Chapter 867 (1/2)
At daybreak, cheese and Lothar go to the nearby river to wash themselves. They have not found a stable water source for a long time. Although the mage has his own way to keep his body clean, the feeling of the cold river flowing through his skin is still memorable. Of course, cleaning is just an excuse. The two men have other things to discuss.
”Which one do you believe?” Asked Lothar, standing in the river, with a rather unsightly expression. It is no wonder that Wuwei and Wuqi, as the leaders of the shale tribe and shaman, gave different answers to the same question. There is no absolutely incompatibility between the two answers. However, from the potential meaning behind the narrator's language, they do have contradictory parts. So the question for the group is who they should trust.
”Let's sort out the information we've got, starting with the head man.” Instead of walking into the river, cheese just wiped his arm with a piece of cloth dipped in water. The morning on the grassland was cold even in summer, and the mage was not as strong as the count. What's more, taking off his grey robe in a strange place is also unthinkable.
”According to uville, they were threatened by skinners. Wuqi went to discuss with the Skinner, and the final result was that Shaler and the other two films only needed to hand over the sacrifice, and there were no more requirements on the origin of the sacrifice. ” Lothar said, pausing for a moment. ”To be honest, we only need to ask Wuqi about this matter to find out whether it is true or false. If this is a lie, I can't think of the reason why the head wants to say that. Shaman is in our hands. Doesn't he know that it can be uncovered by simple inquiry?”
”Don't forget the state of Wuqi.” Cheese warned that Wuqi was in some very dangerous situation when they first sneaked into the shaman tent and tried to hijack its owner. It was Lothar's blunder that pulled the caster out of it and fell into a deep sleep. After waking up from a deep sleep, he kept repeating the word ”knot” madly. It was cheese that calmed him down. In this way, if uville knew what Wuqi was facing, and cheese didn't wake up Wuqi's consciousness in time, they would not have heard another version of the explanation.
The master's words made the two men fall into silence. The count immediately thought of something, ”if it is true that you said, the Shaman is not very dangerous now?”
”No Cheese stopped his companion who wanted to wear the armor. He had already thought about it before he came, ”this time, that's one time. First of all, Wuqi is not alone now. You seem to underestimate our little girl. She was able to defeat a blood race of the same level as Shande with her own strength. Several grassland people could not help her. Besides, since shaman wakes up, he is still the spiritual leader of the tribe. In a sense, the clansmen depend on him more than their counterparts. ”
Lothar frowned and, after a few seconds, put down her worries. ”So the liar is uville?”
The mage shook his head, ”shaman can't believe everything. He went through some very bad things that we didn't know before. Shamans are the channels of communication between heaven and earth, so they are also the most easily possessed. Even I doubt that the person we see is a bit of a human being. ”
It makes people feel cold behind their backs. The count felt as if the water on his back was about to freeze. Along with the deepening of his doubts, ”neither of them can be trusted, so what should we do? Find a way out as soon as possible? Can we escape? It's grassland around here. We have no place to hide. ”
”No, we're in the middle of it. It's also a pleasure to travel, isn't it?” Cheese said this in a relaxed tone. He was enjoying the long lost tension. The life in the tower made the mage's body almost grow moss. The mystery and complexity of the events encountered on the grassland awakened his other side.
Lothar also laughed. Unlike cheese, the count had already regarded this adventure as his last journey. After completing his goal, the responsibilities and obligations of the count of Heishan and many other matters as Helen's father will make the man never walk out of his castle. Even if the castle is as big as a country, it is a castle.
”Well, I will follow you as always, Mr. wizard.”
