"Through my observation, I think you are qualified to be my apprentice. So, now it's your turn to choose. Power or wealth?" Villeless said:
"If you choose wealth, then you will become my subordinate. Use the ability of Shadow Dancer to serve me, and I can give you endless wealth. If you choose power, then you will become
As my second disciple, I will make you very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine. But you have to face Balor, and you may even die at his hands. But once you win this competition, you can inherit everything from me. "
"Master President." Regnar asked: "If I choose to remain unknown and not compete with Balor, will he let me go? Will he let Annie go?"
Villes shook his head: "I don't know. Balor's character has become difficult to fathom now, so I can't guarantee your safety."
"Then it seems like I have no choice at all." Regnar looked up at the elf who was much taller than him: "Including this time, Annie should have saved me four times, right? She has sacrificed so much for me. Duo, do I still have the face to continue to coerce her, even if I can't guarantee her safety?"
Villes smiled and looked at Regnar. He saw the flames flashing in the young man's eyes, the flames that could burn the world: "So what is your choice?"
"I want power, I want to become strong. Strong enough that I won't be bullied by others, strong enough to protect those around me from being bullied, strong enough to beat Balor's psychotic brother back to Sister Vera!" Regnar He said seriously, with extremely firm determination at this moment. Only later did he realize that in order to realize what he said at this time, he almost devoted his life to it.
Villes nodded, put away his expression, and said seriously: "Very good, then from today on, you will officially become my second disciple of Villes. Balor was given the title by me." Night Blade', and you, as the president of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild and your teacher, I give you the title of 'Dark Elegy'. Regnar Dark Elegy, I hope that this title will become a title revered by everyone in the years to come. Title. I hope you can become my most outstanding and proud disciple."
"Regna must live up to the teacher's expectations." Regnar rarely looked serious, but he secretly muttered in his heart that he didn't know whether his answer was right or not. It would be bad if he gave the wrong answer and ruined the serious atmosphere created by the teacher. .
…
A few days later, in Kordak's room in the Brilliant Star Tavern in Falling Star City.
Annelotte waved her hand to remove her detection spell, feeling secretly surprised. Although she had guessed that the level reduction would greatly affect her strength, she did not expect that the impact would be so great. Just a simple detection spell consumed so much of her magic power, which was unimaginable before.
For people who are used to being strong, suddenly becoming weak will always be a bit uncomfortable. But Annelotte was surprised, but she didn't feel depressed or regretful about it. For her, level four magic power is indeed a big loss, but it is never unacceptable. It is only a matter of time before she can practice again. She has this confidence. Annelotte has always been a very confident person.
"The Millennium Snow Lotus has been absorbed very well, and you have gained another ten years of life." Annelotte told Kordak the detection results.
"Great! Ten years is enough. This time is enough for us to find something that can enhance your vitality." Vera was the first one to cry out.
"Haha, I just said that I am very lucky, how can I die so easily?" Kordak grinned. He had already prepared that he would not survive for a few years, but he did not expect that he seemed to survive it. This level.
"I must remind you that the vitality brought by the Millennium Snow Lotus is enough for you to live normally for ten years, but this is only a theoretical time. As long as you are injured again in the future, it will also shorten your lifespan, and as a mercenary, injuries are It's inevitable. Therefore, these thousand-year snow lotus can actually only allow you to live four or five years longer." Annelotte poured cold water on Kordak mercilessly.
Since returning from Snow Rock City last time, Annelotte has not been as polite to Kordak in the past, and her tone is always slightly cold and vaguely sarcastic.
But Kordak and Vera didn't care. It was Kordak who did something wrong that time at the hotel. It's normal for Annelotte to be a little dissatisfied now. In fact, it is a good thing to have such an emotion, which shows that Annelotte no longer has the indifferent attitude towards Kordak. This shows from another aspect that the girl has accepted Kordak and this mercenary team.
"Ah, it's okay. Anyway, I have a few years to live, and we can talk about other things later." Kordak waved his hand nonchalantly.
Annelotte gave Kordak a cold look and said nothing.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk", there was a knock on the door, and Annelotte turned to open the door.
Regnar stood at the door. After he woke up, he spent a few days recovering from his injuries in Snow Rock City, and then rushed back to Meteor City without stopping.
He thought it would be Kordak or Vera who opened the door, but he didn't expect that Annelotte's exquisite and beautiful face would be the first to appear in front of his eyes.
"You... that... long time no see." Regnar stammered.
Ever since he knew what Annelotte had done for him, Regnar now had an indescribable feeling for the girl.
In the past few days, he had been thinking about what to say as his first words when he saw Annelotte.
He thought about crying with snot and tears when they met, and then took Annelotte's hand and said: "Thank you for your dedication to me! I am so touched! I will always remember you in the future." OK!"
But he felt that this mean look might make the girl hit him with a fireball in the face.
He also thought about grinning boldly when they met, and then patted the girl's shoulder vigorously and said: "I already know everything, so I won't say anything more. From now on, you can just look at me! I will definitely Protect you, whether it’s the orcs or Balor, I’ll blow them all up for you to see!”
But he felt that this pretentious and heroic appearance would also provoke the girl to directly hit his face with a fireball.
He also thought about pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know anything. In this case, uh... Annie's proud character will naturally not reveal it, so she will not use fireballs to smear her face. But Regnar felt that if he really dared to do this, he might have hit his own face with a fireball first.
He thought about it over and over these days, but still couldn't find any good way to deal with it. Therefore, when Annelotte suddenly appeared in front of him, Regnar seemed a little caught off guard and could only say "Long time no see" dryly.
Annelotte nodded. When she saw Regna standing in front of her alive and kicking, the girl's eyes flashed with joy that she was not even aware of. She nodded to Regnar: "You're back."
Regnar twitched his lips in embarrassment, and after careful consideration he said, "I know everything. This time... this time, thank you."
Seeing the expression on Regner's face that said, "We have done something shameful, we have done something shameful", Annelotte seemed to be infected by him. The girl nodded with an embarrassed look on her face, but said nothing.
"Oh! Brat, you're back." Kordak walked out of the room, and then shouted: "Vera, Xiao Lei is back."
Then Regna heard another exclamation from Vera, and after hurried footsteps, Vera also walked out.
"Boss, Sister Vera." Regnar looked at his two eldest brothers and eldest sister, and he was very happy in his heart. If it weren't for Annelotte, he would almost never see these people. At this time, the girl took a few steps back and was standing behind Kordak.
"Come on, come on, let's talk in the room." Kordak patted Regnar on the back and found that the boy was still as skinny as before, but his body was intact and all the parts were there.
…
After entering the house, Regnar simply told Kordak and Vera about his experiences in the past few days.
Through Regner's narration, Kordak and Vera learned that Regner's poison was cured by Annelotte at great cost. I also learned that Regnar has become a key training target of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. At the same time, they also learned that Regnar might have a very dangerous enemy.
Of course, Regner still had reservations when telling all this. He did not tell Kordak that he had become the direct disciple of the guild president, nor did he say that the enemy was his fellow disciple, nor did he say that this fellow disciple was called Balor, who was Vera's younger brother.
It's not that Regner doesn't believe Kordak and Vera, it's just that once some things are revealed, Kordak and the two may get into some trouble. Moreover, Balor's identity was quite sensitive, so he decided not to let Vera know about it yet.
"Boss, this enemy of mine is very dangerous. From now on you..." Regnar hesitated.
Kordak guessed what Regnar wanted to say. He slapped Regnar on the back of the head and said with a smile: "You bastard, what do you want to do! I have worked so hard to
You picked it up from the Silver Moon Forest and took it with you to work as a mercenary and enjoy the hot food. Now that you have the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild as your backer, why don't you leave me? I tell you, no way! Don't think about getting rid of me so easily! "
"But boss, that guy is really scary. You didn't see his move that time. He..."
Before Regnar could finish speaking, Kordak waved his hand and interrupted Regnar. He said, "Okay, Xiao Lei, you don't need to say anything more. As you said, that enemy is very scary, and you are now It’s not like you are very strong. Do you think I can leave you alone and hide far away? Is your boss this kind of person? "
Regnar opened his mouth, but said nothing. Indeed, he knew Kordak's character very well, and there was no way he could just ignore this kind of thing.
Moreover, Kordak and Vera were so close. Even if Kordak and Vera were far away from him, Regnar did not believe that Vera's brother would let Kordak go. Therefore, he didn't have much hope in his persuasion.
