The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 12: It's all alcohol's fault

Views:

While Regnar and others were getting drunk in the tavern, Alex was walking around the headquarters of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild with a stack of documents. All the guild members along the way would bow slightly to show respect when they saw this thin man. When he came to the door of the president's room, a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old with neat ice-blue short hair was walking out of it.

"The president is waiting for you inside." The girl closed the door gently and said to Alex in a cold voice that was inappropriate for her age. Although she worked in the Thieves Guild, she did not wear leather armor consistent with her identity as a thief. Equipment, but his petite and plump body is covered in a moon-white cloth robe. He looks like a mage.

"Oh, my beautiful Annelotte, it's so rare to meet you. Have you missed me these days?" Alex's face was full of joy at this time, and he was completely different from the sinister and short man Regnar had met. Two people.

"Don't waste Mr. President's time, hurry in." Annelotte walked over to Alex without even looking at him, leaving him with only a hurried back.

"This ice sculpture woman." Alex glanced at Annelotte blankly, smiled and shook his head. Then he adjusted his mood, gently knocked on the door with a slightly respectful expression on his face, and then opened the door directly and entered. In the room, the highest authority of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild and the most formidable assassin in the Eastern Continent, Verles Deep Shadow, was drinking tea and patiently waiting for Alex.

"How's the situation?" Villes asked straight to the point, his voice was calm, as confident and elegant as an old gentleman.

Alex bowed slightly and said: "The situation is very good, Regnar's performance far exceeded our expectations."

"Tell me more details."

"Yes. According to our observation, Regnar's fighting spirit level is not high, it should only be level five, but I also obtained some information through the intelligence network in the west. After comparison, I found that Regnar lives in a slum. He didn't seem to reveal the fact that he was capable of fighting spirit..."

Alex turned over the documents in his hand, and then continued: "On February 14th of this year, more than eight months ago, he was beaten severely by the owner of the bakery for stealing bread, and that The bakery owner was an ordinary person who didn't have fighting spirit or martial arts. If Regner had fighting spirit at that time, it would be impossible for him to defeat the shop owner.

I can only find two explanations for this. The first is that Regnar possessed fighting spirit very early, but he deliberately hid it and did not show it even when he was beaten severely. However, this possibility does not seem to be very big, because I found out that Regnar Gena once used his fighting spirit to deal with three prisoners who were in the same cell as him on the way to escort, which shows that he probably has no intention of hiding anything.

The second explanation is that Regner's fighting spirit was only acquired recently, at least after February 14th. I am also skeptical about this. After all, it is really difficult to develop level five fighting spirit in eight months. It's a bit unbelievable. But I can't find any other explanation other than this. "

"There is no doubt about this. Regnar's fighting spirit must have only been acquired recently." Villes said.

"Yes." Although Alex didn't know where Villes came to the conclusion, it had become his habit not to question what the president said. After accepting this fact, Alex I couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, then this child's potential is terrible."

"No, Alex." Villes shook his head: "Regner's potential may be quite amazing, but it is not to the level you imagined. The reason why he was able to possess level five fighting spirit in a short period of time is just It's just an explosive manifestation of the ability accumulated over many years. In the future, his cultivation speed will be slower. Then what? How is his performance tonight?"

"It's still unexpected." Alex replied: "This time I have arranged a level four defense for him. Normally, a level eight thief should be able to sneak in safely. But..."

"But he did it too?"

"It's not just that, President." Alex smiled: "He managed to sneak in silently!"

"Oh?" There was a hint of surprise in Velez's voice.

The so-called silent infiltration refers to the infiltration method that reaches the destination without subduing any enemy or being detected by any enemy. As the world's top assassin and thief, Veles certainly knew how difficult this method was, and because of this, Veles was a little surprised.

Alex nodded and said, "That's right, after finishing Regnar's matter, I ordered a head count, and the subsequent report stated that all guards were on duty, and none of the surrounding traps were triggered. Afterwards, I had someone conduct a detailed inspection, and finally found out that Regner walked in along the road directly relying on the shade of the tree."

"Are these people blind and terminally ill with night blindness? Let these guys eat more vegetables in the future." Villes raised his forehead with his hand.

"Overall, Regnar's performance has completely exceeded our expectations. Therefore, I would like to remind you again, do you still choose the previous plan to cultivate him?" Alex asked cautiously.

Villes pondered for a moment and then said: "No need to change, he is still too young, and things within the guild are not suitable for him yet. If he is allowed to enter the guild so early, no one can say whether he will become another Barrow." Well, there is no need to change this matter."

"Yes, as you wish." Alex bowed slightly.

"How is Balor doing now?" Villeless asked again.

Alex flipped through the document again and answered: "According to the report, he has no missions at the moment, so he went to the orc territory to the north by himself, claiming to be practicing."

"Are you too lazy to make up excuses now?" Villes frowned.

"After all, he is just a boy under twenty years old." Alex seemed to be trying to persuade him.

"I can tolerate his impulse, but it must be under the premise that this impulse will not turn into stupidity!" Villes said coldly: "Continue to pay attention to him, and if necessary, have him taken away. Come back. Put the information on the table. I will look at it when I have time. You have worked hard these days, so you can go down and rest first."

"It is my honor to serve you, sir." Alex bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

The next day, Regnar woke up in a daze. He moved Kordak's big foot away from his head and muttered, "It stinks! Boss, you didn't wash your feet last night."

"Huh?" Kordak replied in a daze: "I carried you back last night. I was exhausted when I came back. You kid really thought of yourself as a monkey after you drank some wine. In my case, The body was jumping up and down, and Vera and I couldn't hold it down. Besides, this is my bed, it's enough for me to share half of it with you, how can you have so many demands?"

These days, Regnar has been sleeping in the same bed with Kordak. Originally, the three of Kordak rented three single rooms in the hotel for a long time. Since Regna arrived, how to arrange for him to sleep? is also a problem.

Although the three of them were unwilling to have another person taking up space on the bed, unfortunately there were no free rooms in the hotel these days, so they had to either let Regna sleep in the corridor, or they could only sleep with one person.

It was obvious that Kordak and Silenos would never agree to Vera's room, regardless of whether the owner or Regnar wanted it. And Silenos, who is withdrawn and taciturn, doesn't seem to be a good choice. As a result, Kordak became the first man Regnar slept with.

"But you should also pay attention to your personal hygiene." Regnar turned over comfortably, and then his fair and delicate feet came into his eyes. He continued: "Huh? Boss, you are really weird. , one foot is big and the other is small, the big one is so... smelly... "

Regnar spoke slower and slower because he realized that something seemed not quite right.

First of all, although the two of them slept on the same bed, due to Regner's small body and the two of them sleeping head-to-head, the double bed in the hotel was quite spacious for normal use. But today Regna felt extremely crowded, as if there was an extra person.

Secondly, Regnar clearly remembered that the big foot he moved away just now was his right foot, and now the pleasing slender foot in his eyes seemed to be his right foot too...

Third, after Regnar looked around, he found that this room seemed different from before. At least the sheets that were originally blue had now turned pink...

A ball of heart-wrenching fear suddenly exploded in Regnar's heart, completely clearing away the remaining alcohol. He tremblingly looked down along the slender foot, praying that things were not what he imagined. After seeing the owner of the slender foot clearly, Regnar slowly breathed a sigh of relief - this time he finally didn't have to struggle, he was really dead! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

"Farewell, I love this world!" Regnar shouted his last words from the bottom of his heart, and then glanced at the confused Vera. Suddenly, the spark of hope seemed to slowly start to burn.

Regnar jumped out of bed lightly. He was about to turn around and leave, but after looking at Kordak who was sleeping soundly and unconsciously again, he gritted his teeth and prepared to help him.

"Boss, boss, get up and go!" Regnar patted Kordak's cheek gently, his voice not much louder than a mosquito's hum.

"Oh, what are you doing? I'm sleeping!" Kordak shouted impatiently, his voice so loud that Regnar almost took out a dagger and cut off his vocal cords.

Regnar covered Kordak's mouth tightly, looked at him with a sharp gaze that could kill a nymphomaniac girl in an instant, and said softly: "Look back, if you are smart, don't make a sound, otherwise we will Hang together!"

Kordak looked back curiously, and then his face instantly turned from flesh color to white, then from white to black, and finally to green.

"Let's go!" Kordak's drunkenness also subsided in an instant. He lowered his voice and got up quietly to leave.

Silenos got up a little late today. He has the most regular schedule among the entire team, but because of drinking yesterday, he also stayed in bed today. After he woke up, he calmed down and started to wash up after getting rid of the alcohol.

A few minutes later, he was fully dressed and came to the door of Kordak's room. Because both teammates were slackers, he was responsible for being their alarm clock.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk." Silenos knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time.

"You woke up late? These two guys have already gone out?" Silenos knew that Kordak and Regnar had something to do today, and he thought maybe the two of them had gone out.

But after thinking about the original peeing nature of those two people, he shook his head with certainty, and then knocked on Vera's door again.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Vera should be at home." Silenus thought, and then he heard Vera's sleepy voice coming from the room: "Well, Silenus? Come, come. Huh? Ah!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why are you two in my bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"Silenos, remember this! We won't let you go even if we are ghosts!" Two more people inside screamed in unison.

"This...are these the voices of Kordak and Regnar? What happened inside?" Silenos thought.
