"These are three very crucial questions." Villes nodded: "I don't think there is much suspense about the first question. According to Balor's own description, Vera gave up Balor in order to survive. This directly led to him having to face an enemy who was much more powerful than himself. Having been betrayed by such a person, I think it is understandable that Balor would not see her again."
"Sister Vera is not that kind of person." Regnar suddenly blushed and argued loudly: "She has been repenting for her behavior in the past seven years, so sir, please speak up when you mention him. Don’t use that contemptuous tone.”
Villes was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Regnar, who had always been humble and gentle from the beginning until now, would get angry at this time. As the highest authority of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, few people would speak to him in this tone, which made him uncomfortable for a while.
Regnar seemed to realize that his tone was a bit disrespectful, so he lowered his head in a dignified manner, but he was not prepared to apologize because he felt that once he apologized, he would be agreeing with Velez's evaluation of Vera.
"Okay, maybe it's what you said, kid. But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Vera abandoned Balor and ran away alone." Villes sighed and said.
Regnar was also stunned. He didn't expect the president of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild to compromise with him so easily. But thinking about it carefully, Villeless was right. No matter how much Vera regrets and how she changes her ways in the future, what happened in the past has already happened. She abandoned her only relative and ran away alone. This will never change.
Life has always been like this. There is absolutely no room for regrets about anything you have done. The so-called past will always be a fixed pattern and will not change because of the present or the future.
"So the first question, do you understand?" Villes asked.
"I... I understand." Regnar replied hesitantly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he found that he had no reason to deny Balor's approach. What would Regnar do if he was betrayed by someone he once trusted so much
"Very good, now comes the second question." Velez continued: "I want to ask you, if your family was destroyed by orcs, and everything was taken away by orcs, and now you have power, what would you do? Do?"
"Me?" Regnar thought for a while. Although he never had a family, he also deeply understood the pain of having everything taken away by others.
"I will take revenge!" Regnar said with certainty: "I will use all my strength to take revenge. I will let the person who took everything from me taste my anger. I will let the person who took everything from me feel my anger." The pain I have experienced. I will take revenge! In any way, I will take revenge!”
"That's right, that's what Balor does." Villeless snapped his fingers. Although this is an action that only humans like to use, as an elf who has lived in the human world for a long time, I am afraid that Villeless has little influence on human culture. His understanding is deeper than his understanding of elf culture.
"Then Balor..." Regnar vaguely guessed something.
"As you can guess, as Balor's strength has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years, he has become more and more eager to use his own power to carry out revenge. The targets of revenge are the orcs and the mage who almost killed him. But that The mage was killed by Kordak and Silenos a few years ago, and for this he turned his anger on the Mystic Eye."
As Villes spoke, he handed a stack of documents to Regnar. He believed that the little guy could understand it: "It is not difficult to see from this information that Balor's strength has become stronger and stronger in the past few years, so He gradually got rid of the control of the guild, and he started not to listen to my orders."
Regnar flipped through it and found that everything Balor had done since he joined the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild until now that had an impact on Meteor City or the Eastern Continent was recorded on it. This includes a detailed introduction to Balor's assassination of the Lord of Brisonis Outpost.
In fact, the initiator of the "Brisonis Incident" was not Alvin, who had become the soul of Kordak's sword, but Balor.
He and Alwen acted at the same time. Alwen was assigned by the guild to go to Brisonis Outpost without knowing it to delay time and create chaos, while Balor took the opportunity to assassinate the lord of Brisonis Outpost. . Since Balor's identity is relatively secretive, all the credit for this incident is heaped on Alvin's head.
The most pitiful thing was Alvin. He was only ordered to create chaos at Brisonis Outpost, but he didn't expect that he was completely acting as a cover for Balor. After the incident was completed, Alvin inexplicably received all the honors of the "Brisonis Incident". But this idiot didn't even think about it carefully, and accepted all the credit calmly. Then he suddenly became famous and became the perverted killer talked about by everyone in Meteor City.
Regnar looked at the document in his hand and couldn't help being secretly surprised. He was not only surprised that Balor had done several earth-shattering things in just a few years, but he was also surprised by the intelligence gathering capabilities of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
Although Villeless said that Balor was out of the control of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, Regnar judged from the intelligence in hand that the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild still had Balor firmly in its hands. If Villes was willing, Regnar had no doubt that he could know how many bowls of rice Balor had eaten and how much water he drank yesterday.
This couldn't help but make Regnar feel deeply in awe of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. This kind of intelligence control ability was really terrifying.
Villes continued: "Balor has been trying to instigate the relationship between the orcs and the Eye of the Mystery in recent years, trying to trigger a fight between them. But now it seems that he has succeeded."
"So, the reason why the orcs appeared in Nightsong Forest was because of Balor's instigation?" Regnar asked.
"Yes, I'm not sure as to whether he has grasped your whereabouts and led the orcs to your team. But I think that even if he knew, he would not change his plan because of this." Villes said .
"Damn it!" Regnar felt a ball of fire rising up in his heart. Balor couldn't help but provoke the orcs, and indirectly killed Silenos, and even almost caused his own sister to die tragically at the hands of the orcs. It seems that Vera's brother's character has been completely distorted.
Villes seemed to know what Regnar was thinking. He released a small elf magic on Regnar to let him calm down first.
Regnar breathed a sigh of relief slowly. Silenos was dead, and it was useless for him to be angry now. So he tried his best to calm down his emotions and continued to browse the information carefully.
From the intelligence point of view, most of the funds needed for Balor's activities come from the pocket of Pild. As for the exchange, I am afraid that Balor promised to help Pild in the name of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. The position of the Lord of Meteor City and so on.
But when he saw it later, Regnar couldn't help but be surprised. According to the intelligence records. The Eye of Mystery has united with other forces to start a war against the northern orcs, although this is not a national war with clear organizational disciplines. However, the invasion of a large number of strong human beings from the eastern continent is bound to cause a bloody storm between the orcs and humans.
Regnar pointed to the intelligence and asked, "Mr. President, these days..."
"As the intelligence said, the Eye of the Secret has launched a huge bounty to lure a large number of strong men into invading the orc territory. Counting the time, this war has already started two days ago." Velez confirmed the content of the intelligence.
"Then President, since the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild knows the whole story, why don't they stop them?" Regnar was puzzled. Although he didn't know much, he also understood that wars between races would be accompanied by a lot of bloodshed and sacrifices. .
"How do you want me to stop it? Do you want to tell the orcs and Eyes of Secrets that there is a misunderstanding between them and that everything is just a prank made by my disciples?" Villes asked in return.
"this… "
Verless sighed: "So, the guild cannot stop it, and will not stop it. The protagonists of this war are the Eyes of the Mystery and the orcs. No matter what the outcome is, it will not cause much damage to our Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. We There are even huge benefits to be gained. Therefore, I have no need or reason to stop it."
"But sir, these are countless lives..." Regnar hesitated.
Velez stared at Regnar and suddenly stretched out his hands: "How many things can these hands grasp?"
Regnar looked at Villes with some confusion, and Villes did not wait for Regnar's answer: "Very few, really few, but the world is very, very big. Even the legendary Hundred Even though he is an arm giant, his hands are far from enough to hold the whole world. Therefore, I will not divide my mind on things that have nothing to do with me. What we need to do is to find what we have in our hands and put them into practice. It holds tight.”
"For me, the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild is what I have in my hands, so I will hold it tightly. I don't want to care about other things, and I can't care about them." Villes said, he was silent for a moment and then asked Said: "What do you have in your hands?"
"I..." Regnar hesitated. He actually didn't know what he had in his hands.
Velez was not prepared to get anything back from Regnar, so he continued: "Annelotte helped you cure your poison this time."
"Annie?"
"Yes, you have been poisoned by a very hot poison. Only the frost essence accumulated by Anne, a waterbender, over the years can neutralize the poison. In order to understand your poison, Anne spent nearly half of her own body. Frost Essence. This directly caused her magic level to drop by four levels." Villes dropped another bombshell.
"What!?" Regnar's eyes widened. He knew that the poison he had been poisoned was very strange, but he did not expect that the detoxification would cost Annelotte such a high price.
Villes said: "You are also a shadow dancer, so since you came to the Eastern Continent, I have been secretly observing you and considering whether to accept you as a disciple. Balor felt the threat from you, so he took action as soon as possible. Let me strike you first."
"Is this why Balor wants to kill me?" Regnar asked. He suddenly felt that Vera's younger brother was really not a very good character. Not only had he not done anything to feel sorry for him, but in all seriousness, he should Counting Balor's second junior brother, it turned out that this second junior brother was stabbed as soon as he saw his senior brother.
"So to speak. Only truly outstanding disciples can inherit everything from me, and Balor felt that your existence would pose a threat to him, so he started to act. Of course, he still had reservations. If he was there at that time If the knife that was struck on you had its own attribute ability 'Black Curse', there would be no way you could survive." Villes nodded.
"Then why didn't he just kill me?" Regnar asked.
"Because of me. He was afraid that killing you directly would anger me, so he chose to seriously injure you and weaken the power of Anne who was standing with you," Villes said.
Regnar thought for a while and suddenly understood. He and Balor were like two crickets dueling in a box, and Villes was the one watching the duel. He wants to choose the stronger of the two crickets and train him as his true successor.
Originally, Balor could kill Regnar before he grew up. But because of the existence of Villes, he had some scruples in his heart. But Annelotte appeared next to Regnar. The combination of two attribute ability users would undoubtedly exert great pressure on Balor. Therefore, he had to take action to make the duel a relatively fair one. platform, at least what he considers to be a fair platform.
Therefore, Balor injured Regnar and forced Annelotte to weaken herself to save him.
"My original intention of letting Annie stay with you was to warn Balor that I was always watching you and to stop him from messing around. But unexpectedly, Balor thought that I had asked Annie to be on your side, so he was in a hurry. As a result, I had to appear in front of you in advance and tell you the whole story. But this cannot be blamed on Balor. From the way Anne behaved so intimately towards you, it seems that she is indeed on your side. "Villes smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect that Annelotte, who had always been obedient in his eyes, would suddenly have her own choice this time.
Annelotte being intimate with herself? Regnar didn't believe this at all. This girl had a weird and unpredictable personality, and it was hard for him to tolerate it. Most of the time, he was stunned by the girl's frosty aura. As for being intimate with him, it was out of the question, at least he didn't notice it at all.
"Okay, I have explained the three questions, so now, can you make your own choice?" Villes returned to the original question.
