Time passed minute by minute, and it was noon in a trance, and the hot weather of June made a sheriff who was directly exposed to the sun outside extremely uncomfortable, and with the anxiety of the mood, many of them were already wet in their armor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The chief of the info team and several commanders are still negotiating, and the stalemate continues.

On the side, General Oude of the Thunder Knights has already brought people over. This exercise belongs to the coordination between the Knights of Thunder and the Sheriff, with the Sheriff as the main and the Knights as the Knights. Just now, there was a riot in the city, and the sheriff didn't even have enough troops, and the Thunder Knights also sent some people to check on it. Now that the city has finally stabilized completely, they have come to take a look.

However, the general himself did not participate in the performance, so although others came, they only watched from the sidelines, and did not even guide. The main affairs of this regimental military exercise are in charge of Lieutenant Colonel House, the current commander of the 1st Brigade.

Compared with the anxiety outside the door, the people inside the door are also quite uncomfortable. The vault had no windows, the door was closed, the chandelier that had been used for blowing the wind had been broken, and 39 people were in one room, and although the hall was large enough, it was still very hot and humid after a long time and the weather was hot.

Kevin himself doesn't feel anything, and no matter how bitter the environment is, he has experienced it. But the civilians here couldn't take it anymore and began to complain incessantly. There are many people, and the momentum is naturally huge, and it is not convenient for Kevin to suppress them. And at the critical moment, it is really pointless to always talk to this group of people, once the distraction is excessive, it will be troublesome to deal with emergencies.

Kevin just silently took the crystal coins and studied them one by one, and then put them on the ground to make a pattern. The crystal coin is the currency of the Ryan Empire, which is cut into crystal and carved into currency, and it is also a kind of magic crystal, and it is also feasible to use crystal coins to arrange the array. It's just that crystal coins don't have attributes, and they can't store elements, so they must be matched with crystals that contain elements, or they can be artificially driven.

The magic array also needs a source of power, usually the elemental power contained in the spar is its power, or it can be driven by manpower. When the elemental power in the hedron is exhausted, high-quality spars can also be reverse-infused with elements, while low-quality spars are difficult.

The magic crystal is like a stab, and what is mined is bucket after bucket of elemental power. High-quality magic crystals mean that this poke is very large, very clean, and very strong, so this poke can be used repeatedly. A low-quality spar is equivalent to a very bad stab, and it is not clean to pour elements outward, and it is also difficult to pour elements inward, and the gains outweigh the losses.

However, low-quality magic crystals are not useless after the elements are depleted. Like the Lane Empire, it is directly engraved into currency for use. Similarly, as a spar, it can also be used to arrange arrays, and each one is the same size, which is also convenient for calculation. In fact, there are similar cases in several of Kevin's magic books, just copy them directly.

The president of the vault on the side is squatting next to Kevin, so many people are here, and Kevin can't do anything secret, just do it without saying a word.

"As far as I know, the knowledge of the magic array is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The Governor of the Treasury couldn't help but ask.

"I won't answer that question. Kevin spoke.

"You...... Is it really the general's man?" asked the Governor of the Treasury with some suspicion.

Kevin glanced back at him, "What's the matter, can't the general's people know the magic array?"

"Absolutely. The Governor of the Treasury smiled, "Have you ever wondered why the military exercise would make you play a robber?"

"What do you want to say?"

The Vault Governor was silent, and after a moment he changed the subject: "What are you doing now?"

"It's for ventilation, to speed up the flow of the wind system," Kevin replied casually, "Everyone here is suffocating, and I'm trying to find a magic circle to cool down." ”

"That's not the way you can do this," the Vault Master shook his head, "we're not soldiers, so we can't afford to play with you for too long." If my staff starts to get dissatisfied and start rioting, there's not much I can do. I'm not a soldier here, I don't have such a strong binding force, they can't resign or do it. Do you understand?"

The staff behind also began to echo: "Yes, we still have to work?" "The accounts haven't been settled yet?" "I'm hungry, haven't you eaten at noon?" "Oh, when is this going to be?" "President, noon is the rest time, and we are counting overtime now." ”......

Kevin put the last crystal coin, propped his hands on the ground, the magic power converged, and the wind elements gathered through the magic circle, automatically forming a whirlwind. Everyone suddenly felt cool, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"You think I'm playing?" Kevin began.

Everyone said, "Of course it's not playing." "But that's a program. "A cutscene. ”......

Kevin ignored it and raised his voice: "Do you think the military exercise is a cutscene? Then I want to ask you, what else is not a cutscene?"

Everyone was stunned, and Kevin had already continued: "For soldiers, military exercises are the most serious occasion after actual combat, and even from a certain point of view, he is actual combat. If I don't really come to a military exercise, how can I improve my actual combat capability? How can I accumulate experience? If I am a real robber now, and now there are so many sheriffs outside but there is nothing I can do, but I can kill people at any time, how do you feel?"

The head of the treasury smiled: "Sure enough, he was born as a bard, this talk, this truth, tsk." ”

"Have you ever experienced the death of your comrades?" Kevin put it another way, and his voice instantly became low.

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't know how to interface for a while.

"I've been there," Kevin replied, "and my comrade Gray died right in front of me, and there was nothing I could do about it. For you, it is your job to settle accounts and move gold coins to and from work, and for us, it is our job to live and die. Who do you think you have achieved the peace?"

Everyone: "......"

"I'm not taking out my dead comrades to scare you, but I'm stating some of the most basic facts," Kevin sighed, "Everyone understands the truth, but no one usually realizes it." Considering this military exercise, do you think it is a casual delay in your time?"

"Military exercises are all targeted and purposeful, especially if civilians are involved, so it is obviously more prudent," Kevin explained, "The recent transformation of the mercenary group, the expansion of the city, the connection to the Internet at the end of the year, and so on have almost all been concentrated in the near future." The chaos that could arise is predictable, the treasury is a top priority, and the reason why you are allowed to participate in the exercise as civilians is because if there is a robbery, you will also be involved. ”

"Do you want to be like your captain and be shot by your own guards as soon as you get on the field, or do you want to be like the guards and shoot your own captain as soon as you get on the field?" Kevin asked.

The governor was embarrassed, the guards were embarrassed, and the others looked around and didn't know what to say. In any case, Kevin's words made them quiet for a while.

However, Kevin didn't dare to treat them as soldiers, and when he saw noon, he immediately shouted outside the door: "Listen to the people outside, give me 39 lunches within half an hour." Otherwise, I'll 'kill' someone!"

The outsiders were shocked, and then their eyes lit up in an instant. The captain replied, "Of course, but the question is, how are we going to send it in?"

"Put 39 lunches in the dining cart and let one person push the cart in. Call me when you're ready, and I'll open the door when the time comes. Listen, only one person can push the cart in, and the others must stay 30 meters away. I have already set up a magic array here, and the magic array happens to be temporarily arranged with chandelier crystals, if you want to do anything, I have enough ability to die with the hostages here. ”

"Okay, you have to calm down, we'll prepare lunch right away," the captain was puzzled, but he still turned his head and ordered, "Quick, contact the surrounding restaurants, and prepare 39 lunches immediately!"

The woman in the sunhat next to her stepped forward: "Why don't you come when the cart is pushed later?"

"But he's seen you?"

"Whoever goes at this time will be suspicious," replied the woman in the visor, "and it would be better for me to come." And in fact, the real robbers who will pay attention to the problem of the diet of the hostages. ”

The captain shook his head: "The military exercise has the gameplay of a military exercise, and it is obvious that the hostages are already impatient inside, and if they don't give them food, they are probably unwilling to cooperate with the robbers." It's a special situation that only happens in military exercises, but we can use it too, can't we?"

"But what I find even more incredible," the captain turned to look at the general, "he actually said that he knew the magic array?"

The general was silent, just smiling, but Lieutenant Colonel House replied, "Maybe he is fooling you." ”

The captain is helpless, of course the robbers can fool him, half-truths and half-truths. But he can only take it as if it were all true, and neither reality nor exercises can joke about the lives of the hostages.

Half an hour and a moment arrived, and with the efforts of several meals around, it was finally achieved. Thirty-nine lunches were packed into tin lunch boxes and piled on a trolley. The others all withdrew 30 meters away, but in the dead corner of the door, many masters had already been ambushed. There are even earth-based mages hidden underneath, and wind-based mages hidden high above. If Kevin opens the door, the door opens outward, and the view can only be seen in the front at most.

"Mr. Robber, lunch is ready. The woman in the sunhat pushed the cart to the door.

"Okay," Kevin said in a crisp surprise, "I'll open the door." ”

With the creak of the iron door, the door, which had only been closed for a morning, seemed to everyone to have been closed for almost a century, finally opened. The sunlight penetrated into the house, making the "hostages" also take a deep breath.

The woman in the sunhat secretly tightened the dagger in her sleeve, calmly and slowly pushed the cart in, and quickly observed the surroundings. A group of masters by the door involuntarily began to get nervous, each facing the guy, waiting for the order.

Suddenly, the surrounding water system elements gathered wildly, and the temperature dropped significantly, showing a violent aggressiveness. It is not clear what the spell is, because just looking at this change, there are many other possibilities for branching spells. But it is undoubtedly enough to kill the hostages in the house, and it is in a state of activating at any time, it is a state of charging, and the magic array is genuine.

To take the risk or not? For a moment, everyone was thinking about it. While Kevin can't really activate it, it's just as easy to determine death.

The woman in the sunhat was already in a cold sweat and pushed the cart in. Looking left and right, it was only a counter lady who opened the door, and at this time she was still tied to her feet, and she could only jump and walk on both feet, and she definitely couldn't run far. The others sat in their chairs with signs tied to them.

Didn't see Kevin, apparently already hiding. You don't need to stand on the outermost part to activate the circle, you just need to set the activation position to be hidden. Is it behind the counter, or in the side door? The woman in the sunhat is not sure.

The magic array on the ground can be seen at a glance, and the magic circle made of paper is connected, and it can be rubbed with one kick. But seven or eight steps away from the door, there is no reason why he can be faster than his opponent.

"Put the cart at the door and you're good to go. Kevin's voice actually came from all directions, and the wind system control technique used the wind to make the sound reflect everywhere and form a ring sound. Although it is only a small skill, the other party even knows this, which shows that he has real talent and real learning, and he is by no means an ordinary "robber".

The woman in the sunhat hesitated again and again, but she still didn't dare to do it, and she didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she could only leave the dining car and slowly retreat by herself. The ambush personnel on the side were nervous for a long time, but they were nervous in vain.

The counter lady slammed the door shut again, everything went back to square one, the stalemate continued, and everyone outside the house was sweating again.

Everyone in the house laughed and laughed, and of course they were happy to have something to eat. Everyone led their own boxed lunches to eat, but Kevin just chewed the jerky in his pocket.

"You're not afraid of poison, are you?" someone asked.

"It's not poisonous, but it's probably some drowsiness medicine," Kevin replied, "so I'm not going to take it." Or you can leave some for me with the rest of the food, and if you are fine, then I will eat again. ”

Everyone laughed: "We have all become drug testers." Someone also joked: "We are hostages, and it is normal for us to test drugs." ”

Kevin also laughed: "If you are really hard to be hostages, considering that you are civilians, I can at least order something to eat every once in a while." ”

"Really, fake?" the enthusiasm of the crowd was aroused, and many people found it interesting.

"Well," Kevin looked at his pocket watch, "if we can make it until 2 p.m., I'll go get you some afternoon tea." ”

"Good, good. The hostages were excited, "I want iced tea!" and "I want fresh milk." "I want coffee!" "Can I refill it indefinitely?" ......

"Well, you write a piece of paper, and I'll take it for it later," Kevin replied, "but everyone has to cooperate with me, and you have to hold it up until 2 o'clock, you know?"

"No problem. The crowd waved.
