The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 143: Balor's weakness

Views:

Looking at Vera who was hesitant to speak, Regnar found it a little funny. He took a bottle of human red wine from the cabinet and poured a glass for Vera.

"This was specially given to me by Olgar Rock as a thank you gift for helping him avenge him." Regnar raised the wine in his hand, then took a sip: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, Vera Sister, we don’t need to worry too much between us.”

Vera looked at Regnar, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I know a weakness of Balor. Maybe this can help you win this duel?"

"Oh?" Regnar became interested. If he could know more about Balor's weakness, it would undoubtedly be an advantage for him. In this way, he would be more likely to defeat Balor. Therefore, Regnar immediately asked: "What's the weakness?"

"..." Vera fell into silence. She said after a while: "I can tell you, but you also have to promise me something."

"whats the matter?"

Vera gritted her teeth and said: "I know it may be selfish to say this, but I still ask you, if you really defeat Balor, I hope you can let him go."

Regnar fell into silence. He stared at Vera, and then asked: "Then, if I don't agree to you, you won't tell me his weaknesses?"

Vera hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head: "No, I will still tell you. But, Xiao Lei... sister, please, if you can defeat Balor, please let him live, he... He is my only relative in this world..."

"This relative of yours is also the person who wants to kill you and me the most." Regnar replied coldly: "Sister Vera, have you forgotten how he killed Uncle Field? That was his father! He's also your father! Even so, do you still want me to let him go?"

"..." Vera didn't know what to say, so she killed her father, and at the same time kept trying to kill herself and her companions. For such an enemy, naturally the best choice is to kill him before he kills himself.

However, this enemy is his biological brother, the brother who has lived with him for more than ten years, the biological brother who has always been around him and called his sister obediently!

And he has nothing to do with her for becoming like this. Facing such an enemy, how can she do it? How could she bear it? He is already Vera's only relative in this world, should he also die

She couldn't do it, she really couldn't do it. The duel between Regnar and Balor was like a nightmare to him. She really wanted to wake up from this dream soon, so that Balor and Regna could shake hands and make peace, and maybe they could still be together. Be very good friends. But all this is impossible, because all this is not a dream, but a cold and cruel reality.

Therefore, she could only make such a selfish request here, asking Regnar to let Balor go. After watching Balor kill Field, she had completely lost confidence in this brother, but no matter what, he was her brother, and she still hoped that her only remaining relative could live in this world. Therefore, he could only ask Regna, this cheerful young man with a similar personality to his former brother, to show more mercy and mercy.

But now it seems that Regnar doesn't want to let him go.

There was a bitter smile on Vera's lips. Yes, since Regnar came to the Eastern Continent, Balor's persecution of him has almost never stopped. Not only was Silenus's death related to him, but even the deaths of Gerhart and Minnie were probably secretly arranged by him. Why should such people receive forgiveness and mercy? There is nothing wrong with Regnar not letting him go.

However, he is Vera's relative after all. So, facing Regnar, Vera gritted her teeth, and finally stood up and knelt in front of Regnar.

"Sister Vera, what are you doing?" Regnar was startled and rushed to help Vera, but Vera was more determined than expected and refused to get up no matter what. In desperation, Regnar could only kneel there facing Vera.

"Ah, since you are already kneeling down, I can only kneel down to you." Regnar rolled his eyes and said.

Seeing Regna's somewhat rogue face, Vera's sad mood suddenly burst into laughter, and she actually burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, I won't kneel anymore, please get up." Vera said angrily. No matter how serious or heavy the matter is, it will always change a bit when it comes to Regnar. This guy has always had this weird ability.

"Hehe, that's about it." Regnar rubbed his nose.

"You've never been serious!" Vera glanced at Regnar angrily, then changed into a serious tone and asked: "Then will you agree or not?"

"Promise! Of course I agree!" Regnar said without hesitation.

"Then why did you speak like that just now?" Verachi said.

Regnar shrank his neck and said slightly embarrassed: "I don't want you to make such a decision just out of impulse and pity, so I want to remind you that if you still insist that Balor is your brother , your only relative in this world, then I will naturally not take his life. That’s all!”

"Okay! You still dare to test me!" Vera immediately regained her true nature. She stretched out her hand to twist Regna's ears, but Regna had the foresight to shrink his neck a long time ago. This hard-earned grasping skill came to nothing.

"Hey, I've practiced it a long time ago!" Regnar said with a playful smile.

"Hmph! With the same virtue as Kordak, look at this posture, you two have even exchanged experiences on how to avoid me twisting your ears!" Vera curled her lips.

"That's right!" Regnar took a sip of wine, then patted the table: "You don't know, the boss made you angry for two days, his ears were almost longer than those of an elf, and then he came to learn from me. I taught him how to shrink his neck!"

"You two treasures..." Vera didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her heart sank again when she thought of what was about to happen. Vera shook off these nonsense emotions, and then said to Regnar seriously: "Okay, I won't fool around with you anymore, let's talk about serious things."

"Balor's weakness?" Regnar asked.

"Yes, Balor's weakness." Vera nodded: "I only remembered this recently. I think if you know about it, defeating it shouldn't be a problem."

"Huh? What kind of weakness? It sounds quite fatal." Regnar was very curious.

Vera thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, although it won't kill him, it would be the best way to subdue him."

"Okay, okay, stop being so pretentious, Sister Vera, just tell me quickly!" Regna rubbed his hands excitedly.

Vera smiled, and then said: "That happened a long time ago. I was anxious again. Balor and I went to the forest to collect, and he was bitten by a snake."

"Bitten by a snake? Poisoned?" Regnar was stunned.

Vera shook her head: "That's a very rare snake. If I remember correctly, it should be a red-blooded blue-backed snake. The toxins secreted by this snake when it bites people are not harmful to humans." Effect. But... "

Before Vera finished speaking, Regnar continued: "But if its venom is mixed with the petals of the ghost grass and cartilage flower, it can produce a poison that has a very strong paralyzing effect on the human body. Although the higher the level, the stronger the physical fitness of the warrior, the stronger the resistance to poison, but according to records, the venom of the red blood and blue back has a considerable effect even on the strong men in the sanctuary. And this is not the red blood and blue back. The most terrifying thing about the venom on the back is its extremely long incubation period. Once a human is bitten by it, its venom may always exist in the human body."

"You all know?" Vera was surprised. The red-blooded blue-backed snake was very rare. There was no abnormality after Balor was bitten, so the two of them never paid attention to it.

It wasn't until her family died and she became a mercenary that Vera inadvertently read a recipe for making paralyzing poison from a poison book. According to the description in the Poison Book, Vera knew that Balor had been bitten by a red-blooded blue-backed snake a few years ago. But at that time, she thought Balor was dead, so she just sighed a few times and didn't pay too much attention. It wasn't until the past two days that she had been thinking about the solution to the matter between Regnar and Balor that she thought about it again.

"Of course I know. Don't forget that I am an assassin. In addition to sneak attacks and assassinations, a Yin man must also be good at sneaking in, picking locks, and making poison." Regnar smiled. Villes once gave him a poison book. Scripture, and in order to improve his strength, he had already memorized that book by heart.

"Then, you should know what to do." Vera nodded, but she added two more words: "But I was still young at the time, and it was a long time ago, so I'm not sure I bit him back then. Is it red blood and blue back?"

"Even if it is, we can't be sure whether the poison of Red Blood Blue Back is still lurking in his body." Regnar shrugged: "But it doesn't matter, I just need to apply the juice of Ghost Grass and Cartilage Flower. Just put it on weapons, if it works, then it’s good, if it doesn’t, then I won’t lose.”

"That's right." Vera nodded.

"I'll go make poison early tomorrow morning. Thank you, Sister Vera."

Vera smiled bitterly and said: "If you can win and let Balor go, I should be the one thanking you."

"Okay, there's no need for us to be polite. You help me escape, and I'll help you find your brother." Regnar grinned and said, "Sister Vera, don't worry, I will definitely let you Balor turns back into the younger brother you are familiar with."

Vera looked at Regna in bewilderment. She didn't know when the boy she had always taken care of as her little brother had grown up to the point where he could stand on his own. Not only did he rescue himself and Kordak from them despite the intimidation of the Mystical Eye, but now he had to help his lost brother find his way again on his behalf. This boy has really grown up!

"Xiao Lei... thank you" Vera had mixed feelings for a while, but in the end, she could only say this slowly.

"Hey, I've already said it, there's no need to say thank you between us."
