"If you want to use such a fictitious person to confuse me, then I advise you to give up this idea!" Alfred seemed a little impatient with Kordak's contemplation.
Although there are many doubts about Balor, Kordak still has more important things to discuss at the moment. So I sorted out my thoughts and said, "Well, now it's your turn to talk about your purpose."
"My purpose is simple, to kill you." Alfred said without hesitation.
"If that was really the case, then you wouldn't be talking so much nonsense to me here." Kordak was unmoved at all.
"Very smart. What I said just now was just to adjust the atmosphere." Alfred gave a rare smile.
"Okay, tell me, how on earth will you let Vera go? Or maybe even let me go?" Kordak was obviously not interested in Alfred's humor. He grabbed the bars of the prison and also made a gesture. Impatient expression.
"Let you go?" Alfred looked at Kordak with a half-smile, and his face had a few obvious wrinkles because of this expression. The imperial prime minister asked instead: "Do you think I will let go of my enemies who have a hatred of genocide against me?"
"The only one who was exterminated was my young master. His name was Cole Smith, who later became Silenos. If the people under you who collected intelligence were not stupid pigs, they should have reported it to you long ago, right? Silenos He died a few years ago, and no one in the Smith family can take revenge on you." Kordak said expressionlessly.
"But doesn't the iron-blooded giant Kordak value friendship the most?" Alfred smiled: "Isn't it normal to avenge the genocide of a good brother who has been with you for more than twenty years?"
"I almost killed Regnar a few days ago." Kordak reminded him nonchalantly.
"You can fool others about this, but don't try to fool me." Alfred did not follow Kordak's tactics at all. He shook his head, and then did not explain the reason.
"Okay, okay, it's really hard to bargain with an old fox like you. So tell me how you can let go of Vera?" Kordak rolled his eyes and said, "Stop these meaningless temptations. Come on, state your conditions, and if we can negotiate a suitable price, I think we will both be very happy."
"It's very simple. I want Lord Dark Elegy to be on my side." Alfred said.
"Are you an idiot?" Kordak suddenly flashed a bit of disdain: "Xiao Lei and Joffrey have always been at odds, so Xiao Lei is asked to help him? Do you think it is possible?"
"I have never mentioned His Highness the Great Prince." Alfred had an elusive smile on his face. He smiled and repeated: "What I said is, stand here." Alfred specifically The word "I" is emphasized.
Kordak suddenly felt a chill on his back. Didn't Alfred mean to let Regnar help Joffrey? But help him? What exactly does this mean? What does this old guy want to win over Regnar? What is his plan? ! Does this old guy still want to be...
"What on earth do you want to do?!" Kordak let out a trembling cry.
"Don't be so nervous, young man."
By this time, the gap between Alfred and Kordak finally showed. Even when talking about things that might be related to seeking power and usurping the throne, Alfred could still remain calm and composed, while Kordak was already getting nervous. What kind of psychological quality does this old fox have
Alfred shrugged nonchalantly: "Everyone has their own plans, right? I just want to fight for something more."
"Aren't you afraid that I will say these things?" Kordak asked in a threatening tone.
"If you can, please do so." Alfred was still nonchalant. He made a "as you please" gesture, and then said: "First of all, you can't leave here. Secondly, even if you can go out, who will believe you?" ?You are just a death row prisoner who betrayed everyone and bit around like a mad dog."
"..." Kordak was silent, Alfred was right. Except for Regner and the others, it is impossible for anyone to believe his words now. And this matter was related to Regner himself, and it was impossible for him to tell it. Moreover, what would happen even if he told it? Without any direct evidence, such groundless rumors are not convincing at all. Alfred was the prime minister of the empire who was inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people. It was not particularly uncommon for such rumors to happen occasionally.
"What will happen if I reject you?" Kordak asked in a low voice, "Both Vera and I will die?"
"So, you won't accept my proposal no matter what?" Alfred asked calmly.
"If we consider your current position and plans, it is impossible for me to accept your proposal." Kordak shook his head firmly: "I must admit that you are very dangerous, very dangerous. But Xiao Lei is not a person who has There are too many scheming people. Without the help of Annie and Alex, this stupid boy would not even be able to control the military intelligence department. Therefore, there is absolutely no way I will let that stupid boy associate with you. This will only kick him into a pit of fire. in."
"In fact." Alfred looked a little disappointed. He said helplessly: "What you did is kicking Lord Dark Elegy into the fire pit. Almost everyone in the Hawke Empire knows that being Alfred's My friends are far more comfortable than my enemies."
"Then prove it to me." Kordak's eyes flashed. He felt that Alfred might be hiding something. If he could get more information, he might make other judgments. Because this decision was not only for Regnar, but also for himself and Vera. If it could keep both of them alive, why wouldn't Kordak do it
Alfred seemed to think about it for a moment, but in the end he shook his head: "No, there are only so many things I can give, and you must make your own decision based on these things."
"..." Kordak hesitated, and finally he thought of the scene of the Silenos family's disaster. He knew that Alfred was definitely a very dangerous person, and it was equally dangerous whether he was his enemy or his friend. For Regnar, there is no doubt that enemies on the surface are much easier to deal with than those who stab him in the dark. It's ironic, isn't it? As an assassin, Regnar's specialty was to stab people in secret.
Therefore, Kordak shook his head firmly in the end. He could never push Regnar into the fire pit because of his or Vera's life. He, Kordak, would never be able to do such a thing!
"Impossible! I can't possibly persuade him to go with you. This is seeking skin from a tiger!" Kordak said decisively. He was even ready to accept Vera's cold body! But on one side is the woman he loves, and on the other side is his life and death brother. Kordak would rather give up his woman's life than drag Regnar down. He believed that Vera would also understand his approach. Because she is his Kordak's woman!
"I have told His Highness the Prince a long time ago that this is impossible..." Alfred's eyes flashed with disappointment. He sighed helplessly and prepared to leave without saying a word.
"Hey!" Kordak still felt unsure after rejecting Alfred's request. He grabbed the iron railing and shouted, "What will you do to Vera?"
Alfred turned his head, the expression on his face was one of amusement and disdain. It felt like a person with an overall view of the situation observing a confused idiot trapped in a maze. This expression made Kordak a little annoyed.
"If I guessed correctly, you must think that the reason why I will attack you is because I know your identity and the relationship between you and the Smith Chamber of Commerce, right?" Alfred said in a mocking tone. asked.
"Isn't it?" Kordak was stunned. From his point of view, his identity was indeed dangerous and sensitive.
"Stupid!" Alfred cursed without hesitation: "Your appearance deceived me. It seems that I still think highly of you after all - you are just a yellow-haired boy who can only pay attention to what is in front of you! "
"You're just beating me around the bush to make me look younger?" Kordak was furious. He didn't know why, but Regnar had infected him with some off-kilter personality in the past few years.
"..." Alfred was speechless. He said lightly: "You are lucky, at least this time it is not bad. But for the sake of some people, I will give you a piece of advice. Get out of here as soon as possible and go back to the wilderness. And just go to Lance continent. This place is not suitable for you!"
"Damn it, you dare to despise my IQ!" Kordak yelled: "You fucking come here? You have the ability to do a few arithmetic problems with me!"
"..." Alfred ignored the crazy Kordak. He grabbed a torch and disappeared into the darkness of the dungeon.
Kordak cursed for a while alone, and stopped after he was sure Alfred was gone. This guy sat on the thatched bed and thought for a while, then suddenly grinned bitterly, he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out!
But one thing he was sure of, since Alfred said let him go back to Lance continent. From this point of view, neither he nor Vera should die. After working so hard, what is this Alfred doing
This feeling of confusion made Kordak very uncomfortable, but what made him even more uncomfortable was Rondo's death. If Alfred didn't intend to kill him in the first place, then it proves one thing: Londo's death will be meaningless...
That idiot...
