Regnar's facial muscles twitched: "Boss, are you kidding me..."

Kordak shook his head and said seriously: "That's not true, Xiao Lei, I really want to invite you to join us. However, I also have to be responsible for the entire team. If it is a short-term cooperation, that's it, but since it is I'm going to let you join us. I can't always keep a guy in the team who is doing nothing. So, I have to give you a test. First, you need to be recognized by all our team members. Only mutual recognition among teammates can produce results. A high degree of trust, and trust is the basis for the survival of the mercenary team. Secondly, I need to have an overall assessment of your strength so that I will not give you wrong commands after you join the team. This will not only It hurts you, and it hurts all of us.”

"Then..." Regnar asked tentatively, "What if I fail the test?"

Kordak was stunned for a moment: "Uh... Then we can only apologize."

"Still playing with me." Regnar's facial muscles twitched again.

"Oh, young people must have confidence in themselves. Besides, Kordak won't make things difficult for you. Don't worry!" Vera patted Regna on the shoulder.

"Hey, I'll be the first to say ugly things. If you can't pass, I will never allow you to join." Kordak smiled.

"Tch, you're being serious, I don't believe you won't let him join." Vera muttered in a low voice, but Regnar did not hear her words.

"Then when will the test start?" Regnar still looked worried.

"The day after tomorrow. Today I will take you to take a shower, buy some clothes and have a rest. I will tell you about the test tomorrow, and then I will take you to buy some necessary equipment and props. We can start the day after tomorrow." Kordak pondered. Then he said: "By the way, is your injury healed?"

Regnar moved his hands and feet, and then nodded: "That's almost it."

Kordak was a little surprised: "It healed so quickly? It only took a few days for your wounds to be stitched?"

Regnar smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe I was beaten too much when I was a child. I have been beaten more severely before, and each time it took more than half a month to recover. In addition, Brother Silenos gave me The healing medicine is very effective, so I’ll be fine in six or seven days this time.”

"Oh, Xiao Lei is so pitiful." Vera touched Regna's head.

"What a freak." Kordak muttered, and then said: "Come on, follow me back to the hotel, I will take you to clean it up, so that others will not think that I picked up a monkey as a pet. "

Regnar symbolically resisted Vera's touch, slandering Kordak in his heart that he was a big bear, and then followed him.

"Hey, I've bought some clothes. I'll throw them on the table at the door for you. The size shouldn't be too different. You can just make do with them. But did I say you are made of mud? If I remember correctly, these have been washed. It’s time for the third bucket of water.” Kordak said to Regner in the mist.

"Hey, um... I haven't washed it much before." Regnar was a little embarrassed. In fact, if strictly speaking, Regnar should have removed the word "how".

Since it was his first time to take a bath, Regnar was taught by Kordak for a long time before he figured out how to use soapberry peels to wash his hair. What made him even more embarrassed was that when he finished washing the first bucket of water, he found that the bucket The water inside was already dirty and black, so he had no choice but to ask for another bucket of hot water to wash with. When the second bucket was washed, Kordak looked at it. Before Regner could speak, he had already gone out and asked the boss to send another bucket of hot water.

After washing three buckets repeatedly, Regnar finally washed himself clean. He put on the clothes Kordak bought for him. They were neither too big nor too small and they fit perfectly.

"Ha! You looked like a mud monkey before, but now you look a little bit human after washing it! Hey, I take back what I said before. I think if you look like this and find someone to support you, there should be some hope." Cole Dak looked at the boy in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to Kordak, Vera's reaction was much stronger: "Wow wow wow! What a beautiful little boy. It turns out Regna is a young lady. Come here, come here and let me hug you." Vera As he spoke, he gave Regna a bear hug.

I don’t know if Regnar is pitiful or jealous. He was so thin that he was not even taller than the tall Vera’s chin. In addition, after returning to the hotel, Vera put on high-heeled leather boots out of love for beauty. .

As a result, with this hug, Regna fell headlong into Vera's plump breasts, and was suffocated for a long time until he couldn't breathe. Vera, on the other hand, seemed to have no consciousness at all. Looking at the baby-faced Regna, she only thought of him as a taller young lady. She only felt that the more she looked at him, the cuter she became, and she hugged Regna for a long time without letting go. It wasn't until he noticed the strange looks in Kordak's and Silenos's eyes that he let go of Regnar, who was almost unable to struggle.

"Hoo ho, I'm not a little boy! Ho ho! I just look younger! Ho ho! I'll be angry if you do this again!" Regna blushed in protest, but no one knew about this red face. Is it because I'm bored, because I'm angry, or because I'm happy.

"Oh, sister is just kidding you, don't be angry, don't be angry." Vera wasn't angry either, she just felt that the young man in front of her was getting more and more interesting.

"Ah! You got a bargain and behaved!" Kordak spat.

Regnar turned his head and saw "Envy" written on the left side of Kordak's face, "Jealousy" written on the right side of his face, and a huge word "Hate" in the middle of his forehead. Sileno next to him Si looked at himself a little strangely.

"Um... I'm not small. Of course I can't compare to tall and heroic men like Boss and Silenos." Regnar's expression changed instantly, and he smiled flatteringly like a treacherous villain.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Come on, come over and tell me what your abilities are, so I can give you a test." Kordak didn't give Regnar a good look at all.

"Ah? I thought you had already thought about it!" Regnar was stunned.

"Idiot! The test naturally varies from person to person. If a new mage joins, do you think it is reasonable for me to test his melee combat ability?" Kordak cursed.

Regnar wiped the saliva from his face and Xingzi continued to flatter him: "Oh my, my boss is so wise and wise, he understands such profound truths!"

"That's right, otherwise how can you be the captain." Kordak's face softened a little and continued: "Tell me, what are your abilities and what are your advantages?"

Regnar: "..."

Kordak: "..."

"Um... is being able to eat considered an advantage?" Regnar held back his words for a long time.

"Nonsense!" Kordak spat at Regnar again: "Speak to me, can you fight? Fast? Strong sneaking ability? Good eyesight? Say anything!"

"Uh... Boss, if you say so, do you think this counts?" Regnar raised the thing in his hand.

"Oh! Damn it, when did you kid, Regnar, take away my purse?" Vera exclaimed.

Regnar rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "It's a professional habit. I took it as soon as my hand shook. I didn't mean it."

Vera grabbed the money bag and quickly kept it close to her body.

When Regnar saw Vera, he put it away without counting whether there was anything missing. He obviously trusted him very much, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

"Yeah! That counts as one. What else?" Kordak nodded.

"What else... Also, I'm pretty good at picking locks. I picked a lot of locks over there with just two wires." Regnar said. Then he thought about it again and continued, "Although I haven't tried it yet. , but I think my stealth ability is pretty good.”

"You are really a born thief!" Kordak said.

Regnar smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice but to make a living."

Kordak thought for a while and said: "So basically you are a thief? Well... Thief, okay, I understand."

At night, after confirming that Regnar was asleep, Kordak and others quietly gathered together again.

"Why do I get less and less understanding the more I think about it? Why did Yueying and the others do this? Isn't Xiaolei here to harm us?" Vera said with a frown.

Kordak glanced at her: "Are you out of your mind? We have never offended the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. What are they doing to us? Besides, if Moon Shadow really wants to deal with us, just send two people to take us back. You can do whatever you want, why is it so complicated to send people to our side?"

Silenos nodded: "I agree with Kordak."

"So." Kordak spread his hands: "We don't have to worry too much. This can be regarded as a mercenary mission. After we get the money, we just do things for others. Why do you think so much?"

"That's right. Mr. Kordak is indeed a smart man." A strange voice sounded in the room.
