Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Reward of Velles
Although the seaport of Rolmi is located on the eastern continent, it should also be part of the territory of the Hawke Empire strictly speaking. At the very least, the laws of the Hawke Empire are valid in this town, and the Hawke Empire has also set up patrol stations and courts in the seaports of the eastern continent. This is the most obvious difference between this town and other towns on the eastern continent.
The Nine Cities Alliance was quite resistant to the emergence of such an alternative town on the eastern continent, and they even sent the Self-Defense Forces to create friction on the border of the Rolli seaport. However, Ralvin the Great of the Hawke Empire was very tough on the outside world, and he did not hesitate to send an imperial naval fleet to support the construction of the seaport of Rolmi.
Under the oppression of an empire's powerful force, the slightly loose organization of the Nine Cities Alliance naturally did not dare to press too hard. Over time, the Nine Cities Alliance also discovered that the Hawke Empire didn't seem to be very interested in expanding on the Eastern Continent. It seems that they can't hurt the bones of the Nine Cities Alliance by getting a few harbors and building a few outposts here, and they can't move the lifeblood of the Nine Cities Alliance.
As the saying goes, if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, and the Nine Cities Alliance can't even do the position of the head of the Eastern Continent forces, so naturally they won't be stupid enough to go outside to provoke an imperial force and make themselves scorched. After repeated negotiations, the Nine Cities Alliance finally threw its olive branch to the Hawke Empire.
And Ralvin the Great didn't seem to have much interest in going to war, and the two forces held several talks, and finally the Nine Cities Alliance also recognized that the Hawke Empire had some of its own forces in the Eastern Continent, and in exchange, the Hawke Empire had to pay part of the taxes to the Nine Cities Alliance every year. Fortunately, the amount is not very large, so Ralvin the Great doesn't care about such a little rent, after all, paying a little gold to maintain the face of the Nine Cities Alliance is a good thing for both forces.
Nowadays, the port of Rolmi has become an important transportation hub connecting the eastern and western continents, not only the population far exceeds that of a town, but its prosperity can also be comparable to that of some small and medium-sized cities in the eastern continent.
Regner lay lazily on the bed, pillow on soft velvet pillows, and because of its proximity to the sea, the night wind in the harbor of Rolmi was really cool.
"I can go back tomorrow, I don't know what happened to the people back then?" Regna thought silently in his heart, although the memories of his childhood were not very pleasant to him, but it was his childhood after all, and now he can go back to the original place to take a look again, and it is inevitable that he will be a little excited to think about it.
With a small smile on his lips, Regner thought back to what had happened. quarreled with the coolie's son over a trivial matter, in order to protect Erin from being bullied, he was beaten up by three teenagers two years older than him, in order to get revenge on the owner of the bakery, he threw stones at the store in the middle of the night, and in order to fill his stomach, he ran to the widow's house in the East Side in the middle of the night to steal food, but accidentally bumped into her cheating......
Regner had thought that all these little things of childhood had disappeared with the torrent of time, but when he lay here tonight, he found that it was as vivid as what happened yesterday.
Just as he was about to fall asleep with memories and longings, a voice came into his head.
"Alright, Xiao Lei, come out and meet me, I'm right in front of the east gate of the town, near the Nightsong Forest. "Welllais's voice came in, he this
The teacher was not only a Sanctuary assassin, but also a mid-level mage, and his elven bloodline gave him a certain magical talent.
Regner was shocked, he didn't expect Verles to come to him at this time. After a few previous incidents, it was difficult for him to grasp his relationship with the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild.
Although the guild has never done anything to be sorry for itself, it is precisely because of the guild's inaction that Regner feels a little chilled. Truth be told, he didn't want to see anyone from the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild right now, except, of course, Annelot.
But no matter what his current attitude was, Ragner still didn't have the courage to directly resist Virlais, so he got up from the bed with some helplessness.
It took Regner half an hour to finally get to the location that Wellles had said. Because it was late at night, and there was no one near the forest, looking at the black-lit place, Regner couldn't understand what Verles meant.
A wave of air loomed less than a meter in front of Regner.
"Be careful! Get out of the way!" Garona reminded, the air fluctuation so subtle that it was difficult to detect even with her discernment.
Ragner rolled in an instant, avoiding the air fluctuation. Although it was the first time he had faced such an attack, Regner knew very well that this was Wellles' long-established assassination technique, the Wave Blade.
This fighting skill is weird and incredible, if strictly speaking, it is just a sharp slash with a sharp fighting spirit. But if the effect of the Wave Blade is limited to that, then it won't be one of the great skills of Velles. One of the most frightening aspects of the Wave Blade is that its attacks are silent and invisible, and the enemy is completely unable to see him when he performs this skill.
No one knew where Verles was hiding, and no one knew how Verles's knife was cut. This is a fighting skill created by Vellais, and so far, he is the only one who has mastered it.
A corner of Regner's leather armor was shaved off, but fortunately he dodged in time, and the knife did not hurt his body. Regner looked around vigilantly, but there was no movement except for the rustle of leaves in the breeze and the silver white of the moonlight shining through the forest, and he could not sense the presence of another person here.
"Heh! Wellles didn't expect this little guy to create such an interesting move. Garona calmed down instantly after the sudden shock, and her tone of voice returned to hoarse and calm again.
"This is indeed the teacher's fighting skills, but where is he?" Regner asked a little nervously, although he didn't know what Willles meant, but this attack was real, could it be that the teacher was nervous today and wanted to kill me?
"He's right next to you. Garona replied lazily, "Don't worry, he won't hurt you, if he really wants to kill you, you won't be able to dodge the knife you just had." ”
"So what is he going to do?" Regner was a little speechless, to be honest, there were so many people in this world that he couldn't guess.
One is Anne Lot, he sometimes can't guess the girl's mind, but this may be caused by the gender gap, and the way men and women think is indeed very different.
The other is Mallorlet, this old guy doesn't have any rules to follow when he talks and does things, but this is because he is a psychopath, and the gap between normal people and abnormal people should be larger.
And the last one is Wellles, his teacher does not belong to the first two, he can't guess Wellles, just because sometimes Wellles's intentions are too hidden. Sometimes only when the outcome of the matter comes out can Regner know what Verles really meant, and at the same time deeply admire Verles's vision and vision. For example, the last time about the arcane eyes, if it was really as Garona said, then the city of Verles was really not something that an idiot boy like Regner could speculate about.
The only one who can compete with it may be his other teacher, Garona. Thinking of this, Regner couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hell, why do I have two teachers with so many hearts?
"What for?" Garona thought for a moment, then said, "I think eighty percent is here to give you a reward tonight." Okay, you hold on a little longer, and Wellles will stop trying your approximate limits. ”
Regner could only grit his teeth and insist, and Virles's wave blade also started with one blade at a time, and then became two blades at a time...... It wasn't until the three wave blades attacked Regner at the same time that Ragner could no longer parry, and his left arm was cut by the air fluctuations with a shallow wound.
"It's very good, you were able to take two swing blades at the same time, and I am very satisfied with your performance. Willless's figure appeared beside Regner at some point, he looked at Regner and said, "If you turn on the Dark Body, it is possible to take my four waves or even five wave blades. Little Lei, you are very good!"
"Teacher......" Regner bowed down and made a master-apprentice salute, the wound on his left arm was very shallow, and this level could not even be counted as an injury.
Wellies suddenly came up and patted Regner on the shoulder: "Very good, Arcane Eyes, and Balor, they can't bother you, my apprentice of Wellles, you should be like this." ”
Regner saw that Verles was happier today, so he was also a little relaxed: "I wonder what the teacher is doing with me today?"
"You've called me a teacher for so long, so I'm here today to fulfill my duties as a teacher. "You beat Balor and won this competition, so it's worth rewarding you." ”
"Reward?" Regner was stunned, then said with a wry smile, "Thank you, teacher...... I don't know what the reward is......"
Vellais smiled, "That's what you just saw." ”
"???" Regner was confused.
"Wave Blade. Wellles said, "With your current level, you should be barely able to master this fighting skill, so I'm here today to teach you the tricks of the Wave Blade." ”
