In the next two days, Regner stayed at Annelotte's house to recover from his injuries. Because he had told Kordak before that he would go on duty at the guild, Kordak and the two were not surprised that Regner did not come back.
In addition, Regnar did not want Kordak to know about his injury, lest Kordak worry and delay his duel with Alvin.
The idea of inviting him to stay was first proposed by Annelotte, which made Regnar look at this cold girl differently. He did not expect that Annelotte actually had a delicate and passionate side.
But later he discovered that he was wrong. Annelotte's invitation to stay at home to recuperate was certainly delicate, but the enthusiasm was completely out of the question. Although the girl was not as taciturn as Silenos, she was rarely as taciturn as Korda. Ke and Vera were having meaningless chats like that. If there was nothing to do, she wouldn't say a word to Reginald, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Although Annelotte did not show the enthusiasm that a master should have, it must be said that the healing medicine she gave was quite good. These gray-white powders were probably the secret masterpiece of an alchemist, and their healing effects were comparable to those of a priest. Secondary healing technique!
The seven or eight stab wounds on Regnar's body formed scars on the first day under the influence of the medicinal powder. The scars completely fell off on the second day, revealing the new pink tender flesh.
The next night, because he was worried about Kordak's decisive battle tomorrow, Regnar said goodbye to Annelotte after confirming that his injury was almost healed, and returned to the bright stars alone.
That night, Regner and Vera talked with Kordak for a long time. In short, they wanted to ensure that the duel was foolproof. Whether they could defeat Alvin was secondary, but Kordak must be safe and so on.
For this reason, Kordak seemed confident, because Annelotte had already sent him detailed information about Olwen.
Although Annelotte's words successfully hid Regnar, and even Vera did not have much doubt about it, there was no way to hide all this from the sophisticated Kordak.
Annelotte also seemed very candid about this. She had a secret conversation with Kordak in the afternoon of the day she joined the team. Not only did she admit that she was from the Moonshadow Thieves Guild, but she also prepared an intelligence report on Alvin. To Kordak.
"Alvin is also from your guild, why do you want to help me?" Kordak asked with some confusion at the time.
"I must admit that he has very good execution skills, but his bloodthirsty and crazy personality makes him too uncontrollable. The guild doesn't like things that are uncontrollable. If you don't like it, there's nothing wrong with getting rid of it. Not good," Annelotte replied.
Kordak's eyes flashed: "Get rid of him if he can't be controlled? Including Regnar?"
"You can guess for yourself." Annelotte left an ambiguous answer and turned to leave.
…
Early the next morning, a lot of people gathered at the east gate of Meteor City.
In the past two days, the news that Kordak and Olwen were going to duel in front of the east gate had been rumored in the city. Although the four major forces or some large chambers of commerce did not pay any attention to this, the duel between the two became the focus of discussion in private casinos.
Kordak, an eighth-level warrior, has been fighting as a mercenary with Silenos since he appeared in Falling Star City eight years ago. Because of his forthright personality and superb task execution ability, he is well-received in the mercenary alliance, and because of his inseparable relationship with Silenos, some people once called them the "Meteor Mercenary Duo".
With Kordak's strength, being the captain of a mercenary team is really a bit humiliating. The Mercenary Alliance has extended an olive branch several times to try to win over Kordak and make him a member of the Mercenary Alliance.
But Kordak rejected him every time on the grounds that he was "used to being undisciplined and didn't like to be restrained." Originally, the Mercenary Alliance thought that Kordak felt that the terms he offered were not generous enough, but after promising to hand over a mercenary squadron to him but still being rejected, the Mercenary Alliance also understood that Kordak was not pretending to shirk. Finally gave up this heart.
It's just that Kordak has always been famous, and the Mercenary Alliance also attaches great importance to his connections among mercenaries, so the Mercenary Alliance has always taken a lot of care of Kordak.
On the other hand, although Alvin is not as popular as Kordak, his popularity is even higher than Kordak. Alvin is a ninth-level assassin and a member of the Assassination Department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. He occasionally takes on some assassination missions in the Mercenary Alliance to earn extra money. What made Olwen famous was the "Brisonis Incident" a year ago.
Brisonis is the deepest stronghold built by the Hawke Empire in the Western Continent in the Eastern Continent.
Since most of the residents of the Eastern Continent are exiles from the original Western Continent, humans in the Eastern Continent do not have any good feelings towards those imperial forces. The two parties have had numerous large and small conflicts in the Silver Moon Forest and the Piro Plain east of the Silver Moon Forest. The most recent large-scale conflict was the "Brisonis Incident".
Although there have been constant conflicts between the East and the West, it has not hindered private trade.
But the Lord of Brisonis Outpost was a ruthless and greedy man. He once seized a large amount of supplies from the Pound Chamber of Commerce, which made the Pound Chamber of Commerce urgently need goods to solve their urgent needs. They paid to hire the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild to assassinate the hateful lord. The person who performed this task at that time was Alvin.
Killing an opponent of the same level is not a very difficult thing.
But Olwen sneaked into the lord's mansion without the guards noticing, and managed to kill the guy without any sound under the layers of tight guards.
Although no one knows the specific process, it can be seen just from Brisonis' reaction in those few days that the lord did die neatly that night.
Since then, Alvin has become famous, and his own perverted and twisted desires have only expanded with his fame.
Relying on the evil reputation he left among Brisonis, Olwen could almost be said to have committed all kinds of evil: because he fell in love with a farmer's daughter, Olwen sneaked into the farmer's house in the middle of the night and not only raped the girl , and also killed all the people afterwards to silence them. He tortured and killed the little beggar in Meteor City just because he wanted to satisfy his perverted bloodthirst. He raped the shop owner's young daughter, but was accidentally caught by Kordak, who ruined his good deeds. Since then, Kordak has been targeted by this biting snake.
Although Alvin is a perverted madman, no one can deny that he hides it well. He has committed countless crimes, but the Meteor City Security Team has been unable to convict him every time due to insufficient evidence. But these crimes only increased Alvin's reputation, making almost no one in Falling Star City dare to provoke this perverted killer.
Today, the famous Kordak of the Mercenary Alliance will have a life-and-death duel with the notorious Alvin of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. This immediately attracted the attention of the mercenaries and many ordinary people in Meteor City.
Most people here support Kordak. Whether they are mercenaries who have a good relationship with Kordak or ordinary people who are afraid of the perverted demon, they all hope that Kordak can eliminate this harm to Meteor City.
But there are still many people who support Alvin. Most of them are criminals with some twisted psychology. There is no doubt that Alvin's superb criminal skills have made him a model among his peers. Many people once regarded him as a model. Some of the cases he committed are studied as textbooks, and Alvin has become an idol in the hearts of these people.
Although the public's support rate is not low, it has to be said that almost everyone still thinks that Kordak is not Alvin's opponent. After all, he is the assassin who killed Lord Brisonis. This leader sounds like Biko Erdak is much better.
"Boss, why did you ask me for money last night?" Regnar originally thought that Kordak asked him for money to buy some equipment for today's duel, so he gave it to Kordak without hesitation.
But today he looked at Kordak's outfit and found that it was not much different from before, so he was curious about what Kordak did with the money.
"What are you doing? Hehe, of course you are going to make a fortune!" Kordak said mysteriously.
"Huh?" Vera and Regnar looked at each other. Kordak had borrowed all of Vera's savings the day before yesterday, and now neither of them understood what Kordak was doing with that money. What.
"Do you know what the odds are for me to win in underground casinos now?" Kordak said proudly.
"Huh?" Vera and Regnar looked at each other again. They gradually had a bad guess in their minds, but neither of them said it out.
"You pay five for one! Five for one!! Those ignorant guys don't even think much of me. Humph, this time I put all the three of us and the team's public funds on me, a total of five hundred and eighty gold coins. . Hehe, do the math, today we can earn a total of 2,900 gold coins, hahahaha, we are rich, hahahaha!!!!" Kordak became more and more proud as he talked, and in the end he even laughed out loud. .
Although Kordak was smiling brightly, Vera and Regner's faces turned dark as ink after hearing this.
"NND, are you going to gamble with the gold coins that I have worked so hard to save? I don't see the need for Olwen to fight you, I will just kill you." Vera angrily twisted Kordak's ear. At 180 degrees, Kordak screamed in pain and almost somersaulted following Vera's hand.
"Give me back the money, or I'll put up big-character posters at the door of the tavern and throw paint at you!" Regnar on the side was also jumping on his feet and refused to let go. Although he had just joined the mercenaries, he only had a dozen gold coins in savings. , but this poor dog saw so much money for the first time in more than ten years of his life.
Originally, for the sake of Kordak's life, he gritted his teeth and sent them all away, but he never expected that Kordak would use his money to gamble.
Ever since Kordak told them about the gambling, the sound of curses, moans, beatings, and slaps had never stopped as the three of them walked to the east gate. When everyone saw the dying Kordak being tortured by Vera and Regnar, they were all glad that they had made the right bet. Quan Sheng may not be able to defeat his opponent, so how can he fight Alvin with his appearance
"Are you here? I thought you packed up your bed and left because you were afraid." Alvin said with a sinister smile after seeing Kordak.
