Views:

Early the next morning, Regnar found the ghost grass and cartilage flower from Olgar Rock. He expertly ground these materials into powder and prepared venom, and then applied it on the swallowing light and black blades. . And just in case, he made an extra bottle and took it with him.

After doing all this, Regnar decided to leave for Yege Forest at noon. Since he had said goodbye last night, everyone's mood seemed to be much more stable when Regnar came out at noon.

Kordak and Vera agreed to wait for him at the giant tree in the northern part of Nightsong Forest, which can be regarded as a symbol of the northern part of Nightsong Forest. It was a giant sequoia tree that was seventy meters high. Regnar was so shocked when he saw it for the first time that his jaw almost dropped.

Kordak originally wanted to go to Balor with Regnar, but Regnar refused to do so. Because he didn't know whether Balor had set up an ambush there, it would be very easy for him to escape if there was only Regnar alone, but if there were more people, it would be very difficult to escape.

Correspondingly, Kordak did not agree to let Regner go into danger alone. The two bargained for a long time and finally agreed that Kordak would meet Regnar in the northern part of Yesong Forest. In order to avoid attracting Balor's attention, they had to postpone their visit for one day.

After leaving Orgrimmar, Regnar went to Nightsong Forest alone. Because he was alone, he was not discovered by the unsuspecting orc patrols along the way. As for Kordak and the others, Olga Rock will send someone to escort them when they leave, and there should be no danger along the way.

Because he had a mount, it only took Regnar three days to reach Yege Forest, and then more than a day to reach Shimmer Lake. It was noon when he arrived near Shimmer Lake.

In order to prevent Balor from setting up an ambush, Regnar did not go to Shimmer Lake to find Balor at the beginning. He first observed the surroundings. After confirming that Balor had not set up any ambush, Regnar then Then I went to find Balor. And it was already evening, which was a very appropriate time, because even if he really fought Balor

Get up, then the coming night will also allow him to use his dark body.

Unexpectedly, Balor looked quite relaxed this time. He pitched a tent by the Shimmer Lake. Perhaps because he was so busy waiting for Regnar these two days, this guy even picked up a fishing rod and fished in Shimmer Lake.

"You're finally here. I thought you weren't coming back." Balor said without looking back. His calm and leisurely look really gave off the aura of an outsider.

But Regnar looked at his fish bucket, and then sneered at this guy for pretending not to wear a belt. Damn, after fishing all afternoon, there were only two small fish in the bucket? ! Even if I jump into the lake and catch you, it will be more efficient than yours!

"Where is Irene?" Regnar didn't have time to laugh at Balor, but directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The little girl whose face was severely burned? Don't worry, he is fine." Balor smiled: "At least I have no idea of harming her yet."

"I asked him where he was!" Regnar repeated.

"Of course it's in the Western Continent. It took me a lot of effort to find it." Balor said, "So I've been thinking about how to best use the things I've worked so hard for these past few days. .”

"She has nothing to do with this matter. If anything happens, just come to me and don't hurt the people around me!" Regna immediately became anxious.

Balor shook his head: "No, I'm just here to threaten you and threaten the things you care about. Is there any better way to target it than this?"

"You!" Regnar's eyes suddenly became filled with murderous intent, but he forcibly restrained his impulse, and then asked: "What do you want from me? You asked me to come, and now I'm here, what should I do next? What do you have to do to let Erin go?”

"I want you to commit suicide, are you willing to do it?" Balor suddenly asked.

"You will let Irene go if I die?" Regnar asked in return.

"Of course, if you die and I achieve my goal, then other things are not important to me. Whether that ugly monster is dead or alive is also not important to me. It doesn't matter whether I kill him or let him go." Barrow Er shrugged.

"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Is there any other way?"

Balor smiled contemptuously: "I knew you wouldn't give up your life so easily. No one would give up their life for others." Then a trace of coldness and sadness flashed in his eyes: "Just like my sister wouldn't It’s like fighting to the death for me.”

"Sister Vera was just confused for a moment. Don't you ever have times when you are timid? Don't you ever have times when you are weak?" Regnar asked in return.

"No." Balor said calmly.

"You're lying!" Regnar clearly didn't believe it. Even the Scarlet God of War Clayton or the Wind Sword Saint Malolite would have moments of fear and cowardice. How could he, Balor, not

"Did I lie?" Balor put down the fishing rod and stood up. He looked down slightly at Regna, who was a few centimeters lower than him, and said coldly: "I lied? How do you know I lied? Have you ever seen him? How have I lived these past few years? Do you know how I have lived these past few years? How can you be sure that I am lying? "

"I don't know." Regnar stared at Balor. The young man's tall body and sharp breath gave him a sense of oppression, but he was not to be outdone. He gritted his teeth and continued: "But I can Definitely, it is impossible for everyone to be brave all the time, no one!"

"You don't know!" Balor pushed Regnar back and staggered: "You don't know that you are so sure that you are there? You have no idea how I have lived in the past few years. I am alone, facing What can I do in the face of the pressure of teachers, the pressure of enemies, and the pressure of loneliness? If I want to survive, I must be brave. Ever since that woman Vera abandoned me, I must be brave. I must be strong. No matter what kind of danger I face, I must stand up and face it alone. Therefore, I have never been timid, because I am the only one. If I remain weak, I will die! What do you know? What do you know? !”

Regnar stood firm, then frowned: "I'm not here to discuss with you whether you have ever been cowardly. I'm here to find clues about Irene. Tell me, what should I do, you Can you tell me the clue about Erin?"

Balor stared at Regnar and said, "Is that ugly guy really that important to you?"

Regnar smiled: "Perhaps, in your eyes, she is an ugly monster, but just like I don't understand you, you also don't understand my past life. To me, she is the most important person in my life." The first light is so dazzling and irreplaceable. So, yes, she is very important to me. And if you want to use her to blackmail me, then congratulations, you succeeded."

Balor didn't expect Regnar to answer so simply, and even assume such a posture of letting others take advantage of him, which caught him off guard. But after that, an inexplicable anger surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he said coldly: "You really do love each other."

"No matter what you say, tell me, what can I do to satisfy you, and what can I do to keep Irene safe? Give up competing with you and disappear from sight?" Regnar said sincerely: "If you can guarantee her Peace, I can just disappear, give up everything now, and promise not to appear in the sight of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild again."

"Give up competition?" Balor stared at Regnar and suddenly laughed. He said in a mocking tone: "Give up competition? Hahahahahahaha, do I need you to give up? You are not as strong as me, why should I be afraid? You? Why do you want to use others to force you to give up competition? Don't think that you are invincible if there are a bunch of people helping you, and don't think that Teacher Villeless has regarded you as his successor! You are just a poor person who worries about gains and losses. It’s nothing more than an insect, you can’t compete with me, you can’t compete with me! You shouldn’t compete with me, you shouldn’t become my enemy! Because you are not my opponent at all!”

"Then tell me what I should do to avoid losing Irene!" Regnar raised his voice: "Whether it is the inheritance of Mr. Velez or the status of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild is not important to me at all! I All you want is my friend, my brother! What on earth do you want from me?"

"Duel with me!" Balor said with a ferocious look: "I want you to have a duel with me upright and to the death! I want to defeat you upright! I want to prove to the teacher who is the real genius! I want to Prove to Vera that she will always be a coward who can only run away! I want to prove to everyone who helps you that I am better than you! Let me duel with you in an upright manner!"

Regnar stared blankly at the somewhat crazy Balor. Only then did he realize that maybe the guild and status were not actually important to Balor. The reason why he hates himself so much is because he has something he can never get, that is, friendship and friends.

Balor has been alone in the past few years, and the warmth and affection he once had were all evaporated when Vera ran away. After suffering this blow, Balor began to hate and yearn for the true feelings between people. As his competitor, Regnar not only has the support of others, but more importantly, he has several life-and-death friends who are willing to risk their lives for him. This is something Balor hates and envy immensely.

Therefore, he has always hated Regnar with all his heart. Not only did he want to kill him, but he also wanted to prove to him how stupid it was to believe in feelings. Because only by proving it, he will feel that the loneliness and pain of these years are meaningful and correct.

"Sister Vera, leave your brother to me. I will definitely bring him back." Regnar thought silently in his heart, and then drew out his light-swallowing sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Balor.

"Are you agreed?" Balor also regained his composure and calmness. He drew out his two long swords at the same time, and then said calmly: "Then let's get started!"
