Regnar looked at the young man who was leaning against the wall and cursing, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. When Kordak was about to deal with him, he hesitated for a moment and finally pulled him.
Although Regnar knew that the boy in front of him wanted to kill him for a bag of silver coins a few minutes ago, and Kordak was not an impolite person, he should be taught a lesson. But looking at the young man's fierce expression and sinister eyes, Regnar still couldn't bear it.
"Forget it... Anyway, I wasn't injured, and Sister Vera didn't lose her money." Regna shook his head and said.
Kordak turned his head and looked at Regnar silently for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you said so." Then he turned to the young man and said: "Boy, pick up the money for me. After you pick it up, you can You can go."
"Bah!" The young man spit out a mouthful of blood-streaked phlegm. He kicked the silver coins beside him and said through gritted teeth: "You want me to pick up the money for you? Pick it up yourself! Just wait, I will as long as you dare to let me go. I’ll trouble you again!”
"If you don't pick it up, you'll never leave today." Kordak didn't bother to get angry with the unreasonable little kid anymore, he shrugged and said casually.
After a brief stalemate, the boy finally chose to give in, bent down and started picking up silver coins one by one. Regner next to Kordak looked at the boy for a moment, then sighed and walked forward and bent down to help him pick it up.
The boy stiffened when he saw Regna helping him, and then he started picking up the money without saying a word. After all the silver coins were collected, the young man handed the money bag into Regnar's hand, then turned around silently and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Regnar called him again.
"What? Do you want to regret it?" The young man frowned and turned around.
"What's your name?" Regnar asked.
"none of your business?"
"Are you an orphan?" Regnar asked again.
"You don't have to worry about it!"
"It's really hard to talk to you." Regnar frowned: "Have you ever been to Shimmering Lake? For ten silver coins, you can be our guide. Take it there and you can come back."
"You want to take me to the wild and kill me?" The young man sneered: "No need! Just stay here, no one cares anyway."
Regnar didn't waste any time, opened Vera's pocket and threw ten silver coins in: "Here's the money for you. We'll set off tomorrow morning. Remember to wait for us at the door in the morning."
The young man took Regnar's money, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded: "Deal."
After the boy finished speaking, he turned around and left. Regnar looked back at the three companions with strange eyes and then said with a smile, "Is it okay if I arrange a guide?"
"Of course it's no problem, but..." Vera walked over with a smile, then picked up Regnar's head with her left arm, made a fist with her right hand and twisted it on his Tianling Cap. While twisting, she said: "Use my sister's money to hire a guide. ? Who asked you to touch my money? Are you tired of living? "
…
After the minor disturbance in the hotel passed, Regner and others went out again to replenish some dry food, fresh water and other daily necessities, and then it was already evening. After everyone had eaten, they all went back to their rooms to rest early. After all, they would spend the next few days running around and fighting. Now, if they can relax for a moment, they will be more comfortable.
The next day, the boy didn't break the appointment. Kordak and the four of them finished packing. When they got downstairs, they saw the boy waiting quietly with a broken bag on his back. When the young man saw the four of them, he didn't say much and just waited silently. After the four of them got ready, he walked out of the hotel with his head sullenly and began to lead the way without saying a word.
By noon, Regna and others had entered the Yege Forest. The young man had remained silent along the way and did not approach the mercenary team. He always led the way ten meters away from them. Kordak and others were too lazy to go up and talk to him because they still had grudges about the boy's performance yesterday.
And when it was lunch time, after Kordak ordered a rest, this guy also stopped, sat there and took out a piece of dirty black bread from his backpack and started chewing it.
Regnar looked at the boy not far away, then took a piece of roasted beef from Kordak and walked over.
"Eat this, we still have more than a day's journey, and we can't survive on black bread." Regnar handed the beef to the boy.
The young man looked at Regnar, and after confirming that Regnar had no ill intentions, he took the beef with his hands. The aroma of the meat instantly aroused his greed, and he began to eat without caring about the image. The upper lip is shiny.
Regnar sat down and looked at the devouring boy. He smiled and said, "My name is Regnar, the big guy over there is Kordak, the girl is called Vera, and the one who doesn't talk much is called Sai. Lenos.”
The boy paused, swallowed a mouthful of beef with difficulty, and then answered: "Jerhart."
"Where are your parents?" Regnar asked.
"Six months ago, my father went hunting and died in the forest. Later, my mother abandoned us and left." Gerhat answered.
"Us? Do you have other relatives?" Regnar took out a kettle and handed it to Gerhart.
Gerhart took it and drank it twice before replying: "There are two younger sisters. I am the eldest."
After speaking, Gerhard hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "I'm sorry yesterday. My sisters were still young. They were so hungry that they kept crying at home, so I would steal things. And... thank you for the silver coins. I want them." Otherwise, my sister might go hungry in the past two days."
"Hey, it's okay. I'm not injured anyway, but you're really cruel. You hit the fatal spot. If it's really strong, I'm afraid I'll be dead." Regnar gestured at his throat.
"I... At that time, I suddenly felt a sense of resentment towards you rich people, and then my mind got hot..." Gerhart said slightly apologetically.
"Okay, although you have fighting spirit, it's still hard to hurt me." Regnar patted Gerhard on the shoulder with some pride, and then said with a serious education: "Don't be so impulsive in the future, anytime." Remember, leave room for others and yourself.”
Regnar polished the experience gained from working in the slums for more than ten years into this nine-character mantra and told it to Gerhard, and then turned around and left with the mentality of hiding his merits and fame.
Kordak looked at the words "Brother has seen through the world of mortals" written on Regner's face as he walked over, curled his lips and cursed: "Pretending."
…
Late at night, Regnar looked around and made sure everything was normal before continuing to read by the dim light of the fire. Because he didn't contribute much in the battle, most of the vigil tasks these days were handed over to Regner.
There was a sound from the tent behind him. Regnar turned around and saw that it was Kordak.
"Is it time to change the guard?" Regnar asked.
"It's almost time. I'm almost asleep anyway. What are you looking at?" Kordak stretched his head to look curiously.
"Do you remember the test you gave me? This is the book that I was asked to take during the test." Regnar raised his eyebrows, and it turned out to be the book with the dark blue cover.
"Oh?" Kordak reached out and took the book with interest. Of course he knew that this book was given to Regnar by Alex. He had ignored it before, but now Regnar mentioned it to him. I'm really curious about what is written in this book.
But when he opened the book, he couldn't help but be stunned. Although he could clearly recognize that the words written in the book were all in Common Language, he could not understand the book anyway, as if the words written in it were all words he did not recognize. The same as the elven script.
"Can you understand this book?" Kordak asked.
"Yes, it's a common language. Humans all use this. How come I don't recognize it?" Regnar replied with a shrug.
Kordak thought for a while and then felt relieved. I am afraid that this book has been added to some kind of magical restriction. No one except Regnar himself can read the book, and the purpose must be to prevent the contents of the book from being leaked.
This is an encryption method created by the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Since they don't want others to know the contents of the book, Kordak will naturally not be an idiot enough to ask Regnar.
Regnar flipped through the book with relish. Although the book was only a little over one centimeter thick, each page was as thin as a feather, so the content recorded in the entire book was quite impressive.
In fact, this is not a book, but a notebook, a miscellaneous notebook that records a lot of skills and knowledge. As early as when he got this notebook back, Regnar was quite interested in the contents. , and after these days of study, Regnar has gained a lot of benefits from it.
For example, trap layout techniques, skills in cultivating and using fighting spirit, fighting body movements, sneaking skills, and so on.
Regnar took this notebook and read it more and more fascinated and surprised. Between the lines of the book, Regnar learned that the original owner of this notebook was a man named Villes. In the past few days, every time he looked at this notebook one more time, Regnar would admire this Villes even more.
"Boss, do you know that there is a man named Velez in the Eastern Continent? He should be an assassin, right?" Regnar asked.
"Villes." Kordak lowered his head in thought, then shook his head: "I don't know at all!"
"Tch, I just know you don't know." Regnar's face was filled with contempt.
"You know?" Kordak asked.
"I know." Regnar patted the note and said, "He is the author of this book."
“What’s wrong with this author?”
"What's wrong?" Regnar replied arrogantly: "The author of this book is definitely a strong man, and a lot of the content in it opened my eyes. Didn't Gerhard stab me in the throat yesterday? I dismantled his weapons. I learned the movements from this book. I also learned a lot about making traps and fighting skills. Otherwise, do you think I could improve so quickly just by practicing with you in Falling Star City? "
Kordak suddenly realized, no wonder Regner's progress these days can be described as a thousand miles a day.
In order to improve Regnar's combat experience, Kordak sent Vera, who was least good at close combat, to train with him. At the beginning, Regnar's performance could almost be said to be that he was being teased. Within two days, Regnar was able to compete equally with Vera, which surprised all three members of the team. But even with such an explanation, Kordak was still secretly frightened by Regner's learning ability.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Lei, I've always been curious about how you can still read? Haven't you been an orphan since you were a child?" Kordak calmly asked this question that he had always been curious about.
"Oh, this is what the old man taught me back then." Regnar replied.
