late December.

Because of the dam burst, the land originally used to build the factory was partially damaged, and many buildings were washed away by the sea. Therefore, if you want to build again, you need to wait until next year.

And with the deepening of the season, it is already the season of cold winter, and the enthusiasm of the workers to work has declined. On the construction site, only scattered workers are still working. However, considering that this season is not suitable for construction, the number of workers who come here is only a quarter of the original, and the daily working hours are shortened to half of the original.

Dazner is one of those who continue to stick to the post.

As the leader of the workers, he must set an example. On the other hand, the salary given by the employer has not been reduced. Even if the working hours are only half of the original, he can still get the same salary as usual. This is the best thing for some workers who are not afraid of the cold.

They, who can only show off their coolies, naturally have no reason to refuse.

"I didn't expect so few people to come."

Worker Kitch found Dazner during his break and said to him.

Dazna took a sip of hot water and looked at the frosted earth and sky. Because the country of waves is filled with mist all year round, in winter, these mists will become extremely cold and frosty. Even the strongest person will feel biting. chill.

"There's no way. Continuing to work at this time is either a person with a good physique or a person who is in urgent need of money. But compared to these, if the body freezes, the gain will outweigh the gain. Not everyone likes working here. When it's time to go out to work."

Dazner said.

Winter in the Land of Waves is notoriously cold. As a native of the Land of Waves, although they are used to such coldness, they dare not say that they can ignore such coldness.

If you stay in such an environment for too long, your body will easily be frozen.

Every year, I hear news of people dying outside, all of them homeless homeless people. They have no clothes to keep out the cold and no place to live, so they are naturally prone to die in such a cold season.

"That's right, if it wasn't for the fact that the house was about to be boiled, I wouldn't want to go out to work in such a cold day."

Kitch exhaled a white, cold breath from his mouth, and rubbed his hands vigorously. His hands were red and swollen.

"Are your hands okay?"

"It's alright. When I continue to work later, it will be much better to soak in hot water, and it will not hinder my work in the afternoon."

Although it is possible to be lazy in a symbolic way, the employer has already given so much money, and if he is still lazy here, he always feels a little bit unworthy of the salary given by the employer.

As much as the employer pays, he can contribute as much as he can. This is the rule that Kitch has set for himself.

"That's fine, if it really doesn't work, go back and rest..."

Dazner's words stopped, and a voice came from beside him, interrupting the communication between him and Kitch.

"Dazner, someone is looking for you."

a worker shouted.

"Ok?"

Dazna looked in the direction the worker pointed, and saw a middle-aged man in an official uniform. He could be sure that the other party was not from Yiji's side. He had never seen this person from Yiji.

who is it?

Generally speaking, no one would come to such a place to look for him.

"Pay attention, the other party has a family crest on his body."

Kitch narrowed his eyes.

"Family crest?"

Dazner glanced at the middle-aged man. The family crest representing his identity was indeed embroidered on his clothes.

"That's the family crest of a daimyo, and he's a daimyo."

Like the rest of the countries, the Land of Waves pays attention to the inheritance of blood.

In particular, the big names in the upper class and the rest of the big and small nobles all have their own family crests.

This kind of family crest represents the status of the nobility.

Among them, the one with the most noble bloodline is the famous master of the country of waves.

As a native of the Land of Waves, Kiki has naturally seen the family crests of famous families.

It's just that they have never been in contact with such a noble person. After all, there is a serious level gap between the upper and lower levels. As the bottom level, they are not qualified to meet such a noble person.

Although Kitch didn't understand, why the bloodlines of daimyo and nobles were noble, let alone where their bloodlines were noble and reflected.

It's not a bloodline bound ninja. It has a mysterious bloodline limit, which can be passed on to future generations more intuitively.

Dazner also reacted, and his expression became solemn.

At this time, people from the Daming Mansion came over, presumably nothing good would happen.

Even if they are so poor, the people above have not reduced their taxes. It can be said that the heavy taxes are also one of the important reasons for the poverty of the country of waves.

Once this group of people finds them, nothing good will happen.

"Stop factory construction?"

In a temporary office in the factory, it is equipped with a heater, and the air is filled with warmth. Compared with the cold outside, it is completely two worlds.

However, in such an environment, Dazner did not feel any warmth, but a chill in his heart.

He looked at Cardo sitting in the office chair.

Judging from his face, he is a sinister and cunning vicious character.

In short, it doesn't look like a good person's face, and it looks very intimidating.

Cardo wiped his sunglasses with a tissue, revealing his fierce little eyes. After putting them on again, his sense of aggression was much lessened, but the look behind the sunglasses still restrained Dazner a little.

Unlike Kazuhime, even if Cardo did something he didn't care about, it was difficult for people to communicate with him naturally and cordially.

He said regretfully to Dazner: "Although I am sorry, this is an established fact. This is a decision made by the Nami Kingdom, and they suspect that the factory set up by the Ghost Kingdom here is for production violations. We plan to intervene in the investigation. Although we have given an explanation here, we are guests after all, so we had to ask the officials of the Land of Waves to investigate."

"Then, the famous messengers who came here during the day..."

Dazner remembered that the noon break was. He came here to find his famous messenger. He kept asking about all kinds of things in the factory.

This made Dazner very unhappy, but considering the gap between the identities of the two sides, Dazner only explained what he knew to the famous messenger.

I just didn't expect it, and soon I got the bad news that the factory stopped construction.

If the factory cannot continue to build, then these thousands of workers will be unemployed.

Although it is not impossible to live, it will return to its original shape. As for improving life, it is wishful thinking.

"It's the investigators. There will be other officials who will come to visit and investigate later. For those people, our Ghost Kingdom will send people to negotiate."

"Then what should the workers do?"

"Because it happened suddenly and was an uncontrollable accident, during the official investigation of the country of waves, all the work here will be stopped. So..."

Cardo's meaning is self-evident.

Unemployment of workers is a foregone conclusion.

"Then how long do they need to investigate?"

"If it's fast, it can be solved in ten days and a half. If it's slow, we won't know. Judging from the attitude of the Great House of Waves, they won't let it go, so they can only waste time here."

In other words, it cannot be ruled out that the Daimyo House in the Land of Waves has been delayed.

If it keeps procrastinating like this, even half a year or a year is possible.

This news is undoubtedly very annoying to Dazner.

It was difficult for Dazner to accept that he had finally received a job, but now he has been suspended due to some unwarranted things.

But what if you don't accept it?

You can see from the famous messengers who came here during the day, they will not explain anything to them civilians.

And they are also used to it. They don't need explanation from the upper level, they just need to obey the rules honestly.

You don't need to resist, you don't need to expect, just live your life well.

As long as you can live, there is still hope, there is no need to provoke the powerful, it is impossible for them to live.

If so, they can only protest and vent their dissatisfaction.

Seeming to see Dazner's worries, Cardo said: "Actually, you don't need to worry, although the factory has been suspended due to some things, but the workers and migrants cooperatives can still give you some assistance to let you through this. Winter. We will step up our negotiation with the Land of Waves, Daimyo, and let them lift the restrictions."

"we can only do this."

Dazner sighed and wanted to go home and drink immediately to vent his displeasure.

The defeat in the crusade against the pirates resulted in the death of many young people, and now the largest workers in the Land of Waves have to be collectively unemployed. Can this group of powerful people do something useful?

Moreover, this year's tax has not yet been paid, and by the end of the year, the tax must be paid... Dazner's eyes showed a heavy look.

Damn, what will happen in the first half of next year? Dazner was worried about this in his heart.

He is the only labor force in the family. Besides, there is only one woman and one child in the family. The burden of the family is on him alone. This was the most helpless thing Dazner felt.

"I will make a public statement after this incident. At that time, I hope Mr. Dazner can comfort people's hearts. The misunderstanding of the Daimyo House of the Land of Waves has been resolved, and everyone's jobs will be resumed immediately. In addition, the eldest lady has already ordered, This month's salary will be paid to you in advance, so that you can have a good year."

Cardo said to Dazner.

"Thank you Miss Ichihime for me."

The more Dazner thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

Obviously not from his own country, but as a result, he takes care of the lives of the lower-level people more than the big name in his own country, instead of just thinking about how to deal with it.

Which one is the name of your own country?

Therefore, even though he knew that the country of ghosts had a different purpose in setting up a factory in the country of waves, Dazner had no objection at all.

As long as they can actually improve their lives, there is no need for opposition. This is the truest thought in Dazner's heart.

After Dazna left, Ichiki emerged from the corner of the room. She has been hiding here. Dazna, who is not a ninja, must not be able to exist, and I don't know that Ichiki is eavesdropping here. His conversation with Cardo.

"How is it, Miss, what are you going to do next? Do you want to directly showdown with the great name of the country of waves?"

Cardo asked Kazuhime for her opinion.

"No, the attitude of resistance at the bottom of the country of waves is not very strong now, and it is not desperate. Next, those people will start with the workers' and workers' cooperatives, for example, from both the official and public opinion. Make another mistake and be smart again."

Ichiki commented.

"After so many losses, it's time to learn something. Besides, the famous name of the country of fire probably saw something."

"Unlike those narrow-minded businessmen's alliances, as a daimyo, they will definitely have a longer-term vision, and it will be easier to notice the harmfulness of the worker-civilian cooperative to them."

At present, the worker-civilian cooperative has joined more than 3,000 members, and this number has exceeded Ichiji's initial expectations.

With the passage of time, it is only a matter of time before the cooperative society develops a more terrifying absorptive capacity and wipes out the bottom of the country of waves.

If the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire want to win, they must act fast. If they are too slow, their penetration into the people will decrease. Losing the control of the people, Damingfu of the Land of Waves lost its proper government functions and became a symbolic existence like a mascot. When the country of waves arrives, the country of ghosts will have the final say, which is the most feared thing in the country of fire.

"So, how about Keisha's contacts? Does this person fit the lady's mind?"

Cardo asked with a smile.

"It's more excellent than the information you collected in writing, it's unimaginable that such a person can appear in such a country. He will leave it to you. Assassination is such a worthless thing, as long as the name of the country of fire is smarter, You should also know that such an approach is not advisable, but you can't fully trust the other party either.

"I see, I will send ninjas to protect him secretly."

Cardo nodded seriously.

"Then I'll leave the matter here. Next, I'm going back to the country of ghosts to report for work. I'll come again around February next year. This time, I'll eliminate the remnants of the Merchant Alliance by the way. It's useless to keep them anyway. The silo is completely reduced to the history of the past.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of those remnants of the Merchant Alliance?"

Cardo was quite surprised.

"It was a message sent by Oya Chengyan to the headquarters. Those remnant party businessmen are hiding in a hidden stronghold in the Rainbow Country. According to the information provided by Oya Chengyan, there are hundreds of ninjas fighting under the remnant party merchants. Li, I'll go over and clean it up myself."

When it came to Oya Castle flames, Kazuhime's face was a little unhappy.

The man who wore sunglasses and always smiled frivolously, for some reason, she couldn't help but want to punch him in the face a few times.

But I just think about it. According to the information, the number of secret strongholds that Oya Castle has excavated is much more than that of his subordinates.

To be so cautious about being afraid of death is the only one in the Ninja world.

Finding this person is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Not to mention, the other party still holds the incomparably mysterious boundary of blood, and in terms of strength, it is probably on the same level as Sannin.

"Oya Castle Flame... That guy is as cunning as ever. It's probably because of President Miyoko and the others, he doesn't seem like a guy who likes to get in trouble."

Cardo nodded calmly after being a little surprised.

He knew that Oya Castle Flame and Shion Flower Chamber of Commerce had very close exchanges.

He himself also had business dealings with Oya Castle, so he knew the nature of this person.

Afraid of death, timid, cautious, but very powerful.

As a businessman, he does not regard wealth as fate.

He is a man whose whole body is full of contradictions.

It is said that his daughter is serving in the secret army of the Ghost Country. With this relationship, and the decline of the Lonely Island Merchant Alliance, then it is not difficult to understand that the remnants of the Merchant Alliance betrayed by Oya Castle.

Kazuhime didn't comment on this. In short, she didn't like the grinning face of Miyagi Shiroyan who didn't care what he looked at.

The sound of rain was pattering.

Nagato, located in the camp, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the direction of Yuyin Village.

"Nagato, what's wrong?"

Sensing the strange expression on Nagato's face, Xiao Nan asked in confusion.

"A strange chakra appeared near Yuyin Village. This chakra is very powerful, not an ordinary ninja. Moreover, the chakra gives me a very cold feeling, like a machine without emotion."

Nagato said.

"According to the information provided by the Wandering Miko in the Land of Ghosts, Genbu Danzo's deputy, Ryoma, is investigating the identity of 'Payne'. Taking advantage of this time when we have no time to take care of Yuyin Village, he plans to sneak in at this time, wanting to Investigate the information on 'Payne'."

Xiao Nan thought of something and said.

Nagato nodded, agreeing with Xiao Nan's statement.

Chakra is powerful, and his breath is cold and emotionless like a machine. The only person who fits these two points is Ryoma, the deputy commander of the root who is investigating the information of 'Payne' recently.

The other party is Danzo's deputy, the elite Jnin of Konoha Ninja Village. In the past, he worked with Orochimaru and was called a very troublesome messenger by Orochimaru. It is conceivable that his strength is not weak, and he won one of the three ninjas. Orochimaru's approval.

Just because of joining the root, you need to hide your sense of existence, so many people don't know that there is such a master ninja hidden in Konoha.

At present, Akatsuki's members each have their own affairs, and none of the others stay in the tower of Yuyin Village on standby.

At this moment, in Yuyin Village, apart from the six 'Penn' he controls, no one among Yuyin Ninjas is the opponent of the oily girl Ryoma.

"Do you need to go back?"

Xiao Nan opened his mouth.

Even if Penn's Six Paths are used, if the distance is controlled, the strength of Six Paths Payne's performance may not be as good as one-tenth of the heyday.

The distance is too far, and the chakra receiver made with the Yin-Yang attribute spell cannot be so far away, and it can still maintain excellent signal reception ability.

In this state of Penn Liudao, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with the oil girl Ryoma.

"The wandering witch in the land of ghosts is hiding in Yuyin Village at this time. She seems to have the confidence to deal with the oil girl Ryoma. If it really doesn't work, I will go back and do it myself."

Nagato shook his head. At this time, if it wasn't a last resort, he didn't want to return to Yuyin Village.

If the wandering witch in the land of ghosts fails, then he will not be too late.

No matter what, the oily girl Ryoma who sneaked into Yuyin Village to collect information cannot let him leave alive.

Xiao Nan hesitated, but didn't say anything.

Now that Nagato has a judgment, she can only choose to believe it.

Rain is hidden.

The rain dripped on the dark hooded coat, soaking the outside of the clothes.

The sunglasses were also stained with rain, but it didn't affect the oil girl Ryoma's sight at all.

Half of his body emerged from the water, and his eyes behind the sunglasses swept sharply towards Yuyin Village, which was full of tall buildings, without the slightest emotion.

Afterwards, his body dived into the water, mixed with the breath of the water, and slowly swam towards the location of Yuyin Village, easily bypassing the guard line set up by Yuyin Ninja.

As an elite jounin of the root, the oil girl Ryoma has the ability to sneak in and assassinate more than most of the root ninjas. When he first joined the root, he was not Danzo's deputy, or one of the best assassination ninjas in Anbu. Covering his breath and hiding his figure can be said to be his best field.

Coupled with the serious shortage of Yuyin ninjas left behind in Yuyin Village, the oil girl Ryoma sneaked in, making it even more difficult.

It made him a little suspicious of Danzo's judgment. Is such a village with a loose system and a poor cordon arrangement really worth him coming here to investigate intelligence?

The so-called 'Payne' is probably just a little-known ninja. The reason why he can become the new leader of Yuyin Village is entirely because the elite ninjas of Yuyin Village died in the third ninja war. Bar.

Yuyin during the reign of Sanjiaoyu Hanzo was known as an iron barrel-like existence. Even he, at that time, it was difficult to sneak in.

The oil girl Ryoma had to sigh that Yuyin, who had gone through many twists and turns, had completely disappeared, and even a decent ninja could not be found.

But in the end, this is just a very easy intelligence investigation mission, so the oil girl Ryoma doesn't want to do superfluous things.

To complete the task assigned to him by Danzo, to investigate Yuyin's new leader Payne's information from Yuyin Village, and to find out the cause of Kanzang's death, this is the whole content of the mission.

Entering Yuyin Village, it didn't take much effort to the oil girl Longma.

He appeared in a deserted alley~www.mtlnovel.com~ and took the distribution map of Yuyin Village that he obtained from Kanzang in the past. The distribution of buildings in Yuyin Village is no different from the past.

The tallest tower in the center of the village is the residence of the leaders of Yuyin Village.

In the past, Hanzo used to be in that tower, commanding Uyin ninjas, and now Payne must be living in that tower and ruling Uyin Village.

The problem is that he doesn't know how many troops are deployed in the tower. Before sneaking in, he still needs to find prey and get some general information.

Although I don't think there are ninjas in Yuyin Village that can cause trouble for me, but I'm not wrong.

This investigation mission is related to the next step of the root, and no accidents are allowed.

In the dark corner of the alley, the oily girl Ryoma's black clothes blended with the surrounding darkness, making people unaware of his presence.

Pale fingers stick out from the sleeves, exposed to the icy rain.

Insects with lavender carapaces, but the size of a grain of rice, densely spread across his arms and rushed to his fingers exposed to the rain.

"Go, find a suitable sacrifice for me."

Using that finger as the landing platform, the lilac worm unfolded its gray-white and transparent wings and flapped it gently. The lavender carapace suddenly turned into a gray color like the rainy day, like a chameleon, protecting its own existence and flying. to the sky.
