Regnar looked at Rego who had fallen to the ground in a daze. It was only now that he realized that this guy had also reached the point where he had run out of fuel.
"Did you win?" Regnar thought in confusion. He could vaguely hear the cheers from around him, but these had nothing to do with him. The only thing he cared about now was whether Annelotte had just been killed or not. Talking to yourself
"Teacher, did you hear Annie speak just now?" Regnar asked. He didn't know whether he had heard an auditory hallucination in his confused state of thinking, or whether it was really Annie who spoke to him just now.
"No." Garona said: "Although I have a spiritual connection with you, if she really uses the communication technique to talk to you, I won't be able to hear her."
Regnar raised his head with difficulty and looked towards the VIP area, where Annelotte had been seen watching games before, so he expected to find her there this time. But he gritted his teeth and observed for a long time, but still found nothing.
"Is it just an auditory hallucination..." Regnar's mood became a little gloomier again, but as he breathed a sigh of relief, severe pain also appeared in his head. The last scene Regnar saw was the staff running towards here carrying two stretchers.
Seeing Regna suddenly collapse, some of the audience cheered and some discussed. A mediocre-looking black-haired woman in the front row of the ordinary seats took a deep look at Regna who was lying on the ground, and then showed a bit of unbearability on her face.
…
"Unexpected ending, Rego was defeated!"
"Shocking news, the madman in the arena Rego was sniped by a strange boy!"
"Is Rego his limit? How strong is he?"
"Annelotte VS Ray, the duel between the two wizards of the Hawke Empire!"
"Besides the art of disguise, what other disguise does he have? The secret of Lei's life experience is revealed!"
"The personal disciple of the mysterious assassin Dark Elegy, the low-key and mysterious Lei!"
Vera looked at the newspapers of the past few days and couldn't help frowning. It has been more than a day since Regna defeated Rego, although his game was not the last game in the quarterfinals. But there is no doubt that Regner's game caused a great sensation. After all, Rego was recognized as the top three among the top eight, while Regna was considered cannon fodder before the game.
But now, the cannon fodder has defeated the top three. This result is as shocking as the national football team defeating Brazil. And it's not because of internal strife in Brazil, but because the national football team has suddenly become stronger.
After all, Rego's performance at that time was obvious to all, and his performance was no different from usual. But he was still defeated by Regnar, which made people a little curious about this little-known boy.
Therefore, in the past two days, newspapers in the empire have basically made Regnar's matter the front page headline. Moreover, because of the disguise, people seemed to be interested in Regnar's hidden secrets.
Many newspapers began to expose (or lie about) Regnar's secrets. For example, he is actually a nobleman who needs to remain anonymous, and he is actually a representative sent by the Imperial Military Intelligence Service. The most exaggerated one was the "Melindel Daily". This unscrupulous newspaper actually said that Regnar was a disciple of Dark Elegy.
Although it is baseless nonsense, the nonsense of "Melindel Daily" unexpectedly connects two unrelated characters. The speaker didn't mean it, the listener meant it, but Vera couldn't guarantee that no one else would think of it.
She didn't know why Regna remained anonymous in another continent, but since Regna did it, he would naturally have his reasons. So when she saw the news, Vera was very nervous, but in order to avoid attracting attention, she ultimately did not jump out to clarify anything. The media will always make things darker and darker. The best way to calm things down is to remain silent.
Of course, Goethe's secret help was indispensable. Although this middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied with Regner for being so irresponsible as the boss, since Villes ordered him to be loyal to this young man, he must fulfill his duties. Therefore, he contacted the newspaper through his own connections, and then used misleading methods to draw people's attention away from Dark Elegy.
Three or four days later, Kordak finally regained consciousness. But because he was too seriously injured, his mind was never fully clear, and it seemed that it would take some time for him to recover.
Two days later, Regnar also woke up. The injuries on his body were much lighter than Kordak's, and his head had returned to its original shape under the treatment of the senior priest, and even his teeth had grown out. These cosmetic repairs cost Vera one thousand gold coins. Including other healing expenses, Regnar's injury cost only a few hundred gold coins less than Kordak's.
It has to be said that Vera, a shopaholic in the past, has now learned to budget carefully. Inspired by Kordak's experience, Vera collected all the money of several people on the eve of Regnar's game and went to the underground casino to buy Regnar to win. Due to the huge disparity in strength, Regner's odds in this match have reached 20 to 1. After paying Kordak's medical expenses, their team originally only had three hundred gold coins left, but now it has doubled twenty times, and it has become six thousand gold coins in an instant.
Even Vera, who had always been opposed to gambling, couldn't help but feel itchy in front of this terrible rate of making money.
…
Regnar looked in the mirror. Although the internal injuries on his head were not healed, at least his basic appearance had been restored.
"It's best not to do any strenuous exercise recently." The priest told Regnar after performing today's healing technique.
But Regnar didn't pay attention to the pastor's words at all. He touched his face, and then a look of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Pastor, can you recover all the scars?"
The priest said proudly: "That is natural. We are bathed in the glory of the great Pelor and use divine magic to cure the sufferings of the world. With Pelor's great divine power, one or two scars are naturally a trivial matter."
"That, that." Regnar stood up excitedly. Because he was not clear-headed, he still walked a little unsteadily. This guy took a lot of effort to walk up to Irene, then pointed at her and said, "Can you help her restore her appearance? And her fingers!"
The priest looked at Eileen. This girl caught his attention when he first treated Regnar because she looked even more ferocious and uglier than Regnar at that time. He asked: "I wonder how long she has been injured?"
"The injury on the hand was from two months ago, and the injury on the face... is about ten years old." Regnar said.
"Hmm..." The priest thought about it for a moment, and then said: "I can heal the injury on my hand, but the magic to perform the effect of bone renewal is very expensive, and the materials are also relatively expensive. You must give me one thousand gold coins for each finger. reward.”
Irene turned pale with fright when she heard the price. She quickly grabbed Regnar and told him not to mention it again. But Regnar completely ignored Irene's obstruction, and even fiercely threw away the elf girl's hand.
"No problem!" Regnar answered without hesitation. As long as he could cure Irene, money was a trivial matter to him. At worst, he can just steal somewhere. Anyway, with his current strength, it is still very easy to rob some small nobles.
"As for her face..." The pastor shook his head: "I can't do anything."
"Why?" Regnar asked anxiously: "Didn't you say that all scars can be removed? Is there anything that the great Sun God Peiro can't do?"
"Don't question God's power!" The pastor's tone was unprecedentedly serious: "There is no doubt about God's power!"
"I'm sorry, I was too excited. Please forgive me for being rude." Regnar quickly apologized.
"God will also forgive your ignorance." The pastor's tone slowed down, and he continued: "It's not that God can't do it, it's just that I can't do it."
"???" Regnar didn't understand.
The pastor pointed at Irene's face, and then explained: "If the scars were just a few months ago, or even a year ago, I can remove them, but she can't, because these scars have been too long, these scars It has become a part of her body. So, I have no choice. If I really want to use divine magic to treat her, I think only a legendary priest can do it."
"..." Regnar was silent for a long time, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "I don't know..."
"No." The priest knew what he was going to ask: "As far as I know, there is no legendary priest in Merindl. But..."
"But what?" When the priest bluntly said that there was no legendary priest, Regner's heart almost completely dropped, but the priest's last turning word gave him hope again.
"But there are other ways to treat her face besides divine magic." The priest deliberately made a mistake.
Regnar bowed respectfully, and then said, "Please enlighten me."
"A mage can do it, too." The priest could see that the boy was really concerned about the girl's injury, so he didn't hide it anymore. There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing anyway.
"Mage?" Regnar was stunned. When he heard this word, the ice blue figure flashed in his mind.
"Yes." The priest said: "I was a low-level mage before converting to Pelor, so I still have some understanding of spells. As far as I know, the mage's ninth-level spell wish can achieve the same effect. . That is a very magical spell. Theoretically, anything can be realized through the wish spell."
"Level 9 spell..." Regnar smiled bitterly. Because of his long-term relationship with Annelotte, he had some understanding of the relationship between spell level and mage level.
To put it simply, if a mage wants to cast a spell normally, his level must be no less than twice the level of the spell and then minus one level. In other words, third-level spells require at least a fifth-level mage to cast, seventh-level spells require at least a thirteenth-level mage, and ninth-level spells... require at least a seventeenth-level high-level mage to cast.
There is no need to elaborate too much on how scarce the mage profession is. Low-level magic apprentices may be no less rare than low-level warriors. But from level five onwards, the number of magicians begins to become scarce. The number of mages who can break through the low level and enter the middle level is only about one percent of the low level mages, and the probability of being able to break through the middle level and enter the high level is probably not much smaller than this number. It can be said that although high-level mages are not as scarce as those with attribute abilities, according to statistics, there is only one high-level mage for every two million people in the human race, and the population of the entire Hawke Empire is only 30 to 40 million. Based on this calculation At the end of the day, the number of high-level mages in the entire empire was only a dozen.
Moreover, even if Merindl has a high-level mage, has his level reached level 17? Even if he reaches level seventeen, will he be able to cast a wish spell? You must know that it is impossible for a mage to learn all the spells, and learning which high-level spells is a very important thing for a mage. Taking a step back, even if he knew the wish-making technique, how much would it cost Regner to ask him to do it
A high-level mage is no better than a high-level priest. Maybe a high-level priest will be tempted by thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins. But high-level mages don't. Just kidding, some high-level mages need thousands of gold coins for even one casting material. Do they care about money? Therefore, although there are many more high-level mages than legendary priests, there still seems to be no one who can really help Regnar solve the problem.
But no matter what, this could be regarded as a way out. Regnar thanked the priest again, and then began to discuss the issue of restoring Irene's fingers. Finally, they agreed to come back for treatment tomorrow. The high-level priest had already performed several high-level magical spells to treat Regnar. Not only was his divine power unable to keep up, but he also had not prepared the magical materials needed to treat Irene's fingers.
