Chapter 70: Alfred's Scheme

"If you are trying to confuse me with such a non-existent person, then I advise you to give up this idea!" Alfred seemed impatient with Kordak's musings.

Although there are many doubts about Balor's affairs, Kordaq still has more important things to discuss at the moment. So he gathered his thoughts for a moment, and then said, "So, it's time for you to talk about your purpose." ”

"My purpose is simple, to kill you. Alfred said without hesitation.

"If that's the case, then you wouldn't be talking so much nonsense to me here. Kordak was unmoved.

"Very clever, that sentence was just a way for me to adjust the atmosphere. Alfred gave a rare smile.

"Okay, come on, how the hell did you get Vera to go, and possibly even me?" Cordak was clearly unimpressed by Alfred's humor, and he grabbed the bars of the prison with an equally impatient expression.

"Letting you go?" Alfred looked at Cordak with a smirk, his face wrinkled with a few noticeable wrinkles. The Imperial Commander asked, "Do you think I will let go of the enemies with whom I have a grudge against the clan?"

"The only one who was exterminated was my young master, his name was Kohler Smith, who later became Selenos. If your informants weren't stupid pigs, they would have reported to you, right? Selenos died years ago, and no one in the Smith family can take revenge on you. Kordak said with a blank face.

"But isn't the iron-blooded giant bear Kordaq the most affectionate?" Alfred smiled, "Isn't it normal to avenge the revenge of your good brother who has been with you for more than twenty years?"

"I almost killed Regner the other day. Kordak reminded casually.

"You can fool people about this, but don't try to fool me. Alfred didn't eat Kordak at all, he shook his head, and then didn't explain why.

"Well, well, it's really hard to bargain with an old fox like you. Tell me how you can let Vera go, then?" Cordak rolled his eyes, and said, "Stop these meaningless temptations, show your terms, and I think we'll all be very happy if we can negotiate a suitable price." ”

"It's simple, I want Lord Dark Elegy to be on my side. Alfred began.

"Are you an idiot?" Cordak suddenly flashed a little disdain: "Little Ray and Joffrey have always been at odds, let Little Ray help him?"

"I never mentioned His Royal Highness the Great Prince. With an elusive smile on his face, Alfred smiled and repeated, "What I'm saying is, stand here with me~." Alfred deliberately accentuated the word "I."

Kordaq suddenly felt a chill in his back. Alfred didn't mean to let Regner help Joffrey, but to help him? What does this mean by this? What does this old guy want to do with Regna? What the hell is he going to do......?

"What the hell do you want to do?!" Kordak let out a shivering snort.

"Don't be so nervous, young man. ”

By this time, the gap between Alfred and Kordaq was finally showing. Even when it comes to things that may have something to do with the usurpation of power, Alfred is still able to keep his face unchanged and calm, while Kordaq is already starting to get nervous. What kind of psychological quality is this old fox?

Alfred shrugged nonchalantly, "Everybody has their own plans, doesn't they? ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll say that?" Cordak asked rhetorically in a threatening tone.

"If you can, please. Alfred didn't care, he made a "whatever you want" gesture, and said, "First of all, you can't get out of here, and second, even if you can get out, who will believe you? You're just a death row prisoner who betrayed everyone and bit like a mad dog." ”

"......" Cordak was silent, and Alfred was right. Except for Regner and the others, it is impossible for anyone to believe him now. And this matter has something to do with Regner himself, and it is impossible for him to say it. And even if they did, what could they do? Without any direct evidence, such groundless rumors are not convincing at all. Alfred was the chancellor of the empire under one man, and it was not uncommon to have such rumors once in a while.

"What will happen if I turn you down?" Cordak asked in a low voice, "Vera and I are both dead?"

"So, you're not going to accept my offer anyway?" Alfred asked lightly.

"I am unlikely to accept your proposal if you consider it in the light of your current position and intentions. Kordak shook his head firmly: "I must admit, you are dangerous, very dangerous. But Ray is not a man with too many scheming, and without the help of Anne and Alex, this silly boy would not even be able to master the MIA. So, there's absolutely no way I'm going to let that stupid boy go with you, and I'll just kick him into the fire pit. ”

"Actually. Alfred looked a little disappointed, and he reluctantly said, "You're kicking the Dark Elegy into the fire pit." Almost everyone in the Hawke Empire knew that it was far more comfortable to be my friend to Alfred than to be my enemy. ”

"Then prove it to me. Kordak's eyes twinkled, and he thought that Alfred might be hiding something, and if he could get more information, he might have to make other judgments. Because this decision is not only for Regner, but also for himself and Vera. If you can keep both of them alive, then why not Kordak?

Alfred seemed to think about it for a moment, but in the end he shook his head: "No, there's only so much I can give, and you have to make your own decisions based on these things." ”

"......" Cordak hesitated for a moment, and finally he thought of the scene of the death of the Selenos family. He knew that Alfred was definitely a very dangerous person, both as an enemy and as a friend. For Regner, there is no doubt that an enemy on the surface is much easier to deal with than someone who stabs a knife in secret. Ironic, isn't it? As an Assassin, Regner was supposed to be their specialty in secretly stabbing knives.

Therefore, Kordak shook his head firmly in the end, he must not push Regner into the fire pit because of his own life or Vera's life. He Kordak would never have been able to do such a thing!

"No way! I can't persuade him to join you, it's a tiger to get his skin into!" said Kordak categorically, ready to accept Vera's cold corpse! Cordak would rather give up his woman's life than drag Regner down, and he believes Vera will understand what he's doing. Because she's his Cordak woman!

"I've told His Royal Highness the Prince a long time ago that this is impossible......" Alfred's eyes flashed with disappointment. He sighed helplessly, and then prepared to leave without saying a word.

"Hey!" said Kordak, who was still unsure of Alfred's request after refusing it. He grabbed the iron railing and shouted, "What are you going to do with Vera?"

Alfred turned his head, the expression on his face was playful and disdainful, like a man looking at the big picture looking at an idiot trapped in a labyrinth of bewilderment. This expression annoyed Kordak a little.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must think that the reason why I'm going to do it to you is because I know who you are and what you do with the Smith Chamber of Commerce, right?" Alfred asked in a mocking tone.

"Isn't it?" Kordak was stunned, from his point of view, his identity was indeed dangerous and sensitive.

"Stupid!" Alfred scolded without hesitation, "Your appearance has deceived me, and it seems that I still think highly of you after all - you are just a yellow-haired boy who can only pay attention to what is in front of you!"

"Are you scolding me for being old?" Cordak was furious, and for some reason, he had also been infected by Regner in the past few years.

"......" Alfred was speechless, and he said lightly: "Your luck is good, at least this time is not bad, but for the sake of some people, I give you a piece of advice." Get out of here as soon as possible and head back to the wild and simple continent of Reims. This place is not for you!"

"Damn, you dare to despise Lao Tzu's IQ!" Cordak scolded: "You come here, you have the ability to do a few arithmetic problems with Lao Tzu!"

"......" Alfred ignored the demented Kordak as he grabbed a torch and disappeared into the darkness of the dungeon.

Cordak was alone and cursed for a few more moments, only stopping when he was sure Alfred was gone. This guy sat on the straw bunk and thought about it, and then suddenly grinned bitterly, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!

One thing he was sure of was though, since Alfred had told him to go back to Reims. In this way, neither he nor Vera will die. After working so hard, what is this Alfred for?

This feeling of confusion made Cordak uncomfortable, but even more uncomfortable for him was Rondo's death. If Alfred hadn't intended to put him to death in the first place, then one thing had been proven: Rondo's death would be meaningless......

That idiot......
