But how could such an armed vessel not have a rescue boat?

Could Ye Jianying guarantee that no one else on board survived the difficult journey?

If Dietfried returns to Leiden alive, he will immediately become a wanted criminal.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two parties was ultimately achieved.

They check and balance each other, and neither side can figure out the other's hand.

They lied to each other.

Deceit and treachery.

Simply put, that's it.

However, the two sides have different positions.

Lu Ye is a little white rabbit who wants to protect himself and the girl from being eaten.

The colonel, on the other hand, is the big bad wolf who wants to kidnap the girl.

The big bad wolf has achieved his goal, and the little white rabbit can accept the result.

That means that nothing happened to him and the girl.

“It’s true,” Lu Ye replied.

The colonel's expression was rather grim.

“What about the antidote?” Dietfried asked.

"The antidote is a blue pill. Once you take it seven times, the poison will be neutralized. But don't try to take all seven at once; your body won't be able to handle it."

Lu Ye lied without blushing at all.

—Poison doesn't actually exist.

Although this old fox in front of me spouted nonsense about freedom.

But when you're in another place... no, another world, you can't be too careful.

"So your answer is..." the colonel said.

"Of course I agree. I'll leave here later, but I need to take care of this first."

Lu Ye pointed to the collar around her neck.

"Can you find a way to open it for me?"

“I’m afraid not,” Dietfried said after examining it carefully. “This appears to be a high-grade alloy that was popular twenty years ago.”

"High-grade alloy?"

"It's made from a rare metal mixed with other materials. It's very strong, but it's not common now. You could probably open it, but it would leave a very unsightly scar on your neck. Maybe a skilled locksmith could help."

"Then I'll go find a locksmith... Oh, by the way, can I ask you one last question?"

"You said."

"Will you continue with that plan?"

"Of course, this is for the 'country'..."

"Therefore, it is worth it to sacrifice as many people as possible for this."

Lu Ye did not speak.

He seemed to see flames and blood in the old man's eyes, as if they were about to burn everything to ashes.

A soft sigh came from the bottom of my heart.

If one is willing to disregard everything, even abandon the process, for a certain result.

That kind of person must be the greatest enemy.

Lu Ye thought he had escaped the crisis.

But undercurrents are still surging.

The silent girl noticed the old man's expression.

She followed the colonel's gaze and discovered a fact that even Lu Ye hadn't noticed.

From beginning to end.

The old man's gaze wasn't fixed on Lu Ye, but rather on the worn-out collar.

What was revealed deep within those murky eyes was a disgust that rose like dust.

Chapter 69 The Locksmith

Four days have passed.

Life was as bland as water.

Even though the soldiers in front were fighting to the death, the ground beneath their feet remained unstained by blood.

Lu Ye stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding an opened letter in her hand.

After reading the contents, he threw the letter into the fireplace.

It is now late autumn, and the weather is getting colder.

As a VIP guest of the hotel, Lu Ye naturally enjoyed VIP treatment.

I only mentioned it briefly the day before yesterday that "it's been a bit cold at night lately," and the fireplace was working the next day.

The firewood crackled and popped intermittently, the flames engulfing the letter in ashes.

After lunch, Lu Ye leisurely nestled in the sofa in front of the fireplace, while Violet lay down next to him for a nap.

The colonel's promise was true.

He gave Lu Ye a sum of money as payment, and the two never contacted each other again after that.

The two purposes are inherently different.

Lu Ye was searching for fragments of the Celestial Spirits.

The colonel, on the other hand, acted for the sake of the "nation".

Now that there are no more mutual interests involved, the two sides naturally parted ways.

The thought of having to find a way to get his hands on the fragments of Verdon made Lu Ye sigh.

That's natural.

Although Leiden's defeat was inevitable, the new weapons developed using Violet's data will likely be deployed to the battlefield soon.

This would stretch the battle lines out, but Lu Ye couldn't wait that long.

With that in mind, he opened the panel.

The level has increased by one level to LV4, but the improvement in various stats is still slight.

But none of that matters; what matters is the bottom column.

[World Rewind Progress: 75%]

The progress bar has increased by five percent.

That means I've already completed three-quarters of it.

Keep opening the shop panel, because today is a pleasant refresh time.

【1. Functional Replication x2】(2000 points)

(Note: You can replace your own physical strength with the physical strength of the target.)

(Warning: This is a hint. There is a limit to the number of functions that can be replaced.)

(Duration: 10 minutes)

[2. One anime cardboard box with an Idol Girl drawn on it] (500 points)

(Note: Going inside will bring unexpected good things, but you can only go in and out twice before it will be ruined.)

【3. Protoss Detector x1】(1000 points)

(Note: This function detects the approximate location of Protoss fragments in the current world, centered on the user. It cannot be used on the day of purchase as it is in the preparation phase.)

【4. Upgrade storage space once】(1000 points)

I have 3500 points and a universal potion on hand.

Although you can't buy everything, the good thing is that you can choose to carry over one item to the next store visit.

Lu Ye thought for a moment and bought items number 1, 2, and 3.

As for why the Protoss Detection Device was chosen—

Although the instructions don't specify the detection capability, it's better than nothing.

Moreover, the current storage space is sufficient.

It's perfectly fine to hide some small items like pistols and daggers.

Even an arrow can be barely inserted if it is bent slightly.

A late autumn afternoon.

A light drizzle was falling outside, but the warmth emanating from the fireplace made one drowsy.

Although Lu Ye really wanted to rest for a while in the afternoon.

But before going to Versailles, the collar around one's neck must be removed.

Lu Ye had previously tried to get Violet to use brute force, but it didn't seem to work.

It wasn't that she wasn't strong enough, but the collar fit her neck so snugly that she couldn't insert her fingers at all.

If it's damaged from the outside, you could easily injure your neck.

So Lu Ye decided to go find a locksmith.

Although made of hard material, it can be easily opened with a small key.
