When the soldiers heard this, they did not dare to make the decision themselves, so they stopped and waited for Kino's reply.

Milo is not lying. His son is undoubtedly a demented person. Just like now, his father was chopped and covered in blood. The demented son is still there, even wiping it with his hand.

He put the blood on his father's face into his mouth and licked it.

Seeing how pitiful Milo was, Kino sighed helplessly: "Okay, for the sake of your cooperation just now."

Milo's nerves relaxed and he murmured: "Thank you... thank you..."

However, things did not develop as he expected.

Kino took out a silver moon from his arms and flicked it with his slender fingers.

"Ding." The silver moon danced like a butterfly in the sky, with light and shadow swirling around each other. Finally, it was caught by Kino and covered on the back of his hand: "King or laurel?"

Milo's expression froze: "Sir?"

Kino said lightly: "Generally speaking, the probability of the front and back sides of a moon coin should be 50% each. But I noticed that the laurel flower side has more hollows. In theory, it is lighter in weight and easier to face upward. So, King

The probabilities with laurel are about 49.99% and 50.01%, or the deviation is smaller. In terms of mathematical expectation, I suggest you choose laurel."

Milo's mood collapsed a little, and he kept kowtowing and begging: "Sir! Don't be like this... Please let my son go..."

"According to the Doguland Anti-Smuggling Regulations, if you smuggle military controlled products, your son will be imprisoned. I am trying to save him. King or laurel?"

"grown ups..."

"King, or laurel?"

Milo's eyes trembled as he looked at the figure standing against the sun. He gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no way to escape this disaster. His son's fate was already tied to this silver moon.

The moon coin, the official currency of Doguland, is engraved with the portrait of the founder of the country "Doguland I" on the front, and the royal family emblem and laurel flower is engraved on the reverse.

Milo came from a merchant family and was born surrounded by moon coins.

Now, the moon coin will determine his son's life or death.

Feeling hot and dry all over, sweating thickly like pulp...

After a long psychological struggle, Mirro decided to believe in the ancient great man of Doguland.

"King!" he almost shouted.

Kino opened his palm to reveal the answer, and all the soldiers subconsciously looked over.

On the back of the palm, laurel flowers exude the fragrance of death.

"Oh." Kino raised his hand, and the hand crossbow hidden under his sleeve fired a crossbow arrow, which penetrated from Milo's front and penetrated the beating heart.

Loading, aiming, triggering the mechanism, the second crossbow arrow was shot, piercing the idiot boy who was giggling next to his father's body from the same position, ending his cursed life.

It was Kino's courtesy to kill his father first and not let him suffer the pain of losing his son.

Kino looked at the corpses on the ground, and his tone was as if he was discussing a commonplace matter: "Open their stomachs and take a look. I bet they are all filled with salt crystals."

When they heard the word "bet", the soldiers trembled unconsciously and went to work honestly.

They cut open the bodies of the caravan guards, and sure enough, they were all filled with salt crystals in transparent packaging bags, adding up to more than 15 kilograms. This could be sold on the black market for at least 1,000 silver months, which is equivalent to 20 years' salary of a civil affairs officer.

.

People die for wealth and birds die for food. With such huge profits, it is no wonder that smugglers take desperate risks.

A soldier couldn't contain his excitement and said in a trembling voice: "We have done a great job! If we crack a smuggling case like this and report their smuggling methods, our superiors will definitely reward us heavily!"

Kino's voice suddenly came: "Not only can this matter not be reported, but I want each of you to keep it in your stomach."

The soldier was stunned on the spot: "Why should we hide such great achievements? As long as we report it, we will be heroes!"

"Hero?" Kino smiled briefly, "Who do you want to report to? The royal family? If you have connections, you can go directly to the royal city to meet the royal family members, or even the king, then you can really try. But according to the formal procedures, we can only go up

Report from the first-level main city administrator. With such a big credit, do you think he will convey it to you truthfully, or will he take the credit to himself? Even if he is a selfless person, what about his superiors? What about his superiors’ superiors?

"

"Also, don't forget that salt crystal smuggling has not been uncovered across the borders of the kingdom. This is an invisible equilibrium - everyone is negligent, but everyone is not guilty. Once we report the first case, this balance will be

Broken."

"Xilin Town has now uncovered the smuggling of Millo's caravan. How do we count the previous smuggling? Hundreds or even thousands of caravans enter Xilin Town every month. How many smugglers are there among them? There are so many salt crystals on the black market. Is it possible?

They all flowed in from Xilin Town, and we should be responsible for them all? In order to avoid being implicated, will the superior administrators push us out as scapegoats?"

The soldiers looked at each other in silence.

Kino turned Silver Moon between his fingers and said indifferently: "Don't think about being a hero. Heroes often don't live long. Be a smart person."

Paladin said tentatively: "These salt crystals are a disaster for us after all, but they cannot be reported directly, so we should destroy them!"

"Ding." Kino gave the Silver Moon Bullet to Paladin as a reward for speaking enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "It's very close, but destroying it directly is a waste. I will handle this matter personally, just don't make any noise."

Paladin was afraid to accept the silver moon, and his respect was beyond words.

He also looked at the soldiers around him and threatened in a cold voice: "Listen to me! I know where each of your families live. For the sake of your wife, children, mother and daughter, I advise you to keep your mouth tight!"

The soldiers lowered their eyes and responded submissively.

Tivin was the captain of Centurion Paladin's command and was also present. He looked at the scene in front of him and felt extremely uneasy.

Whether it was the skill Kino displayed when he attacked the caravan guard or the way he handled the aftermath, they were completely different from the useless commander in the past.

Tiwen didn't know why Kino had changed so much overnight. Whether his previous cowardice was disguised or God had given him a blessing, no matter what the reason, he must be cured! He must not be despised like before!

Tiwen glanced at the corpses on the ground and stood up on his own initiative, his voice trembling slightly: "Mr. Civil Affairs Officer, this place is in chaos. I am willing to clean up these corpses for you!"

But who knows, Kino didn't seem to hear this, and looked at everyone and asked: "Now, who is willing to pick up the bodies and clean up the place?"

Tiwen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Kino hadn't heard it just now, so he shouted a little louder: "Sir, I am willing!"

Kino looked at the stunned people with a somewhat confused expression: "Why, no one wants to do this dirty work? Do you want me to do it myself?"

In an instant, Tiwen felt a cold current running straight down his back and spreading to his limbs, as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar.

The soldiers' eyes wandered back and forth between Kino and Tiwen, not understanding the deeper meaning, and none of them dared to speak.

Paladin's eyes wandered, and he mustered up the courage to stand up: "I do!"

Kino said with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you."

Paladin was flattered: "Sir, I am your subordinate, you don't need to say thank you to me..."

"This is the most basic courtesy, isn't it?" Kino turned and left with a smile, leaving behind a sentence, "Courtesy is the most important quality of being a human being. I hope each of you will keep it in your heart."

From beginning to end, Kino didn't even look at Tiwen, as if he was a corpse...

No, even if it is a corpse, you will still glance at it more or less.

This kind of complete disregard no longer treated him as a corpse, but as if he was nothing, as if he never existed from the beginning.

...

The next day, Tivin disappeared.

It's not about absconding. Xilin Town is located on the border, and the patrols at various checkpoints are extremely strict. A cat running on the street at night will be spotted. No one can escape at night.

But there was no body, he just disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never been born, never lived in this world, and left no trace.
