Kevin and the others lived in a small hut for the time being, the family was poor, and there was almost nothing except a table, chair, and a bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info And mosquitoes breed, dust is all over the ground, there are a lot of cobwebs, and many places are moldy, this kind of place to take care of people, it definitely takes a lot of effort.

However, fortunately there was a wind mage present, and Jack easily performed a whirlwind spell, swept away all the mess in the room, and threw it out the door. But this man has a strange obsessive-compulsive fetish, and all the asymmetrical things, he looks very uncomfortable.

If there is a hole on the left side of the door, he can't help but punch a hole on the right side as well. The moldy foot of the inner bed was a bit disgusting, so he cut off the outer and inner foot of the bed together. When he was sleeping at night, he passed by an ant, and he found that the two tentacles of this ant were one long and one short, and he couldn't help but flick a wind blade with his fingers to flatten the two tentacles, and then he fell asleep satisfied.

Everyone can only say that they are speechless, anyway, it is just some personal little habits.

In the middle of the night, Laulu woke everyone up in turn and prepared to climb over the wall. Laulu advises everyone not to use magic unless absolutely necessary, as magic fluctuations will be detected. Kevin and Jack are very serious, trying to adjust their condition to the best they can and carefully checking their weapons.

But in the end, he just came to the outside of the wall peacefully, and Laulu threw a rope on it, and then pulled the rope and stepped on the wall and went up. It was so easy to enter the other party's main city, and it was also the main border city, which was like child's play.

"It all feels like our backyard. The little spoon couldn't help but speak, "I just jumped in and went in." ”

"Haha, what are you doing with such a small country?" Jack laughed, "Isn't it okay to go in and take them by the army?"

Kevin just shook his head at this, "There are a lot of problems here, and it is better for many small countries to keep than to occupy them." Large and small countries are like rich men and beggars, and the rich will never rob the copper coins of the beggars on the roadside, and the increased wealth is negligible, but there are too many copper coins, and the diaphragm should be in the pocket. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly torches appeared on the side, and the entire section of the wall was illuminated as if it were day. One of the leading guards shouted, "Who?"

Everyone changed color in unison, and Laulu directly turned into a figure, climbed over the wall again, and then hurried away. Kevin and the others followed, and the archers behind them fired arrows. The little spoon immediately shook his hand, and a cold light appeared, waving like the wind, like a barrier, knocking down the arrows one by one.

Everyone ran for miles before finally stopping, and the other party didn't seem to be chasing. But everyone was not very reassured, and they still ran away before stopping.

Kevin only saw clearly at this time that the little spoon was holding a silver spear, the barrel of which was multi-knotted and seemed to be retractable. I saw her hand shake, and the body of the gun automatically retracted, turning into a short gun that was only one arm long.

Lauru stood aside with a black face, he was undoubtedly mainly responsible for the failure of this wall, but he still couldn't figure it out until this time: "How can this be, I went in and out here three months ago, and I climbed over the wall casually!"

"Maybe the other party is under martial law, right?" Little Spoon just guessed casually, "At least everyone is fine." ”

But Kevin is also quite puzzled by this, he has been to this country before. It's almost a decadent, chaotic, and even more primitive country. Although he came a few years ago and only stayed for a week, Kevin has traveled a lot of places after all, and he clearly knows that it is very difficult to really clean up this kind of country.

The soldiers wanted to take bribes, and the corpses outside the city were not cared for, and there was a puddle of mud from top to bottom. Judging by the daytime conversations alone, they haven't changed much from before. I haven't heard of any change in their policies, let alone a change of king.

Why would such a group of people suddenly and accurately ambush them? Could it be that their laziness is all superficial work? Is it a paralyzing strategy that is very strict at night? Or is there some other reason?

"Anyway, we're going to go in. "But the configuration of our group is somewhat obvious, and tomorrow we must separate and find a way to enter the city ourselves." If you really can't do it, just spend some money. ”

Everyone was slightly stunned, but did not object. All three of them were assassins, and no matter how new they were, they were better than Kevin and the others. Kevin was a bard who traveled all over the world. Jack is also a mage, and in this backward place, the identity of a mage is also a good symbol.

In the end, the people still don't have this kingdom in their eyes. Even if he is ambushed, he still escapes easily.

At this time, in the border security department of Leibozier, several leading guards ran in all the way, talking and laughing all the way, and did not become serious until they entered the account, and gave a military salute: "Sir, someone really tried to climb over the wall to get in today." ”

"What about people?" asked the security chief, who was sitting in the middle.

"Ran. The soldier replied.

"Why did you let them run?" roared the Chief.

"Run, run, run. "The soldier's qualifications seem to be quite old.

"What did you say?" the chief couldn't hold his face, and his voice was a little higher.

"There are so many people who climb over the wall every day, haven't you seen them arrest before?" the soldier's voice was a little quieter, but his heart was obviously unconvinced.

The chief blushed: "You get out of here!"

Instead, the soldiers went out happily as if they were under amnesty.

The chief sighed helplessly, closed the door, and closed the window. Then a portrait behind him was removed, and a secret door appeared behind it. Knocked lightly: "General, did you hear that?"

An older voice came from behind the door: "I hear you." ”

"General, don't get me wrong, our military discipline is actually very strict. Ordinary soldiers would never dare to talk to me like that," explained the commander, "but this guy is about to be discharged, and it is generally more difficult to control. ”

"Hehe," laughed from behind the door, "it's a failure anyway." ”

"But we at least managed to intercept them from entering the city. The chief reluctantly found a contribution for himself.

"Why don't you go yourself?" asked from behind the door.

"I, I also have a very important task on my side, and I can't get out of it. The chief still defended himself.

"Okay, let's not talk more," a wry smile came from behind the door, "The matter of the attack on the recruits in the Fierce Poison Forest has already caused a stir over there. The other party has vigorously investigated all the mercenary groups, but this is only superficial work. According to their usual style, I am afraid that the Assassins are already on their way. ”

"If you still want to live, you do as I say. The man behind the door replied.

"W-what does this have to do with me?" the chief panicked.

"Not all investigations will have results," the man behind the door sneered, "If the opposing assassins can't find out who is behind the attack in the Poison Forest, then they will probably find someone to fill up." You are the Minister of Security for this area, and you have a 3,000-strong security force under your command. Your skull, it's still a good fit. ”

"People who are too strong are more difficult to assassinate, and they are prone to crisis state relations, and people who are too weak are not qualified. You're pretty much the same. Behind the door, he said in a calm tone, "Got it?"

The chief bowed his head and said nothing, his hand subconsciously clenched into a fist, and then released.

"Among those who came during the day today was a procession of priests and bards. This team is very suspicious, I will look in the dark, and in a moment I will draw a portrait for you. Strict inspection at each gate will begin tomorrow. The man behind the door continued to speak.

"Yes," the chief nodded, "and we won't let them in then." ”

"Just let them in!" corrected the voice behind the door, "come in, you can catch it." If you just block them, can you stop them for the rest of your life? If you can't get in today, tomorrow they will think of other ways, just your broken wooden fence, what can you stop?"

"Yes, yes. The chief nodded.

"I will draw two portraits, one true and one false," said the door behind, "and if you put the fake on the wall, they will see it and think that you are stupid and do not know how to draw." And you have the real ones in your hands, and everyone who comes in has them carefully checked for me. Then put it in depending on the situation, and set a trap to catch it!"

"Okay, no problem!" the chief nodded.

"Lou Baole has bullied people too much, it has always been hegemonism, and the small countries around you are working very hard, I can understand it. Usually there is no chance of countermeasures, but if you can catch the assassin of Lou Baole Kingdom this time, you will also be a great achievement. He is also a national hero. "Not everyone has that kind of opportunity, you see. ”

"Okay, thank you, General. The chief was excited.

Suddenly, a few pieces of paper were stuffed into the crack of the door below, and the chief took a look at it, and it was actually the portraits of those people. It seems that the man behind the door has premeditated, and the painting is also first-class. A few of them are really vivid, and a few fake ones are like graffiti.

"I write the real in the corner of every real one, and I write the fake one in the corner, so that your soldiers must not be mistaken," the man behind the door was also really uneasy, "If you stick it on the city wall, remember to tear off the word 'fake'." ”

"No problem. The chief gave an excited salute to the door, and there was no sound behind the door.

Early the next morning, Kevin and the others entered the city on their own as agreed. Lau Lu and the others left first, the three of them were superb, so they basically didn't have to worry. Once inside, the parrot sent messages back and forth, saying that the three of them were safe. Bird detection methods are almost the most difficult to defend against, and many times these magic capitals enter the country in the midst of a large number of bird migrations, which are extremely difficult to detect and impossible to kill all the birds. This is a very headache even for a large country, let alone such a small country.

Kevin and Jack waited until noon before setting off slowly, the midday sun was shining here, the heat was uncomfortable, ordinary people would not appear on the street, and the guards should be the most lax.

The two came to the door, without any pretense. I believe that if you glanced at it yesterday, you won't be remembered for your appearance. What's more, even if you remember, it was just a few close soldiers at that time. It is impossible for these people to stand guard all day and night, and there is always a time to change shifts. With Leibozier's execution, Kevin is not worried about anything at all.

However, when I came to the door, I found that there were several portraits posted on the side. But if you look closely, you don't recognize who it is, and the painting is clumsy, and it's all torn off a small piece in the upper right corner, and it's the same for each one.

"It's so uncomfortable. Jack frowned.

"What's wrong with you?" Kevin asked.

"You see, this portrait has a torn corner, and it is asymmetrical. I'm so uncomfortable!" Jack sighed.

"Restraint," Kevin began, "don't make a fuss now, it's not us in the portrait anyway." ”

"Yes. Jack said no more.

However, Jack's words made Kevin have doubts in his heart. Why do you have to tear off a corner? I caught a glimpse of the portraits in their hands from afar, and although they were blocked from seeing the contents, they were all neatly quadrangular. At this time, these soldiers were motionless by the sun, many of them lowered their heads, many of them leaned against the wall, and some of them hid in the shadows and slowly fanned their hands. It seems that everyone's brains have been dulled, and no one even notices Kevin when he comes.

"It's not right," Kevin paused, "let's go first." ”

"What's wrong? Turning back now, we're exposed. Jack said urgently.

"There was a quirky atmosphere. Kevin replied, "I'd rather be exposed, and if I go any further, it's too late to escape." Let's go first!" Kevin said, and the two immediately turned around and ran, and in a moment they had already fled into the distance.

At the door, all the soldiers "woke up" and looked at each other blankly: "Who is exposed?"

"Who can be exposed? can you still be exposed by pretending to be asleep?"

"Do you want to chase it?" someone asked the squad leader who was present.

"Chase a fart, what are you running on such a hot day?There is a problem with the strategy above, what does it matter to us?" the team leader waved his hand, "Everyone should not have seen it." What to do. ”

Kevin and the two escaped for a while, but found that the other party did not chase after them, and as soon as they ran on this hot day, they were both sweating on their faces. Jack immediately summons the parrot and recounts the current difficulties, telling it to fly into the city and find Lauru to solve the problem.

After a moment, Jack stood up and said, "They said to gather a mercenary group to storm the city gates, and let the two of us take advantage of the chaos to enter." "He and his bird are able to make mental connections, and there is no problem for short distances.

Kevin was a little speechless, even though he knew that the other party was a small country with different national conditions. But it's still hard to accept that the mercenary group can casually storm the city gate.

But in any case, this is also a way, and the two of them walk back. Sure enough, there was already a mess here, and countless mercenaries in tattered clothes and armor came out beating and scolding, and they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

But looking at their appearance, it doesn't look like a real fight, just knocking on weapons with the other party and scolding people. These mercenaries seem to have tattered weapons in their hands, but they are unexpectedly strong, and the swords of the regular army here can't be hit, and they are cut off in a few blows.

However, the mercenaries did not take advantage of the victory, but simply laughed at their weapons for being inferior to their own garbage. Apparently they also know how to be measured. The regular army at the gate of the city was difficult to resist, and had already sent people to support. But when reinforcements finally arrived, the mercenaries had already left, leaving behind a trail of broken swords and wanton laughter.

Kevin and Jack, of course, have already blended into the city. All the way to the meeting place agreed with Laulu, there were already a few mercenaries here, and when they saw Kevin and Jack, the mercenaries were very cordial. With an excited face, it doesn't seem to be fake.

But soon, Kevin and Jack are ushered into a cabin. And the mercenary told him apologetically: "This was arranged by Lord Laulu, and he said that the two of you can't know too much yet." First of all, please rest here. ”

"Okay. The two of them were not emotional. In the final analysis, Jack is just a junior officer, Kevin is a rookie, and the difference in strength and rank makes Laulu and others have to consider secrecy. Even if Kevin is the author.

On the other side, the Minister of Security closed the door again, closed the window, removed the portrait, and then knocked on the door behind the portrait: "General, are you there?"

"They're already in town?"

"I don't know why they saw through our plan, and they colluded with the mercenary group and stormed our city gates. "The chief is a little tangled.

"Alas. There was a sigh from behind the door.

"General, what now?"

"Do you have the ability to thoroughly investigate all the mercenary groups here like Lou Baole Country?" asked behind the door, "Forget it, you don't need to ask." ”

The chief was silent. The mercenary group here is already so powerful that it is difficult for the regular army to resist, and the king has tried to reduce it several times, but has not succeeded. And once the war really starts, the consequences are really unknown.

"Listen," said the door from behind, "a message is coming out, luring the snake out of the hole." I'll write to you later, don't make a mistake. ”

"Yes!" replied the commander, but then asked, "General, why is it that the other side has smuggled tattered weapons that are so much more powerful than the weapons of our regular army?" ”

"One money, one goods," replied the general, "we also have good weapons for you, but you only have enough money for them." Or, you can also check where the money is going. ”

The chief hurriedly bowed his head, not daring to say anything more.
