Chapter 48: Back to the barracks
"You seem to have revealed a lot of things?" the president looked at Little Spoon and Little Jiu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both of them bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Go back and clean you up. The president didn't talk nonsense, just waved his hand and turned to look at Kevin.
Kevin felt that the other party was looking at him, and out of politeness, he also nodded in greeting: "President." ”
"Kevin, because of the lack of reflection," the president walked up to Kevin, "the resident ambassador has sent a message, and I know that you have helped a lot this time. ”
Kevin laughed dryly, not daring to talk nonsense, and dealing with it carefully. It stands to reason that most of the people who sent assassins because they were writing about eating were stingy, and those who were stingy needed to be very careful. Don't say a wrong word, and touch his taboo, he wants to kill people at this moment, and no one can stop him.
"Judging from the information given by the ambassador, you seem to be an arrogant person, but for now, you still know how to advance and retreat and etiquette. The president looked Kevin up and down.
Kevin still nodded and smiled.
"Alright, not much more. Our department has a certain amount of secrecy, and I hope you will keep your mouth shut," the president reminded the two of them, "We are in a state of linkage with the barracks, and we are also an independent department within the barracks. To reveal our existence would be tantamount to divulging military secrets. What are the consequences? You should be aware. ”
"Yes!" both Kevin and Jack subconsciously straightened up.
"Alright, I'm leaving, and you continue back to the city. The chairman raised his hand and waved, and the person disappeared directly, and Kevin and Jack were shocked.
Xiao Spoon and Xiao Jiu glanced at each other, turned their heads and said to Kevin, "We're going to go first." ”
"Well, not all the way?" said Kevin, surprised.
"No," Little Spoon shook his head, "let's go the other way back." ”
Kevin was stunned: "You don't want to go back to save Laulu, do you?"
The two immediately shook their heads: "Of course not, it's just that we assassins have some rules." I'll tell you when I have a chance. ”
Kevin and Jack just nodded ignorantly.
"Goodbye then!" the little spoon waved his hand, "Mr. Author, I will read your book carefully, since the last time I read your draft, it seems that there has been no new one?"
Kevin smiled wryly: "I have to adapt to my new life, not to mention that my editor is also in the barracks." ”
"Well, anyway, I'll wait for you!" Little Spoon smiled at Kevin, and randomly turned away with Xiao Jiu, and the two assassins ran quickly, and in a moment only two black shadows remained.
"Ahem!" suddenly there were two more coughs on the ground. Kevin and Jack couldn't help but be shocked, almost all the men in black were blown out of their heads and died, could it be that there was still a leak just now?
When I looked closely, I saw that it was the coachman just now. At first, the coachman was hit by an arrow and fell, and the horse was frightened, so Jack cut off the carriage connection and started the fight, which lasted until the end of the fight, and the coachman was still alive. Just lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.
Kevin picked up the coachman, but saw that he was only hit by an arrow in his left arm, but the arrow pierced through his big arm, which was quite serious.
"It's so unlucky," the coachman shook his head repeatedly, "and it was robbed before it reached Lou Baole Country." "The expression was very painful, after all, it was an arrow.
Kevin and Jack just looked at each other, both disdainful in their hearts.
"Alas, Lou Baole is too dangerous, you better go by yourself, my horses have run away, and I can't send you. The driver shook his head, looked at the half-section of the carriage and was worried, but finally sighed and walked away on foot. A person holding his arm, not daring to pull out the arrow, just walked back step by step, the surroundings were desolate, this figure was really desolate.
Kevin turned his head to look at Jack, and saw that Jack was still staring at the coachman.
"Don't you think it's asymmetrical and want to poke an arrow into his right arm?" Kevin couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not!" Jack was also startled, "I haven't gotten compulsive to this point. ”
"And you're still staring at other people?" Kevin teased.
"Well, I just think, how can there be such a big difference in intelligence in the same human being?" Jack shook his head.
"It's normal, foolish policy," Kevin said, "if the people are all smart, who will listen to the ruler? The people below are too smart, and the position of the ruler will be lost sooner or later. ”
"It is not possible for a ruler to rule all the people of the country alone, he must appoint all kinds of officials, then the ability of the officials must be lower than that of the ruler, and the officials must also ensure that the lower officials are less competent in order to manage the lower officials. Descending from the ranks, the civilians at the bottom are naturally the stupidest and the most incompetent. Kevin replied, "At least in the country of Labozier." ”
"Is that what makes a small country a small country?" asked Jack subconsciously.
"Not all," laughed Kevin, "every king wants his kingdom to be vast and rich. Many kings of small countries have made great efforts, but with little success, and the big reason why small countries are still small countries is that big countries no longer want big countries to appear on the mainland. ”
Jack was silent for a long time, a little dazed.
Kevin didn't want to talk about this topic too much, if he did, it would have to be more than half a day. Standing by the pile of corpses, I was not in the mood.
"They're pretty good weapons," Kevin crouched down and touched them, "Do you want to bring them back?"
Jack frowned, the plasma on the ground was actually disgusting, and he didn't really want to reach out, but seeing that Kevin didn't mind, he didn't want to be flattened by him, so he also squatted down to check: "It's really good, it's a grade higher than the standard weapons in our barracks." But how do we bring it back? Just one or two?"
Kevin stood up and patted the broken car, "Shall we pull the car?"
"This ......," Jack hesitated for a moment, a little too lazy to move on a hot day, "I can have my parrot call someone to pick us up." ”
"It's a little thing we can do ourselves. Kevin objected, "And you know what's going on? You let someone else pick us up, and the credit is divided. ”
"Makes sense!" Jack nodded hurriedly. As soon as they heard the credit, everyone was refreshed for a moment.
The two of them immediately picked up swords and shields from the ground, stacked them on the carriage, and obtained a total of 20 swords, shields, bows, and a number of arrows, which showed that this was the standard equipment of these men in black. But after loading, they felt that there was still a lot of room in the carriage, and both of them felt that this credit was not commendable, so they took off their inner armor again.
The inner armor of these people seems to be woven from the scales of a certain demonic beast, and the texture is not bad. 20 pieces of inner armor finally filled the entire carriage, and Kevin also carefully took off the pants and shoes of several people, checked the quality of the other party's pants, and found that it was very average, so he gave up.
The two tied ropes to themselves and pulled the cart forward on their own. Leaving behind a flock of headless bare-ass corpses, it attracts a flock of crows in a moment.
One of them flew over Kevin's head, flying back and forth, screaming and screaming.
The two pulled the cart halfway and sweated, Kevin and Jack both took off their shirts, then tied them around their waists and rested for a while. And the crow above was still flying around.
"What is it doing?" asked Kevin, looking up.
"I don't know, if my parrot is here, they should still be able to communicate with each other. Jack replied, "It's not very lucky for a crow to fly overhead." ”
"Don't say that," Kevin was optimistic, "the crows are flying overhead, maybe they're just complaining about us." ”
Jack: "......"
The two rested for a while, and then began to pull the cart on foot again. Originally, the ambassador warned them to return home as soon as possible, but now that the other assassin has come out, most of them will not come back. The two of them were also relieved to pull the cart, and the key point was that the Assassin Guild was obviously on their side, and they were probably already in trouble at this time.
After a short break, the two continued to pull the cart, which went straight to the evening. The sweat on the two of them broke out again and again, and fortunately, the carriages had water. Although both of them are mages, they are both soldiers, and their basic qualities are qualified, and although they are tired of pulling a cart, they have survived.
Watching the towering city wall get deeper and deeper, both of them had different emotions flowing in their hearts, and they finally arrived home.
The guards at the city gate came out to check and greet them, and the two reported their identities and proudly said that they had captured a pile of booty. The guards were also amazed and immediately reported it to the commander of the garrison. The commander himself came to meet them, counted and inspected the booty, and said that he would definitely give them two meritorious deeds.
That night, Kevin slept at the wall guard, after all, a bunch of things were seized and he needed to be questioned. But Kevin has a clear conscience and is not afraid of being asked.
I slept until dawn, I felt refreshed, and I hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and I really rested with peace of mind. Don't worry about assassinations, don't worry about trying to find a way to counter your opponent, don't worry about who will come to get you on the way, and don't have to listen to a bunch of mentally retarded people talking in their ears, this is Kevin's country.
The next morning, Kevin and Jack came down from the walls, and they said goodbye to each other, returning to their respective barracks.
It is said that the recruit drill in the barracks has only started now, and some time ago they have been searching all kinds of mercenaries and mercenary families, which is equivalent to taking the opportunity to sort out and register the mercenaries again, even if the news from Kevin's side, they have not stopped.
Mercenaries have always been a source of chaos, and if they can take the opportunity to rectify it, it will be greatly beneficial to the peace of the main city. Of course, doing these things, Sain and a few others can't escape, even if they know that the real murderer is no longer here, they must let him recognize him one by one, maybe he still can't recognize the mercenaries in the whole city in the future, but the mercenaries in the whole city will definitely recognize him.
Walking all the way back to the 254th Legion, to which Kevin originally belonged, he saw that the barracks were almost empty except for the sentry guards. There were several luxurious carriages parked at the door, and I don't know which dignitary was coming.
After asking, I learned that everyone had gathered in the playground to watch this year's recruit drill.
The recruit drill is a relatively important activity for the recruits, and it is related to the unit to which the recruits are assigned in the future. Kevin immediately returned to his barracks, changed into a military uniform, and then hurried to the playground.
On the playground, all the veterans sat and watched, and the recruits all stood in the queue, and there were several general-level figures on the stage. Kevin, a new recruit, watched from the door, and was a little afraid to go in. Wouldn't this reckless intrusion be too abrupt?
Starter and other old friends in front of him were also in the queue, and they didn't see Kevin. There was an old general review, and everyone did not squint, showing a military posture.
In the middle of the playground, Sain stood alone, and two soldiers fell on the side, seemingly in a joust. Suddenly, Sain laughed, "Come on, who's going to beat me? I can call him grandpa?" ha!"
Kevin: "......"
