Kordak woke up groggily, the hard and cold temperature of the stone bed behind him made him shiver slightly, and on the stone bed was a thin straw bed, which would stick to his body from sweat in the summer, and only provide a pitiful warmth in the winter, and there was no way to isolate the cold touch.

Regardless, the feeling of sleeping on a straw-paved hardboard bed awakened Kordak's past memories. This made him feel a little dazed.

After taking a few seconds to retrieve his memories, Kordak was surprised to find that he was not injured, not even the injuries from the previous battle with Joffrey. It was a very strange thing, because Joffrey was a man who he was aware of. A guy like this is definitely worth it, and he ripped off one of Joffrey's legs, how could he still let himself live well?

Thinking of this, Kordaq recalled the swarthy middle-aged man he had seen before he fell unconscious. That appearance, coupled with the ability to take on the blow of himself as a high-level warrior casually......

It didn't take long for Kordak to understand what was going on. It seems that the Wandering Lance saved Joffrey's life, as well as his own life temporarily. But if it were possible, Kordak would want to kill the prince who killed his brother, even if he had to fight for his life.

He sat up with difficulty, then tried to make sense of the current situation. Ever since Kevin took him away, Kordak has been in a coma. Of course, there is a reason why Kordak is too badly injured, but on the other hand, it is also Kevin who secretly did some tricks. After all, it is much easier to carry a person who can't move or run than a person who is jumping around and trying to escape.

"Awake?" a steady, deep voice sounded.

Kordaq turned his head to follow the voice, only to realize that a stool was set up outside his cell, and a man was sitting on it. Because the dungeon was dark and lightless, the faint torches could only dimly illuminate the man's outline, but his face could not be seen clearly.

But Kordak knew who he was, because since the first meeting with him, Kordak had engraved this man's voice in his heart. This man can be said to have changed his life, he ruined Kordak's original life, and also forced Kordak to continue to struggle, and finally got to where he is today. In this sense, he also made Kordak.

He is the prime minister of the Hawke Empire, the old fox that all courtiers find difficult to figure out - Alfred Rollin.

Kordaq quickly calmed down when he realized who the person in front of him was. He didn't get angry, he didn't go crazy, he just calmly looked at the prime minister who loomed in the light of the torches. Then he spoke, "If you can appear in front of me, then this is Melindel's dungeon?"

"You're smart and capable. Alfred sighed: "So I really don't understand......"

"Don't understand?"

"Yes, I don't understand why they didn't see your talent in the first place, and just treated you like an ordinary little groom. Alfred sighed, "If I had paid attention at the time, at least I wouldn't have to go to such trouble to find a way to deal with you now, and I hate trouble." ”

"So, do you know who I am?" Kordak's face still didn't change much, if Alfred really knew who he was, then he had every incentive to deal with him, and in this way, Vera was more than ninety percent sure in his hands.

"Smith Chamber of Commerce. Alfred uttered the name of a chamber of commerce that had long been forgotten.

That Chamber of Commerce was a sizable arms supplier to the Hawke Empire more than a decade ago, but it had a conflict of interest with Alfred, who was once the Minister of War, because of certain problems. Alfred used some stratagem to bring down the chamber, and most of the chamber members were either imprisoned and died in an accident in prison shortly after, or exiled to a coastal area where the environment was even worse than the northern icy plateau, and finally died of natural disasters.

It can be said that the members of that huge chamber of commerce have basically been cleaned up by Alfred. But he missed someone, a teenager who had a close relationship with the Chamber of Commerce. His name was Khloe Smith, and he was the son of the president of the Smith Chamber of Commerce. That Khloe Smith was actually the later Selenos. In order to avoid Alfred's possible investigation, he had no choice but to go incognito and change his name to Selenos, which has the meaning of silence and caution in the lingua franca. Through this name, he hopes to remind himself of the dangers of the world and the hatreds of the past.

Selenos has always been reticent because he still carries the hatred of his family in his heart. It's just that the reality is so cruel that Selenos was inexplicably killed by a group of orcs who suddenly broke in before he even grew up enough to avenge his family.

As for Kordak...... He was actually a member of the Smith Chamber of Commerce, but because he was just a dirty boy who was in charge of cleaning the stables at the time, Alfred didn't persecute him too much.

On the day of the incident, he happened to sneak out to play with Selenos. Thus they escaped the officers and soldiers of the Empire. But then the whole Melindell manhunt made the two teenagers very nervous. So they left there and smuggled to the continent of Reims.

After that, the two little ones began to become mercenaries with the fur kung fu they learned in the Chamber of Commerce. Because they met a good team leader at the beginning, the two little guys were able to survive all the way without danger. Later, they grew up, met Vera, and met Regner, but Selenos unfortunately did not survive the last few years.

This is the truth of the relationship between Kordak and Selenos. In the beginning, Selenos was the high-ranking young master of the Great Chamber of Commerce, while Kordaq was a dirty and lowly little horseman.

At that time, Selenos had a good relationship with Kordak, and the young Selenos was optimistic and cheerful, and he did not have the slightest arrogance of a young master. What he liked most was to run out with that tall Kordak, because every time Kordak was found, he would not hesitate to take all the blame for Selenos.

Later, the changes in the family caused Selenos to lose his identity as a young master, and the two began to call each other brothers. And because Kordak is smarter and more flexible, after they formed a mercenary squad, Kordak became the captain instead. Selenos was not unhappy with this, he knew that he did not have that talent, and he knew at the time that he had been alive until now that most of the credit was due to Kordak.

But in the end, Selenos died......

Kordaq shook his head and waved away the past, none of which mattered now. He considered his situation for a moment, and finally felt that since he had reached the point of having nothing, it would be better to have a showdown. He said to Alfred, "In that case, why don't we talk openly and honestly?"

"That's what I'm here for, and I want to talk to you about it. Alfred nodded, he stood up, and walked to the edge of the cell. Because the cells here are made of special materials, Alfred is not afraid that Kordaq will suddenly burst out and hurt people. Moreover, all the prisoners here have been sealed by the Court Mage Association with secret methods to seal their fighting energy or magic, and the current Kordak is strictly just an ordinary strong man.

"Then I'll ask first. Kordak walked from the bedside to the edge of the cell, finally seeing Alfred's face. The strong man stared down at Alfred's grey eyes and asked, "Is Vera in your hands?"

"That's right. Alfred nodded, "I've been looking for an opportunity to get some say from you, and that woman acting alone was too timely." So I had her over. ”

"Where is she?!" Kordak gripped the iron bars of his cell.

"Do you think I'll tell you?" said Alfred with a blank face, "and if you really want to talk, then it's better to ask some practical questions." ”

"She's still alive?"

"There's no use for her when she's dead, so there's no doubt that she's alive and well, and we have dedicated people to take care of her, and whether she wants to go on a hunger strike or kill herself, you can rest assured. ”

"As if I want to thank you for that!" Cordak gritted his teeth, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Barol, has he been to you?"

"Who is Balor?" Alfred tilted his head.

"Don't play garlic with me!

"Well, I'll admit that I've looked into some of your and the people around you, and I know that Barol is Vera's brother. Alfred looked elsewhere as if he was absent-minded and said, "But as far as I know, didn't he die in the duel with Lord Dark Elegy?"

"......" Cordak thought to himself, did Alfred lie?

If someone wants to judge whether the old fox is lying or not by the expression on his face, then there is a good chance that this person will fail.

Therefore, Kordak watched it for a long time, but he couldn't guess the truth. And Barol is indeed a shadow creature, and as he himself said, shadow creatures are very difficult to kill. Light can be painful for shadow creatures, but it's impossible to kill shadow creatures with sunlight alone.

Unless it is some powerful light spell, but according to Kordak's investigation, the strongest mage in Alfred's family is only the mid-level peak of Bribanger's level, and it is absolutely impossible to kill Balor.

Did you accidentally meet a powerful high-ranking priest?Or was there something else hidden in it?Where is Barol now?Kordak was momentarily confused.
