Thousands of sparks

Chapter 96 Code Name "Foolish Old Man"

Since Androni announced that he would use the power of Mr. Marquis to establish a safe channel for Dusande to the Federation, Dussande began to become familiar with various events in Upper Albin under the leadership of Morse. "Unknown" passages and lines.

"Mr. Morse, is this really necessary?" Going shopping with Morse is quite comfortable, especially being able to escape from a bunch of routine work and meetings, which makes Du Sande even more happy .But sadly, Morse took Dussand everywhere along familiar lines... trails littered with trash and stagnant water.The pungent smell and rubbish all over the floor make it hard to feel happy.

"Which part are you referring to? Go on the spot once, or choose such a small path?" Morse strode ahead, even if Dusande asked questions, he could not slow down his pace, "Remember to turn right at the intersection ahead, otherwise you will would have gone straight through the back door of Upper Albion Police Station."

Du Sande followed behind Morse and said, "Both refer to——Mr. Morse, if you really encounter a situation where you need to activate the escape route, won't it be too slow to use the way to get out on foot?"

Morse stopped suddenly.

"If you, my lord, the chief private secretary to the speaker of the House of Commons, the only son of the baron needs to use the escape route..." Morse looked at Dusand and said word by word, "It means that your parents, friends, Those close to me are all unreliable or dead."

This description is like a bucket of ice water, poured on Dusand's head and face.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything.

"In this case, my lord," said Morse, looking at Dusand, "even I may become your enemy—if Monsieur Marquis decides to take your life, I will do my best. Work hard for his wishes."

Looking at Dusande whose face was turning livid, Morse said very calmly and naturally, "I am Mr. Memorize all the routes given to you, and will continue to dig a safe passage to the final extraction point by myself."

"This evacuation point does not belong to any party, or in other words, any force has a foot in it." Morse took Dusand and continued to walk forward, "In this evacuation point, you need to directly Find...her."

On the black lacquered door hung a signboard covered in copper rust, with three words written on it in huge dull font.

"Opper Albyn Textile Fair"

"Let's find Miss Petunia." Under the signboard was an old man who was about the same height as Dusand. Morse walked up to him and said to him very naturally and kindly, "My code name is 'Sequoia'."

The old man raised his eyelids to look at Morse, then slowly got up and walked into the room.Dusande and Morse also followed.

"Remember, after reporting your code name, you must follow Mr. Pierce into this room as soon as possible." Morse continued his explanation process, "After reporting your code name and entering this room, That means you've got the shelter of Miss Petunia and the other bazaar members."

"The... asylum of the market?" Dusand showed a somewhat disapproving smile, "This kind of asylum can allow me to survive the threat of killing my parents?"

"If you have a code name and successfully entered this place." Morse said with a smile, "...no."

Dusand shrugged.

"But this shelter can keep you alive for the next twelve hours. During these twelve hours, the market will transport you safely to a smuggling ship."

"As long as the empire doesn't call in all four guard fleets to completely block all orbits from Newsail to the eighth planet, this smuggling ship will be able to leave Newsail smoothly, and then take you all the way to the Star Sea at full speed. Federal territory." Morse took out his pocket watch from his belt and glanced at it, "So, do you have any questions?"

"What kind of place is the Star Sea Federation? Who are they? I know they are the rebels of the Alliance, can't they cooperate with the Empire? What kind of organization is the Bazaar? Why have I never heard of this in the Heraldry Management Office? Name?" Dusande's question was almost like a mountain, and he asked eagerly, "Why is the market so powerful? Are you sure they are not fooling people?"

"The bazaar is an organization with a long history. It is said that their history is almost as long as the empire." Morse, who regained some sense of being a teacher, explained the situation a little bit, and then said, "Your other questions, we can Let's continue the discussion later."

"Because there are more important tasks now?" Dusande asked curiously as he looked at the room, which was basically the size of the school's reception room. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"I'll give you a code name." A female voice came in abruptly, her voice sounded a little old, "Nice to meet you...Your Excellency the Chief Secretary."

"I think you are Miss Petunia." Dusand said, "Hello, I am..."

"Your Excellency the Chief Secretary." Miss Petunia said emphatically, "I just need to know who you are—we are not used to calling each other by our real names in this place."

Morse shrugged his shoulders, and then said to Dusand, "The name 'Petunia' can't be real, of course, and..."

"Don't be curious about the names of the people you meet here." Miss Petunia added, "Mr. Secretary, don't even try to use Aika's power to probe us."

"Part of the Aika originated from the bazaar, but some splits occurred later. Of course, it was a very bloody and cruel history." Morse pulled a chair, sat down and said, " I can help with the narrative and education part later. The focus now is..."

"Your code name." Miss Petunia continued, "This is very important."

Dusand stood where he was, looking at Morse, then at Petunia.

"You two have a problem." Du Sande crossed his arms and looked at the faces of the two with great interest.

"She is related to me by blood. Strictly speaking, she is my cousin." Morse did not give Dusande a chance to use his imagination and directly revealed the answer. "I personally suggest that you must be more cautious about your code name - I have seen a poor colleague, and his code name is 'Meatball'."

Dusand was taken aback, "Meatball?"

"According to tradition, people engaged in underground work like to replace the number with their favorite key to action." Penny explained, "Mr. Meatball sneaked into a certain duke's mansion during an operation, and successfully became the The cook. He did the final assassination with a meatball."

"Then he became a meatball." Morse said with a smile, "As for my code name Sequoia..."

"Oh yes, those fir trees around Duke Saar's mansion, right?" Dusand suddenly realized, "That was your idea?"

Morse nodded, "You have to know that in the market, the code name also means 'seniority seal' to some extent. The deeds and the code name are bound, which means that you will not be a messy person. object."

"The last time a drunk guy laughed at Mr. Meatball, his body was found in Sunset Square two days later - he was choked to death." Miss Petunia made a gesture in the air with her hand Shaped the size of a basketball, "he had a meaty ball this big stuffed in his mouth."

"Can't this stuff fit into a person's mouth?" Dusand was shocked by the size.

"So that guy's jaw was cut open first, and then filled with such a big meat ball." Morse sighed, "So, don't provoke others in the market."

According to the custom of "corresponding deeds and code names", Dusand's code name is probably something like "leaflet" or "bitter trick", but... this kind of code name sounds too ugly.

"Although it's a tradition, you don't have to follow it, right?" Du Sande asked, "Miss Petunia's code name is just a fake name?"

"Using a person's name as a code name is the prerogative of the assembly staff." Morse said with a light cough, "You'd better not try to do that."

"You can choose another word." Penny thought for a while and said, "After all, you usually don't have much intersection with the rally, this code name is only used when you activate the escape route."

Du Sande was silent for a while and then said, "Then... Yugong."

Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains, this is the direction Du Sande chose for the difficulties and challenges he faced.It is also his encouragement and expectation for himself.

In the culture and history of the empire, there is no similar allusion to Yugong Yishan.After all, everything is under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, just be grateful to His Majesty and offer your loyalty and even your life.

Why not be content with the status quo and dig the mountains that stand in your way?
But Du Sande, who traveled to the empire, was very dissatisfied.

This empire has a strange sense of shackles from top to bottom. Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor, the Colonial Hall, the House of Commons or the nobles, free people and poor people, they seem to have no sense of the rigidity and numbness of this society.Those with authority look at the hardships of the Limin people without sympathy, and those who are powerless are struggling but don't care too much.

It felt wrong, very wrong.This is not what a normal human society should be like.

Dusande knew very well that there was a high probability that he would never be able to return to his hometown.He will no longer see the Yunhe Tower in his hometown, see the surging Yangtze River, and taste the lotus root pork rib soup made by his mother himself.

He is homesick.

Homesick and unable to return, there is only one method for Du Sande to resolve the deep sorrow in his heart.

At least, let the empire look normal, and make this place feel a little bit like home.

Then be a fool.The numbness and indifference of the empire are the "two big mountains" in front of Dusand.His power is very limited, just like the real Yu Gong.

But even if you spend your whole life, you can only loosen the soil for two big mountains, and this is not a waste of time.

"Foolish Old Man?" Mr. Morse read a few words. The combination of "stupid" and "elderly" made him think of those old beggars who drank bad wine all day long and waited to die.

"This code name is good." On the contrary, Penny is quite satisfied with this code name, "No one will associate this code name with you, but 'Yu Gong' sounds a little deliberate, how about 'Fool'? Tone it down Age, which makes it easier to blur other people's speculation."

Du Sande shook his head vigorously, and refused righteously, "I don't want to be a poor man, and I don't want to go into the toilet if I have nothing to do, and end up with hemorrhoids!"

　Praise Mr. Fool, I just want to play a joke.

　　The squid is great, since I asked you to ask for two autographs, please bless me and recommend it if I don’t have Calvin.

　　Praise the Fool, and present you a sizzling squid with garlic flavor.
