After hearing this sentence, Regnar understood. Number 1 probably had no intention of killing him from the beginning.
Because that arrow is too weak. Although Regnar was seriously injured because of this arrow, most of his serious injuries were caused by his desperate fighting. If you think about it this way, this arrow is indeed too weak.
After all, No. 1 is the strongest assassin in the Assassination Department of the Intelligence Bureau. With her ability, will a carefully prepared sneak attack only hurt Regnar's shoulder? Obviously impossible! Moreover, she has not put poison on the arrows, plus No. 1's performance during the battle. In fact, it was not difficult for Regnar to judge that No. 1 had held back in the battle just now.
Moreover, Regnar also noticed a detail. He remembered that No. 1's arm should have been injured by his space cutting just now, but why does she seem to be completely healed now
Considering this, Regnar finally decided to believe No. 1. After all, he really couldn't bear to leave Sha Sha here alone.
"You made the right choice." Number One smiled, she stretched out her hand and said to Shasha who was hiding behind Regna: "Come on, kid, I will take you out."
"Don't have any ideas about her!" Regna blocked her again.
"Her mobility can't keep up with ours. Do you still want to carry her on your back in this state?" No. 1 looked at Regna and asked.
"..." Regnar thought for a moment, then turned to Shasha and nodded.
Although this guy is a northerner and an enemy of the Stoke people. But under the current situation, the person Shasha trusted the most was surprisingly Regnar. So after Regnar nodded, Shasha mustered up the courage and walked out.
No. 1 reached out and grabbed her, then lowered his body and carried her onto his back.
"I'm really sorry just now, but for the sake of acting, I had to do that. But with Regna here, I believe you won't get hurt." Number 1 said to Shasha, who was still a little afraid of herself.
"..." Shasha remained silent, just burying her little face lower on No. 1's shoulder.
And No. 1 didn't care about Shasha's answer. After she finished speaking, she nodded to Regnar and motioned for him to follow.
Regnar stood up and pressed his left shoulder. It seemed that the healing potion had taken effect and his shoulder had stopped bleeding. After confirming the wound, Regnar also nodded to No. 1.
So No. 1 started running.
Only then did Regnar understand how terrifying No. 1's movement skills were. She moved without any sound at all, and her speed was astonishingly fast. Salsa, which weighs dozens of kilograms, is no burden to her at all!
Regnar frowned, but still followed.
It is very easy for the top assassins of the two empires to bypass these guards. And No. 1 is obviously very familiar with the thousand-year-old city. She knows all kinds of remote and dark alleys and all kinds of unknown hiding places. Under her leadership, it can be said that Regnar's journey was uneventful.
The way to leave the city was even more bizarre. No. 1 walked around in a small alley for an unknown number of times, and then she came to the mouth of a dry well in an abandoned courtyard. Number 1 looked at Regna, and then jumped in with Shasha.
There is an underground passage at the bottom of the well, and it seems to be an underground maze. At least Regnar has walked through more than a dozen intersections, including three-way intersections, crossroads, and five-way intersections. In short, Regner originally wanted to use his memory to memorize the route, but he had to give up halfway through.
The complexity of this maze far exceeded his imagination. Want to rely on human brain memory? I'm afraid only a talented high-level mage like Annelotte can do it.
Thinking of this, Regnar couldn't help but be curious: "How on earth did you remember these routes?"
"Do you think I will tell you?" No. 1 asked calmly.
"No." Regnar didn't have much hope.
"Guessed it right."
“…”
The three of them walked in the underground maze for about half an hour, and then No. 1 took Regnar to a dead end. She pointed to the top of her head: "Open it, it's not convenient for me to carry her."
Regnar glanced at No. 1 warily, walked up, and then raised his head to observe. There is indeed something like a lid on top of the head. But Regnar was not sure whether what was waiting for him outside was an empty city or a group of heavily armed Stoker soldiers.
Regnar used the Blade of Shadow to condense a slender stick, and then used it to push up the lid. The lid is a bit heavy, but Regnar's high-level warrior's physical fitness can still hold it up.
The silvery white moonlight shone in through the gap, and Regnar also saw the twinkling stars in the sky. This made him sigh in relief. Regnar pushed the lid open with force, and then suddenly jumped on it. He never used Shadow Teleportation. This ability was reserved for him to prepare for uncertain sudden crises.
Number One did not lie to him. He was indeed in the wild now, but not far from the thousand-year-old capital of the Stoke Empire. At least Regner could still see the city wall not far away in such a dark night. Of course, his night vision was much better than that of ordinary people.
"Aren't you going to pull me up?" No. 1 asked, his voice sounding like he was some kind of weak woman.
Regnar had no choice but to hand over the black rod condensed by Shadow Edge. Number 1 grabbed the stick and was pulled up by Regnar. But because two hands were needed to pull the stick, the wound on Regnar's left shoulder that had finally clotted opened again.
"What did you do to her?" Regnar couldn't help but said angrily, because at this time Shasha was lying softly on No. 1's shoulder, seemingly asleep.
But Regnar knew that this was impossible, because this girl was still looking at him with her eyes open before he came up!
"Don't worry, I just let her sleep for a while. Because it's better for our next conversation to be kept secret." No. 1 said with a smile.
"Only the dead keep secrets. Are you going to kill her?" Regnar asked, staring at No. 1.
"Of course not." No. 1 gently leaned Shasha against a tree. She did not look back, but said softly: "I admit that the dead are the best at keeping secrets, but I can't do that."
"Why?"
"Because you don't want me to do this, right?" No. 1 still didn't look back.
"If I don't let you do it, won't you do it?" Regnar asked.
"..." No. 1 did not answer. She turned to look at Regner's still bleeding shoulder, and then said, "Your wound is open."
"I know."
"Let me help you heal!" Number 1 came over.
Regnar originally wanted to reject her, but he noticed the look in No. 1's eyes. Her eyes no longer looked as calm or playful as before, but instead looked very pitiful. It's like a puppy begging for food but afraid of being rejected or chased.
Regnar's heart softened for no reason when he saw this look. He snorted coldly, and then allowed No. 1 to take off his bandage.
Number 1 looked at Regnar's wounds, and then started to pray under Regnar's shocked eyes.
"With your glorious power, heal the unfortunate people." No. 1's prayer seemed very stiff, not even pious at all. But the god she prayed to answered No. 1, and then soft divine energy condensed and took shape in her hands.
"Are you still Pelor's priest?!" Regnar asked in astonishment. He was very familiar with this sacred energy, because it was the same feeling when Irene used divine magic. This woman not only has the strength of a high-level assassin, but she is also proficient in divine arts! !
"No." No. 1 seemed to frown in disgust when she heard the name. She said, "But I can use his power."
"..." Regnar didn't ask again. He probably wouldn't tell him if he asked again.
The healing was very painful for Regnar at the beginning, because he also activated the fifth level of darkness tonight, and now there is still a lot of shadow energy left in his body. The sacred energy in No. 1's hand will first destroy these natural enemies before healing Regnar's wounds.
Gradually, Regnar's brows relaxed. No. 1's healing technique is very effective, not bad compared to Irene's. So with the help of her healing technique, Regnar's wound solidified again.
"Thank you." Regnar could only say a dull thank you after confirming that he had indeed improved. Then he asked curiously: "Why do you want to help me?"
"..." No. 1 seemed a little disappointed when he heard Regnar ask this. But she still didn't answer Regner's question. She just said, "It's already half done."
"What did you say?" Regnar couldn't help but be stunned.
"We... no, or they don't have much time left." No. 1 did not answer, but continued: "And you will be a key point in determining their fate."
"Can you let me understand what you mean?" Regnar's head was full of black lines.
But No. 1 still ignored him and just said to himself: "Although for me... But since we have reached a deal with Pero, I can only stand on this side."
"Hey! Did you hear me?" Regnar was a little crazy.
"I can't say this directly, otherwise no one knows how the future will be rewritten to become more terrifying." Number One shook her head, and then she said: "Everything can only be based on your own exploration."
"Then you can give me a hint?" Regnar didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Number 1 seemed to be talking to himself, but Regnar couldn't understand even half of the sentence.
"..." No. 1 was silent for a moment, and then said: "Go check the founding war of the Hawk Empire. There is a person worthy of your attention. You will know who he is."
"The Founding War?" Regner couldn't help but was stunned. Malolite also asked him to investigate the Founding War, but he has been very busy since he returned to the Military Intelligence Office, so the matter was left there. Why is it now? No. also allowed himself to pay attention to that era. What happened
"Poof!" Before Regner could figure out what No. 1 meant, No. 1 suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
