Sir! Don't close the net!

"So I haven't gone to work yet," Li Yili smiled calmly, giving a thumbs-up with clear eyes.

Valkyrie's lips twitched. "Do you have to be so honest?"

“There’s nothing I can do, I’m a realist,” Li Yili shrugged, looked up at the sky and sighed, “If I showed up now… I’d probably get eggs thrown at me.”

“I think you’re a magical realist,” Valkyrie sighed and leaned against Li Yili’s shoulder, flipping through the land deeds in her hand. “You bought these lands directly, not just because you hate them for forcing them to become homeless, right?”

"You're worried about the Galar Horn and Bishop Azawi, aren't you?"

Li Yili tilted her head to the side and didn't say anything.

"Regardless of whether the Temple of Goweton can be restored, as long as the special nature of the Temple of Goweton is proven, the surrounding land will be seized by the Horn of Galar and Bishop Azawi. The ownership of the Temple of Goweton and the surrounding land will never belong to the residents of Goweton."

"If they really risked everything to buy that land and then got this result, they would most likely jump off a building in despair."

Valkyrie glanced at the land deed in her hand, tossed it aside without a second thought, and bent down under the sofa to pull out a bottle of wine and two glasses.

“Unfortunately, the buildings in Guoweiton are generally low, so even if they jump, they won’t die,” Li Yili grinned, picking up one of the glasses.

“You’re really kind,” Valkyrie stuck out her tongue, bent down and bit the cork. With a splash of her golden hair, the cork was pulled out with a pop.

“I just… don’t like seeing someone I know become the subject of gossip and jokes in the future,” Li Yili said, covering her glass and declining Valkyrie’s invitation to drink.

“I don’t care~” Valkyrie pursed her lips, slowly swirling the bottle in her hand, “As long as you guarantee me my seventy years of old age.”

"By the way, who picked up this land deed..."

"..."

"Ton ton ton—"

I'm drunk!

After downing the flammable liquor in one gulp, Valkyrie raised her hands above her head and shouted before collapsing onto the sofa, motionless.

Yoran's right hand stopped in front of the doorknob. It was a door he had opened countless times, but this time Yoran felt it was hard to reach.

Yolan slightly pulled his fingers back, turned around and opened the stable door. Under the gaze of the black horse, he stood in front of the carriage, reached out and opened the carriage door, and sat in a place he had never sat in before. He placed the package he had been hiding in his arms on the opposite seat, hugged his knees, and with his empty and lifeless eyes, the package became the only light.

Chapter 83 I already said I was fine

In the evening, Li Yili arrived at the Sheep Village Building via a side path. After looking around and confirming that there were no Guo Weidun residents, she quickly sneaked into the Sheep Village Building. Then, Abu Jean and El, who came from the opposite direction, grabbed her arms on either side and led her into a cubicle.

“Executive Officer Li Yili, I knew you were alright. I thought that bastard Yeropo An had slit your throat.”

Abu Jean's tearful appearance made Li Yili lose her composure, because her original plan was to kick Abu Jean into a prison full of tough guys.

El leaned against the cubicle door, peeked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then closed the door with a long sigh of relief. He then reached out and pulled away Abrang, who was wiping his snot and tears all over Li Yili. "I told you before, it's okay. Executive Officer Li Yili knows what she's doing."

“Yes, yes, yes!” Abu Jean nodded vigorously.

“Thank you for your trust,” Li Yili said, dusting off her sleeves. “How did things go today?”

Just as El was about to explain the situation, Abu Jean put his hands on his hips and raised his head, "Those bastards thought that Executive Officer Li Yili had been killed by Yerobo An, and they were all working so hard, completely unaware that they were just working for Executive Officer Li Yili!"

El raised his hand and slapped it on his hand with a helpless expression.

On his forehead, he said, “Most of the Cloud Clan, just as Abu said, are still unaware of the specifics and still harbor illusions about Yeropo An. Your continued absence has given them a shot of adrenaline. The distribution of pollutants was completed before 5 o'clock.”

"Hmph—we're the ones responsible for communicating with the residents of Guoweiton; they're just a bunch of errand runners," Abu Jean said, arms crossed, with an annoyed snort.

“That’s really good news,” Li Yili said, resting her chin on her hand and raising an eyebrow slightly. “How is Yerobo An doing?”

“It looks very bad. I went to Minister Dela Pal’s residence on my way home from get off work today,” El’s expression turned serious. “Yerobo Ann’s condition seems to be much more serious than Minister Dela Pal’s. Geno followed him all the way without being discovered.”

“Yes, that’s right,” Li Yili raised her chin slightly. “Once it gets close to losing control, the thinking ability of the chosen one will drop significantly due to the hallucinations brought about by a large amount of incomprehensible unknown knowledge. Yerobo An doesn’t want to really go crazy, so he will do his best not to be distracted and focus on thinking about the secret of Minister Dela Pal’s return to normal.”

“Yerobo Ann can’t find that secret, right?” El probed.

"of course."

"As expected of you," El said with a subtle expression. "However, something else happened today, and I don't know... if it's something I should ask."

Abu Jang was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Li Yili raised an eyebrow slightly, pondering the recent changes.

"It's about real estate, right? I hope no one will come to protest."

“It’s not so much a protest… well, there were some unpleasant things said, some speculations,” Al laughed somewhat awkwardly, “but that’s not important. The main thing is that the residents of Guoweiton want you to sell the land around Guoweiton as soon as possible.”

"Looks like I'll have to hide for another two days," Li Yili chuckled. "You want to ask me why I bought that piece of land?"

“No, it’s no longer necessary,” El said with a serious expression. My expression, which showed that I already understood everything, made Abu Jean, who was nodding vigorously, stop what he was doing and shake his head from side to side.

"alright."

Li Yili nodded. Although she didn't know what Erzige was imagining, it was ultimately just his imagination.

"Now that there are no more problems, it's time to prepare for the final stage."

Li Yili hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​asking Jerry Ek and the other people in charge of the waste recycling station. Anyway, he now had a reason to conduct a carpet search of the entire Guoweiton. The residents of Guoweiton could not determine the amount of pollutants each other had, and he was not worried that the residents of Guoweiton would report the numbers to each other. After all, Bishop Azawi's church was right there, and it was an unspoken understanding that could not be said.

And this is related to the future of Guo Weldon.

He could easily ignite the discontent of most of the residents of Guoweidun with just a comment that the quantity was incorrect, making the carpet search, an act that easily incites public resentment, seem reasonable.

Now that El has found the scrap metal recycling station, he naturally knows about Jerry and his group. Asking El about Jerry and his group at this time will inevitably remind El of the missing pollutants.

Upon hearing the final stage, El became serious, and Abu Jean also straightened up, but judging from his constant swallowing, he was actually very nervous.

------

Jerry, Ek, and the others stood around the table, their faces ashen. Each of them had a lit candle in front of them, and the circular light illuminated three or four open packages and a wooden box with exquisite relief carvings placed in the center of the table.

At first glance, they seemed to be performing some kind of evil ritual, but in reality, they were just hiding in this windowless room to inventory their goods because they were feeling guilty, and they had already figured out the answer.

After a long silence, Ek couldn't help but raise his hand and slam it heavily on the table. The already weak candle flames flickered wildly, and the illusory shadows behind each person seemed to come alive and twist.

"Levi's Est. Richard was hiding goods intended for the restoration of the Temple of Gowerton! No wonder the Sheep Village enforcers searched that man's house with the fervor of ransacking it!"

“That’s not the point!” another person said, cold sweat dripping down their forehead. “The point is that we cleared that man’s name! Now we’re the ones who stole these things! And that man even bought all the land around the Temple of Gowwitton!”

"Could it be that Levi Esther Richard was plotting against us from the very beginning?!"

"He knew from the beginning that the Sheep Village planned to restore the Temple of Gowerton, and that the land around the Temple of Gowerton would appreciate in value. So he stole those supplies to delay the restoration plan, and then deliberately let us run the scrap yard, waiting for us to steal these things!"

"Damn it—what do we do! Could this Guoweiton restoration project be a prelude to a thorough search of this shipment?!" Ek cried out, clutching his head.

"It's all your fault, Jerry! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this!" Another man with a bulging forehead said resentfully to Jerry.

He roared, "Not only have we not earned a single penny, but we also have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility!"

Everyone immediately turned to look at Jerry.

"Now is the time to talk about this!" Jerry's heart skipped a beat, and he slammed his knuckles on the table. "The important thing now is how to get rid of all this stuff!"

"Everyone has one now, who cares anymore!"

“This is something that could repair the Temple of Gowwitton, those rich people definitely won’t be willing to part with it!” Jerry gritted his teeth. “There’s bound to be someone willing to buy this extra part!”

Chapter 84 Darkness Under the Lamp

The next day, Li Yili did not stay in bed, but even got up early and tidied her clothes in front of the mirror. Valhou Lei also got up early, which was very rare for her. She wore a gray long dress, plain long sleeves, and brown ankle boots. Even her gorgeous blonde hair was tied up and hidden in a beret.

They did this for one reason only: the Crusaders would be entering Gowerton today.

Are you sure the Crusaders will arrive today?

With a jerk of her buttocks, Valkyrie pushed Li Yili away from the full-length mirror. She then spun around in front of the mirror, clutching the sides of her skirt, and pouted, "I feel like I can't breathe."

“The advantage of Guoweidun’s backwardness and remoteness is that there are limited ways to get there, so it’s easy to figure out when they arrived,” Li Yili spread her hands to the sides. “After all, this is Guoweidun, not some ancient battlefield ruins of gods. The Crusader Expedition is just here to receive a result. If they used those large vehicles, they might not even break even on a round trip.”

“That makes sense~” Valkyrie said, hands on her hips. “So all we have to do is find a corner and wait for the Crusaders to arrive?”

“No, let’s go straight to the church and sit down,” Li Yili smiled brightly.

Valkyrie was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and raised an eyebrow. "You're blind to what's right under your nose."

The first thing the Crusaders did upon arriving in Gowerton was to search Sheep Village, starting with whoever held the highest position. As everyone knows, Li Yili, who used to hold a very high position in Sheep Village, is now just a security guard. The goods that were targeted and moved by Yeropon were transported to Gowerton after Li Yili was demoted to a security guard.

Furthermore, Li Yili went to the church to report this matter.

At least when it comes to the transportation of pollutants, the Crusade would never start its investigation with Li Yili.

Li Yili has angered the community by leasing a plot of land around the Guoweidun Temple and needs a place to hide. However, the residents of Guoweidun are now quite guilty in front of Bishop Azawi because they have received pollutants, and they will not go near the church at all.

Of course, if the Crusaders came to Guoweidun with the aim of exterminating the young Black Goats, even if Li Yili was just a security guard, he would not be spared from being dragged out and executed. However, Guoweidun's geographical location was delicate, and if the Crusaders wanted to execute the young Black Goats without being provoked by the Horn of Galar, they needed the support of the common people of Guoweidun.

However, it is clear that the Crusaders cannot win the support of the people of Goweton at this time. If they stay in Goweton, they will be targeted by the Horn of Galar. If they return in disgrace, it will be tantamount to tarnishing the reputation of the Crusaders.

As a result, the Crusaders had no choice but to cooperate with Li Yili to devour Jerobo An, a prey that was more valuable than the young black goat, which was composed entirely of ordinary people.

Li Yili happened to be sitting in the church, so they could reach an agreement immediately.

Even if Jerobo An realized that Li Yili was behind it all, he couldn't possibly storm into Bishop Azawi's church.

Even if the Crusaders were to devour Jeroboam, and they wanted to take advantage of the situation to seize the Black Goat's offspring, they still wouldn't have the nominal support of the residents of Gowerton. At that time, the Black Goat's offspring were all ordinary people, and they had no value in giving the Horn of Galar an excuse.

Therefore, all Li Yili needed to do was prepare a tea set and drink tea in Bishop Asawi's church for two or three days, and everything would be over.

“If you understand, let’s go,” Li Yili said, extending her arm to Valhou Lei. “It’s time to go to... well, it’s time for prayers. And also, get me the wine.”

Valhae Rai scoffed, bent down, lifted her skirt, and removed the round wine jug tied to one side of her thigh.

"besides."

Valhae Rei pursed her lips, loosened her belt, and removed the identical wine jugs that clung to her sides like a corset.

Li Yili raised her eyes and pointed to the necklace that was hidden by Valkyrie's collar.

"..."

Valkyrie lowered her head, took off her necklace, and pulled out a glass tube about the thickness of a finger and about seven centimeters long.

"Let's go! Consider it a break to adjust our lifestyle."

Li Yili grabbed Valqiu Lei's arm and dragged the dejected Valqiu Lei out the door.

Because everyone had something to hide, the residents of Guoweidun subconsciously avoided the church, so Li Yili didn't encounter a single person along the way until she arrived at the church.

Upon entering the hall, Li Yili immediately noticed the white statue draped in a robe, bathed in a dazzling halo of light. Moving his gaze upward, Li Yili's eyes were drawn to the "Epic" pieced together from different colored glass. He didn't care much for art; he simply thought the glasswork was incredibly impressive.

"Waaah—this bench is so hard, can I sleep on it... Ahhh—my back, my back is going to break."
