The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 621: The violent death of the king

"What happened after I killed Nidhogg?" Regnar then asked.

"..." Alexander was silent for a moment and said, "It's nothing. You fell into a coma after killing Nidhogg, and then Soul Killer used fixed-point teleportation to bring all of you back."

"Fixed point teleportation?" Regnar was stunned.

"A type of shadow magic." Alexander shrugged: "In addition to being an assassin, Zhu Hun also studies some shadow magic."

"It's a pity for his two brothers." Regnar sighed. The two guys, God-killing and Heart-killing, were instantly killed by Nidhogg as soon as they took action. If the three brothers were both skilled in combat, it would be considered a good thing. Three talents.

Alexander did not speak. He did not tell Regnar that in fact, Larvin had lied to him. The so-called God-killing, Heart-killing, and Soul-killing were actually not three brothers at all, but just one person. Zhushen and Zhuxin are just shadow clones created by Zhuhun using shadow magic. This is a secret technique unique to the Hawke Empire Palace Supervision Office.

Of course, in fact, it doesn't matter to Regner how to kill the soul. If Alexander conceals it, he will conceal it, not to mention... Alexander conceals too many things.

"Speaking of which, how long have I been unconscious?" Regnar asked again.

"Five days, counting from the day you assassinated Nidhogg, it has been five days." Alexander replied.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense to him, we should leave." Joffrey seemed unwilling to stay in this cell longer.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I do have a lot of things to deal with recently." Alexander also bowed his head slightly to apologize, and seemed to be planning to leave.

"Let me go after three days." Regnar waved his hand impatiently and told them to get out. What Regner didn't understand was, since when did the relationship between Alexander and Joffrey become harmonious

But for the previous problems of the two brothers, Regnar has never been too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he has already made plans. When he is released, he will leave the Hawke Empire with Annelotte and the others. Of course, he must make sure before leaving. To extort money from Ralphin. Then, as agreed with Annelotte before, we will go to the Dark Territory to look for traces of Malolite.

As for what to do after finding it... Regnar was lying on the bed in the cell, thinking happily, what will he do after finding it? Where should I go? Regarding the question of whether to stay or go, Regnar almost couldn't help but think of going home.

In fact, everyone has a different definition of home. In Regner's view, a home may not be very luxurious, but it must be very habitual to live in. It is a habit of having a bedroom, a living room, and how many tables there are in the living room. What's more important is that there should be people at home, people whom you are familiar with and like. Therefore, the home that Regnar defined was neither the slum in Melinder where he suffered from hunger and cold all day long, nor the large mansion that the empire assigned him to live in now. The former's material life cannot keep up, while the latter's life has too many intrigues and intrigues, and his spiritual life cannot keep up.

In the end, Regnar himself came to a conclusion that surprised him: the most ideal home in his heart was actually the Brilliant Star Tavern in Falling Star City. That's where it all began for him, and where he gained countless cherished people: Annelotte, Kordac, Vera. What kind of beautiful scene would it be if we returned there now, with Erin and Enelise by our side

Regnar couldn't help but grinned when he thought of this. It's great, my future life is decided like this. Find Malolite, then return to Falling Star City, buy the tavern, Annelotte will be the proprietress, Irene will be the beautiful cook, and Inelise will be the head maid. Then he would bask in the sun every day and enjoy the envious and jealous looks from the single customers when they saw his perfect match in the harem. They usually sit together with Kordak, drink wine and brag, but occasionally when they are bored, they can go out and act as a mercenary, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. Damn it, life in the future is simply not going to be too good!

Regnar just grinned and fell asleep, but that night, another visitor suddenly arrived.

"Miss, you can't go in." Regnar heard the voice of the jailer outside. As an assassin, Regnar maintained a certain level of vigilance even when sleeping.

"Get out of the way!" Regnar was a little surprised when he heard this voice. He knew who the voice was, but why did she come so late

"This is His Highness the Prince's will." The jailer still insisted.

Then Regnar heard the sound of sword drawing and sword dancing. After a few short seconds, the man continued: "Don't force me to use force. You should know that you are no match for me. In my capacity, even if you kill It’s no big deal if I kill you.”

"Yes..." The jailer finally gave in.

"Also, don't tell anyone about this, or I'll kill you too." The man then took back his weapon.

The door was pushed open as expected. When Regnar saw that the person was wearing a hood, and his whole body was almost wrapped in shadow, he couldn't help but smile: "You girl, why are you wearing such a tight bag to see me?"

"Are you still in the mood to joke now?" The visitor took off his hood, revealing soft pink hair: "Do you know that you are in trouble now?"

"Me?" Regnar looked at his shackles and said with a wry smile and sarcasm: "What can I do now? That bitch Alexander just locked me up here and said he would release me in two days. He killed me. I said you have to take good care of him in the future, otherwise he might get on top of you at some point."

"Listen, things are not as simple as you think." Lisanna obviously didn't have time to joke with Regnar. She stared at Regnar for a moment and then said, "Looking at you, it seems like you don't know anything. Know?"

"Know? What do you know?" Regnar was stunned. He had never seen such a serious Lisanna.

"Your Majesty Larvin is dead." Lisanna whispered.

"What did you say?!" Regnar's pupils shrank, and he asked in a trembling voice: "He's dead, how did he die?"

"I don't know. I heard that he died suddenly the night we assassinated him." Lisanna's eyes showed a little sadness when she spoke. It was obvious that although she was not familiar with Larvin, she had decided to pay attention to him. This is my future father-in-law.

"Sudden death?!" Regnar was suddenly shocked. He thought of Nidhogg's previous spellcasting when he was about to die. Could it be that Larvin's death was the result of Nidhogg's spell? But what's the point? Before Nidhogg died, he always said that he did all this for himself, but what does Larvin's death have to do with him? After all, Ralphin is not his father, or is Regnar the illegitimate son of Ralphin? This is too bloody!

Regnar thought in silence for a while, and finally decided to conceal the matters related to Nidhogg first, and then asked: "What else?"

"And..." Lisanna hesitated, then said, "You must first make sure you stay calm."

"Okay." Regnar took a deep breath to calm down. He had a vague premonition of something bad, but he couldn't figure out what could go wrong.

"Anne, Irene, and Ini..." Lisanna said, "They are all under house arrest at the First Academy of Magic by Joffrey."

"Joffrey, this bastard!" Regnar gritted his teeth, but he still tried his best to calm down. He also understands now that impulsiveness is useless. He asked in a low voice: "Why are they under house arrest?"

"It is said that it is because they are dissatisfied with your imprisonment." Lisanna replied: "Sorry, I only woke up three days ago. A lot of things happened after I woke up, and I still can't find a clue. But I I feel that all this may be detrimental to you, so I wanted to come over and warn you in advance.”

"Thank you." Regnar thanked him seriously. To be honest, among this group of young people, if there is anyone who is as grateful as a mountain to Regnar, then it must be Lisanna. This girl saved Regnar several times with her intuition and kindness.

"Now, what else can I do to help you?" Although Lisanna brought this information to Regnar, she was unable to judge the situation. The only one who could make a decision at this time was Regnar.

"If possible, can you find a way to let me out?" Regnar asked quietly.
