Chapter Eighty-Five: Crippled
"Where is she?" asked Regner with a grim face.
"You have to promise me first, help me stop Niederhogg. Alexander was very calm, but in fact, he was also quite nervous, after all, Regner's single thought could affect the survival of the entire continent, and he must now do everything he can to make Regner's thoughts develop in the way he expected.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you, and then with Nidhogg you'll drag your empire and all your subjects to hell. Regner took a step forward and glared at Alexander, and said viciously, "Not a single one!"
"......" Alexander's mind raced through as he constantly recalled the man's behavior when he was with Regner in the past, and deduced Regner's personality from this. In just a few seconds, Alexander made up his mind, and he smiled indifferently: "Since that's the case, then please." ”
"You!" Regner was in a hurry.
Seeing Regner's performance, Alexander secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he said leisurely: "I handed over Irene to you, and you won't help me, even if there is only Nidhogg alone, I can't resist now." And I don't give Erin to you, you're just becoming Nidhogg's helper. Look, no matter how I choose the empire, I will always have to face the revenge of a super-powerhouse, and what good will it do me?"
"Don't you really care about the survival of your precious empire?" asked Ragner, gritting his teeth.
"Then don't you care if your precious half-elf lives or dies?" Alexander asked rhetorically without hesitation, patting Regner on the shoulder and saying, "Admit it, Regner, you have never been one to afford to put down, so you value Erin more than I do to the entire Empire." As long as I'm alive, the empire can continue to be built again, but Erin is dead, and I think your pillar of life will collapse again. ”
"Alexander!!" Regner wanted to eat Alexander alive, but he knew he couldn't, because he had grabbed one of Regna's weaknesses this time.
"Make a choice. Alexander said lightly, but in fact, he was also very anxious in his heart, the light of the six-pointed star circle above his head began to become brighter and brighter, it seems that if he doesn't stop it in time, he is afraid that Nidhogg will really return to the world again, and when the time comes, can Regner really block a Nidhogg who has no restraints and has six attribute abilities?
Regner gritted his teeth and looked at Alexander for a few seconds, but suddenly, his expression flattened because he had already made his decision.
"I can help you. After making his decision, Regner suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he said, "But you have to see Erin in person, right now." ”
"How is this possible?" Alexander was about to rejoice when he heard the first half of Regner's words, but the second half of the sentence made the king fall into a frenzy: "The whole of Melindell has begun to evacuate, how can I let Irene stay with me?
"Put away your clumsy lies!" Regner said coldly, "If today's event is something you've been prepared to deal with me a long time ago, then Erin must be around here." Don't tell me you have the strongest trump card in your hand against me and you don't plan to use it. Or...... You don't have this trump card at all?"
"......" Alexander's face became ugly, he thought for a moment, looked at the six-pointed star circle in the sky, and finally decided on a showdown: "Okay, I admit, Erin is indeed not in my hands. However, I know her whereabouts, and I swear by my honor!"
"Your reputation is worthless in my eyes!" Regner spat disdainfully, he also looked at the sky and said, "Heh, it seems that Nidhogg's spell is almost complete, so you better tell the truth quickly, and stop making any more vain vows!"
"She's really in Melindel, I've been there a long time ago!, but I'm just secretly watching her and not arresting her!" Alexander explained anxiously.
"Oh, why is that?" Regner asked with interest.
"Why? Why did I arrest her? Did she commit any crime?" Alexander asked rhetorically, "It seems to me that no matter how damned you are, no matter how close Miss Irene is to you, she is still an innocent person. So why should I implicate an innocent person? Don't think of me as a sinister and cunning villain, in my opinion, you're the only one who can damn you, and as for Innies, she's just chosen the wrong path for the last decade, but before that, the only time I put them under house arrest was for their own good, and I didn't want them to make the wrong choice. When have you ever seen me persecute innocent people?"
"And my sin is because I might have revived the tide of death again?" asked Regner with a blank face.
"Yes. Alexander nodded and replied calmly: "If I had replaced you with Alfred, I would have killed him as well." ”
"It doesn't matter. Regner shrugged nonchalantly: "Now you tell me that it doesn't make sense, the only thing I need now is Irene, only if she's there, I will consider helping you." ”
"But Erin has always been ......"
Alexander just wanted to explain something, but the high-pitched laughter of the woman who suddenly appeared interrupted all this: "Oh, hehehehe~ Regner, I always think you are more manly than in the past after ten years!"
"This voice is ......" Regner turned his head with black lines, and sure enough, he saw Angelista, the dark elf in the distance of the square, looking at him with a charming smile, but Regner didn't have the time to pay attention to Angelista, because next to Angelista, he saw Erin.
"Erin!!" Regner's form flashed to the half-elf's side.
Unlike Innilies, Erin doesn't seem to have changed much in the past ten years, she is wearing a white cloth robe, sitting in a wheelchair, except for her face is a little haggard, her eyes are slightly blank, and she doesn't even have much change in appearance. Ragner just took a cursory look, and the hanging heart in his heart was relaxed. Fortunately, it seems that Erin has not suffered as much as little Eini in the past ten years.
But is that really the case?
"Erin, Erin!" Regner shouted twice in surprise as he stood beside Erin.
"Sister Irene!" Enerys was also very happy to see Erin, she even used her remaining magic power to cast a short teleportation in front of Erin, and then threw herself directly into Erin's arms, although ten years have passed, Inenerys's height of one meter six is still very small, and this flutter is almost the same as ten years ago.
"Ahh Erin's face was still flat under the excited gaze of the two men, and the words she said next made both Regner and Ineris fall into an ice cave: "I...... My eyes can't see, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why do you make me feel so much like my sister?"
"Angelista......" Regner didn't know how many times his mood changed today, he looked at Angelista who was standing aside inexplicably triumphant and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"She?" Angelista said with a nonchalant grin, "she has lost all her senses of sight, hearing, and smell, and her lower body is completely paralyzed, and Irene is now a combination of deaf, blind, and lame!"
