Chapter 137: An Unexpected Discovery
When the sun goes down to the end of the distant horizon, it converges its heat and becomes like a harmless duck egg yolk. The Pompeian army in the town of Chakshi had already divided their garrison camps and began to live and cook, and smoke rose from the cooking.
With the intervention of Bédrick, looting against civilians has not yet taken place. The cattle and sheep of the town were slaughtered on the spot by heavily armed soldiers with spears.
For the army on a long march, it is also a comfort to have fresh meat to eat. Soon after, the rich aroma of meat began to waft into the twilight.
In the camp of Fort Alpine, Gunther carried a boning knife in his hand and a leather apron tied to his belly, dressed like a typical butcher.
But the object he was about to stab was not an animal, but a stiffened human corpse.
"What are you going to do?" Richard came back just in time for the scene.
It was clear that the corpses belonged to the Blood Knights, after all, it was not common to have a bald head and a red floral tattoo. Glancing at a rough estimate, almost all the remains of the Blood Knight were here, and they had been frozen blue and purple in the cold night.
Rao is Richard has long been accustomed to seeing blood, and now while smelling the aroma of stewed meat and looking at the dead corpses all over the ground, he also feels a stream of sour water in his stomach gushing up.
"Who the got this thing into the camp!" "The lord was eager to beat people, he had a good appetite and was about to eat a big meal, but now it was all ruined.
"Shhhh
Richard looked at Gunther's gaze and suddenly became very indescribable, and he had a premonition that something was not good.
"You can't use your brain, why should it be your turn if there is such a good thing?"
"After all, it is our Alpine Fort that is the main attack, and it is natural to choose the spoils first. Gunther tried to keep his voice down in an attempt not to alarm the allies who were not far away, but there was an uncontrollable excitement on his face, "And I found that the others didn't realize the problem at all, only me!"
The lord covered his face directly, not knowing what to say.
There are always fools who think they can be smarter than others, and they are talking about the current Gunther.
As an alchemy equipment, the Destiny Stone has equally significant advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can quickly form a good combat effectiveness, and the disadvantage is that once it is captured on the battlefield, the enemy can also quickly form a good combat effectiveness.
Stuart is not a dead pig, and of course will try to correct the shortcomings by any means. Therefore, there is a small magic array attached to the magic stone in the chest cavity of each blood knight, and once the carrier dies abnormally, it will release a little fire element, which is enough to burn the delicate elemental circuit.
The magic stone is turned into waste, and there is little recycling value at all.
After a long period of relay improvement from generation to generation of alchemists, the reliability of the additional magic circle is amazingly high, and it is unlikely that it will fail by accident.
Therefore, trying to get the magic stone directly from the chest of the fallen blood knight is basically equivalent to a fool's dream - it is obvious that Gunther is the fool, who is talking about how to fight wits and courage to grab the ownership of this batch of loot, and is about to obtain the dream of the magic stone.
This question is common knowledge for the Pompeii military, everyone knows it. But the barbarians were born in the northern ice field, and they haven't had time to accept this common sense.
Richard listened for a long time before he realized that these remains, which were useless except for unappetizing, were actually bought by Gunther with all his might!
The soldiers of the other parts were dark enough, pretending to be confused, and they didn't show any mercy at all. Patting his chest and assuring Gunther that the remains of the Blood Knight would belong to him, and in exchange for taking ownership of all the other loot.
At this point, Gunther still felt that he had picked up a big bargain, and agreed without hesitation.
The lord, who had broken a copper into two petals, began to slash his teeth, his gaze roaming Gunther up and down like a boning knife.
"What's wrong?" Gunther innocently touched the back of his head, he didn't think his adult looked like approval, and he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
"Dear Lord Gunther. Richard asked in a strange way, "If a roadside fruit tree is full of fruit and no one eats it, do you know why?"
Oka Manzi snorted, "Passers-by are fools." ”
The lord's voice was almost roaring: "Because the fruit is bitter!
"It's bitter......" Gunther stared down at the boning knife in his hand, not thinking about what the bitterness of the fruit had to do with the magic stone.
As soon as the words fell.
"What's bittersweet about it?" Bédrick staggered into the Alpine Fort garrison as he nibbled on an apple in his hand, "It's time for dinner again, what's the dish for today?"
He was followed by a few retinues, all of whom were not embarrassed or embarrassed.
Ever since the march I discovered that the halfling chefs of the Alpine Fort were extremely skilled, and the dishes they made were extremely delicious, and they were much more powerful than the palace kitchens. Béderick often comes over for a meal when he has nothing to do, and he also communicates feelings in the name of beauty.
"Bullwhip sashimi. Richard snorted angrily.
"What is a bullwhip?" said Bédrick, before he could reply, quickly turning his attention to the piles of remains on the side of the road, and said as if he had found a treasure, "I said that I couldn't find it anywhere, but it was all yours." ”
With a grin, he pulled the dagger from his belt, hooked his wrist and caught it, "Go get a magic stone, don't mind." ”
"This thing shouldn't be of much use, right?" the lord wondered if the thing was deliberately trying to make fun of him. Everyone knows that the magic stone will be abolished after the death of the blood knight, and the royal family members have received the most comprehensive education since childhood, of course, it is impossible not to even know this.
"Take it back as a souvenir, after all, it's a blood knight, and the girls will scream for me when the time comes. Baderick's eyes were bent into crescents, and he smiled and took a large bite of apple.
Richard gave him a thumbs up, appreciating the train of thought. But business is business, and the lion should open his mouth widely: "Promise a hundred gold coins." ”
"A hundred gold coins?" Bederick rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously, "Why don't you go and grab it! ”
It is better to be able to recover some of the capital than not to be able to recover it at all, so the lord had no choice but to nod his head and indicate the deal. The attendant took the dagger and began to dismember, but the cold air of the winter twilight had frozen the corpse hard, and the close-fitting dagger was more decorative than practical, and it still didn't come out after a long time, so anxious that Bederick went over to point fingers.
Dracula, who had been following Richard without any sense of existence, suddenly blinked twice. In those eyes, which were as silent as stagnant water, they were now shining with an unusually vivid brilliance, like a fine cat's eye gem.
He tugged at Richard's sleeve and said in a weak voice like a mosquito, "My lord, that man has good things on him. ”
"Huh?" The lord's first instinct was to look up at Bederick not far away, and when he found that he was unresponsive, he relieved himself and asked in a lower voice, "What is it?"
Degu stretched his hand and quietly pointed to the disemboweling remains lying on the ground, "In his chest, probably in the heart of the place, there should be a destiny magic stone that has not self-destructed. ”
"yes, I see. Richard was extremely excited in his heart, but he couldn't see the slightest clue on his face, "Don't make a noise yet." ”
