The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 176: Vincent and Goethe

Views:

In the next few days, Regnar became obviously more diligent. In fact, he didn't do this because Garona's scolding made him become angry and try to win the championship in this competition.

In the final analysis, it was because Regnar understood his own weakness because of this reprimand. Although for ordinary people, Regnar is already so powerful that they cannot look up to him, but Regnar knows that such power is far from enough for him to gain a complete foothold in this world. If he wants to protect himself and those around him, he must become stronger.

This sense of crisis could even be said to have no reason, but Regner's feeling about it became increasingly clear. He always had a vague feeling that many very complicated things would happen in the future. He originally wanted to rely on his attributes and abilities to solve everything. However, after being scolded by his teacher, Regnar also understood the misunderstanding of his thinking, so he also began to train himself and made up his mind. Never use attribute abilities unless absolutely necessary.

The day is getting closer day by day. In the past few days, Regnar always followed Kordak and Vera to the nearby martial arts gym for training. These places are specially set up for those who have fighting spirit or magical power, providing them with the equipment they need for training. Of course, they will also open some training classes to train some newcomers for a fee, but this is only for combat professionals. , there is no need to learn magic-related knowledge here.

"Beautiful Vera, it is really our fate to meet you again." Vincent said.

"It's you again. Wasn't it enough that you were beaten last time? Do you still want to fight with me?" Kordak said coldly. This guy saw Vera during training two days ago, although he has now entered It's autumn, but the slightly thick clothes still can't block Vera's beautiful figure. Next, the idiot naturally ignored the mighty Kordak beside Vera and began to pester her shamelessly.

This Vincent is a fourteenth-level warrior. Such strength is considered quite powerful in the Chino continent. It was precisely because of this that Vincent came so unscrupulously to strike up a conversation. In his eyes, such strength could go sideways even in Merinder.

So, Vincent kicked the iron plate. Although Kordak is one level behind Vincent in terms of level, this sturdy man's physical fitness is much better than Vincent's. At the same time, although Kordak is young, he is also an old mercenary who has been fighting for ten years. In terms of combat experience, he has more than twice as much experience as Vincent

So, naturally, two men started fighting over a woman, and Kordak ended up slightly better than Vincent—Vincent had a swollen eye, while Kordak suffered some minor injuries to his chest. But fortunately, the two of them still know how to behave. This is the capital of the Hawke Empire after all. If there is a big fuss here, the two of them may be unable to eat and walk away. So they returned to fight, but they fought in a separate training ground in the martial arts gym.

After suffering a small loss, Vincent went home to recuperate for a few days. It seemed that his injury was healed today, so Vincent came to the martial arts gym to pester Vera again. In this regard, even Kordak somewhat admired this guy's persistence.

"No, the game is about to start. I won't waste my energy on this kind of thing." Vincent shook his head. He knew that the three people in front of him were also here to participate in the game.

"Then what are you doing here?" Kordak asked coldly.

"I just came to see your little brother." Vincent sneered and said: "I think you have been training for so long and you still don't know the next group assignment? Then I am very honored to inform you that I and I Your friend, Lei, has been assigned to the third group. Guess, will there be any accidents in this first melee? You know, a level nine assassin is very dangerous in such a chaotic situation. .”

"What do you mean..." Kordak asked hesitantly: "You want to target Xiao Lei in the game?"

"I have never said such a thing, I just came here to remind you." Vincent smiled sinisterly and shook his head. He knew that he was still a little behind Kordak, so he came here just to provoke Kordak, so that this guy couldn't help but attack him in public. In this way, Kordak would be locked up by the Public Security Department for a few days. If he dared to take action against the Public Security Department, that would be great.

But Kordak's reaction was completely beyond Vincent's expectations. The strong man nodded with a strange expression, and then said lightly: "Oh..."

"What did you say?" Vincent felt like he didn't hear clearly.

"I said." Kordak repeated: "Oh..."

"What's your reaction?!" Vincent had a ghostly expression on his face. He pointed at Regnar and said angrily: "Isn't he your brother? Isn't he your best brother?"

"Yes." Kordak nodded seriously.

"Then I will target him during the competition. Aren't you worried? Let me tell you, if I attack him harshly, this guy will probably not survive! Aren't you worried?" Vincent looked at an idiot. Looking at Kordak, I couldn't understand why this guy was so calm.

Kordak and Regnar looked at each other, and then he understood Regnar's eyes. What he meant was still not to expose his strength easily.

Therefore, Kordak could only use his poorest acting skills to show a worried expression, and then said: "I... am very worried!"

"You're worried about a big-headed guy! Do you want him to quit?"

"No, he wants to fight himself, I won't stop him!"

"Then you're not worried about him at all?"

"I'm really worried." Kordak frowned and forced a worried expression.

"What the hell!" Vincent cursed. He really couldn't understand what was going on with Kordak. It was obvious that his little brother was going to be beaten up by him in front of everyone, and this kid Erdak looked indifferent? He suddenly felt that going against such an idiot was a form of contempt for his own intelligence.

But he didn't know that the reason why Kordak looked so indifferent was because he wasn't worried about Regner's safety at all. He has been secretly training with Regnar these past two days, so he is very aware of Regnar's strength.

Just kidding, this guy can still hold down Kordak even if he doesn't use the Body of Darkness. If he really pisses this guy off, he can use the Body of Darkness? Hehe, if you can beat him, I, Kordak, would rather not poop for a month!

"Well, Vincent, it just so happens that I am also in the third group. As a friend of Mr. Kordak, I will not let you hurt Lei easily." Another tall and handsome middle-aged man left. come over. Although he is not as majestic as Kordak, his figure is very well-proportioned, coupled with the mature temperament he reveals inadvertently, all of which together make him a very attractive mature man.

"Brother Goethe!" Kordak greeted with a smile. This Goethe was also a new person he met in the martial arts school. Compared with Vincent, this Goethe was very likable. Kordak and the others had a good relationship with him, and they had a drink with him two days ago.

"Mr. Goethe." Regnar also smiled and nodded.

"Don't be afraid, young man!" Goethe said with a smile: "With me protecting you, Vincent can't do anything to you."

"Thank you Mr. Goethe." Regner pretended to be very surprised. He also knew the strength of Goethe. A fourteenth-level warrior, he was slightly better than Kordak, but if he fought with Regner, I'm afraid it will be a little inferior. But now, he didn't want to reveal his strength too much, so since Goethe jumped out as a shield, he was naturally happy to agree with him. Besides, this middle-aged person is pretty good.

It is worth mentioning that Goethe himself was the chief instructor of this martial arts school. Therefore, the skills he learned were completely different from those learned by Kordak and Regnar. Because he was only the instructor, Goethe's moves were all based on subduing his opponents, but Kordak and Regnar were different. They were mercenaries, and all they learned were killing techniques.

In other words, in an actual life-and-death battle, Goethe would most likely not be Kordak's opponent. However, in such a competition that did not allow intentional killing, Goethe took a big advantage invisibly.

"Mr. Goethe, do you really want to go against me, Vincent? You know, I still have a few good friends in the third group. You may be better than me, but how many people like me can you deal with?" People?" Vincent said coldly.

Goethe smiled slightly, patted Regner on the shoulder, and then said to Vincent: "I am in love with this young man, so I am willing to go against you. Besides, even you can contact a few people in the third group. An ally, can’t I?”

The expression on Vincent's face changed. He knew that Goethe was considered a local snake here. If it was really about his connections, he really couldn't compare to this middle-aged man. Therefore, he did not dare to offend Goethe severely at this time. Vincent glared at Kordak and Goethe, then glanced at Vera with a greedy gaze, and then turned around and left with a cold snort.

"Are you worried?" Goethe asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Regnar pretended to be scared and said, "Vincent is very strong."

"Don't worry, young man, you will be fine as long as I am by your side." Goethe patted Regner on the shoulder again, and then said to Kordak: "Am I right? Brother Kordak ?”

"Of course!" Kordak smiled and nodded.

"Okay, the game won't start until two days later. If we don't have anything to do tonight, let's go have a few more drinks." Goethe added with a smile: "This time I'm treating you!"
