In Thorn Town, Emily's Tavern is open at night as usual.
"Have you heard? A big event happened in Kent City a few days ago." A guest said drunkenly after taking a sip of ale.
"Of course I know. Wasn't there just a large-scale armed fight? I heard that the guards in Kent City couldn't suppress it in those days." The other guy was also tongue-tied when he spoke.
"You know an egg!" The first person looked disdainful: "Do you know why you are fighting?"
"Grab the territory! Why else? Huh! Those black forces are so arrogant now that they dare to be so blatant in order to seize the territory!" the second person yelled.
The first person quickly went up and covered his mouth: "Have you gone crazy after drinking? There must be a few gangsters here, be careful to offend them!"
The man was a little more awake. He looked around, and after making sure no one noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, it's not just about grabbing territory." The first person lowered his voice and continued: "Dark Elegy, have you heard of it?"
"The assassin who single-handedly brought the Blood Hand Brotherhood to chaos?"
"That's him." The first person nodded: "The reason why Kent City is in chaos this time is because of him."
"oh?"
"Did you know?" The first person looked around pretending to be mysterious, and then said quietly: "Dark Elegy teamed up with Black Jack to kill Taiwen, the boss of the Blood Hand Brotherhood, on the outskirts of Kent City."
"Ouch!"
"It's not just Taiwen." The man continued: "The top brass of the Blood Hand Brotherhood in Kent City were almost blamed. In fact, before the turmoil broke out in Kent City, Black Jack and Taiwen had already had a fight in the suburbs."
"The results of it?"
"The result was that Black Jack won. He defeated Taiwen with the help of Dark Elegy, and then he began to take over the Blood Hand Brotherhood's foundation in Kent City. The turmoil that occurred later was because of this."
"I see..." The man was thoughtful, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "How do you know about this?"
"I have a nephew who followed Black Jack. He is a fourth-level warrior. He was there when Taiwen was killed!"
"Then he saw Dark Elegy? What does it look like?"
"It is said to be a woman, in her twenties, and very sexy!" said the first person.
"Tch! Bragging!" The second person obviously didn't believe it: "How did I hear that Dark Elegy is a forty-year-old middle-aged man?"
"You know what the hell, is that Dark Elegy easy to understand?"
"You know what the heck, Dark Elegy's disguise can also lead to transsexuals?"
“*&@#￥… &*”
"@(!￥…("
Vera took two glasses of beer from the bar and put them on the table and said: "As I walked around, I found that many people were discussing what happened the previous day. Xiao Lei became famous this time... "
"It's not Xiao Lei who is famous." Kordak smiled: "It's Dark Elegy that is famous. No one knows the true identity of Dark Elegy except a few of us."
"Yes." Vera recalled that year.
At that time, Regnar proudly told them that he had been given the title of "Dark Elegy" by a very powerful person. At that time, Vera, Kordak, and even Annelotte were ridiculing him for having such a middle school title. Then Regnar, whose self-esteem was frustrated, blushed and shouted that he would make this title resound to the world in the future.
Two years have passed, and in the Lance continent, this title has entered people's ears with the lives of two high-level mages. But in the Chino continent, Regnar is still unknown. But Vera didn't expect that Regnar would spread his name throughout the province of Semrela in just half a month. Judging from this situation, I'm afraid it won't be long before this name will spread throughout the province. Hawke's Empire.
Vera was thinking about it and was suddenly stunned. She turned to Kordak and said, "I think there are two other people who may know Regnar's identity."
"Emily and Hans, the tavern proprietress?" Kordak said. At that time, Regnar once made bold words in the tavern to destroy the Blood Hand Brotherhood, and then Regnar disappeared alone. Not long after, the Blood Hand Brotherhood really collapsed under a man who claimed to be Dark Elegy. human hands. I'm afraid even an idiot can see some clues from these coincidences.
"Yes." Vera nodded.
"I don't think we need to worry too much about Hans. This boss lady..." Kordak frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, let's wait until Xiao Lei comes back to decide this matter."
…
"I didn't expect that brother Regnar was also a crybaby when he was a child!" Inelise said with a smile.
"Yes! Brother Regna loved to cry when he was a child, but he always pretended to be strong in front of me. A few times I suddenly showed up and found him crying, but he quickly wiped away his tears every time. . Yi Ni, you know? It’s so funny how he looks so proud while crying!" Irene said with a smile. Inelise often came to her to chat and play in the past two days, and Irene also liked this sunny and lively little girl.
"Hey, Eileen, when did you learn to speak ill of others behind their backs?" Regnar walked into the house at some point.
"Brother Regnar!" Inelise shouted in surprise, and she threw herself directly into Regnar's arms.
"Okay, okay." Regnar patted Inelise's little head.
The half-elf was also very surprised by Regnar's return. She originally took two steps forward, but when she saw Inelise's enthusiasm, she inexplicably stopped her steps and just looked at Regnar with a smile. .
"You're back." Erin said with a smile.
"Back." Regnar also smiled at Irene: "Is your injury healed?"
"Much better." Erin nodded.
The atmosphere of the scene became awkward in an instant. Regnar wanted to say something more to Irene, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that he had nothing to say. On the side, Inelise also stared at him with big eyes. Being stared at by two girls, one beautiful and one ugly, at the same time, he suddenly felt that the current scene was not very good.
But fortunately Kordak came to the rescue. This guy opened the door and revealed a big honest head and said: "Boy, your women have seen it too, so come over. We still have something to discuss."
Erin's face turned red and she lowered her head silently.
"Uncle, what are you talking about! You are his woman!" Inelise also blushed, but she was obviously bolder than Irene, so she retorted.
Kordak shrugged nonchalantly and pulled his head back.
"Okay, I'll go over and discuss something with the boss, and I'll come back to see you later." Regna also ran away quickly.
…
"Where is Uncle Hans?" Regnar asked as soon as he entered Kordak's room. He had not seen Hans since he came back.
"Let's go." Kordak said casually.
"Oh." Regnar was not surprised. From Hans' previous advice to Regnar, it could be seen that he was still very afraid of the Blood Hand Brotherhood. However, Regnar refused to listen to his dissuasion and insisted on looking for trouble with them. Hans was naturally afraid of getting into trouble. After all, he and Regnar had only known each other for less than a month, and it was just a favor. When faced with such a major matter that affected his family and life, it was reasonable for Hans to want to leave as soon as possible without taking a trip into this muddy water. among.
"Is the medicine I gave you effective?"
Kordak nodded: "Vera and I ran out during the full moon two days ago. As a result, the two of us blew in the wind for a long time in the wilderness and nothing happened. Yes, you gave it to me. The medicine does work.”
"That's good. So, do you have any clues about that matter?" Regner asked the third question.
"Yes." Kordak said: "This matter is actually not difficult to find out. I have asked around from the neighbors, and then asked a few gangsters, and the matter is basically clear."
"What was the cause of death?" Regnar asked. Although he had never met Cook, since he helped Irene escape and saved her life, Regnar could never let him go. Such a death is unclear. This is Regnar's principle. Even if Cook dies, he will still do something to repay him.
"Poisoning." Kordak spread his hands: "This matter is actually not complicated. Mr. Cook has not paid protection fees to the forces in the town in the past few years, and the reason why nothing happened before was because of this The previous boss in the town had been favored by Mr. Cook. But that guy was killed by the current boss a few years ago. The new boss was a ruthless master. When he saw that Cook did not pay the protection fee, he poisoned him. Kill him."
"What about the method? He couldn't have tied Cook up and forced him to drink the poison, right? I remember that he died after drinking," Regner said.
"It's the boss lady..." Kordak sighed: "She was the one who poisoned her. She might have been threatened by the boss, or she might have wanted to monopolize Mr. Cook's tavern. I'm not sure about this. .”
"..." Regnar thought silently for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, thank you, boss."
