Chapter 45 Grace and Righteousness
Regner's Light-Swallowing Sword didn't bring Bloodflower with him, as he didn't hit Kordak. At the last moment, Regner glanced down at Kordak at his feet. And there was one thing that finally changed Regner's mind.
That's the scar, the one carved into Kordak's right rib, three of which are not much thinner than a baby's wrist, and the fourth shallow scar is the thickness of a thumb. It was a hideous scar that would scare the timid girl to tears, and it was a long time ago that Kordak had left behind, three or four years ago. He was ...... at the time In order to save Regner, he was almost slapped to death by the Red Blood Bear.
It was this scar that evoked Regner's first memories of Kordak. The man who has been smiling heartily and patting himself vigorously on the shoulder, the man who is obviously not a few years older than him but always helps him manage himself like a father. That man was Kordak.
Even if he wanted to kill himself now, if it weren't for him, he would have died long ago I don't know how many times. He is his own boss and his own savior, so Regner can't do it in the end.
Kordak didn't give him a reason, so Regner didn't need a reason. He still chose to let Kordak go.
Regner put away his Light-Swallowing Sword, then took a step back. He was silent for a moment, then said, "You go!"
Kordaq had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but death did not come for a long time, and only after Regner spoke did he open his eyes in confusion.
"Let's go!" Regner repeated, for some reason, hesitant not to make the decision at first. But when the decision was actually made, Regner was relieved, as if a heavy mountain had been lifted.
"What, you kid still have that ridiculous sympathy?" Kordaq struggled to his feet as he propped himself up with his lava blade. He glared at Regner and asked, "Do you believe it or not, if you let me go, I'll find a way to kill you when I turn around?"
"......" Regner was silent for a moment, then he said to Kordak, "You are not my opponent. ”
"Not necessarily!" said Kordak, a sly smile, as if he had something planned.
"I don't want to argue with you about this!" Regner frowned, then raised his voice. He then said, "Boss......"
"Even now, you still call me Boss?" said Kordak, as if mocking.
"There are some habits that are hard to break. Unmoved, Regner continued, "You have saved my life several times, and if you really want to soar, I can give you what you want." Will you come back?"
"No!" Kordak shook his head resolutely: "You have been following Lao Tzu for a few years, you should know Lao Tzu's character, Lao Tzu has killed people, set fires, and when he encounters something he wants, Lao Tzu will fight for it himself, and even rob it!
Regner bowed his head in disappointment, Kordak's personality was indeed what he himself said. Although it was surprisingly similar to the concept of the barbarians, this was Kordak, the boss he knew. Regner held back for a long time, and could only whisper: "This is not a charity......
"But it seems to me that this is!" Kordak was unmoved.
"So, you're determined to kill me?" Regner asked.
"If I had the chance, I wouldn't hesitate to try to plunge this sword into your heart. Kordaq raised the lava blade in his hand and said very arrogantly.
Hearing this, Regner raised his head, then slowly closed his eyes, and then took a deep breath. I don't know how long later, a streak of blood spilled from the corner of Regner's mouth. It was originally just a red thread, but then it slowly expanded, and finally Regnar couldn't help it, and he bent down and spat out a large puddle of blood with a "wow". It was caused by a great grief hitting the heart, just as Enilis admitted she had been poisoned.
"Regner!" Anne Lott couldn't help but scream.
"I'm fine......" Regner waved his hand, he stood up straight as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Then Regner stared at Cordak and said, "Since you have said this, Boss, then I, Regner, have nothing to say." ”
"It's as it should be, it's you who are too pretentious!" Cordak pouted disdainfully.
"You've helped me, you've saved me, and without you, I'd not be alive today. Regnar looked at this Cordak and said, "Although I saved your life in the Eye of the Mystic before, it was not enough to repay your kindness to me. So, this time, I'll let you go again. ”
"I won't thank you. "Kordak wasn't happy that he had picked up a life.
"But from this moment on. Regner said as he tugged at the corner of his shirt with his left hand. A sharp shadow dagger condensed in his right hand, and Regner gritted his teeth and sliced the corners of his coat as if he were cutting his own flesh. He threw the large piece of rag at Kordak, and then cried out, "From now on......!
Regner paused as he said this, and then he used all his strength to whisper the last four words word by word: "Grace, Break, Righteousness, Absolute ......"
Kordaq didn't have a hint of expression on his face when he heard Regner say this. He picked up the corner of Regna's rags, and then nodded: "That's fine, you and I will break off, and I won't have any scruples in the future." ”
"You'd better not appear in front of me again, or I'll kill you next time. Regner didn't stop and walked over to Annelot.
Anne Lot couldn't help but feel extremely complicated when she saw that two men who were originally like brothers had a quarrel like this. But she didn't know what to say in this situation. Because she doesn't have a complete memory of Regner now, it can be said that she doesn't know Ragner, and she can't make any decisions on her own. Moreover, the main problem is with Kordak, and for Kordak, she has no choice.
Regner walked up to Anne Lot's side and whispered, "I'm sorry......"
"Why apologize?" asked Anne Lott softly.
"I let him go without permission, and it could be a threat to your life. Regner replied.
"He can't hurt me, and you're doing the right thing. ”
"And ......" Regner paused, then said, "I swore that whoever I suspected, I could not doubt you. But now ......"
"......," Annelot sighed, Regna understood what he meant, and he wanted to say that he was now suspicious of her again. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that even a reliable man like Kordak has betrayed him, so what about Anne Lot? Now, can he trust Anne Lot?
From an emotional point of view, Regner naturally wanted to choose to continue to trust the Frost Maiden without reservation. But reason is making a weak resistance at this time, although it is weak, but it cannot be ignored by Regner. This made him hesitate, he was a coward, a coward who was afraid of getting hurt. So, now he doesn't have the courage to bet everything on his sensibilities for the time being. This is the point he is most sorry for for Annelot.
"I can understand you. Anne Lott replied softly, but she could only give so much, could she comfort Regner now? Moreover, she felt that her relationship with Regner was not close enough to comfort him.
Annelot turned to leave, and Regner looked at the back of the Frost Maiden, and then silently followed.
Seeing so many people around him, Kordaq knew that he really didn't have a chance this time. So he turned his back to Regner and prepared to leave.
"Boss. Ragner spoke again halfway through.
"What?
"......" Regner hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Take care of Sister Vera and Ranmir." ”
"You don't have to worry about it!" Kordak walked farther and farther away, carrying his greatsword.
"Is there anything that needs to be done, my lord?" Snow asked vaguely, as he couldn't tell what Regner meant right now. If you ask a question like "Do you want someone to sneak over and kill Kordak?", it wouldn't be good if you annoyed Regner.
Regner was not angry, because Regner understood that from Snow's standpoint, everything he did was the most reasonable and correct. So, Regner shook his head: "No need, let him go." But remember, everything about this matter must be pressed back as much as possible, and it can be delayed for a day. If I find out that someone is deliberately leaking, you will all die! and I may have to rest for a few days...... I'll leave it to you in the next few days. ”
"Snow understands, I'll take care of all this. Snow nodded, and then went back to explain to the MI agents.
Regner, on the other hand, walked silently behind Annelot. The snow was still falling, and Regner remembered that he had come with the joy and excitement of being reunited, but now, his heart was cold, as cold and empty as this snow-covered plain......
......
The next day, Regner really didn't go to MIA. Snow was not surprised by this, he knew that Regner was very emotional, and now that Regner had suffered such a blow, he was afraid that it would take a long time to recover.
Therefore, Snow told everyone that Regna was personally supervising a classified mission at this time, and that he was currently handling affairs in the Military Intelligence Service as acting director. Of course, he also sent someone to ask Regner for advice. But according to the errand agent, Regner didn't come out to see him, but just pressed a fingerprint to deal with the matter.
In this way, Snow began to continue to maintain the operation of the Military Intelligence Service as the acting director.
