Chapter 25: Letters Return
Two months have passed, and the recruits finally feel that they have survived more than half of it, and it seems that hope is just around the corner. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the commander still immediately hit everyone, the end of recruit training is not the end of the military career. After that, they are all military officers, and they must stay for at least three years before they can be discharged.
According to the commander, some officials in the barracks were extremely idle, such as taking care of the warehouse, and there was nothing to do all day long, so they could eat and sleep and wake up and eat. Some of them are life-threatening errands. At the end of the recruit training, the senior officer will assign the recruit based on the final recruit drill and the comments of the recruit commander.
There is no doubt that there must be a lot of tricks in this. For example, Sain's father is directly the head of the three major knight orders of the kingdom, don't look at the recruit team at this time, there is no difference between everyone else, but the recruit team is under the jurisdiction of other legions. Once he leaves the recruit team, he must enter his father's Thunder Knights, and as soon as he enters, he is basically the master.
This is a very common human relationship, which can be found everywhere and is difficult to avoid. Oka too, the son of the city lord will inevitably have a good position as well. Marinas's background is relatively weak, but now that the three of them have come close, the friendship established by the recruit team is relatively rare, and they can help each other even if they have something in the future. People with strong backgrounds can sometimes solve a lot of trouble with one sentence.
Kevin even felt that the three of them had deliberately joined forces to bully Gray. Because just three people have been together, the friendship may not be deep enough. It is necessary to create a common adversary, and then solve it together, face it together, and then they can be tied together.
Although with just a few of them, Kevin didn't think they could think so far. But that doesn't mean that their father or any other counselor can't help them think about it in advance. Kevin believes that even if these boys are in a mess, their parents sent them to the barracks because of far-reaching considerations.
Kevin also thought a lot about this bet. Although this proposal was put forward by him, if the time comes, it will really open the altar competition, I am afraid that this will not just be a battle of will of the young man. It is also possible that the other side is trying to take this opportunity to show their force in order to gain a higher prestige. After all, an officer has to lead others, and prestige is crucial, so Sain can also gain greater office.
If that's the case, Kevin doesn't think Sain will cancel the match. Even then, Kevin's strength is significantly higher than Sain's, but Sain will inevitably find a way to play new tricks. His father was a knight commander, and I'm afraid his combat experience was far above that of the lieutenant here.
But in other words, if Kevin wins, it will also be equivalent to making a huge recommendation with Kevin himself. If you are victorious, take the opportunity to say that the Assassins were written by yourself. Wouldn't it be a big sensation? Wouldn't the mainland's excellent bard be a step forward?
Of course, once he wins, I am afraid that he will inevitably be hated by the head of the Thunder Knight, whether it is cost-effective or not, although Kevin does not say it, he has actually been entangled in his heart.
At the end of the second month, Marcus brought a pile of letters. These were all messages of concern and condolences from the families of the recruits, some of whom had been delivered the day before. However, in order to facilitate the management of the barracks, all the deductions were deducted, and it was not until this time that everyone was basically used to it, and it was distributed to everyone. Many of them here are noble soldiers, and everyone is very uncomfortable on the first and second day, and they regret it, and when they see the family letter, they will only be more homesick and have greater mood swings.
Kevin also received a letter from his mother, which was written in Elven language and only showed concern, and no one present could read it. The mother was also very puzzled by her son's sudden joining the army, but no matter what, now that he had entered the barracks, he couldn't come out again. Mother is still very worried that Kevin will be bullied by others, and hopes that Kevin will be a good person and so on, and don't take any credit if he has nothing to do, hide if he can, and play dead when he goes to the battlefield......
Kevin was embarrassed the more he looked at it, and he was glad that no one could understand the elven language, otherwise this kind of writing would be seen by the chief, and there might be trouble. It's a place where everyone sleeps together, and there's basically no secrets.
In addition to his mother's letters, Kevin was also subject to a bunch of anonymous letters. When I opened it, there was only a short sentence: "You are still alive?"
Kevin was stunned, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. I opened another one, and the result was exactly the same words: "Are you still alive?"
Opened again, reopened, the content of more than 20 consecutive letters was exactly the same, only the handwriting was different, the paper was different. Some of the characters were even subtracted from other books and pasted, some crookedly as if written with the left hand, and some horizontally and vertically as if drawn with a ruler, as if to avoid revealing their handwriting. As far as Kevin knows, there seems to be only one kind of person who does things so carefully!
On the side, Stat was also unpacking letters. When a large number of his indentured minstrels, hearing of his sudden entry into the army, sent in a large number of letters of condolence. Some even mailed in their drafts in the hope that he would review them. Some even sent gold coins in an attempt to bribe. It's a lot of fun.
In this regard, several other nobles still can't compare with them. They also only had two or three emails, just greetings from their families. Although they have a noble status, they haven't really started to do things after all, while Kevin and Starter are really people who have worked for a long time, and the circle is completely different.
Until Starter opened the middle one, which said, "You're alive too?"
Starter and Kevin looked at each other, and a chill ran down their necks. The heart says that we really have to die to be considered normal?
"What do you mean by that?" Gray was curious.
"Harassment letters. Kevin casually responded, "You'll know when you really work in the future." ”
"Oh. Gray didn't have any scheming, and easily believed it. And Sain and the other three are not on the right path with the three of them, even if they have questions, they will not ask.
Marcus spoke: "You can write a reply today, and you can mail it tomorrow." If it's too late, you'll have to wait another three weeks before you get a chance when you go out for actual training. ”
"Yes. They answered.
"Write everything that needs to be written. Marcus replied, "Write less about military camp training and the like, and show me when you finish writing, lest you divulge military secrets." ”
"Yes. They answered. After two months of training, everyone has long been accustomed to all kinds of unreasonable requirements, even if they scold their mother in their hearts, they will never say it.
The chief waved his hand, meaning that they would reply to the letter themselves, and he himself went to play with the other chiefs. Each of the six men sat on the floor and placed the letter on a small bench to write. Apparently divided into two groups, three and three others were far away.
Writing a letter is a matter of little bit for Kevin and Stadt, and a moment of brushing is a piece of paper. Kevin still writes in Elven language, and the chief can read it if he wants, as long as he can understand it. Although there is nothing important, far away from home usually reports good news and not bad news, and it is all about happy things here. For example, I have asked a lot of questions, and the chief has praised me for my high IQ and so on.
On the side, Gray grabbed the pen and was stunned, and didn't move a word for a long time. Starter also quickly finished writing for his family and directly began to review a few manuscripts that had been sent. Kevin turned to the pile of "You're still alive?"
Kevin looked at the pieces of paper repeatedly, and even sniffed them closely, and the magic shield was gathered, which could sometimes be used as a magnifying glass due to its curved shape.
"Kevin, what are you doing?" Gray stopped writing himself, and his eyes were drawn to Kevin.
Kevin was silent for a moment, inconvenient to tell him in this regard, and simply changed the topic directly: "Why don't you write?"
"I ...... I don't know what to write. Gray shook his pen helplessly.
"Haha!" Sain's voice came, "just write that you are the first in all strengths, so that your mother can rest assured." Haha!" The three people over there were all laughing, the group was very divided, and Gray had always been their laughing stock. But the point is that what they say is also the truth, and they can't refute it.
Gray lowered his head and didn't speak, holding a pen and looking at the white paper in a daze.
Stadt smiled, "Come, help me look at the manuscript together." As he spoke, he handed over a few drafts from the bards, and the young man's attention was immediately drawn and looked at it with relish. For a while, he was already excitedly discussing the follow-up plot with Start, speaking of which the two of them have been very close recently, and their topic is to discuss various routine novels.
Kevin just sighed at this and continued to study a few "You're still alive?"
Obviously, these were his Assassin readers. Kevin wasn't sure if they wanted him dead or if they wanted him to live, and while on the face of it, readers expressed concern, but after all, they had been nearly killed by female assassins, and sometimes they couldn't believe it.
In a moment, Kevin put away his magic shield. Stadt duly asked, "How's it going?"
"It looks normal. Kevin shook his head, but still picked up one of Statt's letters and compared it to one of his own, "Look, these two pieces of letter paper are the same way of handwriting." It could have been written by the same person. ”
"What does that mean?" asked Statt in a low voice.
"Why do you only get one and I get so many?" Kevin asked, "think about the only intersection between the three of us." ”
"It's her!" Statt also remembered the female assassin who had been sprayed away by Kevin, and took the letter and looked at it carefully, although he couldn't see anything wrong.
"Could it be that these pieces of paper are some code words that can be spliced together?" asked Stadt, whispering in Kevin's ear in the second half of the sentence, "Could it be a reminder that we are not safe here and need to be transferred?"
"It's impossible. Kevin replied that it was not up to them to decide what they wanted to do here, "I just suddenly had a bold idea, what do you think I would do if I wrote back to them?"
Statt was slightly surprised, but then thought about it, and it seemed feasible.
"Although they are anonymous, I believe they should be able to receive it. Kevin nodded to himself.
Surprised, Starter whispered, "Aren't you going to send it directly to the Assassin President?" and it says, "I didn't expect it, I'm still alive?"
"Your joke is a little cold," Kevin replied, "I'm not an idiot. The little girl who put us last time was good, and if she can receive it, she will definitely be able to help us. ”
Stadt hesitated for a moment: "Then you can try, at least they are reasonable." Then you try it, what are you going to write?"
Kevin took a moment to think about it, it was obviously inappropriate to write words like assassin directly, and the chief still wanted to read it. Simply vague: "Dear everyone: Thank you for your concern, I am still alive." I've had some minor questions recently that I want to ask...... I also want to ask...... I continued to ask...... I kept asking......"
In the end, Kevin wrote more and more smoothly, and wrote four sheets of paper, all the questions that the chief had not been able to answer recently. Starter on the side looked surprised: "You are such a crazy person, I think as long as they are mentally normal, they will not pay attention to you." ”
"Where's your octopus?" Kevin didn't talk much nonsense, and after writing one copy, he asked Stadt, "summon it and copy another twenty copies." ”
Start blackened his face: "The octopus comes out, and if you don't give it to the fish, you won't work." ”
"Alas!" Kevin sighed, glancing at Gray, who was still biting the pen shaft on the side, "Forget it, I'll copy it myself." ”
By late evening, Kevin had copied a total of four copies. Everyone handed in their own letters, and the chief looked at them one by one. Seeing Stadt's reply, he already had a headache, and the chief's level of education did not seem to be high. When I saw Kevin's reply, I went straight crazy.
"What are you writing about? Why are there so many?"
"Elf. Kevin replied, "My mom can't read Terran." Do you want a translation?"
"Forget it," Marcus waved his hand, "I'll just ask you, you didn't leak military information, did you?"
"Sir," Kevin replied, "it's just a family letter. ”
"And what is this pile, and to whom?" Marcus pulled out another pile of questionable letterheads.
"People on the seaside of the mainland have a custom called a drifting bottle. Write your questions into a bottle and throw them into the sea, hoping that someone will pick them up and answer them for them. Kevin looked into the distance, "I don't have anyone here to answer these questions, so I hope to pin my hopes on the 'Drifting Bottle'." ”
Marcus took it out and looked at it several times, but he felt a splitting headache and simply gave up. I picked up Gray's letter again, only to see that there was only one sentence on it: "I'm still alive?"
"What did you write?" Marcus was furious, "Rewrite!"
Gray looked aggrieved, and his meaning was obvious: Why do you even have to take care of family letters? But unfortunately this is the army, and it is unreasonable, and if you say that it will be rewritten, it must be rewritten. Not only that, but they also had to be reprimanded by their superiors: "Have you ever attended a noble school before? You are a nobleman! How will you become an officer in the future, can you read the order book? Are you literate?"
Kevin and the others could only squint at him, I have to say that Gray's qualities are really the lowest, it's been two months, and it's impossible to catch up with others at this time, and sometimes the chief also looks down on him.
In the middle of the night, when everyone else was already asleep, Gray lit an oil lamp and lay on a small bench to write a letter to his family. If you move a word for half a day, you will be stunned at most. Sain finally couldn't help but taunt, "Gray, hurry up, how can I sleep with the light on?"
Gray didn't say a word, still stunned.
"Alas!" said Stadt, sitting up, getting out of bed and walking over to Gray, "Alright, I'll write it for you." ”
Snatched his pen casually, brushed and brushed, as an editor, the writing is of course first-class, and Gray's situation is also clear, and it is certainly easy to have a universal letter in his hand. Almost moments later, Gray burst into tears and laughed, of course grateful to the dead fat man. The dead fat man touched his head with an amiable face.
The oil lamp was blown out, and everyone could finally sleep peacefully. Kevin sighed: "You're not helping him, he will become dependent on you in the future, and it will be difficult to stand on his own." ”
"Heh, he became dependent on me, so he will give me a lot of money in the future. Statt smiled, "That's business." ”
Kevin stopped talking and slept peacefully.
A few days later, the chief came with a stack of letters, of which Kevin's reply was the thickest. Just looking at this thickness, Kevin's heart was already excited, and when he opened it, he saw that it was indeed seven or eight pages of thick letterhead:
"It's good to be alive!" I answer you...... I continue to answer you...... I'm going to answer you again...... I keep answering you......"
It is said that in the middle of the night, Kevin burst out laughing and woke everyone around.
