Me! Cleaner!

Chapter 726 The whole story and right and wrong

Uncle grandpa?

After hearing the conversation on the other side of the pillar, Leon, who wanted to leave quietly, suddenly couldn't help but froze.

Remember that when she was backstage, the female cleaner once mentioned her uncle's identity, so the person on the other side of her "phone" was the current director of the Aquarius Branch?

"Haha, come back when you feel homesick~"

Not knowing that someone was "eavesdropping" on the side, looking at the unhappy grandniece across from the celestial mirror, Director Balto of the Aquarius Branch smiled and comforted him with a gentle expression:

"You are not originally from 'over there'. Although you have the title of princess, you have spent more time here than in the palace. You have basically never been exposed to any government affairs. It will be very difficult to handle those things poorly." normal."

After hearing the comfort from her uncle and grandfather, the frustrated female cleaner finally felt a little better.

However, it is a pity that when she thought of what she had seen before hiding, Lyon standing next to the smiling Queen Veronica and "having a pleasant conversation" with the envoys from various countries, the female cleaner couldn't help but whispered with envy:

"But he hasn't had much contact with government affairs, but he can do a good job..."

he?

Director Aquarius on the other side of the small mirror was slightly startled, and then asked curiously:

"Who is 'him' you are talking about? The future Aquarius director?"

"Yes, that's him."

After nodding slightly, the female cleaner sniffed and said with some frustration:

"Lyon is about the same age as me, and I haven't heard of any government affairs, but he does a very good job, much better than me.

Just now I was scolded by a group of envoys... It seemed that they were not scolding, but they were yelling at me very loudly, but Lyon was very nice. The envoys there seemed to like him very much, and they were all surrounding him, and even looked at me. He smiled very kindly, and everyone praised him.

Woohoo... I wish I could be like him. "

“…”

After hearing the envious hum of the female cleaner, Leon, who stayed curiously for a while because he heard her mention his name, suddenly couldn't help but scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.

Although the envoys here are indeed praising me and seem to be in harmony, the situation here is actually different from what you imagined.

Those envoys praised me repeatedly because they wanted something from Veronica. In the face of such huge interests, even if I farted in public, someone would probably analyze the rhyme and rhythm and come up with a fart that would shock the world. people's evaluation.

Rather than saying that they are satisfied with my "performance", it is better to say that they regard me as a breakthrough, hoping to gain favor with me and strive to get an extra piece of cake when they share the inheritance of the Kingdom of Korok.

"Really? Then he is really powerful."

Not knowing the actual situation at the banquet, he got the wrong information from the female cleaner's one-sided statement. Director Aquarius on the other side of the small mirror couldn't help but say with admiration:

"I have read the investigation records of the future Aquarius director, and I remember that four months ago, he was just an ordinary person living in poverty, and had no contact with government affairs or anything like that.

Unexpectedly, after just a few months of training, he not only gained strength comparable to that of a true god, but could even handle diplomatic situations with ease... Maybe there really is such a genius who is born with knowledge in this world! "

“…”

Stop boasting, stop boasting, things are not what you think. If you keep boasting, I really won’t be able to handle it.

…

"Uncle grandpa!"

When Leon felt extremely ashamed, the female cleaner on the other side of the pillar couldn't help it, and complained tearfully:

"Shouldn't you be comforting me now, saying that I'm just a little younger and can be as powerful as Leon in the future? You... wuwu..."

"Ah haha, sorry sorry."

Looking at his grandniece with a pouty mouth, Director Aquarius in the mirror couldn't help but smile and apologize, and then comforted him with a gentle voice:

"Meili, there aren't that many all-around geniuses in this world, and there is probably only one person as powerful as him. You don't actually need to compete with him in everything. Just be yourself and you're pretty good. "

"I...I'm just a little unwilling..."

When the female cleaner heard this, she shuddered and lay on the table holding a small mirror, muttering in a low voice with a hint of resentment:

"I'm about the same age as him. We were both Level 3 cleaners before. Our talents don't seem to be much different. At least we were selected from the Fifth House. In the future... we should both become directors, but he seems to be better than me at everything." Some…"

"Oh, actually it's not much different!"

When he heard this, Director Aquarius in the mirror waved his hand and said:

"He is just a little more powerful than you, the tasks he does are a little more difficult, he has killed more true gods, his personality is a little more mature, his government skills are a little more sophisticated, his talent for secret arts is a little higher, and his future achievements will be stronger. Well...well...in short, it's just a little bit different."

Looking at his great-niece whose eye circles were red again in the mirror, Director Aquarius hurriedly stopped taking inventory and began to console him:

"You may be quite different, but not everything here is meaningful. After all, your identity is as a cleaner. Whether you are good at handling government affairs or suitable for dealing with people is a trivial matter to you.

The most important thing to you is whether you can stand in front of all mankind when danger strikes, protect our race from wind and rain, and ensure the stable continuation of the entire human race. "

When he said this, the blue-haired old man in the mirror hesitated for a moment, then looked at his grandniece who had a dazed look in his eyes, and said warmly:

"Meili, your 'battlefield' is not at the banquet, let alone the negotiation table or the conference room. Just like your mother, you should be at the forefront of the human race."

Is it the same as my mother...

After muttering twice in her heart, the female cleaner opened her mouth slightly, then pursed her lips again, and said in an inaudible voice:

"But my mother ended up..."

"Meili, although your mother didn't come back, her departure also brought more people back alive. Her sacrifice was worth it."

Director Aquarius in the mirror sighed and said with a somewhat lonely expression:

"I know that you and Harvey have always been a little resentful about our decision. Harvey has not said a word to me for seven or eight years, but Melly, many things in this world are always Someone has to do it.

In addition, you are not the only ones who have lost your family. The future Aquarius director, like you, also lost his parents when he was very young.

And at least you still have me and your father to take care of you. He is not even qualified to grieve. He immediately has to work hard to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. The reason why he even joined the liquidation bureau is because his sister is critically ill and he has to volunteer himself... "

"What?"

After hearing about Leon's past life from her uncle and grandfather, the female cleaner couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said with a sigh on her face:

"Leon...is he actually having such a hard life? He usually seems quite happy!"

"Real pain will never be talked about."

The blue-haired old man in the mirror sighed.

"In short, the reason why he is more mature than you is because he has to be mature. Although you also have some bad experiences, you still have the power to be naive and even willful. If you let him choose, compared to the mature and willful people you envy, Talent, I’m afraid he wants a complete family... By the way.”

When he said this, Director Aquarius seemed to have remembered something, and asked with a rather serious expression:

"Meili, you just need to know what I just told you. Don't tell others casually, let alone mention it in front of the future Aquarius director."

"I don't know how." The female cleaner shook her head when she heard this, and then said sympathetically:

"Lyon must have had a hard time getting rid of the pain. If I mention this in front of him, he will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"It's more than uncomfortable..."

Director Aquarius heard this and said helplessly:

"I don't want you to mention this because the cause of his parents' death... it is written in the investigation report that his parents were both mechanics and died in the war six years ago."

The war six years ago?

After hearing Director Aquarius' words, the female cleaner couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

"Six years ago? That wasn't..."

"It was the last war that your father personally directed when he could still get out of bed."

“…”

"So strictly speaking, the reason why he lost his parents has a lot to do with what your father did."

Looking at the female cleaner who suddenly fell silent and her expression became extremely complicated, Director Aquarius in the mirror sighed again and said in a warm voice:

"Meili, you don't need to have any psychological burden. Your father is not a bad person, especially for the entire Northern Kingdom. He may be the best king in the past three hundred years.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

However, like your brother Harvey, his kindness is only meaningful to the citizens of the Northern Kingdom. In the eyes of the citizens of other countries, your father is the most ambitious and ruthless king in the Northern Kingdom. "

The female cleaner couldn't help but clench her palms when she heard this, then bit her lip and asked:

"Then my father... is he right or wrong?"

"It's hard to say."

The blue-haired old man in the mirror shook his head, and then asked:

"Meili, what do you think is right? What do you think is wrong?"

"I…"

After thinking for a while, the female cleaner said with a slightly depressed expression:

"The war six years ago was an invasion of others, and many people died on both sides, including Leon's parents, so... so my father..."

"You think something is wrong with your father?"

"Um…"

"Then do you know? In the war six years ago, although he was the aggressive party, before that, the entire Northern Kingdom had been suffering from disguised extortion."

After recalling the original situation, Director Aquarius said:

"Before your father fought that war, the other side used the road passes and ice-free ports to get coal and grains and vegetables from the North every few years. These are all vital things to the Northern Kingdom.

I remember the most outrageous year. Even the price of coal in Rehe City increased nearly twenty times. Many tribes, large and small, froze to death and starved to death. Do you still think that battle should not be fought? "

"I…"

"In your father's words, the security of any country cannot be based on the insecurity of another country. As the king of the Northern Kingdom, faced with such a good opportunity, he must serve his country no matter what. Solve this serious problem."

After paraphrasing the words of the female cleaner’s father, the blue-haired old man in the mirror continued:

"At that time, your father became ill from overwork and was so sick that he could hardly eat anything. As an heir of the gluttony bloodline, you should be able to understand what this means to you.

Although your father did not die on the battlefield that time, he took the initiative to fight in person when he needed rest most, which was almost equivalent to being prepared to die on the border.

Even his lingering in the hospital bed later was inseparable from the war six years ago. In order to prevent the Northern Kingdom from being choked by others, he almost gave up his life. "

After hearing what happened six years ago, the panicked female cleaner couldn't help but murmured:

"Then...it wasn't father who was at fault? He was also forced to have no choice but the one who was really at fault was the one who stuck our necks?"

"As I said, it's really hard to say who was right and who was wrong about the war six years ago."

Director Aquarius shook his head and said:

"Your father's goal was only the pass and the ice-free port, but the war situation continued to escalate, and the tribes that had benefited from it also increased their investment, and in the end they almost destroyed the opponent's two counties.

And have you ever thought about it? Why would the other side take the risk of war and repeatedly restrict the supplies of our northern kingdom? "

"Is it because of...interest?"

"Profits are only one aspect. The reason why the other party blocked the pass in the first place was more to sanction the atrocities committed by some border tribes."

The blue-haired old man in the mirror recalled:

"I remember that when the other side did not restrict the flow of passes and prevent normal shipping in winter, several large tribes on the border were dissatisfied with the prices of materials at that time and colluded with the privateers of the Kingdom of Saio several times to plunder on both land and sea. .

Strictly speaking, the Northern Kingdom is just a tribal alliance, with a much looser structure than the other side. The king has less control over the large tribes. The other side has warned several times to no avail, so naturally it can only block the passes and ports, especially in winter when trouble is easy. , and even strictly restricted the flow of various materials.

However, as the time and frequency of blockades increased, a stable chain of interests gradually formed. Driven by huge interests, this defensive blockade turned into conscious extraction and extortion, burying the hidden danger of war. "

"So...it was because of us in the first place?"

After listening to her uncle and grandfather's memories, the female cleaner, whose mind was a little overloaded, couldn't help but said with blank eyes:

"Are we wrong? But...but if we don't fight that battle, wouldn't we still freeze to death and starve to death?"

"Yeah, that's why I said, regarding the war six years ago, it's hard to say who was right and who was wrong.

Your father brazenly launched the war. He was indeed sorry for the victims of the war and for people like Leon's parents, but he was worthy of his own people. Even in a hundred years, the people of the Northern Kingdom will miss him. "

After opening his mouth and giving a summary, Director Aquarius couldn't help but smile as he looked at his great-niece who looked a little dazed in the mirror but seemed to understand something. Then he warmly ordered:

"The topic has gone a bit far. Haha, my uncle is getting older and always likes to talk about things from the past... Anyway, please remember not to mention his parents and six children in front of the future Aquarius director. About the war years ago.

Although the future Aquarius director has amazing talents, he never does things lightly and is ruthless. If he has a grudge, he might easily kill our Rehe City when he comes to go on a mission. Demolished. "

ah?

When she heard this, the female cleaner couldn't help being surprised and said in a panic:

"Leon...will he do that?"

"Haha, of course not."

Looking at his grandniece who was no longer sad in the mirror and swimming in the underground hot river, Director Aquarius couldn't help but grin.

"Don't worry, the future Aquarius director's mood is actually quite stable. As long as you don't mention these things in front of him, he is generally unlikely to deliberately retaliate...

Hmm...Meili, look to the left. Is there anyone behind the pillar next to you? Why did I see a corner of my clothes fluttering? "
