"Come, come, have dinner. The bandit leader sensed that the time was about the same, and immediately greeted everyone. A few younger brothers brought a few bags out of nowhere, and then each took out bread and other dry food from it, took water casually and began to eat.
Kevin and Stadt and the other captives had nothing to eat, of course, and they were technically only given a loaf of bread at noon. And at noon today, because the debate was too intense, the bandits forgot about it. These bandits are not systematic, and now that the urinal mage is gone, there is no concept of time, and it is nothing if he doesn't eat a meal. It's just that a group of captives missed this meal, which is equivalent to missing a day's food. But no one dared to ask for anything, so they could only look at everyone with complaining eyes.
Kevin observed for a while, then spoke again: "Bandit boss, you eat this kind of thing?"
"It's your business. The bandit boss chewed on the bread and scolded, and the crumbs squirted out.
"Your food was also given by the urinal mage?" Kevin continued.
No one paid attention to him, and the bandits each munched on bread.
"Have you ever imagined a mouthful of oil on a fragrant roast chicken in the wilderness? Can you imagine roasting whole lamb on the northern ice fields, the purest cheese, and a glass of red wine. Kevin said casually, "I've eaten them all." ā
Bandit: "......"
"Haven't you ever roasted a chicken? Roast chicken is not just grilled on the fire, it is better to sprinkle a spice imported by the beast clan, and it will make a sound when you put it on the fire. To take a bite, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the aftertaste is endless. Kevin looked up and recalled.
On the side, Stat said: "Have you ever eaten a noble cake?" Three-layer milkshake, cut with various fruits, red, yellow and green, with a glass of fresh orange juice, the taste is refreshing and smooth. ā
Start continued: "Have you ever eaten an iced fruit bowl? With the blessing of ice spells, combined with various fruits, such a large plate, with a spoon lightly, the whole body is cool. ā
The thieves stopped, pinching the bread and stupidly stunned.
"Do you think that these meals are only available to the nobles?" Kevin began, "I'm sorry to tell you, I've eaten them all." ā
"Yes," Statt agreed, "the noble cake is not eaten by the nobles, but the name is the noble cake." Although the price is a little more expensive, ordinary civilians can still order a taste for their birthday. ā
The bandit boss put down the bread: "What do you want to say?"
"Are you happy to be a bandit?" asked Kevin.
"It's fun!" said the bandit boss stiff-mouthed.
"How long have you not been out?" Kevin asked again, "when did you start becoming bandits?"
"Shut up!" the bandit boss waved his hand as he subconsciously walked backwards, and in a moment he walked into a small cave on his own. The rest of the thieves had no appetite, so they hurriedly ate two bites and found a place to squat. The amount of information received today is too much for them, and it takes time to digest at this point.
Kevin doesn't talk much anymore, and the bandit boss doesn't say anything anymore, it's useless, save your strength for tomorrow.
The night passed so peacefully, Kevin was tied to the cross, and no one went to let him down. Start was asked to stay in the cage, extinguished his torch, and it was pitch black again.
In the darkness of the night, Kevin felt that some small animal was rubbing against him, and he knew that it was the soil slope rat that helped him, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. The Dirt Rat crawled on Kevin's body for a while, making a noticeable stop at the ropes of his hands and feet, and then quietly burrowed away.
Kevin tried a little harder, and the ropes of his hands and feet were obviously loose, and he estimated that he would be able to break free as soon as he broke out. I'm grateful for the help of the Dirt Rat, but it's not the time to break free, and I have to wait for the opportunity.
The next day, the thieves came one after another, lit torches again, took out breakfast and began to eat, but when they saw Kevin, they couldn't help but subconsciously turn their faces away.
"That's all you have for breakfast?" Kevin asked again. In fact, he barely slept last night, and he couldn't sleep on the shelf. The spirit of not sleeping all night is not very good, but at this time, you must beat the spirit, and the momentum cannot be weak.
"Shut up!" the bandit boss seemed annoyed.
"Don't be angry, I'm not trying to provoke you," Kevin replied, "At the end of the day, I want to live too, you all want to live, we want a way for everyone to live, okay?"
The bandit does not speak.
"The facts are in front of you, the general agreed to the amnesty, made an oath. But his deadline is that if he doesn't go out by today, that is, by this evening, he will lose patience. And your urinal mage is given a month limit," Kevin put the contents on the stage, "Are you really willing to eat another month of multigrain bread?
The voice on the top of the cave sounded again: "A month is uncompromising, and you should not use this to lure the bandits." The food you mentioned was eaten by the nobles, and the commoners outside could only have multigrain bread. ā
Starter immediately glared: "You fart! We civilians can eat meat every day, you are talking about decades ago, right?"
"It's not clear about this question, but when you go out, you'll understand. Kevin said, "In recent years, the country has developed rapidly, and water towers have begun to be built in the main city, which enter every household through the entire waterway network. Preparations have begun to be made to establish a large engineering magic array covering the whole city, and the formation is maintained by a magic tower, so that every household can directly borrow the magic power of the engineering magic array to cook food, even if it is not a mage, and there is no need to burn firewood. Each household can also borrow an ice spell to chill food in a specific corner of the house to keep it longer. Borrowing wind spells, you can ventilate and dust your home. ā
"This is actually not difficult in theory, it only needs the unified planning and layout of the whole city, and the construction of houses is all carried out in accordance with the eyes of the magic array. It is expected that within a few years, we will be able to achieve this goal. At the end of this year, the first parrots will be retired, and we will be connected to the Internet. Kevin paints a picture of a bustling magical city for the bandits.
The voice poured cold water: "You're talking about the Lane Empire, not the Lou Baole Kingdom." Lou Baole State will not be able to change the fate of chopping wood and boiling water for a hundred years. ā
Start scolded again: "A hundred years? I tell you, my family will not chop wood to boil water, and my family will burn magic stoves." ā
"There's no point in arguing," Kevin interrupted directly, "it's a matter of who do you believe? Bandit boss, I remember your name is Rex?"
"Yes!" the bandit boss nodded.
"Now you have to jump out of the ridiculous idea of what kind of protagonist and what supporting role," Kevin reminded him, "and the protagonist in the novel is not because I am the main character, so I can go around and die without dying." That's what they actually do, but at least they don't say it!"
The bandit boss touched his forehead: "To be honest, my head hurts right now, and I don't know what to do." ā
"You're right for a headache!" Kevin was overjoyed, "People make progress because they can think." Think about it, why did he lie to you......"
"I didn't lie to you......" The voice at the top of the cave interrupted directly.
"Shut up!! Kevin covered him with a louder voice. Starter also immediately helped: "What protagonist? What supporting role? I don't know if I review all these novels? I waved my hand and sealed them all!"
Bandit: "......"
"If you think you're the protagonist anymore!, then please do a bold experiment!" Kevin roared, "The protagonists you see have universal laws, the law of the protagonist's immortality. All you have to do is take a sword and stab your neck, and you can prove that you are not the protagonist!"
Bandit: "......"
"What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Kevin sneered, "Death is just a crossing, what are you afraid of? Maybe you will directly cross over and become an emperor? What if you become a god directly? Maybe the sword will be wiped and the sword will be broken, only to find out that you are King Kong is not bad?"
The bandit stood still, no one moving. ćć
"Cut, we're not stupid," a thief sneered, "you want to kill us?"
"Hehe," Kevin sneered, "since you don't dare to wipe your neck, then another way to test, another law of the protagonist." The protagonists are all invincible at the same level, and they often skip the level to challenge, you all admit it, right?"
The thief didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"Now that I'm on the same level as you, I'll go head-to-head with you!See if you're the protagonist or am I?" Kevin roared at the bandit who had just sneered.
"Okay, I don't believe it, I'll kill you!" The impulsive thief was provoked, and immediately drew his sword and slashed at Kevin, regardless of whether Kevin was still tied to the cross, this competition was not fair. Although the thieves on the side were surprised, they only watched when they saw others rushing to the first one.
Seeing the arrival of the sword, Kevin shouted, and his fighting anger exploded, so he heard a few bangs, and the ropes that helped Kevin were all broken. This bandit who rushed out didn't expect this to happen at all, and for a while, Leng Shen was even more sluggish.
Kevin casually stood a magic shield in front of his hand, and set up the man's long sword. Then the waist and abdomen were forced, and then the momentum that came down from the cross, and a hand knife slashed at the neck of the mountain thief. The bandit only felt that it was dark in front of him, and immediately fell to the ground and fainted.
There was silence in the cave, and the heads of the thieves felt like Weng had exploded, and at this moment they didn't think of something like a prisoner who had escaped and wanted to be captured, but: "This is the real protagonist!"
Obviously they were all tied to the cross, and this cross couldn't even break free from a 7th-order warrior like a staff officer, but the red fighting spirit broke free. was originally a mortal situation, but suddenly counter-killing, almost nonsensical counter-killing, the law of the protagonist's immortality, and the law of the protagonist's invincibility at the same level are all echoed. There is no doubt that this is the real "protagonist"!
At this time, Kevin was still wearing a blue cloak, full of aura, although there was no purple fighting spirit, but the psychological shadow that had been left for the thieves resurfaced. The bandits were panicked, the bandits were at a loss, they lost their fighting spirit, and they didn't even dare to come forward to arrest them.
Statt on the side was also very surprised, he didn't expect Kevin to be able to break free from it, and couldn't help but mutter: "This is the second time I've seen the protagonist's aura." ā
At this time, Kevin, as the "protagonist", did not admit it: "Do you think I am the protagonist? I tell you, I am not the protagonist!"
"I said it, I'm the protagonist, you are the protagonist, everyone is the protagonist, I'm not the protagonist, you are not the protagonist, no one is the protagonist. Kevin repeats his lines from yesterday.
The bandits nodded their heads again and again, although they didn't understand, but they felt very reasonable.
The only one who can't figure out the situation is the person behind the scenes, he seems to be judging by listening to the voice, but it is difficult to hear the real situation in the fight just now, and he can't help asking: "What happened here?"
Kevin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked Start: "Give me a piece of paper and a pen, and I'll show you now how these so-called articles were written." ā
Statt pulled a pen and paper out of Kevin's backpack and handed them over. Kevin sat on the floor, spread the paper on his lap, and scribbled. A group of bandits were unstoppable, just standing stupidly, at a loss from top to bottom.
Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Start opened his mouth to say something pleasant: "Actually, your are really hard in social life, although Lou Baole Guo did not explicitly make guilty, but in fact they still disagree with' way of life, which is caused by culture." Even if you go out normally, if you openly engage in basemaking, you will still be disliked. ā
"Hmph!" a group of obviously dislike normal people as well.
"But Lou Paula can't stay, you can find a way to go to country?" Statt suggested, "Do you know that there is a country?"
Of course, the bandits shook their heads and didn't know. Start immediately began to introduce the overview of the country, which was once a powerful empire, and now it is one of many small countries in the alliance, but it still has a place in the world. Although it is impossible for to be everywhere in the country, after all, if the country is full of, it will not be able to continue. But the in the country have almost become a culture, and where to get a ji, it is bound to be happier and freer.
After an introduction, everyone was fascinated. At this time, Kevin also finished writing a paragraph and handed it over to the bandits to circulate. In the 145th chapter of "Bard", Kevin has updated it in the bandit's lair. Since Kevin's protagonist is also a bard, Kevin can empathize and write about his own experiences in the novel. The main character in the book also argues and refutes with the thieves in the book, almost exactly like yesterday.
The thieves read and listened as if they were listening to their own yesterday, exactly the same experience, and even the words were exactly the same.
"What does this prove?" Kevin said as he waited for them to finish reading, "Don't trust what is written on paper, because anyone can write on paper." I can, and so can you. ā
The bandits are silent, and faith is crumbling.
The voice on the roof of the cave made a final effort: "If you don't listen to me, you will regret it!"
Kevin smiled, looked up and asked the cave roof, "Do you believe in justice?"
"I don't believe it!" the voice replied, "There is no justice in the first place, the so-called good and evil, but the nodes are different, and the ending is placed in different places." It's like day and night, in other words, the winner is righteous, and the loser is evil. ā
"You're wrong," Kevin sneered, "Just because everyone believes in justice, I think I'm righteous, and you think you're righteous, so after the duel between you and me, naturally my justice is better than your justice." But that doesn't mean justice doesn't exist! That's why we preach justice, and both sides call themselves justice when they are at war. ā
"What a mess. The voice at the top of the cave was impatient, "Do you know why justice is preached? That's because both righteous and evil people want the people around them to be righteous, that's all." Righteous people are more innocent and kind, there are more such people, and evil people have more opportunities to do things. No matter how evil a person is, he can claim to be righteous, and because of this, this kind of hypocritical justice would rather not be, and we bandits will be pure evil. ā
Kevin retorted: "Do you know why we all preach justice, because people win by teamwork, and righteous people can be with righteous people, and they can work together in the same boat." But it is difficult for the wicked to be with the wicked, because the wicked are selfish, and together they will fight each other and stab each other. If you are pure evil, then I advise you to guard against the people around you, and don't rush to be the first one when you go out to rob, and it is best to hide from the last. ā
Everyone: "......"
Kevin smiled: "Even justice and evil are so unclear that you can't figure it out, what are you still messing with?"
The bandit boss let out a long sigh and made a final confirmation: "That...... Did the outside really forgive us?"
"Yes. Kevin didn't tire of replying.
"Then these people are released, and they won't come to trouble us in the future?" the bandit boss turned his head to look at the captive.
The captive had already taken a step forward and shook his head: "No, no, no." "The most important thing is to save your life at this time, but no one is playing any temperament.
The voice was still making a final effort: "Listen to my advice, even if it is two more days." ā
Kevin immediately walked slowly towards the bandit boss, seeing the protagonist walking in step by step, the bandit boss was nervous for a while, and subconsciously wanted to take a sword. Kevin raised his hands to signal that he was harmless, and kicked the bandit's chair. The urinal on the handle of the chair suddenly fell and shattered.
The whole cave was stunned again, and then stupidly looked at the fragments of the urinal. Kevin asked, "What about the urinal mage?" It was just some kind of trick. ā
The bandit boss sat in his chair with helpless eyes.
Kevin looked up and asked, "Why don't you say a word again?"
There was no sound at the top of the cave.
Kevin said calmly: "Time is running out, there is still an hour." Bandit boss, make a decision. ā
"I ......" The bandit boss looked around at the subordinates below, and the subordinates had different expressions, obviously all in a trance, and they couldn't judge at all.
"Let's go!" Kevin persuaded again, "go out, make a bigger base, get more base, don't you expect it? Do you want to eat bread here with a urinal?"
"Okay!" Finally, the little brother was moved, and instantly led a large group of people, "Boss, let's go out!" "Let's go out, we have to go out sooner or later anyway." "Follow the protagonist!" "Follow the protagonist!" "Mix with the protagonist!" ......
Seeing that the little brother was excited, the bandit boss finally stopped hesitating: "Okay, let's pack up our things and set off immediately!"
For a moment, Kevin vaguely heard the cage tremble a little, and these captive prisoners watched Kevin and Stadt's mouth cannon all the time, their hearts were very nervous, and their fate was focused on their two mouths. Now that there is finally a chance to release, it is already an extravagant hope. The so-called revenge and the like are actually not as important as being alive.
The bandit boss couldn't help but feel slightly guilty: "I'm sorry, we were enemies before, this ......"
Kevin smiled and patted the bandit boss on the shoulder familiarly: "My comrade-in-arms died at your hands, according to common sense, I should take revenge." Sometimes, though, there's something more important than revenge. A battle, life and death on both sides. You also had three fingers chopped off by me, so forget it. ā
"Admire, admire. "The bandit boss is sincerely grateful.
Starter also walked up slowly: "That...... The panties returned to me. ā
The bandit boss also took it out of his pocket with a dry smile and returned it to him.
After cleaning up, the bandits were in high spirits, and it was completed in a moment. Opening the cage, these former elite masters are already weak at this time, not to mention that no one has the heart to resist, they can be saved in less than two steps, what are they doing desperately? But they refused to put down their staff officers, and just carried the cross and walked out. People who are too high-level, they are also a little scared.
The bandits and captives mingled and went out in an orderly manner, Kevin and Stadt stayed at the end, until after confirming that all the bandits were out of the cave, Kevin looked up and asked, "Do you have nothing to say?"
"Because of the lack of thought hall!" the voice from the top of the cave came slowly, "because of the lack of thought hall!"
Kevin smiled and walked out of the hole with Stat. The fog was still filling, but the long-lost ground air had moved the captives to tears, and even Kevin and Starter were still apprehensive.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him began, and in just a moment, dozens of horsemen had rushed in front of them. It was General Oude and his cronies and guards, who had known all the way to the cave through Start's parrots, and had hurried to the rescue when they learned that the rescue had been successful.
"General!" Kevin and Stadt stepped forward to talk.
"Are you all ready?" the general's face turned grim.
"It's all right. ā
"Hey!" the bandit boss came over to greet him, he felt like he was a character too, "You're the general, well, my name is Rex." Get to know each other. ā
A purple fighting aura, the head of the bandit boss had already flown into the air. The general's guards on the side had already drawn their swords and struck the bandits, and the blood splattered mercilessly. Kevin couldn't help but be stunned. (To be continued.)
