Chapter 385
Robles is dead, and there is no threat from the Kobold Capital. There was still the big tiger left, but at this time the tiger had no intention of attacking you at all, just stood there, watching everyone vigilantly.
Robles' severed arm had fallen off in the distance, still clutching the wand in his hand. Knowing that the wand was the tiger's controller, a kobold soldier immediately hurried to pick it up.
The tiger suddenly slapped his palm on the ground, and there was a tiger roar, and the surrounding stones rolled around. Everyone around them turned around and took up their weapons, looking nervous. The soldier who had gone to pick up the wand also subconsciously stopped.
"Don't pick up that wand," Kevin hurriedly said, "I can't control you even if I pick it up, and don't think that Robles is dead, the tiger is yours." No, the contract with the pet was Bradley himself, and the wand was only in place of control. As long as Bradley himself had a summoning spell, the tiger was summoned. β
The kobolds couldn't help but look disappointed, but they quickly came to their senses and began to pick up the corpses. As a retinue of the Sword Master, Robles was naturally well equipped, and several kobold soldiers immediately swarmed up. A moment later, the once high Imperial, with no pants left behind, was thrown bare-bottomed into the mud.
Many kobolds also spit on his corpse, which shows that kobolds also hate the Imperials. When Kevin saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Why didn't you see how happy you were after taking revenge?" the crow couldn't help but wonder.
"What do you think should be the mood after revenge?happy?happy??," Kevin asked rhetorically, "I don't know if there is such a person, but it's a pity that I'm not at least not." For me, it's just that I finally have an account, an account for Gray. β
"Do you really hate Robles?" asked Raven.
"Sort of. Kevin pondered for a moment, then replied.
"Just a little? Or are you being humble. The crow asked.
"There's no need for modesty," Kevin shook his head, "and it's not enough to hate Robles just because of Gray's death. There are many reasons for this situation, hating him? Do you still hate the general? Hate the staff officer? Or even hate myself? The whole thing is complicated, and if you want to find out the culprit behind the scenes, you need to think rationally. And the more rational it is, the less emotional there is like hatred. At the same time, truly rational thinking is not only from your own point of view, but also empathy, thinking from multiple angles, so that it is bound to understand the original intention of the other party. β
"Now my approach is very similar to his, and of course I can understand it. However, even if the hatred is reduced, the practice will not change. It's like two situations, one kind of enemy meeting, one person frantically stomps the enemy under his feet, and then laughs, 'You have today'. The other one is very bland, like I said, 'I just want you to die,' and I don't have to do it myself, I just sit and watch. β
Both are equally revenge, the former is driven by pure hatred, and the person is in a state of extreme excitement and even madness. And the latter, not so much revenge, is about completing the task. This is my compensation for the failure to command as a commander, and I ...... an explanation to Gray" Kevin paused abruptly and shook his head, "Although it is an explanation, in fact, I clearly know that Gray is dead, he can neither see nor hear, this is the sadness of atheists." You can't fool yourself. β
The crow was stunned and turned to look at Kevin, only to see that the corners of Kevin's eyes were a little moist.
"So you're saying I've set a bad example for you?" Kevin blinked a few times and regained his emotions, "I don't think so, because of this killing, the emotion of revenge is a small part, and more of a task and responsibility. It's not revenge at all, you know?"
The raven was silent for a moment: "I think you're fooling me." You took revenge on yourself, and then persuaded me to let go of your hatred, is that what you mean?"
Kevin shook his head.
The crow shook his head: "I know that our positions are different, you stand on the side of the human race, and I stand on the side of the crow." I know that it will be very difficult for me to get revenge, especially if it is already clear to you. At the same time, I don't want to be hostile to you if possible. I can even understand the way of experimenting, in the lab we are guinea pigs, and if it weren't for the experiment, I wouldn't have the intelligence. If I were an experimenter, I wouldn't necessarily have the courage to let go of a crow pretending to be dead if I had been ordered to destroy the experimental materials. β
"But even so, I want revenge," replied the crow, "and as you said, I just want revenge." You can find a reason for revenge, or you can find a reason to give up revenge, and you can't convince me with words. β
"There will be a way. Kevin could only sigh.
"I wish there was such a way," replied the crow, "but don't use the routine stuff, the kind of deliberately creating danger, and then letting the enemy come and save me, I will cry 'Why are you the one who saved me?' This bloody plot, and the mentally retarded plot of taking off a piece of clothing and putting it there for me to stab, fooling me into saying that I have taken revenge, is useless to me!"
Kevin: "......"
Kevin didn't talk any more, got up and climbed out of the chariot. The quilt warrior and the king immediately greeted them, and Kevin also nodded to them: "You can take all the looted things, if there is information or confidential documents, give me a copy, I don't want anything else." β
The two nodded, this was a rule that had been agreed before the war. In addition to Robles this time, a large number of dragon knights were killed, and the seized materials can be said to be quite a lot. However, after all, the difference between the size of the Terrans and the kobolds is too big, the equipment cannot be worn directly, and the weapons are difficult to use directly, but at least there is a lot of money in the pocket, which is also a small fortune.
"And me!" said the Dark Elf Ambassador, who jumped out of nowhere, "I'm just like Kevin, and I don't want any other mess, but if there are classified documents or something, give me a copy too." β
"Okay. The Quilt Warrior nodded in agreement, and the Dark Elf Ambassador did a great favor in this battle.
"Sir, we've found these!" a soldier ran over with something like a book, "it was found in his spatial ring." β
Kevin and the Dark Elf glanced at each other and gave in to each other, but when they took it over, the cover of the book was "How to Get along with Ace Pen".
The two looked at each other in surprise, thinking that this was mostly a disguise, and that it might be a classified document inside. Kevin took it first, picked up his umbrella, and hurriedly flipped through it, and the Dark Elf ambassador also came up to watch.
As a result, the first sentence was: "What if you meet Ace Pen in your life? Support all his views and raise him to be a great Ace Pen." β
The following is a large discussion of the title, as well as an analysis of classic examples. Kevin hurriedly flipped back, only to see that there was something similar behind him. I wondered if the secret was so hidden, or was it really just a pastime book?
"Sir, there's another copy here. One of the guards brought another copy.
The two hurriedly took it, but saw that it was "How to Get along with Ace Pen (continued)", Kevin hurriedly flipped through it until the last page, which read: "Thank you for reading the whole book, now you can go and find Ace Pen, I wish you success." β
"This man is boring!" sighed the Dark Elf.
Kevin closed the book and was about to open his mouth when a soldier came over with a notebook. When the two of them saw the notebook, their eyes lit up, this was probably his magic note, with the strength of an eighth-order mage, it could be said to be very valuable.
As a result, I turned the first page: "I felt when I read "How to Get Along with Ace Pen". β
Two: "......"
"Anyway, these things are copied from each other, maybe there are some code words in them, or hide the head and tail or something. Kevin is still very cautious.
The quilt brave man coughed dryly: "I'll give you these materials, it's useless for us to keep them." β
"That's okay," Kevin was not polite, turning to the Dark Elf Ambassador and saying, "In this case, you can choose a copy and take it first." Then we'll copy it together, and we'll just swap it two days later. How?"
The Dark Elf Ambassador nodded, really unkind, and took the notebook directly. Kevin has no objection, in fact, there are a lot of circle drawings on those two books, who knows if there is any profound connotation.
After winning the loot, the dark elves had nothing to do here, and immediately waved goodbye to everyone, and the people disappeared into the rain after a while.
In the air, the parrot flew from the top of the mountain, circled around and found the crowd, swooped down, and landed on Kevin's shoulder, already gasping for breath.
"You're here," Kevin was a little nervous, "How's it going over there? Good news or bad news?"
"Good news!" the parrot gasped, "the last main city of the rebels has been captured, and the shaman of the rebels has been killed. And he's also a necromancer. All in all, all the best. β
Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, and the quilt brave over there was suddenly very excited, and hurriedly translated Lou Pauler's Chinese to everyone. Suddenly, the kobolds were excited, and one by one they began to shout, sing and dance, and even roll. At a glance, it was really a cheer all over the mountains.
Only the king did not move with his sword, and there was no expression on his face, which was out of step with the cheerful atmosphere around him.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
"Nothing. But the king did not intend to answer.
Kevin still communicated in imperial Chinese: "With your personal strength, it should not be difficult to oppose the quilt brave." But given the current situation, it's not the right thing for you to do right away. At least wait for the Empire's next attitude to come out before making a decision. β
"Does it really make sense for us to do this?" asked the king suddenly, "to tell you the truth, I certainly would not be willing to be a servant of the Brave Quilt, and I am a little skeptical that the egg-like thing he gave me to eat would really kill me." It can be said that as long as I do not die suddenly, then the division of the country is predictable. After going around in such a circle, it is still split. β
"What did you say about the reshuffling of power and the redistribution of classes? But how can you be sure that this distribution is justified now?" the king shook his head, "do you know who the shaman is? β
"Even so, we are not going to part ways. But soon, we found out that the Imperials were cultivating power in our country, and many city lords had directly obeyed the Imperials. We tried to remove the lord of the city and tried to suppress it, but with great difficulty. Even soon, the Imperials had already found us directly. β
"Why did I become a ninth-order powerhouse? Why did he do necromancy? That's actually part of the Empire's reward. We pretend to be clever and discuss that if we pretend to be hostile, the Imperial people want to buy people, won't we have to spend money on both sides, and we will not make a lot of money? At the same time, we can also find out that the Imperial people have bought those city lords, and we will also enter the whole system and control it better. This is much better than forcibly removing or suppressing it. β
"It went well at first, but very quickly, the fight got out of hand and the fake fight became a real fight. There were dead people on both sides, and the hatred grew, and the city lord did not listen to our orders, and in the end, he and I could only stay in our respective cities, and the rest was left to chance. The king smiled bitterly.
"At the same time, after I reach the ninth order powerhouse, I will never be able to ascend again. I don't know if it's because of my constitution, or if the people of the Empire don't allow the Juggernaut to appear, but I'm disheartened. My daughter kept telling me big things, and I thought she was very naΓ―ve, and even regretted sending her to study abroad. The king sighed and pulled back to the topic.
"If I divide and conquer with the Quilt Brave, then it is the same as dividing and conquering with the Shaman in the first place. I am afraid that the initial tacit understanding with the shaman is higher than that with the quilt brave, and the quilt warrior will kill my whole family......" The king stopped for a moment, and then changed the subject, "I'm afraid the result will be the same." The quilt warrior probably won't surrender to me, and I don't intend to surrender to him. It's just back to the way things were. Either I kill him here, or he finds an opportunity to kill me in the future, one of them will die. β
Kevin sighed, "You take division and unification too seriously. Throughout history, it has been a common thing to divide and merge, with strong countries turning foreign wars into civil wars, and weak countries turning civil wars into foreign wars. If you are indeed a weak country, then you can only follow this law and want to change, then you can only become stronger and then fight back. If you have to fight another civil war, the losses will be immeasurable, and your country may even be destroyed. β
"Also, you said that the Cotton Quilt killed your whole family," Kevin continued, "and you want revenge, and I can understand that." However, there are many ways to take revenge, and direct killing is the most brutal and the most boring. To take true revenge, we must completely surpass him and defeat him in the field he is best at! What is the quilt brave man good at? He is good at governing the country and at integrating into the grassroots. If you surpass the quilt warrior in this regard, then it can be regarded as real revenge. β
"What are you ......," the king was still sober, "fooling me into trying to govern the country?"
"How can this be a fool?" Kevin asked rhetorically, "Just like me, Robles is good at doing things behind the scenes, and I killed him by doing things behind the scenes." If you can snatch the popularity of the quilt brave, the majesty of the quilt warrior, and leave him with nothing, that is the real revenge. β
The quilt warrior also came over at this time, and when he heard this, he smiled: "If there is such a day, I will dedicate my head to you." β
King: "......"
Kevin hurriedly stopped: "You can't say that, it's not interesting for him to take revenge when you say that." You should provoke him and even go crazy in front of him. β
The quilt warrior instantly realized: "If we are divided, what will we compare with the gross national product, the infrastructure, the foreign exchange reserves, the average life expectancy, and the infant mortality rate in the first month, you say." If you can win me, win me once, and cede a city to you, until there is nothing left of what I have ceded, and then you will come and take my head. How?"
King: "......"
"Well, one month is too little," the quilt warrior corrected himself, "a year, oh no, five years! β
King: "......"
Kevin turned and left, and the problem on the kobold's side was basically solved, and although they were still divided, the result was still good. Now it's up to the Empire......
Suddenly, the big tiger roared again, and everyone hurriedly quieted down, a little overwhelmed, and all looked at Kevin. Kevin thought about it and understood. The raven had just promised it to go to its son, and now that it was all done, it was time to keep its promise. Otherwise, the big tiger will go crazy, and a large number of people may die here.
Calling out the crow, a man and a bird came to the tiger. Kevin needed to look up to barely reach its whiskers, and the smell of fish hit his nose. I have to say, a little nervous.
"I'll take you to see your son now, it's a bit far away, I hope you ......" Kevin was halfway through his words, and the tiger suddenly opened his mouth, ahhhhhhh
Kevin was so frightened that he almost went into shock, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the tiger tooth was clicking on his neck, and it only needed a little force to be eaten. Under the transition tension, the fishy smell is not very obvious.
The tiger shook its neck at the crow, and Kevin hurriedly shouted, "Take it away!"
The crow did not dare to be ambiguous, and hurriedly flew into the distance. The tiger leaped and ran wildly on land, and the speed was still above the crow flying in the air. Seeing that he was not flying as fast as it, the crow simply landed on top of it and opened his mouth to show the way.
Kevin is in the tiger's mouth, and the taste is really not something that ordinary people can bear. As the tiger's panting became thicker and thicker, the fishy smell became heavier, and the heat hit the face, coupled with violent shaking and danger. If it weren't for Kevin's life and death, he would probably faint at this time.
After running for a while, the tiger felt tired and pressed his tongue against it, turning Kevin over. One more moment, another one, another moment, another one......
"Old man, are you sure you want to raise a tiger in the future?" the crow communicated to him through a spiritual contract.
Kevin was extremely uncomfortable at this time, and just kept asking, "How much longer?"
"Morning," replied the crow, "bear with me for a day or two." β
Kevin: "......"
