It was almost ten o'clock in the morning when I returned to the clothing store.

After Merlot got a basket of bread, he went back to pack his things.

Because she found a new job - working as a handyman in a clothing store.

Naturally, this job was provided by the old woman. There happened to be only one person in the store, and Lu Ye wouldn't go here all day long.

After all, there are still fragments to worry about.

The [Star Spirit Detection Device] uses itself as the center and explores the position in a diffuse manner, but it is not sure how accurate it can be.

I originally wanted to use it after going to Verwin, but now my schedule is delayed and there is nothing I can do about it.

Behind the clothing store is the old woman's bedroom, where Violet rests.

Lu Ye opened the door and found that the girl was already awake.

"Button it up."

These were the first words I spoke to him.

"Well, I'm very happy. Do you want to go back to the hotel?"

Lu Ye stared at the girl sitting in front of the bed...

Judging from her appearance, she should be a woman.

Slightly messy hair, delicate jade-like face.

Although she was wearing a simple brown dress today, she couldn't hide her beautiful body curves.

"Okay." She said.

From a physical perspective, Violet has fully grown up.

But those clear yet innocent eyes still proved that she was still a little girl in mind.

After saying goodbye to the old woman, the two returned to the hotel.

There were not many guests in the hotel, and it was deserted.

However, Luye has the right to use that room for one year, so he doesn't have to worry about accommodation at all.

The two spent a quiet, slightly cold afternoon in front of the fireplace.

Lu Ye is reading the newspaper. This is an effective way to understand the outside world while staying at home.

Violet looked very energetic after getting enough sleep.

She was lying on the other side of the sofa reading a children's book. Because the room was very warm, she was only wearing a thin skirt that reached her thighs. Her feet were dangling up and down, and the boundary was between Lu Ye's thighs and chin.

Moreover, while Mr. Lu was concentrating on reading the newspaper, the girl's cute toes almost hit his mouth several times.

Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was so peaceful that it seemed like they could stay there forever until the sea withers away.

Suddenly, the waiter knocked on the door, breaking the peace.

"Sir, I have your letter."

The envelope was unsigned, but Lu Ye knew who sent it.

It’s been a month, maybe you’re urging me?

After the waiter left, Lu Ye took out the letter and felt numb after reading it.

Things started more than a month ago.

On the first night after arriving at Port Leyden, Luye sent a letter using the clone created from the fragments of the protoss.

The letter was sent to Verdon's palace.

It stands to reason that such letters of unknown origin would be screened out by palace staff and disposed of directly as garbage. After all, Verdong is a monarchy. In such a war period, a person with an unclear signature was sent to the palace.

There was no chance of opening the envelope inside.

So Lu Ye cleverly played a small trick.

According to his memory, he used his lifelong drawing skills to draw the No. 6 machine on the surface of the envelope, then went through a lot of work to change it into a powerful look, and also marked a line of small words next to it.

——"Leyden's new weapon."

This letter attracted attention immediately, and the content inside was also related to mobile armor.

For example, how deep is Layden's mastery of the "neural connection system"?

As proof, Lu Ye also "sold" the colonel's information, along with the information about the warship. Not only that, he also said in the letter that he had a candidate who was very compatible with the armor. If the price was right, he would

I am willing to come to Verdon for cooperation.

Probably because there were informants near Port Leyden, the Verdon side quickly confirmed the news about the colonel.

A week after sending the letter, Lu Ye received a reply.

The general idea is that the remuneration is easy to say, as long as you bring people to Verwinter, the cost of the trip is not a problem.

Lu Ye declined this request politely.

Although he was looking for fragments of the Star Spirit, he would not enter Verdon in this way.

Luye's original intention was to get in touch with the other party and trust himself.

Of course, he doesn't expect the other party to trust him completely from the beginning. This is impossible.

So every time he wrote in his reply, he would write information about Leiden's army, most importantly the mechas, such as what happened at the test site.

And all this is to deal with the colonel.

From the beginning to the end, Lu Ye never trusted the old man.

If he learns of his plan or what mission he is assigned to, Luye can use Verdon's power to suppress the colonel.

To put it bluntly, he voluntarily assumed the role of a so-called "spy".

It's a pity that the "cooperative relationship" between the two ended before things developed to that point.

But the letters from the Verdon side did not stop.

Within this month, Lu Ye received two letters, both about the "adaptive candidate."

However, Lu Ye always used various excuses and met with the colonel twice on the grounds of "not enough money". He continued to provide information and clearly marked the location of the colonel's office, even the room.

The layout is explained very clearly.

But Lu Ye cannot ignore the content of today's letter any longer.

The letter probably talked about two things.

The first thing was that because of the recent war on the front line, traffic was disrupted and it was impossible to get to Verwin through normal routes, so the other party proposed a way.

That is - meet directly.

Lu Ye was led to Verdon by his informant in Leydenport.

The meeting place has also been marked, and I think the opposite side must have prepared sufficient counter-encirclement and suppression measures.

But Lu Ye didn't plan to go. This was a decision made from the beginning.

No matter how good Violet is, what if there are too many enemies?

Lu Ye feels that he can't help much in terms of combat power for the time being, and Violet still has to take time to protect herself in the hail of bullets...

This is simply turning on the hard mode.

Ever since meeting the colonel on the island, Luye's memory has improved.

Violet's value to the army and mobile armor is priceless.

Even if Verdon's chances of robbing someone were not high, he couldn't take the risk.

Don't take even a little risk.

Lu Ye can lose, even if it costs his life.

But only that cute girl... he didn't dare to lose and couldn't afford to lose.

What really frightened Lu Ye was the second thing.

The Verwinter side seems to have gotten the information and is planning to attack the Kenny area in the near future.

The reason why Lu Ye felt terrified was because it was impossible.

Kenny is an area located about 20 kilometers east of Leiden. You can directly attack Leiden by climbing over the ridge of Kenny.

But it is separated from Leyden by a considerable swamp.

It was a natural barrier. The nearly ten kilometers of swamp completely blocked the enemy's advance, and even mechas could not move freely there.

Moreover, Leyden also set up a very severe defense line in that area.

From where is Verwin preparing to attack?!

Even if Luye went to tell people in Leiden's army about this now, no one would think it was true.

It's not that there's a lack of rigor, but that to them it's like someone telling you "Run, Spongebob defeated Jotaro Kujo and ate Patrick's brain" as a joke.
