Chapter 3: Kordak and the Old Man
"Vera, is it really you?" the middle-aged man writhed and tried to stand up, but because his hands and feet were tied rigidly, he struggled for a long time and couldn't get up.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Regner hurriedly used a dagger to cut the rope on the middle-aged man's foot. Although Vera had already revealed the identity of the middle-aged man, for the sake of caution, Regner still did not dare to free his hands easily.
"Father!" Vera greeted her, and without hesitation, she cut the rope from the middle-aged man's hand, and then looked at him carefully. Nine years later, this man is no longer tall and heroic, and even his hair is starting to turn gray.
"Vera, you...... You're not ......" The middle-aged man wanted to ask Vera if she was dead, but he never dared to speak, as if it was a spell that would become a reality once she said it.
Vera understood what the middle-aged man meant, and she shook her head: "No, my brother dragged the orcs back then, and my brother and I escaped. ”
"Balor is alive too?" the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he asked with some excitement, "Where is he?"
......Vera was a little speechless, but finally mustered up the courage to tell all the stories.
......
"I see. The middle-aged man nodded, he looked at Vera with red eyes, and comforted softly: "It's not you, my child." Now I can have a loved one, I am very content. ”
"You still have two...... Regna sighed in his heart, he wanted to tell everyone the truth when Vera told the story just now, but he hesitated for a long time and held back.
Looking at Vera with a guilty face, the middle-aged man didn't want to dwell on this matter. He digressed and asked, "Where did you go and why are you here?"
Vera wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "Later, I fled to Falling Star City, and then met two mercenaries there, so I joined the gang and became mercenaries with them. Until now, because the Eyes of the Secret Law have rewarded orc ears for the past two years, this area has now become a battlefield between humans and orcs, so I have appeared here. Father, what about you? How have you been ......for the past few years?"
The middle-aged man nodded and recalled: "Back then, when I went out hunting, I met a very good prey, so I chased it for a long distance as usual. Later, when I got home, I found ...... Those scenes were discovered. I went crazy and searched for you, but in the end I only found the bodies of your mother and your brother......"
The middle-aged man paused, even recalling the original scene made him feel miserable, he adjusted his emotions, and continued: "Later, I will bury them, and then go to you." I searched for a year and finally despaired. So I broke into orc territory alone with my belongings and began to hunt orcs constantly, and so on for eight years. ”
After hearing this, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they had survived alone in the orc territory for eight years! They couldn't imagine how the middle-aged man had survived these eight years, and what kind of feelings had supported him to endure the endless loneliness and fear?
"Father...... You ......"
The middle-aged man smiled kindly, and then a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "They took everything from me, then I will fight for this life to make them uneasy." ”
"The daughter is not filial, and she has made her father suffer all these years. Vera burst into tears again.
"It's my father who is not good, and I didn't even protect this family. The middle-aged man's eyes were also full of tears, and he wanted to hug Vera's father and daughter and cry to vent his feelings. But it wasn't too embarrassing to see Regner and Cordak staring at them dumbfounded.
The middle-aged man looked at the two living treasures, snorted coldly in his heart, and said with a slight sarcasm: "These two are your mercenary friends?
Vera didn't know what had just happened, so she just thought that her father wanted to introduce her companions, so she pointed at Regner and said, "This is Regner, the assassin of our team, don't look at the big people, but the strength is very strong, and the person is also very reliable." ”
"Hello, I'm Regner, an eleventh level assassin. Regner stretched out his hand, since this uncle was Vera's father, he would never dare to offend, so he quickly forgot about the unpleasantness just now and expressed friendship to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man is not a person with a small belly, but he has been tortured by the orcs in the past few days, so his temper is not very good. As soon as he woke up, Kordak mistook himself for the spy of the most disgusted orcs, and he lost his temper.
Seeing that Regnar was so enthusiastic at this time, he, as an elder, naturally wouldn't have anything to do with the junior, so he also smiled: "Hello, young man, I'm Field, Field Tricker." ”
Just as Field reached out to shake Regner's hand, Kordak on the side made the first move.
This 1.9-meter-tall man knocked Regner two meters away with a single butt.
"Ahahahaha! So you're Uncle Field! Vera often mentions you when we're with us! When I saw it today, I really lived up to my reputation! Oh, oh, look at how rude I am, introduce myself. The boy's name is Kordak, 24 years old this year, 1.90 meters tall, weighing 207 pounds, good conduct, good facial features, no smoking, drinking, prostitution, gambling and other bad habits, I boast a little that I can be regarded as a good man among men! Ah, I tell you, although it is Regna who saved you this time, but all of this, I arranged it, I heard before that a human was captured by the orcs, so I sent him to rescue, I didn't expect that the person who was so destined to be you, you look at these...... ”
Kordak grinned and rambled as he shook Field's hand enthusiastically and vigorously. His face was full of "Uncle, I am the best man among men, and I am the best choice for a son-in-law."
Field was dazed by Kordakra's handshake, he looked at Vera with some puzzlement, and then saw Vera with a little shyness and annoyance and said: "This guy is Kordaq, the captain of our mercenary team, and he was the one who took me in back then." ”
Although Field has been alone for nine years, he is also a middle-aged man with a lot of experience, how can he not understand the current situation.
He looked at Kordak as if he was a nervous disorder, and then turned to Vera and said, "My girl, your taste is really ...... It's really different......"
Vera's face turned red instantly, and she angrily punched the chattering Kordak.
Regner had just been squeezed away by Kordak, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed to see the boss so enthusiastic that he couldn't wait to hug Field and kiss them.
He hurriedly ran up and grabbed Kordak's arm: "Boss, boss, pay attention to discipline." You've never been so flattering to your own father, have you?"
"!" Cordak pushed Regner out with a flick of his arm, muttering in a low voice, "I can't have a wife to please my father!"
Just when everyone was about to get tired of the nerves of Kordak, Annelot's tent also moved.
"Come, Father, there is also a companion of mine here, her name is Anne Lot, and we usually call her Anne. Vera quickly interrupted Kordaq and pulled Field to introduce him to Annelot.
Field looked carefully at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his heart. Anne Lot has become more and more beautiful in the past two years, her skin is as white as snow, and her exquisite facial features have completely lost the childishness of the year, but with a little charm and liveliness.
In the past two years, under the influence of Regner and others, Anne Lot's temperament has also changed slightly, although it is still the main cold temperament, but it is a little more agile than back then.
What impressed Field the most was Annelot's long, silky blue hair, which fell like the finest silk and draped over Annelot's shoulders. Because she had just woken up, there were two handfuls of mischievous hair on the top of the girl's head, adding a bit of cuteness and cuteness to Annelot.
"What a pretty little girl!" said Field, "it is the first time I've seen such a pretty girl in all my life." Hello, I'm Field, Vera's father. ”
It took Annelot two seconds to figure out what was going on, then shook Field's hand: "Hello, sir. My name is Anne Lot. ”
Everyone has made a simple introduction, and it is considered familiar. Because Field now has a lot of injuries on his body, Kordak is very bold and takes out two bottles of healing potion. Field accepted this calmly, the girl is about to become yours, isn't it trivial to drink your two bottles of healing potion?
Due to Field's mobility difficulties, several people decided to leave for Meteor City today, anyway, Regner also got a lot of orc ears last night, and this trip is enough.
Just as everyone was getting ready to set off, several black dots appeared on the horizon in the distance.
"Hey, all lift your spirits, like the situation. Kordak shouted.
It was a human team of more than twenty people, led by a fat young mage, dressed in an earthy yellow magic robe, and led the crowd closer to Kordak.
"Oh, it turned out to be Master Fars of the Eyes of the Secret Law. Kordak smiled slightly, this Fars is a key cultivation object of the Arcane Eye, it is said that he is a Flame Setter, although he is not very old, he has now reached the fourteenth level.
