Mom went on a tour again, Kevin had no other relatives, and he never saw characters such as grandparents and grandparents, who were said to have died early. As for www.biquge.info grandparents, it seems that due to family conflicts, they have cut off contact all year round. It is also relatively rare for humans and elves to intermarry, and there must be some contradictions in between, these mothers have never said it, and Kevin didn't ask.

It is said that my mother was not a wandering person before, and like most elves, she liked to stay in the forest. Now that he has been away all year round, after all, the outside world is more exciting, and it has been growing in place like a tree, so what's the point. That's why Kevin also likes to travel around, but unfortunately he is not strong enough, and he doesn't dare to go to some places.

Early the next morning, Kevin returned to the vault. After all, he still has to repair the chandelier, and he also apologizes for his rude behavior yesterday.

The gate of the vault is still being renovated, several workers are already busy, yesterday the door was split a hole, and the whole door has to be replaced, and the amount of work is not small. The house was basically cleaned, but the head was empty, and it seemed that something was missing.

The counter lady is still the same as yesterday, and she seems to be quite busy, and when she looked up and saw Kevin coming in, she couldn't help but be stunned: "It's not going to be a military exercise again, is it?"

"Of course not. Kevin was also taken aback, but then again, the drill was launched at any time of the week, but it didn't seem to be strictly a rule that there should be only one such statement.

"Really, isn't it?" the counter lady confirmed.

"No, the exercise is over. Kevin calmed down, then changed the subject, "By the way, is the Vault Governor here? ”

"Oh, he's gone to the sheriff's. The counter lady replied.

Kevin immediately turned around and rushed to the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office also had a special reception, and when asked where the governor of the vault was, the other party revealed to Kevin: "The president and the captain are chatting." ”

Originally, with an ordinary lieutenant-level officer like Kevin, it was not so easy to casually meet someone like the head of the vault or the captain, and even inquiring about their whereabouts would be refused. But after yesterday's battle, almost all of the sheriffs in the city knew Kevin. In everyone's minds, Kevin subconsciously thinks that Kevin is no longer comparable to a mere lieutenant. After getting acquainted, even the program is much more convenient.

Walking to the captain's office, the door was open, and the president was inside, and the two were chatting about something. Kevin looked at the door, and didn't intend to go in to disturb their conversation, just wanted to wait outside.

However, the captain saw him and immediately raised his hand: "Who? What are you shaking at the door?"

Kevin reluctantly went in and saluted: "Captain, I'm here to inquire about the chandelier." ”

"Chandelier?" the captain didn't seem to quite understand, "Chandelier what?"

Kevin was stunned for a moment, feeling that this chandelier seemed to have nothing to do with him, and immediately changed his words: "Well, it's nothing." ”

The captain and the president glanced at each other, and the captain was inexplicably angry: "It's nothing, are you here to laugh at me today?"

"It's not. Kevin panicked.

The scene was silent for a moment, and Kevin was ready to slip away: "I'll go first." ”

"Wait," the Governor of the Treasury suddenly stopped, "once in a while, sit down for a while." ”

"No, I'll go back first. Kevin still didn't want to get involved in the high-level relationship, not to mention that the owner here was the captain, so he didn't speak.

"It is an honor for almost all soldiers to be able to talk to high-ranking officials. Even if you don't belong to the same department, maybe you will cross paths in the future," the Governor of the Treasury smiled, "Could it be that you really belong to another faction, and you are worried that if you say a few words to others, you will be suspicious?"

Kevin was stunned, not knowing how to answer. The captain on the side obviously had something strange in his eyes, especially when he heard the word "faction".

The captain waved his hand: "Close the door." ”

Kevin estimated that he would not be able to escape today, so he could only close the door and stand aside. The captain had calmed down at this time, but instead pulled a stool out: "Sit." ”

"Thank you. Kevin sat down and waited for the question.

The captain pondered for a moment, and then said politely: "You performed very well in yesterday's military exercise." I really didn't expect it to take so long, although in the end you still failed. But it did give us a lot of exercise and reflection. ”

"Thank you. Kevin replied.

"Do you have anything to say?" asked the Captain.

Kevin thought for a moment and replied, "Hostage-taking is a kind of thing, it changes rapidly, it varies according to the robbers, and there is no fixed routine. But trying to save people without harming the hostages is inherently difficult. If I had changed my perspective yesterday and been a sheriff, I am afraid that there would have been only one way to go. ”

The head of the vault smiled: "This is a disguised boast of himself, right?"

"No," Kevin replied, "it's the truth. It will be easier for one person to hold another hostage unless he himself shows his flaws. If he has no flaws in himself and maintains the state of slaughtering hostages at all times, then unless he can slaughter hostages faster than him, this needs to far exceed the strength of the robbers, at least three or four levels higher to be possible. ”

"In yesterday's situation, there is still an iron gate in the middle, and the speed at which you want to break through the iron gate and kill me is faster than me putting down a spare, I'm afraid only the Holy Rank is possible, the captain borrowed the necklace last yesterday, in fact, it also proves this from the side," Kevin also analyzed, "So, if you really encounter a similar situation next time, the captain should not hesitate to borrow that necklace directly, or simply find a Holy Rank master to make a move." This is probably one of the most useful conclusions of yesterday's exercises. ”

The other two looked at Kevin, looking a little surprised. After Kevin finished speaking, he sat calmly and looked at them.

"You have some point," the captain smiled, "but ordinary robbers don't arrange magic arrays, do they?"

Kevin shook his head: "What I think I can learn, others can learn." ”

"Where did you learn your knowledge of the magic array?" the captain seemed to have wanted to ask this question for a long time, and he had been going around in circles in front of him.

"Mainly self-taught, of course someone gave the information, as for who ......" Kevin hesitated, not wanting to continue.

"It can't be General Oude, right?" asked the captain.

"It's not him. Kevin replied.

The Governor of the Treasury smiled: "That's obviously General Bright, the current Membrane Law President." ”

Kevin was silent and didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence. It is not surprising that the other party can guess it, and it is estimated that there will be some tacit understanding between the high-level leaders.

"Yesterday I asked you what faction you belong to, and you replied that I don't know," the Governor of the Treasury continued, "and the problem is more serious, because you are clearly not an ordinary person. In other words, you are not positioned as an ordinary person. ”

Kevin was silent.

The chief captain nodded: "Before the exercise, General Oude told me that you have the aura of the protagonist. At the time I didn't believe it, I thought it was ridiculous, but now I suddenly believe it a little. ”

Kevin waved his hand: "Don't tease me, two commanders, issues like factions are not my consideration, I'm just an ordinary soldier who obeys orders." Probably did a bit yesterday, please don't mind. ”

The captain shook his head: "Then let me ask you, did General Oude know about your magic array before yesterday?"

Kevin shook his head.

"So when you got General Bright's information, did you report it to General Ode?" asked the Treasurer again.

Kevin was silent.

"Are you called a soldier who obeys orders?" asked the captain.

Kevin laughed dryly: "At least General Oude never ordered that anything like that should not be learned." ”

The other two laughed, and after a moment, the head of the vault replied, "Look, it's really not the position of ordinary people. Yesterday I said that you may be a balance, and now it seems that you are at least a balance. ”

The captain spoke: "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, in fact, I used to be a member of the Thunder Knights." I'm Craig, the former deputy head of the Thunder Knights, who was promoted to captain of the sheriff of Saka City about a decade ago, and only three years ago was promoted to captain. ”

Kevin was stunned, he had never heard of this, after all, it was more than ten years ago.

"I've been familiar with General Oude for a long time, and of course the staff officer," the captain smiled, "and he's said to be under you now?"

"Uh...... Kindness. Kevin mumbled.

There was silence for a while, and the captain seemed to be looking at Kevin, considering whether he should go on. Kevin couldn't help but think about some questions, this person is a former deputy head of the regiment, and he changed careers ten years ago, no matter what the reason, why didn't there be a new deputy head to make up for it?

"Do you want to know which faction I am?" the captain asked.

Kevin was silent, vaguely motioning for him to continue.

"To be honest, I can't figure out which faction I belong to now," the captain smirked to his own, "Do you know how many factions there used to be?"

Kevin shook his head.

The captain gave Kevin a number one by one: "The army, navy and air force, basically because of the completely different types of troops, basically belong to three factions. The army is the largest, the navy is the weakest, and the air force is in the middle. Although the three armies can work together, they are three systems after all, and they can basically be counted as three factions. ”

"And among them, there is support for the vigorous development of magical technology, which can be counted as a faction. Those who adhere to the old-school training method are also counted as a row. There are many more than one faction of neutral and vacillators. In fact, even among the factions, there are some contradictions, and even branches. ”

"In fact, many of the regimental commanders did not really understand the problems between the factions, but all the regimental commanders were forced to take sides. If anyone does not take sides, they are in a faction of their own, and then they are likely to be excluded by everyone. The cake is so big, and everyone is happy to eat it," the captain sighed, "In fact, what I have come into contact with is not even the highest level. ”

Kevin nodded: "So...... Was the Captain and the General of the same faction before?"

"When you are the deputy commander, you can't be from the same faction as the commander," the captain replied, "but after you come out, there will be some changes." Some time ago, General Oude tried to ask me to go back, but I refused. ”

Kevin nodded, some time ago, it was estimated that it was when the Thunder Knights were seriously injured, and it was also expected to invite the former deputy head of the regiment.

The governor of the treasury interjected: "Actually, when it comes to this, you should basically understand the purpose behind this military exercise." Or rather, another layer of purpose behind it. Of course, he did train as a soldier, but it was never that simple. ”

Kevin was silent for a moment and spoke: "The purpose of the military exercise is the contest between the regiment commander and the former deputy regiment commander. It's just that it is not convenient to conduct a military exercise directly. ”

The captain was stunned, and then asked the governor of the treasury, "Do we really need to talk to him to this point?"

The governor of the treasury ignored it and continued to answer: "But the result is confusing. The conservatives used advanced magic array technology to teach the reformers a lesson. So the captain said that he himself couldn't tell which faction he was, you understand?"

Kevin sighed: "The general also talked to me yesterday, and he said that he can also accept the magic array diagram, and ...... There is no such thing as a conservative or a reformist, it is all a name that the bard came up with. ”

The two on the other side glanced at each other, their eyes obviously in disbelief. The head of the treasury replied with a smile: "There are naturally factions in places with a lot of people, not to mention the army, and there are also a lot of troubles in the Chamber of Commerce." Factional strife is internal friction to a certain extent, but if it can be controlled well, it is healthy competition. Do you understand?"

The captain interjected: "Also, the way the factions are divided can also be divided into those who can be moved, and those who can't." You should know that every ten years or so, the rank of regiment commander is transferred to each other. This is also to prevent a person from getting too old in one place to have some kind of accident. But there are a few people who can't be adjusted. ”

"One of them is General Fiora, the leader of the Pegasus Knights, because no one is a better Pegasus ridden than her. And your regimental commander, that is, General Oude, can't be transferred. There are many reasons, so I won't talk about them. What the captain said obviously had another meaning.

Kevin was a little afraid to ask any more, and got up and stood up: "In the final analysis, the factional struggle has nothing to do with me, a low-level officer. One day I will be the head of the regiment, so let's think about it. ”

This time, the two didn't stop and let Kevin go. With a factional struggle in his head, Kevin was also a little caught off guard. Is the other party trying to win himself over?

"Hey," a female voice suddenly interrupted Kevin's train of thought, and it was the same woman in the sunhat from yesterday, but she was wearing a sheriff's outfit today, "The captain asked me to give this to you." ”

"This is ......" Kevin took it, but saw a crystal card, "I can't ask for this." ”

The woman in the sunhat spread her hands: "Then you go and return it to the captain, right? He's upstairs anyway." ”

So Kevin put the card in his pocket: "Then thank you captain for me." ”

"By the way, do you have time for the evening? I'll invite you to the tavern. The woman in the visor spoke.

Kevin's eyes were extremely surprised, even if he traveled from south to north, he had never seen such an active girl.

"Business. The woman in the sunhat had to accentuate her tone.

Kevin wondered what he had to talk about with her, but nodded his head in agreement.
