Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 170 Adventure Squad

Where is Deborah?Stannis suddenly thought of the girl who was leaning on his shoulder yesterday, and looked there quickly, only to find that there was nothing beside him.

Robert on the opposite side obviously knew what he was looking for, "Boss, don't look for it! The girl who stayed with you last night left just as soon as the snow stopped."

Stannis looked at him in surprise, "Why do you..."

Robert shrugged indifferently, "I'm a very light sleeper, and I noticed it as soon as she came in."

Then your voice is still so loud!Stannis found that everyone he knew was talented in acting, and it was a little difficult for him to secure the best actor position.And what does it mean to spend the night with yourself?He didn't even touch it with his hands!

But at this time, Robert put away his usual playful smile, and instead said earnestly: "Boss, am I here to advise you as your servant that it's best not to get entangled with that kind of woman? But for that kind of sentimental woman, she only needs to make up a little story to play you around, I think she must have made up a lot of her tragic past last night, which made you soft-hearted and accept her for a while, right?"

Stannis shook his head stubbornly, "Don't talk nonsense! We just chatted casually." But he knew what his little brother said was true.

"Anyway, the reason she approaches you is either to make you responsible to her or to be your lover. In short, it's better to be careful and stay away from her." Robert walked away after finishing speaking, as long as there are some words.

But the lord's inner touch could not be calmed down. He lowered his head and looked at the quilt that Deborah brought last night, lost in thought.

Was everything she said... made up?

Suddenly it occurred to him that he still had important things to do.

Stannis hurriedly put on his coat and left the warehouse before he even had time to eat. Surprisingly, the blizzard that was accompanied by the icy north wind last night has completely stopped at this time, and the cloudless sky is full of deep blue flowers. The sun is shining brightly on the snow.

A few dead trees dotted the silvery white plain, but this was not the time for poetry, and Stannis hurried to the village chief's house, where the meeting would be held.

After he opened the door, he found that all the lords had arrived, and someone had already started talking.The small room was full of people, and the lords wore full armor on the occasion.

Stannis didn't find Deborah in the crowd. Didn't that girl leave him in the morning and never come back?He sneaked into the back row to stand with Barrow IV.

"What's the matter?" Stannis asked curiously in a low voice.

Like his older brother, Barrow IV answered all questions honestly, "They were arguing just now whether they should move on, or stay here and wait for the snow to pass. They expect there will be a bigger storm in the next few days. A blizzard is coming."

Stannis raised his head, looked through the crowd, and found that Marquis Enrique Jr. was arguing with a lord, blushing. He suddenly discovered that the guy turned out to be Wayne Frank, who had always called himself his old enemy!
"This guy is here too, I haven't noticed him before!" Stannis muttered to himself, feeling that things were getting more and more interesting.

Wayne, the earl didn't seem to want to give face to the leader of this operation, but started arguing loudly with him.

"Didn't you see outside the window! There is knee-deep snow everywhere, and marching in this situation is very difficult, let alone how we should resist if we encounter an enemy surprise attack!"

Although he didn't like this guy who liked to sarcastic about himself, Stannis still felt that he was right.

But the Marquis on the opposite side stubbornly shook his head, "It is absolutely impossible for us to stay here! His Royal Highness asked me to lead you to investigate, and it must be completed before the specified time. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must overcome them!"

Stannis now feels that the duke's methods are really powerful, but this little sweetness makes this young man wholeheartedly work for him, and he still needs to learn a lot about tactics.

And the lords were also divided into two factions to quarrel with each other. Looking at the lords who were fighting over such a trivial matter, Stannis not only sighed why he mixed with these people in this kind of place.

"These guys are really stupid, why don't we send a small team to investigate first?"

Stannis said helplessly to Barrow, but as soon as he finished speaking, the noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at him instead of speaking.

Stannis swallowed, for he was most afraid of this sudden silence.

Finally, the village chief, who was watching by the side, said, "I think this is a good idea. It's less than a day's journey from Lord Claude's territory. If you send a lightly armed team to hurry, you should arrive at noon tomorrow." There."

Stannis just wanted to say, 'Since it's so close, why didn't you send someone to check the situation before, how could it be repaired! ', and found that everyone agreed with this suggestion.

Soon, after unanimous selection, Stannis was honored as the best person to complete the task.

But this person who received such an important task didn't feel the slightest glory, Stannis wished he could slap himself on the spot, why couldn't he control his mouth!
After half a day of preparation, Stannis walked in the snow with a face full of reluctance, but he still got the right to choose a companion, so he chose his little brother Robert who was very reluctant to go there, his old enemy Earl Wayne, and Marquis Enrique, but in the end his last proposal was of course directly rejected, so he turned to the second and asked his chief staff officer Seaworth to follow him.Although Barrow IV strongly urged him to be taken, Stannis still left him to command the armies of the Long family and the Niu family.

Under the reverent gaze of many lords, the group of four embarked on this adventure, and Stannis saw Deborah's face in the farewell crowd, as well as the butterflies dancing on her chest.

After the afternoon, the snow and the wind began to blow mercilessly again, and the four people tied each other with a rope so as not to get lost in it.

Stannis has already begun to imagine what he will look like after being frozen to death. When the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year, his intact corpse will turn into mud and melt into the ground, or be found and eaten by scavengers and excreted as feces...

But the gods did not intend to take him in. Before nightfall, the group luckily found an abandoned mill. At the same time, Robert brought a small jar of pupil oil with him in advance, and a blue flame quickly rose among the four of them. , also illuminated their frozen faces like dead people.
