Views:

"Vera, is it really you?" The middle-aged man squirmed and tried to stand up, but because his hands and feet were tightly tied, he struggled for a long time and was unable to get up.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Regnar quickly cut the rope around the middle-aged man's feet with a dagger. Although Vera had revealed the identity of the middle-aged man, Regna still did not dare to release his hands easily for the sake of caution.

"Father!" Vera came forward. She cut the rope on the middle-aged man's hand without hesitation, and then looked at him carefully. Nine years later, this man is no longer as tall and heroic as he once was, and even his hair has begun to turn gray.

"Vera, you... you're not..." The middle-aged man hesitated. He wanted to ask whether Vera was dead, but he never dared to speak, as if it was a spell that would become reality once spoken. .

Vera understood what the middle-aged man meant, and she shook her head: "No, my brother held back the orcs, and my brother and I escaped."

"Balor is alive too?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Where is he? Where is he?"

"..." Vera was speechless, but finally mustered up the courage to tell all the stories.

"So that's it." The middle-aged man nodded. He looked at Vera, whose eyes were red, and comforted her softly: "It's not your fault, my child. Now that I can have a relative, I am very satisfied."

"You still have two..." Regnar sighed secretly. When Vera was telling the story just now, he wanted to tell everyone the truth, but he hesitated for a long time and still held back.

Seeing Vera with a guilty look on her face, the middle-aged man didn't want to dwell on this matter. He changed the topic and continued to ask: "What happened next? Where did you go? Why are you here now?"

Vera wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "Later, I escaped to Meteor City, met two mercenaries there, and joined them as mercenaries. Until now, because of the two years of Secret Magic Eyes There is a bounty for orc ears. This area has now become a battlefield between humans and orcs, so I appear here. Father, what about you? You have been..."

The middle-aged man nodded and recalled: "When I went hunting, I met a very good prey, and I chased it for a long distance as usual. Then I came home and found... I found those scenes. I was crazy at the time, I searched everywhere for you, but in the end I only found the bodies of your mother and your brother... "

The middle-aged man paused. Even recalling the original scene made him feel miserable. He adjusted his emotions and then said: "Then I buried them and then went to find you. I searched for a year, and finally I was desperate. So I took my belongings and broke into the orc territory alone, and started hunting the orcs continuously, and it was like this for eight years."

Everyone was shocked after hearing this. They had survived alone in the orc territory for eight years! They simply couldn't imagine how the middle-aged man got through these eight years. What kind of emotions supported him to endure the endless loneliness and fear

"Father...you..."

The middle-aged man smiled kindly, and then a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "They took away everything from me, so I will risk my life to keep them in peace."

"My daughter is unfilial and has made her father suffer all these years." Vera burst into tears again.

"It's because I'm a bad father. I didn't even protect this family." Tears flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He originally wanted to hug Vera and her daughter and have a good cry to vent their feelings. But seeing Regner and Kordak staring blankly at them, they didn't feel too good about it.

The middle-aged man looked at the two living treasures, snorted in his heart, and said with a hint of irony: "These two are your mercenary friends? They saved my life!"

Vera didn't know what happened just now, so she just thought it was her father who wanted to introduce his companions, so she pointed at Regna and said: "This is Regna, the assassin of our team. Although he is not big, he is very powerful. Strong and reliable."

"Hello, I am Regnar, an eleventh-level assassin." Regnar stretched out his hand. Since this uncle was Vera's father, he was someone he would never dare to offend, so he quickly forgot about the unpleasantness just now. , express friendship to middle-aged people.

The middle-aged man is not a petty person, but he has been tortured by the orcs in the past few days, so his temper is not very good. As soon as Kordak woke up, he misunderstood himself as the spy of the orcs he hated most, and that's why he lost his temper.

Seeing Regner's enthusiasm at this time, as an elder, he naturally would not care about the younger generation, so he also smiled: "Hello, young man, I am Field, Field Trickle."

Just when Field stretched out his hand to shake Regner's hand, Kordak on the side moved first.

This 1.9 meter tall man knocked Regna flying two meters away with one butt.

"Ah ha ha ha! So you are Uncle Field! I have known you for a long time, and Vera often mentioned you when she was with us! She said that you are wise and martial, and your shooting skills are unparalleled. When I saw you today, you really lived up to your reputation! Oh oh, look at me Excuse me, let me introduce myself. My name is Kordak. He is twenty-four years old. He is 1.90 meters tall and weighs 207 pounds. He has good conduct and good facial features. He does not have any bad habits such as smoking, drinking, prostitution, gambling, etc. I boast about it. You can say that he is a good man among men! Hahahahaha! Also, let me tell you, although it was Regnar who saved you this time, all of this was arranged by me. I heard that a human was captured by orcs, so I sent him to rescue him. I didn’t expect that the person who was so destined was you. Look at this... "

Kordak grinned and talked while holding Field's hand enthusiastically and shaking it vigorously. His face was written all over, "Uncle, I am the best man among men and the perfect choice for a son-in-law."

Field was shaken by Kordak's hand and was dizzy. He looked at Vera with some confusion, and then saw Vera say with a bit of shyness and annoyance: "This guy is Kordak, he is from our mercenary team. Captain, he was the one who took me in back then."

Although Field has been traveling alone for nine years, he is also an experienced middle-aged man. How could he not understand the current situation.

He looked blankly at Kordak who was chattering like a lunatic, then turned to Vera and said: "My daughter, your taste is really... really different... "

Vera's face turned red instantly, and she angrily hit Kordak who was chattering away.

Regner had just been pushed away by Kordak, and now he saw that the boss was so enthusiastic that he wanted to hold Field and kiss him twice, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

He hurriedly ran up and took Kordak's arm: "Boss, boss, please pay attention to your moral integrity. You have never been so flattering to your biological father, have you?"

"Go away!" Kordak pushed Regnar out with a flick of his arm and muttered in a low voice: "I can't please my biological father but I can't get a wife!"

Just when everyone could hardly stand Kordak, who was going crazy, there was movement in Annelotte's tent.

"Come, father, there is another companion of mine here. Her name is Annelotte. We usually call her Anne." Vera quickly interrupted Kordak and pulled Field to introduce Annelotte to him.

Field looked carefully at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his heart. Annelotte has become more and more beautiful in the past two years, her skin is as white as snow, and her exquisite facial features have completely lost the childishness of the past, and instead have a little bit of charm and liveliness.

In the past two years, under the influence of Regner and others, Annelotte's temperament has also changed slightly. Although she still has a cold temperament, she is a bit more agile than before.

What impressed Field the most was Annelotte's long, smooth ice-blue hair, which was draped over Annelotte's shoulders like the most delicate silk. Because she had just woken up, two bunches of hair were playfully sticking up on the girl's head, adding a bit of cuteness and cuteness to Annelotte.

"What a beautiful little girl!" Field praised: "This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a beautiful girl. Hello, I am Field, Vera's father."

Annelotte took two seconds to understand the situation at the scene, and then shook hands with Field: "Hello, sir. My name is Annelotte."

After a brief introduction, everyone was considered familiar. Because Field was seriously injured, Kordak generously took out two bottles of healing potions. Field accepted this calmly. My daughter is almost yours. Isn’t it a small thing to drink two bottles of your healing potion

Due to Field's inconvenience, several people decided to leave for Falling Star City today. Anyway, Regner also made a lot of orc ears last night, so this trip was considered worthwhile.

Just when everyone was getting ready to set off, several black spots appeared on the distant horizon.

"Hey, cheer up, it seems the situation is good." Kordak shouted.

It was a human team of more than 20 people, led by a fat young mage. He was wearing an earth-yellow magic robe and led everyone to approach Kordak.

"Oh, it turns out to be Young Master Fars of the Eye of the Mystery." Kordak smiled slightly. This Fars is a key training target of the Eye of the Mystic. It is said that he is a flamethrower. Although he is not old, he has now reached Reached level fourteen.
