"Huh?" Alex couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard Regnar's tone. He was a little surprised and said, "Why do I feel like you're not particularly angry about this?"
"Rego and I are just casual acquaintances. Although I don't want to kill him, I don't particularly care if he dies in my hands." Regnar shrugged: "Anyway, he was at the time of the duel. He also has thoughts of killing me. What? Uncle, do you think you will be satisfied if I go to settle accounts with you now?"
"Of course not!" Alex quickly waved his hand, but he didn't know that Regnar had relaxed a lot under Garona's guidance.
"Rego and I are not even friends, we can only be called acquaintances, so I don't particularly care about killing him." Regnar narrowed his eyes, and then said solemnly: "But I hate being treated like this. The feeling of a gun user. So, I don’t want this kind of thing to happen again. Also, I can bear it if you plot against me, but if you implicate the boss or Annie, uncle, don’t blame me for being rude, I will use I will use all my means to kill you!"
"Yes... really..." Alex's facial muscles twitched suddenly, and he was now more determined to stay away from Regnar.
"Okay, that's it. So, now tell me why you want to kill him!" Regnar sighed. He was actually very annoyed with Alex's behavior because it made him There is a feeling of being treated as an idiot by others. But he can't drive Alex away or kill him just because of this, right? You know, Regnar still counts on him to help him deal with the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department!
"Do you still remember our original purpose of coming to the Ice and Snow Plains?" Alex straightened his thoughts and then asked.
"Of course, stop the barbarians from going south, no matter what method you use." Regnar replied, and he continued: "But, didn't I remember you said that? Just assassinating the barbarian king can only stop the barbarians in the short term. In order to To solve this problem once and for all, His Majesty finally put the hope of settlement in negotiations. That's why there was such a thing as ceding land and dueling."
"That's right." Alex nodded: "I didn't lie to you about this. Your Majesty really hopes that the barbarians can settle down by paying the price of a province's land."
"Then since the two of us have reached an agreement, why do we still set up a trap to kill Rego?" Regnar asked.
"Because His Majesty wants greater profits." Alex shrugged: "Our empire has sacrificed the land of a province. If we can only get the support of a small part of the barbarians, and also lay a foundation for the growth of the race in the north, then If it is the root of the problem, this deal will not be worthwhile no matter how you think about it.”
"So you want Lei Ge to die." Regnar roughly understood: "Lei Ge is the king of the barbarians. He not only has extremely strong personal force, but also has a very long-term vision. You are worried that once Lei Ge is let Now that Ge has established a foothold in the Semrela Province, the barbarians will be even more difficult to deal with in the future, right?"
"That's it." Alex nodded.
"But how do you guarantee that they will be obedient after Rego is dead? Also, we have killed their king, aren't you afraid that these barbarians will directly fight us to the death?" Regnar asked next.
"Since we have deposed one of their kings, we will naturally give him another king, a very well-behaved and obedient king." Alex said with a smile: "In fact, we have internal support within the barbarian tribe."
"Oh?" Regnar was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry." Alex saluted again, and then said: "Long before you took over the Military Intelligence Office, I had already anticipated the movements of the barbarians. So, at that time, I was on the barbarian side. A very secret informant was developed internally. His name is Sam, and he is currently a seventeenth-level warrior."
"You plan to make him the next Barbarian King?" Regnar guessed, "But is he strong enough?"
"There are only 200,000 barbarians, and those who can reach level 18 like Rego are already very rare. Although Sam is only at level 17, his strength is also among the top ten among the barbarians. Moreover, When Rego just died, I and the other two masters in the department each killed a barbarian who was a threat to Sam. We also created a lot of chaos there." Alex talked eloquently: "In this way , Sam’s competitive pressure will be much lessened.”
"Not only that, but those barbarians who were killed can also be used as scapegoats, and the poisoned shit basin is thrown into their faces?" Regnar said in a low voice: "You are really good at calculating!"
"That's right." Alex nodded: "The poison in Rego is a mixture of two materials. One alone will not cause damage to him, but if a person takes one of them The poison is soaked into the blood by another poison. Then he will be poisoned."
"Is it the Sorrow of Dou Qi?" Regnar suddenly understood what kind of poison Alex had used.
"That's right, it's the Sorrow of Dou Qi developed by the Guild's Alchemy Department." Alex nodded.
The Sorrow of Dou Qi, this poison was independently developed by the Alchemy Department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Strictly speaking, it is not a poison, at least this poison will not directly kill people. But once people who have been poisoned by this poison use fighting energy, they will be in trouble.
The principle of this poison is to dredge the warrior's Dou Qi tendons. If the warrior releases a large amount of Dou Qi at this time, his tendons will rupture and lead to his death.
To make a simple analogy, assuming that under normal circumstances the overall width of a Dou Qi tendon is ten and the wall thickness of the tendon is six, then the internal space of the tendon responsible for transporting Dou Qi is four.
However, if the warrior is struck by Dou Qi, the overall width of his Dou Qi veins will remain unchanged, but the thickness of the tube wall will become weaker due to the effect of the poison, and the width will be reduced by about four units. In this way, the thickness of the wall of the Dou Qi tube is only two, and the gap in the tendons that can allow Dou Qi to pass through is eight. It is difficult for the weak wall to restrain the surging Dou Qi. Therefore, once a warrior uses Dou Qi excessively after being poisoned by this poison, it will cause the Dou Qi tendons inside the body to collapse. As a result, those with mild injuries were greatly reduced in strength, while those with severe injuries died directly.
Only then did Regner understand why Rego's qualities in all aspects were so ridiculously strong at that time. It seems that not only because his violent rage enhanced his physical functions, but also because of the unimpeded movement of his fighting energy was also a reason for his sudden increase in strength. However, after the rage, Rego couldn't notice the changes inside his body at all. Therefore, the end result of using Dou Qi without restraint is death.
"Speaking of it, this poison is really easy to use." Alex couldn't help but sigh: "To prove that you didn't poison the weapon, I cut myself a few times, but naturally I was unscathed. But these barbarians gave up. suspicion that we poisoned the weapons."
"Then you get some other poisons in Rego's food. Naturally, the barbarians will become suspicious of each other." Regnar said, and he sighed: "In this way, those who framed the false accusation will die. It will also become much easier for the barbarians. After all, we have never touched the food of the barbarian kings, and it is easier for only insiders to obtain it."
"That's it." Alex nodded.
After understanding all this, Regnar couldn't help but feel a little scared. If such a despicable and insidious plan was aimed at him, he felt that he would end up like Rego. Fortunately, Alex was not his enemy, but with such a calculating person by his side, Regnar would always feel a sense of crisis.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Regnar asked.
"I want to stay here and help Sam stabilize the situation within the barbarians." Alex replied: "We humans have been welcomed by some barbarians because we helped the barbarians get rid of the traitors who murdered the barbarian king. Of course, not all The barbarians all believe this rhetoric. So I have to stay here to stabilize the emotions among the barbarians."
"That Sam, is he reliable?" Regnar asked.
"I'm pinching his weak point, and he will listen to me as long as he wants to live." Alex said confidently: "Moreover, I will let him be the barbarian king, let him lead his people south, and let him become the king of the barbarians for thousands of years. Come to the first outstanding barbarian king who really improves the life of the barbarians. As long as he obeys, he can gain many things. So, why won’t he listen to me?”
"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Regnar said feebly.
"Are you going back?" Alex asked a little guilty.
Regnar said coldly: "Since you have planned everything, it is not of much use for me to stay here. It would be better to go back early."
"..." Alex was silent for a moment, and then reluctantly nodded: "Well, it's better to go back early. There may be something else waiting for you to deal with over there. When are you going to leave?"
"I will take another day off today, and I will leave tomorrow." Regnar waved his hand: "If you need anyone in the mission, please stay. I can go back alone."
"I understand. I will arrange this. Just have a good rest here." Alex nodded, then turned and left.
After Alex went out, Regnar stared blankly at the door that was shaking slightly in the wind and snow, and then sighed.
"Are you tired?" Garona asked.
"A bit." Regnar scratched his hair in distress: "Until now, I realized that I had always thought of things too simply. I didn't expect that Alex would make such a complicated and thoughtful thing behind my back. He even used me as a pawn in his plan, I... "
"I have said before, your character is not suitable for such a world at all." Garona also sighed: "I hope this incident can help you learn a lesson!"
"I will..." Regnar nodded. After this incident, Regnar suddenly felt tired of such a life of intrigue. He felt that if the time was right, maybe it would be time to quit the game? This game was too complicated and too dangerous. He felt that he couldn't play it and couldn't afford it...
