Chapter 82: Meet the Vice Chancellor
The fact that the crow has this ability is also an unexpected surprise for Kevin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info going to the tavern in the future is also considered an extra combat power, which is undoubtedly a disaster for other bards. But Kevin won't feel the slightest sense of guilt, bards originally have the word "travel", and traveling around is the real bard, you can't get along here, it's a big deal to change places. Kevin is just stronger in this regard, is being strong also a sin?
But for now, Kevin's main job is still a soldier, and the bard is still a side hustle. Kevin would never trust crows easily. Kevin has not signed a contract with it so far, which in itself is a precaution. Giving a speech and amusing the crow is only a way to enhance the relationship, and as for the specific effect, you can only do your best.
The next day, Kevin returns to the Royal Academy and tries to meet with Vice Principal Rook. Yesterday I left a note for the doorman to relay. Thankfully, today the doorman told the professor that he has been fine lately, and that you can go in when you come.
Kevin hurriedly thanked him, then asked for the location of the office, and immediately walked away.
The Vice-Chancellor's Office is located in a separate three-storey building, which is the heart of the Wangli College, where other important figures such as the President and Vice Chancellor are located. There was a security guard at the door, and even though Kevin had been to the Royal Academy many times, he was never allowed to enter.
But today, since the vice-chancellor agrees, it is naturally an exception. The elements of the building are obviously much more abundant than the outside world, and there is even a visible glow in some places, there is a hall in the middle, and there are several huge steel rings in the center of the hall that are dislocated and stacked into a spatial geometric pattern, Kevin doesn't know if this is an art sculpture or a magic array, but he just thinks it's very high-end.
Looking at the sign on the door, Kevin went all the way to the office of Vice Principal Rook, knocked on the door, and came from inside the door: "Come in." ”
Kevin pushed the door open, and the office was very furnished, with desks piled high with papers, and the walls were filled with some unknown magic paraphernalia, and the skulls of some beasts. There is a cabinet on the side of the wall with some animal specimens. Among them was a specimen of a crow, but no specimen of a parrot.
"Vice Principal," Kevin greeted, "it's me." ”
Professor Rooker seemed to be still immersed in his book, and when he heard the voice, he looked up and was a little surprised: "Oh, it's Kevin, come, sit." He gestured to the couch next to him.
Kevin sat down and said politely, "I'm sorry to disturb the professor, but I'm not really serious." ”
"It's all right," replied the professor, "Kevin is an acquaintance, and I told the doorman that if I want to come in later, just make a registration." ”
"That's a thank you. Kevin smiled, and then pulled the conversation to the point, "Actually, this time, the main reason is that I have encountered some strange things recently. I'd like to ask the professor. ”
"Oh, tell me?"
"I've been raising birds lately, and I wanted to ask how other birds would react if they ate the current feed for military parrots?" Kevin asked.
The professor shook his head: "There are many kinds of feed for parrots, and if you give a general parrot enlightenment, the feed will be different at each stage. Some can't be eaten indiscriminately, but some don't matter. ”
"Oh. Kevin nodded.
"However, the feed that has been formed for parrots can basically be given to any bird, and there is no problem. "But the feed that young parrots eat must not be given to other birds, and the military should strictly control them." Otherwise, I'm afraid something will happen. ”
Kevin nodded in understanding.
"In fact, after the appearance of the military parrot, many mages who raise birds, and even mages who raise various other animals and even magical beasts have come to me. They all wanted me to help these pets improve their intelligence, and these things made it difficult for me to do so. The professor shook his head, "There are some mid-to-high-level magical beasts, I can barely agree, but ordinary animals, I refuse all of them." ”
"Not to mention the technical difficulties, if the research is successful, can you imagine what it will be like if all animals have the intelligence of humans? Will cattle, horses, and sheep still be willing to work for humans? Will they rebel? Will they also have some outstanding genius and lead them all the way to prosperity?" the professor shook his head, "The human race, including other races on the continent, can have the scale that they have today, and wisdom is the main factor. With wisdom, there will be creation, inheritance, and learning from the experience of predecessors, so that it will become stronger and stronger. ”
Kevin interjected casually: "Even cattle, sheep and horses have people who want to be wise?"
The professor smiled: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, your Thunder Knights, General Oude, came over and wanted me to help his mount enlighten." But in the end, I refused. ”
Kevin was slightly startled, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Many mages will tell me that I will definitely watch my pet, it will be my pet until it dies, it will not go out and mess around, and some even say that it has been castrated," the professor began to talk more, "but I still refused, this thing can't start, once it starts, it will inevitably be uncontrollable." ”
"It's not a big problem with a mid-to-high-level Warcraft, because its reproductive ability is also low, and it has quite a lot of wisdom in itself, so it's not a big problem to improve a little. Moreover, the control of mid- and high-level demonic beasts is also much stronger than that of ordinary beasts. The professor replied, "But the beast is different, and the result of enlightenment is beyond the reach of society at present. Not to mention other animals, there are also many problems with the current parrots. The most obvious is the issue of decommissioning. ”
"I don't dare to retire them now, but after all, they are already intelligent creatures and have their own minds. They will think that we can't retire because of who can retire? Why are we inferior to people? All kinds of ethnic groups on the mainland have their minds, so the history of the mainland is almost a history of war. If the parrot never retires," the professor paused, paused for a moment, and stopped the conversation, "Forget it, no more." ”
Kevin nodded: "So there are no specimens of parrots here, and there is a similar reason, right?"
"There used to be, but now it's hidden. The professor replied.
Kevin looked at the specimen of the crow and was half silent. Even if Kevin and Crow have only been in a relationship for a long time, they are still a little embarrassed to see other crow specimens at this time. What would a crow think if it came and saw it on its own? It is said that even a crow would give a funeral to its companion and remember the person who killed it.
"I'll just ask, what if there really was an animal that suddenly became enlightened on its own?" Kevin asked.
The professor laughed: "Usually people who ask this question want to steal feed from parrots and then give their own pets to eat. ”
Kevin was embarrassed: "I'm just asking." ”
"Then I will answer you, generally speaking, it is impossible," replied the professor, "and you should not think that the wisdom of a parrot is a very simple matter, and it is not just about eating. There are some things we can't reveal. Of course, the descendants who have already enlightened their minds are relatively likely to be enlightened directly. ”
"But in any case, if there is an abnormal enlightenment, it is best to bring it immediately and deal with it for us. The professor replied.
Kevin nodded, his expression very casual, as if he was really casually asking this question. Then Kevin changed the topic and asked about the follow-up of the dynamic map of gorilla mating at that time, and also asked if there were any academic problems solved, whether he got how much money he received, and so on.
Kevin tried his best to lead the topic to money, so that the professor felt that Kevin had come all the way to ask for money. In fact, this is mainly to hide Kevin's true purpose, if he leaves after asking the crow, no matter how vague the question is, the professor will inevitably not suspect it. A person who runs for no reason must have a purpose, and Kevin can only give the professor a purpose to ask for money.
The professor didn't really mind that. This is understandable, and after all, Kevin has successfully escorted the professor twice, and the professor is also generous, and immediately promised that if he goes on the next mission, he will definitely let Kevin escort him again. Although Kevin's escort went wrong on both occasions, it was solved perfectly after all. And the second time the two Smecta masters, even if other mercenary groups are dispatched, I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that they are comprehensive.
At the same time, the professor gave Kevin a cup of the same type that the gorilla used as a urinal, and it is said that when the students heard that the professor had lost it, they gave another one. It can also bless the fighting spirit, and then shine.
Although this cup is said to be used for general purposes only to drink water, it is exquisitely crafted and contains a magic circle, which is also a good handicraft.
Of course, Kevin was pleased, and even suggested that the "urinal" used by the original gorilla was still there? At that time, Kevin flickered for the urinal war, and let the Smida master throw it high many times, which eventually attracted the rescue team. He thinks that the intensity of this glow is good, at least it can be installed on the front end of the catapult and used as a headlight.
Of course, Rook didn't have a problem, and took out the tattered "urinal" from the bottom of the cabinet, although it had been washed and the smell had been removed, the bottom of the cup was still cracked, and there was no other use than glowing.
Kevin gladly took it, then took two cups and said goodbye to the professor.
Back in the barracks, it was noon, and after lunch, Kevin went to look for his crow again. After being told that it teased the pug again, Kevin can now see that the pug's strength is far inferior to that of the crow, even if it is practiced, it will not help the crow, and it will not worry about eating. It teases the pug, and it's just fun.
"Let's go, it's time for us to train!" Kevin beckoned to the crow. At this time, the crow was no longer afraid of Kevin, and immediately left the pug and flew on Kevin's shoulder.
Pulling out the catapult, Kevin finally began testing the conformation he had been doing all along. First, pull the car into an open field, and then about 300 meters ahead, poke a scarecrow. Now in December, the ground is open, the view is endless, and the lonely scarecrow is particularly conspicuous.
Kevin retreated to the catapult, adjusted the angle distance, pulled up the counterweight, then placed one shoe in the bomb bowl, turned to the crow and said, "You should understand the way I said it." There will definitely be some trouble, but it's okay, we have time, we can experiment slowly. ”
"Ah...... Ah......" the crow chirped.
"Okay, grab your shoes, aim at the scarecrow's head, get on. Kevin gestured to his shoes, "You can only figure out the tricks in between." Come on. ”
The crow slowly came out of the shoe, tried it with his paws, and after changing a few positions, it was finally hooked. Kevin immediately spoke: "Ready, 3!2!1!launch!"
Kevin pulled the wrench and threw his arm, and the crow grabbed his shoes and flew out quickly, taking them off in mid-air. But unfortunately, the shoe just flew over the scarecrow's head and smashed to the ground.
Kevin applauded instead: "Good job, just work hard." ”
"Ah...... Ah......h
"There's definitely a lot of problems with a new technology, and that's normal," Kevin encouraged it, "If you're going to be precise, maybe the closer you put your paws, the more accurate they are." But there's a catch, if you get too close to the enemy, you're bound to be attacked by the enemy. It's up to you how to grasp this. ”
"If you can practice it, it must be a strong tactical achievement," Kevin replied, "Let's practice throwing shoes first, and when the shoes are proficient, we will throw stone bullets, and after the stone bullets are about the same, the other bullets are estimated to be fine, because stone bullets are the heaviest." ”
"Ah...... Ah......h Immediately take out your shoes again and start regular training.
This practice continued until the evening, and the crow practiced very seriously from beginning to end, and the progress was very obvious, and by the end of the afternoon, the crow had been able to shoot twice out of three. Kevin had been encouraging it as well, but he couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of the specimen crow in the professor's office.
"By the way, I haven't named you yet?" Kevin will also let it rest for a while and talk about the rest, "What do you want to call it?"
The raven stood still and did not answer.
"Why don't you call you Deathwings?" asked Kevin, "or...... The Nameless, the Death Starter in the Darkness or something. ”
Raven: "......"
In the end, Kevin still didn't name it, and decided to wait until it had to say its own name. At the same time, Kevin also took off the "unqualified 6" label on his foot and replaced it with a red label with a "k" on it. K is Kevin's own pen name, which also means that the crow is his own.
In the evening, Kevin still takes the crow to the tavern, and today he will change to a tavern. There are still people who try to fight Kevin, but they are still defeated by Kevin and the Raven. Then let the crows perform a few shows at random, and they won the applause of the whole house.
Two days passed like this, training during the day and going to the tavern in the evening. With the crow throwing shoes almost hitting about 90% of the time, Kevin decided to try a replacement stone projectile. However, the stone bullet is not slippery, it cannot be grasped, and the weight is heavy, and the stone bullet will roll when it is thrown. This is no lighter than shoes, shoes, the crow can be forcibly stabilized, and the stone bullet is heavy, even if a groove is added to it, once it rolls up, it will roll with the crow. Kevin is also thinking about how to improve.
At the same time, today will be the time for new recruits to join the army, and a large group of young people have gathered at the gate of the barracks, at this time they are still looking at the barracks curiously, and are full of anticipation for their military careers.
At the camp gate, Kevin even saw Starter selling books. Kevin was surprised and went up to answer, "The barracks are allowed to sell your books?"
"Just go through the audit. Stadt replied, "It's all a business opportunity, you don't understand." ”
Kevin was surprised for a moment, and then asked, "Then when will my book come in." ”
"Oh," Start nodded, "it's coming." ”
