The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 40: Olwen's provocation

Views:

Meteor City is still so majestic.

"I'm finally back." Regnar looked at the tall and thick city wall and couldn't help but sigh. This trip only took him a dozen days in total, but he felt that he had experienced more things than in the previous ten years. , alien invasion, life and death, and hanging on a thread. When he returned to Meteor City from the dangerous wilderness, he felt a sense of peace of mind, and at the same time, he also developed a sense of attachment to the largest human city in the eastern continent.

The guards were still the same as when they returned last time. When he saw that Kordak and his party were missing Silenos, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. When he saw the tiredness and sorrow that could not be concealed on the faces of Kordak and others, he roughly guessed something.

"I'm sorry, my friend." A trace of pain flashed across the guard's face.

Kordak smiled, but didn't say much. The guard also knew that Kordak would not be in a good mood at this time, so he did not offer much comfort and just patted Kordak's shoulder gently.

The room in Bright Star is still full. Because of Silenos' departure, Regnar finally has his own independent room, but if possible, he would rather go back to sharing the bed with Kordak and smelling the smelly feet. day.

The boss of Shining Star is also very familiar with Kordak and others. After hearing the news of Silenos' departure, he was filled with regret. That night, he prepared a sumptuous meal for the remaining three members of the mercenary team for free. At the banquet, the three of them got drunk together.

The next day was destined to be a decadent day. It was already afternoon when the three Kordak woke up. Their severe headaches made it impossible for them to do anything. The three of them had a hasty meal and then went back to their rooms. Yes, they agreed to go to the Mercenary Alliance to settle tasks together tomorrow after they sobered up, and at the same time... submitted the death notice of Silenos.

The mercenary alliance is always so clean and orderly. Kordak and others first used the head of the red-blooded bear to settle the mission they received more than ten days ago.

Because there was news from Yorktown that the red-blooded bear had not appeared again, the people from the Mercenary Alliance stopped nagging and paid the gold coins directly to Kordak after identifying the authenticity of the head. . After that, Kordak came to Eve who was responsible for member registration and cancellation.

To Regner's expectation, Eve didn't show much grief when she learned that Silenus had died during this mission. She just looked a little gloomy, looking like Vera was wailing. completely different.

But Kordak was not surprised by this. In fact, Eve and Silenus were not familiar with each other. It was just that she took a fancy to Silenus' calmness and had a certain liking for him. Now Silenus Death, she was naturally a little sad, but if she cried like she was mourning for her heir, it would make Kordak feel a bit fake.

"This matter has been registered. If Silenus does not show up within a month, we will confirm his death." Eve put away the information Kordak filled in, feeling for a good man. Feeling sad to pass away.

She paused and then said slightly apologetically: "This mission was recommended by me. I'm sorry that you lost an important companion because of it. If possible..."

Before Eve could finish speaking, Kordak shook his head and said: "Eve, you are worrying too much. None of us are indifferent to right from wrong. You only want to help us by recommending this task. As for Silenos's Death has nothing to do with you, you can feel sad for his passing, but there is no need to feel guilty about it, it is not your fault at all."

"Anyway... I'm sorry." Eve lowered her head, and Regnar saw tears falling from her eyes.

"In the end, I didn't say anything. If I could muster up the courage earlier, maybe I wouldn't be so regretful now, right?" Eve thought to herself.

"Oh, let me guess, last time I registered this young boy, what is it for this time? Huh? Why didn't that boring gourd in your team show up? Does it have something to do with you coming here? Hehe." A command The disgusting voice reached the ears of Kordak and the others. Listening to him commenting on his deceased companions in a joking and ridiculing tone, even Kordak couldn't help but get angry.

"Olwen, are you just wandering around in the mercenary alliance so boringly all day long?" Kordak stared coldly at the neither-male nor female guy in front of him.

"It's just a coincidence. I just finished a mission and then I discovered this interesting scene. So, can you tell me about that boring gourd? To be honest, I really miss him." Olwen said in a weird voice said.

"You don't need to worry about his affairs! Silenos is not a boring gourd!" Vera said angrily.

"Oh, yes, yes, Silenus, I'm sorry, I always forget that guy's name, but it's probably useless to remember it now, right? What name does a dead person need? Hey, I've said it before, like you This kind of mob can't live long, and becoming excrement is the best destination for you." Alvin stabbed Kordak and the three of them in a painful spot with a sudden burst of blood.

"You're looking for death!" Kordak's eyes were filled with murderous intent. After killing the red-blooded bear, he was attacked by orcs. Silenos died tragically, Vera was captured, and then he was forced to become a half-human being. Werewolf monster. The several setbacks he experienced in just a few days had already accumulated a lot of resentment in his heart. Now this Alvin, who had always disgusted him, verbally insulted Silenos. These grievances were like gunpowder, instantly ignited by Olwen's harsh words.

At this time, Kordak was overwhelmed with anger. He didn't care whether the man in front of him could beat him or not, and he didn't care what the consequences would be if he caused trouble in the mercenary alliance. The only thing he wanted to do now was to kill this scumbag. Beat him up, or even kill him.

In fact, apart from Kordak, Vera was also furious. When the orcs attacked, she was beaten with a stick, and then she watched the tragic death of Silenos. Those scenes lingered in her like a nightmare. on my heart.

She has been blaming herself very much these days. If she had been more vigilant at that time, she would not have been easily subdued by the orcs. In a sober state, she might have a chance to escape the orc attack with Silenos. In this way, Siler North would not have died a tragic death, and Kordak would not have drank the moon and turned into a monster that looked both human and inhuman.

Therefore, when Alvin insulted Silenus, Vera could no longer restrain her anger.

However, before the two of them could make a move, another person made a move before them.

Regnar didn't know when he had rushed in front of Alvin, holding the flaming blade emitting magical light in his hand!

When he was in the Elf Tribe, Kordak gave Silenos, the most valuable weapon, to Regnar, and Regnar always carried it with him as a relic left to him by Silenos. . Now that someone was insulting Silenus, Regnar felt that if he didn't do something, he wouldn't deserve to have this dagger.

Therefore, while Kordak and Vera were still struggling between reason and anger, Regna rushed forward with the dagger without hesitation. As a newcomer, he didn't know what kind of punishment the Mercenary Alliance would punish those who caused trouble, and he didn't bother to think about it.

Regnar rushed forward quickly and came to Alvin in just one step. He raised his right hand and slashed with the dagger. If the knife was sharpened, Alvin would lose his left arm.

Due to Kordak's reminder when he was in Yege Forest, Regner was now very restrained in his movements. With this blow, he only wanted to break off one of Alvin's hands, but did not kill him.

When Olwen saw the new little guy, he was the first to rush forward, with a smile of successful conspiracy appearing on the corner of his mouth.

In the mercenary alliance, fighting and causing trouble will be severely punished, but only for those who strike first. After all, the mercenary alliance also knows that people always need to defend themselves when facing danger. It is obviously inhumane to punish both parties.

At first, the mercenary alliance would try to sort out the ins and outs of the fight and strive for a fair punishment. However, most of the mercenaries were hot-tempered desperadoes who regarded human life as trivial. It was common for them to fight at the slightest disagreement. In this case, the two parties always talk about the public's reasons and the mother-in-law's reasons.

So later on, the mercenary alliance didn't bother to make detailed penalties. They only stipulated that no one could make trouble under any circumstances, and whoever made the first move would be punished. Obviously, this time Regnar became the first one who couldn't hold it any longer and took action first.

Although I was a little surprised by the speed shown by this young man, it still seemed a bit unsatisfactory for an assassin like Alvin who had been working in the Moon Shadow Thieves Assassination Department for many years. Alvin just turned slightly to avoid Regnar's attack, and then he also took out his dagger.

Kordak also reacted at this time. He quickly moved to Alvin's side. His huge body immediately put endless pressure on Alvin. He could see that he held Alvin's hand holding the dagger tightly with one hand. With his right hand, the other hand grabbed Alvin's collar, and with a loud shout, the strong Kordak threw Alvin directly.

Alvin quickly adjusted his posture in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

"You are too impulsive." Kordak hid Regnar behind him.

"Are you asking me to watch him insult Brother Silenos and do nothing?" Regnar walked to Kordak.

"Of course not. Since we have already taken action, let's just have a good time." Kordak was too lazy to think so much now, but the problem now was that he did not bring a weapon.

Although the mercenary alliance does not prohibit members from bringing weapons, how many of them come here with the intention of causing trouble? It was really strenuous to carry those bulky weapons all the time, so Vera's bow and arrows and Kordak's two-handed sword were left in the hotel. Only Regna brought a small and portable flaming blade.

Although Alvin on the other side was unprepared, he still carried one or two daggers with him. For him, these were enough to cope with the current scene.

"I want to see what you are capable of." Alvin pulled out his second dagger with a vicious smile on his face.
