Chapter 14: The Cause of Cook's Death
In Thorn Town, Emily's Tavern is open as usual at night.
"Did you hear that? A few days ago there was a big incident in the city of Kent. One of the guests said drunkenly after taking a sip of ale.
"Of course you know, isn't there just a large-scale fight? I heard that the guards of Kent City couldn't suppress it in those days. "The other guy was also knotting his tongue when he spoke.
"You know an egg!" The first person looked disdainful: "Do you know why the fight?"
"Grab the territory! Why else? Hmph! Those underworld forces are so arrogant now, they dare to be so blatant in order to grab the territory!" the second person shouted.
The first person hurriedly went up and covered his mouth: "Are you kid crazy drinking? There are a few people in the road here, be careful of provoking them!"
The man was also a little sober, he looked around, and after making sure that no one had noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not just about grabbing land. The first lowered his voice and continued, "Dark Elegy, have you heard of it?"
"The assassin who single-handedly messed up the Bloody Hand Brotherhood?"
"That's him. The first person nodded: "The reason why there is chaos in Kent City this time is because of him. ”
"Oh?"
"You know what?" the first man looked around mysteriously, and then whispered, "Dark Elegy and Black Jack have killed the boss of the Bloody Hand Brotherhood, Taiwen, on the outskirts of Kent. ”
"Wow!"
"It's not just Thai. The man continued, "The top brass of the Bloody Hand Brotherhood in Kent City were almost wiped out, in fact, before the turmoil in Kent City, Blackjack and Tewen had already fought in the suburbs. ”
"The result?"
It turned out that Blackjack won, and with the help of Dark Elegy, he defeated Tevin, and then he began to take over the Bloody Hand Brotherhood's foundation in Kent, which was the cause of the upheaval. ”
"I see......," the man thoughtfully turned his head and asked, "How do you know about this?"
"I have a nephew who is with Blackjack, a level 4 warrior, and he was there when he killed Taiwen!"
"And what did he see the Dark Elegy?"
"It's said to be a woman, in her twenties, and very sexy!" said the first person.
"Cut! brag!" The second person was obviously unconvinced: "How did I hear that the Dark Elegy is a middle-aged man of forty?"
"You know a fart, does that dark elegy make it easy to understand?"
"You know a fart, dark elegy can be transgendered?"
“*&@#¥......&*”
“@(!¥...... (”
Vera took two beers from the bar and put them on the table and said, "I walked down this circle and noticed that many people were discussing the previous day. Xiao Lei became famous this time......"
"It's not that Xiao Lei is famous. Kordaq smiled: "It's the Dark Elegy that is famous, and no one knows the true face of the Dark Elegy except a few of us." ”
"yes. Vera reminisced back then.
At that time, Regner triumphantly told them that he had been given the title of "Dark Elegy" by a very powerful person. At that time, Vera and Cordak and even Anne Lot sneered at him for such a title of middle two, and then Regner, whose self-esteem was frustrated, blushed and shouted that he would make this title resound all over the world in the future.
Two years have passed, and in the Lance Continent, this title has entered people's ears with the lives of two high-level mages. But in the continent of Chino, Regner is still unknown. But Vera didn't expect Regner to let her title spread throughout the province of Semrela in just half a month, judging from this posture, I'm afraid it won't be long before this name spreads throughout the Hawke Empire.
Vera thought about it, and suddenly froze, she turned to Cordak and said, "I think there are two other people who may know Regner's identity." ”
"Emily, the tavern, and Hans?" said Kordak. At that time, Regner once put down his vow in the tavern to destroy the BloodHand Brotherhood, and then Regner disappeared alone, and it didn't take long for the Bloodhand Brotherhood to collapse at the hands of a man who claimed to be a dark elegy. I'm afraid even an idiot can see some clues from these coincidences.
"Yes. Vera nodded.
"I don't think there's too much to worry about Hans, this boss lady ......" Kordak frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, this matter will be decided by yourself when Xiao Lei comes back." ”
......
"I didn't think Brother Regner was a crybaby when he was a kid!" said Iniris with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Regna was very crying when he was a child, but he always pretended to be very strong in front of me, and a few times I suddenly showed up and found him crying, but he quickly wiped away his tears every time. Ini, you know, it's so funny that he's crying so much and looking proud!" Erin said with a smile. In the past two days, Innellis has often come to chat and play with her, and Erin also likes this sunny and lively little girl.
"Hey, Irene, when did you learn to speak ill of people behind your back?" Regna walked into the house at some point.
"Brother Regner!" Exclaimed Iniris in surprise as she threw herself into Regner's arms.
"Alright, alright. Regner patted Innellis on the head.
The half-elf was also very surprised by Regner's return, she had also taken two steps forward, but seeing Iniris so enthusiastic, she inexplicably stopped her steps and just looked at Regner with a smile.
"You're back. Erin said with a smile.
"It's back. Regner also smiled at Erin, "Are you healed?"
"Much better. Erin nodded.
The atmosphere of the scene became awkward for a moment, and Regner wanted to say something more to Erin, but he opened his mouth and suddenly found that there was nothing to say. And Inelis on the side also stared at him with big eyes, he was stared at by two girls at the same time, one beautiful and one ugly, and suddenly felt that the current scene was not very good.
But fortunately, Kordaq came to the rescue, and the guy pushed open the door and showed a simple head and said, "Boy, your women have seen it too, so come here, we still have something to discuss." ”
Erin's face flushed, and she lowered her head silently.
"Uncle, what are you talking about!!" Innellis's face flushed, too, but she was obviously bolder than Erin, so she retorted.
Kordak shrugged nonchalantly, then retracted his head.
"Alright, I'll go over and discuss something with the boss, and I'll come back to see you later. Ragner also hurried away.
......
"Where's Uncle Hans?" asked Regner as soon as he entered Cordak's room, having not seen Hans since he returned.
"Gone. Kordak said casually.
"Oh. Regner was not surprised, as it could be seen from Hans persuading Ragner that he was still very jealous of the Bloody Hand Brotherhood. Regner, however, did not listen to his persuasion and insisted on going to their trouble, and Hans was naturally afraid of getting into trouble. After all, he and Regna have only known each other for less than a month, and it is just a matter of helping them to make a relationship, and it is reasonable for Hans to want to leave as soon as possible without going through this troubled water.
"The medicine I gave you works, right?"
Kordaq nodded: "Two days ago, Vera and I ran out on purpose during the full moon, but the two of us blew the wind in the wilderness for a long time and nothing happened. Yes, the medicine you gave me did work. ”
"Well, then, what's the matter?" Regner asked, a third question.
"Yes. Kordak said: "This matter is actually not too difficult to investigate, I now asked around the neighborhood, and then asked a few thugs, and the matter is basically clear." ”
"What was the cause of death?" Ragner asked, although he had never met Cook, but since he had helped Irene escape and save her life, Ragner could not let him die like this. Kindness must be repaid and revenge must be repaid, this is Regner's principle, even if Cook is dead, he still has to do something to repay him.
"Poisoning. Kordak spread his hands: "This matter is actually not complicated. Mr. Cook has not paid protection money to the forces in the town for several years, and the reason why nothing happened before is because the previous boss of the town had received a favor from Mr. Cook. But that guy was killed by the current boss a few years ago. The new boss is a ruthless master, and when he sees that Cook does not pay protection money, he poisons and kills him. ”
"How? He didn't tie Cook up and force him to drink the poison, did he? I think he died after drinking. Regner said.
"It's the proprietress ......" Cordak sighed, "It's her poison, she may have been threatened by the boss, or she may have wanted to monopolize Mr. Cook's tavern, I'm not sure about this." ”
"......" Regner thought silently, then nodded, "I see, thank you, boss." ”
