Vera looked at the scenery outside the cave. The frozen snow-capped mountains at dusk always had a vast and majestic aura.
"How are you feeling after your injury? I was lucky enough to hit this thing again this afternoon." Kordak raised the snow rabbit in his hand.
"Fortunately, I can basically move around now." Vera said with a smile. Her face was rosy and she no longer looked as pale and weak as before.
If we count from the time we fell into the valley, this is already the third day. Thanks to Kordak's meticulous care in the past three days, Vera's injury recovered quickly. Now her wound has scabbed over and it looks like it will heal in a few days.
"We really did it!" Vera thought silently. At the beginning, Vera had almost no hope for herself that day.
Being seriously injured, lost in a snow-capped mountain valley, and suffering from low temperatures and harsh environment all made her feel that it was impossible for her to get out of the snow-capped mountains alive. Yes, Vera was very desperate that day, but Kordak was not desperate.
This man with thick lines has been taking care of her patiently for the past three days. He goes hunting every day, cleans her wounds every day, and racks his brains every day to make her happy and give her hope.
And now, a miracle finally happened. Although Regnar and Annelotte failed to find this place, her injuries have healed to some extent. It seems that she and Kordak will be able to find a way out in two days. Valley.
Kordak asked her to trust him, she agreed, and he did it. This time, they finally got through it again.
"Now, with another bottle of healing potion, you should be almost ready." Kordak took out a bottle of healing potion from his arms and handed it to Vera. His face was a little pale, and the hand holding the healing potion was trembling slightly.
"It seems that he is really exhausted these days." Vera looked at Kordak's face with unconcealable fatigue and thought silently in her heart. She reached out and took the healing potion and said casually: "Why do you carry so many healing potions with you? The money you spent on this purchase is enough for you to buy a few more bottles of genuine primary healing potions."
"Hey, were you greedy for cheap at that time? This thing was sold on the black market for fifty silver coins. A bottle of authentic primary healing potion cost ten gold coins, which was twenty times more expensive. I was thinking of buying more to take with me to be prepared. I forgot about it all the time, and I only found it out in the past two days, but I didn’t expect it to play a big role!” Kordak replied with a smile, and sat down on the stone next to Vera.
"But this stuff tastes too bad. It's fishy and has a little salty taste. It's not as sweet and sour as the real thing." Vera frowned. Kordak had given him the first taste in the past two days. Not only does the product have a mediocre therapeutic effect, but the taste is also extremely bad. This kind of thing is only worth fifty silver coins if it lasts.
But no matter what, this is a life-saving potion after all, so Vera complained and drank the healing potion in one gulp.
"It's good if it can save lives. You picked it up." Kordak put the empty bottle in his arms, then leaned against the wall and sighed deeply.
Vera looked at Kordak with a tired face and felt a little sorry. She moved her body and crawled into Kordak's arms like a kitten.
"Kordak..."
"Um?"
"This... you have worked hard these past few days." Vera said quietly, leaning on Kordak's broad chest.
"Hey, what's going on? Who of us is following whom? In business, I am the captain and I should take care of my team members. In private, you are my woman. As a man, I have to protect you no matter what." Korda Ke tried with a playful smile. This was the first time he had expressed his relationship with Vera, and he didn't know whether Vera would accept him.
"Bah! Who is your woman?" Vera spat lightly, her face already starting to heat up slightly.
Seeing that Vera did not deny it seriously, Kordak was very happy. He struck while the iron was hot and said: "Sooner or later, don't even think about running away!"
Vera felt Kordak's strong heartbeat, and realized that even men with thicker neural circuits can sometimes be nervous. She listened silently, the events of the past few months flashing through her mind one after another. Kordak, Regnar, Annelotte, Silenos, Eve…
"Thinking about Regnar?" Kordak vaguely guessed something when Vera didn't speak for a long time.
Vera nodded lightly and said, "Yeah, I don't know how Xiao Lei is doing now. I haven't seen him in the past three or four days. I'm worried that he may have encountered a snow troll..."
Kordak gently patted Vera's head and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Lei will be fine. Don't forget that this kid has killed several orcs single-handedly. Don't look at him cowering all day long. Yes, he is also a reliable person when it is really critical. Besides, Annelotte should be by his side now. With her here, it is absolutely impossible for anything to happen to Regnar."
Vera glanced at Kordak in surprise: "Usually you are always lukewarm towards Anne, why are you so confident in her now?"
"I just have too much confidence in her, so I'm lukewarm towards her." Kordak said helplessly.
"What's the meaning?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you, but just don't tell Xiao Lei." Kordak paused and said, "Actually, Annelotte is a member of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, and, according to my speculation, she is probably a senior member."
"What?" Vera was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that it didn't seem impossible.
"Do you know why I was able to defeat Alvin so easily? Because Annelotte gave me all the information about him, and I studied him thoroughly in those two days." Kordak explained.
"So that's it." Vera nodded, and then asked: "Then Anne is helping you anyway, why do you always have a bad attitude towards her?"
"She was actually just helping the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, because Alvin was also a cancer that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild wanted to get rid of, but they borrowed my hand to do it. I was indirectly used as a weapon by them, and they took advantage of it. In fact, it's still them." Kordak sneered.
In fact, Kordak was right, it was the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild that took advantage.
Well... to be more specific, it's Annelotte, because before the duel started, the girl spent 10,000 gold coins in the underground casino to win Kordak, and the original odds of 6 to 1 were changed to 5 to 1. …
Kordak thought he had made a lot of money, but in fact Annelotte was the biggest winner in that gamble. Poor Kordak thought he had made a good deal, but he still didn't know that Annelotte was secretly sneering at his triumphant face.
"This is not the most important thing... Although it is just my intuition, I always feel that the orc raid in Yesong Forest may also have something to do with her, or at least something to do with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild." Kordak continued: " Therefore, I have always felt that Silenos’s death had something to do with her, or that she knew something.”
"Silenos..." When she heard this name, Vera felt pain in her heart. The taciturn but attentive man had left them forever.
"It's been more than two months, right?" Vera sighed.
"Yeah, two months..." Kordak murmured, but not long after, his face became extremely ugly.
"Damn it! Two months!" Kordak suddenly pushed Vera up and stood up.
Vera was a little surprised by Kordak's sudden abnormality, but she quickly reacted. Because today is another full moon night!
"Damn it, no wonder I always feel a little weird tonight!" Kordak thought to himself. He quickly thought about it. Now that there was no rope to tie him up, he could only choose to separate the two of them temporarily.
He walked quickly to Vera, and gently touched Vera's slightly frightened little face: "Don't be afraid, there is still time. I will leave now, and you will stay here tonight. I will try my best to Run further away, I will come back by myself tomorrow, if I don’t come back after noon tomorrow, try to get some and use fire to make some smoke, I will find it myself and give you the fire."
Vera took the fire tremblingly, and she suddenly said: "Why don't I go out, you have been too tired these days, I have been awake, and I will definitely find a way back."
"No! You are injured now and can no longer run around in the wild! There is nothing to discuss about this matter!" Kordak rudely refused.
Vera wanted to say something else, but seeing that Kordak looked extremely determined, she opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
After Kordak explained everything, he held Vera in his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay. You'll be fine after tonight."
"Be careful, I'll wait for you." Vera said softly.
"I will be back, don't worry, I always keep what I say." Kordak glanced at Vera with a smile, and then walked out of the cave. Vera noticed from Kordak's footsteps that he seemed to be unable to control himself.
Dozens of minutes later, the werewolf's shrill howl resounded through the snow-capped mountains. Vera squatted in the corner of the cave and buried her head under her arms. She now felt a little uneasy.
The howling sounded continuously in the snow-capped mountains. Vera forced herself to calm down, thinking silently in her heart that as long as she got through tonight, she would be fine. But not long after, another powerful roar sounded from the other direction.
"Ouch!"
"Roar!"
The two monsters roared one after another, and judging from the direction, they were definitely approaching.
"Kordak... Kordak!" Vera could no longer restrain her worry about Kordak, and walked out of the cave and ran in the direction of the sound.
The roars of the two monsters finally overlapped, and became more and more deafening, mixed with the whine of injury, which made Vera feel like a knife.
"Quick! Faster!" The snow on the snow-capped mountains is more than a foot deep. Vera's wound has just healed. Running on the snow feels extremely difficult, and if she is not careful, the wound is in danger of bursting.
But she didn't care about any of this now, because the roars of the two monsters gradually weakened, and it seemed that the battle was almost decided.
The roaring sound was very close, and Vera couldn't help but speed up her pace again, but when she rushed to the scene, the scene in front of her made her vision go dark and she almost fainted.
