Chapter 230: I'm Sorry
Arthur felt that Rick's expression was wrong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info eyes are not right, and the behavior is not right.
After a few seconds, he shook his hand: "You don't want it?" ”
Jonathan also saw Arthur do those movements, he knew what Rick was going through, in fact, he himself was the same, he patted Rick on the shoulder, and Rick slowly reached out and took back the handkerchief.
He whispered, "Thank you." ”
"You don't need to thank for the return of things to their original owners."
"It doesn't always happen when things are returned to their rightful owners." Rick smiled, "A lot of times, what is lost is lost forever and can never be recovered, no matter how hard you try...... Deter. ”
Rick held up his handkerchief: "So, every time something is returned to its rightful owner, it is worth thanking." ”
After looking at Rick in silence for two seconds, Arthur turned to mount his horse and said before turning his horse's head back to Team Six, "You're tired of talking nonsense." ”
As Arthur walked away, Rick raised his voice and asked Arthur, "You're tired too, will you come back tonight?" ”
Arthur said without looking back: "I won't be tired until I defeat you, wash my neck and wait for me." ”
After Arthur walked away, Jonathan smiled, "He told you to wash your neck." ”
Rick shrugged: "I don't care about that, anyway, there is no shortage of water here." ”
"You...... Remember him, right? ”
"Aren't you too."
"Rick, if Arthur did a lot of things and you had to keep his promises, what would you tell him?"
"Tell him the truth."
"All?"
"I'll tell him everything I know."
"Aren't you worried?"
"I'm sure he'll be able to handle it."
"But is that really possible? After all, Yulenda had been hiding from him. ”
"Since Yulinda let him travel, he was mentally prepared that he would learn the truth. She can't be underestimated, Joe. ”
Rick and Jonathan spend several days studying the maps and journals Lawrence gave them, and when faced with a barren land that doesn't even have a name, Rick doesn't want to take the risk and offers to let him enter alone for the first time, but Jonathan refuses.
The goal of the two of them entering the mountain for the first time was very clear, to go as far as possible, familiarize themselves with the terrain, and make markers.
Although they were all mentally prepared for the accuracy of the map, they were quickly hit after actually entering the mountains.
They were heading through the increasingly strong wind and snow, enduring a completely different level of cold, breathing thinner air, while correcting the map, and after it was not suitable to move on, Jonathan used magic, and the two forced their way forward for a while, until the sunlight began to wane.
The first time they entered, an overnight stay was an absolute exclusion, and the duo immediately began to return. On the way back, Jonathan chooses a few places where the terrain is suitable and uses magic to make caves as rest stops.
They take a brief break in a cave and try to make a fire, but the extreme cold makes it difficult to use the flint, and it is eventually Jonathan's magic that gives them a brief warmth.
But the flame warms their cold skin, but it can't warm their hearts.
They hadn't gone far, but they couldn't even make a fire, and they looked at each other and fell silent.
The Golden Lions are being driven to a dead end step by step, which is clear to them.
Jonathan took out a small wooden cup, walked to the mouth of the cave and dug up a cup of snow, walked back and put it by the fire, and soon the snow in the cup turned into snow water.
Jonathan handed the steaming cup to Rick.
Rick knew what Jonathan was brewing.
As he drank slowly, letting the heat run through his throat and soak his body, Jonathan said, "Arthur is wild and uninhibited, but sometimes, he's right. Why can't we, Rick? ”
"Did the cold freeze your brain, Joe?"
"Brek, I can overcome the cold and survive this kind of wind and snow, but I'm not sure the members of the Golden Lion Regiment can."
"When we first entered the snowfield, we didn't get used to it, but we survived, didn't we?"
"The snowfields aren't a great place, but they're a paradise compared to here!" After saying it excitedly, Jonathan sighed heavily, "Have you forgotten how many people we lost when we retreated into the snowfield?" How many more of us do you think we can have if we retreat into this ice and snow hell? ”
"Watch out for Joe." Rick tapped his temple, "Your thoughts are deadly. ”
Jonathan gave a wry, mocking smile: "As if it's not deadly here." ”
Rick was silent, and Jonathan continued: "I would rather die a chic death than a humiliating life, I believe that most of the companions of the Golden Lions are the same as me, and maybe this is not the end, maybe the humiliating life will eventually become a humiliating death." ”
Rick sighed deeply.
"You are the golden lion, only you can do everything in this world, while the golden lion group still has the strength and has not been torn apart by them, what else can we do! Rick! ”
"Do you really think so, Joe?" Rick lifted his face and looked into Jonathan's eyes.
"Why not? You know they want to wipe us out little by little! Jonathan spread his hands.
"I know." Rick said calmly, "I know I'm being irresponsible, even assholes, but, Joe, there's more to it than the Golden Lions. ”
"! Rick! Jonathan was so angry that he stood up in an instant, turned and took a few steps, facing the rock wall.
He crossed his waist and looked up at the low rock wall, looking at the dark shadows reflected in the firelight.
"I once advised you, Rick, that the Tower is a forbidden place for mortals, but you entered it anyway, see what the Tower has done to you, and see what Lorelei has turned you into!"
Jonathan turned and looked back at Rick.
"Tell me, are you only living for that kid now, and are you even the same for the Golden Lion Troupe!?"
After a long silence, Rick said slowly, "I'm sorry, Joe. ”
After the great disappointment, Jonathan pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, Rick, you shouldn't apologize to me, you should apologize to the members of the Golden Lions." Perhaps, you should apologize to yourself. ”
Just when the atmosphere was solemn and both sides fell silent, a sudden sound caused the two people looking at each other to divert their eyes at the same time.
The ground not far from the fire suddenly loosened, as if something was underneath.
The two quickly took out their weapons to stand on guard.
The loose ground slowly arched, and soon, a snow-white, covered with ice hard armor crawled out, the scorpion was nearly half a meter long, a pair of stingers were strong and strong, the back abdomen was high and thick, and the sharp tail spines were like the hard armor of the whole body, which was almost transparent like ice.
"Lawrence's notes contain this scorpion." Rick said.
"I remember." Jonathan responded, "The note also says it's dangerous. ”
Rick shrugged: "You can see it." ”
As soon as Rick finished speaking, he found that it was different from the ordinary scorpion structure, and there seemed to be a soft and contractible small opening under the tail spines of the scorpion in front of him, and he squinted his eyes to take a closer look at the small opening, but saw that the small opening suddenly contracted, shooting out a stream of light blue mucus, which shot straight at Jonathan.
