The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 54: The reward of the duel

Views:

When Regnar returned to the hotel, Kordak had already woken up, and Vera was chatting with him.

"You are really stupid," Kordak said mockingly as soon as he saw Regner's face. Apparently Vera told Kordak about his incomprehensible feelings just now.

"Didn't I think about it carefully..." Regnar scratched his head in embarrassment, and then added: "Didn't I make up for it later?"

"Oh?" Kordak and Vera were immediately interested. They both looked at Regna with gossipy eyes and asked, "How do you say that?"

"Didn't I send her home?" Regna replied in a daze.

"Then what?"

"Then... then I came back." Regnar said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, I'm talking about before coming back." Vera said impatiently.

"Before... didn't I send her home before..." Regnar said in confusion.

"Why is it so hard to talk to you? I'm talking about the way back!" Vera went crazy, then looked at Regna with a slightly expectant look and said: "Sister, I don't ask you to be smart, but... You see, you still know that a boy and a girl are walking on the road at night, chatting about their outlook on life, their ideals, and enhancing their relationship, right?"

"Ah?" Regnar said with an expression of "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Idiot! Mud can't hold up the wall!" Looking at Regner's expression, Vera and Kordak could only sigh that they hated iron.

"..." Regnar looked at the two of them with big eyes and couldn't say a word.

"Forget it, he doesn't have much hope anyway." Kordak saw that Regner looked ashamed and couldn't bear to say anything more. He thought for a moment, and then said in a serious tone: " Xiao Lei, I was joking with you just now, now I have a piece of advice to tell you."

"What?"

"That Annelotte... her background is not simple, you'd better not think too much about it." Kordak said after careful consideration.

Regnar nodded: "I know, boss, and I didn't think too much about it. It's just that she saved my life..."

"That might have a purpose." Kordak said with some self-deprecation. Did they have a purpose in rescuing Regnar

"All in all, I hope you can take some precautions against her." Kordak finally warned.

"..." Regnar remained silent and just nodded stiffly.

Seeing that Regnar did not accept his suggestion very much, Kordak could only helplessly shake his head.

Although this kid is a little wary of strangers, he still hasn't shed his innocence. He always has unreserved trust in anyone who wants to treat him better.

Kordak was very worried that Regnar would be taken advantage of because of his naivety. Now that Regnar couldn't listen to him, he couldn't say anything more. He could only be more cautious in secret and try not to let this happen. The new little brother suffered too much.

"Boss, are your injuries okay?" Regnar changed the subject.

"It's okay." Kordak moved his shoulders. The knife did not hit his heart. The priest's healing skills are also good. It is estimated that he will be cured in two or three days.

"So fast?" Regnar was surprised. He had also seen Kordak's wounds. Olwen's dagger could be said to have penetrated completely, cutting open the skin and flesh, and even damaging his internal organs with his fighting skills. And Kordak was able to recover in two or three days under the priest's healing technique

"Isn't it caused by the Fall of the Moon? I once tried it. I cut a cut on my hand with a knife and the wound was completely healed within five minutes." Kordak said with a smile.

"Then you can't just rely on the fall of the moon and turn around and leave during the duel? You are really looking for death!" Vera complained, she was really scared to death at the last moment.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Alvin to be so despicable." Kordak said sarcastically.

In fact, Kordak just didn't want the onlookers to think of him as a cold-blooded and murderous person like Alvin.

There were so many people watching at that time. If Kordak directly killed Alvin who could no longer resist, although it would not violate the duel rules, it would undoubtedly disgust some of the onlookers and make his The good reputation earned through years of hard work was damaged.

So, he left the choice to Alvin. If Alvin left, Kordak would naturally not stop him. He was not too worried that Alvin would seek revenge in the future.

Because after this duel, Kordak has completely figured out that Alvin is just a pervert who is strong on the outside but soft on the inside. Vera always follows him, so there is no danger. There is a faint shadow of the moon behind Regnar. The Thieves Guild, presumably they would not let their focus die in the hands of a small character like Alvin.

So Olwen let him go. And if Alvin takes action, then Kordak will justifiably kill this guy, not only solving a problem, but also earning a good reputation for himself, killing two birds with one stone.

According to Kordak's knowledge of Alvin, there was a 90% chance that this despicable man would make a sneak attack, so even though he had turned around, he was always on guard against the movement behind him.

But he didn't expect that Alvin would move so quickly that he almost lost his life for it. Fortunately, he took Moon Sinking and could still maintain his ability to move despite being seriously injured. Otherwise, Cole I'm afraid Dak is really doomed this time.

In the past, Kordak would not have taken the risk to seduce Alvin just for the sake of other people's opinions.

But since taking the Sunken Moon, although Kordak didn't reveal it too much, in fact he had a knot in his heart.

He knew that his life might not be long, and death would be the end of the world, but the remaining Vera and Regna would give him a headache.

Vera is usually fierce and strong, but she is always careless and not calm enough, and Regna... uh... I'd better not mention someone like this who is unreliable in picking up girls.

Silenos had already passed away before him. If he died again and left these two guys helpless to wander around in a dangerous world, Kordak would really feel uneasy.

So he was prepared to use all means to create a relatively mild environment for the two of them. And this reputation is one of them, to build a mercenary team with a good reputation, so that even if you die, the mercenary alliance and other mercenaries will take care of Vera and Regnar based on their former glory.

Secondly, there is money. Kordak was very confident in this duel, so he also placed all the bets on himself, but it was not the 580 gold coins mentioned before, but 800 gold coins.

Since Silenus died, Kordak, as the mercenary captain, took over all his belongings for safekeeping. In the past two days, he had pawned all the valuable relics of Silenos at the pawn shop behind the other two people's back. In addition to the gold coins left by Silenos, he collected an additional two hundred gold coins and packed them in the casino.

Although doing this is a bit sorry for Silenus, the deceased is gone, and he must always consider the living people in everything. Even if this matter is discovered, it may cause confusion or even anger between the two of them, but Kordak I will still choose to do this.

It has to be said that Kordak is actually very grateful to Olwen. He had a rough plan for all this when he provoked him, and Annelotte's help even gave him a pill. Reassurance.

Now Kordak not only killed Alvin and got rid of an enemy, but also gained recognition from more people as a person. He even made nearly two thousand gold coins through the casino, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Through this battle, Kordak made a lot of money. Such a huge harvest made him consider whether to start provoking people to invite duels every day in the future.

Vera originally wanted to complain about Kordak, but when she saw the strong man's pale face, she swallowed her words. Instead, she stiffly said some words of comfort.

Kordak also knew that Vera was not good at showing her gentle side, so she expressed her gratitude enthusiastically and never dared to say a word of ridicule.

Just kidding, now that he is seriously injured, if he still laughs at Vera like he did in the past, I am afraid that Vera might actually kill him by mistake when she is so angry.

Kordak stayed in bed in the hotel for the next two days to recuperate. He did not let Vera handle the gold coins won in the casino and the relics from the pawn shop. He felt that it was better to deal with these two matters by himself after the injury was healed, and it was better for Vera to keep it a secret.

But what makes Kordak feel strange is that Regnar is often away from the hotel due to guild duties, but Vera is also running around outside all the time. It seems that she has no idea that there is a sick person at home who needs to be taken care of, leaving her alone. Kordak, who was alone, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

In fact, Vera has been looking for information about treasures that can extend life for the past two days.

Ever since Annelotte's dinner reminder, a shadow had been hanging over her heart. Vera would go to see Kordak's condition every morning, as if she was afraid that this man would be missing when he woke up that morning. And fly.

And every time she saw Kordak's face, Vera became more determined to save his life, so these days Vera ran from dawn to dusk, almost all over the Falling Star City. She has appeared in casinos, black markets, shops, taverns, and major guild markets.

Kordak's injury healed soon after. After figuring out Vera's activities in the past few days, Kordak was deeply moved by this. He tried to dissuade Vera from taking her time and taking her time. But Vera did not slack off at all like crazy, and even had a quarrel with Kordak over this.

In desperation, Kordak could only give in to Vera's temper and pray that Vera could slowly get over this situation. While he himself had nothing to do, he went to the casino and retrieved 4,800 gold coins with interest, and also redeemed Silenos' relics. After that, Kordak, who was bored, could only move his muscles and bones every day, and then chattered at the pile of shining gold coins.
