"From my observations, I think you already have the qualifications to be my apprentice. So, now it's your turn to choose. Strength, or wealth?" said Vellais.

"If you choose wealth, then you will become my subordinate, use the power of the Shadow Dancer to serve me, and I can give you endless wealth. If you choose power, then you will become

For my second disciple, I will make you very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine. But you have to face Balor, and it is even possible to die at his hands. But once you win this competition, then you can inherit everything from me. ”

"Grow up. Regner asked, "If I choose to be obscure and not compete with Baror, will he let me go?

Vellais shook his head: "I don't know, Balor's personality has become difficult to guess now, so I can't guarantee your safety." ”

"Then it looks like I don't have a choice. Regner looked up at the elf who was much taller than him: "Counting this time, Anne should have saved me four times, right? She has done so much for me, do I still have the face to continue to coax, and I can't even guarantee her safety?"

Verles smiled and looked at Regner, and he saw the fire flickering in the young man's eyes, the flame that could burn the world: "So what is your choice?"

"I want strength, I want to be strong. Strong enough to not be bullied, strong enough to protect the people around him from being bullied, strong enough to beat Baror's neurotic brother back to Sister Vera!" Regner said seriously, and at this moment he was extremely determined. And it was only later that he learned that he had almost paid his life for it in order to realize what he said at this time.

Wellies nodded, he put away his expression, and said seriously: "Very good, then from today, you will officially become the second disciple of my Wellles." Balor was given the name 'Nightblade' by me, and you, I give you the title of 'Dark Elegy' as the leader of the Lunaris Thieves Guild and your teacher. Regnar Dark Elegy, I hope this title will be a title of awe for all in the years to come. I want you to be my most outstanding and proud disciple. ”

"Regner must have lived up to the expectations of his teacher. Regner also rarely looked serious, but he secretly muttered in his heart that he didn't know if he was right to answer this, and it would not be good if he answered wrong and ruined the serious atmosphere created by the teacher.

......

A few days later, in Falling Star City, in the Bright Star Tavern, in the rooms of Kordak.

Annelot waved her hand to remove her detection spell, secretly surprised in her heart. Although she had already guessed that the level reduction would greatly affect her strength, she did not expect that this effect would be so large. A simple detection spell would have consumed so much of her mana, which was unimaginable before.

For people who are used to being strong, it is always a little uncomfortable to suddenly become weak. But Anne Lott was surprised, but she was not frustrated or regretted. For her, the fourth-level magic power was indeed a great loss, but it was never unacceptable, and it was only a matter of time before she cultivated it again. She has this self-confidence, and Anne Lot has always been a very confident person.

"The thousand-year-old snow lotus is well absorbed, and you gain another ten years of life. Annelot told Kordak the results of the detection.

"Great! Ten years is enough, enough time for us to find something that will strengthen your life force. Vera was the first to cry out.

"Haha, I'll just say that Lao Tzu's life is hard, so can he die so easily?" Kordaq grinned, he was already ready to live for less than a few years, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have survived this hurdle.

"I must remind you that the vitality brought to you by the thousand-year-old snow lotus is enough for you to live normally for ten years, but this is only a theoretical time. If you get injured again in the future, it will also cost you your life, and as a mercenary, injuries are inevitable. Therefore, this thousand-year-old snow lotus can actually only let you live for four or five years longer. Anne Lot was merciless in pouring cold water on Kordak.

Since returning from Snow Rock last time, Annelot has not been as polite to Kordaq as she used to be, and her tone has always been tinged with a touch of coldness and subtle sarcasm.

But Kordak and Vera didn't care, it was indeed Kordak who did something wrong at the hotel, and it was normal for Anne Lot to be a little dissatisfied now. In fact, it is also a good thing to have such emotions, which shows that Anne Lot's attitude towards Kordak is no longer that kind of indifferent and indifferent. This shows that the girl has accepted Kordaq and accepted this mercenary team from another aspect.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, anyway, there are a few years to live, and the rest of the things will be talked about when the time comes. Kordak waved his hand nonchalantly.

Anne Lot gave Kordak a cold look and said no more.

"Tuk-tuk", there was a knock on the door, and Anne Lot turned to open the door.

Regner stood in the doorway, waking up and recuperating from his injuries in Snow Rock City for a few days, and then rushed back to Meteor City without stopping.

He thought it would be Kordak or Vera who opened the door, but he didn't expect that Annelot's delicate and beautiful face would be the first to appear in front of him.

"You...... That one...... Long time no see. Regner stammered.

Ever since he knew what Anne Lot had done for herself, Regner now had a more inexplicable feeling about the girl.

For the past few days, he's been thinking about what to say first when he sees Annelot.

He thought about crying a handful of snot and tears when they met, and then took Annelot's hand and said, "Thank you for your dedication to me! I am so touched! I will always remember you in the future!"

But he felt that this appearance might provoke the girl to directly put a fireball on his face.

He also thought about grinning directly when he met, and then patted the girl's shoulder vigorously and said: "I already know everything, don't say anything, you will look at me in the future! Lao Tzu must protect you, whether it is an orc or Balor, all of them will be blown up to you!"

But he felt that this pretended heroic appearance would also provoke the girl to directly paste a fireball on his face.

He also thought about pretending to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know anything. So, uh...... Naturally, Anne's proud character will not be debunked, so she will not use fireballs to cover her face. But Regner felt that if he dared to do this, he was afraid that he would be the first to use the fireball to smear himself in the face.

He has been thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days, but he has never found any good way to deal with it. Therefore, when Annelot suddenly appeared in front of him, Regner seemed a little caught off guard, and could only say "long time no see" dryly.

Anne Lot nodded, and when she saw Regner standing alive in front of her, a flash of joy flashed in the girl's eyes that she could not even perceive. She nodded to Regner, "You're back." ”

Ragner tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and after thinking about it, he said, "I know everything, this time...... Thank you this time. ”

Looking at Regner's expression of "the two of us have done something unseemly", Anne Lot seemed to be infected by him, and the girl nodded with a little embarrassment, but said nothing.

"Oh! Stinky boy, you're back. Cordak came out of the house, and then called out again, "Vera, little ray is back." ”

Then Regner heard Vera's exclamation, and after a hurried footstep, Vera also walked out.

"Boss, Sister Vera. Regner looked at his two big brothers and sisters, and his heart was also very happy, if it weren't for Annelot, he would almost not see these people. At this time, the girl took a few steps back and was standing behind Kordak.

"Come, come, come in. Kordak patted Regner on the back and saw that the kid was still the same thin look, but his body was intact and all the parts were there.

......

After entering the house, Regner briefly told Cordak and Vera about his experience in the past few days.

Through Regner's storytelling, Cordak and Vera learn that Ragnar's poison was cured at great cost by Anne Lot. I also know that Regner has become a key training target for the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. At the same time, they also learned that Regner could have a very dangerous enemy.

Of course, Regner had reservations when it came to telling all this. He didn't tell Kordak that he had become a disciple of the guild leader, nor did he say that the enemy was his fellow brother, let alone that this fellow disciple was Barol, Vera's younger brother.

It's not that Regnar doesn't believe Cordak and Vera, it's just that there are some things that could get the two of them into trouble as well. Moreover, Baror's identity is really sensitive, so he decided not to let Vera know about it yet.

"Boss, this enemy of mine is very dangerous. You ...... later," Regner said and stopped.

Kordaq guessed what Regner was trying to say, he slapped Regner on the back of the head and laughed and said, "Stinky boy, what do you want to do!

You picked it up from the Silvermoon Forest and took you with you as a mercenary to eat and drink spicy food. Now that you have the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild as a big backer, don't you want Lao Tzu? I'll tell you, no way! Don't try to get rid of Lao Tzu so easily!"

"But boss, that guy is really scary, you didn't see him that time. He ......"

Before Regner could finish speaking, Kordak interrupted Regner with a wave of his hand, and he said, "Okay, little Ray, you don't have to say anything." As you said, that enemy is terrible, and you're not very strong right now, do you think I can leave you alone and hide far away? Is that the kind of person your boss is?"

Regner opened his mouth, but said nothing. Indeed, Kordak's character is very clear to him, and it is impossible for him to leave this kind of thing alone.

What's more, Cordak and Vera are so close again, even if Cordak and Vera are far away from him, Regner doesn't believe that Vera's younger brother will let Kordak and the two go. Therefore, he did not have much hope for his persuasion.
