The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 152: Regner's responsibility

Views:

A few days later, Regnar finally woke up. Although the power of the body of darkness has only increased by one level this time, the side effects it brings to him are so obvious. When he woke up a few times before, he just felt sore and weak all over his body. But this time, not only did he feel sore all over, but he also had a splitting headache. The feeling was more severe and uncomfortable than the headache after a hangover.

He turned around and looked around, and found that he should be in a hotel, and it looked like a rather cheap tavern, but fortunately it was still clean, and judging from the decoration of the room, it should be in the human world.

"Boss, An..." Regnar was startled, and then he realized that Annelotte had left him. He sighed sadly, and then shouted: "Sister Vera, Yi Ni!"

The sound of hurried footsteps immediately sounded, and Enelise was still the first to rush in.

"Brother Regnar!" The little girl jumped directly into Regnar's arms like last time, but with the lessons learned from last time, her movements were obviously much gentler this time.

"Okay, okay, don't cry like this every time. Aren't Ini going to become a big girl? Then she needs to be stronger." Regna gently patted Inelis's slightly twitching shoulder.

"I really don't know what's going on. It's all thanks to Ini's care that you haven't starved to death in the past two days." Vera also walked in at this time, holding a plate in her hand with a piece of bread and a small dish of butter. Jiang: "Funds are tight these two days, so just make do with this meal."

"It would be nice to have some!" Regnar grabbed the bread, dipped it in the butter and wolfed it down.

Vera explained the situation to him while watching him eat. After finding him, the three Kordak decided to return to the human world before making any plans.

Because of what happened before, they did not dare to return to Meteor City. They moved to the southwest, and they were looking for places to stay in small towns where the information was not well-informed. Thanks to the caution along the way, the people from the Secret Eyes were unable to find them. However, due to financial problems, Kordak and Vera had to go out to find some work in exchange for a few copper coins.

It's a pity that both of them are considered elite mercenaries in Falling Star City. They usually spend hundreds of gold coins on each mission, but they didn't expect to end up in this situation, running around for a few copper coins. No, Kordak went out to help people move goods today, and he hasn't come back yet from his busy work.

"Thank you for your hard work." Regnar said slightly apologetically.

"Hey, they were all harmed by those scumbags from Mystic Eyes, and it's none of your business." Vera waved her hand indifferently.

"Speaking of which, how many days have I been in coma?" Regnar asked.

"It's been ten days, right?" Vera tapped her lips with her index finger and thought for a moment: "It should be. Counting from the time I found you, it's been nine days."

"I didn't expect to be unconscious for such a long time. It seems that the seventh level of the body of darkness cannot be easily opened." Regnar frowned. The side effects of this forced increase in strength were too strong.

"Xiao Lei..."

"kindness?"

"You and Balor..." Vera hesitated.

Regna smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Vera, Balor is not dead. He was defeated by me, but I didn't kill him, and I gave him a hard education. Although I don't know how effective it will be, But I think he won’t be like before, maybe he will change his mind and come back to you after a while!”

"Really!?" Vera's face was obviously happy. Although she was very relieved that Regnar survived after the duel, she had been worried about Balor's life and death all the time in the past half month, but Regnar She had been in a coma, and it was useless no matter how anxious she was. Now that she had received Regnar's affirmative answer, she was naturally overjoyed. This was the perfect ending that she had thought about over and over again, but she didn't expect that Regna would actually do it.

"Of course!" Regnar grinned rather proudly: "What I said and promised, I will definitely do it!"

"Xiao Lei, thank you!" Vera was so excited that she didn't know what to do. She suddenly came over and kissed Regna gently on the forehead.

"Wow~~!" Enelise quickly covered her eyes with her little hands.

"Sister Vera, you deliberately want the boss to torture me to death, right?" Regna joked with a smile.

"Hmph! You've really gone to heaven after complimenting you a few times. How dare you laugh at my sister?" Vera gently pinched Regna's ear, but she knew that Regna was extremely weak at this time, so she didn't do it. Cruel hand.

The three of them had a quarrel in Regnar's room for a while, and finally considering Regnar's frail health, Vera left with the reluctant Inelise.

By nightfall, Kordak finally came back from his physical work. When he learned that his younger brother had woken up, the eldest brother was naturally overjoyed. That night, Kordak spent all the money he had earned from his work today and took them to the best restaurant in the town for a delicious meal. .

"So we can leave for the Western Continent in the next two days?" Regnar asked while eating, although he was full of memories of the hardships in the slums in the Western Continent. But now, the continent on the far coast has become a place that haunts him, because the two most important people in his life are there.

"Of course, I think it will be difficult to stay here. Although the eyes of the secret have calmed down a bit in the past few days, who knows if this mad dog will jump up and bite us again when it finds our traces again. So, still It would be better to leave earlier." Kordak nodded, and then said: "There is just one problem."

"what is the problem?"

"Money..." Kordak spread his hands and said: "We have no money now. Look, for the four of us, just taking a boat to the Western Continent costs dozens of gold coins. Plus our food, drink, and diarrhea, I think We can't get through without two hundred gold coins."

Regnar looked at Inelis, and then asked tentatively: "Um... Inili?"

"Huh?" Enelise wiped the black pepper from the corner of her mouth.

"Do you want to go to the Western Continent with us? That's a very far place. How about staying here?" Regnar still thinks it's better not to take this little girl with him. Anyway, Deville's agreement should be After all, it would be safer to arrange her with Deville than to keep her by your side.

When Inelis heard this, she didn't burst into tears like the previous times. She lowered her head sadly and muttered, "Does Brother Regnar hate Ini so much?"

"Ah?" Regnar was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "What did Yi Ni say? Why does my brother hate you? Little Yi Ni is so obedient and cute. My brother has always liked little Yi Ni."

"Then why?" Inelise suddenly raised her head and asked with red eyes: "Why do you hope that sister Anne can be by your side, hope that sister Irene can be by your side, hope that uncle Kordak and Wei Sister La can be by your side, but she keeps trying to drive Yi Ni away?"

"..." Regnar was a little confused by Inelise's sudden question.

"It seems that brother still hates Inili..." Regnar's silence made Inelise even more sad. If it were anyone else, she might have left the seat angrily at this moment.

But Enelise would not. Although she was pure and kind-hearted, she was very sad because of Regnar, but she did not blame him for all this. She only thought that it was because she was not good enough and she did something wrong that made Regnar unhappy. Like yourself. Therefore, Enelise lowered her head silently and pretended to eat the fried steak as if nothing had happened, but her tears were dripping on her plate.

"Boy, sometimes you have to pay back the debt you owe. Don't think of letting it go so easily." Kordak couldn't stand it at this time, and he also said before that he wanted to help Inelis, so He patted Regna on the shoulder and whispered: "As long as you are not a complete idiot, you should be able to understand what this little girl is thinking. Do you really have the heart to hurt such an innocent little girl?"

"But..." Regnar said hesitantly, "I... I'm really afraid that I can't afford it..."

"My fucking little brother who has been with me for so many years actually said such cowardly words!" Kordak slapped Regnar on the back of the head: "What do you mean you can't afford it? Are you afraid that you can't afford it? , so you would rather a little girl get hurt? As a man, can you do this?"

"But I..." Regnar wanted to say something, but the complexity of the relationship was difficult to explain for a while, so he could only say vaguely: "And Annie..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Kordak said to Regner again: "What Yini wants now is just to be by your side? She never said she would be with you in this life! Besides, Annie hasn't gotten along with you yet! You're just a toad that wants to eat swan meat! Don't fucking think that you are a piece of cake. Every woman wants to take a bite of you. You are just a rotten egg. No one can pick it up. It’s good if you smell it twice without frowning!”

Regnar sniffed himself silently. Because he hadn't taken a shower since he was unconscious, he found that he really stunk... But he bet that it was a sour smell and had nothing to do with the smell of rotten eggs.

Kordak saw that he had almost said what he said, so he struck while the iron was hot: "Ini may have been fascinated by you because she was young and ignorant."

"Ignorance is fascinated by me..." Regnar murmured: "Boss, have I ever been like that?"

"That's not the point." Kordak raised his eyebrows: "Listen to me, he may be ignorant for a moment, but he may also really have feelings for you. But no matter what, what you should do now is Just keep her by your side and protect her at all times. After all, the person she trusts most now is you. If you have failed her, then how do you think she can trust others in the future? "

"..." Regnar was speechless. It wasn't until Kordak pointed it out that he realized that Inelis now has no father, mother, brother or sister. This poor little girl can be said to be alone in this world. , and she, the man she had known for less than half a year, seemed to have become her only support.

If you are everything to a person, then what kind of cruelty can make you cruel enough to let her down? At least, Regnar couldn't do it.

So, he nodded to Kordak, then stood up and walked behind Inelise and hugged her gently.

"I'm sorry, Ini, it was my fault just now." Regnar whispered in Inelise's ear: "Although I always thought that I was thinking about your safety, but now I realize that this is actually It's just me shirking responsibility. And, more importantly, I ignored Yi Ni's feelings because of my irresponsibility. Now, brother apologizes to you, I'm sorry, brother is a fool."

"No, it's because of Yi Ni's bad behavior that my brother doesn't like Yi Ni." Inelise said in a soothing tone.

"What's the matter?" Regnar said: "My favorite is Yi Ni. You are as important to me as Annie and the boss. Therefore, my brother is here to promise you. As long as Yi Ni If Ni doesn't take the initiative to propose it, then I will never leave your side again. How about it? Do you agree? "

Inelise was already dizzy from being overly sad, and now she didn’t quite understand the meaning of Regnar’s words, but she vaguely felt that this was a very good guarantee, so she softly said, “Well "Sounded.

"That's good." Regnar touched Enelise's little head: "Go to the Western Continent with your brother, okay?"

Only then did Inelise understand what Regnar meant. She raised her head in disbelief, after Regnar nodded affirmatively again. The little girl finally burst into laughter.

"Brother Regnar is the best!" Inelise cheered.

"Damn it, I spent a long time persuading Regnar to move, but in the end, you little girl didn't even look at me, you are really heartless!" Kordak burst into tears.

"How are you, Uncle Kordak! How are you all! Hehe!"
