Chapter 171: Dragon Crystal Turmoil
When Richard went to look for General Pinto, he saw Higuain outside the big tent.
To set up a tent, you need to tie a wooden wedge into the ground and nail a rope to stretch the cloth surface. Because the commander-in-chief's tent occupies an extraordinarily wide area, the materials are unusually heavy, and the ceiling height is very outstanding, the wooden wedge used is naturally very thick, almost like a stake, which is more than enough for a person to sit on as a stool.
This beautiful boy sat on a wooden wedge, looking into the distance with one hand on his cheek, looking confused as to where to go. This kind of posture is definitely synonymous with hypocrisy, and when I see it, I can't wait to tie up the shackles and throw them into the mine, and the food will be halved for two months of hard work.
But the blessings of Higuain's face are extraordinary.
He was confused, it was like a drizzle falling on the fields of spring, a hazy smoke and rain, which made people involuntarily want to sigh.
Richard pondered how to get him to "lift his cheeks" - the goods were in the way of the tent. But before he could speak, Higuain nodded to him first:
"Salute you, Lord Richard, you are truly brave. ”
After all, he is still a child, and the eyes of the lord have not yet searched the point of keeping accounts on the board oil. Frankly, Higuain is a bit embarrassed to cry wolf in the face of the undead dragon ghost, but it is rare to be able to muster courage in a pinch.
"You've been very good and brave. Richard reached out and tapped him on the shoulder.
"A man like me can never be a true knight. Higuain clutched his chest, his face aching, as if he had hemorrhoids.
The lord was almost tired of this line, "Young man, have faith in yourself. ”
"No, it's just ......" Higuain sighed and stood up to get out of the way, "General Pinto is waiting for you,"
Richard had a good habit of never guessing what's going on in a kid's head. He nodded at Higuain, lifted the curtain and bent inside.
As soon as he entered the tent, before he could see the furnishings, he was greeted by a hot air with the scent of smoke, which eliminated the cold that Richard had brought in from the outside.
is worthy of being the commander-in-chief, even if it is just a temporary residence, it is far more luxurious than ordinary people imagine.
The floor was covered with a thick white wool carpet on which the velvet was almost up to the top of the foot. Richard hadn't changed his shoes before he came in, and his foot was a big black footprint. If calculated according to the cost, the loss caused by each step will be at least a few silver coins, which is enough for ordinary people to eat two big meals.
As for the precious woodware, fine tassels and frescoes inlaid with gold and silver around it, that's just it.
What really made Richard feel sincerely admired was that during the march to battle, this Pinto general actually brought a lot of maids.
There were about a dozen people, all of whom had beautiful faces and graceful figures. They are huddled together in the corner, boiling tea on a small stove, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Pinto, the commander-in-chief of the Pompeii army, and Seedorf, the commander-in-chief of the defenders of Winterfell, were sitting side by side in the main seats. Two former enemies are now talking happily – or at least they seem to be talking happily.
Even the rest of the Stuarts were there, and Vera glanced up at Richard, and quickly went back to playing with the teacup in her hand.
Richard couldn't help but feel a lot of sympathy for Pinto when he thought about it. What does it mean to knock out teeth and live blood and swallow it in the stomach, this is it.
His previous siege of the city was made disgraced by Seedorf, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was crushed in all directions, and gossip was flying all over the sky in private. Wind reviews are also very important to generals, how could Pinto not care, it is estimated that he personally copied the guy and asked Seedorf to change his life.
As a result, it is now a mistake that the undead who have disappeared for hundreds of years have reappeared, directly leading to the complete destruction of the entire defenders of Winterfell. The last remaining commander of the garrison now came to the door himself, talking about his worries and worries about the undead.
In this case, Pinto not only could not take the opportunity to vent his anger, but also had to behave indifferently, even hospitality—otherwise it would seem even more ungraceful and humiliating.
"General Pinto. Richard put his index finger on the brim of his helmet and gave a not-so-formal military salute.
"Look, our dragon slayer is here. "Pinto is a dull old man, as the Lord confirmed at the first sight of him.
His life was not going to die, and his body was even healthy, but there was no doubt that his vitality had completely left Pinto, for his heart had completely decayed.
Whether it is the splendid silk all over the body, the groups of beautiful maids or the magnificent furnishings, although these pleasures are luxurious and beautiful, they have long been meaningless to an old man in the twilight.
"Lord Richard, your feat last night was as impressive as your mount. "I have asked the painter to paint as a souvenir, and it will surely become a masterpiece." ”
"It's just a fluke. Richard said the phrase he had thought of a long time ago: "Qiqiu is just a juvenile beast, and the time to exert his power is very limited. If it weren't for the sudden thunderstorm that caught the undead dragon by surprise, we would have been helpless if we had only delayed a little longer. ”
"It's a rare thunderstorm that is rare in a century. Seedorf had a look of apprehension on his face.
"Now that you've won, you must have gotten a piece of the Golden Dragon Crystal?" Pinto's eyes were filled with a longing that could not be concealed no matter what, an almost insane desire.
He was as old as a dead tree covered in cobwebs, and it was hard to find any life in this body. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that such a strong and vivid emotion could have erupted.
The dragon crystal is the condensation of the purest and clearest origin of the dragon, the origin condensation of a dragon with a lifespan of 5,000 years, omnipotence from heaven to earth, and no shortcomings in magical hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, whether it is the people or the upper class, there are a considerable number of people who firmly believe that this kind of original power is absorbed by human beings, which is the best tonic. It can greatly extend the life span and even inherit the power and majesty of the dragon.
As for whether Long Jing has this function, the magic science community has not been able to give a rigorous argument at present, and the question of origin is always difficult and obscure. But there are always those who think that at least it's worth a try.
Especially some of the people who are desperate to go to the doctor - it is obvious that there is a living example in front of them.
"No, I don't. Richard has always had a good knack for opening his eyes and telling nonsense, "I wanted to find it too, but it was a pity that I didn't find anything after splitting my brain." ”
"How could it be!" Pinto's face contorted instantly, almost to his feet. However, I probably realized the gaffe, and as soon as my ass left the chair and sat back, the expression on my face stabilized.
