It's a little embarrassing to be caught peeking at a book, especially with a bunch of indescribable books under his arm, but fortunately, it's just a crow, and Kevin can deal with it more or less. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Okay, okay, you're busy with your trip, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?" Kevin tried to blast the crow away.

"What are you looking at?" the crow ignored and jumped on Kevin's shoulder to read the contents of his book, which Kevin hurriedly closed but happened to show him the title.

"Magic Circle?" the crow wondered, "Do you need to hide in the pit in the middle of the night to read this book?"

"Uh......" Kevin vaguely seemed to want to find a wording to fool the past.

"Or are you just here to see the Yellow Book, holding a magic book as a cover-up?" the crow jumped from his left shoulder to his right.

"Alright," Kevin tried to keep the crow away, "in the middle of the night, you go to bed." ”

The crow was silent for a moment, but replied through the contract: "It seems that this book is very cautious, and even I can't tell it." Is it a forbidden spell?"

"There are some things that you won't tell me and I won't tell you," Kevin replied, "or because you won't tell me, I won't tell you either." ”

Raven shook his head, "That's all you want to know about my past?"

"Your past isn't important, it's your future that matters," Kevin began, "I've thought a lot about your past. Since I'm a bard, I've seen countless bloody episodes. No matter how weird and bizarre your life experience is, it's just one of the bloody episodes. The process itself is not important, what matters is the outcome of the bridge. ”

"So, have you thought about what you're going to do with all the bloody things?" asked the crow.

Kevin shook his head: "It's not so easy, now I don't even know what your situation is, even if the countermeasures are not necessarily effective." But I still say this, if you really want to subvert humanity, no matter how bloody your background is, I will do everything possible to stop you. ”

"Will you kill me?" asked the crow.

"Yes. Kevin replied.

There was silence for a while, a person and a bird looked at each other, Kevin couldn't understand his expression, he could only be serious and calm.

"If the contradictions are irreconcilable, then killing is the last resort, I must have my own position as a human being, and you as a crow may have your own position, and there is no such thing as good and evil when the opposing positions are opposed," Kevin still opened his mouth to break the silence, "but until that day comes, I will also try my best to reconcile the contradictions." For example, I've never told anyone about you now, why do you think that?"

"Do you think I like to hide all my secrets in my heart and use them for myself?" Kevin himself replied, "You're wrong, it's actually giving you a chance." I used to tell you some generous sage stories, and I also gave you the opportunity. ”

The crow disdainful: "It's all fooling." ”

Kevin was silent for a moment, regrouped his mood, and spoke: "Then I'll tell you a true story, there was a sage once upon a time......"

"That's enough," the raven was visibly impatient, "and I can tell you one thing, I'm not arrogant enough to subvert humanity, it's unrealistic, and I don't have that much to do. But there is one person, and I must kill. ”

"Who?"

"Ahh Kevin could only sigh, bowed his head and opened the magic book, and continued to study.

The night passed like this, and Kevin crawled out of the pit at dawn, and then hurried back to the barracks, took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. A moment later, when it was time for morning exercise, Kevin got up and got dressed again, pretending to have just woken up, yawning and rubbing his eyes.

If you don't sleep well at night, you will inevitably be in poor spirits during the day. I can only sleep on the table at noon for a while, after all, I am young and can still hold on. But it can only be held for a short time, and Kevin thinks about whether he should get himself a single room, so no one knows what he wants to do. With his current position, there is nothing wrong with staying in a single room. But there is no one in the whole army who holds the rank of lieutenant in a single room, unless there is only one person's post, then it is counted separately. And setting this precedent on your own does not seem appropriate.

But after thinking about it, the main problem is time, the hidden place has been found by myself, but no matter what, I still have to wait until the middle of the night to read, even if I live in a single room. In this case, it is not particularly necessary to stay in a single room.

For the next few days, Kevin squatted in the pit and read every day, although it seemed to be extremely hard, but he didn't feel anything for himself. During the day, while training, I gestured with my fingers to draw the magic array, and at night I re-checked. He only needed two nights to read the general content of the book, but it took a little time to learn.

As for the people in the barracks who look around for unspeakable books, Kevin doesn't bother to care. Even if it was really sold by Start, he would have been discharged from the army at the end of the year anyway, and he wouldn't make a big deal.

Before he knew it, it was the weekend again, and Kevin thought that he could go out and find a tavern, and then hide in the tavern to read. At this pace, Kevin was confident that he would finish learning this magic book on Monday, and then he would be able to go to the Membrane Law Guild to exchange for a more advanced book.

But unexpectedly, Sain patted Kevin with the prom ticket: "Hey, the ticket that Celia gave me last time is not used yet, or go and see it on the weekend?"

Kevin had never attended an aristocratic ball, but he had only seen descriptions in some books, and he was curious. He's not a nerd who doesn't participate in any other activities for the sake of reading, but he's more embarrassed: "I can't dance." ”

"It's okay if you can't dance, who doesn't have a first?" Sain disagreed.

"Won't you step on other people's feet?" Kevin has read a lot of books and knows a lot of bridges.

"These are small things," Sain disagreed, "and if you step on someone, you can take it with you with a few humorous words, unless you step on someone's bone." ”

Kevin hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be better to have nothing to do anyway. Immediately nodding in agreement, Sain immediately rubbed his hands excitedly, and then immediately began to change into a dress. Kevin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it: "I don't seem to have similar clothes, can I wear a military uniform to go in?"

Sain was surprised: "Of course not, I've never heard of people wearing military uniforms to dance halls. ”

"But doesn't the old pen go out in a military uniform every day?" Kevin wondered.

"Does he go to the ballroom every day?" Sain didn't know the truth, "and even if he did, he must have gone somewhere after changing his clothes, and it was impossible for him to wear a military uniform into the ballroom." ”

"Can I wear a bard, then?" asked Kevin.

"You can wear it, but if you do, don't go in with me, I don't want to be treated like dirt buns," Sain waved his hand, "You better go and borrow one, I'll have one, why don't you ask Start." ”

Kevin was helpless, and immediately went to find Start, but Start was very dissatisfied: "Why are you two going out again? I stay here to see the recruits? How many times have you two gone out?"

"Okay, okay, I'll let you out next time," Kevin made a promise, "If there's a dress, lend me one." ”

"Are you sure you can wear my clothes?" Statt touched his belly, signaling how fat he was.

"You're about the same height as me, only fat, as long as the waistband is tightened a little bit, and the clothes are a few folds bigger, it's fine, right?" Kevin turned and asked Sain.

"Are you sure?" said Start, who immediately opened the cabinet and found his dress, but it was so patterned that it would be ugly if it was wrinkled.

"Then who else can I borrow it?" Kevin was already thinking about retreating, "or forget it." "The others are not very familiar, and the dresses are relatively expensive, and once they get dirty, everyone is embarrassed.

"Wait, that staff officer should have one, right?" Sain suddenly had an idea, "Go look in his cupboard, he'll only come back in the evening anyway, let's just put it back before him." He's about the same height as you. ”

Starter was stunned, but immediately felt that it was good to pay attention: "Staff officer, even if he comes back, he doesn't look at the cabinet much, maybe he won't be able to find it after a few days." ”

"Looks like stealing, right?" said Kevin, but the man had already walked over to the staff officer's cabinet and pulled, "Locked." ”

The other two were silent and looked at each other, Kevin thought for a moment, and then simply made a decision: "I'll go to the logistics department to find the key." ”

It can be said that there is basically no concept of private privacy and secrecy in the military, and the commander will do whatever he wants. Even if the cabinet is locked, and the chief smashes it open with an axe to see, then let him see it. It's just that the original staff officer is old enough after all, and Kevin doesn't dare to be so rude, so he can only get a key. These wardrobes are purchased by the logistics department, and the keys are also backed up, as long as the highest commander wants it, it can be given immediately. Kevin is now quite authoritative in the military, and his work efficiency is much faster.

A moment later, Kevin returned with a bunch of keys and opened the staff officer's cabinet neatly. There is also a chest at the bottom of the cabinet, and it is locked, and it is not known what is hidden inside. It's his personal box, and Kevin isn't interested. I picked one at random from the upper layer of clothing.

"Let's go, let's go," Sain was already urging, the day was limited, and it had taken Kevin a long time to change his clothes.

"By the way," Kevin remembered about the recruits as he changed his clothes, "Start, you stay here and let the recruits rest." Brag about them, let them read more and improve their intelligence. ”

"Alright," Sain was in a hurry, "let's go." ”

"Wait," Kevin added, "You can have two teams of recruits prepare for a debate tournament, and we'll try to play a debate ...... Monday."

"Gone, gone. Sain had already grabbed Kevin and dragged him out.

"The debate is about whether the original staff officer is an idiot or not, and this is the debate," Kevin sneered, "I think he will still be able to sleep then." Okay, I'm leaving......"

Bang, the door was shut, leaving Start alone shaking his head and sighing: "Still debating? ”

On the other side, Kevin and Sain dressed in tuxedos and trotted all the way, hurriedly getting into a carriage, then teleporting, and then into the ballroom of the carriage Celia. The two of them were embarrassed all the way, and they were all distinguished people in dresses, and basically they had never seen anyone trotting in dresses.

But even after trotting all the way, when the two came to the door of the dance hall, it was already around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. According to the time they came in the morning, they would go back at once, just in time for the night to return to the camp.

"Why don't you do it tomorrow?" Kevin still proposed, "The main city is expanding here, and the city has become too big, so I'll change my clothes faster tomorrow, so I can come sooner." ”

Sain was not happy: "No, it's all here, even if it's a dance, I'll go back." ”

Kevin was helpless, so he was pulled in by Sain. Of course, the reception lady at the door is very enthusiastic, although Kevin has never been a nobleman, but the aristocratic etiquette is basically known, and when he puts on a dress at this time, he naturally looks like a nobleman. It's just that his dress belongs to the original staff officer, and he looks old when he wears it.

Walking into the dance hall, the whole decoration is naturally magnificent, with gorgeously dressed people walking around the dance floor, and many people staying aside, standing or sitting chatting, most of them holding a glass of red wine in their hands, which is very stylish. The sound of music in my ears and the smell of alcohol in my nose.

"Nice light, huh?" Kevin looked around curiously, "I thought it was dimly lit." ”

"Of course, this is the Noble Ball, everyone is above board," Sain was already in the groove, his eyes seemed to be looking for prey, "I'll go find someone, I'll do a dance, and I'll go." ”

"Won't you take me for a while?" Kevin asked.

"Find someone yourself, I never dance with men. After Sain finished speaking, he immediately left Kevin and went to find Miss Noble by himself. And as soon as you pull it accurately, you can bow to a noble lady casually, and then you can immediately pull it to the middle and turn around.

Kevin was a little surprised, could it be that the culture among the upper nobles was like this? But if he wanted to pull people by himself, Kevin was still a little afraid to pull people. Only one person could stand aside, and the service center came over with two wine glasses and put them in front of Kevin, signaling that he could take one: "Sir." ”

Kevin was stunned and blurted out, "Does this need to add money?"

Waiter: "......"

"Forget it, I don't want it. Kevin waved his hand and pushed the glass off. Thankfully, it was noisy, and no one on the side heard what Kevin was saying, but the waiter looked surprised.

Kevin also sensed that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, but no one knew him anyway, so it didn't matter. While watching others dance, observe the dance steps of others. Most of them are a man and a woman, and a few are two girls, but there are no two men. The dance steps are relatively simple, Kevin looked at it for a while, and felt that he was probably also competent, but he still didn't dare to pull people by himself.

"This gentleman," suddenly a middle-aged lady came up gracefully, "can I dance with you?"

"No, thank you. Kevin refused. The middle-aged lady's face suddenly changed, and she walked away with a displeased face. Kevin was stunned, isn't it too rude to refuse directly, but he really doesn't want to dance with a middle-aged man.

After a few more moments, another middle-aged lady came over: "Gentleman, do you mind if I invite you to do a dance?"

"Uh...... I'm waiting for my dance partner. Kevin tried to be tactful.

"Can you dance with me while waiting?" the middle-aged woman didn't let Kevin go, "Is it still jealous for your dance partner to dance with an old woman like me?"

"Uh...... However, my first time dancing, I probably didn't dance well. Kevin tried to push the buck a little more.

"The first time, won't it?" the middle-aged woman looked at Kevin closely, "but look closer, you're really young." Come on, let me teach you how to dance. I'm going to wait for my dance partner anyway. ”

Kevin really couldn't get rid of it, so he could only smile dryly and agree: "Then try it." ”

The lady immediately pulled Kevin into the ballroom, and Kevin put his left hand on his shoulder and shook his right hand with each other. Then look down nervously at each other's steps, she advances and I retreat, she retreats and I advance, she turns in circles, and I turn in bigger circles. There is no grace at all in this dance, it is more like Kevin is constantly dodging her "attacks", watching her feet come up and hurriedly retreating, watching her feet retreat, hurrying to catch up.

"Poof!" the lady smiled, "it seems that you are really dancing for the first time." ”

"Hmm. Kevin muttered, still looking down at his feet.

"Actually, you don't have to look down at your feet so much, just lift your head up. The lady advised, "Remember to use your left foot first, then your right foot, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin stepped on the other party: "Ahhh

"It's all right," the lady apologized, "I was wrong, the male and female steps are reversed, you should have your right foot first." ”

"Oh. Kevin subconsciously looked down again.

The lady didn't say anything more, the two danced for a while, and the lady changed the subject: "How old is Mr. this year? ”

"Uh...... Guess?" Kevin replied, bowing his head.

"50 years old?" the lady guessed.

Kevin: "......"

"I'm sorry, 45 years old?" guessed the lady again.

Kevin: "......" At this point, Kevin somewhat understood that there might be something wrong with this dress, and it may not be just a matter of showing age, but it must be old enough to wear it. It's no wonder that it's all noblewomen who talk to themselves.

"Uh, ahem, yes. Kevin was vague.

"How many children does the gentleman have?" asked the noblewoman.

"Not yet. Kevin was embarrassed.

"Won't it?" said the noblewoman, surprised, "why?"

"Can I not answer that question?" Kevin felt like he couldn't get through.

"Well, let's not talk about the family," the lady smiled, "and if you want to exchange a business card for a while, you can come here often in the future." ”

Kevin frowned, always feeling that something was wrong to go any further, and was looking for a chance to slip away, when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. Looking back, it was Sain, and Kevin asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's almost time, let's go. Sain looked a little nervous.

"Oh. Kevin saw that he was nervous, and he was nervous himself, and almost stepped on his dance partner, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so I'll go first." ”

The two of them immediately hurried out of the dance hall, raised their hands to greet the carriage, and then immediately rushed to the teleportation array. In the car, Sain asked, "It's good that I took a look at you, do you know who your dance partner is?"

"I don't know. Kevin was also nervous, could there be some kind of basket.

"Actually, I don't know who she is. Sain replied.

Kevin: "......"

"But you're dancing too ...... It's so filthy, you know?" explained Sain, "your head is so low that you're about to hit her breast, and if her husband sees it, you're going to get beaten up." ”

Kevin: "......" (To be continued.) )
