"Boy, did you make a woman's belly grow bigger at such a young age?" A middle-aged man with a thin stature and a wretched appearance came over. He glanced at Vera and praised: "You have good taste! But this matter is not easy to handle. Why? Well, I have a medicine here, made by this alchemist myself, with zero risk and no pain. It only costs twenty gold coins and one night with your female companion. If you are willing to add another night, then I will do it for free."

Regna hugged Vera and gently patted her sobbing shoulder. He looked at the man and the little yellow pill in his hand coldly, and said five words in a tone of minus 273.15 degrees: "If you don't want to die, get out!"

When Regnar spoke, the man was looking down at Vera with lustful eyes, and imagined what a wonderful scene it would be to have such a hot stunner under him. After hearing Regnar's words, he raised his head angrily. He never expected that a skinny little brat would dare to openly insult a mage, so he was thinking about how to deal with this brat who had offended him. See He doesn't know the common sense that there will be no good outcome if you come against the mage, right? Use one of his arms to let him know

But things didn't develop as he imagined. When he raised his head and stared into Regnar's eyes, a strange feeling completely surrounded him.

If I had to describe it, it would feel like being alone in an absolutely dark space, with no direction, no gravity, and even no time! Some are just endless darkness! Obviously, this feeling cannot be pleasant. So the man shivered inexplicably, and then broke out in cold sweat. Although there was no basis for it, he firmly believed that if he didn't do it, the consequences would be ugly, so he left angrily without saying a word.

"What? Are you being driven back?" After the middle-aged man returned to his drinking table, another young man asked.

"Damn it, that kid is weird!" The man wiped the sweat from his head and took a sip of wine to calm himself down.

"What powerful person can be in this shabby tavern?" The young man was stunned for a moment. He knew that although this middle-aged man did not look very good, he had the strength of a level 7 magician, and there was nothing to be afraid of in this tavern. people.

"Don't think about it. After drinking, leave immediately. You didn't look into his eyes at that time, and you didn't experience that feeling." The middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"How does it feel?" the young man asked.

"The feeling of looking into the eyes of death!"

Regnar slowly adjusted his emotions while continuing to soothe the emotions of Vera beside him. Although I only got along with Vera for less than half a month, Vera took good care of herself anyway.

Now that he saw her crying and weak, Regnar naturally felt a strong desire to protect her. So when the middle-aged man uttered obscene words, especially when he found out that this middle-aged man was also a mage like the person who killed Vera's brother, Regnar's heart beat violently, and he felt furious. It almost overwhelmed his sanity. Now that he had succeeded in drinking the man away, Regnar naturally wanted to continue to comfort Vera who was in agitated mood.

"Can you forgive me?" Vera gradually calmed down her emotions, but what she said made Regnar feel that she was completely insane.

"Sister Vera, I'm not..." Regnar explained slowly.

Vera pulled the corner of her mouth with a smile and said: "No, of course I know you are not my brother. But now I have no way to apologize to my brother, and I don't have the face to ask for his forgiveness. Do you know? You are really similar to him, Although the faces are different, the expressions and personalities are very similar. So, I want to ask for your forgiveness. Maybe this will make me feel better in the future. Are you willing to forgive me?"

"I..." Regnar was silent for a moment and nodded solemnly: "I forgive you. I believe your brother will also forgive you if he knows your repentance. Sister Vera, you are wrong. You are a good person. You are really He is a good person, I have always thought so!"

"Thank you!" The corners of Vera's eyes became moist again.

"Do you think the result of this is that the two of us will end up staring at each other after a long time of hard work, and let this kid Regnar get a free advantage?" Kordak watched from a distance and "looked at each other affectionately" Regnar and the other two asked in strange tones.

"No." Silenos's answer was affirmative and direct.

"What's the reason?" Kordak asked again.

"I'm not sure about Regnar, but Vera only regards him as her younger brother, so no." Silenos said.

"Well, I hope so." Kordak sighed, then looked at Vera's slightly haggard back and said with pity: "She has been really suffering in the past few years. I hope she can feel better after tonight. Some. This way, her temper will improve, and the rest of us will feel better in the future."

"Did you think so when you went to kill that mage?" Silenos asked.

"There are factors like this, but the most important thing is that someone is bullying my woman like this. If I don't fight with him, I will commit suicide!" Kordak was filled with pride.

"Going to fight a mage of the same level alone. Your idiotic behavior is not much different from committing suicide. Don't forget that if I hadn't saved you that time, you would have been nothing more than an undead puppet now." Silenos now There are also more late talkers.

"Get out! It sounds like you are so powerful. It was just because you came a few minutes late. If you had fucked you first, you would have been in trouble!" Kordak scolded his savior confidently.

"But you made Vera think that I went to the casino with you to fool around, and I lost money and refused to admit it, so I was beaten out. As a result, I was also scolded." Silenos is always willing to pay for everything.

"You could have said that we were out to avenge her, why didn't you say that?" Kordak asked.

"I don't want to." Silenos smiled: "And to be honest, it feels really good to kill a mage."

"Then you deserve to be scolded!" Kordak looked at Regner and the other two again, turned around and said, "Let's go, that guy Regner probably saw us."

"Um...Sister Vera, I think my life will not be easy tomorrow, no, starting tonight." Regna began to cry sadly.

"What's the matter?" Vera asked.

"Look." Regnar pointed at the backs of Kordak and Silenos.

"Tch, aren't they those two guys?" After Vera cried a lot, not only did her mood return to normal, but her alcoholism seemed to have subsided for the most part.

"Sister Vera, don't tell me that you haven't noticed it after all these years." Regna asked tentatively.

Vera raised her eyebrows: "What do you see?"

"You really didn't see it?" Regnar asked again.

"It's inexplicable, what can you see?" Vera's face looked a little unnatural.

"Hey, it's hard to tell Brother Silenos, but I dare to bet you ten gold coins that the boss will definitely like you!" Regnar yelled.

Vera hurriedly covered Regna's mouth: "You kid, what are you talking about at such a young age?! We are just ordinary companions!"

Looking at the red-faced and shy Vera, Regnar felt a little funny in his heart. He suddenly felt that he had really made a lot of money today. He had a relationship with his boss in the morning, so his life would be much easier in the future. It was considered a profit; in the afternoon, he made a lot of money. I walked around Meteor City, and at least I didn’t get lost on this side of the bright star, which was a small profit. At night, I saw Vera in four forms: strong, intoxicated, weak, and shy. The first two may not be valuable, but the latter two It’s a real golden collector’s edition! I'm afraid this kind of huge profit will make the two Kordak jealous, right

Regnar thought about it for a while and said, "Hey, this is so serious! Then I'll go talk to them both."

"What did you say?" Vera didn't respond.

"Say that you are not interested in either of them. You and them are just companions. Let them give up as soon as possible so that they don't have to make fun of you all day long." Regnar said in a sinister way. He discovered that he had a sinister soul. There seems to be a trend of awakening.

"You, you, you..." Vera seemed a little confused.

"Huh? Look at Sister Vera, you seem to be really interested in someone. Come on, tell me, tell me and I won't tell them." Regna began to dig up gossip.

"..." Vera looked at Regna as if she were a freak. She couldn't understand how this boy, who usually acted submissively in front of her, suddenly took the initiative today.

"How dare you! See if I don't skin you!" Vera threatened viciously, trying to take back the initiative again.

But Regna rolled his eyes and said with a bachelor's tone: "Sister Vera, I can't just watch the boss and the two good men waste their time on you. Although you have good conditions, you can't eat more and take more, can't you? ?You see, the two of them have always been nice to me. Wouldn’t it be too heartless of me to just sit back and do nothing?"

"You are just heartless. It's in vain that my sister has been protecting you like this!" Vera was indignant.

"Oh, I'm just curious. Why don't you tell me to guess the head office?" Regnar rolled his eyes.

"Huh!" Vera said noncommittally.

"Hmm..." Regnar thought for a moment: "I guess it's Brother Silenos. He looks more stable and handsome than the boss. He's also a nice guy and has a good personality. Don't they say that? Silent men are the most attractive.”

"Tch!" Vera curled her lips: "Silenos is just a boring gourd. He can't even say a word for a long time. Being with him is boring to death!"

"Sneeze!" Silenus sneezed.

"You still have a cold? What kind of physical fitness?" Kordak laughed.

"Ah?!" Regnar didn't expect that Vera would comment on the typical good man in his eyes like this. Then he was stunned and continued with a look of disdain: "Could it be that you like the boss? This taste... seems a bit heavy!" "

"It's even more impossible for him!" Vera raised her eyebrows: "Look at him, he's as tall and thick as a bear, has a bad temper, is lazy, and loves to eat and work. How can I like this kind of person?"

"A sneeze! A sneeze! A sneeze!!!" Kordak sneezed three times in a row, and then smiled dryly in Silenos's disdainful eyes and said: "Haha, today is quite evil, isn't it..."
