0197 Glory and Pain
A real powerhouse?
After hearing the words of the burned man, the middle-aged man naturally remembered the director of the water bottle in the morning, and then nodded and admitted:
"Yes, but he's gone, and he probably won't be back anytime soon, and he won't join us."
"Tsk......"
After hearing this boring answer, the burned man couldn't help but snort in disappointment, and then turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the middle-aged man.
"Tiger, how's the situation at the Lawthor Arcade?"
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Of course, how was the fire?"
Looking at the burn man who had a perfunctory attitude and ignored his love, the middle-aged man couldn't help frowning, and asked with a serious expression:
"Didn't I tell you to set fire to the Lawthor Arcade and force the people in the wealthy district to put pressure on the Secret Investigation Bureau to lure the secret police to patrol there? How's it going?"
"This one, it's done!"
The burn man said impatiently:
"I went out at night and burned some garbage stations and traffic posts, and kept an eye on the houses of some big merchants and nobles, and burned down their gardens and carriage sheds, and sneaked into the houses of a few small nobles without guards and set them on fire, which was almost enough."
"Don't be the same, be sure!"
Looking at this subordinate who has become more and more difficult to control recently, the middle-aged man frowned and said:
"After Patton's death, there are no more of us at the top of the Secret Investigation Bureau, and now we have no way of knowing the movements of those secret police, so we must be extra careful to lure the secret police away as much as possible before we can act! You ...... like that."
"I know, I know, then I'll just put it away!"
After answering impatiently, the burned man who couldn't find the "tiger" didn't bother to pay attention to the middle-aged man who was covered with the smell of weakling, and turned away in frustration.
The middle-aged man sighed, then raised his head and looked in the northwest direction of the valley, looking at the towering "7" shaped steel frame tower, and then shook his head slightly, reining the anger in his eyes.
Forget it, it's not necessary.
After breaking three people in a row, it is now in need of manpower, not the time to deal with such a bad person, after all, if this operation fails again, there will not be much time left for himself and the kingdom......
……
"Wang! Wow!"
(It hurts!) It hurts! )
"Woohoo!"
(@#¥% Dog Swear Words)
"Whew? Whew? Woohoo!"
(What do you do?) Suddenly smacking me so much hair on my ass? It hurts! )
Looking at the young ha, who kept appearing on the lamp walls of the street lamps, the puddles on the ground, and the glass of the roadside shops, and screaming at him with aggrieved eyes, Leon had to give it a heartfelt look of apology.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I don't know what the hell is going on with his watch, and I'm worried that giving him my hair will show its stuffing, or the ability to position it down, be controlled, or something like that.
And because the mirror world is an illusory reflection, it can avoid these things, and if you can't get other people's hair in a hurry, you can only pick the same color dog hair on your butt.
I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I really can't help it, I won't do it next time, and when this period passes, I will definitely compensate you!
"Wow Wow ......"
(You'd better do what you say...... )
Do! Do it!
"Little Baggins ......"
After waiting for a long time to see Leon speak, and didn't know that he was making amends to the dog for a handful of butt fur, the fat uncle who walked in front sighed and comforted him gently:
"Don't be too disappointed, it's nothing without that magical ability.
Old Baggins didn't have any ability at all, but didn't he brave the shooting of more than 300 nail guns to carry me out of a trench full of dead people?
So rest assured! Even if you don't have that magical power,
As long as we are brave enough and lucky enough, we can still accomplish a lot of things!"
So...... The reason why you take such good care of "me" is because old Baggins saved your life?
Hearing the fat uncle's words, Leon, who was walking behind him, flashed a look of realization in his eyes.
After glancing at the two rather terrible scars under the collar on the back of his neck, Leon pondered for a moment, wanting to add more information, and then spoke softly:
"Uncle Owen...... Tell me about the past!!"
Didn't you hate hearing this before? How to ...... now?
After hearing this request, which he had never made before, the fat uncle was suddenly startled, and looked back at him in some surprise, feeling that there seemed to be something different about this child.
But when he looked at "Little Baggins" with a rather lost expression, and thought of the scene when he had just fallen from hope to extreme disappointment, he couldn't help but sigh and let go of the strange feeling in his heart.
Yes, he obviously has talent, but he is just a little bit worse, and he misses another life, and it is strange that this child has not changed a little......
"Okay, I'll tell you about it!"
After smiling kindly at Leon, recalling the years when he and old Baggins fought for the country, the fat uncle couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and wanted to tell all those days.
It can not only comfort the lost little Baggins, but also make this kid who has always hated old Baggins understand that his father is actually not so hopeless, and that stinky drunkard used to be a good man before he rotted in the wine vat!
But......
After looking at Little Baggins' thin body and the bruises left by the stick on his arm, the fat uncle suddenly fell silent again, and his kind round eyes showed a deep confusion.
What does his glorious past and that of old Baggins mean to this child?
The family lost its strong laborers, and the military allowance was in arrears for many years, so the child's mother had to cut back on food and clothing, and get up early and do all the hard work, so that her body would completely collapse, and the year before her death, she was tormented by liver disease and howled day and night.
And the old Baggins also fell into a very serious illness because of the injuries he suffered in the war, and he couldn't sleep without alcohol, and he could only watch his wife die of illness after spending all the money, and then completely collapsed, and became a rotten person who now abuses his son and even robs Little Baggins to buy alcohol and drink.
I remember that before the war began, the old Baggins family was still so happy, and the little Baggins still had a reliable father and a gentle mother, and the past that he and the old Baggins were proud of, for this poor child, was the beginning of his fall from heaven to hell......
「……」
After figuring out why little Baggins in the past was extremely disgusted by hearing about the past, the fat uncle's back unconsciously stiffened a little, and his expression quickly fell.
"Actually...... It's just some ...... Some of the past, the past is gone, huh......
It's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's okay if you don't listen to this, let's go and get your money back, if old Baggins is released early, it will be troublesome."
"Uncle Owen, let's talk about it."
"If you have to listen......
After dealing with it vaguely twice, the fat uncle, whose voice was a little depressed, quickened his pace, and said softly as he walked forward:
"Come to my house for dinner in the evening, and I'll tell you about it then, okay?"
