Chapter 234: Future Doubts
Faced with the two options proposed by Leon, the Freckled Prince showed his toughness for once.

He did not choose to hand over the information directly, nor did he choose to take Leon's slap. Instead, he relied on his own courage and successfully found a third way...

First he was beaten up, and then he handed over the future information while crying.

What do you want to achieve?

Looking at Joshua, whose nose and tears were all mixed together but who was still covering his swollen cheek and glaring at him indignantly, Leon couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he had gone a little too far this time.

Although he had the title of prince and started to cause trouble everywhere, the Freckles Prince was actually younger than his sister Anna and didn't even have a beard. He was indeed still a half-grown child. Not only did he beat him with force, he even stole his "things", which was really immoral.

But this concerns the future of so many people in the kingdom, and may even concern the safety of the Watch Palace and even the safety of all mankind. This kind of important information must not be missed... Otherwise, the next time Joshua has an attack, I can bear with beating him less, and just consider it an advance payment for this time!

When the Freckled Prince began to copy with sobs, Senior Jerry had already returned to the bureau in advance. Leon, who had made the "advance payment" decision, took out the sheep's head and asked the Freckled Prince a few questions. After confirming that the information was true, he directly took out the [Infected Blood Belt] and wrapped it around his face to help the Freckled Prince reduce the swelling. Then he quickly left the palace and called a carriage to rush to the Cleanup Bureau.

……

So that's what happened...

After unfolding the future intelligence written down by Joshua in the carriage and quickly reading it, Leon finally understood why the Kingdom of the Future did not choose to cooperate with the Kingdom of Korok, but rejected the request to jointly develop "minerals", and was eventually attacked by the Kingdom of Korok.

Because the so-called "energy minerals" discovered by the sniffers of the Kingdom of Korok in the kingdom were not actually minerals, but dozens of underground lava rivers stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and eleven extinct volcanoes distributed in two counties of the kingdom!

The County of Lane, where he was "born", and the County of Merino, famous for its wool production, are both located on a special "hotspot" in the earth's crust. There is almost endless thermal energy underground. If the mining of these volcanoes is completed, it will be enough to meet more than 80% of the energy needs of the Kingdom of Korok.

But the problem is that the mining method proposed by the Korok Kingdom is so brutal that it is unimaginable. Not only does it require the re-excavation of these eleven extinct volcanoes, it even requires multiple active detonations!
If the kingdom really reached a cooperation with the Kingdom of Korok, not only would the residents of the two counties need to be relocated on a large scale, but the volcanic ash and smoke spewing out from the eleven volcanic eruptions would also move westward under the influence of the monsoon and spread across most of the kingdom.

Next, not only will Ryan County and Merino County become unsuitable for human habitation, but tens of thousands of large farms and ranches throughout the kingdom will be affected by the volcano, experiencing horrific production cuts or even total crop failures, causing large-scale famine that will last for years.

In addition, the crustal movement caused by the detonation and subsequent mining activities may also bring about intermittent earthquakes and large-scale ground collapse. Faced with consequences of this degree, no matter how much the Kingdom of Korok gives, the kingdom will never agree to it.

So... one side is determined to obtain these underground energy resources, while the other side cannot accept the consequences of mining in any way. With core interests conflicting, they naturally have no choice but to resort to force and communicate directly with their fists.

Although the population of the Korok Kingdom is very small, the strength of its fists is unmatched by any other kingdom. Once the two sides start "communicating", the situation is bound to be one-sided. The kingdom has almost no ability to fight back on a large-scale battlefield. After the princess, who was the most determined resistance faction, was killed, the kingdom almost completely collapsed and was on the verge of extinction.

After reading the news about the invasion of the Kingdom of Korok, Lyon's doubts about the future were somewhat resolved.

No wonder Middle-aged Joshua didn't run away at that time, but chose to bite the bullet and negotiate with me surrounded by the rebels, hoping to persuade me to attack the boarding tower and kill the sniffers of the Kingdom of Korok, because this is the most likely way he can think of to successfully avoid this future. And now it seems that I really have to go to the boarding tower. Even if I don't kill those sniffers of the Kingdom of Korok directly as Middle-aged Joshua said, I have to bring the Phoebe sisters who can modify memories to prevent the information of the "mineral deposits" from being sent back to the Kingdom of Korok, which will lead to subsequent invasion wars.

In addition...

Looking at what the Freckles Prince had recorded, that the sky was filled with thick smoke and the ground was covered with dust, the population of the entire kingdom had dropped by more than half, and nearly 60% of the people had a dark future with lung diseases, Leon's brows could not help but furrowed deeply.

Since this future really happened, it means that the Cleanup Bureau did not intervene. It really followed the agreement with the kingdoms and was only responsible for handling abnormal situations. It would never interfere in areas that did not involve abnormalities.

From what I saw with my own eyes today, each branch of the Cleanup Bureau acted independently, and when there was no large-scale action, they were almost in a state of disunity. This result is indeed very likely to occur.

Not to mention those branch directors who were deeply infected and gave people the feeling that they had begun to move beyond the category of "human beings", the few directors present at the scene were quite indifferent to the fact that Aquarius director had privately caused a large number of casualties.

The only Taurus director who might be in charge is about to be promoted next year. So when the Korok Kingdom invades, the only people who will pay attention to this matter are probably the Virgo Branch and the Gemini Branch.

Judging from the brain transplant surgery of Director Aquarius, the relationship between the Gemini Branch and the Kingdom of Korok seems to be "quite close", and it is unlikely that they will take action to stop it, so...

Where is the director? What is the director doing?
After pondering his chief's style of doing things, Leon's brows furrowed even deeper.

Although the director is not very reasonable and likes to tease people when he has nothing to drink and his brain goes offline when he is drunk, he is indeed a good person with a "kind side". Even if it is not easy for him to intervene directly when he sees these things, he will not really do nothing.

But in the future written by Joshua, there was almost no trace of the Virgo branch. Even the Aquarius director, who failed to replace the Taurus director, had shown up several times, but his own director seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, as if he had never appeared, and even the entire Virgo branch was out of touch.

According to my understanding of the director, this situation is absolutely impossible, so... in the future without me, will the kingdom encounter some extremely serious large-scale incident, causing heavy casualties in the entire Virgin Branch, or even...

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Just as Leon was holding the information written by the Freckles Prince and thinking about what went wrong, a rather rapid dog bark sounded in his ears.

Leon looked sideways in surprise and found that it was Jerry's beloved dog... and companion, Ms. Lisa. This... this adult golden retriever, was sticking her head out from the window of the carriage and stuffing a hastily written note into his hand.

'Come back quickly, something happened in the bureau!'
