Kevin still remembers that before going abroad, the main means of transportation in China was horse-drawn carriages, but when he returned to China, the road was driven by this strange-shaped wooden car. Although it can still be seen that the Rolling Stone Circle is used as the power, it seems that the engine is dismantled, then installed in the carriage, and finally the horse is removed.

It was also because there was originally a carriage with horses, but suddenly the horses were gone, and the cart looked a little weird. But as weird as it looks, its performance isn't bad at all. It can even be said that due to the lack of armor, its speed is still higher than that of the comma tank.

"What's the name of this car now?" Kevin wondered.

"It's called a magic car," replied the greeting officer, "and it's magically driven, it's simple." Specifically, the mode of travel or drive mode is constantly subdivided. ”

"Alas, it's all magic, and the warriors have no future. General Oude suddenly sighed half-jokingly.

The official was also calm: "There is no way, when the fighting spirit can also make a fighting qi array like a spell, it will be of great use." ”

The Assassin Master replied, "Yes! Essentially, vindictiveness comes primarily from oneself, while magic comes from the outside world to a greater extent. Therefore, magic can be better at transforming the outside world than vindictiveness, benefiting the weak or civilians. If the living conditions of the common people improve, they will be able to drive society forward even more, and more strong people will be produced, and so on and so forth. Since ancient times, mages have often had a higher status than warriors, and it is not for nothing. Even if a warrior and a mage have the same combat effectiveness, as a superior person, they should be more inclined to be a mage. ”

"It's true that there are a lot of magic weapons, but there are very few vindictive weapons," Kevin interjected, "even if the comma chariot hurts people with its drifting sword qi, it is still Rolling Stone magic when it is activated." Magical weapons can do it for even a child, and if you drop a hedron in the right place, you can unleash powerful high-level spells. But the Fighting Spirit weapon is almost impossible, and at most it can only increase the user's strength. ”

"I know," replied General Oude with a nod, "so my knights should also be changed, and in the future, warriors with magic weapons can still fight." That's the current funding......"

Talking about this, there was a sudden silence in the car. Kevin didn't dare to interject, but he heard Starter say that the Knights of Thunder in China could only sit on a fake car and pretend to drive. It is hard to imagine the extent to which it is lacking in funds.

"It's here. A moment later, the car pulled over. The crowd followed the officials into the palace, Kevin had been there once when he had heard the report, and now it seemed that nothing had changed here.

After walking through the usual corridors, turning a few corners, I finally came to a side hall. The greeting officer told Kevin and the others to rest for a while, and he went to report. After a few more moments, the guards entered the door directly, signaling for the two Juggernauts and Kevin to pass, while the others stayed in the side hall to rest.

The three followed the guards down the hallway to the end of the hall, then pushed the door in.

The hall was crowded with people, with a long oval conference table in the middle and His Majesty the King at one end, and the two rows of the oval were occupied by dignitaries of great powers, including the Imperials. On both sides of the hall were envoys from various countries, all holding pens in one hand and paper in the other, brushing records.

The guards motioned for Kevin and the others to sit down on the sidelines, the king apparently had no time to question them at the moment, and the meeting seemed to be still negotiating.

I saw an Imperial man speak: "I have repeated again and again that this incident was caused by a retired officer's slippery hand when punishing an active officer. We are willing to apologize for our mistakes and compensate for them. At the same time, he also expressed concern about the siege of the Chinese embassy in Lou Pauler...... "There are a lot of balabala, which are basically read out according to the book, and they are all political clichés.

As soon as he finished speaking, the also stood up, and it was also a bunch of clichés. It is to the effect that it expresses its own position, that the past is irretrievable, and that everyone will live in harmony in the future.

After that, the light elf stood up, and his argument was even higher: "In fact, in the final analysis, it is the inevitable outcome caused by too high personal strength. With such a strong strength, sooner or later it will be missed, which seems to be accidental, but in fact, if the length of time is extended and the number of people is enlarged, it is an inevitability. One person may not miss, but a large group of people, for a long time, then there will always be someone who misses. ”

"Even the current forbidden weapons, our country has been extremely opposed to them, and calls on all countries that possess banned curses to destroy them as soon as possible. Because don't look at the fact that everyone is putting up with it now, there are strong security measures. But if you take a longer time and amplify the volume, one day, someone will make a mistake. When the time comes, it will be a world war, a curse on each other, and the world will be destroyed! The safest measure is that there will be no curse. ”

The tone of the argument caused the room to fall into a brief silence, but soon began to whisper again. After the light elf finished speaking, the man also sat down. The Dark Elves spoke: "Today's topic is not about the abolition of forbidden spells, so please don't digress. ”

Then the Dark Elves also elaborated on some of their own opinions, but only relatively neutrally. Although the probability of the Sword Saint slipping is very small, it really can't prove that he is not slippery, and he doesn't say anything else, it's all routine hope for peace and the like.

After a lap, it seemed that it was the king's turn to speak, and the room suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were focused on the king.

The situation is already very obvious, no one in the international community will support Lou Paule to declare war on the empire, and even if there is, it is a good show, and no one will support it substantively. It can be said that at a critical stage of domestic development and transformation, it is really not suitable for the outbreak of war. However, domestic sentiment is high, and accepting an apology at this time will undoubtedly disappoint the public......

To fight or not to fight, a choice must be made, and the king must bear it in the end. What is the difference between bravery and recklessness, what is the difference between cowardice and prudence? Sometimes the difference is only in the result. Perhaps decades later, the results will gradually emerge, and people can look back on the past and experience the mood at that time.

The king stood up, and in the midst of all his eyes, stretched out his hand: "Take the clothes!"

The crowd was shocked, and then a soldier hurried to the king with a piece of clothing. It was an old garment, with a strong sense of age, and the king put it on casually. The soldier handed him a shovel, and the king took it. This is an ordinary shovel, and the shovel head is still a little rusty.

The crowd whispered, wondering what the king was going to do with his old clothes and shovel?

Suddenly, the king waved. Progressively split, sideways block, flip and pick ...... One move is simple, clear, and clean. In the middle of the way, he lifted his pants twice from time to time, as if the pants were about to fall off.

All of the people present were well-informed, and in terms of combat techniques, this was just the most crude basic martial arts, created in order to train civilians. But the historical significance behind it, and the answer represented by the king's actions at this moment, made everyone take it seriously. Even if it's a funny action of lifting pants in the middle, no one can laugh out.

"Dancing Shovel Class!" the Imperial man subconsciously spoke, and his thoughts seemed to return to a distant battlefield for a moment.

You must know that the so-called weak class or strong class is just a general term. Depending on the degree of strength and the different circumstances of each country, various specific classes will be born. The Dancing Shovel Class, and a branch of the weak class, is also considered to be the weakest, poorest, and lowest class, without any weapons on the body, and can only dance the shovel against the enemy.

The shovel is a basic tool for most civilians, from farmers to miners. At that time, in order to mobilize them, Lou Baole specially created a set of shovel techniques and practiced them every day. In the end, it became a symbol, a symbol, and it can be said to be a culture to this day, and the full name is Lou Baole National Dance Shovel Class Funnyman.

Burlesque is a spirit of optimism, which is embodied in the deliberate addition of a little funny element to the shovel dance, which is the spirit that inspires everyone to fight together in the most difficult times.

That's basically what Kevin handed over to the quilt brave, and the dance shovel was just because of the too distinct Lou Baole national label, so it was discarded. But the dance shovel is just a form, and what Kevin teaches is the core.

At that time, it grew from the weakest and poorest class. The powerful class even called themselves serious in order to correspond to propaganda, trying to confront the funny. They are also subconsciously serious in all aspects, and regard the funny as shameful behavior. In the end, however, the comics sit on a large part of the country, and the serious ......

In fact, aren't serious people funny? Aren't funny people serious? What is the essential difference between funny and serious? Many people try to explain it in one sentence, but this is not something that can be explained in one sentence at all. Look at today's serious people, the Legislative Yuan is sprinkled and fighting, hoarse but does not copy the guys, only sprinkles flour and eggs, and the superiors are chaotic like clowns, but they still call it ...... Serious.

And the funnyman has been able to tie with the coalition led by the empire. That war, that comical shovel, became a memory that the people of the empire did not want to mention. In the end, the two sides signed an armistice agreement in a shop that sold door panels, which also doomed another country to turn the civil war into a foreign war.

Time has passed, and the route of Lou Baole itself has also undergone some changes. There are many people who question whether the once powerful Shovel class still exists. But no matter what, the king is still dancing the shovel.

What was the message? The king said nothing.

Maybe it's just a warning, maybe it's just a bluff, maybe it's just the king coming out to make a joke, it depends on how well the individual understands. But as a rule, not saying anything means that he knows that what he says may not make sense, may not be appropriate to say in such an occasion, but still have a firm position to express!

At this moment, Kevin thought of when he killed Robles. The phrase "I am going to kill you" may have meant what the king was trying to convey at this time, right?

The meeting finally dispersed, and the king said nothing more. Soon the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will make a statement, and the outcome is almost entirely predictable. There will be no war, but it will not accept the rhetoric of the Imperials, on the one hand, it is necessary to dilute the mood as soon as possible and devote itself to normal order. It will undoubtedly disappoint many people, but there is nothing to be done.

Kevin and the others were supposed to meet him, but the king said he was tired. And the report written by Kevin has already been submitted, so there is no need for an audience.

When you walk out of the palace, it is time to part. Spoon and Nine were to follow the Assassin President, Jack to his own Scout, Fett to her Sheriff's ranks, and Kevin, Sain, and Start to follow General Oude back to the Knights of Thunder.

Everyone in the kobold camp is considered to have been born and died, and at this time, they are suddenly separated, and everyone can't help but feel sad. However, the two sword saints were open-minded: "It's nothing, the country is safe." Now that there is the Internet, when you want to get together, just make an appointment online. ”

"yes, we'll meet again," Kevin began, "I've decided too, I'll go to the academy when I retire." It's relatively easy, there are more holidays, and you can learn something. Although you can't teach any combat skills, you can still teach some cultural lessons. ”

The two Sword Masters glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed knowing smiles.

"Am I falling into some trap again?" said Kevin, looking at their smiles.

"Don't worry, you should really give you some rest time to complete such a big task. The Assassin leader spoke, "Well, you're still young after all, and you're a rare talent. In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, a military exercise single-handedly killed two regiments, saved most of the Thunder Knights, and also had a large group of book fans in the Assassin Guild. The kobolds, on their part, even quelled the war between the two countries, stole back major information, and added one more ally to our country. Such a talent, you want to retire at the age of 30?"

Kevin hurriedly humbled himself: "It's all thanks to everyone." ”

General Ode: "Kevin, I'm asking you a question. Aside from that kind of vain reasoning, now you can talk about your true feelings. What do you think the country is to you?"

Kevin looked at the magical city around him and smiled: "How I feel now, that's where I can get shelter when I come back here after I went crazy outside." ”

The two Sword Saints smiled: "In this case, we will be relieved." We'll send you out to make trouble again. ”

Kevin: "......"

While talking and laughing, everyone waved goodbye. Following General Oude back to the barracks and hurriedly completing the retirement procedures, Kevin did not hand over anything. The sword, shield, armor, cloak and even the space ring are all retained, except for the relatively large amount of property in the ring, which can basically be taken away by Kevin. Even the little tiger was sent to the academy in advance, and it still belonged to Kevin. Of course, domestic regulations prohibit tigers from being brought to the streets, and even if they are raised at home, they need to go through complicated procedures and consider the surrounding neighbors. In fact, keeping in the academy is the best choice.

As for the huge amount of property, a considerable part of it belonged to the public funds allocated to him by the country, which were used to support the kobolds or bribe the people of the empire, etc., and now that the mission is over, this money has also been handed over. But a little bit more, a little bit of oil and water, went into Kevin's own purse.

Looking back at the barracks, there are quite a lot of changes here. The building was built, the cavalry regiment became a chariot regiment, and the catapult camp was still there. Kevin still wanted to meet an acquaintance, but unfortunately everyone happened to be training outside at this time, there was no lively retirement party, no sensational scenes, Kevin walked out of the barracks alone.

That's fine, if a group of people come up and ask questions. It's inconvenient for Kevin to tell the truth, and he has to make up stories, which is quite troublesome.

Late that night, Kevin found a random hotel to live in, unloaded his baggage, and slept soundly.

Suddenly, Kevin woke up with a cold face, and was shocked to find that there were already people standing next to the bed, all masked in black, and playing with daggers in their hands.

"I heard you're retired?" asked the man in black.

"This ......," Kevin's brain reacted quickly, "isn't the update a little slow?" This ......"

"It's okay, we're used to it anyway. The men in black laughed.

"Well, can you put the dagger down and talk?" said Kevin, laughing dryly.

"Well, we're used to it. Hahaha!" the crowd continued to play with the dagger.

"Then ...... you are here this time," Kevin asked tentatively.

"Oh, it's okay, don't be nervous," the group replied, "we're here to deliver some heart." Come, give pen and paper to the author. ”

Kevin is embarrassed, and it seems that a new story is about to begin.

Volume 1, The Bard's Journey in the Army—The End.
