Chapter 56: Recruits (17)
The saddest thing in the world is probably the collapse of faith, especially for members like the Creman Stinger, Jonah has always been a god-like existence, his strong ability, superb martial arts, coupled with extreme loyalty to the Creman royal family, this has simply become a benchmark existence.
And now, the benchmark and mainstay in everyone's hearts have become traitors, and even have other identities, which has obviously made Barrett and Luke accept incompetence.
On the way back to the camp, the two men who had been silent became even more silent, and that silence was accompanied by Pete's sparse snorts with a crying voice, which added a bit of a mysterious heaviness to the whole team.
As he approached the front of the camp, Barrett suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Ding Candle, and asked, "When did you find out?" β
"Five days ago."
Barrett silently calculated, and then raised his eyebrows: "Were the three of them also on duty that night?" β
"Yes, the first half of the night was our three recruits." Ding Zhu naturally understood why Barrett would ask these questions, and suddenly all his faith collapsed, and after the initial difficulty of acceptance, he would definitely find all kinds of questions, and he would not be a third-level warrior of the Kleman Stinger if he didn't ask clearly.
What's more, there are still many questions waiting for Ding Candle to ask, so when Barrett speaks, Ding Candle knows almost everything.
"How did you find out?"
"In the first half of the night, I went out on a night patrol and found some wild fruits, which may not be very clean, so I didn't sleep well in the second half of the night." Although the reason given by Ding Zhu is quite naΓ―ve, it is impossible to refute.
Barrett didn't answer immediately, just stared at Ding Candle, trying to see a hole in her body, and after a while, he nodded: "Let's go to camp first, don't let ......" Speaking of this, he paused, his face became a little ugly, probably until now he couldn't accept what had just happened, so he didn't mention Jonah's name in the end, just said vaguely: "Don't let them find out." β
Of course, even Pete, a recruit who was a little slow to react, knew how serious the problem was, and none of the four spoke again, until he lay down, and Barrett asked Ding Zhu again: "Why do you have to call us today?" β
Ding Zhu in the dark tugged at the corners of his mouth, in fact, this is what Barrett wants to ask the most.
Sometimes people are so contradictory, knowing that it is an illusion, but they would rather let people deceive them for a lifetime, and those who make them sober up will end up with their complaints.
Of course, Barrett and these people would not do such a resentful thing, but the unwillingness to break the benchmark in his heart still made him very depressed.
"I can't solve these things on my own, I need to find someone who can solve them." Ding Zhu said very calmly, she did not shy away from the idea of wanting to find a back.
"What can you fix?" Barrett didn't speak, but the ordinary Luke muttered, as if he was asking Ding Zhu and as if he was talking to himself. "Why are you looking for us? It can't be solved anyway, so it's better for me to never know. β
Barrett still didn't speak, it seemed that he had the same thoughts as Luke, but Ding Zhu gave the deepest ridicule to their ostrich behavior: "If you want to die, just do everything today, you don't know anything." β
"Dead? Why did you die? "Pete actually has no sense of existence, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool, although he has also entered the Stinger team, but the biggest difference between recruits and veterans is that they don't worship Jonah so much, so they don't have too many feelings of collapse after the illusion is broken, but they immediately become very nervous when they hear about something that endangers their lives.
Obviously, this is also a question that Barrett and Luke want to know.
Ding Zhu closed his eyes, counting where Jona's people had gone now, and replied quickly: "You have heard today, the Djokarin troops have agreed to accept Jona's conditions and buy the things in his hands, and the place where they traded is in the Velen Fortress. β
"Although I don't know what they are trading, I can tell you that five days ago, Jonah gave a very high price, and the reason why he agreed to trade today is because the commander who traded with Jonah five days ago can't call the shots, and today he has found someone who can call the shots."
"Something that can be sold at such a high price must be a state secret, and Jonah, as the most trusted person of His Majesty in the past, is afraid that what he can get in his hands is not an ordinary state secret, and it is likely to be a major secret that will bury one of our countries."
"With such a big secret sold, will Jonah still go back to Kliman? If he doesn't go back to Kliman, and Marvin and Lance don't go back to Kliman, how are they going to explain it to us? If you can't explain it, isn't it the easiest way to kill it? β
"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he won't kill us, then what will you do when you know about his betrayal? Acquiescence? Pretend not to know? Or question him? β
Speaking of this, Ding Zhu took a deep breath: "Just now you asked me why I told you that you would rather be deceived than now." Then I just want to say that that's what you think, and I don't want to do that, because I went into the stinger desperately not to be loyal to Jonah, but to his majesty. β
After saying these words in one breath, Ding Candle turned over, wrapped his body tightly with his cloak and prepared to sleep, at this time Barrett just wanted to speak but was interrupted by Ding Candle: "No matter what you think, don't talk, they're back." β
Ding Candle's voice was as thin as hair, but the three Barrett also heard it, and they immediately closed their mouths in unison and pretended to be asleep.
Sure enough, five or six minutes later, a small sound of footsteps came from far and near from outside the camp.
No matter how the other three spent the night, Ding Zhu, who had successfully shared the black cauldron, slept very well this night, so that when she woke up the next morning, she immediately received the infinite resentment they had launched at her with heavy dark circles on the faces of the three Barretts.
Now it is less than two days before arriving at the Velonn Fortress, which means that there are less than two days left for Ding Zhu to complete the second task.
However, at this moment, Ding Candle was in an extremely relaxed mood, because the moment she just looked at Barrett, she had already realized that her words yesterday had played a role, and she had successfully persuaded the other party.
The Kliman Stinger has always been loyal to the King, not Jonah.
The rest is up to Barrett to see what he does.
