Chapter 5: Mercenary Squad
The intense hunger caused Ragner to wake up, and he turned his head to look around and found himself in what appeared to be in a tent. But just such a simple action brought his wound, and Regner couldn't help but snort twice.
"Awake?" Kordak heard Regner's movement and lifted the curtain and walked in.
Regna recognized this as the man who had slain the head dragon with his sword, and he sat up with difficulty, and said with a little gratitude, "Did you save me? Thank you, where am I?"
"Alright, don't be so polite to talk to me. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kordak, and I'm a mercenary. Kordak pulled out his mercenary badge and lit it up.
"Hello, my name is Regner...... "Regner's heart jumped when he said this, he wanted to tell the other party his origin, but suddenly found that the identity of the fugitive from the Hawke Empire was a little disgraceful. If the Empire had offered a bounty on the fugitives, Kordak would have traded him for some bounty, and given his current physical condition, he wouldn't be able to run even if he wanted to.
Just as Regner didn't know how to answer, Kordaq seemed to see something, he smiled and said, "Look at your clothes, it seems that you are a prisoner sent by the Hawke Empire?"
Regnar raised his head vigilantly, and Kordak raised his hands to comfort, "Don't be nervous, since we recognized your identity and rescued you, we won't send you back again." Besides, there is no reward for sending it back. ”
Seeing that Regner was still silent, Kordaq continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should still have a lot of questions. I'm not going to beat around the bush, I'm just going to tell you. You should know that you came to the Eastern Continent with the transport ship, and this is the forest on the west coast of the Eastern Continent, called the Silvermoon Forest. We took on a mission to escort the caravan, and now that we have completed the mission, we are on the way back to Meteorite City, and we met you and were besieged by the Swift Shadow Dragon, and then we rescued you. ”
"Look. Kordaq spread his hands: "I've told you so much, can you at least tell me where you came from?"
Regner was silent for a moment and said, "I was originally an orphan living in Melindel, because of the ...... He was arrested and imprisoned for stealing, and then came to the Eastern Continent in a daze. And then ...... I managed to escape from prison and wandered in the forest for a few days when I met you. ”
Kordak frowned after hearing this: "I have two questions. ”
"Please. ”
"First of all, as far as I know, most of the prisoners sent to the Eastern Continent are guilty of serious crimes, such as robbery, murder, and bowing. And your statement that you were exiled for theft sounds a bit outrageous. Secondly, I heard that in order to facilitate the management of the Hawke Empire, all the exiled prisoners are ordinary people who don't know any magic or fighting spirit, and I have seen the scene where you fought with the Swift Shadow Dragon before, and you obviously already have a level 5 fighting spirit. Boy, I saved your life, don't you still want to tell the truth, or are you deliberately hiding something?" Kordak looked at Regner with some dissatisfaction.
Regner smiled wryly and said, "Believe it or not, I actually thought of these two things, but I also don't know why. ”
Kordak saw that Regner's expression didn't look like he was lying, and he couldn't say anything more, so he changed the subject and asked, "So what are you going to do next?"
Regner was stunned for a moment, and replied a little blankly: "I don't know what to do in the future......
"In that case, then you can follow us back to Meteor City first. Looking at your current injuries, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to move alone. Kordak suggested.
"Meteor City, where is that?"
"The largest city built by native humans on the Eastern Continent, where my companions and I live. ”
Hearing that there was a human city, Regner was overjoyed, and then he was moved by the righteousness of Cordak and others, and said sneeringly: "Thank you...... Thank you!"
"Okay, I said don't be polite to me. And it's all Vera's mother-in-law's idea to save you, thank her. Kordaq stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Can you move now?"
"Okay. Regner struggled to his feet.
"Hey, Kordak, come over for dinner. Oh, kids, are you awake? Come on, come on, sit down and eat together. "Vera has shown great enthusiasm for Regner.
"Thank you, hello, my name is Regner and I'm fifteen years old. Regner replied with black lines. Although he is a little baby-faced and thin, it is remarkable to see Vera look like she can be twenty years old, and it is no wonder that Regner is not very cool to be called a child by such a girl who is not much older, so he deliberately pointed out his age.
"Look, my sister is four years older than the child! Come on, come on, my sister will give you a barbecue to eat. Vera smiled and handed over a piece of meat, which was the Swift Shadow Dragon meat that she had killed in the morning.
"Uh, thank you...... Miss...... of life-saving grace. Ragner almost snatched the roast away, mumbling it down as he gobbled it up.
"That's nothing. Hey, the kids are hungry. Vera looked at Regner's eating and touched his head lovingly. Regner, on the other hand, was in tears while frantically replenishing his energy.
"I said, you're not much older than others, so you don't need motherhood to run rampant here. In the end, Kordak couldn't stand it anymore, and then patted Regner on the back and reminded: "Okay, you've been hungry for days, don't eat too much at this time, take your time, I'll introduce you to my companion first." ”
"This mother-in-law's name is Vera, and she has been shouting all morning that she is the one who wants to save you. Kordaq said, pointing at Vera.
Regner nodded gratefully at Vera, and then finally began to take a closer look at the woman in front of her.
To be honest, Vera is not a beauty, the first impression at first glance is that she looks mediocre, but the combination of long fiery red hair and not rough facial features is very attractive. And the most striking thing about Vera is his figure, to be honest, Regner has never seen a woman with such a good figure, tall and slender, with long round and slender legs, unlike those overly thin women whose legs are like bamboo poles, and I don't want those fat women whose legs are like tree trunks.
Such perfect legs, coupled with a slender waist without a trace of fat and plump and firm breasts, only made the young Regner a little stunned, in fact, it was not that he was born lustful, but Vera's figure was too hot.
Regner was stunned for a moment, then looked away a little embarrassed, not daring to look at Vera again.
"Hee-hee, you see he's still shy. Hmph, sure enough, my mercenary team is not in vain!" Vera was a little proud.
However, Kordaq pouted: "What's so proud about the dog's tail flower, not to mention that you are the only woman in the whole team." ”
"Kordak, what right do you bear have to say that I believe or not the old lady chopped off your bear paws and cooked them?" said Vera, wielding the dagger on her lap and waving it.
"I'm too lazy to fight with you. In order to hide his weakness, Kordak shouted to Selenos, who was cutting the skin of the Swift Shadow Dragon in the distance, "Selenos! ”
As Selenos approached, Regner saw someone by the light of the fire. Although Selenus was not as tall as Kordak, his face was very handsome, and the faint cold air between his eyebrows added a bit of charm to him.
"This is Selenos, and your wound is what he bandaged. Kordaq stood up and put his arm around Selenos' shoulders affectionately.
Regner nodded gratefully and said, "My name is Regner, thank you for saving my life." ”
Selenus just nodded faintly and didn't speak.
Regner looked a little embarrassed, but Cordak smiled and said, "Don't mind, Selenos has always been a stuffy gourd. We don't necessarily hear him say ten words a day with him, but this guy is really good. ”
"It doesn't matter. Regner smiled.
