"Huh?" Alex couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Regner's tone, and he said in some surprise: "How do I feel that you are not particularly angry about this?"

"I'm just a casual acquaintance with Rego, and I don't want to kill him, but if he dies at my hands, I don't particularly care. Regner shrugged: "Anyway, he was thinking of killing me at the time of the duel." Why, uncle, do you think you will be satisfied if I don't let you settle accounts with you now?"

"Of course not!" Alex waved his hand, he didn't know that Regner's mind had been liberated a lot under Garona's guidance.

"Rego and I aren't even friends, we can only say we know each other, so I don't particularly care about killing him. Regner narrowed his eyes, then said, "But I hate the feeling of being used as a gun." So, I don't want this to happen again. Also, if you calculate me, I can bear it, but if you implicate the boss or Anne, they can. Uncle, don't blame me for speaking rudely, I will use all my means to kill you!"

"Yes...... Really......" Alex's facial muscles twitched, and he was now more determined to stay away from Regner.

"Well, that's it. Now, then, tell me why you killed him!" Regner sighed, he was actually very annoyed by Alex's doing, because it made him feel like he was being played by someone else. But he can't just get rid of Alex or kill him because of this, right?

"Remember what we came to the Ice Plains in the first place?" Alex asked, after sorting out his thoughts.

"Of course, stop the barbarians from going south, no matter what method is used. Regner replied, and he continued, "But, I don't remember you said, that the mere assassination of the Barbarian King will only stop the Barbarian in a short time. In order to settle this issue once and for all, His Majesty finally put the hope of a solution on negotiations. That's why there is such a thing as ceding land and duels. ”

"That's right. Alex nodded: "I didn't lie to you about this. His Majesty did hope that by paying the price of a provincial land, the barbarians would be able to settle down. ”

"Then why do we have to set up a game to kill Rego when we have both of us already agreed?" asked Regner.

"Because Your Majesty wants greater gains. Alex shrugged: "Our empire paid a provincial land, if we can only get the support of a small part of the barbarians, and also bury the bane of a race in the north, this deal is not worth it." ”

"That's why you want Rego dead. Regner roughly understood: "Rego is the king of the barbarians, he not only has a strong personal force, but also has a very long-term vision. You're worried that once Rego gets a foothold in Semrela, the barbarians will be even more difficult to deal with in the future, right?"

"That's it. Alex nodded.

"But how do you guarantee that they will be obedient when Rego is dead?, and that if we have killed their king, aren't you afraid that these barbarians will fight us directly?" asked Regner.

"Since we have deposed one of their kings, we will naturally give him another king, a very well-behaved and obedient king. Alex smiled and said, "Actually, we have internal correspondence within the barbarians. ”

"Oh?" Regner was surprised.

"I'm sorry. Alex saluted again before he said, "Long before you took over MI, I had anticipated what was going on the Barbarians' side. So, at that time, I developed a very secretive informant within the barbarians. His name is Sam, and he is currently a seventeenth-level warrior. ”

"Are you going to make him the next Barbarian King?" Regna guessed, "but is he strong enough?"

"There are only 200,000 barbarians, and there are very few people who can reach the eighteenth level like Rego. Although Sam is only level seventeen, his strength can also rank among the top ten among the barbarians. Moreover, when Rego had just died, I and two other masters in the department each killed a brute who was a threat to Sam. And created quite a mess there. Alex said eloquently: "In this way, Sam's competitive pressure will be much less." ”

"Not only that, but those barbarians who were killed can also be used as scapegoats to put poisoned shit pots in their faces?" Regna whispered, "You're calculating!"

"Exactly. Alex nodded: "The poison in Rego is made from a mixture of two materials. One alone will not cause damage to him, but if a person takes one of the poisons, the other poison will be infiltrated into the bloodstream. Then he will be poisoned. ”

"Is it the Death of Fighting Spirit?" Ragner suddenly realized what kind of poison Alex was using.

"That's right, it's the Dou Qi Death developed by the Guild's Alchemy Department. Alex nodded.

Dou Qi Death, this poison is a poison independently developed by the Alchemy Department of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. Strictly speaking, it is not a poison, at least it does not directly kill people. But once a person who has been hit by this poison uses vindictive energy, he will be in trouble.

The principle of this poison is to dredge the martial artist's fighting qi and tendons, and if the martial artist releases a large amount of fighting qi at this time, then his tendons and veins will be broken because of this, leading to his own death.

To use a simple analogy, assuming that under normal circumstances, the overall width of a Dou Qi tendon is ten, and the thickness of the wall of the tendon is six, then the internal void of the tendon responsible for transporting the Dou Qi is four.

However, if this martial artist is killed by the Dou Qi Death, the overall width of his Dou Qi tendons and veins will not change, but the thickness of the pipe wall will become weaker due to the effect of the poison, and the width will be reduced by about four units. In this way, the thickness of the wall of the fighting qi is only two, and the gap between the muscles and veins that can be allowed to pass through the fighting qi at this time is eight. It is difficult for the weak pipe wall to restrain the surging Dou Qi, so once the martial artist uses the Dou Qi excessively after being hit by this poison, it will cause the collapse of the Dou Qi and the veins within the body. As a result, the strength of the minor ones was greatly reduced, and the severe ones died directly.

It was only at this time that Regner understood why Rego was ridiculously strong in all aspects at that time. It seems that not only because of the fury that his physical functions have been enhanced, but also because of the unimpeded operation of his fighting spirit, which is also a reason for the skyrocketing of his strength. It's just that after the rage, Rego couldn't notice the changes inside his body at all. Therefore, the unrestrained use of vindictive energy will naturally end up in death.

"Speaking of which, this poison is really good. Alex couldn't help but sigh: "In order to prove that you didn't poison the weapon, I slashed myself directly a few times, and the result was naturally unharmed." And this group of barbarians dispelled our suspicions of smearing poison on our weapons. ”

"Then you get some other poison in Rego's food, and the barbarians are suspicious of each other. Regner said, sighing, "That would make it much easier to frame those dead barbarians." After all, we have never touched the food of the barbarian king, and it is easier for only insiders to get their hands on it. ”

"That's it. Alex nodded.

After understanding all this, Regner couldn't help but feel a little afraid. If such a despicable and insidious plan was aimed at him, he felt that he would end up in the same fate as Rego. But fortunately, Alex is not his enemy, but with such a calculating person by his side, Regner will always have a sense of crisis.

"So, what are you going to do next?" asked Regner.

"I'm going to stay here and help Sam stabilize the situation within the barbarians. Alex replied, "We humans have been welcomed by some of the barbarians for helping the barbarians get rid of the traitors who murdered the barbarian king. Of course, not all barbarians listen to this set of rhetoric. So I'm going to stay here and calm the mood within the barbarians. ”

"That Sam, is he reliable?" asked Regner.

"I pinched his death hole, and he would listen to me as long as he wanted to live. Alex said confidently: "Moreover, I will make him a barbarian king, let him lead his people south, and make him the first outstanding barbarian king to truly improve the lives of barbarians in thousands of years." As long as he is obedient, he can gain many things. So, why won't he listen to me?"

"Then I'll leave that to you. Regner said with some weakness.

"You're going back?" Alex asked, a little guilty.

Regner said coldly, "Since you have planned everything, it is of no use for me to stay here. It's better to go back sooner. ”

"......" Alex was silent for a moment, then nodded reluctantly: "That's good, it's better to go back early." You might not know what else is waiting for you over there. When are you going to leave?"

"Today I'll have another day off, and tomorrow I'll leave. Regner waved his hand: "If you need any people in the mission, stay and I can go back alone." ”

"I understand, I'll arrange this matter, you can rest here. Alex nodded, then turned to leave.

After Alex went out, Regner looked at the door that was trembling slightly in the wind and snow, and then sighed.

"Are you tired?" asked Garona.

"Sort of. Regner scratched his hair in annoyance: "Only now, I realized that I had been thinking too simply. I didn't expect Alex to make such a complicated and elaborate plan behind my back, and he even used me as a pawn, I ......"

"I've said it before, your personality is not at all suitable for such a world. Garona also sighed: "I hope this incident can teach you a lesson!"

"I will......" Ragner nodded, and after this incident, Ragner suddenly felt tired of such a deceitful life. He felt that if the timing was right, maybe it would be time to quit the game, which was too complicated and dangerous, and he felt that he could not play it, and he could not afford to play it......
