I! Cleaner!

Faced with the two choices proposed by Leon, Prince Freckles was tough 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 to successfully find a third way...

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

What do you want?

Looking at Joshua, who was still holding his swollen cheeks and glaring at him indignantly, with snot and tears, Leon couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was a little too much this time.

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

But this is related to the future of so many people in the kingdom, and it may even be related to the safety of the Watch Palace, and even the safety of all mankind. This kind of important information must not be missed... Otherwise, next time Joshua gets sick again, I can bear to beat him less, just regard it as an advance payment this time!

When the freckled prince began to write down his thoughts with sobs, Senior Jerry had already returned to the bureau in advance. Leon, who had made the decision to "advance payment", 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 knew why the future kingdom did not choose to cooperate with the Korok Kingdom, but refused the request to jointly develop "minerals", and was eventually beaten by the Korok Kingdom.

Because the so-called "energy minerals" discovered by the sniffers of the Kingdom of Korok are 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 Ryan, where he was "born", and the County of Merino, famous for its abundant wool, are both located on a special "hot spot" in the earth's crust. There is almost endless heat 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 terrible thing is that the mining method proposed by the Kingdom of Korok is so rough that it is unimaginable. Not only do these eleven extinct volcanoes need to be dug up again, but they even need to be actively detonated many times!

If the kingdom really reaches a cooperation with the Kingdom of Korok, not only will the residents of the two counties need to be relocated on a large scale, but the volcanic ash and smoke from the eruption of the eleven volcanoes will also go all the way west under the influence of the monsoon and spread over 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 pastures throughout the kingdom will be affected by the volcano, with a terrifying reduction in production or even a total crop failure, causing a large-scale famine that will last for several years.

In addition, the crustal movement caused by the explosion and the subsequent mining activities may also bring intermittent earthquakes and large-scale ground collapse. Faced with such consequences, even if the Kingdom of Korok offers more, the kingdom will never agree.

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

Although the population of the Kingdom of Korok is extremely small, the hardness of its fists is unmatched by the kingdom. Once the two sides start "communication", 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, the most determined resistance faction, was killed, it was almost completely collapsed and on the verge of extinction.

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

No wonder middle-aged Joshua didn't run away at that time, but chose to bite the bullet and negotiate with himself surrounded by the rebels, hoping to persuade himself 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 he really has to go to the boarding tower. Even if he doesn't kill the sniffers of the Kingdom of Korok directly as middle-aged Joshua said, he has 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 the dark future recorded by the Freckles Prince, with thick smoke and floating dust everywhere, the entire kingdom's population has dropped by more than half, and nearly 60% of the people have lung diseases, Leon's brows can't help but twist deeply.

Since this future really happened, it means that the Cleanup Bureau did not intervene. It really follows the agreement with the various kingdoms and is only responsible for dealing with abnormal situations. It will never interfere in areas that do not involve abnormalities.

From what I saw with my own eyes today, the various branches of the Cleanup Bureau acted on their own, and were almost in a state of disarray when there was no large-scale action. This result is indeed very likely to occur.

Not to mention those branch directors who were deeply infected by the abnormality and gave people the feeling that they had begun to deviate from the category of "human", the few directors who were present were quite indifferent to the fact that Director Aquarius had caused a large number of casualties in private.

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

Judging from the brain transplant surgery of the Aquarius director, the relationship between the Gemini Branch and the Korok Kingdom 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 thinking about the style of his own director, Leon frowned even deeper.

Although the director is not very serious, he likes to tease people when he doesn't have wine to drink, and his brain will go offline directly after drinking too much, but he is indeed a good person with a "kind side". Even if it is not easy to intervene directly when seeing these things, he will not really do nothing.

But in the future Joshua wrote, 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 disappeared from the face of the earth, as if he had never appeared, and even the entire Virgo Branch had no news.

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

"Woof! Woof!"

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

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

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