The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 47: Balor's conspiracy

Views:

"Uh..." Regnar looked at the man who just came in and was a little confused about the situation. Although the man in front of him was tall and seemed to be a guy who was very attractive to women, Regnar didn't expect that he was also attractive. To Pird's attention...

Suddenly, Regnar remembered some rumors about nobles that were circulating in the market. It is said that nobles are sometimes attracted to people of the same sex, and some even have no interest in the opposite sex and only like the same sex. Thinking of this, Regnar suddenly felt uncomfortable as if his body had been drenched with a thick liquid, and his eyes towards Pilder became strange.

"Is this what people call homosexuality?" Regnar thought to himself. He was considering whether he should leave now. After all, Regnar was interested in things between men and women, but he couldn't accept things between men. .

But he didn't dare to make up his mind and leave directly. Since he finally got here, if he didn't investigate the matter clearly, he might not be able to do business when he went back. Could it be that it was not his mistress who asked him to report directly to Pird, but his lover? So he decided to stay and see before talking.

Soon, Regnar realized that he had thought wrong, because Pilder did not make any strange moves towards the new man at all. He just exchanged simple greetings and started talking. But as the conversation progressed, Regner was also frightened by its content.

"So, what do you want this time?" Pilder asked.

"Lord Balor has sown the seeds of hatred among the orcs, and now we need to let humans ignite their own anger," the man said.

"Just tell me what needs to be done. I don't have time to play charades with you here." Pilder was obviously very impatient.

"As you wish, Lord Balor means that you can also stir up hatred against the orcs within humans. It would be best if you can arouse public indignation among humans." The man replied.

"Isn't it enough to rely on the Eyes of the Mystery? They killed five elite orc scout teams in the Nightsong Forest." Pilder asked.

Hearing this, Regnar could clearly smell the conspiracy.

Since coming to Meteor City, everything has been handled by Kordak, who is both rough and tumble, calm and sophisticated. Regnar is happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't think about anything, but this doesn't mean that Regnar is a person who doesn't care about anything. An innocent boy who doesn’t understand.

Although he cannot be said to be young and mature after living in the slums for many years, he still has a certain understanding of the sinister nature of the world. As early as when he left Yege Forest, Regnar was puzzled by the sudden arrival of the orcs.

According to Kordak and Vera's descriptions, the orcs have been quite peaceful in the past three or four years, and there have never been any attacks. However, the several orc teams that suddenly appeared in the Nightsong Forest this time were obviously not for plunder.

These doubts have troubled Regner for a long time, and he also believed that Kordak could not have considered these issues, but just did not mention them to him. After repeated thoughts and no results, Regnar had to give up on these questions. After all, being able to come back alive is better than anything else. If it is really because the orcs are planning to write something, then it is not something that a little person like him can control. of.

And now it seems that he has accidentally found the cause of these things - the man named Balor. Based on the conversation between the two, and combined with the information obtained from previous conversations with the Mystic Eyes duty team, Regnar quickly guessed most of the content of the matter:

The man named Balor tried to provoke a dispute between humans and orcs for some reason. He tried every means to create friction between the orcs and humans. The orcs may have come to Nightsong Forest because they were investigating something. Because the orcs were provoked by humans, they would naturally attack humans without explanation in the Night Song Forest. And his own team is one of the victims. As for the humans, I'm afraid it was Balor who also led the Eyes of Secret Magic there, intensifying the conflict between humans and orcs again.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Regnar immediately became infinitely hostile to the man named Balor.

Because of him, Regnar and Vera were once in danger, Kordak was infected with werewolf blood, and Silenos died directly at the hands of an orc.

Although this was not Balor's intention, every time he thought of Silenos' tragic death, Regnar felt a surge of anger in his heart. Driven by anger, Regnar's breathing became a little heavier. He looked at the four people in the room coldly, but found with some helplessness that he could not make any move at all.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the pampered Pilder. Although he has received some martial arts training, Regnar will naturally not take his showmanship seriously.

But the two followers following Pilder made Regnar feel a little troublesome. He could see that these two people were not mediocre. After all, even for the sake of his own life, Pilder could not bring two wine bags and rice bags with him. . And these are not the most troublesome. The thing that makes Regnar feel most afraid is the man who entered last. His body exudes a faint smell of blood. This smell made Regnar unconsciously think of that cold man. Assassin Alvin, and although this man should not be as good as Alvin, he is definitely not something Regnar can deal with.

Because he was thinking about the ins and outs of the matter, Regner didn't hear much of the conversation between the four Pilders. When he concentrated again and prepared to eavesdrop, the conversation between the four suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Pilder, did you bring anyone else tonight?" the man suddenly said after a moment of silence.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Then, you have to be more careful in the future, otherwise, something similar to today is likely to happen in the future." The man's words shocked Regnar.

A cold consciousness locked onto him. Regnar knew that he had been discovered, and he was ready to jump out of the skylight and escape without hesitation. But the next moment, a flying knife flew over with a sound of breaking wind. Regnar turned sideways to avoid it, but he also completely lost the chance to escape.

"Such a young boy?" The man looked at Regna in front of him in surprise.

Regnar stared at the man without saying a word, he was very nervous now. After all, the only life-and-death battles he has experienced were the Shadow Dragon and the Orcs twice. The first time was because the enemy was not strong and Kordak provided timely support in the end. The second time, his performance was surprisingly good, but Even now, he still doubts whether he was the one who killed those five orcs.

But now looking at the undisguised murderous intent in the man's eyes, Regnar knew that tonight would probably be a disaster. The two followers quickly followed. They looked at Regna warily, not at all moved by the fact that the enemy in front of them was a young man.

Regnar pulled out his flaming blade. Although he knew that he was outmatched, Regnar had no intention of surrendering. He looked at the three people in front of him coldly, and then took the lead in launching the attack.

Regnar suddenly aroused his fighting spirit, and the strong wind brought by level six fighting spirit made the three people present flash a flash of surprise in their eyes.

Regnar threw out three flying knives with fighting spirit in his left hand. Adding fighting spirit to the weapons is a fighting technique he has always used. However, after coming to the Eastern Continent, Kordak also made further changes to the way he used it. After reasonable adjustments, the flying knives he throws are now so powerful that they can almost penetrate the human body!

The three people dodged sideways at the same time, and the power of the young man's flying knife frightened them. The moment they dodged, Regnar took off again, but instead of pointing towards the skylight, he jumped towards the downstairs.

Regnar quickly judged the situation. It was impossible to escape through the skylight now. The only hope of escaping was to kidnap Pilder downstairs, so he did not hesitate the moment he threw the flying knife. Jumped to the first floor.

However, the three people present were all veterans who had experienced several battles. They were so rich in combat experience that they had already prepared a response when Regnar took off. When Regner jumped to the first floor, the man had already protected Pilder. After another moment of confusion, another follower quickly blocked the door. As a result, Regnar has been unable to fly.

The three of them didn't seem to care about Regner's identity at all. After surrounding him, they launched another attack without wasting a single word.

Four fighting qi of different strengths criss-crossed the room. Although Regner was agile, his flaws were quickly exposed under the siege of three enemies who were no weaker than him. A bloody mark had been drawn on his back. Fortunately, he avoided it in time, otherwise the blow just now could have cut off his arm.

Regnar was filled with fear and fear. He didn't expect that just performing a tracking mission would lead to death, but it was too late to say anything now. Those three people didn't give Regner any chance to explain. They just wanted to kill him. They were ruthless in every move and showed no mercy.

Regnar had more and more wounds on his body, but he still couldn't rush out of the house, and his mentality gradually became a little slack.

One of the followers saw the opportunity and suddenly burst out with his most powerful fighting spirit. He swung the long sword in his hand and slashed horizontally. Regnar waved his dagger to block. Although the Flame Blade was an enchanted weapon, its attack range was always too far. limited. Under the violent attacks of the three men, he had been in a passive dodge and defense posture. Seeing that he was no longer invincible, Regnar was extremely anxious.

The follower's horizontal slash was so fast that Regnar had no time to move his body. He was forced to pick up the dagger and use up his fighting energy to try to resist. But that follower was a sixth-level warrior, and his fighting spirit level was comparable to Regnar's, but how could the power contained in Regnar's tiny arms compare to him? Therefore, although Regnar tried his best to resist the blow, and even the opponent's long sword was cut off by the flaming blade, Regnar finally lost his balance because of this violent blow. This staggering backward allowed the other two enemies to seize the opportunity. The man immediately rushed forward in an attempt to give the boy a fatal blow.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from the man's head, and the man felt as if he had hit a wall, and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes. He felt his head was a little wet, and when he reached out to touch it, dark red blood was all over his hands.

The two followers also quickly discovered something strange about the man. They stopped attacking and looked at the man strangely, and then found that the door of the house had been opened at some point. Outside the door, a beautiful girl with icy blue hair stood looking at them expressionlessly.
