Chapter 37: Farewell, my brother
Meteor City, the headquarters of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
"My lord, I've got all the information about Regner. Annelot said coldly, her face should have looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but those who knew her knew that it would be a big mistake to treat Annelot as an ordinary little girl.
At least she showed a calmness and ability that was completely inconsistent with her age when she helped the president deal with things, and many people suffered because they underestimated her, the most typical being Alex.
"Leave it to me. Vellais stopped what he was doing.
Anne Lot flipped through the information and pulled out a thin piece of paper from it.
The original information was a very detailed and even somewhat cumbersome record of Regner's life, which even included what Regner ate on that day. But Anne Lott knew that most of the information on it was not needed by Wellles, and all she had to do was to eliminate the unimportant information and select the useful ones to report to Wellles.
It's easy to say, it's hard to say, but Anne Lot has been doing a good job, she has read this information carefully several times, she spent half an hour to make a rough order of the information, and then summarize the useful information in it, and organize it all onto that piece of paper.
Wellais looked at Annelot's summary, and then fell into deep thought.
"Barol is still with the orcs?" Vellais asked suddenly.
The question seemed a bit unexpected, but Annelot was clearly prepared: "I think it should be, according to your request, we have sent an order to him to come back, but Barol does not seem to obey, we have found no trace of him in the human realm, so it is likely that he is still in the orc area." ”
Vellais frowned, it was obvious that this man named Barol was giving him some headaches, he thought for a moment and then said, "Contact him one more time, at least find a way to determine his location." ”
"Okay. Anello nodded.
Verlais picked up Regner's information again, looked at it, and then asked, "Based on your experience, how much time do you think it will take for Regner to awaken his powers?"
"I can't be sure, my lord. Anne Lot replied slightly apologetically, "Regner didn't receive any cultivation guidance in his previous life, so his situation will be a bit special. However, based on his performance in the Night Song Forest, I think that in one year at the earliest, at the slowest in three years, his potential will fully explode. ”
"One to three years?" Welleis held his chin in his hand and thought for a moment, then looked at the frost girl in front of him with an interested look and said, "You've been in the guild for almost fifteen years, haven't you?"
"Yes, sir. ”
"Haven't you felt bored after more than ten years in this kind of place?" asked Verles.
"My life is given by adults, and it is my honor to be able to serve you. Although Annelot had some doubts about Velles's question, her tone still did not fluctuate.
"Interested in going out and having a look?"
"Huh?"
......
"Why are you looking at me like that? I won't eat you. Kordak noticed that Regner was always glancing at him with his giant panda eyes, his voice hoarse as if his throat was rubbing against steel.
"Boss, you almost ate us both last night. Regner said with a sigh of relief.
"Isn't that the sequelae of the fall of the moon, and I can't help it. Kordak was a little helpless.
Last night was Kordak's first full moon night, and the two of them tied Kordak to a tree trunk the thickness of a basin as they had agreed, and watched with interest how Kordak had turned from a bear to a werewolf with an embarrassed face.
It didn't take long for something terrible to happen, and the first thing that changed was Kordak's teeth.
In just one minute, Kordak's two tiger teeth, which were already very thick, had grown more than a centimeter again, and sharp teeth peeked out from the corners of his thick mouth, flashing with a palpitating white light.
After that, his hair began to grow, and although he did not grow a dog's hair like a werewolf, Kordak, who was already vigorous in his hair, became like a wild man without evolution under the stimulation of alchemical potions.
Bloodthirsty desires soon overrode Kordak's sanity, and he looked at his two companions in front of him with greedy eyes, instinctive desire made him want to pounce on them and tear their flesh, but he couldn't move under the thick hemp rope.
A terrible and furious roar resounded throughout the forest, and at first Vera and Regner were worried that such a roar would attract some terrible monsters.
But they forgot that werewolves themselves were extremely terrifying magical beasts, and that the other weak magical beasts had already trembled with fear under the roar of Kordak, so it was a terrifying night, but there were no accidents.
When dawn came, Kordak gradually returned to his original form, and the recovered Kordak was weakened - this seemed normal to Vera and Regner, and any creature should feel tired from struggling and howling in the forest for a whole night.
So they weren't surprised that Kordak fell asleep upside down, but in addition to Kordak, who howled all night, Vera and Regner, who had been howling all night, didn't close their eyes all night.
Because even if the two of them were absolutely sure of the toughness of the rope, it would be impossible for them to sleep peacefully in a super noisy environment of 100 decibels. So when Cordak went to sleep, Vera got into her sleeping bag for the second time, and the rest of Regna could only slap and refresh herself.
After such a toss, the most exhausted became the youngest Regner. Looking at the dark circles under his eyes like smoky makeup, looking at the big bags under his eyes that looked like they were swollen, and then looking at his face that was really swollen for refreshment, Kordak took a general look at Regna and understood his resentful energy.
By noon, Vera and Kordaq had finally woken up, and by this time Regner had become a little numb to the tiredness. After discussing it, the three of them decided to go and find Selenos's body first, and then rest.
Although Regner said that he had sprinkled alchemical potions on the body of Selenos to prevent it from decomposing before leaving, and had sprinkled special powder around the corpse to disperse the beasts around it, even Regner felt that it was best to hurry over, after all, it still made them very guilty to leave the remains of their companions in the wild like this.
To their relief, Selenos' body was still there, seemingly undamaged.
"I'm back, my brother. Kordak slowly walked over to Selenos and sat down, his hoarse voice making his tone heavier.
Regnar and Vera also looked at this companion with red eyes, who could never wake up, and although they pretended to be very relaxed all the way after leaving the elven tribe, they also found that they could not escape the fact of the death of Selenos no matter what, and they could not forget this silent and handsome man.
"Big Brother Selenos......" Regner looked at Selenos' corpse, tears already rolling in his eyes. Although they killed all the orcs to avenge Celenos, the pleasure of revenge could never make up for the pain lost.
Vera gently patted Regner on the shoulder, then motioned to leave with her.
"Actually, it was Kordak who was hit the hardest. Vera and Regner said softly as they pitched their tents, "The two of them were together long before I knew them, and I once asked Kordak when the two of them met, but Kordak didn't answer. ”
"......" Regner looked at Kordak who was sitting quietly over there a little wordlessly, he had always been accustomed to Kordak's loud voice and activity, and such a silent and quiet Kordak made his heart ache.
He must be very sad, right? Otherwise, how could this man who laughed heartily even when he became a monster be so silent?
"You've been tired for almost two days, I'll keep vigil tonight, you have a good rest, as for Kordak...... Let him stay with Selenos for another night tonight. Vera said with a sigh.
......
It was as if the endless tiredness made Regner sleep very deadly, but when he woke up, he did not have the feeling of being refreshed and refreshed. The thought of Selenos' death filled his heart with sorrow.
Kordak's eyes were red, his hair was unkempt, and his face was faintly stained with tears. Obviously, Kordak must have cried alone in a place where the two of them couldn't see.
After saying their final goodbyes to Selenos's body, Kordak and the others cremated Selenos's body, for mercenaries, it is very common for the corpse wilderness to become the dung of wild beasts, and it is a very decent way for them to dispose of the body by being able to completely disappear in the flames.
Kordak looked at the body burning in the flames, and slowly said goodbye, "Farewell, my brother." ”
The three of them disposed of Selenos' ashes and were about to leave, but at that moment, four humans suddenly appeared in front of them.
