Chapter 177: Mom Leaves

The stalemate lasted for almost 15 hours, starting at 7 a.m. and ending at nearly 10 p.m. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info For the sheriffs who had been standing outside the door, it was indeed a good exercise, at least in terms of patience. Among them, the head of the vault has long since died, but it has not been counted, plus the counter lady who finally died, the robbers killed a total of 16 people, and finally committed suicide, leaving 23 "half-dead" people, although the half-dead people are very lively. As for consuming dozens of lunches, dinners, afternoon tea, etc., they can be ignored.

As a result, the robber undoubtedly failed in his robbery, and he did not flee or grab a copper coin. As for whether the sheriff is considered a success, it is also a matter of opinion. But no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as saving some people, and it cannot be said that it is a complete failure, but it is undoubtedly not the expected success.

Everyone was already very tired that night, so they didn't say anything more, and they all went home. The door to the vault had been broken down, and the floor was littered with chandelier hedrons, so in order to prevent theft, a few more sheriffs had to work hard to keep patrolling the neighborhood.

Kevin's mother, Irina, was taken to the Knights of Thunder, and she couldn't be allowed to stay in a hotel. There are also vacant rooms in the barracks, and Kevin asks the recruits to clean up and let their mother live first. Mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have a lot to talk about, but it's late at night, and Kevin is really tired today. I'll talk about it tomorrow.

As the night passed, Kevin had a good night's sleep. The next day, Kevin first went to the general's general ledger alone and began to report.

"I won't repeat what happened yesterday, you're doing well," the general began, "but you don't have anything to explain?"

"The general wants to ask me where I learned the magic array, right?" Kevin was prepared, but when he really wanted to talk about it, he was still nervous.

"Yes, you can tell me. The general's face was expressionless, and Kevin was a little unsure of his mood.

"It was I who met a strong man by chance, and by chance, he showed me some knowledge of the magic array. Kevin replied half-truthfully.

"Strong?" the general sneered, "who?"

"Uh...... It's General Bright. Kevin was a little nervous. I felt this point, and I couldn't hide it. The Membrane Law Guild spreads the knowledge of the membrane method in the military camp, and it will not be Kevin alone, so much time has passed. With the level of General Oude's position, it is impossible not to know at all, and there is no point in hiding it.

A trace of disdain crossed the general's face, and he didn't know if he heard the name General Bright, or if it was because Kevin had contacted other legion generals without permission. In short, it is clear that the general is not in a good mood at this time.

"How long have you been studying?" the general asked again.

"I just learned," Kevin explained, "I thought it was the membrane method, isn't that the concept that the king just came up with?" ”

The general looked at Kevin, who bowed his head and didn't dare to speak. The matter of learning the magic array was indeed carried out secretly, and even a confidentiality treaty was signed. But the confidentiality treaty does not stipulate that you cannot disclose that you have learned the magic array, let alone your own boss. However, when I was in the Membrane Law Guild at that time, I was hypnotizing Sain and hiding in the toilet, so I obviously couldn't tell General Oude.

In battles involving high-level factional entanglements, Kevin is not easy to stand in line with. Whether it is Bright's side or General Oude's side, they can't easily stand around, not to mention that Kevin is General Oude's subordinate after all. You can only answer whatever you ask, and if you don't ask, then don't say it, and try to minimize trouble.

The reason why Kevin used the magic array this time, of course, also expected that General Oude would ask. If you really want to hide, it's a big deal not to use the magic array, Kevin just got caught early. But Kevin still used the magic array to create a big problem for the sheriffs as much as possible, in fact, this is also an attitude that Kevin has expressed.

"The knowledge of the magic array is still a secret item," the general began, "If you don't sign the confidentiality regulations, Brett won't be able to give you the knowledge." ”

"I did sign some orders. Kevin replied with a bowed head.

"Then why did you never tell me?" General Oude said mischievously.

"Because ......" Kevin couldn't say anything like "you didn't ask", and could only reply after a moment's hesitation, "I thought Sain had reported to you." ”

"Does Sain know?" the general asked.

He ...... Probably not. Kevin broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"He doesn't know how to report to me?" the general asked.

"General," Kevin hurriedly admitted his mistake, "it's a subordinate fault, and it should be reported as soon as possible." I hope the general will forgive. ”

"Hmph!" the general calmed down, "I recently got news that some time ago you went out in the middle of the night every day and came back in the early morning. What are you doing?"

"Forehead......" Kevin was frightened, but secretly thought that he passed by the doorman every day, and the general could not know, so he could only tell the truth, "I am studying the theory of membrane method, and since it is a confidential content, I study it in the middle of the night." ”

"Where have you learned?" asked the general.

"This ...... It's hard to tell. Kevin hesitated.

"What is so hard to say, tell me!" the general's words were unquestionable.

"Yes, I was learning the laws of the flow of elements on the continent, and in the spring, the water element began to spread out from the surface of the earth, and the fire element gradually proliferated, and the wind element from the south began to entrench these other elements here, and then ......" Kevin's mouth was gushing.

"I also learned the law of motion between the elements, with the six-star mangs as the most basic graphics, the error of each outer angle of the standard six-star mangs array shall not be greater than 0.5 degrees, and the thickness of the lines shall not be thicker than 0.000051248 of the diagonal length, otherwise the elements are easy to drift between them, and shall not be less than ......"

"I also learned...... I also learned...... I also learned ......"

"Enough!" the general finally interrupted with a dark face.

Kevin also stopped immediately, and his meaning was very simple, by saying this, he showed how knowledgeable he was. If you say that you have to report on everything you learn, then you will unceremoniously talk about the evening.

"Do you think I'm a man who can't eat the ancients?" the general changed the subject, "As soon as you hear the three words of the magic array, you want to get angry and flip the table?"

"It's not. Kevin certainly didn't dare say yes.

"Do you think that factional struggles are black and white? I'm just stubborn, and I reject all magic arrays?" the general asked again.

"It's not. Kevin could only keep his head down.

"Do you know how many factions there are?" the general asked.

"I don't know. Kevin replied.

"What do you think you are?" asked the general.

"I obey the general's orders. Kevin replied.

The general snorted coldly: "The factional struggle at the top is far from being as simple as you think. To tell you the truth, our so-called faction doesn't even have a name at all, everyone is just a tacit understanding, which side each sides are on, there are neutral and wavering people. Conservatives, reformers, that's all made up by you bards. When it comes to choosing a name, it will basically be a complete confrontation between the two factions, and that is the beginning of national turmoil. ”

"And if you are still like today, to a certain extent, you will be surrendering to the enemy! Do you understand?" General Ode said coldly.

Kevin, of course, could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about high-level affairs, you just do your own business. Do you understand?" the general finally summed up.

Kevin nodded yes.

After saying one thing, the general also changed the subject: "Two more catapults will be sent this weekend, and the commander of the 213th Regiment will also come over at that time, and you will communicate with each other." Their catapult group seems to have made a lot of progress lately, so I won't be involved in it, and report to me if there is any problem. ”

"Yes. Kevin nodded.

"Oh, you smashed the chandelier in the vault, and you promised to fix it, so go and go when you have time. The general said again.

"Yes, then the repair cost ......" Kevin hesitated, even if the hedron was not damaged, the mechanical parts of the chandelier would cost money.

"You ask the sheriffs," the general waved his hand, "and the sheriffs will be leading the exercise, and they will bear the costs." If you don't want it, you're not capable. Out of your own pocket. ”

Kevin: "......"

"Alright, it's okay, you go. The general waved his hand.

Kevin was stunned, he really wanted to ask if he could learn the membrane method casually now, but he didn't dare to ask after all, so he bowed his head and went out.

Coming out of the general's place, Kevin stopped by to see his mother. Kevin used to go home once a year at the end of the year, but after joining the army, he hadn't seen him for a year and a half. originally planned to go home on vacation, but unexpectedly, my mother also went out to travel.

"Son, come, let me see," Mom had been waiting in the house for a long time, looking very excited, and punched Kevin twice, "Hehe, the chest muscles are developed." ”

"Mom, don't do that. Kevin was a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Now that my son has grown up, can't I let my mother hammer two punches?" Irina couldn't help but say a few more hammers.

Kevin is helpless, his mother is too young, and she is very different among the human race. But when he came, Kevin immediately invited: "If you don't visit the barracks, the Thunder Knights are still famous." ”

Irina readily agreed: "Okay, then let's go around." ”

The two immediately wandered around the barracks, which immediately caused countless side glances, and many people's eyes had a feeling of amazement. Some recruits even had the audacity to come forward and salute: "Hello sir!"

"Yes. Kevin returned the favor.

"Sir, is this your sister?" asked the recruit.

"Poof. Irina covered her mouth and smiled. Kevin explained with a dark face, "This is my mother. The recruits were stunned and at a loss for what to do.

There were also some officers who were not very familiar with him and came over and said, "Yo, Kevin." Is this your sister? You look alike. ”

Kevin explained, "This is my mother. ”

The officer felt rude to himself, and hurriedly changed his words: "Ah, Auntie......" I always feel that it is very unaccustomed to calling a girl like this.

Irina just smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Three or five people said this in a row, although she showed her face yesterday, but only a few people participated in the military exercise of the Thunder Knights yesterday, and most people didn't know about it. What's more, Kevin is now a little famous in the group, and there are a lot of people who usually greet him, which makes Kevin a little reluctant to explain for a while.

Even more exaggerated, someone shouted, "Kevin, you've got a girlfriend?

"This is my mom. ”

Other: "......"

Even more exaggerated people, after hearing "this is my mother", still like to guess: "This is your father married, that new ......"

Kevin had to explain again: "Mom." ”

Other: "......"

My mother is slightly petite, and she is an elf, so it is really inevitable that there will be similar misunderstandings when she is active in the human race. Although Kevin was annoyed, he still explained all the way, because he felt that if he didn't explain, it would be even more embarrassing. Irina herself didn't care, but seemed very happy, but patted Kevin on the shoulder from time to time: "Hahaha, I'm your sister." ”

Kevin took his mother on horseback and watched the cavalry training. When the cavalry saw that there were beautiful women watching, they couldn't help but be extraordinarily energetic, rushing and killing, and their morale was high. Irina also applauded.

Eventually, Kevin takes his mom to the catapult camp, and Kevin shows her about the catapult's performance and so on. My mother is actually an elven archer, belonging to the magic archer, and it is a level 6 magic master level in terms of mage ability. I also know a little about the knowledge of combat. There is no problem with solo travel on the mainland, of course, if you are unlucky and meet any strong people, then there is no way.

However, when it comes to catapults, Irina is a complete layman. But the elves also have similar blade throwing cars, and she can go back and inquire, maybe there is something to learn from. Kevin, of course, thanked him as well.

When it was getting dark, Irina finally said, "Okay, I've come full circle today, and I'm going back too." ”

"Wouldn't you stay two more days?" Kevin was just polite to hold back, and he also knew that it was difficult to change what his mother had decided.

"No," Irina shook her head, "I was brought over with a dragon eagle this time, and I haven't taken my salute yet." Gotta go back. ”

"Why don't I go to the sheriff and ask them to send you back again?" asked Kevin. Theoretically, if the sheriff brings people over, he is naturally obliged to bring them back.

"Forget it," Irina shook her head, "It's good to go all the way, Yunyou, that's it." ”

"Okay. Kevin didn't insist anymore.

"You," Irina said abruptly, "retire early, here...... It's too complicated. ”

Kevin nodded.

"Hurry up and find a wife after retiring," Irina also nagged, "You see that you are so old, you have become my 'brother', and you still don't have a wife." ”

Kevin smiled, "What about you? Dad has been dead for so long, and you're still very young." ”

"It depends, but I've been traveling around for the past few years, and I haven't seen anyone as funny as your dad. Irina shook her head.

Kevin: "......"

"You'd better take care of yourself first," Mom punched Kevin again, "I don't have to worry about my business." Let's go. ”

"Be careful on the road, I've been here for a short time and can come and see me whenever I can. Kevin replied.

With a wave of her hand, Irina had already stepped out of the barracks, and a moment later, the person had disappeared into the vast grassland.
