Chapter 33: Investigation and Collection of Evidence
The recruit's actual combat mission was considered a success, and Vice Principal Rook was quickly paid according to the mission, but the mission was still hanging on the mercenary board. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Apparently peeking at gorilla mating is a long-term task that cannot be finished in a moment.
The full reward was in the hands of Kevin and other recruits, and each of them was 200 gold coins, which was quite considerable. But this is a desperate fight, and every mercenary mission is quite risky, ranging from a few scars, missing arms and legs, to losing your life. Every time a successful order is made, many mercenaries would rather sit and eat for half a year.
Adventures are very noble in the bard's mouth, but this nobility belongs to the strong. However, most people in this world are weak, and Kevin is one of the countless weak. With 200 gold coins, although the value is objective, but thinking back to the vicious fight in the forest, Kevin would rather go to the tavern to tell yellow jokes and earn copper coins more steadily.
Of course, for high-class people such as the son of the city lord and the son of the general, this is just a mere pocket money. So the meaning of this life-and-death task is almost impossible for them. Kevin got the money and felt comforted. They get the money and feel like they've become beggars.
Professor Rook also sent a letter of thanks, detailing the bravery of several recruits and giving a certain description of the situation at that time.
Obviously, the thank you letter is not just about thanks, but also urging the military and the mercenary alliance to solve the problem. No matter what Luke said, he was also the vice president of Wang Li Academy, and he was actually attacked, whether the other party knew the identity of the old man at that time or not, he had to settle the account afterwards.
Kevin and the others returned to the barracks and slept only one night, and the next day they were immediately called away by a more senior commander to inquire in detail about the situation. Several people asked separately, and they didn't let go of the details. Kevin and the others have no objection to this, since they are investigating the murderer, they naturally say as much detail as possible, and there is nothing to hide.
However, Kevin's confession is suspicious, because he said that the man in black gave away the head, and explained that the man in black might be his own reader. But Kevin didn't specifically explain whether the Man in Black was an assassin or something, Kevin just said that he used to be a bard, and some powerful people were also his readers. This also explains the meaning of the note "When will the new book come out, I am waiting for the update".
But when it comes to specific questions such as who the readers are, Kevin doesn't know anything. Although it can be surmised that most of them are assassins, they all say that they don't know at this time. When asked what books he had written before, he replied "The Biography of the Assassins", but when he took it out to look at it, Kevin spread his hands and did not have it.
Truth be told, the book was only in the possession of the Assassins, not in the Start Library.
The investigation lasted until the afternoon, when the congregation camp was released. Everyone was very tired, but the barracks had to stipulate during the day that they were not allowed to sleep in bed. The crowd could only find chairs to lean on.
It is now the last few days of the recruit training period, and there is no training other than the basic drills. Finally began to be relatively relaxed, everyone cherished it very much, and they all sat still, and this time even Kevin had a rare rest.
"Sain," Kevin began, "in a few days is the final drill for the recruits, when do you think the two of us will fight?"
Sain sat there motionless and did not speak.
"I think," Kevin continued, "and that's it." ”
Sain sighed softly, but remained silent.
"It's been three months," Kevin replied, "and you can see what I'm capable of now." It can be said that they all came down from the battlefield together, if it were for the sake of me not being a nobleman, just a pariah, and mixed in with you. I don't think it's necessary anymore. ”
Everyone present turned their heads to look at Sain, and Sain turned his head to look directly at Kevin: "To be honest, it still doesn't please you." But for that reason, I admit it doesn't make much sense to duel with you or something. But unfortunately, it is no longer inevitable. ”
Kevin touched his chin: "So, you have already told your family?
Sain was silent, seemingly acquiescing.
"Recruit drills almost every year have a fight with each other, and the winner will get more attention and will be more likely to get military merit in the future," Kevin reasoned to himself, "It seems that you have decided to let me be your stepping stone." ”
"You know a lot. Sain replied, "Are these all asked?"
Kevin just changed the subject: "Are you sure about playing against me?"
Sain was silent for a moment, but then replied, "Yes." ”
"Alright," said Stat, who was still wounded and bandaged, "everyone has survived, so be happy." At least you see, isn't our Marcus stunned by the training? ha!"
Everyone echoed and laughed, and Marcus ran away on his own, sending only one parrot to follow, which was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty. If nothing happens, no one will report him. But the matter has become a big one, and he cannot escape the guilt, and at this time he is holding a shield outside the camp gate to bask in the sun.
Many recruits were watching around him, and he was the only one here who was holding a shield.
In the evening, Kevin and the others received news that they would confront the two mercenary groups tomorrow. Although they were all masked when fighting Kevin, after all, they fought in close quarters for a period of time, which should have an impact on their body shape or voice. However, the two mercenary groups are both large groups of 300 people, and tomorrow they will gather 600 people to Kevin and others to admit one by one, which is a huge project.
Everyone couldn't help but discuss it again, and also talked about the details at that time. There was a lot of discussion, and everyone came up with a lot of strange ideas, and the context gradually became clearer.
At that time, the other party claimed that in order to avenge the boss, the other party's boss was killed by the person who delivered the package, but the head did pass through Kevin's hands, and there was some reason to believe that Kevin killed people. However, during the fight, the two of them were injured, and the feelings between their companions seemed to be very indifferent. Therefore, the reason for revenge for the boss is less likely.
Then the reason for the attack is nothing more than robbing money and provoking strife. Although everyone had no money at that time, Vice Principal Rook was highly respected and had little strength, so if he could kidnap him as a hostage, he would demand a ransom. It's also a way to get rich.
But when I thought about it, everyone was covering their heads and faces, and the professor looked no different from the person next to him, how did the other party recognize it? The other party also saw the poaching of gorillas. And they also use smuggled dwarven weapons.
If it's not a robbery, it can only be to blame the dream return mercenary group. However, at the expense of the two of them, they still tried to fight again, and even if the gorillas threw stones together, they only switched from close combat to long-range attacks, and did not retreat until two more were shot and killed. If it's just to blame, I'm afraid the price to pay is too great.
Or is it that this group of people has become accustomed to blaming the blame. Usually no matter what you do, you carry the badge of someone else's mercenary group, and if you are alive, you will continue the mission, and if you die, you will be to blame?
Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no reliable result for a while, so they could only rest.
The next day, the gates of the barracks were opened, and the two mercenary groups were directly introduced into the exercise venue. Today, the whole army is on alert, and as early as yesterday all veterans were notified to polish their weapons and be ready to attack at any time. The drill venue was full of elite troops, rows of queues, and the momentum was magnificent. And the 600 people in the middle seemed disorganized, as if they were just ordinary people who had been driven together.
When the mercenary group entered the door, they were asked to forcibly disarm their weapons, and at this time, all of them, including the regiment commander, were unarmed. The regiment commander even had to reassure his members in turn, saying that this was a normal procedure and there would be absolutely no problems or anything like that.
Kevin and the others had been directly summoned by the legion commander Orson early in the morning, and they were standing beside him at this time. It was the first time for the recruits to come into contact with an officer of the rank of colonel so closely, and they were all nervous. All of them stood upright, for fear of shaking themselves, which was almost a subconscious behavior of the recruits, and it was also the result of three months of training.
"Kevin, Stadt, Oka, Sain, Gray, Malinus. Orson called them one by one.
"Here!" replied loudly.
"They'll come in one by one, you see. You can go up and touch it, or let them strike various poses!" Colonel Orson authorized directly.
"Yes!" the crowd replied loudly.
"Colonel," a subordinate officer on the side spoke, "There are also many female mercenaries in the two mercenary groups, and they should be able to kick out the inspection range directly." ”
"No hurry," Orson began, "who knows if they are real women or fake women." Find a female soldier to come over and confirm first!"
"Yes!" the subordinate officer immediately took the order, brought two female mages in a moment, and when he saw the chief, he also saluted vigorously: "Colonel!"
Kevin and the others watched from the sidelines, and they all felt that this search was really strong. It seems that it is not just poaching, smuggling is so simple.
After a while, a mage-like person came in from outside the account, and looking at the badge on his chest, it could be seen that he was Qian Jue, the leader of the Zijin Mercenary Group. Dressed in a light blue robe, he was noble and elegant, and he didn't look like a mercenary at all, but even more like an upper-class nobleman.
"Ahem," Qian Jue coughed dryly, "Why is it so grand this time?"
"Captain Qianjue, I hope you can cooperate. Colonel Orson replied lightly, turning his head to look at Kevin and the others, "How is it?"
"The figure is somewhat similar, I'm not sure. Kevin replied.
"Go over and take a closer look!" Orson ordered.
Six people walked over and circled around him, scrutinizing carefully. In the middle, Qianjue's face darkened: "Colonel! I'm a regiment commander anyway, can I give face?"
"I've already given you face, so let people check on the account, there are no outsiders here," Orson replied, "How about it? ”
Kevin remembers that he had attacked the poacher in the crotch with a magic missile, but he dodged it, only to hit the crotch. It's still a short time, and there may be bruises and something like that. Although it is inevitable that it can be removed by borrowing holy water, if it is really investigated so vigorously. There should also be controls on the priest's side, and it is possible to investigate the people who use the holy water.
However, Kevin didn't dare to do it himself, so he reported it to Colonel Orson first.
Orson did not hesitate: "Commander, please take off your pants!"
"You ......" Qianjue blushed and stood still.
"Regiment Commander, please cooperate with the investigation!" the subordinate officers on the side also opened their mouths to persuade.
Qianjue remained in place.
"Kevin, go up and pick up his pants!" Orson immediately ordered.
Kevin got the order, but cautiously reached for his belt. The other party clenched his fist, and a wind element gathered quickly, his face turned red, and he was obviously angry: "Mr. Colonel, it's a bit insulting for you to do this, right?"
Seeing that he didn't actually move, Kevin immediately gently untied his belt.
Bang! Everyone on the other side couldn't bear it anymore, and a whirlwind suddenly rose on their bodies, directly blowing Kevin aside. Kevin rolled on the spot and stood firm. Fortunately, the other party didn't dare to hurt people, just pushed away, otherwise Kevin would be in danger at this time.
The sergeants in the tent drew their swords together, and all the fighting spirit that burst out of their bodies was already orange, indicating that they were at least elite masters of the army. There are even a few who are already yellow and have reached the level of a level 6 warrior. The atmosphere of the scene was about to erupt.
"Kevin," Orson said, still sitting still, "went up and ripped off his pants." ”
Kevin took a deep breath and stepped forward again. I felt the surging magic power of the other party, and even a little suppressed, but I still mustered up the courage. Grab his pants and take them off to the bottom. Get a closer look at his sexy leg hair.
Qian Jue's whole body trembled, but he still remained still, and the magic elements gathered wildly, but he just didn't dare to release them. The two female mage soldiers on the side also watched, their faces a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to leave their eyes in the slightest. The battle in front of him is about to break out, where is there kung fu shy.
In a tense atmosphere, Kevin took a closer look, knocked his hipbone, pinched his buttocks, and then straightened up: "Sir, it's not him!"
"Well," Orson nodded, "help him put his pants on." ”
"Hmph! Qian Jue's fingers hooked, and the wind magic gathered on his pants, automatically lifted his pants, tied his belt, and left angrily.
Only then did Kevin deeply feel that the so-called great mercenary group was powerless in front of the regular army of the kingdom.
On this day, all the men of the two mercenary groups, a total of 323 people of medium stature, the women let the female mage on the side enter a separate tent for inspection, and only need to confirm the women to be released. Men are too tall, too short and too fat to be extreme, and everyone has to take off their pants. Because the head of the dream group is a woman, he finally escaped the catastrophe of taking off his pants. And because Locklock is a dwarf, the difference in stature is too big, so he doesn't need to think about it.
On this day, Kevin pinched a total of 323 buttocks, and since then he has developed a good habit of washing his hands before meals.
But the problem is that this day's investigation still did not find the poachers who besieged them at that time.
