When morning came again, Regnar was glad that the white, tender and delicate feet did not appear on the bed again this time. He looked at Kordak who was still snoring loudly beside him and nodded with satisfaction: "Life is finally back to normal..."

In fact, Regnar's life not only returned to normal, but even improved to some extent.

"Come on, come on, what does Xiao Lei want to eat? Tell the boss! The boss is treating you today and you will be satisfied!" Kordak's chest beat loudly under the strange looks from Vera and Silenos, and he said to Regnar The affectionate feeling was like finding a long-lost biological son.

"Do you recognize him as your godfather?" Vera asked tentatively.

"Why do you recognize a godfather?" Regnar's head was full of black threads: "A godfather only wants to be his daughter. Have you ever seen someone who wants to be a son?"

"Then why is he so attentive to you today?" Vera asked again.

"No way, Sister Vera, you are too worried." Regna pretended to be stupid.

"That's right, I'm fulfilling my duty as the boss today. Look at Xiao Lei calling me boss one after another. I have to express my feelings, right?" Kordak agreed.

"Two lunatics, one after another." Vera was too lazy to pursue further.

"Xiao Lei, I've treated you to dinner. Look at this...that...can you tell me something?" Kordak said in a low voice with a flattering face, looking like a dog waiting for its master to throw a bone.

"Hey, boss, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I have already promised to Sister Vera. I really can't tell you, at least in a few days, don't you think so?" Regnar also lowered his voice.

"Haha, it's okay. Just a few days." Kordak readily agreed, but he was cursing in his heart: "NND, you little fox, I'll just follow you for the next few days until I ask. After that, I will make you vomit as much as you eat me!"

Regnar was also smiling with a smile on his face at this moment, but he was determined to make full use of this piece of information and contact Brother Silenos

It turned out that when Regnar discovered that Kordak and the two saw him and Vera crying and embracing each other, they shouted in their hearts, "My life is at stake!"

In order to avoid being cleared out on the spot by his two leading brothers, Regnar began to desperately think about how to find an amulet to save his life. Very lucky, he found it. Regnar, who had taken the initiative in speaking last night, finally obtained some useful information after a series of hard and tough pursuits of Vera.

Maybe Regnar is still not sure which man Vera likes, but no matter what, Regnar did get some suggestive content from yesterday's conversation. And even just a few hints were enough to make Kordak, who had been flirting with Vera for several years, scratch his head. So Kordak changed his usual behavior and launched a war to please Regnar. This sumptuous lunch was one of the contents of the war.

"What should we do in the afternoon? You two slept until almost noon today." Vera, who had eaten and drank enough, wiped her pink lips gracefully and asked.

"I'm taking Xiao Lei to visit the Mercenary Alliance in the afternoon. It's better for him to register early to save worry. By the way, I'll see if there are any suitable tasks. I've been resting for a few days, so it's about time for some activity." Kordak answered.

"I'm going to the blacksmith shop in the afternoon. The weapon is almost repaired." Silenos said.

"Okay then, let's get down to business. I'll replenish arrows, potions, etc. in the afternoon." Vera nodded.

After a while, everyone agreed and went back to their rooms to prepare.

The mercenary alliance was not as noisy as Regnar imagined. The burly man with his chest hair exposed shouted loudly and the two of them would fight each other with swords whenever they disagreed. On the contrary, the mercenary alliance appears to be quite clean and tidy. Those mercenaries who are licking blood from their swords do not dare to show their arrogant and domineering character here. They are as quiet and orderly as upper-class gentlemen. When they meet acquaintances, they just Greet and talk in a voice that each other can hear.

"Didn't you expect that?" Kordak looked at Regnar who looked curious and asked with a smile.

"A bit." Regnar said: "In my impression, mercenaries are impulsive and hot-tempered guys, but looking at the group of mercenaries in front of me, I seem to think that I am wrong."

"Oh, of course what you think is not wrong." Kordak continued to lead Regnar through the crowd: "These big and thick men are basically the same as you described, but although they have a hot temper, they are not fools. , even high-level warriors cannot make mistakes on the territory of the mercenary alliance."

"So powerful? How does the Mercenary Alliance compare with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild?" Regnar asked.

"It depends on how you compare. When it comes to intelligence collection and stealth assassination, I don't think there is any organization in this continent that can compare with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. But if you let these two organizations fight against each other, then I think the Mercenary Alliance can easily We will wipe out the tentacles of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild." Kordak thought for a while and then said: "Of course, this will probably make the top brass of the Mercenary Alliance restless."

"Why?"

"I said you are really new here, and you don't even know your guild's own affairs." Kordak glanced at Regner and said: "In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, the Mercenary Alliance is probably higher than the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Two or three levels. But it is rumored that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild has a president that everyone is afraid of."

"Is he the guy I met last time when I stole a book?" Regner was slightly excited. Alex was the most terrifying person he had encountered in the past ten years of his life, so when he mentioned the legendary When looking for a character, Regner thought of him first.

"Mountain gunner!" Kordak looked at this young man who had never seen the world with disdain and said sharply: "That guy is at best an errand boy for the president."

"Wow, so powerful!" Regnar was surprised. In his eyes, Alex was a super strong person who could not be matched, and this super strong person could only run errands for the president.

"That is, you have to know that the other three major organizations have existed in this continent for hundreds of years. And do you know how long the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild has only been established? It's only been more than a dozen years. In just a dozen years, The reason why China can quickly grow into the fourth largest organization to compete with the other three major organizations is almost entirely due to the president’s single-handed efforts,” Kordak said.

In fact, all the above contents are the product of the rumors Kordak has heard in the past few years and his own analysis and demonstration. As for its authenticity, Kordak is not sure, but it is used to bluff Regnar. It's enough for a stupid boy to show off his profound knowledge in front of him.

"Hey!" Regnar was a little excited. Hearing his boss say that his president was such a powerful legend, he suddenly felt that he was walking on a straight and flat road in life with a bright future.

"Boss, boss! Do you know the name of our president?" Regnar wanted to remember the president's name in his heart and always refer to it as his benchmark in life.

"Uh... I don't know." Kordak's face began to look a little unnatural.

"What's the gender? Age?" Regnar was still very interested.

"Uh... I don't know." Kordak started to look embarrassed.

"Then he is a thief? A warrior? A ranger? A mage? You should know this, right?" Regnar was a little discouraged.

"That... hehe... this... is all a legend. How can you say it in such detail? But I guess he is probably a thief." Kordak said with a dry smile.

"You've been saying for a long time that you don't know anything. Tsk, I thought you were so knowledgeable. It seems that although your limbs are developed, your mind is simple!" Regnar said with disdain.

Kordak was furious: "What are you talking about, you brat? I know the origin of your guild after all. Now let's look at you. Are you still a member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild? You don't even know the history of your guild. Are you embarrassed to accuse me?" ?”

"That's better than you pretending to understand here and talking nonsense!" Regnar fought back fiercely.

"Kordak, it seems that you and your men have some problems. Hey, I have always been surprised, how can a mercenary captain like you who can't even manage his men survive to this day? A group of rabble You should become the excrement of monsters." A sinister voice came over.

Kordak turned around and saw a feminine-looking man with long hair looking at him with evil eyes.

"As you can see, Alvin, we are all very lucky people, and we haven't lost a single hair on our face until now. But you, in fact, I don't understand why a scum like you can still Living to this day, wouldn't someone jump out and kill you after you left the city?" Kordak replied coldly.

"Hehe, of course they tried, but unfortunately they failed. If I meet you in the wild, you have to be careful." Alvin left with a dark smile.

"Who is that guy?" Regnar frowned and stared at the feminine figure. This man and woman made him feel sick.

"Alvin, a ninth-level thief. He is a real scumbag. Half a year ago, he raped a young girl and I hit him. I stopped him, and we have had a feud ever since."

Kordak thought for a while and then said: "It is said that he seems to be a member of the assassination department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild."

"I didn't expect that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild would absorb such scum." Regnar shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

"Be careful. Although this guy's character is not very good, he still has some skills. No one who can join the Assassination Department is mediocre." Kordak reminded, then he patted Regner on the shoulder: "But in He doesn’t dare mess around with the Mercenary Alliance, so don’t think about it, just keep going, I’ll take you to register.”
