Chapter Twenty-Four: Deadly Calm
As the night gradually enveloped the blue level, Regner looked at the rising moon with some boredom, and suddenly sighed. For some reason, he had been a little distracted since he left Yorktown in the afternoon.
After the four mercenaries left Yorktown, they were ready to leave for Meteor City, but because of Kordak, they did not rush to leave today, but found a relatively remote corner of Biping Plains and set up camp.
"Annie, it's up to you tonight. In the distance, Kordak shouted to Annelot.
"Okay. Anello nodded.
Tonight will be the night of the full moon, and under the influence of the fall of the moon, Kordaq will once again incarnate as a werewolf tonight.
At first, Regner and Vera had a headache about the night of the full moon, but with the addition of the girl mage and the two years of exploration, they have developed a very effective way to survive the night.
It's actually very simple, that is, Anne Lot used sleep techniques to make the werewolf Kordak become sluggish, although he may not be able to fall asleep, but at least it will not make Kordak become manic.
Next, Vera is responsible for calming Cordak's emotions and keeping him calm.
Oddly enough, Kordak, who had become a werewolf, was very wary and hostile to either Regner or Annelot. However, this is not the case when facing Vera, who is not as docile as a sheep in front of Vera, but Vera can at least approach him and have a simple exchange with him.
After several people's research, they found that Kordak in the werewolf state was like Kordak's second personality. He also thinks and has emotions, but usually appears irritable and bloodthirsty. On top of that, the werewolf Kordaq and the human Kordaq seem to share a part of the memory, the memory of Vera.
So, the werewolf Kordaq would attack anyone, but he never did anything to hurt Vera. This is also the reason why Vera was able to appease him.
For this phenomenon, Regner always sighs "The power of love is great", and then every time he is doubled by Cordak and Vera.
Of course, hypnosis and appeasement don't work every time, and werewolves often go berserk. And whenever this happens, no matter how much Vera tries to dissuade it, it is useless. Therefore, at this time, the only choice is to let Anne Lot suppress violently.
Although the werewolf Cordak has super physical fitness, this is still far from enough in front of Anelot the Water Resistant. As long as the girl wants, she can easily subdue this Kordak who has no tactical mind, although the werewolf may take some damage, but compared to the safety of everyone in the team, this injury is nothing to Kordak.
Ragnar suddenly became more irritable at the thought of what had happened tonight, and he tore the weeds on the ground casually, hoping to vent his head.
"Are you irritable?" Anne Lot looked at Regner, to be honest, although the girl usually looks cold, but if you want to say that the person who cares about Ragner the most meticulously, she is still the one after all.
Regner nodded: "One thing, I don't know why, I always feel a little annoyed in my heart." ”
"Do you need a placation?"
Regner shook his head: "Forget it, I'll find a place where no one is to practice my sword, thank you." ”
Anelote nodded and said nothing.
Regner searched for a long time in his backpack, and then remembered that he had been used as a woodcutter by Kordak two days ago. So he shouted, "Boss, where's my sword?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Didn't you borrow wood to chop wood two days ago?"
"Huh?" Kordak was stunned for a moment, then said curtly, "That...... Looks like I left it in the kitchen of the Jehart's house......"
"It's really your ......" Regna was full of black lines, he saw that it was not very late, so he got up and said to a few people: "Then I'll go back and get it, anyway, it's enough for the three of you tonight." ”
"Okay, bring the contact crystal, go early and come back early. "Kordak won't stop them, they won't have anywhere else to go tonight anyway.
Regner got his gear on and walked out of the camp.
Although the Lights-Swallowing Sword was very important to Regner, Ragner would normally not have to walk for hours in the middle of the night to retrieve it for it. What really drove Regner back to Yorktown was a strong sense of unease. He always thought something was going to happen at the Jehart house tonight, so he wanted to rush back and see.
The feeling of uneasiness grew stronger, and Regna unconsciously quickened his pace, because he only brought some weapons and equipment for self-defense and did not carry a backpack. So Regner was on his way a lot faster. What had taken them five hours to complete was covered by Regner in three hours.
It was already dark at night, and Regna was relieved to see that Yorktown was as peaceful and peaceful as ever.
"Looks like I'm overthinking. Ragner thought to himself.
He wanted to sneak it all and leave after swallowing it all, and he didn't plan to say hello to the Jehart family again. After all, if the two little girls see themselves again, I am afraid that they will inevitably be sad.
Regner came to the back door of Jehart's house, and he gently opened the kitchen window and silently climbed inside.
Jehart's house is still as clean and tidy as it gets, the lights in the living room are still on, and there are still people talking, are there other guests?
Ragner soon found his swallow in the corner, where the sword lay quietly, its blade glittering with a palpitating chill.
"That's it, let's go. Regner picked it up and nodded in satisfaction.
But just as he was about to leave, a faint smell of blood came into his nose, which made his face change suddenly, because the smell seemed to come from the living room!
"My lord, what do you think of these people?" asked Klat, who was behind him, although he didn't quite agree with Nabil's approach, but Nebil was the boss of this team, so it was better not to go against him.
"Find a place and burn them all. Nebil frowned, with a "Do you still need to ask about such a thing?" on his face, and then muttered to himself, "It's a shame that those two little guys died before they could play." ”
What used to be a warm and tidy living room has now turned into a bloody hell, and Minnie Mouse's head has been cut off by Nabil's Ice Throwing Knife. Her little face was still angry and frightened before she died, but if you look closely, everyone can see a little hope in her eyes.
Jehart was pierced through the heart by the Ice Throwing Knife, his left arm was completely severed and fell to the side, his right hand was on his chest, his face was extremely resentful and angry, and his mouth was wide open, as if he was about to let out a roar of rage.
Innellis was better, she only had a bottomless wound in her abdomen. But her eyes were closed, and her chest didn't heavily breathe.
Ragnar walked out of the shadows of the hallway with a blank face, and he was shocked when he saw the bloody scene in the living room, but after a moment he regained his expressionless appearance, as if nothing had to do with him.
Ragnar didn't look at Nebil and the others, he just silently walked up to Minnie Mouse, gently picked up her head and put it back on her body. Although he seemed very calm when he did all this, his trembling hands revealed his inner turmoil.
"Brother Regner is the richest, buy us snacks to eat every day!" Regner silently recalled the voice and smile of this lovely little girl, and the kiss before parting seemed to have left a faint fragrance on his cheeks, but now, she is no longer there......
He stared into Minnie's eyes, trying to feel the little girl's dying feelings. But he saw only fear, but not despair, for he saw that glimmer of hope in Minnie's eyes.
Yes, Minnie Mouse was indeed expecting, expecting someone to come suddenly. The man stepped up to her and her sister while Reed was bullying her and her sister and taught the nasty guy a hard lesson. She and her sister giggled when they heard him tell him how to teach Reed, and the man promised that I would teach him a lesson if anyone dared to bully you in the future.
So the little girl also firmly believes that this time that person will also come back. will teach the hateful man in front of him a lesson, so that they will never dare to bully Minnie Mouse again.
The man returned, but he was late......
If it could be earlier, if it could be twenty ...... earlier No, even for ten minutes. Regner will be able to catch up, and he will be able to stop this from happening.
But ...... He's late, it's late...... If only it could have been sooner...... If only it could have been sooner...... If only it had been earlier!!! abominable! abominable! abominable abominable!!!!!!!!
Despite the storm inside, Regner was still so calm that anyone who got close could see that his face was full of tears. But he didn't have a single expression, and his tears didn't even make his breathing any disturbed. Regner tidied up Minnie Mouse and turned to look at Ghart.
"I have been able to support it in the past two years, and half of it is the faith and strength that you have brought me, my eldest brother. And the other half, it's just the two of them!"
"When their father died and their mother ran away, the two of them cried very sadly, crying and saying that no one cared about them anymore. At that time, I patted my chest and said, 'My brother is here, and my brother will take care of you!' At that time, I swore in my heart that no matter how hard I lived and how many people bullied me, I would not let the two of them suffer the slightest grievance! And this sentence has become the whole meaning of my future life. ”
You're desperately trying to protect your sister! But in this world, there are many things that you can't do with all your might, because ...... You're still too weak!
Similarly, Regnar sorted out Jarhardt's body and looked at his favorite, the youngest Innis.
Regner's hands trembled and took Innilis's small hands, then placed them on his face.
Looking at the little girl's chest that did not rise and fall without any breathing, Regner was completely desperate, but at this moment, Iniris's little hand moved imperceptibly, as if the little girl saw Regner's crying and wanted to wipe away the tears for him.
Finally, Regner's face changed drastically at that moment.
