Chapter 233 The Director's Request and
Chapter 233 The Director's Request and
"what?"
Just when Lyon was shocked at the difference between bird eggs and bird eggs, Director Taurus couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he saw him rubbing the materials out of thin air and not only completing the material processing but even directly creating an unusual object.
Although his techniques were extremely crude and the process of handling materials was horrible, the general direction was correct. It turned out that Lyon was not overambitious but had really gotten the hang of it.
What's even more outrageous is that it seems that he has mastered not only the unusual forging secrets of the Taurus lineage, but his method of selecting the final rules clearly has the flavor of "abnormal creation" of the Aquarius lineage.
Without any previous practice, relying only on some scattered memories of observation, he quickly mastered two secret techniques without a teacher, and successfully created an abnormal object on the first try...
Could it be that... this kid is not just overambitious, but is confident enough in his own abilities, and is even a super genius in the field of esoteric arts like the defected Aquarius director?
……
He waved his hand expectantly, took the bird egg that had turned into an abnormal object, and after carefully checking its quality, the smile on Director Taurus's face suddenly became even more intense.
"Yes, I underestimated you."
Looking at the new abnormal object, which was unfamiliar and crude in technique, but had a balanced internal rule ratio and ran smoothly without any obvious errors, the overjoyed Taurus Director could not help but praise it:
“I originally thought that since you had never been exposed to esoteric arts before, it would be great if you could successfully process the materials. I didn’t expect that you could actually create a complete anomaly!
Let me see... hmm... this feels like the cost of using it is very low. It should be the most basic type of physical exertion, but it is also the most stable type for novices. It is a very wise choice.
As for its abilities, it is mainly based on the rules of flesh and blood, supplemented by the rules of demons. It seems to be an abnormal object with dual abilities, and the casting process is quite concealed... Not bad! Really very good!"
Relying on his familiarity with abnormal objects, Director Taurus only took it in his hand and took a look at it, and then he analyzed the [Egg of Sharpness] almost accurately.
After completing the inspection and handing the item back to Leon, the kind-looking old lady smiled and asked with unusual joy:
"I won't guess the rest. Just tell me directly. What are the two abilities of this thing?"
"Forehead……"
After a slight hesitation, Leon replied with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes:
"The first ability is the corrupt attribute, which can make a person's temperament evil and look more like a demon."
"That's it..."
Director Jinniu thought for a moment and nodded:
"Although it's a little off-the-beaten path and there aren't many scenarios where it can be applied, as an additional 'secondary ability', it's always better to have it than not... What about the main ability derived from the rules of flesh and blood? What is the effect?"
In front of a kind "elder of the opposite sex", Leon was too embarrassed to explain clearly, so he could only explain vaguely:
"As for the main ability... it's the same as what you said, it belongs to the flesh and blood strengthening type, which can make some organs more sensitive..."
"Be more specific."
Director Jinniu frowned upon hearing this, and then said earnestly:
“Leon, not everyone is like you. You can get information about anomalies by just touching them. If you want to be an anomaly craftsman in the future and create anomalies for others, remember to describe them as accurately as possible... What organ does this thing strengthen?”
"Egg... and only the one on the left..."
Eggs? What eggs?
Director Taurus didn't quite understand what Leon meant at first, and wanted to ask more questions. But when he saw that he was hesitant, he immediately understood the specific meaning of this "egg", and the kind smile froze on his face.
"Just...that?"
"That's it..."
"..."
"..."
The old man and the young man looked at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, it was Director Jinniu who broke the silence. He turned his head away with a slightly reluctant look and said with a strange expression:
"It's... okay. Although the result is... a little too unique, I watched you perform it, and it is indeed the Taurus Secret Technique.
Hmm... so you have a good talent in this secret art. Even if you can't get the recognition of the Taurus Palace in the future, you should be able to become a top blacksmith.
Come on! It’s time for us, the older generation, to slowly step down. The future of the Cleanup Bureau depends on you, the young people.”
"Thank you for your kindness. I will definitely work hard."
……
After leaving the seat of the Taurus director with the bird egg and returning to the seat of his own director, the red-haired director, who had already revised the performance stele, asked curiously:
"Leon, what reward did His Excellency Taurus give you?"
"Even though I was not selected by Xinggong, they made an exception and taught me the complete version of the Taurus Secret Technique."
Since he didn’t bring her along when he asked Director Taurus for a drink, Leon felt a little uneasy and tried to change the subject:
"Commander, compared to my reward, how is Aquarius doing? Did he find the hair I secretly put on him?"
"Not found yet."
After hearing what Leon said, the red-haired chief couldn’t help but look at him with appreciation, and then replied softly:
“Although the distance in space was too far and I lost control of the hair, I could still vaguely feel that it was moving towards the direction of the Korok Kingdom.
Once the bureau has completed its own investigation and decided who should hunt down Aquarius, the hair you secretly placed there will surely give him a big surprise."
That would be great!
Lyon couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
In the eyes of Aquarius, I used to be just an insignificant little character, but after a verbal debate, when the scales of truth were almost drained dry, I must have registered in Aquarius's heart. The sooner the Aquarius director is caught, the safer my family will be.
"That's right, Leon."
Just as Leon was trying to recall the original scene and wondering if there was any way to make Director Aquarius finish off quickly, the red-haired director seemed to remember something and said:
“The sun is about to set. You, Jerry, and Prince Joshua should be sent back to the capital the moment the sun sets.
I want to finish the case here, it will take another two or three days. Although Emma has cleared the suspicion, it will take another day or two for her to return. Tomorrow, only you and Jerry will be in the bureau..."
“I understand, Chief.” After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon couldn’t help but look serious and nodded in promise:
"I will definitely cooperate with Senior Jerry and try my best to maintain the situation in the bureau and ensure that there will be no trouble before you come back."
"Um... it's great that you have this determination, but that's not what I want to say..."
In the face of Leon's somewhat stunned expression, the red-haired director said a little embarrassedly:
"Many of the newspapers and magazines I subscribe to are paid every two weeks, and tomorrow is the final renewal period, so...can you go to the post office opposite the Sun and help me fill out the subscription form?"
"it is good……"
Overwhelmed by this down-to-earth request, Leon, the great hero who had just foiled Director Aquarius's plot and successfully protected the world, nodded speechlessly and agreed to run errands for his director.
After a while, as the sun set, the Cleanup Bureau headquarters turned into the dark side of the world. Without the support of sunlight, the figures of Leon and the other two twisted slightly, and then turned into countless tiny points of light, disappearing from the Cleanup Bureau headquarters.
At the same time, in the secret room of the royal palace where the [Tongwen Slate] was stored, three people who had disappeared for most of the day reappeared and fell headfirst onto the wool carpet.
……
"Finally home……"
After sighing sincerely, Jerry, who had the best physical fitness, stood up first, then helped Leon, who was still dizzy, up, and gave him a thumbs up.
“That’s amazing, Leon. This time, not only did you deliver the key evidence and force Director Aquarius to accept memory reading, but you were also able to escape unscathed after being targeted by him!
To be honest, I have a feeling that you will become a big shot in the future. Maybe in my lifetime, I can even see you sitting on the board of directors!"
"Ugh... just luck..."
After closing his eyes for a while and getting rid of the feeling of imbalance, Leon shook his head and said:
"It was your [Master of Luck] who actually found the key evidence. I just caught Prince Joshua who came back from the future.
As for escaping unscathed from Aquarius, that was pure luck. If I had been a little worse, I would have been crushed to ashes by him... What's the matter with that idiot prince? Why didn't I listen to him?"
"Let me see……"
After hearing Leon's question, Senior Jerry let go of Leon who had already stood firmly, and looked at the Freckled Prince on the carpet. He found that although everything was normal with him, his eyes seemed unusually depressed, as if he had suffered some unspeakable major blow.
Am I really a waste?
When Leon was explaining the situation to the director, he did not hide it from the Freckles Prince. Although Joshua did not fully understand what had happened at this time and had no idea which palace or god was involved, he had roughly understood it.
The things in his dreams were all another future that actually happened. After losing almost everything, the clown-like self in the future was lured by the Aquarius director of the Cleanup Bureau. He used that door to go back to the past, created a rebel party and tried to change the future, but ended up becoming a tool controlled by the Aquarius director and was played around by him.
The villain next to him who repeatedly punched and kicked him was entrusted by his sister Veronica. He not only captured his future self and restored everyone's erased memories, but also successfully thwarted the conspiracy of the Aquarius director. He can be said to be the nemesis of both of himself.
What's even worse is that he seems to be his nominal brother-in-law, and he may even marry that woman Veronica in the future and truly become a member of the royal family...
Oh shit! Why?
After sitting up from the ground, the Freckled Prince struggled out of his doubts about his own abilities, glared at Leon and said:
"You should... uh..."
Seeing Leon's right hand slightly bouncing, Joshua, who already knew that this was the start of a big fight, almost instinctively held back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth, and pushed his body back with his hands, and said fiercely without much momentum:
"The Cleanup Bureau has an agreement with each kingdom that members are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, so your proposal to Veronica is invalid! If I complain a few more times, they will definitely stop you!"
"..."
I have made a lot of progress and have actually learned to follow my heart.
After pondering the Freckles Prince's words, Leon realized that although his tone was not polite, it was not to the point where he should hit him. He couldn't help but sigh in regret, too lazy to continue paying attention to him, and turned around to leave the secret room.
However, at this moment, the freckled prince behind him suddenly spoke:
"Hey! Would you consider working with me?"
???
My goodness, is this something Joshua could say? Did he change people in such a short time?
……
You need to be calm when doing things, be rational when making judgments, try to win over capable people, make exchanges of interests based on what is most important to each person, and even deal with enemies when necessary...
Seeing Leon turning around in surprise, the freckled prince, who had grown a lot after the incident, recalled the teachings he had disdained in the past, suppressed his past "grudges" and calmly promised:
"The reason you turned to Veronica was either for power, wealth, or beauty. I can give you all of these, or even more than her!
And compared to Veronica, I have an advantage that she definitely doesn't have... I know what happened in the future!"
Seeing that Leon did not leave but looked at him in surprise, Joshua felt that he was dominating the conversation for the first time. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and revealed a confident smile.
I can!
Even if I was just an incompetent and arrogant clown in the original future, nothing has happened yet! With the memory of the future, as long as I work hard from now on, I will definitely be able to change it!
As for the guy in front of him, apart from his background in the Cleanup Bureau, he is just a hollow duke who got lucky.
In the past, I just wanted to kick him away, which would of course make him bite me hard, but as long as I threw a few greasy bones, he would wag his tail at me like a...
"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."
Looking at the confident freckled prince in front of him, Leon couldn't help but smile kindly. Then he took out a pen and paper from his small mirror and handed it to him, saying with a smile:
"Come on! Write down everything you know about the future! Especially the information about the Kingdom of Korok, don't leave out a single one!
For example, what mineral information did the sniffers of the Korok Kingdom have? Why and when did they invade the kingdom? And what did the Aquarius Director of the Cleanup Bureau do in the future? Write down as much of this key intelligence as you know, and don't leave out a single one!"
"you?!!!"
"What are you?"
After checking Joshua's soul and confirming that there was no replacement, Leon's face immediately turned serious. Under the shocked and angry gaze of the Freckled Prince, he first pointed at the paper and pen in his hand, and then shook his right hand.
"Either write that or get hit by this, your choice!"
