Chapter 21 Sincerity and Partner
Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked out of town, Payne walking alone in front with his head bowed, looking thoughtful, while Roy followed behind him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"None of you have lesions... , I mean disease. Payne stopped, turned to Roy, and asked. The latter shook his head, "Not really, we've all been back in town for five or six days, and we haven't heard of anyone sick." ”
"Whew, that's good. Payne exhaled lightly, and it seemed that the air would not spread the plague, which reassured him. If there is an epidemic, he will leave Meg Town immediately, lest he unknowingly become a member of the zombie army.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the place where Payne usually practiced swords.
Half the size of a basketball court, with weeds pulled out, compacted ground, and trees on all sides, it's a good practice area.
The two of them stood in the middle of the field, and Payne roughly explained, "Roy, you just stand here, wait a minute, I need you to tell me what you saw, understand?" Payne said in a solemn tone.
Roy didn't know why, but he agreed, he thought, it's a big deal to be beaten, it's better than being hungry.
After a little preparation, Payne said, "Here we go." The other party nodded, very cooperative.
Payne's mind moved, the skill was triggered, and the surrounding scenery was suddenly frozen. Payne turned and ran towards the edge of the field.
Five seconds passed quickly, and when the effect of the skill wore off, Payne walked up to Roy, "What did you just see?"
Roy wondered, and thought to himself, this man has a bad head. Still, he replied truthfully, "I saw you running from here to there. Roy gestured to where he had stopped.
"Just ran over, didn't there be anything strange happening?" said Payne, looking a little agitated.
Roy began to wonder if he would get two loaves of bread before sunset, the man was obviously in a bad head. "I only saw you running past, and I didn't see any strange imagination. If there's anything you want me to see, I can try to imagine it. ”
"Not really. Payne said excitedly.
When he saw Roy, an idea sprung up in his head. He wanted to know what it looked like to others when he triggered the skill. And the other party's appearance looks a little stupid, even if he sees a strange scene, it is estimated that no one will believe him, so... Roy is a good candidate.
Roy looked at the employer in front of him with sympathetic eyes, trying to show a normal demeanor, if he really couldn't give up the two pieces of bread, he would definitely call a 'madman', and then turn away.
"Alright, Roy, let's take a break, we'll need your help later. ”
Roy nodded, in his opinion, it was much easier than carrying goods at the docks, as long as he could fill his stomach, he didn't care if the other party was crazy or not.
About the time was up, and Payne continued his 'experiment', this time choosing to fight Roy, but not really, at least not in the face.
After the two sides were ready, Roy stretched out his palms and pushed Payne, and if he was pushed by the opponent, Payne would only fall a few times at most.
However, at the moment when Roy took the palm, the skill was successfully triggered.
Payne looked at the frozen Roy, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, quickly got close, and then tripped the other party. After the effect of the skill disappeared, Payne looked condescendingly at Roy who fell to the ground, and said with a wicked smile, "What did you just see?"
Roy sat up and looked at Payne in surprise, "How did you do that?"
"What?"
"When I pushed you, you dodged ahead of you as if you had expected it. Roy finally sensed something was wrong.
"Yes? That's right. Payne reached out and pulled Roy to the ground, "I've been instructed by the gods. ”
"Gods, you've seen gods!" Roy's eyes widened, his expression rather shocked.
'You really believe it'. Payne chuckled in his heart, "Have you seen it in your dreams?"
Roy looked a little disappointed, "I've dreamed of a god too, but he didn't give me any guidance. ”
Looking at Roy's serious appearance, Payne spread his hands a little helplessly, "You are not religious enough, I mean the belief in the gods, but don't worry, as long as you remain faithful to the gods, she will give you guidance sooner or later." ”
"Really!"
'How do I know,' Penn muttered inwardly. Still, he nodded and smiled.
Until sunset, Roy couldn't remember how many times he had fallen, and a few times, he felt like he was about to succeed, but the other party could easily avoid it, and then... , and he was knocked down again.
Payne was very happy with the outcome today, and through Roy's description, he didn't have to worry about revealing anything in front of people, everything seemed so natural - at least it didn't feel weird.
Back in Megtown, Payne buys three loaves of bread, two of which are naturally for Roy.
"Yes, this is your payment. Payne handed two pieces of brown bread to Roy, who took the bread and gulped it straight away, looking like he was hungry.
"I think we're clear, goodbye Roy. Payne turned to leave, but Roy handed back another loaf of bread, "I'm not that big, you can take this piece back, I hope... and hope you will hire me for a long time. ”
What a simple and honest fat man, Payne looked at the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but think of his past life, he didn't want to refuse the other party, but he had already made a decision when he threw away the bread, he wanted to join the mercenary.
"Roy, I'm afraid the path I'm going to take is not acceptable to you. ”
"It's better than starving. Roy was serious, he stretched out his hand and made an oath motion, "I can swear to the gods that I will never betray you, even if I die, I will not have a trace of resentment against you, please... Please take me with you. ”
Although Roy and Payne have only been together for most of the day, he has a strong affection for the employer in front of him, and he feels that the other party is an out-and-out good person.
The word good may not be a compliment in another world, but in this world it goes far beyond what it meant to be trustworthy.
At the Golden Harbor Pier, almost no one calls him by name. Maybe it's because he looks stupid, doesn't use his brain, and often offends people inexplicably, so he is mostly called stupid, fat pig, and even mongrel.
And during most of the day, his employer called him only one, and that was Roy. Even if he was knocked down more than a dozen times like a stupid pig, this title has not changed.
In addition, there is another important reason that makes Roy determined to follow the other party... , that's easy. It has nothing to do with age, the point is that he sees a shining point in Payne, which is the same quality as him, - sincerity.
