Chapter 12: Think about it

Kevin really lived in the editor's house, and traveled around all year round, and it was rare to settle down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info started writing his own new work in his spare time, but because the draft was lost in Sams Hill Village, he had to make it up again. Although this is not very difficult for the author himself, it is annoying. But there's no way around it.

Stadt intended Kevin to become an editor as well, helping to read the manuscript and the like, but Kevin politely declined: "Aren't you afraid that I will throw all those mainstream routine articles in the wastebasket?"

"Didn't you just persuade others to write routines?" Statt was surprised.

Kevin just shook his head: "I won't stay here for too long, I'll leave after I'm sure I'm safe." And I insist that if I read too much mainstream literature, my intelligence will also be damaged. ”

"Are you scolding me?" disgruntled Stat, who himself reads thousands of mainstream articles a day.

"Of course not," Kevin explained, "you're a businessman, and you read an article like a commodity to see if it has commercial value." I read the text to see its connotation, and if I keep looking at a bunch of things that have no connotation, then my own connotation will disappear completely. ”

"Teach others to write mainstream essays over and over again, but write non-mainstream texts yourself," Stadt just shook his head, "Are you worried that others will write more non-mainstream things in order to steal your non-mainstream status?"

"Am I so stingy?" Kevin just laughed, "People with real perseverance will not be deterred by two sentences, not to mention that what I said is also the truth." If you don't have a person with great perseverance, there is no need to walk on this path. Just like you did with Jill, you might as well sell salted fish. ”

Stat didn't persuade him more, so he let him stay, and he didn't ask for money, but gave him a guest room. Kevin lived in seclusion, huddled in his room all day, and rarely went out. However, he slept late and woke up late, and his three meals were not very fixed.

Two more days passed, and in the middle of the night, Starter finished reading a bunch of manuscripts and was ready to rest. A young maid came in with a basin and a towel on her shoulder: "Lord Baron, I will serve you to wash your feet." ”

Starter was surprised: "I don't think I've seen you before?"

"Oh, I'm new. Just ask the housekeeper to find out. The maid laughed. As a baron, it is true that he does not care about all the affairs of his domestic servants. Sometimes the butler knows what the newcomer is, of course, but the baron may not know.

"You...... Open the door first. Statt spoke.

"Isn't that right?" said the maid, surprised.

"No, open the door first, I'm athlete's foot, I'm going to open the door!" Statt insisted.

The maid was helpless, put down the basin, and went over to open the door, but there was no one in the black hole outside the door. The maid came back and picked up the basin: "Is it okay?"

"Just put the basin on the ground, and then you go out. Stadt's face was very stiff.

The maid was silent, holding the basin still, and Start didn't seem to dare to speak, and the atmosphere was stalemate for a moment. Suddenly, the maid smiled: "You seem to have found out?"

Stat sat still, not daring to speak.

"How did you find out," the maid seemed very curious, "I have also been here for a day, knowing your routine, and have just knocked out a maid and come in in her clothes." I also have a lot of contact with the high nobility, and there should be no problems with etiquette and behavior. ”

Stadt still didn't dare to speak.

"Did I just say that I had athlete's foot, so I was exposed?" recalled the maid, "but it seems that you had doubts before that. Why? Is my technique so bad?"

Stat was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up his courage: "You took my washbasin, and you told me to wash my feet." So I concluded......"

"How do you wash your face with such a broken basin?" the maid was surprised.

"Save ......" Start didn't dare to talk to her anymore, raised his voice and tried to call someone, but he only felt that the figure flickered and his neck had been choked. The rear gate also seemed to be blown by a gust of wind and closed automatically with a snap.

Start felt a sadness in his heart, he didn't know what the situation was, and suddenly, his life was over. The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and he has no will to resist at all, so he can only close his eyes and wait for death.

But after waiting for a while, I still didn't feel any pain, I was still just being choked by my throat. I couldn't help but open my eyes and look again, but I saw that the other party had been hesitating with a dagger, as if he didn't know how to start with the first knife.

"Ahem, I'm sorry," the maid was a little embarrassed, "the first time I've killed someone, I'm a little nervous." ”

Stadt: "......"

The maid took a deep breath: "Alright, I'm ready." Are you ready?"

Stadt: "......"

"Don't be afraid, because you are afraid, and you are afraid in vain. The maid seemed to comfort him.

Start burst into tears, and for a moment he felt that his brain was blank, and he kept asking himself, was he really going to die?

"Stop!" The door was slammed open, Kevin rushed in, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the maid: "Linda?"

It was clear that the maid in disguise was the Assassin Spoon. She had already arrived a day earlier, but the Assassins were cautious, so she was able to observe the neighborhood. After making sure that no one in this library was her opponent, she made a move. In order to minimize the impact and avoid causing panic, she still chose to do it at night, killing people in the street is really not the style of an assassin.

Of course Kevin knew her, the first book fan he knew, and the first person who was going to kill him. Of course, all he knew was that her name was Linda.

"Is that you?" Seeing Kevin, Little Spoon couldn't help but feel a little entangled, and finally decided to kill the editor and let Kevin go, but Kevin jumped in front of her again. Who should be killed next?

Kevin has slept late these days, but it's not that he deliberately slept so late, but that he can't sleep! A person who is being hunted down can sleep so easily with peace of mind. As soon as there is wind and grass at night, I wake up immediately, and I simply work until late at night, and I don't waste time. Although Start just shouted a word, he finally shouted it, and the servants didn't care, but Kevin couldn't sit still, and immediately came out to check, and it turned out to be this kind of thing.

Kevin didn't think that the Baron couldn't save him, but he didn't expect that even the Baron was the target of assassination.

There was silence in the room for a while, and the sound of each other's breathing could almost be heard, and all three of them were thinking. His life was at stake, and beads of sweat were already on the baron's face, and his body was even more soaked.

With a squeak, Kevin turned around and closed the door, calmly walked to the table, picked up the bottle and began to pour the wine.

The sound of the water was crisp, the aroma of wine wafted out of place with the tense atmosphere, poured two glasses, put each aside, Kevin spoke: "I'm really sorry that I didn't say goodbye in the tavern last time. You're a reader of my novels, and I haven't had a good conversation with you yet. Why don't you talk about it first?"

The little spoon thought about it, and for a while he couldn't make up his mind.

Kevin himself sat down first: "There is no rush to kill, Baron Start is only a beginner warrior level, and I am even more watery." The two of us are in this room, and we can't be your opponents. You don't have to worry. ”

The spoon was silent for a moment, covered Start's mouth with his backhand, and then stabbed him in the thigh.

"Whew!" Statt snorted, his whole body trembling in pain.

Little Spoon just ignored it: "Don't scream! I'm just trying to prevent you from running away." ”

"Woo!" Stat nodded frantically, his hands on his thighs and he didn't dare to speak, blood dripping from him. Kevin was also secretly shocked in his heart, he knew that the other party was playing for real.

The little spoon seemed to be accustomed to it, "This little injury is nothing, let's talk about it! Although the atmosphere is a little strange at the moment! But Mr. Author is still very powerful, at least he can keep his composure under the knife." ”

Kevin smiled: "What should come is still coming, everyone will die." My father was still funny when he was dying, and I think there are things to learn from him. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Little Spoon's investigation of Kevin was obviously not enough, and many things were not clear.

"Let's talk about my novel!" Kevin pulled back the topic, "You said this is a very good novel, except that the Assassin will eat." So can you tell us what's so good about this novel?"

"Well, it's humorous! I've laughed so much that my face has burned black!" replied the little spoon. The editor on the side sat on the ground, looking at this, looking at that, hugging his thighs and not daring to speak for a while.

"If you're only looking at the humorous part, you haven't seen the essence of the book," Kevin replied, "and it's called The Assassin's Biography, and it should be more enlightening to the Assassins than the average person." ”

"Oh, is it?" the little spoon scratched his head.

"One of the chapters of the Assassin's biography is set in the kingdom of Horo, which has been bullied by other countries. Until one day, a sword master was finally born in the kingdom. In order to be strong, the kingdom forcibly sent adult women from all over the country to the Sword Saint to give birth, 365 days a year. One year later, more than 200 babies with the bloodline of Juggernaut were born. ”

"Well, I know!" Talking about the plot, Little Spoon began to get excited, "At that time, Juggernaut used to say to the moon, 'It feels like your body is hollowed out'. ”

"Every newborn baby is raised by the state and forced to start brainwashing education. Eat the best in kind and receive the most rigorous training. Be compelled to obey the king's orders without any hesitation. Putting the interests of the country above everything else and taking one's own life as insignificant," Kevin sighed, "Ten years later, more than 200 children who are only in their teens already have the strength of the seventh, eighth, or even ninth order. I believe that it won't be long before the Sword Saint realm will be reached sooner or later. The Sword Master who has reached it can once again convene the women of the whole country to give birth, and the cycle repeats, such a country is undoubtedly invincible. ”

"Yes!" the little spoon nodded, "why doesn't the real country do this?"

Kevin just smiled: "It's just a novel, don't take it seriously." In reality, it is not only a matter of ethics and morality, but also the most basic food problem. Cultivating a Juggernaut is not something that black bread can do. ”

"Oh, yes. Little Spoon nodded. The editor on the side was still sitting on the ground, looking at the two of them with a depressed expression.

"At that time, the head of the Assassins' Guild personally stepped out and approached the king, passing the ...... Unscrupulous to gain the king's trust. In the end, he succeeded in assassinating the king and issuing a decree in his place. Send 200 die-hard masters to the northern frigid lands in search of the Dragon Balls. and strictly ordered that they could not be found and were not allowed to come back, and these 200 diehards really went, but they all froze to death over there. Other countries felt that this country was too crazy, and raised troops to fight against it, and it was destroyed that year. ”

"Actually, there are no Dragon Balls, but other countries feel the crisis and send the Assassin Guild Master to kill them. The Assassins' Guild Master assassinated the king without a single soldier, annihilating more than 200 die-hard masters in one fell swoop. In terms of credit, I'm afraid only the protagonist in the book can compare. ”

Little Spoon was silent, remembering her father.

"Of course fiction is fiction, it's nothing more than my fiction. Kevin replied, "However, if we had set up the link in reverse, if a few of these die-hard masters had doubted the orders of the 'king' at that time, I am afraid that it would not have ended so simply after that." ”

"We usually say that one should be loyal to one's country, and if one is a soldier, one should be obedient. I'm sure you Assassins are pretty much the same. This is so because most people are not intelligent enough to fully understand the decisions of the superiors, and it is impossible for the superiors to fully explain to them. So it's okay to get them to obey. Kevin said eloquently, "But in fact, the superior is also a human being, and human beings will make mistakes sometimes." Maybe most of the time it's not obvious that they make mistakes, but sometimes, it's silly cute. ”

"Three years ago, in the civil war of the Black Gobi Mercenary Alliance, two large mercenary groups fought in the dark, with hundreds of casualties, but the result was nothing more than a battle of words. When one side saw that the other party's mercenary leader was actually a woman, he despised the teasing sentences, which led to a group battle between the two groups. In the end, the headquarters of the Mercenary Alliance intervened, but the two groups have been mortal enemies to this day. What do you think is the difference between the superiors of these two parties and the children on the roadside who fight and call them cousins because of a dispute of words?"

"Six years ago, the king announced the reduction of the nobility, reducing a large number of useless and lazy people to commoners. But it could not be carried out at all, and only one month later, the king revoked his decree. Just the next day, the king changed his decree drastically curtailing the commoners to become noble. You only need to join the army for 2 years, and you will be a quasi-knight when you come out. Make a little more contribution, and that's a baron. I don't mean to speak ill of the king, but it is an indisputable fact that the order of the dynasty changes. ”

"The Lane Empire and our country have long signed a trade treaty, the other party sold us magic crystals and other minerals, and we sold them gold and a large number of food crops. However, the import tariffs of the other side have been increasing year by year, which is significantly higher than the content of the treaty. The contract is just a piece of paper, so why did you sign it in the first place?"

"15 years ago, my father burned to death on the cross along with the editor's father. It wasn't until two years ago that the church finally admitted its mistakes and gave an apology and reparations. But to be honest, it's just a piece of paper, and those who have gone will not come back after all. Kevin finished speaking, a little sad.

The little spoon was silent, where did the 16-year-old know something, and she was at a loss at this time.

"Is the order of the superior necessarily right?" Kevin asked, "If it is obviously wrong, do you still carry it out?"

"But, I'm an Assassin......" The little spoon said in a slightly small voice.

"Assassins, there should be the glory of assassins. I made it clear in my book that if an Assassin is not for justice, what is the difference between a Assassin and a summoned beast, and if an Assassin cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and you kill one innocent person after another, don't you feel guilty?" Kevin asked.

"I ......" the little spoon was embarrassed.

"If you think I'm insulting the Assassin Guild Leader, but it's actually me who compliments the Assassin Guild Master! Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're assassinating for a non-existent reason?

"This ......"

"Finally, I ask you to think about it, if the author dies and the editor dies, do you still have a book to read?"

The little spoon sat still, completely dazed.
