Regnar's lightsaber didn't bring out blood flowers because he didn't hit Kordak. At the last moment, Regnar lowered his head and glanced at Kordak at his feet. But there was something that finally changed Regnar's mind.
That was the scar, the scar carved on Kordak's right rib. The three scars were not much thinner than a baby's wrist, and the fourth shallow scar was as thick as a thumb. This is a hideous scar that can make a timid girl cry. It was left by Kordak a long time ago, three or four years ago. At that time, he... In order to save Regnar, he was almost slapped to death by a red-blooded bear.
It was this scar that evoked Regnar's first memory of Kordak. The man who always smiled heartily and patted her shoulders vigorously, the man who was obviously not a few years older than her but always helped and took care of her like a father. That man is Kordak.
Even if he wanted to kill him now, if it weren't for him, he would have died a long time ago. He was his boss and his savior, so in the end, Regnar couldn't take action.
Kordak didn't give him a reason, so Regner didn't need a reason. He still chose to let Kordak go.
Regnar put away his light-swallowing sword and took a step back. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's go!"
Kordak had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but the god of death did not come for a long time. After Regnar made a sound, he opened his eyes in confusion.
"Let's go!" Regnar repeated again. For some reason, he was still a little hesitant when he didn't make this decision at first. But after he actually made this decision, Regnar felt relaxed, as if a heavy mountain had been lifted off him.
"What? Do you still have that ridiculous sympathy?" Kordak used the giant lava blade to support the ground and stood up with difficulty. He glared at Regna and asked, "Do you believe that if you let me go, I will find a way to kill you when I turn around?"
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then he said to Kordak: "You are no match for me."
"That's not necessarily the case!" Kordak showed a sly smile, as if he had already planned something.
"I don't want to argue with you about this!" Regnar frowned and then raised his voice. Kordak then said: "Boss..."
"Now, you still call me boss? Huh?" Kordak seemed to be laughing.
"Some habits are hard to change." Regnar was unmoved. He continued: "You have saved my life several times. If you really want to make a career, I can give you what you want. You will Coming back?"
"No!" Kordak shook his head resolutely: "You have been following me for a few years. You should know my character. I have killed people and set fires. When I encounter what I want, I will do it myself. Fight for it, and even rob it! But, when have you ever seen me begging for charity?"
Regnar lowered his head in disappointment. Kordak's character was indeed what he said. Although it is surprisingly similar to the concept of barbarians, this is Kordak, the boss he is familiar with. Regnar held it in for a long time and could only whisper: "This is not charity..."
"But in my opinion, this is it!" Kordak was not moved at all.
"So, you are determined to kill me?" Regnar asked.
"If I have another chance, I will not hesitate to try to pierce this sword into your heart." Kordak raised the giant lava blade in his hand, and then said arrogantly.
When Regnar heard this, he raised his head, then slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. After an unknown amount of time, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Regnar's mouth. It was originally just a red line, but then it slowly expanded. Finally, Regnar couldn't bear it any longer. He bent down and spat out a large pool of blood with a "wow" sound. This was caused by the overwhelming grief that struck her heart, like the time when Inelise confessed to her poisoning.
"Regna!" Annelotte couldn't help shouting.
"I'm fine..." Regnar waved his hand and wiped the blood from his mouth while standing up straight. Then Regnar stared at Kordak and said, "Since you, boss, are just talking, then I, Regnar, have nothing to say."
"That's how things should be. You're too pretentious!" Kordak curled his lips disdainfully.
"You have helped me and saved me. Without you, I, Regnar, would not be alive today." Regnar looked at Kordak and said, "That time in the Eye of the Secret Magic, even though I saved you, Life, but this is not enough to repay your kindness to me. So, this time, I will let you go."
"I won't thank you." Kordak was not happy that he had saved his life.
"But from now on." Regnar said as he picked up the corner of his clothes with his left hand. A sharp shadow dagger condensed in his right hand. Regnar gritted his teeth and cut the corners of his clothes as if cutting his own flesh. He threw the large piece of rag to Kordak, and then said loudly: "From now on! I cut off my robes from you, and you and I will..."
Regnar paused when he said this, and then he used all his strength to whisper the last four words: "En, Judgment, Justice, Jue..."
When Kordak heard Regnar say this, there was no expression on his face. He picked up the corner of Regna's tattered clothes, and then nodded: "That's fine. You and I will sever our ties, and I won't have any scruples about doing anything in the future."
"You'd better not appear in front of me again, otherwise I will definitely kill you next time." After saying this, Regner stopped and walked towards Annelotte.
Annelotte couldn't help but feel extremely complicated when she saw that two men who were originally like brothers had such a quarrel. But she didn't know what to say in this situation. Because her current memory of Regnar is incomplete, it can be said that she does not understand Regnar, and she cannot make any decisions on her own. Moreover, the main problem lies with Kordak, and there is nothing she can do about Kordak.
Regnar walked to Annelotte's side and whispered: "I'm sorry..."
"Why are you apologizing?" Annelotte asked softly.
"I let him go without authorization, which may pose a threat to your life." Regnar replied.
"He can't hurt me, and you did the right thing."
"And..." Regnar paused, and then said, "I once swore that no matter who I doubted, I would never doubt you. But now..."
"..." Annelotte sighed. She understood what Regner meant. He wanted to say that he now had doubts about her again. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Even a reliable man like Kordak betrayed him, so what about Annelotte? When she approached her goal, it was probably even more complicated than Kordak's. Now, can he trust Annelotte
From an emotional point of view, Regnar naturally wanted to choose to continue trusting the Frost Girl without reservation. But reason was making a weak resistance at this time. Although it was weak, it could not be ignored by Regnar. This made him hesitate, he was a coward, a coward who was very afraid of getting hurt. Therefore, now he does not have the courage to bet everything on his own emotions. This was what he felt most sorry for Annelotte about.
"I can understand you." Annelotte replied softly, but she could only give so much. Could she still comfort Regnar now? It's impossible, because Regnar still doubts him. Moreover, she felt that her relationship with Regnar was not close enough to comfort him.
After Annelotte finished speaking, she turned around and left. Regnar looked at the back of the Frost Girl, and then followed her silently.
Kordak saw so many people around him and knew that he really had no chance this time. So he turned his back to Regnar and the others and prepared to leave.
"Boss." Regnar spoke again when he was halfway there.
"What? You regretted it?" Kordak didn't look back.
"..." Regnar hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Take good care of Sister Vera and Lanmir."
"You don't need to worry!" Kordak carried the giant sword and walked farther and farther.
"Sir, is there anything that needs to be done?" Snow asked a very vague question because he was not sure what Regner meant. If you directly asked a question like "Do you want someone to go quietly and kill Kordak?", it would be bad if Regnar was offended.
Regnar was not angry because Regnar understood that from Snow's standpoint, everything he did was the most reasonable and correct. Therefore, Regnar shook his head: "No, let him go. But remember, everything about this matter must be pushed back as far as possible. It is a day as long as it can be postponed. If I find out that someone deliberately leaked the secret, If so, you all go to hell! Also, I may have to rest for a few days... I'll leave things to you to handle these days."
"Xiao Nuo understands, I will take care of everything." Snow nodded, and then went back to explain to the agents of the Military Intelligence Agency.
Regnar, on the other hand, walked silently behind Annelotte. The snow was still falling tirelessly. Regnar remembered that when he came, he was filled with the joy and excitement of seeing old friends again, but now, his heart was as cold as the plains covered by heavy snow. Cold and empty…
…
The next day, Regner really didn't go to the Military Intelligence Office. Snow was not surprised by this. He knew that Regnar was very emotional, and now that Regnar had suffered such a blow, it would probably take a long time for him to recover.
Therefore, Snow told everyone above and below that Regnar was personally supervising a secret mission at this time, and he was currently handling matters in the Military Intelligence Department as the acting director. Of course, he also sent someone to ask Regnar for instructions. But according to the agent who ran the errand, Regner didn't come out to see him either. He just pressed his fingerprints and settled the matter.
In this way, Snow continued to maintain the operations of the Military Intelligence Agency as acting director.
