"No!" Regnar shook his head. Although Kordak suggested that he should not be an enemy of Alfred, and although Kordak could swallow this breath, Regna could not. That Alfred not only tortured Vera into such a miserable state, but also almost made Kordak and his brothers turn against each other, and even made Manhattan and Lanmire missing.
If Regnar was incompetent, it would be easier to persuade him, but he is now the director of the Empire's Military Intelligence Department, and he is also on good terms with Alexander, the second prince of the Empire. Although his status on the surface was not as good as Alfred's, if Regnar had his heart, he would not be able to defeat Alfred.
"Well, I know that with your character, no matter what I say, I can't persuade you now..." Kordak was a little helpless. He pressed Regnar's shoulder with one hand and said seriously: "But Remember, you must be careful. No matter what happens, you must put your own life and Annie's life first. If there is really danger, you can even run away."
"Don't worry, boss, I will take care of myself!" Regnar assured with a grin.
"Vera and I will lay some more foundations in Lance Continent. If you can escape from here, or have nowhere to retreat, just come to us." Kordak said with a grin: "I I plan to open a tavern with Vera in a small town, and then it will be no problem for you to eat and drink for free!"
"Then you have to expand your business!" Regnar couldn't help but find it interesting when he heard what Kordak said. He joked: "Besides me, there is Annie..."
"What does it have to do with me!" This was the second sentence Annelotte said to Regnar.
Regnar ignored Annelotte's protest and continued: "Irene, Yi Ni, and..."
"And what?!" This time, not only Inelise and Irene, but even Annelotte became nervous unconsciously.
as well as? What do you want? You won’t bring any men with you, right? Definitely not! Well, besides men, there are women in this world, so as soon as Regnar said "and", it aroused the alertness of three women, including Annelotte.
But Annelotte's vigilance was clearly inappropriate, so Irene and Inelise suddenly turned their heads: "Oh~~!"
"What are you doing?!" Annelotte blushed at the strange voices of the two girls.
"Sister Anne, it's okay for us to be nervous. Sister Anne, why are you nervous?" Inelise smiled ambiguously.
"Hmph!" Annelotte tried to look angry, but this couldn't scare Inelise at all. Regnar was grinning and scratching the back of his head like an idiot, looking like he had picked up thousands of gold coins.
"You!" This was the third sentence Annelotte said to Regnar.
"Okay, okay..." Kordak saw that Annelotte was on the verge of breaking out, so he quickly asked these reckless guys to restrain themselves.
As a man who had fought face-to-face with Annelotte, Kordak only now knew how terrifying Annelotte's strength was. A mage whose level was only one level higher than his own stood there without moving a step, and he did not use any attack spells. Under so many conditions, an ordinary mage would die under Kordak's giant lava blade in just ten minutes.
But Annelotte managed to withstand Kordak's violent attack for nearly half an hour. Not only that, she didn't even suffer too many injuries under such a violent attack! This kind of strength is a bit scary...
Therefore, Kordak, who knew how terrifying the Frost Maiden was, did not want Annelotte to be angry at this time. The other people seemed to know not to push Annelotte too hard. They quickly restrained their expressions and tried hard to shake their facial muscles to show a serious look.
"Humph!" Annelotte also knew that they must still be laughing at her in their hearts, but now it was just when Kordak was about to leave, so naturally she would not get angry casually.
"Annie." Kordak had a few last words to say to Annelotte. He pulled Annelotte aside, and then the two of them whispered something.
Regnar originally wanted to hear it, so he leaned over there as if nothing happened, and then stretched his neck. But Annelotte suddenly turned her head. She glared at Regnar like an angry little leopard, and then cast a silent barrier without thinking.
"..." Regnar was speechless.
In this way, Regnar didn't know what Kordak finally told Annelotte. But looking at Annelotte's appearance, although this girl's face gradually turned red and there was still a bit of anger on her face, she finally opened her mouth and said something reluctantly, seemingly agreeing.
Finally, Kordak finally showed a relieved smile after receiving Annelotte's promise.
"With this girl's guarantee, this brat will definitely be fine!" Kordak thought to himself.
Then, Kordak and the others exchanged a few simple greetings, but because Kordak needed to escape from Melinder while the guards were changing, they couldn't talk any more nonsense.
In this way, Regnar said goodbye to his eldest brother on this dark night. He thought he could settle things here quickly and reunite with Kordak again. But Regner didn't expect that this farewell would almost become an eternal farewell between the two of them.
…
While feeling the strength of Inelise's little hand on his shoulder, Regnar sat in a chair and thought quietly. Not many people knew about Kordak, even Alfred. Knowing he was replaced by a nobody. As for where Kordak went, he probably didn't know.
If this is the case, then Kordak and the two of them should not be in any danger. He didn't even use Military Intelligence to arrange anything for Kordak along the way. He just gave Kordak a space pocket containing 10,000 gold coins. As long as they have money, Kordak and the two can go wherever they want.
Now, judging by the time, Kordak should be almost at Coder Harbor.
…
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Kordak suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up almost as a reflex, and then stared at the wooden door of the room.
"Who is it?" Kordak asked nonchalantly while holding the long sword beside him tightly. The giant lava blade had been confiscated by the Hawke Empire. Now he could only temporarily buy better goods on the road. Use it.
Vera had also sat up. She also touched the weapons from the side of her bed, which were several well-made throwing knives.
Tuk-tuk-tuk…
The person who knocked on the door didn't answer, but knocked on the wooden door again.
"Who?" Kordak got out of bed and stood up. He winked at Vera and was about to go over and open the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk…
People outside still knocked on the door, although this silent approach was a bit suspicious. However, Kordak felt from the strength and frequency of knocking on the door that the person outside did not seem to be nervous at all. There are only two explanations for this. The first is that the person who came has no ill intentions towards them, and the second is that the person outside has a very strong psychological quality.
Kordak hid his long sword behind the door, and then opened the door awkwardly with his left hand.
When the door opened, Kordak's heart suddenly rose to his throat, because this man was wearing a hood and his entire head was hidden in the shadow of the hood!
But before Kordak could make any move, the person waved his hand. He gently pulled up his hood, and then let the faint firelight from the corridor illuminate a small part of his face.
"!!!" After seeing the face of the visitor, Kordak looked even more shocked, but Vera also clearly felt that Kordak's nervousness also disappeared.
"Come in," Kordak whispered, and then he opened the door and let the visitor in.
Kordak closed the door gently, then turned around and knelt down to the man without hesitation: "Kordak meets General Manhattan!"
"General?" Vera also called out softly in surprise, and then without hesitation, she also quickly knelt down facing Manhattan.
"Get up quickly, I'm not a general now, why do you need to be so polite to me?" The visitor took off his hood, and the bright moonlight shone on his face through the curtains. It was Manhattan!
"No!" Kordak replied without hesitation: "The general has been very kind to me and Vera. Without your help, we would not have been able to escape this disaster. So, in Kordak From my perspective, you will always be my general and my savior, Kordak!"
"Okay, okay." Manhattan smiled. He stretched out his hand to help the two of them up, and then said, "I will help you. That's what Lanmire girl means."
"I wonder where Miss Lanmir is now?" Vera asked proactively. Lanmir has paid so much for herself and Kordak, so naturally she can no longer argue jealously with Lanmir.
"She's at Cord Harbor, just not in this hotel." Manhattan sighed: "That girl seemed to have calculated that you would arrive here, so she waited for you here with me. I didn't expect that she actually did!"
"General, what are your plans?" Kordak was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"What else can we plan?" Manhattan didn't bother to cover up. He glanced at Vera and then said bluntly: "That girl somehow identified you. Just tell me if you are willing." Accept her?"
"This..." Kordak was hesitant. Lanmire and Manhattan were so kind to him that he had no right to refuse. Besides, if he said he had no feelings for Lanmire, he wouldn't even believe it. But now there is Vera standing next to Kordak. Do you want to accept another woman in front of her
"Kordak." This time Vera spoke first. She looked at Kordak who didn't know what to do, and then at Manhattan who looked indifferent, and then said: "Let's go together! "
