“……”

Looking at Leon, who stood up alive not long after he finished speaking, the middle-aged Joshua was really a little numb.

This "little Baggins", who doesn't know where it came from, is like a specially sent by God to disgust himself, and his efforts over the years have only taken him thirty minutes to completely destroy them.

Now this chaotic party established by his own hands not only has nothing to do with him in the future, but even looking at the eyes of these people, it is estimated that he is already thinking about whether to take down himself, if he delays any longer, I am afraid it is difficult to say whether he can leave.

……

"Whew...... I'll admit you won! ”

Glaring angrily at the "Little Baggins" across the table, the middle-aged man who had lost so badly gritted his teeth and said:

"But don't think that's the end of it, when these idiots run into a wall behind you and understand how unrealistic what you're talking about, they'll betray you like they betrayed me today!"

"You're wrong, nothing has anything to do with betrayal in this room today."

Touching his heart, which was still in pain, Leon resisted the urge to grin his teeth, shook his head and continued to pierce his heart with a serious face:

"If you can't bring them the results they want, and you can't get them to agree with your ideas, and you can't give them a future worth looking forward to, of course they won't want to go with you.

Or, if you really want to say betrayal, it's not that they betrayed you, it's that you betrayed them first. ”

“……”

"I'm not telling you that!"

The middle-aged man, who knew that he was not even worthy of lifting shoes for the other party, knew that the general trend was gone, decisively gave up continuing to debate with Leon, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and discussed as rationally as possible:

"Little Baggins...... Whether you're really Little Baggins or not, I'll call you that.

If you're really going to save the country, as you say, then you'll have to do as I say, take people to raid the Boarding Tower, kill the sniffers of the Kingdom of Crock, and destroy all the information about the Kingdom's mineral deposits! ”

“……”

Unexpectedly, even at this time, the middle-aged Joshua was still thinking about the attack on the boarding tower, knowing that he was Leon who came back from the future, he couldn't help frowning and asking:

"Why?"

"I can't say!"

After hearing Leon's inquiry, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say with a gloomy face:

"The more I reveal about the future, the greater the impact, and the faster I'll die! Got it? Also, since you're so smart, why not guess for yourself? ”

“……”

This undersmoked taste...... It's OK, it's 200 percent Joshua.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who obviously wanted to "beg for someone", but he had to put on a high posture and talk about you, Leon couldn't help but smack his lips speechlessly.

Yesterday, I felt that he was a little familiar, and the reason why I didn't think of Joshua was because "Lord Nathan" at that time seemed to have a good emotional intelligence, and he was gentle and polite to others.

Such a person, and Joshua in the palace who shook his head slightly, and his almond-sized brain began to roll around in his head, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't get in touch with him.

But now it seems that after experiencing the collapse of the country and the death of the family in the future, this product seems to have grown a lot, even if it is anxious, it will still reveal its true nature, but at least learn how to pretend to it.

Well...... Then he really has to think about what he said.

After following the words of the middle-aged Joshua and thinking about what might happen, Leon squinted his eyes slightly and said:

"You mean, those sniffers have discovered very valuable mineral deposits, and the Kingdom of Crocker will even go to war directly against the kingdom in the future in order to obtain those mineral deposits?"

"I didn't mean that!"

The middle-aged man snorted when he heard this, and denied Leon's speculation without hesitation, but raised his hand slightly to comb his hair, and showed Leon his sideburns that were a little whiter again.

Suddenly getting old...... So what meaning I guessed right?

Faced with the information given by the middle-aged Joshua Krypton, Leon's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, vaguely understanding why he suddenly wanted to attack the boarding tower.

……

If you want to rank the twelve countries in this world in order of overall strength, the kingdom can only rank about seven or eight, but the Crocker Kingdom, which is known as the capital of machinery, is a steady battle for one.

That miniature country with a population of only a few million, and an area the size of only half a county of the kingdom, although the territory is very small, the level of the machinery industry has surpassed that of other kingdoms by at least a hundred years, and most of the jobs have been replaced by machines.

However, the high degree of mechanization brings an almost pathological thirst for energy, in addition to the most basic coal and oil, the unique lightning mine of Van Duststone in the land of thunderstorms, the concentrated blubber refined from the whaling ship of Theo in the country of thousands of sails, and the sunbird feathers of Riverley in the kingdom of refractive light......

Everything that can provide energy will be targeted by them at the first time, and they will forcibly ask for it, and if it cannot be obtained by conventional means, it will not hesitate to go to war directly.

Even the airships that shuttle through the sky, and the boarding towers that stand on the territory of various kingdoms, are themselves technologies that the Krock Kingdom directly shared "for free" in order to achieve the goal of finding energy.

The only price of gifting the "power to the sky" to the major kingdoms is to ensure that the sniffers sent by the Crock Kingdom can travel unhindered all the way, so that it can get the information of various mineral deposits and energy resources in the first time, which shows their huge demand for energy.

But...... That's still not quite right, right?

After pondering the relevant situation in his mind, Leon's brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.

Although the Kingdom of Crocker is extremely strong, it is easy to die because the population is too small, and it has mastered a lot of high-end technology, and it is extremely easy to make money in "international trade", so it is usually reasonable.

This country is not the type to be so arrogant that it will not resort to force unless necessary, especially when it comes to energy procurement deals, and it is a little intimidating to be generous.

Therefore, if it is an ordinary energy deposit, with the attitude of the kingdom on weekdays, it should choose to directly hand over the mining rights in exchange for a large amount of money and technical support from the Crocker Kingdom, how can it choose to go to war?

Or to put it more bluntly, the kingdom's muscle mass and the Krock's kingdom are not of the same magnitude at all, and it is estimated that as long as the muscles are brightened a little, with the kingdom's always weak external style, it is estimated that it will immediately admit intimidation, how can it be to the point of going to war?

"Are you sure?"

After stealthily grabbing the black goat's horns, Leon asked with a serious face:

"The future kingdom will really develop to the point where it has to go to war with the Crocker Kingdom because of the mineral deposit materials in the hands of those sniffers?"

"I don't know anything."

said that I didn't know, but his hand was raised, and after pointing to his gray sideburns, the middle-aged man said with a gloomy expression:

"I've already said it just now, guess for yourself!"

“……”

Don't guess, your soul has already given me the answer......

After looking at the middle-aged man's fierce but very stable soul flame, and making sure that he was not lying, and really witnessed the war from the Kingdom of Crocker in the future, Leon couldn't help frowning and said:

"So why?"

Finding that the middle-aged Joshua was not untargeted, although he didn't quite agree with his rash attack on the boarding tower and annoyed the Crock's kingdom, Leon still opened his mouth and asked:

"What the hell did the sniffers find? How could it be so big? ”

"You want to know?"

Glancing at the frowning brow in his eyes, the middle-aged Joshua, who had lost a lot today, sneered, and said very happily:

"If you want to know, then you can lead someone to attack the boarding tower and grab the mineral records!"

Hehe, little Baggins, don't look at you ruining my business now, but I believe that after reading that information, no matter what you think in your heart, you will still make the same choice as me in the end! ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed at Leon from afar, and said defiantly with hatred in his eyes:

"Wait! The facts will prove to you who is the right one between me and you! ”

“……”

"Also, don't think you're going to catch me."

Looking around the room with different expressions, and even faintly surrounded by the chaotic parties, the middle-aged man said with disgust in his eyes:

"Don't try it in vain, if any danger arises, I'll be removed immediately! You damned traitors, you can only ...... forever"

"His Highness Joshua." ?!!!

After hearing his name from the mouth of "Little Baggins", the middle-aged man couldn't help but be startled, and he was directly choked back with half of the cruel words, and looked at Leon opposite with horror in his eyes.

And the rebels in the house didn't understand the meaning of the name just now, but after seeing his demeanor, several people with fast brains reacted suddenly, and looked at their former leader with shocked faces.

……

"Judging by your expression, I should have guessed correctly."

Seeing that the middle-aged version of Prince Joshua seemed to want to run, Leon, who lacked the means to keep people, had to open his mouth to reveal his identity.

And after successfully achieving his goal and dragging Prince Joshua who wanted to evacuate again, Leon secretly reached out and knocked on the small mirror, signaling Youha to urge Emma's seniors, and asked calmly:

"Your Highness Joshua, I'm curious, what will you go through in the future to change from an arrogant and ignorant prince to what you are now?"

“……”

"Little Baggins...... You're such a horrible person......"

After a moment of silent silence, the middle-aged Joshua took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, wiped off the thin powder on his cheekbones to cover it, and revealed the two small pieces of iconic irregular freckles in the stunned expressions of the rebels.

"That's right, I'm Joshua...... But it's not the stupid prince now, it's Joshua in the future, Joshua as the last king of the kingdom! ”

"This ...... This ......"

"How could it be !!"

"Prince? The leader of the rebellious party is a prince! ”

Facing the middle-aged Joshua who calmly admitted his identity, all the chaotic parties couldn't hold back, and the bald girl who was the hardcore leader was even more painful to hold her head.

If the leader of the chaotic party is a prince, and even the entire chaotic party was created by him, then what are these people fighting against in the past?

A bunch of idiots!

After looking at these former subordinates with disdain, the middle-aged Joshua directly looked away and looked at the "Little Baggins" opposite, and said with a puzzled face:

"Tell me, how did you find out?"

“……”

Actually, it wasn't me who found out, it was another one you had a nightmare, and then Emma's seniors and the director summed it up, and after ruling out other possibilities, they directly speculated about your existence, and I just rubbed the results they came up with.

Of course, these big truths are naturally impossible to tell to middle-aged Joshua.

Curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and after giving the incomprehensible middle-aged man on the other side an unfathomable smile, Leon said nonsense:

"That's because, of course, you've exposed too many flaws."

"Flaws?"

"Yes, Flaw."

After stealing a glance at the middle-aged man's watch, and estimating the time Emma's predecessor needed, Leon slowed down his voice and continued to delay the time:

"Even if you have changed a lot, and you can even treat me as an ordinary person gently, the arrogance in your bones still can't be changed.

In addition, there is your obsession with saving the kingdom, and the inexplicable resentment against the moths of the kingdom, which are very different from others. ”

After raising his hand to compare with the others, Leon continued to talk nonsense with a serious face:

"Others want to save the kingdom, but they want to make changes and move towards a better future, and the expectations you express are more like trying to redeem regrets.

While other people's hatred for those moths is motivated by empathy for what happened to the victims, your anger is more like someone is destroying your property.

It may not be obvious on its own, but when you're with other people and you show emotions like expectation and anger, it can seem out of place. ”

“……”

……

It's just a little difference in this regard, and I'm just revealing the stuffing?

I didn't know about another self having a nightmare at all, and after listening to Leon's nonsense, the middle-aged man who had been fooled and lame suddenly couldn't help but take a deep breath, stared at Leon with complicated eyes and said:

"So you see me as having a family environment that can cultivate a proud personality, treating the entire kingdom as my own property, knowing what the future holds, and desperately trying to save it...... That's not enough!

Little Baggins, you were able to see through the situation in the kingdom at a glance and come up with a feasible plan, but I don't believe you can deduce my identity based on these small things alone! ”

“……”

Indeed, because I didn't deduce it at all.

I just got in during the day yesterday, so how do you know what details are not detailed? These words are all questions with answers, purely to delay time and bluff you, just sound unreasonable!

"Of course, that's not enough, I do have other news."

After squinting his eyes and looking at the expression of the middle-aged man, Leon, who had succeeded in the next set, smiled and asked rhetorically in the eyes of the "shocked" eyes of the chaotic party:

"Then Your Highness Joshua, now that we all have something we want to know, I wonder if you would like to make an exchange with me? You tell me what those deposits are, and I'll tell you how you guessed your identity, what do you think of the deal? ”

"I ......"

Unaware that Leon was preparing to empty the white wolf, the middle-aged man who was full of questions that needed to be answered in the face of the quid pro quo he proposed suddenly clenched his fists subconsciously and started an extremely fierce psychological struggle.

After a while, his clenched fist loosened slightly, gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"You devil...... I don't change! If you want to know what it is, you can see for yourself! ”

Relying on great perseverance, after rejecting the deal with "Little Baggins", as if afraid that he would not be able to help but change his mind, the middle-aged man immediately took out a pistol and aimed it at his head, ready to rely on the crisis to activate the back hand left by the director of the water bottle.

However, what the middle-aged man didn't expect at all was that at the moment when he pulled the trigger, the "Little Baggins" on the opposite side, who claimed to be able to only make people bow, just raised his hand and grabbed it in the void, and directly pinched his pistol into a ball of scrap iron?!!!

After seeing the toad pendant in the neckline of "Little Baggins", which was flashing with golden arcs, the middle-aged man couldn't help but tremble and almost glared out of his eyes!

"You...... You are!!! ”
