"What's wrong?" Balor could see that Kordak seemed to realize something.
"No..." Kordak shook his head: "It's nothing, just some personal matters."
"But your personal affairs have now caused your sister to be kidnapped inexplicably!" Balor did not give in. He stood up. Although he was slightly shorter than Kordak, at this time because he was eager to To protect someone, he gained an unprecedented momentum.
"..." Kordak was silent for a moment, but he still shook his head firmly: "No, I can't completely believe you now, so I won't admit anything..."
"You guy!!" Balor growled. He grabbed Kordak's collar and pushed him back hard: "Do you know that my sister is in danger now?"
"Don't worry, if Alfred really kidnapped her, he will definitely use Vera to deal with me. He will never hurt Vera easily." Kordak was not angry at all, although He was feeling a little frantic now, but he knew that at times like this, he needed to calm down more.
"What are you going to do next?" Balor glared at Kordak hatefully, but he also knew that it was useless to get angry at this time, so he could only calm down and ask Kordak what his next plan was.
"..." Kordak thought for a moment, and then replied: "If Alfred is really targeting me, I think I am really in danger this time."
"Then you plan to surrender without mercy? Even risk my sister's life?" Balor asked coldly.
"Of course not." Kordak shook his head.
"How about we go to Regnar and let him figure it out?"
"No." Kordak shook his head: "Don't bother Xiao Lei with this matter. We don't have any evidence at all to prove that Alfred kidnapped Vera. Because you can't come to the table."
"You can't go on stage!" Balor cursed angrily.
"So this matter cannot be made public, and there is no way to negotiate openly." Kordak ignored Balor and continued to analyze: "And secretly, if Xiaolei uses the power of the Military Intelligence Agency, it will be easy to find Vera. . But the greater possibility is that he cannot be found, and if he cannot be found, then it will be a big crime for him to secretly use the power of the imperial intelligence agency to investigate the imperial prime minister. By then, the two of us may be finished together!"
"Then what are you going to do?" Balor asked impatiently.
"This matter can only be solved by myself." Kordak thought for a moment, and then replied: "Once Xiao Lei gets involved, he will definitely be covered in fishy smell. I can't involve him."
"Are you sure?"
"No. Whether Xiao Lei comes or not, I'm not sure."
"..." Balor was silent for a moment. He suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "How many people know that my sister left alone to find Regnar?"
"???" Kordak was also stunned after hearing this. Yes, Vera's departure was a relatively secretive matter. Except for a few captains and accompanying mages in the corps, Kordak did not make this matter known to the whole city. Did Alfred meet Vera by chance, or was it planned
Kordak told Balor his analysis.
"It can't be a coincidence." Balor replied affirmatively: "The ambush was obviously carefully prepared. They might have been following their sister for a long time. So, it can't be a coincidence."
"How did that leak out..." Kordak frowned. Although there are not many people who know about it at present, it is not just two or three. It has been nearly a month since Heizi died. The person who succeeded him as captain was a good brother of Heizi. Kordak was very clear about his character.
If it weren't for him, it would be even more impossible for Rondo to be so stupid. Eberron... This boy doesn't have a normal relationship with me, no. Could it be those accompanying mages? Kordak also shook his head. Although they were all selected by Joffrey, these guys are usually unruly. If it weren't for the shock of Annelotte and his daughter, Kordak would not have the confidence to control them easily. As for being an informant for Alfred, it's not very likely.
Kordak thought about it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find the ideal answer. He waved his hand irritably: "I will consider this matter myself. As for you, just..."
"What I want to do has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to control me." Balor stood up and said seriously: "Leave this matter to me first. If I can investigate my sister's If you find her whereabouts or even rescue her directly, wouldn’t everything be fine for you here?”
"Hey!" Kordak hurriedly grabbed Balor: "Alfred is not that easy to deal with. You can easily die if you go like this!"
Balor's dark lips pulled into a smile, and his body softened in an instant. Kordak felt as if water was slipping away from his fingers. When he came back to his senses, Balor had already left. out of his control.
"You seem to have forgotten that I am a shadow creature." Balor said bitterly: "Do you know what characteristics shadow creatures have?"
“…”
"We are difficult to destroy. As long as we are not injured by the powerful light energy, we are almost immortal." Balor said as his body slowly softened like mud. He left Kordak's tent like a puddle of moving sewage. Before leaving, Kordak seemed to hear Balor saying softly: "So, don't worry about me...brother-in-law."
…
That was the second and last time Kordak and Balor met. Kordak waited for more than a month after that, but Balor seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news from that night. Sometimes Kordak even wondered whether Balor showed up that night. Was he dreaming
But Vera's inexplicable disappearance is also an indisputable fact. Although Kordak didn't seem to have changed much on the surface, Lanmir, who had been following him, clearly noticed that Kordak was absent-minded. But no matter how Lanmir asked, Kordak never said anything.
Kordak has been thinking about whether to tell Regnar these things. He had already made up his mind. If he heard about Regnar's return to Melinder, he would contact him. He did not necessarily have to tell the whole story. Tell it, but at least use his power to find out the truth.
But Kordak didn't expect that before he wrote the letter, another shocking news came through. That’s why Annelotte’s life and death are unknown…
This sudden news shocked Kordak again, and this news completely gave up his idea of asking Regnar for help. Since the two brothers are in trouble because of their women, let's go about their own business first!
In the end, the thing that helped Kordak make his decision was a letter. Kordak finally made up his mind after seeing the letter from an unknown source. He simply explained it to Londo and Eberron. After a while, he left the independent brigade alone.
…
After waking up, Kordak felt that he was in good condition, and his drunkenness had already gradually subsided in his sleep. Although I had a dream, I could just review what happened during this period. I looked at the sky and saw that it was night now, it seemed that it was not yet midnight. So Kordak decided to go downstairs to replenish some energy before talking.
Same beef and bread, only this time Kordak didn't ask for wine. After eating and drinking, Kordak waited for another two hours to make sure that the food was digested and everyone gradually fell asleep. Kordak finally took action.
Bang!
Kordak landed on the ground as heavy as a bear falling from a tree, and then the strong man hurriedly left there before anyone noticed.
This is a large city called Panda in the province of Semrela. This city is already considered relatively wealthy in the Semrela Province, but Kordak doesn't care much about it. What he cares more about is the city lord of this city. This guy's name is Elan, Elan Battier. He is Alfred's nephew, but is generally regarded as the heir to the Rollins family.
Yes, the future heir of the Rollin family is not Alfred's only son Eddie Torollin. But this man named Ellan Battier.
And the reason why this happens is just because Eddie Torolin is a idiot. Although Alfred has always been known for his scheming, everyone has to admit that such a shrewd man actually gave birth to such a useless son.
Alfred originally had high hopes for Aidito, but this guy completely shattered the old fox's illusions with his repeated sins. So Alfred could only set his sights on Ellan Battier, who was five or six years younger than Aidito but was smarter and more astute than him. This guy is the son of Alfred's sister, but the strange thing is that Alfred's sister Sansa Lorin never has a husband. Therefore, Elan is actually just an illegitimate child.
In addition, it is said that this Elan is very similar to Alfred when he was young, almost immediately coming out of the same mold...
Alfred has one younger brother and three younger sisters. Therefore, even though Alfred's only biological child is Addito, even the most idiotic person can guess that this old fox must have many illegitimate children. . As for nephews and nephews, there are probably even more.
But even with so many descendants, in the current eyes of people, the future heir of the Luo Lin family will most likely fall on Elan. Otherwise, how could Alfred help a nephew to a position like the city lord
What Kordak wants to do is simple. He wants to kidnap Elan, and then use Elan to exchange Vera with Alfred. Although there are too many risks in doing so, Kordak has no other choice now. Since Vera's disappearance, there has been no movement from Alfred except for a letter. He couldn't imagine what kind of plans Alfred was planning. So he must take the initiative, even if it is reckless, but he must disrupt Alfred's rhythm.
Kordak knew very well that if everything went according to Alfred's wishes, he would be the loser. So, Kordak came here, preparing to carry out his first infiltration mission in his life.
