"I said, you have been looking sad all the way. Can you look better? You look like a ghost to me at this late night." Kordak looked at Regner who was looking at him with a crooked eyebrow and said. .

"I was pulled out by you for an extra hour for no reason. Why should I give you a good look?" Regnar had a bad attitude. He jumped up and down and shouted, shaking the kettle filled with pure stream water hanging around his neck. Boom, clang, clang.

"Don't I want you to exercise? Besides, Vera agrees." Kordak gave a reasonable explanation.

"Sister Renweila, I believe you want to train me, you..." Regnar curled his lips: "Don't think I didn't see it, when you saw my eyes glowing green before you left, I looked so bitter and resentful. Much uglier than I am now."

"Hey, forget it, I won't explain to you, my villain's heart will make me a gentleman." Kordak tried to stop there.

"It's exposed, your face is red, huh, I don't know what you're doing without sticking your butt out. Look at Brother Silenos, he is so honest and steady, how can he be the same as you? I don't understand Sister Vera. What on earth is he interested in you..." Regnar took advantage of the victory to pursue, but because of his excitement, he spilled the beans.

"Huh?!" Although Regner didn't finish what he said, Kordak guessed the whole sentence. He immediately became energetic, put his arm around Regner's shoulders and said affectionately: "So Are you saying that Vera is attracted to me?"

"I didn't say anything!" Regnar hurriedly explained. He would rather go to the Red Blood Bear for a duel, but he didn't have the courage to face Vera's anger.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Lei didn't say anything. I don't know anything." Kordak quickly cooperated knowingly. Then he said proudly: "Huh, let me tell you, how can this boy Silenos compare to Kordak, who is handsome, elegant, suave, bohemian and has a stubble?"

"Today I finally saw what it means to be shameless..." Regnar looked at Kordak's bear-like body, thick lips, wide nose and narrow eyes, and then compared it with Silenos's. With a sharp and heroic face, he sighed sincerely.

"Besides, Brother Silenus has never made any money with you, why are you so proud of yourself here?" Regnar also did not forget to fight for Silenus.

Kordak was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was indeed as Regnar said. Although Silenos was very good to Vera, he never admitted it personally. Maybe he had preconceived ideas.

In fact, Silenos is a silent and careful man. He is actually pretty good to everyone. Isn't he bad to Regnar? Is it bad for yourself? It's just that sometimes his carefulness is subconsciously regarded as a threat by himself, so he makes such a judgment.

"How are you? Are you speechless?" Regnar was about to say something more, but Kordak suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Don't make any noise. Do you smell something?" Kordak's expression was solemn and his voice was very low.

Regnar sniffed slightly, and he immediately recognized a faint smell. This smell was somewhat familiar to him, and he had smelled it in the past two days in his memory.

He thought about it quickly in his mind. It was not the smell of bread and barbecue, not the faint fragrance of Vera, nor the sweet smell of honey he had eaten before, but a smell that made people sick and disgusted. Yes, when the red bear's carotid artery was cut, the smell once hit his nostrils and almost made him vomit, because it was the smell of blood!

"Boss, boss..." Regnar's face instantly turned pale, because they were now only a little more than a hundred meters away from Vera's camp. If he said that the smell of blood had nothing to do with Vera and the others, even a fool would not believe it.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Let's figure out the situation first. Let's go to the hidden spot slowly." Kordak's face was also ugly. He forcibly overcame the urge to rush back to the camp to see what was going on and gave Regnar the order. The most reasonable order.

The two men crouched and moved gently between the tree trunks. Under the cover of the tree shade, the moonlight could not reveal their figures. The fire in the camp was getting closer and closer, and the smell of blood was getting stronger. Regnar's heart gradually became cold when he realized this.

Although she hoped that the camp would be safe and sound, Vera would frown and complain about their troubles when the two returned, while Silenos would look at them and smile silently.

But the strong smell of blood told Regnar that all this could only be a fantasy. He had already prepared for the worst in his heart, but even so, when he saw the hellish scene in the camp, his vision was still dark. Almost fainted.

There was no movement in the camp, the campfire had been completely kicked away, and one or two scattered logs were still struggling to emit firelight. There was a corpse that was ignited by sparks and burning slowly, exuding the aroma of barbecue, but Regnar could not arouse any appetite when he smelled this smell now, because the strong smell of blood almost covered up all the smells here.

In addition to a burning corpse, there are three or four corpses around the camp. They are not human beings. Those corpses are taller and stronger than humans, with yellow-green skin covered with thick hair. Regnar It didn't take much thinking to recognize that these were the corpses of several orcs.

"Silenos!" Kordak could no longer restrain his impulse and rushed out of the shadows because he saw Silenos who also fell to the ground.

Regnar rushed over, and when he saw Silenos, his head started to buzz with a buzzing sound.

Silenos's belly had been cut open by the rough stone ax of the orcs, and his intestines slowly flowed onto the grass, looking bloody and ferocious. But in addition to the wound on his stomach, he suffered a strong blunt blow to his left chest. A large amount of blood mixed with internal organs stained the ground red. It seemed that the sternum had been completely shattered.

"Regna! Where's the healing potion? Quick! Give me the healing potion!" Kordak almost roared.

Regnar immediately hurriedly took out a bottle of healing potion from his backpack and handed it to Kordak. Then he took out another bottle of healing potion, tremblingly, poured out a small amount, mixed it with the stimulant, and rubbed it on Silenos. on the temples.

Silenos woke up leisurely, his eyes were blurred and he was obviously on his deathbed.

Kordak's hands were covered in blood, and he poured a bottle of healing potion into Silenus's mouth for free.

After Silenus drank a bottle of healing potion, his eyes gradually became brighter. At this time, Kordak had already snatched the healing potion from Regnar's hand and was about to continue pouring it into Silenus.

"No need to waste it, Kordak." Silenos shook his head gently and said weakly: "My... heart has been broken by the orc's stone hammer."

"Stop talking, my brother, you won't die." Kordak touched Silenus' face with his hands covered in blood and soil, and his handsome face suddenly turned into a painted face.

Silenos' lips wriggled but did not make any sound, but suddenly he became excited, and he used his last strength to say: "Go and save Vera. She was taken away by a dozen orcs, in the east. , rescue her!"

"Vera is not dead? Where is she? What happened here?" Kordak asked a series of questions.

But at this time, Silenos seemed to have exhausted his last life force. He said intermittently in a weak voice: "We... the orcs attacked... Wei... take... Dong... to save her... okay..."

Silenos muttered the last words, and then there was no movement at all.

Kordak felt that his vitality was fading rapidly, but he desperately found that there was nothing he could do about it. The injuries in this situation could no longer be treated. Only the legendary priest's resurrection ability could save Sileno. Si, but it is still unknown whether there are legendary priests in the entire eastern continent, and meeting a legendary priest in this wilderness may be more miraculous than directly curing Silenos with a bottle of healing potion.

So he just hugged his comrade, his brother, and his savior tightly, and a tear slowly flowed out from the eyes of this hearty and strong man.

Regnar had already burst into tears at this moment. He and Silenos were the least familiar among the mercenary team, but that was just the reason for Silenus's withdrawn character.

You take care of this careful and silent man no less than Vera and Kordak on weekdays. He still remembers who took the trouble to change his dressing at the right time when he was injured by the Swift Shadow Dragon for the first time. He still clearly remembered who was quietly watching the patient guidance when he was sparring with Vera before the trip. He also clearly remembered who risked his life and climbed out of the tree when Kordak was knocked away by the red-blooded bear. Jumped down and fought to the death with the red-blooded bear.

Silenos is a very quiet person, so quiet that people often forget his existence, but he is quiet and at the same time plays an important role in your life. Until you really lose him, you will Realizing that there are so many things in life that are related to him.

Some people are like the handle of a tea cup. No one pays attention to it on weekdays, until one day the handle is broken and you have to hold the hot cup body with your hands. When your hands are turned red by the tea cup, you just Realize the importance of handles.

So Regnar cried, and he cried very sadly, because no one would patiently guide him anymore, no one would carry his luggage for him when he was tired, and no one would ever help him again. He treated his injuries and changed his medicine so patiently.

"May the brightest stars in the night sky guide your soul back to the land of bliss... my brother..." Kordak gently closed Silenus's eyes, and he forced himself to cheer up from his sadness. Because he still has things to do, and Vera is still waiting for him to save her!

Kordak stood up slowly, arranged his equipment, and picked up Silenos' bow and arrow. After confirming that everything was ready, he turned to Regnar and said: "Don't cry, Xiao Lei, let's Now we have to save Vera.”

Regnar cried even more miserably. As he cried, he said: "Boss... I... I... I don't dare to go... Wow..."
