The crowd of onlookers exploded in an instant. There was no doubt that anyone who was not blind could see that Kordak had won the duel just now.
Although this is supposed to be a life-and-death duel, if the victor is determined to let his opponent survive, there is nothing wrong with it.
But the problem lies precisely here. A life-and-death duel will determine the outcome in two situations. One is that if one party dies, the duel ends. The other is a situation like Kordak, where the dominant side completely suppresses the opponent, and then the notary confirms that the dominant side wins and the duel ends.
Although Kordak completely suppressed his opponent, the notary of the Mercenary Alliance did not have time to announce the result of the duel, which meant that the duel was not over at this time. Therefore, Olwen did not violate the rules of dueling when he got up and made a sneak attack at this time, but the onlookers were despised by his despicable behavior.
"Despicable villain, how can there be a scum like you in Falling Star City!"
"Shameless, Kordak was kind enough to let you live, but you actually launched a sneak attack!"
"Go away! Falling Star City cannot tolerate a shameless person like you!"
After seeing Alvin's despicable behavior, the crowd suddenly burst into shouts and curses, but they also knew the rules. The duel was not over yet, and they could not step forward to make any move at this time.
"Damn it, that scumbag Alvin!" Regnar's face darkened instantly.
Vera was also very angry. She didn't understand why Kordak would take it lightly at the last moment. She took off her bow and arrow, ready to break the duel rules and shoot Alvin at any time.
"The duel is not over yet! Are you ready to leave so unprepared?" Alvin said sarcastically. He knew that it was over. No matter whether he lost or won this duel, he would probably never be seen again in Falling Star City in the future. a place. Now that he has reached such a situation, Olwen naturally chose a path to darkness. At least Kordak, this guy, must not be allowed to live anymore.
"..." Kordak spat out a mouthful of blood and muttered softly.
"Is there anything else you want to say before you die? Don't worry, I will definitely dig out your heart and brew it into wine." Olwen slightly stirred the dagger in his hand, while imagining the pain Kordak was suffering at this time. The feeling made him almost tremble with excitement.
While stabbing Kordak with the dagger, he used his fighting spirit to damage Kordak's body. This is one of his fighting skills. Although it may not necessarily destroy his organs, it can very well restrain his opponent. Without his amazing physical strength and recovery power, Kordak would have just closed his eyes and waited to die.
He pulled out his dagger and took a few steps back, preparing to give Kordak the final blow.
Kordak's two-handed sword fell to the ground with a clang, and his trembling body looked like he would fall down at any time.
"Then, goodbye." Alvin calmed down his breath slightly, and then rushed towards Kordak whose back was turned to him again.
But at the moment Alvin acted, Kordak also started his own action. He suddenly pulled out Regnar's flaming blade from his waist, and then quickly twisted around and waved it in front of Alvin's shocked eyes. dagger.
Olwen's stomach burst instantly under the sharp blade of the Flame Blade, and his internal organs flowed out like overturned gruel.
The vitality quickly disappeared from the body. Olwen could not understand why Kordak could fight back even though his body was severely injured. But in the end, he could only look at the world for the last time unwillingly, and then collapsed. In a pool of blood.
"I didn't expect that I would be saved by the Fall of the Moon again." Kordak thought with a wry smile. He looked at Regna and Vera who were running towards him quickly. The one next to him seemed to be Annelotte? But he couldn't see clearly. His serious injuries and massive loss of physical strength made his consciousness blurred.
Kordak took two steps with difficulty, and then found that his vision gradually became darker. Finally, the sky and the earth seemed to spin, and in the end, all he could see was darkness.
Annelotte pushed away Vera who was in a hurry, and then calmly recited a spell and used magic to check Kordak's injury.
After a moment, Annelotte glanced at Kordak in surprise, then nodded and said, "Luckily, it only hurt his lungs. If the dagger had been deflected by two centimeters, it would have cut his heart."
Regnar took out the healing potion that he had prepared long ago, and then worked with Vera on emergency treatment of Kordak's wounds.
Annelotte looked at Kordak's wound from the side, and then she was a little surprised to find that the wound was healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
After completing the emergency treatment of Kordak, the Mercenary Alliance also enthusiastically sent people to send Kordak back to the Brilliant Star. After that, Vera also invited a mid-level priest who had been invited in advance. After paying ten gold coins for the priest to treat him, Kordak was finally out of danger. Until this time, he had been busy all day. The two of them finally had time to rest.
Since Annelotte also helped a lot today, Vera also enthusiastically invited her to have dinner with her.
"Thanks to Anne today, come on, this drink is my thank you to you." Although Vera is not a particularly good drinker, she still has no problem having a few drinks with Annelotte.
"I... I don't know how to drink." Annelotte hesitated.
"Oh, it's okay, come on, come on, have two drinks and try it, if it doesn't work, say no more." Vera enthusiastically handed the wine glass to Annelotte.
Since there were two women present, Vera did not order Kordak's favorite drink, Embrace of Fire, but chose a fruit wine with a refreshing taste.
But even the fruit wine, which was as light as a drink, made Annelotte hesitate when she came into contact with it for the first time. Her ice-blue eyebrows frowned slightly, but relaxed after a moment. Apparently, her first impression of wine wasn't bad.
Regnar drank a large glass of wine from the side. He was still thirsty after working so hard. In his opinion, this light fruit wine was no different from juice.
It is worth mentioning that despite his small stature, Regner is surprisingly good at drinking. Although his drinking capacity is not as good as Kordak's, he is second only to him in the team. Even Silenos is not his opponent.
"Wine, you have to drink a lot to be happy." Seeing that Annelotte was drinking coyly, Regnar took the lead in giving a demonstration and then said with a hint of encouragement.
Annelotte looked at the purple-red liquid in the cup, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Regnar's example and drank it in one gulp.
A touching blush instantly appeared on Annelotte's face, and her originally frayed face looked particularly beautiful against the two blushes. Although her face still had that cold expression, the sudden appearance of two colors made this beautiful girl's face even more breathtaking.
Regnar stared directly at Annelotte. Although he had been in contact with her a lot these days, he still had not developed any resistance to Annelotte's beauty. He didn't wake up until Vera stepped on him hard and gave him a big eye roll.
"I have something to ask you." Although Annelotte's face was slightly red, she didn't seem to notice anything wrong. Neither her expression nor her tone had changed at all.
"You say it, you say it." Regnar had an expression on his face that said he knew everything.
Annelotte was silent for a moment and then said: "Has Kordak taken the Fall of the Moon?"
Regna and Vera were slightly startled, and then looked at each other.
After a long time, Vera sighed and said, "Now that Annie has joined our team, we shouldn't hide anything from you. Yes, he did take Moonfall."
Annelotte nodded, she felt a little strange when Kordak was seriously injured but still killed Alvin with his backhand. Alvin's fighting skills could be said to be invincible before, but they failed at Kordak's side. After seeing his ridiculous recovery speed, Annelotte also had a guess in her mind.
"Then... Anne, you..." Vera asked tentatively. She was not sure whether Annelotte would quit the team because of Kordak.
Annelotte shook her head knowingly: "Don't worry, Kordak is a very good captain, and I won't quit easily just because of this. However, the potion of Sunken Moon not only gives people the ability to regenerate It can also eat away at a person's vitality. When I was checking his injuries, I accidentally discovered that his life potential was running low."
"What?" Vera was a little disbelieving. When he was in the Elf Tribe, he knew that the sinking of the moon might shorten a person's life, but he didn't expect Kordak's condition to be so serious.
"Five years at most." Annelotte thought for a while and said.
"Impossible! Kordak is so strong, how could he only have less than five years left to live!" Vera did not want to agree with Annelotte's words.
"Please don't be anxious. Although he only has five years left to live, this time is enough for us to find a way to make up for it." Annelotte motioned to Vera to calm down.
"What can I do?" Vera asked quickly.
"..." Annelotte shook her head: "I don't know yet, but there are many treasures that enhance human vitality. As long as we inquire carefully, we can always find some clues."
"Really..." Vera also knew that Kordak's problem could not be solved overnight. She tried her best to calm down, and at the same time made up her mind to inquire more about related matters in the future.
"Annie, your teacher is a high-level mage. Does he have any treasures that can prolong life?" Regnar suddenly asked.
"I'm sorry, my teacher has been out for a long time, and I don't know when he will come back. As for his treasure, I have no way of finding it myself." Annelotte made up a reason casually.
"That's it." Regnar wasn't too disappointed. He had known for a long time that Annelotte's teacher was not in Falling Star City, so he just asked casually. Besides, Kordak's character probably wouldn't be able to give someone a gift for no reason. Will accept.
The atmosphere at the dinner that followed seemed a bit low. Annelotte just wanted to remind them of it in a friendly way, but she didn't expect that it made both of them a little uneasy. This made the girl feel a little sorry, so she didn't hesitate when Vera and Regna toasted during dinner. When she finished eating, she found that she was actually a little drunk.
"Hey, Xiao Lei, go and send Annie back, otherwise she, a girl, may be in danger at home at night." Vera also knew a little about Regna's little thoughts, so she wanted to help him.
"Oh, who dares to provoke her, an eleventh-level mage? Even if I encounter any trouble, she is the only one who can protect me." Regnar didn't think much about it, and he immediately pointed out the unreasonableness of Vera's arrangement.
"Go if you are told, don't you dare disobey me!" Seeing that her good intentions were ignored by Regna, Vera suddenly became angry and slapped Regna on the back of the head. Kicked him out.
Regnar touched the aching back of his head and felt a little dizzy, but due to Vera's power, he could only follow Annelotte out of the hotel obediently.
