Usually the bards are not very united, and it is difficult for the so-called peers to be enemies, and it is difficult to truly unite the professions that often openly spray each other. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the other party can gather more than 20 bards, and Kevin is really surprised. But after leaving, looking back, it was still a matter of his own military uniform after all.

The local bards believe that they have been robbed of their jobs, and they must unite to resist Kevin as an outsider. Speaking of which, even if more than two dozen people win one, they can't reflect any level. And after winning, it is impossible for more than 20 people to give a speech in a tavern, and the tavern will only share one share of money at most, and more than 20 people are equivalent to working for nothing in one night.

Kevin believed that if he had entered in the bard's costume at first, he would have called in a bearded man and a one-eyed dragon at most. Others will not come at all, and once they fail, they will not be able to return it, but they will achieve the prestige of the other party. It's hard to get mixed up in the future.

But even so, Kevin doesn't plan to change his outfit tomorrow. I basically can't make money if I want to do it as usual, at least I hope to make a big scene.

It was late at night, and Kevin hurried back to the barracks. Suddenly, the figure on the side shook, and there were already three black-clad masked figures standing in front of them.

Kevin stopped, not surprised, but his face was still guarded: "You are?"

"Hello author," replied one of the middlemen, "don't be nervous. ”

"Oh, every time you show up so suddenly, I'm still a little unused to it. Kevin chuckled.

"It's okay, then we'll get used to it a few more times in the future. The man in black laughed.

"Forget it," Kevin laughed, too, "If someone really attacks me in the future, I'll treat it as my own, and that's the end of it." ”

"Has the author been in trouble lately?" asked a man in black next to him, "the new book has been delayed for a long time." ”

Kevin was embarrassed: "Well, there are some things, there have been some troubles in the barracks recently. Kevin didn't say anything specific, and he always felt that it was too unstandard to ask his readers for help whenever something happened. Moreover, the catapult maintenance fee is a lot of money, and even if they assassins have money, they are embarrassed to ask for it directly.

"So the author really has to debate with two dozen people tomorrow?" another asked, "Do you want us to publicize it?"

"Yes," Kevin replied, "then I'll bother you." ”

"It's okay, I've been bored lately anyway. The Assassins replied.

"By the way, your assassin intelligence should be more extensive, there are a few things, I want to inquire," Kevin also immediately asked why there was no reward for the truckload of equipment that was brought back from the border at that time.

Several of the Assassins nodded in agreement, and in a moment they disappeared into the night. Kevin also continued to rush to the barracks, all the way without incident, and the two guards at the gate of the barracks were also used to Kevin coming back in the middle of the night for the past two days.

Until the next day, after Kevin had a random, he immediately went to the city to inquire. This time, he not only inquired about yesterday's management topics, but also asked about the background information of several bards. These people's badges are all hanging, and Kevin deliberately remembered them yesterday. These people dug up Kevin's pornographic jokes yesterday, and Kevin also unceremoniously dug up their black history.

In the evening, a tent had been specially built outside the tavern, and a crowd of people had already gathered, and even the sheriff of the city was wandering around, worried that something would happen. Yesterday's twenty or so bards had been waiting on the sidelines, and of course they were not afraid of the numbers, and they were still whispering.

For a moment, Kevin, still dressed in a military uniform, came from a distance, holding his head high. Many people even gave him a round of applause, and Kevin knew that it was probably given by the assassins.

The two sides sat down, sat in three rows of seats at a time, and sat on one chair at a time, and the strength of the two sides was very different, but the aura was actually the same. The audience had already surrounded the water, and even arranged seats on the roof. In these years, the commoners did not have much entertainment, and the high-end dance party stage plays were all the gadgets of the aristocracy, and the commoners liked to have a good time.

This time the tavern is a bit of a waste, as long as everyone present gives a glass of wine for nothing, of course, if you want to order something else, then you have to calculate it separately. However, although it is said that a glass is given for free, the bartender will stay on the side to ask for a tip, and a circle of tips will come down, even if someone picks the door and does not give, but there are always many people who give, at least they will not lose.

At the opening, the tavern owner took the stage: "Thank you for your support, the shop is very honored to have a debate with the Bard for the Officers and the Twenty-Six. I believe that the fine liquor of the small shop must have attracted a few people to compete, right?"

"Cut!" As a result, the audience was disdainful and uproared.

The boss was not embarrassed, he still smiled, waited for it to calm down, and then continued to speak: "I don't say much, but before the debate, I have to talk about a rule." The debate between the two sides had already taken place in the shop yesterday, but it was so heated that we couldn't hear what they were saying at all. ”

"For that, I think there should be some rules. Article 1: In order to prevent quarrels from being arbitrary, under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to interrupt others' speeches. The next day, in order to prevent one person from talking non-stop without interrupting, there is a time limit for everyone to speak, so use this hourglass time!"

The boss took out an hourglass: "Once the hourglass is finished, you must sit down, whether you have finished speaking or not." ”

Everyone whispered for a while, looking at the speed of this hourglass, it seemed that it was only five or six sentences, which was equivalent to completely making both sides not have to talk at length, they had to speak clearly in a few sentences, and the speed of speech had to be fast.

"Boss, are you going to be too fast, decorate yourself with more sand?" someone at the bottom suggested.

The boss vetoed: "There are many people today, everyone has a short time, and it is also fair." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Kevin and the bard opposite, and saw that none of them objected.

"This debate is being held alternately between the two sides. If one side loses too long, it is not allowed to use meaningless laughter, meaningless sneering, or personal attacks during the debate. Otherwise, it can be forcibly interrupted. After the boss added all the rules, he turned his head and asked the two parties again: "Are there any questions?"

"No!" both replied.

"Then let Mr. Kevin start first!" the boss ordered, and immediately reversed the hourglass, and the clock began.

Kevin immediately got up: "First of all, I would like to thank the twenty-six bards, no matter who wins or loses today, you will all achieve my prestige." If I am defeated, it will be glorious even if I am defeated, and if I win, then I am afraid that you will have no shame to gain a foothold in this city. So anyway, I'll start by thanking you, and I'm done. ”

Kevin sat down, and the other party immediately stood up: "Ridiculous, you used to be just a down-and-out poet with a mouth full of yellow jokes, do you dare to deny it? The so-called love and peace spread by bards, you are just a shameless person who spreads yellow jokes everywhere." I'm done. He sat down.

As a result, Kevin still sat still, watching the boss's hourglass leak, and after a while, he got up and spoke: "First of all, the other party is personally attacking." Secondly, boss, your hourglass timer may not be able to handle such a tense and heated debate. ”

The boss was embarrassed, in fact, just at the beginning, he found out the disadvantages of the hourglass. The hourglass, although the timing is accurate, must wait for him to finish leaking and turn it upside down before he can start the timing again. After Kevin finished speaking, he sat down, and the other party immediately stood up, the hourglass has not yet leaked, if the hourglass is reversed immediately, it is equivalent to the other party's time is shortened.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and some people simply proposed: "Forget it, don't engage in so many rules, just argue directly!"

As soon as these words came out, they were supported by many people. As soon as the twenty-six bards saw the support from the audience, they immediately spoke together: "%#%¥#%¥%¥%&%*&......"

But this time, Kevin just didn't move, sneering again and again.

The boss hurriedly shouted to stop, and finally quieted them down, but for a while he couldn't find a reasonable way to time, and he was a little entangled. Some people have proposed to pour water in a basin, but it is not easy to set a speed for pouring water in an instant. Some people said that they would help to count, but in the heat of the debate, the sense of disobedience was too heavy.

Finally, a girl came out of the audience: "I'll go around in circles, I can spin for a long time." ”

Kevin took a closer look, it was actually Xiao Jiu, at this time she was dressed as a village girl, and she couldn't recognize her if she didn't look carefully.

The boss looked at her and felt that this girl was good-looking and quite interesting. immediately agreed, let him go on stage and try to turn.

"Well, turn three times for one speech," the boss decided, "there is no objection from either side, right?

Kevin immediately stood up: "I was shocked that twenty-six bards had just baptized me with a cluster of saliva. But before the new rules were specified, you actually spoke up on your own, and the quality is really worrying. I'm done. ”

After Kevin finished speaking, Xiao Jiu stopped. One of the other parties immediately stood up, and Xiao Jiu began to turn again.

"The new rules have not yet been specified, so there is no provision that you cannot speak until the new rules are introduced. The other party replied.

"Joke, according to what you say, two sides compete in martial arts, and with the referee's fairness, one side can make a sneak attack before the start and beat the opponent first?" Kevin retorted.

"Let's not discuss this yet," the other party tried to bypass the topic, "let's discuss your pornographic jokes." ”

"With all due respect, haven't any of you ever told a pornographic joke?" Kevin immediately retorted, "and why don't we discuss the topic just now, and there is no debate in today's debate." ”

......

The debate finally began normally, and the situation was extremely intense, and the main purpose of the debate was to prove that the other party was a stupid donkey, but it could not be said directly. Each side cites numerous examples, each trying to circumvent its own weak projects and attack the other's weak ones. It has been going on for a long time, and the two sides have been evenly matched.

For Kevin, even though the other party has twenty-six mouths, in fact, there is only one person who talks to him at a time. Of course, the twenty-six people have different ideas, but they only need to sort out their own thoughts, and then they can all deal with it calmly. And there are always weak people among the twenty-six people, Kevin grabbed a squirt, the other party sat and didn't stand up, Kevin immediately named him to stand up and answer the question.

Other bards on the side tried to break the siege, but it was also very difficult. Once very passive, I didn't expect a pig teammate here to talk nonsense, and it was actually a matter of winning or losing the whole debate. As a last resort, they adopted the strategy of breaking their arms and directly knocked their own people off the stage.

The debate continued, and after a moment, Kevin caught a more obscure error in the other party's example, immediately refuted it, and infinitely magnified it on the grounds that the other party spread false ideas, smeared the bard, and so on.

As a last resort, the opponent kicked down one more person, but there were still twenty-four left. It's just that in this way, many of them don't dare to speak. There are only a few hardliners left playing against Kevin.

Suddenly, they noticed a problem: "No! This girl spun in circles when we were speaking, as if she was going to circle faster than when the other person was speaking." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Kevin asked rhetorically, "Now that I'm speaking, let's see how fast she is spinning in circles, is there any difference from just now?"

The audience at the bottom shook their heads, speaking of which, everyone was mainly watching the debate between the two sides, and they really didn't pay much attention to the circle in the middle, but at this time, it was obviously the same.

"Nonsense, she's a human, not a machine!" the other party jumped out, "What's wrong with her hearing us and adjusting her speed immediately?"

"You are doubting this lady by saying that!" Kevin said immediately, "you know, if this lady hadn't stepped up to help, we might not have been able to have a pleasant debate to this day." Where is your gratitude? Do you doubt that this innocent and kind lady is still a gentleman?"

The other party sat still, and the person on the side stood up to relieve the siege: "The person next to me may be tired for days, and it is possible to be wrong for a while." ”

"Bards must speak with complete certainty, there must be conclusive evidence, and every bard must be responsible for what he says!" Kevin got up, "even if you are tired, you should not speak until you are sure." You're hurting this lady and hurting the public's goodness!"

"I think it's a trifle, it's not worth mentioning at all. The other party tried to force a defense.

Although it is indeed a small thing, his personality can be seen in the small things. I don't want to communicate with someone who is not a gentleman, and I don't want someone who insults a kind lady and tramples on the goodwill of the public to still sit on the stage. Kevin turned to the audience, "Ask the audience to answer, is it still possible to let someone like him sit on the stage?"

"Get down!" The audience is watching the excitement and coaxing.

The other party had a black face and stepped down again. However, at this time, the boss saw that it was very late, and finally stood up: "Thank you to both sides for bringing a heated debate, but it's not early today." Although I couldn't decide the winner, there was nothing to regret, after all, the process was just as exciting. That's all for today, the shop is closing, so please come back tomorrow. ”

The audience was suddenly bustling, and they all got up and left, while they were still discussing something, and the whole section of the road was in a commotion, and it was almost impossible to hear what the people on the side were saying. A few bartenders immediately stood at the intersection again, holding a box and asking for a tip, and the boss seemed to have hired a few spectators to throw a lot of them into the box in a decent manner. When the other people on the side saw it, they were embarrassed and threw some away.

It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that the boss came up to talk to Kevin and the twenty-six bards. Of course, the main thing is about wages, the boss is bold, and he grabbed two handfuls directly in the tip box, a total of more than 50 copper coins plus 7 silver coins.

Kevin can't say anything anymore, others take money directly from the money-making box, which is already very open and transparent. Others always have to earn something, and the cost of holding a big scene this time is much more than usual. It can be seen that the boss is not very satisfied with the results this time. After all, these are just commoners, if they can debate on the aristocratic stage, then it is estimated that at least silver coins will be caught, and copper coins cannot exist, and they will be ridiculed by other nobles if they are thrown out.

In the end, Kevin got five silver coins, and all the other bits and pieces of money were given to the twenty-six bards, and the others always had a little hard money.

After getting the money, everyone immediately went back to their respective homes, scolding each other for so long, they didn't bother to talk at this time, and no matter how much they drank water, they felt dry mouth. And at this time, Kevin was also a little disheartened, and he spent a night struggling to talk about it, but after all, it was only a reward of 5 silver coins.

On the way back, Kevin lowered his head and sighed in his heart. Turning his head and looking around, there were no assassins coming over today, Xiao Jiu had just left directly with the flow of people, and it was inconvenient for Kevin to answer with her. Looking up at the sky, a parrot happened to fly by.

Kevin remembered something, clapped his hands in the air, and whistled. Recruit Commander Marcas once said that this method can be used to call down parrots on patrol.

The parrot really flew down, and then stopped on Kevin's arm: "Sir, is there something?" For Xia Wei, the parrot finally didn't scold the recruits as directly as before.

"Are you busy?" asked Kevin.

Parrot: "......"

"If I'm not busy, I'll inquire about something," Kevin asked casually, "where is the wanted multimillion-dollar thief?"

Parrot: "......"

"Or is there an old cemetery somewhere?" asked Kevin again.

Parrot: "......"

"Or is there a strangely shaped urinal by the river?" Kevin continued.

The parrot was silent for a moment: "Actually, you want to make money, right? I know that many noble women have put up notices asking for a lot of money. You can go and give it a try. ”

"No!" Kevin refused, "it's not a gentleman. And it's all a lie. ”

The parrot calmly flew away, leaving a sentence: "Stupid human." ”

As soon as the parrot left, Xiao Jiu suddenly came out of the night, and there were several black-clothed assassins standing beside him, Xiao Jiu greeted: "Hey! I did you a favor, thank me, right?"

"Thank you," Kevin could only spread his hands, "but unfortunately I don't really have a return gift at the moment." Kevin knew that Xiao Jiu didn't read his novels, and this help may be purely because of acquaintance.

"Oh, it's okay, it's boring anyway. Xiao Jiu waved his hand.

"As for what you were investigating yesterday, we're still investigating," an assassin interface next to him, "I'll tell you as soon as we have any news." ”

"Thank you," Kevin could only thank.

"By the way, are you short of money?" the Assassins asked.

Kevin was a little embarrassed, but he could only admit it.

The assassins looked at each other, but one of them replied, "I guess even if we give a reward, I'm afraid it won't be enough." Well, we'll give you a notice. You can go and give it a try. ”

The Assassin took out a notice and handed it over, and Kevin took it: "Count Gouled has a 10-year-old girl in her family, and she wants to hire a learned scholar to be her tutor. Gratuities are negotiable. ”

"Count Goolead?" Kevin looked back for a moment, "I don't seem to be impressed." Kevin didn't dare to say that the upper nobles of his country knew about it, but at least he knew most of it. Who this Count of Goulade was, I couldn't remember for a while.

"Ahem, there's only so much we can do," the Assassins coughed dryly, "Count Gouled may be a dangerous place for you, but...... Maybe it's not as dangerous as you think. ”

"Let's go first. Several assassins obviously didn't intend to say more, and everyone, including Xiao Jiu, left in a hurry.

Kevin didn't think much about it, the country has always been safe and secure, and even if it fails, it's not a big deal.

Early the next morning, Kevin ran out again after the exercise, this time directly into the portal, and flew directly to the capital city of North. The courage is getting bigger day by day, originally Kevin didn't dare to run around, but he went out and found that it was okay, and it was okay to enter the city, but now he is a little bolder and began to teleport across the city.

Holding a notice, he took a carriage to the Count of Goolaid's mansion, and used up all the money he earned yesterday for the passage along the way, and even posted 2 silver coins upside down. But in order to make a lot of money, Kevin also decided to spend a little blood.

The doorman stopped, Kevin took out the notice, and it was easily put in. Of course, the manor has the magnificence that a nobleman should have, and the gardens are all over the place, and there is a fragrance when you smell it. There are often maids pruning flowers and plants and cleaning up among the flowers, and it is autumn when there are a lot of fallen leaves, and everyone is busy.

Suddenly, Kevin saw a small spoon next to him dressed as a maid and carrying a bundle of firewood walking towards him. The two looked at each other, both startled at the same time.

Then, the little spoon went away with the firewood on his back as if nothing had happened.

Kevin: "......"
