Baggins" in front of him.

"Give me a piece of your hair, and I'll show it to you."
