I! Cleaner!

“…”

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

This "little Baggins" who didn't know where he came from was like a god sent to disgust him. He destroyed all his efforts for so many years in just 30 minutes.

Now this rebel party that he personally established not only has nothing to do with him in the future, but even looking at the eyes of these people, it is estimated that they are already considering whether to take him down. If he delays any longer, it is hard to say whether he can leave.

…

“Huh… I admit you win!”

The defeated middle-aged man glared at “Little Baggins” across the table and gritted his teeth:

“But don’t think it’s over. When these idiots hit a wall behind you and realize how unrealistic your words are, they will betray you like they betrayed me today!”

“You’re wrong. Nothing about betrayal happened in this room today.”

Touching his heart that was still in phantom pain, Leon resisted the urge to grin, shook his head and continued to say with a serious face:

“You can’t bring them the results they want, you can’t make them agree with your ideas, and you can’t give them a future worth looking forward to. Of course, they won’t be willing to follow you.

Or, if you really want to talk about betrayal, it’s not that they betrayed you, but that you betrayed them first.”

“…”

“I’m not telling you this!”

Knowing that he was not even worthy of carrying the other person’s shoes with his skills in talking, the middle-aged man, who knew that the situation was over, decisively Giving up on arguing with Lyon, he took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and tried to discuss rationally:

"Little Baggins... Whether you are really Little Baggins or not, I will call you that first.

If you are really ready to save this country as you said, then you must do as I say, lead people to raid the boarding tower, kill those sniffers of the Kingdom of Crook, and destroy all the information about the kingdom's mineral deposits!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, even at this time, middle-aged Joshua was still thinking about the action of attacking the boarding tower. Knowing that he was Lyon who came back from the future, he frowned and asked:

"Why?"

"I can't say!"

After hearing Lyon's question, 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 will die! Do you understand? And since you are so smart, why don't you guess it yourself?"

"..."

This smell of asking for a slap... It's confirmed that this guy is 200% Joshua.

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

Yesterday, I felt that he looked a little familiar. The reason why I didn't think of Joshua was because "Lord Nathan" at that time seemed to have a high EQ and was gentle and polite in dealing with people.

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, can't be connected no matter how hard you think.

But now it seems that after experiencing the destruction of the country and the family in the future, this guy seems to have grown up a lot. Even if he still reveals his true nature when he is angry, he has at least learned how to pretend at ordinary times.

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

Following the words of the middle-aged Joshua, after thinking about what might happen, Lyon narrowed his eyes and said:

"You mean, those sniffers found very precious mineral deposits, and the Kingdom of Korok will not hesitate to go to war with the kingdom in the future to get those mineral deposits?"

"That's not what I mean!"

The middle-aged man snorted when he heard it, and denied Lyon's guess without hesitation, but raised his hand slightly to tidy up his hair, showing Lyon his sideburns that had turned a little whiter again.

Suddenly I got older... So it means I guessed right?

Facing the information given by the middle-aged Joshua, Lyon couldn't help but frown slightly, and vaguely understood why he suddenly wanted to attack the boarding tower.

...

If the twelve countries in this world were to be ranked according to their overall strength, the kingdom could only be ranked around seventh or eighth, while the Kingdom of Korok, known as the capital of machinery, was firmly in second place and striving for first place.

That micro-country, with a population of only a few million and an area only half the size of a county in the kingdom, has a very small territory, but its level of mechanical industry has surpassed other kingdoms by at least a hundred years, and most of the work has been replaced by machines.

However, the high degree of mechanization has brought about an almost morbid desire for energy. In addition to the most basic coal and oil, there are lightning-struck ore unique to the Thunderstorm Kingdom of Vandaston, concentrated whale blubber refined by the whaling ships of the Thousand Sails Sea Kingdom, and the sun bird feathers of the Refraction Kingdom of River...

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

Even the airships that shuttle through the sky and the boarding towers standing on the territories of various kingdoms are technologies that the Kingdom of Korok directly shared "free of charge" in order to achieve the goal of finding energy.

The only price of giving the "power to ascend to the sky" to the major kingdoms is to ensure that the sniffers sent by the Kingdom of Korok have unimpeded access, so that it can obtain information on various mineral deposits and energy sources as soon as possible, which shows how great their demand for energy is.

But... this is still not right, right?

After thinking about the relevant situation in his mind, Leon's brows could not help but frown slightly.

Although the Kingdom of Korok is extremely powerful, it has a small population and cannot afford to die easily, and it has mastered a lot of high-end technology. It makes money very easily in "international trade", so it is usually reasonable.

This country is not the type that is so arrogant that it is completely uncooperative. It will not choose to resort to force unless necessary, especially when it comes to transactions involving energy procurement, it is even more generous and a little scary.

So if it is an ordinary energy deposit, based on the kingdom's usual attitude, it should choose to directly hand over the mining rights in exchange for a large amount of money and technical support from the Kingdom of Korok. Why would it choose to go to war?

Or to put it more bluntly, the Kingdom's muscle mass is not at the same level as the Korok Kingdom. If they show off their muscles a little, they will immediately give in to the weak external style of the Kingdom. How could they possibly go to the point of going to war?

"Are you sure?"

After secretly grabbing the horns of the black goat, Leon asked seriously:

"Will the Kingdom in the future really go to the point of going to war with the Korok Kingdom because of the mineral information in the hands of those sniffers?"

"I don't know anything."

He said I don't know, but raised his hand and pointed to his graying temples. The middle-aged man said gloomily:

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

"..."

No need to guess, your soul has given me the answer...

After looking at the middle-aged man's fierce but very stable soul flame, Leon couldn't help but frowned after confirming that he was not lying and really witnessed the war from the Korok Kingdom in the future. :

"So why?"

Finding that middle-aged Joshua was not aimless, although he did not agree with his rash attack on the boarding tower and angering the Kingdom of Crook, Lyon still asked:

"What did those sniffers find? Why did it make such a big fuss?"

"Do you want to know?"

Glancing at Lyon's frowning brows, middle-aged Joshua, who had lost miserably today, sneered and said happily:

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

Haha, little Baggins, don't think you have ruined my business now, but I believe that after reading those materials, no matter what you think in your heart, you will eventually make the same choice as me! "

While the middle-aged man said, he raised his hand and pointed at Lyon from a distance, and said provocatively with hatred:

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

"..."

"In addition, don't think you can catch me. "

Looking around the room, the middle-aged man said with disgust at the different expressions on his face, and even at the rebels who were surrounding him:

"Don't waste your energy. As long as there is any danger, I will be moved away immediately! You damn traitors can only..."

"His Highness Joshua."

?!!!

After hearing his name from "Little Baggins", the middle-aged man was startled and choked back the harsh words he had just said. He looked at Leon opposite with horror.

The rebels in the room didn't understand the meaning of the name just now, but after seeing his expression, the quick-witted people reacted suddenly and looked at their former leader with shock on their faces.

...

"Judging from your expression, I guess I guessed right. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged version of Prince Joshua seemed to want to run away, Lyon, who lacked the means to keep him, had to speak out his identity.

After successfully achieving his goal and delaying Prince Joshua who wanted to evacuate again, Lyon secretly reached out and knocked on the small mirror, signaling Young Ha to urge Senior Emma, ​​and asked calmly:

"Your Highness Joshua, I am very curious, what exactly did you experience in the future to change from an arrogant and ignorant prince to what you are now?"

"..."

"Little Baggins...you are such a terrible person..."

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

"Yes, I am Joshua...but not the stupid prince now, but the future Joshua, the last king of the kingdom!"

"This...this..."

"How is it possible! ! ! "

"Prince? The leader of the rebels is the prince!"

Faced with the middle-aged Joshua who frankly admitted his identity, all the rebels could not hold back. The bald woman, who was a die-hard leader, hugged her head in great pain.

If the leader of the rebels was the prince, and even the entire rebels were founded by him, then what were they fighting against in the past?

A bunch of idiots!

After looking at these former subordinates with contempt, the middle-aged Joshua directly looked away and looked at the "little Baggins" opposite, and said with confusion:

"Tell me, how did you find out?"

"..."

In fact, I didn't discover it. It was another you who had a nightmare. Then Senior Emma and the Director combined their efforts to eliminate other possibilities and directly deduce your existence. I just took advantage of their results.

Of course, it is impossible to tell these truths to middle-aged Joshua.

After slightly curling up the corners of his mouth and giving an enigmatic smile to the middle-aged man opposite him who looked puzzled, Leon blurted out:

"Of course it's because you exposed too many flaws."

"flaw?"

"Yes, a flaw."

Secretly glancing at the middle-aged man's watch, and after estimating how much time Senior Emma would need, Leon slowed down his speech and continued to delay:

"Even though you have changed a lot and can even be gentle to an ordinary person like me, the arrogance in your bones still cannot be changed.

In addition, there is your obsession to save the kingdom, and the inexplicable resentment towards the kingdom's worms, which are very different from others. "

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

"Although other people also want to save the kingdom, they want to make changes and move towards a better future, but the expectations you expressed are more like trying to save regrets;

While other people hate the bugs out of empathy for their victims, your anger feels more like someone is destroying your property.

It may not be obvious on your own, but when you're around other people and you express emotions like expectation and anger at the same time, it can seem out of place. "

"..."

…

It's just a small difference in this aspect, and I just exposed it?

He didn't even know about the other person's nightmare. After listening to Lyon's nonsense, the middle-aged man who had been deceived and lame suddenly couldn't help but take a deep breath, stared at Lyon with complicated eyes and said:

"So in your eyes, I have a family environment that can cultivate an arrogant character, regard the entire kingdom as my own property, know what will happen in the future, and still desperately want to save the kingdom... these are not enough!

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

"..."

Indeed, because I am not inferring it at all.

I just sneaked in during the day yesterday, how could I know what details were missing? These words are all looking for questions with answers. They are said purely to delay time and scare you. It just sounds unreasonable!

"Of course, these alone are not enough. I do have other news."

After squinting his eyes to examine the middle-aged man's expression, Leon, who had successfully tricked him, smiled and asked in the "shocked" eyes of the gangsters:

"So, Your Highness Joshua, now that we all have something we want to know, would you like to make an exchange with me? Tell me what those mineral deposits are, and I will tell you how I guessed your identity. , what do you think of this deal?”

"I……"

Unknown to Leon, he was ready to give up nothing. Faced with the exchange conditions he proposed, the middle-aged man, who was full of questions that needed to be answered, immediately subconsciously clenched his fists and started an extremely fierce psychological struggle.

After a while, he loosened his tightly clenched fists slightly, gritted his teeth and shook his head:

"You devil...I won't change! If you want to know what it is, just go and see it yourself!"

With great perseverance, after rejecting the deal with "Little Baggins", as if he was afraid that he would change his mind, the middle-aged man immediately took out a pistol and pointed it at his head, preparing to rely on the crisis. Activate the backhand left by the Aquarius director.

However, what the middle-aged man didn't expect was that at the moment he pulled the trigger, "Little Baggins" on the opposite side, who said he could only make people bow, just raised his hand and squeezed it in the air, and directly squeezed his pistol into a A ball of scrap metal!

? ! ! !

When he saw the toad pendant flashing with golden arc light in the collar of "Little Baggins", the middle-aged man couldn't help but trembled, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets!

"You...you are!!!"
