Chapter 169: Robbery, be serious
Saturday and Sunday passed in the blink of an eye, and Kevin squatted in the barracks and didn't go anywhere, closing the door alone and quietly thinking about the robbery. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Sain and Start went out in a row, and they played crazy enough to make the recruits envious.
Kevin asked both Sain and Start to deposit money once, and asked them to look around, hoping to attract some attention. Of course, the two of them will also have some reports, and Start comes back to say that the chandelier on the roof is very extravagant, and in his eyes, the gems on the chandelier are worth more than ordinary chandeliers.
Kevin is relatively lacking in gem identification, it is useless to just read books in this area, and he will naturally have insight when he has touched more gemstones. Especially for people like Start, he can see at a glance what kind of jewelry others are carrying, and then judge in turn what attitude to use towards this person. This is also the basic social skill of an aristocratic businessman.
Kevin believed in his judgment that anything that was out of the ordinary was worth exploring, so Kevin then asked Sain to deposit and withdraw the money, while focusing on the chandelier.
As a result, Sain obviously did not have this level, the chandelier was more than two meters above his head, and at this distance, he wanted to see how much the gems on the lamp were worth, which was not something ordinary people could do, and Kevin no longer demanded it.
The two-day rest day passed quickly, and Kevin had prepared more than a dozen robbery plans, although he had no experience in robbery, nor did he have experience in arresting. But at least he's seen enough of the bridges, and the magic array he's learned a lot recently can also be used appropriately. Speculate on the sheriff's reaction, followed by a planned countermeasure, speculate on their reaction after they are countered, and so on.
The whole speculation spread like a tree-like diagram, after all, the sheriff could have many reactions, and the plans that could be inferred from this would be very complicated. At the same time, it is impossible to include each of their reactions in the plan, everything can only be done to the best of their ability.
On Monday, Kevin wore a bard costume for his third step. From today onwards, he can already rob at any time, but Kevin is not in a hurry, and the robbery has to wait for a good time.
Looking at the weather every day cloudless and the sun is like fire, it is estimated that there will be no rain or fog this week. If you want to take advantage of the weather, it is unlikely.
When we came to the door of the vault, there were still not many pedestrians on the road, the gate was open, and the guards seemed to have changed two. A sign was erected at the door, and Kevin went over to take a closer look, and saw that it read: "There are military exercises in the vault at any time this week, and once you encounter military exercises, don't panic." Just follow the instructions of the commander, and it is absolutely safe. Deposits and withdrawals will be suspended during the military exercise and resumed immediately after the end of the exercise, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. ”
After reading it, Kevin turned his head and asked the guards, "What is the military exercise written on this?"
"A military exercise is a military exercise. "The guards were impatient.
"I know that a military exercise is a military exercise, and I want to ask what a military exercise is about?" Kevin refused, "Is it a magician confrontation, or is it the kind of jumping around on the roof to fight?"
"I don't know!" the guards didn't bother to talk nonsense.
Kevin was embarrassed for a moment, thought about it and took out a few copper coins and stuffed them into the guards' pockets: "Come on, a little meaning, tell me what the military exercise is?"
The guard was surprised, of course he wouldn't answer, and hurriedly shirked it: "What are you doing? I don't want your money." ”
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few copper coins. Kevin began to force the stuff. The two of them were pushing around the street, Kevin was really hard stuffed, and the guards had to really push hard. Until another guard came over and stretched out his hand to break the two apart: "What for?
Kevin laughed dryly: "Oh, I just want to ask what the military exercise is?"
The other guard was still shaking his arm: "You kid can't see that your hands are strong." ”
"Oh, I used to carry sandbags, haha. Kevin replied with a smile.
Another guard spoke: "I know about military exercises, but I can't tell you. It's a rule, it's useless to give me money, you can go. ”
Kevin was slightly disappointed, but still didn't give up: "Then I'll go in and ask." ”
"Whatever you want. The two guards returned to their doors and stood still. Kevin entered the vault and looked around casually, but saw that there seemed to be a few more people enjoying the shade here, and I am afraid that there must be a plainclothes sheriff. Looking ahead, it was still the counter lady, and the two windows next to her were suspended. No one came to deposit or withdraw money during this time period, and the counter lady was still writing something on the table.
"Hey, meet again," Kevin beckoned, "Why is it still you here, don't you take shifts?"
The counter lady looked up and rolled her eyes: "Sir, do you have any deposits today?"
"I'll save it," Kevin said, pulling out the gold coins, "can I save it for a day?"
Lady at the counter: "......"
"Isn't it too long?" asked Kevin.
"Sir, I really doubt you're here to amuse me. "The counter lady is very upset.
"Ah, I don't understand," Kevin looked embarrassed, "I'm from the country." I just want to save for a day, and if I feel okay after one day, I can save a few more days, isn't that normal?"
Lady at the counter: "......"
"By the way, what does the military exercise mean written on the door, will it jeopardize my deposit?" asked Kevin.
"I can't answer your question about military exercises. "Actually, the door is not far from the counter, and Kevin and the guards at the door just now made such a big move, and most of the people here saw it.
"Oh, that's a shame. Kevin looked up to the sky and sighed, and looked at the chandelier again, but unfortunately Kevin's eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see the details clearly at this distance.
"Sir, are you still saved?" the counter lady urged.
Kevin looked at the chandelier for a moment: "How much does this lamp cost, it feels like it's so expensive." ”
"Sir," said the lady at the counter, helplessly, "if you are any more vexatious, I will call the guards." ”
"No, that's not what I meant," Kevin hurriedly waved his hand, "Actually, you can tell that I've been worried that it's not safe to keep my money here, because there are too many people coming and going. If a sword master suddenly rushed in to grab money, how could these people stop it. But when I saw this chandelier, I had another idea. If the value of this chandelier is very high, then when the robbers come in, I am afraid that they will grab the chandelier first. In disguise, my money is safer, do you think there is a problem with my logic?"
Everyone: "......"
"Don't worry, this lamp is definitely worth more than you," said a man sitting and reading a book next to him, suddenly impatiently.
Kevin turned his head, only to see that it was an uncle full of scum, leaning back in his chair a little bored. As soon as he spoke, many people around him looked at him, but beside him sat a woman about thirty or forty years old, still looking down at a book, wearing a sunhat and unable to see her face clearly.
Kevin then exclaimed, "Oh, so valuable?"
"Hehe," Uncle Hu smiled, "Okay, don't act either." Do you think we don't know who you are?"
Kevin was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.
"Kevin, in the Hall of Reflections, you used to be a guest as a bard in a nearby tavern, and now you are a lieutenant of the Knights of Thunder and a catapult captain. The Knights of Thunder knew you as soon as they inquired, and you still said that you were a countryman?
Kevin stood still, waiting for him to continue.
"Well, don't make too much trouble, it's Monday. Hurry up and rob, and we can rest when it's over. Uncle Hu scumbag yawned, "This kind of thing is just a formality, why are you so serious?"
Kevin smiled, "May I ask who this is?"
Uncle Hu waved his hand and did not answer.
Kevin looked up and continued to look at the chandelier, and simply opened the skylight and said, "What's the mystery of this chandelier?
"Alas, don't talk nonsense," Uncle Hu said impatiently, "you must have lost, you must have been arrested." To say that there is no script is a good sound, a name. Hurry up and rob, you shout the word robbery, and we'll begin. ”
Kevin just smiled and walked away calmly. After going back, I can't help but reflect on it, it seems that my fame is bigger than I imagined, and I should bring more disguise when I step on it. But the problem is that at this time in the summer, it is very deliberate to wrap a scarf and hat on the face, and it can only be said that when the other party is fully prepared, the robbery is really an almost impossible task.
But even so, Kevin is confident that he will cause them enough trouble. Late at night, Kevin went outside the barracks again, squatted in the pit alone, took out the magic book and turned it page by page, and then took out the pattern of the chandelier for comparison. After being told by Stadt, Kevin also began to pay attention to this chandelier. It is somewhat unreasonable to use gems that are beyond their value to build magical instruments. It is more likely that these gemstones have higher-value applications.
During the day, Kevin carefully wrote down the entire shape of the chandelier, drew it as it was when he returned, and then compared it with the known magic circle in the magic book. Kevin's eyes are not very good, and he can't see very clearly, but even so, he can still guess a rough idea.
At dawn, Kevin finally closed the book and came to a preliminary conclusion. The cold air in the vault should have originated from this magic chandelier, which blew the cold wind throughout the house through some water-based freezing and wind-based spells. But at the critical moment, it should be possible to carry out some deformation.
But how to deform, Kevin does not know its internal structure, naturally there is no way to know. At the same time, after a few days of probing, a conclusion has been reached. The counter lady didn't change, ordinary people. The guards have changed, but the strength is average. But there are a large number of plainclothes sheriffs hidden in the house, and they are extremely arrogant. There is a high density of parrot patrols in the vicinity, but the guards are not visible on the surface.
All the pre-work is finally basically completed, since it is over early and rests early, it will be as you wish.
On the other side, Kevin left. Several plainclothes sheriffs also whispered: "Is it really him?"
The woman in the sunhat replied, "I don't know, but it's mostly related to him." The exercise stipulates that there is only one robber, but this kind of pathfinding work is difficult to supervise, and it is not impossible to find a friend to come and pretend to be crazy and stupid. Anyway, it's right to be careful. ”
"I don't know when he's going to make a move, it's annoying to keep waiting like this. "Someone is already impatient.
"Have you heard the story of the wolf coming? Maybe he'll play it many times. The woman in the visor smiled and continued to read. And the stubble uncle next to her was already leaning back in the chair and falling asleep.
At six o'clock on Tuesday morning, the sheriffs got up on time again, and the chief captain summoned a few plainclothes people for a routine nonsense, still those serious inspections, maintaining martial law, and so on. Burdened with plainclothes tasks, they are also extremely hard, these are also their capable cadres, by no means comparable to ordinary people.
"Actually, you can still relax these days, right?" someone suggested, "If I'm a robber, then I'll have to wait until Friday, at least I have more time to prepare." ”
"This kind of thing is known only to the robbers themselves, and we can only die day by day. The captain waved his hand, "You should be glad that there is a clear time this time." ”
Suddenly, a sheriff barged in and reported: "Captain, there is a fire outside the east of the city! "At this time in June, if there is a fire in the wild, it is likely that there will really be a wildfire.
The captain immediately ordered: "Come on, transfer a team of people to extinguish the fire!"
Suddenly, the sheriff broke in three times: "Captain, there is a fire in the west of the city!" "Captain, there is a fire in the south of the city" "Captain, the pigsty in the farmer's house in the north has collapsed, and the pigs have escaped. "Captain, there are bear children throwing stones at us. ”......
Everyone was stunned, and a question instantly came to mind! "Is it a sound to attack the west?" the captain frowned.
"What's the noise?" Uncle Hu shook his head, "The vault hasn't opened yet, it's only six o'clock." ”
The chief captain was also embarrassed for a moment, it was impossible to smash open the door of the vault with the strength of the red fighting spirit. But is it really a coincidence that such a dense number of events occurred?
In the following hour, in and out of the city, there were occasional fires, collapses, gushing groundwater, pigs, dogs, and chickens, almost as a precursor to disaster. The sheriff was almost exhausted, and even though he was divided into many troops, he still felt that he was not enough. When they arrive at the scene of the incident, they find that some of them are nothing more than "pranks".
The place where the fire started was basically burning cow dung and other things, and the smoke was very large, but protective measures had already been taken around it, and ditches had been dug to prevent the fire from spreading. Other chickens and dogs jump, but they don't hurt anyone. Strangely, even though the parrots were training everywhere, no one set the fires. And with the scale of the accident happening all over the city, it is more like more than a hundred people have a plan to carry it out, how can one person run from the east of the city to the west of the city in a few minutes?
Actually, this is not too difficult for Kevin, there are about three days to prepare, which is enough. The magic array is not learned in vain, and it is not too difficult to get some low-quality spars. Easily drain a fire system ignition technique, calculate the nearest sunshine level, and the number of fire elements automatically gathered. When the time comes, it will be launched on its own.
However, since there are no professional measurement tools, Kevin's calculations are only an approximation. Therefore, some traps will be set up in advance, and some will be behind, basically within this hour or two. As long as there are enough of them, then there will be a situation where things are constantly being done.
At 7 o'clock, the vault opens at the point. Kevin came in slowly with a Bible in his hand, and the guards were still the same as yesterday, but the look in his eyes was a little different at this time. Kevin didn't think about it and continued inside.
There were eight people in the room, and at this time, they simply stopped pretending to be and just stared at Kevin. With such a big move, if you don't rob at this time, will there be a bigger stroke?
Kevin was still calm and walked up to the counter lady: "Wow, everyone is so fierce today." ”
The counter lady was a little curious at this time: "Are you really here to rob?"
"Of course not," Kevin replied, "I'm here to save money." ”
"It's all over here, and you still want to act?" Uncle Hu over there was impatient.
"That's why I proved that I wasn't a robber," Kevin replied, "otherwise why would I be acting?"
There was a moment of silence, and everyone was a little skeptical. The counter lady was helpless: "Then how much do you save this time?"
"Well, I thought about it, I'm a devout believer. You put your hand on the Bible and swear, and I will believe you. Kevin handed the Bible over.
The counter lady had no choice but to stretch out her left hand. Suddenly, Uncle Hu shouted, "Don't stretch out your hand!"
"Huh?" the counter lady was startled, her hand frozen in the air.
Kevin made a quick decision, reached out and grabbed her hand, pulled her over, pulled out a short sword from his waist and passed through the iron fence, against her neck: "The exercise has officially begun!"
The counters here are all connected with frying pans, and Kevin couldn't catch the counter lady, so he had to get a Bible or something.
When the people on the side saw the situation, they immediately jumped out, only the scumbag uncle was still sitting still, and seemed to yawn habitually. Kevin shouted, "Stop!"
The crowd stopped.
Kevin continued: "I have hostages in my hand now, all of you stand back!
The counter lady was surprised: "Are you really going to kill me?"
"Of course not," Kevin replied, "but if you don't think I'm going to kill, just rush over and kill me." Then the exercise would be meaningless. I won't kill anyone, but at least I can convict of murder!"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and a woman in a sunhat spoke: "Please calm down. ”
Kevin glanced at her, "Are you talking about the standard lines?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you go ahead. ”
"Sir, you can't escape, let go of the hostages immediately. You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will be your last words. The woman in the visor shouted as she pointed at Kevin's nose.
Kevin: "......"
"Hahahaha!" The counter lady suddenly laughed for some reason, as if she thought the scene in front of her was interesting.
Kevin turned around: "It's a robbery, be serious!"
