The two switched topics and talked about novels. Kevin also knows Start, and when he says "it's fast", it's probably just perfunctory, but when he says "it's really fast", it's probably really fast.
Kevin casually took out his newly written manuscript from the drawer, handed it to Stadt, and there was a thick stack, and casually began to introduce it: "As I said, this novel has the bard as the main character, and it is my business. And I set up that in the writing of the protagonist of my novel, his protagonist is also a bard, and he also has an editor. Not only that, but the bard's protagonist is also a bard. And the protagonist of this bard is still a bard, and there are editors by his side. ”
Stadt: "......"
"To put it simply, it's my protagonist's character, or a bard's protagonist. Kevin summed it up.
Stadt: "......"
"Do you have any opinions?" asked Kevin.
Stadt flipped it roughly: "Oh, it's only eighty-seven, what about eighty-eight?"
"Writing. "Kevin is very honest.
After a cursory flip, Stadt began to read the first chapter carefully, as an editor, ten lines at a glance are all basic skills, and it only took a moment to read three chapters: "The first chapter is just to introduce the background, and the second chapter is to introduce the protagonist's father? This ......" Stadt seemed a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" asked Kevin.
"The first few chapters are still very important, and it's better to highlight all the conflicts and contradictions to make them more appealing to the reader," Stadt replied, "I know you have your style, and I'm not asking you to change your style, but I want to be more in line with the needs of commercialization." ”
Kevin pondered for a moment, "So, what does the editor mean?"
"You can start by writing about a nobleman who jumps out to refute or even slander the protagonist when his bard is speaking, but is overturned by the protagonist, and then the nobleman does it, but still can't beat the protagonist. So the nobles called people ......," Starter said casually, "Of course, you have to look at the plot setting." I'm just suggesting. ”
Kevin took back the manuscript, flipped back for a moment, and said, "If you want to increase the conflict, it's okay." I could take the middle chapter and go straight to the first chapter. This chapter is also my opinion on some mainstream novels, and the conflict is enough, so it is also appropriate to put the first chapter. ”
Stadt took it and nodded in agreement.
"The title of the chapter is 'I had to write for the sake of conflict,'" Kevin thought actively, "what do you think?"
Starter was a little surprised: "Why do you want to write 'have to write'? ”
"Because I can insert my current conversation with you in the following chapters as an easter egg. Why don't you just write it in Chapter Eighty-Eight?" Kevin became very excited as he talked about the novel, "I can even make similar arrangements for the protagonist of the protagonist's novel. When the reader looks back, they will suddenly realize that this is a huge easter egg. ”
"I've never seen such blatant easter eggs. Start couldn't help but complain.
It's always pleasant to talk about novels, but the problems at hand must be solved after all. Staatt still brought the topic back to reality: "Now you have offended another staff officer. Although this person has no real power, he is also a high-ranking person in the end. What are you going to do?"
Kevin shook his head: "Find a way to lead a horse and practice horsemanship." ”
"You're finally going to have to compromise. "Stat is clearly not surprised.
"I can't help people under the roof," Kevin shook his head, "It's always easy for the superior to reprimand the inferior." "Are you blaming me?", "Why don't you ask yourself?", "Why do you want to be like that when everyone else is like this?", there are too many routines. And the inferior wants to refute, but it is too difficult. ”
"So you know?" said Start, laughing.
"Of course I do," Kevin replied, "and the barracks are no better than the outside world, and the military is sometimes unreasonable, and it's not the first time I've learned it." If you should endure it, you can only endure it. ”
"But I don't think you want to be a person who will always be forbearing," replied Stadt, "you don't think of the staff officer's night training, do you?"
"Forbearance is a helpless practice, but it is also a process that everyone must go through," Kevin replied, "No one can be born invincible in the world, and when they encounter a strong person, they can't be invincible, and they can't outwit them, so there is only forbearance." As for whether it will break out in the future, that can only be said later. Maybe I'll be open-minded and forget about it. After all, it's all just a small trick at the moment. ”
Stat waved his hand: "You don't know who the staff officer is, this person's name is Pandu Pen, and it is said that he is also a relative of the general." Recently, it has been said that he is trying to marry his daughter to Sain to get closer to him. So, it's almost obvious that he's going to target you. ”
Kevin sneered: "Hmph! People with the surname 'Pen' are really rare, I have traveled for so long, and I only know a person named Ace Pen." ”
Stadt: "......" (note: Ace Pen, a well-known idiot among the bards, whose stupidity has become indescribable, and finally had to use his name to represent the highest stage of stupidity. Usually bards debate and scold people stupid pigs and stupid donkeys are fine, but when they scold people Ace Pen, they will immediately roll up their sleeves and dry up. So there is also an unwritten rule among the bards that scolding people does not scold Ace Pen. )
Now Kevin opened his mouth, although it was only said in private, but it obviously showed the indignation in Kevin's heart. His self-cultivation also gradually disappeared when he faced that staff officer.
"If you want the superior to shut up, the easiest way is to show your strength," Kevin sighed, "but the technical content of the catapult is not understandable to ordinary people just by looking at the training." These people will only care about the color of the vindictive spirit and the strength of the magic, and wait two more months. On top of the military exercise, I should be able to show my strengths. ”
"But you only have one catapult?" Statt was helpless, "can you really exert much power on the battlefield? ”
"If the general really gives such an order, he will be laughed at by all the other legions," Kevin replied, "and even if he wanted to fix me, it would not be so easy in front of everyone's eyes." We'll talk about that later. ”
The two chatted for a while, and Kevin's mood gradually calmed down, and he sent Statt away, and continued to write chapter eighty-eight alone.
In the evening, the general returned to the camp, and the staff officer reported to the general on the situation today. Anyway, Kevin stayed in his room all the time, and no one else came to him except Start.
The next morning, Kevin found the general: "General, I only found out yesterday that I still have to test riding skills in my year-end assessment?"
The general was silent for a moment, and then coughed dryly, which was vague.
"Since I'm going to test my riding skills, I want to be equipped with horses. Kevin spoke, "It's also a preparation for the next assessment." ”
"Then ...... Find the stables yourself. The general raised his hand and sent it away.
"General, please give me approval, the people in the stables will not be able to give me a horse without the general's order. Kevin replied.
"Just say what I say. The general waved his hand.
"General, I've already been to the stables once," replied Kevin, "and there are no more good horses in the stables this year, and there are some old and sick people under me, who are difficult to train. ”
"Then ...... Wait. "The general is perfunctory.
"Then General, please write a letter of approval, and give me a priority when there are new horses in the stable. Kevin pressed forward step by step, "I don't have a horse yet, the other warriors have horses, you always have to think about no one first, right?"
General: "......"
"By the way, and horse grass," Kevin continued, "horse grass is said to be expensive." ”
Kevin spoke again: "You can't borrow someone else's horse for training, can you? There is a serious shortage of personnel in the brigade and a serious shortage of funds, when will these problems be solved?"
"Everyone has problems," the general began, "don't worry, your problems will be solved as soon as possible." ”
"A horse, then?" said Kevin.
The military horses used by the Thunder Knights in battle are by no means ordinary horses, and they are all good horses that have been chosen by thousands of people. At the same time, this horse grass is also a problem, this is all horse grass that has been processed by special technology, and it is by no means comparable to the weeds on the side of the road, Kevin said that it is very expensive, and that is also the truth. The point is that it is completely unnecessary to match Kevin, which is equivalent to a waste of money, and the entire finance is actually controlled by the generals themselves, and wasting the army's money is actually a waste of their own money.
After a moment, the general still took a deep breath: "You wait for a while, I will have a meeting immediately, and then we will discuss this issue after the meeting." ”
Kevin immediately stood aside and waited, and several guards came over to bring the chairs up and set them up for the venue. Kevin just watched from the sidelines, while the general sat down and wrote, and no one spoke.
After a while, several independent department chiefs came to the meeting, and when they saw that Kevin arrived first, they didn't say anything, and sat down separately. The staff officer also came in, and the two of them each glanced at each other.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the meeting, the general affirmed Kevin's merits: "Kevin is a new officer, and he has been accepting catapults so far, and he has also made a good reputation, even beyond the level of ordinary catapults, and he is operated by one person." The use of heavy weapons in the army is indeed the credit of Kevin alone, and we should recognize and praise it. ”
Kevin was quite surprised, and his expression was a little stiff. It's like calculating all day long and trying to kill you, and suddenly today he smiled and patted his shoulder and said that everyone is brothers. Several other officers on the side also looked at the general directly, obviously a little incomprehensible. The face of the staff officer on the side changed, and he was a little undecided for a while.
"Staff officer, you can also say a few words. The general glanced to the side.
The staff officer coughed dryly, and immediately judged the same as yesterday: "Don't blame me for yesterday's incident." The Knights of Thunder have always had this rule, but I've already counted you qualified. In the future, as long as you are still the captain of the catapult, you will not be tested for riding again, you can rest assured. ”
Kevin could only laugh dryly: "Ah, it's okay. Yesterday I did something wrong, I didn't ride well, and I really need to train harder. ”
"Ahem," the general interrupted with a dry cough, "you can practice riding, but I won't make it mandatory." ”
Kevin was surprised: "Didn't you say that all the combat troops of the Thunder Knights must be able to ride horses, so they are called knights?"
The staff officer was silent, but the general still excused himself: "That was before, and the times will change." The emergence of various heavy equipment will inevitably bring about major changes in military combat, and Kevin's position is actually more important. ”
Kevin was still a little incredulous, but he wasn't going to get carried away immediately just because he heard two kind words, there must be some kind of hidden meaning in this. I'm afraid it's not Kevin's casual words of "asking for horses" that can make the general change his words, this is only part of it.
Later, the general talked about what he had seen yesterday. Yesterday the general went out and went to visit the Knights of Fire, another famous knight order in the kingdom. The general was surprised to find that they already had quite heavy equipment, among which there was even a 30-meter-long broadsword.
The concept of giant long knives and giant staff actually existed a long time ago, originally to match giant puppetry, such as the giant rock puppet of the Ryan Empire, the war ancient tree of the elven race, etc., so that the puppet has an extra weapon in his hand to cause greater lethality. Eventually, the Giant Staff was developed, and it was even possible to use it on its own, abandoning the Giant Puppetry, but the Giant Long Knife was always considered meaningless.
Because the puppet's own hands and feet can be adjusted, it is extremely hard and strong, and there is no need to add melee weapons. However, Lou Baole Kingdom restored it, and it was a giant puppet that broke away and used it alone. Last time, Kevin passed by Wang Li Academy and heard a few words, but he didn't expect to make an entity so quickly.
According to the general, the giant combat knife was only an experimental specimen. How to transport, how to maintain, how to integrate into the existing combat system, etc., remains to be discussed, and the real technology will be mature in two or three years. But its power is unquestionable.
Only twenty third-order warriors, driven by their fighting qi, their battle knives fell down like sluggers, and the front section slashed out a 500-meter-long fighting qi slash, which was basically the same distance as the catapult. A chasm of more than three meters deep was exposed on the ground, and there was really no armor left everywhere he went, and the color of the fighting spirit was still red, but if the Sword Master was hit, he would definitely die. General Oude himself is a sword master, and he knows very well that if he faces one or two, he can still dodge, and if there are more than ten or even more, then there is no way to dodge.
What's more, the technology is not yet mature, what if it is a high-level warrior who drives the giant sword? The giant staff already has a variety of spells to support, and the giant sword will inevitably be the same in the future.
The general sighed, his personal strength will become small, and for those who are at the top of their combat power, they don't want to see it. Originally, the giant staff appeared, but it was slow to activate, and at least it was not much of a threat if it was melee combat. But now the giant knives seem to fill a similar void.
"Kevin, what do you think of you, as the only heavy weapons researcher in our army?" the general asked.
"Actually, there is no need to be sad," Kevin replied, "There is no conflict between personal strength and heavy weapon development. The so-called heavy weapon is actually an extension of the weapon in the hand, even if it is the Great Magister of the Sword Saint, he still has to use the sword and the staff when fighting, of course, these must be artifacts. And with the development of technical conditions, we have made the same sword and staff materials bigger, although it is not easy to hide, but it is more powerful, and several low-level warrior mages can also manipulate it. It can be said that this is also the inevitability of development. ”
"In terms of cavalry level, we have reached the top, and it will be difficult to take another step. At this point, it is completely possible to transform a little," Kevin began, "I personally suggest that I increase my catapult funding, increase my staff, and increase the number of catapults. ”
General: "......" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
