"That's what happened, Master Akino. On behalf of the security personnel who enforced the Great Exorcism this time, I deeply apologize. However, I personally suggest that it is better to reconcile today's incident privately. After all, the election of the Divine Witch is coming soon..."
The captain of the squad, the samurai, took the impulsive man who was caught by them and was bowing his head in silence at the moment to come to Hayasugaya Akino's carriage to apologize.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted sharply by the butler.
"What!? Private reconciliation? Impossible! Do you know how much damage this person has caused us? The second half of the show was directly interrupted, and he spread false remarks in a fair forum. This completely constitutes slander. !”
"Coupled with the severe mental impact on our Miss Akino, these... these require high compensation. How can you treat it as nothing just because you reconcile privately?"
The housekeeper pointed at the impulsive man angrily, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had suffered on the carriage.
Judging from his appearance, I am afraid that he will not give up without having to sue the other party for bankruptcy and pay huge compensation.
The squad leader, the samurai, endured his patience and was about to continue persuading him, but the impulsive man who had already withered and lowered his head after being educated by them, became angry and blood surged again because of the butler's words. He raised his head with red eyes, angry. road:
"How have I slandered you! Maybe you don't dare to drink on Yueyeon Island where Mr. Gong Si is, but on lower-level islands like our Baengnyeong Island, there are already several young people in the village because of drinking your drink. The drink turns out to be infected with a strange disease! No matter how you treat it, it can’t be cured!”
"And the factories you jointly built with foreign countries discharged all kinds of waste materials into the sea without any bottom line. More than half of the water resources we didn't have on Baengnyeong Island were polluted by you. It's completely... If it touches the skin even a little bit, the poisonous water will corrode and cause pain!!”
In response to such a hoarse accusation, the housekeeper did not change his expression. Instead, he snorted coldly:
"I asked where they came from. It turns out they are country people from a small place like Baengnyeong Island. You may have poor living hygiene. It's up to us to catch strange diseases. As for the factory...
"That was approved by the commission. Everything is in compliance with the rules. It's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Now you have done it one more crime. Not only did you slander us, Ms. Qiuno, but you also dared to doubt the credibility of the official. Dazu Sir, I suggest that for this kind of person, it is most appropriate to throw him directly into the Prison Mountain!"
"you you!"
The impulsive man is obviously not as articulate as the housekeeper who is familiar with the rules. Even if he is full of anger, it can only be expressed in the form of sadness and anger on his face in the end.
"Okay! This matter is over here. Stop messing around and talking crazy, and quickly apologize to Akino-sama." The captain of the team, the samurai, shouted to interrupt the double quarrel.
He frowned and kept giving signs to the impulsive man, but the housekeeper was the first to stop.
"I said, you are already bending the law for personal gain, right? You just protect..."
"Okay, Mr. Kawai, I think what the Great Master said makes sense. The election of the witches is the most solemn and grand ceremony in the Thousand Islands. Conflicts like this should be avoided as much as possible. I hope to bring smiles and happiness to everyone. , instead of like now..."
Finally, Sugatani Akino, who had been silent, spoke, and the girl shook her head at her aggressive butler.
"This...this...Miss Akino..."
"Thank you Akino-sama for your understanding! You are indeed the candidate most loved by the people of Thousand Islands this year. With your generous mind, you must be the number one witch."
The captain of the team, the samurai, rushed in front of the housekeeper and answered the question quickly. After seeing such a scene, the housekeeper just now felt unwilling to do so, but he did not say anything and just let it go by default.
"You! Why don't you apologize to Mr. Akino! If it weren't for Mr. Akino's kindness, you would have been imprisoned by now!" The captain of the samurai team gave the impulsive man a wild wink.
"It's okay. I believe this... Mr. from out of town must also have his own difficulties. I promise you that I will urge the factory to do product inspections and pay attention to environmental protection."
"Really...really!? Then you must keep your word! I...well, I do have a problem. I shouldn't have rushed to the stage directly...I also apologize to you, Akino... .grown ups..."
Most of the time, it is true that he should take soft things rather than hard words. Under Sugatani Akino's words with a sincere expression, the impulsive man looked at the beautiful and pure girl opposite him and felt shaken in his heart. In the end, he also apologized, but he never forgot to emphasize that Sugatani Akino, we must find out the problem.
"Then we won't disturb Akino-sama and close the team!"
Seeing that the situation was finally brought to an end, the squad leader Samurai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led his people back home from Sugaya Akino's carriage.
After all the followers of Da Zu left, the housekeeper expressed his dissatisfaction with the girl next to him.
"Miss Qiuno, we have already agreed that I can take care of these things. Why do you still..."
But the girl ignored her and just shook her hand in disgust. After pretending to shake hands with the impulsive man just now, she returned to the carriage.
The housekeeper looked at the girl's back as she disappeared into the carriage, and finally a gloomy expression appeared on her face.
"Hmph! You're just a stinky bitch. She doesn't really think she's a big deal if you're dragging her around. If it weren't for...forget it, I still have to rely on her to make money now. Later...hum..."
After the vicious words and expressions flashed away, the butler returned to his flattering attitude and followed him back into the carriage.
Tsk tsk...
Liao Zixuan, who secretly recorded the whole process using the video recording function in the game, couldn't help but smack his lips.
It seems that there is more hidden inside story than I imagined.
But what's more important now is...
"gone!"
Liao Zixuan mentioned Xia Qiuzi, who was still there with a burst of inspiration and was writing furiously, and then flew in the direction where the former captain of the team, the samurai, had gone.
Boom...
Boom!
"Didn't I tell you to go home quickly? Do you really want us to send you to jail?" A man's impatient voice came from inside the house.
The team leader samurai inside thought that the impulsive man he had finally persuaded to go back just now turned back.
But then, when he stood up and opened the door, what appeared in front of him was a man and a stranger whose gender could not be distinguished.
"You are..."
"No! Only insiders can enter here. How come you..." The squad leader, the samurai, was still very alert, and his first reaction was to grab the scabbard at his waist.
However, Liao Zixuan's subsequent words allowed the captain to temporarily let go of his tense nerves.
"You should be Kondo Naosuke's confidant, right? Take us to find him."
"you...!"
Gu Zhen
"We were sent by Lord Keisuke."
Liao Zixuan's first sentence directly exposed his identity, and his second sentence shocked the squad leader warrior.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly asked Liao Zixuan and the others to come into the house, quickly closed the door, and even locked it to prevent outsiders from breaking in.
After everything was done, he looked at Liao Zixuan again and asked seriously:
"What do you want from Naosuke-sama?"
"If my information is correct, you must have been secretly planning how to rescue Lord Keisuke from the Prison Mountain recently? This is why I asked Naosuke."
If it was said that the captain of the team, the warrior, was still doubtful about Liao Zixuan's identity, but after these words came out, he was completely convinced.
The rescue of Lord Keisuke is a secret among secrets. If the other party is really hostile, this revelation alone is enough to make them lose everything.
And the squad leader was smart enough not to ask any more questions, because he knew that the fewer people who knew about such a top-secret matter, the safer it would be, so he just said again:
"Is it something important?"
"It's very important."
"...Okay! Then you change into this and follow me!" After seeing Liao Zixuan's persistence, the team leader, the warrior, gritted his teeth and took out two sets of Da Zu's clothes from the room, indicating that they should wear them. outside.
After dressing up a little simply, Liao Zixuan and the two disguised themselves as civilian personnel in the Dazu Advocate, and followed the team leader Samurai. However, Kondo Naosuke's location was obviously some distance away, so taking advantage of the time on the road, Liao Zixuan pretended to be casual. He occasionally spoke to the warriors around him.
"Did you let the man who caused trouble in the wizard's performance just go home?"
"Yes..." The team leader sighed. He understood what Liao Zixuan meant by asking this.
"Even if what he said is true, there is really nothing we can do. After all, the commercial area is not under the control of our Dazu Advocate, and the Appraisal Administrative Office... Since you are Lord Keisuke's subordinate, you should also understand what is going on there. The situation."
After Liao Zixuan nodded pretendingly, he asked again:
"Then what do you think of that highly prestigious witch candidate?"
"To be honest, there have been many like them in the past. On the surface, they seem to be competing for the witches, but in reality, they have evolved into relying on the witch election to obtain official permission and through extremely high exposure. The machine sells various related products, and this has happened not once or twice.”
"The reason why Sanfeng followed and even the Palace Secretary adopted a tacit attitude is that, firstly, they did increase a lot of tax revenue for Thousand Islands, and secondly, they did not escape in the end and fulfilled their responsibilities as witches. Yuan Hai, it’s a pity... Hey, with this way of putting the good things first and chasing the weak, it’s no wonder that several generations of wizards have gone and never returned. I really don’t know what the situation is like under the Yuan Hai..."
"But it's strange to say that even though there are so many news that the witches will not come back, they still continue to run for the witches tirelessly. I can only say... the charm of money is indeed greater, right?"
The squad leader, the samurai, sighed for a while, but he made a point of interjecting at the end.
"But actually, I think that this year's Akino-sama may be different from other candidates in the past who were just for prestige and money. Not long after the witch election started, he was able to gain such amazing popularity. This is the case with those candidates in the past. Neither can be done.”
"So I believe that although Akino-sama may have a money-making side, she must also be sincere in her heart towards the fans who support her!"
"You don't know that her housekeeper has been unwilling to let go of the previous conflict. It's thanks to Miss Akino who came forward to speak. Otherwise, even if I wanted to protect the man, I would probably end up in jail with my family ruined. "
After getting to know the attitude of the middle and lower class people in Qiandao, they also approached Kondo Naosuke's office.
After the squad leader sent someone in to inform them, he gave Liao Zixuan and others a warrior salute, then quickly left and returned to his post.
Not long after...
"Lord Naosuke, please come in." A new soldier led Liao Zixuan and the two of them through several corridors carefully and covertly, and finally came to a very remote room.
Pushing the door open, the light in the room was a bit dim, but you could still see the familiar tall and tall figure of a young military attache sitting in the center.
Xia Qiuzi next to Liao Zixuan was a little nervous and quietly moved closer to him. After all, the aura brought by this person was much more oppressive visually than the previous team leader.
"Tell me, why did you come here to see me pretending to be Lord Jingfu's retainer?" Although the young military attache was sitting like a warrior with his back to them, his words were shocking as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xia Qiuzi suddenly panicked and became extremely nervous, but luckily Liao Zixuan beside her was already prepared. Maybe his casual lie could deceive the team leader below, but at Naosuke Kondo's level, It's definitely useless.
But for Liao Zixuan, if he could stand here and talk to the young military attache, his goal had been achieved.
"Before I explain, I wonder if Naosuke-sama could lend me the ruler on the table."
A ruler is an ink-colored square stone used to flatten paper in paperwork. Naosuke Kondo frowned at Liao Zixuan's unexpected words, obviously in deep confusion.
But since the other party said so, the young military attache turned around and nodded to Liao Zixuan, indicating that he could borrow it at will. He wanted to see what Liao Zixuan wanted to do.
But what happened next...
"grateful."
I saw Liao Zixuan smiling at the young military attache, then walked up to the stage, picked up the ruler, and bumped it slightly in his hand. It was worthy of the military attache's configuration. Both the texture and hardness were very high-end, giving people a Feeling of solidity.
Originally, the ruler was used to press paper. It required weight and was beautiful and convenient, so special stones with extremely high internal density had to be specially selected. And Naosuke Kondo's stone is probably the best among the top-grade ones. Even Liao Zixuan... Inside, I could vaguely feel the reaction of some "rock elements".
Any stone has rock attributes, but it is not necessarily a rock element. Stones with rock elements attached to them may be more clear to people who have "returned" under the God of Rock. They are comparable to smelted weapons.
very good.
After Liao Zixuan nodded with satisfaction, he began to hold both sides of the ruler with both hands, and then exerted a little force.
At first, neither Kondo Naosuke nor the accompanying Kasumi servant could figure out what Liao Zixuan was doing, or they could see his posture but not understand it.
But immediately afterwards, the crisp sound that sounded in the room seemed to press the pause button for the two of them.
Click...
Boom! Boom!
The hands on both sides, one on the left and the other on the right, took the two broken pieces of the ruler and put them back on the table. Then Liao Zixuan faced the stunned young military attaché and spoke again:
"Now, Naosuke-sama, you should believe that I have no ill intentions, right? Can we sit down and have a good talk about...the surprise attack on the Baeryeong Island stronghold?"
