In the next few days, Regnar and others hunted for several days in Yege Forest with Gerhat's team of hunters.
The reason why they did not rush back to Falling Star City was partly because a few of them injured Mickey, and the hunter team that lost their captain might not gain enough from this, so the four mercenaries wanted to use this to make up for it. On the other hand, Kordak is now hesitant to return to Falling Star City because Annelotte killed Fals. Once this is leaked, they are likely to face the revenge of the Mystical Eye.
And even Annelotte was not sure whether the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild would intervene. What's more, even with the protection of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, Kordak and others can't rest easy. Those self-righteous master mages went crazy and did all kinds of crazy things. You killed our key training target? Very good, isn't Regnar also your key training target? Just pay with his life!
Therefore, after discussion, several people decided to stay in these fringe areas for a few days, and then consider whether to return to Meteor City after confirming that there is no trouble.
Now, several people were on their way back to York Town. Upon receiving Gerhart's warm invitation, Kordak and others decided to stay in York Town for a few days to avoid the limelight.
"In the final analysis, Balor won this time." Kordak sighed and said helplessly.
Now that Balor had come forward, Regner felt that he could no longer hide it, so he simply confessed everything he had with Balor. The reason why I didn't say anything before was not because I didn't trust Kordak and Vera, but I just didn't want to worry Vera too much about this matter. One is his companion who has been with him through life and death for more than two years, and the other is his biological brother who has grown up together. Now these two people are at odds with each other, and Vera will only be in extreme pain if she is caught in the middle.
"If he and Fals teamed up to directly kill Xiao Lei and us in the mine, there is no doubt that he would win. This was originally a sure-kill game, but the sudden strong man was unexpected Everyone expected. But even in this case, it is not considered Balor's failure. After all, Fals died in our hands. Even if we could escape from his killing trap, we would still be severely punished. If we offend the Eye of Mystery, we still have no way to survive." Kordak analyzed: "Success will be the end of the world. Even if failure not only creates a strong enemy for Xiaolei, but also weakens the power of Eye of Mystery, it still counts. I made a contribution to the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild to please your president. Hehe, Balor is really a scheming guy."
Vera's eyes were a little dim. Although she knew that her brother's temperament had changed drastically, she still felt uncomfortable knowing that Balor had become such a vicious and scheming person.
After Kordak finished speaking, he glanced at Regnar again. Seeing the boy's absent-minded look, he became angry. He slapped Regnar on the back of the head angrily:
"I almost killed you and you still go around like this? How big is your heart?"
Regnar rubbed the back of his head in dissatisfaction, lowered his head and muttered: "I have never thought about arguing with him. What can I do if he keeps chasing me and won't let me go? Could I also set up a trap now? The Bureau plotted against him and even killed him? He is also Sister Vera’s brother after all... Besides, I have been working hard to find a solution."
Regnar said the last sentence very softly, and none of the three people present heard it, so they didn't notice the faint light flashing in his eyes when he said this sentence. Is it really just a matter of beating you down? If it's the only way, then do it.
…
Yorktown has not changed much from two years ago, but this time, Kordak and others blended into the common hunter groups in the town, so they did not attract the attention of the townspeople.
Gerhart's home is close to the center of York Town, which is a bustling market. Not far from the door is the largest vegetable market in York Town.
Regner and the others did not expect that a fledgling hunter like him could own a two-story building in the center of the town. In this regard, Gerhard explained that his father was a well-known hunter in the town and saved a lot of savings for them.
After his father died and his mother left home, Gerhat supported the entire family by himself. Because they have fighting spirit and act fiercely and desperately, not many people have bullied them in the past few years. It’s just that the income on his own was not enough before, so Gerhat was forced to steal or sell the furniture in the house to make ends meet. But since he became a hunter, everything has gotten better. At least he and his sister no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
After entering Gerhat's house, several people couldn't help but be a little surprised. They were three unruly brats who would definitely turn a good house upside down. What should appear in front of you is a messy scene that cannot even be described as dirty.
But the fact is that Gerhardt's home is quite clean and tidy, and the wooden floor has been mopped so clean that it can even reflect the reflections of several people. The walls are also snow-white, without any stains. Although the fabric sofa looks a bit old, it is very clean. It is obvious that it has been cleaned frequently.
"How is it? My family is not bad, right?" Gerhard said proudly. Everything here has a lot to do with his own efforts. Now when he shows the results of his efforts to others, this young man also brings them with him. A bit proud.
"Not bad, not bad. When I saw you two years ago, you were as dirty as a mud monkey. I didn't expect that not only would I look good now, but my home would also be so clean and tidy. It's really rare." Vera commented.
Gerhart looked slightly embarrassed and said with a dry smile: "I had just started to live independently back then, and I hadn't learned to take care of myself yet. Isn't it different now?"
After saying that, he shouted into the room: "Minnie, Inelise, I'm back, come out quickly, guests are coming!"
There were hurried footsteps on the second floor, and then two little girls as smart and cute as dolls ran down the stairs. They both had blond hair and green eyes. Perhaps due to the difficult conditions, the two little girls looked a little thin. Their height only reached Regnar's chest, and they looked like they were only eight or nine years old. Although they were wearing patched old clothes, they looked clean and tidy. It seemed that when Gerhardt was working hard outside, these two little girls kept the house in order.
"Brother, you are back!" The two little girls were very surprised to see Gerhart.
"We're back. My brother has hunted a lot of wild animals this time. The silver coins he earned are enough for us to live for half a month." Jerhat raised the money bag in his hand. Their hunting team has cooperated with many shops in the town. Basically, the goods can be sold after returning from hunting.
Gerhart handed the money bag to Minnie, who looked slightly older, and then introduced: "These four are my friends. They are very powerful mercenaries."
"Hello, four mercenaries." Minnie and Inelis said timidly. They are only eleven or twelve-year-old little girls now. They are lively and cute at that age. Coupled with this timid appearance, His expression is indescribably endearing.
Vera smiled and touched the faces of the two little girls: "Oh, they are really two cute little girls. I didn't expect you, Gerhardt, to be so good-looking, but your two sisters are so beautiful."
"Sister Vera, tell me whether I should be happy or depressed when I hear this..." Gerhart said awkwardly. Although he is not as handsome as Regnar, he is not ugly. At least he is worse than Kordak. Quite a few, but in Vera's mouth it turned out to be something not so good...
"Humph, of course you should be happy to have two such beautiful and capable sisters." Vera curled her lips, then smiled and said to Minnie and Inelise: "Come, sister will give you sweets."
Only then did Regnar know why Vera wanted to buy candy in the small town. It turned out to be a meeting gift for Gerhard's two younger sisters. This made Regnar sigh with emotion at Vera's attentiveness.
The two little girls obviously seldom had such delicious snacks. They seemed very happy, and gradually their wariness and fear of strangers disappeared. Dozens of minutes later, the two little girls were already playing with Vera.
Although Annelotte had a cold and indifferent temperament, she also showed a loving look when facing the two lovely little girls. Although she was not as playful as Vera with the little girl, she would still cast two beautiful illusions of light magic from time to time to make the two children marvel.
"You seem to like children very much? Aren't they also quite noisy?" Regnar approached Annelotte and asked mischievously.
Annelotte glanced at Regnar and said coldly: "Although they are lively, they are very cute; and you, you are also lively after drinking, but you look very cheap."
"..." Regnar's expression looked like he had swallowed a fly alive.
Dinner was cooked by Minnie and Inelise. Although Vera and Annelotte both said they wanted to help, they failed due to Gerhardt's insistence.
"Since we are here to serve as landlords in my house, how can we let the guests do it? Don't worry, although Minnie and Inelise are not very old, their craftsmanship is very good. The food they make is guaranteed to be eaten by you. The mouth is full of oil!" Gerhat promised, patting his chest.
In order to entertain these mercenaries, Gerhart also asked Inelise to go to the town to buy a few kilograms of fine beef. When they heard that there was meat to eat, the two little girls also cheered and seemed to work even harder when they came back to cook.
Yorktown looks very quiet and peaceful at night. The townspeople who have gone out have returned to their homes, and waiting for them will be a table of steaming dinner.
Looking at such a peaceful town through the window, Regnar suddenly felt a little envious of the lives of these people. They may be mediocre and just running around for a living, but such an ordinary and happy life with their families is something he cannot have anyway.
He was an orphan before, looking for food and drink in garbage dumps all day long, with no one looking after him or caring about him. Later, he became a mercenary. Perhaps he now possesses powerful power that these people could not imagine, but he is still running around all day, wandering between life and death.
Regnar might only be able to experience a life like theirs today after living for seventeen years. This unprecedented peace and calm made him a little distracted. He turned to Kordak and said: "Boss..."
"Um?"
"How about we just stay here?"
"Are you stupid? Do you think Balor will let you go?" Kordak asked without hesitation.
"Yes." Regnar smiled bitterly: "Then let's stay a few more days before leaving."
Kordak looked at Regnar and finally nodded: "Okay."
