In the early morning of the third day of negotiations, Kevin finally made up his mind and asked the general for his life: "It is very difficult for Stadt to negotiate alone inside, and I ask to go in and help." The other party already needs the general's letter of commitment, etc., and I can use the excuse of bringing the general's document in to enter the negotiation. β
As soon as these words came out, the three strong men were a little surprised. General Bright and Count Gouled looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding. And General Oude still kept a straight face.
"What are you going to do now, can you change anything?" said Oder, whose face was expressionless.
"Do your best," Kevin replied, "The battlefield is like a gamble, and it's possible to win or lose." β
The general looked at Kevin, and after a moment, he said, "What do you need to prepare?"
Kevin replied: "Since it is a document sent to the general as a reason, this document is naturally needed. At the same time, I'm going to borrow two history books from the library, and I'm going to go to the market to see if there's something useful. Scheduled departure in the evening. β
"What more do you want?" the general said directly, looking at what he meant, as if Kevin would give him whatever he wanted at this time.
Kevin smiled: "If the general is willing, he can use the conch to save the sound, and say a paragraph to save it, so that I can be more convincing in the past." (The conch sound originates from some seaside legends, which say that a strange conch was picked up by the seashore and the song could be heard in the ear, so it evolved into a poignant love story.) Later, the mages studied it carefully, and did find that some kind of rare conch could preserve some sounds. For this purpose, the mages processed the conch, which also made it a type of phonograph apparatus.)
Of course, this kind of conch is the toy of high-end aristocrats, and a commoner like Kevin has never seen it, and he only knows it because he has read a lot of books. But civilians don't have it, and there is no reason for Juggernauts and the like.
The three sword saints glanced at each other, and Count Goud directly took out a conch from the space ring, at least the size of his head, with gorgeous blue patterns, embedded with small spars and magic patterns, obviously high-end goods: "Here, if you don't have it, use this." β
The general didn't pick it up, but took out a red conch from his ring and asked Kevin, "What do you want me to say?"
"The bandit asks the general to promise to release them, and the general just repeats the promise," Kevin replied, "and swears in the name of God." β
"Does it have to be like this?" General Oude frowned.
"Of course, otherwise how would the bandits believe that the general would really let them go?" Kevin replied, "This is the fundamental condition, if this is not agreed, then not to mention that the mastermind behind the scenes can't fool around, even the bandits can't fool away." β
General Oude pinched the conch and hesitated for a while, and no one present urged him. After a moment of silence, General Oude made up his mind and pointed the conch mouth to his mouth: "I am the current leader of the Thunder Knights, General Oude, and I swear in the name of the God of Light that I will no longer hold the bandits accountable for the rebellion, so as to redeem all the prisoners of the Thunder Knights." β
The conch will automatically record the sound of the neighboring place, and when the conch is placed in the ear, the mental power will be repeated. In fact, you can hear it without urging spiritual power, but the sound is smaller.
"Alright?" the general put the conch back on the table.
"General, no one will believe an oath like yours," Kevin was helpless, "If you break it, what will be the consequences?"
"I've said nothing in my life, and breaking my oath is enough to discredit me," General Oude was slightly unhappy, "what else do you want?"
"But it's not enough for General Oude to let the bandits go by himself," Kevin had to dig deeper, "and General Bright on the side, and other generals." This is completely unreassuring for the bandits. General, you must at least say that you are responsible on behalf of the military, not just the Knights of Thunder. β
"Okay," General Oude reluctantly took back the conch and changed the oath again.
"Still no, General, do you believe in the God of Light?" Kevin picked again, "If you don't believe in the God of Light, then this oath is useless." β
"I believe in the God of Light!" General Oude couldn't help but emphasize.
"You believe in the God of Light, but the oath of the God of Light is not like this. Kevin had to pick and choose......
The two went back and forth for a long time, the oath was changed and changed, and when the general looked at him and was about to be angry, Kevin finally nodded: "Then that's it, it should be okay." β
The general casually threw the conch to him, and Kevin caught it with both hands. The general spoke: "I will give you three days, and at this time after three days, I will personally launch an attack, don't blame me for leaving no room for it." β
"Okay," Kevin nodded, taking out a letter from his pocket, "This is my suicide note, the battlefield is like a gamble, and no one knows if they will come back alive." If I can't come back, then give this suicide note to my mother, and if I do, give it back to me. β
The general nodded and took it casually.
"Then I'll go. Kevin saluted the three Sword Saints, and the three returned the salute. Then he turned around and went out, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, why did no one say anything about heroes and heroes when he went out on his own expedition.
As soon as Kevin left here, the three Sword Saints also got together, and Gulaid took Kevin's suicide note and pinched it: "So thin? It doesn't feel like it was written by a bard?"
The three of them all felt strange, according to common sense, this author wrote a suicide note, sadness came from it, blood and tears, how could he have two or three pages, so it felt like a piece of paper?
"Open it up?" Count Gouled suggested, and the other two did not object. So with a slight stroke of the fingernail, the glue of the envelope was cut, and only the glue was cut without damaging the envelope paper, which was extremely accurate. It can only be said that the Assassin Guild opened the envelope, which was enough to leave no traces.
Taking out the letterhead, the three sword saints came up to take a look, but saw that there was only one sentence on the paper: "Alas! I was going to make a joke for the bandits, but I was actually pitted, sorryββ Kevin lost his pen because of the lack of thought." β
Three Juggernauts: "......"
At this time, Kevin was already carrying a small bag and running towards the teleportation array, and there were also rental carriages nearby, although he asked for a small amount of money, but it was no longer a matter of money at this time. All the way, constantly urging the groom to hurry up, and finally came to the teleportation array of Saka City, and directly entered the teleportation to the capital.
Although there are crows to help, Kevin is still a little uneasy in his heart, thinking back to his friends, in addition to crows, those assassins should also be a powerful help. It's just that the assassins are wandering and don't know where to look for them, and Kevin only knows that one of the most lame assassins has been burning a fire in Count Goolaid's house.
Familiar with the way to find the little spoon, the housekeeper and the doorman here are also acquaintances, Kevin has come to be a tutor, everyone knows each other. When Kevin said that he was looking for a fire girl, everyone didn't stop him, so he said you should go in and find it.
However, when I really wanted to find someone, I couldn't find anyone. I asked this person and said that she was chopping wood, but I couldn't find it near the pyre, and then I asked someone and said that I saw her just now, but I don't know now. Some people say she probably went to the toilet, some people say she didn't go out? Some people say she really went out?
Kevin was at a loss, time was pressing, and Kevin didn't dare to stay any longer, intending to give up. But just a few steps out, I suddenly felt a flicker in front of my eyes, and someone pulled me directly into a small alley. Kevin had no intention of resisting for a moment, because this power was not something he could resist.
"Who are you?" Kevin asked, the man in front of him with his back to Kevin, wrapped in a large cloak, obviously not a small spoon, and probably some high-ranking assassin.
"I can't tell you who I am, you're here to find the little spoon, right?" The other man's voice was hoarse, as if he had said it on purpose, and the sound quality was neutral, Kevin could barely tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Yes," Kevin didn't talk much nonsense, "I'm in big trouble and came to ask for help." I'm going to break into a bandit's lair, and I hope there's something I can do to insure myself. "Time is really pressing, just believe him once, this assassin should also mean to help.
"What means do you want?" the other asked.
"Saving your life. Kevin replied, "Whoever can delay a little bit can confuse the opponent." "As long as it drags on for a while, the crow tells the Juggernaut about the entrance, then entering through the entrance may be able to avoid the tragedy of all crushing down below. But it also takes time to enter through the entrance, and how to ensure that you will not be killed by the thieves in anger at this time is a problem, and there is no place to defend in the cave.
Suddenly, the ground at Kevin's feet drilled out of the ground, nodded at Kevin, and then quickly burrowed underneath, and the hole filled in as if it had never appeared.
Kevin was stunned, of course he remembered this dirt slope rat. Once, when facing the Smitter master, this dirt slope rat twice drilled out of the ground and shot the Smitter master in the crotch with a small crossbow arrow, defeating the opponent. At that time, many speculations did not know where this soil slope rat came from, but they did not expect it to appear at this time.
Kevin hurriedly looked up and wanted to say something of thanks, but the other party was gone, and when he turned his head to look around, he was the only one left in the alley.
Finally getting used to the elusiveness of the assassins, Kevin immediately rushed back, through the teleportation array, and then borrowed a few books from the nearby library, and as for the time when he was too late to visit the market, he rushed all the way back to the outside of the Carudia Hills, it was just evening.
Take a deep breath, put on that blue cloak, take care of yourself handsomely, chew the jerky and go inside, sometimes if you are in a hurry, even the emotion will be omitted. The raven's message came to his head: "The negotiations are basically the same, but Starter has found some breakthroughs, and he is telling stories to the bandits, and it is said that they all want to hear it." β
"What is he talking about? Rex?" asked.
"Like," replied the crow, "it is normal for them to tell them first what they like to hear." β
"If that's the case, it's my job. Kevin had a point in his mind.
"Old man, you're not going to use it like a tavern and squirt Statt like a normal bard, are you?" asked the crow, Kevin and the crow frequented the tavern and Kevin had seen it many times.
"There are a lot of options, it depends. Kevin replied.
A moment later, Kevin had already noticed that there were quite a few burn marks here, and the pieces were clearly man-made. Kevin squatted down to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Drunken fragrant wood?"
Drunken fragrant wood is a high-grade wood of the elf clan, ordinary people don't know it but can't hide it from Kevin, but this is supposed to be an elven thing, and it is already difficult for others to have one or two pieces in their hands, and it is said that the elf clan and the Ryan Empire are not harmonious and fear each other. If it's three or five pieces, maybe the Lane Empire stole it, but such a large area was burned to smoke down a brigade, which is a bit of a problem.
Could it be that there are still elves behind this scene who are muddying the waters? Kevin, as a half-elven half-blood, can't help but be a little embarrassed, and I'm afraid that there are still a lot of things that I don't know about this shady scene.
But now that he knows the other party's methods, Kevin is no longer panicked, and he yells like Statt: "The negotiation is coming!" and then went back to the cave to sleep, the bed was directly made by Stadt a few days ago, and Kevin didn't have to do it himself.
Kevin also considered whether to pretend to be asleep and then fight back and something like that. But after thinking about it, his strength is low, after all, this is someone else's territory, and there is no point in pretending to sleep. One eruption kills a person, and the next is torn apart by a group of angry bandits.
Thinking about this, Kevin simply slept peacefully, closed his eyes and opened them, and sure enough, he also found himself tied to the cross. The scenery is exactly as Statt describes, with red carpets, torch lighting, miserable staff officers, miserable captives, and a group of serious-looking.
"Old friend, long time no see. Kevin spoke calmly.
The bandits were silent for a while, and they all looked back at their boss, who looked serious but finally nodded: "Well, it's been a long time." β
On the side, Start's face was black, why was I asked to say "Respected Bandit"?
The bandit boss caught a glimpse of Start on the side, remembered that he hadn't answered too much just now, and immediately changed his words: "Come on, according to the convention, play JJ a hundred times first!"
As soon as these words came out, the did not show their previous enthusiasm, they seemed hesitant, turned their heads to look around, and cowered.
Kevin immediately laughed out loud: "Hahahaha......" is full of aura, and all the bandits have recalled bad memories.
The bandit boss asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at the bandit boss when he was dying, and I didn't know it yet!" hahaha......" Kevin laughed.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the bandit boss, the bandit boss's face twitched twice, his left hand clenched his fist and stood up, and finally sat down again: "Then you say, how did I die to the end? If you can't say it, I'll play you 10,000 times!"
Starter was so angry on the side that he was taunted by the bandits, "Am I scared?", but Kevin said that the bandits followed the routine. Why is there such a big gap when the same thing is said?
In the final analysis, it is Yu Wei who is still there after all. Kevin was wearing a cloak at this time, and even though this form was tied to a cross, it still had a lot of psychological pressure on the bandits. Even if he was punctured and knew that it was just a special effect at the time, but when the real "protagonist" was tied to his eyes, no one dared to do it to the "protagonist" first.
