Chapter 165: Unconditional Trust
Richard looked at Gunther with a complicated expression.
At a time when Winterfell is infested with undead and darkness and death are like mist, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a purgatory on earth.
Even fools know that in the face of danger, it is the best choice to sign up for warmth. Breaking away from the army at this time is tantamount to a little spark breaking away from a campfire, and it is simply impossible to sustain itself in the bitter cold night, and it is almost only a matter of time before it is extinguished.
What's more, Gunther has to do much more than save his life, he has to return to a specific location to get the magic stone and then fold it back!
They were at least a thousand yards from the original camp. Again, it's a straight line, and the actual distance will only go further.
"If I have to go back and get that magic stone, not blowing, I'm definitely the best person. Gunther shrugged his shoulders lightly, and counted the heads of each person with his fingers crossed: "Look—"
"The leader has to stay here and confront the undead dragon, otherwise the other brothers won't be able to hold on, right?"
No one could deny this, and Richard had a vague feeling that the undead seemed to be coming at him, though he couldn't figure out why for a while.
"Abu is too small to be able to beat the walking corpse enough to let him go to murder, right?"
The little Sgar muttered twice, unwilling to admit it, but had nothing to say after all. Without the Earth Walking Dragon, their naked strength is limited compared to the likes of the Rabbit People.
"And me. Hurt's face was calm, and he pulled out two shiny scimitars and pulled them together, the cold light was cold, "I am in charge of logistics, I am responsible, of course it should be solved by me." ”
"Pull it down, this is not the time to be reckless. Gunther sneered and raised two thick fingers, "First, the sound of horses' hooves is too loud to be hidden. Second, Hutt, I'll ask you, can you climb walls?"
Hurt was speechless, as we all know that due to the special body structure, it can be said that it is difficult for a centaur to climb the wall. To return to camp in such a chaotic and dangerous situation, wall climbing is almost a must-have.
"Think about it. Richard closed his eyes and massaged his temples.
Gunther was his earliest follower, and he traveled with him through many bloody storms. He is also human and has feelings.
"Chief, our Alpine Fort is a whole, just like hunting in my hometown. Gunther spoke very well today, and compared to his usual life, "I am the most suitable today, so I will go." If Hutt or Abu were the best fit, they would have gone too. ”
"Don't worry, sir. Gunther grinned, and the eyes of this northland man flashed with a heroic and blazing light at this moment. This kind of light has always belonged to the privilege of the truly brave, "I used to be a bear hunter in the tribe, and I am not a fool with a bad brain." ”
"Do you believe this?" said Richard.
Fools say that they are not fools, just like drunkards say that they are not drunk, there is no credibility.
"Hey, hey. Gunther touched the back of his head and didn't say much, and began to pack up his gear.
The Titan Iron Armor is too heavy to be used for infiltrating and changing to leather armor. For the same reason, the Tomahawk was too cumbersome and was replaced by a Hutt Machete.
Gunther quickly packed up and was about to set off, when he suddenly said to Richard: "Boss, in fact, I have known for a long time that the reason why we people can become stronger through killing is definitely not because of some potions. How could there be so many potions in the world, and they were not cabbage. ”
The whole of Winterfell was in chaos, but the surrounding area suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and no one spoke for a long time.
Richard looked at Gunther's honest face and smiled, "Indeed, why do you think it is?"
Gunther didn't even think about it and blurted out: "It should be similar to Dracula, it's some kind of talent spell, I guess maybe you are also a god." ”
"I'll go too. Berserker Russell stepped forward. The two left together at the other end of the alley, and soon disappeared into the night.
Richard looked around at the few people around him, but he didn't see many surprised expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had already guessed about it.
And it has to be said that their speculation is not far from the truth. Sometimes even Richard himself had to wonder if this so-called system could really be a talent spell?
It's hard to say, just as it's hard to say no.
Richard laughed to himself, he had always thought that these subordinates were from the wilderness or the ice fields, and they must not have much knowledge. So as long as you find a superficial justification, you can easily bluff them. But now it turns out that -
There are few real fools in the world, and those who can be deceived are often willing to be deceived.
"Everyone's guessed?"
He was responded by a head bobbing up and down.
"Then why didn't you expose me earlier? I'm cheating on you. ”
"Because you're our leader. Abu spread his hands helplessly, and said very naturally: "Even if it is exposed, then I have to mess with you, and I can't find small shoes to wear." ”
"Your Excellency. Hurt pressed the brim of his helmet slightly, "You don't have to worry, no matter what, we will follow you until the end of your life." ”
"Alas. Richard sighed, trusting this thing was sometimes so heavy that one could not straighten up.
............
It's a daunting task, at least at hell level, and the demands on strength and courage are outrageous.
Generally speaking, this kind of task is fortunate to be successful and the normal state of life is to fail.
Richard imagined 10,000 possibilities, but he didn't expect that the magic stone had been sent to him for a quarter of an hour. When they came, the two pushed and shoved, disliked each other, and at first glance, they were full of food and support, and they must have been peaceful all the way.
"It's coming, it's coming. Gunther shoved a black stone heart into the lord's hand.
"What's going on?" Richard could smell a thick rancid smell of sourness on them, like sauerkraut overnight.
"Uh...... A little subtotal. Oka Barbarian lowered his eyebrows
"Don't mention it. Russell pinched his nose and looked at Gunther, his eyes full of undisguised disgust, "Gunther was reluctant to give up the food in the carriage before leaving, and ate a stomach full of bread and bacon, but as soon as he moved, he began to want to vomit. ”
Gunther tried to cover his mouth, but Russell was unmoved, struggling to continue, "When I was hiding in the corner, he spat on us with one mouth, almost stunning me. As a result, the walking corpses didn't react to us, so they ran back to the camp and got the magic stone back. ”
"Maybe the walking corpse uses their sense of smell to distinguish the living. Richard thought for a moment.
But now is not the time to think about this, Dracula is lying on the ground and everyone is getting cold, and it is really too late to hold on to it.
