Chapter Seventy-Five: Growth
Barol couldn't move, so he glanced at the visitor, and then asked, "My mission is complete?"
Alex examined the wound on Barrol's body, then nodded, "Yes, it's done." ”
"So, will you detoxify me now and let me go?" or will you kill me directly?" Barol looked at Alex and asked, he had already planned before the duel, if he was defeated this time, then he would have no motivation to live, and it would be good to be killed by Regner.
But after being lectured by Regner, Barol still had some courage in life, because he knew that even if he was desperate, there was a relative, a sister waiting for him, which he didn't want to admit but had to admit.
Alex looked at Barol with mixed feelings, he was the one who saved him from the necromancer's hands. At that time, Barol was just a teenager in his early tens, who had just been abandoned by his sister, and his eyes were full of fear and hatred.
Alex came to Wellles' side with the confused Barol, and he didn't know what Wellles said to him afterwards, but he remembered very well that when Barol came out again, he had already become a ruthless assassin.
Alex has almost watched Barol grow up in recent years, he has changed from boy to teenager, from teenager to youth, from youth to man. Back then, he was just a ruthless but weak child, but now, he has enough strength to match himself. Such a rapid rate of progress is, of course, inseparable from Balor's own identity as a shadow dancer.
But Alex also knows how hard Balor has worked to get stronger and revenge for the pain he once had. But even so, he still lost, at the hands of Regna, who had been under the disciple of Virles for only two years.
Now Barrol, all thoughts must be lost, right?
"Frustrated now?" Alex didn't answer Barrol's question, but asked rhetorically.
"It's impossible to say not to be depressed. "I paid so much to get my strength to this point, but I didn't expect that even then I wouldn't be his opponent. The teacher was right, Regner was indeed better than me. ”
"It's the first time I've seen a dark affinity like his. Alex explained, "You don't have to be too depressed about this, I'm not as good as you at your age. ”
"That's right. Barol readily agreed with Alex.
"Then it's up to you to make your choice. Alex said: "Although after drinking the pill, your potential is completely overdrawn, and you can't go any further. But an eighteenth-level assassin is also a very scarce resource for the guild, with your qualifications, if you work hard, it is still very possible to mix with the head of the assassination department to be a minister, and maybe the elder will let you take my place. ”
"Then Regner takes the teacher's place, and I serve him as you serve the teacher?" Barol continued.
"What's wrong?" Alex froze, he didn't understand what was wrong. Although Vellais is an alien race, his style and ruthlessness are more like humans than an elf. Moreover, he may also be the only Sanctuary Assassin in the Eastern Continent at the moment. He did not feel any humiliation in serving such a strong man.
But Barol doesn't think so, he is Vera's younger brother, and he can be regarded as Regner's older brother. The two of them also worship under the Virles sect, and Barol is Regna's brother, plus Barol and Regnar are both shadow dancers. The combination of these conditions made Barol very unwilling to let his status be inferior to Regner.
"Of course not. "Even if I admit he's better than me, I don't want him to be shouting at me all day," Barol said. So, I don't want to have anything to do with the guild anymore. ”
Alex's eyes flashed, and he looked at Barol coldly and asked, "What you said is true?"
"You see I can't move anymore, do you still have the heart to joke with others?" replied Baror.
"I think you should know that the guild won't let people like you leave the guild casually. Alex reminded.
"Yes. Balor said, "So, you can kill me." But I don't want to go back to the guild, my affair with you, and with Regner, is completely over. ”
"I see. Alex looked at Barrol's somewhat stubborn expression, and then sighed: "Then I'm sorry, I can only do this." ”
"You just did what the teacher wanted, don't be sorry for it, and I don't blame you. Balor tried to smile.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Alex has treated him a lot in the past few years, not only his own life was saved by him back then. And in the past few years, he has been out and about, and Alex has helped him a lot openly and secretly. Thinking of this, Barol was suddenly stunned. Because he found that he was not alone in the past few years, at least, this short and sleek middle-aged man would occasionally help him by his side. In this way, Regner is not bad.
However, all this was meaningless, because Alex had already drawn his sword. And his gaze at himself was as cold as iron, and Barol knew very well that Alex would use such a gaze when he looked at the dead. Then, the sword shone faintly in the moonlight. Balor closed his eyes gently.
......
"I wonder how Ray is now?" Vera looked very uneasy, although Regner repeatedly asked them to go to the Nightsong Forest a day later, but in the end, the few of them were still relieved, and on the afternoon of Regner's departure, they also said goodbye to Olgarok and headed for the Nightsong Forest.
It's just that because of Iniris, they are in a much slower hurry than Regner. But even so, this was the third day they had come to the Nightsong Forest. If you count the time, Regner should almost finish fighting Balor. Now that he's showing up for a second every night, they're a little more worried about him.
"Ah, maybe there's something delayed. "Kordak isn't very sure either.
"I hope so. Vera muttered, then something suddenly came to mind: "Hey, Kordak." ”
"Huh?"
"Remember the last time Xiao Lei saved us?"
Kordaq rolled his eyes: "It's only been a few days, how could I forget." ”
"Little Ray was in a coma at that time, do you think he will be ...... this time," Vera said.
Kordaq thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, not only last time...... last time"
Kordaq secretly glanced at Iniris who was taking a nap, and then whispered, "Regna was also unconscious when Innie had an accident last time. It seems that his attribute ability will greatly overdraw his strength. ”
So, it's likely that he was also unconscious this time. Vera said, "Shall we go to him?"
Kordaq thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go by myself, you stay and take care of Ini." ”
"But ......"
"Nothing. Kordaq waved his hand, "Do you want this little girl to stay here alone, what if she gets taken away by a wolf?"
"Then let me go and find it, you stay and take care of Innie. Vera said.
"How can I let a woman go out on errands and stay here by herself?" Cordak cried and laughed.
"But that's the most reasonable way to distribute it. Vera said, "What if you meet Balor? I'm afraid you'll start a fight without saying a word when you meet him, are you his opponent?"
"And what about you?" asked Kordak, "Won't Barol kill you with a knife when he sees you?"
"Of course he wouldn't!" Vera affirmed, "If he really hated me that much, he wouldn't have killed me so easily." Just by looking at the fact that he hasn't killed me in the past few years, you can see it!"
"It's ......," Kordak had nothing to say.
"Alright, Kordak. Vera touched his bearded face: "I'll be fine, and Thunder will be fine." Barol ...... Ray must have defeated Balor, we have to believe him!"
"When did you become so clear-minded?" said Kordak a little helplessly, Vera is a woman with a straightforward personality, but sometimes she is very inconsiderate in doing things. According to Kordak's own words, he was a little big-chested, but he didn't expect that this woman, who had always been a little stupid, would argue herself speechless this time.
"I've been through a lot, and I always have to have a brain. Vera smiled and said, "I don't want to be an idiot woman who can only live on you all her life, that's not me Vera!"
Kordak laughed too, and although Vera was speechless, Kordak was glad that Vera had become smarter. As for the future, Cordak is not full of confidence, and he has no confidence in the blood of this werewolf in his body, and he has no confidence that he can stay by her side forever. And Vera's change can undoubtedly ensure that she can live well even if she leaves herself in the future. It's important to him.
So, Kordaq himself went and hung Vera's longbow on her.
"In that case, I'll listen to you this time. Kordak smiled and said, "You're right, my girl, you don't want to be a fool who can only survive on other people!"
"When I find Ray, let's go to the Western Continent together?" Vera asked.
Kordak said earnestly while dressing Vera: "Yes, find him, let's go to the Western Continent together, go to new places, and help Little Ray find Annie." ”
"yes, and find Anne. Vera muttered, although Annelot had not spoken much, but without her mercenary team, Vera always felt that something was missing.
"That's it, be careful on the road!" Cordak dressed up Vera's gear and gave her a hug, "Come back early!"
"I will, with Ray!" Vera laughed and turned to leave.
