Chapter 68: Grievances
"Giant Bears Are Not Iron-Blooded!Shame on the Empire!"
No doubt a few days later, the Daily Mellindale made the headlines of the day. Although Kordak has not yet been returned, the news that he has been captured by the Stray Holy Lance has already arrived.
In this news, the Daily Merlindale lashed out at Kordak's misdeeds in the Empire - desertion, attacks on Imperial officials, and injuries to Imperial princes. Either of these things can be regarded as a great crime. And under the irresponsible speculation of some other unscrupulous media, Kordaq was even portrayed as a military spy sent to the Hawk Empire by the Stoke Empire!
For a time, the entire Melindell was outraged, and a small number of people even held a march inside Melindell, where they strongly demanded that the Empire ignore Kordak's military exploits in the southern battlefield and cut him down. Even the more radical "patriots" think that others related to Kordaq are equally damned. Maybe they may also be spies sent by the Stoke Empire, and they would rather kill by mistake than let go!
......
"Bang!"
Ragnar was furious, and he directly smashed his solid wood desk worth hundreds of gold coins, and scattered pieces of paper with sawdust all over the floor.
Snow lowered his head and carefully took Regner's anger, he knew that now Regner was angry, and he definitely didn't do anything else at this time, just stand silently and follow his arrangement.
"What's going on?" Regner stared at Snow with a gloomy face, "Didn't I say don't let them track down the old ...... Why did he get caught?"
"It is true that the intelligence of the clues in Kordak was not provided by our military intelligence service. Snow was prepared, he took out a few documents and handed them to Regner with his head down: "We have never provided any practical information about Kordak, and his location seems to have been found by other departments......"
"Then why didn't you warn me!" Regner roared like an angry lion.
"Your Excellency......" Snow replied, "I did warn you, but you told me not to care......"
"Don't take your anger out on anyone who doesn't have to!" was the only one Garona could scold Regner on this occasion.
"......" Regner closed his eyes and controlled his emotions for a moment, then he remembered. That's right, Snow did remind him the other day. He said Kordaq seems to have been being chased a bit tightly lately, and there may be other intelligence agencies tracking him as well. However, at the time, Regner chose to ignore it because he was angry with Kordak's betrayal. Snow seems to have reminded Regner twice, but both times Regner didn't care.
Because subconsciously, Regner also felt that with Kordak's ability, it should be a simple matter to escape from the Hawke Empire.
But Regner miscalculated one thing. That is, he did not expect that Kordak had been wandering around the north, and although he was chased and fled, he did not flee and did not leave the Hawk Empire. Because he still wants to find another chance to catch Elan, because he is still thinking about how to find Vera. So his range of motion is more and more restricted. At the end of the day, it wasn't a surprise to be caught
And when Kordak fled in embarrassment, Regner felt a kind of gnashing of teeth. You want to kill me? You want to harm me? You want to use me to pave the way for you to be promoted and make a fortune? Are you coming? Are you killing me? You can only be chased and fleeing in embarrassment, like a defeated dog!
But when Kordak was really caught, Regner arrived angry and unbearable. Did he really let him die like this? Even if he used it, he saved his life after all......
Regner hesitated.
"Your Excellency......" Snow lowered his head and asked, "Do you want me to move on this matter......"
"How do you want to move? That's a wandering holy lance!" Regner asked rhetorically.
"It is true that the person in charge of escorting Kordak is the Stray Holy Lance, but the Stray Holy Lance has a close relationship with His Highness Alexander. Snow analyzed in a low voice, "If we make some gestures with Alexander, I think His Highness will be happy to help us intercede with his teacher." And even if the powerhouses of the Holy Domain are also people, as long as they are human, it is inevitable that there will be times when they take a nap or relax, and it is not strange to run away even if one or two people run away at this time, right?"
"How dare you make such a deal right under the nose of His Majesty?!" Regner stared at Snow as he stared at Snow before suddenly realizing that he didn't understand the Stoker. He usually behaves in a low-key manner, but there are times when he does amazing things. And at such a blatant time to trade with Alexander, I'm afraid that Ralvin won't turn a blind eye. What the hell is he trying to do?
"Snow doesn't dare!" Snow didn't bow his head this time, he looked at Regner, and then said sincerely: "Snow just thinks that although you have some unpleasantness with Mr. Kordak, but Snow feels that deep down in your heart, you must still attach great importance to Mr. Kordak." Snow is just trying to find a way to rescue Mr. Kordaq for the adults, and there is absolutely no other meaning!"
"......" If Snow lowered his head just now, then Regner would definitely wonder if he had other purposes, but Snow had been looking into Regner's eyes just now, he didn't escape at all, there was only sincerity in his eyes, not like lying at all.
Eventually, Regner could only slow down his attitude: "Let me think again." ”
"Yes. ”
Regner was silent for a long time, he thought about many things, thought about the little things he got along with Kordak, thought about how Kordak took care of him, thought about his sword that night, although it did not cut off his head, but broke his heart, and finally, he thought of what the two had promised that night: from now on, En broke off.
So, Regna sat in front of the broken table and thought for half an hour, and finally he shook his head firmly: "No! he has nothing to do with me, we don't need to worry about this matter, just leave it alone!"
"Your Excellency!" Snow was about to say something, and he seemed to be more anxious about Kordak's safety than Regner.
"Shut up!" Regner roared like thunder: "This matter is settled, don't fucking ramble anymore, get out of here!"
"......" Snow's eyes flashed with an incomprehensible light, as if disappointed, as if regretful, but also with unbearability and apologies...... Regardless, the Stoke man quickly hid all his expressions. He replied, "Since the adults have made up their minds, then Snow will not say more, and Snow will retire." ”
After Snow left, Regner sat down in his chair in despair, muttering, "I'm sorry......"
"Since you're sorry, why don't you help him?" asked Garona.
"But I can't forgive him either. Regner thought back to what had happened that night, and felt a surge of rage. If Kordak were standing in front of him now, he would not have to fight Kordak again. He would step on Kordak's head and scold him for being ruthless and unjust.
"Human beings are really contradictory, they obviously have more desired results in their hearts, but because of some ridiculous and incomprehensible feelings, they choose what they don't want to accept. Garona sighed, "But let it be, at least that way, you can keep your place in this empire." ”
"......" Regna was silent, and he sat in his chair for an hour, and then went out to find someone to change the table and continue his work.
That night, Regner and Erin got into an argument for the first time. This is the first time the two of them have quarreled, before Regner has always been very tolerant and gentle towards Irene, and Erin has always been a gentle and obedient little girl, and nothing unpleasant has ever happened to the two of them together.
And that night, Regner still quarreled with Erin, the half-elf girl who knew him best, who knew him best.
The half-elf insisted that Regner save Kordark, but Ragner stubbornly disagreed. Both of them have their own reasons, this time, Regner, who has always been tolerant and easy-going to Erin, does not agree with Erin, and Erin, who has always been gentle and well-behaved, also appears to be extremely tough.
In the end, Annelot and Inilis, who were forcibly pulled, also joined the battle. As we know, a man and a woman quarrel is not dominant in itself. At this time, Regner has to face three women at the same time, one is the sharp-tongued Inilis, one is Annelot, who has the ability to kill you if you are unhappy, and the other is Erin, who knows any psychological loopholes of Regner......
As you can imagine, Regner was killed in the early stages of the war. But this guy always insisted on his point of view like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed, no matter whether the three women were bitter or coercive and seductive, Regner was never moved.
In the end, the three women failed to persuade Regner to change his mind. In the end, it was Anne Lot, who was a little angry.
"I am also the head of a magic academy, at least I can do something! It doesn't matter if I don't have your help!"
The other two girls followed Anne Lot like a follower, and they also left without saying hello.
"What are you waiting for? What are you holding onto?" asked Garona.
"A reason. Sitting in his chair, he bent over his head in his hands, and said with some grievance: "I have enough reasons to put Kordak to death, but I have never been able to find a reason to pull him out of the fire pit." Why...... It's mine every time, why ...... All the mistakes, I will bear the responsibility......"
But no matter how much Regna struggled internally, he didn't make any action in the end. A few days later, Kordaq was sent by Kevin to Melindale, where he was imprisoned in the lower prisons of the Empire.
