"Eh?"

Just when Leon was shocked by the difference between a bird egg and a bird "egg," Taurus Director, who saw him rubbing around in the air, not only completed the processing of materials but even directly created an anomalous object, couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise.

Although the technique was rough and the operation process of processing materials was unbearable, the general direction was correct. Leon was not high-minded and low-handed, but had really entered the door.

And what was even more outrageous was that he entered the door, and it seemed that it was not just the anomalous forging secret art of the Taurus lineage. The technique when selecting rules in the end clearly carried the taste of the "anomalous creation" of the Aquarius lineage.

Without any practice in the past, just relying on some scattered bystander memories, he self-taught two secret arts quickly, and successfully created an anomalous object on the first attempt...

Could it be... this child is not high-minded and low-handed, but has enough confidence in his own ability, and is even a super genius in secret arts like the defected Aquarius Director?

With expectation, she beckoned and took the bird egg that had become an anomalous object. After carefully checking the specific color, the smile on Taurus Director's face became even stronger.

"Not bad, I underestimated you."

Looking at the newborn anomalous object in her hand, whose technique was rough, but whose internal rule distribution was balanced and operation was smooth, without any obvious errors, Taurus Director, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but praise:

"I originally thought that since you had never been in contact with secret arts before, it would be good to be able to successfully complete the processing of materials. I didn't expect you to directly make a complete anomalous object!"

"Let me see... hmm... this feeling, the cost of use is suppressed very low, it should belong to the most basic physical strength consumption type, but it is also the most stable type for novices. It is a quite wise choice."

"As for the ability, flesh rules as the main, demon rules as the auxiliary. It seems to be a dual-ability anomalous object, and the release process is quite hidden... Not bad! Really very good!"

Relying on her familiarity with anomalous objects, Taurus Director just analyzed 【Egg of Sharpness】 roughly after holding it in her hand.

After completing the inspection and handing it back to Leon, the kind-hearted old lady smiled and asked happily:

"I won't guess the rest. You tell me directly, what are the two abilities of this thing?"

"Uh..."

After hesitating slightly, Leon answered with a drifting expression:

"The first ability is fallen attribute, which can make a person's temperament become evil and look more like a demon."

"I see..."

Taurus Director pondered for a while and nodded:

"Although it is a bit off-beat and there are not many scenarios that can be applied, as an attached 'secondary ability,' having it is always better than not... What about the main ability derived from flesh rules? What is the effect?"

In front of a kind "opposite-sex elder," Leon really felt embarrassed to explain clearly, so he had to explain vaguely:

"For the main ability... it is the same as what you said, it belongs to the flesh enhancement type, which can make some organs become more sensitive..."

"Tell me more specifically."

Taurus Director frowned upon hearing this, and then exhorted earnestly:

"Leon, not everyone is like you, who can obtain the intelligence of anomalous objects by touching. If you are going to serve as an anomalous object craftsman for others in the future, remember that the description must be as accurate as possible... What organ does this thing strengthen?"

"Egg... and only the one on the left..."

Egg? What egg?

Taurus Director didn't understand Leon's meaning at first. But seeing his hesitant appearance, she understood the specific meaning of this "egg," and the kind smile froze on her face.

"Just... that?"

"Just that..."

"..."

"..."

The old and the young were speechless for a long time. Finally, Taurus Director broke the silence, turned her head away with some unbearable sight, and said strangely:

"It... is also okay. Although the result... is a bit too original, but I watched when you operated, this is indeed the Taurus secret art."

"Hmm... so your talent in this secret art is still very good. Even if you don't get the recognition of the Taurus Star Palace in the future, you should be able to become a top-notch forging craftsman."

"Come on! We old people have reached the time to slowly step down. The future of the Bureau of Cleanup depends on you young people."

"Thank you for your love, I will definitely work hard."

After leaving Taurus Director's seat with the bird egg and returning to his own Director's seat, the Red-Haired Director, who had finished picking the performance slate, asked curiously:

"Leon, what reward did Taurus Pavilion give you?"

"In the case that I wasn't chosen by the Star Palace, she made an exception and taught me the complete version of the Taurus secret art."

Because he didn't bring her when he "wanted wine" from Taurus Director, Leon, who felt a bit guilty, hurriedly tried to change the subject:

"Director, compared to my reward, how is Aquarius? Did he discover the hair I secretly put on him?"

"Not yet."

After hearing Leon's words, the Red-Haired Director looked at him appreciatively, then answered softly:

"Although the distance in space is too far, causing me to lose control of that hair, I can still vaguely feel that it is moving toward the Kroke Kingdom."

"After the Bureau completes the self-inspection and decides who should pursue Aquarius, the hair you secretly put on him will definitely give him a big surprise."

That would be great!

Leon couldn't help but feel happy in his heart upon hearing this.

In the past, he could only be counted as a small character who didn't matter in Aquarius's eyes, but after a mouth-cannon debate and being almost drained by the Scales of Truth, he must have been registered in Aquarius's heart. The sooner the Aquarius Director is caught, the safer his family will be.

"By the way, Leon."

Just when Leon was trying hard to recall the scene at that time, pondering whether there was any other way to make the Aquarius Director finish sooner, the Red-Haired Director seemed to remember something and exhorted:

"The sun is about to set. You, Jerry, and Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya should be sent back to the capital the moment the sun sets."

"I still have to deal with things here for two or three days. Although Emma has cleared the suspicion, it will take a day or two to go back. There will only be you and Jerry in the Bureau tomorrow..."

"I understand, Director."

After hearing the Red-Haired Director's words, Leon's expression became serious, and he nodded and promised:

"I will definitely cooperate with Senior Jerry well, try my best to maintain the situation in the Bureau, and ensure that nothing goes wrong before you come back."

"Uh... your determination is really great, but what I want to say is actually not this..."

In Leon's stunned expression, the Red-Haired Director said with some embarrassment:

"Many of the newspapers and magazines I subscribed to are paid every two weeks, and tomorrow happens to be the last renewal period, so... can you go to the post office opposite the Sun Newspaper and help me fill out the subscription form?"

"Okay..."

Defeated by this overly grounded request, Leon, the great hero who had just defeated the Aquarius Director's conspiracy and successfully protected the world, nodded speechlessly and agreed to run an errand for his own Director.

Shortly after, as the sun set, the Bureau of Cleanup's headquarters entered the dark side of the world. Leon's three people lacked the support of sunlight, their figures twisted slightly, and then turned into countless fine light spots, disappearing from the Bureau of Cleanup's headquarters.

At the same time, in the secret room of the palace where the 【Tongwen Slate】 was stored, three people who had disappeared for most of the day appeared again, falling head-to-toe on the wool carpet.

"Finally back..."

After sincerely sighing, Jerry, who had the best physical fitness, stood up first, then helped Leon, who was still dizzy, up, and gave him a thumbs up.

"Amazing, Leon. This time, not only did you send key evidence, forcing the Aquarius Director to accept memory reading, but even after being targeted by him, you were able to retreat unscathed!"

"Seriously, I have a premonition now that you will definitely be a big shot in the future. Maybe in my lifetime, I can even see you sitting on the director's seat!"

"Ugh... just luck..."

After closing his eyes and slowing down for a while, getting rid of that head-to-toe imbalance, Leon shook his head:

"The one who really caught the key evidence was your 【Stealing Luck Skill】, Senior. I just caught Prince Watching Watching Qiaoshuya who came back from the future."

"As for retreating unscathed in front of Aquarius, that is pure luck. If it were even a little bit off, I would have been smashed to ashes by him... Speaking of which, what's the situation with that idiot prince? Why hasn't he spoken?"

"Let me see..."

After hearing Leon's question, Senior Jerry let go of Leon who had stood firm, looked at the freckled prince on the carpet, and found that although everything was normal, his eyes looked extremely depressed, as if he had suffered some unspeakable major blow.

Could it be... am I really a waste?

Before, when Leon was telling the Director about the situation, he didn't deliberately hide it from the freckled prince. At this time, although Watching Watching Qiaoshuya hadn't fully understood what happened, he didn't understand the palace or the god at all, but he roughly heard about it.

The things in his dreams were another future that had actually happened. And the clown-like self in the future, after losing almost everything, was lured by the Aquarius Director of the Bureau of Cleanup and used that door to return to the past, creating rebels in an attempt to change the future, but ended up becoming a tool controlled by the Aquarius Director, played with in the palm of his hand.

And the villain next to him who had repeatedly punched and kicked him was entrusted by his sister Veronica, not only capturing his future self and restoring everyone's erased memories, but also successfully defeating the Aquarius Director's conspiracy, which could be called the nemesis of his two selves.

What's even more fatal is that he seems to be his nominal brother-in-law, and in the future, he might even marry that woman Veronica and truly become a member of the royal family...

Damn it! Why?

After sitting up from the ground with a thud, the freckled prince struggled out of his doubt about his own ability and glared at Leon:

"You damn... uh..."

Looking at Leon's right hand that flickered slightly, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who already knew that this was the starting style of a big slap, instinctively swallowed the curse that was about to blurt out, supported his body with both hands and rubbed back, and released harsh words with insufficient momentum:

"The Bureau of Cleanup has an agreement with various kingdoms not to allow members to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, so your marriage proposal to Veronica doesn't count! As long as I complain a few more times, they will definitely stop you!"

"..."

You've grown a lot, you've actually learned to be cowardly.

After pondering the freckled prince's words and finding that although the tone was not very polite, it hadn't reached the point where he should be beaten, Leon couldn't help but click his tongue with regret, didn't bother to continue paying attention to him, and turned around directly to prepare to leave the secret room.

However, at this moment, he heard the freckled prince behind him suddenly say:

"Hey! Do you want to consider cooperating with me?"???

Good guy, is this something Watching Watching Qiaoshuya can say? Could it be that he changed people in such a short time?

Do things calmly, make judgments rationally, try to win over capable people, make interest exchanges based on what everyone values most, and even deal with enemies when necessary...

Looking at Leon who turned around in surprise, the freckled prince, who had grown up a lot after the changes, recalled the teachings he had disdained in the past, forcibly suppressed the "grudges" of the past, and promised calmly:

"The reason you leaned toward Veronica is either for power, wealth, or beauty. I can give you all of these, and even give you more than she can!"

"And compared to Veronica, I have one advantage she absolutely doesn't have... I know what happened in the future!"

Looking at Leon who didn't leave but was examining himself in surprise, Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who felt for the first time that he was leading the conversation, couldn't help but curl his lips and reveal a confident smile.

I can do it!

Even if in the original future, I was just an incompetent and arrogant clown, but now everything hasn't happened yet! After having memories of the future, as long as I work hard from now on, I will definitely be able to change it!

As for this guy in front of me, excluding the background of the Bureau of Cleanup, he is just an empty shell duke who had dog shit luck.

In the past, I only thought about kicking him away, of course I would be bitten by him twice. But as long as I throw out a few bones stained with oil, he will wag his tail at me like a...

"If you didn't say it, I almost forgot."

Looking at the confident freckled prince in front of him, Leon couldn't help but reveal a kind smile, then took out paper and pen from his small mirror and handed it over, smiling:

"Come! Write down everything you know about the future! Especially the intelligence about the Kroke Kingdom, not a single one is allowed to be missed!"

"For example, what mineral data the Kroke Kingdom's sniffers have mastered; why they invaded the Kingdom, when they invaded the Kingdom, and what the Aquarius Director of the Bureau of Cleanup did in the future... Write down as much as you know about these key intelligence, and don't miss a single one!"

"You?!!!"

"What about you?"

After checking Watching Watching Qiaoshuya's soul and confirming that he hadn't changed people, Leon immediately straightened his face. In the freckled prince's angry and shocked gaze, he first pointed to the paper and pen in his hand, then shook his right hand.

"Either write that, or take this, choose for yourself!"
