Chapter 80: The Crow Who Learns to Spit It
As the night passed, the retired veterans had receded like a tide, and by the time he went out in the morning, Kevin clearly felt that there were at least a quarter fewer in number. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe originally neat queue is much sparser.
After three days, a new batch of recruits will be introduced. The recruits are almost all civilian children, most of them have never touched a sword, and they have not really touched combat, and their quality is much worse than Kevin's. Kevin's group were all children of nobles and directly became officers.
The new officers who came in the same group as Kevin were very happy at this time, and their status in the barracks was not only based on their rank, but also on their military age. Kevin's group of officers came in June, and it can be said that they are the youngest and least qualified people, even shallower than the previous recruits. Even if they were officers, most of their prestige was still clearly lacking.
And after the recruits came in, they finally returned a group of people who were younger than them in terms of rank and seniority, and they could reprimand them and train them as much as they wanted. Not only that, but the last recruits also had the same mood, the recruits became veterans are excited, and finally there is a group of newer soldiers than them, they can vent all the grievances, sorrows, and misery they received when they were recruits to the next recruits. And the next recruit will vent to the next recruit, and the cycle will never end, becoming one of the unique cultures of the army.
At this time, everyone in the army was already excitedly discussing similar matters, and the commanders were already walking around accommodating, trying to give their troops the best possible source of troops. And the general soldiers also began to discuss what to do after the recruits came, and it felt that it was no longer how to train the next recruits, but how to play with or torture the next recruits.
However, Kevin's mind at this time is completely not on this, and Kevin has no hope at all about how many recruits can be distributed. To be honest, he didn't even want the recruits to come over at this time, and it was foreseeable that even if the recruits who came over would inevitably be crooked melons and cracked dates, people who no one else wanted would be stuffed here. Now he can handle a catapult by himself, and the extra recruits still need him to train, which is even more troublesome.
On the contrary, if this crow can really be educated, its strength will definitely be better than a bunch of stunned recruits. Kevin has limited energy, so he can only focus on one side first. After the morning exercise, Kevin traveled directly to the capital through the teleportation point to find Professor Rook, the vice principal of Wang Li College. He decided to further the truth about the crow experiment, even if it was inconvenient for Kevin to say it clearly, but it should be a bit rewarding to knock on the side.
As for the crow, Kevin casually threw it into the house. Now I know that this house can't close it, it will open the window by itself, and it is probably no problem to open the door. Unless the planks come and nail the doors and windows, but that's a bit of an exaggeration.
Now that Kevin and the crow had not broken a piece of window paper, the crow obviously knew that it could not hide it, but it still chose to keep it, at least for this time. What his purpose was, what his conspiracy was, Kevin didn't know anything. But what is certain is that it must be a purpose.
At this point, Kevin will never make a blind optimistic estimate, nor will he just pretend to be stupid with him, thinking that a smart crow is good to follow, thinking that the crow is not guaranteed to eat three meals outside, and it is good to find a master to raise it? Kevin is not so naΓ―ve, the reason why this crow chose Kevin must have its considerations.
However, the vice president of Wang Li College is not something that can be seen if he wants to see him, even though Kevin has escorted him twice, both times he has repelled strong enemies, and received a letter of praise from the professor. But after all, there is a huge disparity in status, and at the level of the vice principal, even if other earls want to meet, they have to make an appointment, and sometimes they will refuse to meet depending on the situation.
Kevin was directly stopped by the doorman, he had neither official documents nor tasks, and a mere officer could not enter casually. The vice president is also a busy person, and he has to do research all day long, and if he can see it casually, the vice president will not be busy.
Kevin wasn't surprised, he just left a note first, saying that he wanted to meet with the vice principal. When the vice-principal gets off work, ask the doorman to hand it over. And Kevin will be back tomorrow and waiting for a reply.
Originally, Kevin also planned to stop by to visit the house of the Earl of Golyad, after all, he had been a tutor in it for a while, although the general did not allow it, and Kevin also sent a letter to apologize, but he has not received any response so far. Speaking of which, I haven't seen the Assassins for a while, and there is no news of what the Assassins have investigated, and Laulu is still in the cell of the Lebzier Kingdom, and I don't know what the situation is doing.
Kevin wanted to go to Little Spoon and ask, but he thought that the earl was too strong, and he hadn't done anything about it at the moment, so he didn't want to make more trouble.
It was already noon when I returned to the barracks the way I came. Pushing the door to see, there was no crow in sight, and Kevin still chuckled in his heart. The first time I checked the contents of the house, everything was normal in the house, the books were there, and it didn't seem to have stolen anything.
Two steps out of the door, look up to the sky and clap his hands twice, and beckoned the nearby parrot down: "Have you seen my crow? β
The parrot didn't even fly down, and threw down the phrase: "Oh, walking the dog over there." β
Kevin: "......"
Hurriedly ran to the cafeteria to take a look, and saw that the crow was frantically pulling the pug's tail again, and the pug pounced and beaten, but he couldn't even touch a single hair of the other party.
Kevin looked at it for a while, but he really didn't see what the purpose of the crow's move was, to exercise reflexes, to exercise physical strength, or just to have fun?
"Ahem! Come back. Kevin coughed dryly.
The crow stopped, turned his head to look at Kevin, left the pug and flew all the way to the top of Kevin's head, hovering incessantly, but not landing on Kevin. Obviously, after last night's incident, the crow was a little unsure of Kevin's intentions and kept his distance.
Kevin also expressed his understanding and took the crow all the way back to the house. Looking at the other bird cages in the house, Kevin casually released them all. Now that a crow of the highest intelligence has been confirmed, the other birds are no longer useful, and it will be easy to release it.
After the birds are released, there are still a lot of bird cages to wash, Kevin is not a wasteful person, even if it may be useless, he is used to keeping it first. Carrying a birdcage, I went all the way to the river and washed them one by one. The crow followed Kevin, flying quietly, neither near nor far away.
"Look at it," Kevin pulled out a birdcage, "it's all from you!"
Raven: "......"
"Can you wash it yourself later?" asked Kevin.
Raven: "......"
"If you can't, pull me out of sight," Kevin emphasized, "Don't pull in the house!"
Raven: "......"
Watching Kevin wash the bird cages one by one, the crows were a little bored on the side and began to flutter on the surface of the river, as if they saw the small fish in the river trying to prey. But even this high-intelligence crow never seemed to have done anything like it, making a splash and getting nothing out of it. The fish were frightened and all fled.
Kevin smiled: "The light is refracted and you can catch it directly from the shore, no matter how fast you are, you can't catch it." β
The crow flew back to shore, shaking its head incessantly, as if it was a little dazed. Kevin immediately reached into the water, and from the shore it looked as if his arm had been broken, which of course was the refraction of light.
"If you fish on shore, you need to calculate a certain amount of advance according to the position of both sides," Kevin seems to be teaching children, "There is specific data on this refractive index, and if you learn more, you can calculate it." But in general, it's all based on experience......"
Kevin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, you must know that the magic shield also has a certain refractive index, and Kevin once used the magic shield as a magnifying glass. And if it can be used reasonably in battle, using the refractive index of light, the opponent slashes with a knife, then it should be like catching a fish on the shore.
Moreover, the thickness, size, and orientation of the magic shield can be adjusted to a certain extent, so this tactic should be feasible! But why is Kevin familiar with various classics, but he has never seen this tactic?
Even when Kevin came out of the magic shield, one hand was placed behind the magic shield, adjusting the thickness of the various magic shields, and the hand behind the magic shield was bent a little because of the light, although the amplitude was very small. But if you can really understand the refraction situation thoroughly, then it should be of considerable help when facing the enemy. The master duel, the difference is thousands of miles, and the flower in front of you sees half of the wrong position, or even half of the smaller position, it is fatal!
Kevin tested it on the side for a moment, and the crow stared at it directly, Kevin didn't know how much it understood, but still asked, "Did you find it too?"
Raven: "Ahhhh......h
"This may be a new discovery," Kevin was excited, but still not overly optimistic, "but why hasn't anyone used a similar tactic, or has it not been accepted by the public? β
The crow stood calmly, as if thinking.
Kevin threw the birdcage: "Don't wash it, let's go!"
Many learned scholars or masters, once there is any new discovery or new progress, they will immediately throw away what they have at hand, throw away the rice bowl at dinner, dry the guests aside while entertaining, and go straight to work. Legend has it that in ancient times there was also a mathematician named Akimies, who discovered a new theorem and even ran out naked.
Although the mathematician later explained that he had a sudden inspiration in the bath, and it was passed down by many people as a good story. But logically, there must have been some embarrassing scenes at the time. For example, a mathematician ran halfway through and was beaten as a hooligan. For example, the mathematician ran halfway, and because he was too exposed, he was forcefully watched. For example, the mathematician ran halfway and was chased by the bathhouse scrubbers in the back, and after a beating, he left a sentence: "Do you want to pay for the bath?"
Of course, the above is just ridicule, and the truth is now unverifiable. But at least it shows that real academics are crazy, and Kevin just throws a birdcage, which is too normal.
Kevin took the crow out of the barracks this time and went all the way to the Saka City Library. Unfortunately, the crows were not allowed into the library. The library is a quiet place, what should I do if this kind of bird cries and around? Kevin had no choice but to signal the crow to wait outside and go in and check the materials by himself.
This check went directly to dinnertime. Kevin borrowed a few books about the battle and brought them back to the barracks to study.
According to the review, Kevin is indeed not the first person to think of similar tactics, which is theoretically feasible, but the applicability is too narrow. It is only useful when attacking from a single point or with a line attack, and is almost useless when attacking from an area. At the same time, the magic shield can't cover the whole body, the largest is only half of the body, even if the light is refracted at a special angle, a special position. At the same time, the enemy sees himself as refractive, and he also looks at the enemy as refractive, which requires a lot of time to train and treacherous.
Many books believe that this tactic has little effect, but it is extremely cumbersome to practice, and that magicians should consider the use of high-level spells, powerful mana, light refraction, etc., which are not mainstream. And it is destined to be only a low-level tactic, and when it comes to a high-level master, it is basically not by the eyes to judge the enemy's position, and light refraction and the like are useless.
However, in these works, there is no specific optical analysis, how much magic power, what shape of magic shield refractive index, and so on. Kevin speculates that the authors of these books are all magicians and are not good at melee combat, so they can't analyze them in detail, and given their combat habits, they are indeed not suitable for them.
But Kevin, who is currently a Demon Martial Dual Cultivator, feels that it is worth a try. At present, he already has a more convenient tactic against mages, and he is familiar with the elemental points of low- and medium-level spells. But against the warriors, they can still only fight hard with swords. If the research can be successful, it will obviously be more comprehensive.
Of course, this research takes time, and this is not something that can be learned by patting his head, but Kevin is willing to do research anyway when he has time. And even if the research fails, Kevin thinks it would be nice to at least let his protagonist learn these kinds of tricks.
At the same time, Kevin has not forgotten that he has not finished studying the catapult, and with the way the crow grabs the stone bullet and controls it accurately, with the current ability of this crow, there should be no problem, but it also needs to be tested and improved. And first of all it has to be willing.
The more research topics he studied, the more fulfilling he felt. But even so, in the evening, Kevin took the crows into the city. I found a tavern at random, pushed the door in.
Kevin decides that whatever Raven's shady past may be, he needs to give it something positive. In this regard, people should be similar to birds, and the environment largely determines the personality of people, if Kevin can show the crow his glorious personality, then maybe the crow may be able to untie the knot.
In the tavern, a bearded bard was still speaking: "...... Another great move to destroy the world, another world was destroyed, and the billions of beings in the world were destroyed, Rex looked up and sighed, 'Why? Why did you force me?'......"
The speech stopped dumbfounded, as he saw Kevin come in. Kevin knew him, the bearded bard had sprayed him, and most of the drunkards in Saka City knew Kevin. As soon as I saw him come in, I couldn't help but be shocked, are we going to start spraying each other again today?
The bearded poet's face was pale, and he knew that something was wrong today, but he still preemptively attacked: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to ......," Kevin muttered for a moment, "to show some charisma." β
Bearded poet: "......"
The crow suddenly flew above the other party's head and circled three times: "Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
"Oh?" Kevin was surprised, "I didn't expect my crow to have a spit function, but I don't know how to grasp the slot." β
Bearded poet: "......"
After flying three times, the crow automatically flew to the side of the counter and watched everyone quietly.
"That's enough!" the bearded man calmed down, "I admit I'm not talking about fine art, but the art of fast food is also art." "The Legend of Rex" is not a novel banned in the mainland, of course I can talk about it. β
"I haven't said anything yet. Kevin laughed.
"And what are you doing here?" the bearded man frowned.
"We can discuss the pros and cons of Rex. Kevin laughed.
The bearded man opened his mouth to say something, but immediately closed his mouth. If you want to talk about the advantages at this time, you will inevitably be sprayed by Kevin for nothing. It's better to wait and see.
Kevin continued, "What's the matter? Can't you even discuss the content of your own speech?"
The bearded man was slightly embarrassed and hesitated.
"Then let me tell you," Kevin said, "'The Legend of Rex' is easy to understand, hot-blooded, exciting, the world is grand, and it can easily resonate with a large number of people, even if you already know its routines, you are still intoxicated by it." That's part of its success. β
The tavern nodded frequently, and they all felt that this person had a level. And that bearded man didn't even dare to say about his merits, which seemed to be a little worse.
"Then I talked about the pros, and you talked about the disadvantages. Kevin interfaced himself and threw the question to the other party.
With a beard and a black face, he couldn't say that his novels had no shortcomings, so he could only say stubbornly: "This is more popular." It's more routine. Well, that's all. β
"You're wrong, it's popular, it's routine, it's nothing," Kevin shook his head, "The most important thing is the protagonist himself." Rex is actually an extremely selfish person. β
"Hahaha," laughed the bearded man, "Rex is selfish? β
Everyone in the tavern also nodded, after all, this novel has a high circulation, and many people have heard it more than once. Many people bring the protagonist into themselves, and now others say that the protagonist is selfish, which is equivalent to saying that he is average, and it is difficult to accept it for a while.
Kevin just smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a crow flew above his head and circled three times: "Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
Kevin: "......"
"If you can't grasp the groove, just shut up for me!" Kevin warned Raven.
