Listening to the impending quarrel, Kevin's head grew again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He himself grew up in the light elf clan, and he clearly knew that the moral standards of the two races were completely different, and he didn't like each other all year round, so he had already formed a habit. Wanting to reconcile peacefully is simply a test of the level of the middleman, especially when the strength of the two sides is still about the same.

"Lynn, pull the dark elf friend away and pull him outside, quick!" Kevin saw that the argument was about to start, and hurriedly asked the little spoon to drag the person away first. And he stabilized the two light elves: "Don't get excited, no matter what, we are still a team, and everyone is peace-oriented." ”

The female light elf Strina couldn't help it, so she chirped in elven language: "It's not that we don't want peace, it's not that we don't know how to endure. But, but he's gone too far! It's just a child! A baby!"

As a result, the dark elf hadn't gone far, and when he heard it, he immediately turned around: "What's wrong with the baby?

The little spoon hurriedly pushed him: "Okay, okay, go over there, go over there first, I'll chat with you." The little spoon was so strong that he couldn't help but push him outside the stockade.

Strina wanted to refute, but when she saw that the person had already gone away, she couldn't help but sit down indignantly: "Hmph! This kind of person is cruel, he will definitely go to hell!"

Kevin waved his hand: "Forget it, we all know that the light and dark elves have always been at odds, but for now, everyone is walking all the way together, so let's be patient." ”

"Well, it's not that we're impatient," the male light elf Waldler sighed, "to be honest, there are some of your actions that we can't look up to, including not saving the three Terran refugees on the way, including slaughtering the gnolls just because of a pit, and then chasing them down to their stronghold, killing everyone for no reason." If we follow our habits, even if we hurt people on the battlefield, we should still treat them after the war, even if they are enemies. ”

Kevin: "......"

"But I know we have different beliefs, so we all endured," Waldler continued, "but now we don't even spare children, what's the difference between you and beasts." ”

Kevin was embarrassed and had to clarify: "First of all, this baby is not killed by us, don't count it on our heads." Secondly, on the issue of battlefield humanitarianism and the like, it takes a long argument, in fact, Lou Pauler has always adhered to the principle of preferential treatment of prisoners, but first we must be able to take prisoners. ”

"But it's still a child!" Cried Strina again, "is it going to pose any threat to you?"

"We didn't kill this kid?" said Kevin.

Strina turned her head away and didn't speak.

"Fett!" Kevin casually called over, "help me talk to them while the others continue their work." If you turn out any more babies, give them to the two light elf friends. ”

When the two light elves heard this, their faces softened slightly. Kevin also wasted no more time and led everyone around looking for something valuable.

Although this village is not large, it also has three sheds, all of which are wooden structures and covered with tarpaulins. Inside, there are nests made of grass, which are probably where the gnolls sleep. There were no tables, no chairs, no basic furniture, but there were some flails, swords, or axes or anything like that.

"Kevin, come and have a look here," Sain walked over and motioned for him to make a discovery.

Kevin followed him all the way to a corner of a shack, where there were many branches, but they were so shabby that they seemed to be covered up. Sain cleared up the branches, revealing a wooden treasure chest underneath.

smashed the lock of the treasure chest and opened it, and both of them were bright-eyed. Almost half of the box was filled with gold coins, and the currencies of all countries were available, and the number was not yet estimated. And there are a lot of spars, jewelry necklaces, all kinds of high-end luxury goods, what gold cups, gold tableware, and what high-quality furs are piled up in a mess. It's just that the gnolls don't seem to know the goods, and there are some useless rags mixed with them.

"We sent it. Sain was delighted. For the general's son, this thing is actually far inferior to his family, but at least it is his first harvest outside, and he is still excited.

"Well, let's divide it," Kevin nodded, but he didn't seem to be very happy, just picked up a handful of gold coins and looked at them carefully for a moment, "There is no doubt that these gold coins were robbed, but there is no trace of blood on these gold coins, would the gnoll be so careful that he quickly put the gold coins back in the box?"

Sain was stunned and didn't answer for a while.

"Kevin!" Suddenly Xiao Jiu also came over, "You come and take a look." ”

The three of them immediately came to a shed on the side, and Xiao Jiu pulled out a thick book from the crack in the roof of the shed. Kevin couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You found out what kind of place you hid?"

Xiao Jiu didn't care, just took the book to Kevin: "What is written on this? I don't know, you can take a look." ”

Kevin took it and frowned deeply: "I don't know either, but ...... It's kind of like a ledger. ”

"Ledger?" the other two wondered, "The gnolls still keep accounts?"

"I'm not sure," Kevin replied, "and maybe it's not the gnolls keeping the accounts." ”

As he spoke, Jack came in from outside: "I touched all the corpses, nothing was found, their pockets were empty. Have a couple of good flails, would you like them?"

Kevin subconsciously took the two chain flails, the wooden handle was smooth and delicate, and the hammer head had spikes, hard and heavy. The middle chain is slightly shorter than the wooden handle, that is, as long as you hold the end of the wooden handle, it will not hit your wrist when you wave it, and as for whether it will hit other parts of the body, you can only look at the level.

Kevin waved his hand twice, feeling rather uncomfortable. But when it smashed into the wooden pillar next to him, it was a pit, and the power was good.

"Do you think the gnolls can make this weapon themselves?" Kevin asked the people around him.

"Like, unlikely. Xiao Jiu replied honestly, "I don't see anything striking iron here, although they do use fire." ”

Kevin put down the shackles, still frowning: "I noticed that many of the shackles are rough, and there is no uniform specification, so it is estimated that if you pick up an iron block, the rope will be tied to a wooden pole." But there are also such finely made flails, the links of the iron chains are all of average size, the spikes of the hammer head are evenly divided, and there are no concave and convex places in the roundness of the hammer. It's hard to believe that the Gnoll can build it. ”

"That might have been bought, right?" Sain himself was a little unconvinced.

"As I said, there was nothing on their corpses, their pockets were empty, that is, they didn't carry any gold coins. It's strange to say that one or two people don't bring it, maybe it's a coincidence, and everyone doesn't bring money," Kevin further speculated, "but there is so much money in the treasure chest, but it is not distributed to the subordinates? or does the subordinates not know how to use the money at all? or they can't enter the market?"

"By the way, what do gnolls eat?" Kevin suddenly thought, "Have you found a place where they store their food?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Xiao Jiu replied: "They eat meat, and meat is not convenient to store." However, similar to beasts, it is not a problem to eat a meal and starve for three or four days. ”

"Is there plenty of prey around here?" Kevin looked up, "Forty or fifty gnolls, even if they eat once a meal in three or five days, the amount of food they eat is amazing." They don't grow vegetables, they don't know how to breed, they can survive by looting, and they don't eat human flesh when they look at the corpses along the road. ”

Everyone was silent, and for a while they all began to think about these questions.

"They have saved so many gold coins, there must be a market. Gold coins lose their market, and gold coins themselves have no meaning. But to say that the jackals wore gold coins to the market to trade? It is even more unimaginable, there are currencies of all countries here, and exchange rate conversion is required to really trade. If the Gnolls can do this, then the Gnolls deserve to be one of the intelligent races. ”

"You mean, someone is manipulating?" Xiao Jiu was familiar with these.

"Do you remember the three fleeing Terrans you met on the road?" Kevin asked, "although there is no direct evidence, it is estimated that eighty percent of them are related to the gnolls here." The gnolls here are most likely domesticated, or at least in some kind of partnership with them, with the gnolls giving them gold and silver and then buying some meat or weapons in return. ”

Sain immediately replied, "Then these three people have made a lot of money." ”

"It's true that the gnolls don't have the idea of how many gold coins there are, and the middleman must make a fortune," Kevin held the ledger but still wondered, "but why keep the ledger? Or is it not the ledger, but something else?"

"Forget it," Sain saw that there was nothing to discuss, and immediately went to divide the gold and silver, "come, let's divide it as you like, don't worry too much." ”

Kevin still shook his head: "The key now is the person who escaped, which may be a big problem." You think, why are they able to dig a trap in front of us, and if I try to circumvent it, they can immediately change their plan and chase after us. What does this mean? It shows that they have been keeping track of our movements, and I have observed through the crows in the sky, and they must have some special means. ”

"After that, three of our chariots advanced here, and all the gnolls returned here, but one of them was missing. Obviously, this person whose whereabouts are unknown has complete information and has judged that we are going to encircle and suppress this place, so he fled for his life first. Three Terrans didn't die, and one person with all the information didn't die, which can be troublesome. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Sain was still more optimistic, "Even if they escape, would they dare to call someone to come and take revenge?"

"I'm afraid they have something to do with the military here. Kevin voiced his concerns.

Everyone's faces changed slightly: "......What do you mean?"

"You don't think a single country man can domesticate a gnoll, do you?" said Kevin.

"So what are we doing now?" the crowd couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"This is someone else's territory, and you can't escape if you want to. Let's get mentally prepared first, and then ...... "Kevin turned to the chest," and divide the money first. ”

At this time, outside the door, the light and dark elves were still angry, Fett was persuading the two light elves, and the little spoon was persuading the dark elf, and the little spoon was not very good at persuading people, so she took out the picture again: "Look, look at it, frozen huskies~"

Dark Elf: "......"

"Hurry up, come in and divide the money!" finally Sain broke the peace with a roar, and as soon as he heard the penny, both sides came to their senses. got up and came over, but bumped into it again at the door, and suddenly glared angrily again, and snorted heavily in his nose.

"You're also entitled to take the money?" said Strina, "You demon!"

"Yes, I'm a demon, you angel, why don't you fly in the sky with two wings?"

When everyone heard this, they seemed to be arguing again, and they couldn't help but have big heads. Sain couldn't help but whisper to Kevin, "Either we help one side and drive the other away." ”

Kevin still shook his head: "It's okay at the moment, you can calm it." ”

The light elf over there had already raised his voice: "Do you know what human nature is, what kindness is, what love is?"

The dark elves also raised their voices: "Killing a gnolf is crooked, first of all, a gnolf is not a human at all, it is not an intelligent creature, it is similar to a barbarian." No, it's lower than a barbarian, it's not a man, it's just a monster. There is no need for any mercy. ”

"You really don't have humanity!" Strina roared, "You don't have a hatred for gnolls, you just want to kill and kill, you're a real demon!"

The two sides quarreled in Elven language, and as a result, no one here understood it except Kevin. I couldn't help but turn my head and ask, "What are they arguing about?"

Kevin sighed: "The quarrel between the light and dark elves is more of an ideological issue. Since the elves split into the light and dark races, the light elves have become more and more sacred, and their beliefs are eighty percent similar to those of the Church of Light, and the light elves have gradually absorbed the theories of the Church of Light and become their own moral standards. And the two races are opposed, and the dark elves don't like them at all, and they unconsciously become another kind of value. ”

"As a result, the contradictions between the two parties become more and more irreconcilable, with the 'sacred' people becoming more and more 'sacred' in order to distinguish themselves from each other, and the 'sinful' people becoming more and more 'sinful' in order to distinguish themselves from each other. It seems to me that there are quite a few things that are just against for the sake of opposition, going from one extreme to the other. ”

As soon as he said this, both parties were stunned at the same time, and then they both turned to Kevin. Waldler was dissatisfied: "What do you mean? or is it wrong for us to save a child?" The dark elf said, "What do you mean by that?

"Lynn," Kevin began, "help me get the two light elf friends out first." Come in again in a while, I have a bowl of water, I just invited out the dark elves, and now it's the turn of the light elves, I hope I don't mind. ”

"Hmph!" the two light elves just snorted coldly and shook their hands out of the shed. The dark elves weren't much happy, Kevin casually took a bunch of money to him, which was also his credit fee, and the dark elves politely said thank you, and then walked out. After a while, the light elves came in, and Kevin also gave them money, how much, because the exchange rate here is too complicated, just estimate it, how much must be different.

"What should I do here? Is the stockade going to be burned?" asked Jack before leaving.

"It's too big to burn the smoke, and it's easy to attract something," Kevin still shook his head, "Forget it, just throw it over there." ”

Everyone got on the car again, which will make everyone's pockets bulge, many things can't fit, they are jammed in the car, and the mood is naturally happy, although there is nothing superb, after all, most of the people who can take the best are masters, and it is impossible for the master to be killed by the jackals.

However, after only half an hour of driving, the crow's contract message came back to him: "About 10 kilometers ahead on the left, a large number of water tank chariots are hurrying over. ”

"Coming at us?"

"No!" replied the crow, "and, about 10 kilometers to the right, a large number of tank chariots have also appeared. Looks like it's going to start!"

Kevin hurriedly leaned out of the car and looked into the distance, and the two light elves on the side also climbed out to watch. There happened to be a plain ahead, and the chariots on the left and right were faintly visible, and the shouts of killing were faintly heard. It's just that the speed of the chariots on both sides is far faster than Kevin's, which can't help but make Kevin envious.

"These are Imperial equipment," Waldler said, explaining to the elf beside him, "Look, there is no water element in both vehicles. However, the left one retains a part, and by changing the magic, the upper body of the water elemental is shaved off, leaving only the lower body. The bottom of the tank chariot is like a water film, the speed is several times faster than carrying it, and it is better than the car we sit in for all kinds of complex terrain. ”

"The emblem of this type of chariot is the addition of a ring at the back, plus a number written on the side of the hull, as if a full stop is added to the number. Therefore, this type of tank is also called a full stop tank. ”

"If you look at the other side, there is a wheeled one, and it is two or three in series, and from the side, its chain structure is like a comma, so it is called a comma-shaped chariot. ”

Listening to the light elf's explanation, Kevin also opened his eyes, and he had already decided in his heart that he would pick up the full stop and comma at the first opportunity to see their internal structure.
