The old woman chuckled.

"Yes, I'm getting on in years. Although I have a lot of complaints, I think it's better to vent them to that guy face to face."

On the way back, the early winter sun rose from the eastern hills, bringing a touch of warmth.

From here, you can see the sea off the port, where military ships are being moved.

"If it were possible to fight a war that we couldn't win, I really wish those big shots could spare a little bit of their military budget for me."

Melo complained.

Her thinking is reasonable: if you can't win anyway, why waste the money?

"But even if it's not used for fighting, those upper-class people will definitely pocket the money."

Lu Ye ruthlessly shattered her illusions.

"I know that! You don't need to remind me! Can't I even vent my frustration?"

"Fine! I want money too!"

Lu Ye immediately changed his tune, "Who doesn't love money?"

Listening to the two young people talking, the old woman in the carriage gently closed her eyes as if taking a nap.

A gentle breeze swept across the desolate cemetery, carrying the letter into the sky; the yellow paper danced in the wind.

I remember when I was little, I borrowed your new toy and broke it.

I think you'll hit me.

But you didn't.

Do you remember when we were young, I took you to the beach and you said it would rain, and it actually did?

I think you'll say, "I told you that."

But you didn't.

Do you remember that time I flirted with so many guys and made you jealous, and you actually did?

I think you will leave.

But you didn't.

Do you remember that time I threw up strawberry pie all over the car carpet?

I think you'll definitely beat me up.

But you didn't.

Do you remember that time I forgot to tell you that the dance was formal and you wore jeans to attend?

I think you'll dump me.

But you didn't.

Yes, there are so many things you haven't done, you've just tolerated me.

[Love Me]

Protect me

There are so many things I want to do for you, waiting for you to return from the battlefield.

But you didn't.

Chapter 76 Two Special Letters

I got back to the clothing store around 10 a.m.

After receiving a basket of bread, Melo went back to pack his things.

Because she found a new job—working as a general assistant in a clothing store.

The job was naturally provided by the old woman, as the shop happened to be short-handed, and Lu Ye wouldn't be coming here all the time.

After all, there are still fragments to worry about.

The Protoss Detection Device explores locations in a diffused pattern centered on itself, but its accuracy is uncertain.

I originally planned to use it after arriving in Versailles, but now that my schedule has been delayed, there's nothing I can do about it.

Inside the clothing store was the old woman's bedroom, where Violet rested.

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

"The buttons are on."

That was the first thing he said when we met.

"Hmm, congratulations! Shall we head 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, a face as delicate as jade.

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

“Okay,” she said.

From a physical perspective, Violet has fully grown into an adult.

But her clear and innocent eyes still proved that she was still a little girl at heart.

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

There weren't many guests left in the hotel; it was deserted.

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

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

Lu Ye is reading the newspaper; it's an effective way to stay informed about the outside world while staying at home.

Violet, having had plenty of sleep, looked very energetic.

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

Moreover, while Mr. Lu was engrossed in reading the newspaper, the girl's cute toes almost bumped into his mouth several times.

Neither of them spoke, yet the atmosphere was so peaceful, as if they could stay there forever, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

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

"Sir, there is a letter for you."

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

It's been a month already, they're probably urging me to hurry up, right?

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

The story begins more than a month ago.

On his very first night in Leiden Harbor, Lu Ye used a clone created from a Protoss fragment to send out a letter.

The letter was sent to the palace in Verdon.

Logically, such letters from unknown sources would be screened out by court staff and disposed of as garbage. After all, Verdun was a monarchy, and during times of war, an envelope sent to the palace by someone with an unclear signature would not even have a chance to be opened.

So Lu Ye cleverly played a little trick.

Following his memory, he used all his drawing skills to draw Unit 6 on the surface of the envelope, then added details to make it look imposing, and even added a line of small print next to it.

—"Leiden's new weapon."

The letter immediately attracted attention, and its contents were related to motor armor.

For example, how deep is Leiden's understanding 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 highly compatible with the armor and was willing to cooperate with Verdun if the price was right.

It seems there were informants in the vicinity of Port Leiden, and Verdon's side quickly confirmed the information about the colonel.

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

The gist is that the reward is negotiable; you just need to bring people to Versailles, and the cost of the trip is not a problem.

Lu Ye politely declined the request.

Although he was going to find Protoss fragments, he wouldn't enter Verdon in this way.

Lu Ye's original intention was to make contact with the other party and gain their trust.

Of course, he didn't expect the other party to completely trust him from the start; that was impossible.

Therefore, he always wrote about intelligence on Leiden's army in his replies, mainly about the mechs, such as what happened at the test site.

All of this was in order to deal with the colonel.

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

If he learns of his plans or what mission he has been assigned, Lu Ye can use Verdon's power to suppress the colonel.

To put it bluntly, they voluntarily took on the role of so-called "spies."

Unfortunately, their "cooperative relationship" ended before things reached that point.

But the letters from Verdon's side did not stop.

During this month, Lu Ye received two letters, both about the "suitable candidate".

However, Lu Ye kept making excuses and met with the colonel twice under the pretext of "not having enough money," continuing to provide information, clearly marking the location of the colonel's office, and even describing the layout of the room very clearly.

But Lu Ye can no longer ignore the contents of this letter.

The letter mentioned two things.

The first thing was that the recent war on the front lines had disrupted transportation, making it impossible to reach Versailles by normal means, so the other side proposed a solution.

That is—to meet in person.

Luye was led to Verdon by an informant in Leiden.
