"The Barbarian King... The Barbarian King..." Ralphin's stubby fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. He thought for a while and then asked Regnar: "Is there any way for the Military Intelligence Office to assassinate this Barbarian King?"
"Assassination?" Regnar was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head with a strange expression: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult. According to the intelligence, the strength of the Barbarian King should not be underestimated. Although he is young, he already has eighteen Super strength. And... "
"And what?" Larvin asked.
"And..." Regnar said with some complexity: "He is still an attribute ability user. He relied on his attribute ability to defeat the previous generation of barbarian kings..."
"A person with attribute abilities?" Larvin frowned his thick golden eyebrows: "I remember that in the last martial arts tournament, a barbarian with attribute abilities participated. How come this generation of barbarian kings also has attribute abilities? What about the Ice and Snow Plateau? The population is only over 200,000, so how could there be two attribute ability users at the same time?"
"No, Your Majesty..." Regnar smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, this generation of barbarian king is the same barbarian who participated in the last martial arts tournament... his name is Lei Ge."
"What did you say?!" Larvin was shocked after hearing this. He had also seen the information about the current Barbarian King before, and he thought that name was familiar. It was only now that he realized that this guy was actually the same as the one who participated in the martial arts tournament before. Is that barbarian the same person
"What's going on?" Larvin was a little puzzled: "Being able to participate in the martial arts tournament means that his strength is at least below the high level, right? But how long has it been? Why did he suddenly become A level 18 high-level warrior?"
"We have also investigated this matter." Regnar explained: "This seems to be a kind of barbarian witchcraft. It can suppress the level of the subject for a long time, but it does not affect the inner growth of the subject. When the time is right, as long as the witchcraft is lifted, you will be able to gain the power you deserve."
"It sounds like a seal." Alfred nodded.
"That's right." Regnar also agreed with Alfred's statement.
"What's the benefit of doing this?" Andrew was a little confused.
"From the perspective of strength growth, there is no benefit." Regnar replied: "But the reason why Rego did this is because of the previous generation of barbarian kings."
"Why?"
"As we said before, whenever a new Barbarian King appears, the fate of the previous Barbarian King will not be very good." Regnar spread his hands: "So every Barbarian King will be afraid that someone in his tribe can surpass him. And this was particularly evident in the previous Barbarian King. Through the power of the Barbarian King, he suppressed many powerful people in the clan who might have surpassed him."
"In order to prevent himself from being persecuted by the previous Barbarian King, the current Barbarian King used this kind of witchcraft to hide his strength. After confirming that he had power that surpassed the previous Barbarian King, he lifted the ban on witchcraft and challenged him?" Larvin guessed.
"That's right." Regnar nodded, and then said: "Although there are still some strange things about this matter, this is the only information we have investigated so far."
"What's weird? What's weird?" Alfred didn't miss any detail.
"It's not a big deal." Regnar shrugged nonchalantly: "It's just that this witchcraft seems to be the latest creation. So far, only Rego has endured this witchcraft, but he is a warrior. But it’s not a witch doctor. And until now, we haven’t found out who the witch doctor was who created this witchcraft.”
"I see." Alfred nodded. This was really not a big deal, so he didn't particularly care.
"So, is there no way to deal with this barbarian king?" Larvin brought the topic back to the most critical issue at present, how to kill this barbarian king and cause unrest among the barbarians.
"Do we have to fight him to the death?" Regnar couldn't help but lamented in his heart.
In fact, to be honest, Regner was indeed very hostile to Regal at the beginning. Because this guy beat Kordak so badly in the fighting arena. But later, after discovering the cultural differences between the barbarians and himself, and Rego finally half-heartedly admitting defeat. Regnar's view of this big man with bad eyes has changed a lot. Although he can't be called a friend, at least he no longer gets into fights as soon as they meet.
But now he and the others were sitting at a table, discussing how to plot and kill Rego, which made Regnar feel quite complicated.
"Are you a little soft-hearted?" Garona asked when she saw Regna was so silent at this time.
"One thing..." Facing Garona, who knew him best, Regnar didn't intend to hide anything. He replied: "Then Rego... I don't think he is a bad person, and yet I am here with others. Discussing how to kill him is a bit..."
"..." Garona was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "You are still a child..."
"Ah?!" Regnar couldn't help but be stunned. What did the teacher mean by this? I am already eighteen years old after all, right? If he was the son of a noble, I'm afraid all the illegitimate children would be running around now, right? Even if I am a commoner, I should at least find a mother-in-law now, and live a good life with my wife and children on the bed, right? Why do you still call me a child
"I didn't mean your age." Garona seemed to have guessed Regnar's thoughts. She said calmly: "I was referring to your soft-hearted and womanly thoughts."
"..." Regnar was speechless.
"Let me ask you, if Rego was standing in front of you at this moment, defenseless against you, would you have the courage to sneak up on him and kill him?" Garona asked.
"I... I don't know..." Regnar answered uncertainly.
"Then if he puts the knife across little Yi Ni's neck now and is ready to kill her at any time, will you take action?" Garona then asked.
"If I am sure that I can kill Rego without hurting Ini, I will take action without hesitation." Regner answered very simply this time.
"That's it." Garona said: "It seems that you can at least distinguish the priorities of things."
"kindness?"
"It's good that you can understand the priorities of things and determine how important someone is in your heart." Garona said.
"But Rego didn't put the knife on anyone's neck." Regna was a little dumbfounded.
"But he is the current Barbarian King." Garona said with a sudden flash of blood: "And he is planning to gather barbarian warriors to go south. He will lead his people to the Hawke Empire to burn, kill and plunder. Do you have to wait until those barbarians fight? When we enter Merindel, can we be ruthless when we arrest Yi Ni?"
"I… "
"Xiao Lei, although you are an assassin, you are not a person with despicable thoughts and unscrupulous actions. Therefore, many times, you passively follow the rhythm of others." Garona said helplessly: "I don't It’s not that this kind of personality is bad. If you are just an ordinary person, this kind of personality may make you suffer a little, but you will also gain true friendship from some people. But... you entered the human world by mistake. The upper level, in this world full of intrigues, betrayal and deceit. I am sure that a character like yours will never survive in this world."
"But haven't I also been in the position of Director of Military Intelligence for more than half a year?" Regner couldn't help but argue.
"Of course there is your own efforts in this." Garona replied: "But more of it is the help from others. Anne, Malloryt, Alex, and even Kordak, Alexander, and Wei from far away La and Irene. Without their protection, how long do you think you can last in a place like this?"
For some reason, Garona's rhetorical question severely stimulated Regnar's pride. He came to the Military Intelligence Office obviously to protect the people around him. Why did they end up protecting Regnar when they arrived at Garona's place? It sounds like the person next to you is taking care of an arrogant, willful and ignorant child. This statement made Regnar, who felt he had matured, quite disgusted.
"Perhaps they do take a lot of care of me, but I myself am constantly giving and I am constantly working hard!" Regnar argued with a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Then try your best to show me now!" Garona showed no sign of weakness: "If you can't even attack people like Rego, how can you ensure that you protect the people around you? I clearly told you You, he is a potential threat to you. If you really want to continue this power game, then you should show your due value now! There are people who have no value and no interests. It’s impossible to survive for a long time in this kind of game!”
"..." Regnar paused, and then replied seriously: "Understood! Then I will prove my worth! If this is what must be done to protect them, whether it is killing Rego, or I will not hesitate to kill the entire barbarian tribe, even if it means turning me into the most ferocious ghost in the world!"
Garona was stunned when she heard Regnar's answer. According to her original intention, she just wanted Regnar to understand her shortcoming of being soft-hearted. But looking at Regner's answer, it seems that he was overly excited, right? She naturally didn't want Regnar to remain such a soft-hearted person, but if he turned into a despicable villain who would do anything to achieve his goals, it would not be Garona's original intention.
In fact, this is the reason why this result occurs. On the one hand, it was because Garona ignored Regnar's self-esteem and rebellious mentality as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. On the other hand, she was satisfied that she underestimated the importance Regnar attached to Annelotte and others.
Regnar didn't lie. If it was for other reasons, it would be fine, but if someone dared to hurt someone he valued. Then he doesn't mind using any means to punish or retaliate against those who have offended him. And since Garona said that being ruthless was necessary to protect Annelotte, then Regnar wouldn't mind making some changes to himself.
"Could it be that the excitement is a little too much?" Garona couldn't help but think to herself: "Well, let's let him really establish himself in this kind of life-threatening game... We will consider it later... But then again, this teacher It’s really hard work...”
